Chapter 155

Feng Sheng immediately stood up.

Empress Chen frowned and glanced at her, the imperial concubine ignored the tea foam with a gaiwan and said: “Go quickly, pity my brother Xuan, I woke up in my dream and wanted to see my mother, so someone wants to stop me.”

Empress Chen was suffocated, she turned sideways to fetch the tea bowl, only to find that the tea was brought by someone from Baoyue Tower, and she put it back again.

Feng Sheng went down with the peach branch.

While the master and servant were walking towards the side hall, Tao Zhi reported the general situation to Feng Sheng: “The slave made an excuse and wanted to send someone out to inquire about the situation, but he couldn’t get out, and the guards were watching outside.”

That is to say, Queen Chen and King Hui, let people look at them?

Feng Sheng has never been so anxious like this moment, what exactly does Emperor Jianping want to do? While sending the imperial concubine to Baoyue Tower, and gathering several children together, at the same time, he disappeared.

Is it because they found out that Zhonggong was plotting something wrong and deliberately arranged it? I still found something strange, but someone took the opportunity, so I had no choice but to do so.

She wanted to tell in her heart that all this was specially arranged by Emperor Jianping, and that nothing would happen, but she couldn’t hide her anxiety. At this time, she couldn’t help but think of King Wei again. If King Wei was here, she would definitely not come here in a hurry.

Feng Sheng walked into the side hall, the three children were all asleep, sleeping on the same bed, head to head, brother Xuan sleeping in the middle. Despite his small size, his sleeping posture was extremely domineering, with his limbs spread wide, his chubby legs resting on his elder brother, and his head resting on the sixteenth prince’s stomach.

Feng Sheng’s anxious heart suddenly calmed down.

She took a few more glances, went out, and whispered a few words to the people, telling them to take care of several children, and asked Taozhi to arrange half of the people in Wei Wangfu in Baoyue Tower to guard outside, and then let them go a little bit. Return to the main hall with some heart.

Here, the imperial concubine could no longer hold her breath, and after a verbal battle with Empress Chen, she sent a few more people out and asked them to split into two groups to find Zhang Laishun and Shao Cong respectively.

As time passed, the faces of the people in the hall were not very good-looking, and the eyes they looked at Queen Chen became more and more suspicious.

“Fuchun, send a few more people to look for them, and let them ask Hui Wang what’s going on outside.” Empress Chen said suddenly.

“Yes.”

The imperial concubine wanted to stop people with her words, but she also knew that if she said words to stop people at this time, she would be humiliating herself.

Feng Sheng thought for a while, and then said: “Since Aunt Fuchun is going out, this concubine will ask the queen mother for a favor, to see if I can send more people out to invite a doctor. Just now, this concubine went to see brother Xuan, and the child had a fever. The concubines sent people out, but the guards outside stopped them.”

“You child, why don’t you keep talking about this kind of thing? How can a child at Brother Xuan’s age withstand the fire? What if it burns out?” imperial physician.

Empress Chen said to stop her: “At this time, the imperial concubine should not send people out at will, as it will arouse suspicion.”

The imperial concubine’s suppressed emotions suddenly exploded.

“Is the empress looking at my mother-in-law and my daughter-in-law like prisoners? Those who know think we are imperial concubines and concubines, but those who don’t know think we have done something treacherous. Are we still afraid that we will send people out to see some shameful scenes?”

Before she finished speaking, she turned to Master Ji and the others and said, “Your lords have also seen that the people we sent out have not come back, and the empress looked at me like a prisoner, and she didn’t even care about the child’s fever and went out to find an imperial doctor.” Jean. Bengong suspects that Empress Chen is suspected of treason. All of this was arranged by them. Now watching me wait is to harm His Majesty. Your lords are deeply relied on by His Majesty, but you must not just watch Your Majesty being killed by that Killed by a traitor!”

She burst into tears as she spoke, empress Chen was so angry that she was so angry.

“Hello, Mrs. Su, you are really eloquent!”

