The Empress Dowager Zhang pointed at Gu Dayong, Hu Yi, the commander of the forbidden army, and other people who trembled and reprimanded: "What about the emperor, tell the mourning family, where is the emperor?" Where is the prince of the mourning family? ”

Gu Dayong and the others knelt on the ground and trembled, and said in a trembling voice: "Back to the Queen Mother, Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, he's missing! ”

Empress Dowager Zhang smashed the cane in her hand at Gu Dayong and others, and said angrily: "Bastard thing, missing? The emperor is a big living person, so many of you can't even see a big living person, what's the use of asking you! ”

Even if he was beaten on his body by Empress Dowager Zhang with a cane, Gu Dayong and the others didn't even dare to move.

The disappearance of the Emperor, even in the fire, was a capital offense for them.

If you find the Son of Heaven, you may still have hope of surviving, but if you can't find the Son of Heaven, then wait for the family to be raided and exterminated.

"The emperor of the mourning family is only in his twenties, and he has just had an heir, he didn't even look at his own children, how can he just say and leave, the mourning family doesn't believe it...... The mourning family does not believe ......"

Empress Dowager Zhang, who was just over forty years old, looked like she was thirty years old because she was pampered and well-maintained, but at this time, she burst into tears and looked at the Qianqing Palace that was burned to ashes.

In history, the life of filial piety Zhu Youzhu is not only a benevolent and kind-hearted monarch, a good emperor who has been trying to rule the world all night, but also a good husband and father who are almost unparalleled among the emperors of previous dynasties; Even in order to please his beloved wife, he did not hesitate to knowingly commit some mistakes that Ming Jun should not have done.

The first half of Empress Dowager Zhang's life can be described as a collection of thousands of favors, from the beginning of being elected as the empress of Emperor Xiaozong, Emperor Xiaozong has only one queen like him, not even a concubine, really like most couples in the world, each other.

However, the queen mother who thought that the first half of her life was favored by an emperor, after the death of the Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao, she lost all her glory in the deep palace, although she was the queen mother, because of the great ceremonial dispute, she was liquidated by the Jiajing Emperor and killed her brother, and the Empress Dowager Zhang died in desolation, and the funeral specifications were seriously reduced after her death.

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Just when Empress Dowager Zhang was crying bitterly, the queen on the side fainted with a weak body.

When Empress Dowager Zhang heard this, she couldn't help but feel sad and stepped forward and said, "Imperial Doctor, quickly pass on Imperial Doctor!" ”

sent someone to escort the queen back to Kunning Palace, and Empress Dowager Zhang also entered the nearby palace surrounded by a group of chamberlains and palace maids at this time.

In the main hall, Empress Dowager Zhang sat there, with thousands of phoenixes, staring coldly at Gu Dayong, Hu Yi and others who were kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "What is going on, give what you know and what you don't know, to the mourning family." If there is half a lie, the mourning family will ask for your head! ”

The disappearance of the Son of Heaven can be said to be in this palace, the Queen Mother can definitely be called a master, if she really wants to kill any of them, it is just a sentence.

Gu Dayong cried: "Queen Mother, it's all the blame on the old slave, if the old slave had been serving by His Majesty's side, maybe this would not have happened." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang snorted coldly and frowned: "Tell the mourning family about business!" ”

Gu Dayong shuddered and said: "The old slave has been investigating the case of the queen's attack on the order of His Majesty a few days ago, so he has been busy investigating the case in recent days, so he has not served His Majesty last night. ”

Empress Dowager Zhang frowned, and her eyes condensed: "Where is Shao Yuanjie?" ”

Gu Da said in a trembling voice: "Shao Zhenren, together with His Majesty, has not been able to come out of the Qianqing Palace......"

With a snap, Empress Dowager Zhang slapped the table and shouted: "The emperor of the mourning family is just missing......"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty and Shao Zhenren are missing!"

Gu Dayong kept kowtowing.

Empress Dowager Zhang's eyes fell on Chen Du, who was kneeling on the ground, and said: "Chen Du, you are also an old man in the palace, Your Majesty's trust is more important to you, and you were specially transferred from the Imperial Palace to your side to escort, is this how you protect Your Majesty?" What were you doing when the explosion happened? ”

Chen Du kowtowed to the Empress Dowager Zhang, and said slowly: "The old slave is a capital crime, last night the old slave was on duty in the outer hall of the Qianqing Palace, and he chased him out when he noticed movement outside the palace. ”

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Hu Yi, the commander of the forbidden army on the ground, and said, "Hu Yi, as the commander of the forbidden army, you have nothing to say about the fire in the Qianqing Palace?" ”

Hu Yi kowtowed to the ground, and the tower-like man's eyes were red and said: "When the minister heard the news, he rushed into the sea of fire to find His Majesty's traces, but he didn't find anything, as if His Majesty and Shao Zhenren disappeared out of thin air, and the minister was incompetent, causing His Majesty to disappear, and I implore the Queen Mother to give the death to the minister!" ”

Flicking her sleeves, Empress Dowager Zhang's phoenix eyes flashed with a cold light and stared at Hu Yi and said, "Hu Yi, you said that you rushed into the Qianqing Palace, and you didn't find Your Majesty or Shao Zhenren?" Could it be that His Majesty didn't stay overnight in the Qianqing Palace that night? ”

Chen Du on the side shook his head and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, Your Majesty is indeed staying in the sleeping palace of the Qianqing Palace overnight, and the old slave dares to take the head of the Xiang as a guarantee." ”

As soon as she slapped the table, Empress Dowager Zhang said, "Tell me, where did the emperor go?" ”

Everyone immediately kowtowed: "The ministers are equal to the capital crime, and the ministers are equal to the capital crime......

