The carriage moved smoothly.

The groom who drove the cart was a good hand, and without shouting, he didn't even make a whip sound, so he let the cart pulled by the four horses turn lightly onto the royal street.

Han Gang leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and repeatedly calculated the response to various situations.

In front of his son, he commanded Ruoding. But in the dark, intimate space, the worry can no longer be hidden.

With such a smooth carriage, who would have thought that the wheels were only a foot away from the cliff?

No one can calculate everything accurately, and the Queen Mother suddenly fell seriously ill, which reminded people of the stroke of Xizong ten years ago.

At that time, the most powerful people in the palace, everyone hoped that Emperor Xizong would get better - could it be that the Empress Dowager Gao at that time would want the meat that fell from her body to die so young? This leaves room for foreign ministers to operate.

But this time, as soon as the Queen Mother fell, the rest were the Son of Heaven and the concubine. As soon as the door of the inner hall and the door of Xuanyou were closed, the door of Tianbo was locked, and what happened inside, the ministers were out of reach.

Now that he is rushing to the forbidden place, although he knows that it has only been a few hours, and even the concubine and the emperor who are the eyes and ears of the queen mother around him can't make any big waves, but he still can't help but feel apprehensive in his heart.

Reason can control zhì, but mood is not so easy to control. Especially when you obviously have other countermeasures, you have to take risks, which is really stupid from a purely rational point of view.

If it was Zhang Dian, he would not have chosen this path, but would have used a more secure method.

However, in Zhang Dan's opinion, he will definitely enter the palace, so he, who is also the prime minister, must also enter the palace.

Han Gang remembered Zhang Dan's angry reaction, and couldn't help but be happy, it could be regarded as harming him once, but unfortunately he couldn't see it with his own eyes.

Before, Zhang Dian sent someone to pass the word and told him about the time of departure, just to discuss whether to enter the palace or not.

Suddenly, a rider approached the carriage, bent down on the side of the carriage, approached the window, knocked on the window twice, and waited for Han Gang inside to open the window and report in a low voice, "Xianggong, Su Pingzhang just passed, about a quarter of an hour ago." ”

"Hmm. I know. Han Gang nodded.

The messenger retreated, Han Gang closed the curtains, and leaned heavily on the back of the chair.

The wind blew in through the open car window, rolling the curtains, and the lights outside reflected Han Gang's face flickering and dimming.

Su Song entered the palace.

At this moment, no matter what Zhang Dian thinks, he must enter the palace.

The so-called retreat naturally does not exist anymore.

Pulling the curtains of the car window again, Han Gang ordered, "Go slower." ”

The team slowed down suddenly, and at that moment, a light flashed from the street in front of them.

Soon, a procession appeared at the corner of the street, and hundreds of glass lamps flickered, breaking through the darkness on the street.

"Xianggong. Zhang Xianggong is here. "Outside the car window, someone reported again.

"Stop, bring my horse."

Han Gang commanded, the carriage stopped suddenly, and the entire team came to an abrupt halt.

Han Gang got out of the car, changed horses, and rode over to ride with Zhang Dan. The two teams will also be united.

The two walked along the royal street and slowly walked towards the Xuande Gate

Under the darkness of the night

"Su Zirong has already entered the palace first."

"Hmm." Han Gang chuckled lightly instead, "He has no taboos. ”

"Yukun, besides you, me and Su Zirong, who else?"

"That's a lot. Broad relatives and good relatives are all known. But everyone else is probably looking at the wind, you and I will not enter the palace, and no one will ......" Thinking of Su Song, Han Gang stumbled, "No one dares to go in, Su Zirong counts otherwise." ”

After getting the news, the only ones who dared to enter the palace directly were Su Song, Han Gang and Zhang Dian, and there were only three people who were qualified to lead. Even Zhang Qi, the privy envoy, has neither the qualifications nor the guts.

However, Zhang Dian was reluctant, he frowned when he heard this, with a little expectation, "I don't know if Su Zirong has entered?" ”

"It's best if you haven't gone in yet, and you can strengthen each other's courage when you go in together." Han Gang half-jokingly, "However, no one dares to stop him if he looks for me." ”

The imperial city is not a public toilet that began to be built in the capital in order to maintain street hygiene, and courtiers can come and go whenever they want. After the gates of the imperial city and the forbidden city are locked at night, it will be difficult to enter and exit.

If it was in the time of Xining and Yuanfeng, or earlier, when Renzong and Yingzong were in power, and the prime minister wanted to enter the imperial city, he could, take the pass first. Even if the prime minister is led by Da Mink, who has just gone out, he has no favors to talk about, and he only looks at things and not people.

The Queen Mother was violently ill, and the lord of the forbidden palace was the Son of Heaven. Zhao Xu didn't send anyone to find Han Gang, nor did he send anyone to find Zhang Dian and Su Song.

But now that the imperial city is forbidden, there is no backbone, and the authority of the prime ministers has already been established, as long as Su Song shouts under the city, no one dares to stop him.

It was indeed as Han Gang expected, when the two teams arrived at the city, they saw Su Song's team of Yuan Sui, as well as the generals on duty at Xuandemen.

The side door of Xuande Gate is opened, revealing a deep passage.

Zhang Dian stood in front of the horse gate, he was bold, and he couldn't help but feel furious when he looked at this passage. He turned his head and asked Han Gang in a low voice, "Yukun, are you sure?" ”

For the control of the forbidden army, Zhang Dian is far inferior to Han Gang, and it is useless to be a privy envoy.

Han Gang raised his head to the city, narrowed his eyes and looked at it, then turned his head to Zhang Dian and said, "It's okay, let's go." ”

How did Han Gang make sure that he was safe, Zhang Dian didn't ask much, and then galloped into the palace with Han Gang.

