"Empress Dowager, save this servant."
"Empress Dowager, save this servant."
Cao Jixiang and his eunuchs were all crying.
They had never thought that this day would come so quickly.
A few days ago, they were still relying on their godfather Wang Zhen's reputation to do whatever they wanted and run amok.
Today, he was going to become a fish on a sticky board.
In their eyes, the Embroidered Uniform Guards who were as docile as lambs were like wolves and tigers today.
At this moment, they truly understood that they had lost their reliance.
The emperor who allowed them to flatter and stand up for them had become a thing of the past.
"Empress Dowager…"
The eunuchs 'mournful cries finally woke the stunned Empress Dowager Sun.
She staggered and looked at Tang Jian and his Jinyiwei with hatred.
"This widow wants to see that evil…wants to see the emperor, wants to see the emperor, and ask him if he wants to kill his mother?”
Tang Jian still had that cold expression on his face."His Majesty still has a pile of mess to clean up. He is busy every day and probably doesn't have time to listen to the Empress Dowager ramble on about these small matters.”
After Empress Dowager Sun heard Tang Jian's words, a cold smile hung on her face.
"Hehe, you bunch of things that are worse than pigs and dogs, you're really rebelling against the heavens. This widow is the late emperor's empress, the Retired Emperor's mother, and the current emperor's mother.”
"This widow wants to exterminate your nine clans, no, ten clans. Just like how Emperor Yong Le killed Fang Xiao Ru.”
At this time, Tang Jian's hand that was holding the Embroidered Spring Saber creaked.
It was obvious that his patience had reached its limit.
The third generation of the Tang family had pledged loyalty to the Ming Dynasty and the Emperor, and had made countless contributions.
However, in the eyes of Empress Dowager Sun, she was not even as good as a eunuch.
The eunuchs Xing An and Gao Ping who had come with them looked at each other and walked in front of Empress Dowager Sun in tacit understanding.
"Empress Dowager, even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your grandson.”
Their words shocked Empress Dowager Sun.
She stared at the two of them with hatred in her eyes."Did that lowly Wu clan make you say that? Now that she has power and her son is the emperor, does she think that she can be above aijia?”
Gao Ping and Xing An didn't say anything. They lowered their heads and spoke slowly.
"Empress Dowager, the little prince has woken up. You should go and take a look.”
Empress Dowager Sun finally compromised.
This was her weakness-her youngest grandson, Zhu Jianshen.
She knew that if she continued to pester them, some people would lay their hands on her young grandson.
Thinking of this, she suddenly looked like she had aged decades. She entered the palace alone with a hunched back.
The commander of the Brocade Guard, Tang Jian, looked deeply at Xing An and Gao Ping. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart."These eunuchs are still the most ruthless. One sentence from them can hit his fatal spot.”
Cao Jixiang, the head eunuch with disheveled hair and a terrified expression, suddenly thought of something when he saw Gao Ping and Xing An.
At this moment, it was as if he had found his savior.
He knew that if there was anyone here who could save his life, it would be these two.
"Gao Ping, Xing An, two brothers, save me, save me.”
"Brothers, no, godfathers, save our son. His son was willing to take out all his family property to honor his two godfathers.”
Cao Jixiang looked at the two eunuchs who were one round younger than him and begged.
Xing An and Gao Ping looked extremely satisfied.
In the past, in Cao Jixiang's eyes, the two eunuchs of the Nian Ci Palace were like ants.
When they saw him, the two of them were like pugs, flattering Cao Jixiang.
Now, he himself had become a lapdog, wagging his tail and begging for mercy from the two of them.
And all of this change was because he had the emperor as his backer.
Xing An and Gao Ping walked up to Cao Jixiang.""Seeing that you've helped us before, we can beg Commander Tang to let you suffer less.”
"As for your million-dollar family property, we don't dare to take it. It's better to give it to His Majesty.”
Hall of Diligent Government.
The Commander of the Royal Guards, Tang Jian, and the eunuchs, Gao Ping and Xing An, have come to report.
After Zhu Qiyu learned that he had captured the Head Eunuch Cao Jixiang and the rest of Wang Zhen's henchmen, he revealed a gratified smile.
Cao Jixiang, in history, was this thief, working together with Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen and the others to start the rebellion.
In the end, Zhu Qizhen, Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty, was restored to the throne.
Cao Jixiang was one of the culprits. He was the greediest and cruelest eunuch after Wang Zhen.
Now, seeing that he had been caught, how could Zhu Qiyu not be happy?
"Good, you guys did well."
"By the way, Tang Jian, transfer all the silver seized to the national treasury.”
Tang Jian was slightly taken aback, then hurriedly said,""Yes, Your Majesty. I'll ask the people from the Ministry of Revenue to check.”
When Yu Qian heard this, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhu Qiyu seemed to have thought of something."Oh right, Tang Jian, join forces with the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court, and the Imperial Censorate to investigate the case of the meritorious officials and generals embezzling the empty salary.”
"Regardless of their rank, once they are investigated, their property will be confiscated and immediately sent to the imperial prison.”
Yu Qian frowned and did not stop him.
Now was an extraordinary time, and he had to use an extraordinary method.
After the Embroidered Uniform Guards Commander Tang Jian heard this, his expression finally revealed an excited expression.
He knew that the Embroidered Uniform Guards had risen again.
The new emperor trusted him so much that he gave the Brocade Guard special privileges that they had never had in years.
"Yes, I will not disappoint Your Majesty.”
After Tang Jian and Yu Qian left, Zhu Qiyu looked at Gao Ping and Xing An.
He also asked about the situation of Cining Palace in detail.
After learning what the two of them had said to Empress Dowager Sun, he couldn't help but admire the two people his mother had trained.
Other than Cheng Jing and Shu Liang, who could be of great use, there was really no one who could compare to the two of them.
"Xing An, Gao Ping. This time, the two of you have done well. First, learn from Chengdan for a period of time. Then, I have a heavy responsibility.”
Zhu Qiyu said amiably.
After the two eunuchs heard this, they immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, looking extremely grateful.
The young eunuch, Wang Cheng, couldn't help but snort coldly when he saw the two of them fawning over him.
In the capital.
All three thousand Embroidered Uniform Guards were mobilized, setting off a huge storm.
No one expected that the new emperor would attack the descendants of the meritorious officials of Jingnan first.
Earl of Jingyuan, Marquis of Ningan, Marquis of Zhendong, Earl of Pingnan…
The descendants of these meritorious people were all tied up by the Embroidered Uniform Guards and captured into the Imperial Jail of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Moreover, all of their properties were confiscated.
The capital had changed.
