If you want to say that there are many people in the world who want the emperor to die early, there must be a lot. Among the civil and military officials, there must be many who wish for the emperor's early death. But for many people in the Western Garden Army and the Northern and Southern Armies, the Son of Heaven was like a god at the same time, requiring unconditional obedience, at least for now.

Relying on the edict of the Son of Heaven to open the city gates, the Yue cavalry camp quickly passed through the busy streets, entered the palace under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of people and officials at all levels, and then quickly lined up in the square in front of the Deyang Palace.

Liu Hong, supported by Zhang Rang and a strong little yellow door, walked out of the main hall and inspected the army.

The soldiers of the Yue cavalry battalion knelt down on one knee and shouted long live the mountain. Chen Cheng stepped forward, walked up the steps, took the Son of Heaven Sword from Liu Hong's hand, turned around, faced the dense crowd of people below, looked at the pair of fanatical eyes, and said in his heart: "Morale is available." ”

The news of the Yue cavalry battalion entering Nangong soon spread throughout Luoyang. After a brief silence, all careerists and people with intentions went into action.

The general's mansion was crowded again, and in the lobby, the dignitaries and nobles were talking. But there is only one central idea, that is, to do it immediately, and not to let the matter of the great general Dou Wu happen again. He Jin was in the first seat, Yuan Kui sat next to him, and said: "My family has 5,000 private soldiers, and they have been transferred to the suburbs of Luoyang, and they can be rushed outside the city within a day!" As long as the general takes the lead in raising the banner of righteousness, the righteous men and gentlemen will follow up, and sweeping away the evil will definitely be like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves! ”

The others also shouted, "General, please send troops immediately!" ”

"Make up your mind!"

He Jin was annoyed by the noise, turned his head, and saw He Miao, the Marquis of Jiyang, sitting on the side without saying a word, so he asked, "What is your opinion?" ”

He Miao was in such a crowded place, and he really didn't want to speak, but since He Jin had already asked, he could only stubbornly say: "I think, it's better not to act rashly." If there is no will of the Son of Heaven, sending troops will easily be regarded as a rebellion! ”

Because of He Miao's words and deeds in the past, the scholars classified him as a pro-eunuch. Now that he spoke like this, instead of cooling down the fanatical mood, it was like adding fuel to the fire, and a few grumpy ones immediately began to scold.

"Miserly villain!"

"Shameless!"

"I'll kill you first!"

After a period of chaos, He Jin's family saved He Miao from his fists and kicks. Seeing He Miao's bruised nose and swollen face after being beaten, He Jin roared angrily: "Give me out!" ”

The scholars scolded and retreated, He Jin waved his hand and asked the family members to go out too, and then personally picked up a piece of silk, wiped the blood from the corner of He Miao's mouth, and said helplessly: "It's hard for you." These people are really bold and reckless, and they dare to beat people in front of me. ”

He Miao was touched in the sore spot, gasped, and then smiled bitterly: "If I don't come out, my brother won't be roasted on the fire by them?" ”

He Jin said angrily: "They have already roasted me on the fire!" Yuan Kui, they knew that I would do it, but they didn't think about the consequences of doing it at all! ”

"Of course they're not afraid, brother, don't you hear? The Yuan family alone has transferred 5,000 parts outside Luoyang City, even if something happens, only our He family is unlucky. Could it be that the imperial court still has the ability to go to Runan to search for the Yuan family? It is a well-known thing that the Son of Heaven is critically ill, and when the new emperor ascends the throne, is it not to give amnesty to the world? ”

He Miao gasped again, and said, "Brother, it's time for you to make a decision, if you drag it out like this, I'm afraid those people will not be able to help but do it themselves!" ”

"Hey, it would be good if they dared to do it," He Jin threw the silk on the ground and said, "The Son of Heaven is still here, whoever dares to disturb me will destroy him." ”

He Miao said: "Don't worry, the queen is my own sister, and when the Son of Heaven dies, we can sweep away the eunuchs in the name of the queen." ”

He Miao said: "I hope so." ”

He Jin said again: "But in front of everyone, I still have to reprimand you, for the sake of our He family, I can only wronged you." ”

He Miao smiled bitterly again and said, "I know." ”

He hesitated for a moment, and said; "If you can, it's better to let them go and drive them back to the fiefdom."

He Jin said: "This is all a trivial matter, the main problem now is to grasp the news in the palace, and as soon as the Son of Heaven dies, we will immediately lead troops to force the palace!" You go to the palace to talk to the queen, if we don't support her outside, she won't be able to gain a foothold in the palace! Let us know as soon as she has news! ”

"Naturally, I will tell the queen," He Miao said, "but the Son of Heaven transferred the Yue Cavalry Camp into the palace, but I am afraid that the news will not be so easy to come out." ”

"The Yuecai battalion is guarding the South Palace, and the North Palace is still guarded by Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang's people, don't you have a good relationship with them? Now is the time to put it to use. ”

He Miao touched the wound on his forehead and said, "I'll go to the palace now." ”

After the Yue cavalry battalion entered the South Palace, they quickly took over the guarding of several palace gates. The palace gates assigned to them were located at the end near Luoshui, and dozens of soldiers were sent to guard each palace gate. Chen Cheng personally went to every palace gate to check the equipment and status of the soldiers, and only after making sure that the deployment was properly made did he put his mind at ease.

At this time, Nangong was in the double guard of the Xiyuan Army and the Yue Cavalry Battalion, and the generals who led the troops were Jian Shuo and Chen Cheng. Unless the two of them come to an agreement, no one can separate China and the world. I don't know if the Son of Heaven deliberately arranged this way, or inadvertently caused such a result.

