Chapter 299: It's embarrassing
"The emperor is seriously ill and can no longer come to participate in the early dynasty, so he specially ordered Benhou to come to the town, and all Aiqing will start to play if he has something. ”
In addition to not being able to sit on the dragon chair in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs now, Nandinghou has already regarded himself as the emperor, and he is arrogant and high-spirited.
"I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate, since the emperor is unwell, then I will wait for the side to retreat from the court on my own, and wait until the emperor recovers a little. ”
Some people felt that it was inappropriate, and other ministers followed suit.
Nan Dinghou's face changed suddenly: "What's the matter, don't you believe that the emperor will let Benhou come to the court for him?"
"Although the emperor is seriously ill now, he is still concerned about the people's major affairs in the world, if you don't report something and delay it, can you afford it when the emperor asks about it?"
Nan Dinghou swept down, his brows furrowed: "Why didn't you see that General Yuan today?"
"General Yuan is in charge of patrolling the capital today, so he doesn't have to come to participate in the early dynasty. ”
"As a courtier, he didn't even come to participate in the early dynasty, what kind of system did he become? Go and recruit him into the palace!" Nandinghou's expression changed slightly, and he actually forgot about him!
There was a stalemate in the court for a while, the emperor did not order that the civil and military officials could not leave, and the Marquis of Nanding stayed here as if he wanted to keep them in prison.
The stalemate lasted until the afternoon, and the ministers could not even eat lunch, and they were all hungry and did not dare to propose to leave without permission.
The capital is still calm, the streets are full of people, and the stalls and vendors are still shouting.
"Lord, those ministers haven't left the palace yet. Xiao Jue's expression was tense, they were on their way back to the palace from the barracks.
"He's waiting for the king. ”
The bustle outside the car was still there, and the people didn't know what was about to happen, and they still went about their day as usual.
"Can General Yuan's side drag it on?" Xiao Jingchen retracted his gaze, and there was no extra emotion in his expression.
"Nanding Hou passed the word, if General Yuan does not enter the palace, the civil and military officials will not be able to leave, by this time, I am afraid that the ministers have already had a whisper. ”
"Lord Wang, General Yuan has already entered the palace!"
As soon as Xiao Jue's words fell, there was suddenly a person's weight on the carriage, and Shadow Six descended from the sky to report the news he had just received.
Xiao Jingchen frowned, General Yuan's impulse was really still uncontrollable: "Find a way to send someone to stop him." ”
"Lord, I'm afraid I can't stop it, people have already entered the palace gate, and our people can't follow in. ”
"Lord Wang, the ...... over there in Guangling City" It seems that it is now ready to be sent on the string, Xiao Jue sped up his speed and glanced at Ying Liu at the same time.
Shadow Six nodded and was about to get up to leave, but Xiao Jingchen's voice came from the carriage.
"Send some men and horses to defend Guangling City, and don't allow the people inside to step out. ”
"Lord Wang?" Xiao Jue and Ying Liu were both stunned, their manpower is now here in Guangling City, why do they still send people to watch them if they don't call people back at that time?
"The princess is still in the palace. Xiao Jingchen's tone couldn't hear the waves, "Go back to the palace first." ”
The day seemed unusually long, and it seemed like a whole century to wait until the sun went down.
It was nearly evening, the street vendors were collecting their stalls and going home, and the people who were working in the fields were also finishing their work one after another.
Xiao Jingchen was dressed in brocade clothes at this time, and he would only wear it so formally when he entered the palace to attend a banquet.
It was finally dark, and no one had sent Su Qing back until now.
He put a token in his hand into his sleeve, then turned around and walked to the door: "Prepare the car, enter the palace." ”
After General Yuan entered the palace, he went directly to the court, and when he saw that the civil and military officials had been standing here for almost a day, his brows furrowed.
"Marquis Nanding, General Ben is here, you can let these ministers go home!"
Seeing General Yuan appear, these ministers finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they could go home safely.
But then, suddenly, many soldiers with spears surrounded the gate of the court.
"Nan Dinghou, what are you going to do here?"
"There are traitors in the palace, in order to ensure your safety, I sent someone to guard this place, and when I deal with the traitor, I will personally send someone to escort you to your home safely. ”
The reason Nan Dinghou found was high-sounding, and these ministers panicked for most of the time.
General Yuan had already sensed his conspiracy, and was the most calm at this time.
"Master Hou said with a mouth that there are traitors in the palace, but we are trapped here and don't know anything, at least let us know what happened, otherwise who can tell if you are Nanding Hou and you are not convinced?"
"General Yuan. Nan Dinghou sneered: "Do you know why I want to keep the civil and military officials waiting for you to enter the palace? You are the accomplice of the traitor!
Several guards poured in for a while, and the ministers on the side hid to the side.
General Yuan was really annoyed at this moment, his eyes widened, and he knocked several guards to the ground with his bare hands: "Open your dog's eyes and take a good look, when will it be the turn of a marquis to call the shots in this palace?"
"Look, you see, he has openly rebelled, Ben Hou is now here to represent the emperor, he doesn't even listen to the emperor's words, doesn't it mean that he is a traitor?"
Nan Dinghou seemed to be watching a play from the sidelines, and the more Annoyed General Yuan was, the more interesting he felt.
"You said that Benhou can't call the shots, so what if it's the queen's mother?"
Everything that happened today in the court was like a farce, and the civil and military officials lost their manners, and only Nan Dinghou was calm.
It wasn't until he said this that the court suddenly fell silent, and it was already dark outside.
The queen slowly walked out from behind the screen in full costume, and she looked around at the ministers below.
"Queen Mother, you testify today, did the emperor deliberately ask me to come to the court to preside over the political situation for him, so as not to delay major events?"
The eyes of the ministers fell on the queen, and she changed her graceful and generous demeanor in the past, and she was a little nervous at this time.
After a long pause, he nodded slowly: "Yes." ”
"Is that a traitor in the palace plotting to kill the emperor's life and intending to rebel?"
"Yes. ”
"You all heard that, right?" Nan Dinghou smiled proudly: "The traitor has been arrested, and the accomplices are now in front of you, and such a major matter as plotting to usurp the throne naturally cannot be easily let go, and this marquis has left you in the palace for the sake of your safety." ”
"But at the moment, the emperor can't handle the affairs of the court, and naturally he can't let these things go unattended, and during this time, the marquis will replace the emperor to preside over the political situation, I don't know if you have any objections?"
None of the civil and military ministers below dared to make a sound, and the queen stood aside like a puppet.
"Queen Mother, are you also confused?" General Yuan was so angry that he was about to rush up, but was grabbed by his colleagues next to him, and those guards took the opportunity to rush up and press him to the ground.
"Queen Mother, you can say something! Even if the emperor is seriously ill, it will not be Nandinghou's turn to preside over the major affairs of the court, don't be confused for a while!"
"Presumptuous, how is the situation in the palace, the palace has its own judgment, it is your turn to point fingers here?
The queen had a straight face, her chest was slightly undulating, and Nan Dinghou turned her head slightly to look at her, with a somewhat satisfied look in her eyes.
