Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

He had something else to report today, and happened to hear that two important ministers had also arrived in Taiyuan, so he came over and asked to see the emperor together.

With the two of them going together, there should be a great chance for me to see the emperor in person this time.

Wen Tiren and the other man immediately accepted his proposal with pleasure after hearing it.

But when they heard Guo Yunhou talk about his meetings with the emperor during this period, they looked at each other in great surprise, and at the same time had a bad premonition in their hearts.

Wen Tiren excitedly grabbed Guo Yunhou's collar.

"You mean, you haven't seen His Majesty in person these days?"

Guo Yunhou nodded solemnly.

Sun Chengzong's face suddenly darkened.

"In such a critical situation, how could His Majesty not even summon an important official?"

"Not only did His Majesty refuse to see Lord Guo, but he also refused to summon me and Lord Wen. This is extremely suspicious!"

After hearing what Sun Chengzong said, Wen Tihen became even more shocked and confused.

"It's really suspicious. When Your Majesty was in Beijing, no matter how busy he was, he would take time out every day to go to the cabinet to discuss state affairs."

"Now that they haven't entered Taiyuan yet, they've taken Prince Xin away to live with the other princes. This... this is like putting all the princes of the Ming Dynasty under house arrest!"

Sun Chengzong asked Guo Yunhou in a serious tone.

"Who is guarding outside His Majesty's bedroom?"

When Wen Tiren heard this, he immediately realized it and his expression turned grim.

"Only Wei Zhongxian and Xuanwu Commander Youtong were guarding the door to the bedroom, one on each side."

"Except for some Jinyiwei outside, the Jinyiwei commander Sun Kangwang, who has always been guarding Changchun Palace and was promoted by His Majesty himself, has not been seen for a long time!"

"this......"

The three of them fell silent at the same time.

This kind of plot has appeared too many times in the history of previous dynasties. The more they thought about it, the more terrifying and unbelievable it seemed.

Sun Chengzong's tears had already fallen, and his voice was trembling: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it has already..."

"No!!! No way! Definitely not!"

Wen Tiren was so excited that he almost roared.

Guo Yunhou was puzzled and said, "But...but I clearly heard the voice of His Majesty outside the bedroom?"

"Master Guo, haven't you heard that there is a ventriloquist in the capital? He can imitate the sounds of all things, let alone your Majesty's voice!"

After hearing what Sun Chengzong said, Guo Yunhou was completely paralyzed.

It turns out that the person he talked to these times was not His Majesty?

He said quickly: "The most important thing now is to go to the Changchun Palace and confirm the current situation of His Majesty."

"Let's go!" Wen Tiren was extremely anxious and really wanted to fly to the door of the bedroom immediately.

"and many more!"

Before Wen Tiren and the other man could react, Sun Chengzong had already gone to the back court. When he came out again, he had a long sword in his hand!

It was the imperial sword bestowed by Zhu Youxiao long ago!

"The situation is unclear now. If Wei Yan dares to take advantage of the opportunity to destroy the Ming Dynasty, I will throw away my life and fight him!"

Wen Tiren and the other man were deeply moved when they saw him like this, and then they went to other officials in the provincial government and each took a sword.

The three men and three swords came out of the provincial government office and headed straight for the Prince of Jin's mansion.

It was the autumn wind of August, and the cool breeze blew the robes of the three people, making them rustle, and raising dust as they walked.

At this moment, in their minds, the Ming Dynasty was once again in a critical moment of survival.

In order to prevent the Ming Dynasty from falling into chaos again, they did not hesitate.

But after entering Prince Jin's Mansion, neither the Dongchang guards on duty nor the Jinyiwei tried to stop them too much.

It went so smoothly that it was completely beyond their expectations.

But the three did not let down their guard, perhaps there would be a bigger trap waiting for them.

only.......

It doesn’t matter. They have long put life and death aside.

"Your Majesty's bedroom is in front."

When they were almost at Changchun Palace, Guo Yunhou reminded in a low voice.

Sun Chengzong saw Wei Zhongxian standing at the door from afar, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and his hand was already on the hilt of the sword.

When Wei Zhongxian saw the three men coming with swords and full of murderous intent, his face also became gloomy.

Without giving the three people a chance to get close to the bedroom, he walked down the stairs first and opened his arms to stop them.

"Stop! You three are important ministers of His Majesty. Don't you know the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects?"

"How can you bring a sword into your majesty's bedroom?"

"Are you planning to assassinate me?"

The three of them looked at each other, otherwise it would be even more suspicious if they got closer to the bedroom!

Wen Tiren pointed his sword directly at Wei Zhongxian: "Wei Yan! Stop making random accusations and slandering loyal people! We have urgent matters to report to His Majesty!"

Clang!

Sun Chengzong also drew his sword: "Get out of the way! We want to see His Majesty!"

Wei Zhongxian retreated quickly, his face turned cold, and he shouted loudly.

"Come here! The minister is plotting a rebellion and wants to assassinate Your Majesty. Capture him immediately!"

