Every time an Emperor came to power, there would be a major purge of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
The Emperor would replace them with his most trusted people to take charge of the Brocade Guard and collect all kinds of intelligence for him.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards had no regrets about this. The only thing they were loyal to was the imperial power.
Chen Yan woke up early because he liked to drink tea.
Some of the good tea that came from all over the world and even foreign countries could not reach the imperial court, but they could reach Lord Chen Yan's residence.
It wasn't that Chen Yan had a lot of power, he was just the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites.
It was because he had his own methods. The Ministry of Rites had four divisions: the Ministry of Rites, the Temple Department, the Food Department, and the Guest and Guest Department. There would always be people who would ingratiate themselves with him and send him a lot of precious tea.
Even the mouthwash that Chen Yan used when he woke up was the best West Lake Longjing tea.
When he woke up today, the servants had already prepared Longjing tea to rinse his mouth.
Chen Yan came to the courtyard and stretched.
Then, he let out a long breath. This was a method he had obtained from an old Daoist.
In the morning, when one woke up and faced the southeast, one would exhale the turbid qi in one's chest and abdomen and take a deep breath of the clear qi. It had the effect of prolonging one's life.
He didn't know if it could prolong his life, but it had become a habit of Chen Yan's over the years.
He faced the southeast and exhaled. A servant handed him some mouthwash tea.
He rinsed his mouth for a while before spitting it out.
Under the morning sun, a rainbow appeared in front of Chen Yan.
Satisfied, he placed the teacup back on the tray in the servant's hand, tidied his court clothes, and looked up at the sky.
Yes, today was another good day ~
In other words, it was another day full of vitality!
Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished. Just as Chen Yan was about to continue stretching his muscles and bones, the otaku door was suddenly knocked open by someone.
The force was so strong that the bolt on the door was knocked open.
Before Chen Yan could come back to his senses, a team of gorgeous Jinyiwei rushed in.
Embroidered Uniform Guards had three standard items on them: embroidered spring sabers, flying fish clothes, and golden tokens. Because they were in charge of criminal prisons and had the power to patrol and arrest, no one would give them face once the tokens were out.
Xia Dechao looked like the God of War in Crooked Mouth. He gently took out the token from his waist.
"Lord Chen, come with us.”
It had been a long time since the Embroidered Uniform Guards had acted in such a grand manner.
Chen Yan even had the illusion that the Brocade Guard was already a group of pets that had degenerated their fangs. When they saw officials like them, they would only wag their tails and beg for mercy.
But today, what he saw was a pack of wolves, a pack of hungry wolves that bared their fangs.
In the next second, a huge fear began to spread in Chen Yan's heart.
He finally remembered that many days ago, Lord Wansui had personally issued an imperial edict in the court, ordering the Crown Prince to take over as the deputy commander of the Brocade Guard.
At that time, everyone thought that this was just a whim of Lord Wansui to let the young Crown Prince experience it. The so-called deputy commander was just a nominal title.
Now he understood that this was all set up by Lord Wansui!
Wansui wanted to make a move on him. Thinking of this, cold sweat trickled down Chen Yan's forehead.
He even forgot to argue and resist.
"Take him down!"
Several Jinyiwei beside him went over and grabbed Chen Yan without a word.
In fact, any argument or resistance would be futile.
In the hands of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, there were only four words,'living a life worse than death.'
Chen Yan was an old man in the imperial court. He was very clear about the procedures of the Jinyiwei.
Therefore, he did not quibble too much. Moreover, he had already seen the servant beside him lower his head.
Then, the Jinyiwei outside rushed in one after another.
They rushed into Chen Yan's residence with ease and brought out everyone in the Chen residence.
Some of the family members began to cry, and everyone's faces were filled with fear.
Other than the few people who had been arranged by the Brocade Guard to stand aside, the servant beside Chen Yan who had his head lowered was one of them.
Chen Yan finally understood that these people who had been singled out by the Embroidered Uniform Guards were all people who had betrayed him.
Among these people, there were servants who had followed him for many years, as well as his concubines.
And the things they had in their hands were enough for him to die a hundred times over.
Fear continued to spread in Chen Yan's heart.
He began to tremble, his legs trembling. The Brocade Guard was expressionless, and Xia Dechao looked at him with contempt.
"Lord Chen, His Highness the Crown Prince has ordered Lord Chen to follow us to the Imperial Jail. I heard that Lord Chen likes to drink tea. There are good tea leaves in the imperial prison of our North Town's Fu Department.”
Chen Yan's entire body was already trembling uncontrollably. How could he take another step?
His body was as soft as noodles, so he could only be carried out of the mansion by the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Then, the entire Chen Manor was sealed.
All the family members of the Chen family were escorted out.
Chen Yan's home was raided by the Embroidered Uniform Guards. This was like a bomb that spread throughout the capital.
When Chen Yan was dragged out of the manor, there were no onlookers.
Because the words 'Embroidered Uniform Guards' were synonymous with terror, no one dared to come forward to watch.
All the commoners could do was close their doors and then quietly observe everything outside through the cracks in their doors.
