Chapter 491: Entering the Palace
In fact, everyone present guessed wrong.
Xiao Changdun, the Duke of Dingguo, has not yet received the news of the death of the Empress Dowager.
But he knew something was wrong in the palace.
The Xiao family had people in the mansion of the two Flying Fish Guard commanders, and tonight, Li Guanzhong and Wu Jiang went out on the front foot, and Xiao Changdun was woken up by Xiao Yi.
At this time, the palace sent someone, it was Gao De, the eunuch beside Queen Yang, who also brought a banner of Yulin Army.
More importantly, Gao De brought Empress Yang's dictation and announced that Xiao Changdun, the Duke of the Kingdom, entered the palace overnight.
Xiao Changdun accepted the order and asked, "Father-in-law Gao, I don't know why the queen mother announced the old husband to enter the palace overnight?" ”
At this time, Ama quietly stuffed a purse into Gao De's hand, Gao De pinched it, and it was a silver ticket.
He wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, lowered his voice and said, "The Empress Dowager is gone!" ”
"Huh?" Xiao Changdun was taken aback, although he had vaguely guessed that it was related to the red lady, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
No, there was another person who also entered the palace, and it was this morning!
Xiao Changdun's face sank like water, and he didn't ask again, and took Xiao Yi out of the Dingguo Mansion.
Gao De couldn't help but admire, this Dingguo Gong's determination is extraordinary, to be honest, he didn't believe it when he heard about the death of the Empress Dowager today, how could the Empress Dowager die? Anyone else can kill the Queen Mother?
For this reason, Gao De also pinched the little waiter next to him, and the little waiter screamed in pain, and Gao De believed that this was not a dream.
On the other hand, Dingguo Gong, except for that "ah", there is nothing left, what kind of concentration is this? This is a dull brain that has not been in court for many years and has been isolated from the world!
When he arrived at the palace gate, Xiao Changdun asked Xiao Yi to wait outside, and he and Gao De went in. But at this moment, they saw a person, who was also alone, talking to the Yulin Army guarding the door.
It turned out to be Yang Jincheng, the prince of the protectorate.
Gao De said to himself: "Why is the eldest prince here, he is a relative." ”
The word "relative" could come out of Gao De's mouth, which surprised Xiao Changdun a lot.
Of course, Xiao Changdun didn't know that not long ago, Zongren Ling had just attributed the Yang family and the Mao family to his relatives, and Gao De was by Empress Yang's side at that time, and these two words were engraved on his heart.
Xiao Changdun and Gao De also walked to the palace gate, Gao De took out his waist card and said: "Our family is going to pass the decree, and the Duke of Dingguo entered the palace by the decree of Yi." ”
After speaking, Gao De saluted Yang Jincheng, and when Yang Jincheng saw Xiao Changdun, he said: "Uncle Shi, grandfather is worried about the affairs of the palace, let the little nephew come, can Uncle Shi let the little nephew accompany you in?" ”
Xiao Changdun sighed in his heart, the Yang family and the Xiao family had long been at odds, but he didn't expect Yang Jincheng to call him so calmly.
Okay, let's come in together.
In fact, everyone knows that Yang Jincheng is the elder brother of Empress Yang, and he is also the Empress Dowager's favorite junior. Although this matter has also been secretly criticized, no one has said that it is in the open, and it will not be resolved.
Now that Xiao Changdun and Gao De are there, Yulin Jun will no longer stop them and let Yang Jincheng go in with them.
Queen Yang didn't expect to see her eldest brother Yang Jincheng at this time, and there were tears in her eyes.
The eldest brother was worried about her and came to support her.
Dingguo Gong Xiao Changdun was old after all, he looked at it, and saw a group of people kneeling under the black press, but he couldn't see the difference between these people.
Just on the way, Gao De had already told Xiao Changdun about the things in Chaoyang Palace.
This was instructed by Empress Yang, in fact, even if Ama didn't give the seal red, Gao De would say it, but with the seal red, he said it in more detail.
