Chapter 422: Metamorphosis into a Beast
The capital has not experienced peace and tranquility for some days, and since the Tang Dynasty was completely annihilated, the tension in the capital has been greatly eased, and the emperor and the people finally have a respite for a while. Especially a few days ago, Bingzhou and Huazhou have completed the basic city defense, with these two to do the city's fortification, the capital finally does not have to directly face the enemy going up the river.
This day is the day of the customary court, according to the court rules, the officials must get up on the fifth watch, wash and prepare to go out, the mansion of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu began to be lit up before the fifth watch, and the servants cleaned up back and forth, in order to let the lord go out on time and get on the sedan chair.
Mrs. Shangshu naturally got up earlier than Yu Chong, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Engineering, in order to let the master rest more, she always got up early to arrange various things at home, and then woke up Yu Chong after the ointment.
"The lord is up," the lady continued to urge the motionless bed while unfolding her court clothes, "The time has come, the lord can't delay, get up quickly." ”
After several urgings, there was finally movement on the bed, and when Mrs. came to the bedside and saw Yu Chong's face pale, she couldn't help but be a little worried: "Master, are you not feeling well?" ”
Yu Chong was stunned for a while, then turned his head with difficulty, staring at his wife with his eyes, seeing that his whole body was hairy, but he just didn't speak, and then turned his head away.
"Sir?"
Yu Chong pushed his wife away stiffly, suddenly straightened up from the edge of the bed, walked to the hanger, and began to dress himself. Madame wanted to step forward to help, but watching Yu Chong's stiff movements, her heart became more and more worried.
"Master, what is wrong with you, but you are talking?"
But Yu Chong turned a deaf ear, got dressed and walked outside, and his wife hurriedly followed behind, and several times he wanted to step forward to help, but Yu Chong pushed him away. Yu Chong didn't enter the front hall and walked towards the outside of the mansion by himself.
"Master, don't you have to thank you for breakfast? Fill your belly, sir! ”
Yu Chong didn't react, his eyes didn't blink, he walked to the sedan chair parked outside the mansion step by step, and still pushed away the servant who stepped forward to help him get into the car, and then jumped straight on the sedan chair with both feet, and hid in the sedan chair without waiting for the servant to react.
The servant was at a loss for what to do, and looked back at Madame, who was full of trepidation, but seeing that the hour was not too early, she could not delay it any longer, and she could only wave her hand to let the sedan chair go. When the sedan chair disappeared around the corner, the lady's eyes clearly overflowed with tears.
Like Yu Chong, all the ministers went to court at this hour, and these lights poured out of the streets and gathered in one place, automatically arranged according to the size of the official ranks, and finally converged into a lantern dragon and headed towards the imperial city in an orderly manner.
When this lantern dragon entered the imperial city, the sky had begun to glow with fish belly white, after passing the Chengtian Gate, the officials could no longer take the sedan chair, they must all go down to the ground on foot, this is the rule of the imperial city, since the new dynasty no one can make an exception.
The ministers got out of the sedan one after another, and from this time on, something unusual was manifested. Most of the ministers are normal, and by normal means that they behave in a normal way, but some of them are a little different. Their movements were stiff, each time they raised their hands, every time they opened their legs, they looked very difficult, and the ministers paid no attention to the other colleagues, although the court decreed that they were not allowed to follow them after entering the imperial city
I want to talk, but it's still common to nod or say hello when we usually see each other.
In the face of the greeting of their colleagues, the ministers like Yu Chong did not react, and they all walked in the team with calm faces. Because of the last Tang Dynasty to guide water to irrigate the city and remind him of his meritorious service, Jiang Weizhen was also commended by the imperial court, and was promoted to the head of the household examination of the sixth grade, and he also got the opportunity to go to the court, and this is the third time he has gone to the court. The freshness and tension have not completely disappeared, Jiang Weizhen originally planned to abide by his duty, but along the way, he still had to notice the abnormalities of several ministers around him.
What kind of anomaly is it? Jiang Weizhen couldn't say it, he forced himself to pay attention to the matter of the last dynasty, after all, this is a very serious matter, and there must be no flaws in the last dynasty, otherwise this will be a very serious death, and he will be dismissed from his post on the spot, and the serious one will be directly killed. Jiang Weizhen once heard people mention that in the previous dynasty, there were two ministers who had a festival, and once when the two were in the court, there was a conflict again, and it was getting worse, and finally it reached the court, and Emperor Liang was angry and directly dragged the two out of Chengtianmen and killed, and all the three clans of the two were imprisoned.
Jiang Weizhen retracted his gaze and forced himself to take every step well, and there was nothing to fault in his posture above the court. This kind of petty official is not easy, and those big officials can be easier, such as Cai Quan, Shen Qianji, and the concubine of the dynasty.
When all the ministers were in place, Emperor Liang walked into the Mingyuan Palace under the guidance of his personal attendants, waving his dragon robe, and sat down on the dragon chair solemnly and solemnly. Then Emperor Liang's ears began to ring the "Long live my emperor" court, he has been experiencing this kind of thing for more than a year, but he has not experienced enough, this feeling of looking down on the world is really addictive, and it is an addiction that is out of control, and it is an addiction that cannot be quit for a lifetime.
