Zhu Ji, the commander of Jinyiwei, is Yu Qian's son-in-law.
However, under his hands, the imperial guards deteriorated from bad to worse, completely losing the charm of the Taizong Dynasty.
When entering Qianqing Palace.
He saw a man whose back and buttocks were completely beaten.
Still dying.
Every time the wooden stick hit him, blood spurted out.
Accompanied by a numb and miserable cry.
That cry made him inexplicably frightened.
He has been on the throne for eight years now, and he can be called a wise king and a magnanimous man.
What did this eunuch commit that led to him being beaten like this?
All the way to Xinuang Pavilion, Shu Liang passed the order: "The emperor's oral instructions are conveyed, announcing Zhu Ji's visit."
Zhu Ji went to see him and knelt on the ground.
Zhu Qiyu leaned on the cushions and stared at him quietly for a long time before saying in a cold voice: "Zhu Ji, do you want to join the rebellion?"
"ah?"
Zhu Ji was startled and nodded: "I am loyal to Your Majesty. I would never dare to..."
He did not dare to say the word rebellion.
"Loyal? Then Shi Heng rebelled, why didn't you retaliate!"
Zhu Qiyu's voice was sharp and sharp.
Shi Heng? Rebellion?
Zhu Ji was completely confused. Shi Heng is an important border general you rely on. How could he rebel? Who rebelled? Why?
Wang Cheng was also confused: Your Majesty just said that Cao Jixiang was rebelling, why did Shi Heng also want to rebel? How could your Majesty be so sorry to them? Why did they have to rebel?
"kindness?"
Zhu Qiyu stared at him with stern eyes, his eyes numbing his scalp.
"I don't know," Zhu Ji replied bravely.
“I don’t know this or that!”
"What use do I need from you as a royal guard?"
"Drag him out and kill him with a stick!"
Zhu Qiyu was furious.
"Your Majesty, have mercy on me! Have mercy on me, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Ji thought of the eunuch at the door.
His numb and shrill screams kept echoing in his ears, and he was extremely frightened in his heart.
Being dragged out by two eunuchs, he burst into tears and kept crying and begging for mercy.
I was really scared out of my mind.
His whole body was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to struggle.
"Wait a minute, let him get over here."
The two eunuchs stopped dragging him out, and Zhu Jiru listened to the fairy voice. He didn't know how he was dragged back.
As the hereditary son-in-law of Yu Qian and the commander of the Jinyi Guards, he has never been so embarrassed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness, Thank you for Your Majesty's kindness!"
He knelt on the ground crying, liquid leaking out from between his buttocks, and he was extremely embarrassed.
"alright."
Zhu Qiyu stood up and looked at him condescendingly: "I ask you, can I trust you?"
"I am loyal to Your Majesty and I would never dare to have second thoughts." Zhu Ji was so shocked that he hit his head on the floor hard.
See, people in the world are afraid of power but not moral.
I am extremely benevolent and righteous to both inside and outside the palace, and all the officials in the factory and guards think that I am weak and can be bullied!
It was just a show of power, and Zhu Ji was so frightened that he peed his pants and knelt at my feet!
In the past, I was ruined by being too kind!
It's you who forced me to become a tyrant!
Zhu Qiyu nodded with satisfaction: "How many people in the Jinyi Guards obey your orders? I want to listen to the truth."
"There are less than two hundred people, but they can all die for Your Majesty!" Zhu Ji found it difficult to say.
There are tens of thousands of people registered in Jinyiwei. Zhu Ji, the leader of Jinyiwei, can actually command 200 people. You can't say it out loud!
"It was passed down through my mouth that I have recovered and will go to the Zhenwu Temple on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month to fulfill my vows, accompanied by the Jin Yiwei." Zhu Qiyu found an excuse and transferred the Jin Yiwei into the palace.
"Your Majesty Zhu Ji accepts the order!"
Zhu Qiyu showed a smile on his face and helped Zhu Ji up:
"Zhu Aiqing."
"The imperial concubine and Luanying hit it off immediately."
"I then asked Zhu Aiqing to bring your daughter-in-law and Xuanying into the palace to spend a few days with the imperial concubine."
"how?"
Zhu Ji's face changed slightly, the emperor was taking his family members as hostages!
"You want to refute the imperial concubine's face?"
Seeing that he didn't respond, Zhu Qiyu's face turned gloomy.
