Seeing that all the civil and military officials were already in place, Liu Wei was about to raise his feet and step forward, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw a person turn out from the back of the hall.

The person who came was dressed in a grand court dress, wearing a red ribbon seal on his body, and a four-color silk with red and yellow cyanosis, and he was noble.

It was the eldest princess Liu Hua.

When Liu Wei and the others were young, they were all controlled by this eldest sister, so they had a subconscious fear of her.

Liu Hua's phoenix eyes were not angry and arrogant, and swept around sharply, "Li Ying, a scholar of the Provincial University of Chuanzhongshu." ”

As soon as these words came out, Du Mi, who had always been with the old god, finally changed his face, didn't Li Ying follow the emperor's side.

When did he come back, he didn't even get any news.

However, the person who walked out behind was indeed Li Ying, but seeing that he looked tired and dusty, his eyes were exceptionally bright and bright.

He walked to the front of the stairs and stood still, then turned around and looked at the full hall of civil and martial arts and said loudly:

"Li Ying, a scholar of Zhongshu Province, was ordered by His Majesty to return to Beijing to pass on the edict."

Everyone was in an uproar, although no one really made a loud noise, but that invisible aura was very loud.

"Your Majesty has decreed that due to occasional illness, the return to Beijing will be postponed, and during this period, the government will be jointly controlled by Yuan Xu, Li Ying, Chen Fan, Wang Lang, Du Mi, and Chen Yu......"

This edict had been sent from the court song before the accident, so among the several ruling ministers, there was also the name of Du Mi.

"With the military power of the Beijing Division, the ruling Jinwu, the Admiral of the Nine Gates, Long Linwei, and the soldiers and horses of Gyeonggi Province, the eldest princess of Yang'an is temporarily in charge."

Liu Wei looked up in shock and looked at his sister in disbelief, why, the father would rather hand over power to his daughter than believe him, the eldest son.

Du Mi sneered, "I have received news that Your Majesty has suddenly become critically ill a few days ago, and it is impossible to issue an edict.

This is the queen's edict, intending to usurp the throne and deceive us. ”

At this time, as long as there are soldiers and horses in hand, what about an edict, I say it is fake, he is fake.

Li Ying looked back at him, "General Du, may I ask what evidence you have for slandering the emperor and framing the queen with red mouth and white teeth?" ”

"Credentials? If Your Majesty still has a trace of sobriety, with his usual style, how can he need to block the news? ”

At this point, even if he is wrong, he can only be wrong to the end.

"I just came from Chaoge, this is the edict issued by His Majesty himself, how can you talk nonsense here and turn black and white upside down."

Li Ying's voice was like a bell, his eyes were full of disdain, and he had already seen through his clumsy excuses.

Seeing that most of the ministers in the court cast disdainful or angry glances, none of them were willing to stand with him.

At this moment, Du Mi suddenly felt that something was wrong, could he really be wrong?

It's just that once the rebellion starts, there is no turning back, no matter what, there is still a glimmer of hope for gritting your teeth and moving forward.

For a moment, his eyes turned red and flashed fiercely.

"Come on, Li Ying has forged an edict, and the sin is unforgivable!"

The armor warrior outside the hall entered in response to the call, and rushed over violently, and the eldest princess's phoenix eyes swept away, and her majesty was sharp.

The soldiers felt a chill on their bodies for no reason, and involuntarily stopped, looking at Du Mi with some hesitation.

was so angry that Liu Wei couldn't help but scold angrily: "It's really a useless thing, why don't you hurry up?" ”

Liu Hua sneered and took the edict in Li Ying's hand: "From now on, Gyeonggi Province will be temporarily controlled by this princess."

Du Mi was temporarily suspended and awaited His Majesty's departure. ”

"This is the queen's false edict, you don't have to pay attention to it, take Li Ying for me."

Since Cao Teng's retirement, the Gyeonggi Province soldiers and horses have been handed over to Du Mi, and after years of operation, he has many loyal subordinates in Gyeonggi Province.

So after a short hesitation, those armor soldiers were still ready to make a move, Liu Hua smiled mockingly, "Come on, take down this gang of rebellious ministers and thieves with me." ”

As soon as her words fell, a large number of soldiers in armor poured out from behind the main hall, all dressed in the uniform of Zhijingo.

It seems that Zhi Jinwu has complied with the edict and obeyed the orders of the eldest princess.

There are 1,500 people in Zhijinwu, and the forces in the imperial city have suddenly reversed, not to mention that they have an overwhelming advantage, at least they can be equal to him.

"Don't fall for the eldest princess, she's just a pawn for the queen."

When Liu Wei saw this scene, he couldn't help but start to get anxious.

"The eldest princess has His Majesty's edict, and we only obey the emperor's orders, and we don't recognize the rest."

