It was dawn, and the news of the emperor's sudden death spread throughout Luodu like wildfire. The officials of more than 2,000 stones left in the capital rushed to the Honglu Temple in the palace and were even more busy. Not only did they report the news of the emperor's death to all the princes and princes, but they also sent special envoys to Qin, Tang, Jin, and Song countries to report their demise.
There are not many princes in the capital. At present, except for King Dingtao, only Prince Liu Jian, the Prince of Jiangdu, who was still in Beijing to report his demise, rushed to the Jiangdu royal residence, but lost. The owner of the royal residence told him that Liu Jian had already entered the palace two hours ago and was puzzled, but he did not dare to ask more questions. He hurriedly ran to the next royal residence.
Ao Run came out of Honglu Temple and drove straight to the business world without stopping. He arrived in just over a minute.
When turning into the alley, Ao Run did not slow down at all. He only tightened his arms and shouted twice in his mouth. He flew around and turned around. He rushed into the alley with a speed that Ao Run Chong was so fierce that the carriage was tilted, and the wheels on one side were suspended, and the wheels wrapped in iron splashed a string of Mars on the bluestone slab.
Ao Run used a thousand-pound pendant, his body sank, pressed the tilted carriage down and went to the door. He retracted his arms, the horse stood up, and slipped halfway under the inertia of the carriage before he could barely stop.
Ao Run jumped out of the car and rushed into the yard. Qin Hui, Ban Chao and others had been waiting in the outer yard for a long time, and quickly came up. What's the situation?
Confirm! Ao Run gasped and said: The emperor passed away last night! The funeral is currently presided over by the Grand Sima
Ban Chao said: Where is the lord?
Ao Run's face twitched, and she gritted her teeth and said: Zhaoyang Palace has been sealed, but it has not come out inside.
Oops!
Qin Hui said: What is the situation in the palace?
There was no movement at all. Ao Run said: Since last night, the palace has been allowed to enter and not leave, and no news can be heard. Except for a few guards who looked familiar, everything else is a bit unfair
Ban Chao said: What is the cause of the emperor's death?
The news from Honglu Temple only said that it was due to illness and did not know anything else.
Ban Chao said regretfully: The Lu family succeeded!
Qin Hui quickly twisted his fingers, his eyes rolled around, and after a moment, he said: The most important thing now is to contact the palace first and make sure that the lord is safe, you go and invite Master Si and Master Lu Wu.
Wu Sangui responded and went to find Qi Mingxin and Lu Jing.
Lao Kuang, go and inform the Yun family and let the left-behind people go to Shangqingguan for a while. Qin Hui said and looked at Wang Hui, go and see the eldest lady, first, ask Zhuo Jiaoyu to come over, second, let’s inform the Luo Gang He Dazhuo, everything you need to prepare is ready.
Wang Hui knew that he was arranging a retreat, so she nodded slightly
Qin Hui turned around and said: You can arrange it on Cheng Zheng. Money is a small matter. Please settle the person first.
Ban Chao said: Where are Mr. Zhao and Master Tao Wu?
Please send them a letter and be careful. Qin Hui looked at the sky. The sky had changed. I was afraid there would be chaos behind... For other things, I could only make a decision when the head of the family came back.
…………………………
There were chaos everywhere in Zhaoyang Palace, and ministers kept coming Lu Ji's face became increasingly ugly. He thought that the emperor had passed away and all the problems would be solved, but he did not expect that he would be overwhelmed by a bunch of trivial matters when he was planning, he only focused on major events, and no one paid attention to the funeral. As a result, everything was piled up on him, the great sarma who presided over the funeral.
At present, we have to arrange seats for the ministers who attend the funeral, collect sacrifices, arrange mahjong, and solve doubts with great care and comfort. We have not arranged to do it yet, and we have found that there are insufficient items for the funeral. It is not surprising that the emperor is in full swing in the spring and autumn, and no one has ever thought of preparing for the funeral.
The incident was reported one by one, which made Lu Ji feel upset and finally arranged it. Finally, even the matter of being arranged was reported to him. Lu Ji couldn't bear it anymore and was about to scold him, but found that dozens of eunuchs were busy running around, but there was no idle person.
This matter still needs an old guy like Huo Zimeng to do it... Lu Ji muttered in his heart, but he still couldn't help Huo Zimeng's help after all
Such small things are also coming! Lu Ji said: Set up a few curtains behind the hall to make
Flowers and plants planted by the palace...
Shoveled!
yes
The eunuch stepped down when he heard the sound. When Lu Ji looked up, he found a group of people surrounding Prime Minister Wei Xuancheng and said something.
Lu Ji frowned and called the eunuch next to him to see what was going on.
Soon, the eunuch trotted back, and was an envoy from the Tang and Qin states...
The six dynasties all had envoys from each other and treated each other with the courtesy of the state guests. The emperor passed away. It was common sense that these envoys came to pay tribute to the sacrifice after receiving the news, but the eunuch's next words shocked Lu Ji.
...They are asking about the successor
Lu Ji's eyes twitched a few times, then strode over,
An envoy said: The emperor's son is in a panic, and it will be a mess for these few days.
Another envoy said: You have been worried that once the new king succeeds to the throne, people's hearts will naturally be stable.
The envoy looked at the chaos in the palace sarcastically, then frowned and looked worried. Unfortunately, the emperor had no descendants, so who would succeed the Grand Priest?
The Empress Dowager will decide on the matter of establishing an heir. Lu Ji said calmly: It won’t be a problem for you to worry about it.
The envoy bowed and smiled: Hong Mai, the envoy of the State of Song, has seen the great Sima Kingdom without a king for a day. If you are a big deal today, please make a decision.
Lu Ji snorted and was about to speak, but suddenly he found that in just a few words, dozens of people were surrounded by them. Everyone pricked up their ears and listened to the conversation between the two parties, and refused to miss a single word.
The situation of Lu Ji's silence was even worse. The envoy of the Tang Kingdom next to him said: Establishing a successor is the foundation of the country. It should be decided by the convening of ministers. How can the Empress Dowager decide by just one word?
Wei Xuancheng had to speak, and had to say: This is the family matter of the emperor, so you can wait for it.
Another envoy smiled and said: Of course, the affairs of your country have nothing to do with us. We are just asking, but Prime Minister Wei said that this is the family affairs of the emperor. The minister does not dare to agree with the emperor's selfless affairs, let alone such a major event?
As soon as this said, a sound of echoes suddenly echoed around him
These bastards who were gloating and fearing that the world would not be in chaos! Lu Ji cursed in his heart and brushed his sleeves heavily, asking the three dukes and nine ministers to discuss matters!
Lu Ji was originally planning to stabilize the situation and discuss the matter of establishing a heir, but now he was so excited by the envoys, and the ministers were filled with their hearts. The matter of establishing a heir was on the verge of being on the string and had to be fired.
