But they were also very smart. Since grandma didn't want to say anything, there must be a reason why she couldn't, so they didn't ask any more questions.
The old lady was sitting alone in the main hall of Shou'an Hall, her expression constantly changing.
"Is the sky really going to change?"
…………
Time continued to pass, and the people sent by Zhou Chen came back one after another, bringing him news from all over the city.
"Master Hou, Master Gu is here."
Suddenly someone came to report that Gu Tingye was here. Zhou Chen was slightly surprised. Did this guy react quickly, or did he get some warning or news?
"Take him to the hall."
Zhou Chen soon saw Gu Tingye, who looked anxious.
"Brother, you didn't go on duty today. I'm afraid something big happened in the city today. It just so happened that my wife was invited to the palace by Concubine Rong today. I suspect something bad may have happened in the imperial city."
Zhou Chen didn't go there today, and neither did the deputy capital commander. Gu Tingye was in charge of Ma Junsi, so it wasn't surprising that he found something unusual.
Zhou Chen frowned: "Your eldest wife was invited by Concubine Rong?"
"Yes, I didn't want her to go originally, but my wife didn't want to offend Concubine Rong because of this matter, so she followed my mother to the palace. Now it seems that something must have happened. I don't know what happened in the palace.
What, but it must be related to Concubine Rong."
Gu Tingye looked anxious. He and Yu Yanran had been married for a few months, and they were getting along very well. Yu Yanran was indeed what he thought, and she was very kind to his children. Although she was a little soft-tempered, she had Grandma Chang to help her.
, I still managed the house well and there was no trouble.
So he felt something was wrong and did not dare to go to the palace immediately. Instead, he came to Zhou Chen immediately.
Hearing that Yu Yanran and Mrs. Qin went to the palace together, it seems that Concubine Rong is also very afraid of the Gu family.
"Something has indeed happened. I have sent people to check several city gates in Bianjing City. All the city gates have been closed, and the palace city has also been closed. If I guessed correctly, it should be King Yan who forced the palace to mutiny.
"
"What?"
Gu Tingye was shocked: "King Yan is rebelling?"
After the shock, he quickly calmed down and thought about it seriously, it didn't seem strange.
King Yong is about to be established as the prince. If he waits until King Yong becomes the prince, King Yan will have no choice but to wait for death, so now he is going to fight to the death.
Thinking of this, his face turned extremely ugly: "No wonder Concubine Rong invited all the ladies to get together. It seems that the Rong family has united with Prince Yan. Brother, could it be that Concubine Rong also invited my sister-in-law there."
Zhou Chen shook his head and said: "Madam, she didn't receive the invitation. It must be because I once saved Rong Feiyan. Concubine Rong is reciprocating the favor."
"Brother, what should we do? Should we just do nothing?"
His wife was detained in the palace, and Gu Tingye was extremely anxious.
Zhou Chen said in a deep voice: "It's not that we don't do anything, it's that we can't do anything. If you dare to make any move, I'm afraid Concubine Rong and King Yan will definitely kill your wife and mother without hesitation. There are others in the city."
The same goes for military commanders with military power, who are not from the lineage of King Yan, or who are on good terms with the Rong family, no one dares to touch them, and no one is willing to touch them."
Gu Tingye understood what Zhou Chen meant. The reason for the change in Prince Yan's palace was just for the sake of the throne. If these generals did not move, their wives would naturally be fine. When the overall situation was decided, they would all be released.
After all, even if King Yan succeeds in the mutiny and wants to secure the throne, he will never dare to offend all the nobles. Instead of offending him, he will try to win over them.
"Is it possible that we have been restrained by King Yan? Brother, can't you even do anything about it?"
Zhou Chen said: "What do you think we can do, go to the big camp in the western suburbs outside the city and recruit troops to march into Bianjing? With a wrong name, bad words, and no tiger talisman, we can't recruit many troops at all. Even if someone is willing to follow us,
Without an order, rashly leading troops to attack the city will be a capital offense, regardless of whether the officials can be saved."
Gu Tingye's face was extremely ugly. He knew that Zhou Chen was telling the truth. What the imperial court was most afraid of was military generals leading troops. If they didn't have the will, they wouldn't be able to mobilize many troops at all. It would be extremely difficult to attack Bianjing City and the palace city.
"Then what should we do?"
"Wait, the officials will not compromise easily. They will definitely send people out to ask for help. I have arranged manpower around the palace. If anyone from the palace is found, I will bring them over. But I know you know this, so you can't
Spread the word."
"Brother trusts me so much, I will never betray him."
Gu Tingye had no choice but to trust Zhou Chen and did not leave. He stayed in the Hou Mansion and waited with Zhou Chen.
The Ouchi Imperial Palace should have been the safest place in the world, but at this moment, it was extremely chaotic, with fighting going on everywhere.
The Forbidden Army and the rebels are fighting. Although King Yan has controlled many troops, invaded the palace city, and controlled all the gates of the palace city, there are still many Forbidden Army protecting the officials in the palace, so now King Yan is letting people fight with the Forbidden Army.
.
Although the number of the Forbidden Army was large, they still could not stop the large number of rebels and could only protect the officials and retreat to the inner palace.
In the Funing Hall, the officials, the queen, and a group of palace maids and officials gathered together in panic.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the rebels have surrounded Funing Hall and are banging on the door. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for long."
An eunuch and an internal official ran in rolling and crawling, and reported in horror.
The official was restless and asked in a tone full of hope: "Is there still a way out of the palace?"
"Your Majesty, the entire imperial city is full of traitors. All the palace gates and palace gates are surrounded by water. It is impossible to get out of the palace."
Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the officials angrily shouted and cursed King Yan.
He didn't expect that King Yan would be so bold and dare to force the palace to rebel. What's even more frightening is that the palace has fallen, and now he can only hide in the palace in embarrassment.
