"Taishi, this is a once-in-a-lifetime good time, please do everything for Taishi, Taishi, please wait for good news in the house." Zhang Fengshi, who is usually tepid, radiated a rare brilliance in his eyes.

"Exactly!" Xiahou Yuan slapped his thigh and raised his eyebrows, "She threw herself at the knife edge, she was poisoned to death, and she has nothing to do with others, it is really a godsend, a God-given opportunity!" What to do now, just listen to the Taishi's instructions! ”

Zhang Fengshi seemed to see that Helan Chu had something else in his heart at the moment, and softened his tone and said: "Taishi, when the lower officials learned the news that the princess had passed away, they were also very sad and regretful in their hearts. However, after all, many years have passed since this incident, and we should not be depressed at this time. Only by deposing the Emperor as soon as possible, helping the Taishi inherit the unification, and posthumously crowning the King and Princess of Pingnan as the emperor, is it enough to comfort the two of them in the heavens and the sacrifices they have made for my Great Zhou. ”

"Taishi, the three armies and twelve guards are all waiting for this opportunity." Xiahou Yuan said again: "This matter is not for the Taishi alone, but for the Great Zhou and the world." Even if there are a few people who cling to the cripples and are nostalgic for the old things, they are completely unfashionable and do not need to be worried. The lower officials please remove obstacles for the Taishi and smooth the Quartet. ”

……

Until lying on the bed in the middle of the night and closing his eyes, Helan Chu's mind still echoed from time to time the conversations of everyone when they summoned Zhang Fengshi, Xiahou Yuan and others to discuss major matters during the day.

As Zhang Fengshi said, although the news of his mother's death has just been learned, after all, more than ten years have passed, and in the ten or twenty years that he has been getting farther and farther away from the past alone, although he has not given up looking for his mother, he has naturally inadvertently prepared for the loss of his mother. The pain is also slowly fading. What's more, he is not completely unaware of Su Meier's fake mother, he just prefers to believe that his mother is really back. He needed someone to accept the longing and care for his mother that he had put aside for twenty years. Inquisition and conviction are also in the dark corners of his contradictory heart. Although in the joy of regaining it from loss in an instant, he was thrown to the bottom of the eternal separation from his mother. But when he calmed down, he realized that he had learned the exact news of his mother, that she should have been reunited with his father in heaven, and that she had not suffered too much trouble during the days of exile, was much more down-to-earth and stable than the heart of worrying about the inhuman situation in which his mother would be in the middle of nowhere.

And in front of you. What awaits him to decide is something that cannot be avoided. Whether to take the opportunity to do something, or continue to endure and hibernate, he can think about it for too long. His ruthless eyesight in judging the situation and his fierce determination to achieve his goal made him never hesitate in this kind of thing, but this time he fell into an unprecedented contradiction.

He won't forget why he got to this point. And this reason made him not hesitate to do anything even if his hands were stained with the blood of his relatives and he was burdened with the slander of tens of millions of people.

He had to admit that once he was in the whirlpool of power struggle, it was like stepping on a fierce wild horse, and sometimes even if the stirrups were reined, it could not easily stop its flying hooves. Although he had always been able to control the wild horse, it was probably because he never wanted to stop. Because until not so long ago, he could be sure without any doubt. Not letting this "wild horse" stop is consistent with his original intention.

But things quietly changed when he didn't realize it.

Was it her wisdom that moved him by being able to compromise and retreat despite the fury of breaking into the Taishi's Mansion alone? Was it her insistence on marrying with the Turks, and she dissolved the atmosphere of the turmoil in the palace with great weight, breaking through his expectations? Was it Hua Linyuan's resolute eyes that gave him a delusion, or did the smile she showed on the school field touch his heart while enduring the severe pain, or did she buy his favor by throwing down Su Mei'er, who stabbed him with a sharp blade? ……

Perhaps it was the fact that it happened one after another in too many, too suddenly, and he was already tired. His eyes seemed to be blinded by the temporary rise of the mist, and he could not see his situation and future clearly.

When a person is confused and confused, following the original path and habits is always the least likely choice to make mistakes.

When Helan Chu opened his eyes, his deep and hidden eyes were deeper and darker than the night outside.

At this moment, a low knock came from outside the door, "Master, are you still awake?" News has just come from the prison that Su Meier attempted suicide. ”

*

This night's Jian'an Palace was completely shrouded in deep darkness. The sky was overcast, and no starlight and moon shadow could pierce the darkness of the night, and the torches in the corridors could not illuminate the treacherous brewing in the darkness of the night in this huge forbidden palace.

At this time, a column of guards armed with torches and weapons suddenly poured in from the palace gate, like a golden dragon rising to the surface of the sea, stirring up the ink-stained night.

Although this column of guards came very unusually, and they were all new faces who did not often come and go in the palace, they passed through all the levels almost unimpeded, and it should be possible to do it with the token of a high-ranking person or the emperor's secret order. They quickly passed through the gate and approached Weiyang Palace.

