Chapter 432: Palace Change (1)

Xingqing Palace.

Because the old emperor has been frequently singing, dancing, drinking and feasting in the palace recently, the old and frail Gao Lishi has limited energy, so he occasionally goes out of the palace to go back to his house in Anxing Fang to recuperate for three or two days, anyway, the old emperor has someone around him to serve, and Princess Yuzhen and others treat each other, and it doesn't matter if he, the head of the eunuch, is not there.

As for the general Chen Xuanli, **** went to Xingqing Palace to order, and returned to the house to close the door after a little official business, and never interacted with outsiders.

Chen Xuanli and Gao Lishi have been firmly labeled as the emperor, which means that the emperor will not be able to use them again. This also means that the careers of the two have come to an end, in this case, why are they fighting for power and participating in those flies and dogs?

This is the true mentality of Chen Xuanli and Colliers. Mingzhe protects himself, only wants to do less and not more things, and spends his old age in peace.

Since the last incident, the defense of Xingqing Palace has been significantly strengthened. Chen Xuanli arranged the five hundred guards loyal to the old emperor to their posts inside and outside the palace, and took turns to stay on duty, not daring to slack off in the slightest. But there are ordinary generals below, and there is no need for him, the titular general, to be on duty.

The old emperor finished drinking and feasting with Princess Yuzhen and others on this day, and he was a little sleepy, so he took a nap in the palace for a while. Not long after, a personal eunuch suddenly came to report that the emperor's message had arrived.

The old emperor frowned, a little surprised. The emperor rarely sent people to disturb the quiet of Xingqing Palace, as long as the old emperor did not trouble him, he was happy to stay away from Xingqing Palace, which has become a kind of tacit understanding between father and son.

Zhang Yue, the permanent servant of the inner province, hurriedly entered the hall and bowed to the ground in front of the old emperor: "Slave Zhang Yue to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty is safe!" ”

The corners of the old emperor's mouth twitched, and Zhang Yue called him His Majesty instead of His Majesty, which made him a little surprised, and at the same time a little emotional. Zhang Yue is also an old man in the palace, he was an inner servant in the province when he was in power, and now he is a regular servant in the inner chamberlain, and he is one of the few great eunuchs in the palace.

The old emperor asked lightly for some reason: "Who is you?" ”

"Your Majesty, the slave maid is Zhang Yue, who was on duty in the Xuanzheng Hall of Daming Palace back then, Your Majesty!" Zhang Yue suddenly became emotional, and wept bitterly: "In the past two years, the slave and maid have not served by His Majesty's side, which is really an unforgivable sin!" ”

The old emperor is very easy to get emotional when he is old, and he was stirred up by Zhang Yuesan's words, and he also sighed with some emotion: "Zhang Yue, I don't blame you, time has passed, you serve the emperor in the palace, I can understand." ”

"Slave and maid are guilty of death! I beg Your Majesty to punish you! Zhang Yue continued to weep bitterly.

The old emperor sighed: "Okay, I don't blame you, get up and speak." When you come to my palace, just tell me if you have something. ”

Zhang Yue wiped a handful of tears and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Emperor will send a message to invite Your Majesty to the banquet under the banquet in the Xuanzheng Palace!" ”

The old emperor sighed: "The emperor is taking care of state affairs, do you still have time to invite me to eat and drink now?" ”

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Your Majesty, although His Majesty the Emperor is busy with state affairs, he still has time to be busy. I heard that His Majesty was bored in Xingqing Palace, so he set up a banquet to rehearse songs and dances in the Xuanzheng Hall to relieve His Majesty's boredom, which can be regarded as a filial piety of His Majesty the Emperor. ”

As a summoned chamberlain, in fact, Zhang Yue's words were a little sick. But the old emperor didn't hear anything strange at all, of course, this can't be blamed on the old emperor, Zhang Yue is one of the most important eunuchs in the province, he personally came to summon him, naturally it is the emperor's dictation.

It's hard for anyone to be suspicious. After all, those who can sit in the position of the inner chamberlain in the inner palace are generally the emperor's henchmen.

