Chapter 2283 Entering the Palace
"The hour is here, open the palace gate!"
As the sound of bells and drums on the bell tower came from the east, the thick palace gate in the West Garden slowly opened, and it also opened the passage between the outside world and the palace.
In the square in front of the palace gate, dozens of officials had already stood here, waiting anxiously, headed by the five cabinet masters of the current dynasty.
Guo Pu stepped forward first and immediately expressed his purpose on behalf of everyone's behalf: "We are asking to see the queen, please report it quickly!"
The little yellow gate of the palace gate faced the strongest lineup of the civil servant group and immediately hurried in to report.
"The emperor has issued an order earlier. The queen is about to give birth, and no one is allowed to visit!" Chen Jin, the eunuch in charge of Xiyuan, walked out and refused to visit the tunnel with a Shanxi accent.
Will?
When Li Chunfang and other officials heard this answer, they were stunned for a moment, so they looked at each other. Although this reason seemed reasonable, things were too coincidental.
Guo Pu's face was slightly dark, and he immediately expressed his opinion: "Eunuch Liu, I heard that the queen is in good health. As a minister, we should go to visit us. Please report it quickly!"
"The queen has been doing well. I wonder who you heard that the queen is in good health?" Chen Jin immediately asked disdainfully when he heard this.
this……
Upon hearing this question, Ma Sen and other officials couldn't help but turn their heads silently to look at Lin Yueran.
The reason why they arrived early in the morning was because they were worried about the safety of the dragon seeds in Queen Chen and the queen's belly was that the source of this news was Lin Weiran.
But they couldn't shake Lin Qingran out. After all, the palace gate was closed last night, and Lin Qingran's channel for obtaining information was extremely inappropriate.
After all, foreign ministers cannot have any interaction with their close servants, let alone communicate with each other.
Lin Qingran knew this interest, but looked at Chen Jin with a arrogant face and felt more and more that there was something in this matter.
"You are a eunuch and care where we heard it! The queen is now in love with dragon seeds and is related to the foundation of the country. We have to meet the queen now to ensure that it is safe, and we can't lead the way quickly!" Lin Xuan saw that the situation was wrong, so he immediately turned against the enemy.
Ma Sen and Zhu Heng's eyes lit up slightly, and they also agreed.
Even if it is not appropriate for them to get news from the palace, they don’t have to explain it to a dead eunuch. Now they need to ensure that the queen and the emperor’s son are safe.
Chen Jin couldn't stand the title of eunuch, and anger immediately surged on his face, but pointed at Lin Xuan and said angrily: "You are so arrogant!"
"You are an eunuch. If you dare to stop me, I will let you castrate you again!" Lin Feng had no good feelings for the eunuch, but he immediately retorted and said.
Chen Jin seemed really worried that Lin Feng would castrate him again, so he couldn't help but take several steps back.
"Let's go, let's go into the palace and see who can stop it!" Guo Pu vaguely felt something was wrong, and no longer cared about the rules of the palace, so he immediately gave an order to go to the authentic.
From the rejection of the emperor last night to the decree this morning, he felt that things were inappropriate.
Although the truth is not clear, Lin Weiran's news is probably true, and the dragon seeds in the queen and the queen's belly are probably in danger.
"Yes, let's meet the queen together to see who dares to stop us!" Chen Yiqin no longer cared about these etiquettes and responded immediately.

Just last month, Shang Baocheng Zheng Luchun wrote a letter to directly advise, questioning Longqing's "Three years after he succeeded to the throne, he summoned a minister to ask a lecturer, rewarded him and accepted him. Is it a way to prevent problems by painting together?"
It is already a completely opposite style of behavior from Jiajing. Although Jiajing hid in the West Garden, he controlled the important affairs of the court, while Longqing went to court almost every day but was like a walking corpse.
Let me ask! If an emperor who truly cares about the sufferings of the people, would he not call the ministers to ask for advice in private? Do you ignore the officials’ advice and replies? Do you not question the opinions of some officials?
After all, although Longqing is not as stubborn as Jiajing, he inherits the selfishness and indifference that comes from his bones, only considering his wealth and food and singing and dancing to achieve peace.
Regarding Zheng Luchun, who revealed his "shortcomings", Longqing chose to adopt the eunuch's opinion, but he beat Zheng Luchun to death for 100 times and imprisoned him in the Ministry of Justice.
"I am paying homage to the emperor, long live my emperor!" Li Chunfang and others saw Longqing's jade chariot arrive, and they all knelt down to meet the tunnel.
Longqing's body gained a lot, and he sat on the jade chariot and raised his hand to the officials present and said, "My dear friends, please be flat!"
Following the jade chariot, the eunuch in charge of Xiyuan, was already the report he made, and he looked at the officials present arrogantly.
"Thank you, my emperor, long live my emperor!" Li Chunfang and others thanked them in a regular manner, and then they stood up from the ground and said.
But when everyone was not paying attention, Zhang Juzheng and Long Qing's eyes met ingeniously, and Zhang Juzheng nodded silently.