With Su Song opening the way, the two of them were unhindered all the way, and when they arrived at Cining Palace, they first saw Wang Zhongzheng with a scorched face outside the door, and Su Song who was blocked outside the door.

Seeing Zhang Dian and Han Gang, Wang Zhongzheng's eyes lit up, "Xianggong is finally here!" ”

Han Gang and Zhang Dian climbed the stairs step by step, and an attendant stopped in front of the two, "The Queen Mother's dormitory, please stop." ”

There was no sound in front of the hall, except for a few lanterns swaying under the eaves. How many pairs of eyes are watching in the light and in the dark, waiting for the reaction of the prime ministers.

A flash of anger flashed on Zhang Dan's face, and he skipped the chamberlain and asked Wang Zhongzheng behind, "What's the matter?!" ”

The chamberlain was bold and shouted, "The official family has an edict, the Queen Mother is seriously ill and is being treated, and everyone is not allowed to enter without an edict, so as not to disturb the Queen Mother." ”

Han Gang was a little dissatisfied, as Su Song, he shouldn't have been stopped by such a villain, "Brother Zirong......"

Su Song pursed his lips, but did not speak.

Su Song has always paid attention to the etiquette to the Son of Heaven, and he is the only minister who usually plays to the Queen Mother and repeats it to the emperor.

If it is the word of the Son of Heaven, he will not disobey it.

'The Emperor was quick to get the news. ’

Zhang Dian and Han Gang glanced at each other, and sighed lightly at the same time, as the saying goes, people take tea to cool, and in the court, this tea soup cools especially quickly.

If the Queen Mother is well, no one in this palace will dare to make waves. But as soon as she fell ill, someone immediately fell to the Son of Heaven - she wanted to gamble, and she had the courage, and there were never a lot of them, which was a wealth of the sky.

And there are more hesitant people, as long as Zhang Dian and Han Gang have a little wrong response, they will immediately fall to the Son of Heaven.

Fortunately, there are many people who can't change jobs. Especially after the queen who was a little bit above.

"Su Pingzhang, two ministers, please go back. There are officials who serve the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will recover soon. ”

The chamberlain even stood on his toes and pointed fingers in front of the three Zaisuke.

Han Gang was too lazy to speak, pointed to the waiter, and said to Wang Zhongzheng, "Drag it down." ”

Wang Zhongzheng had the backbone, and immediately had the spirit, and shouted in a low voice, "Don't hear it, drag it down, don't make noise about the Queen Mother." ”

Before he could react, he kicked him in the jaw and smashed his jaw, his teeth flew wildly, and his mouth was full of blood, and he was speechless for a moment, and then a long sword stabbed him from behind his waist, and he immediately lost his breath.

Han Gang and Zhang Dian ignored this and entered through the door. Su Song, who had important military affairs in Pingzhang, frowned and glanced at the chamberlain, and also followed.

In the dormitory, Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, stood calmly, without any surprise at the arrival of the Zaifu.

Concubine Zhu raised her head. Seeing the minister, Concubine Zhu had no intention of dodging, holding a snow-white sweat towel and sitting firmly beside the bed.

Zhao Xu turned sideways and turned his head to look at Zhang Dian and Han Gang, who were worshipping according to the ceremony: "The two ministers have also entered the palace." ”

Then I saw Su Song again, "Su Pingzhang, still come in." ”

There was a strong sense of sarcasm in the little emperor's words.

Han Gang, Zhang Dan, and Su Song visited in front of the Son of Heaven one after another, and Zhao Xu didn't say anything about flattening, and turned back to look at the Queen Mother's couch.

Han Gang straightened up, "The Queen Mother is tied to the world, and when she heard about her illness, can she lie at home at home?" ”

Concubine Zhu turned around, the joy in her eyes was not even hidden, she rubbed the corners of her eyes with a sweat towel, with a thick nasal voice: "Who thought that the Queen Mother would faint after being so good." The ministers are really loyal to the country, and they came to the palace at night to inquire. ”

"Before the Queen Mother fell asleep, there was an edict that the edicts and ministers entered the palace." Zhang Dan's face does not change his face and deceives the king, this is just an excuse, and the rest has nothing to care about at all.

As he spoke, he walked forward with Han Gang. Su Song didn't hesitate any longer and stepped forward together.

An Suzhi, the Hanlin medical officer on duty, was sitting in front of the Queen Mother's bed, holding a silver needle and slowly twisting it in the Queen Mother's hand. Lei Jian sat beside him, with a pen in his hand, as if he was writing a medical case.

Han Gang knew a lot about the situation of the medical officer Ying Hanlin in the Taiyi Medical Bureau.

Lei Jian is a make-up number. But An Suzhi's medical skills can be regarded as outstanding in the Taiyi Bureau. In particular, the stitching method can be regarded as a must. If the Queen Mother is not seriously ill, she will be able to wake up for at least a while after a few injections.

Han Gang took a few steps closer, and saw the Queen Mother on the couch with her eyes closed, her face sallow, and her cheekbones casting deep shadows on her cheeks.

On weekdays, through a heavy screen and makeup, I didn't realize that for the sake of state affairs, the Queen Mother Xiang was already haggard to such a field.

Covered with a thick futon, it is difficult to see the ups and downs of the chest.

Piercing a few silver needles on the hands of the Queen Mother, An Suzhi put down his hand, got up first and wiped his sweat, turned back to the three Zaifu, and saluted.

"How is the Queen Mother?"

Zhang Dian immediately asked, treating the Son of Heaven as if he were nothing.
