As soon as Wei Gao's words came out, all the staff members changed.

Indeed, Gao Chongwen, as an envoy of honor, is easy to say about bringing 500 divine soldiers, but if he wants to bring 5,000 soldiers all of a sudden, the situation of the entire Beijing division will suddenly become delicate.

Correspondingly, Wei Gao brought 2,000 Fengyi army tooth soldiers, Du You brought 500 Qing Navy tooth soldiers, and Gao Yue was 500 Wu Yi Bang Minglang, some of them were in the outer gate of the Beijing Division, and some of them were in their respective courtyards.

At the same time, the emperor can directly affect the dispatch, and may also include the 20,000 or 30,000 descendants of the Shenwei Palace in the north of the capital.

"The will of the Holy Lord is still a little distrustful and threatening." Wei Gao held his hands with a disappointed expression.

"Wei Ling, what can I do about it?" Jiannan's staff asked for instructions.

"Don't panic, just send a letter to Du Zunsu, Gao Yisong, and Du Junqing." Wei Gao was calm.

Soon, Feng Chan Du envoy Du You and Wang Shao openly resisted, saying that the emperor sent 5,000 Shence decisive army as a guard of honor, from Shancheng to Beijing thousands of miles, labor and money, nuisance is very widespread, not to mention, it will also weaken the garrison force of Xifan, if the emperor wants to let Gao Chongwen as the guard of honor, let him follow the light car, lead more than ten horsemen into Beijing, the honor guard is close to the children of the Shenwei Palace, the most stable.

And the soldiers in the camp of the left and right armies of Shenwei heard that the emperor was going to let the Shence decisive army be used as the honor guard, and they were all angry and complained, and they were also spread in the forbidden area.

The emperor summoned Du You and debated repeatedly, but Du You just didn't let go, and the attitude of the treasury over there was also the same as Du You's.

In the end, the 5,000 Shence decisive army still couldn't go to Beijing: the army's equipment and men, horses, food and grass could all be sent by the Du Branch, and the emperor was a clever woman who could not cook without rice, as long as Wang Shao didn't nod, I was afraid that Gao Chongwen would lead the team and have to mutini and collapse before they reached Qinzhou.

The unwilling emperor had another plan, he said that the Shence military camp in western Beijing had its own important military affairs, and it would be forgotten if it was not recruited, but my Jingdong Shence military camp had also made great achievements in pacifying Huaixi before, so they asked them to draw 5,000 soldiers and horses to conquer Chanhuayue, how about it?

Wang Shao, who was sentenced to the third division, quickly explained: In Tonghua, Shaanxi, and Jinshang, a large number of Shence soldiers were drawn out to concentrate in Huayue, and under the supervision of the Huazhou Assassin Shi, they camped to repair the shrine platforms, palaces, roads and bridges needed for the sealing of Zen, and there was no way to provide His Majesty with a guard of honor.

After a contest, it was still the emperor who succumbed.

So Gao Chongwen could only follow the decision of the Zhongshu Sect and lead the ten followers to set off.

When Gao Chongwen came to Jingshi and paid homage to the emperor in the Yanying Palace, it was mid-June.

It is less than a month before the departure time of Huayue's Zen ceremony.

The ministers then played, saying that when His Majesty sealed Zen, there should be a prime minister left in Chang'an City to preside over the political situation.

This left-behind prime minister is naturally Han Hui.

Then the ministers said that it was not enough to have the prime minister stay, but also to let the crown prince supervise the country.

As a result, when the emperor heard this proposal, he was very panicked, so he asked everyone to say, "The crown prince is weak and sick, and this time Feng Chan I hope to take him with me, praying that King Jin Tian can make the crown prince healthy and healthy, so as to better inherit the future national ancestry." ”

"Since ancient times, there has never been a story of the emperor and the prince ascending together." The ministers refused.

