In Yanfu Palace, lights were lit everywhere, and people were frightened everywhere.

Empress Dowager Cao is in the Ciming Hall in the northeast of Yanfu Palace, it turned out that she lived in Ciyuan Hall when she was the queen, and now she has become the queen mother, and she has just moved over.

Empress Dowager Cao is actually a calm person, there was a thief in the palace before, it was in the eighth year of Qingli, when there were only four thieves, but in this harem they killed all sides, looking for Emperor Zhao Zhen everywhere.

At that time, even Renzong Zhao Zhen had no master, but it was still the Empress Dowager Cao who commanded properly, and finally escaped.

Now I heard that there were thieves breaking into the harem, and the Empress Dowager Cao, who was only wearing a silk pajamas, did not panic at all, looked at a group of trembling palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, and just asked: "How many thieves are there?" Where to go? ”

An old eunuch stepped forward and said, "The slave and maid don't know, they only hear people shouting, saying that there are many thieves." ”

"How much is it?" Empress Dowager Cao asked again.

"The slave and maid will go out and investigate."

"What are you all worried about? Do some thieves need to be so alarmed? It's not like you haven't met it before? The order goes down, if anyone catches the thief, he will be rewarded, and then send someone to the front hall to summon Chongban over, and then go to transfer all the troops of the Imperial City Division. "Empress Dowager Cao is still in command.

A group of eunuchs received orders to go, and the front hall had Chongban and guards from the front of the palace, as well as patrol soldiers from various palace roads. Not far from the Imperial Palace, there is the Yamen of the Imperial City Division, where there are thousands of soldiers. Outside Bianliang City, there are more than 100,000 Gyeonggi forbidden troops.

There are a few thieves in Bianliang, which is nothing in the eyes of Empress Dowager Cao.

The last time a thief broke in, the Empress Dowager Cao was still worried about the emperor's safety, but this time the Empress Dowager Cao didn't seem to think about the emperor.

Maybe the current emperor was killed by thieves......

That's exactly what you want.

Empress Dowager Cao sent a group of eunuchs, some went to the front hall to invite the front secretary of the palace, some went to the east, ready to go out of the Chenhui Gate to invite the patrol army, and some people wanted to go directly to the outside of the palace to call the army of the Imperial City Division.

In the harem, there was shouting everywhere, and the front hall was also lit up at this time.

Li Zhang, the commander in front of the palace, also woke up from his sleep, he didn't have time to put on his clothes and armor, and shouted with a waist knife: "Come on, come on, what's going on?" ”

A soldier hurriedly entered and knelt on one knee: "Commander Qiqi, Your Majesty summons." ”

"Di Zhi, what's wrong with the harem?" Li Zhang asked urgently.

"The subordinates don't know the details, only that someone broke into the harem. I only know that His Majesty urgently summoned the commander to go. "Di Ji, Di Qing's fourth son, Chongban in the palace, is the military man under Li Zhang. It was no accident that he was the first to appear here at this time.

Even Di Ji went to see the emperor just now, and rushed here from the emperor.

Li Zhang didn't have time to ask any more, so he picked up the armor with one hand and dragged it behind him, holding the waist knife in the other: "Go, go quickly, protect Your Majesty first." ”

For Li Zhang, the emperor is the most important, followed by others, such as the queen mother.

Li Zhang dragged his armor, ran out with a waist knife, Di Ji galloped north behind him, and went straight to the harem, the emperor lived in the Ciyuan Hall tonight, came from the front hall, and arrived at the Gongchen Gate.

When Li Zhang arrived, there were no thieves left and right in the Ciyuan Palace, and the atmosphere was relieved, and he hurriedly entered the hall and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" ”

"I'm here!" Emperor Zhao Shu walked out from behind a screen.

"Your Majesty is safe." After Li Zhang said this, he turned his head and said to Di Ji again: "Quickly help me put on my armor and wait for me to go out to kill the thief." ”

Suddenly, Zhao Shu said a word: "General Li doesn't need to be in a hurry, the thieves can't get here for a while." ”

"Your Majesty, hurry up and go to the front hall to hide, the minister will definitely kill all the thieves tonight." Li Zhang himself is wearing armor, and Di Ji is also helping him wear it, but this heavy step armor is really difficult to wear.

Zhao Shu didn't move at all, and said: "I am the king of a country, how can I run away from the wilderness?" Doesn't it teach people to laugh when it goes out? General Li doesn't have to go out, just protect me here, and when reinforcements from all over the place come, the thieves will naturally not be able to escape. ”

"Your Majesty should quickly go to the front hall to take refuge, it is a matter of the country, and there is really no room for the slightest mistake!" Li Zhang is loyal, he has never participated in any political struggles, he only knows the emperor, the old emperor Zhao Zhen is his own cousin, he has listened to this cousin all his life.

