Chapter Two Hundred and One
An Mingxia entered the main hall, led by the palace people, and entered the inner hall, and he did not shy away from it-, Qingchen saw that his father was still busy for her late at night, and he felt very guilty. She sat up and asked the palace attendant to bring a mahogany round stool and place it beside the bed. As soon as An Mingxia saw Qingchen's pale face, she frowned, and asked distressedly, "What's wrong with Chen'er?" But feeling unwell? "Her daughter is usually strong and strong, and since she followed Ran to learn art, she has never even had a minor illness or pain.
An Qingchen didn't hide it from him, and said: "Just before my father entered the palace, Liu Ruyuan came to Fengxiang Hall with a group of old ministers, saying that he received a secret report that Zhou Xiao had fallen into thistle water, and now his life and death are uncertain......
"Is the emperor's move intentional?"
"Whether he wants it or not, our situation is very passive now, and my daughter wants to hear her father's opinion."
"That Liu Ruyuan means ......"
"That old fox wants me to take the initiative to welcome King Rui into Beijing, and he uses the common people in the world as an excuse."
"Don't worry, the military power in Kyoto is in the hands of my father, my son can sit firmly in the high hall, as for the rebels outside the city, it shouldn't be a problem for my father to resist for ten days and a half months."
Hearing An Mingxia say this, Qingchen's heart was a lot more stable, she knew that only the military power was in hand, and those ministers couldn't make any big waves, and then, she suddenly remembered and said, "Father, my daughter is pregnant." ā
An Mingxia was overjoyed when she heard this: "Is this serious? ā
"The imperial doctor has just diagnosed it, but my daughter is still a little worried, and now it is a troubled time......"
"My son may rest assured that there is a Father. will definitely keep your mother and son safe, just Zhou Yun, and the father is not in his eyes. "An Mingxia has only one daughter in this life. Although this daughter is also outstanding, who doesn't want to have children and grandchildren, and now when she hears that her daughter is pregnant, she is overjoyed, and she can't hide her smugness. Qingchen felt that at this time, his gentle father was actually a little arrogant.
"I'm going home and tell your mother the good news!" After saying that, he raised his feet and left.
Qingchen opened his mouth to stop him, but unfortunately it was too late. She finally invited him into the palace, but he was fine and left without giving any advice. Qingchen sighed. Fell down on the bed, pulled up the brocade quilt to cover himself, or had a good night's sleep. The hateful Zhou Xiao walked away by himself. Leave such a mess for her to clean up. No matter what, it's a big deal to die again, maybe you can go back to the 21st century...... Thinking like this, my heart suddenly relaxed, not to mention, there is also her almighty God of War father behind her, no matter how bad it is, you can also go to Qingliang Temple to find the great monk. Follow him to Yun You......
Qingchen smiled and fell asleep, dreamless all night. I slept soundly.
It wasn't until the second day that the palace people called and suddenly realized that there was still a court meeting today. She hurriedly dressed, and when she got to the front hall, the old ministers in the court were already waiting anxiously. Before entering the door, Qingchen slowed down and adjusted his breathing, losing nothing and losing momentum.
Seeing Qingchen coming slowly, Liu Ruyuan expected that she must be delaying time, but no matter how she delayed, she couldn't wait for Zhou Xiao to come, and their plan was foolproof.
Qingchen walked up to the high platform, sat down in the special seat for her on the edge of the dragon chair, and said, "The ministers came so early. Sweeping down, she saw her father's beaming face, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise slightly.
The following said in unison: "The ministers are afraid! Qingchen understands that in fact, these old ministers have long scolded her for nothing, but it doesn't matter, she is not a good person.
Before she could sit down, Liu Ruyuan spoke: "The old minister's mention last night, I don't know how the queen thought about it?" ā
Qingchen raised his eyebrows and smiled brightly: "Oh, Taifu Liu's mention last night, this palace has already thought about it carefully, but above this court, there are still some ministers who don't know much about Taifu Liu's mention, can you ask Taifu to tell you again clearly." ā
Liu Ruyuan snorted angrily, shook his sleeves, and said: "The minister got a secret report last night, and Jin Longwei personally proved that the emperor fell into Jishui in Jizhou, and his current whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are uncertain. Lao Chen felt that King Rui and the emperor were both flesh and blood of the first emperor, the emperor and King Rui had a deep brotherhood, and there were no heirs, if the emperor had three long and two short, he would definitely be willing to inherit the unification. Moreover, now that King Rui's army has surrounded Kyoto, if he really wants to fight, he is afraid that the lives will be ruined, and it is the people who will suffer. Therefore, the old minister dared to raise yƬ and welcome King Rui into the city to benefit the common people in the world. ā
The more Qingchen listened, the more angry he became, and the more he felt that this Liu Ruyuan was hateful: "Ministers, what Mrs. Liu means is that we will not resist and welcome the traitors into the city; He wants the palace to ignore the life and death of his husband and bow to the enemy; According to Mrs. Liu's intentions, the emperor and King Rui have a deep brotherly relationship, so why does King Rui disregard the feelings of his brothers and sisters and want to rebel; Why did King Rui ignore the common people in the world and provoke smoke. Now, Mrs. Liu wants the palace to welcome this unsympathetic and narrow-minded person into Kyoto, and reign over the world, does Mrs. Liu want to be the prince of the country and go crazy. ā
The old ministers who were originally standing on Liu Ruyuan's side heard An Qingchen's words, and suddenly cold sweat trickled down, why are the people sitting in the high hall today and the two of them when they were in the Fengxiang Hall last night, it seems that this queen is not a soft persimmon that can be kneaded by others, and there is also An Mingxia, the god of war of the Great Zhou Dynasty, behind her, there is the General's Mansion, there is the Imperial City Guard, and there are 100,000 troops defending the city. Even if you can't deal with the 200,000 rebels outside the city, it is more than enough to deal with their old bones, I heard that a few days ago, several people who wanted to join the rebels died violently overnight, and it was also the queen's handiwork, when I thought of this, I couldn't help but my heart and lungs began to tremble.
