Chapter 149: The New Emperor
Wang Mang and Du Yun have fought many times, but they have never been cheap, and he is far more jealous of Du Yun than Liu Xin. But thinking about it, I felt that it was not appropriate to execute Du Yun immediately.
"The first emperor once had an edict, he and Dong Xian were going to live and sleep together and die together. Now that His Majesty has died, even if he is not a murderer, he will not escape death. He was allowed to live for two more days, and he was buried with the first emperor. ”
Since Wang Mang said so, Liu Xin didn't say more. Now that the court is in chaos, the forces of all parties are ready to move, and there are too many things that need to be arranged, and they can't take care of so much for a while.
However, it was their ignorance that made Liu Jian seize the opportunity to sneak out of the Qilin Palace.
"Master, what should we do now?" Xiao Zhuzi accompanied Liu Jian to escape from the Qilin Palace, and his legs were weak with fright. "Otherwise, we will escape from the palace and go back to Zhongshan."
Liu Jin hit Xiao Zhuzi's head hard: "Say you're stupid, you're really a pig, you almost lost half your life when you came out of the Qilin Palace, you still want to get out of the palace, and you want to go back to Zhongshan, take what you can." ”
Touching his head, Xiao Zhuzi looked aggrieved: "The emperor died, and now the palace is in chaos, and those people have no good intentions towards the master." If we don't go back to Zhongshan, what will we do? ”
Clenching the blank scroll of holy decrees in his hand, Liu Jian didn't have any good ideas in his heart. "If only I could find the master, he is so smart, there must be a way."
Xiao Zhuzi pouted: "Lord Dong is now unrelated to the murder of the monarch, and he is locked up in the Criminal Division, and he can't protect himself......"
Liu Jian stretched out his hand and twisted Xiao Zhuzi's ears: "Didn't the master already spread the word in the Shen Criminal Division, he will be fine." ”
"Is that what the old eunuch said? People are just afraid that you will mess up and comfort you, and the crime of killing the monarch is nothing else, so it's so easy to be fine. Besides, as soon as the emperor dies, Lord Dong's biggest backer is gone, what can he do if he is smart. ”
Liu Yin rolled his eyes: "Shut up, and if you talk again, this son will castrate your tongue." ”
Xiao Zhuzi covered his mouth with his hands and obediently quieted down.
"Let's go, let's go to the Empress Dowager." Looking in the direction of Changxin Palace, Liu Jian made up his mind.
Xiao Zhuzi was puzzled: "The Empress Dowager is now under house arrest, what's the use of looking for her." ”
Liu Zhen really wanted to kick the idiot next to him: "Then who do you say is useful?" Wang Mang? Now he has great power, and it is useful to find him, you can go. ”
Xiao Zhuzi muttered: "I'm not stupid, it's not self-defeating to find him." ”
Liu Jian was speechless, pulled a small bamboo and hid on the side of the road, and waited for the patrol guards to leave before continuing to walk towards Changxin Palace.
Liu Jian was young, his bones had not yet opened, and Xiao Zhuzi was even thinner, so he changed into the clothes of a palace maid, and actually let the master and servant really mix in.
"The Empress Dowager, I see you coming." As soon as Liu Jian saw the Empress Dowager, he threw herself into her arms and cried.
The Empress Dowager hurriedly helped him up, and couldn't believe it: "Yin'er, you are really Zhen'er." ”
Sweeping away tears with horizontal sleeves, Liu Jian raised his head: "The Empress Dowager, look at me, I am a child, I am a child." ”
The Empress Dowager looked incredulous: "You...... How did you get in, you're okay. ”
Liu Yin's tears hung on his eyelashes, but he forced himself to show a smiling face, which made the Queen Mother feel distressed enough. "Good boy, good boy, it's okay if you're fine, when you come to the mourning family, the mourning family will definitely protect you and won't let those wolf cubs hurt you."
"Empress Dowager, don't worry, I am the son of a dragon and a phoenix, and I have the blessing of the emperor, and no one can hurt me. I am a man, the emperor's uncle is gone, and I will protect the empress dowager in the future. ”
The icing on the cake is easy, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, and the Queen Mother has never been so embarrassed in her life. And Liu Yin's words just softened the almost withered heart of the Queen Mother. "Good, good, good boy, worthy of being my Liu descendant."
Out of the corner of her eye, the Empress Dowager noticed a different color in Liu Yin's arms. "Son, what's in your arms?"
Liu Yin leaned on the shoulder of the Empress Dowager and whispered: "Empress Dowager, this is given to Jian Er by the emperor's uncle, saying that it is a crisis, and you can hand it over to the Empress Dowager." ”
As he spoke, Liu Yin took out the blank holy decree and handed it to the Empress Dowager.
After taking the holy decree, the Empress Dowager shook her hands, and with an "ah" sound, she stood up. "Zhen'er, what else did your imperial uncle say?"
Liu Jian looked innocent and shook his head: "No, just explain that in case of crisis, you can hand this over to the Empress Dowager." Xian'er thinks that now there is no monarch in the country, and the world is chaotic, isn't it a time of crisis? ”
The Empress Dowager's eyes changed a few times, and she almost wanted to see Liu Yin into her bone marrow, and she was speechless for a long time.
"You're right, now is the national crisis, the catastrophe of the society. That's it, the country can't be without an owner for a day, how can the dragons be leaderless, you are also a descendant of my Liu family, the great task is coming, you are afraid. ”
Liu Yin left the arms of the Empress Dowager, knelt down and kowtowed, and made a big salute: "The country is in danger, Liu Yin is duty-bound, the Empress Dowager, I will do whatever you ask your great-grandson to do." ”
The Empress Dowager pulled Liu Yin up and chattered: "Good boy, good boy, now the imperial grandmother entrusts you with this great Han country." I hope you can learn from your imperial uncle and be a good emperor. ”
"Great-grandson Liu Jin, I don't dare to do it, I must be a Ming Jun." Finally completed the task assigned by Du Yun, Liu Jian breathed a sigh of relief. wiped his sweat, squinted at Xiao Zhuzi, and was proud in his heart: Who said that being smart is useless, stupid!
With the holy decree and the support of the Empress Dowager, he is now waiting for Defuhai to escort him, and I don't know if it will go well on his side.
After the Empress Dowager calmed down the initial emotion and excitement, she gradually returned to her shrewdness, looked at Liu Yin and said, "What are you waiting for?" ”
Liu Yin took the arm of the Empress Dowager and said shyly: "The Empress Dowager still remembers the internal guard established by the emperor's uncle. ”
The Empress Dowager didn't speak, just looked at Liu Jian with burning eyes.
Liu Jian continued: "Xian'er has a token to mobilize the internal guards, and I have asked Defuhai to take the token to mobilize the internal guards and let them protect the Empress Dowager." ”
The Empress Dowager was not angry but laughed: "The great-grandson of the mourning family has quietly grown up, you have to call yourself me in the future, good boy, without you, I, do you understand?" ”
"Yes, the Empress Dowager, I understand."
As he spoke, there was a shout of killing outside. The Empress Dowager held Liu Yin's hand and couldn't help trembling: The bloody wind and blood rain is another round of sun and moon transformation, I hope God bless my big man!
The sound of killing gradually stopped, and footsteps sounded outside the door. One person's armor was stained with blood, pushed the door and knelt in front of the Empress Dowager: "The head of the internal guard, Zuo Ming, was late to escort the Empress Dowager, which frightened the Empress Dowager." ”
"It turned out to be you." The Empress Dowager smiled, and then said: "It's good to come, let's be even, it's hard to be the leader." ”