Zhang Fu, the general of the Jin Wuwei, was not afraid, and seemed to be polite, but in fact he did not save any face.

"Zhou Fu, don't be obsessed, make mistakes again and again, I know that you are just deceived by others, and it is still too late to turn back.

Your Majesty is generous, and he will definitely be light. ”

The person who spoke was Wang Lang, who had never opened his mouth, and he had been friends with Du Mi for decades, so he couldn't bear to see him continue to make mistakes.

Although Du Mi was very good friends with him on weekdays, this time he supported the king of Qinghe, but he failed to convince this good friend to do something together.

Sighing slightly, Du Mi shook his head, "Whether it is right or wrong will come from being judged." ”

Wang Lang knew that he had a stubborn personality, and if he continued to persuade him, it would be useless to say more, so he could only sigh secretly and no longer dissuade him.

The two sides have come to this point, and they can only meet each other in arms, and there is no room for maneuver.

On the Chongde Palace, the armor soldiers on both sides raised their spears in their hands, and the situation was about to erupt......

In an unnamed town hundreds of miles away, a new day has been ushered in.

After a day and a night, so far, Liu Zhi has neither woken up nor deteriorated, and has remained in his original state.

At this time, there is no news, and it is already the best news.

It's just that His Majesty's breathing is still weak, and he is not out of danger, and he may turn sharp at any time, so the imperial doctors dare not slack off in the slightest.

I am afraid that something will happen because of my own negligence, and even if the queen does not condemn herself, she will not be able to live shamelessly.

Dou Yun was infused, replenished some physical strength, slept well, felt that his spirit had improved, and immediately ran to observe and inquire about the situation.

Zhang Zhi was on duty, and when he saw the teacher, he couldn't help but ask.

"Duke Dou, why has His Majesty's breath been weak, I feel that his surgical site is not inflamed, but it has not improved significantly, why?"

Dou Yun didn't answer, carefully checked Liu Zhi's whole body, sat next to him and thought about it, and then ordered:

"Let the Empress come in and accompany Your Majesty."

Zhang Zhi was taken aback and asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty is already in a critical condition, what if you are infected with bacteria because of this?" ”

Dou Yun shook his head, "Your Majesty's operation has long been over, and the reason why you can't wake up is unknown.

There are mysteries in the human brain, and the medical profession today has not been able to solve one ten-thousandth of them, and I have heard that some people are conscious in a coma, can hear the reactions of the outside world, but cannot wake up.

His Majesty is a man of great affection and righteousness, and it is unknown whether it may be useful to try to call upon his relatives. ”

These words made Zhang Zhi realize, and immediately nodded and left, and the queen has been sleeping for the past few days, waiting outside the operating room.

In just a few days, her dignified and noble face became haggard at a speed visible to the naked eye.

knew that Liu Zhi's condition was critical, but she couldn't even see her face, how could this kind of torment be borne by ordinary people.

At this time, I suddenly heard that I could go in to accompany my husband, and I immediately cried with joy, and hurriedly ordered someone to groom and dress myself, and put on a white robe that had been disinfected.

After a round of careful disinfection, it entered the room.

As soon as I entered, I saw Liu Zhi lying on his side with thick gauze wrapped around the back of his head, his face was calm, and his chest could still feel a slight rise and fall.

Fortunately, seeing him alive with his own eyes, Deng Meng suddenly felt that his empty heart had settled, walked over step by step, and slowly picked up his cold palm.

At this moment, her eyes were red, but it was easy to hold back desperately, and her voice was a little choked and called softly:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Can you hear me? ”

The queen, who has always been steady and self-controlled, suddenly took off her strong shell at this time, and was just a little woman who was worried about her husband.

"Your Majesty, there is one thing, if you don't say it at this time, I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to say it again in this life."

Deng Meng raised Liu Zhi's hand and put it on his cheek, regardless of whether he could hear it or not, and babbled to himself.

"Your Majesty knows that in the West Garden back then, I was ordered by Liang Ji to seduce Your Majesty, but who knew that I was trapped.

Later, the Liang thief ambushed me, and His Majesty wanted to send me home, and at that time I was really pierced by thousands of arrows.

My mother advised me that if I wanted to stay in the court, I must be absolutely in love, and I should not have a deep affection for His Majesty. ”

For so many years, Deng Meng has been conscientiously working hard to set up a harem for Liu Zhi, and it can be said that she is a very perfect queen.

But who knew that under the strong appearance, there was also a fragile heart, and even Dou Yun was slightly moved when he listened to it beside him.

"Your Majesty knows, I thought about it for three days and three nights, and finally decided to stay in the palace, just because I knew that if I left, I would never see him again.

So I'd rather pretend that I don't care about anything, don't pursue anything, and pretend that I'm not emotional......"

