After the Spring Festival break, the capital will resume its usual bustle. Businessmen returning home rushed back to open their doors for business, and officials in Beijing began to prepare for the first early morning court of the New Year.In the middle of the snowy night, the officials got out of the warm blankets amidst the calls of servants. No one dared to delay for a moment for fear that they would be laughed at by their colleagues if they missed the morning court.The ministers changed into cotton clothes at home, put on official uniforms, put on capes, sat on their proud sons, and were carried by family bearers towards the direction of the imperial city. As usual, today the emperor will reduce or exempt poor areas for the next year according to the memorial reported by the Ministry of Households last year. In order to ensure the prosperity of the country and the people this year, the weather will be smooth and the weather will be smooth.This is an important event every year, and none of the ministers dare to neglect it, let alone try to make a good fortune in the new year.A lot of ministers gathered outside the city gate, surrounded by twos and threes, and the deep or shallow footprints stepped on the gate of the city seemed a bit messy...

I heard that something happened to the emperor. During the rest period, it seems that the prince forced the palace?Otherwise, why are all the soldiers in the capital sent by the prince, and some people have seen that the leader of the forbidden army often goes in and out with the prince recently, and heard that the prince has not returned to Yongwang's mansion recently, but is staying overnight in the palace... I am afraid that they will wait for today's edict to civil and military affairs Baiguan.The ministers entered the palace one after another in theory, the ministers who had not heard the news were very surprised, and hurriedly asked those well-informed adults, for fear that something big happened in the court and they were still kept in the dark.Later, the minister who followed hurriedly asked the colleagues around him with a blank expression: I heard that the prince rebelled and detained the emperor in the palace. Now the guards of the whole city are in the hands of the prince. Zhaoguo is about to change!The rumor spread farther and farther. Originally, it was just three or two whispers, but after a while it was all about King Yong's expression changed. None of the four ministers in the lead made the ministers even more flustered. This time the court is not going to punish the ministers... Clear Alien party... right?When they arrived at the main hall, the ministers were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. The long silence at first suddenly became agitated. The four ministers, Prime Minister Zuo, Prime Minister Right, Duke Hu Guo and Tai Tuo entered the hall and were surprised to see their colleagues filled with righteous indignation. Could it be that the news of the emperor's disappearance leaked out?The four of them looked at each other in dismay, thinking that the countermeasures just discussed last night were all useless at this time?Lord Hubu grabbed Prime Minister Zuo's hand and said with tears in his eyes, "Prime Minister, Your Majesty... the prince, he actually..." Lord Hubu was so moved that he was speechless and came to convince the four people that the news had leaked up!Prime Minister Zuo looked embarrassed, sighed and said: "Since everyone knows, what are you doing in a daze? Let's go back to each house, so as not to cause trouble here, and wait for the prince to dispatch." When the ministers heard that it was indeed the prince's rebellion, they said angrily: " Since the prince rebelled, why did the left and right ministers still support the prince and wait for his dispatch! King Yong is treasonous! Lord Protector, Prince Taifu, have you also turned against King Yong—?"

The four of them were even more confused at this time, why did they become princes rebelling?Prime Minister Zuo hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Wrong - wrong, wrong! It's not what you think, alas, the emperor is seriously ill and went to the palace to recuperate, and King Yong will supervise the country for the time being." It's good that Prime Minister Zuo didn't explain, this opening On the contrary, the ministers confirmed the crime of King Yong, but it sounded good, isn't it the same in essence? How could the emperor suddenly get seriously ill at such a young age, and there was no warning before. Are the ministers fools?I don’t know who yelled, and the veterans who were usually high above were punched one after another. How could they have been so angry? Prime Minister Zuo was so angry that he shouted: “It’s a disgrace!” At this time, the leader of the forbidden army led the guards into the hall With an order, the well-trained imperial guards separated the wrestling ministers.Lin Xuan stepped into the hall without looking sideways. Everyone present watched with bated breath as the jade-faced handsome man in the yellow python robe walked step by step to the steps of the throne in front of the hall. The brilliance on his body makes people can't help but want to follow.His cold voice penetrated every corner of the hall like the moonlight in winter, "You ministers are very wonderful today. Since the ancestors founded Zhaoguo, it should be the first time that the ministers have made such a shocking move in the Qiankun Hall. It must be recorded in the annals of history for future generations to look up to." The ministers, like unsheathed swords, pushed and shoved for a long time like deflated balls, but the poor Mr. Hubu was pushed to the wind, and the new Hubu Minister Lu Lin was in her early 45s and worked steadily and capablely. He first saluted the prince cautiously and said: "My lord, it's really not that the ministers gathered to make trouble, but everyone cares about the emperor... This morning, as usual... But Prime Minister Zuo and the three old ministers said... Your Majesty The dragon is not in good shape—"

"They are right. During the period when the emperor's brother is in poor health, this king will take care of everything. Here is the emperor's imperial decree-this king allows you to have objections before, and it is for your loyal protection... If you read this The imperial decree is still entangled...then don’t blame me for suspecting that you have ulterior motives and schemes.” Lin Xuan’s words reverberated in the hall so that the ministers dared not speak for a long time. I didn’t expect the prince to be categorical and ruthless.

