Chapter 139: Forcing the Palace (1)

No wonder I saw wolves along the way, it turned out that there were so many people and horses lurking in this seemingly deep mountain and old forest.

In order to find a shortcut in the forest, Mr. Zhao went in and out of the surrounding mountains and forests several times, and finally he found several places where he could garrison troops. Therefore, the northwest battalion seems to be only one distance away from Shangjing, with less than 10,000 horses, but in fact, as early as a few months ago, soldiers and horses were secretly deployed. The total is also much more than they imagined. Chu Huotian sneered: "Mr. Zhao has long said that this Hou has a high level of merit, and one day he will either be convicted and imprisoned, or he will be forced to rebel in the palace. ”

"But now it seems that those people are impatient to get to that position, and once they gain power, there will be no place for Benhou." Chu Huotian's eagle eyes were full of gloom.

"And the emperor is now in their hands." Chu Huotian looked at the picture on the table and frowned.

And Chu Jing in the painting is a hard bone that seems to be gnawed.

Ouyang Zhen suddenly asked: "They now have the minister's internal dependents in their hands, and the emperor in their hands, they can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the time of heaven, the people are in their hands, and the Hou Ye only occupies one advantage." If an edict is issued, Hou Ye still has to enter Beijing, but now, there are all their men and horses in Beijing, not to mention that there are more than 10,000 guards in Gyeonggi, as well as the Imperial Forest Army...... I'm afraid that these laid by Hou Ye can't quench his thirst. ”

Chu Huotian nodded and said with a smile: "You are right. If Ben Hou thinks correctly, there will probably be a holy decree tomorrow. They can't stand it that long. ”

Ouyang Zhen said with a puzzled face: "Then does the Hou Ye want to enter Beijing?" ”

Chu Huotian folded the map on the table, put it on the candle and burned it, and the jumping flames reflected his unfazed expression: "Go, if there is no foolproof arrangement, how could Ben Hou be so stupid to send him to death." Besides, I also want to see how they fiddle with this Chu country. ”

Ouyang Zhen saw that the paper was gradually burning out, and the ashes fell to the ground, and suddenly said: "The Marquis of Jingzhong also needs to guard against a few more people." For example, King Jin, such as King Jing......"

Chu Huotian's eyes flashed, and he looked at her deeply. Ouyang Zhen raised her head and looked at each other in pairs, with a resolute look in her clear eyes.

He smiled and hugged her with a sigh.

"I didn't want you to know this, but I didn't expect you to know."

"Hou Ye does not doubt that the concubine body is magnanimous, and the concubine body and Hou Ye are both prosperous and loss-making." Ouyang Zhen leaned his head on his chest and said slowly.

"I understand, you said in the Hua Palace that day, I will never leave and never abandon in my heart." Chu Huotian raised her face and said word by word.

Ouyang Zhen's heart was shocked, that day, she made a similar oath, but she didn't expect him to remember it and remember it in his heart.

The red candle flickered, and finally it went out a few times, and then the wax tears were dried, and the room was dark again.

And the horizon is faintly revealing that the east is white.

……

Sure enough, at noon on the second day, Chu Huotian received the holy decree in Beijing, and as expected, the holy decree said that the two princes had both talent and virtue, filial piety and humility, and were the crown princes.

Chu Huotian was in the northwest of the suburbs of Beijing, so he naturally didn't know how the ministers from Chu Jingzhong who got the news reacted, but it can be imagined that there must be a group of cheers, and a faction that dares to be angry but dare not speak.

Now that the queen's party has gained power, it is natural to suppress the Qingliu faction, and several officials of the Qingliu faction have been degraded in the holy decree, saying that they have privately opened a river of speech and bewitched the people. Chu Huotian only sneered in his heart when he heard this.

The eunuch who passed the message said with a smile: "Now that the second prince has just reached the crown prince's throne, please make sure that the marquis must go back to Beijing to watch the ceremony." ”

Chu Huotian also smiled: "Of course, may I ask my father-in-law, how is the emperor's dragon body recently?" Ben Hou is really worried about rectifying military affairs here. ”

The father-in-law's face did not change, and he replied: "The Holy Dragon's body is gradually improving, but he was just a little startled by the crumbs, and he will be fine after a few days of rest." Please don't worry about it. ”

Chu Huotian nodded and sent him out.

Zhao Qingling turned out from the screen behind, shook the paper fan and said with a smile: "I really can't help it, now the eldest prince is under house arrest in Beijing, and the virtuous concubine is still trapped in the 'Jingguo Temple'. ”

Chu Huotian looked at the holy decree in his hand, threw it away, clapped his hands and said, "How is Zixuan's side?" Yesterday, I saw that he was not lightly injured, but I still ordered him to go out. He still has to watch it over there, and he doesn't feel at ease when he changes to someone else's own place. ”

Zhao Qingling glanced at him obliquely, and said with a smile: "Yes, I think General Su is really a hard-working person, and he also wants to go in person to pick up the two ladies, and he also wants to go to this major military aircraft in person." ”

Chu Huotian heard that he was pulling Ouyang Zhen again, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and said with a whole face: "This is called the great responsibility of the people, and they must first work hard and work their muscles and bones......

Zhao Qingling laughed, spread out the map and said, "Look at it again, rest assured, this is really sloppy for the first time with the yellow-haired child of the Qin State." ”

Chu Huotian restrained the smile on his face, and also lowered his head to take a closer look.

At the end of August of the lunar calendar of the third year of Chu Qiande, Emperor Chu issued an edict to establish the second prince Chu Hanzhen as the crown prince.

Chu Qiande's three years were destined to be an unquiet year, first Chu Huotian's triumphant return to the dynasty, and then there was endless partisan struggle and turmoil.

Now under a holy decree, I don't know how many people's mouths have been sealed, and I don't know how many people have been resentful.

Above the court, Chu Huotian changed the purple unicorn court uniform of the past and changed to the red official uniform of the military attachΓ©, but it really made many people look sideways.

He looked around, and the ministers below looked proud, depressed, and unbelonging. There are all kinds of officials, if you want to say that the expressions remain the same, there are only a few people.

Chu Huotian looked at the Guozhang on the right, his face remained unchanged, and among the royal families below, King Jing and King Jin were also unfazed.

There were few speakers in the silent court, and Chu Huotian was not in a hurry, if he was right, wait a little longer......

Above the Golden Palace, Emperor Chu's face was pale, and he could no longer sit on the dragon chair.

He opened his half-closed eyes, glanced at his head, waved his hand weakly, and the eunuch on the side was about to announce his retreat from the court, when suddenly the horn sounded outside the hall, and the ministers in the hall who were ready to retreat were shocked.

The state of Chu was established by force, and if there was a border pass in danger for a hundred years, it would use the beacon fire as a horn to warn.

Now a hundred years have passed, and the rules under this founding country have not changed, but the state of Chu is flourishing, and there are few other countries to commit, and after a long time, almost some people have forgotten that there is such a rule.
