Chapter 499: Forcing the Palace
Gu Zhao's face became quite solemn and gloomy.
In the entire main hall, drinking, eating, and talking, all of them thought that they had pressed the pause button, and no one dared to make a single movement, waiting for Gu Zhao's response.
Su Mian was naturally weak in her heart, but she didn't back down at all, and seeing that Gu Zhao didn't answer for a long time, she asked again: "Your Majesty, is this question difficult to answer?" ”
"I have said, now is not the time to discuss this matter, what does the princess want to explain, I will give it to you after the night banquet, now please return to your position, don't delay everyone's time because you are alone."
Speaking of which, Gu Zhao just refused to explain it.
Su Mian vaguely understood, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more cold and sarcastic, staring at Gu Zhao's eyes and asking without flinching: "So Your Majesty is weak-hearted, when you said that you would send him to the south for disaster relief, it was also a lie, you just listened to those slanders and decided that Gu Zhixing threatened your status, so you just took the opportunity to get rid of him." ”
"Enough!" This time it was Concubine Qi who couldn't listen to it.
Concubine Qi originally had a good impression of Su Mian, and she was not a sharp character, so she always felt very gentle.
But now, her face sank completely, staring at Su Mian with indignation and anger on her face, and said coldly: "The princess regent is not confused, she dares to say anything, Your Majesty respects you, so he allows you to be so presumptuous, but it didn't let you not reach the earthquake, dare to slander the saint in your heart, there are no rules like this, I'm afraid that what will stimulate you to lose your heart and go crazy?" ”
Su Mian bit her lip, her face was frighteningly pale, but her eyes were still stubborn, and she said unwillingly: "I just want an explanation, Gu Zhixing promised that I would come back, but now?" Don't I even have the right to ask for an explanation? ”
Concubine Qi lowered her voice and scolded sharply: "Then you have to see what the occasion is now!" ”
She has always admired Su Mian, but now, she can't help but be a little disappointed in Su Mian.
Su Mian sneered mockingly: "Heh, occasion, I didn't want to ask on an occasion like today, but on other occasions, will Your Majesty give me this opportunity, he doesn't even dare to see me, isn't this a weak heart." ”
Gu Zhao really had a headache at the moment.
It's not time to tell Su Mian the truth, but on the other hand, he thinks it's good for Su Mian to make such a fuss, at least to make people believe that something really happened to Gu Zhixing, so that Su Mian can ignore it like this.
Gu Zhao took a deep breath, his face became sharper and more indifferent, and he said coldly: "If the princess continues to entangle, I have no choice but to send you back to the palace in advance." ”
Sheng Suqin mustered up the courage to stand up, stepped forward and grabbed Su Mian's arm with the eyes of a room full of people, and pulled her to the side while saying seriously: "Niangniang, now is not the time to say this, aren't you just a joke?" His Majesty has already promised you just now, if there is anything to talk about after the night banquet, then wait first, don't delay the good day. ”
While persuading Su Mian, Sheng Suqin also whispered to Gu Zhao: "Your Majesty, don't blame, the mother drank wine just now, and her head is not very sober, and maybe it is this day of reunion, everyone reunites with the family and is beautiful, which makes the princess miss the princess, and this is the gaffe." ”
Sheng Suqin is giving everyone a step.
At this moment, on this occasion, I am afraid that she is the only one who dares to stand up and pull Su Mian.
Gu Zhao naturally didn't think about it, waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go down first, I won't blame everything, for the sake of today's festivities, I won't care." ”
Sheng Suqin softly thanked the Holy Grace, and used some force to pull Su Mian to the side and sit down.
The farce is finally over.
Gu Zhao's expression was obviously relieved, and he raised his glass and said, "Everyone is relaxed today, don't be restrained." ”
He opened his mouth, everyone should naturally do what they should do, no one will mention what happened just now, only Su Mian was always sullen, staring at the ingredients in front of him, and never moved his chopsticks from beginning to end.
Just when the atmosphere was just right and everyone was more or less drunk, a eunuch hurriedly ran in from outside.
He can be said to have no image at all, rushing in like a rolling crawl all the way.
Gu Zhao glanced at him and reprimanded him coldly: "What's wrong, what kind of system is it to be so flustered?" ”
The eunuch didn't care to admit his guilt, knelt in the center of the main hall, panted and said in horror: "Your Majesty, someone has invaded, there are a lot of ...... Many guards were going to attack through the main gate of the palace, and the outside was fenced off. ”
As soon as these words came out, the entire main hall was in an uproar, and everyone stopped what they were doing.
In the chaos, no one noticed at all that Gu Zhao felt a sense of relief.
Outside the palace, his subordinates rushed in with people, and Liu Ce had been guarding the rear, and when he listened to the report in front, he inevitably felt a little strange, frowning and doubting: "How do you feel that this matter is too simple, there should not be only such a small number of people in the palace, how can it be so easy to attack the main hall." "Seeking Chinese
Gong Yuming was not there, but Nan Xing had been guarding this side and was also concerned about the situation here.
