Chapter 348: Night Change
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the night banquet in the palace. Eighty-one? Middle? Text ≥≠≤.≥8≤1=Z=
In the huge pleasant hall, the lights are bright, the warblers sing and the swallows dance, and the beauty is breathtaking.
The red lanterns were hung from the palace gate all the way to the Ci'an Palace, lining the solemn and deep imperial city with a bit of joy.
Just a few days after Ren's funeral, the palace used such red candles to celebrate the joy of Chinese New Year's Eve.
Although the emperor said in advance, everything was simple on Chinese New Year's Eve and mourned Empress Jingxian, but in the face of such an arrangement of the noble concubine, he actually showed a smile and praised it.
The concubine is also a person who is very good at figuring out the emperor's heart, this night banquet, that is, the face of the royal family, but not too luxurious, although the lanterns in the palace are hung high, but comfortable and comfortable, not half of the sense of publicity.
The emperor was naturally happy, and he treated the concubine even better.
Today, except for the Queen Mother, who is seriously ill and bedridden, did not attend, all the women in the palace who have grades are present, even the queen who has been recuperating behind closed doors is also dressed up to attend, but unfortunately, although the queen is also beautiful and carefully depicted, it is difficult to resist the nobility and elegance that the concubine naturally exudes now.
In this palace, in terms of appearance alone, except for Ling Guiren, who can be compared with a few points, the rest of the people are all embarrassed in front of the concubine, not to mention that now, the concubine is powerful and favored, and gave birth to her eldest son, and the limelight has overshadowed the queen.
Thinking of this, the queen felt funny, once upon a time, the concubine who was committed in front of her, is now so proud, it is the Ling family that she personally raised, since the death of the Ren family, she was favored for a while, and gave birth to the prince, and now, it is nothing more than that.
There was another woman in this palace that she couldn't control, but now, he had no chance of winning against the concubine.
In the past, against the Ren family, she could rely on the power of the Zhenguo Gong and the power of the queen to suppress her steadily, but now, unconsciously, everything she has has is illusory and unreal.
And the concubine Jin, Yu to the famous family, the Jin family is one of the four major families, with a deep heritage, although the power in the court is not as strong as the Zhang family, but if the emperor wants to support, but it only takes a few years of effort, after all, the mother of the emperor's eldest son naturally can't be too shabby.
Thinking of this, the queen no longer dared to look at the pair of people talking and laughing on the side, even if she seemed a little redundant at the moment, but after all, she had been in the middle palace for many years, and the experience of these years had already allowed her to practice a joy and anger invisible.
Just withdrew his gaze from the emperor and the concubine, and looked for a familiar figure from the main hall.
The emperor sat firmly on the high platform, and took the queen and concubine to accept the worship of the hundred officials and concubines, and after sitting down, the song and dance began, and the hundred officials drank and had fun by themselves, but they were happy and happy.
The emperor raised his wine glass slightly and looked towards His Highness, his eyes shining with an inexplicable look.
The queen and the concubine sat on the emperor's left and right, and followed the emperor's gaze and looked at His Royal Highness together.
There, a woman in a white gown, plain face to the sky, long and long, with picturesque eyebrows, although no makeup is applied, but there is a plain and elegant freshness like water, which is eye-catching by the beauty between men and women.
She bowed her head and ate and drank quietly, as if everything around her could not enter her eyes and her heart.
Seeing this, the queen withdrew her gaze, a meaningful smile appeared on her face, and she drank by herself, and the haze of the past few days suddenly brightened.
The concubine's eyes were unpredictable, and at the end, thousands of emotions painted a tactful chuckle.
Pretended to be surprised: "Your Majesty, you are too partial, everyone in the palace knows that the emperor gave the concubines and others, and the lord of Huijun also has a share, but the concubines and the queen's sister are so luxurious, how can Sister Hui be so shabby?" ”
Hearing this, the queen sneered slightly, it seems that she is not the only one who regards Liu Yan as a fierce rival?
