The ringing of the Jingyang bell means a national mourning.

Ringing ninety-nine or eighty-one times in a row, it means that the emperor has died.

But now in the imperial city, there are two human supremes.

For whom is this bell ringing?

Of course, most of it may be because of the emperor.

After all, the Emperor Taishang is already high in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he has recently been obsessed with cultivating immortals and refining pills.

Drug use, no matter what time it is, is the best way to commit suicide.

It can't be ruled out that it is Emperor Long An......

In the palace, any kind of conspiracy and bloody betrayal can happen.

If it's really Emperor Long An, it will be bad......

Some people don't know, but Jia Qiang herself knows very well what a vain name he, the so-called good minister of the Supreme Emperor, is.

For those strongmen he has sinned, especially those clan kings, I'm afraid it's not even a fart!

may be able to barely protect itself, but all the industries you own now will definitely not be able to keep a hair.

Even if he can survive, he will become a tool for others to pick up gold and silver, dare to resist, and end miserably.

Who made him stand on the side of Emperor Long An because of Lin Ruhai before?

And he has too many loopholes, for example, Lin Ruhai and Daiyu.

Jia Qiang will never allow himself to fall into such a passive situation, he doesn't want to taste the taste of fish and meat for people.

Fortunately, although the preparation time was not long, he already had a lot of arrangements.

"Xiaojing, before I returned to Beijing, I had a death order, there must be a ship in the fleet of iron heads and pillars, no matter when, it will be moored at the bluestone wharf. I want to be sure now that the ship is there now. ”

Jia Qiang's face was solemn and said in a deep voice.

Li Jing hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the ship is always there!" ”

Hearing this, Jia Qiang nodded, and said, "Send thirty of the most loyal and reliable experts to get on the boat, ready to go." ”

What's even more fortunate is that most of the people he cares about are here.

After Li Jing responded, she and Jia Qiang looked at Daiyu and the others who were still in shock.

Jia Qiang looked at Daiyu beside her and said softly: "Something big happened in Beijing, but so far, I don't know if it will be a very unfavorable thing." Although the possibility is extremely small and very small, we still have to take precautions. In a while, I will send you to the dock and ship in a carriage, and if something happens in Beijing, I will take my husband out, and the others will also be picked up as much as possible, and then we will fly away. If it's just a false alarm, I'll send someone to take you back to the city. ”

As long as you determine which one died, you can determine whether there is a major crisis.

However, hearing him say this, even if it was only a slight danger, Daiyu and the others still changed their faces in fright.

Most of them have read through the history books, and they know that every time the emperor dies in the past dynasties and changes the imperial power, it is an extremely dangerous thing.

Which time is not the head of the killing, how many high-ranking worlds have been destroyed overnight......

Daiyu's eyes were a little red, and she looked at Jia Qiang and blamed herself: "Isn't it, if we hadn't left the city today, we wouldn't have delayed your big event?" ”

The other sisters were also full of self-blame and guilt, and Xiangling had already cried with her mouth open.

If Xiangling was to choose, she would rather be the one who had the accident herself, rather than let Jia Qiang fall into the slightest danger......

Jia Qiang glanced at this stupid girl and said with a smile: "What! Today, we have to go out of the city first, and in this way, we have achieved the biggest start! Even if something very unfortunate happens, I don't have to worry about your safety, and I can do it. If you get on board first, I'll be a hundred times safer!" Because I don't have to worry about people threatening me. So today is a very lucky day! Don't be afraid, even if something bad happens, I have already prepared in advance, and the same is true for my husband, we will definitely get out of the city safely, if this is the case, we will only live more freely in the future, and it may not be all bad. ”

Seeing that he was so confident, and even regarded misfortune as a blessing, Daiyu chose to believe him, she looked at Jia Qiang, and said softly: "No matter what, you have to come to me...... You, you, you promised me, it was my birthing ceremony. For me, the same is true. ”

Without you, the mountains and rivers, the sun and the moon, and the stars are all superfluous......

