Chapter 230: Feng Pavilion is in danger
Eight fat and fat sergeants also struck a row of drums in the drum tower at the same time, and the eight people moved in unison, each hammer struck with a uniform rhythmic beauty.
The servants who are responsible for beating the drums and raising the bells in various places in Lin'an City have been waiting there for a long time inexplicably, and the bells and drums on the Tianmen and the side of the Hongluan Pavilion rang, and the bells and drums of the city should be harmonized at the same time, and for a time the bells and drums echoed in the sky over the entire Lin'an City.
While...... While...... While......
Boom! Boom! Boom! Knock knock knock......
The doubts of the officials in front of the noon gate disappeared, and they sorted out their clothes one after another, arranged them neatly, and prepared to wait for the noon gate to open and enter the palace to see the driver.
While...... While...... While......
Boom! Boom! Boom! Knock knock knock......
On the north side of the palace city, the Yulin army in ambush in Yuanbi City, Yaoyi City and the warehouse cellar poured out and swooped down in front of the noon gate along both sides of the palace.
Tian Qiniang, who was sitting on the throne, listened to the continuous sound of bells and drums, her cheeks suddenly twitched a few times, and her fingers clenched the secret letter tightly until it was crumpled into a ball, and suddenly threw it to the ground.
In this secret letter, someone made an appointment with the crown prince to mutiny, forcing the queen to abdicate and supporting the crown prince to restore Jiang Qi. There are many people involved in the secret letter, and there are three prime ministers alone, Guan Bo, Li Xingzhi, and Wu Sizhu, this Li Xingzhi and Wu Sizhu are still newly added doctors, and there are also Si Liqing Pei Xuanli, Zhongcheng Ouyang Zhen and others.
Whether she believes it or not, she has to take precautions immediately, and she believes it!
Wei Wuzhi died, Su Liangsi died, and Zheng Cheng Youyou died...... How can these prime ministers not feel the sadness of the dead rabbit and the fox? In order to protect himself, in order to avoid Bu Wei ignorance, Su Liangsi, Zheng Cheng You You and others from following in their footsteps. They are not impossible. What's more, Uncle Guan, Ouyang Zhen and others were originally interested in Jiang Qi.
Tian Qiniang is a generation of queens, unprecedented queens. Of course, she has her wise, domineering and powerful side. But behind this powerful and admirable that everyone looks up to, there is a strong lack of self-confidence, and the reason is still: she is a woman!
Ji Si Chen, something that has never happened since ancient times, this Manchu official, are the men of the world really convinced? Are these men really willing to crawl at her feet?
Uncle Guan. There was no him among the officials who were persuaded at the beginning, and there was still no him among the officials who ascended the throne as the queen and congratulated him, was he really loyal to himself?
Li Xingzhi. When Zheng Cheng You You was the secretary of the Junfang Liugong Palace, he was Zheng Cheng You Youyou's deputy, and the relationship between the two has always been friendly, but this time Zheng Cheng You You died tragically in prison. He doesn't have any ideas?
and Ouyang Zhen. The last time Jiang Jingzhen was in the case. It involved him, Jun Xiachen once said that Ouyang Zhen was also an accomplice in the betrayal of the party, although Jun Xiachen did some big rebellious things for his own selfish interests, but his talent is still very strong, could it be that what he said at the beginning was true?
Tian Qiniang has ascended to the throne of queen step by step from a mother, and has been obstructed by officials in the DPRK and China in every way. In the process of her ascending the throne and becoming king, she encountered a fierce counterattack from Jiang Qi's clan and ministers. Those clan marquis, those officials who boasted of Jiang Qi's loyalty, and those who hated her to the core, made her heart like a frightened bird.
Behind the fact that she is far stronger and more domineering than those male kings, what is hidden is her fear and lack of self-confidence that is far stronger and more sensitive than these male kings.
In addition, she was assassinated in the palace at the beginning, and it was obvious that the generals of the forbidden army secretly cooperated, and so on, which made her more and more sensitive. She has always been known for her shrewdness and wisdom, and she is always believed by some treasonous information, which is a strong reflection of her mentality.
Especially in the past two years, her body has deteriorated, and her old age can no longer be concealed, and this fear is even more obvious.
She was well aware that there were many officials waiting to peck at her corpse like a dead vulture waiting for its dying and struggling prey; She knew that those surviving Jiang Qi clansmen, even her two biological sons, were waiting for her to return to heaven as soon as possible; The sons and nephews of the Tian family, who relied on her for glory and wealth, were also impatiently calculating the time of her death, and they were bent on grabbing more power, even ...... Her throne.
She fears death, the loss of power, the betrayal of her courtiers, the abandonment of her courtiers, and the only way she can hold on to this qiē is to slaughter, and only by bloodshed and death can everyone remember: she is still the ruler of this kingdom!