“The courtiers are speaking from the bottom of their hearts, or they are eloquent. The empress, you don’t care what you say, you have to come to taste it. Lord Ji, Lord Jiang, etc. are all veterans that His Majesty relies on. They have been officials in the court for dozens of years. There are no monsters and ghosts I’ve seen it, the empress don’t want to act anymore.

“Anyway, we are all meat on the chopping board now. I said, why did the adults come to Baoyuelou, and there is still this waiting. This is to catch us all. It is time for His Majesty to disappear. Wei Wang is in Fujian. It’s too late, the throne belongs to King Hui? If I had known earlier, I should have invited Concubine Gui, Concubine Shu, and Concubine De to drink tea today, just to save trouble for the empress!”

The so-called tongue has a Longquan sword, killing without blood.

The imperial concubine has always kept low in front of Empress Chen, even after dominating the sixth palace, she has never had a direct conflict with Empress Chen. Now that she said something, Empress Chen discovered that this woman still has a sharp mouth.

Because of what the imperial concubine said, some ministers below couldn’t sit still.

They hesitated and hesitated before, but they couldn’t tell who was lying for a while. Looking at it now, the suspicion of the Zhonggong family is getting bigger and bigger.

Lu Yunfu immediately stood up and rushed out, but guards stopped him outside the door.

He yelled loudly, but the other party was like a deaf man who couldn’t hear, just blocking the way with a saber. Some people saw that the situation was not right, and wanted to find Queen Chen to distinguish it. At this time, several people walked in from the outside, and the leader was Prince Hui.

“The imperial concubine is worthy of being a sweetheart, no wonder she has been favored by her father for many years.”

King Hui’s words were very frivolous, and could already be regarded as insulting.

The imperial concubine said angrily: “Prince Hui, I am your concubine mother!”

“I say you are you, I say you are not, what are you?!”

King Hui turned his face like a book, and immediately turned cold. He didn’t talk to the imperial concubine again, but said to the ministers: “The autumn rain is very urgent today. Although it is a bit bleak, it is also very interesting to enjoy it quietly. , since my lords have invited you to come and enjoy the scenery, you should be quiet, so that you will be well, and this lord will be fine too.”

“King Hui, what do you mean?”

“King Hui, do you know that you are treasonous!”

King Hui sneered: “Sometimes, don’t blame me for not wanting to see you old bastards. You are obviously asking questions knowingly. All right, calm down, otherwise the king can control his own mouth, but he can’t control the knife in his hand. Queen Mother, don’t waste your time with them here, and Mr. Zhao and Mr. Chen, you come out and discuss with you the king has something to do.”

With the current state of affairs, it is obvious that King Hui wants to seek rebellion, but knowing it and showing it in public are two different things. At this time, Zhao Shujie and Chen Qinghua can no longer be allowed to think about how other ministers think of them. King Hui’s meaning is very clear, please follow me Those who prosper against me perish.

A group of people walked out, and Empress Chen’s people also went out at the same time.

After these people left, the door was closed from the outside.

When he came to the corridor, screened back to the left and right, King Hui said to Zhao Shujie: “Lord Zhao, you are the Secretary of the Ministry of War. Now I have something to ask you. Don’t worry. After the matter is completed, I will definitely not treat you badly.”

“What is your request, Your Highness?”

“This king asked you to issue an order as Minister of the Ministry of War to close the nine gates.”

The nine gates of the inner city are divided into Dongzhimen and Chaoyangmen in the east, Xizhimen and Fuchengmen in the west, Deshengmen and Andingmen in the north, Chongwenmen, Zhengyangmen and Xuanwumen in the south.

Since the capital was built, it has been divided into inner and outer cities, and within the inner city is the imperial city, which is the so-called Forbidden City.

It is worth mentioning that each of these nine gates has its own advantages.

To use an old saying in the capital, nine doors go with nine carts.

