Chapter 70: Death (2nd Watch)

The courtiers had been drenched in heavy rain, and after slipping into the emperor's bedroom, they still dropped droplets of water on their bodies, wiped the rain on their faces, and knelt down to salute the emperor.

The emperor waved his hand with a calm face, "All the Aiqing are invited, so why do you have to see me in the heavy rain?" ”

The courtiers glanced at each other, and an elderly minister spoke, "Your Majesty, the ministers heard that you summoned the Wei commander, but what is the big thing, and you need to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Jinglu army and horse battalion?" ”

The emperor secretly hated in his heart, these people, knowingly asked.

The emperor said with a stiff face, "The inner guards I sent were all killed by An Huajin two hundred miles away, and only one of the five hundred inner guards came back alive to report to me, and after reporting the news, people were already angry." If I don't kill An Huajin, won't she be against the sky? ”

The courtiers were all shocked.

Before they came, they heard that His Majesty sent Ouchi guards to chase and kill An Huajin, but they didn't expect that the Ouchi guards who chased after them were all killed by An Huajin? That's five hundred guards.

In particular, the martial arts of the Ouchi guards are all first-class, and for many years, as long as the Ouchi guards haunt the place, they can stop children crying at night.

No wonder His Majesty wants to transfer soldiers and horses from Beijing.

A young minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, are you sure it's the Ouchi guard killed by Lord An Xiaojun?" ”

"What do you mean?" The emperor stared at the young courtier.

The man lowered his hand and said, "As far as the minister knows, the lord of An Xiaojun came to Beijing, although he brought the secret guards of the Nanyang Palace, but the secret guards of the Nanyang Palace, when they were ambushed and robbed by Zhang Chengze, they suffered a lot of damage, and then there were not many left, and Your Majesty, you said that you sent five hundred internal guards, how can the people of the small county lord of An Xiaojun all strangle all the internal guards of one top and one master?" The minister is afraid that His Majesty has wronged the county lord of An Xiaojun, and the person was not killed by the lord of An Xiaojun, if it was done by others, he would have wronged the lord of An Xiaojun. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, when the Ouchi guard made a report, it can be said that everyone who met Lord An Xiaojun was killed?" Another person took over, "After all, when Su Shizi entered Beijing, he was robbed and killed by a large number of killers, and the county lord of An Xiao also encountered killers, and there were also a lot of killer organizations on the rivers and lakes that opposed the imperial court, as well as the killers raised by the rebels who fled to Southern Liang and Southern Qi in the Zhang family, all of which were extremely powerful." ”

Hearing this, Gonggong Zhang whispered on the side, "Your Majesty, the killer who came back to report the news didn't seem to say that it was the Ouchi guard killed by Lord An's people. ”

The emperor swept his cold eyes towards Gonggong Zhang.

Father-in-law Zhang immediately lowered his head, shrank his head, and quickly admitted his mistake, "It's the old slave who is talking too much." ”

"Your Majesty, since it has not been concluded that it was the county lord An Xiaojun who did it, this matter must be ascertained before the county lord An can be convicted. You can't move the soldiers and horses of the Jinglu Soldiers and Horses Camp because of this. Once the soldiers and horses of the Jinglu Soldiers and Horses Battalion are used to deal with the small county lord of An alone, Nanyang will know about it, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, please think twice."

"The soldiers and horses of Jinglu are the heavy soldiers guarding the capital, guarding the safety of the capital, and they cannot be easily transferred. Once transferred, if a thief takes the opportunity to cause chaos, the consequences will be unimaginable, and the capital will be in danger. ”

"Your Majesty must not mobilize the soldiers and horses of Jinglu."

The courtiers knelt on the ground again, saying that the emperor was not allowed to use the soldiers and horses of the Jinglu Soldiers and Horses Battalion.

The emperor was angry, got out of bed, stretched out his hand and pointed at the courtiers one by one, "You, you are not allowed to call the soldiers and horses of Jinglu, then you say, An Huajin plotted to kill the emperor's heir, how to catch her?" ”

"Lord An Xiaojun killed people because of delirium, and his crime is not to death." One person said, "Your Majesty, first of all, we must find out the reason why Lord An Xiaojun is delirious, and this is the point. ”

"After all, Lord An Xiaojun is young, and after doing such things, he is about the same as beating the little prince three years ago, and he was afraid that he ran back to Nanyang. His Majesty can ask the King of Nanyang to punish the small county lord of An. ”

"Let the King of Nanyang punish?" The emperor laughed angrily, "He protects his granddaughter, how can he punish him?" ”

"The ministers believe that the king of Nanyang is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, and he will definitely personally escort the little county lord to Beijing to apologize to His Majesty." An old minister said, "Before the matter is understood, Your Majesty really shouldn't shout and kill like this." ”

"Nanyang Wangfu has the credit to Sheji, the great Chu Jiangshan, and the meritorious service, Your Majesty can't be guilty of her, and like this, you have to kill the little county lord of An After the Nanyang Palace, it chilled the hearts of loyal ministers."

"The ministers are willing to ask Your Majesty to take back the order, and the sea fishing documents must also be withdrawn."

The ministers were the best at eloquence, so for a while, the emperor felt that he was indefensible.

