Countless figures rushed towards the Ciyuan Palace, but the emperor Zhao Shu at the door did not feel a little frightened, because he knew who the person who entered the palace tonight was.

However, Li Zhang, the commander of the palace on the side, hurriedly pulled out his knife and shouted: "Prepare to kill the thief, prepare to kill the thief." ”

Hundreds of soldiers in front of the palace immediately gathered around, most of their faces were a little pale, behind these generals, the royal guards, most of them saw the real scene of swords for the first time.

There were more and more thieves running on the opposite side, and in the dark night, under the faint light, only human figures could be seen everywhere.

If you really want to fight, these men whose ancestors have glory may not be able to mention their courage at this moment.

Fortunately, Emperor Zhao Shu suddenly shouted: "General Li, don't be impulsive, it's the reinforcements that are coming." ”

"Reinforcements?" Li Zhang was a little puzzled, he had only rushed over not long ago, where did the reinforcements come so quickly?

However, the emperor swore that it was reinforcements, and Li Zhang did not order to rush forward and kill.

Sure enough, someone shouted in front of him: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Chen Ganqi is here to rescue!" ”

Li Zhang was a little puzzled, Gan Qi knew it, and he had seen it a few times in the court, didn't he just be dismissed? Why did you come to the rescue wearing a suit of armor at this time?

Something was wrong, Li Zhang was not stupid, he hurriedly turned his head to look at the emperor.

I saw the emperor smiling all over his face, and he stood on tiptoe and beckoned: "Here, Gan Qing is loyal, come here quickly." ”

Li Zhang didn't understand, but he did understand one thing, that is, the emperor seemed to know everything about tonight, and he knew it well.

Li Zhang knew that he shouldn't ask more, so he stood aside and said nothing.

Emperor Zhao Shu also spoke: "General Li quickly lead people to guard the palace gates inside and outside everywhere, tonight in the imperial city, in all places, no one is allowed to enter or leave the palace." ”

Li Zhang arched his hand: "Obey!" ”

Li Zhang, with doubts in his heart, greeted left and right, led people to the palace gate to guard, and also watched Gan Qi carry a bunch of things to the emperor.

When he saw what Gan Qi was holding on his chest, Li Zhang's face changed greatly, how could he not recognize those seals?

Li Zhang understood, at least he had a rough guess, bowed his head and walked quickly, took the emperor's order, and went to guard the palace gate.

Now this emperor is already a real emperor, and the world is the emperor's after all, and it is a man's. There is no chaos in the palace, which is also a good thing for him. If there is really a dispute in the palace, he Li Zhang is the first person to bear the brunt of the dilemma.

At this point, in fact, Li Zhang's psychology is secretly happy, but he will not show any of it.

Li Zhang was still a little worried, and asked the eunuch palace maid passing by while running: "But who is dead or injured?" ”

When he heard that everyone passing by replied that no one was killed or injured, Li Zhang's heart was completely relieved.

This is the best ending, there are no casualties, the battle in the palace is over, and he, the commander in front of the palace, has no more trouble.

What we have to do now is to guard all the palace gates, large and small, inside and outside, and listen to the emperor's orders, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the palace.

So Li Zhang shouted while running: "Anyone and others will return to their own houses, and they are not allowed to go out and walk around, otherwise they will be severely punished." ”

Gan Qi, on his side, walked up to the emperor and stuffed everything he was holding in his arms into Zhao Shu's arms.

Zhao Shu held several seals, his hands were trembling with excitement, and he sat directly on the ground, then put the seals on his thighs, and looked at them one by one.

"The emperor respects the treasure of the Mandate of Heaven, this side is the most important, this side is the most important, Dao Jian, you have made great contributions." Zhao Shu looked up at Gan Qi and smiled.

has been a stepson for nearly 20 years, a prince for two years, and an emperor for a month or two, trembling for half a lifetime, Zhao Shu at this moment can be regarded as really coming out.

At this moment, Zhao Shu, like a child, looked at several seals with a smiling expression.

"It is a great fortune to succeed, I only hope that Your Majesty will carry on the past and forge ahead into the future and create a prosperous and brilliant world." Gan Qi said.

"I am full of ambitions, and I will definitely live up to the foundation of my ancestors and the people of Limin!" Zhao Shu had some longing and expectation in his heart, to be a Ming Jun and leave his name in history.

Zhao Shu looked at these seals over and over again, and Gan Qi also stood beside him to accompany him.