For example, Zhengyang Gate, also known as Dazhou Gate, is the main gate of the inner city. Only the emperor can go through it, and ordinary people can only go through the side gates on both sides; Enter; or Xuanwumen, for example, because Xuanwumen leads directly to Caishikou, and it is also the gate of death in the mouth of the people, and the funeral procession usually takes this road.

The nine gates of the inner city are all closed on time, except for one gate, Chongwenmen, because Chongwenmen is the place with the most merchants among the nine gates, and the customs here is also famous all over the world. The merchants do not know.

Of course, Chongwenmen is not closed, but it is closed relatively late, and it is usually the earliest to open.

For example, the nine gates and the other eight gates are closed at five o’clock in the hour of Xu. Chongwenmen is often postponed until after the curfew in Haishi.

At this time, the entire city of Beijing was shrouded in a vast and heavy rain. Although it was not possible to stretch out your hands and fingers, but the visibility a few meters away was extremely poor.

Seeing that the rain was not abating at all, the gate guards guarding Chongwenmen wanted to close the gate earlier so they could find a place to rest. This kind of weather has been raining for a long time, and it is also extremely cold.

“Let’s wait a little longer, if the boss finds out, we won’t be able to walk around,” someone persuaded.

“Come on, you, the boss ran out of the house to see us in this weather…”

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes in the distance.

The sound of the horseshoes was very rapid, like thousands of war drums beating at the same time, and like a gust of wind and rain, it was dizzying for the ears. Just when several city gate guards looked at each other, the leader Yiqi had already rushed towards this side, and the momentum did not decrease at all when he saw someone in front.

“Get out of the way!” In the rain, someone shouted anxiously.

These city gate soldiers quickly escaped to save their lives, and were about to curse at the top of their lungs when they saw a sign flashing past in front of them, and immediately shut their voices, fearing that the ferocious faces they had shown before would fall into the eyes of the nobles, so they turned away. court disaster.

“Hey, who is this? I’m in a hurry to enter the city at this time.”

“You don’t care who it is, anyway, if you can have that brand, it’s just those few people on the left, and we can’t afford to mess with them.”

While chattering, the few people peeked at the vast rain, completely forgetting that they planned to close the city gate just now.

They were in a daze when suddenly footsteps came from behind them, and they saw the boss who they thought would never show up at this time running towards here, before they could stand still, they hurriedly said: “There are orders from above.” , Close the city gate, until the order is received, the city gate is not allowed to open, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.”

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering what the **** was going on? Why did all these amazing things happen tonight.

But at the same time, they also realized that something might be wrong, so they ordered the city gate to be closed for no reason. This is Chongwenmen, and the city gate cannot be opened before receiving the order. What’s the matter?

Unlike the special nature of Chongwenmen, several other city gates have long been closed.

The order that came down afterwards was nothing more than an order not to open the city gate at will. After all, even if the gate is closed, it is not impossible to open it, it all depends on who is the person who wants to open the gate.

At the same time, Xiyuanli was in a panic.

Even though it was raining heavily outside, even though it was already dark at this time, King Hui’s search of Xiyuan was so big that many people had already been alarmed. Moreover, what the imperial concubine said also reminded the family in the middle palace, so the places where Hu Guifei, Shu Concubine and De Concubine lived were quickly guarded.

Including King Wu, King Qin, King An, King Cheng, etc., but King Wu was not there. It was said that there was something wrong with King Wu’s mansion, so King Wu returned to King Wu’s mansion in the afternoon.

The people who were watched were skeptical and didn’t mention it, but King Hui was completely broken. After searching for Emperor Jianping for a long time, he broke into the Hanyuan Hall and searched the entire Hanyuan Hall thoroughly. . Afterwards, he broke into Baoyue Tower again, forcing Ji Zhongnian and others to come out and forge a will together with Zhao Shujie.

The reason for doing this is because according to the Dazhou practice, the emperor must have at least two cabinet ministers as witnesses to make a will.

For a moment, King Hui’s crazy move obviously set Ji Zhongnian and his group on fire.
