Besides, Chen Zhi was ordered to go to the palace to report to Emperor Han Xian that Han Zhan was about to bring the opera troupe into the palace to perform.

Coming to the gate of the palace, the new palace gate Sima was from the Tiger Guard, and naturally knew Chen Dao, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and asked respectfully: "Dare to ask General Chen So far, what is the important matter?" ”

After Chen returned the salute, he said, "I have come to meet Your Majesty on the orders of the Lord. ”

Gongye Gate Sima thought that Chen Zhi was a popular person beside Han Zhan, and he had the intention to please him, so he took the initiative to say: "General Chen, Your Majesty should be in the main hall at the moment, it is better for the little one to accompany you to meet the driver." ”

Seeing that the other party was so enthusiastic, and it was the old department of the Tiger Guard, Chen Zhi didn't think too much, so he nodded in agreement and followed Gongye Gate Sima to the vicinity of the main hall. There were more than 20 Yulin guards standing on the stairs outside the hall gate, and when they saw that it was the palace gate Sima who came with Chen, they didn't stop it, but bowed down and saluted, allowing them to go up the steps of the main hall smoothly.

Coming to the platform outside the palace gate, the palace gate Sima asked Chen Zhi to wait for a while, and then entered the hall to report himself. Chen Zhi said "there is labor", then stopped, put one hand on the hilt of the sword, and stood outside the palace gate with the other hand on the waist.

The little yellow door in the hall saw the palace door Sima enter, and hurriedly greeted him and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"General Chen of the Prefecture Governor's Mansion asks to see Your Majesty." Gongye Gate Sima said to Xiao Huangmen: "Now it's outside the palace." ”

Xiao Huangmen knew Chen Dao's identity, and when he heard that he was sent by the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and hurriedly walked over to report to Emperor Han Xian: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Anyang has sent someone." ”

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, who was watching the concerto, heard Xiao Huangmen say this, raised his head and asked, "Where are the people?" ”

"Wait outside the temple."

Emperor Han Xian glanced at Sima Gongyemen, who was standing at the gate of the palace, and instructed Xiao Huangmen: "Announce his audience!" ”

If it was another courtier, Xiao Huangmen would definitely turn directly to face the palace gate and shout in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty has announced XX's visit!" "But it was Anyanghou's subordinates who came, lent him ten guts, and he didn't dare to do this, after all, most of the soldiers and horses guarding the palace now are Anyanghou's subordinates, if he provokes Anyanghou, he can pinch himself to death like pinching a bedbug to death.

Xiao Huangmen trotted all the way to the palace gate Sima, nodded and said, "Your Majesty has a decree, please ask General Chen, a subordinate of the Marquis of Anyang, to meet you!" ”

Gongye Gate Sima nodded, turned around and went out in front of Chen Zhi, and said respectfully: "General Chen, Your Majesty has a decree to announce your visit." ”

Chen Zhi took off his boots, and before he even had time to take the saber at his waist, he strode into the hall. Sima of the palace gate on the side saw that Chen Zhi did not untie the sword, so he went straight into the main hall and couldn't help but be shocked. If you want to dissuade it, Chen Zhi has already entered the main hall, if he shouts in the back, it will be considered a loss of honor in front of the king.

"The last general has seen Your Majesty." Chen Zhi came to the front of Emperor Han Xian, clasped his fists and saluted, "The last general is in armor, and he can't give a full salute, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”

Seeing that Chen Zhi actually brought a sword into the palace, Emperor Han Xian couldn't help but be shocked into a cold sweat, his first reaction was that this Chen Zhi was ordered by Jizhou Mu to take my life. At this moment, seeing that the other party stopped at a distance of five or six steps, and his attitude was quite respectful, his heart was a little calmer. He asked tremblingly: "General Chen, I don't know what happened when the Marquis of Anyang sent you into the palace?" ”

Where did Chen know the true thoughts of Emperor Han Xian, so he replied respectfully: "Qi Qi subordinates, my lord ordered me to come and report to Your Majesty, saying that after lunch, I will personally lead the opera troupe to attack and perform for Your Majesty." He was worried that His Majesty might take a nap after lunch, and he was specially ordered to report to His Majesty in the future. ”

