Chapter 34: The Beginning

Chen Sheng's guard of honor caused a commotion in front of the imperial city.

This is an unprecedented situation, and it was not until Wang Lieyang came over that everyone learned the reason.

"Chen Xiangye entered the palace first. Wang Lieyang said.

It is also very puzzling to enter the palace first, could it be that something happened in the palace? But if something really happened, Wang Lieyang would not be here.

"The Queen Mother said that she was not feeling well last night, Her Majesty kept watch all night, and did not let the imperial doctor consult, so the Imperial City Division could only invite the Xiangye to come. Wang Lieyang said, his expression indifferent, "Lu Zhongcheng has also entered the palace." ”

In this way, the officials present understood, and they were all relieved, the Queen Mother has been making trouble for a long time, since the time of Qin Tangong Dumen retreated from the dynasty, although he was trapped in the harem, the Queen Mother scolded Wang Lieyang Chen Sheng for bullying orphans and widows, and everyone in the Manchu Dynasty knew it.

Now I'm pretending to be sick.

What can you do if you pretend to be sick, can the decisions of the prime ministers be swayed by a harem woman?

While he was talking, there was another commotion on the royal street, and another guard of honor came, and before he could see who it was, Song Yuan's voice had already sounded.

“..... Of course, I want to see how seriously the person who came from the court is.... Don't be a liar. ”

This is Qin Tan Gong is coming, although Qin Tan Gong is a military general, but as a minister, the honor guard is only one level lower than the two ministers, and the officials on both sides are also like the sea water to separate and make way, Qin Tan Gong is riding on a horse, and there are still officials surging around him, and Song Yuan swaggered and followed.

Qin Tangong saw Wang Lieyang in front of him, and he dismounted to give a salute.

Wang Lieyang also greeted him kindly, and there was no grudge between the two.

"The Queen Mother was unwell last night?"

"Yes, my grandfather heard about it.... The grandfather still has to persuade the queen mother, Your Majesty is getting bigger and bigger, she has to set a good example. ”

The officials next to him all pricked up their ears to listen to the sound, as in the past.

There was no greeting for long, Wang Lieyang and Qin Tangong arrived at a fixed time, so as not to wait outside for too long and lose their identity, and soon the morning bell of the salute rang out, and the palace door slowly opened.

Qin Tan Gong stretched out his hand to Wang Lieyang to invite, Wang Lieyang stepped forward, led a hundred officials into the palace, the guards on both sides of the palace gate stood solemnly, and the leader in charge of the imperial city guard saluted Wang Lieyang Qin Tan Gong and other important ministers.

Zhang Liantang stood at the back of the team, looked up and looked forward, the front hall sat upright in the bright morning light, Zhang Liantang looked back again, and saw that the palace gate was closing, and the slowly closing gate could see a team of guards running outside the palace gate and scattering, and the guards inside stood in front of the palace gate, blocking Zhang Liantang's sight, and the palace gate was closed behind them.

It's the same as before.

It's just, what about Xue Qing?

Zhang Liantang looked behind him and frowned, did he have to wait for the summons to come?

The officials stepped to the front of the main hall, and Xue Qing stood in the side hall and saw it.

Standing on a high place overlooking nearly a thousand officials, the feeling is different from standing in the queue, no wonder the emperors like to watch the courtiers rush in.

It's a pity that I can't see Zhang Liantang Pei Yanzi and them, standing too far back, Xue Qing tiptoed, seeing the officials standing in front of the hall, Wang Lieyang and Qin Tangong at the front whispered, looking in one direction, as if waiting for someone..... Wait for Chen Sheng?

.....

.....

"Don't wait, let's go in first, we should come with Your Majesty. Wang Lieyang said.

Qin Tangong has always been indifferent to these little things, and nodded with a smile when he heard this.

Song Yuan pricked up his ears and heard a mutter: "Is Chen Xiangye a eunuch? What kind of rule is this, go in and out with Your Majesty." ”

That's not a good word.

"Shut up. Wang Lieyang unceremoniously scolded Song Yuan, "Chen Xiangye cares about the minister, how can you give advice." ”

Song Yuan was angry and wanted to refute, but Qin Tangong glanced at him and stopped talking, pouted and turned his head.

Wang Lieyang didn't pay any attention to him, stepped forward, and the eunuchs in front of the palace opened the door and led the officials into the main hall.