There are also hundreds of ironclad men, all of whom are secretly looking at the emperor's appearance, and taking a look at Tianyan is also an honor that can be boasted about for a lifetime.

After Zhao Shu slowly calmed down his excitement, he stood up with a few seals, turned his head and entered the Ciyuan Palace, and said: "Dao Jian, you come in with me, and the rest of the people are waiting outside." ”

Gan Qi followed the emperor into the palace, and in the main hall, the queen Gao Tao was also there, and after Gan Qi greeted him, Zhao Shu waved the queen away.

After the hall was empty, Zhao Shu asked with a deep face, "Dao Jian, what do you say I should do next?" ”

Gan Qi thought for a while and said: "The people in the palace, whether they are eunuchs and palace maids, should be released from the palace, and this matter can be handed over to Li Xianli for screening and decision." ”

said that it was released from the palace, but in fact, it was driven out of the palace, and those who were not trustworthy, including some henchmen around the queen mother, could not stay.

Zhao Shu nodded, and asked again: "What about the court?" ”

This is a difficult question to answer. Ganchi pondered.

Outside the imperial city, in the east of the inner city, in the Han Mansion, at this time, the lights suddenly turned on, and people continued to enter the Han Mansion.

Han Qi was wearing a nightgown, his face was a little flustered, and he kept asking, "Did you hear it?" What the hell is going on inside the Imperial City? Why is it so noisy? ”

"Xianggong, the big thing is not good, and the specific villain has not been detected in detail, only that someone entered the palace in the middle of the night."

"Who went to the palace?"

"The villain doesn't know, but I only heard people who passed by and witnessed that a team of ironclad soldiers had entered the palace."

"Nonsense, how can there be soldiers entering the imperial city at night?"

"The villain found several witnesses in a row, and they all said so, and the villain didn't dare to say a word."

"In Miyagi, can you hear the sound of fighting?"

"Never."

Han Qi stood up, he didn't even have shoes on his feet, and he kept calculating in his head, but he didn't know the essentials.

"Xianggong, could it be that there is a change in the front division of the palace?"

Han Qi waved his hand: "Li Zhang, he doesn't have the courage to do anything about the palace." ”

"That ......"

Han Qi couldn't guess clearly, and said directly: "Come on, wait for the change, the old man will personally go to the left door to ask." ”

"The villain is going to gather the people in the house to ensure that the prime minister is well-organized."

Han Qi flicked his hand, frowned again, and closed his eyes again.

It's not that Han Qi is not smart, it's that he couldn't have expected tonight's thing, this Great Song Dynasty has been one hundred and three years, except for some rumors about Taizu Taizong, there has never been a disturbance in the palace because of the struggle for power and profit.

This dynasty in which the literati of the Great Song Dynasty were in power also had this good, that is, there was no real bloody struggle internally. And in the era of both civil and military affairs, or in the era of chaos and martial arts, the palace is contested, that is, the sword is bloody, you live and die.

In the Great Song Dynasty, there was no such thing.

So no matter how Han Qi thought about breaking his head, he couldn't have imagined that Gan Qi would take advantage of the night to lead troops into the palace to grab things.

This is not the courage of a literati.

Han Qi hurriedly dressed neatly, went out in the car, and guarded more than 100 people on the left and right, hugging and going to the left door.

The left door is the most important palace gate in and out of the palace, and the civil and military generals are all in and out of this door.

By the time Han Qi arrived at the left gate, the noise in the imperial city had already subsided, and the lights began to slowly go out.

Han Qi sent someone to call the door: "The general is guarding the door?" Han Xianggong arrived. ”

A voice came from inside the palace gate: "Xiaguan Li Zhang, I am ordered to be here." ”

Han Qi heard Li Zhang's name and personally stepped forward and asked, "General Li, what's going on tonight in the Imperial City?" It's noisy, and I heard that someone said that a soldier had entered, what the hell was going on? ”

Li Zhang paused for a moment before replying, "Han Xiang is too worried, nothing is wrong. ”

Han Qi frowned, can this be okay? Is it okay that the commander of the palace will personally guard the left door?

"General Li, the old man also heard that someone from the Imperial City Division came to report, saying that the palace was in chaos, and asked General Li to tell the truth."