Although two days ago, Emperor Han Xian was thinking about the Huangmei Opera that Han Zhan said, but at this moment, his heart was inexplicably worried. He was worried that Han Zhan was doing something wrong in the name of attacking and performing. After listening to Chen Zhi's report, he hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "I don't know when Anyang Hou plans to enter the palace?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty," Chen Zhi said, "My lord said that when His Majesty finishes lunch, he will personally lead the opera troupe into the palace." ”

"I see." Emperor Han Xian waved his hand at Chen Zhi, trying to squeeze out a smile on his face: "The Qing family will go back and tell the Marquis of Anyang, I am waiting for him in the palace." ”

As soon as Chen Zhi left, Emperor Han Xian couldn't wait to say to Xiao Huangmen: "Quickly drive the Changqiu Palace, I want to go to see Queen Fu." ”

The little yellow gate waited for the Han Xian Emperor to come to the Changqiu Palace. Empress Fu was dressing up in front of the bronze mirror, and when she saw Emperor Han Xian entering, she hurriedly got up and saluted with the palace people: "The concubines see Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Han Xian bent down to help Empress Fu, straightened up and said to the other palace people: "I have something to say to the queen, let's retreat first." The palace people agreed, bowed and retreated out of the Changqiu Palace.

"Your Majesty." Seeing that Emperor Han Xian had kicked out all the palace people, Empress Fu felt that something might have happened, and hurriedly asked tentatively, "What's wrong?" ”

"The Marquis of Anyang sent someone to inform me that after lunch, he would personally bring the opera troupe into the palace to perform."

"Didn't Your Majesty always want to hear what the Huangmei Opera created by the Marquis of Anyang is like?" Empress Fu asked strangely: "Why did you hear that the Marquis of Anyang was going to enter the palace, but Your Majesty seemed so uneasy?" ”

Emperor Han Xian snorted heavily and said, "The person sent by the Marquis of Anyang to summon the news actually entered the palace with a sword, but the palace gate Sima ignored it. I am worried that it is fake for Anyang Hou to bring the opera troupe into the palace to perform, and it is true to take my life. ”

Empress Fu was taken aback by Emperor Han Xian's words, but she quickly regained her composure and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, is there any misunderstanding in this?" ”

"What misunderstanding?" Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, who had been oppressed by Dong Zhuo, was very afraid of someone entering the palace without permission. Therefore, when Chen Zhi swaggered into the store with a sword, he instinctively remembered the humiliating days of Dong Zhuo's dictatorship: "Didn't he instigate his cronies to enter the temple with a sword, didn't he test my reaction to see if I was weak and bullied?" ”

"Your Majesty, please listen to the concubine." As the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and Queen Fu, who has stayed in the harem for a long time, has a clearer view on some things than Emperor Han Xian, "If the Marquis of Anyang has two hearts, when he moved the capital from Chang'an to Yecheng, he would have many opportunities to get rid of His Majesty." After arriving in Yedu, he was always respectful to His Majesty. The concubine heard that in order not to make His Majesty feel uncomfortable, he even called himself sick every day. For such a loyal courtier, His Majesty has to be suspicious in every way, if the Marquis of Anyang knows, I am afraid it will be chilling. ”

Empress Fu's words woke up the person in the dream, and Emperor Han Xian realized that he had drilled the tip of the horns, maybe when Chen entered the palace, he forgot to take the sword, and he misunderstood the other party. Thinking of this, he said with some embarrassment: "Empress, could it be that I really misunderstood the Marquis of Anyang?" ”

Empress Fu guessed Emperor Han Xian's thoughts, and said tactfully: "Your Majesty, if you are still not at ease, you can send someone to recruit Yang Biao, the chief lieutenant Zhu Jun, the servant Zhao Qi and others into the palace. They have a good personal relationship with Anyang Hou, if they are by His Majesty's side, even if Anyang Hou has any ideas, I am afraid that after seeing them, he will be afraid. ”

"What the queen said is very true, I immediately sent someone to recruit the three of them into the palace." Emperor Han Xian said, rushed to the door of the room, and shouted outside: "Someone! ”

Xiao Huangmen immediately appeared at the door, bowing his head and bending over, waiting for Emperor Han Xian's orders with a respectful attitude.

Emperor Han Xian pointed at him with his hand and said, "Quickly go and take the Taiwei Yang Biao, the Great Si Nong Zhu Jun, and the Tai Servant Zhao Qi, and say that I have something important to discuss with them." ”