Nong Ningcheng, the chief minister of the Ninth Minister, and Wulu Chongzong of the Shaofu was expelled. Now it is vacant. The other prime ministers Wei Xuancheng, the censor Zhang Tang, the general Huo Zimeng, the great Lu Che Qianqiu, the Zong Zheng Liu De, the Wei Wei Lu Lu and others are all in the palace and gather in the hall soon.
Lu Ji was too lazy to go around in circles, so he said directly: The emperor has passed away, and now the matter of establishing an heir is imminent, so I will discuss it. I will first take out the constitution. This embroidered envoy Jiang Chong will act safely. After we have always agreed, we will report to the empress dowager.
Huo Zimeng, Jin Midi, Zhang Tang and others didn't say anything
After a moment of silence in the hall, the Great Honglu Che Qianqiu spoke first. I wonder if anyone can choose now?
Jiang Chong said: Qiancheng Hou Liu Zhang is extremely smart and is the nephew of the late emperor by generation. It is natural to succeed the successor of the late emperor.
Jin Midi was about to speak, but someone said: Qian Chenghou is only eight years old, and it seems that something is wrong to inherit Dabao... the branch is also far away.
Everyone looked over, but it was Liu De, one of the nine ministers, who was a relative of the Han Dynasty and was in charge of the affairs of the royal family. He knew the Liu family very well.
Che Qianqiu Road: Although Qianchenghou is young, he is naturally intelligent and can be an alternative
Everyone talked about it for a few words, and decided to take the option
Jiang Chong continued: In the neighboring clan, Liu Zhi, the grandson of the King of Hejian, was fifteen years old. He was smart and capable, and had the power of an emperor.
Everyone's hearts are clear. Liu Zhang, who was mentioned first by Jiang Chong, was only eight years old. Once he succeeded to the throne, the empress dowager would have ruled behind the curtain for at least ten years. Jiang Chong continued to propose that Liu Zhinian was fifteen, which seemed to have taken a step back, but Liu Zhi was discussing the marriage. He married the daughter of the Lu family. If he succeeded to the throne, there would be another queen in the queen clan.
Zhang Tang said: The King of Qinghe Liu Lian is known for his virtues. He is calm and generous, and can be a country.
Among the princes and kings of Han, the Qinghe King was the most magnanimous and famous. He had known that someone would definitely have proposed the Qinghe King, but he didn't expect that Zhang Tang would speak out.
Jin Midi's Tao: Why not establish King Dingtao? The sage general King Dingtao was brought into the palace, and the intention of establishing a heir is obvious to us. We should follow the will of the emperor and establish King Dingtao as his heir.
Lu Ji was even more upset. If King Dingtao was established, it would not be the one who had left the curtain, but the Zhao family.
Jiang Chong evaded: This should be reported to the Queen Mother
Before Jiang Chong finished speaking, a loud noise came from outside. Get out of here. Get out of here!
Two eunuchs guarding the door were pushed into the hall by someone. Then a group of people stepped into Nei Lu Ji and looked at him. A fire broke out in his heart. This time, all the members of the Liu clan who were staying in the capital. The leader was Liu Jian, the prince of Jiangdu, in the past, in order to make an heir, Liu Jian often made a lot of sales in front of his sister. He was very polite when he was common. Unexpectedly, the emperor had just passed away, so he couldn't help but jump out.
Could it be that he thought that the emperor would be able to ascend the throne after he passed away? It was simply a dream!
Lu Ji said calmly: We are discussing matters here. As a prince, why are you trespassing?
Liu Jianran said aloofly: This is my family affairs of Liu, how can you and other secret rooms discuss it privately?
Lu Ji was furious and said: All the important officials in the court are there, how can the secret room discuss privately?
I dare to ask the Grand Sima, who is the one you plan to succeed? Do you dare to make it public?
Lu Ji said with a flash of arms: I don’t have to tell you!
When Jiang Chong saw that the words were wrong, he quickly said: There is nothing that cannot be said. The three people who are now discussing, Liu Zhang, the grandson of the King of Hejian, and Liu Rui, the King of Qinghe.
Huo Zimeng Dao: And Dingtao King Liu Xin
Even the child with yellow mouth can be selected. Liu Jian said loudly: As the prince of Jiangdu, isn’t I qualified to inherit the Dabao?
Jiang Chong reminded: Prince Jian is the same as the emperor, how can he succeed him?
What's wrong with brothers? Liu Jian sneered: Besides, before the emperor passed away, he had a lasting order and asked me to inherit the imperial career.
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall suddenly became an uproar, and Lu Ji changed his color and said nonsense! Where did the fate come from!
Liu Jian retorted: The Grand Sima was so sure, was it that the Grand Sima was present at that time?
Lu Ji couldn't help but be speechless
Huo Zimeng shouted: Prince Jian! Don’t speak nonsense!
Liu Jian said with a firm expression: Since I dare to say it in front of you, there is naturally evidence.
Zhang Tang said: What evidence?
Liu Jian's eyes swept over the ministers one by one, and then said: Before the emperor passed away last night, someone heard that the emperor placed the emperor in my place, Zhao Zhaoyi, could testify!
Zhang Tang frowned and said: Zhao Zhaoyi has committed suicide
Liu Jian was slightly stunned, then stared at Lu Ji with bright eyes, afraid that it was not because of suicide, but because he was silenced!
Lu Ji pointed at Liu Jian, you
Suddenly, Lu Ji felt a chill in his heart. He saw a ghostly figure flashing behind Liu Jian. He stepped beside him in just one step, then climbed onto his neck, raised his wrist and swung a bloody knife from his sleeve, and put it on the fat in his neck.
The man's movements were like lightning, almost as soon as his body moved, he controlled Lu Ji.
All the civil and military officials in the palace were stunned. The ministers were usually allowed to enter the palace and were not allowed to carry weapons. In the Han Palace, there has never been a scene where someone held a weapon to hold a minister in his hand. This shocking attack was made. Not to mention Lu Ji did not expect that even Huo Zimeng, who had lived for most of his life, was considered an eye-opener.
Suddenly, life and death were fucked by people, and Lu Ji was unable to fear, so he was knocked out of his mind by anger.
The Bank of China said! Lu Ji roared: You are so brave!
Bah! Zhongxing, wearing a black servant uniform, looked ferocious. He spat on Lu Ji's face with a mouthful of blood and said sharply: Say! Did the Lord kill you?
You swear!
The traitor! The voice of Zhonghang was sharp and thin, as sharp as an iron saw, if it weren't for you, why were you all in and outside the palace last night?
The incident in front of him caught all the ministers off guard. After a moment, Jiang Chong shouted: "Zhong Jian said! Let go of the Grand Sima!"