Now, she is also going to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
The emperor did not have the slightest emotional fluctuation on his face, raised his glass, drank it all, glanced at the white-clothed beauty sitting down, and said softly: "Xun'er doesn't like luxury, and she didn't wear the gorgeous clothes I gave her." ”
A sentence of "smoke" made the blood on the concubine's face lose all the color, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the emperor gave clothes, this is a very honorable thing, not only her, but also the empress, but also dressed to attend, and Liuyan, so elegant, dressed in a white shirt, full of rejection of the emperor's kindness, but even in front of the hundred officials in front of the harem concubines, so refuted the emperor's face, but the emperor is so light and light, without the slightest sense of blame.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened the concubine became, and finally, as if she had made a decision, she glanced at the personal maid who had been waiting behind the curtain for a long time.
A figure slowly disappeared into the darkness, and the concubine slowly exhaled, and the whole person was unexpectedly relaxed.
Yes, she decided to send Liu Yan out of the palace, and she had to leave the palace.
If she was still hesitant before, she still had murderous intentions towards Liu Yan, but at this moment, Liu Yan showed her intentions, and the emperor also expressed her thoughts.
If she didn't do it, she wouldn't have a chance.
But she didn't know that her maid had just left the Yixin Palace to arrange for Liu Yan to leave the palace, and behind her, two little eunuchs quietly followed.
After three rounds of drinking, the emperor was a little drunk, he hadn't drunk so carelessly for a long time, although his mind was very clear, his heart was a little drunk.
Raising her eyes, her eyes fell on the white-clothed figure of His Highness again, and only then did she appear, at this moment, she had already gotten up, and her white shirt was stained with a touch of wine, she looked a little flustered, got up and said something to the person beside her, and then got up and left first.
The emperor retracted his gaze, and it seemed that Liu Yan was going back to change his clothes.
However, for some reason, at this moment, the emperor was in a panic in his heart, and hurriedly raised his head, wanting to keep Liuyan, but such a pretty back had disappeared around the corner, and his heart was empty all of a sudden, and he felt that at this moment, he had completely lost her and would never see him again.
The Emperor struggled to compose himself, telling himself that this was the Imperial Palace, his Imperial Palace, and that no one could take her away from him.
And he, just wait for the future, she willingly becomes his woman, it can even allow her to take the throne, but...
Not daring to think about it, the emperor took a sip of wine again to calm himself down, and then he realized that the hall had become quiet at some point, and the dancing girl in the center of the hall had retreated, and the music had stopped, leaving only a man in a military uniform and covered in blood.
The eyebrows are clear and handsome, but the eyebrows are too sharp, and the anger is terrifying.
"General Rou."
I don't know who broke the silence with a low cry.
Then there were cheers, one after another.
"General Rou is invincible and invincible."
"General Rou has won the battle, look at how arrogant Dayan is!"
“......”
For these praises, Rou Gangyu didn't pay attention to them, and just looked at the emperor fixedly.
And the emperor was also looking at him, and an extremely bad premonition came to his heart.
The victory on the front line was already expected by him, but according to the distance, Rou Gangyu would not return to Beijing until four days at the earliest, even if he returned to Beijing, Qiu Zheng should return to him a day earlier, so as not to let him come back so quietly and appear quietly in the main hall.
And Qiu Zheng, since six days ago, there has been no news.
The Emperor shifted his gaze from Rou Gangyu's face to his waist, where a scimitar glowed with cold light.
Entering the palace with a sword, even if Rou Gangyu was once the commander of the forbidden army in front of the emperor, there was no such precedent.
The emperor forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and asked pretending to be relaxed: "Aiqing is back." ”
"Yes." Rou Gangyu replied simply, without saluting, without bowing, and his tone was so blunt.
The people above the hall finally appeared in the wrong place, but at this moment, they were frightened by the bloodthirsty aura of Rou Gangyu, and no one dared to speak at will, and the hall was quiet and terrifying.
"Zhang Fuhai, give me a seat." The emperor frowned slightly, but he didn't turn his face in the spot, patiently, suppressed the uneasiness and anger in his heart, and glanced at Zhang Fuhai.
Zhang Fuhai realized that since Rou Gangyu appeared on the top of the main hall, he had already sent someone to notify the forbidden army to come, just in case.
But today is the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, except for the 200 forbidden troops on duty in the palace, the rest of the garrisons are outside the palace and are on standby at any time.
If you leave the palace at this moment, I am afraid that it will be too late, I just hope that these two hundred forbidden troops can withstand a moment and a half, or they are too nervous and too suspicious.