"Okay, I haven't seen the emperor for many days, so I'll go into the palace with you to have a look." The old emperor's favorite thing is to sing and dance at the banquet, plus the emperor shows filial piety, if he doesn't go, he won't give the emperor face. What's more, the old emperor was not a person who was willing to hibernate, he was very unhappy in Xingqing Palace, he disliked that this palace was not luxurious and generous, and he still wanted to live in his Daming Palace.

The old emperor quickly followed Zhang Yue from Wangxian Gate into the Daming Palace, and went straight to the Xuanzheng Hall located on the east side of the Daming Palace.

The old emperor's luan drive was parallel to the emperor in terms of regulation, and it was naturally unimpeded in the palace. In fact, the emperor never ordered to restrict the whereabouts of the old emperor, and theoretically, the old emperor could go wherever he wanted.

At the same time, Gao Lishi hurriedly came to Xingqing Palace in a soft sedan car, and was a little surprised to hear that the old emperor's Luan was taken into the palace by Zhang Yue, the chief eunuch in the palace, but he immediately ordered his servants to chase after him directly.

Gao Lishi hurried and hurried, and still caught up with the old emperor in Wangxian Gate.

The old emperor saw the bloated and gray-haired Gao Lishi running after him and was out of breath, and couldn't help but smile and said, "You old thing, what are you chasing after?" I went into the palace to have a drink with the emperor, and watched the singing and dancing of the Hu people, nothing serious, you are old and frail, so go back and rest. ”

Gao Lishi gasped: "Your Majesty, slaves and maids should serve by Your Majesty's side!" ”

Gao Lishi helped Luan to drive and followed all the way.

He has always served by the old emperor's side, and he is used to it, and the old emperor will not forcibly drive him back. In fact, this is the most gratifying thing in the life of the old emperor, whether he is in power or not, there is a loyal slave Gao Lishi around him, from beginning to end, Gao Lishi's loyalty to him has not wavered. In this day and age, it is extremely precious, and it is rare to see a loyal servant like Colliers among millions of people.

The old emperor's Luan drove all the way into the palace where the Xuanzheng Hall was located, but after entering the palace, Gao Lishi immediately realized that it was inappropriate.

Gao Lishi is also an old man in the palace, well-informed and extremely sensitive.

He found that as soon as the old emperor's Luan drove into the palace, the door of the palace was suddenly closed, and it was firmly locked by a group of sword-wielding eunuchs.

The eunuch group in the palace is actually an armed force that cannot be ignored, and many martial arts masters are born in the rivers and lakes. Kong Sheng guessed that there should be many masters secretly selected from the eunuchs among the emperor's shadow guards.

The gate of the palace was locked, and the old emperor's face changed suddenly.

Gao Lishi glared at Zhang Yue angrily and scolded: "What a slave Zhang Yue, you dare to falsely pass on the holy decree and bring the Emperor Taishang into the Xuanzheng Palace, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will condemn you?" ”

Zhang Yue glanced at Gao Lishi and said indifferently: "King Gaojun, the miscellaneous family is loyal to Your Majesty, and it will never be unfavorable to Your Majesty, please rest assured." ”

Bang Bang Bang!

Zhang Yue high-fived.

Yu Chaoen walked out of the hall with a dozen eunuchs with cold faces, and bowed down to the old emperor together: "Long live the slave Yu Chaoen and others to see my emperor, long live!" ”

The old emperor's face became even paler. He vaguely realized that this group of eunuchs had brought themselves into the palace for a very bad purpose, which was like kidnapping.

Gao Lishi took a few eunuch guards to firmly guard the old emperor among them, and said angrily: "Yu Chaoen, you are crazy, you are so bold!" You falsely preached the holy decree and deceived the emperor, this is a capital crime of raiding the house and destroying the door! ”

Gao Li's morale was so angry that the corners of his mouth trembled, and the palace maids behind him were already trembling with fright, and they didn't know where to go, and many people couldn't stand steadily, and their faces were as pale as dirt.

Not only did the emperor realize something, but even Colliers also understood it a little. Yu Chaoen, these eunuchs are definitely not good at coming, and those who are good are not coming, although they are in the deep palace, but there are only these dozens of people around the old emperor, and half of them are still weak palace maids, surrounded by this group of tiger and wolf eunuchs, it has become meat on the board to be slaughtered.

A look of madness flashed across the fish's face. (To be continued.) )
