Now the palace has become a sea of white, all the red is covered by white cloth, the palace maids and eunuchs are all wearing filial piety clothes, and the Qianqing Palace has been dressed as a white palace.

At this time, the emperor was kneeling beside the body of the Emperor Taishang, as a filial son to guard the spirit of the Emperor.

And the queen mother next to her has been crying and fainting several times, she now sees that her last backer has fallen, and she has left no guarantee for herself, she and the emperor's enmity knows in his heart that there may be no good end this time.

Next to the emperor, there are two beauties, one is the emperor's original partner, the current queen, and the other is Jia Yuanchun, the virtuous concubine.

These two people have no feelings for the emperor, but in order to show filial piety, they still desperately squeeze out tears and howl there.

And the emperor was expressionless, kneeling there with a demented face, and he didn't know whether to lament the death of the emperor, or to think that he was going to become a puppet from now on and feel sad after this life.

At this moment, Xia Shouzhong came in from outside the palace and quietly came to the emperor's side, "Long live Lord, Jia Ke has arrived at the gate of the palace and asked the emperor if he is allowed to come in to pay tribute to the emperor." ”

As soon as the emperor heard this, a cold light appeared in his eyes, all of his was caused by Jia Ke, and now the emperor can't wait to eat Jia Ke, but when he thinks of those soldiers outside the palace gate, he immediately loses his temper.

The emperor took a deep breath before he said, "Since the Duke of Yan has returned, and he has a good relationship with his father, then hurry up and invite him in." And this time, Yan Guogong must hurry back quickly, you go to meet him on my behalf. ”

Xia Shouzhong got the emperor's letter and quietly withdrew from the main hall of the Qianqing Palace. Then he walked quickly to the palace gate with a few little eunuchs.

Jia Ke waited at the gate of the palace for a long time, and saw the palace gate open wide, and Xia Shouzhong walked out of it.

The moment Xia Shouzhong opened the palace gate, he saw Jia Ke riding a tall horse waiting at the palace gate.

Where did Xia Shouzhong dare to be lazy, walked quickly to Jia Ke, knelt down on one knee and gave him a salute: "Slave Xia Shouzhong, I have given a salute to the Duke of Yan Guo." ”

Jia Ke sat on the horse and didn't get down, just nodded and said, "Where is the Emperor Taishang stopping now?" ”

Xia Shouzhong knelt down and said in a sincere panic: "Back to the words of the Duke of Yanguo, according to the previous rules, the Emperor Taishang is in the Qianqing Palace. ”

"Then you lead the way in front, and I'll send the emperor on the last ride."

After Xia Shouzhong listened, he got up and led the way in front. And Jia Ke did not dismount, and Liu Yu, the captain of the personal army, led the horse and followed closely behind Xia Shouzhong. And the thousands of soldiers and horses behind Jia Ke did not stop advancing, but entered the palace with Jia Ke.

Xia Shouzhong looked at Jia Ke like this, although he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but as soon as he saw the thousands of people behind Jia Ke, he immediately shut his mouth. silently led Jia Ke in front.

Jia Ke rode like this, led thousands of people straight into the palace and came to the square in front of the Qianqing Palace.

At this time, people came and went in the square, and suddenly they saw so many troops coming in, and they were all frightened and panicked, and they hid aside in a panic.

And Jia Ke's army began to form a team on the Qianqing Palace Square, and after it was completed, the deputy general who led the team came to Jia Ke and knelt on the ground.

"Qi Qi Marshal, the whole army has been reorganized, please give the order."

After Jia Ke listened, he said: "The order is to block the Qianqing Palace, search the inside and outside of the Qianqing Palace, and no one should enter or leave without my order." ”

After listening to Jia Ke's order, the deputy general immediately took people to go, and after a while, he surrounded the Qianqing Palace, and then he led people to break into the Qianqing Palace, and began to search around, afraid that there would be any ambush in it.

The reason why Jia Ke did this was also because he was shocked by the emperor, he was afraid that he would arrange some ambush in the Qianqing Palace, and finally give himself a look in front of the emperor's spirit, so he was so cautious.

It didn't take long for the deputy general to come out of the Qianqing Palace.

"Qiqi Marshal, the last generals inside and outside the Qianqing Palace have already checked it, and there is no ambush."

At this time, Jia Ke turned over and dismounted, Jia Ke just got off the horse, and saw a person running next to him, and the soldiers next to Jia Ke immediately pulled out their knives and stopped this person.

Jia Ke took a closer look, and it turned out to be Dai Quan, a close confidant of the emperor.

It was Jia Ke who waved his hand to the soldiers around him, allowing Dai Quan to come to his side.

As soon as Dai Quan arrived at Jia Ke's side, he immediately knelt on the ground, "Slave Dai Quan, kowtow to Yan Guogong." ”

Jia Ke looked at the eunuch in front of him and smiled slightly, this person who he had to look up to a few years ago was now kneeling at his feet.

"Grandpa Dai doesn't have to be polite."

Dai Quan dared to get up after listening to Jia Ke's words, and then carefully stood beside Jia Ke and said: "Grandpa Guo, Concubine Xiande is in the Qianqing Palace, and she is guarding the soul of the Emperor Taishang next to the emperor and the queen. ”

Jia Ke was a little puzzled when he heard this, it stands to reason that although Concubine Xiande is a noble concubine, she is even worse than the queen, how can she be beside the emperor and the queen to guard the spirit of the emperor.