What did the queen say, how did the concubine make trouble, what Zongren Ling said, what Li Guanzhong and Wu Jiang said, and how those assassins caught them, except that he didn't mention Deshan, Gao De said everything he saw and heard.
Finally, and most importantly, these assassins are all remnants of the Later Jin Dynasty!
In short, Xiao Changdun knew in his heart that he was here to take the blame.
He pondered for a moment, but looked at Yang Jincheng: "Virtuous nephew, this is not in the court, how many words does the old man have that I don't know whether to say?" ”
"Uncle Shi, please speak, the little nephew listens." Yang Jincheng said modestly.
"Virtuous nephew, Your Majesty is your nephew, and the Empress Dowager is your aunt and grandmother, if you say that you are kind, except for the two mothers here, it is you, whether it is Your Majesty or the Empress Dowager, they are all your dearest, virtuous nephew, do you have a good plan?"
Poof, Wu Jiang almost gave Qi Le.
The children and grandchildren of your 24 generals dare to soak in the oil pot? One is more oily than the other.
I was looking for you to take the blame, you are a nephew and a grandmother, and you said a bunch of nonsense, it turned out that you wanted to throw this pot to Yang Jincheng?
Although Yang Dagongzi's status is precious, let him take the blame, in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military, his weight is not enough.
Don't look at Dingguo Gong Xiao Changdun's non-court appearance for more than ten days, but his identity is there, Yang Jincheng is just a child at best.
Yang Jincheng didn't mean to shirk, he talked eloquently: "An Changhou's strategy is really clever, we can hand over those two women, and then lay a net of heaven and earth, even if the thief hands over His Majesty, it will be difficult to fly in this palace." ”
In fact, this kind of strategy, everyone present can think of it, and it is not that they have not thought about it, but the little emperor will be killed at any time in the hands of those people, and those people will definitely think of this, and they will not easily hand over the little emperor nine times out of ten.
But when Yang Jincheng said this, Xiao Changdun, the Duke of Dingguo, said again and again: "A virtuous nephew and a young talent, comparable to the public in the world." ”
At night, there was a breeze, and the breeze sent Xiao Changdun's words out and to Shen Tong's ears, Shen Tong felt that the name Gongjin was a little familiar, no way, she was very slow to read, so she didn't read much, but fortunately, she still remembered that she had seen a play, and there was this Gongjin in the play.
Hey, wasn't he?
Xiao Changdun, this old fox, is not only bad but also oily.
Fortunately, Xiao Ren is not like this, Xiao Ren is like a clear blue sky, and it is comfortable to watch.
Xiao Changdun praised Yang Jincheng as if there was nothing in the sky and on the earth, and this matter was decided.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Xiao Changdun didn't agree at all, he just praised Yang Jincheng.
Of course, Yang Jincheng also thought of it, he understood the old fox's thoughts.
Only now, he has to.
Although the queen is virtuous, she has never experienced such a big thing, plus a Mao Guifei, and a Zongren order, the top priority now is not to hesitate, but to rescue the little emperor immediately.
It didn't matter if the assassin was caught or not, the little emperor had to live.
He saw far more far-reaching than Empress Yang, and once the little emperor died, it would give King Qin a chance to sit on that chair justifiably!
Whether it was King Qin or the clan, how could Empress Yang be allowed to hold a child from the clan?
Regardless of the descendants of Taizu who are red, do you want to pick the emperor from the side branches?
At that time, the father and son of King Qin would be able to enter the capital without spending a single soldier.
The Empress Dowager is dead, and the current Yang family is worried about internal and external troubles, and I don't know how many people in the Manchu Dynasty are the kings of Qin, and they will not give up.
Therefore, if the Yang family still wants to maintain the past, they must grasp the little emperor.
No matter who dies, the little emperor can't die either!
When he entered the palace, he wanted to make decisions for Empress Yang.