Zhang Fuhai walked down the hall, the attendants brought chairs, Zhang Fuhai greeted Rou Gangyu with a smile and said: "General Rou has worked hard, please sit down and eat first." ”
Rou Gangyu moved his gaze to Zhang Fuhai's body, his face was as cold as ever, "No need, take this to the emperor, and Weichen will present the emperor's gift." ”
Hearing this, although Zhang Fuhai was a little surprised, he still responded in a low voice: "Okay." ”
Beside Rou Gangyu, at some point, a soldier wearing armor and a sword at his waist appeared, holding a black wooden box in his hand and handing it to Zhang Fuhai.
Zhang Fuhai took it easily, and it was a little heavy, and above the main hall, the eyes of the civil and military officials were all focused on the black wooden box.
Finally, the wooden box was placed in front of the emperor's table, and the emperor looked at Rou Gangyu with a sinister face, and the soldier with a knife behind him, and his face instantly became gloomy.
"Open."
"Yes." Zhang Fuhai responded, and then slowly opened the wooden box, and the next moment, the emperor violently lifted the table, with horror, anger, and disbelief on his face.
The table flew away, and a bloody human head was lying on the ground, and his eyes were wide open, with great unwillingness.
"Qiu.. Qiu Zheng! Your Highness, a person couldn't help but exclaim.
The hundred officials aimed their eyes at the place of birth, and it was Wu Gang who opened his mouth.
Except for him, no one in this court knew Qiu Zheng, and at this moment, his head was presented to the emperor as a gift.
Others may not know why, but Wu Gang understood in an instant, Rou Gangyu, this is going to be the opposite.
In the middle of the ring, the emperor gradually calmed down, except for the gloomy and terrifying face, the side was the same as usual.
"Who killed him?" It can be seen that Qiu Zheng was extremely frightened and unwilling before he died, and the person who killed him should be extremely unexpected.
Rou Gangyu?
Although he is strong in martial arts and good at scheming, he is definitely not Qiu Zheng's opponent, or a hundred forbidden troops, if Qiu Zheng wants to escape, he can be safe and sound.
This is also the direct reason why Qiu Zheng can become the emperor's confidant, in Dayong, Qiu Zheng's kung fu, no one can compete, but now, he was so quietly beheaded off.
Who is it?
The next moment, a gentle and gentle figure jumped into view, dressed in military uniform, holding a long sword, heroic posture, handsome face, but with a hint of awe-inspiring air, which was very different from the usual appearance of white clothes dancing like jade.
He was flanked by a young boy, young but with a look of determination and a hint of maturity that did not match his age.
Xianwang, Yuan Tianzhi.
Marquis Jingyuan, Baili Jin.
"It's you." The Emperor's voice was extremely hoarse, with a hint of chagrin, resentment and incomprehension.
In the end, he still underestimated this Hou Ye, but he didn't expect that behind his gentle back, he would be so sharp, slashing Qiu Zheng, it seems that this Dayong's No. 1 master must be him.
It was hidden so deeply, so arranged, and it still failed.
The child didn't die at the border, Rou Gangyu took him and returned with 200,000 soldiers.
It seems that this country.
It's about to change hands.
On the top of the main hall, Baiguan was shocked, Baili Jin has always been an extremely natural existence in the court, but just because he doesn't care about political affairs, he is only in awe, and there is not much fear.
Until this moment, the man in a military uniform and carrying a long sword really made them feel cold, and above the main hall, the crows were silent and quiet, and even the restless heartbeat of the hundred officials was clear.
Whether it was Wu Gang or the newly cultivated forces of the emperor, no one spoke, only lowered their heads, and did not dare to compete with a few people in the palace.
There are only four people, but they are better than thousands of troops.
"You are so daring! Carry a sword to the palace, and if you don't have a monarch, you should be punished. The queen got up from the phoenix chair, raised her hand and pointed at Bai Li Jin, and glared at Bai Guan menacingly.
She is the queen of Dayong, even if no one dares to speak out now, but Guiwei, the mother of the country, he can't help but maintain the majesty of the royal family.
Even if she already knew, what she was doing was nothing more than a battle of trapped beasts.
It was not until this moment that the emperor slowly moved his gaze to the queen, who was the mother of the country from a big family, and this majestic momentum was hundreds of times stronger than that of ordinary women.
