Chapter 602: The Long Night Palace Door Closed
readx;
"Zheng Guogong's appearance is vaguely similar to Concubine Lin back then!"
Hearing this earth-shattering sentence, Gao Tao fell into the ice cellar, and the chill was bone-chilling. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info She suddenly remembered that she had seen that familiar face in front of the Hanging Arch Hall a few years ago.
It's him? It's him!
In an instant, Gao Tao was shocked and stunned!
"If that middle-aged man is He Wu, Zheng Guogong's appearance...... Then he is ......" Lu Yuanjiu is in the palace, so he naturally knows many secrets in the palace, and his brain is also flexible, and he instantly thought of the connection, and he was also shocked.
"Maybe it's just a coincidence!" Gao Tao said in a deep voice: "Even if it is really the son of Concubine Lin, it is not necessarily ...... Don't you hear about the old things that were cold and green back then? ā
"Yes, yes!" Lu Yuan clearly knew what it meant between yes and no, and hurriedly said yes again and again.
Gao Tao kept shaking her head and smiling bitterly, after all, she was deceiving herself, and even she didn't believe it.
"Mother, what the hell is going on?" Zhao Baoan is inexplicable, what Concubine Lin? What does it have to do with Lin Zhao?
"The surname is Lin, and the word Zhao is the edge of the day, the same sound as Zhao, I should have thought of it a long time ago." Gao Tao didn't seem to hear his daughter's question at all, muttering to himself, his smile was extremely bitter.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" The mother was abnormal, and Zhao Baoan was inexplicable and a little scared.
"She didn't die, she actually gave birth to a son, it turned out to be him!" Gao's surging smile became more and more bitter, his eyes stared straight ahead, and countless old things appeared in front of him.
"Lu Yuan, what's going on?"
"This ......" is related to royal secrets, how dare Lu Yuan talk more?
"To say or not to say? Niangniang is like this, are you going to die in a hurry? Zhao Baoan was angry, anxious, and almost shed tears.
Lu Yuan glanced at Gao Tao tremblingly, and then said in a low voice: "Zheng Guogong Lin Zhao's appearance is very similar to Emperor Renzong's concubine Lin...... At that time, there was a fire in the Mingyue Pavilion in the palace, and the whereabouts of Concubine Lin, who was pregnant with Liujia, was unknown, and He Wu, the assistant cook in the imperial dining room, was also missing......"
"Huh?"
Zhao Baoan exclaimed, contacting the conversation before and after. She thought of an extremely frightened possibility, and said in amazement: "Could it be that Lin Zhao is ......"
"Humph!" Gao Tao snorted coldly; "I understand, I understand, your eldest lady may have known it a long time ago. That Chai Minyan is simply a disguise, and it should be Lin Zhao who really hurts...... I said that she was the queen mother, how could she go to a place like the Dharma field to save people, so it is, so it is! ā
"Mother, is it true?" Zhao Baoan was completely stunned, this change was really too big. The shock was hard to accept.
"Hmph. Who knows? Maybe your Aunt Fukang has been deceived. Three days and two days to go to Lin Zhao's mansion...... What sisterhood is deep, what likes children...... Child! Gao Tao was taken aback, remembering the black dragon incident that had been in the dust in the past few days. When Lin Zhao's eldest son was born, the black dragon rose from the mansion to the sky......
If his identity is ...... Then it is entirely possible. Even if it's not. What will be the effect of this word when it spreads? Xiangrui is the most commonly used means of the royal family, Gao Tao knows it too well.
Although everything was based on speculation, it seems that this speculation is not unfounded. If it is true, then the possible cascade of consequences......
"Quick, let the official family come over, I want to see the official family!" Gao Taotao's heart was full of shock. I have to see my son as soon as possible.
"The royal brother accompanied the eldest lady to guard filial piety in the Taimiao, and he never came back tonight!"
Zhao Baoan's words suddenly made Gao Tao a little crazy, how could this be? In the Taimiao, it is with the Empress Dowager. Isn't that son dangerous?
What to do? Empress Dowager Gao, who has always been calm, suddenly heard such shocking news, and it was difficult to calm down.
Zhao Baoan also realized the seriousness of the problem, grabbed his mother and said loudly: "Niangniang, no matter what happens, you calm down first." ā
"Yes, calm down!" After a few deep breaths, Gao Tao's expression gradually calmed down, but the anxious look on his face still did not subside.
