Chapter 497: Calamity
In the Jingzhao Imperial City, there is a gloomy mist.
In the Zichen Palace, from time to time, there will be news that the emperor is in a bad mood, whether it is a palace maid or an attendant, they are all cautious.
The two newly appointed palace ministers are trembling every day in the Zichen Palace, for fear that if the emperor is in a bad mood, it will affect them.
It's no wonder that they were so frightened, there were a few chamberlains before, who were killed by the emperor's staff because of a trivial matter; Even Zuo Liangzhe and Si Nongqing Lei Zhiyuan, among the subordinates, were reprimanded twice by the emperor. If a high-ranking official is still like this, what is so surprising that these two five-rank officials will be affected?
Who called Emperor Jingxing to be in a bad mood recently? The disasters of Dayong are one after another, and those sent to Jingzhao from all over the world are all bad news, and there is no happy thing.
Northern Xinjiang and Longyou Road have been occupied by Jiang Bowen, and the entire Longyou Guard, only Jiang Bowen is the first to look forward; The officials of Northern Xinjiang and Longyou Province either defected to Jiang Bowen or were killed by Jiang Bowen; As for the people of these two places, they are all curled up in a ball, and they actually don't care who the one on the throne is. Jiang Shi out, Wan Minshi" such rumors are there, as long as they don't hinder their lives.
It can be said that these two places are in chaos, the news of Longyou Dao is controlled by Jiang Bowen, and the news that Jingzhao knows is not accurate.
The military department has deployed the Kannai guard to quell the chaos, but so far, there has been no good news, and there have even been several defeats. Yan Luzheng, the general of the Guannei Guard, personally recruited and led the troops, but he was no match for the fierce Longyou Guard soldiers, and the damage was also quite heavy.
Zheng Diheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, had already issued an order, and went to the aid of Guan Neiwei with Jian Nanwei to contain Jiang Bowen's offensive. Jian Nanwei has not yet converged with Guan Neiwei, and it is not known what the situation is now.
This is just one of them, and the second is the bad news from Hanoi Province. Pham Jae-chang, the Hanoi Provincial Observer, has sent several urgent letters saying that the flooding in Hanoi Province has intensified. The flood was already visible, and he applied for assistance from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households. If Hanoi Province had another flood in front of the stage, the situation that Hanoi Province had managed to calm down would definitely be destroyed by flooding.
But these few urgent letters. Emperor Jingxing had no time to take care of it at all, because there was another piece of news that made his heart shake like pins and needles. News from Xining Dao earlier: Sima Hao, the Emperor of Xiyan, led an army of 300,000 to conquer in person!
This news shocked Emperor Jingxing and the courtiers and couldn't sit still. Emperor Jingxing and his courtiers knew that the invasion of the Western Yan army was much worse than the floods in Hanoi Province. If the invasion of Xiyan is successful, then the Dayong generals will not be the country, and the dynasty will not be the dynasty, so how can the monarch and the ministers come?
The Ministry of War has issued an urgent order overnight to let Lingnan Wei go to Xining Road to help, only hoping that Lingnan Wei's reinforcements will still be in time.
It's just that the good hopes of Emperor Jingxing and the courtiers were disappointed, and then. There was an urgent report that Wenzhen was lost and Xiao Ruoyuan was killed in battle!
Wenzhen was lost, Xiao Ruoyuan was killed in battle, and Dayong's first line of defense in Xining Road had been broken by Xiyan. So how about Queensland Hui? What will happen to Xining Road? What will happen to Daeyong?
At this time, no one in Jingzhao could assert the next situation. With the Xiao family erecting the mourning shed white flag, Jingzhao's officials. I only felt that there was a dark and heavy sky pressing down on my head.
Emperor Jingxing in the Zichen Palace, of course, was also in such a mood. For several days in the morning, his face was gloomy.
On this day, Emperor Jingxing finished the early dynasty, and his expression was still dark. On the Xuanzheng Palace, news came from Xining Dao again, and it was Xining Wei who shocked Zhao Yugang and treasoned with the enemy. He has been beheaded by the angry Xining guards.
This is even worse news for the Jingzhao court. Originally, Emperor Jingxing was still counting on Zhao Yugang to resist the invasion of Xiyan, but he didn't expect it to be like this!
"Zhao Yugang, this traitor! It has something to do with King Min, and it's really not a good thing! After returning to the Zichen Palace, Emperor Jingxing spit out this sentence hatefully.
He still remembered that Emperor Changtai was the daughter of Zhao Yugang when he married Shangguan Yongping.
Tang Mi lowered his head. Listening to Emperor Jingxing's cruel words, his heart was full of mixed feelings. He accompanied Emperor Jingxing for a long time, and when Emperor Jingxing was still the prince, he went from Zhongcui Palace to the East Palace and took Xia Qi's vacancy.
The friendship of master and servant, monarch and minister. It's all getting along. The more time passes, the deeper the affection will become. But the longer Tang Mi served Emperor Jingxing, the more disappointed he became.
He has been by Emperor Jingxing's side for a long time, and he knows every thought of Emperor Jingxing, so he naturally knows what kind of person Emperor Jingxing is.
Hidden under the majesty of the emperor is a narrow-minded, selfish, murderous and suspicious heart! This is Tang Mi's true evaluation of the master he serves.
Tang Mi is an inner servant, but he has a different past from ordinary inner servants, before the family road falls, he has seen and known, so that he has a different judgment, especially after the Shen family is active in the court, his opinion of Emperor Jingxing has his own thoughts. The more he saw over the years, the more he thought about it.