Deng Meng's tears finally couldn't help falling drop by drop.

"As long as I can be with you for the rest of my life, I don't care about the rest."

A warm tear fell on Liu Zhi's eyelashes, and Zhang Zhi, who had been observing Liu Zhi with a good eye, clearly saw his eyelids tremble slightly.

He took Liu Zhi's other hand in surprise and took his pulse intently.

"Teacher, Your Majesty's pulse has quickened, and it is a little more condensed than just now."

Hearing this, Dou Yun also hurriedly stepped forward to check, Liu Zhi's heartbeat did become more and more powerful, just as he lifted Liu Zhi's eyelids and looked for him.

The latter's eyes moved, Dou Yun hurriedly let go, but saw Liu Zhi slowly open his eyes.

When the scattered focus finally gathered, Liu Zhi saw Deng Meng's haggard and sad face in front of him, so he smiled at her.

Deng Meng watched all this blankly, and only then did he suddenly come back to his senses.

"Your Majesty, you've finally woken up......"

Liu Zhi blinked, wanted to speak but found that he couldn't open his mouth, so he could only look at her with his eyes.

Dou Yun and Zhang Zhi have been monitoring his blood pressure and heartbeat, and found that they have gradually stabilized, although it is not very strong, at least it means that His Majesty is temporarily out of danger.

It was only at this time that the two of them showed a relieved smile, and it seemed that this unprecedented craniotomy was really successful.

It's a perfect miracle.

Then they adjusted the treatment plan, and in the evening, Liu Zhi was removed from the operating room.

The news swept through the camp like the wind, and a lifeless Yulin army and the imperial guards suddenly became alive, and everyone was overjoyed.

Xun Shuang was even more overjoyed, and immediately ordered people to quickly send the good news back to Luoyang, the capital of Beijing, to stabilize the people's hearts.

At this time, they had already received the news of the mutiny of the Jingsheng students, and knew that Du Mi supported King Dai Qinghe and was ready to establish himself as the emperor.

It's just that Liu Zhi is just out of danger at this time, and he has undergone brain surgery, so he is really not suitable for commanding.

Therefore, after Deng Meng asked Dou Yun's opinion, he decided not to report the situation to His Majesty first.

But for such a big matter, Xun Shuang didn't dare to make his own opinions, so he could only discuss with the queen first.

"Since Du Mi is in trouble, he will definitely mobilize other horses in Gyeonggi Province.

The minister thought that in the name of His Majesty, he should hurry up and intercept the soldiers and horses in Hedong, Hexi, Fufeng, Hongnong and other places. ”

Deng Meng thought for a moment, then nodded, "This plan is very appropriate, you write an edict immediately, I will cover the jade seal, and I will bear any consequences." ”

The queen, who usually doesn't ask about political affairs, can't think of a critical moment but can make a decision on the spot.

"Yes, the minister also has a proposal, immediately announce to the world, Your Majesty has recovered from a serious illness, and the whole world will celebrate."

Deng Meng nodded, with Liu Zhi's current body, it is really not suitable for hurrying, if you want to affect the situation in the capital, you can only create momentum first, so as to increase psychological pressure on them.

"Okay, let's do it, you also write this edict."

The queen turned her head and sent the secret agents of Long Linwei over again, and ordered them to quickly spread the news everywhere, along the area of Jingshi, until the city.

After doing these two things, Deng Meng's mood suddenly relaxed a lot, she knew that as long as His Majesty was alive, no one could shake his status.

So at this time, the situation in the Jingshi is no longer among her worries, and the only thing she is worried about is the eldest princess Liu Hua, who has been suffering in her heart for the past few days.

Her father's life and death are uncertain, and she has to take on the heavy responsibility of stabilizing the situation in Beijing, which is really hard.

I only hope that the news can be transmitted as soon as possible, so that she can rest assured as soon as possible.

Liu Zhi and the others stayed in the town, seeing that it was almost Chinese New Year's Eve, and they were afraid that they would only spend the New Year halfway.

Liu Zhi's edict reached the capital as quickly as possible, but the situation in the capital at this time was not as chaotic as imagined.

It turned out that at the critical moment, after attending the funeral of the Queen Mother, Deng Yan, who had returned to Nanhai Gong on the way, immediately returned to the capital by boat as fast as possible after getting the news.

He didn't have many guards on the ship, but he had a prestige in the Han academic world that was incomparable to others.

Therefore, he ascended to the heights and called on the students of several Yucai schools and the four major government schools to temporarily arm themselves and participate in the protection of the capital.

The Han Dynasty is now at its peak in literary style, and there are more than 10,000 students in these schools, all of whom have practiced the six arts of gentlemen, but they are not the weak scholars of later generations.

All of them are agile, as long as they pick up weapons, they can get on their horses and fight.
