"Ho~ho~ho~", the old emperor, who was lying on the dragon bed, suddenly hissed.
He entered a wonderful state. His soul could clearly feel the things around him, but he could not control his body, could not speak, could not move, and was like a living dead.
However, this state will change due to external stimulation.
A few days ago, when Huang Guifei was giving him medicine, she told him with tears that his most trusted eunuch, Ma Huanxi, the chief eunuch of Si Li, was killed by the queen with a cane.
"Long live my lord, as soon as you fell ill, some people rushed to seize power. Poor Eunuch Ma was beaten to death with sticks because he refused to rely on them." When Huang Guifei said this, she couldn't stop crying, as if the sky was about to collapse.
.
The cool autumn wind sends the bone-chilling sorrow directly into the ears of the "living dead".
The soul of the "living dead" was strongly stimulated. Doesn't the queen know that Ma Daban is a good slave who grew up with me? How can she do this? The words "rushing to seize power" made her soul tremble with shock. The soul burst out with huge spiritual power, and suddenly felt a little bit about the body. He kicked his legs suddenly and stretched out his hands.
"Your Majesty is awake!"
Beside the sick bed, Concubine Huang, Chief of Ceremony Bingbi He Liang and Master Kun Can were all surprised. Especially the great monk Kun Can, while shouting "Buddha bless you", he recited various scriptures harder and harder
.
However, the Buddha only showed his spirit for a short time. The old emperor moved his hands and feet, and after eating something, he returned to the "living dead" state. No matter how he called, there was no response.
This time, when he heard the shouts of killing outside the palace, the "living dead" actually hissed again in his throat. During his life as a soldier, he was extremely sensitive to the shouts of killing.
"Long live my Lord, please wake up quickly. If you don't wake up, there will be big trouble in the Ming Dynasty." Huang Guifei supported him with tears in her eyes.
"Hoo~ho~ho~", "ho~ho~ho~", the old emperor gasped and hissed, his voice was exhausted, but he could only move his hands and feet slightly, and big tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
When she saw that the great hero in her heart actually shed tears, Huang Guifei's heart ached. She gently stroked Long Bei and said, "Don't worry, it will get better." She tenderly and considerately fed the old emperor a bowl of eight-treasure porridge.<
/p>
Perhaps knowing that it was useless to rush, Zhu Hengjia fell asleep soundly.
??
Outside the Qianqing Palace, the sound of killing was loud, and the war was about to break out.
Yu Taizheng was about to lead an army to attack Qianqing Palace. Liu Rong, the Queen's confidant who was accompanying the army and the new Chief of Ceremonies, quickly stopped him, "Mr. Yu, wait a minute. If we start a war, I'm afraid the world will be shaken and it will be detrimental to the Crown Prince's supervision of the country. Why don't we let our family go to the Queen first?"
Report".
"Well, I will be here to guard you. Please go and report to the Queen as soon as possible." Mrs. Yu snorted coldly.
Liu Rong hurriedly ran to Kunning Palace where Queen Shi lived. Kunning Palace is located directly behind Qianqing Palace, and the two palaces are separated by Jiaotai Palace, which is not far away.
Entering the main hall of Kunning Palace, Crown Prince Zhu Ruoji was chatting excitedly with Queen Shi. He would be in charge of the country tomorrow, and there seemed to be endless things to say between mother and son.
"Old slave, see the Queen, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Queen Shi frowned, "I'm so panicked, what happened?"
"Mother, what's wrong, Lai Amber refused to hand over the defense of Qianqing Palace, and even shot and killed Mr. Yu's subordinates."
"What! Chen Bao is so bold!" Zhu Ruoji roared.
"Prince, please don't get angry. I know Chen Bao's temper. He is hot-tempered and impulsive. When he was a school captain in Jingjiang Prince's Mansion, he was a troublemaker. He is not afraid of heaven or earth, but he is afraid of your father." When she saw her husband, Empress Shi sighed, "The prince will be in charge of the country tomorrow, and there must be less bloodshed in the palace. It seems that I have to go to Qianqing Palace in person!"
"The son will go with his mother and queen." Zhu Ruodeng ordered Liu Yipeng, his trusted general, and Zhang Guoyong to take two thousand East Palace guards to Qianqing Palace.
??
