Through the years of Liang Zhu

Chapter 65 Into the Palace Face Saint

After Wang Caozhi yelled loudly, there was no more movement behind him. I was so anxious that I couldn't calm down anymore. I was thinking whether to go out and rush out to meet Xie An and Wang Caozhi. At that time, finally outside the door There is movement.

"Half of the people stay here to protect Da Sima, and half of them come with me! Ma Tong, and the other half of Ma Jiajun will follow me." Suddenly Ma Cai's voice came from outside the door.No need to think about Wang Caozhi's figure coming out, he was also detained, and the emperor's handbook didn't work, Ma Cai and the others were about to start action.

No more hesitation, after putting on the mask, I turned around and jumped out of the window opposite the wing. There was a pond under the window. Fortunately, the water was not very deep, so I had no time to worry about my drenched clothes. I hurriedly chased after Ma Cai’s team run.

"Xie Xuan, where are you running! Stop for me!" I just climbed out of the pond, and before running a few steps, I bumped into a young man who happened to come out of a room on the other side of the pond, and shouted at me from a distance. road.I stared blankly, making sure that I really didn't know this person, so I ignored him and continued to run towards the road in the front yard.

"Xie Xuan! At the wedding banquet, my sister wanted to run away, stop!" I saw him chasing after me and blocking me, looking like he was burning with anger and wanting to eat people.Seeing that Ma Cai's troops in the distance had turned around the garden and retreated towards the compound, and they were about to leave the gate of the General's Mansion, and seeing the person in front of me who was tightly pulling my sleeve, I couldn't help but feel annoyed. kicked him into the pond.

"Xie, Xie Xuan, you, you wait for me!" I didn't have time to think that this person was the elder brother who wanted to stand up for Huanrou, but I only knew that at least this pond would not drown anyone, and the voice of resentment from the person behind him, I have chased into the compound.

In the compound of the General's Mansion, some of the invited officials gathered together to discuss countermeasures, some walked around in a hurry, and some remained calm and continued to drink and feast.The horse didn't even look at the people in the courtyard, and when the soldiers who rode on the horse and led the horse to reunite were about to leave the gate of the general's mansion, I couldn't help shouting: "General Ma, wait!"

While speaking, I was surrounded by soldiers and generals. I didn’t care about these things. I looked at Ma Cai with pleading eyes: “Take me there, I want to share the troubles with you, can you? Don’t tell me to wait for you here If so, I don't want to wait!"

Ma Cai showed some hesitation on his face, raised and lowered the spear he was clenched in his hand, and finally turned the horse's head around with a wave of his hand and walked back.He stretched out his hand, sat on the horse and looked at me with a smile, "Okay, let's go together!"

Immediately, he was still wearing a bright red groom's official attire, with a faint halo sprinkled on his handsome face, which unexpectedly had a special charm.The moment I stretched out my hand and was pulled onto the horse by him, I thought in my heart, since he respected my heart, I just admitted it a little bit. In fact, he looks very good in this red and gold-rimmed groom's outfit. Let's put this matter aside for now.

As for the fact that everyone present could see with their own eyes 'Xie Xuan' who just robbed General Ma's bride, why did he get on the bridegroom's horse all of a sudden, and the two of them were still in such a...ambiguous situation, the audience was silent I don't know if the reason was that they messed up again on the spot or they were shocked. Anyway, Xie Xuan will clean up the mess in the future. Naturally, he can't be idle if we take on such a dangerous job.

Riding a horse and galloping across the Royal Street of the Imperial City, the cold wind blew across my cheeks. I couldn't help shivering, and I couldn't help shrinking into the horse's arms. It was the beginning of winter, and my fear of cold seemed to be getting worse. It's getting more serious.

"Ah Yun, why are you all wet?" Ma Cai pulled out an arm and grabbed me behind me vigorously, asking in question.

"I accidentally fell into the pond just now." I couldn't help touching my nose and replied with a guilty conscience.

"Ah Yun, I left you for a short while, and you... fell into the water?" Ma Cai rubbed against me again, with a helpless tone.

I said hey and didn't talk anymore, why do I always feel like he is despising me.No more gossip.Ma Cai is the leader of the army appointed by the emperor, and he has placed his own people in the imperial city, so it is effortless to enter the imperial city.In just half a cup of tea, we have already arrived in the palace, and the people in the palace are very respectful to Ma Cai. I can't figure out why the emperor can trust Ma Cai so much, even if he becomes Huan Wen's son-in-law, even if he He brought troops into the palace, but the emperor still didn't take any precautions against him.

It seems that everything has been arranged long ago. After I took off my mask and took out the military seal of General Zhenglu, I followed the horse into the emperor's bedroom with the identity of this little third-rank general. , and no one stopped him.It's just that at that time I firmly believed that Ma Cai had already arranged everything, and that Huan Wen's act of stealing the country would not succeed!

But outside the palace bedroom, when the cronies around the emperor let us in, I could still feel his hesitation, but after hesitating for a moment, he still held my hand tightly and knelt down in front of the emperor's bed.

In the past, I always imagined the majesty of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors in my impression, standing above all the people, governing the world, controlling the six levels, ruling all directions, and ruling the world!All the ministers pay homage, when they go out, they will ride horses, and when they enter, they will greet the great emperor of Bainuo!But the appearance of the emperor in my immediate impression is not the same as what I imagined. The emperor's bedroom is very empty. Although the area is large, it is very ordinary. The framed treasures of calligraphy and painting and the finely carved dragons and phoenixes on the surrounding wooden pillars can show his uniqueness.I actually don't want to admit that this place is not much more luxurious than Wang Yunzhi's Zhuyi Courtyard in Kuaiji Wangfu, and it feels more lonely and empty.

