Chapter 2282 Palace Gate
A bright full moon hangs high in the sky, and the light green moonlight sprinkles on the palace complex and the palace gates. The huge Forbidden City is like daytime.
A sedan chair slowly landed on the edge of the Meridian Gate Square under the escort of the entourage. It did not require its own lights. The moonlight here seemed very bright, and the person who walked out of the sedan was Wenhua of the current dynasty.
Lin Weiran, Grand Secretary of the Palace and Minister of War.
"Gemaster Lin, what happened in the palace?" Guo Pu and Chen Yiqin came down from the sedan chair behind and looked very curious and asked.
Lin Xuran just informed them to come, but did not tell the reason. He raised his hand and pointed at the palace gate and said, "You can accompany me to the palace to meet the saint first, let's talk about the matter later!"
Guo Pu, Chen Yiqin and Lin Qingran have been in contact for many years. They know that Lin Qingran is not the kind of person who makes a big deal. Seeing him racing against time, they know that this incident must be extraordinary.
Lin Qingran watched Guo Pu and Chen Yiqin walk towards the Meridian Gate, turned his head and looked at the traces of Li Chunfang and Zhang Juzheng behind him, but he knew that "his own people" were reliable.
"Three Pavilion Masters, if you don't have tokens in your hands, this palace gate must not be opened!" The goalkeeper on the city headed down, but he flatly refused to say in the face of Guo Pu's request.
Chen Yiqin knew that this was the rule of the palace, so he immediately said at the top of his voice: "We have a hundred thousand urgent matters to meet the emperor, so please report it to the emperor quickly!"
Of course, they did not have tokens to enter and exit the palace at will, but if Longqing summoned them at this time, they could also pass through this palace gate.
"How can the last general enter the important place in the harem be at will? I can't help this matter!" The goalkeeper did not dare to offend the three cabinet masters, and he seemed to complain about his own difficulties.
Just when Guo Pu asked the general to come to the palace servant to report, an old eunuch said in a unique voice: "Three masters, the family just came out of the inner palace. It was really a coincidence that the emperor had already fallen asleep tonight.
No! Even if you have something urgent to do, the family of the zodiac will not dare to alarm the emperor, so please go back!"
Guo Pu and Chen Yiqin both knew what kind of daily routine Longqing was. He could not help but look at each other when he heard this answer, and then turned his head to look at Lin Weiran.
In fact, they still don’t know why Lin Xuran insisted on entering the palace to meet the saint overnight, and they didn’t expect that Long Qing would not see them, and they vaguely realized that things were full of strangeness.
"Eunuch Xiao, I wonder where Eunuch Meng, the Sili Supervisor, is now?" Lin Qingran knew that these eunuchs on the edge did not dare to disturb Long Qing who was already asleep, so he immediately looked up and asked.
"Geun Lin, the Ming Dynasty law stipulates that court officials are not allowed to get close to officials, but I don't know what it means to find Eunuch Meng?" Eunuch Xiao is a mature and even if he has something to say.
Guo Pu and Chen Yiqin frowned slightly, but they felt that Eunuch Xiao was hostile to them, but they also looked at Lin Qingran worriedly.
Now Lin Qingran is asking for a name to meet Meng Chong. If there is no reasonable explanation, I am afraid that I will really catch this little braid for those who are interested.
"How can I have a relationship with Meng Chong? It's just that Meng Chong is with the emperor now and often serves the emperor. But I want to know if Eunuch Meng can help me! I'm here tonight, and I'm really in a hurry.
For this matter, please let Eunuch Meng come!" Lin Junran's face turned right, but immediately explained with a clear connection.
The reason why Chen Hong or Feng Bao was not named was due to this consideration. Now that someone wants to attack him, he also has to provide evidence of his interactions with Meng Chong.
Facing this leak-free explanation, and the identities and status of the three cabinet masters were placed here, Eunuch Xiao also compromised and said: "Please wait a moment!"
As he said that, he turned around and left in a hurry, but went to report to Meng Chong.
Lin Weiran looked at Eunuch Xiao on the city tower leaving, and his eyes flashed with concern.
Although I didn't know the real situation through the numerous palace gates, facing such feedback, I became more and more worried about the safety of Empress Chen and the emperor's legitimate son.
It would be fine if Concubine Li was the only one who took action. If Longqing was involved, then Queen Chen and the child in her belly would be really in danger.
Chen Yiqin could no longer help but wonder, turned his head to look at Lin Xuran and inquired: "Gei Master Lin, what happened tonight?"
Although Guo Pu did not say anything, he looked at Lin Weiran curiously.
Whether Lin Qingran hurriedly asked them to enter the palace to meet the saint together, or just received feedback from Long Qing that he had fallen asleep, there was a strange atmosphere tonight.