Emperor Liang raised his arm slightly, the ministers immediately got up, everyone bowed, and no one dared to look up at the Son of Heaven, this was the rule of the Liang Dynasty. Emperor Liang was still accustomed to looking at these courtiers prostrate at his feet, but this time he had a different experience, which had never happened since he inherited the throne.
There were even a few ministers who raised their heads and met Emperor Liang's eyes! This is a big taboo! Emperor Liang could directly let the forbidden army come in and drag these ministers out, but this time Emperor Liang did not do so, he found that the faces of these ministers were very pale, and at the same time, he recognized the identities of these ministers at the first time, including Yu Chong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.
"Yu Aiqing, what's wrong with you today? Have you even forgotten this basic ritual? In the end, Emperor Liang still planned to remind him that it was the time to employ people, and besides, it was the Shangshu of the six departments, so he planned to criticize it.
Who knew that as soon as Emperor Liang pointed out this, Yu Chong not only did not restrain but left the queue without warning, and walked towards Emperor Liang with difficult and stiff steps.
"Bold!" The personal attendant stood up and shouted: "Lord Yu, you are disobeying the emperor's order!" ”
With such a shout, all the ministers sensed the abnormality, and everyone's eyes focused on Yu Chong's body. Just under the surprised gaze of the ministers, Yu Chong walked towards Emperor Liang step by step, without any expression on his face, and at the same time his eyes did not blink. This scene was a bit terrifying, and in order to protect the emperor, the chamberlain hurriedly ran down to block Yu Chong's way, and shouted again.
This time it was finally useful, Yu Chong did not move forward again, but shifted his eyes from Emperor Liang's body to the inner servant
of the body. The waiter was a little hairy by Yu Chong's staring, so he had to remind him again, naturally, it was useless. The chamberlain looked back at Emperor Liang helplessly, Emperor Liang was also stunned by this strange scene, this Yu Chong looked like a dead man no matter how he looked, his face was pale and his eyes were chaotic.
Jiang Weizhen also looked up in the direction of the dragon chair, and he suddenly found that a minister beside him also began to move unconsciously, walking out of the queue like Yu Chong and walking towards Emperor Liang with his eyes glaring. Now Jiang Weizhen can see it clearly, he found that this minister is like a puppet, his hands and feet are provoked by others, the person behind the scenes moves the minister, and every action is very inconsistent with ordinary people.
Not only this minister, but several other ministers walked in the same direction with blank faces. At this time, there was a commotion in the court, and the ministers no longer had the heart to care about the court's etiquette, they all looked at these ministers nervously, watching them get closer and closer.
The chamberlain was in a hurry, he didn't understand what happened to these ministers today, they were all so weird, he had the responsibility to protect the emperor, he definitely couldn't let the rules of the court be broken, so he stepped forward to stop those ministers.
Standing at the forefront of Emperor Liang's attack were Cai Quan and Yan Keran and Shen Qianji opposite, they had witnessed the whole process, and with their knowledge, it was difficult to clarify what was going on. Yan Keran was also the guard of the Imperial Forest, and he wanted to step forward to help, but as soon as his body moved, he was stopped by Shen Qianji.
Yan Keran turned his head to look at Shen Qianji, but Shen Qianji didn't say anything, just shook his head. Just when Yan Keran looked at Yu Chong again, Yu Chong's eyes suddenly changed, what had become of it, Yan Keran couldn't describe it at the time, and when he recalled it, he could only use "murderous aura" to describe it.
Yu Chong rushed forward with an arrow step and bit down on the throat of the inner servant, this scene happened too suddenly, everyone had no defense, Emperor Liang was directly frightened and almost fell off the dragon chair, if it wasn't for the other two inner servants to help him, he would have rolled down directly from the imperial platform.
The chamberlain didn't have time to shout and fell to the ground, Yu Chong's eyes were red, he seemed to have become a beast, a hungry beast, there was only prey in his eyes, he regarded the chamberlain as a prey, this bite did not let go, no matter how the chamberlain struggled, it was useless.
The ministers exploded, and one by one they avoided to the sides, and some of them even sat on the spot and couldn't move at all. With such a noise, those ministers like Yu Chong also began to become active, rushing towards their colleagues around them, opening their mouths and biting. The ministers who were slumped on the ground bore the brunt of the casualties.
"Someone's coming!"
At the critical moment, Shen Qianji reacted the fastest, and shouted loudly while retreating, it was with his voice that the forbidden troops outside rushed into the palace and stepped forward to pull those crazy ministers.
Yan Keran watched the waiter stop struggling, blood splattered all over the ground, and finally swallowed his breath, but Yu Chong still refused to let go, and kept biting hard, and at the same time his head began to sway back and forth, like those beasts in the forest.
Fear, inexplicable fear, this is the first time in Yan Keran's life that he feels fear, he has anxiety and anxiety in his heart against any enemy before, but there is absolutely no fear, because those are living people, it is a war that can be explained by common sense, and what is happening in front of him is really beyond his understanding.
