Chapter 198, two tigers fight
The rain outside has not stopped, and it is still getting heavier and heavier. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoThe entire capital is shrouded in smoke and rain.
On the outskirts of Chang'an, dozens of miles away, thousands of people were braving the rain and stepping on the mud to advance forward, and these people were all wearing exactly the same uniforms as Zhang Haidong.
The man in the lead, who was tall and mighty in a coat, had his soldiers stationed in place when he had approached the camp where the guards were ten miles. He himself picked more than a dozen retinues with strong martial arts, and set off in the direction of Chang'an City non-stop.
Before returning to Beijing this time, he specially reported some time to the Empress Dowager Zhang, in order to return to the capital before Zhang Haidong!
Some time ago, after the emperor was poisoned, he was quite worried about it. He had also heard of the floods and 'plagues' in the Jiangnan area, and he was even more keenly aware of the unusually smelling of the continuous rain in the Jiangnan area......
Even if he didn't have the scriptures in the book of the Hubu Shangshu, he knew what the Dajing Dynasty would face next.
Heavy rain was pouring down in the sky, and he seemed to sense the great changes that the palace was about to face, and the horsewhip in his hand was waving even more violently.
"Drive!!"
"Drive!!"
The sound of rain was mixed with the sound of heavy horses' hooves.
Nearly two months of traveling, crossing mountains and deserts...... All this did not make him tired, but more energetic and high-spirited!
The wide robe fluttered in the wind, and the man led his retinue to gallop at great speed, stepping over the mud, and the iron hooves unceremoniously trampled on all the obstacles that stood in its way—
However, after a stick of incense, they crossed the woods and came to the wide official road outside the wide Chang'an City.
The towering city wall was washed by the rain and looked new, and the soldiers on the city wall were wearing robes, holding spears, five steps and one sentry, and ten steps and one post, and they were closely monitoring every move inside and outside the Great Wall.
"Da Da-" The sound of a dozen fiery horses alarmed the soldiers on the lookout of the castle tower, and a loud cry pierced the sky—
"Report - General Han, there is an unknown iron cavalry outside the city! It is Zhang Haidong and General Zhang! A total of fifteen people!"
Han Siying narrowed his eyes, fifteen people, why are there so few people?
In the past, when entering the palace, Zhang Haidong would bring thousands of soldiers and horses, although he would not enter the capital, but he would also be stationed under the city gate, why did he bring fifteen people today?
Han Siying looked at the figures of those people, and the Empress Dowager Zhang also released her words early before, General Zhang Haidong will enter Beijing soon, and he will go to Chang'an before Lord Zheng on this day.
Sure enough, today is only the first day of August, and he has arrived!
Zhang Haidong actually arrived, but ...... Only fifteen people were brought with them...... Han Siying narrowed his eyes, if this is true, then this opportunity cannot be missed!
Han Siying was dressed in military uniform, his expression was serious, a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he made a gesture of preparation to the archers who were squatting against the city wall.
Prepare your archers!
"Phew—"
The man in the lead was dressed in a robe, and his appearance was obscured by a black scarf, and the retinue behind him rode on horseback, raised their heads and shouted to the high tower:
"General Han - I will enter Beijing to meet you on the order of the Queen Mother, and ask General Han to open the city gate quickly!"
Han Siying stood on the city tower and looked at the dozen people and horses under the city, raised his hand quietly, and a row of pre-arranged archers stood up in unison, full of bows and arrows, and aimed at the city!
Next, just wait for General Han's order, and the dozen or so people below will be pierced into hedgehogs immediately.
The man in the lead looked up.
"General Han—"
He shouted in a deep voice, his voice was different from that of the southerners, with a pure natural boldness and roughness, which made people feel shocked in their hearts, as if an oasis of hope had appeared in the middle of a huge desert.
This hoarse and powerful voice reached Han Siying's ears through the rain curtain.
The voice......
Han Siying was shocked in his heart, his body shook violently, and he squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the city for a moment.
Something seemed to be certain, and then there was a burst of ecstasy.
General Han's eyes narrowed: "Stop!"
The soldiers lowered their bows and arrows and retreated.
"Open-city-gate!"
The tall and majestic gates creaked for eternity......
Only at this moment, the sound is delightful!
The gates of the city were slowly opened.
"Thank you, General Han!"
The rough voice spoke, but the man did not stop, and the whip was raised high, leading his men away as fast as possible.
At the same time—
In the Qinzheng Palace, Empress Dowager Zhang glanced at Tan Shi coldly, and then threw off her sleeves and left: "Go to the court first!"
On the top of the main hall, Su Xin had already tidied up his appearance, but the Tan family was not allowed to tidy up his clothes, so he was dressed in a long gown, and his body was pulled to the main hall in a messy manner.
Empress Dowager Zhang sat majestically in the first place, staring at the emperor standing aside, and said with a sad face: "The mourning family should issue a 'guilty edict', everything is the fault of the mourning family, and the mourning family actually allowed the new emperor to act so recklessly!"
Your Majesty, now, you will tell the ministers in person who this woman is!"
Hearing what Empress Dowager Zhang said, the ministers turned their heads one after another, who is this 'palace maid' who is so old and ugly that everyone is scared and scared?
But seeing that Tan's long hair covered his face, everyone couldn't guess it.
Lu Chuan had a loud alarm bell in his heart, and thought to himself, that is probably Mama Tan, right? Mama Tan who General Han took medicine for it last time!
Speaking of this Mama Tan, she has left Su Xin since Concubine Rong died, and has been working as a handyman in the Clothing Bureau for many years, so these ministers can't recognize it for a while.
At this time, Lu Chuan and Su Jun were standing on the side of the Jinluan Palace, and the two of them were nervously watching the development of the situation.
Empress Dowager Zhang wants to issue an edict against herself, what will she tell the world, and will the new emperor be abolished?
Su Xin also had a premonition that the situation was not good.
He raised his head and saw the disdain in the eyes of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and even humiliated the Tan family, and finally had a seizure in front of the court, his eyes were full of anger and bloodshot, and he shouted:
"Shut up for me! I'm the emperor! What do I want, do women still have to get your consent?"
Empress Dowager Zhang wanted to hear him obediently admit his mistake and spare his life temporarily, but now that he sees it, he dares to reprimand the ministers in public, where can he still let him live?
Empress Dowager Zhang was furious when she heard this, patted the armrest and stood up suddenly, stared at Su Xin's eyes with a serious and fierce face, and shouted:
"Your Majesty! That's your nurse Tan!
O thy nurse, how can you take the lead in corrupting Tsunaji's own nurse as the king of a country? Don't you know shame?
Your morals are so corrupt, how can you shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country?
How can you be worthy of the people of the world!? How can you let the spirit of the first emperor rest in heaven? Now that disasters are frequent in the world, the people of Li bear the punishment of heaven for you, are you still obsessed? Huh?"
What, what?
The ministers' eyes suddenly widened, as if they couldn't believe what the Queen Mother said just now!
Who is that woman?
It turned out to be the emperor's nurse Tan?
