Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 266 Zhu Ying was stunned. Lady Lü was banished to the cold palace.

Chapter 266 Zhu Ying was stunned. Lady Lü was banished to the cold palace.
Today, upon returning to the palace.

After killing the old palace maid.

Zhu Yunwen was already preparing to appeal to the emperor, but he hadn't thought things through. If Li Li hadn't spoken up, Zhu Yunwen would never have thought to have the guards lock up Lady Lü.

If it is not as Li Li said.

The Lü family would definitely take some remedial measures to avoid being caught off guard like this.

Listening to Zhu Yunwen's gratitude.

Li Li immediately bowed deeply: "Thank you for your praise, young master. It is my duty."

"Alright, the Embroidered Uniform Guard is now gathering all the palace staff."

"We should also go and see who should stay and who shouldn't," Zhu Yunwen sneered, his voice filled with murderous intent.

In front of the East Palace Hall!
The Embroidered Uniform Guards gathered.

Every now and then, palace servants were driven over by the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

eunuch.

Palace maid.

in a blink.

Four or five hundred palace servants had gathered in the square in front of the main hall.

The Eastern Palace, which serves as the residence of the Crown Prince, may seem to have four or five hundred palace servants, but in reality, the number has been significantly reduced. After all, even the meals for the Imperial Guards are prepared within the Eastern Palace.

"what's up?"

Why were we summoned?

"I do not know."

"I had heard that the Embroidered Uniform Guard had entered the palace, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"fine."

"His Highness the Crown Prince despises the Embroidered Uniform Guard the most, so they wouldn't dare go too far..."

As these palace servants were summoned, many couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

now.

Many palace servants remained unaware of the impending danger.

Jiang Huan, on the other hand, arrived at the main hall carrying a register.

"Those whose names have been called, stand on my left."

"Those whose names are not called, stay where you are."

Jiang Huan glanced at the gathered palace servants and shouted.

Followed.

Without hesitation, Jiang Huan opened the roster and began to read: "Li Mei, Chen Lin, Wu Yuan..."

They called out each name one by one.

Those whose names were called were met with the cold gazes of the Imperial Guards, all of whom were armed with swords.

He walked out with a feeling of trepidation and stood to Jiang Huan's left.

Time lasts.

soon.

Jiang Huan had already recited more than forty names, and then stopped.

Obviously.

Those whose names were called had no connection with the Lü family; they were originally palace servants of the Eastern Palace, selected before the Lü family took control of the internal affairs.

However, even at this moment, these palace servants still did not understand what the Embroidered Uniform Guard was going to do.

"Those who stayed behind."

"By order of the Emperor."

"Throw him into the Jinyiwei prison and execute him at a later date."

Jiang Huan glanced at it and coldly shouted.

The words fell.

The palace servants, who had been standing obediently, immediately panicked and were at a loss for what to do.

"grown ups."

"What have these little people done wrong?"

"I have no idea what I have done wrong. Please tell me, sir."

"My lord, please spare my life."

"Spare my life..."

Suddenly.

The palace servants in front of the main hall were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they all knelt on the ground.

With the Imperial Guards watching them closely, no one dared to escape, nor could they escape.

All they could do was plead loudly for them to be spared.

"Perhaps none of you have made any mistakes."

"However, you were all allowed to enter the palace by the Lü family, and you usually act as the Lü family's eyes and ears, serving the Lü family with your lives."

"The Crown Prince's legitimate son, Prince Yunhu, has been suppressed and bullied by the Lü family for many years, but no one has reported or complained to the authorities."

"This is your crime."

"Your crime lies in the fact that you acted as the eyes and ears of the Lü clan."

"You are part of the gang that bullies the eldest son."

Jiang Huan spoke coldly, showing no mercy whatsoever.

For them, knowing the truth is the greatest comfort.

The Emperor has already issued the decree.

None of them will escape.

After hearing Jiang Huan's words...

Some palace servants already knew that the Lü clan had fallen from power.

But what followed was an even greater sense of panic.

"Forgive me."

"I have been wronged."

"Forgive me."

"Please, Your Excellency, have mercy..."

The palace servants kowtowed repeatedly, begging to be spared by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

But the imperial edict had already been issued.

There is no way to change it.

“Take them all back to the Embroidered Uniform Guard prison.”

"Those who resist shall be executed on the spot," Jiang Huan coldly ordered.

"Yes."

The Imperial Guards swarmed forward.

They began to drive them away and escort them away.

Zhu Yunwen, protected by a group of guards, slowly arrived at this place, with Yunyu following beside him.

Standing on this high point in front of the palace, one can see the fear and helplessness of these palace servants, and their despair.

"In the past."

“You act as the Lü family’s henchmen and eyes and ears.”

