Chapter 233: The Three Deadly Sins
It was another sleepless night in the Daming Palace.
When it was almost dawn, the blizzard finally stopped, and the snow was already two feet deep, and the entire Daming Palace was covered in a vast expanse of white.
Nian Yun vaguely heard the sound of fighting outside the palace gate, but he couldn't detect it. At this time, Imperial Doctor Liang came over, "Niangniang, it's time to check the pulse." ”
Nian Yun followed him to the main hall, and only then did he notice that Imperial Doctor Liang's footsteps were also vain and staggering, which showed that he had hardly rested this night.
Imperial Physician Liang lowered his voice, "Niangniang, outside, it was Guo Yuma who came with the people from the military department, and mobilized the city guards of the military department from outside the city, preparing to attack the imperial city......"
In this way, she and Heng'er, who are in the Daming Palace, may become hostages of the rebels.
She must find a way to escape before she is taken hostage and walked up to the castle tower!
Just outside, she had already seen that there were ten people guarding the front and back doors of the Zichen Palace, and there might be other people guarding nearby, and the total number of masters and servants in the Zichen Hall was only seven or eight people, and it was impossible to break in.
Nian Yun gritted his teeth and decisively ordered: "Fennel put on the clothes of the palace and hide first, the green pothos will go to pass the meal, and Heng'er will prepare the clothes of the little eunuch of the Shangshi Bureau!" ”
The meal was passed by the guards outside, but there were so many masters and servants in the Zichen Palace, and it was obvious that one person could not hold so many things, so it was natural that the little eunuchs in the two dining rooms would help bring the breakfast over.
When he arrived at the Zichen Palace, the little eunuch took out all kinds of dim sum porridge from the food box and put them on the table one by one, and saw one of the little eunuchs suddenly holding his stomach and whispering to a little eunuch in the Zichen Palace: "Oh, the slave has a stomachache and wants to borrow the Gong bucket here......"
The little eunuch of Zichen Hall took him to the thatched house.
The two guards outside the hall felt that the little eunuch who went to the toilet behaved strangely, and when they saw that something was not quite right, they asked someone to follow quietly, and secretly remembered the appearance. When the little eunuch came out, he saw that the little eunuch was a little secretive. Seeing this, the guard hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "Please raise your head to this little father-in-law!" ”
The little eunuch seemed to be startled, and after a long time, he raised his head resignedly. When he looked up, the guard's originally serious face was a little tense, and he couldn't help laughing, it turned out that the little eunuch's face had been painted with black charcoal.
The little eunuch said aggrievedly: "This ...... That little father-in-law just now insisted on pulling me and breaking my wrists......"
The person is still the same person as before, and this will not be mistaken. The guard laughed for a moment, then let him go.
At this time, someone suddenly shouted in the Zichen Palace, and the concubine fainted again.
Those guards all complained bitterly, obviously they had already checked this time, and there were no dried lychees and other things, why did the mother faint again?
But fortunately, the imperial doctor happened to be here, and while he was talking, the imperial doctor Liang had already walked quickly to the main hall with the medicine boy.
Everyone helped the concubine to the dormitory, and the imperial doctor diagnosed it for a while, and then went out to say to the guards: "Niangniang is afraid that her mood has fluctuated too much in the past few days, and she has moved her liver fire, so that her qi and blood are stagnant and she faints." The old man thought that it would depend on the medicine. The old man has some rare medicinal herbs hidden in the Shang Pharmacy, and it is best to move the mother to the Shang Pharmacy......"
Under normal circumstances, even if Niangniang was not lightly ill, she would not have to live in Shang Pharmacy. But this time is more special, firstly, I have repeatedly sent people to get medicine for fear of accidents, and secondly, the age of this old imperial doctor is not suitable for running back and forth. Therefore, this Imperial Doctor Liang is also transparent, and simply proposed a way to move to the Shang Pharmacy.