Outside the Qianqing Palace, the gray-haired veteran general Amber Chen Bao ordered one hundred and fifty guards to mount the walls of the Qianqing Palace to defend himself. He led one hundred and fifty guards to line up at the entrance of the palace, silently waiting for what was about to happen. The coming storm.
Mrs. Yu is also waiting, waiting for the reinforcements sent by the Crown Prince. Even though his troops are more than three times that of Chen Bao, he has put on an offensive posture aggressively. But he has no idea, his opponent has a fierce reputation. The illustrious Lai Amber Chen Bao, a famous fierce general under the command of the Holy Emperor, would not be enough to fight with three times the number of troops!
The autumn wind was bleak, reinforcements were urgent, and another group of soldiers and horses came from a distance.
Mrs. Yu first thought they were reinforcements sent by the East Palace, but after a closer look, she found that there were thousands of them under the banner of Imperial Guards. The leader was Han Ruyan, the deputy chief of guards of the palace. She was shocked and ordered her subordinates to form a defensive formation.
Chen Bao was overjoyed that it was his subordinates who came. He shouted to Han Ruyan: "General Han, this person is plotting rebellion and dares to surround Qianqing Palace. Help me to rebel!"
Han Ruyan ran to the front of the formation and first offered her hand to Mrs. Yu, "Don't worry, Mr. Yu, I'm here to help you on the orders of the Queen."
Then he called to Chen Bao: "Mr. Chen, Your Majesty is seriously ill, and it is the general trend for the prince to supervise the country. I advise you to put down your weapons, obey the destiny, and don't be that moth rushing to the fire!"
It turns out that this person has secretly taken refuge with the crown prince and is here today to persuade him to surrender.
"Han Ruyan, you are such a thief. As the deputy chief of the imperial guard, you have been deeply favored and have no intention of repaying the favor. How dare you betray the Holy One! Fortunately, you are a child of a noble family and have read the books of saints and sages for several years. Bah! You have read all the books. He's gone! How can an unfaithful and unjust person have the honor to see his ancestors after death!" Chen Bao scolded fiercely, making Han Ruyan blush and dare not raise her head.
Thunder came from the distance, no, it was not thunder, it was the footsteps of well-trained soldiers marching in formation. The sound was uniform and neat.
Veteran generals like Chen Bao quickly judged that about two thousand more people were coming after hearing the sound and looking at the flag.
The flags were like a forest, under the banner of the East Palace. Crown Prince Zhu Ruoji personally led two thousand soldiers and horses to protect Queen Shi and came outside Qianqing Palace.
"Thousand years old~Thousand years old~Thousand years old~" Seeing the arrival of the Crown Prince in person, the guards in the East Palace were very excited and shouted "Thousand Years Old."
Chen Bao couldn't help but change his expression. There were more than 4,000 troops surrounding Qianqing Palace, but he only had 300 people. It seems that today is the day when his bones will be buried!
He suddenly turned around, bowed three times in the direction of Nuange of Qianqing Palace, and shouted: "Your Majesty, I am completely loyal to you today!"
The sound was like a loud bell, shaking the palace walls of Qianqing Palace. Suddenly, there was a murderous atmosphere in the world, and there was an instant silence inside and outside the palace.
Chen Bao straightened his shirt and put his helmet on straightly. He remembered that Mr. Sun once told him the story of Zilu, a disciple of the Holy Master.
There was civil strife in the Wei Dynasty. In order to save his lord, Zilu risked everything and died tragically under the sword of the rebel army. Before his death, his eyes were completely split, he glared at the enemy and said loudly: "A gentleman will inevitably win the title after he dies!" , bend down solemnly, hold the crown, adjust the crown, tie the belt, then, face the east, and accept death calmly.
Back then, when Mr. Sun told a group of captains in the Jingjiang Prince's Mansion the story of a boy who devoted himself to serving his master and was destined to win the title even before his death, he was so moved that everyone burst into tears and wished they could die for the prince.
Later, the prince became the emperor, Mr. Sun became the second minister of the cabinet, and he himself became Lai Amber. But Zilu's tall image is still imprinted in his heart and cannot be forgotten.
"If Mr. Sun learns that someone is plotting rebellion, he will be like me and repay his master with loyalty!" Chen Bao said to himself, he respected Sun Jinding the most, and suddenly thought of Grand Scholar Sun.
However, what he didn't know was that Master Sun had been sick at home for many days.
