Chapter 22: Honest and Lovely
After the battle between the elite soldiers of Wancheng and the Yulin Army was interrupted by Xun You, the two sides could not afford to fight again, and then disbanded under the persuasion of their respective generals.
In He Chen's advice, Wen Ping led the remaining more than 1,000 soldiers, along with the injured and immobile, to withdraw from the palace and prepare to leave the city.
And He Chen, under the leadership of Xun You, ran towards the North Palace.
Along the way, the palace compound that was originally gorgeous and beautiful, full of potted flowers and plants, has long been devastated and full of traces of the war, there are traces of the post-war period everywhere, the rockery, the corridor, the lotus pond, and the pond are full of crooked corpses, and the spotless ground has become purple and black bloodstains, a lot of shocking, countless items are scattered in all corners, and the already deserted palace has become even more lifeless, only He Chen and Xun You's two horses "Daradala" crisp sound, echoing everywhere in the palace.
Originally, horseback riding was not allowed in the palace, but now that time is pressed and things are urgent, the two of them left in a hurry.
The north palace is mainly used as a living place for the emperor and his concubines, because the status is more important than the south palace, so the buildings inside are extremely luxurious. There are fewer palaces in the north palace than in the south palace, and the buildings are not so symmetrical. Deyang Hall is one of the largest buildings, quite similar to the famous Weiyang Palace of the Western Han Dynasty, its grandeur and magnificence Mobi, the steps are two zhang high, the pattern stone is made of the line, the white jade steps are built, the gold is cast into a pillar and carved with three belts winding pattern, the red lacquer beam is inlaid with cyan jade, and the Luoshui is introduced to His Royal Highness, its north and south are seven zhang wide, the east and west are about thirty-seven zhang long, the whole hall can accommodate more than 10,000 people.
At this time, the young emperor Liu Wei, the Empress Dowager He, but also a group of important ministers all gathered together.
There was already a lot of chaos in the hall, and their faces were different.
Some of them looked happy, and they couldn't wait to float three whites in a row; Some gritted their teeth and looked angry; There are also old monks who are settled, and their faces are indifferent; Others are contemplative and focused.
In the year when the young emperor Liu Wei tied his hair, he was shrinking next to He Hou at this time, grabbing the corners of the queen mother's sleeves tightly with both hands, and his face was full of fear. Emperor Ling originally had several sons, but died one after another, he was worried that the little prince Liu Bian would suffer misfortune again, so he fostered him in a Taoist family surnamed Shi, because he was young and did not have a systematic education, he cultivated the wild surname of his peasant child, behaved frivolously, and did things Meng Lang, so he did not want Emperor Ling to like.
Although Empress Dowager He is over 30 years old, she is still outstanding in style, beautiful and mature, and she doesn't look like giving birth to a child at all. She was dressed in extreme luxury, radiant and extravagant.
"What is the best plan for the Qing family?" Empress Dowager He deserves to be the head of the East Palace for a long time, although she has changed dramatically, her face does not change, her tone is calm, and no one can see the slightest joy and anger on her face.
The ministers' eyes looked at the kneeling on the ground for most of the hour, their expressions seemed to be panicked, but in fact, their eyes were calm, and Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, who were confident, couldn't help but sneer in their hearts.
Empress Dowager He's reliance on these two eunuchs is well known to the government and the opposition, but He Jin was killed by these two people. This makes people entangled, according to common sense, the queen mother should be decisive and kill these two people to avenge her brother. But the Queen Mother didn't do this, but asked everyone present, isn't this clearly undecided in her heart, and she is reluctant to give up on Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong?
In that case, who would dare to speak out? Who dares to say kill? Isn't that asking for trouble for yourself?
The rational eyes and noses of the people, the noses and the hearts, do not want to be in trouble.
The Queen Mother waited for a while, and when she saw that these old foxes in the hall were stunned for a long time and didn't let go of a fart, she couldn't help but be angry, and snorted coldly.
And Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong showed even more smug on their faces, arrogant, where did they look like prisoners kneeling on the ground?
At this moment, a doorman sang loudly: "Wancheng ordered He Chen to arrive." ”
"Here we are." All the officials were in high spirits, and their eyes kept looking outward, all wanting to see how this bold and reckless character who was said to be the reincarnation of the killing god Bai Qi looked like three heads and six arms.
"Bang, bang." Before the man entered the door, the sound of heavy armor grinding was already heard outside.
When He Chen stepped into the door of the main hall, countless officials inside gasped, my mother, how many people do you have to kill? At this time, He Chen was like a fierce demon in the sea of blood, and his evil qi soared into the sky. The original black hair has been dyed blood-red and blood-red, the cyan armor of the whole body has also been washed into purple-black by blood, the two scars on the face, one shallow and one deep, are intertwined with each other, a pair of tiger eyes are blazing, and a pair of sword eyebrows are domineering, like two radiant swords, which are sharp and straight to the heart, making people dare not look directly. Coupled with an extremely strong body and a height different from ordinary people, a disgusting smell of blood spread far away, just like a triumphant general who had just returned from a hundred battles on the battlefield.
Everyone was shocked.
Thinking about it again, it is said that only 300 dead soldiers dare to storm the imperial city to kill the eunuchs, and I can't help but sigh again and again: "If you are the tiger general of the world." ”
He Chen stood still, glanced at the two eunuchs kneeling on the ground, and saw their strong and calm expressions under his own eyes, and couldn't help sneering, this must be Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong. He Chen retracted his mind and saluted: "Weichen has seen the emperor and the queen mother. ”
"No courtesy." A crisp children's voice sounded.
"Thank you for your grace." Although He Chen has never learned any palace etiquette, he has watched too many third-rate soap TV series in the past, and he has also learned something.
When everyone just thought that this old man who seemed to only kill people and set fires was actually knowledgeable, what was happening now completely stunned them.
I saw that after He Chen got up, he suddenly shouted violently, and rushed to the two eunuchs at a lightning speed, which was a burst of punches and kicks, two slaps fanned by the "pop", and the crisp sound resounded throughout the hall. Where did the two eunuchs with weak bones withstand He Chen's beating, but in a blink of an eye, their noses were blue and their faces were red, swollen like steamed buns, and the screams like killing pigs were terrible.
Everyone in the hall was stunned in a daze, watching He Chen beat him violently and foaming at the mouth: "Beat you two eunuchs to death, and let you plot to kill General He." ”
"Stop." Empress Dowager He, who came back to her senses, turned pale, and said angrily: "What kind of system, what kind of system, He Chen, you still don't stop." ”
"Phew." He Chen spat on the eunuch unhappily, and then reluctantly stopped, and shouted: "Queen Mother, these two gangsters conspired to kill General He, why didn't the Queen Mother pull them out and cut them down." ”
The few times just now were really relieved, and He Chen felt very happy.
Everyone is overwhelmed, and this guy is really stunned.
Think about it, how could a person with a little brain commit such a heinous crime? And dare to openly stage a full martial arts in front of the emperor and the queen mother?
It's just that this rough stuff is too much to my heart, and I did what Lao Tzu thought about for more than ten years but didn't do.
It's a good fight, it's a good incitement, let these two eunuchs be arrogant and domineering, and let these two eunuchs be empty-eyed. The officials in the hall looked at the ghost crying wolf howl, and the eunuchs with tears in their eyes, all of them were like eating ginseng fruits, from head to toe, and none of the pores were not comfortable. Although this guy doesn't know how to count etiquette, he is really affectionate, honest and cute.