"I am just as helpless, and I have no hope at all."

Zhu Yunwen stared at the terrified palace servants, muttering to himself.

this moment.

He seemed to have a sense of revenge, as all the servants who had oppressed him in the past had been wiped out in one fell swoop.

"Son."

"According to the list, they have all been caught in one fell swoop."

Jiang Huan walked up to Zhu Yunwen and respectfully reported.

"Thank you for your help, Commander Jiang Huan."

"Once they're brought back to the Embroidered Uniform Guard, it's no longer my concern. In short, we must eradicate evil completely," Zhu Yunwen said coldly.

today.

Zhu Yunwen truly possessed the dignity befitting a prince.

“Your Majesty, I understand,” Jiang Huan replied immediately.

And aside.

They watched in despair and terror as these palace servants were taken away.

Yunyu also felt as if she had lived through another world.

It took less than a day.

The Eastern Palace has changed.

but.

Yunyu was also a little nervous at this moment.

Faced with such imperial decree, she was just a lowly palace maid, and even after so many years, she remained just a lowly palace maid.

Seeing Yunyu's nervousness, Zhu Yunyu smiled slightly and took Yunyu's hand: "Sister Yunyu."

"This is the confidence my elder brother gave me."

“I did not disappoint my elder brother. I brought down the Lü family and massacred the Crown Prince.”

This sound.

With Zhu Yunwen's absolute trust in Yunyu.

If it weren't for Yunyu's companionship all these years, Zhu Yunwen doesn't know if he would have survived to this day; he simply couldn't have endured it.

It can be said.

Yunyu is the most important person to me besides my eldest brother.

"kindness."

Sensing Zhu Yuntong's confidence, Yunyu nodded. Although she was apprehensive, she had complete faith in Zhu Yuntong.

"Master Yunxun."

"Now that everyone has been captured, I will return to the palace to report to the Emperor and the Crown Prince."

As for the Lü family.

"I will leave ten Imperial Guards to guard the area," Jiang Huan said respectfully to Zhu Yunwen.

"kindness."

Zhu Yunwen nodded: "Thank you for your trouble." Then...

Jiang Huan then led a group of Imperial Guards away from the Eastern Palace.

After several hundred palace servants were escorted out, the entire East Palace became much quieter and emptier.

but.

The Eastern Palace underwent a change of power.

Compared to before.

Zhu Yunwen will also possess the true power that belongs to his legitimate son.

The scene was quite lively as a large number of palace servants were escorted out of the East Palace.

This also attracted the attention of the imperial guards within the palace, as well as the officials coming and going.

The palace!

The main hall of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Jiang Huan returned to report.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"I am fortunate to have fulfilled my mission."

"We have arrested all the palace servants that Lady Lü arranged to enter the Eastern Palace through the roster, and they have all been transferred to the Embroidered Uniform Guard prison to await their fate," Jiang Huan reported respectfully, kneeling before Zhu Yuanzhang.

"How many people?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked directly.

"Return to the Emperor."

"The Eastern Palace has 538 palace servants, of whom nearly 500 were arranged by Lady Lü. Lady Lü's spies are everywhere in the Eastern Palace," Jiang Huan replied respectfully.

Hear this number.

A cold glint appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face: "Good, truly good."

"It would be really strange if this woman had no ulterior motives."

"Of the more than 500 palace servants, nearly 500 were arranged by her."

"With such methods, the Crown Prince's palace is full of spies. No wonder you, Biao'er, have no idea about Yun Tong's situation."

"This woman, I really underestimated her," Zhu Yuanzhang sneered.

If the Lü family hadn't been so obvious, it might have been understandable, but the fact that they had planted so many people meant it was definitely not simple.

"It's all because my son misjudged people."

"I never imagined that over the years, without anyone noticing, the Crown Prince's Palace would be controlled by her to this extent."

"No wonder Consort Chen and the others dared not speak out against their anger."

"The entire Eastern Palace is her eyes and ears; who would dare offend her?" Zhu Biao said with a hint of anger.

"All right."

"There's no need to bring this up again."

"Once these people are dealt with, the Eastern Palace will naturally be able to return to its former state." Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand, not wanting to see Zhu Biao's self-reproach and regret.

Followed.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Yun Qi.

"How are the arrangements for the palace servants going?"

"Return to the Emperor."

"This old servant has already selected six hundred suitable palace maids in the palace, and they can begin working in the East Palace today," Yun Qi replied respectfully.

"That's good." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

"Jiang Huan".

"Those palace servants have all been imprisoned. There's no need to make too much of a fuss about this. Just handle it with the Embroidered Uniform Guard," Zhu Yuanzhang said to Jiang Huan.

Obviously.