Now that his cousin is gone, he has passed on the throne to Zhao Shu, and Li Zhang also treats Zhao Shu equally, the emperor is the emperor, and he is the commander in front of the palace, that is, he guards the emperor.

Zhao Shu still didn't move, but sat on the chair, waved his hand and shook his head: "I'm just waiting here, not going anywhere!" With you faithful soldiers here, I am safe. ”

Around Zhao Shu, there are three loyal people, one Li Zhang, one Di Ji, and one named Di Zhen, Di Qing's third son, who is also the Chongban in front of the palace.

Zhao Shu didn't listen to the arrangement so much, but Li Zhang was in a hurry, and he didn't wear his armor halfway, and he didn't wear it anymore, and shouted: "Di Zhi, quickly go to the front hall and the Sifang Palace Road, and call everyone here to protect Your Majesty." Let everyone prepare their swords, and later clear out the thieves. ”

When Di Zhi heard this, he didn't immediately take the order, but glanced at Zhao Shu.

After seeing Zhao Shu's nod, Di Zhi bowed down and rushed to the front hall.

If you want to say that these military men in front of the palace are mostly after meritorious service, the noble family, the ancestors are all people who have made great achievements, and whoever turns four or five generations forward, they are all brave generals on the battlefield. It is these people who are qualified to guard the emperor's safety in the imperial city.

Di Ji turned his head and went to call people again, and along the way, he also met many soldiers from the front of the palace, and Di Ji would also show them the way, and they all gathered in Ciyuan Palace.

This palace is completely chaotic into a pot of porridge, noisy sounds, even outside the palace can be heard, the yamen of the Imperial City Division is outside the palace, adjacent to the imperial city, in fact, no one needs to report the news, the Imperial City Division also knows that something happened in the palace.

There are several guards in the Imperial City Division, all of whom are sending people to dispatch troops and generals to gather everyone in the yamen, and it is only two or three hundred, and several guards with these two or three hundred people began to knock on the palace door to come in.

But there is no way in, without the emperor's order, how can this palace door be opened, especially in the palace there is already chaos, the situation is not clear, this palace door is even more afraid to open easily.

I don't know how much time I have to waste.

The Empress Dowager Cao in the Ciming Hall was the most calm one in the entire palace, and she personally went out of the courtyard gate to check left and right, and some eunuchs rushed back, saying: "Queen Mother, Chenhui Gate can't get out, many soldiers are blocked there, and no one is allowed to enter or exit." ”

When Empress Dowager Cao heard this, she felt a little more relieved, and said: "There is a soldier who has come in, so there is no need to pass on any news, and the thief will definitely not be able to escape." ”

While speaking, I saw a group of soldiers running towards Ciming Hall from afar, and Empress Dowager Cao also showed a little smile: "It's fast, Li Zhang's diligence is worthy of praise." ”

The eunuchs around him were also very happy, and shouted while waving: "Come here, the Queen Mother is here, come and protect the Queen Mother." ”

That team of soldiers was really obedient, and when they heard that the Queen Mother was here, their footsteps were even faster, and they rushed to the front in an instant.

A military man in front of the head stood still in a few steps, looking left and right a few times.

The eunuch was immediately furious: "Hey! , you are a rude soldier, you can see the queen mother, but you are not polite? ”

When the soldier in front of him heard this, he took two steps forward and asked, "This is the Empress Dowager Cao?" ”

Empress Dowager Cao frowned, and the eunuch raised his hand and pointed: "Bold!" ”

Sure enough, the military man was reprimanded by the eunuch, bowed down, and bowed: "Minister, Gan Qi Gan Daojian, meet the Queen Mother!" ”

Empress Dowager Cao was shocked when she heard this, and subconsciously asked, "Who do you say you are?" ”

The military man bowed again: "Minister, Gan Qi Gan Daojian, meet the Queen Mother Sheng'an!" ”

"You...... How did you get into the palace in the middle of the night? Empress Dowager Cao couldn't believe it.

Gan Qi straightened up and said, "Just walked in." ”

Empress Dowager Cao hurriedly took a few steps back and asked, "Do you know what a big crime it is for you to enter the palace in the middle of the night?" ”

Gan Qi lifted his helmet, fully exposed his eyes, and replied, "The minister came tonight to ask the Queen Mother for a few things for Your Majesty. ”

"Bold, presumptuous!" Empress Dowager Cao took a few steps back, where she didn't know what was going on in front of her, what kind of thief entered the palace, it was obviously the white-eyed wolf who couldn't raise it and sent someone to grab something. Empress Dowager Cao, who was terrified, was already about to retreat to the Ciyuan Palace.

