Chapter 422: Degenerate into a Beast

The capital has not experienced peace and peace for some days. Since the Navy of Xia Tang was completely wiped out, the tension in the capital was immediately greatly alleviated. From the emperor to the people, there was finally a chance to breathe. Especially a few days ago, Bingzhou and Huazhou completed basic city defenses. With these two cities in their defense, the capital finally did not have to face the enemies who were going up the river directly.

This day is a common day for court attendance. According to court regulations, officials must get up at the fifth hour to wash and prepare to go out. The residence of the Minister of Works began to be brightly lit before the fifth hour. The servants went back and forth to clean up and organize the master to go out on time to get into the sedan chair.

The wife of the Shangshu naturally got up earlier than the Minister of Works Yu Chong. In order to give the master more rest, she always thoughtfully got up early and arranged various things at home and then woke up Yu Chong after the time.

"Master is getting up." The lady continued to urge her to the motionless bed while unfolding her court suit. "Master's time is here, so you can't delay it. Get up quickly."

After several urgings, there was finally some movement on the bed. When the lady came to the bed, she saw Yu Chong’s face pale, and she couldn’t help but worry, “Master, are you feeling uncomfortable?”

Yu Chong was stunned for a while and then turned his head with difficulty. His eyes were fixed on his wife, making his whole body look furrowed, but he just didn't say anything, and then turned his head away.

"master?"

Yu Chong pushed his wife away and suddenly stood up from the edge of the bed, walked to the clothes hanger and started to put on his own clothes. The wife wanted to go forward to help, but she became more and more worried when she saw Yu Chong's stiff movements.

"Master, where are you feeling uncomfortable? Are you talking?"

But Yu Chong turned a blind eye, put on his clothes and walked outside. The lady hurriedly followed behind her. She tried to help her for several times, but was pushed away by Yu Chong. Yu Chong didn't enter the front hall and walked outside the mansion.

"Master, don't you have to thank the breakfast? Master, fill in some stomachs, Master!"

Yu Chong did not react at all, and without blinking, he walked towards the sedan parked outside the mansion step by step. He pushed away the servant who was coming forward to support the car, then jumped into the sedan with his feet and hurriedly. Before the servant could react, he hid in the sedan.

The servant was at a loss and looked back at the lady. The lady looked frightened, but seeing that it was getting late and she could not delay so much. She could only wave her hand and let the sedan chair move. When the sedan chair disappeared from the corner of the street, tears clearly spread in her eyes.

Like Yu Chong, all the ministers went to court at this time. The lights surged out of the streets and gathered together, and were arranged automatically according to the size of the official title, and finally formed a lantern dragon and headed towards the imperial city in an orderly manner.

When this lantern dragon entered the imperial city, it began to turn white in the sky. After passing Chengtian Gate, all officials could no longer ride in sedan chairs and had to walk all the way down the ground. This is the rule of the imperial city. No one has been exception since the New Dynasty.

The ministers got out of the sedan chair one after another, and from then on some unusual things were reflected. Most of the ministers were normal. Speaking of normal means that their behavior was in line with the usual situation, but some were a little strange. Their movements seemed a little stiff. Every time they raised their hands and stepped on their legs, it seemed very difficult. Moreover, these ministers ignored other colleagues at all, although the court rules that they were not allowed to follow after entering the imperial city.

I was interested in chatting, but it was common for me to meet each other and nodded or greeted each other.

Facing the greetings of his colleagues, the ministers like Yu Chong did not react at all. They all walked in the team with a calm face. Because the Tang people were rewarded by the Tang Dynasty for their merits in reminding the city last time, Jiang Weizhen was also commended by the court and promoted to the sixth rank of the Ministry of Revenue Examination, and he also got the opportunity to go to court. This is his third time to go to court. The freshness and tension have not completely disappeared. Jiang Weizhen originally planned to abide by his duties, but along the way, he still had to pay attention to the abnormalities of several ministers around him.

What is the abnormality? Jiang Weizhen couldn't say it. He forced himself to focus on the court. After all, this is a very serious matter. No flaw can happen when he went to court. Otherwise, it would be a very serious death. At the very least, he was dismissed on the spot, and at the worst, he was killed by a stick. Jiang Weizhen once heard people mention that two ministers had a long time ago in the previous dynasty. Once, when he went to court, the two had conflicts again and became more and more intense. Finally, they got into the court. Emperor Liang was angry and dragged the two out of Chengtian Gate to death, and all three tribes were imprisoned.

Jiang Weizhen withdrew his gaze and forced himself to take every step. There was nothing to be picky about in the court. It was not easy for such a small official, and those high-ranking officials could be more relaxed, such as Cai Quan, Shen Qianji and the current prince consort.

When all the ministers were in place, Emperor Liang walked into the Mingyuan Palace with a grandiosity under the guidance of his personal eunuch, waved his dragon robe and sat down on the dragon throne solemnly and seriously. Then Emperor Liang's ears began to resound with the congratulations of "Long Live My Emperor". He had been going through this kind of thing for more than a year, but he had not experienced it enough. This feeling of looking down on the world is really addictive, and it is an addiction that cannot be quit in his life.