If Lin Zhao's identity was really as he thought, Gao Tao didn't dare to think about what the consequences would be.
He has made great achievements in the Northwest War, has made outstanding meritorious achievements, and has a high prestige among the people, which can be seen from today's welcome in the middle of the road. If he has the status of a prince again, then ......
Will the efforts of two generations of husbands and sons be in vain?
When it comes to the throne, how miserable will it be to end as a loser?
The Empress Dowager and Zhao Fukang seem to have known for a long time, but they haven't said it, they must have a plan? On the memorial day of Emperor Renzong, the Cao family took the initiative to request a grand event, and there were rumors of the sudden arrival of a black dragon in Bianjing City...... If connected, what would have been a reasonable move turns soured in an instant, and everything seems to be carefully planned.
What do they want to do?
What did the Cao family do when they suddenly called their son to Taimiao? Could it be ......
Gao Tao thought of two words - mutiny!
So the safety of the son? Even if the relationship is not harmonious, but after all, it is his own son, how can Gao Taotao not worry?
No, you must tell your son about this possibility as soon as possible and take precautions as soon as possible!
"Send someone to Taimiao and let the official family come back quickly!" Gao Tao calmed down, and then thought about how to deal with it.
"Queen Mother, the palace gate has been keyed, and you can't get out!" In the midst of their astonishment, the palace gate was locked.
Gao Tao said with a fierce expression: "Just say that it is my will, I must go out!" ā
Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "Queen Mother, the door of the ancestral palace cannot be opened at night!" ā
In any dynasty, after the palace gate is closed at night, it must not be opened easily. This is to prevent accidents, many palace coups have happened in this way throughout the ages, such as the Wuzhou Shenlong coup, and Li Longji's killing of Empress Wei and Princess Anle. The bloody lesson is in front of us, making it a system that the palace door cannot be opened at night.
Even if there is any emergency military situation at night, it can only be passed through the crack in the door! This system was particularly strict in the Song Dynasty, with two exceptions.
The first time was on the day of the death of Emperor Taizu, and Empress Song sent the eunuch Wang Jien out of the palace to find Zhao Defang, the king of Qin, and it turned out to be the emperor's brother Zhao Guangyi. Since then, the Great Song Dynasty has changed from the Taizu family to the Taizong lineage!
Zhao Guangyi was afraid that the same experience would be replicated in his children and grandchildren, so he strictly demanded that the palace door should not be opened at night. However, during the Renzong Dynasty, there was an exception.
The incident was caused by Zhao Fukang, because of Liang Huaiji, he had a conflict with the concubine and returned to the palace late at night. Emperor Renzong took pity on his daughter and opened the palace gate. As a result, this matter. The court set off a stormy wave, and the courtiers were overwhelming, all of which were questioning and accusations, and Emperor Renzong was under great pressure for this.
Since then, this regulation has been strictly enforced again, and no more daring to break it!
Tonight, Gao Tao is ready to break this rule!
"Queen Mother, don't be impulsive, otherwise there will be a big mess!" Lu Yuan hurriedly admonished.
"You know, don't go out. It's going to be a big mess. "Gao Tao is really in a hurry!
". Maybe it's not that bad. If you leave the palace now, you will make a fuss! Zhao Baoan also persuaded softly, she was still in shock, how could Lin Zhao have anything to do with Emperor Renzong?
Gao Tao shook his head and said, "No." It's too late, you have to go out of the palace and go to the official's house; If there is an accident, go and announce that the king has entered the palace! ā
Not long ago, Yingzong's second son, Yongwang Zhao Hao, was renamed King Yang!
Lu Yuan immediately left, but after a while, he came back, and the guards guarding the palace ban did not let him go at all.
Gao Tao was silent for a moment, and then resolutely said, "I'll go personally!" ā
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tonight, the palace commander in charge of the palace garrison commanded Cao Jian, and the emperor and the empress dowager went to the temple. Du Yu waited for Di Yong, led Ban Zhi (the accompanying guards) to escort him, and the people who defended the palace were handed over to him.
It was all right, as usual, just wait for dawn.
But I didn't expect it. An accident happened, and an attendant came to hold the seal of the queen mother and wanted to leave the palace.
