Chapter 389
It seems that Qi Jingyang has to enter the palace this time, but it makes sense. Qi Jingyang grew up in the palace, and the emperor is his last relative. Although Qi Jingqin and Qi Wangshu are half-brothers,
Brother and sister, but where is the so-called family affection between them now? They always lost everything on the road of growing up. Qi Jingyang has nothing now, even his only relative is about to pass away. From then on, in his heart
There is no destination anymore.
Rong Fu knew what Qi Jingyang was thinking, and he also knew that doing this was actually a last resort. If there was really another way, who would be willing to risk the crime of breaking into the palace and beheading someone.
When Yu Chen and Dai Wang saw this scene, they still felt a little uncomfortable. What they originally thought was that with their skills, it would not be a problem to enter and exit the palace superbly. As long as they found the right opportunity, they could
Qi Jingqin could be assassinated. Moreover, Yu Chen and Dai Wang had invited so many helpers, which increased the success rate of the assassination. However, they never expected that Prince Cong would lead them directly through the Gate of Supreme Harmony.
Go to the palace, this way you won't feel the assassination feeling at all.
They simply cannot understand Qi Jingyang's self-esteem as an abandoned prince. He has always been the prince. This is the first time he has entered the palace after being demoted to a prince. If he followed them in unnoticed, they would naturally disagree. Qi Jingyang would still have to go to Qin.
Zhengdian looks after his father, so this is simply not feasible. Yu Chen and Dai Wang didn't know that Qi Jingyang would be so nostalgic for family ties. Maybe even Qi Jingyang didn't expect that he would have such a big dream when he agreed to their plan.
In response, facing the death of his father, he was still sad after all.
Rong Fu walked across the White Jade Bridge and stood under the Gate of Taihe. He looked up at Luo Xun and Liang Ji who were standing on the city wall. How could Qi Jingyang be like this in the past? The current situation can be said to be the end of Qi Jingyang's life.
His dignity was thrown to the ground and crushed.
After Luo Xun saw that he had said these words, they still did not leave. The leading eunuch actually walked across the White Jade Bridge. The imperial guards outside Taihe Gate, Wei Shen and Zhao Zhao all looked at Rong Fu with vigilance, without any imagination.
It was such a bloody battle, but there was a knife hidden in the covert. The people behind them had never met before, and it was hard to tell where they came from. It was as if they had never been there in this world.
at.
Zhao Zhao, Wei Shen and the others looked up at the two generals above the Gate of Supreme Harmony, wanting to know what to do now.
It was also the first time for Liang Ji to see such a scene. He was followed by a group of people in strange clothes. It was hard to tell what their strength was, but what he knew was that if the two sides really fought, it would definitely be a thankless task. But Liang Ji
At the same time, Ji also knew that it was absolutely impossible to let them in. There was no way he could open the palace door tonight.
When Luo Xun saw Rong Fu coming forward, he immediately put on a majestic and serious look. Whether it was because of his own responsibilities or because of the instructions of the Crown Princess and Liang Ji, since they chose to walk in through the Taihe Gate, they must
It's impossible to let them in.
Seeing this, Liang Ji privately pulled Luo Xun's sleeve and whispered: "Don't anger them. It's best not to fight, otherwise it won't be good for anyone."
The emperor had just died, and the situation in the capital was still like this. If the people knew about it, they would inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble. If they fight again at the gate of the palace, it might affect Qi Jingqin's accession to the throne.
Liang Ji didn't want to take risks on this matter. He knew that his sister Liang Huanqing cared about Qi Jingqin very much. Furthermore, Qi Wangshu was Qi Jingqin's sister. Even without such a relationship, Liang Ji still looked down on Qi Jingqin.
I don't want anything to happen to the court. No matter what, Qi Jingqin is the most suitable candidate to inherit the throne. There must be no more accidents. I think Liang Huanqing had the same idea, so he asked him to guard the palace gate at this juncture.
