Placid Chang'an

The big men in Wuchiha were not easy to speak, but quick to do things. When Su Cen arrived at Danfeng Gate, the red face was already waiting in front of the gate in official uniform, and the bearded man was already pulling Zheng Yang. coming.I don't know if he didn't explain clearly or didn't explain at all, Zheng Yang was dragged with a helpless face, his eyes almost rolled up to the sky.

Seeing Su Cen and Zheng Yang's eyes brightened, "Brother Su, you were dragged here too? You said that I took a rest for a day, and my little uncle wouldn't let me rest. I even invited Zhang Hanlin to play chess in the afternoon... ...what's the matter with your clothes? They roughed you up?"

Turning his head to Wu Chiha and akimbo, "What's the matter with you? Do you know who this is? He robbed my membership at the beginning. I wanted to find someone to cover his head and beat him up, but my little uncle taught him a lesson. After a long time, if you want my little uncle to know that you made him like this, you probably have to go back to Mobei to herd sheep."

Su Cen: "..."

Wu Chiha was also anxious, waved his hands hastily, and stammered: "No... no, he himself... not me..."

Zheng Yang laughed, and said to Su Cen: "Don't look at them as scary, they are fun to play with."

Knowing that things couldn't be explained clearly in a few words, Su Cen didn't bother to explain, and said while putting on his official uniform: "I have something urgent to enter the palace, but with my status, I'm afraid I can't even enter the palace gate, so I have to rely on your help." I."

"What's the matter?" Zheng Yang frowned and glanced at Su Cen, seeing that the seriousness of the person really didn't look like a joke, so he nodded, "Let you see how to enter the palace the fastest."

When they walked to the palace gate, there were guards blocking them. They saw Zheng Yang and saluted respectfully. After Zheng Yang expressed his intention, he said that they needed to pass the news first, and they could only be let in after the emperor issued an order.

Zheng Yang narrowed his eyes and took a step forward: "Do you know who I am?"

The guard took a step back, wondering: "My lord, the younger one is also on duty, so I hope the lord will not embarrass the younger one."

"You're smart." Zheng Yang was unmoved, and pulled Su Cen forward again: "Then do you know who my father is?"

Guard: "..."

"Do you know who my mother is?"

Guard: "..."

"Do you know who my uncle is?"

Guard: "..."

"I know my aunt is..." Glancing at Su Cen, "Let's forget that first."

Guard: "........."

While speaking, the two guards had been forced into the door, Zheng Yang smiled at them, "Thank you very much."

Turning around, he dragged Su Cen into the palace swaggeringly.

"Hurry up?" Zheng Yang raised an eyebrow at Su Cen.

"Hurry up..." Su Cen nodded, "Then I met you here because of the Xinke Shizi case, why didn't you bring me in?"

It's fine if you don't bring him in, and let him go to Li Shi, and from then on, once you enter the Hou family, it's as deep as the sea.

"..." Zheng Yang looked up at the sky and cleared his throat, "That... the little emperor should be in the bedroom at this time, I will take you there..."

Passing through the Chongming Gate and entering the Neichao, Su Cen saw a person coming out from a distance, and when they got closer, the three of them stopped.

"Cui Hao?" Zheng Yang frowned, "What are you doing here?"

"What are you doing here again?" Cui Hao hugged the document in his arms tightly, fearing that the two of them would develop a pair of clairvoyant eyes to peep into the secret, and cast a cautious glance at Su Cen, "Why are you here?"

Zheng Yang narrowed his eyes and scanned the people from top to bottom, "Is there anything you can't say to the court, and you have to sneak over after the court, and you are thinking about doing something unconscionable?"

Cui Hao immediately turned back: "How dare you talk about me, don't tell me that you came here to chat with the emperor."

The two had disliked each other early in the morning because of their second place in the list, and later they fought fiercely for their own masters. Now that they meet each other on a narrow road, they must be free to talk again, and they have the meaning of a contest.

Su Cen frowned and tugged on Zheng Yang's sleeve, reminding him that business is important.

Zheng Yang begged to withdraw his troops: "Don't get in the way, the young master has something important to do."

