Chapter 508 Calm

Song Yu didn't know when he had flashed to the emperor's side, and he raised his foot and kicked the soldier away.

The emperor breathed a long sigh of relief, secretly wiped a handful of sweat oozing from his forehead, looked at Gu Chen and said, "Gu Qing, if you come late, I will be escorted to read the edict in front of thousands of people." ”

You must know that the edict is the most serious punishment for an emperor, and it will go down in history, and none of the emperors of the past generations do not care about their names.

If Gu Chen hadn't laid out the situation early today, he was afraid that he would rather commit suicide than suffer such great humiliation.

"Isn't the Third Highness here? Your Majesty is afraid that you are too worried. Gu Chen smiled and said, "The minister also said before, although these people have firearms in their hands, but these firearms in their hands are all defective, you see, they shot indiscriminately in the palace, and no one was killed, and the amount of ammunition is limited, they can break into this palace, it is already the limit, at this time, what they hold in their hands is just some scrap iron." ”

As he spoke, he snatched the firearm from one of them and randomly pulled the trigger on a courtier, who immediately shook his body and shouted: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, it's all Lord Shi, and Lord Shi instigated us to do this." ”

Syllable!

After a soft sound, the entire inner sanctum fell silent for an instant.

Then, the smell of urine spread, instantly hitting the nostrils of everyone in the room.

Song Yu covered his mouth and nose in disgust and said, "Commander Gu, you know that there is no gunpowder in that firearm, so why scare him, how disgusting is this." ”

Gu Chen casually threw the firearm to the ground, and said insincerely: "I'm sorry, the minister didn't expect this person to be so intimidated, so bold, and dare to follow him to force the palace, it's really funny." ”

The frightened minister immediately collapsed to the ground when he heard that there was no ammunition in the firecracker, and while he breathed a sigh of relief, an unspeakable sense of shame welled up in his heart, and he felt that the courtier, who had been standing closer to him, silently removed his feet and stood farther away.

"Gu Chen, you really have collusion with Song Yu!" After Song Xi's face changed violently, he suddenly pointed at Gu Chen and Song Yudao, "I'll just say, it was you who sneaked into the palace before." ”

Song Yu spread his hands and said with an innocent face: "Cousin Xi, don't talk nonsense, I didn't sneak back to the palace, besides, Cousin Xi has raised so many soldiers and horses privately, and he still has so many firearms, so there is no need to say more about who injured Jiang Guifei." ”

The facts are all in front of him, this Song Xi actually tried to plant a seed of doubt in the emperor's heart, it is really a thief's heart that does not die.

However, in view of his rebellious behavior, no matter what he said at the moment, the emperor would not believe it.

"If it weren't for such a bureau today, I'm afraid the king of Changle County would still be unwilling to expose his ambitions." Gu Chen tugged at the corners of his lips and waved his big hand, "Put him in the heavenly prison and wait for His Majesty to fall." ”

"Yes." The two soldiers who were originally pressing Song Xi answered, and immediately escorted Song Xi out.

Song Xi knew that the general trend had gone, and after the initial panic, he quickly broke the jar and broke it, but before he died, he couldn't let others have a good time, he was escorted out while shouting at the top of his voice: "Uncle Huang, your most trusted commander Gu has actually colluded with your son for a long time, otherwise, why would their cooperation today be so tacit?" You can kill me today, but one day you will be taken from the throne by your own son......"

As Song Xi was escorted out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, his voice gradually became inaudible.

The ministers in the hall who originally wanted to compete for the dragon's merit were frightened one by one, and their whole bodies trembled, as if they were going to be unable to stand in the next moment, how could the emperor be a soft-hearted person if he could sit in this position? Back then, none of the brothers who seized the throne survived, so what would happen to the ministers who betrayed him?

The ending can be imagined.

Rebellion is to be beheaded all over the house!

For a while, everyone knelt on the ground and trembled, and kept begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, the ministers were all bewitched by the king of Changle County, he said that His Majesty was coerced by the three princes, and the ministers came in with him to save him." ”

"Yes, yes, the ministers don't know anything about the rebellion of the king of Changle County, and the ministers were deceived by him."

……

A group of ministers found excuses to clear their charges, and tried their best to declare that they did not know in advance, and Song Xi deceived them everything.

Song Yu glanced at these people lightly and said, "You don't know in advance, your father is clear in his heart, so you don't have to excuse yourself here, just drag it down, so as not to stain your father's eyes." ”

As he spoke, he fanned the smell that permeated the house with his hand in disgust, and motioned to Grandpa Pei to quickly find someone to clean up the place.

The emperor was not in the mood to be troubled by this call, and he also pretended to be very tired after pretending to be sick for so many days, and at this time things finally calmed down, and he felt that his ears hurt after being noisy by these people for a long time, so he waved his hand to signal what they should do, and he immediately went to the harem.