Jia Qiang curled the corners of her mouth and smiled warmly: "Don't worry, even if the most unfortunate thing happens, I will definitely come to look for you, I promise!" I've never coaxed you, and this time too. ”

After the two looked at each other for a long time, Jia Qiang looked at the others one by one, and finally his eyes fell on Baoyu's face and asked, "You will go back to the city with me?" You are harmless, and no matter what happens, no one will want to harm you. ”

Baoyu is not a fool, and shook his head again and again: "I am with my sisters and sisters. ”

Jia Qiang didn't say much, he stepped forward under the attention of everyone, gently hugged Daiyu, and hugged the crying Xiangling, Qingwen, and Ping'er one by one, and watched them get into the carriage one by one, Fang and Li Jing got on the horse together, and under the escort of dozens of relatives, they went all the way south to the bluestone wharf, and after seeing their carriage get on the boat, even if they heard the faint cry in the carriage, they did not get off the horse to be relieved.

When the last carriage was on the deck, he turned his horse, shouted loudly, and led dozens of horsemen to gallop in the direction of Shenjing City.

This time, if it is Emperor Long An who died, then ......

He would never hesitate, and immediately invited Lin Ruhai out of the city.

Others will send people to invite them, and if they are willing to leave their homes and possessions, they will take them with them.

If they are reluctant to share the family business and want to procrastinate, they will also go.

But this time, it wasn't Emperor Long An who died, that ......

From then on, Jia Qiang will eventually touch the true power core of this vast empire step by step.

Of course, this process must be stepping on white bones!

But even so, it is better than being controlled by others, panicking like a lost dog, and fleeing thousands of miles away.

……

At the beginning of Yin, Lin Ruhai came out of the house.

When I arrived in front of the Jinshui Bridge, I found that there were already many princes there.

Although spring has been beginning for a long time, before the sun rises, it is still cold and cold.

Lin Ruhai opened the carriage window, opened the cold wooden window, looked at the many officials riding on horses in the distance, almost crumbling from the cold, and sighed secretly, thanks to Jia Qiang who prepared such a carriage for him, which could put a foot stove and even hot tea and snacks.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to endure this national funeral.

Thinking of Jia Qiang, Lin Ruhai thought of his departure from the city again, and couldn't help frowning.

I hope Jia Qiang can come back early today and take care of the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.

In Shenjing City, relatively speaking, there are only three troops and horses that can be mobilized cheaply:

One is the Shuntianfu Yamen, the other is the infantry army leading the Yamen, and the last one is the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.

However, the officials of the Shuncheon Prefecture had to be mobilized only in the event of a case.

The infantry army commanded the yamen, also known as the nine-gate admiral battalion, and was in charge of the guards, inspections, access controls, night patrols, bans, and armor protection.

But it is mainly the commander of the nine gates, and other things, if there is no will, can also not act on a large scale without authorization.

Obviously, Wei Xin, the current commander of the infantry army, is not a confidant of Emperor Long'an.

Otherwise, on the way when Lin Ruhai came tonight, he would see that there were soldiers guarding the entrances of each alley.

One hundred and eight squares in Shenjing, all of them should be garrisoned by people in armor.

In addition, the only soldiers and horses that can be mobilized today are the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.

The reason why Lin Ruhai was able to conclude that the person who died in the palace was the Emperor Taishang and not Emperor Long'an was because he received a secret decree from the chamberlain of the CRRC Mansion, asking him to contact Jia Qiang immediately and order Jia Qiang to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the five cities tonight to strictly guard the capital in case of change.

Although Lin Ruhai couldn't let Jia Qiang return to Beijing for a while, he ordered Gao Long, the deputy commander of Jia Qiang, and ordered Gao Long to send an order in the name of Jia Qiang to order the soldiers and horses of the five cities in the middle, east, south, west, and north to be under martial law.

In particular, the twelve key official squares near the imperial city were "guarded".

Although it will offend many princes and ministers, stability prevails at the moment!

With such measures, it should always be able to survive the fifth watch, when Jia Qiang returns to the city......