It's a pity.
The emperor stepped forward and stood on top of the main hall, his face as proud as when he ascended the throne five years ago.
"Are you going to do the opposite? Is it? ”
The voice was indifferent, looking around at the hundreds of officials hanging in the hall, the cold glint in his eyes was eager to turn into a sword, and he would turn these cowards into a delay.
In the end, his eyes met with His Royal Highness's Bai Lijin, with a hint of provocation in his eyes.
"The faint king has no way, kills the loyal and good indiscriminately, and mutilates the innocent, and it should be crusaded." Bai Lijin said the emperor's accusations word by word, and there was also a bloodthirsty cold glint in his eyes.
"Oh? I have been on the throne for five years, the wind and rain in Dayong are smooth, the country and the people are safe, how can there be no way? Corporal Zhen Lixian, respect the teacher, how to indiscriminately kill the loyal and good and harm the innocent? ”
Hearing this, the hundred officials also muttered in their hearts, the emperor ascended the throne, it is indeed meritorious, in the past five years, Dayong is strong, stable in the Three Kingdoms, the emperor is indispensable, above the government, it is also a clear and clear, in addition to the emperor's moodiness, suppressing the elders of the three dynasties, deterring the family to make many clans cold, next to it, can be called a good emperor.
Bai Lijin didn't speak again, but clapped his hands gently, and above the main hall, he slowly walked up to another person, his face was twisted and terrifying, but his body was tall and strong, standing side by side with Rou Gangyu, and in terms of posture and momentum, it was a little similar.
"Who are you?" The emperor's tone is not good, no one dares to stop him from entering and leaving at will in the Yixin Palace, it seems that now this imperial city is also in charge of others.
It's just that he didn't want to admit it, so he tried to delay time and wait for the rescue of the 20,000 soldiers stationed outside the city.
"The emperor doesn't recognize me?" The voice of the person who came was indifferent, without a trace of warmth, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Rou Gangyu trembled, his eyes flashed with tears, and he looked at the emperor with undisguised hatred and killing intent in his eyes.
"You!!" The Emperor took a step back, his eyes filled with shock.
"I am the deputy general of King Xian six years ago, who was hunted down to the north street of the capital five years ago, burned by fire, ravaged by the plague, and survived until now."
"Rou Chiwa? The deputy general of King Xian, the eldest son of the Rou family! ”
The hundred officials were shocked, and they focused their eyes on the spear wood, at Rou Gangyu, and finally at the emperor.
The vice-president of King Xian was hunted down for six years, and it seems that the death of King Xian was really deliberately committed by someone, and this person is today's son.
"You're not dead." The emperor's face was pale, and he looked at the expressions of the hundred officials, whether questioning or surprised or angry, and he knew that today, he was completely defeated.
"Today, I beheaded you, do you have any complaints?" The one who opened his mouth was Yuan Tianzhi, who had been silent, and at this moment, he raised his eyes, bloodshot, obviously a teenager, but he had a sense of vicissitudes.
After so many days of hard work, he was already exhausted, but the thought of being able to kill his father and enemy with his hands at this moment made it all worth it.
Above the main hall, murderous soldiers poured into the main hall, for the remnants of the Xianwang Army, each holding a long knife, standing behind Yuan Tianzhi.
"Kill."
Under an order, Yuan Tianzhi, Rou Gangyu, and Rou Qianhe went to the palace with the army, with an indomitable momentum.
None of the officers dared to say anything, and they were all paralyzed to the ground by the frightening frightens of these bloodthirsty soldiers.
"Killing my sister to marry Marquis Jingyuan is despicable and shameless. Kill. ”
The queen and the emperor stood side by side, standing in place, holding on to the slightest moment, and the concubine had already fainted in fright, Zhang Fuhai was sealed by a sword, and blood was splashed on the hall.
The next sword goes down.
Dayong changed the dynasty.
....
Finally, the childish child who stabbed the enemy fainted directly, and the two brothers Rou Qian and Rou Gangyu left with the childish child first, and Bai Lijin was responsible for the aftermath.
At this moment, Bai Lijin searched all over the hall, but he couldn't find that familiar figure.
My heart panicked for a moment.
"Stream... Liuyan... Where are you? ”