If she is afraid, she has to make others more afraid than her, because she is a queen, she is a queen of no one before!
In front of the palace gate, the hundred officials watched the three prime ministers and many ministers arrested one by one, and they were only stunned.
Jingyun Bell and Wentian Drum rang eight hundred times, this was a long process, and the hundred officials watched in amazement as the Prime Minister, Doctor Shang and others were arrested one by one in the sound of bells and drums, and watched the dust in the distance, and the thousands of troops and horses that suddenly appeared were killed into the distance.
Jun Xiachen also opened his mouth to stammer, this kind of dramatic scene, he also saw it for the first time: he just killed three prime ministers, and in just a few days, he caught three more prime ministers, what a big deal! It's still a king! Jun Xia Chen thought with admiration.
At this moment, a gap opened in the noon gate, and the servant Xiaohai came out, glanced at the crowd, and said loudly: The king has a decree, and the ministers of Chengjun in the history of Xuanyu will see you in Hongluan Pavilion!
Obey the order!
Jun Xiachen was in good spirits, and immediately knew that his business had come to the door, so he quickly agreed and squeezed out of the crowd.
Jun Xia Chen hurriedly ascended to the Hongluan Pavilion and saw Tian Qiniang.
Tian Qiniang, whom Jun Xia saw her, looked calm and calm, as if she didn't even know about such a major event as the sudden arrest of the three prime ministers outside the noon gate.
That kind of calmness and calmness made Jun Xia Chen feel a sense of surrender and awe from the bottom of his heart when he saw it. Yes, this old woman who is high above is a queen, a queen who has never been a queen since Yan Huang, but in the eyes of Jun Xiachen, she has never been regarded as a woman.
He wondered why some officials who seemed to be wise and smart didn't agree with the king because she was a woman, Jun Xiachen had never had any troubles in this regard, he didn't think there was anything rebellious about a woman being a king, could it be that the sky would fall?
All he knew was. This woman is the most powerful person in the world, and he was originally a prisoner, but today he can turn countless princes and generals into his own prisoners. This power comes from this amazing woman, so he is deeply in awe of this woman.
Jun Xia Chen entered the Hongluan Pavilion, lifted his robe, knelt on his knees, kowtowed respectfully, and said loudly: Chen Jun and his minister. Knock on the king!
The courtiers did not have to bow down at every turn, even in the most solemn and sacred Nuwa Palace, they all had their own seats. Ministers and kings can sit and talk about government. Only the ministers, every time they saw the queen, they respectfully bowed.
When he first met the queen, the queen was not yet a queen. And he was a prisoner who had just been released. That time. He was sincerely afraid, and he knelt and bowed, and since then he has been a servant of the imperial history, until today he has become the imperial historian...... Since then until now, whether it is Tian Qiniang back then or today's king, he has always knelt and bowed.
Usually, Tian Qiniang doesn't care much about this kind of solemn gift, and every time she sees him salute so solemnly, she has to laugh and say a few words to him. And this time. Tian Qiniang didn't say anything.
The three prime ministers and several powerful officials participated in the rebellion, if it weren't for her luck to intercept the secret letters sent by these people to Zixing Palace. Probably late at night. The sudden mutiny of the ministers seized her country and imprisoned her in the cold palace, which made her still a little afraid.
At this moment, seeing the handsome ministers who were as respectful as seeing the gods, Tian Qiniang felt some comfort in her heart: loyal courtiers still exist after all.
As a result, Tian Qiniang's tone was also rarely softened: Qing, there are courtiers who rebel. Last night, they submitted a letter to Zixing Palace, and they met three days later. Mutiny forced the palace, forced the old woman to abdicate, and supported the crown prince to regain Qi, the old woman has already arrested some people, and these old women will be handed over to you!
Obey the order!
Jun Xiachen, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately kowtowed heavily, his face was pious, but his heart was in ecstasy. He loved to torture people, especially those who were originally high and powerful, and he liked to watch these powerful people weep and scream and beg for forgiveness without dignity under his torture rack. The thought of this made his blood boil.
Tian Qiniang said: The old woman wants you to find out, and the most important thing is that if the rebellion is true, how many people are still their comrades!
Tian Qiniang leaned forward slightly, and said in an accentuated tone: This matter is very important! The old woman doesn't want to live in fear every day, and she doesn't want to be in her sleep, when a rebel army invades the old woman's bedroom and forces the old woman to abdicate!
Jun Xia Chen kowtowed again, and said solemnly: The minister obeys the order, and the minister will find out all the accomplices of the traitorous party, so that the king can sit back and relax, and let my Daqi Society be as stable as Mount Tai!
Tian Qiniang said in a deep voice: Rather be in vain!