"Dare to ask the Queen Mother, where is the thing?" Ganchi also bowed politely.

"Don't think, you tell that white-eyed wolf, don't want to take anything from this palace, if he is really so ruthless, kill this palace, and see what kind of face he, a mother-killer, has to face the people of the world." Empress Dowager Cao is really not cowardly.

Gan Qi took a deep breath, slowly raised his hand, turned his head and said, "Everyone, go in and search for me!" ”

Empress Dowager Cao was already standing at the gate of the courtyard, and when she saw that Gan Qi was going to send someone in to search, she immediately opened her hands and stopped at the gate: "Unless the palace is dead, no one wants to touch the relics of the emperor." ”

Gan Ba, who had just gotten up and was about to rush in, stopped at this time, and seemed to be really a little weak-hearted, after all, he was facing the queen mother of the entire Great Song Dynasty in front of him, Gan Ba was murderous without blinking, and he was also bold, but in the face of the queen mother of the Great Song Dynasty, he still subconsciously stopped.

But seeing Gan Qi take a few steps forward, he said: "The Queen Mother wants to gain power, and she doesn't ask the ancestors in the temple if they agree!" ”

"How can you be allowed to be an outsider in royal affairs? This palace is the orthodox queen mother of the Song Dynasty, and she guards the society for the first emperor, why not? "Empress Dowager Cao still has to debate with Gan Qi a few times.

I saw Gan Qi's footsteps moving forward again and again, and he raised his hand and pointed: "The woman who steals power and steals the country dares to talk nonsense here." ”

Empress Dowager Cao stopped in front of Gan Qi and never took a step back, she really didn't believe that Gan Qi dared to do anything to her, even if she let Zhao Shu come in person, Empress Dowager Cao was not afraid of what Zhao Shu would dare to do to herself.

is also the truth, loyalty, filial piety, loyalty, and filial piety, the queen mother is the mother, can Zhao Shu really have it? The emperor could not be unvirtuous.

It's just that I didn't expect Gan Qi to take a few steps forward and walk in front of the Queen Mother, and suddenly there was a pull behind him, and a woman, where could she withstand Gan Qi's pull, she had already stumbled to the side.

Gan Qi had already turned around: "Go in and search!" ”

Gan Ba was already the first to rush in, Di Yong followed closely behind, Shi Honglei lowered his head, and then went in, and Zhi Kexing also turned his head to the side, as if he was going in hard.

Only Di Zhen hesitated, but he was also frightened by Gan Qi's action just now, he knew what he was here for tonight, and he also knew that he was going to make a great contribution tonight. But seeing that Gan Qi directly pushed the Queen Mother aside, and even made the Queen Mother stumble a few steps to the ground, this scene made him stunned.

I heard Gan Qi shouting again: "Go in and search, dig three feet into the ground, and find out the great treasure and send it to Your Majesty." ”

Gan Qi shouted again, and Di Zhen also stiffened his scalp, and crossed the threshold in a few steps.

Looking behind him, there were countless large and small soldiers, and they were rushing away.

In this Ciyuan Palace, chickens and dogs immediately jumped up, and there were figures turning over boxes and cabinets everywhere.

Empress Dowager Cao sat on the ground, stunned for a long time, she even thought she was dreaming, how could anyone dare to do it to herself?

The eunuch on the side was already crying, and while pulling the Queen Mother up, he said, "Is the Queen Mother okay?" ”

Empress Dowager Cao sat on the ground and couldn't get up, and suddenly cried out: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have a spirit in the sky, look at these chaotic ministers and thieves, look at the new emperor you elected, look at the concubine, as soon as you leave, someone dares to beat the concubine...... Your Majesty, open your eyes and look at ......."

Gan Qi stood aside, looking at the old woman who was crying bitterly, and shook his head again and again......

"Your Majesty...... The rebellious ministers and thieves are like this, the family and the country are unfortunate, the society is not guaranteed, the concubine will die tonight, and the death will accompany Your Majesty, Your Majesty, take a look...... Look at the ...... in this palace."

"Alas......" Gan Qi sighed, a woman is a woman, and in the end, after all, it is a cry, a fuss, and a hanging.

