"It just got quiet outside, why is there so much noise again?"
In Yongfu Palace, Xue Baojun was watching the maids preparing meals, with a look of displeasure on his face at the moment.
The so-called quiet outside just means that the people were persuaded to leave.
These people were making a fuss just now, which woke up Wang's eldest son Zhao Weihong. Xue Baojun was finally coaxed, but now he started crying again.
"Send someone quickly to take a look!"
"Yes!" Yuzhu replied quickly.
Immediately afterwards, Xue Baoyun's eyes glanced at the maids. She was preparing meals for Zhao Yanxun.
Zhao Yanxun thought it was okay to go without food or drink for two days, but Xue Baoyun couldn't bear it anymore.
She had sent her maids to deliver them before, but they were all blocked, so today she planned to deliver them herself.
Just as Xue Baoyun was getting ready, the people who went to inquire about the news rushed back.
"Replying to your Majesty, the ministers of the two government offices asked to see the prince, but were blocked by the guards. Now they are kneeling outside the palace gate and kowtow to ask for permission!"
Ministers being blocked from the palace is nothing new.
At this time, Xue Baoyun couldn't help but think about whether he could enter the palace gate. After all, the guards only recognized the king's orders and didn't care about anything else.
Despite this doubt, Xue Baoyun still planned to give it a try.
When her husband had nothing to eat or drink, she went to bring him some food. This was a wife’s duty.
"Let's go..."
When Xue Baoyun led people out of Yongfu Palace, in the Feiyu Pavilion across the wall, Huang Rongrong was asking questions.
"Sister Lin, those officials outside have been rejected a lot in the past two days. Why don't they have a long memory?"
Standing by the window, listening to the noise coming from the front, Huang Rongrong's mind was in chaos.
On the soft couch next to her, Lin Jingyu was flipping through an ancient book and smiled slightly when she heard this.
In a few months, Lin Jingyu's child will be born, and Feiyuxuan has already prepared a midwife.
"Since the prince has not seen them, why are they looking for them today? Do they think that by joining forces, they can force the prince?"
At this point, Huang Rongrong raised her Qiao face with her hands and said: "The prince is not subject to coercion. They don't even understand this? Are they all fools?"
Hearing this, Lin Jingyu interjected: "Of course they are not fools, otherwise if the prince uses them, wouldn't he become a mediocre master?"
"Then why do they do these things? Just to make themselves unhappy?"
Faced with Huang Rongrong's question, Lin Jingyu said with a smile: "If you study more on weekdays, you won't have such a question now!"
Stepping forward to hold Lin Jingyu's hand, Huang Rongrong said coquettishly: "Sister Lin, just tell me!"
"How can I understand the affairs of their men's families?"
After saying this, Lin Jingyu pointed at Huang Rongrong and said with feigned anger: "Don't disturb me reading, otherwise I will kick you out of Feiyuxuan!"
Huang Rongrong turned away and said: "Huh... If you don't want to say it, don't say it, you are stingy!"
In fact, Huang Rongrong was right about what she said. It was not that Lin Jingyu didn't know, but she was unwilling to say it.
It is said that there is nothing new under the sun, but what happened in the palace today is not uncommon in the annals of history.
More recently, Taizong Zhao Hongzhang was also in this palace. Under the advice of his ministers, he marched eastward and captured the throne of the emperor with swords.
This moment is exactly like that moment.
Everyone is acting and setting up memorial arches for each other, but these things cannot be said openly. If you tell the truth, not only will everyone be embarrassed, but they will also get into trouble.
Lin Jingyu could take care of herself, but she couldn't worry about Huang Rongrong, so she reminded: "You should stop asking about the things ahead!"
"Who wants to ask?"
Lin Jingyu said to you seriously: "You stay here with me these days, and you are not allowed to go out and run around!"
Both of them are concubines. Logically speaking, Lin Jingyu is not qualified to control Huang Rongrong, but the latter obeys her words.
"knew!"
…………
Outside Fengxian Gate, the ministers were still kowtowing and wanted to meet Zhao Yanxun, and their momentum was getting louder and louder.
"Hu Dabiao, get out of the way...we want to see His Highness!"
"Hu Dabiao, His Highness has not had enough water and rice for two days, how can you bear to let His Highness go hungry? Are you still His Highness's loyal minister?"
The ministers verbally attacked Hu Dabiao, who was standing in the way. At the same time, under the leadership of Cheng Wenguang, they knelt and approached Fengxianmen.
Guan Hetai followed Cheng Wenguang. At this moment, he had to admire that the man named Cheng was indeed capable of causing trouble.