"I just received a message from the palace that the queen was trapped in Yuxi Palace and urgently needed treatment. Although I cannot ensure the authenticity of the news, I want to meet the emperor for peace of mind. Please make sure that the queen is safe.
, and even be able to meet the queen!" Lin Xuran hesitated for a moment, then said the whole story.
Guo Pu and Chen Yiqin did not investigate where the news came from, but knew that Lin Xuran had a close relationship with the palace and knew that this matter was almost inseparable.
Chen Yiqin blew his beard and asked anxiously: "Gei Master Lin, in this way, is someone trying to deliberately murder the queen and the emperor's legitimate son?"
Although no one can determine whether the queen is the emperor's legitimate son or the emperor's legitimate daughter, more and more situations indicate that the emperor's legitimate son is relatively likely, so many officials have already determined that the queen is the emperor's legitimate son.
The same is true. Under the upholding of orthodox ethics, who would dare to propose to confer the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Yijun as the crown prince? The officials in the court would definitely use the spit-spray star to directly overwhelm the other party.
But a big change has already occurred tonight, and the emperor's son they were thinking about may die tonight.
"If the help news in the palace is correct, I'm afraid this is true!" Lin Weiran did not correct Chen Yiqin's mistake and nodded seriously.
Guo Pu and Chen Yiqin looked at each other and finally understood why Lin Qiran insisted on meeting the saint overnight.
It just concerns the safety of the emperor's legitimate son and the future of the Ming Dynasty. They really cannot worry too much, and they really have to make a breakthrough in this palace gate.
As soon as they thought of this, they couldn't help but look anxiously at the city tower, but they hoped that the palace servants would send the will to call them into the palace, so as to ensure that the emperor's son was safe and sound.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the three people in front of the Meridian Gate looked very anxious.
Li Chunfang and Zhang Juzheng finally rushed over. Just looking at the anxious three people, Zhang Juzheng seemed to be confused and wanted to inquire about the news, but what he got was Guo Pu who asked him to shut up directly.
When Zhang Juzheng faced this reply, he seemed to be self-interested and followed him with his neck tilted to wait for the news.
The moon was very round and bright tonight, and the five were standing quietly in the square in front of the Meridian Gate.
"The five pavilions came to the palace gate together, but they didn't know what was going on?" Meng Chong finally appeared on the top of the city and asked lazily.
Guo Pu didn't like this eunuch who was flattered and seemed serious: "Eunuch Meng, we ask to see the emperor, please report it!"
"Gemao Guo, the emperor has fallen asleep now. Even if there are military and national affairs, I am afraid he will report it tomorrow!" Meng Chong said lazily, relying on his favor.
Huh?
Li Chunfang and Zhang Juzheng did not know the truth, but knew that Altan was unable to move south, let alone the troops were approaching Beijing City, so they could not help but turn their heads curiously to look at the three of them.
"The emperor has always been looking for fun all night, why did he rest so early tonight?" Mr. Guo was already anxious and questioned loudly.
Meng Chong first snorted coldly, and then corrected it: "Geor Guo's words are inappropriate! The emperor has always been diligent in government affairs, but he has been overworking recently, so he couldn't help but go to bed early to raise a dragon body tonight!"
Chen Yiqin faintly realized that there was something wrong with this matter, but he still had no way to refute it.
"Since the emperor is so worried about national affairs, he doesn't know that Eunuch Meng is willing to report to the emperor for the five of us. We have important things to report tonight!" Lin Qingran immediately said with all his strength.
Li Chunfang and Zhang Juzheng didn't know the inside story, but they couldn't help but secretly praised Lin Qingran for playing this trick. They also curiously looked up at Meng Chong on the city tower.
Meng Chong knew Lin Xuran was difficult to deal with, so he laughed and said, "Gei Master Lin, you will make things difficult for the Za Family. Even if you give Za Family a hundred courage, you will not dare to disturb the Emperor's Qingmeng! My parents, please go back
Bar!"
When Guo Pu and Chen Yiqin saw Meng Chong directly rejecting, they couldn't help but turn their heads and look at Lin Qingran.
"Eunuch Meng, is the emperor sleeping in the Qianqing Palace tonight?" Lin Qianran actually knew that Meng Chong could not help this, so he seriously sought to prove the truth.
Meng Chong knew that this kind of thing could not be lying, so he seemed confident and responded: "Not bad!"
"Since the emperor has already fallen asleep, I will meet the saint tomorrow and say goodbye!" Lin Xuran hesitated for a moment, and immediately made a decision and said authentically.
When Chen Yiqin heard this decision, he turned his head and looked at Lin Weiran in confusion.
Guo Pu sighed inwardly, but knew that Lin Qiran's decision was also helpless. Although they were high-ranking ministers, it would be difficult to reach the sky if they really wanted to break through this palace gate tonight.