Zhang Yun shouted: Zhongxing said! It was you who colluded with Ju Yuan and others to kill the late emperor!
Zhang Yun! The Bank of China said and shouted: Tell me first, why did your eunuchs from Beigong come to our Nangong? Say!
Zhang Yun opened his mouth
The Bank of China said that he was narrow-minded and was in chaos at this time, and he was even more crazy. Seeing Zhang Yun hesitating, he raised his hand and waved his short knife, stabbed Lu Ji hard on his shoulder, and shouted at Zhang Yun: Say it quickly!
Lu Ji screamed, and then the Zhonghang said that he had strangled his neck and could not scream, but blood gushed out of the wound and immediately dyed the maroon red.
This scene not only made the ministers stunned, but even Liu Jian was stunned. He suddenly heard the news of the emperor's death and rushed to the palace. Unexpectedly, when the car entered the palace, he encountered an eunuch covered in blood, Liu Jian recognized that it was the close servant of the emperor, and said that he quickly took him into the car. As a result, the Zhongxing told him a shocking news: the emperor had a lasting destiny before his death, and he would inherit the throne. However, there were treacherous ministers in the court. Not only did he conceal the news from the outside, he also captured the insiders around the emperor and fought bloody battles and refused to surrender. He wanted to ask Liu Jian to enter the palace to kill the traitor, and uphold the last wish of the late emperor and ascend to the throne as emperor.
Liu Jian was ulterior motives. After hearing this, he was immediately stunned by the surprise. How could he care about whether the Bank of China said he was talking nonsense?
Of course, the theory of fate is false. Since the palace changed, the Zhongxingshuo said it was a pity. He knew that he would definitely be the word "death" when he fell into the hands of the Lu family, so he simply fought to the death. Even if he died, he would have to put on a few cushions. Even if he caused chaos in the world, he would make up a few words to deceive Liu Jian? As long as he could ruin the Lu family's affairs and fill all the princes of the Han Dynasty, he would not blink.
The two sides hit it off, so they broke into the palace. Unfortunately, Liu Jian was not familiar with the Bank of China. He didn't know that the Bank of China said that once it went crazy, even the emperor would not pee, and the king of Heaven was not good at speaking. He just wanted to do it according to his own wishes. The two of them had discussed it well. The Bank of China said to testify, and announced the emperor's will in front of the ministers, so as to win the support of the ministers. If you are lucky, you might as well as be able to ascend the throne on the spot. This kind of good thing like controlling the overall situation can be awakened by laughter.
Unexpectedly, the Bank of China said that he was running towards Lu Ji as soon as he came up. He said that he was ready to die and went forward. He completely cheated Liu Jian. Liu Jian was like borrowing a ladder and climbing halfway, but he was suddenly pulled away by someone. He was just hanging in the air, unable to move forward and retreat.
While hesitating, no one noticed that Lu Shu, the guard of the Nine Ministers, sneaked out quietly. He turned around and brought a group of soldiers to block the hall and said loudly: Don’t be arrogant! Let go of the Grand Sima!
The Bank of China said it was not idle either. While asking questions, it was stabbing Lu Ji several times, which didn't seem to ask the truth. It seemed like he was trying to get it to be happy. Where did Lu Ji encounter this? Even with fear and pain, his previous domineering and arrogance had long disappeared, just like a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered, with no power to resist. When the Bank of China said he stabbed, he screamed. Fortunately, the Bank of China said that he would only pick places with a lot of meat and not hurt the key points for the time being.
Liu Jian was sitting on wax, suddenly someone hit him behind his shoulder, something was added in his hand, and then a voice came from his ear
Liu Jian suddenly woke up with an expression of ecstasy on his face. After the man finished speaking, he immediately raised the things in his hand and shouted: The emperor's will is here!
As soon as the Huang Ling's edict appeared, it immediately stopped the audience. Even the Bank of China stopped and looked at Liu Jian's hand.
The edict was indeed a thing in the palace. The bright yellow silk was covered with ink marks, and only one sentence was written: The edict was located in Liu Jian, the Crown Prince of Jiangdu! It was very unfamiliar with the handwriting. It was not written by the emperor or the few edicts familiar to the ministers. However, the edict was marked after the edict, which was the supreme jade seal of the Han Dynasty!
The soldiers who had just entered the hall became hesitant and turned around and looked at Lu Shu.
Lu Shu opened her mouth wide and didn't come to her senses for a moment. Instead, Jiang Chong shouted: Fake! It's fake!
Of course, it is a fake minister in the hall. The handwriting on the edict is clearly written, and even the ink marks are not dry, but the seal on it is really no longer true!
Liu Jian was like a different person at this moment, and his thoughts were extremely clear. He raised the edict and shouted: "BOC said stop!" Let me go out with me first!
Liu Jian, a disciple who was mixed with his clan, surrounded him, protected the lord and the Zhongshang who had kidnapped Lu Ji in the middle, and rushed out of the palace.
Lu Shu shouted loudly, but Liu Jian held the edict in front, and the Bank of China said that it would hijack Lu Ji in the back, and the soldiers were afraid of their hands and feet, and they broke out of the hall without much stopping them.
There were more ministers outside paying homage. Liu Jian shouted loudly as he walked: You can see clearly! I ascend the throne by the order! If you punish traitors, you will reward thousands of gold! You will be granted the title of Marquis!
If Liu Jian only held the edict, even if Lu Shu didn't speak, Jiang Chong would have ordered someone to chop him up, but he would have kidnapped Lu Ji, who was the queen mother's brother. If he had to have a few good deeds, no matter how great his contributions were, he would not have a good ending.
Even though Jiang Chong was ruthless, he had no choice but to do anything at this time. Lu Shu was even more incapable of riding a tiger. He could only order the soldiers to drive away the ministers, while ordering people to shout in unison: Liu Jian, the Crown Prince of Jiangdu, kidnapped the Grand Sima, forged an edict to confuse people's hearts! The whole world punished him! He tried his best to suppress Liu Jian's shouting.
While not being able to catch the force, they were throwing the mouse and were afraid of weapons. The two sides were in a stalemate and tossed outside the palace gate. In the end, the man in black who had just handed Liu Jian the edict said a few words in the ears of the Bank of China. The Bank of China said that it would let go of the blood-covered Lu Ji, who was covered in blood, and took advantage of Lu Shu, Jiang Chong and others to rescue. A group of people broke through the siege and went straight to the south of the city.
The relatives of the Liu clan, Liu Jian's disciples, and the soldiers under the charge of Lu Shu all rushed out. There were only a few important officials in the hall. The chaos in front of him was like a farce. Even Huo Zimeng and Jin Midi, who were used to the strong winds and waves, opened their eyes and acted as if they were taking a risk this time. Liu Jian made a promiscuous edict and was brave enough to deal with it. It can be said that he was as stupid as a deer and pig.