The column of guards stopped in front of the closed gate of Weiyang Palace. The leader of the guards stepped forward and raised his head to the several guards who came forward: "Your Majesty is very ill, and we are ordered by the general to come to strengthen the guards of Weiyang Palace to prevent changes." The General's Token is here, you quickly open the door to greet you! ”

One of the guards of Weiyang Palace stepped forward, he was sturdy, with a Chinese face and thick eyebrows like a knife, it was Yu Chinan.

He clenched his fists and said: "This is the Forbidden Palace, which is under the jurisdiction of Lord Jiang, and we are only under the orders of Lord Jiang, and we cannot obey the dispatch of others." If you want to coerce the guards, please bring the Ginger-sama's oracle and tokens! ”

When the leader of the guards heard this, he couldn't help but glare angrily, and shouted: "The rats who don't know Taishan have eyes and don't know Taishan, and they are actually familiar with the general's military orders!" The general is a dignified first-class officer, who can command the world's soldiers and horses; Wei Wei is just a third-grade petty official who can only step into the Forbidden Palace, and he is just the watchdog of this imperial city! How can you compete with the general's military orders?! We have a military order in hand, and if we are blocked, we will be regarded as a chaotic party, and we can kill without mercy! If you are interested, open the door immediately to greet you, and if you are not interested, don't blame me for being ruthless under the knife! ”

As soon as the leader of the guards finished speaking, the guards behind him had already drawn their swords out of their sheaths with angry eyebrows, and the sound of "Qiang Qiang" rang out. There are hundreds of people in their group, and there are only seven or eight guards guarding the palace gate of Weiyang Palace in front of them.

However, the guards of the Weiyang Palace seemed to be fearless.

"Whether the people who enforce the law impartially and defend the court are chaotic or not, the court has its own public opinion. But those who attempt to break into the Weiyang Palace by force must be the unforgivable thieves and rebels! Yu Chi Nan sneered, his eyes flickered, "Where are the archers?!" ”

As soon as Wei Chi Nan gave the order, the sound of soldiers moving immediately sounded in the wall behind him, and then a row of archers appeared on the wall. Half of their bodies were exposed outside the wall, with strong bows in their hands and quivers on their shoulders, they had already set up arrows, drawn bowstrings, and aimed at the hundreds of foreign guards under the wall, waiting for Yu Chinan's order at any time to send ten thousand arrows and arrows raining down!

In such a situation, even if those foreign guards were able to chop these people at the door into pulp, they would not be able to break through this defense at the door. They didn't expect that tonight, when the other checkpoints were unblocked, the guards of Weiyang Palace were several times stricter than usual, and even the walls were full of archers.

Yu Chi Nan clenched his fists again and said loudly: "Everyone! Your Majesty is not violently ill, but he is occasionally feeling a small illness, and he is recuperating, and he will recover soon, so you should not listen to rumors. You and I are both people who protect Your Majesty and defend the country, and Your Majesty must also know that you have always been loyal and courageous and dedicated to the country, but you were deceived by false military orders for a while, and almost did something arrogant. I ask you to go back to your camp by night, for you have not entered the palace tonight, nor have we seen you. Your Majesty's magnanimity will not be counted! ”

Those guards who were still thinking that the matter had come to this point and whether they should fight to the death, heard Wei Chinan say this, the last doubt in their hearts was also dispelled, and they had already retreated in their hearts without waiting for the leader's order. Soon he left without a group.

Watching the group of people go away, it was not only Yu Chi Nan and the guards at the door who secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, but also the two people who had been listening to the movement outside the gate just now.

"Her Royal Highness Concubine Yun is like a god, and the thieves really took advantage of tonight to commit it, so they must have a plan." At this time, it was Jiang Yuanyou who spoke.

Li Yun Shenyun smiled lightly, and said as he paced inside: "Thanks to Lord Jiang's well-led troops, proper deployment, and clever strategy, we were able to avoid a war. ”

Jiang Yuanyou came forward and said with a low sigh: "The lower official is ashamed. Xia Guan was in charge of the Forbidden Palace guards for several months, but failed to make the upper and lower hearts, in the current crisis, only these more than 100 people are enough to put their hearts in their hearts, can be entrusted with life and death, only to gather them all here, bluff, to protect the safety of the Weiyang Palace with dangerous moves. ”

"Master Jiang doesn't have to mind." Li Yunshen smiled lightly: "He is entrenched in the three dynasties, his roots are deep, and the position of guard has always been personally selected by the Taishi, only Lord Jiang is the only exception. Master Jiang has only been in office for a few months, and it is commendable to be able to control the Praetorian Guards in such a way and cultivate more than 100 dead soldiers in the midst of the intertwined roots. ”

"Your Highness Xie is considerate!" Jiang Yuanyou said: "The lower officials are only afraid that there are only three things, and today's strategy may not be used for tomorrow, and the more than 100 dead soldiers are not steel bodies, and I don't know how long they can defend them." Should the troops of the Twelve Guards be mobilized to come and guard His Majesty's safety? ”
