Zhao Yuankang is loyal on the outside, but he has done a lot of tricks in private. In a few years, almost all the middle and senior generals in the palace guards and forbidden troops were replaced by him, and all the appointments were private individuals inserted by Lu Zhongtian. The entire palace front division guards and forbidden troops were almost all in the hands of Lu Zhongtian.

The relationship between Zhao Yuankang and Lu Zhongtian is not known to anyone at all. Lu Zhongtian and Zhao Yuankang don't see each other a few times a year, and Lu Zhongtian has been carefully protecting this precious chess piece, just so that it can play a role in turning things around at a critical time. Zhao Yuankang was grateful for Lu Zhongtian's cultivation and was loyal to Lu Zhongtian, and some news in the palace was heard and released by Zhao Yuankang. The change of dressing was also done by Zhao Yuankang himself. Although Zhao Yuankang can't be by the emperor's side all the time like Qian Delu, his identity as the commander of the palace can enter and leave the emperor's bedroom at will, and no one will doubt his behavior. So, it was easy for him.

Lin Jue's suspicion was Qian Delu, but he didn't have any doubts about Zhao Yuankang, because Zhao Yuankang gave people the impression that he was inconspicuous and loyal, and there was nothing suspicious. It wasn't until that day that Lin Jue saw Zhao Yuankang secretly standing under the pillar and eavesdropping on his conversation with Qian Delu that he felt that something was wrong. But he just felt that something was wrong, but he wasn't completely sure that he was fine. Otherwise, Lin Jue would have to report Guo Chong's matter, because such a person is by Guo Chong's side, which is extremely dangerous. He is in charge of the command of tens of thousands of elite forbidden troops in front of the palace. The emperor's life is in his hands, and once such a person is disloyal, the results can be called terrible.

"I'm really stupid, Qian Delu reminded me many times, saying that your behavior is suspicious, but I didn't pay attention to it, but scolded him, thinking that he was competing with you for favor. Who would have thought that it would be true. I'm ashamed of Chand. What about Chandlu? What did you guys do to him? Have you killed him? Guo Chong exclaimed regretfully.

Qian Delu is almost all-weather by the emperor's side, and only this kind of person who serves the emperor around the clock can gain insight into Zhao Yuankang's suspiciousness during many days of observation. It's just a pity that all this was ignored.

"Chandlu? We're looking for him, too. Father, don't worry, the inside and outside of the palace have been blocked, and he can't escape. The son assures you that Chandroo will definitely die. Erchen will definitely kill him. This dog slave has been disrespectful to me several times, and his son will not let him live. Guo Xu said with a sneer.

"Rebel, you rebel. You don't want to succeed. I, Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Great Zhou, will not sit idly by and watch you rebel and usurp the throne. Lin Jue, Yang Jun, they won't sit idly by. You don't want to succeed. Guo Chong scolded angrily.

Guo Xu sneered: "Father, don't count on Yang Shumi, he can't wait for me to ascend the throne, at most it's just a gesture." As for Lin Jue, he can't protect himself, what can he do? After I solve the matter in front of me first, the first person to die next is him, as well as your imperial brother King Liang. They also have to die. Father, you still accept your fate, quickly make an order to pass it on to me, and I will spend a lot of time in the province. ”

Guo Chong's heart was twisting like ten thousand steel knives, both remorseful and painful. He only felt that he was about to turn his back on his breath, and he opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't make a sound. Suddenly, he fell backwards and fell to the ground with a thud.

Guo Xu was startled, but he was not too flustered. He didn't want to kill his father with his own hands, but if Guo Chong himself died, he would be exempted from the name of killing his father. At that moment, he summoned the inner attendants and ordered them to serve and take care of Guo Chong, and he took Zhao Yuankang out of the dormitory.

"Your Highness, the emperor refuses to pass on the throne, how can this be good?" Zhao Yuankang frowned and asked.

"What's the hurry, what can he do if he doesn't pass on the throne? I'll ask him later. Let's deal with the others first, and leave no one who should be killed, so as not to leave future troubles in the future. Ordered people to guard this place closely, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, and violators were killed. You mobilize some more people to go to the harem with me to find someone, and none of those who are making trouble behind their backs will want to live. Guo Xu sneered.

Chapter 1038

The setting sun shines obliquely in the palace, illuminating the red wall and blue tiles on the top of the glazed palace with golden brilliance and golden brilliance. At this time, if you can climb up and look at it, you will find that the entire palace is bathed in glory, majestic and sacred. That is also in line with the impression of the Ouchi Imperial Palace in the minds of the common people, and the sanctity and majesty of the Imperial Palace represent the sacred majesty of the imperial power. The imperial palace is the holy place of the Great Zhou, and it is the place where people admire and fear.

But at this moment, I'm afraid no one realizes that in this sacred place shrouded in golden light, a huge change is taking place. People could not see the soldiers and horses galloping away in front of the temple within the high walls, blocking the palace gates and blocking the palaces everywhere. I couldn't see the panicked and frightened expressions of the thousands of chamberlains and maids in the palace.

