The next day, before dawn, the messengers of the Tang clan began to call everywhere, asking the generals to gather at the gate and set off collectively to participate in the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky.

The leaders of the Tang clan also appeared one after another, but big people like the eldest patriarch Tang Qiong and the second patriarch Tang Ning had already gone out in a sedan chair.

Xiaohuan helped Chen Mu freshen up and put on his dress.

Chen Mu walked out of the house, followed the team, and headed towards Shangyang Palace.

On the way, Chen Mu felt that something was wrong, as if someone was always staring at him.

——

The ceremony was extremely grand.

Nine gold-armored warriors from the Ministry of Rites escorted His Majesty the Emperor to the Temple of Heaven, and the whole salute process was solemn.

The young Tianci Emperor, with nine crowns on his head, wore a black background gold dragon pattern Xuan Yi robe, a white Luo belt, a yellow knees, a plain yarn middle single, and red boots. The outfit is quite heavy. From the hour to noon, the entire ceremony was completed with one hundred and eight processes.

After two hours, the little emperor looked a little tired. However, he was still very obedient, and with the assistance of the eunuch Si Li, he did it seriously step by step.

Empress Dowager Chen attended in the dress of the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager was solemn and glamorous. The momentum that shocked the world on the Queen Mother was by no means comparable to ordinary people. The great master Cheng Wannu, although he is old, his eyes are like torches, his steps are brisk, and he does not leave the queen mother anytime and anywhere.

Chen Mu squinted his eyes and watched the Queen Mother from a distance.

This woman is now the center of imperial power, because the three major lords have begun to attack Zhao Tong, Zhao Tong can't bear it, and begs for mercy from his "cousin", and now the Empress Dowager Chen is in power, and more than half of the 200,000 Xuanjia troops are in hand.

"Excuse me, which one is called Chen Mu?"

An old eunuch walked over, and his face didn't look particularly good.

Looking at the level of this eunuch, it is not low, so everyone did not dare to offend, and there was a guide from the Tang family's celebrant to see Chen Mu.

When I asked, I realized that this old eunuch was not an outsider, but Li Xian's godfather, Shangshan Supervisor Palm Seal Li Shunchang.

Seeing the palm print of Shangshan Superintendent, Chen Mu immediately understood the meaning, and without waiting for Gonggong Li to ask, Chen Mu took the initiative to say: "Li Xian's matter will be handled when I go back to Zhangye this time." ”

Gonggong Li's originally heavy face immediately appeared with a smile: "I like to deal with smart people." Xiao Chen, if you become a Tang family general at such a young age, you will definitely have a bright future. With your back to a tree, you can eat anywhere. However, people in the rivers and lakes will inevitably encounter some unpleasant things. And sometimes, the gate valve is not very convenient to come forward. If this happens to you, you can come to me. I can't do big things, but small things ...... come and go, hehe. ”

"It is a great honor for Xiao Chen to have his father-in-law take care of him."

"Very good, very good, I am very satisfied with this meeting." Gonggong Li suddenly lowered his voice: "Now that Empress Dowager Chen is cleaning up the harem, some princesses of similar age are planning to let them out, how about it, do you have the heart to get one?" Three hundred taels, see each other until you are satisfied. ”

Chen Mu also lowered his voice: "Father-in-law, I listen, how can I have a feeling of selling the princess?" ”

Gonggong Li suddenly laughed wickedly: "Xiao Chen, you are really transparent." You're right, this is selling the princess. Do you know how tragic the palace fight is this time. How many concubines have offended the Queen Mother. Now the Queen Mother holds the power of the army. Can you spare them? ”

Chen Mu suddenly remembered Lu Pheasant's treatment of Mrs. Qi, a woman can be ruthless to a woman, she made Mrs. Qi an adult, and let her son come to watch, which scared her son to death.

I hope that Empress Dowager Chen will not be so vicious, and she will not frighten the Emperor of Heaven. Chen Mu felt that Emperor Tianci was a good child, and if he could take power in the future, he would not become a harsh monarch. This is a blessing for the common people.

