CHAPTER XXIII
The general was silent for a while, and looked the queen mother up and down. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
I have to say that the Queen Mother is really the Queen Mother, and this calmness and bearing alone are far beyond the reach of others.
"Wu Zhu's whereabouts have been exposed, and the Queen Mother is not in a hurry at all." Yijiang's voice was so low that only he and the Queen Mother could hear it. "Come to think of it, I'm afraid the Queen Mother also knows that the current saint is taking Xiang Ning and Yang Jing together at this time to hide on a certain platform to watch a play."
Yijiang's words were like stones smashed into a pool of water, causing a splash.
Empress Dowager Yang opened her eyes suddenly. "What does this matter have to do with Jing'er, don't talk nonsense!"
Yi Jiang smiled nonchalantly and turned his head to look in the direction of the Vermilion Bird Hall. Suzaku Hall is a large hall in the inner palace that is only used during festivals and festivals, and it is built higher than the other three halls, with a total of five floors. The temple is dedicated to the idols of the gods and the royal ancestors, and is not open to anyone on non-major dates. And even on major festivals, only members of the royal family are eligible to enter the palace to worship, and the rest of the civil and military ministers can only stay outside the palace.
The Vermilion Bird Hall is facing the Qinglong Hall, which is intended to allow the emperors of all dynasties to supervise state affairs and bless the Chu State for thousands of generations.
If you look in this direction, you can see the top two floors of the Suzaku Hall.
"When you want to win, you can look down at the whole situation from a high point, and the scenery must be excellent." He will also chuckle.
Under the fame, but there is no vanity, Yang Jing, the first genius in the capital, is not in vain.
If the current scene hadn't been in Yijiang's budget for a long time, I'm afraid that even he, who had single-handedly promoted the whole process, would have ignored the fleeting sense of disobedience.
Will also look back.
The outside of the temple was originally heavily guarded by the Praetorian Guard. After the 4,000 elite soldiers brought by Li Cheng took over the place, all the Praetorian Guards were half-kneeling on the ground and waiting for the arrangement. This scene is also very shocking when viewed from the Qinglong Palace.
Today, the emperor's physical condition is getting weaker and weaker, and he is about to die, so he conspires with Yang Jing to complete the whole incident.
The loyal marshal Wu Zhu was just a kitchen knife for Yang Jing and Emperor Chu Huan, specially used to kill Lin Yao, so as to ensure that Lin Yao could safely hand over the throne to Xiang Ning after his death.
But now that the matter has been revealed, Wu Zhu, as a pawn on the bright side, will definitely be transferred out of the inner palace, and at the same time it has played a role in diverting attention. Therefore, it will also be certain that Emperor Chu Huan and Xiang Ning will not be able to stop with Wu at this time.
To be more precise, Wu Zhu is trying to find a way out of the inner palace, and if it will also be Yang Jing, he will do the opposite at this time to eliminate his sense of existence. Therefore, Yang Jing must be hiding in the inner palace at this time.
It's just that...... Where is it hidden?
The Great Chu Inner Palace was built a hundred years ago, and there were many secret passages that only the royal family knew, and even if he was sure that Yang Jing had not left the inner palace, there was no way to easily find them.
It seems that the only way to get the members of the 'royal family' to speak.
Yijiang's gaze swept over the few people present.
The current Empress Lin Yuji is the younger sister of the great general Lin Yao, since the emperor wants to eradicate Lin Yao, he will definitely not tell her such an important matter.
But what if it is the Empress Dowager Yang?
He will close his eyes and ponder for a moment, and then have an idea in his heart.
He looked at Lin Yao.
"I wonder if the general wants to believe the boy?" will also ask.
"What do you want to do?" Lin Yao looked at him.
Yijiang didn't say anything, just smiled, and waited completely for his reply.
Fear...... It won't be a simple matter, Lin Yao sighed.
When he saw Yijiang's rare serious expression, he vaguely guessed in his heart that this young man was afraid that he was going to do something shocking again.
teasing Yang Jing, calculating Li Cheng, exposing the emperor's fake corpse, questioning the emperor's edict, what else did he dare not do, and he had to ask himself to do it?
Lin Yao pursed his lips, stared at Yijiang, and nodded slightly.
"General Xie trusts, the kid will not let the general down." I will also thank Lin Yao.
He also paused, took a deep breath, and then walked out of the Blue Dragon Hall with the thousand soldiers allocated to him, and went straight to His Royal Highness Suzaku.
If there is a secret passage inside but does not alarm others, you can also overlook the whole situation and hide the water in the sea, this is the best location.
"Someone, fetch hay and spirits!" He will also command.
"Sir, the Vermilion Bird Hall is the most important of the four halls, if you don't have a complete certainty, you can't act rashly." Among the courtiers who came with Lin Yao, some people gradually couldn't sit still when they saw Yijiang's movements.
He also glanced at Lin Yao.
"Listen to him." Lin Yao spat out three words from his mouth.
The soldiers' movements were swift, and in a short time, His Highness Suzaku was piled with piles of hay and cloth. Yijiang whispered a few words to one of the soldiers, and the soldier nodded, pointed to several jars of wine, and Yijiang picked up a strong liquor with Yijiang and took the lead in splashing it on the wall of the Suzaku Hall.
"Shaft! The Vermilion Bird Hall is the place where my Great Chu worships the ancestors, how can you be allowed to do anything wrong. Empress Dowager Yang pretended to close her eyes and recuperate, but when she saw that she was about to splash the wine on the wall, she couldn't bear it anymore. He slapped his chair arm and stood up.
"Lin Yao, this person despises Tianwei and is extremely rude, if you don't let him stop immediately, press him into the heavenly prison!" Empress Dowager Yang stared gloomily at Yijiang and Lin Yao.
The courtiers who followed Lin Yao also had a commotion, and some wanted to come out to stop it, but they were stopped by Lin Yao's eyes.
"Mother, why are you so angry?" Lin Yuji stood in front of Empress Dowager Yang. "At present, the national disaster is in trouble, the thieves are chaotic, and the life and death of the emperor are unknown. If you save me from the danger of the Great Chu country, don't talk about a Vermilion Bird Palace, what if you burn down the inner palace? ”
Lin Yuji glanced at Yi Jiang, and her eyes were also full of hesitation. But as soon as she gritted her teeth, she still suppressed the urge to stop Yijiang. She wanted to see how many surprises this kid could bring her.
"Ridiculous! The first emperor has long been in danger, and the thief is now in the imperial garden. You don't go to catch the thief, but burn my royal ancestral temple here, what is your intention? Empress Dowager Yang was fierce and walked straight to Yijiang.
Lin Yuji motioned to the palace maid beside her to stop Empress Dowager Yang.
But Empress Dowager Yang was in a rage at this time, no matter who dared to stop in front of her, it was a slap, where did the palace maids dare to do anything to her, and they were all swept aside by her in a short time. Lin Yuji could only take a few steps forward again, blocking in front of Empress Dowager Yang.
He also took the torch from the soldiers beside him and turned his head to glance at the Empress Dowager Yang.
"Stop!" This time, not only the Empress Dowager Yang, but even the ministers couldn't help it.
He raised his eyebrows and chuckled, and as soon as he let go, he threw the torch on the hay filled with spirits.
In an instant, the light of the fire went straight into the sky along the Suzaku Hall.
