Chapter 754: Emperor's Heart
In the depths of the palace, there was silence in the Qianxin Palace.
The emperor rarely rests at the concubine's place, although he is very fond of the concubine, but the concubine is pregnant now, and the emperor will naturally not stay there for a while.
Inside the Qianxin Palace, it was very quiet, and the little eunuch on duty was carefully adding charcoal fire to the copper furnace, and the wind and snow were mixed outside, but inside the Qianxin Palace, it was as warm as spring.
The emperor's dragon bed, resplendent in gold.
The eunuch on duty tonight is the eunuch Ling Lei Ling, who has a close relationship with Han Mo, with Han Mo's support, Ling Lei spends money in the palace, and he is also very good at being a man, and he is very popular in the palace, but now he has become a eunuch in the palace, and can serve His Majesty the Emperor.
Ling Lei cautiously patrolled around the emperor's dormitory, and then went out, the wind and snow outside had not stopped, and the eunuchs and armored warriors guarding the door were silent.
Ling Lei put the dust in his hand under his armpit, put his hands to his mouth and took a few breaths of hot air to warm his hands, and then looked up at the sky, the night had passed, and the dawn was coming.
He was about to return to the house, and suddenly saw that on the white marble road in front of the palace, there was a eunuch leading an official to come over in a hurry, Ling Lei immediately stepped forward, and the warriors guarding the Qianxin Palace also pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords.
"Grandpa Ling......!" The eunuch who led the way stepped forward and was about to speak, but the officials around him had already rushed forward and hurriedly said: "This official wants to see the saint, hurry up!" ”
I saw that this official was in tattered clothes, his hair was messy, he didn't even wear an official hat, and the look in his eyes was both frightened and angry, but more anxious.
Ling Lei frowned and said lightly: "You are ......!" ”
The official hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The next official is the Yin Liu Qingyuan of Kyoto Prefecture!" ”
"Lord Liu, the Holy One is resting." Ling Lei lowered his voice and said: "The saint has been worried about state affairs for a while, and the dragon body is already unwell, this is not easy to sleep, it is a big thing, and it can't be shocked, right?" Don't be impatient, when the day dawns and the saint wakes up, we will inform you again! ”
Yin Liu Qingyuan of Kyoto Prefecture shook his head again and again: "Father-in-law, something really big has happened, I can't wait." You hurry up and go to the Holy One, someone has reversed ......! ”
"Rebellion?" Ling Lei suddenly changed color.
Liu Qingyuan said indignantly: "Xiaguan saw a bad opportunity, and ran out of nine deaths, and he was still waiting outside the palace gate for half a day before he could come in, and at this time, the rebels were only afraid that they had already controlled Dongcheng...... There are countless court officials there! He looked a little excited, and grabbed Ling Lei's arm: "Father-in-law, now only the Holy Lord can quell the rebellion, if you don't understand it, it will be a big mess!" ”
Ling Lei looked at Liu Qingyuan's anxious look, and finally believed that something really happened.
He also knew that this Liu Qingyuan Liu belonged to an eight-sided and delicate official in Beijing, and he was not very bold, and he was mainly responsible for the security of Yanjing on weekdays.
Such a person, who has always taken "Mingzhe to protect himself" as his motto, forcibly entered the palace in the early hours of the morning, and you must have burned your eyebrows.
He didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly said, "Lord Liu later!" He hurried back to the hall and entered the emperor's bedchamber lightly, which was still warm as spring and sandalwood.
He walked to the dragon bed, walked a few steps, saw that there was no sound inside, and knew that the emperor was sleeping, but he hesitated.
"What's going on out there?" Just as Ling Lei was in a dilemma and hesitated, the emperor's deep voice came from the dragon bed.
Ling Lei hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Back to the saint, Yin Liu Qingyuan of Yanjing Mansion entered the palace overnight, saying that there was something important to report to the saint, and now he is waiting outside the palace!" ”
"Liu Qingyuan?" The golden dragon tent was lifted, the emperor got up from the dragon bed, sat on the edge of the bed, Ling Lei hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and served the emperor to put on his shoes.
"Holy Lord, Lord Liu is waiting outside the hall now, do you want to pass him in?" Ling Lei carefully served the emperor and put on his shoes before asking softly.
Although the emperor's expression was calm, his brows furrowed slightly.
At this time, Yin, who had always been timid and cautious in the court, entered the palace overnight, which was obviously an extremely strange thing, and the emperor hesitated slightly before raising his hand slightly: "Let him come in!" ”
Ling Lei immediately went down to summon him.
At this time, there was already a palace maid waiting next to her to bring a jade plate, serve the emperor to wash her hands, and even Lan Tang traced her mouth, and when the emperor put on his clothes, Liu Qingyuan, who was extremely embarrassed, had been led to the hall by Ling Lei, knelt down far away, and said loudly, "Minister Liu Qingyuan see the saint!" ”
The emperor walked to the edge of the copper stove, put his two hands on the copper stove to warm his hands, and then said lightly: "Liu Qingyuan, you entered the palace late at night, what happened?" ”
"Back to the Holy Place, there is...... There is a man-made rebellion! Liu Qingyuan pouted his ass and didn't dare to look up.