This is... Huo Zimeng looked incredible. Has the jade seal been taken away?
Everyone knew that Lu Ji was incompetent, but it was incredible that he could not even watch the imperial seal. They didn't know that since last night, the palace was in chaos. Ju Yuan, who was in charge of the seal, was killed first. Lu Ji only cared about his own happiness and left this matter behind his head. Anyway, the entire Nangong was controlled by the Lu family. Can a jade seal still fly into the sky? But now the jade seal flew not only but also left a mark on a deadly will. Even if the edict is fake, with this seal, there will be five points of real.
Jin Midi said in a deep voice: Not only the jade seal, but I am afraid that even the tiger talisman is not in the palace.
There was a loud bang in everyone's mind. The military power of the Han Dynasty was all in the tiger talisman. The tiger talisman was usually divided into two. The left talisman was kept by the army and the right talisman was hidden in the court. Only by holding the talisman could the troops be mobilized. If Liu Jian got the jade seal and the tiger talisman, he could completely control the military power in a legitimate manner.
The Great Honglu Che Qianqiu could no longer sit still, and the Empress Dowager should be informed immediately!
Zhang Tang said silently. The Bank of China said that the emperor was killed just now. He heard more than the people present. Although Liu Jian was only the prince of Jiangdu, his power in the capital was incomparable to the Lu family, if he really swept away the jade seal, tiger talisman, and led troops into the palace, the situation would be unpredictable, and with the actions of Lu Ji, Lu Shu and others, he did not like Lu family from the bottom of his heart.
Huo Zimeng Ouch, holding his back with one hand, and said with difficulty: I am in a state of schizophrenia, and it is difficult to support me at this time... I can only sue myself first, forgive me for my sins. As he said, he put one hand on Jin Midi's arm, he said weakly: Help me
Jin Midi didn't move
Huo Zimeng suddenly became anxious and whispered: It would be too late if he didn't leave!
A word woke up the dreamer. If Liu Jian dispatched troops to attack, the Lü would definitely not sit still and wait for death. At that time, the palace would be the battlefield where both sides fought desperately. Staying here is a way to kill death. The ministers present were all active people, and they immediately scattered birds and beasts, looking for a way out.
In an instant, only Huo Zimeng and Jin Midi were left in the hall, Huo Zimeng no longer circled and said directly: No matter who wins or loses, you and I will not lose wealth, why should I leave this place to die?
Jin Midi said in a deep voice: The emperor's death is the fault that we have been waiting for now. How can we abandon the emperor and leave?
There is a queen mother in the palace!
The emperor has passed away and the queen is still there. When the ministers discuss, where can the queen be placed?
Do you want Baoding Tao King?
The lord of the emperor is not cold, so he cannot let the orphan and widowed mother be bullied
You Ah! Huo Zimeng turned around in anger and waved his hand last, forget it, I won’t tell you, I will leave all the people I brought to you, don’t do stupid things!
Jin Midi nodded slightly
Huo Zi Meng Feng left the hall with a fire. Half of the ministers guarding outside were missing. The rest were staring at the hall gate. Seeing him coming out, they immediately rushed forward and followed him.
Although Huo Zimeng retired in a low-key manner and made way for Lu Ji tactfully, he has been in power for many years and has always had prestige. Now his remaining power is still there, and many court officials still regard him as their backbone.
Huo Zimeng's face was as deep as water. He walked a few steps away from the hall without saying a word. Finally, he turned around and shouted: What are you doing with me! Do you have no errands!
When everyone heard this, they immediately understood and chaotic saluted Huo Zimeng. Then Zhang Yun, the leader of the eunuch, ran to take care of the injured Grand Sima. The remaining little yellow gate could not stop these ministers at all, so they could only watch them leave.
In a blink of an eye, the Dong Pavilion, which had just been crowded, became deserted, and only a few eunuchs were left looking at each other.
Just as he was at a loss, a figure flashed at the gate of the palace. A tall figure stepped out and said in a deep voice: Where is the Qimen?
An eunuch quickly bowed and returned to the general of the carriage. The emperor went to the big house. All the Qimen warriors who were accompanying him were locked in another courtyard.
Call them over, I have something to tell
…………………………
Cheng Zongyang sighed softly. He had long wanted to escape, but as time went by, more and more ministers arrived, and the entire Dong Pavilion was full. He couldn't leave even if he wanted to leave. Now it was a good opportunity. All the ministers were gone, and the soldiers under the command of the Weiwei also followed Lu Shu outside the palace. There were only a few eunuchs and a group of at a loss.
The concubines were crying in the inner hall where the Emperor's Spiritual Sleep was. They had no idea what was going on outside. They listened to the noise outside and quickly calmed down. They stopped crying one by one, showing a look of shock.
Cheng Zongyang gently let go of Zhao Hede, and said nothing
Zhao Hede curled up like a frightened deer, his jade face was bloodless
Cheng Zongyang climbed the wall of the caisson and looked down, then whistled softly
The poppy woman suddenly raised her head, a trace of sperm appeared in her eyes
She approached Zhao FeiYàn and whispered: I'll go out and take a look
Zhao Fei's eyes were red and swollen, and he nodded only after hearing this
The poppy girl came out of the curtain, but walked to the back of the hall. After a moment, she appeared in front of Cheng Zongyang.
She let out a long sigh and patted her chest with one hand and said: Master, I'm so scared that I thought you've already gone out
I can't stay here anymore, so I will send the queen back to Changqiu Palace immediately, lock the palace gate, and look forward to the portal
Master, what about you?
I'll go with you to get me a dress for an eunuch
Cheng Zongyang had just cleaned up and helped Zhao Hede down. Jin Midi had already entered the inner hall.
A few steps away from the concubines, Jin Midi stopped, leaned over and kowtowed to Zhao Fei Yàn, worshiped the grand ceremony, and then sang: Jin Midi, I beg the Queen to return to the palace
Zhao Fei had been kneeling for a long time, his legs were sore and numb. He was helped by the palace maid before he stood up. What happened outside?
Jin Midi said without any concealment: Prince Liu Jian of Jiangdu kidnapped the Grand Sima and wanted to ascend the throne with his will. He was driven away by the guard Lu Shu. He asked His Highness to move to Changqiu Palace.
Zhao Fei Yàn turned his head and looked at it, saying sadly: Where is the emperor's spiritual sleep?
The emperor's spiritual sleep should not be moved without permission, and the minister will order people to guard it
The poppy woman held Zhao FeiYàn's arm and whispered: Go back first
Zhao FeiYàn had to say to Jin Midi: So he said
The other concubines were panicked, Empress! Empress!
