The Chaoyang Gate opened, and countless military horses poured in like cháo water.

With such a big movement, it is impossible for the various yamen to pretend to be blind.

The officials on duty in the Yamen, such as the Shuntian Mansion, the Five Cities Terracotta Division, and the Ministries, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, received the news, and their faces were pulled down one by one.

In fact, originally, no matter how good it is in the palace, as long as it is not **, it can be a peaceful transition, and everyone can pretend to be confused, but now there is news in private, saying that His Majesty is seriously ill, but he is seriously ill or not, after all, it has nothing to do with your adults.

Think about it, this Jiajing Emperor is not a Ming Jun, it is really not worth everyone's nostalgia, and even if Jiajing is a big deal, the next emperor is still a member of the old Zhu family after all, no matter how bad it is, it can't be worse than Jiajing and Zhengde, maybe you can meet a good emperor, therefore, everyone is pretending to be confused, pretending that they don't know anything, their eyes are black, no matter what happens in the palace, if Your Majesty is safe and sound, then it is naturally good, if something really happens to Your Majesty, then it is nothing more than to say, we are foreign ministers, How did the ministers know what was going on in the palace, everyone was blinded and didn't know.

Therefore, it is very important to pretend to be confused, this kind of thing cannot be mixed, and there is a risk if it is mixed.

But now, the surname Xu has smashed this good pot of porridge.

Evil, evil, is this guy still human, this is a beast, what a good thing it was, singing, dancing, no matter what the final result is, it will not affect himself, and the soldiers surnamed Xu are carrying out, but it is tantamount to giving everyone a problem.

Originally, everyone could say that they didn't know, but now, Xu Qian has led troops into Beijing, and in the name of the palace, His Majesty is dying, and he wants to save him.

So, can you still be indifferent, and can you still say that you don't know anything?

But the question arises again, whether there is a change in the palace, if it is really a change, it is good for everyone to follow Xu Qian and beat gongs and drums, anyway, just join in the fun, maybe everyone can still make a difference. But there are risks, if there is no change in the palace, and Xu Qian rashly leads troops into Beijing, this is almost the same as rebellion, don't forget, how did Fang Xianfu finish, he 'unauthorized' transferred troops to Nanjing City, and it did not cause consequences, it is almost a big crime, and this Xu Butang really led the troops into Běijīng City, and also removed the arms of the officers and soldiers at the city gate, if this is Xu Qian in the name of saving the driver, you ran to carry a sedan chair for him, is this a death?

So, everyone was dumbfounded.

They found a problem, you scolded Xu Qian for rebelling riskily; At the same time, you shouted for help, and it was still risky to applaud after following Xu Qian**; The worst thing is that even if you want to be a turtle with a shrunken head, want to bury your head in the sand, and want to do nothing that happened, this is 100% risky, no matter what the result is, someone will come to ask in the end, where you were that day, the night Xu Qian rebelled or rescued the driver, as an official of the court, why didn't you see your figure, you bastard, eat Lao Tzu and drink Lao Tzu, you don't contribute at the critical moment, what's the use of you?

It is precisely because of this that when the various officials and the old men heard that Xu Qian led the troops into Beijing, they couldn't cry or laugh one by one, and scolded Xu Qian in their hearts, but then, they had to consider a very realistic question, which side to bet on, whether to stop the military horses entering Beijing, accuse them of having no will, and plotting against them, or run to lead the party, shouting that His Majesty is dying, and the ministers should repay their lives.

Annoying, it is precisely because of Xu Qian that everyone can't advance and retreat, and they don't dare to retreat, and now they have to bet on their own net worth, and this bet is inevitably too big.

Suncheonfu ......

Yin Zhaogao of Shuntian Mansion had already appeared in the palace with an irritated face, he put his hands behind his back, and listened to the official announcement: "My lord, the royal lieutenant and the new army have already taken control of the inner city, and the Shenji battalion has also been on guard, and the attitude is unclear, neither dare to touch the new army, but he is unwilling to 'rescue' with Lord Xu. And ......"

Zhao Gao rubbed his temples, hard......

Now many people have taken a stand, but regardless of their position, at least one thing is certain, this is a multiple-choice question that no one knows, the answer can only be revealed after dawn, and if you choose the wrong one, you have to bet on your career or even your head.

"What did the officials say?"

"There is no movement from the Ministry for the time being, but it is said that some officials from the Ministry have already stopped the new army."

