Chapter 51: Crisis
On March 14th, the sky was clear and the wind was smooth, and it was a bright and sunny day.
As soon as the sky was slightly bright, Ye Tianhuai got up.
To her surprise, Qin Baozhu also woke up.
"Why did you wake up so early?" Ye Qianhuai asked.
Qin Baozhu's eyes were a little worried, and he said, "Your Majesty, today is the day they agreed to beat the drum in front of the palace. β
Ye Tianhuai nodded and said, "I know." β
She smiled comfortingly at Qin Baozhu: "I promise you, I will definitely make them all safe." β
"My brother is reckless, if he does something stupid, your majesty don't blame him." Qin Baozhu Road.
Although she has never had a good face for Qin Yang on weekdays, at this time, she is still most worried about him.
"Okay, don't worry." Ye said.
She still had a plan in her heart, but she didn't tell Qin Baozhu.
If it goes well this time, she wants to recruit Qin Yang into the palace and be a personal guard.
But today's events are too risky, so let's wait for everything to settle and surprise her.
After receiving Ye Qianhuai's assurance, Qin Baozhu's expression relaxed again, and said, "Then I will wait here for Your Majesty to come back." By the way, Your Majesty remembered to come to Yichun Palace at noon, Aunt Fanghua helped me get some ingredients, and I will make your favorite braised beef today. β
It can be seen that she has kept the matter of feeding Fat Ye in her heart.
---
Ye Tian was pregnant with a particularly short early dynasty, probably the shortest early dynasty since she became in power.
The ministers seemed to have made an appointment, and they all started without incident.
Ye Tianhuai was a little anxious in his heart.
The sound of the big drum outside the Chengtian Gate is very heavy, and if someone hits it, it can also be heard in the Taihe Palace.
In her previous assumptions, the best case scenario was that the time for the students to beat the drums coincided with the morning court, so she could ask the guards to bring the drummers to the temple. As long as the student can go to the hall to make a statement, she can take the opportunity to bring out the trial of Song Zhe instead of Wang Lisong, making it difficult for the three divisions to get rid of the crime.
So she forcibly found two topics to discuss.
However, half an hour later, there was really nothing to discuss in the court, but the drum outside the Chengtian Gate still did not sound.
Ye Qianhuai frowned.
Since a few days ago, she asked Li Baoquan to mobilize the guards of Chengtianmen to ensure that the guards of Chengtianmen during the day today are all from the left guard, lest the students be controlled by the right guard of the forbidden army before they get close to the drum.
However, now that the sun is getting higher, there is no movement outside the palace at all, and it is so quiet that she panics.
Ye Tianhuai sat in the splendid Taihe Palace, even if he looked far away, his eyes could not penetrate the heavy Chengtianmen and see the situation outside the palace.
But the situation outside the palace must be bad.
"Since no one is playing right, let's disperse. Chen Ge Lao, what do you say? Gu Shihai opened his mouth first, and his tone seemed not to be in the early dynasty, but in a cabinet meeting.
"Is there anything else Your Majesty would like to ask?" Chen Yuansi didn't look at Shi Hai, but asked Ye Tianhuai unhurriedly.
Ye Tianhuai really didn't have anything to ask, she thought about it, and was about to speak, but she heard Gu Shihai say first: "Your Majesty, why is you so idle to chat with our group of old men today?" Aren't you afraid of snubbing the beauties in the harem? β
He spoke harshly, but Ye Qianhuai didn't have the heart to think about it at the moment.
She thought in her heart, it was useless to stalemate like this, it was better to disperse and go to Jingshou Palace to bring the forbidden army of Zuo Yawei and go directly to Chengtianmen to see what was going on.
"It seems that Gu Ge Lao has something to do today, and he doesn't want to talk to me more." Ye Tianhuai said to him with a smile, "Then let's change the day." β
With that, she got up and walked briskly off the throne.
"RetreatβChaoβ" Li Baoquan's angry voice sounded behind Ye Qianhuai. Then there were the scattered cries of the courtiers "Long live Your Majesty".
Coming out of the Taihe Palace, Ye Tianhuai went straight to Jingshou Palace.
For some reason, she had a bad feeling in her heart.
She recalled her previous life, it was also a calm early dynasty, there was no drumming, there was no court argument, everything was a scene of prosperity and peace.
Ye Qianhuai's palms were sweating, could it be the same as the Spring Mansions list, the same as in his previous life?
Is she really like a pet in a cage, and her struggles are nothing more than useless work like a clown in the eyes of her enemies?
For a while, Ye Qianhuai's eyes seemed to see those students' hopeful eyes and faces turn into blooming blood under the knife and gun, becoming empty and desperate.
When Ye Tianhuai walked into Jingshou Palace, Li Baoquan finally followed.
"Is your person on duty at Chengtianmen today?" Ye Qianhuai asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, he is a person who can be trusted by the minion, and when he was just in the court, the minion also sent someone to inquire about the news."
"How?"
Li Baoquan didn't reply, Ye Tianhuai stood still, looked back at him, and saw that he shook his head at her, with some nervousness in his eyes.
"They haven't come back yet." Li Baoquan replied.
Her expression sank. Now, this is also expected by Ye Tianhuai.
At this moment, the sound of chaotic footsteps sounded outside Jingshou Palace, mixed with the rhythmic crisp sound of the scabbard hitting the armor.
It came so fast. Ye said in his heart.
Sure enough, Luo Zichang, the commander of the forbidden army, appeared at the door of Jingshou Palace with a team of men and horses.
Li Baoquan's left guard was guarding outside the palace gate, and when he saw Luo Zichang saluting first, he stretched out his hand to stop them, preventing them from getting close to Jingshou Palace for half a step.
The left guard and the right guard each confronted each other with their swords, and neither of them would retreat.
At this time, Luo Zichang glanced at Ye Tianhuai across the crowd.
He knelt down outside the door with the sword at his side, hung his head and said, "Your Majesty, there will be something important to tell you at the end." β
Ye Tianhuai looked at him for a long time and said, "Let him come in." β
When the guards outside the door heard this, they immediately got out of the way.
Luo Zichang stood up, gave two orders to the people around him, and only walked into Jingshou Palace with General Wuwei, the right guard next to him.
"Commander Luo is here, what is the matter?" Ye Tianhuai asked knowingly.
He clenched his fists and said: "Back to Your Majesty, there is a mob outside the Chengtian Gate, and thousands of people have gathered, and there has been a conflict with the gate guards. I also ask Your Majesty to give an order to let the forbidden army go out of the palace to suppress the rebellious people. β
Sure enough, it's the same rhetoric as in the previous life. It's just that this time, for some reason, he didn't bring He Qingchang, the secretary of the military department, so he only asked for the transfer of the forbidden army, and did not mention Gyeonggi Wei.
"Commander Luo, do you know why the rioters are rioting?" Ye Qianhuai asked.
Luo Zichang paused, and seemed a little embarrassed to speak.
"I'm asking you." Ye Qianhuai's voice was already cold.
Only then did Luo Zichang make up his mind and replied: "These chaotic people don't know where they heard something, or they were instigated by someone, saying that Your Majesty was confused by the demon concubine, ignored the government and government, and asked Your Majesty to kill Lan Guiren. β
