The imperial prison of the Royal Guards was a place where people would turn pale at the mention of tigers.
In the prison.
A brazier of charcoal was burning fiercely, crackling from time to time. The edge of the brazier was clamped with a red-hot branding iron.
There were all kinds of torture tools hanging on the walls around the house. Tiger stools, dog heads, and other terrifying torture tools were placed around.
"Commander Wan, don't make this lowly official look bad. Just say what you have to say, so that you won't suffer physical pain later.”
A newly promoted Embroidered Uniform Guard captain said sinisterly.
With Mou Bin's promotion, the Embroidered Uniform Guards who followed Mou Bin also rose in power.
Especially now that they were interrogating the former Embroidered Uniform Guards Commander Wan Xi, this made the Embroidered Uniform Guards lieutenants feel even more delighted.
"I'll confess. I'll confess."
Before Wan Xi could use torture, he had already pulled out all the henchmen loyal to Empress Dowager Wan in the Brocade Guard.
"Commander Mou, confess."
The commandant of the Brocade Guard walked over with a yellow book in his hand.
Mou Bin looked at the name list and closed his eyes.
"One hundred and thirty-six people, this number is a bit big.”
Mou Bin felt a chill in his heart, and then he said with a straight face,""Capture them all and execute them all!”
"Yes, sir!"
Since the Emperor wanted to seize power, Mou Bin could not be timid. He had been promoted to the Commander of the Brocade Guard with great difficulty. If he did not make some achievements, he was not worthy of being the Emperor's dog!
……
The news of Wan Xi being captured quickly reached Empress Dowager Wan's ears.
Zhu You Tang knew that the people around him were all Empress Dowager Wan's people, so he wasn't afraid that Empress Dowager Wan would hear about it.
The first main mission given by the system was to eliminate Empress Dowager Wan's henchmen.
Even if the system did not say anything, Zhu Youtang would not let these people off.
After all, this world is already mine. No one can touch it!
If the internal court is unstable, how can we stabilize the world?
Hurried footsteps came from outside the door. Soon, Empress Dowager Wan entered Yangxin Hall with Liang Fang.
"Your Majesty." Empress Dowager Wan cried out anxiously," I heard that the Embroidered Uniform Guards captured Wan Xi by mistake. Is that true?"”
Zhu Youtang said expressionlessly,"The Jinyiwei didn't catch you by mistake. It was Zhen's decree. Is there a problem?"”
Empress Dowager Wan had already given Zhu Youtang as much face as possible and did not make a big fuss about Wan Xi's arrest.
In her opinion, a single sentence of mistaken arrest should be enough to let the young emperor understand how many eyes and ears she, Empress Dowager Wan, had in the palace.
Empress Dowager Wan replied,"What mistake did Wanxi make?"”
Zhu Youtang did not answer her and said indifferently again,""Is there a problem?"
However, this time, the imposing manner on his body had changed. A terrifying imperial aura was revealed from his bones.
Empress Dowager Wan's heart skipped a beat. This kind of aura was too terrifying. Empress Dowager Wan had never seen it on the old emperor Zhu Jianshen.
"If Wan Xi's Jinyiwei family is not good enough, it is indeed not a problem to change it to Mou Bin, but it will not be to the extent of being thrown into prison.”
Empress Dowager Wan braced herself.
Zhu Youtang's expression became even colder as he spoke again,""I ask you, is there a problem?"
This gaze was really too terrifying. The aura that was mixed with two or three sentences swept over like a torrential flood.
Most importantly, Empress Dowager Wan was a little irritated by this gaze.
Was there a problem? These four simple words revealed that he was the emperor, the ruler of the Ming Dynasty, and controlled the life and death of everyone!
He had issued an order to arrest people and change the power of the Jinyiwei. What was wrong with that? He was the emperor of Ming Dynasty, what problem could there be?
Empress Dowager Wan looked deeply at Zhu Youtang. This little emperor seemed to have become a stranger to her, so strange that her heart jumped.
She had underestimated Zhu Youtang. At first, she didn't care, but now she had to pay attention to her nervousness.
"Aijia said the wrong thing. Son, you have just ascended the throne, don't overwork yourself.”
After she finished speaking, she prepared to leave.
"Liang Fang, you've worked hard serving mother. In the future, focus on serving mother.”Suddenly, Zhu Youtang's cold voice came from behind.
This caused Empress Dowager Wan and Liang Fang to be stunned. The two of them stopped in their tracks and stood rooted to the ground.
"Yes…yes!"
Liang Fang turned around and knelt down to receive the decree with a trembling voice.
Zhu Youtang waved his hand." Go, accompany your mother back to the palace and serve her well."”
……
The sky in Northern Zhili was extremely gloomy, as if it was going to rain.
Liang Fang looked at the sky in a daze. It was clearly March, but he had never felt so cold before. It was so cold that it penetrated into his bones.
After leaving Yangxin Palace Hall, Liang Fang shuddered. Her body swayed, and she almost fell to the ground. Her lips trembled, and her body went limp. She could barely hold her pee.
In one sentence, he had taken over the authority of the ceremonial supervisor and handed it over to the emperor's most trusted Zhang Min.
The Chief of Rites was a eunuch who was in charge of reviewing memorials. He had the highest authority among the eunuchs.
But now, with just a word from the new Son of Heaven, he had taken it away from him.
As expected…the world was going to change!
This young emperor was simply a tiger that had just come out of its cage. In the past, he only hid it and acted extremely timid.
However, he had just ascended the throne, and his fangs were all exposed.
Would Empress Dowager Wan be able to block this kind of trick?
"Dog slave! What are you waiting for? Let's go!"
Empress Dowager Wan gritted her teeth.
Even if she had eyes and ears all over the harem and had immense power, what was she in front of the Ming Emperor?
She needed to spend countless gold, silver, jewelry, power, and official positions to rope in these eunuchs and Jinyiwei.
But what about Tian Zi?
With just a few words, the sky of the Imperial Dynasty changed.
What was the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty?
For the first time, Empress Dowager Wan understood this with trepidation.
When the old Emperor Zhu Jianshen was still in power, he had doted on her so much that Empress Dowager Wan had mistakenly thought that imperial power was just that, and power was just that.
But today…
Her expression was a little miserable, but she forced herself to calm down.
After returning to the Palace of Benevolence and Longevity, Empress Dowager Wan's first words were," Move out of Renshou Palace.
Liang Fang nodded and left.
At this moment, he looked like he had lost his parents.
A eunuch who had lost his power would find it difficult to move an inch in the back palace.
Even if he had Empress Dowager Wan to support him, would the time for Empress Dowager Wan to be destroyed be far away?
Liang Fang felt sad, but what was the use of regretting now? What was the value of his existence to Zhu Youtang?
He suddenly envied the two eunuchs, Zhang Min and Huai 'en. If he had learned from them back then and protected Zhu Youtang's growth together, would it still be like this now?
But there was no medicine for regret in this world!
