Chapter 40 Preparation (4)
The city was in chaos, and the prince was young and embarrassed. The empress dowager, who had the greatest seniority, decided to determine external troubles first. Zhuang Zheng, the commander of the Imperial Guard, naturally could not disobey, but the empress dowager was the leader. At the same time, he ordered the generals of the two camps in the north and south to lead the rebellion into the city, and the military power was captured in his hands. Who would be the emperor at that time?
Xiao Quanmei imagined beautifully. Without Huo Lianjie, Xiao Yun lost the power of resistance and would inevitably be in chaos. He had no military power, no people, and was young. Why should he appease all officials? What should he fight against him?
Huo Lianjie, outside the palace wall, sat in the carriage and looked out the window through the thin gauze curtain. The vermilion palace wall was solemn and quiet, and it was probably not long before it would be stained with blood. He couldn't help but sigh. I'm afraid no one in the palace saw more blood than him, but who would believe that he really didn't want to see blood, especially in this place where he grew up.
The team left the city gate, and Huo Lianjie's three hundred guards were waiting for him there, and soon joined the team to go north together. Qi Yueran changed into the costumes of the guards of the royal palace and mixed them, riding a horse and carrying a helmet, which was like that.
Not long after the team was moving, Huo Lianjie waved her hand and asked her to enter the carriage to speak. Qi Yueran entered as he said, and the carriage was very spacious. Because it took a long time to walk along the way, the carriage was very comfortable to set up. Not only was the seat covered with thick cushions, but there were also a small table that could be disassembled, and a few books were also placed. Huo Lianjie didn't say anything, and he put his whole body on the backrest and closed his eyes to rest.
After waiting for a long time, Qi Yueran finally couldn't help asking, "What did you ask me to do?"
Lianjie Huo's eyes didn't open: "I see you feeling uncomfortable sitting on the horse's back, so I'll ask you to come in and feel comfortable for a while."
In this way, Qi Yueran's heart trembled. She really couldn't get used to riding a horse. After sitting for a while, her thighs were already hurting. She accepted his affection in her heart, but she didn't give in and said, "I originally wanted to learn riding a horse, but I was disturbed by you."
Huo Lianjie still leaned on the backrest with his eyes closed and laughed twice. "Hehe" said, "I'm obviously moved by me, but I don't recognize you. Are you a duck, and you're a stubborn person?"
Qi Yueran snorted, "Which eye is touched when you see me!"
"I saw both eyes."
"Nonsense, you obviously have your eyes closed!"
"Why are you staring at me? Otherwise, how do you know if I have opened my eyes? Do you like me and keep staring at me?"
Qi Yueran was shocked, opened her mouth, and was so shocked that she didn't say anything for a long time. She claimed that she had been rolling in the world for many years, and her face was no longer thin. Unexpectedly, the strong one had the best. She looked at him and said, "Lienjie Huo, what material is your face made of? I'm afraid it's invulnerable to swords and guns!"
Lianjie Huo: "You will know if you touch it."
"Puff" Qi Yueran almost vomited blood. She had always been strong, but at this time she admitted that she was shameless and she really lost to him.
Qi Yueran rolled her eyes and thought that she must have been kicked to the head by a horse. She thought that he was a good person and An had a kind heart. She turned around and was about to get off the car, and Huo Lianjie pulled her. "Sit honestly, I won't speak anymore." Sure enough, she didn't say anything again.
Qi Yueran listened to the sound of horse hooves outside, but he couldn't help but think of the situation in Changyuan City. This battle is strange and unpredictable. I hope everyone will live.
Many people in Changyuan City were confused and prepared for a day's livelihood as usual. But many people also had their hearts in their throats, and their weapons were placed within reach, and they were on standby at any time. With Huo Lianjie and his group leaving, the situation seemed to become a little subtle, as if they were calm, and they could be disturbed by an inconspicuous little stone at any time.
As the prince's most trusted person, Lu Chen was naturally in the palace at this time. He walked to Zhuang Zheng, the leader of the Imperial Army, bowed and smiled, "Master Zhuang, whether Lu Chen can live until today next year depends on him!"
Zhuang Zheng said in panic: "Mr. Lu, what does this mean? You are a celebrity around the prince. If Zhuang wants to be promoted in the future, he will rely on the master to say a few good words in front of the prince."
Lu Chen said: "Mr. Zhuang must be a smart person who can reach this position today. You should know that there is a saying that is justified, and you should know that there is a saying that adding icing on the cake is worse than giving timely help."
Zhuang Zheng pretended to be puzzled.
Lu Chen simply picked up the window paper and said directly: "When Prince Weiyuan left the capital, the prince had no available troops. Therefore, at this time, Lord Zhuang's imperial guards were very important. You should be familiar with the affairs in the court. King Xian and the Queen Mother have a lot of wings, and both civil and military people are available. There are not many more you, but not many less you. On the side of the prince, there is only one prince, and he is still a general, so it is not suitable to be placed in the capital."
He paused for a moment, observing Zhuang Zheng's expression. Seeing his eyes moving back and forth twice, he guessed that he was weighing the pros and consequently, and continued: "I also heard that Lord Zhuang has two sons, who are both scholars and wise men under Mr. Zhu. Mr. Zhu is very talented and the prince admires him very much. His disciples must be among the people. The prince is young and needs the assistance of young people."
Zhuang looked at him in a flash, and didn't know how many words he heard. After he finished speaking, he bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Lu."
Lu Chen turned around and walked to the corner of the corridor column, and an Eastern Palace staff member was waiting for him. A young man asked, "Is this useful to tell him about this at this time?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether he listens to me or not. What's important is that he talks to me, and the people of King Xian will see it." The young man smiled knowingly: "Sir, great."
The emperor's bedroom was the most nervous at this time, and all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital gathered here. The old imperial physicians with gray hair shook their heads, sighed, and were frowning.
The Empress Dowager, King Xian, Xiao Yun and several important officials in the court were waiting outside the hall. No one dared to speak, and even breathed intentionally, for fear of disturbing others.
Jiang Chao, the chief general of Tai'an Palace, walked out quickly from inside and shouted in a crying voice: "Empress Dowager, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, and all the sirs, come in and have a look, Your Majesty, hurry up, hurry..."
As soon as this was said, or from the beginning of his appearance, everyone's expressions became nervous. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a burst of rapid footsteps. Everyone rushed in, squeezed him aside and almost fell down.
Jiang Chao had no time to care, and touched his cheek: "Your Majesty..." He staggered and hurried in. The imperial physicians had already gone out. Emperor Yan Xiao Che was lying on the dragon bed, his face was a little rosy. Everyone immediately understood that this was a rebirth. However, although his face improved, he did not speak, his lips moved without sound. His hand wanted to lift it up, but only moved a few fingers. Finally, he seemed helpless, pointed his eyes at the Empress Dowager and turned to Xiao Yun again.
Xiao Yun knelt on the edge of the bed and kept looking at him. Seeing that he was breathing rapidly, he hurried forward a little more: "Father!" He cried.
King Xian also rushed over and knelt down: "Brother!"
All the ministers behind him also knelt down. The empress dowager wiped her eyes with a veil, and Qiqiai Ai shouted, "The Emperor..."