The people around the Shen family will be invisibly affected by the Shen family. They know what loyalty is, they also know what patriotism is, and they know what "themselves" are, in the final analysis, this is also the reason for Shen Congshan's influence.
Another world, another civilization, is still a little different.
Of course, Tang Mi didn't know what another world and another civilization were, he was just thinking, what would Emperor Jingxing do when Dayong was devastated everywhere? As a status, can you cut off the carrion to cure the sores?
All Emperor Jingxing could do was to strictly order the officials of the military department to deploy troops to deal with Jiang Bowen's rebellion and the invasion of Western Yan; At the same time, officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs have stepped up their efforts to deal with the floods in Hanoi Province.
In Emperor Jingxing's opinion, the monarch ordered the Zichen Palace, and the rest was the affairs of the officials. Now that the Zhongshu Order is vacant, fortunately, Lou Lefeng, who temporarily replaced the post of Zhongshu Ling, is a sincere person, and Emperor Jingxing's will can be issued through Zhongshu Province, as for how much the officials below can do, and how much control over the situation is, it is not something that Zhongshu Province can control.
The imperial power of Emperor Jingxing and the influence of imperial power can make the officials do to what extent, this is the influence of the imperial order.
Emperor Jingxing didn't know this, what he did know was that now his throne was not firmly seated. Several of his royal brothers have died, but there are still gradually older royal brothers. This fact, in the case of the great eternal disaster, will make him even more frightened.
This also made him realize that Dayong's throne is not the only one he is qualified to sit on.
"Tang Mi, pass on my will, and let Jinwu Zuowei Si Rank Kong Wu come to Zichen Palace." Immediately, Emperor Jingxing commanded.
"The minion takes orders." Tang Mi answered, but his heart was raised. What did the emperor want to do when he called these secret guards?
In terms of the official system, the rank of Jinwu Zuowei is a six-rank military attaché, and his official position is not high. But in fact, Dayong's Zuowei Division is the leader of the Dayong Emperor's secret guard, leading a part of the Jinwuwei soldiers, who only obey the emperor's orders, and even Wei Yanqing, the general of the Jinwuwei, cannot mobilize them at will.
The Shangguan royal family has been in business for many years, and there are always some secret forces, and the secret guard of the division rank is one of them. This was taken over by Emperor Jingxing from Emperor Changtai.
The number of division-level secret guards, even Tang Mi did not know, because when Emperor Jingxing summoned Kong Wu, he ordered Tang Mi to avoid outside the Zichen Palace.
This time, what did Emperor Jingxing summon Kong Wu for? Tang Mi avoided it, and he didn't hear what Emperor Jingxing said to Kong Wu, so naturally he didn't know.
But soon, he knew what Emperor Jingxing had summoned Kong Wu for. Because subsequently, the young sons left by Emperor Changtai were younger than Emperor Jingxing, that is, the emperors of Emperor Jingxing, who died violently in a short period of time due to drowning, serious illness and other different reasons.
It's about the same as the original Ten Princes.
Naturally, Tang Mi also knew Emperor Jingxing's mind of cutting grass and eradicating roots. It's funny to say, this root is still the root of Shangguan's lineage.
There is no family affection in the heavenly family, it has always been like this.
After Tang Mi heard about these things, he only raised the corners of his mouth, and his eyes darkened. Once again, he felt that his brother Shen Qi was very right: the number of great eternal qi was exhausted, and another virtuous lord took his place.
In any case, after the death of several emperors, Emperor Jingxing's mood was much happier. Although there is no good news from Longyou Road and Xining Road, Emperor Jingxing always feels that there will be good news.
On this day, Si Tianjian Xu Fengzhang asked to see him outside the Zichen Palace. Xu Fengzhang, like the former Si Tianjian Jun Fule, was more at the top of Si Tiantai, but less when he appeared in the imperial court. If it weren't for the edict, he wouldn't come to Zichen Palace.
This time, what is he asking for?
Emperor Jingxing was a little puzzled, and after he heard Xu Fengzhang's speech clearly, his slightly happy mood was like being splashed with ice water, and it immediately disappeared.
What is Xu Fengzhang talking about?
"Your Majesty, the ministers threw the spirit hexagram three times, which is indeed a sign of calamity, distress, and difficulty in moving an inch."
What Xu Fengzhang said was the result of his hexagram.
He had already shown the image of guarding his heart before, but he never dared to say it to Emperor Jingxing. If there is chaos everywhere today, and the royal family has funerals one after another, he started this hexagram, and from the hexagram, he is afraid that the world will be in chaos.
As Si Tianjian, he has to tell Emperor Jingxing about this hexagram.
It is conceivable how unhappy Emperor Jingxing was when he heard this hexagram. He is the monarch of the Great Eternity, but the Great Eternal Calamity is here, what does this mean?
Scourge, what is it? Before Emperor Jingxing could ask, there was an attendant outside the Zichen Hall singing: "Emperor Qi, the attendant in the Kunning Palace asks to see!" The Tao is the queen's mother who moved in advance! ”
The queen is moving, is she going to give birth? But the queen is pregnant, and it is not yet ten months, so she is about to give birth so soon?
Emperor Jingxing in the Zichen Palace, as well as Xu Fengzhang, who was reporting on the appearance of the disaster, heard the news that the queen was about to give birth, but there was no joy at all.