It's best not to publicize such scandalous affairs of the royal family.

If the declaration were to be issued and handed over to the Ministry of Justice for handling, it would cause a great uproar throughout the city.

Within the Embroidered Uniform Guard, this allows them to suppress matters to the greatest extent possible.

"Your subject obeys the decree," Jiang Huan replied respectfully.

"Go."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

"This old servant has also gone to arrange for the palace servants to enter the East Palace." Yun Qi bowed and then followed him out.

After the two left.

"Biao'er."

"This time, we're being more cautious."

"Among these palace servants, we have arranged for more than a dozen Imperial Guards to be on the lookout for us. From now on, nothing that happens in the Eastern Palace will escape our and your eyes," Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Biao, showing his honesty towards his son.

In this regard.

In the past, Zhu Biao would definitely have been angry.

He didn't want his Eastern Palace to be under the surveillance of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but after this incident, Zhu Biao's mindset had changed.

"Father, you did the right thing."

“My son doesn’t want to go through this again.”

“If these people are so hypocritical even under their son’s nose, let alone when they are far from his sight, the existence of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is justified.”

"Your son apologizes to you, Father, for my previous naiveté."

“When my son takes charge of the government in the future, he will certainly not have the intention of abolishing the Embroidered Uniform Guard again,” Zhu Biao said very seriously.

Hear this.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with great satisfaction: "The existence of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is naturally reasonable. They are the eyes, the eyes that observe the world."

"Biao'er, you've truly come to understand the usefulness of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and that's worth it."

……

outer.

"Commander Jiang, congratulations."

Yun Qi smiled and suddenly said to Jiang Huan.

"What's the joy about?" Jiang Huan asked, puzzled.

"From now on."

"Experiencing this."

"His Highness the Crown Prince will no longer dislike the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

“Your future is even brighter, shouldn’t we congratulate you?” Yun Qi said with a smile.

Hear the words.

Jiang Huan was indeed pleased and immediately said, "Thank you, Chief Steward Yun. It is a blessing for the Embroidered Uniform Guard that His Highness the Crown Prince has recognized its authority."

Because Zhu Biao disliked the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Jiang Huan had thought about what his future would be like more than once.

He did so many underhanded things for Zhu Yuanzhang, and killed countless corrupt officials.

Once the emperor's favor is lost, one can imagine how terrible the consequences will be.

Even though Zhu Biao was kind and benevolent, without the special privileges granted by the emperor, he would be reassigned to a new position, and his future would be very bleak.

but now.

After today's events at the Eastern Palace, Zhu Biao will also pay more attention to the Embroidered Uniform Guard, which is naturally a great thing for Jiang Huan and his brothers in the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"The Imperial Palace."

"It's still the same palace as it was more than a decade ago."

"Perhaps he will return soon." Yun Qi looked up at the sky and murmured, a profound meaning on his old face.

Jiang Huan naturally understood the meaning behind Yun Qi's words.

"Yes!"

Who could have predicted this?

"future."

"In the end, it still belongs to that person."

"Perhaps this is just a case of good fortune coming your way," Jiang Huan echoed with a smile.

……

The Marquis of Champion's Residence!

"Lord."

"I just received some news from the palace that I'm sure you'll find very interesting."

Liu Lei walked quickly to Zhu Ying's room with a smile on his face.

"What could possibly happen inside the palace?" Zhu Ying looked up and asked, puzzled.

"This news came from our restaurant, and it's still confidential; it hasn't spread."

"It is said that something bad has happened at the Crown Prince's Palace, and it's a big one."

"The Lü family, who originally controlled the Eastern Palace and was the Crown Prince's most favored concubine, has now been stripped of her title and banished to the Cold Palace."

"Moreover, eight or nine out of ten palace servants in the Eastern Palace have been arrested by the Embroidered Uniform Guard and imprisoned in their jails. They are all probably going to die."

"This incident at the Eastern Palace is quite significant," Liu Lei reported to Zhu Ying with a look of excitement.

Hear this.

Zhu Ying's expression changed slightly, and he was quite surprised: "You said that Lady Lü was banished to the Cold Palace? And all the palace servants in the Eastern Palace were arrested by the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

"Are you sure this is true?"

"Not a rumor?"

Obviously.

Zhu Ying genuinely found it hard to believe.

Historical records.

Lady Lü was the one who had the last laugh; her son was Emperor Jianwen in history.

He inherited the throne of the Ming Dynasty.

After Zhu Biao's death, he was made the Crown Prince.

Ultimately, it was because the eldest son, Zhu Yunwen, was too disappointing.

But what's going on now?
Lady Lü was stripped of her title as a concubine and banished to the Cold Palace.

How come this is different from historical records?

What? Is there really such a big historical discrepancy?