Gu Chen quickly ordered people to clean up the battlefield, and sent the wounded to the Tai Hospital, so that the Tai Doctor could deal with them one by one, except for a few palace maids and eunuchs who died during the melee, basically did not cause much damage.

The concubines and princesses in the palace were all relieved when they heard that the rebellion had been rehabilitated.

There was such a big disturbance in the Palace of Nourishing Heart, and the house was still full of blood and the smell of urine, the emperor suddenly lost his interest in living here, and immediately went to the harem.

Song Yu and Gu Chen glanced at each other, and then the two of them dispersed in different directions, without much communication. The egg hurts

A palace forced incident orchestrated by Song Xi was all calm in one night, and after this night, the emperor began to reconsider the candidate for the crown prince.

As Song Xi said, he has many sons, and he is now in the prime of life, and he has time to train his next heir, so he doesn't need to be in such a hurry to make a prince.

However, because of this, he also saw the disadvantages of not establishing a prince, that is, those princes will have ideas about this position, and there are not many adult princes now, but if in a few years, those princes are adults, and they can't guarantee that they won't fight to the death for this position.

It is also a good thing to establish a reserve as soon as possible, so he should not delay.

So, for several days, the emperor edicted some pure sincerity to enter the palace to try to see if there was a suitable candidate in their hearts.

To be exact, to see if the person they want is the same as the one they want.

For these, Gu Chen didn't care at all.

After removing Song Xi's biggest hidden danger, Gu Chen had no nostalgia for this position, so he thought that after a while, after choosing a suitable person to take his place, he would resign and concentrate on his business at home.

For the rest, he believes that Song Yu can handle it, and, judging from the current situation in the court, no one can compete with Song Yu for the position of the crown prince.

He was not worried about the emperor's hesitation, after all, choosing Song Yu was the best candidate, and he didn't think that the emperor would choose someone else in the end.

After all those rebels were sorted out, it would be more than ten days later.

Qin Niang looked at the scorching sun and sighed: "Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the weather to go out to breathe, but now it's hot again, I'm afraid I won't be able to go." ”

She said with a look of regret and stuffed another peeled grape into her mouth.

Gu Chen pinched her little face and said: "If you really want to go, we can leave earlier, the sun is not so big in the morning, and besides, it would be good to spread more turf on the roof of the carriage to block light and heat dissipation, if you feel hot, I will fan you." ”

When Qin Niang heard this, her eyes immediately lit up: "Are you serious? ”

Gu Chen nodded: "It is an honor for my husband to serve my wife." ”

Qin Niang's heart was immediately fulfilled.

Originally, it was calculated that the weather was not so hot in those days, and the husband and wife went to live in the villa together for two days, but because of Song Xi's forced palace, it was delayed for some time, and because of the large number of rebels involved, all of them needed to be dealt with in a follow-up, so it was inevitable that some time would be delayed.

This delay, the good weather is gone.

For this reason, Qin Niang was depressed for several days.

Hearing Gu Chen say this at this moment, she still had something to worry about, she grabbed his hand and said excitedly: "Then let's go tomorrow." ”

At this time, no matter what she said, Gu Chen naturally responded to everything, and every thing was considered for her, and it would not make her feel uncomfortable.

Early in the morning of the second day, Gu Chen asked people to set up the carriage, prepared all the things to eat along the way, and took the carriage with Qin Niang all the way out of the capital, heading towards the hot spring villa outside the city.

He took leave with the emperor and wanted to go to the villa for a few days, and the emperor also knew that in order to catch Song Xi recently, he had indeed never slackened, so he agreed.

As for Song Xi, it is said that he was in prison every day to see the emperor, but the emperor didn't even want to pay attention to him, and he wouldn't believe a word of what he said.

Song Xi has always emphasized that Song Yu did return to Beijing without an edict that day, and he also sneaked into the palace and went to see the queen, so he must have some plan, but no one believed this even if he said it.

Just when Song Xi was exhausted, Song Yu suddenly came.

The guards in the cell were all sent out, and at this moment, only Song Xi and Song Yu were left in the entire prison.

One in prison and one outside.

One refers to the orchid jade tree, clean and elegant, and the other describes it as embarrassed and haggard.

After a few breaths of confrontation, Song Xi spoke: "Now that there is no one here, do you dare to admit that you did secretly return to Beijing that day?" ”

Song Yu quietly admired his embarrassment and anxiety for a while, hooked his lips and smiled, and nodded generously: "Yes, the palace is back to Beijing, and moreover, I also entered the palace and went to see my mother, but so what?" Do you think anyone will believe it? ”

Song Xi's eyes widened, and he suddenly asked excitedly, "What is your purpose in doing this?" ”