......

......

Xue Qing slid from the window here to the side of the partition door, there was no footsteps, and even her clothes did not flutter and rub, the partition door was a little high, and she had to tiptoe to see out.

The main hall is also the same as before, the officials stand in order, and this time you can see Zhang Liantang, he stands at the end with a strict demeanor, and he doesn't see anything unusual, but ..... The corners of Xue Qing's mouth curved, it was obvious that this guy was distracted, and it wasn't distracted, he should be thinking about when he would come.

Not many people know about Chen Sheng's entry into the palace, but those who should know also know it, such as Wang Lieyang, such as Qin Tangong, Song Yuan and several others, they can't hide it.

Chen Sheng's reason was to prevent being attacked halfway, and it was safest to take it with him, but Wang Lieyang, who seemed to know, and Qin Tangong, who pretended not to know, didn't care.

In fact, it was nothing for her to enter the palace in advance, and she had been resting in the side hall of the main hall, Chen Sheng said that today she just came to see and listen and wait.

What are you waiting for?

Outside, there was a whip sounding, and the officials immediately bowed their heads and prepared to bow, but the drum music did not sound as usual, and footsteps came in from behind the hall.

"Your Majesty will not go to court today. Chen Sheng's voice sounded.

The officials who were about to bow their heads suddenly raised their heads in surprise, and looked at Chen Sheng standing in the hall, and behind him was Cheng Lu Yan of the Imperial History who came in with him, and the hall was in an uproar.

There are few vacancies on the dragon chair in front of the palace, because the kingdom cannot be without a king for a day.

When the first emperor and queen passed away, it was the queen mother who was pregnant and listened to the government, until the little emperor was able to sit in the palace by himself, although the little emperor was young except for occasional physical discomfort and rarely absent, at most the time on the court was shortened, and everyone worshiped in another hall to discuss matters.

But I didn't hear the news that the little emperor was sick, and suddenly he didn't go to court, and of course the court officials had to question it.

"His Royal Highness served the Queen Mother and didn't sleep all night, so let him rest temporarily. Chen Sheng raised his voice and said.

Lu Yan also scolded the hall to stop the noise.

"Today's court meeting is to question witnesses and confront Qin Tangong against accusations. Chen Sheng's gaze swept over the hall and landed on Qin Tangong, "It will be submitted to His Majesty for judgment after it is sorted out." ”

In this way, the officials present understood in their hearts that after all, Qin Tangong was the little emperor's own uncle, and if he wanted to be questioned in the court, it was better for the little emperor not to watch it with his own eyes, lest he cry and not end up crying.

What does this mean? It shows that Chen Sheng has taken control of the inner court, and this matter is not his decision alone, and the eyes of the officials looked at Wang Lieyang, who was hanging his hands and didn't seem to hear it.

The noise in the hall suddenly became half as small, and only Qin Tangong's entourage was still questioning.

"Whether there is a crime or not is indeed not a definite conclusion, it is up to His Majesty, the officials and the people of the world to decide. Chen Sheng shouted solemnly and raised his hand to signal, "Dali Temple, please try Lin Yue's case." ”

Then Dali Siqing stood up and looked at Qin Tan and said, "Grandpa Qin, Lin Yue submitted evidence to accuse you of murdering the first emperor, can you plead guilty?"

Before Qin Tangong could speak, Song Yuan jumped out and snorted: "Admit your mother's crime, do you have a case like this?"

Dali Temple Qing was furious, and the imperial historians in the hall were also reprimanded, and it was suddenly noisy and chaotic.

......

......

Xue Qing shook his head with a smile in the side hall, his eyes fell on Zhang Liantang, and saw that he still didn't care about the noise, but took advantage of the chaos to look out...... Wait until you play.

Not so soon, Xue Qing thought, listening to Qin Tangong in front of him to stop the noise, and replied very simply that he did not admit guilt and reprimanded absurdly, so Dali Temple began to summon witnesses, according to the names recorded in the book presented by Mr. Qingxia's old servant, except for the three who died in the house on the road, the remaining eight people arrived.

The arrival of these eight people made a small commotion in the hall, they had served in the court or the army, and their official positions were high and low, but they all participated in the emperor Taishan Feng Zen ten years ago, so many officials in the hall still remember to recognize them.

The old people and things of ten years ago were pushed to the front in an instant.

.....

.....