Cui Hao curled his lips: "What can you do urgently?"

Su Cen sighed, bypassed the two and walked straight forward.

Zheng Yang glared at Cui Hao, and immediately followed.

Cui Hao was stunned for a moment. It seemed that these two people were indeed involved, so he followed along based on the principle of knowing himself and the enemy.

Zheng Yang frowned while walking, "Why are you following?"

"I remembered that I still have something to report, do you care about me?"

"Don't make trouble with me."

"It's your guilty conscience, right?"

The two quarreled all the way to the Zichen Palace, the eunuch on duty outside the door came to visit His Majesty, the Empress Dowager, they were afraid that they would have to wait for the Empress Dowager Chu to come out before they could meet the little emperor.

Zheng Yang's set of relationship strategies works well in front of the palace gate, but it won't work here. After all, these are eunuchs, not guards. Even if your ancestor is the Jade Emperor, their master is only the little emperor, so I'm not afraid of you complaining about wearing small shoes.

The mother and son could not tell when they would gossip, Su Cen naturally couldn't wait, gritted his teeth, and was about to force his way in, only to hear one person holding his throat and saying: "What are you arguing about here? What's the matter?"

An eunuch came out from the inside, glanced at everyone, saw Su Cen's eyes suddenly brightened, and smiled shyly, leaning forward, "Yo, Mr. Su, you're here, what's the matter?"

Su Cen was flattered for no reason, so he still said: "I have something urgent to meet with the saint, please pass it on to my father-in-law."

The eunuch hesitated for a moment, but still responded: "Lord Su, wait a moment, our family will report to His Majesty right away."

When someone went in, Su Cen looked at Zheng Yang and asked, "Does this person recognize me?"

Zheng Yang said: "Brother Su, you don't remember. This is the eunuch who was almost killed by my uncle at the court meeting that day. You saved him."

Su Cen frowned, and it took him a while to remember, "Didn't he be demoted to the internal servant bureau?"

Cui Hao taunted nonchalantly at the side: "I was called back after staying for two days. This kind of person can continue to show off his power as long as the holy family is still there."

While speaking, the eunuch had already returned, and he smiled triumphantly at Su Cen, "Master Su please, the emperor wants to see you."

No matter what the character of this person is, he helped him after all. Su Cen smiled gratefully, "Thank you."

After entering the hall, the little emperor was holding a bowl of sweet peach gum soup and was drinking vigorously, and the Empress Dowager Chu was still accompanying him.

Su Cen didn't make false claims, and after a simple salute, he said directly: "Xiao Yan, the king of Beiliang, colluded with the Turks and ambushed with heavy troops in the dense forest on the outskirts of the city. King Ning went to negotiate and fell into the enemy's camp. Please send troops to rescue immediately."

Everyone: "?!"

Xiao Tianzi choked on a mouthful of peach gum, and it took him a long time to remember to cough.

The eunuchs and maids at the side immediately surrounded them, and they patted and patted smoothly, and the scene was a mess.

The Empress Dowager Chu frowned, and her exquisite face showed a bit of sullenness: "Bold! Your Majesty's scaremongering words in front of you, disturbing the holy car, come!"

Su Cen took out the black jade in his bosom to pull out his fingers, and straightened his waist: "Everything I said is true, and there are prince's tokens to prove it."

Zheng Yang was stunned just now: "You mean my little uncle is in the hands of the rebels?!"

Seeing that the Queen Dowager Chu finally had a flustered look on her face, everyone knew that King Ning carried this finger on her body all the time, so something must have happened if it appeared here now.

The Empress Dowager Chu's long and slender knuckles hesitated for a moment, then stood up suddenly, and waved her long sleeves: "Quick! Call the imperial army quickly, enter the palace to escort, and seal the city gate!"

Everyone: "?!"

Su Cen jumped up: "What about the prince?!"

"Naturally, His Majesty's safety is important!" The Empress Dowager Chu stared at Su Cen with almond eyes.Immediately afterwards, she paced back and forth again, no matter how fiercely she fought with Li Shi in the court hall, after all, she was only a womanizer, and she had been flirting in this Chang'an city all her life, never had she ever faced such a situation.