It's unlikely that something will happen, but it's just in case.

This should be done safely......

But then Lin Ruhai sighed softly, and his eyes became a little complicated.

The emperor died too suddenly......

Although he has always hoped that the Emperor Taishang can return to heaven as soon as possible, the current Emperor Taishang is already a drag on Jiangshan Sheji.

But he shouldn't die now.

If Han Bin and the others did not leave Beijing, it would be fine.

But right now, Emperor Long An and him, as well as Han Bin and others, have made full plans for the current situation, at least for the next two years.

Their monarchs and ministers plan to use the efforts of the past two years to use the prestige of the Emperor Taishang to the old ministers of Jingchu, especially the heroes of Yuanping, to achieve a smooth transfer of power step by step, even if in the process, they will suffer a lot, have to endure a lot of grievances, and even absurd requirements.

But any bitterness, grievances and absurdities are insignificant compared to the smooth transfer of imperial power!

Because in the process of the transfer of imperial power, once there is turmoil, it will definitely hurt the vitality of the society!

But he never thought that the Emperor Taishang would suddenly die now.

There are many things that their kings and ministers have not yet prepared!

Especially, the power of the army!

Lin Ruhai has never set foot in the field of military power, and he has never planned to get involved.

So he didn't know what Emperor Long An had taken.

But Lin Ruhai believes that at least the Imperial Forest Army and the Dragon Forbidden Captain in the palace should not have much of a problem.

Even if they were mixed with sand, they were not prepared for the Emperor Taishang's violent death, and the people on the other side would not be prepared.

Therefore, tonight in Shenjing City, there will probably be no accidents.

I hope that this time the emperor will be able to pass smoothly......

Thinking like this, the eastern sky is gradually dawning.

The sounds around the carriage in the Lin Mansion were also getting noisier and louder, as if they were in a vegetable market.

After calculating the time, Lin Ruhai wore a thick plain cloak, hung white around his waist, and got out of the carriage.

When many people saw him get out of the car, their eyes were a little complicated, but most of them came forward to say goodbye.

After all, this left squire of the household department, I am afraid that the time to enter the military aircraft will be greatly advanced......

After a cup of tea, the sky gradually brightened, and the imperial opinion of Emperor Daxing finally came slowly under the embrace of the army.

I don't know who took the lead, everyone knelt down one after another, and immediately cried to the sky.

Some officials are even more mournful.

Emperor Long An supported the emperor, with tears in his eyes, accompanied him on foot and helped him to the palace gate.

The princes and ministers and the princes and grandsons of the Emperor Taishang all howled desperately to show their filial piety.

I don't know if it's because the mountain that has been pressed on his head for decades has finally gone, in Lin Ruhai's eyes, Emperor Long An, who was standing next to the imperial chariot and walking slowly, no longer had the restraint and forbearance of the first, and there was only a kind of indescribable and unclear domineering power.

Seeing this, Lin Ruhai didn't know whether to rest assured or worried.

As if sensing Lin Ruhai's worried gaze, Emperor Long An, who had been indifferently moving forward, glanced in the direction where he was standing, bowed his head slightly, and continued to move forward.

Until, after the Daxing Emperor was enshrined in the Qianqing Palace, for the kings of the clan, the relatives and nobles of the martial arts and many officials to mourn for 27 consecutive days, the big funeral, three times a day.

And seeing that Emperor Daxing had been sent to the Qianqing Palace and there was no chaos, Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and cried with the hundred officials with the ginger juice prepared by Aunt Mei when he came......

……

Dongcheng Terracotta Division, Jia Qiang, who returned to the city on the fifth watch, finally got the letter and knew that the dead person was the emperor.

However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, he saw Gao Long's solemn face and hurriedly reported:

"Master Hou, there is an abnormality in the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army! Wei Xin personally led 3,000 soldiers and horses to the Xihua Gate of the imperial city and hurried to the Xihua Gate of the imperial city! ”

When Jia Qiang heard this, her complexion changed suddenly.

……