"The Queen Mother, the Emperor's edict is clear, and it is not the current son who does not respect the edict, but the Queen Mother. Even when he came to heaven, how wise the emperor was, he must know who was right and who was wrong. "Gan Qi is not here for a coup d'état, nor is he here to force the palace, nor is he here to kill people.

It's here to grab something.

snatched the emperor's treasure and handed it over to Zhao Shu, and everything was fine.

Later, more on that later.

"Rebellious ministers and thieves, you can't die well, you can't die well...... Empress Dowager Cao, at this time, seems to have become a woman on the street, only abuse.

For today, Gan Qi is also deliberate, in order to prevent Han Qi from detecting anything, Gan Qi is obedient, he doesn't say a word in the court, he is dismissed or something, Gan Qi is also very cooperative, and even no one is seen.

In order to transfer the Imperial City Division outside the Imperial City, Gan Qi even put the family in danger and was surrounded by a large army, but fortunately, there was a Li Ming who could entrust it a little and delay the time.

In order to persuade Di Qing, Gan Qi also used all his tongue, and it was not until Gan Qi moved Han Qi out that he persuaded Di Qing to reluctantly cooperate with the matter. also repeatedly assured Di Qing that he would bring troops into the palace just to get things, and he would not hurt anyone, let alone kill anyone.

And Zhao Shu, Gan Qi actually took a little risk, in order to prevent Han Qi from detecting anything abnormal, the whole thing, Emperor Zhao Shu was actually kept in the dark until the last moment, and it was not until the last moment that Di Di Di was clear.

In other words, Gan Qi acted like this, and did not ask Zhao Shu's opinion at all.

However, Gan Qi also knows in his heart, as long as the thing is done, Zhao Shu at this time can only be grateful, as for whether Zhao Shu will think more in the future, Gan Qi can't care so much, because Zhao Shu only has four years to live. Also because of the current situation, Gan Qi has reached a dead end and has to do it.

Empress Dowager Cao was crying all over the world.

Hundreds of soldiers are looking for them all over the house.

After a while, Gan Ba sent something to Gan Qi: "Big brother, isn't this it?" ”

Gan Qi picked it up and saw that the words under the seal were wrong, and replied, "No, look for it again." ”

"Mr. Gan, is this the thing?"

"No, look for it again."

None of these soldiers knew what the emperor's treasure was, but everyone who looked like it showed it to Gan Qi.

Fortunately, Gan Qi knew.

Empress Dowager Cao didn't hide these things too deeply, and she didn't expect this to happen tonight.

After a while, Gan Ba sent another thing.

Gan Qi flipped over the seal and looked at it, and wrote a few big words: The treasure of the Great Song Dynasty.

Gan Qi immediately said: "This is, and, continue to look for it." ”

After a while, Shi Honglei found something, and Gan Qi flipped it over and looked at it again: Emperor Tianjing is fateful, and the virtuous are prosperous.

"This one too, and, look for it again."

Gan Ba sent another thing: the treasure of the heavens.

"This one too, and more."

Di Yong sent another thing: the emperor congratulated the treasure of the destiny of heaven.

Gan Qi was overjoyed: "This is the most important, but there is still one, find it quickly." ”

This one is made by Zhenzong and used the most by Renzong, and this one is the most needed and important in daily life.

There is also an imitation of the Qin seal, which is the so-called heirloom jade seal, which reads: Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity.

The authenticity of this Qin seal will appear in thirty years. But there have been imitations throughout the ages.

When the last one arrived, Gan Qi didn't wait any longer, got up and left with a bunch of seals, and many soldiers rushed around.

and Empress Dowager Cao's cry shook the sky: "Those who can't die well, white-eyed wolves, traitors, it's not a pity to die...... Murderous people...... Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Open your eyes and see......"

On Zhao Shu's side, at this time, hundreds of soldiers in front of the palace had been gathered, and Li Zhang, the commander of the front division of the palace, was already in armor, and kept asking for orders to go out to kill thieves, but they were all stopped by Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu was flustered, he knew everything about tonight, and he was only worried that Gan Qigong would fail......

If it is successful, tomorrow's court meeting will be a big drama.

Zhao Shu, who was upset, suddenly got up, looked left and right, and said, "I want to go to the door to find out the thief's situation, you will go with me." ”

Li Zhang blocked in front of Zhao Shu again, and said, "Your Majesty can't be in danger!" ”

Zhao Shu couldn't wait, no matter what Li Zhang stopped, he walked towards the gate.

Li Zhang was nervous: "Raise your shield, raise your shield to protect Your Majesty!" ”

Just when Zhao Shu had just walked out of the gate, he had already seen countless military and Han shadows, and they all walked here.