After a while, he told the summoned eunuch at the door: "Call the commander of the imperial army to see him immediately... Liu Xiang, and Liu Xiang, call me Liu Yu!"

"The prince's safety cannot be disregarded!" Su Cen stepped forward, "The prince is the lifeblood of Da Zhou, if something happens to him, Da Zhou will be over!"

"Presumptuous!" The Empress Dowager Chu yelled angrily, her sharp voice piercing through the hall, "Your Majesty is the lifeline of the Great Zhou Dynasty! Come here, take down this traitorous minister!"

Su Cen no longer cared about the rules and etiquette. While waving away the two eunuchs who came up to suppress him, he retorted: "If something happens to the prince, who will restrain the vassals from all over the country? Who will suppress the changes at the border? Inside and outside the palace." Who will understand the raging dark tide? Who will protect your orphans and widowed mothers?! Your Majesty!"

The little emperor finally coughed out a mouthful of peach gum, waved his hands to make the two eunuchs retreat, and looked at the Empress Dowager Chu cautiously: "Mother, I think what he said is also reasonable."

Zheng Yang knelt down in a hurry: "I hope the queen mother thinks twice, the little uncle is the backbone of the country, nothing can happen!"

The Empress Dowager Chu's expression finally moved, she bit her lip and hesitated, "What does he want? The Ai family can send someone to negotiate."

The kindness of women!

Su Cen said coldly: "What if he wants the whole Longyou Dao?"

The Empress Dowager Chu immediately stood there, unable to move.Even if she is a woman, she also understands the importance of Longyou Dao. Losing Longyou is tantamount to losing the last barrier to protect the capital. In the future, Turks and Tibetans will be able to drive straight in without hindrance.

The Empress Dowager Chu took two steps back and sat down on the chair, "Aijia... Aijia wants to discuss with Liu Xiang, wait for Liu Xiang to come over...Where is Liu Zhen! Why haven't you come yet?!"

"It's too late." Su Cen looked at the little emperor, "Your Majesty, please issue an order immediately to send troops to reinforce King Ning."

"This..." The little emperor looked at the Empress Dowager Chu again: "Empress Mother, what should I do?"

The Empress Dowager Chu took a look at the hall, Su Cen's eyes were full of scarlet, Zheng Yang couldn't kneel down, and there was another person...he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

Empress Dowager Chu's eyes suddenly brightened, pointing at Cui Hao: "You, you are the one..."

Cui Hao immediately replied: "My servant, Cui Hao."

"The Ai family remembers you, you are from Xiang Liu, what do you say?"

Cui Hao quietly glanced at everyone present, and finally stopped on Zheng Yang, squinting meaningfully.

Zheng Yang's heart sank. It is well known that Cui Hao is at odds with him. If he wants to retaliate at this time, the consequences will be disastrous.He said anxiously: "Cui Hao, you..."

Before anyone could finish speaking, Cui Hao turned his eyes away and looked directly at the Empress Dowager Chu: "I believe that the overall situation should be the most important thing, and we should send troops to rescue King Ning."

The Empress Dowager Chu gave up her last thought, struggled in vain and said, "If something happens to Your Majesty..."

Su Cen knelt down: "I will protect His Majesty's safety, as long as I have breath, I will never let the rebels enter the city!"

Cui Hao knelt down and said in unison with Zheng Yang: "I will wait for death to protect His Majesty."

The Empress Dowager Chu propped her forehead and looked at the audience. This year's newly recruited first-class three people knelt together, and for the first time since enrolling in the imperial examination, they all said that the so-called pillars of the country were all facing the King Ning who wanted to usurp power.

He waved his hand and said to the little emperor: "You are the emperor, your uncle taught you to have your own opinions, you can make up your own mind."

The little emperor nodded, sat upright, and said solemnly: "The commander of the forbidden army, Xie Chun, should be ordered to rectify the forbidden army, and cooperate with Dali Temple to suppress Su Cen's army and reinforce King Ning."