Emperor Liang raised his arm gently, and the ministers immediately stood up. Everyone bent, and no one dared to look up at the emperor. This was the rule of the Liang Dynasty. Emperor Liang still used to look at these ministers crawling at his feet, but this time he had a different experience. This was something that had never happened since he inherited the throne.

There were actually several ministers looking up and meeting the eyes of Emperor Liang! This was a taboo! Emperor Liang could directly let the imperial guards come in and drag these ministers out, but this time Emperor Liang did not do this. He found that the ministers were very pale, and at the same time he recognized the identities of these ministers at the first time, including Yu Chong, Minister of Works.

"Yu Aiqing, what's wrong with you today? Have you even forgotten this basic palace ceremony?" Emperor Liang finally planned to remind him that it was the time to use people, and he was the Secretary of the Six Ministry, so he planned to criticize him.

Who knew that after Emperor Liang pointed out this, Yu Chong not only did not restrain himself, but left the queue without reporting, and walked towards Emperor Liang alone in difficult and stiff steps.

"Bold!" The personal eunuch stood up and shouted loudly, "Mr. Yu, you are disobeying the emperor's order!"

With this shout, all the ministers noticed the abnormality, and everyone's eyes gathered on Yu Chong. Just as the ministers were surprised, Yu Chong walked towards Emperor Liang step by step, without any expression on his face, and at the same time he did not blink. This scene was a bit creepy. In order to protect the emperor, the eunuch hurriedly ran down to block Yu Chong's way and shouted loudly again.

It finally worked. Yu Chong did not move forward anymore, but instead shifted his eyes from Emperor Liang to the inner servant

The eunuch on his body was a little furious when Yu Chong stared at him, so he had to remind him again, naturally, and it was useless. The eunuch turned around and looked at Emperor Liang helplessly. Emperor Liang was also stunned by this strange scene. No matter how he looked at him, he looked like a dead person, with a pale face and a chaotic look.

Jiang Weizhen also looked up at the direction of the dragon throne. He suddenly found that a minister beside him began to move unconsciously at this moment, and walked out of the queue and stared at Emperor Liang like Yu Chong. Jiang Weizhen could see clearly. He found that the minister was like a puppet, his hands and feet were stirred up. The person behind the scenes moved the minister and moved it. Every action was very inconsistent with ordinary people.

Not only this minister, but several ministers walked in a fixed direction with no expression on their faces. Now the court began to stir up, and the ministers no longer had the intention to care about the court's etiquette anymore. They looked at the ministers nervously, watching them getting closer and closer.

The eunuch was anxious, and he didn't understand what was wrong with these ministers today. They were all so weird. He had the responsibility to protect the emperor. He must not let the court rules be destroyed. As he said that, he went forward to stop the ministers.

Standing at the forefront of Emperor Liang, Cai Quan and Yan Keran and Shen Qianji on the opposite side, they witnessed the whole process. With their knowledge, it was difficult to explain what was going on. Yan Keran was also the Imperial Guard. He wanted to go forward to help, but his body moved and was stopped by Shen Qianji.

Yan Keran looked back at Shen Qianji, but Shen Qianji said nothing, just shook his head. Just as Yan Keran looked at Yu Chong again, Yu Chong's eyes suddenly changed, what they had become. Yan Keran couldn't describe it at that time, but when he recalled it, he could only describe it as "killing aura".

Yu Chong rushed forward and bit the eunuch's throat. This scene happened too suddenly and no one was prepared. Emperor Liang was so scared that he almost fell off the dragon throne. If it weren't for the help of two other eunuchs, he would have rolled down from the imperial platform.

The eunuch fell to the ground before he could shout. Yu Chong's eyes turned red. He seemed to have turned into a wild beast, a hungry beast. In his eyes, there was only prey. He treated the eunuch as prey. He would not let go after biting this bite. No matter how the eunuch struggled, it would be useless.

The ministers were in a rage and avoided the two sides. Some timids even fell to the spot and could not move at all. After such a noisy, the ministers like Yu Chong also began to become active, rushed towards their colleagues around them, and bit them. The ministers who were slumped on the ground were the first to be victims.

"Come!"

At the critical moment, Shen Qianji reacted the fastest. He retreated and shouted loudly. It was his voice that the imperial guards outside rushed into the palace and went forward to pull the crazy ministers.

Yan Keran saw the eunuch stop struggling, blood splattered all over the ground, and finally swallowed, but Yu Chong refused to let go and kept biting her tightly. At the same time, her head began to sway back and forth, like those beasts in the forest.

Fear, inexplicable fear, this is the first time Yan Keran has felt fear in his life. He had anxiety and uneasiness in his heart against any enemy before, but he had absolutely no fear, because those are living people, a war that can be explained by common sense, and everything that happened in front of him was beyond his understanding.