Zhu Ji trembled all over and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "I dare not, but I would like to express my gratitude to the emperor and the noble concubine for your kindness on behalf of my wife!"
Junying is not only Zhu Ji's wife, but also Yu Qian's daughter.
Yu Qian has one and only one fatal weakness, which is his daughter, Junying.
If you master Xuanying, you will master Yu Qian, because Yu Qian is a daughter slave.
Yu Qian, Yu Qian, what do you choose in this life?
Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied with Zhu Ji's reaction and helped him up: "I hope Zhu Aiqing will tell Yu Shaobao that I will dispatch the Beijing camp to Beijing to put down the rebellion."
A dignified emperor needs the approval of his ministers to dispatch the capital camp. This emperor is too frustrated to be in the position.
"Wei Chen must tell his father-in-law." Zhu Ji did not dare to resist at all.
Do not know why.
He had watched the emperor for eight years.
An inexplicable feeling of strangeness arose.
There is also a hint of fear that I don't want to mention.
"Wang Cheng."
"Send Zhu Aiqing home."
"By the way, we will take Huangying into the palace to meet the imperial concubine. We must not delay it."
Zhu Qiyu was careful not to betray Zhu Ji.
As long as he is in danger, Zhu Ji's whole family will be buried with him.
"My slave obeys the order!"
Watching Wang Cheng take Zhu Ji out of the palace.
However, Zhu Qiyu did not relax at all. Empress Dowager Sun's spies were everywhere in the palace. If he tried to hide this, he might not be able to hide it for long.
With two hundred brocade guards, there was no way they could withstand more than a thousand frontier troops who looked like wolves and tigers.
etc!
He seems to have ignored the twenty-six guards in the palace!
Starting from Emperor Taizu, Emperors Taizong and Xuanzong continued to strengthen the imperial guards in the palace. The palace was heavily guarded and fortified at every level.
How did Zhu Qizhen pass through the Forbidden City and break into the Qianqing Palace?
Menda!
Yes, it's him!
How could you forget this bastard!
Zhu Qiyu slapped his forehead and asked Shu Liang calmly: "Which guard is guarding the palace today?"
Shu Liang reported a bunch of names of health centers.
"The commander of Kingo's left guard is Menda?"
"The former commander of the Jinwu Left Guard died of illness just a year ago, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Qianshi Menda, has been temporarily appointed as his replacement. Since you are not feeling well, I did not report to you." Shu Liang answered truthfully.
Sure enough, Menda opened the door of Donghua Gate!
It was he who put Zhu Qizhen into the palace!
So how many of the twenty-six guards are Menda's accomplices?
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed coldly: "How many eunuchs in the palace are willing to die for you?"
Shu Liang knelt on the ground with a thud: "Your Majesty, I dare not form a clique for personal gain..."
"If I ask you, tell the truth!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes turned cold.
"No more than twenty people." Shu Liang replied obediently.
"Can you capture Menda secretly without alerting the guards? I want to interrogate Menda secretly!"
"able!"
Although I don’t know why the emperor is sure that Menda has rebelled, as long as the emperor asks him to do something, he will definitely do it even if he dies!
"As soon as it gets dark, do it. Remember, don't let any news get out, especially the one from Renshou Palace."
According to history, the incident of seizing the door took place on the night of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.
Zhu Qiyu must use this day and night to prepare.
It is impossible to completely hide the truth from Queen Mother Sun. At the very least, we have to find out all the moles in the Twenty-Six Guards.
Use the Twenty-Six Guards to hold back Shi Heng's border troops, allowing the Beijing camp enough time to enter the capital.
As long as Yu Qian leads the Beijing battalion to Beijing to quell the rebellion, Zhu Qizhen will not be able to cause trouble.
But we must also be prepared for Yu Qian to turn a blind eye to the imperial edict.
He must rely on his own strength to defeat Shi Heng.
In that case, the twenty-six guards will become particularly important.
He must control the hearts of the twenty-six guards.
"I will squint for a while and remember every word I said."
"besides."
"No matter who asks to see you, I won't see you without reporting anything."
After struggling for a long time, Zhu Qiyu's body was a little overwhelmed.
"I will never forget this even if I die!"
Shu Liang spread a quilt for him and served Zhu Qiyu to lay his pillow on him.
After Zhu Qiyu fell asleep, he asked all the eunuchs and maids in the palace to kneel at the door, while he knelt under Zhu Qiyu's bed.