Hearing Liu Ce say this, Nan Xing's expression was what, only when Liu Ce thought too much, he said directly: "Isn't it better to be easier?" Maybe you little emperor didn't think that anyone would rebel at this time, and you are happily celebrating the New Year, isn't it just a chance to hack us. ”
Liu Ce's face was still not very good-looking, the worry in his eyes was particularly strong and deep, and after a moment of silence, he said gloomily: "I can't care so much, it's already come to this point, enter the palace." ”
Nan Xing did not get on the horse with him, but retreated to the back.
Liu Ce frowned and glanced back at him, his expression suddenly became very gloomy, his eyebrows were cold, his eyes were dark and cold, and he asked coldly: "What do you mean, don't your people go in with me?" ”
The more it came to this critical moment, the more nervous Liu Ce became.
As soon as he was nervous, he was inevitably a little nervous, just like at this moment, he doubted that this matter was too simple, and he thought that he would fall into a trap, but it had already reached this point, and he could only continue hard.
Now, Nan Xing is not with him, and he has taken a step back, and Liu Ce's suspicions are even worse.
But Nan Xing's lonely face was calm, and he didn't see the slightest weakness, and said unhurriedly: "Our Highness said that our people do not directly participate in the palace change, we are only assisting the prime minister, so you can rest assured, we will guard the outside." ”
Liu Ce's nerves jumped suddenly, and he always felt that things were not as simple as he thought.
But Nan Xing didn't go in, and he couldn't force people here.
Liu Ce sat on horseback, stared at Nan Xing condescendingly, and asked unwillingly: "Wouldn't your master want to take advantage of all my men and horses entering the palace and sneak attack me behind my back, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman?" ”
When he asked this, Liu Ce had been staring at Nan Xing.
Trying to see the minutiae of state-owned changes on his face.
But there was nothing, Nan Xing's face was calm, and he was even faintly innocent, and said directly: "Prime Minister's words make our hearts feel good, obviously we are in a win-win relationship, our Highness has helped you do so much during this time, and the sincerity has been given to you, but you turn your head and doubt us at this time, you can't say it." ”
Liu Ce's expression did not change, he was still indifferent, and said slowly: "Under special circumstances, I must also be extremely careful, and I hope to forgive me, so let's do it, since your men and horses want to stay outside, then I can't let you take risks, I will leave a pair of people to protect you." ”
Nan Xing frowned briefly, but quickly let go, and calmly agreed: "That's good, the prime minister has worked hard, he will take the danger himself, and he will also divide people to protect us, I will definitely tell His Highness this kindness." ”
Liu Ce didn't speak again, only tightened the reins, and finally glanced at Nan Xing, turned around and rode into the palace.
The main hall was already in a mess, and all the ministers were gathered around the emperor, but most of them were red-faced and red-eared.
Lu Zhe stood up and proposed: "Your Majesty, let the ministers go out and have a look, the commander of the palace guards is not here, I am afraid that they have been rebelled, and I can't count on them at this time." ”
Gu Zhao hadn't opened his mouth yet, but an old minister said in a panic: "Don't, Lord Lu, there are rebels outside, there are so many people, it's useless for you to go out." ”
They just ran to the gate of the main hall to take a look, the outside was full of troops, and it had been surrounded by water, and now the gate of the main hall had been closed, but it was useless, as soon as the rebels came, the gate was not vulnerable at all.
A Wen Chen also echoed a sentence, full of worry: "Yes, Lord Lu, don't go out, it's useless to go out, you will be killed, who is so bold to dare to rebel on Chinese New Year's Eve,"
Obviously, none of them knew that this was going to happen.
As soon as these words came out, Lu Zhe quickly sneered and continued: "Who else can it be, who hasn't come today." ”
Everyone reacted at once, looked at each other, and soon someone discovered: "The prime minister didn't come because he was sick at home, so he wasn't sick at all." ”
What kind of illness could come so coincidentally, everyone understands at this moment.
Soon, some people felt dissatisfied and complained: "This Liu Ce is really, His Majesty treats him well, he is already in a high position, and he doesn't know life or death like this, it seems that this matter has already been planned, I am afraid that it took a lot of time to raise soldiers, and it has been planned for a long time." ”
The Prime Minister, who was still respectful before, is now called by his name.
At this moment, everyone has their own thoughts, some people are afraid that they will not be able to escape today's catastrophe, and they will be explained here, and some people are wondering if they have offended Liu Ce before, and whether they will be hated.
The most nervous person who was guarding Gu Zhao's side was Lin Xiao, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, obviously, he had never experienced this kind of thing, and he had the courage to have a late-night snack, and he was trembling all over his body at the moment, and asked Gu Zhao uneasily: "Your Majesty, what should you do now, you must have a way, right?" ”
He also thought that the palace guards would not be breached so quickly,