Promise!
Tian Qiniang waved her hand, Jun Xiachen kowtowed again, got up, bowed and retreated step by step, until he withdrew from the palace gate, and then turned to leave.
Tian Qiniang looked at the back of Jun Xiachen's departure, and leisurely came out of her mind for a while, and said abruptly: There are always people who want to betray the old woman! Guan Bo and these people were just humble officials back then, they were cultivated by the old woman, and it was the old woman who made them from humble to noble, dressed in vermilion purple, and extremely popular ministers. I didn't expect them to have a little more wings, so they wanted to take away the old woman's country!
Pei Kun said cautiously: King, the truth has not been ascertained yet, let's wait for Zhongcheng to interrogate!
Tian Qiniang shook her head and said astringently: Will it be fake? Over the years, the ministers have rebelled again and again, and which time has they not gotten their credentials? They don't like women to be kings, no matter how good old women are to them! Just like Uncle Guan, the old woman respects him as a friend, and the old woman calls him an old man of the country, and she respects him well......
When Tian Qiniang said this, she suddenly choked up.
Pei Kun owes herself and doesn't know how to comfort the sad queen.
At this time, Tian Youji was dressed in military uniform and strode into the Hongluan Pavilion. Although this Mrs. Mu has been indulging in wine recently, her foundation is not bad after all, and in front of Tian Qiniang, he does not dare to show a tired and sluggish appearance, so he looks very heroic.
As soon as he saw Tian Qiniang, Tian Youji immediately crossed his hands and gave a military salute, and said in a deep voice: "King, Zuo Yuxuan, the general Zhang Qianxuan, Fengchen Weilang, Guan Guangyuan, and other rebels in the army have been taken, and the minister Tian Youji has come to reply!"
Tian Qiniang said happily: Immediately hand them over to the ministers of Yushi Zuo Chengjun!
Tian Youji said: No!
Hearing that the accomplices of the traitorous party in the army had been arrested, Tian Qiniang's expression was much more relaxed, and she stretched out her hand to Pei Kun and said: Xiao Kun, accompany the old woman back to the palace!
Be!
Pei Kun hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Tian Qiniang's arm, she felt that the queen's arm was particularly weak today.
……
When Jun Xia returned to the Imperial Observatory, he heard that the ministers who had been arrested at the palace gate had arrived, and immediately ordered him to ascend to the hall, and he was already a little impatient.
After Guan Bo and others were arrested, they already knew about their charges. They were still speculating about who was framing him, whether it was Tian Chengqian, who jumped over the wall in a hurry, or Tian Sansi, who now finally hoped to become the crown prince, who was taken to Taiwan Prison, and they immediately knew that something was wrong.
Taiwan Prison is a prison system that belongs to the Imperial History Terrace, and those who enter this gate will not be able to save zài, so it is called the Broken Soul Gate by the hundred officials, which means that once you enter this door, it will be over. They were taken here, and it seemed that they had no chance to plead their case before the king.
Soon, they were escorted into the hall, and the ministers looked at them eagerly, just as a wanderer who had been away from his homeland for many years saw his own brother, or a poor man who had been a bachelor for eight lifetimes, and suddenly married a beautiful daughter-in-law, and at the sight of his eager and greedy gaze, several ministers felt a chill in their hearts and fell into the hands of this madman.
The general trend is gone!
Sitting behind the judgment table, when he saw the ministers being escorted to the hall, he smiled proudly and commanded: Come on! Verify your identity!
Judge Jiang Mengjie took two officials, insisted on books, asked each person's name and surname one by one, and turned to report to Junxia's ministers: Back to Zhongcheng, the conspiracy to commit the crime is to be the doctor, Tongping Fengge is the ruling uncle, Li Xingzhi, Wu Sizhu, Zhongcheng Ouyang Zhen, a total of four people, have been brought and verified to be correct!
Jun Xiachen slapped the startled wood and shouted: Come on! Strip them of their garments and kneel before the church to be judged!
Wait!
Zhongcheng Ouyang couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted vigorously: Jun Xia Chen, my dynasty system, the minister sues the case, before the decision is made, you must not go to the clothes first, you dare to break the laws of my court!
Jun Xiachen is the left of the imperial history, Ouyang Zhen is the right of the imperial history, one of the two is responsible for supervising the military and civilians in Beijing, and the other is responsible for supervising the officials of the state capitals and counties, both at the same level and colleagues, but the two have never had much contact, and they don't look at each other very well.
Listening to Ouyang Xin's words, Jun Xia Chen sneered and said disdainfully: These rules, do you still use you Ouyang Zhongcheng to teach these rules? However, when the official asks about the case, there is never anything that cannot be determined! Excuse me, in this official court, who dares not to admit guilt! (To be continued......)
