Chen Bao ignored life and death and glared at the enemies in the dark sea opposite him.
"Dong~dong~dong~"
The enemy marched slowly to the beat of drums and stopped when they reached eighty paces. The five hundred gunmen in the front row had already loaded their ammunition and their guns were forward.
However, the expected charge did not come, and a general in silver armor and red robes walked towards Qianqing Palace.
Chen Bao suddenly had a good impression of this person. The etiquette was ruined today. The rebels Yu Taibu regarded etiquette as nothing. They even brought the cavalry into the palace and ran horses wantonly in the palace. This person actually abides by etiquette and does not care about etiquette. If you dare to ride a horse, come on foot.
"I am Zhang Guoyong. Please don't shoot arrows. The queen has invited me to answer questions in front of Anbo's formation."
"The Queen is here?"
Chen Bao's eyes condensed, and the fierce look in his eyes became kinder. Queen Shi was generous and kind, and had high prestige among the old people of the Jingjiang Palace. When His Majesty launched an army in Guilin, Queen Shi, as the Princess of Jingjiang, not only donated All the jewelry, and they also organized palace workers to sew war robes for the soldiers. Chen Bao was lucky enough to receive a war robe sewn by Queen Shi herself.
Alas! What a scene from the past!
Chen Bao held the gleaming mace and walked forward slowly. Although the queen was nominally half of his master, as long as the emperor did not die, his master was only the emperor.
"What, do you want to fight with me when you come to Amber?"
Queen Stone was sitting on the Luan Yu. She was unparalleled in her elegance, not angry but mighty, with a trace of pain flashing between her brows.
Chen Bao felt sour in his heart. When he was young, he served as the captain of the Jingjiang Prince's Mansion, and his relationship with the emperor was very deep. The empress was very kind to her servants and generals, and she was also very kind to him, Chen Bao. That incident He still keeps the shirt.
"I am sorry that I am wearing armor and cannot salute." Chen Bao first complained to Queen Shi and then said loudly: "As the chief guard of the palace, it is my duty to protect the Holy Lord. What I want to do today is to die. .Please forgive me!”
Empress Shi shouted sharply: "Chen Bao, you are confused, presumptuous, and stupid! You are dead and have lost a good reputation for loyalty, but where will you leave me and the prince? Your Majesty is seriously ill and people are panicked. Therefore, I will give you talents." Let the prince supervise the country to calm the people. The purpose of sending troops to protect your majesty is also to prevent the young people from plotting chaos while the dragon body is in danger. Do you think that this is to harm your majesty?"
"This~"
Chen Bao was speechless for a moment, but the Queen's words did not seem to be false. She and the Holy Emperor had been married for decades, and they had a deep relationship. They would not be fooled into plotting to murder the Holy Emperor. Today's move was probably to prevent King Ji from causing trouble while the Holy Emperor was critically ill! But he himself As the chief bodyguard of the Holy Emperor, how can we let foreign soldiers into Qianqing Palace?
Thinking of this, he bowed his hands to Queen Shi and saluted: "I know your Majesty's affection for you. It's just that I am a bodyguard and have the responsibility to protect the dragon. If foreign soldiers want to enter Qianqing Palace, please step on my body." .
Empress Shi sighed and suddenly recalled his official position in the Jingjiang Palace, "Does Lieutenant Chen know that Yang Huai and Zhang Chengwu have handed over the military power of the palace and imperial city to Yan Xiaoyong and He Jiuyi; Fan Youxian and Yan Zungao are also asking Bai Wenxuan , Zhao Yinxuan handed over the military power of the capital; Li Yuanyin and Zhao Desheng have been appointed as the outer city guard governor and deputy governor? The handover was smooth everywhere, without any disturbances, only you here caused an earth-shattering commotion!"
Chen Bao was astonished. Fan Youxian, Yan Zungao, Yang Huai, Zhang Chengwu, and Li Yuanyin were all His Majesty's confidants. Why did they give up military power so quickly?