The guard hesitated for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "How long will it take to move to Shang Pharmacy?" ”
The old imperial doctor touched his goatee and said unhurriedly: "Niangniang's illness is dangerous, and the old man can't say for sure." But if it is delayed, I am afraid that it will ......"
One of the most frightening things in this world is that the healer is spitting and spitting, and he wants to stop talking. So the guards were defeated, and they ordered most of the people in front and behind the Zichen Hall to withdraw and escort the concubine Niangniang to the Shang Pharmacy.
At this time, the ideas of everyone in the Zichen Hall were on the noble concubine Niangniang and Imperial Doctor Liang, and no one cared about the two little eunuchs of the Shangshi Bureau anymore, so the little eunuch who came back from the thatched house and another little eunuch who was waiting in the main hall returned to the Shangshi Bureau with an empty food box.
After the concubine's smoke bomb was scattered, this time, the person who was replaced was the crown prince Li Heng. He put on the clothes of a little eunuch and left the Zichen Hall smoothly with the food box. As long as he left their sight, he thought that the guard of the Shangshi Bureau would not be as strict as that of the Zichen Palace, and his mother told him to go to the Shangshi Bureau first, and then find an opportunity to find Du Qiu to help.
After everyone in the Zichen Hall discussed it, they prepared a shoulder court, served the concubine Niangniang, sat up, and moved to the pharmacy. Imperial Doctor Liang specially told that the concubine could not blow the wind, so a thick curtain was also installed on her shoulders to protect it from the wind.
When the concubine Niangniang's phoenix drove away from the Zichen Palace, a middle-aged woman wearing palace maid's clothes slowly leaned out from behind the pillars of the side hall, carefully avoiding the sight of the few remaining guards, stepping on the footprints left by everyone before, and leaving quietly.
Bypassing the Penglai Hall and entering the range of the harem, the garrison is obviously weak. Nianyun quickly ran along Daming Lake to the north gate of the harem, as long as she got out of this Daming Palace, she would naturally have a way to contact the people of the Guo family.
As soon as he walked to the vicinity of the long pavilion, he heard a loud shout from behind: "Stop, what kind of person!" ”
Nian Yun secretly said in his heart that it was not good, but he stabilized his mind and slowly turned around, "The slave is ......"
After only saying a few words, she was stunned, and the tension in her heart immediately turned into ecstasy, and she ran to the person in three steps and two steps: "Guo Qi! ”
Isn't this person Guo Qi, the big housekeeper of Guojiacheng Nanzhuang! Guo Qi is a close confidant of her eldest brother Guo Zhu, and when the people of the Xiao family had a conflict with Guo Qi's nephew, she came forward and directly bought the entire Bihaixuan and gave it to Guo Qi.
This Guo Qi was originally a slave of the Guo family, and after Bihaixuan's incident, he was even more grateful to her and the Guo family. This will recognize her, and hurriedly stepped back and saluted, with a very respectful attitude: "Guo Qi has seen the concubine Niangniang!" ”
Nian Yun asked, "Guo Qi, why are you here?" ”
Guo Qi said: "Guo Yuma and Guo Shilang have contacted some old ministers who were in the old department of Ziyi Gong, and persuaded the military department to directly send troops to surround the imperial city and stop the Shence army returning to the city. It's just that Niangniang and the prince are still in the palace, so I ordered the next person to sneak in through the back door......"
Grandfather's old ministry is now in his old age, but their support for Ziyi Gong is surprisingly loyal. Most of the sons and nephews of these veterans are now holding important positions in the DPRK and the Central Committee, and with their support, it can be said that they have already grasped the victory of public opinion. Even within the Shence Army, it may collapse because of this.
The tens of thousands of troops of the military department have always been stationed dozens of miles outside Chang'an. If the army of the military department can be mobilized, even if it is faced head-on, the combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the Shence army.
