Section 364 Upheaval (2)(2/2)
This is a bad sign!
The attendants and eunuchs present felt as if they were on the verge of doom. If the emperor fell, even if he fell himself, the eunuchs and attendants around him would be punished by beheading!
And if the emperor dies...
Then everyone will be killed by the clan!
A quarter of an hour later, the young medical officer on duty hurried over with a medicine box, and even the wizard came.
Half an hour later, the Queen Mother arrived.
After another hour, all the important officials in Beijing had gathered together.
Empress Dowager Dou's face was serious, and the emperor's situation was not optimistic.
The medical officers said that even if he was rescued, he probably wouldn't have long left.
Chunyu Yi even told her: It is better to prepare early.
But at this critical moment, the prince actually went out for a wander.
Really...the prince of the Liu family, can you let her worry less?
After all, Empress Dowager Dou was the woman who followed the late emperor from the Kingdom of Dai to Chang'an. She was leaning on crutches and forced to hold back her grief.
Although her eyes are blind, her heart is not blind.
"General Zhonglang!" Empress Dowager Dou immediately ordered: "Immediately send Qing Zhi to see the Ai family..."
At the same time, she immediately ordered the Changle Palace Guards Nanpi Hou Dou Pengzu to lead the Changle Palace Guards and set off immediately to recall the prince at starry night.
After a while, General Zhidu came to the Queen Mother Dou, knelt down and kowtowed: "I all pay homage to the Queen Mother!"
"General!" Empress Dowager Dou leaned on crutches and groped towards Zhidu, with a stern look on her face, and said: "The Han family and the country are at the point of life and death. The emperor accidentally fell down, and I am afraid he will die. At this moment, the country and the country are at risk.
On the general!"
Hearing this, Zhi Du's face darkened. He never expected that such a thing would happen.
The emperor in the prime of his life would have such an accident!
"The prince has not returned from his trip. The captain and the general are leading a million troops, hanging alone outside. The power of the princes and kings cannot be underestimated. When the life and death of this country is at stake, the Ai family entrusts the defense of Chang'an to the general.
, I hope the general will live up to the expectations of the emperor and the Ai family!"
Queen Mother Dou felt as clear as a mirror at this moment.
It doesn't matter if the prince is not here. Anyway, he is still in Guanzhong. He should be able to return to Chang'an before noon tomorrow to take charge of the situation.
But the key now is that Taiwei Zhou Yafu and General Dou Ying control more than a million troops.
With this power, if the emperor is still alive, he will naturally be able to release his military power with an edict.
But now, something happened to the emperor. If he died, Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying would have a big question mark.
Empress Dowager Dou remembered clearly that when she was still a maid beside Empress Lu, Emperor Gao passed away, and Empress Lu kept the funeral secret, hoping to punish the meritorious officials and monopolize power.
But at that time, Chen Ping and Guan Ying were stationed at Xingyang with 100,000 troops, and Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo were stationed at Yan Dynasty with 200,000 troops.
It was these 300,000 people who made Empress Lu use the rat weapon to prevent her from taking any action.
What's more, now millions of troops are alone outside, and the emperor has an accident?
Therefore, Queen Mother Dou knew that every decision now must be carefully considered, otherwise, if something goes wrong, I am afraid that the country will change!
It's not that she doesn't trust Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying, but that there is no room for any oversight in this matter!
What's even more troublesome is that if the emperor dies, the princes in the world may start to jump up again.
The young master suspects that the Huns may not stretch out their paws to test.
Three years ago, when the emperor ascended the throne, didn't the Xiongnu launch a massive invasion that year?
Each of these things may shake Chang'an's authority.
For the sake of the country, the country, and the late emperor, Empress Dowager Dou immediately made up her mind.
Immediately issued an edict, appointing Zhi Du as lieutenant, general of chariots and cavalry, to control the northern and southern armies and the Bashang garrison. At the same time, he issued an order to immediately rush eight hundred miles to notify Hangu, Wuguan, Xiaoguan and other passes to lock the passes, and ordered
Zhao Wang Liu Sui, who was under house arrest in Zhao Wang's official residence, was immediately escorted to the palace for residential surveillance.
With these orders issued.
Chang'an City immediately became a military station.
Countless residents were awakened by the rumble of horse hooves and neat footsteps in the middle of the night. They opened their windows in horror, only to see that the outside had turned into a sea of torches.
A large number of troops are entering the city from the military camps outside the city.
Groups of heavily armed soldiers with distinctive armor were patrolling the city.
The door of the arsenal has been opened, and the mountains of ordnance have been taken out under the efficient operation of the Shaofu and Zhonglang Generals and the Neishi Yamen.
The strong crossbows were distributed one by one, and the brand-new bed crossbows were pushed out one after another and then hung on the top of the city.
Now, in Chang'an City, anyone who is a little sensitive knows that something big has happened!
Even when the late emperor passed away three years ago, Chang'an had never been so nervous.
Only some elderly people will remember the scene when Emperor Gao died decades ago.
"I'm afraid, something happened to the Emperor..." Such a thought flashed through the minds of countless people.
Not long ago, the emperor also had an accident. It is not unusual for it to happen again at this time. But looking at this situation, I am afraid that it will change today!
…………………………………………
At dawn, the emperor Liu Qi woke up from pain.
There was a voice in the dark telling him that it was time.
He opened his eyes and saw only the Queen Mother and the Queen standing in front of his couch.
"Where is the Crown Prince?" The first words Liu Qi opened his mouth were naturally concerned about his Crown Prince.
In fact, the moment he woke up, he already understood what happened.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover this time.
At the beginning, Emperor Gao personally conquered Yingbu, and his shoulder was injured by a stray arrow. Such a strong emperor fell down at the last word.
Liu Qi did not dare to expect that his life would be tougher than that of Emperor Gao!
"Prince, you are already on your way back. Your Majesty, please hold on..." Empress Bo cried.
Whether it is the medical officer of the Shaofu or a famous doctor like Chun Yuyi, they have already told Empress Bo and Empress Dowager Dou that the Emperor is running out of time, and his awakening this time is just the result of acupuncture and drug stimulation.
"Oh... yes, the prince and the King of Hejian went out for an outing..." Liu Qi murmured in his heart.
Chapter completed!