Upon hearing the order, the surrounding Jinyiwei surrounded him instantly.

Clang, clang, clang, clang!

Suddenly, the sound of swords being unsheathed resounded throughout Changchun Palace.

"I am the Prime Minister, how dare you stop me from seeing His Majesty!"

After Wen Tiren finished speaking, he was about to rush towards the bedroom. Seeing this, the Jinyiwei approached with knives in hand.

As long as he dares to attack the bedroom, they will really dare to chop him down!

The situation is extremely critical.

At this moment, a familiar but faint voice came from the bedroom.

"What are you arguing about so early in the morning... cough cough... cough cough cough..."

When Wen Tiren and Sun Chengzong heard the voice, they looked at each other in surprise.

Wow! The voice is really convincing. No wonder Guo Yunhou was kept in the dark.

Sun Chengzong directly scolded: "How dare you pretend to be your majesty? You deserve to die!"

Before he finished speaking, the bedroom door opened with a creak.

When they saw Zhu Youxiao with a very bad face lying on the dragon bed, the three of them were shocked and the swords in their hands fell to the ground at the same time.

"Your Majesty!!! Your Majesty, is it really you?"

Wen Tiren was the first to rush into the bedroom, crawled in front of the dragon bed, and burst into tears.

The three men dropped their swords, and Wei Zhongxian had to wave his hand to let the Jinyiwei retreat, and the murderous intent in his eyes quickly disappeared.

"Your Majesty! I am late!"

Sun Chengzong and Guo Yunhou came forward, knelt down, kowtowed and cried bitterly.

Zhu Youxiao got a headache when he saw this scene.

"Stop... stop... I'm not dead yet... I can make you cry to death..."

Wen Tiren said nervously, "Long live His Majesty, and never say such ominous words again."

Zhu Youxiao rolled his eyes at him. This thing is good at biting people, but it would be so annoying if it licked him.

"Everyone, get up... talk properly... if you have something to say, just say it... I still need to rest well and want to live a few more days..."

Sun Chengzong bowed and said, "I came here in response to your imperial order. I have not seen your Majesty for several days. I am worried that I have offended you. Please forgive me."

"It's fine this time... If it happens again... I won't let you off easily..."

"If there is nothing else, please leave..."

After being kicked by Sun Chengzong, Guo Yunhou finally came to his senses.

He now recalled his action of charging into the bedroom with a sword, and felt a little scared.

After being reminded, he realized that he really had something to report, and he immediately calmed down before speaking.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Hurry up and tell me..."

"Cheng Yu, a deputy director of the Water Conservancy Bureau of the Ministry of Works, reported that the number of disaster victims outside Taiyuan City has increased sharply today, with nearly 10,000 new victims in the past three days alone."

"In compliance with your majesty's order, we are offering work in lieu of relief, but these people have flocked to the construction site, and the more than one hundred officials of the Water Conservancy Bureau are simply unable to manage them all."

"I am worried that chaos will occur in the long run, so I implore your Majesty to issue an order to dispatch personnel to assist us."

Zhu Youxiao thought about it and replied, "Then I will temporarily allocate 600 elite soldiers from the Beijing camp to assist in management."

Guo Yunhou was stunned for a moment: "Beijing Camp? This... How long will it take to go back and forth? I'm afraid..."

Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian, who was standing by, glared at him fiercely.

"Master Guo, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Just take care of your own business. How can His Majesty give you the cold shoulder?"

Guo Yunhou was even more puzzled, but the next moment, beads of sweat the size of beans oozing out of his forehead.

Nima........

Although I don't know why the Beijing Camp appeared here, but since it involves military affairs, if I ask around...

It will kill people!

He fell to his knees beside Zhu Youxiao's couch with a plop: "I have spoken out of turn, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

He was not afraid of being punished, but he was afraid of bringing trouble to his family.

Serving the king is like serving a tiger, and this is no joke!

Looking at his frightened expression, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand weakly.

"This won't happen again. Everyone, please retreat!"

Wen Tiren and Sun Chengzong had achieved the purpose of their trip, so they didn't say anything more. After they both bowed, they left together.

But Guo Yunhou was still kneeling there motionless.

"Master Guo, why don't you leave? Are you waiting for me to sentence you to death?"

Guo Yunhou smiled bitterly and said, "I have something else to report to Your Majesty."

"Hurry up and tell me...get out of here..."

"Yes, I would like to borrow three hundred Jinyiwei from Your Majesty."

Zhu Youxiao was very surprised when he heard this.

"Oh! What do you want to borrow it for?"

"I want to generate revenue for the Ministry of Revenue."

Chapter 424 Sky-high rent

Since Wang Chengen arrived in Taiyuan, he has been busy every day, never stopping for a moment, either collecting money or receiving goods.

First came the property of Prince Fu, then that of Prince Zhao and Prince Shen, and finally several hundred carts of wealth and goods sent from Tsushima Island and Nanpu.

Seeing cartloads of gold, silver and jewelry being constantly moved away by the Western Factory, Guo Yunhou felt very stimulated and jealous.
