Chapter 851: On the Xuande Gate
The white smoke was rising in the bedroom of the Hall of Grace, and the water vapor was filled. Guo Shao was half-lying naked in a large wooden basin, which contained something as slimy as mud and heat; The head had been shaved and was wrapped in a mass of yarn bags that smoked.
He was made into this funny appearance, it was all Lu Niangzi's idea, because the imperial doctors really couldn't find an antidote, and they couldn't even recognize the poison, so they had to use a strange method to expel poison by Lu Niangzi.
Guo Shao has been lying like this for almost a month, and now he wakes up and is still lying there. Standing next to Jing Niang, she was describing the recent situation in a soft voice.
Guo Shao listened for a long time, reached out and grabbed the thing on his head, and struggled to stand up, but found that his body was soft and had no strength. He said, "Call someone in and get me to the Jinxiang Palace." β
"Your Majesty?" Jing Niang was stunned for a moment.
Guo Shao tossed and wanted to climb out of the basin, but Jing Niang hurriedly held on and shouted, "Someone!" β
Soon a few imperial doctors and a group of palace maids and eunuchs came in, and everyone got clothes for him to put on, and covered his bald head with a hood. Then he was put on the sedan chair again.
Guo Shao felt that he had improved for a while, if the treatment was ineffective, the poisoning should have been hung up for so long, and he would not be able to move gradually. He turned his head on the sedan chair and said to Mrs. Lu: "I remember Mrs. Lu's kindness and merits. β
β¦β¦ Fu Jinzhan sat in the east hall, waiting for news as if on pins and needles.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a eunuch running in, and Marigold was suddenly startled and stared at the eunuch. The eunuch stepped forward and said, "Big lady, the official family is here!" β
"What do you mean?" Marigold stared at her beautiful eyes.
The eunuch said: "The official family has woken up, and he has asked someone to carry him to the Jinxiang Palace, and he is on the way." β
Marigold was like a drowning man grasping a life-saving straw, and his voice trembled: "Is the official family okay?" Without waiting for the eunuch to reply, she got up and walked out briskly with her long skirt in her hand.
Out of the north of the Jinxiang Palace, I saw a group of people coming from the long street with a sedan chair.
Guo Shao's sedan chair was carried straight into the apse, and Marigold stepped forward and grabbed his hand hard, looking at Guo Shao who was lying on it without saying a word with anticipation, because she felt that his hand was pinching her back.
He opened his eyes, looked at Marigold and nodded, then let go of her hand and tossed a few times from the palanquin, and the people around him felt help him to sit up.
Guo Shao's face was obviously thin, he sat there for a while, and said, "Make a bowl of porridge, and put sugar and salt." β
"Go!" Marigold ordered, and the people immediately got busy. Why the emperor ate salty and sweet porridge is unknown. However, this request will definitely satisfy the emperor quickly.
When the porridge was brought in, Fu Jinzhan personally tried the heat and cold, and then carefully fed Guo Shao with a spoon. Guo Shao seemed very silent, and when he was fed, he opened his mouth and ate a lot of porridge slowly; Marigold is eyes are full of tears, but gradually smiled, her red lips are trembling gently, seeing Guo Shao open her mouth, her small mouth also opened, and the concern is overflowing.
Guo Shao finished eating the porridge all night, sat and rested for a while, and then tried to support it on the sedan chair with his hands. The eunuch next to him hurriedly stepped forward to help, but Guo Shao glared angrily and said, "Get out of the way!" β
The hall suddenly became silent, and everyone held their breath and paid attention to Guo Shao.
Guo Shao trembled slightly, and slowly stood up and stood in the middle with his head held high. Marigold's tears suddenly welled up in his eyes, and he fell to the ground, looking up at the burly body with joy, and everyone knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty has no borders!" β
"Give an order, open all the city gates, lift martial law in Tokyo, and call Li Chuyun and other Hexi Army officers and soldiers to come in." After Guo Shao stood up, he immediately gave an order.
β¦β¦ Guo Shao stayed in the Jinxiang Hall for nearly an hour, and after listening to the important things and recitals after Jinzhan finished speaking, he ordered someone to change into a purple robe and black yarn, and asked someone to carry him to the main gate of the imperial city. Before leaving, he also took a look at the bronze mirror, and his bald head wearing a black gauze really looked unsightly, mainly because his temples had no hair.
He was carried up to the Xuande Gate Tower, and when he approached the tower, he got down from the sedan chair and wanted to walk in front of the people, and the eunuch Wang Zhong wanted to help him, but he was reprimanded again.
His physical condition seemed to improve, but he was still struggling, clenching his teeth and holding on to his breath before moving his legs...... The strength of feeding has been used, and I have never walked such a strenuous few steps in my life, all by virtue of the ruthlessness in my body that does not give up! Guo Shao felt as if he was back to his toddler age, and everything was back to the beginning.
But with each step, the world opened up to him again! As far as he could see, the blue sky and then the rooftops of Tokyo seemed to come into view from the top of the women's wall......
In front of the ironclad crowd that filled the royal street, it seemed that there were people everywhere between the houses, including the Hexi Army, the soldiers and horses of the Tokyo Wheel Guard, and the palace guards. The soldiers gathered into the city at once, like a sea of people.
Guo Shao stood on the wall, looking at the soldiers. He knew that nearly half of the elites raised in the vast land within a radius of thousands of miles were here.