Empress Dowager Zhang said angrily: "Capital crime, capital crime, if you can't find the emperor, none of you will survive!" ”

While speaking, Empress Dowager Zhang suddenly got up and looked at the crowd condescendingly: "Go to the mourning family to find it, even if it is three feet into the ground, you have to find out the emperor for the mourning family!" ”

Gu Dayong, Chen Du, Hu Yi and others withdrew from the main hall.

At this time, a little eunuch cautiously walked into the main hall, looked at the angry Empress Dowager Zhang, and said in a low voice: "The Empress Dowager, hundreds of civil and military officials outside the palace ask to see Your Majesty!" ”

Empress Dowager Zhang said almost instinctively: "No, no one!" ”

But soon Empress Dowager Zhang reacted, she also accompanied Emperor Xiaozong all her life, even if the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, but in this palace, under the influence of her ears and eyes, she more or less knew how much impact the disappearance of the king of a country had in the country.

Taking a deep breath and calming down, Empress Dowager Zhang said in a deep voice: "Spread the edict of the mourning family, and summon Jiao Fang, the first assistant of the cabinet, Jiang Mian, Fei Hong, Liu Zhong and others to the palace to meet him!" ”

The little eunuch took the order and left.

Outside the palace gate, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered outside the palace early in the morning, after all, the palace was blazing last night, even a fool knew that something must have happened in the palace.

Of course, although there was a fire in the palace, among the people present, few people dared to imagine that it was the emperor's bedroom Qianqing Palace that caught fire, and even the emperor did not know whether he was alive or dead.

Now they are gathered here, just to meet the Son of Heaven and find out why the fire in the palace is there.

You must know that the fire in the palace can be big or small, if it is said to be big, it can even be involved in the crime of complicity, if it is said to be small, it is just an ordinary fire.

Everyone has received the news that Zhu Houzhao, the son of heaven, has sent someone to Chu Yi, ordering Chu Yi to return to Beijing as soon as possible, according to Chu Yi's footsteps, at most, Chu Yi, the killer star, will return to Beijing.

At that time, if Chu Yi was asked to deal with this incident of fire in the palace, with their impression of Chu Yi, it would be difficult for them to doubt that Chu Yi would take this opportunity to purge a group of them.

Therefore, everyone came to see the Son of Heaven, to a large extent, to let the Son of Heaven characterize the fire in the palace before Chu Yi returned to Beijing.

As long as the Son of Heaven qualifies the fire in the palace, then even if it is when Chu Yi returns, everyone does not have to worry that Chu Yi will take advantage of the topic. If they knew that the Son of Heaven was missing in the fire, it would have to be a fryer.

Just when the officials were discussing, they saw the palace gate, and an inner attendant said to the officials: "The queen mother's edict summons Jiao Fang, the first assistant of the cabinet, and the cabinet elders Jiang Mian, Fei Hong, Liu Zhong and others to enter the palace to meet them!" ”

The officials couldn't help but be stunned when they heard it, shouldn't it be summoned by the Son of Heaven, why did this chamberlain convey the edict of the Queen Mother, is it possible......

Being able to be an official in the capital, no one is a fool, it can be said that the reaction ability is not bad, and it can be associated with a lot just from a summons from an inner servant.

"Your Ministers will obey the order!"

Seeing Jiao Fang, Jiang Mian, Fei Hong and others entering the palace with the inner servant, the palace gate slowly closed, and the officials, you look at me, I look at you.

Suddenly, an official said in a low voice: "The Queen Mother's decree summons a few elders, it can't be that there is an accident with Your Majesty." ”

"Be careful!"

"That fire last night won't be ......"

"Oh my God, if that's the case, I'm going to change the sky......"

No matter how frightened and conjectured these officials were, Jiao Fang and the other elders followed the chamberlain silently.

From a distance, I saw that there was only a ruin left in the Qianqing Palace, and there were still many green smoke floating, and seeing the Qianqing Palace that was burned into ruins, it can be said that several pavilion elders were all sighing in their hearts.

If it is said that it is summoned by the Son of Heaven, the Qianqing Palace will be burned like this, then it will be fine, at least the Son of Heaven will be fine.

But now it is the Queen Mother who has never been very much of a council to summon them, if it weren't for the fact that the Son of Heaven could not come forward to serve them, how could the Queen Mother go beyond summoning them?

There were waves in the hearts of several cabinet elders, and then in the main hall, the voice of the inner servant came: "By the order of the Queen Mother, summon Jiao Fang, Jiang Mian and others to meet you." ”

Jiao Fang and the others slowly walked into the main hall, and saw Empress Dowager Zhang Fengyi sitting there, and they could see that Empress Dowager Zhang had a look of exhaustion on her face.

"The ministers knocked on the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Jin'an, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!"

The Queen Mother bowed slightly: "A few Qing families don't have to be formal!" Let's get up and talk! ”

Saying that, the Queen Mother said to a few chamberlains beside her: "Come on, give a seat to a few elders!" ”

After Jiao Fang and the others thanked the Queen Mother, they sat down one by one, and their eyes fell on the Queen Mother.

As the first assistant of the cabinet, Jiao Fang took a deep breath, looked at the Queen Mother and said: "There is a fire in the palace, and the old minister Guan Qianqing Palace is burned into ruins, I don't know ...... Your Majesty."

Several other pavilion elders are also staring at the Empress Dowager Zhang one by one, after all, they are also concerned about the safety of the Son of Heaven, if the Son of Heaven is unhindered, the court will be stable, and the world will be peaceful.

Empress Dowager Zhang's eyes fell on Jiao Fang and the others, and swept over a few people one by one, as if she wanted to see through a few people.