In the absence of Zhou Chengping's unwillingness to cooperate, Cheng Wenguang's biggest credit for this "persuasion" trip was undoubtedly attributed to Cheng Wenguang.
At this moment, under the criticism from dozens of mouths, Hu Dabiao already had self-doubt. Can he really be called a loyal minister by doing this?
But the next moment, Hu Dabiao remembered the situation when he received the order two days ago, which made him instantly firm up his mind.
"The prince's order will be obeyed to the death!" Hu Dabiao said silently in his heart.
At this moment, Cheng Wenguang and his party had arrived at the first step, and they were about to go up the steps.
With a "crack" sound, Hu Dabiao pulled out the knife again and simply put the blade on Cheng Wenguang's shoulder.
"Who dares to go further? You're welcome to blame me, Old Hu!"
Looking at everyone, Hu Dabiao said helplessly: "Everyone... I know that you are loyal ministers, but I bear the king's orders, and you must obey them to the death!"
"Although you are loyal ministers, if you step over the steps, I will still have to kill you... At worst, Lao Hu will pay for your lives!"
While his face was expressionless, Cheng Wenguang was already scolding him in his heart, secretly wondering why Hu Dabiao was so stubborn and how could he continue to perform like this?
In fact, Zhao Yanxun had already expected this.
If a death order is given to Hu Dabiao, and bloodshed occurs outside Fengxian Gate, Bafou, who has been admonished to die, can be added to make his reason for launching an army more just.
When the two sides were in a stalemate, Xue Baoyun, dressed in plain clothes, rushed over with several maids and eunuchs.
"The princess has arrived..."
As Xue Baojun arrived, everyone at the scene was stunned for a moment, and then turned around and kowtowed to Xue Baojun, including Hu Dabiao and other guards.
"Kowtow to the empress..."
After glancing at everyone, Xue Baoyun said calmly: "You are all excused!"
After saying this, Xue Baoyun led the people straight towards Fengxian Gate.
Hu Dabiao immediately called his guards, and they knelt in a row outside Fengxian Gate.
They did not dare to show their weapons in front of Xue Baoyun, so they used a human wall to seal the door.
"Your Majesty, stay!" Hu Dabiao touched his head to the ground.
"You even want to stop me?" Xue Baoyun looked angry.
"I don't dare, but the prince has an order..."
Before Hu Dabiao finished speaking, Xue Baoyun took on the posture of a princess and scolded: "Your Majesty, you haven't eaten for two days? Do you know?"
"minister……"
"Do you want the prince to starve to death in there? What are you worried about?"
"I never dare to..."
"Get out of the way quickly!"
Xue Baoyun's clean reprimand made Hu Dabiao confused and made all the ministers get to know her again.
The princess, who was usually kind and tolerant, turned out to have such a capable and decisive side.
At this time, the official at the foot of the steps helped: "Hu Dabiao... hurry up and get out of the way!"
"Just...get out of the way!"
"Get out of the way quickly, otherwise you have ulterior motives!"
After signaling everyone to be quiet, Cheng Wenguang asked: "Hu Dabiao, His Highness said that the foreign minister was missing. You stopped us and we recognized him, but is the empress the foreign minister?"
Of course Xue Baoyun is not a foreign minister. According to the husband and wife, she is half a monarch.
"If you are disrespectful to the empress, you are disrespectful to the prince!"
I can refute what Cheng Wenguang said by Hu Dabiao.
Indeed, Xue Baoyun is not a foreign minister, so he does not need to stop him according to the king's order.
Afterwards, Hu Dabiao stood up straight and ordered his subordinates at the rear: "Get out of the way!"
Just as Xue Baoyun was walking forward, he heard Cheng Wenguang say: "Your Majesty, please stay..."
Xue Baoyun stopped, turned around and looked at Cheng Wenguang.
The foreign minister did not dare to face Xue Baoyun face to face. Everyone bent down and looked at the floor tiles in front of them.
"The empress wants to see His Highness, can you send me a memorial for me?"
After saying this, Cheng Wenguang escaped from his sleeves and presented the memorial with both hands: "This is the memorial that the officials of the Privy Council of Chang Shisi have come to present to Your Highness!"
Officials from the two government agencies jointly submitted the memorial, which is of great weight.
After thinking for a while, Xue Baoyun said: "Okay!"
"Thank you, ma'am!"
As Cheng Wenguang kowtowed his thanks, all the officials present were grateful.
Soon, an eunuch took the memorial from Cheng Wenguang and followed Xue Baoyun into Fengxian Gate.