The queen standing far away is a beautiful woman, and one can tell at a glance that she belongs to the gentle, graceful, virtuous and dignified type. He is surrounded by a young man who looks less than ten years old. I guess he It should be the existence of the prince or something.When the emperor's cronies led us into the palace just now, the emperor was leaning gently on the bed and telling them to stay away for a while.

The emperor lying on the bed was only wearing a white undershirt, his face was haggard, his eye sockets were dark and sunken, his lips were white and chapped, it gave people a feeling of dying.Wang Caozhi said that the emperor was seriously ill, and it was true. If no one told me, I would definitely not think of the dying person in front of me as the emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom. Desolate and sad.

When he saw the two of us coming in, his eyes just burst into light. I knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise my head. I couldn't see any movement of him. With a very hoarse voice: "General Ma, Prime Minister Xie really didn't come?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Prime Minister Xie is safe and sound in the General's Mansion. I have arranged for General Yin and General Yu to transfer troops to Beijing, and the General's Mansion has also arranged troops. As long as His Majesty's imperial decree is issued, it will be fine..." Ma Cai replied calmly .

As if he didn't want to hear this at all, Ma Cai was interrupted by the emperor before he could finish speaking. "This is the will that I have already drawn up. Since Prime Minister Xie is not here, it is the same for you to help me proclaim the world." A close friend stepped forward and handed over a piece of ink-stained paper covered with a jade seal, and placed it in front of Ma Cai.

"Your Majesty! This is absolutely impossible! Please take your Majesty's order back and think twice!" Ma Cai was shocked when he saw it, and looked at the emperor to persuade him.I glanced sideways, only glanced at a few lines, but opened my eyes unconsciously!What was written on the paper was to let Da Sima be the regent according to Duke Zhou's precedent!Those with young children can be assisted, if not, you can take it yourself!

There was a sudden jump in my heart, and my mind was blank for a moment. I didn't hear clearly what the emperor and Ma Cai said next, and I was still shocked by the emperor's decision in my mind.Is the emperor sick and confused?This, isn't this clearly about giving up the country!This is no different from giving up the throne directly to Huan Wen!Didn't Xie Xuan say that the emperor has been cultivating forces in the court that can fight against Huan Wen for the past two years?How could he give way so simply at this moment!

"General Ma, didn't you always want to make contributions and make a fortune, so that your Hangzhou Ma family can be ranked among the first-class gentry? Today is your day of great joy. Didn't this move just follow your wish?" The emperor seemed to be forced Supporting his body, he sighed softly, "What's more, Jin Shitianxia was originally obtained by luck. I know that the imperial guards in the palace have been replaced. You don't have to force the palace, and you can save innocent soldiers from sacrificing. What are you dissatisfied with?"

As soon as the emperor said this, the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, and the horse on the side stared at the tightly held will and did not say a word, so my heart naturally tightened.Did the emperor intend to abdicate a long time ago?Knowing that Ma is the undercover agent sent by Huan Wen, still want to use him?What the hell is going on!

When I was struggling to understand what the emperor was thinking, suddenly I saw the horse next to me tightly holding the last edict in his hand, and suddenly became furious, so I watched the emperor's face "swish, swish, swish" a few times, and stamped the imperial edict with the jade seal Torn to pieces!He also taught the emperor while tearing it up and said: "The Jin family and the world were built by Emperor Xuan and Emperor Yuan. How can you let your Majesty do it arbitrarily! How can you be so confused, Your Majesty, how can you be worthy of the ancestors who shed blood and sweat to create the Jin Kingdom! How right! The sons and daughters of the state of Jin who fought and died innocently for the territory of the Baojin clan!"

His whole body is strong, and his voice is resonant!

Looking at the imperial edict that was torn into pieces by Ma Cai angrily, I felt completely messed up.Seeing Ma Cai, who was kneeling on the ground with his back straight as a pine, and audaciously reprimanded the emperor, the words that flashed into my mind at that time were: Brother Cai, you are so handsome!

"...Your Majesty, please revise the will, pass on the throne to the third prince, and withdraw Huan Wen's military power! I will do my best to protect the third prince from ascending the throne and defend Sima Jiangshan!" The tone was firm, almost persuasive.

But at the next moment, my heart was in Ma Cai and the emperor's silent gaze, and I was almost frightened to death. I was really afraid that the next moment the emperor would order this daring guy to be dragged out and divided into five horses, and the nine clans would be exterminated.At that time, I really didn't think about it. At this time, the emperor had no real power, and the military power was actually in the hands of Ma Cai. Later, when I recalled this moment, I think I was really stimulated by him to shorten my life!

"Hahaha! General Ma, you are really a good son-in-law of Huan Wen!" After a moment of silence, the sound of the emperor leaning on the bed and laughing suddenly came from above his head. It was hard to tell whether the tone was sarcasm or praise, but the voice Although it was hoarse, it inexplicably gave people an invisible pressure, and my heart once again raised my throat.

But in such a critical situation, another question suddenly popped up in my heart inexplicably: Your Majesty, aren't you going to be seriously ill and dying?Why are you so energetic all of a sudden?