Zhao Gao narrowed his eyes and said, "Xu Qian claims to be on the orders of the first assistant Yang Gong, is this news accurate?" ”

The hall official smiled bitterly and said: "The crux of the problem is here, no one knows, Xu Qian's words are true or false, Jinyiwei has a thousand households, but Xu Qian's cousin, when he deceived the city gate, he also said that there was the queen mother's decree, this kind of thing, who can say clearly, the lower official thinks that if the surname is Xu, there may be ** may not be credible." ”

Zhao Gao said lightly: "It's up to now, I can't help you and me, if you don't make a noise now, no matter what the answer is, you and I will be unlucky, so, since you have to choose one, you still send three classes to go out to block the new army, of course, don't be too intense, the meaning will be, follow the surname Xu, if this guy harbors evil intentions, you and I are all rebellions, and rebellion is to be linked; Now against Xu Qian's rescue, at most he will say that he is unconscious, and he doesn't know what to do, it is nothing more than a dismissal of the official, which is more important, and you can tell the difference if you want to come, so do it. ”

The hall official nodded and said, "The lower official will arrange it." ”

"Your Excellency...... Your Excellency......" Another hall official rushed in breathlessly, and said, "Your Excellency, the latest news, the Ministry of Officials...... The officials changed their attitude, and the left waiter of the ministry supported Xu Qian to save the ......"

"Ah...... Wait, come back ......" Zhao Gao had to stop the hall official who was going to arrange, he knew that something was wrong, the ministry was Yang Gong who also served as the yamen of Shangshu, and it was the ministry directly under the cabinet, and the news was often more well-informed than other yamen, and now the officials suddenly changed the direction of the wind, and it was obvious that they must have received some rumors.

"Have you changed your mind?" The previous cousin asked.

Zhao Gao nodded his head: "The old man thinks about it, this thing is not right, the surname Xu is not a fool, he dares to take this risk, there must be a lot of certainty, the officials are there, maybe Yang Gong has already spread any news from the palace, it may not be, it seems that Xu Qian said that he was ordered by Yang Gong to quell the rebellion, but it may not be groundless, this matter, you have to think about it again, let's stop...... The old man went to go in person, where is the new army now, and where is the surname Xu? ”

"The new army has occupied the Jinyao in the city, and the main force has gone to the noon gate."

didn't go to Daming Gate, obviously even if Xu Qian 'rescued', he also knew that it was taboo, although Daming Gate was the closest, but only the Son of Heaven could enter and exit there, which was extraordinary, Xu Qian was still very cautious.

Zhao Gao said: "Very good, prepare a sedan chair and go to the noon gate." ”

"My lord, do you want to go?" The cousin said hesitantly.

Zhao Gao sneered: "It's better to go together." ”

The officials looked at each other one by one, originally thought that it would be good to let their chief official make a statement on their behalf, who knew that Zhao Gao was not a fool, or rather, but anyone who was an official, none of them was a fool, this kind of thing, of course, is to pull people's heads, the more heads they pulled, everyone can rest assured, even if the surname Xu harbors evil intentions, if everyone runs away, the court will blame it, and everyone can be killed, and in the end it may be that the hundred officials were coerced by the surname Xu, this kind of thing, of course, Zhao Gao weighed it clearly, and wished everyone stood with him.

Sitting in a sedan chair, together with the subordinate officials of the Yali, under the guard of a team of errands, Zhao Gao came to the outside of the noon gate.

The closer you get to the noon gate, you can see more and more murderous new officers and soldiers, on the royal road, swords out of sheaths, people neighing, murderous spirit, a team of officers and soldiers walking by the sedan chair with open fire, and occasionally someone shouting: "What person." The name was announced, and the other party shouted: "Don't stay here." It seems that after the report, someone said: "Go this way." ”

Zhao Gao in the sedan chair was dizzy, heard the sound outside, frightened, people are obviously serious, when the sedan chair was dropped, Zhao Gao found that he had appeared not far from the noon gate, there have been many officials gathered here, seeing them, Zhao Gao was like seeing a life-saving straw, hurriedly stepped forward, bumped into an acquaintance, and hurriedly saluted: "Lord Wu, it turns out that you are also there." ”

This Lord Wu served in Dali Temple and was a well-known royal party, and when Lord Wu saw him, he just smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Zhao is also here?" ”

Zhao Gao sighed: "I don't know what news Lord Wu has?" He knew that this Lord Wu was from Wang Xuemen, and the surname Xu was the same party, I couldn't say, what was the exact news, this kind of thing, the news was the most important, and it was related to his net worth.

"This official has just arrived, what news can there be, but I just heard from Lord Zhou that the officials seem to have received a letter from Yang Gong on duty in the palace."

Zhao Gao snorted the god of jīng: "Exactly?" ”

"This week, my lord listened to Lord Chen from the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

"......" Zhao Gao was speechless, these news, turning around, he listened to him, he listened to him again, God knows, the news is correct or not.

At this time, someone said: "Lord Xu is here, Lord Xu is here......"