The poppy girl turned her head and said: Don’t make noise! Let’s go with the Empress! Whoever wants to make noise, stay here to keep a guard!
The girls immediately silenced
There are not many princes in the capital. At present, except for King Dingtao, only Prince Liu Jian, the Prince of Jiangdu, who was still in Beijing to report his demise, rushed to the Jiangdu royal residence, but lost. The owner of the royal residence told him that Liu Jian had already entered the palace two hours ago and was puzzled, but he did not dare to ask more questions. He hurriedly ran to the next royal residence.
Ao Run came out of Honglu Temple and drove straight to the business world without stopping. He arrived in just over a minute.
When turning into the alley, Ao Run did not slow down at all. He only tightened his arms and shouted twice in his mouth. He flew around and turned around. He rushed into the alley with a speed that Ao Run Chong was so fierce that the carriage was tilted, and the wheels on one side were suspended, and the wheels wrapped in iron splashed a string of Mars on the bluestone slab.
Ao Run used a thousand-pound pendant, his body sank, pressed the tilted carriage down and went to the door. He retracted his arms, the horse stood up, and slipped halfway under the inertia of the carriage before he could barely stop.
Ao Run jumped out of the car and rushed into the yard. Qin Hui, Ban Chao and others had been waiting in the outer yard for a long time, and quickly came up. What's the situation?
Confirm! Ao Run gasped and said: The emperor passed away last night! The funeral is currently presided over by the Grand Sima
Ban Chao said: Where is the lord?
Ao Run's face twitched, and she gritted her teeth and said: Zhaoyang Palace has been sealed, but it has not come out inside.
Oops!
Qin Hui said: What is the situation in the palace?
There was no movement at all. Ao Run said: Since last night, the palace has been allowed to enter and not leave, and no news can be heard. Except for a few guards who looked familiar, everything else is a bit unfair
Ban Chao said: What is the cause of the emperor's death?
The news from Honglu Temple only said that it was due to illness and did not know anything else.
Ban Chao said regretfully: The Lu family succeeded!
Qin Hui quickly twisted his fingers, his eyes rolled around, and after a moment, he said: The most important thing now is to contact the palace first and make sure that the lord is safe, you go and invite Master Si and Master Lu Wu.
Wu Sangui responded and went to find Qi Mingxin and Lu Jing.
Lao Kuang, go and inform the Yun family and let the left-behind people go to Shangqingguan for a while. Qin Hui said and looked at Wang Hui, go and see the eldest lady, first, ask Zhuo Jiaoyu to come over, second, let’s inform the Luo Gang He Dazhuo, everything you need to prepare is ready.
Wang Hui knew that he was arranging a retreat, so she nodded slightly
Qin Hui turned around and said: You can arrange it on Cheng Zheng. Money is a small matter. Please settle the person first.
Ban Chao said: Where are Mr. Zhao and Master Tao Wu?
Please send them a letter and be careful. Qin Hui looked at the sky. The sky had changed. I was afraid there would be chaos behind... For other things, I could only make a decision when the head of the family came back.
…………………………
There were chaos everywhere in Zhaoyang Palace, and ministers kept coming Lu Ji's face became increasingly ugly. He thought that the emperor had passed away and all the problems would be solved, but he did not expect that he would be overwhelmed by a bunch of trivial matters when he was planning, he only focused on major events, and no one paid attention to the funeral. As a result, everything was piled up on him, the great sarma who presided over the funeral.
At present, we have to arrange seats for the ministers who attend the funeral, collect sacrifices, arrange mahjong, and solve doubts with great care and comfort. We have not arranged to do it yet, and we have found that there are insufficient items for the funeral. It is not surprising that the emperor is in full swing in the spring and autumn, and no one has ever thought of preparing for the funeral.
The incident was reported one by one, which made Lu Ji feel upset and finally arranged it. Finally, even the matter of being arranged was reported to him. Lu Ji couldn't bear it anymore and was about to scold him, but found that dozens of eunuchs were busy running around, but there was no idle person.
This matter still needs an old guy like Huo Zimeng to do it... Lu Ji muttered in his heart, but he still couldn't help Huo Zimeng's help after all
Such small things are also coming! Lu Ji said: Set up a few curtains behind the hall to make
Flowers and plants planted by the palace...
Shoveled!
yes
The eunuch stepped down when he heard the sound. When Lu Ji looked up, he found a group of people surrounding Prime Minister Wei Xuancheng and said something.
Lu Ji frowned and called the eunuch next to him to see what was going on.
Soon, the eunuch trotted back, and was an envoy from the Tang and Qin states...
The six dynasties all had envoys from each other and treated each other with the courtesy of the state guests. The emperor passed away. It was common sense that these envoys came to pay tribute to the sacrifice after receiving the news, but the eunuch's next words shocked Lu Ji.
...They are asking about the successor
Lu Ji's eyes twitched a few times, then strode over,
An envoy said: The emperor's son is in a panic, and it will be a mess for these few days.
Another envoy said: You have been worried that once the new king succeeds to the throne, people's hearts will naturally be stable.
The envoy looked at the chaos in the palace sarcastically, then frowned and looked worried. Unfortunately, the emperor had no descendants, so who would succeed the Grand Priest?
The Empress Dowager will decide on the matter of establishing an heir. Lu Ji said calmly: It won’t be a problem for you to worry about it.
The envoy bowed and smiled: Hong Mai, the envoy of the State of Song, has seen the great Sima Kingdom without a king for a day. If you are a big deal today, please make a decision.
Lu Ji snorted and was about to speak, but suddenly he found that in just a few words, dozens of people were surrounded by them. Everyone pricked up their ears and listened to the conversation between the two parties, and refused to miss a single word.
The situation of Lu Ji's silence was even worse. The envoy of the Tang Kingdom next to him said: Establishing a successor is the foundation of the country. It should be decided by the convening of ministers. How can the Empress Dowager decide by just one word?
Wei Xuancheng had to speak, and had to say: This is the family matter of the emperor, so you can wait for it.
Another envoy smiled and said: Of course, the affairs of your country have nothing to do with us. We are just asking, but Prime Minister Wei said that this is the family affairs of the emperor. The minister does not dare to agree with the emperor's selfless affairs, let alone such a major event?
As soon as this said, a sound of echoes suddenly echoed around him
These bastards who were gloating and fearing that the world would not be in chaos! Lu Ji cursed in his heart and brushed his sleeves heavily, asking the three dukes and nine ministers to discuss matters!
Lu Ji was originally planning to stabilize the situation and discuss the matter of establishing a heir, but now he was so excited by the envoys, and the ministers were filled with their hearts. The matter of establishing a heir was on the verge of being on the string and had to be fired.