The emperor was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but looking at the looks of the courtiers who were determined to die, he couldn't help but feel powerless.

In the past, I didn't see the courtiers like to protect the An family so much, in addition to being afraid of the military authority of the An family's millions of soldiers and horses, they also wore small shoes for the An family behind their backs.

But today, what's going on?

Even Wei Zhen, who was supposed to receive the order, also disapprovingly persuaded His Majesty that he should not call the soldiers and horses of Jinglu, and even suggested honestly that he should ask the emperor to give an order to thoroughly investigate why the little county lord of An was delirious? There must be an inside story in this matter. After all, Lord An Xiaojun came to Beijing twice, but he was murdered and assassinated, and this time it may be the conspiracy of the people behind it, that is, to use His Majesty to get rid of Lord An Xiaojun.

Wei Zhen has been in the camp of soldiers and horses in Jinglu, so naturally he doesn't know much about the inside story, and only vaguely knows that An Huajin killed Hua Ruyu in a delirious state on the day of the palace banquet, and after that, he was taken away by Gu Qingyan, and he took Gu Qingyan with him, and there is no trace of him so far.

Therefore, he would not have thought that it was the emperor's calculation of An Huajin that caused An Huajin to kill Hua Ruyu.

And secretly calculating the matter of An Huajin, the emperor naturally can't openly move to the open to say it clearly, so the courtiers who know the inside story don't say it, and the courtiers who don't know the inside story don't know, and it also causes the courtiers to ask His Majesty to investigate the inside story thoroughly, and then, and then negotiate with the king of Nanyang about the matter of An Xiaojun Lord, shouting and shouting and killing, which is the next policy.

The emperor has reason to suspect that although the old man Gu did not come today, but, with the background of the Gu family, among these courtiers, there may be many people from the Gu family's faction, who keep advising him for his good, but in fact, it is not the Gu family who protects An Huajin?

The emperor couldn't say his suffering, he had nowhere to vent his anger, and for a while, he couldn't get up in one breath, and fainted again.

The courtiers collectively saw the emperor fainting, and they were frightened for a while, and hurriedly called the imperial doctor.

The imperial doctor checked the emperor's pulse several times a day, and each time the emperor's anger caused him to attack his heart and his condition worsened, and this time he was even more angry and fainted.

The doctor was helpless.

As a result, the emperor's dormitory was in chaos for a while, and the courtiers saw that the emperor had fainted, although there was no danger to his life, but it was not appropriate to go away, so they all stayed in the emperor's dormitory, waiting for the emperor to wake up.

I was thinking about it, His Majesty's temperament was really big, and I was also thinking about whether His Majesty cared too much about that woman like jade.

It is said that the red face is a disaster water, this flower is like a jade is a disaster water, it is a sin girl born from the heavenly prison into the palace was criticized, and later confused His Majesty to unite the thief to harm the small county lord of An, but His Majesty is protected, pregnant is not honest, in the cold palace because of a typhoid fever every day to ask the doctor to toss the hospital not to say, but also hook the emperor's soul every day without reading the hook to the cold palace, now, was killed by the lord of An Xiaojun, although the imperial heir in the stomach does make people feel a pity should not be, but delirium is also excusable, Your Majesty does not track the inside story, On the contrary, he wanted to kill the small county lord An for the crime of murdering his heirs, and used the Praetorian Guards, not to mention, but also used the soldiers and horses of the five cities, and the Ouchi guards, and now, he actually wanted to use the soldiers and horses of the Jinglu soldiers and horses battalion.

Lord An Xiaojun is guilty of killing the emperor's heir, but the crime is not death.

But Your Majesty, this is really ......

The courtiers really felt that this matter could not be said.

King Jing and Concubine Liang have been waiting for His Majesty to abolish the queen, and also waiting for His Majesty to send someone to send back the good news that An Huajin was killed, but unfortunately I didn't expect that what they were waiting for was not the news that An Huajin was killed, but the news that the inner guards sent by His Majesty were all killed, and that's it, His Majesty mobilized the soldiers and horses of the Jinglu Soldiers and Horses Battalion to chase after him, and encountered the collective resistance of the courtiers, even if he fainted, he could not make the courtiers change their words.

Jing Wang angrily threw a teacup and convened his staff to discuss countermeasures.

The emperor did guess correctly, the courtiers' move was naturally secretly promoted by the Gu family, even if Gu Qingyan did not instruct him, but the old man Gu could not let the emperor mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Jinglu Soldiers and Horses Battalion, once the soldiers and horses of the Jinglu Soldiers and Horses Battalion were mobilized, not to mention that An Huajin could not be found, it would not end well.

If the king of Nanyang gets the news, the cold heart is a trivial matter, will he be angry and sick, after all, the king of Nanyang is the most loyal to the country.

If the king of Nanyang is sick, the generals of the Nanyang army, I am afraid that after knowing the inside story, they will be filled with righteous indignation, and take advantage of the illness of the king of Nanyang, and turn around, then they will not be able to suppress it.

Once it can't be suppressed, the consequences are unimaginable.

Therefore, no matter how much His Majesty makes trouble, the soldiers and horses of Jinglu cannot move.