Li Chunfang and Zhang Juzheng looked at each other, but they didn't know which song Lin Junran, Guo Pu and others tonight. When they turned around and left, Zhang Juzheng finally couldn't help asking, wondering why they wanted to come to the palace together to meet the saints.
Guo Pu and Chen Yiqin knew that it was big or small to find out the news from the palace, so it was best not to disclose it to others, so they turned their heads and looked at Lin Qiran.
Lin Qingran looked at Li Chunfang and Zhang Juzheng, but knew that if he wanted to get together with each other, he needed to give him a certain amount of trust. After a little hesitation, he revealed the news he got from the palace tonight.
Li Chunfang was slightly stunned at first, then looked at Lin Xuran calmly and said, "The emperor fell asleep so early tonight. The queen is afraid that she will definitely stay with her in danger!"
When Guo Pu saw Li Chunfang's reaction, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved, but he looked at Zhang Juzheng who was silent next to him with a warning.
"I also think so! Master Lin, you have always had many ideas, but I don't know if there is any way to break the deadlock?" Chen Yiqin expressed his opinion seriously, then turned his head and looked at Lin Xuran for help.
Lin Qingran looked up at the direction of Xiyuan, but sighed and said, "For the five of us, we will not be able to open this palace gate tonight no matter what! Now, I just hope that Queen Chen can survive until tomorrow morning. , When the palace gate opens tomorrow, we will ask for the queen together!"
"That's all!" Guo Pu and Chen Yiqin sighed, nodding helplessly.
Even if it is related to Empress Chen and the emperor's legitimate son, now that this palace gate cannot get Long Qing's permission, they cannot break in. The safest way is to have to "break into the palace" again in the daytime.
As long as it was during the day, even if the emperor stopped him, they would be able to force the palace to meet the queen in the name of worrying about the emperor's legitimate son.
Forbidden City, the East Warm Pavilion of the Ganqing Palace.
Longqing's routine has not changed. He is enjoying the dance in the hall here as before, and the lead dance is the beautiful British and beautiful man.
But I don’t know if it was because of the weather or because the British and Americans did this on purpose, her clothes were faintly visible, showing her seductive white white skin and good figure.
"English and Americans, you are really tempting tonight, I like it very much!" Longqing looked at the English and Americans who walked up Kuankuan and exclaimed with a look of a pig brother.
The British and Americans looked charming and gave Long Qing a charming look, took the initiative to pick up the white porcelain wine pot and said, "Your Majesty, are you thirsty? I pour you wine!"
"No...good!good!" Long Qing originally wanted to say that he was not thirsty, but seeing that the British and Americans were about to feed him wine, he nodded immediately.
Although alcoholism is related to innate factors, the "test of wine" is not groundless. Drinking too much can also increase alcoholism. Now, Longqing has become a master of alcohol every night.
The British and Americans had the intention of competing with Shu Meiren and others. However, in Long Qing's smile, he suddenly found that the British and Americans drank the wine in their glass in one go.
ah?
Longqing saw that the wine glass was empty, but he didn't want to drink the wine for the British and Americans. It was just when he was slightly stunned that the British and Americans suddenly leaned over and pointed their mouths at Longqing.
Longqing first felt the soft and fragrant lips, and then the warm wine was brought into his mouth. He immediately found that the wine had a different flavor, and he couldn't help but close his eyes intoxication.
After seeing Long Qing's reaction, the British and Americans first wiped the corner of their mouths, and then asked smugly: "Master, how does this wine taste?"
"Okay! OK! It's so beautiful!" Longqing found that this novel way of drinking really had a different taste, so he couldn't help but praise him with a thumbs up.
Nowadays, British and Americans not only compete for favor, but also want to reward the generous Longqing, but they did not give up. They looked charming and looked like silky eyes to challenge Longqing's desire.
It was at this moment that a burst of urgent footsteps came.
"What's the matter?" Long Qing couldn't help but frown and asked after looking at the eunuch coming in.
Zhang Gui, the manager of the Qing Palace, saw Longqing and the British and Americans flirting, and couldn't help but gritted the bullet and report: "Just just now, there was another news from the West Garden, or was it said that the queen wanted to hire an imperial physician!"
"She just has a lot of things to do. I just ignore this matter and say I have already fallen asleep!" Long Qing's face immediately darkened, and he looked very impatient.
When Zhang Gui heard this response, he could not help but say yes, and then quietly retreated, and took away the irrelevant palace maids and eunuchs.
"Your Majesty, you're asleep, it's very energetic!" The British and Americans leaned down at Longqing, holding something in their hands.
Longqing's desire had been picked up, but he said with a wicked smile: "I am indeed asleep, but aren't you there to serve it?"