Nong Ningcheng, the chief minister of the Ninth Minister, and Wulu Chongzong of the Shaofu was expelled. Now it is vacant. The other prime ministers Wei Xuancheng, the censor Zhang Tang, the general Huo Zimeng, the great Lu Che Qianqiu, the Zong Zheng Liu De, the Wei Wei Lu Lu and others are all in the palace and gather in the hall soon.
Lu Ji was too lazy to go around in circles, so he said directly: The emperor has passed away, and now the matter of establishing an heir is imminent, so I will discuss it. I will first take out the constitution. This embroidered envoy Jiang Chong will act safely. After we have always agreed, we will report to the empress dowager.
Huo Zimeng, Jin Midi, Zhang Tang and others didn't say anything
After a moment of silence in the hall, the Great Honglu Che Qianqiu spoke first. I wonder if anyone can choose now?
Jiang Chong said: Qiancheng Hou Liu Zhang is extremely smart and is the nephew of the late emperor by generation. It is natural to succeed the successor of the late emperor.
Jin Midi was about to speak, but someone said: Qian Chenghou is only eight years old, and it seems that something is wrong to inherit Dabao... the branch is also far away.
Everyone looked over, but it was Liu De, one of the nine ministers, who was a relative of the Han Dynasty and was in charge of the affairs of the royal family. He knew the Liu family very well.
Che Qianqiu Road: Although Qianchenghou is young, he is naturally intelligent and can be an alternative
Everyone talked about it for a few words, and decided to take the option
Jiang Chong continued: In the neighboring clan, Liu Zhi, the grandson of the King of Hejian, was fifteen years old. He was smart and capable, and had the power of an emperor.
Everyone's hearts are clear. Liu Zhang, who was mentioned first by Jiang Chong, was only eight years old. Once he succeeded to the throne, the empress dowager would have ruled behind the curtain for at least ten years. Jiang Chong continued to propose that Liu Zhinian was fifteen, which seemed to have taken a step back, but Liu Zhi was discussing the marriage. He married the daughter of the Lu family. If he succeeded to the throne, there would be another queen in the queen clan.
Zhang Tang said: The King of Qinghe Liu Lian is known for his virtues. He is calm and generous, and can be a country.
Among the princes and kings of Han, the Qinghe King was the most magnanimous and famous. He had known that someone would definitely have proposed the Qinghe King, but he didn't expect that Zhang Tang would speak out.
Jin Midi's Tao: Why not establish King Dingtao? The sage general King Dingtao was brought into the palace, and the intention of establishing a heir is obvious to us. We should follow the will of the emperor and establish King Dingtao as his heir.
Lu Ji was even more upset. If King Dingtao was established, it would not be the one who had left the curtain, but the Zhao family.
Jiang Chong evaded: This should be reported to the Queen Mother
Before Jiang Chong finished speaking, a loud noise came from outside. Get out of here. Get out of here!
Two eunuchs guarding the door were pushed into the hall by someone. Then a group of people stepped into Nei Lu Ji and looked at him. A fire broke out in his heart. This time, all the members of the Liu clan who were staying in the capital. The leader was Liu Jian, the prince of Jiangdu, in the past, in order to make an heir, Liu Jian often made a lot of sales in front of his sister. He was very polite when he was common. Unexpectedly, the emperor had just passed away, so he couldn't help but jump out.
Could it be that he thought that the emperor would be able to ascend the throne after he passed away? It was simply a dream!
Lu Ji said calmly: We are discussing matters here. As a prince, why are you trespassing?
Liu Jianran said aloofly: This is my family affairs of Liu, how can you and other secret rooms discuss it privately?
Lu Ji was furious and said: All the important officials in the court are there, how can the secret room discuss privately?
I dare to ask the Grand Sima, who is the one you plan to succeed? Do you dare to make it public?
Lu Ji said with a flash of arms: I don’t have to tell you!
When Jiang Chong saw that the words were wrong, he quickly said: There is nothing that cannot be said. The three people who are now discussing, Liu Zhang, the grandson of the King of Hejian, and Liu Rui, the King of Qinghe.
Huo Zimeng Dao: And Dingtao King Liu Xin
Even the child with yellow mouth can be selected. Liu Jian said loudly: As the prince of Jiangdu, isn’t I qualified to inherit the Dabao?
Jiang Chong reminded: Prince Jian is the same as the emperor, how can he succeed him?
What's wrong with brothers? Liu Jian sneered: Besides, before the emperor passed away, he had a lasting order and asked me to inherit the imperial career.
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall suddenly became an uproar, and Lu Ji changed his color and said nonsense! Where did the fate come from!
Liu Jian retorted: The Grand Sima was so sure, was it that the Grand Sima was present at that time?
Lu Ji couldn't help but be speechless
Huo Zimeng shouted: Prince Jian! Don’t speak nonsense!
Liu Jian said with a firm expression: Since I dare to say it in front of you, there is naturally evidence.
Zhang Tang said: What evidence?
Liu Jian's eyes swept over the ministers one by one, and then said: Before the emperor passed away last night, someone heard that the emperor placed the emperor in my place, Zhao Zhaoyi, could testify!
Zhang Tang frowned and said: Zhao Zhaoyi has committed suicide
Liu Jian was slightly stunned, then stared at Lu Ji with bright eyes, afraid that it was not because of suicide, but because he was silenced!
Lu Ji pointed at Liu Jian, you
Suddenly, Lu Ji felt a chill in his heart. He saw a ghostly figure flashing behind Liu Jian. He stepped beside him in just one step, then climbed onto his neck, raised his wrist and swung a bloody knife from his sleeve, and put it on the fat in his neck.
The man's movements were like lightning, almost as soon as his body moved, he controlled Lu Ji.
All the civil and military officials in the palace were stunned. The ministers were usually allowed to enter the palace and were not allowed to carry weapons. In the Han Palace, there has never been a scene where someone held a weapon to hold a minister in his hand. This shocking attack was made. Not to mention Lu Ji did not expect that even Huo Zimeng, who had lived for most of his life, was considered an eye-opener.
Suddenly, life and death were fucked by people, and Lu Ji was unable to fear, so he was knocked out of his mind by anger.
The Bank of China said! Lu Ji roared: You are so brave!
Bah! Zhongxing, wearing a black servant uniform, looked ferocious. He spat on Lu Ji's face with a mouthful of blood and said sharply: Say! Did the Lord kill you?
You swear!
The traitor! The voice of Zhonghang was sharp and thin, as sharp as an iron saw, if it weren't for you, why were you all in and outside the palace last night?
The incident in front of him caught all the ministers off guard. After a moment, Jiang Chong shouted: "Zhong Jian said! Let go of the Grand Sima!"
Zhang Yun shouted: Zhongxing said! It was you who colluded with Ju Yuan and others to kill the late emperor!