Liu Ruyuan's face was red when he heard this, his whole body trembled, he stretched out his hand to point at Qingchen, and said, "You, you demon woman, you don't care about the life and death of the people!" ā
Qingchen snorted coldly and sneered: "Liu Ruyuan, when you dream of your country, you should think about it first, do you have that life!" Qingchen paused for a moment, and then said: "Oh, I forgot to tell Mrs. Liu, the palace is happy, the emperor has his own heirs, even if he really can't come back, it won't be his turn Zhou Yun to sit on this dragon chair!" After speaking, he raised his hand and waved, and said: "Praetorian Guard, take this traitor and fellow party who disturb the morale of the army down and put him in prison." Waiting for the drop. "Without military power, it is equivalent to hitting a stone with an egg, and Qingchen disdains it in his heart. After so many years of mixing in officialdom, I don't even understand this, it's really a fool, but maybe I'm too sure of myself.
The queen is happy! The people who made trouble in Fengxiang Hall last night were even more panicked, they thought that they had the chance to win, but in fact, they were confident that they were smiling like flowers. But the queen who is ruthless.
The Praetorian Guards stepped forward, twisted Liu Ruyuan's hands, and led him away from the front hall. Without this leader. The rest of the servants began to stand respectfully. Qingchen's sharp eyes swept over everyone standing below, obviously a pair of clear and beautiful eyes, why did people feel that their faces were as painful as a knife, and everyone lowered their heads unconsciously. Qingchen asked aloud again, "What do you think of Mrs. Liu's mentions?" Should we open our doors to the thieves? ā
The ministers below replied in unison: "The ministers swear to live and die with Kyoto!" "Everyone was taken away. Who would dare to disobey this queen.
Good. It's good, it's like a court.
"General An obeys orders!"
"The minister is here!" His daughter, his baby, really grew up.
"Immediately reorganize the 100,000 defenders of Kyoto and prepare for battle. In the afternoon, the main palace will patrol the army! ā
"Commandment."
"Fu Shangshu listens to orders."
"The minister is here!"
"From now on, close the gates of Kyoto on all sides, and not a single fly will fly in."
"Command!"
"Praetorian Commander obeys orders!"
"The minister is here!"
"From today onwards, we will strengthen the defense of the forbidden palace and enter a state of emergency preparedness, and we must patrol continuously for twelve hours."
"Command!"
"The head of the household is still listening."
"The minister is here!"
"Urgently mobilize all the food in Kyoto. First of all, the supply of military rations is guaranteed, but it is not allowed to rob the people of food. You can pay for it then. ā
"Command!"
After a series of orders were issued, the people dispersed and took their place. If Qingchen is not bad, Zhou Yun's siege of the city will be in the near future.
returned to Fengxiang Palace, but met the Empress Dowager Liu, who was already waiting there. Qingchen was very surprised, since the last unhappy breakup, Empress Dowager Liu has not shown up for a long time.
Out of courtesy, Qingchen still squatted down and asked Andao: "The daughter-in-law visits the queen mother." ā
"Get up and sit down!" To Qingchen's surprise, this time Empress Dowager Liu was very pleasant.
Qingchen sat down not far from her, waiting for her to explain her intentions.
"I heard that Xiao'er fell into the thistle water, and her life and death are uncertain?"
"Queen Mother, don't listen to rumors!" At this time, Qingchen couldn't determine the authenticity of the news, so he could only comfort the mother like this.
"Yesterday, Mrs. Liu Fu ...... Brought someone into the palace? ā
"Yes, he asked me to open the city gate wide and welcome Zhou Yun into Kyoto." For Empress Dowager Liu, Qingchen felt that there was nothing to hide.
"Brother has gone too far this time!" Empress Dowager Liu obviously didn't expect Liu Ruyuan to force the palace directly.
"I have ordered him to be put in prison." Qingchen's face was not red, and he said without panting, could he have done too much only this time? Maybe Zhou Yun will rebel, it's all his picking.
"And what is the queen's plan?"
Qingchen glanced at the Empress Dowager Liu, who was sitting on the top seat, and was a little unclear about her position, and said tentatively: "According to the queen mother's opinion, what should the daughter-in-law plan?" ā
"No matter what the queen's plan is, the mourning family must think of a way to save Xiao'er. I can't let my grandson be without a father before he is born. ā
The news spread really fast, it seems that there are no secrets in this forbidden palace, since Empress Dowager Liu has expressed her attitude, it means that she is a friend rather than an enemy.
"The queen mother's thoughts are also the thoughts of the daughter-in-law, please rest assured that the emperor will be fine." Xiao Anzi did not send back the news, at least it means that Zhou Xiao's life is fine, "Kyoto, the daughter-in-law will definitely defend it." ā
Empress Dowager Liu looked at the firm eyes of the woman in front of her, and for the first time felt that her son's vision was really good.
Empress Dowager Liu nodded, stood up, and was about to leave, when she suddenly saw a fire in the sky west of Kyoto, followed by a roar that shook the sky. Qingchen was shocked, and walked quickly to the door to look: the rebels have begun to attack the city!
"Queen Mother, please go back to the dormitory first, and the daughter-in-law must leave the palace immediately and patrol with the general."
Empress Dowager Liu glanced at the sky worriedly and said, "Be careful of the child in the womb......"
Qingchen nodded, cast a lost step, and walked away quickly.
Empress Dowager Liu only felt that the figure in front of her flickered, and Qingchen had already arrived three miles away...... (To be continued.) )