Li Zhang paused again and said: "Han Xianggong forgives, the lower officials don't dare to talk nonsense about the affairs of the palace, there will be a court meeting at dawn, and when Han Xianggong enters the palace, he will ask the official's family." The subordinate commander really didn't dare to say much. ”

Hearing this, Han Qizhi felt his heart pound, and asked again: "General Li really can't say a few words?" ”

Li Zhang replied: "Han Xianggong forgives the crime, and the subordinate officials don't know the details, but they just obey the orders to stay here." ”

"Okay, then the old man is here waiting for the dawn to enter the palace court." Where can Han Qi still sleep?

"Prime Minister Han invites himself to do his own thing, and the lower officials will also patrol the city." After speaking, Li Zhang really got up and walked towards the right door with a team of iron armor, not wanting to be caught by Han Qi and asking questions.

Han Qi, who was terrified, had a bad premonition.

Tonight is particularly long, so that Han Qi lives like a year, constantly looking at the east, and he can't wait for the sun to rise.

In the imperial city, in the Ciyuan Palace.

Gan Qi was answering Emperor Zhao Shu's words: "According to the minister's opinion, Han Qi must be driven out of the court, so that His Majesty can take charge of the overall situation." ”

Zhao Shu nodded, and asked again: "How to drive this old thing out of the court?" ”

"Your Majesty, Han Qi has been worshipping the prime minister for five years, and he has already broken the rules of the previous emperor when he was in the court, and I don't know how many people have blocked the way to promotion, this is the excuse." Gan Qi replied that now he was thinking about things from the emperor's point of view.

For the emperor, if he wants to belittle a courtier, he doesn't need to find any evidence of corruption to impeach, he only needs an excuse.

Zhao Shu nodded, didn't speak for a while, and after a while, a cold light flashed in his eyes, turned his head to look at Gan Qi, and said, "Just do it if you really demote this old thing?" ”

This sentence made Gan Qi stunned.

What does this mean, Emperor?

If you don't degrade it, do you still want to fight and kill?

Want to fight or kill?

Gan Qi understood, Emperor Zhao Shu already hated Han Qi to the core, from the incident of Duke Yu to the recent court incident, Han Qi had already angered Zhao Shu, but Zhao Shu habitually suppressed his emotions and had never shown it before.

But in the Great Song Dynasty, after Zhenzong, there was such a thing as killing scholars and doctors......

It's not easy to do.

Kill a retired prime minister.

It's even harder.

Han Qi, the prime minister, whether among the civil officials or the military attachés, has a certain status and majesty, and the people who rely on Han Qi's big tree to enjoy the shade are all over the country.

Han Qi did not do anything to harm the country and the people on the surface, on the contrary, he had many written achievements.

How do you kill this?

Ganch's mind kept spinning.

Zhao Shu asked again: "How?" ”

Gan Qi replied honestly: "Your Majesty, it is not easy to do. ”

"Can it be done?" Zhao Shu asked again.

If you really want to do it, it doesn't mean that it can't be done, but it's not an official means. It is unrealistic to use official means to put Han Qi to death, even if you want to frame Han Qi for rebellion and rebellion. This also doesn't make sense, this Great Song Dynasty is not a troubled era after all, and there is no one who does not want to be a Ming monarch in this Great Song Dynasty.

Since Zhao Shu asked Gan Qi like this, he just didn't want his reputation as a son of heaven to be tainted, so he asked Gan Qi if he could do it.

Gan Qi is naturally happy to see it, but if you want to kill Han Qi, if the official means can't work, then you have to do it by underground means.

The emperor asked so, and there was only one answer that the emperor was looking forward to, that is, it could be done, and if it couldn't be done, it had to be done.

Gan Qi nodded: "The minister will take care of this." ”

Zhao Shu took a deep breath: "Only in this way can I relieve the hatred in my heart." ”

Zhao Shuqi is really not a kind-hearted person, at least far from Emperor Renzong.

The sky gradually brightened, and outside the left door, there were more and more people waiting for the court.

There was a problem in the Imperial City last night, and many people knew about it.

But no one knew what was going on inside the Imperial City.

Han Qi and Han Daxianggong stood at the head of the crowd, bowing their heads and waiting.

There were also many people who came forward to greet Han Qi, and those who were close would also ask a few words about last night, but Han Qi naturally didn't know anything.

Emperor Zhao Shu, who had not slept all night, discussed with Gan Qi many details of the court later, and then began to freshen up and prepare for the court.

Gan Qi, who had been dismissed, went out with the soldiers who came with him from the Lize Gate that he had entered last night, and it was Di Qian who personally led the way to open the door.