Just as Chen Cheng was inspecting the Imperial City, He Miao's frame also drove into the North Palace. He was the elder brother of the current queen, and after being informed, he was quickly put in. The relationship between Zhao Zhong and He Miao has always been good, and when he heard that he was coming, he personally greeted him at the door.

"Jiyang Hou," Zhao Zhong said with a smile, "Why don't you report it first?" The old slave also asks someone to clean the door so that he can welcome you. ”

He saw the wound on He Miao's head, but it was not convenient to ask, so he pretended not to see it.

He Miao smiled and said: "Da Changqiu is too polite, I just heard that the queen has not been very happy recently, so I came in to talk to her, how dare I disturb you." ”

"Ouch, Jiyang Hou, you're going to torture the old slave," Zhao Zhong smiled even brighter, "Please come here, the old slave will show you the way." ”

Zhao Zhong led He Miao to the Changqiu Palace, summoned people to serve wine and food, and then said to He Miao and Queen He with a smile: "If the two of you say something considerate, the old slave will not bother, if you need anything, just call out, and the little cubs are waiting below." ”

He Miao said with a smile: "There is a long autumn." ”

Empress He kept a cold face, and after Zhao Zhong led someone to push it down, she said lightly: "Jiyang Hou came over today, but is there anything wrong?" ”

He Miao said: "It's nothing, I just heard that the queen was not very happy in the palace, so I came to take a look." ”

Empress He's face was moved, she sighed, and said, "It's still the mother's family that can be relied on, and my brother has a heart." The Son of Heaven has not come to the Changqiu Palace for a long time, and it is very deserted here. ”

He Miao said: "If the queen feels lonely, she can ask Wuyangjun to enter the palace to stay for a few more days." ”

Wuyangjun is Queen He's mother, and when she is fine, she often enters the palace to have a family relationship with the queen.

Empress He shook her head, not wanting to talk about this topic anymore, and said, "Jiyang Hou should tell me something." ”

He Miao: "There really is nothing wrong. ”

"Don't say such things as the Marquis of Jiyang," Empress He said: "Today, Jin Wu led the troops into the city, and I already knew that someone would come to Changqiu Palace." But I thought it would be the general, but I didn't expect it to be you. ”

He Miao said: "The general originally wanted to come over in person, but he couldn't leave because of something temporary. ”

Empress He sneered and said, "I'm afraid." ”

He Miao sighed: "How can you not be afraid? Even if the matter of the general Dou Wu is too far away, the matter of Yangqiu is not far from now, once he makes a mistake, he will never recover. Not only was his reputation ruined, but he also affected his family. ”

He said to Empress He sincerely: "The general and the queen are one, if there is no support from the queen, how can the general lead the foreign dynasty?" In the same way, if there is no general to echo outside, how can the queen gain a foothold in the palace? We have the same blood in our bodies, which cannot be erased in any way. ”

"Isn't it a matter of course for the queen to help the general? You're not just helping the general, you're helping yourself. ”

Queen He said: "How can this palace not know this truth? But the Son of Heaven only likes that Dong Hou now, and ignores us wood, even if I have the heart, what can I help the general? ”

He Miao hurriedly said: "You don't need the queen to do anything, just reveal some news." ”

He lowered his voice and asked, "Does the Empress know what happened to the Son of Heaven's body?" ”

Empress He hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't say for sure." ”

"When was the last time the Empress saw the Son of Heaven?"

"Six days ago."

"How was the Son of Heaven looking that time? What was done? How's the meal going? ”

"When I saw the Son of Heaven that time, his face was pale, but he seemed to be in high spirits." Empress He recalled: "When I went that time, he was still writing. ”

"By the way," Empress He remembered one thing, and said, "That day, His Majesty ordered you to be transferred to the Xiyuan Army, and let Zhi Jinwu concurrently serve as the captain of the Yue Cavalry." ”

"Writing? It should be fine, but it's not right. He Miao frowned and asked, "Does the queen remember what His Majesty wrote?" ”

Empress He frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then said uncertainly: "It seems that it is written by Emperor Wu's "Autumn Wind Speech", yes, that's right, His Majesty wrote "Autumn Wind Speech", when I went in, I also heard him read a sentence: Joy is very sad and sad." ”

He Miao looked solemn and said, "Then this is right." ”

"Worthy of what?" Empress He looked at He Miao nervously and said, "Is something going to happen to the Son of Heaven?" ”

He Miao wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated for a while, and decided to talk to him, he lowered his voice to the lowest, approached the past, and said in Queen He's ear: "Queen, you have to be ready, the Son of Heaven is estimated to be in these few days." ”

The woman's family is short-sighted, and he is afraid that he will not make it clear that the queen will miss a big thing.

Queen He has not been close to men for a long time, and was sprayed with heat on her ears, although they are brothers, she can't help but feel a little hot, she avoided a little back, and said, "You mean?" ”

He Miao said nervously: "Empress, you must always pay attention to the movements of Nangong, and once the news of the death of the Son of Heaven comes out, you must immediately notify the general." This matter is related to our net worth and life, we must keep it in our hearts, earnestly, earnestly! ”

Empress He also became nervous and said, "I know, I will definitely inform the general and brother as soon as there is news." ”

He Miao said: What are you notifying me to do? Can I still lead troops to force the palace?

But when he thought that the queen was just a woman, he didn't plan to complain, and when he left, he thought of one more thing and asked, "Whose person is guarding the compound road connecting the South Palace and the North Palace now?" ”

"It's Da Changqiu's people, what's wrong? Is there a problem with this one too? ”

"Oh, it's okay, it's good that it's not Jian Shuo and Yue Qi's lieutenants."