Inside the Xihua Gate, a short and fat figure was lurking among the flowers and trees. The flowers and trees here are dense and impermeable, so the heat is breathless. The short and fat voice was soaked with robes, and his face was covered with large beads of sweat. But at this moment, he had no time to care about the heat and sweat on his body, and his eyes were fixed on the soldiers and horses in front of the palace guarding the palace gate. There, hundreds of palace guards were gathering up and down the city walls, their armor and swords reflecting the blazing white light from time to time in the setting sun, stinging the eyes of the Humpty Dumpty Man.

Finally, the short and fat man seemed to be unable to wait any longer, and he gritted his teeth and got out of the bushes of flowers and trees, and walked briskly towards the palace gate. His arms were bulging, as if he was kicking something.

His appearance quickly attracted the attention of the guards of the front divisions of the halls gathered at the gate of the Xihuamen Palace.

"Who's that? Don't get close! Someone shouted.

The short and fat man stopped and said with a smile: "I am the third virtue who is waiting in Concubine Mei's palace, and I want to go out." Brothers are really hard, and they don't rest on this hot day, admire and admire. ”

"Sandezi? Is there such a person in Concubine Mei's palace? The leading general asked the people around him.

"I haven't heard of it, there are thousands of eunuchs in the palace, who remembers if there is a name for Sandezi? We can't get into the harem either, it's not clear. The guards said one after another.

"No matter, the order from above is that no one is allowed to enter or exit, even if he is a person in Concubine Mei's palace, he can't go out." As he spoke, the general waved his hand at the short and fat man and said, "We have received an order, from now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave the palace, please go back, you can't leave the palace." ”

The short and fat man hurriedly smiled and said, "Brothers, be accommodating." Our family has something important to do. Concubine Mei has a headache for the old problem, and the imperial doctor in the palace can't look down on it, so she has to go to the Miaoshou Hall in the city to ask for their secret medicine. If this delays the illness of Concubine Mei and blames it, our family will not be able to eat and walk around. ”

"That's your business, what does it have to do with us?" The guard general frowned and shouted.

"Our family knows that it has nothing to do with you, but if the mother punishes our family, our family will inevitably have to explain the reason, right? At that time, our family can only inform the guards that the brothers will not let our family out of the palace. Of course, you're not wrong, you're also on business. But our family is also a business matter, and our family does not dare to delay the matter ordered by Concubine Mei. When the mother is angry, isn't our family a scum? Besides, if Concubine Mei's illness is delayed, we will all lose our heads. The short and fat chamberlain laughed.

Of course, the guards knew that his words were true. Concubine Mei in the palace is the most domineering, but people have domineering capital. She is the emperor's favored concubine, and the daughter of Lu Xiang, the mother of King Huai, she is qualified to be domineering. If you delay taking medicine for Concubine Mei, she will be angry, or if something happens, she won't be able to hold back. Even the palace marshal may not be able to hold it.

"Boss, let's not mess with Concubine Mei, it's better to turn a blind eye. Check his waist card, let him go out of the palace to buy medicine and come back, it should be nothing. If Concubine Mei gets angry, we can't eat and walk around. Although we have military orders, I am afraid that when the time comes, it will be another kind of rhetoric, and we will say that we will not be flexible. Someone whispered in the ear of the goalkeeper.

The general guarding the gate was a recently promoted officer, and he didn't want to cause trouble. So he thought for a while and said, "Then check his waist card and check his identity." Everyone is carrying around this together, and whoever says it nonsense, I don't follow it. ”

"That's nature, it's for everyone's good, who dares to be cheap?" Everyone said.

The general beckoned the stocky chamberlain over, and the chamberlain came over, keeping his head down. The general asked him to take out the waist card, and the chamberlain had already held the waist card in his hand and handed it over immediately. The guards checked it, and the name on the waist card was indeed Sandezi, but the strange thing was that it belonged to the brand of Ningde Palace, not the waist card of Cuiwei Palace where Concubine Mei was located.

"How is Ningde Palace? Didn't you say that you were from Concubine Mei's palace? The general asked, frowning.

"Oh, I don't know anything about the harem when I look at this brother. Concubine Mei Niangniang's original class lived in Ningde Palace, but she moved to Cuiwei Palace in the past two years. The chamberlain and the palace maid still used the waist card of Ningde Palace, which was not changed. If you don't believe it, go and find out. Humpty Dumpty looked down and smiled.

Where did the guards know these things, this question was timid, so the general handed over the sign and said in a deep voice: "You go out, but you have to rush back before dark, we have received a military order to strictly prohibit anyone from entering or leaving, if it is known from above, it will be difficult for us to do it." Concubine Mei is sick, this is not accommodating, don't make trouble for us. ”

"That's, that's. Thank you, thank you! The short and fat chamberlain gave up his hands, kicked the waist card in his arms, and hurriedly walked towards the palace gate.

This chamberlain is none other than Chandlu. Not long ago, the emperor and Guo Xu talked and lay down to rest, Qian Delu came out of the palace and was about to order someone to take cold water to soak in the mat, and the emperor wanted to change a cooler mat at night. But just after he came out, he saw the scene where Guo Xu tortured and killed Guo Mian. Chandlu was so frightened that he immediately realized that there was going to be a big mess.