"If King Yong plots something wrong, what should he do?"

As soon as this remark was made, eyes shot from everywhere like arrows, it was the adults of Yushitai who dared to say it, and the ministers all sweated for Yushitai's current censor Mingzhi.

"My lord Ming, you are an old minister, why are you making a fuss like this?" Duke Hu rubbed his beard and frowned, and said with good intentions, "King Yong is the current emperor's brother, and he would never do such an inhumane thing. "

"It's a pity that what you say, Duke Protector, doesn't count. The ministers must ask King Yong to give an explanation. We won't leave if we don't see the Holy One today! Even if we die, we must see the Holy One!" Ming Zhi gritted his teeth, his back It is straight as if it is a pillar in the hall.The Lord Protector looked at him with a look of resentment. Just about to speak, he saw Lin Xuan stretching out his hand to stop the hall from falling into silence again. King Yong's voice was very nice, like jade wine that was imported, but it had a strong aftertaste, "Brother Huang has already driven away If Lord Ming insists on seeing the emperor, the king will send someone to take you to the palace to take care of him. The emperor's hand orders this king to supervise the administration. If other people are as capricious as Lord Ming, is it even the emperor and the king? Don't you believe it? The emperor's sudden illness has caught the empress dowager and the king by surprise. Shouldn't the ministers eat the king's salary for the king? If you have the energy to worry about the king's conspiracy, you can rest assured 120 times. I don’t want it, even if you beg me to sit down, Lin Xuan won’t come. I don’t know... what are you ministers worried about? Let me put what I said here. If you are fine, I will retire today! "

"Master Ming, what should we do?" A group of ministers stared at Ming Zhi.

"This... oh...!" Ming Zhi slapped his thigh in frustration, "It's gone!"

Prime Minister Zuo quietly glanced at Ji Muzhi and whispered: "...I hope...in the end, I don't really have to ask King Yong to succeed..." Then he shook his head and sighed, the days are always changing, and he doesn't know who he is attached to.After such a turmoil, no one said that King Yong forced the palace to rebel, and all the ministers obediently went to the government office to handle business.

As soon as his heart was stabilized, Lin Xuan was busy sitting in the main hall processing the memorials sent by the various governments. Even if Prime Minister Zuo brought people to help and review the memorials, it would take three or four hours for Lin Xuan to read the memorials. He sent out to look for Lin Jin. There are more and more guards, Lin Xuan is anxious and helpless, he can only comfort himself that no news is the best news.Abducting Emperor Zhaoguo with ulterior motives must negotiating a good condition. He was thinking about the memorial in his head because the excessive force on his hand could clearly see the traces. Lin Xuanmu put down his pen expressionlessly and called: "Chang'an——Chang'an." It's not like usual An didn't respond in time, and the father-in-law who hurried in had a panicked look on his face, "Go back to your lord, Eunuch Chang An just walked away, what do you want?"

Lin Xuan was waving his sleeves irritably, "It's okay to go on." At this time, Chang An ran into the hall anxiously, Lin Xuan pursed his lips and frowned, his angular face, which had been gloomy recently, had a kind of gloomy beauty.Chang Anfu shouted: "No, something big happened to the prince!" Lin Xuan just picked up the memorial and threw it aside in disapproval and laughed at himself: "What big things can happen in this palace?" The emperor was taken away and the queen disappeared. There was chaos inside and outside the palace, and Lin Xuan couldn't think of any major events.Seeing Lin Xuan's wry smile, Chang An knew that he must not have thought of the seriousness of the matter, and said anxiously: "The empress dowager sent the imperial army to the palace to arrest the concubine. .”

"What?!" Lin Xuan could hardly connect what Chang An said, why did the imperial grandmother arrest Yue Jun?He quickly walked down to the front of the hall and grabbed Chang An's front collar and growled, "What did you say?!"

After a while, Lin Xuan walked quickly on the path in the palace, already panicked, and kept muttering: "Calm down, Lin Xuan must be calm, calm down." After taking a few steps, he ran away and ran straight to An Shou Palace.Pushing open the gate of Anshou Palace, the Empress Dowager was sitting upright on the main hall, as if she had expected Lin Xuan to come. He hurriedly ran to the Empress Dowager out of breath and asked out of breath, "The Emperor?" Grandma, did you bring Yuejun into the palace?" In Lin Xuan's heart, the imperial grandmother has always been kind and dignified, even if she brought Yuejun into the palace, it was just to let him take her away.

"Well, yes." The Empress Dowager pursed her lips, looked at her grandson running in front of her with disheveled clothes, and said in surprise, "Where's your boot, Xuan'er?" Lin Xuan lowered his head and realized that he had lost his boot on his left foot. He took the Empress Dowager's hand and said: "Grandmother, call Yue Jun out and grandson take her back."

The Empress Dowager rubbed the corner of her clothes and said solemnly: "This is not acceptable."

"Why?" Lin Xuan couldn't believe it. "Could it be true that...the emperor's grandmother wants to use Yue Jun as a sacrifice? How could you treat me so cruelly? Who is the divination? I must kill him!"

"It is said in the hexagram that she can be exchanged for your elder brother, so King Yong is not willing?" The Empress Dowager looked firmly into Lin Xuan's eyes without any intention of compromise.