At this time, Chen Mu did not have the idea of overthrowing the Great Liang Dynasty, but Tang Qiong had already noticed Chen Mu.

The clock was three hours back, and it was not yet dawn.

The Great Sima Tang Qiong sat in front of Yan Nanfei, and Lin Falcon's sword was on Yan Nanfei's neck.

Da Sima stared at Yan Nanfei: "What a boldness, come to my house, who brought you in." ”

Yan Nanfei said: "Senior brother Chen Mu." ”

"Oh? Chen Mu? Tang Qiong frowned: "Deputy General of the Eighth Division, Chen Mu?" ”

"Yes."

"Hehe, you people in Jukui Mountain are all famous for their hard mouths, why did you directly say the name of your junior brother, you are not afraid that Chen Qianyi will abolish you?"

"That's Master's arrangement."

"What is Chen Qianyi's arrangement?"

"Chen Mu is Zhao Mu."

"What?"

"Da Sima still remembers the assassination of the prince and the past?"

"Of course I do."

"The one who was assassinated was Chen Mu, and later made a mistake and replaced the two children. The two children look very similar. They are twins. Could it be that so far, Da Sima has never seen 'Chen Mu'? ”

Da Sima angrily threw the teacup: "Why didn't Chen Qianyi say it earlier!" ”

"Master also has Master's difficulties." Yan Nanfei asked Tang Qiong rhetorically: "If the identity of the junior brother is exposed earlier, can you protect it?" ”

"I, Tang Qiong, the dignified Sima, can't I protect a person!?"

"I don't think so! Otherwise, why would the prince die! ”

"It was an accident."

"Tang Kun killed the prince and the prince, and you didn't say anything about it."

"When Tang Kun found the prince pastor, he was already dead. Legend has it that Tang Kun killed him, this is a plan, so that Tang Ning can get close to the Queen Mother, do you understand what I mean? ”

Yan Nanfei was stunned: "Now the infighting of the Tang clan gate valve is pretended between your brothers. ”

Tang Qiong shook the sleeves of his robe and turned his back: "You are not qualified to tell me these words, you should go back and tell Chen Qianyi that his plan had better be terminated." Now no matter which one is Zhao Mu, it is too late. Emperor Tianci sat firmly on the throne, and more than half of the Xuanjia army was in the hands of Empress Dowager Chen. At this time, what does he want me to do? ”

"With the 150,000 army of your Tang Clan's gate lords, what are you Tang Qiong afraid of?"

"My Tang clan gate valve is 10,000 people in Luoyang, you ask me what I'm afraid of. Do you think I can rebel against all odds? Now we have a relationship of checks and balances with the royal family. The relationship is inherently fragile. If the royal family doesn't move my Tang family, it will be impossible for my Tang family to move the royal family. Meng's, Simon's, the three of us have been in this relationship for 170 years. Although the three of us have been fighting, no matter how we fight, we have maintained a tacit understanding. ”

Tang Qiong's words are true.

For example, Tang Qiong is the Great Sima, Tang Ning is the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the promotion of officers by the four major armies needs to be approved by the Ministry of War, so can the Tang clan lord be subject to it at will?

No.

Down's Gate Valve will not only not make it difficult, but will open the door to convenience.

As long as it is nominated by the royal family, the Meng family, and the Ximen family, it will all be approved, and there will be no ambiguity.

This is a tacit understanding.

The Meng family is in charge of the Ministry of Officials, and the Ximen family is in charge of the Criminal Department, each of which has its own heavy-handed field.

Everyone is like a mirror in their hearts, and when they do things, they will give a little face.

This is also the reason why the three families can be safe and sound in Luoyang City. The sons of all families are not allowed to take the initiative to provoke trouble, especially in a place like Pingkang, if the son of the Tang family and the son of the Meng family are jealous, the two families are not easy to provoke, and once the matter is big, it will be out of control.

Why did Meng Chang and Tang Zhen, the fifth prince of Meng, confront each other in Wanhualou last time, and this matter would be directly stabbed into the apse of the palace?

It's because both don't want things to get big.

Later, Meng Li, the second master of the Meng family, personally came forward to resolve it, and it was the secretary of the ministry.
