Chapter 62 The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind
When Wang Xiao's carriage arrived at the palace gate, hundreds of officials were already waiting here.
Compared with the previous scenes where Xiao Cheng succeeded to the throne and the ministers congratulated and paid homage, the queue waiting in front of the palace gate now seemed a little thin.
But it's no wonder that up to now, half of the court officials are still being detained and interrogated by Wang Xiao.
Seeing Wang Xiao's carriage arriving here, all the officials hurriedly bent down and bowed their heads, saying to pay homage to the Grand Master.
Wang Xiao got off the carriage and glanced at all the officials present. Seeing that everyone was avoiding his eyes and not daring to get up, they seemed to be more afraid of him than respectful to him, and he felt quite complicated in his heart.
Wang Xiao did not speak, with a solemn face. Under the protection of the imperial guards, he walked to the front of the hundred officials and waited for the palace door to open.
At this time, I heard several bells ringing from the tower of the palace. The sound was loud and thick and carried very far.
The sound of "squeaking" rang out, and the palace doors opened one after another with the sound of bells.
Wang Xiao tidied up her clothes, and just as she was about to lift her legs to enter, she saw a palace guard running to Wang Xiao's side in a hurry, lowering his voice and saying:
"Grand Master, the mansion is under attack and the situation is critical!"
When Wang Xiao heard this, he suddenly paused. While his face showed a look of astonishment, he felt even more relieved.
He turned to look at Tie Shengwen who was guarding him, shook his head and said disdainfully:
"I thought that the Ailao tribe could use any means. The joint plan was to attack in the east and attack in the west to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
The most intimidating effect of a punch is when it has not yet been struck.
If no one takes action, Wang Xiao will inevitably feel uneasy. But as long as someone uses means, Wang Xiao will be confident that he can continue.
Tie Shengwen also laughed in agreement, cupped his hands and said:
"The attack on the Grand Master's Mansion seems to be a plan to attack the east and the west. In this case, if the Grand Master does not send people to return reinforcements, I am afraid it will arouse suspicion."
Wang Xiao waved his hand and said:
"Of course I know this, so I will send all the 100 guards who are currently guarding me back to rescue me."
Tie Shengwen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"It's better to leave a few people behind. The Grand Master's safety is the most important thing!"
"Since the arrangements in your palace have been taken care of, I can rest assured! By the way, these masters around me are enough. You go over there and watch!" Wang Xiao said decisively.
Tie Shengwen was really confident in his arrangements and immediately handed over his hands and said:
"yes!"
After arranging everything, Wang Xiao straightened his clothes, took steps again, and walked towards the palace.
Officials in court uniforms also followed Wang Xiao and filed in.
In front of the magnificent and majestic Xuanzheng Hall, the mighty Imperial Guards stood in formation. Flags of various colors and ritual objects moved with the wind and made the sound of hunting.
"Trend!"
The ceremonial officer sang the salute loudly, and the imperial soldiers and guards followed suit with a loud shout.
All civil and military officials marched forward to the Xuanzheng Hall neatly and orderly according to their rank, and were arranged in two classes, east and west, according to the civil and military classes.
All the officials were seated, and with the sound of bells and drums being heard, a group of young eunuchs surrounded Xiao Cheng and came to court in public.
Xiao Cheng sat on the dragon chair, drums and music played in unison, hundreds of officials knelt down to congratulate him, and all the ministers chanted in unison. The sound of "Long Live" floated out of the Xuanzheng Hall and spread all around.
After accepting the worship of the ministers, before the ceremonial officer on the side could ask the officials to stand up, someone suddenly shouted:
"The new Shaofu Commander-in-Chief, Huang Xi, has a plan to report!"
A middle-aged official stood up and walked out holding a memorial in his hand.
Among the hundreds of officials, Qu Cheng, the young official, stared at the back of his newly appointed official with solemn eyes.
In fact, all the officials present knew very well what this person wanted. Many people even had the idea of taking the lead in writing letters to persuade him to come in, so as to achieve success in persuading him to come in.
But the Shaofu Lingcheng named Huang Xi took advantage of the fact that the worship ceremony was not over yet and took the lead.
The courtesy officer on the side was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and replied immediately without waiting for Xiao Cheng to react:
"allow!"
"I heard that destiny is not permanent, but it is virtuous. Previously, the country of Yun was in chaos, and the country lost its order, and the country was in chaos. It was all thanks to the martial arts of the Taishi to save the people from all directions and protect our people of the country of Yun. Your Majesty,
I also heard that Your Majesty was seriously ill and became stupid, which is also the disdain of God. Now I am bold and ask Your Majesty to obey the destiny and meditate on the throne of Taishi!"
Huang Xi's words made all the ministers who were interested in persuading them to come to their senses. They stood up one after another, walked out of the ranks of ministers, knelt down on the ground, and said in unison:
"I think so too!"
"Your Majesty, please abdicate and make way for someone worthy of your honour!"
"The Grand Master's martial virtues make him worthy of inheriting the throne!"
Suddenly, a crowd of officials rushed forward, fearing that if they stood up too late, the credit would not be his. At this time, there were only a few officials who were still kneeling on the spot with their heads lowered.
Wang Xiao was already prepared. He put his hands in his hands and stood there, looking at his nose and heart, as if the ministers were not talking about him.
Xiao Chengduan sat on the dragon chair with a sneer on his lips, looking down at the chaos in the court through the curtains.
While the court was in chaos, a young eunuch tiptoed in and nodded to Feng Bao who was standing beside him.
When Feng Bao saw this, he understood clearly. He walked up to Xiao Cheng and whispered:
"Your Majesty, it's starting over there!"
Hearing this, Xiao Cheng nodded, sat on the dragon chair calmly, and looked directly at Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao also noticed Xiao Cheng's gaze and subconsciously looked up.
On top of the steps, he saw the young emperor sitting upright, with a tall and straight posture and a dignified aura that made Wang Xiao's heart skip a beat.
Something's wrong!
-----------------------
Time rewinds to half an hour ago.
Underneath the palace, hundreds of extremely ferocious tribal assassins armed with Miao knives have sneaked in through secret passages.
"Your Majesty, all the capable men selected from the clan have arrived!" Several men and women, leading the hundreds of people, knelt down on one knee and said respectfully.
Nan Rongshu looked calm, nodded and said:
"Don't worry now, we'll wait until there's a life-and-death fight from above, and then we'll take action!"
After hearing Nan Rongshu's words, several of his subordinates looked at each other and couldn't help but ask:
"My lord, it's not that I doubt you. It's just that the young emperor of Yun Kingdom is a fool. It has been confirmed by many parties. Why do you still think that the young emperor is pretending to be stupid?"
Hearing this, Nan Rongshu sneered and said:
"Although I don't know how he pretended to be stupid and deceived Wang Xiao, but an eighth-level master who is only more than ten years old can still infiltrate into the Forbidden Army under such circumstances. Such a person is definitely not a
Fool!"
"But if the little emperor can really hide it from Wang Xiao, how did you find out?"
Nan Rongshu raised her finger and pointed at her nose, and said softly:
"Smell! He has the smell of my previous medicine bag. And I gave that medicine bag to the master who saved me and has been hiding in the palace!"