Cao Jian refused, the palace door should not be opened at night, this is the ancestral system, and it cannot be violated!
At the same time, he also felt that this move was very strange, and he was still in doubt, and the Queen Mother Gao Tao came in person.
"Queen Mother, what are you?"
"Get out of the way, I want to leave the palace and go to the Taimiao!"
Song system, when the queen mother issued an order, she claimed to give!
Cao Jian was very surprised, and said stubbornly: "Queen Mother, please forgive the sin, the minister does not dare to obey the order!" ā
"I have an urgent matter to see the official's family!"
"Ancestral system, the palace gate should not be opened at night, the queen mother should wait for the dawn to see the official family!" Cao Jian still politely refused, and he should not make mistakes on issues of principle. At the same time, he vaguely felt that Gao Tao's behavior was too abnormal.
"Okay, Cao Jian, Chai Minyan is your ancestral daughter, okay......" Gao Tao thought of this relationship, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Hearing Lin Zhao's words, Cao Jian chuckled in his heart, he knew some inside information, so he was very sensitive. I was surprised in my heart, could it be that Gao Tao was so anxious, it was related to Lin Zhao?
"The Queen Mother forgives her sins, it is the duty of the ministers to protect the safety of the Queen Mother and the palace, even if the Queen Mother punishes the ministers tomorrow, the palace door cannot be opened tonight!"
"Do you really want to disobey Yi's will?" Gao Tao's voice is fierce, and his eyes can almost kill.
"The Queen Mother forgives her sins, and when the official family returns to the palace tomorrow, the minister will receive the crime of resisting the decree, even if it is beheaded, the minister will not frown!"
Although Gao Taotao is the queen mother, he can't command the front division of the palace, looking at Cao Jian's resolute expression, he is helpless.
"What about you...... You send someone to invite King Yang here, and I have something to tell him through the palace gate!" ā
"Isn't the Queen Mother looking for an official? Why do you want to raise the king? ā
"I have something to find an official, since you won't let me go out, then I have to let King Yang go on my behalf!"
Cao shook his head and said: "The queen mother forgives her sins, and the ministers shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the palace ban, and they can't be privately taught by the clan relatives and ministers!" ā
"You!"
Gao Tao was furious and roared: "Cao Jian, aren't you lifting? Could it be that your family is all ...... Today I want you to go and ask King Yang......"
Cao Jian was even more sure that eighty percent of this matter was related to Lin Zhao, thought for a moment, and said loudly: "Queen Mother, the minister can't do it!" Now that the official family is not in the palace, the queen mother suddenly summoned King Yang into the palace, the stakes are very important, intriguing, and the ministers dare not obey their orders! ā
"What do you mean?"
"It doesn't matter what the minister means, but if the Queen Mother insists on doing so, it will inevitably make the outside world speculate whether the Queen Mother wants to abolish the legislature? This damages the reputation of the Queen Mother, and damages the relationship between the Queen Mother and the official mother-son, please think twice! Since he wanted to tear his face, Cao Jian simply spoke amazingly.
"Cao Jian, you are bold!"
"The minister is just speaking according to the truth, if there is any offense to the Queen Mother, what is the responsibility tomorrow, Cao Jian will bear it. Tonight, please go back to bed first! ā
Gao Tao left, very helplessly gone!
Cao Jian's attitude is firm, she can't control it! He couldn't kill Cao Jian on the spot, after all, he was Uncle Cao Guo's niece. In order to open the palace gate at night, the queen mother beheaded the commander of the palace, and this crime is difficult to bear.
Maybe it's not as bad as it seems! Cao Jian's attitude is so arrogant, it is not known whether he deliberately lured himself in. After all, tomorrow is Emperor Renzong's sacrifice day, and they don't dare to risk the world's condemnation and make a study abroad incident.
In any case, the husband and son have been on the throne for ten years, and the throne is not a family, and in the hands of their own family, they must not be outsiders.
Gao Taotao gradually calmed down, and he couldn't get out of the palace gate. For now, we can only think of another way, maybe it's still too late!
Looking at Gao Tao's departing back, Cao Jian's eyes were a little more dignified. Taking advantage of the free time, he went to the guard's resting place and wrote hard.
After a while, a dove spread its wings and disappeared into the night......
