Chapter 2: Escape from the Palace
Jinluan Palace, the atmosphere is vigorous and majestic, Xiang Shi stood on the steps and looked down on everyone, Feng Yi first appeared, but he couldn't hide the worry in his eyes.
Since ancient times, there has never been a good end for those who seek the throne of the dynasty, not to mention that although she Xiang has won the throne from Zhao Xu, there are still many loyal ministers in the Great Song Dynasty who have not expressed their position, and her son, the selected emperor Zhao Ji, may not be able to sit firmly.
"Lord Cai, what should we do now? This queen has always been a little worried about God Hou Zhuge Zhengme, he is a diehard loyalist of the Empress Dowager Gao, and he has 800,000 forbidden troops in his hands, in case ......"
Cai Jing naturally understood Xiang's mood, and interrupted before she finished speaking, "Don't worry about Xiang, although Zhuge Zheng and I are loyal to the Empress Dowager Gao, I am even more loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, and he won't want war." Moreover, the facts have been decided, even if he wants to oppose it, it is impossible, and as long as the Great Song Clan agrees to approve, then the matter will end here. "Having said that, it's just that Cai Jing sneered in his heart, Zhuge Zheng and I are not only the chief head of the 800,000 forbidden army, but also the chief head of the six gates, how could he not know about your conspiracy, if it wasn't for a future plot, I'm afraid I would have arrested you a long time ago.
Xiang didn't blame Cai Jing for interrupting her, on the contrary, he put down a lot of heart. At this time, Gao Yu stepped forward and said, "Backwards, although Emperor Zhao Xu is dead, we have also successfully put Zhao Ji on the throne." But there are also Empress Dowager Huang and the eldest princess who ran out, they know the truth, and we must not guard against it. In case they find Zhuge Shenhou, or the former prime minister Sima Guang, I am afraid that our hard work will be in vain. ”
Xiang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't take the outlaw Empress Dowager Huang and Zhao Jiyue to heart, but when he heard Gao Yu's words, his heart trembled, you must know that the Great Song Dynasty is not only Zhao Ji.
Although Xiang Shi was a little panicked when he heard this, he quickly returned to normal. She opened her mouth and said, "Master Cai, what do you think?" She believed in Cai Jing even more when it came to making suggestions and playing with conspiracy.
Cai Jing smiled, and he said deliberately, "What Senior Brother Gao said is also good, it is to take precautions." But don't worry too much, it's difficult for women to become big things after all. Even if the truth is exposed in the end, for the sake of the overall situation, Zhuge is correct. Sima Guang and other loyal ministers could only bear it. But it's not good to let them wander like this, and it's only right to look for a way behind you. ”
Of course, Xiang understands that the Great Song Dynasty needs to be stabilized, and sometimes there will be sacrifices, and the truth is often one of them. As for secretly searching for what is more in her heart, after all, only the dead will keep it secret. "Lord Cai really knows what he thinks, but Empress Dowager Huang will naturally hide when she leaves the palace as long as she is not stupid, how should I find it, what good is there for Lord Cai. ”
Cai Jing's eyes turned to Gao Yu. He said, "I think Junior Brother Gao should have thought about this a long time ago, right?" Xiang immediately looked at Gao Yu, as if he was looking forward to it.
Gao Yu also thought about it, he was too young. And the Gao family, who is far away in Dali, can't take too much care of themselves, and in the heart of the Xiang family, their status is definitely not as good as Cai Jing. So he put himself in the right position, but in order to prove himself. He also said quickly, "The minister is bold, and the minister thinks that the Empress Dowager Huang and the princess are both women." Growing up in the deep palace, we are definitely not familiar with the outside world, so we have to guard against the Empress Dowager Huang's brother Imperial Doctor Huang. According to the ministers, there are two ways for them to go without surgery, one is to stay incognito and be safe and comfortable from now on, and the other is to find the gods or some ministers loyal to the Great Song Dynasty and ask them to uphold justice. In Xiao Chen's opinion, the possibility of choosing the first article is very low, so it can only be the second one. Then as long as we send someone to monitor the Shenhou Mansion or the mansions of other ministers, we will be able to wait for them to be arrested automatically. ”
Cai Jing nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, if he didn't know the truth, he was afraid that he would think like this, but Cai Jing would not tell the Xiang clan about the so-called truth. So he preemptively said, "Well, that's good. ”
Seeing that everyone agreed, Xiang Shi of course said happily, "Okay, that's it." General Gao, you still need to do this thing, you must do your best to find them. ”
Gao Yi received the order, Cai Jing looked at their conspiracy, and was very disdainful in his heart, if he really followed your method, he was afraid that he would not want to catch people in this life. Is this coup really everyone stupid, it is better to lock down the city and search for it generously.
On the other side, Imperial Physician Huang led Empress Dowager Huang and Zhao Jiyue, followed by Huang Sheng and Zhu Tian out of the secret passage, and the dazzling bright light made people can't help but be dizzy. However, after leaving the secret passage, they realized that there were people waiting for them here.
Imperial Physician Huang recognized this mysterious person at a glance, who was the benefactor who reported to him, so he naturally said, "Benefactor, why are you here, could it be that you came to meet us?"
The mysterious person is Ming Chen, the loyal guard beside the Empress Dowager Gao, I saw him wearing a hat to cover it, hiding in the black veil, and I was relieved to see the Empress Dowager Huang and Princess Zhao Jiyue arrive safely. Hearing Imperial Physician Huang's question, he said calmly, "Since the person has been rescued, then my task has also been completed, and you can take care of the future affairs of Imperial Physician Huang." And if you want to leave, the carriage will be given to you. ”
Empress Dowager Huang watched the man in black take a long time, and the person left directly, without even having a chance to ask, and couldn't help but be a little suspicious. "Brother, who do you think he will send to save us?"
Imperial Physician Huang faintly guessed that it was nothing more than Zhuge Zhengme, Sima Guang, Su Shi and other people in the know, but since this was the case, why did he cover his face. Maybe it's for fear of revealing his identity in advance and attracting the attention of the Xiang clan's forces.
Huang Shang stepped forward, he quietly watched the man in black leave, and asked, "Father, let's go." Imperial Physician Huang glanced back at the secret passage that closed automatically, nodded and said, "Hmm." ”
Doctor Huang didn't say a word, they walked to the side of the carriage, only to see that there were some packages on it, and when they opened it, they realized that they were ordinary clothes and silver tickets. Imperial Physician Huang couldn't help but feel the carefulness of the life-saving benefactor, so he asked everyone to change into the clothes prepared by Ming Chen, and burned the original ones.
After finishing the first qiē and getting into the carriage, Empress Dowager Huang asked, "Big brother, where is this place, and where should we go?" ”
Empress Dowager Huang couldn't help frowning slightly when she heard this, although she stayed in the deep palace, she was not a talented woman, otherwise she would not have become the queen mother. "Big brother, you're wrong, why are you going to Dali Kingdom? Shouldn't you go to the Shenhou Mansion to ask Lord Zhuge to uphold justice?"
Imperial Physician Huang explained, "Queen Mother, you don't know, Zhuge Shenhou is actually not in Beijing, otherwise the Xiang clan would not dare to rebel." What's more, now that we go to the Shenhou Mansion, we are just throwing ourselves into a net. ”
Empress Dowager Huang's eyes were gloomy, how could she not figure it out. Except for the Zhuge Shenhou who was often summoned by the Empress Dowager Gao during her lifetime, she didn't know any ministers, after all, women in the Great Song Dynasty could not participate in politics.