Last night, something actually happened outside Bianliang City, that is, Li Ming, the Imperial City Division, surrounded Ganjia Village at night with thousands of men and horses, and led an elite team to directly attack Ganqi's old mansion.

It was also Li Ming who went to Ganqi's old mansion before, preparing to let Ganqi go quickly, but he didn't expect Ganqi to be at home at all, Li Ming turned his head and took the army to get people.

In Ganqi's family, only his wife and wife were young, and Li Ming did not receive an order to take Ganqi's family, so he retreated with his men and horses, and came into the city early in the morning.

Back in the Imperial City Division, Li Ming naturally knew certain things, and when he thought about it carefully, he was already shocked...... Then I didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Li Mingxing was probably the only person outside the Imperial City who could even guess what happened in the Imperial City last night. It's all on Ganch.

Transferring thousands of people from the Imperial City Division is just a transfer of the tiger from the mountain.

Vertical arch of the main hall, the court meeting begins.

Today's Zhao Shu, Long Xinghu stepped on a high platform, looked at everyone condescendingly, and was already in the world.

The princes of the Manchu Dynasty have already discovered that something is wrong today, and the Empress Dowager Cao, who is hanging the curtain on the side, has not appeared today.

It's not that Empress Dowager Cao doesn't want to appear in the early dynasty, she even wants to really cry in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and let these Great Song Dongliang make decisions for her.

However, she couldn't appear, because at the Gongchen Gate, there was a group of eunuch guards led by Li Xian inside, and a group of military guards led by Li Zhang outside.

The Gongchen Gate is the palace gate connecting the harem to the front hall, and the Empress Dowager Cao can get here.

Li Xian knelt on the ground with a group of eunuchs, blocked the door to death, and then Li Xian practiced kowtowing by himself: "The queen mother forgives her sins, and the slave and maid are ordered by the emperor to guard here, and no one is allowed to enter or exit, otherwise the slave and maid will fall to the ground." ”

"The Queen Mother forgives her sins!"

Li Xian kowtowed like pounding garlic, crying and shouting to the ground, but this road could not be opened, a group of eunuchs knelt all over the ground, and there was not even a place to put their feet.

Li Zhang, who was outside the door, had actually closed the door, and was also shouting: "The queen mother forgives her sins, the minister Li Zhang has been ordered by the emperor to guard here, and there was a thief last night. ”

Empress Dowager Cao cried, beat and made trouble, but she couldn't pass this Gongchen Gate.

Li Xian was unlucky today, next to Queen Cao's kick, he kicked all over and down, and he could only kowtow again and again.

In the vertical arch hall, Zhao Shu sat on the dragon chair and glanced at the crowd with his eyes, as if he was also enjoying the freedom and power of this moment.

The princes of the Manchu Dynasty, no one dared to speak, and everyone's hearts were conjecturing.

Han Qi finally couldn't help it, and stepped forward to speak: "Your Majesty, dare to ask why the Queen Mother hasn't arrived today?" ”

Zhao Shu waved his hand and said: "The queen mother is sick today and can't come, so she specially issued an edict to let me come to the court." He also gave Dabao Wufang, and told me to be diligent and public, have the people in mind, be conscientious, and do my best. It is really my blessing to have such a mother, and every time I think of the words of my mother's advice, it is like an alarm bell ringing, and I dare not slack off at any time. If you have anything to play, I will play it together today, I must think about it in detail, consider it in many ways, listen to it clearly, and dare not have a trace of perfunctory. ”

Zhao Shu's words, I think Gan Qi also contributed a lot.

When Han Qi heard this, he felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost didn't stand firm, and when the darkness of his eyes recovered slightly, Han Qi hurriedly asked again: "I don't know what happened to the Queen Mother?" Whether it is serious or not, do you want the old minister to find more famous doctors to diagnose and treat the Queen Mother. ”

"The imperial doctor has already seen it, saying that the Queen Mother is overworked and needs to rest a lot to replenish her vitality, and she also prescribed medicine. I also secretly swore that from now on, I must forge ahead, so that the queen mother will not have any more hard work, so that the queen mother can live a long life, and live longer than Nanshan. ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister wants to visit the Queen Mother, and he also has a share of the old minister's thoughts, and I ask Your Majesty to agree." Han Qi has no choice, and he has to shake the last straw.

Zhao Shu was already a little impatient, and did not answer Han Qi's words directly, and suddenly asked: "I suddenly remembered something, I don't know what year Han Qing visited the Pingzhang matter under the Tongzhongshu Sect?" ”
