546 Forced Palace
is also because of these people, although some people were a little surprised when they saw Pei Jinzhen at first glance, but Pei Jinzhen's existence was not too eye-catching.
Although some people are surprised, didn't this person go to worship the Buddha? I don't know when I came back, when, and how I got into the palace?
It's just that now is an extraordinary time after all, and she is by Empress Zheng's side, among these people, many of them are smart, and they naturally know what to ask and what not to say. Seeing that Empress Zheng didn't mention it, she also closed her mouth.
Therefore, after just saluting, he was silent all the way and rushed to the Chengming Palace.
Outside the Chengming Palace, it was already surrounded by the forbidden army and the brocade guards, and when I arrived here, I could hear the shouting and killing sound at the Wuding Gate more and more clearly, and it made people jump more and more frightened.
When I entered the hall, it was as wide as expected, but there were already quite a few people standing.
Their ladies either went straight into the side hall or went around the apse and entered, but they did not alarm the people in the front hall.
Through the screen, they could faintly see the people in the front hall and hear their words clearly, but the people in the front hall could not see them.
When they entered the hall, someone shook the dust and greeted them, "Niangniang, you can count it, Your Majesty has asked a few times, you are here, Your Majesty must be at ease." ”
Then, he looked at Pei Jinzhen again, but his face was also unchanged, and he smiled and said, "Mrs. Shizi is also here, that's better, in this way, it will be a matter of Your Majesty's mind." ”
Pei Jinzhen saw Wei Yan in front of him, his mind was racing, but his face was not obvious at all, as before, his demeanor was respectful and calm, "Thank you father-in-law for your concern." ”
At this time, there was a faint sound of dispute in the front hall, presumably uneasy about the situation at this time.
Wei Yan's face was as usual, and he said with a smile, "Niangniang will sit down for a while, and the slave will go and say goodbye to Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty can feel at ease." ”
That is, Pei Jinzhen followed Queen Zheng, so that he could go all the way to the apse.
As for the other palace concubines and female dependents, they were directly led into the side hall.
Empress Zheng nodded, and Wei Yan bowed and retreated.
Pei Jinzhen helped Empress Zheng to sit down on the side, looked up, and could see through the screen that Wei Yan had walked to Emperor Yonghe's side, bowing down to reply.
Emperor Yonghe turned his back to them, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, but at least his back was still upright and straight, and when he thought about it, he was still healthy, at least not as rumored to be.
The door of the temple opened suddenly, and a figure walked in quickly, and from the open door of the temple, you could vaguely see the scattered figures outside, and you could already see the soldiers in armor gathered from outside, and in a blink of an eye, they guarded the entire Chengming Hall layer by layer.
The one who came in the door was actually Jing'anhou in armor, speaking of which, Pei Jinzhen hadn't seen Jing'anhou in armor before, but he was also extraordinarily heroic.
Even if his face is calm and his temples are frosty, he is also vigorous, as if as long as the armor is on his body, all his injuries will be healed without medicine.
He strode to Emperor Yonghe, bowed down and saluted with his fists, and then said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the Wuding Gate has been broken, and the minister has ordered to retreat to the Chengming Palace, and he will definitely swear to protect His Majesty." ”
Emperor Yonghe coughed twice in a low voice, "Marquis Jing'an has worked hard, the door of the Chengming Hall is handed over to you, and the safety of me, the queen and all the ministers is entrusted to you, I am very relieved." ”
Jing'an Hou replied, then turned his head and walked out of the hall.
And those civil and military ministers who were already whispering and panicking couldn't hold back anymore when they arrived at this time.
After discussing in a low voice for a while, someone stepped forward and knelt down and asked, "Your Majesty, after all, it is father and son, it is better to invite King Fu in, there is something to say, it is all a misunderstanding." ”
"Yes! Your Majesty, the misunderstanding is over, and it will be fine. "Someone starts, and someone agrees.
"Misunderstanding?" Emperor Yonghe snorted coldly, "According to the ministers, what kind of misunderstanding is it?" ”
"Your Majesty, King Fu is afraid that he thinks something has happened to His Majesty, so worrying about His Majesty is also the filial piety of the Son of Man."
"I don't know, Lord Yang, you are actually King Fu's party." Emperor Yonghe cut off the man's words, slowly curled the corners of his lips, and the words he said had a cold taste.
The person who spoke before shuddered, raised his head, and hit Emperor Yonghe's eyes without temperature, and then a spirit was excited, and he quickly knelt down in the ground, "Your Majesty, the minister didn't mean that." The minister just ......" just didn't come out, but it was already a cold sweat.
"I know better than you what King Fu has in mind. According to you, how can this so-called misunderstanding be resolved? If King Fu wants the position of the East Palace, will I depose the crown prince and allow him to ascend the throne? Or, if he wants to be emperor directly, will I also abdicate and make way for Xian? ”
Emperor Yonghe's words didn't even raise the volume, but with an inexplicable majesty, the entire hall was silent, and then, several "poof" sounds sounded one after another, and people were already kneeling in a hall. A few even shouted "Your Majesty spare your life!" ”
Only a few people in the audience seemed to be unaffected. Emperor Yonghe half-closed his eyes, his fingers resting on the chair were tapping lightly and irregularly, and the white jade wrench on his thumb gently bumped against the rosewood countertop, making a slight and crisp sound. The sound, though slight, fell on the ears of some people, but it was a trembling sound.
Not to mention, the sound of soldiers is already rising outside the Chengming Palace, and I don't know what will happen in the end. At least, the man who was now sitting on the dragon chair in the temple had enough power to kill them in an instant.
After Wei Yan replied, he stood beside Emperor Yonghe with the crown prince Xiao Yun on the left and right. Wei Yan was just that, and Xiao Yun stood silently like a shadow from the beginning, as if he hadn't heard a word of what they said.
At this time, the voice of the soldiers outside the hall became clearer and clearer.
The people of the temple did not speak again.
They were silent for each other, as if they were holding their breath, waiting for something.
Tonight, some things will finally settle down.
The sound of the soldiers gradually subsided, and fell silent.
In the hall, the falling needles can be heard.
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the hall, a sound, dullly, as if knocking on people's hearts, but it passed through the spacious open space outside the Chengming Palace, went up the steps, and came straight to the door of the palace.
The people in the hall turned their heads to look at the closed hall door, even Xiao Yun was no exception.
Outside the window, the sky had gradually darkened, and it had been snowing for a long time, and the sky was very gloomy.
Outside the Chengming Palace, a torch was already lit, and the flickering light of the fire reflected the figure on the door, making people's hearts beat and their hearts seemed to jump out of their throats.
Finally, the heavy door of the temple squeaked open.
Two armored figures walked in against the light, the first one, with some urgency, although they tried their best to restrain themselves, the faint excitement on their faces could not be suppressed. Even if it is coming in the wind and snow, the face is infinitely spring.