Dai Quan saw Jia Ke's doubts, and said cautiously: "The emperor made a decree before his death, so that the emperor could abolish the current queen and establish the virtuous concubine Niangniang as the queen, and the emperor has agreed, but the emperor died too suddenly, and he has not had time to make an order." ”

Jia Ke immediately understood what the Emperor Taishang meant, this was to use Jia Yuanchun to tie himself. If so, he's miscalculated.

However, Jia Ke felt that before he became the emperor, he still put away this thought for the time being.

Jia Ke was looking at Dai Quan, who kept flattering him, this was to find a home for himself after the death of the emperor. I don't need a eunuch yet, even if I need someone like Dai Quan, I don't need someone like Dai Quan, but seeing that I still need some people in the palace, I can arrange him next to Jia Yuanchun, with Dai Quan's power, I don't think there will be any danger to Jia Yuanchun, and it is also very good for Jia Yuanchun.

After thinking about this, Jia Ke asked Dai Quan, "The Emperor Taishang has passed away, where will you be on an errand in the future?" ”

After listening to Jia Ke's question, Dai Quan's face was full of sadness, he was not sad for the death of the emperor, but sad for his future destination.

"If you return to the motherland, I am afraid that the slaves and maids will either go to the mausoleum of the Emperor Taishang to guard the mausoleum in the future, or go to Yanfu Temple (after the eunuchs are old, because there is no one to support them, they are generally monks in Yanfu Temple) to retire." When Dai Quan said this, he also felt desolate about the rest of his life.

Jia Ke smiled and said: "It's not to this point, let's have a relationship after all, if you don't dislike it, you can go to Concubine Xiande to be a manager in the future." ”

As soon as Dai Quan heard Jia Ke's words, he immediately smiled, the virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun will be crowned the queen as soon as the mourning period of the Emperor Taishang expires, plus there is Jia Ke outside, I am afraid that in addition to the emperor, Jia Yuanchun will be in the palace. If she can become the head of her side, the status of the eunuch in the palace will not decline much.

So Dai Quan hurriedly knelt down again and kept kowtowing to Jia Ke, "Thank you to Grandpa Guo, the slave will serve the master wholeheartedly in the future, and never let Grandpa Guo worry about justice." ”

Jia Ke nodded, and then said, "Since that's the case, go in with me and kowtow to the Emperor." ”

However, in Jia Ke's mind, the emperor may not be so easy to abolish the queen, after all, after many years of affection, and this emperor is not a ruthless person, I am afraid that the matter of making Jia Yuanchun the queen in the end will not be over, but Jia Yuanchun's power in the palace will be strengthened.

As soon as Jia Ke finished speaking, Dai Quan came over to support Jia Ke's arm like a dog, as if he was so weak and needed someone to support him, and cautiously followed Jia Ke towards the Qianqing Palace.

"You keep an eye on the things in the palace, I think our emperor is also stubborn, and the virtuous concubine in our family wants to be the queen, I don't think it's so easy."

Although Jia Ke didn't say anything, it was already a very obvious hint.

What a clever person Dai Quan is, as soon as he heard Jia Ke's words, he already understood what Jia Ke meant, this is to say that if the emperor does not have Xia Solstice behind, let Dai Quan help the emperor dispose of this queen, so that the virtuous concubine of their family can take the throne.

After thinking about it, Dai Quan hurriedly said flatteringly: "According to the slave maid, the queen's health is not good, maybe she will go one day, our virtuous concubine is a great creation, and I can't wait long to be the queen." ”

After listening to Dai Quan's words, Jia Ke smiled slightly and didn't say anything more, everything was silent.

At this time, Xia Shouzhong, who had been waiting at the gate of Qianqing Palace for a long time, couldn't help but pout when he saw Dai Quan coming in with Jia Ke's arm. Thinking in his heart, this Dai Quan would really look for an opportunity, and as soon as the Emperor Taishang was gone, he would find the next family again. At the same time, I am also more vigilant in my heart, this Dai Quan is really not so easy to deal with, it seems that he still has to have a fight with him in the harem.

When Jia Ke came to the gate of the Qianqing Palace, thousands of people had already surrounded the Qianqing Palace, and dozens of personal soldiers followed Jia Ke into the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.

Jia Ke entered the main hall and saw that the Emperor Taishang's Zi Palace had been placed. It's still empty now, though.

Jia Ke didn't understand these rules, and glanced at Dai Quan next to him, which meant to ask what was going on?

Dai Quan hurriedly explained to Jia Ke: "Grandpa Guo, according to the rules, the Emperor Taishang will only bathe and change his clothes on the third day, put on his longevity clothes and enter the Zi Palace. ”

Jia Ke nodded and said, "Where is the Emperor Taishang parked now?" ”

"For the words of the grandfather of the country, the Emperor Taishang is now parked in the dormitory of the Qianqing Palace."

After Jia Ke listened, he said: "Lead the way, I'll go to see the emperor off." ”

Dai Quan immediately helped Jia Ke to the dormitory of the Qianqing Palace.

Along the way, I met many palace maids and eunuchs, and they all felt angry about Jia Ke's pomp, and this look was not bad with the emperor in the palace.