The eldest brother and the third brother also thought that the Shence Army might take her and the prince hostage, so they first found a way to control the back door of the Daming Palace.
At this time, the elite troops of the Shence Army were probably on the side of Chenjia Village, and the main forces in the palace were guarding the Zichen Palace, Penglai Hall and the Monk Pharmacy, but the harem was very empty, and it was easily taken down by Guo Qi.
Nianyun said: "The prince is in the Shangshi Bureau, and for the time being, don't startle the snake, you can get in touch with Du Dianyi of the Shangfu Bureau first, and then make plans." ”
The forbidden place of the harem has been controlled by the Guo family and the military department, and Nianyun no longer has to try to escape, so he simply rested in the Changge for the time being, and Guo Qi ordered someone to find clothes to change for the concubine.
Here, Guo Qi immediately arranged for someone to go to the Liushang Bureau, and at the same time, he had already found out the number of garrisons left by the Shence Army in the Daming Palace, even if the concubine did not manage to escape at this time, he was ready to take action.
The Guo family had already intervened strongly, so it was much easier for Nian Yun to get the news from Chenjia Village.
It is said that a fire broke out in Chenjia Village at the beginning of last night, and the fire burned almost all night, burning the entire village completely. Fortunately, it snowed heavily for a day and two nights, so the fire did not affect other nearby villages.
As dawn approached, the Shence Army finally extinguished the fire and successfully rescued King Li.
But His Majesty who was assassinated in the mountains and disappeared did not know where to go, and the so-called country could not be without a king for a day, so Xue Qixi, the superintendent of the Shence Army, was ordered to be in danger and decided to support King Li as the emperor, and returned to Daming Palace to take the throne on the same day.
It's a fair and honest reason, since the day His Majesty left the palace, Qixi has already embarked on the road of rebellion and controlled the inner palace, and now he is playing the banner of being ordered in danger, as if he has to do it.
And Li Yun, obviously all these plans are from his hands, but he just said that you can't go abroad without a king for a day.
Did they forget, is there still a prince in the Daming Palace?
Guo Qi ran back to report, "Niangniang, the Shence army is outside the city, and it is still ...... Also ......"
"How's that?"
"I also counted the three major crimes of the mother......"
"Guilty?" Nian Yun laughed angrily, "Let's tell this palace, what are the crimes of this palace?" ”
"This ......" Guo Qi hesitated for a moment and cleared his throat, "A crime, since the noble concubine Guo entered the palace, she has been pampered and arrogant, and murdered the concubines in the palace, in order to harm the imperial heir, causing the imperial heir to be thin." The second sin, Guo's harem concubine, interfered in the government, connived at the dictatorship of his relatives, and controlled the court. The three deadly sins cannot be the mother of the world, and the king of Li is excluded, so that as a prince, he is not allowed to enter the court and listen to the government......"
Well, that's really good, just a few words, and she was beaten to death with a rod for what she had done for decades, and her image immediately became a demon concubine who caused trouble.
Guo Qi was afraid that she would be angry again, and was about to persuade her, but Nianyun said: "Since he wants to say so, then the palace will admit his mistake and issue an edict." ”
"Huh? This ......" Guo Qi was shocked, he knew the inside story of these crimes, is Niangniang angry, does she really plan to admit her guilt?
Nian Yun said slowly: "Guo Qi, you hand over a letter to the third brother and issue an edict for the palace." The palace confessed three sins, the first case, as the wife of His Majesty, the palace failed to fulfill the responsibility of the mother-in-law and failed to strictly discipline the second prince, causing him to murder Prince Zhaohui first, and then frame the current prince, and plot to rebel and usurp the throne.
In the second case, this palace is a descendant of Ziyi Gong, but he does not have the courage of the ancestors, and the kindness of the woman failed to take decisive action to eradicate the root cause of the curse after Prince Zhaohui was killed. ”
She paused and continued: "The third sect, the palace has no way, and he misunderstands Xue Qixi. ”