The emperor was furious, "Don't you want to reform the system by sealing Zen, I hope to go with the prince, although it is not very consistent with the ancient ritual note, but it can also be changed!" ”

At this moment, Du Huangshang proposed: "Dengfeng will hold a sacrifice, and Your Majesty will hold the first offering on the platform on the top of the mountain; And the king of Pu and the king of Tong, led by the ministers, held the sub-sacrifice and the final offering at the enshrinement platform at the foot of the mountain. The crown prince has the heavy responsibility of supervising the country, and he cannot leave Beijing rashly. ”

"I just want to change this Zen ritual note." The emperor continued to lose his temper.

But the ministers all said that the seal of Zen is imminent, and His Majesty can no longer modify it rashly, otherwise once the time is delayed, the turmoil will be great.

In the bathroom hall, the emperor who ended the court meeting sat silently in front of the desk, and before that, he asked the high-grade eunuch Meng Guangcheng and the fifth Shouyi to go to the Shaoyang Courtyard and ask the prince Li Yu, hoping that Li Yu would come forward to express his position, hoping to seal Zen Huashan with me.

The two of them went for a full hour, and have not yet returned.

The leaky pot is long, and the galaxy at the end of summer is also much higher, hanging brightly above the Daming Palace, the exhausted emperor supports his cheeks with his hands, leans on a few, and then commands Song Ruohua, who is outside the attendants:

"From tomorrow onwards, slaughtering will be banned throughout the country, and I will no longer be able to eat wine and meat, but only vegetarian food, and the bachelor will buy some fine wine and mutton for me."

"Your Majesty has had symptoms of dizziness before, and the Imperial Doctor has instructed you to drink no wine and eat no meat." Song Ruohua persuaded him.

The emperor smiled bitterly and said don't worry, I just ate a little, and after the completion of the meditation, I followed the advice of the Shangqing masters in the inner dojo and began to take food and health - you go.

Song Ruohua could only receive orders.

No, the wine and mutton came, the emperor pulled out the dagger, cut off a slice of boiled mutton, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, swallowed it, and then took a sip of wine, and the lonely man poured himself to drink and eat.

After a long time, a voice broke the silence of the bathroom hall, and with the laughter of children, it was Wang Chengyue who kicked the ball and came to the corridor between the ear room and the main hall.

Then he saw Wai Weng who was eating alone, so he picked up the bow ball and came to Wai Weng, "Wai Weng, why don't you take me with you when you eat mutton?" ”

The emperor looked at Xiao Chengyue with some confusion, this child has always been by his side during this time, and he was educated and raised by the three sisters of the Song family.

"Chengyue, when the wai man is older, if he is old, he will always be disliked, so there are some good things that he has to enjoy for himself." In the emperor's words, there was unspeakable suffering.

"But aren't you the emperor? So many beards with whiteboards, and those without beards, circling around you all day long! ”

"When you grow up, you'll understand, Emperor...... When the emperor does it in the end, he will make the people around him, as well as himself, cold, without the slightest taste of human affection, but the taste is lighter and thinner than this white water mutton......" After the emperor finished speaking, he was touched with mixed feelings, and drank a full cup of wine on his back, and then he felt evil in his heart, and his eyes began to blur.

"Master!"

Suddenly, Princess Lingxu, who was looking for Xiao Chengyue, turned pale, leaned on the pillar, and kept a distance of three zhang away from her father and Xiao Chengyue, but she didn't dare to approach.

Because she saw that the emperor was holding a dagger with a cold light shining and cutting flesh.

The emperor looked at his daughter, then at his grandson, and then at the dagger, so he hurriedly threw it beside him to avoid misunderstanding, "Xuanshu, you also sit down in the seat next to you and accompany me." ”

Lingxu lowered his head, walked hard and painfully, and finally sat down on the seat on the west side.

Just before he could say something, Meng Guangcheng and Fifth Shouyi stood in front of the door and cautiously said to the emperor: "Shaoyang Courtyard is ...... over there."

Seeing the expressions of the two, the emperor understood everything, and he fell back and held his face with trembling hands.

Lingxu saw it, and tears overflowed from his father's fingers, flowing down silently.

"Forget everyone, even if it's Lu Jiu, even if it's Wei Gao, even if it's the crown prince, but I still can't understand why the senior high school treats me like this......" The emperor's trembling and excited voice made people's hearts ache.