One after another, some soldiers discovered the emperor on the Xuande Gate, and people looked up one after another, and gradually Guo Shao was watched by more than 10,000 pairs of eyes. The originally noisy scene suddenly became a lot quieter...... The news that the emperor is seriously ill has spread to the army, but now Guo Shao is standing in front of the people!
The main soldiers of the Daxu Forbidden Army are still the original members of the forbidden army left by the Zhou Dynasty, and Guo Shao has been a military general in the forbidden army for a long time, eating and sleeping with the soldiers, most people have seen him more than once, of course they recognize him.
Guo Shao held the female wall with one hand, and didn't have the strength to shout loudly, but raised the scabbard violently with the other.
Suddenly, the shouts of the sea of people shook the sky, and the sound of "Banzai ......" resounded throughout Tokyo. The city under his feet is gradually boiling, and in this era, I am afraid that only one person can provoke the reaction of so many people. The soldiers raised their swords and spears and stabbed into the sky, some shouted loudly, and in some places the crowd knelt down in a large area, looking up at the people on the tower of the quaint city.
After a while, the burly eunuch Yang Shiliang stepped forward, raised his hands and signaled, and waited for the distance to stop slightly. Yang Shiliangcai said loudly: "The official family said that hundreds of millions of people in the world can raise a member of a hundred households, and you will be loyal to me, that is, loyal to the people of the country." Soldiers are the sharp sword of Daxu, preaching the prestige of the country, severely punishing injustice, and opening up thousands of miles! It is also the shield of the country, the people of Li must be well fed, the world must be prosperous and rich, and the country must be protected by a strong shield, so that the country will be rich and the people will be strong.
I believe that the brothers are all innocent, protect the country and the people! β
The cheers rose again, and the countless streets and alleys of Tokyo, the vast and flat land, and the view of the sky were filled with this scorching atmosphere.
Guo Shao's legs trembled in his robe, so he turned around and slowly left the wall, sat down on the chair under the yellow cover behind him, and said, "Pass the decree, let Li Chuyun, Shi Yanchao, Wei Renpu, Zan Jurun and others go to Xuande Gate to see me." β
"Yes!"
Later, after hearing the news, there were also ministers of the court and China, and the Xuande Gate was full of civil and military officials, palace people and guards guarding the city. Everyone gathered around Huang Gai, waiting with solemn expressions.
β¦β¦ After waiting for a long time, Li Chuyun and others received the order and rushed to Xuande. The Xuande Gate of the Imperial City was wide open, and there were tens of thousands of fierce warriors outside.
But so what? As soon as the emperor stood up, the whole city was boiling, and the blind could see who the warriors were.
Li Chuyun's forehead was covered with sweat, glistening in the sun. He rode to the door, and with a few other men, he turned over and dismounted, and threw the reins to his soldiers, and everything seemed to be calm, but his mind was completely confused at this time.
In retrospect, Li Chuyun felt that from the time he went out to return to Beijing, he obeyed the orders of the imperial court and did nothing! But in his heart, he knew that there were many things that could not be hidden from the official family, and he was inexplicably very afraid.
With a straight face, he walked up the stone steps behind the wall of Xuande Gate step by step. Li Chuyun has a hunch that this will be the last part of his life!
Wei Renpu and the prison army Zan Jurun will sue him, and Empress Fu's words will also be against him. Obviously delaying the trip, the intention is unknown! Take control of the scouts on the periphery of the army and encroach on the power of the former battalion military government! Even the recital in black and white is suspected of persecuting and warning the imperial court...... These are not conclusive mortal sins, but they create a mortal mortal sin: lack of faithfulness!
Li Chuyun has long known that once it comes to the power of the imperial court, it is extremely dangerous, and fathers, sons and brothers can kill each other......
He has no choice now, even if he is guillotined, he can only be captured, and there is no room for resistance.
Suddenly, the spectacular scene he saw from the Xuande Gate stimulated him, and his vision suddenly widened, and Li Chuyun suddenly realized that he was in a daze for a while! None of what was done was right...... Why are you so stupid, you didn't even get involved at the critical moment! It's a pity that it's too late to regret it now.
Li Chuyun's red face and hair are hot, and they have become even redder, and his red face and black beard complement each other. Although the chances are slim, he still has a glimmer of hope and luck in his heart......
After all, Guo Shao has always been kind and open-minded, and he has no merit and hard work to build the country, so he may be able to remove the title of Duke of the country and enjoy leisure and wealth in the second half of his life. Coming to such a situation, such an end is also very gratifying and grateful.
A group of four people walked in front of Luan, Li Chuyun lowered his head, hugged his fists and knelt down on one knee and said: "The minister knocks to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty has a long life!" The minister has the great trust of His Majesty......"
Several other people also saluted, and Wei Renpu said a clichΓ©, but the lightness and joy in his tone couldn't be hidden. Li Chuyun heard it in his ears, and he was even more sour, and he only felt that although he was known as a Confucian general, he was still inferior to the real officialdom.
Guo Shao was silent. Although Li Chuyun didn't dare to look up directly, he still found his eyes staring from the afterglow, but his eyes didn't seem to be as bright as before, and he didn't look energetic.
The emperor didn't say anything about flattening, and everyone knelt down without saying a word, and this silence made Li Chuyun's heart go over a thousand mountains.