He smiled bitterly and said: "I can't control what others do. My duty is to guard your Majesty's safety. Please kill me first and then send troops to Qianqing Palace."
As soon as these words came out, the air was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Queen Shi didn't get angry, she just sat quietly, seeming to be thinking, and seemed to be sitting and resting.
Finally, Fengkou spit out something, which was actually a compliment, "Chen Bao, you are very good! His Majesty did not misjudge you! I promise you that I will only send troops to guard the Qianqing Palace, and the troops will not enter the Qianqing Palace."
"I thank you, the Queen, for your grace." Chen Bao was so excited that tears filled his eyes.
"Don't thank me for now. I haven't finished my words yet. Although the foreign soldiers will not enter the Qianqing Palace, you and your subordinates must abandon their weapons and leave the palace to standby." Queen Shi said calmly.
Chen Bao was stunned, "You want us to leave His Majesty's side?"
"Exactly, Yu Yu sent people to protect the Holy One. Is there anything to worry about when you come to Amber?" Queen Shi's voice became cold.
"I am willing to let my subordinates abandon their weapons and leave. Please allow me to stay by your Majesty's side to protect you!" After Chen Bao finished speaking, he suddenly knelt down on the ground and cried loudly. The more he cried, the sadder he became. Everyone who heard it was moved.
Only the tears of a loyal minister and filial son can move people the most. Queen Shi was touched by Chen Bao's tears to the softest part of her soul, and she sighed, "That's okay. You can stay with His Majesty to protect you when you come to Amber. However, you can only stay with His Majesty." You are alone.
"I thank you, the Queen, for your grace." Chen Bao was so excited that he kowtowed again. There was a loud "bang bang" sound, and his forehead bled from the knock, but he didn't even notice it.
"My dear, that Chen Bao has the courage to be unstoppable by ten thousand men. We must disarm his weapons before we can be safe," Liu Rong, the confidant of the eunuch Liu Rong, suggested to Queen Shi.
Queen Shi was naturally aware of Chen Bao's martial prowess, and was deeply wary of her. She nodded repeatedly and said to Chen Bao: "Come to Anbo. I've sent troops to guard the outside of Qianqing Palace. It's very safe. If you want weapons and armor, it's useless. Got it."
"Yes, empress." Chen Bao accepted the order, threw away his bow and mace, and slowly removed his armor.
Mrs. Yu winked, and several of her subordinates carried away the armor and weapons. The mace was very heavy, and the two of them were exhausted from carrying it.
"Empress, although you promised not to allow foreign soldiers to enter the Qianqing Palace, you did not promise not to allow internal servants to enter. Long Live Grandpa, you still have to keep a few confidants around you to be safe." Liu Rong came up with another idea.
"Well, you can make arrangements." Queen Shi nodded slowly.
With his master's nod, Liu Rong became more courageous and summoned his confidants Jiang Huaide, the right-hand eunuch, and Zhou Ke, the left-hand eunuch of the department, saying, "You two will bring four long followers and four to serve as emperors. Long live the service in Qianqing Palace." Grandpa, remember, you must choose reliable people."
"Yes", the two of them took the order and led people into the Qianqing Palace to serve.
It's called serving, but it's actually meant to monitor. Concubine Huang, He Liang, Chen Bao, and all the old people from the Qing Palace all dared to get angry but didn't dare to speak.
The three hundred guards of the Qianqing Palace left under the leadership of the commander-in-chief Yang Xiong, while Mrs. Yu led the army to surround the Qianqing Palace.
Crown Prince Zhu Ruoji was still worried, so he called Han Ruyan, the deputy chief of the palace guard, and asked: "How many of the imperial guards can you command?"
"I can only command a thousand, and there are still two thousand who are all Chen Bao's old troops," Han Ruyan replied.
Zhu Ruoji coldly ordered, "Move all Chen Bao's old troops out of the palace city and station them near the right gate of Chang'an in the southwest of the imperial city. Zhang Guoyong is ordered to lead two thousand East Palace guards to guard the palace together with Han guards."< /p>
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison, "In the Forbidden City, there are all princes and eagles.