Zhang Yun! The Bank of China said and shouted: Tell me first, why did your eunuchs from Beigong come to our Nangong? Say!
Zhang Yun opened his mouth
The Bank of China said that he was narrow-minded and was in chaos at this time, and he was even more crazy. Seeing Zhang Yun hesitating, he raised his hand and waved his short knife, stabbed Lu Ji hard on his shoulder, and shouted at Zhang Yun: Say it quickly!
Lu Ji screamed, and then the Zhonghang said that he had strangled his neck and could not scream, but blood gushed out of the wound and immediately dyed the maroon red.
This scene not only made the ministers stunned, but even Liu Jian was stunned. He suddenly heard the news of the emperor's death and rushed to the palace. Unexpectedly, when the car entered the palace, he encountered an eunuch covered in blood, Liu Jian recognized that it was the close servant of the emperor, and said that he quickly took him into the car. As a result, the Zhongxing told him a shocking news: the emperor had a lasting destiny before his death, and he would inherit the throne. However, there were treacherous ministers in the court. Not only did he conceal the news from the outside, he also captured the insiders around the emperor and fought bloody battles and refused to surrender. He wanted to ask Liu Jian to enter the palace to kill the traitor, and uphold the last wish of the late emperor and ascend to the throne as emperor.
Liu Jian was ulterior motives. After hearing this, he was immediately stunned by the surprise. How could he care about whether the Bank of China said he was talking nonsense?
Of course, the theory of fate is false. Since the palace changed, the Zhongxingshuo said it was a pity. He knew that he would definitely be the word "death" when he fell into the hands of the Lu family, so he simply fought to the death. Even if he died, he would have to put on a few cushions. Even if he caused chaos in the world, he would make up a few words to deceive Liu Jian? As long as he could ruin the Lu family's affairs and fill all the princes of the Han Dynasty, he would not blink.
The two sides hit it off, so they broke into the palace. Unfortunately, Liu Jian was not familiar with the Bank of China. He didn't know that the Bank of China said that once it went crazy, even the emperor would not pee, and the king of Heaven was not good at speaking. He just wanted to do it according to his own wishes. The two of them had discussed it well. The Bank of China said to testify, and announced the emperor's will in front of the ministers, so as to win the support of the ministers. If you are lucky, you might as well as be able to ascend the throne on the spot. This kind of good thing like controlling the overall situation can be awakened by laughter.
Unexpectedly, the Bank of China said that he was running towards Lu Ji as soon as he came up. He said that he was ready to die and went forward. He completely cheated Liu Jian. Liu Jian was like borrowing a ladder and climbing halfway, but he was suddenly pulled away by someone. He was just hanging in the air, unable to move forward and retreat.
While hesitating, no one noticed that Lu Shu, the guard of the Nine Ministers, sneaked out quietly. He turned around and brought a group of soldiers to block the hall and said loudly: Don’t be arrogant! Let go of the Grand Sima!
The Bank of China said it was not idle either. While asking questions, it was stabbing Lu Ji several times, which didn't seem to ask the truth. It seemed like he was trying to get it to be happy. Where did Lu Ji encounter this? Even with fear and pain, his previous domineering and arrogance had long disappeared, just like a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered, with no power to resist. When the Bank of China said he stabbed, he screamed. Fortunately, the Bank of China said that he would only pick places with a lot of meat and not hurt the key points for the time being.
Liu Jian was sitting on wax, suddenly someone hit him behind his shoulder, something was added in his hand, and then a voice came from his ear
Liu Jian suddenly woke up with an expression of ecstasy on his face. After the man finished speaking, he immediately raised the things in his hand and shouted: The emperor's will is here!
As soon as the Huang Ling's edict appeared, it immediately stopped the audience. Even the Bank of China stopped and looked at Liu Jian's hand.
The edict was indeed a thing in the palace. The bright yellow silk was covered with ink marks, and only one sentence was written: The edict was located in Liu Jian, the Crown Prince of Jiangdu! It was very unfamiliar with the handwriting. It was not written by the emperor or the few edicts familiar to the ministers. However, the edict was marked after the edict, which was the supreme jade seal of the Han Dynasty!
The soldiers who had just entered the hall became hesitant and turned around and looked at Lu Shu.
Lu Shu opened her mouth wide and didn't come to her senses for a moment. Instead, Jiang Chong shouted: Fake! It's fake!
Of course, it is a fake minister in the hall. The handwriting on the edict is clearly written, and even the ink marks are not dry, but the seal on it is really no longer true!
Liu Jian was like a different person at this moment, and his thoughts were extremely clear. He raised the edict and shouted: "BOC said stop!" Let me go out with me first!
Liu Jian, a disciple who was mixed with his clan, surrounded him, protected the lord and the Zhongshang who had kidnapped Lu Ji in the middle, and rushed out of the palace.
Lu Shu shouted loudly, but Liu Jian held the edict in front, and the Bank of China said that it would hijack Lu Ji in the back, and the soldiers were afraid of their hands and feet, and they broke out of the hall without much stopping them.
There were more ministers outside paying homage. Liu Jian shouted loudly as he walked: You can see clearly! I ascend the throne by the order! If you punish traitors, you will reward thousands of gold! You will be granted the title of Marquis!
If Liu Jian only held the edict, even if Lu Shu didn't speak, Jiang Chong would have ordered someone to chop him up, but he would have kidnapped Lu Ji, who was the queen mother's brother. If he had to have a few good deeds, no matter how great his contributions were, he would not have a good ending.
Even though Jiang Chong was ruthless, he had no choice but to do anything at this time. Lu Shu was even more incapable of riding a tiger. He could only order the soldiers to drive away the ministers, while ordering people to shout in unison: Liu Jian, the Crown Prince of Jiangdu, kidnapped the Grand Sima, forged an edict to confuse people's hearts! The whole world punished him! He tried his best to suppress Liu Jian's shouting.
While not being able to catch the force, they were throwing the mouse and were afraid of weapons. The two sides were in a stalemate and tossed outside the palace gate. In the end, the man in black who had just handed Liu Jian the edict said a few words in the ears of the Bank of China. The Bank of China said that it would let go of the blood-covered Lu Ji, who was covered in blood, and took advantage of Lu Shu, Jiang Chong and others to rescue. A group of people broke through the siege and went straight to the south of the city.
The relatives of the Liu clan, Liu Jian's disciples, and the soldiers under the charge of Lu Shu all rushed out. There were only a few important officials in the hall. The chaos in front of him was like a farce. Even Huo Zimeng and Jin Midi, who were used to the strong winds and waves, opened their eyes and acted as if they were taking a risk this time. Liu Jian made a promiscuous edict and was brave enough to deal with it. It can be said that he was as stupid as a deer and pig.
