Chapter 17 Sensation in Chang'an
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the hundred officials entered the main hall of Weiyang Palace, stood up, and sorted out the court clothes.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the emperor led the queen mother into the main hall, and the eunuch shouted: "Your Majesty, the queen mother has arrived!" ”
"Ministers meet our emperor and the queen mother!" The hundred officials bowed three times and bowed nine times to the emperor and the queen mother, and exhaled in their mouths.
After the ceremony, the emperor said: "All Aiqing is flat!" ”
The hundred officials shouted in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty! As he got up, he went back to his place and stood up.
After the hundred officials stood up, the eunuch shouted: "There is a book to start playing, and there is no book to retreat!" ”
After the eunuch finished speaking, the hundred officials were silent for a while, and when the hundred officials were silent, the queen mother asked, "Why don't you see the order today?" ”
After hearing the Queen Mother's words, the hundred officials looked at the front row of officials, where there should have been four people, and sure enough, there were only three people standing, and there was a vacant seat in the middle.
Only then did the hundred officials realize that it was true that Zhang Tao had ordered Zhang Tao to go to court in the future. The officials whispered and discussed, why the door order did not come to the court today.
Suddenly, there was a lot of noise in the main hall of Weiyang Palace.
Seeing this scene, the eunuch came out again and said loudly: "Silence! No noise! ”
Hearing the eunuch's shout, the hundred officials stopped talking.
And at this moment, a small eunuch walked out of the side door of the main hall, and signaled to the older eunuch in the hall.
The middle-aged eunuch standing beside the emperor was Luo Tian's 'Eunuch of the Celebrant Palm Seal (1)' Li Hong.
Li Hong saw that the little eunuch was calling himself, so he bowed slightly to the emperor and the queen mother, and then trotted like a little eunuch, the little eunuch whispered a few words in Li Hong's ear and left, Li Hong also returned to the emperor, and then reported to the emperor and the queen mother.
After listening to Li Hong's report, I saw that the expressions of the emperor and the empress dowager had changed dramatically. There are emotions such as shock, disbelief, disbelief, anger, etc.
The hundred officials saw that the emperor and the queen mother had changed their faces, and they were all speculating about what happened? In order to make the emperor and the queen mother show such expressions.
The doubts of the hundred officials did not last long, and they were revealed with the question of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother asked, "Where is Jing Zhaoyi (2)?" ”
Listening to the Queen Mother's angry questioning, a little old man in his fifties stood up and replied: "The minister is here!" ”
"How is the security in the capital now?"
After seeing Jing Zhaoyi come out, the Queen Mother continued to question.
"Now the security in the capital is acceptable, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, although there are occasional incidents of fights and brawls......"
Hearing the Queen Mother's question, Jing Zhaoyi thought for a moment before answering.
Hearing Jing Zhaoyi's reply, the Queen Mother was angry, and then said angrily: "Shang Ke? What do you mean by Shang Ke? ”
After a pause, the Queen Mother continued: "Just when Fang Caimen ordered Zhang Tao, he was assassinated on the way to the court, is this what you call Shang Ke?" ”
"Plop!"
Hearing the shocking news that the Queen Mother said, Jing Zhaoyi fell to his knees with a thud in fright, and his body kept trembling in fright.
When the hundred officials heard such news, the hundred officials made an uproar again.
He was one of the three major auxiliary ministers of the Han Dynasty, and was the most powerful person in the Han Dynasty except for the emperor, the empress dowager, the regent and the other two auxiliary ministers.
With such an identity and status, the door ordered that he was assassinated in the capital of the Han Dynasty, how could such news not shock the hundred officials.
Jing Zhaoyi knelt on the ground for a long time before he came to his senses a little, knelt on the ground and said, "The minister is guilty!" Please punish Your Majesty and the Queen Mother! ”
After a while, the Queen Mother's anger also disappeared a little, seeing Jing Zhaoyi like this, the Queen Mother thought calmly for a while, and then said: "Don't mention the punishment or not, the mourning family will give you half a month to test this matter, if you don't know the matter, the mourning family is punishing together!" ”
"Command!"
Hearing the Queen Mother's words, although Jing Zhaoyi was not sure that he would be able to find out about this matter within fifteen days, he didn't dare not agree, so he replied with a look of resignation.
Seeing that the officials were shocked by the assassination of Zhang Tao under the order of the door, and no one came out to perform after a long time, Li Hong saw this and shouted again: "There is a book to play, but there is no book to retreat!" ”
After Li Hong's words fell, after a while, no one came out to the book, and Li Hong said loudly: "Retreat from the dynasty!" ”
Hearing the word retreat, the hundred officials saluted the emperor and the queen mother together, and shouted: "The ministers retire!" ”
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the people of the hundred officials were panicked, and they discussed the assassination of Zhang Tao under the order of the door.
After the hundred officials left the palace, the incident of "Zhang Tao was assassinated by the door" also spread in Chang'an City, and all kinds of gossip were all over the streets of Chang'an.
After retiring from the dynasty, when the queen mother saw the emperor frowning and thinking, she knew that the emperor also sensed that something was wrong with this matter.
"Don't worry, Emperor! The mourning family will send someone to investigate the matter in detail. ”
The Queen Mother comforted.
"Hmm!"
Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Luo Tian just said "um", and then sent the Queen Mother back to Wanfu Palace, and finally he himself returned to the Weiyang Palace Dormitory.
"Ding! There is a new task in the system, please check it out with the host! ”
As soon as Luo Tian returned to the dormitory, a system prompt sounded in his head.
In the five years that he has been learning art with Guiguzi, Luo Tian has also taken on some relatively simple tasks, but the system points rewarded by the system are not high, most of them are some one or two hundred and one tasks.
So in the past five years, Luo Tian has not accumulated many points, and he has not continued to draw any other cards.
This time something so big happened, and the task of the system came again. Luo Tian thought according to the routine on the earth: "The difficulty of the task issued by such a major event must not be small, so the system points rewarded after completing the task must not be less!" ”
Thinking of this, Luo Tian couldn't wait to see what this task was.
System Tasks:
Investigate the truth behind the "Men Ordered Assassination" case.
After completing the mission, you will be rewarded with 10,000 points!
No penalty for failure!
There is no time limit!
Hearing that there were a lot of task reward points issued by the system, Luo Tian knew that this matter was not so easy to investigate clearly, but fortunately, the system did not punish and there was no time limit.
So Luo Tian didn't think much about it, so he took this task next.
After taking over the task, Luo Tian called Han Xin and Zhao Yun.
"Today, the gate ordered to be assassinated on the way to the court, I don't think this matter is so simple, so I want to send you two out of the palace to investigate this matter!"
When they heard that the order had been assassinated, Han Xin and Zhao Yun showed shocked expressions and expressed shock at the incident.
But when they heard that His Majesty wanted to let the two of them out of the palace to investigate secretly, the two of them still quickly replied: "The ministers receive orders!" ”
So the two said goodbye to Luo Tian, changed into the people's clothes, and went out of the palace.