"Rebellion?" The emperor's face changed suddenly: "Who rebelled?" ”
Liu Qingyuan hurriedly said: "Yes...... It's the Imperial Forest Army, it's Su Yuting! ”
"Su Yuting?" The emperor's dragon body was shocked, and he said sharply: "What is the matter? Speak quickly. ”
Liu Qingyuan said in a trembling voice: "Back to the saint, the minister worked all night today, an hour ago, he returned to the house late at night, but he saw a large number of Fengxiang battalion soldiers entering Dongcheng District, and surrounding the official's mansion, and even worse, he actually killed people. The minister sent people to investigate, and heard that Tang Mingwu of the volcano camp also participated in the rebellion, the volcano camp has now controlled the nine gates of Yanjing City, and the minister even encountered a team of Fengxiang battalion soldiers, they want to do something to the minister, the minister and his subordinates swear to break through to the death, and quickly report to the saint! ”
The emperor clenched his fists and said sharply, "What you said is true? ”
"The minister doesn't dare to deceive the saint!" Liu Qingyuan replied with a high pout.
He said this a little weakly, the so-called "all-night case" is false, it is happy in the women's house in the custody, but he didn't dare to go out all night, so he returned late at night and happened to encounter a mutiny.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and the warriors outside the hall could be heard repeatedly: "Princess...... Princesses are not ......! But when he saw Princess Xiu, she had already broken in from outside the palace, and several guards in front of the palace chased after her, but she didn't dare to really stop Princess Xiu.
Princess Xiu's expression was indifferent, and she came over, saw Liu Qingyuan kneeling on the ground, looked at the emperor, and said lightly: "Su Yuting mutiny, the emperor's brother already knows!" ”
The emperor's body shook slightly, Ling Lei saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Holy take care of the dragon body!" ”
"Brother Emperor, Dongcheng District has been controlled by the Fengxiang Battalion." Princess Xiu looked at the emperor expressionlessly, and said slowly: "The Volcano Camp has taken control of the Nine Gates, and it is reported that all the officials of the West Flower Hall have also been recalled to the Foggy Lake...... How are you prepared to respond? ”
The emperor just stood in shock, his eyes widened, and after a while, he saw the monarch of the Great Yan Kingdom, screaming, blood spilling from the corners of his mouth, and the whole person fell backwards.
Ling Lei hugged him and exclaimed, "Holy Lord, Holy ......!" ”
Several eunuchs next to him had already stepped forward, lifted the emperor, and placed him on the dragon bed, Ling Lei had already ordered: "Quickly go and report to the head of Yi, send someone to ask the imperial doctor quickly, and ...... quickly!" ”
At this time, the emperor, his teeth were clenched, his eyes were closed, his face was bloodless, and he was placed on the bed, and he did not move.
Yanjing Mansion Yin Liu Qingyuan was extremely frightened, opened his mouth wide, and saw the emperor pass out in a hurry, but he didn't know what to do.
At this time, it is the time for the emperor to make an idea.
Although the Fengxiang Battalion and the Volcano Battalion mutinied, but the emperor still has the Longxiang Battalion in his hands, as well as Cao Yin's Wolf Armor Battalion, in addition, the emperor's will, Dali Temple, the Criminal Department and the Yanjing Mansion will inevitably cooperate with this side, not to mention the East Flower Hall of Princess Xiu, without knowing that the West Flower Hall has undergone drastic changes, Liu Qingyuan also feels that the emperor still has the West Flower Hall in his hands.
This force is by no means weaker than the rebellious Imperial Foresters.
As long as it was handled properly, Liu Qingyuan even felt that the mutiny would be put down quickly.
But at this juncture, the emperor passed out, which made Liu Qingyuan only feel extremely frightened, if the emperor did not come up with an idea to give a decree at this time, then the rebels would soon control more places, and more people would be controlled by the rebels, and at that time, even if the emperor wanted to suppress the rebels, it would become extremely difficult.
He could only look at Princess Xiu.
And Princess Xiu, at this time, was indifferent to look at the motionless emperor on the dragon bed, she was wearing a white dress, she looked very cold and glamorous at the moment, looking at the emperor in a coma, the emperor's own sister, without the slightest relationship, in the depths of her eyes, there was a faint flash of disgust.
"Princess, now that the military situation is urgent, please ask the princess to show me, what should the minister do?" Liu Qingyuan looked at Princess Xiu helplessly.
The emperor was in a coma, and now outside the palace, the mutiny is like fire, and Princess Xiu can only deal with it.
Princess Xiu glanced at Liu Qingyuan and said lightly: "Go back to your Yanjing Mansion and gather your manpower, before the emperor's brother gives an order, your manpower only needs to watch the prisoners in the Yanjing Mansion Prison, and the rest ...... Ignore it! ”
"Don't bother?" Liu Qingyuan was stunned.
He never imagined that Princess Xiu would come up with such a disposal method, the military situation outside was like fire, but Princess Xiu told him not to pay attention to it, Liu Qingyuan only felt ridiculous in his heart.
But he didn't dare say anything more.
In front of him, not only was a princess, but also the most powerful woman in the Great Yan Kingdom, and he would never dare to disobey this woman's orders.
"Minister...... Yes, sir! Liu Qingyuan was helpless, so he could only get up and bow down.
Princess Xiu slowly walked to the bed, looked at the emperor's teeth, watched the eunuchs stomp their feet in a hurry, her beautiful face was still unfazed, and she approached the emperor's ear, and her voice was very soft: "Brother Emperor, if you want to borrow a knife to kill someone, you know that the knife that kills people will hurt you at any time!" ”
The emperor did not move, but the hand in the yellow sleeve moved slightly.