Long Qing's eyes fell on the ministers, perhaps because he had faced fewer officials, and he asked with confidence: "Well... you are so hardworking, but you don't know what happened?"
this……
When faced with this problem, Lin Yun and Ma Sen couldn't help but exchanged a glance silently, and then looked up at Lin Yanran in front of him.
The reason why they came early in the morning was that they learned that Empress Chen was trapped in Yuxi Palace, so they chose to forcibly break into the palace gate to rescue Empress Chen.
But when things have come to this point, especially when facing Long Qing's inquiry, it is difficult to directly reveal the matter, and it is even more difficult to "betray" Lin Qingran.
After all, if the queen is trapped in the West Garden and cannot be treated, then the biggest suspect is the noble Lord of the Nine Five in front of him.
"Your Majesty, they just forced themselves into the palace gate, which was the head of Secretary Lin!" Chen Jin pointed to Lin Feng, the Minister of Rites standing behind, and seemed to be the evil man complaining first.
As soon as this was said, the officials found out that it was really "I would rather offend a gentleman than offend a villain." The eunuch Chen Jin had already resented Lin Feng's revenge on the hatred of Lin Feng's scolding him as a eunuch.
"Yes, this matter is the beginning of my minister!" Lin Yun faced the accusation and intended to help Guo Pu take the blame, and stood up and responded with great calmness.
Everyone couldn't help but exchanged their eyes silently, and found that Long Qing had come to seek revenge, and looked up slightly at Long Qing.
Longqing looked in the direction of Zhang Juzheng, then asked with a calm face: "Shangshu Lin, why do you... take the lead in breaking into the palace gate?"
Lin Xuran watched the development of the situation and noticed that Long Qing frequently looked towards his right, vaguely feeling that there was an ulterior motive in this matter.
"When the lower official heard that the queen was trapped in Yuxi Palace, he was worried about the safety of the queen and the dragon seed in his belly, he was so anxious that he forced his way through the palace gate!" Lin Xuan responded very bluntly when facing the inquiry.
Long Qing cleared his throat and asked again: "This matter is ridiculous! Who is the queen who arranged this way? Where did you hear this from?"
this……
When Lin Xuan heard this question, he realized that this matter was extremely unfavorable to Lin Xuanran, but he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Report to the emperor, this matter has been caused by me! I received news from the palace last night that the queen was trapped in the Western Garden and could not seek medical treatment, so I first invited four cabinet masters to meet the saint overnight. This morning, I came to meet the queen with my colleagues. Please allow me to meet the queen!" Lin Xuran had already realized that the spearhead was coming towards him, and he seemed fearless to admit the next step.
this……
Li Chunfang was stunned at first, then sighed inwardly, and found that Lin Junran was indeed a responsible leader, but he was a hundred times stronger than Xu Jie and others.
"Please see the queen!" Ma Sen and other officials realized that something was wrong, but they still petitioned with Lin Xuran.
Longqing seemed not surprised by this, but turned his head and looked at Lin Xuran and said, "Lin Aiqing, you live outside the palace, how do you know what happened in the palace last night?"
Lin Xuan frowned slightly. Although he had always been impulsive in doing things, he also realized that things seemed to be targeting Lin Yuran, and couldn't help but look at Lin Yuran with concern.
"Your Majesty, how Master Lin learned that this matter is not important. Is the old minister asking if the queen and the dragon seeds in the queen's belly in danger?" Guo Pu realized that something was wrong and immediately stood up and asked in a guest way.
"Gei Master Guo, this is inappropriate! We are foreign ministers. If we have any contacts with the inside, it is already a violation of the ban, let alone Mr. Lin has a letter to the palace this time, so please ask Mr. Lin to explain to the emperor!" Zhang Juzheng hesitated for a moment, but suddenly stood up and told me.
Huh?
When Zhu Heng and other officials heard these remarks, they turned their heads and looked over at Zhang Juzheng, but they never expected that Zhang Juzheng would choose to stand up and stab him at this time.
Li Chunfang turned her head in surprise and looked at Zhang Juzheng. When she thought of the relationship between Zhang Juzheng and Xu Jie, she couldn't help but feel a sense of regret and anger.
Guo Pu's face rarely showed an angry look, and his eyes stared at Zhang Juzheng beside him, so he wanted to curse this "traitor".
Although they knew that Zhang Juzheng was Xu Jie's favorite student, after Xu Jie fell, they did not exclude Zhang Juzheng, but they did not expect that Zhang Juzheng would actually play tricks on him.
But I have to say that Lin Qingran really made a big mistake this time. No matter what the reason is, it is inappropriate to communicate with letters from the palace.
"Your Majesty, I am indeed guilty! But I am worried about the safety of the queen and the dragon seed in the womb. I also asked the emperor to ask Dr. Li and Dr. Sun to treat the empress. It is not too late to punish me again!" Lin Qingran did not make too many excuses, and seemed to ask seriously.
When Longqing heard this, he was also not able to make any decisions for a moment, but he looked at Zhang Juzheng like help.
"Ai's family is safe!" It was at this moment that a voice came from the door.
Chapter completed!
