After wearing the book, he was favored by the villains in line

After going back and forth like this several times, the officials saw it, and knew that the empress was acting on purpose, but there was nothing they could do about it.

A courtier at the right back of Si Tianjian was the first to lose patience, and couldn't help but quietly rubbed his painful knee, and asked in a low voice:

"Master Jianzheng, Your Majesty does not want to offer sacrifices to the imperial mausoleum, but deliberately teases us. If this continues, we will have to kneel and die here. You should quickly think of a way!"

But anyone who dares to kneel here brazenly to force Ying Ze to force him, more or less, basically reaped the benefits and was instigated by others to make Ying Ze go to the imperial mausoleum.

Some do not know who is behind the scenes, but since Ying Ze came to power, in order to recuperate and restore national strength, there has been no national sacrifice for several years. That is, no one can find fault with anyone who comes, and with the benefits promised by the other party, naturally he readily agreed.

And Ying Ze's trick of letting people come to scour their property was something that they never thought of, so many people have already withdrawn from their hearts. If someone hadn't come to the door in time to bear the money given out, they would probably be dead by now. There won't be so many people kneeling here anymore.

But there are also those who know the inside story, some are Li Wang's nephews who have not been included in the list by Han Jiangxue before, and some of them just connected with Li Wang's cronies after Li Wang's rebellion and frequent wars.

And these people, either used to be Li Wang's old party, and seeing Li Wang's resurgence, they were able to suppress the rebels forcefully, in order to preserve their current official positions, or they hurriedly curry favor with Li Wang in order to get closer.

The others, on the other hand, were mostly not reused by Ying Ze, and they had a lot of gamblers. They wanted to take advantage of Li Wang's power to gamble on the success of the dragon.There are also many people who have both.

These people are actually like long grass on the wall, whichever way the wind blows, they will fall to that side. Now Li Wang has the upper hand, but if one day, the counter-rebel army gains the upper hand, then they may be more rebellious than anyone else quick.

Si Tianjian, who was kneeling at the front, is very aware of this, but he himself, as the person who proposed the national sacrificial plan, if King Li really got his hands in the imperial mausoleum, he can stand up and proclaim that the destiny is unified, and Ying Zede's position was not right, and he was condemned by his ancestors, so Li Wangfang was orthodox.

But if Ying Ze came back alive, the others might still be able to get away with it, but the head on his neck might not be able to keep.

However, the matter has come to this point, and there is no room for him to regret it.

When Ying Ze got dressed again, but the imperial physician once again sent someone to say that the queen had fainted, he bowed deeply, bowed his head towards Ying Ze and said:

"Your Majesty, please don't tease me like this anymore, don't miss the auspicious time, Your Majesty!"

With a face full of concern and anxiety, Ying Ze paused, slowly put away all the expressions on his face, turned to look at him with a half-smile and said:

"Missing the auspicious time? It is a great gift of the country. As the lord of the palace and the mother of the country, the empress must be present according to the ancestral system. Is it possible that the meaning of the supervisor is to let Gu now abolish the seriously ill in front of all the courtiers?" Empress? Absurd! The elder brother of the empress is still fighting for the country on the front line, going through life and death, and suppressing the rebels, but you just want to abandon your wife, the empress, because of the empress's illness and delay for a while?!"

The officials were so frightened that their waists bent even deeper, only the prison guard said bravely:

"Your Majesty is clearly aware! I have no such intentions, Your Majesty! I am just worried that if the auspicious time is missed, the ancestors will blame me..."

This is because he has not had an accident yet, and he has already begun to pave the way for his rhetoric after the accident.

Ying Ze saw it clearly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and was about to say something, Zheng Baisheng rushed to his side, and whispered a few words in his ear, to the effect that the Imperial Army had already sent people to investigate, and the vicinity of the Imperial Tomb was heavily guarded, and There is nothing unusual, and people have been sent to check roughly on the way to and from, and no suspicious person is found.

Nothing wrong?

Ying Ze frowned slightly, his eyes fell on the group of courtiers who were kneeling on the ground in front of him again, and a trace of suspicion flashed in his heart.

If it wasn't for an ambush, why did these people go to such great lengths to want him to go to the imperial tomb to sacrifice?Or maybe there are other calculations, what kind of tricks do you want to do in the sacrifice?

The kneeling courtiers were all startled and uncertain, and secretly observed Ying Ze's actions from the corner of their eyes. They saw him ponder for a moment, then called Zheng Baisheng close to him, and whispered a few words in his ear, but couldn't hear what he said, only saw Ying Ze Turning around impatiently, said coldly:

"The empress is now awake, fully prepared, ordered the imperial army to guard the lonely empress, and went to the imperial mausoleum to perform the national sacrificial ceremony."

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials below finally breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces showed joy. Only Si Tianjian, who was a little restless, took advantage of the gap before departure to hand over a secret letter. go out.

After someone outside the palace read the letter, he casually burned the note on the lamp beside him, and asked the people beside him:

"I've found out, after the emperor left, did the eunuch Zheng Baisheng do anything else?"

The man bowed his head and replied:

"Returning to the master, there are some actions. The emperor seems to have Zheng Baisheng send someone out of Beijing to send an urgent letter to the regent for help."

The corner of the man's lips hooked:

"I thought that after all these years, he could make some progress, but unexpectedly, he is still a kitten who only knows how to ask adults for help. Go, report to the city gate captain, and close the four city gates. Without my order, anyone will come They are not allowed to open the door.”

……

Ying Ze, who was still on the road at this time, didn't know that someone had already determined that something would happen to him, and had contacted the Chengmen Captain in advance to block his way back to Beijing, but even so, he still seemed worried.

Sitting opposite the carriage, Xiao Yunxiang looked at Ying Ze's face, hesitated for a moment, then leaned slightly, poured a cup of warm tea for Ying Ze, and said:

"My brother still left some manpower for me in Beijing. I have ordered them to go out of the city first and meet them at the imperial mausoleum. Although there are not many people, they can still be useful."

Although she is usually proud, she is not stupid, knowing that now is not the time to be distracted by the grievances between the two, otherwise she would not cooperate with Ying Ze to pretend to be sick.

Ying Ze took the teacup with deep eyes:

"It's not a matter of manpower."

Xiao Yunxiang bit his lip slightly, and wanted to ask what the question was, but seeing Ying Ze's face, he didn't ask.

Until the entire team of carriages and horses arrived at the imperial tomb, Ying Ze was on high alert for a long time, but he did not wait for any changes. When he got off the carriage, he slightly raised his eyes to look at the majestic imperial tomb in the distance, and his eyes were filled with darkness.

Since he was not on the way, he was waiting here for him.

Xiao Yunxiang turned his head to look at the man's side face, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a warm touch on his hand, and looked down, it was Ying Ze who took her hand with a natural expression, and walked forward, with a calm and calm tone :

"Follow me."
