Chapter 9 What would happen if the incident of seizing the door was staged ahead of time?
"Why are you still here?"
After making a big fuss, Queen Mother Sun suddenly looked at Nie Shanggong coldly and slapped her in the face: "You cheap maid! How dare you make the decision behind the Ai family's back?"
Nie Shanggong remained expressionless, having received a slap in the face.
"This slave is thinking of the Holy Mother." Her voice was robotic and emotionless.
"For the sake of the Ai family? If the son of the Ai family becomes emperor, how can he find out about his mother for that useless person?"
Empress Dowager Sun slapped her again with her backhand.
If it weren't for the fact that she had served him for so many years, he would have dragged her out and beaten her to death.
Nie Shanggong suffered it all his life, motionless.
"Humph!"
Ling Chi's screams outside continued, and Queen Mother Sun became very irritable: "Here comes someone, drag her out and slap her for a hundred times! Let her remember!"
If you really had the intention to save that useless person, the Aijia would have killed you long ago!
However, if you violate the wishes of the Aijia, you can avoid the death penalty, but the life penalty cannot be forgiven.
"My slave, thank the Holy Mother for your forgiveness." Nie Shanggong saluted respectfully.
Then he was led out by two palace servants and received a hundred slaps.
There was an executioner who didn't hit her hard enough, but she punished that executioner by changing someone else's punishment. Each slap hit the real spot and was very loud.
She remained silent the whole time.
It was as if she was not the one who was hit.
After receiving the punishment, she returned to the palace, knelt down, and apologized to the Queen Mother Sun.
Empress Dowager Sun calmed down and glanced at Nie Shanggong, feeling slightly regretful. She was so angry with that loser just now that she punished Nie Shanggong. She really lost her mind.
Also blame that loser for messing with Ling Chi in front of Renshou Palace.
Her mentality collapsed.
Nie Shanggong also had good intentions. Normally, he would have scolded her a few times at most and would not have beaten her.
"Has the message been sent out?" Her tone was soft.
"Go back to the Holy Mother. It has been delivered to the princess's residence. The Emperor should have received it." Nie Shanggong kowtowed.
Xue Huan, the commander-in-chief of the Prince Consort, whose father is Xue Lu, Marquis of Yangwu, is a distinguished figure in the capital.
Xue Huan was very good at maneuvering. In order to gain Zhu Qiyu's trust, he insulted Zhu Qizhen in public several times.
Who would have thought that this is an anti-faithful person!
He is from Zhu Qizhen from beginning to end!
It’s also to blame that Zhu Qiyu has no brains. Princess Changde is Zhu Qizhen’s biological sister, and her biological mother is the Empress Dowager Sun. How could she be of the same mind as him?
"Get up."
Queen Mother Sun waved her over, looked at her swollen face, and asked softly: "Does it still hurt?"
Nie Shanggong shook his head.
She wanted to reach out and touch Nie Shanggong's face, but Nie Shanggong took a step back and avoided her hand. Queen Mother Sun sighed: "After all... forget it, go down."
Nie Shanggong saluted and quickly walked out of the hall.
Empress Dowager Sun's eyes were deep: "The emperor made a big fuss here in Aijia. He must have thought he had control of the situation, but little did he know... Huh!"
"Let him be happy for a while first, there is not much time left for him..."
"Humph, a useless person born from a cheap maid!"
……
The news that the emperor violently killed the commander of the imperial guard spread throughout the palace like wings.
At the same time, the news also reached the previous dynasty.
"Wang Qin, let Zhang Yong go and invite the prince here. I heard from the master that the prince has been naughty recently and I want to personally supervise his homework."
Zhu Qiyu smiled coldly: "Well, bring the maid named Wan from his palace with him."
Prince, what would you do if I brought Wan Zhen'er to your side?
"This slave will obey the imperial edict."
Wang Qin was really frightened by the emperor.
They all came from Prince Tan's palace and knew the emperor well.
But after the emperor recovered from a serious illness, his temperament changed drastically, and they had to be cautious when serving him. They even began to fear the emperor.
The royal chariot returned to Qianqing Palace.
Along the way, he closed his eyes and fell asleep, thinking about the guards.
Menda offered up eight commanders, but surely the other commanders were not bribed by Zhu Qizhen?
He had five commanders behind him, and he certainly established his prestige with violence.
But it also means that the traitors hidden in the imperial guards must be determined to support Zhu Qizhen. If Shi Heng leads the border troops into the palace, they will immediately open the palace door and pull Zhu Qiyu down.
"Wang Cheng, bring me the guard roster."
Entering Xinuan Pavilion, Zhu Qiyu sat down, very sleepy.
But he was very uneasy inside.
In history, when the coup was so smooth, except for Menda, Cao Jixiang and other spies, were there no people who were covered up by historical data?
And Queen Mother Sun’s attitude, she doesn’t seem worried at all.
How confident are you?
Or is it all gone?
Or make it for me to see?
There is too little history about the incident of Seizing the Gate, and the speculations of historians cannot reflect the reality. It is really difficult for Zhu Qiyu to distinguish.
Wait!
If I really drank ginseng soup, would that be real history?
Having diarrhea for a whole day can make a good person lose weight, not to mention my body?
So the event of seizing the door was on the 16th day of the first lunar month. The original owner's body completely collapsed and it was impossible to stand up and resist Zhu Qizhen's seizing the door?
But now, if I didn’t drink the ginseng soup, would it still be the sixteenth day of the first lunar month to seize the door?
Inexplicably, Zhu Qiyu's ominous premonition became stronger and stronger.
Even if the palace is sealed, the old witch may still have a channel to deliver the news.
Then, Zhu Qizhen already knew the changes in the palace.
Will they launch a goal-grabbing campaign in advance?
Zhu Qiyu’s face suddenly changed!
Broken!
He mechanically remembers the days of the Seizing of the Gate, but forgets that he has changed history, and the Seizing of the Gate is very likely to be staged in advance!
The preparation he made was to deal with the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.
What if...if we win tonight...
He has no chance of winning!
Gulu!
Zhu Qiyu swallowed hard.
"Your Majesty."
At this moment, Wang Cheng handed over the duty list.
Zhu Qiyu quickly searched for useful information, but these names were very unfamiliar and had not appeared in historical materials, leaving him unable to start.
How to deal with it?
How will he survive if he seizes the goal tonight?
Zhu Qiyu was extremely anxious.
Wait, lock and key!
The key to seizing the door is the key!
After Shi Heng led his army into the palace, Xu Youzhen tried his best to collect the keys of each door.
After locking, throw all the palace door keys into the water.
On the one hand, beware of internal and external attacks.
On the other hand, it is also to cut off the retreat of the border troops and force them to run to the dark side.
"Pass the decree to collect all the keys of the guards in the forbidden area!"
"Anyone who fails to surrender will be executed for rebellion!"
"Anyone who misses or fails to pay will be beheaded!"
"No need to repay!"
"Wang Cheng, you lead the guards to handle it in person and collect every key!"
"Not a handful less!"
"Preach the message again!"
"Every palace in the palace has its doors tightly closed, and palace residents are not allowed to move around without an order!"
"Those who resist the decree will be killed!"
"No need to report, I will kill you without mercy!"
"Publish my decree and declare to the commander of the Imperial Guard, and the commander will come to the palace to have an audience."
If the coup takes place tonight.
The only ones who can protect him are the guards.
He must have complete control over the Praetorian Guard.