This is... Huo Zimeng looked incredible. Has the jade seal been taken away?
Everyone knew that Lu Ji was incompetent, but it was incredible that he could not even watch the imperial seal. They didn't know that since last night, the palace was in chaos. Ju Yuan, who was in charge of the seal, was killed first. Lu Ji only cared about his own happiness and left this matter behind his head. Anyway, the entire Nangong was controlled by the Lu family. Can a jade seal still fly into the sky? But now the jade seal flew not only but also left a mark on a deadly will. Even if the edict is fake, with this seal, there will be five points of real.
Jin Midi said in a deep voice: Not only the jade seal, but I am afraid that even the tiger talisman is not in the palace.
There was a loud bang in everyone's mind. The military power of the Han Dynasty was all in the tiger talisman. The tiger talisman was usually divided into two. The left talisman was kept by the army and the right talisman was hidden in the court. Only by holding the talisman could the troops be mobilized. If Liu Jian got the jade seal and the tiger talisman, he could completely control the military power in a legitimate manner.
The Great Honglu Che Qianqiu could no longer sit still, and the Empress Dowager should be informed immediately!
Zhang Tang said silently. The Bank of China said that the emperor was killed just now. He heard more than the people present. Although Liu Jian was only the prince of Jiangdu, his power in the capital was incomparable to the Lu family, if he really swept away the jade seal, tiger talisman, and led troops into the palace, the situation would be unpredictable, and with the actions of Lu Ji, Lu Shu and others, he did not like Lu family from the bottom of his heart.
Huo Zimeng Ouch, holding his back with one hand, and said with difficulty: I am in a state of schizophrenia, and it is difficult to support me at this time... I can only sue myself first, forgive me for my sins. As he said, he put one hand on Jin Midi's arm, he said weakly: Help me
Jin Midi didn't move
Huo Zimeng suddenly became anxious and whispered: It would be too late if he didn't leave!
A word woke up the dreamer. If Liu Jian dispatched troops to attack, the Lü would definitely not sit still and wait for death. At that time, the palace would be the battlefield where both sides fought desperately. Staying here is a way to kill death. The ministers present were all active people, and they immediately scattered birds and beasts, looking for a way out.
In an instant, only Huo Zimeng and Jin Midi were left in the hall, Huo Zimeng no longer circled and said directly: No matter who wins or loses, you and I will not lose wealth, why should I leave this place to die?
Jin Midi said in a deep voice: The emperor's death is the fault that we have been waiting for now. How can we abandon the emperor and leave?
There is a queen mother in the palace!
The emperor has passed away and the queen is still there. When the ministers discuss, where can the queen be placed?
Do you want Baoding Tao King?
The lord of the emperor is not cold, so he cannot let the orphan and widowed mother be bullied
You Ah! Huo Zimeng turned around in anger and waved his hand last, forget it, I won’t tell you, I will leave all the people I brought to you, don’t do stupid things!
Jin Midi nodded slightly
Huo Zi Meng Feng left the hall with a fire. Half of the ministers guarding outside were missing. The rest were staring at the hall gate. Seeing him coming out, they immediately rushed forward and followed him.
Although Huo Zimeng retired in a low-key manner and made way for Lu Ji tactfully, he has been in power for many years and has always had prestige. Now his remaining power is still there, and many court officials still regard him as their backbone.
Huo Zimeng's face was as deep as water. He walked a few steps away from the hall without saying a word. Finally, he turned around and shouted: What are you doing with me! Do you have no errands!
When everyone heard this, they immediately understood and chaotic saluted Huo Zimeng. Then Zhang Yun, the leader of the eunuch, ran to take care of the injured Grand Sima. The remaining little yellow gate could not stop these ministers at all, so they could only watch them leave.
In a blink of an eye, the Dong Pavilion, which had just been crowded, became deserted, and only a few eunuchs were left looking at each other.
Just as he was at a loss, a figure flashed at the gate of the palace. A tall figure stepped out and said in a deep voice: Where is the Qimen?
An eunuch quickly bowed and returned to the general of the carriage. The emperor went to the big house. All the Qimen warriors who were accompanying him were locked in another courtyard.
Call them over, I have something to tell
…………………………
Cheng Zongyang sighed softly. He had long wanted to escape, but as time went by, more and more ministers arrived, and the entire Dong Pavilion was full. He couldn't leave even if he wanted to leave. Now it was a good opportunity. All the ministers were gone, and the soldiers under the command of the Weiwei also followed Lu Shu outside the palace. There were only a few eunuchs and a group of at a loss.
The concubines were crying in the inner hall where the Emperor's Spiritual Sleep was. They had no idea what was going on outside. They listened to the noise outside and quickly calmed down. They stopped crying one by one, showing a look of shock.
Cheng Zongyang gently let go of Zhao Hede, and said nothing
Zhao Hede curled up like a frightened deer, his jade face was bloodless
Cheng Zongyang climbed the wall of the caisson and looked down, then whistled softly
The poppy woman suddenly raised her head, a trace of sperm appeared in her eyes
She approached Zhao FeiYàn and whispered: I'll go out and take a look
Zhao Fei's eyes were red and swollen, and he nodded only after hearing this
The poppy girl came out of the curtain, but walked to the back of the hall. After a moment, she appeared in front of Cheng Zongyang.
She let out a long sigh and patted her chest with one hand and said: Master, I'm so scared that I thought you've already gone out
I can't stay here anymore, so I will send the queen back to Changqiu Palace immediately, lock the palace gate, and look forward to the portal
Master, what about you?
I'll go with you to get me a dress for an eunuch
Cheng Zongyang had just cleaned up and helped Zhao Hede down. Jin Midi had already entered the inner hall.
A few steps away from the concubines, Jin Midi stopped, leaned over and kowtowed to Zhao Fei Yàn, worshiped the grand ceremony, and then sang: Jin Midi, I beg the Queen to return to the palace
Zhao Fei had been kneeling for a long time, his legs were sore and numb. He was helped by the palace maid before he stood up. What happened outside?
Jin Midi said without any concealment: Prince Liu Jian of Jiangdu kidnapped the Grand Sima and wanted to ascend the throne with his will. He was driven away by the guard Lu Shu. He asked His Highness to move to Changqiu Palace.
Zhao Fei Yàn turned his head and looked at it, saying sadly: Where is the emperor's spiritual sleep?
The emperor's spiritual sleep should not be moved without permission, and the minister will order people to guard it
The poppy woman held Zhao FeiYàn's arm and whispered: Go back first
Zhao FeiYàn had to say to Jin Midi: So he said
The other concubines were panicked, Empress! Empress!
The poppy girl turned her head and said: Don’t make noise! Let’s go with the Empress! Whoever wants to make noise, stay here to keep a guard!
The girls immediately silenced