Luo Xun nodded slightly. He knew that Liang Ji was worried about something. Through the conversation just now, he also understood this. Furthermore, this matter had nothing to do with them, but it was also closely related. Qi Jingyang should not let Qi Jingyang
They entered the palace because they were worried about the safety of the new monarch. They did not take action for the sake of the country and the country. People's hearts are always unpredictable. They don't know what Qi Jingyang will do next, but what is the identity of the other party? It's better to speak politely.
.
Rongfu walked to the Taihe Gate, raised his head and bowed his hands to Luo Xun and Liang Ji above, and said: "Master Luo, nine bells suddenly rang in the palace. My prince was worried that something had happened, and wanted to go to the palace to visit the emperor.
For your convenience, please open the palace door and allow me to enter."
Rongfu did not dare to directly say that the emperor had passed away. After all, he had not seen it with his own eyes. He could not be completely sure just by the sound of the bell. He only dared to say so, and in his heart he still hoped that they could take the opportunity as soon as possible for the sake of the emperor's death.
Open the door to avoid any accidents.
"My father-in-law is an old man in the palace. He must also know that after the palace door is unlocked, it will never be opened until the fourth watch tomorrow. Please tell your father-in-law and the prince not to embarrass my subordinates.
"Luo Xun stood at the Gate of Supreme Harmony and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
When Rong Fu heard this, it was reasonable. He naturally knew this rule. After so many years in the palace, whether it was written rules or unwritten conventions, Rong Fu knew everything clearly.
, there is absolutely no one who doesn’t know that the palace door cannot be opened again after the key is pressed. This is a rule made to protect the royal family. At night, the line of sight is blocked, and everyone in the royal family is asleep. How many people live in this palace.
Master, whoever comes out will not affect the imperial court, harem and even the world. Such rules are also to protect them. Rongfu naturally knows about it.
"But didn't General Luo hear it? What does the nine bells of the Lingtai ringing mean? Doesn't General Luo know? The emperor has few offspring. Prince Gong is the only child of Empress Mingxian. He grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he always disappears.
You can't even see the emperor for the last time, right?" Rongfu is unwilling to give up like this. It is reasonable after all. Prince Cong's request is not too much. He just wants to see the emperor. Now that the emperor has passed away, how can he be his son?
Are you not even qualified to see your father?
"It's still a few hours before the palace door opens. Please wait a moment, Prince Cong. We don't dare to open the palace door without the holy order. This is the rule."
Luo Xun couldn't say anything else. He could only suppress them with rules again and again, hoping that they would retreat despite the difficulties. It was impossible for them to enter the palace today no matter what.
Seeing Luo Xun and the others pressing rules against him again and again, Rongfu felt very unhappy. He once served as the manager of the East Palace and only had others fawning over him. How could he have ever suffered such grievances? But even so, Rongfu
Fu still understands the current situation. Now that Qi Jingyang is no longer the prince, their status has also plummeted. In addition, everyone in the Shangjing court now knows Qi Jingyang's current situation. It is good if he is not embarrassed. Where else can it be?
The room for negotiation is that everyone must act according to the rules.
Follow the rules. In this place where only Qi Jingyang used to follow the rules, there are still people who use the rules to suppress Qi Jingyang. It is really infuriating.
Rong Fu turned back to look at the carriage. Just looking at the outside of the carriage, naturally he couldn't see the expression of Qi Jingyang sitting inside, but he also knew in his heart that Qi Jingyang was in a bad mood at this time.
of.
Qi Jingyang sat in the carriage and heard their conversation clearly. He was a prince now, but he was a prince in the past. After all, he was a member of the royal family. He didn't want to get out of the carriage and be embarrassed, but listening to their arrogant tone, he knew
It was not so easy to get in today. He stretched out a hand, and Kong Yan hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty."
"What's going on outside now?" Qi Jingyang didn't want to stick his head out to see. This would also undermine his identity too much. This palace has always been a place where he can come and leave whenever he wants. Who would have known that he would be rejected today?
It's really embarrassing! Let alone sticking your head out to see.
Kong Yan looked at the situation in front of him, and looked at each other with Rong Fu. He saw the embarrassed look on Rong Fu's face and knew that the current situation was not very good. He looked up and saw Luo standing on the Gate of Supreme Harmony.
Xun and Liang Ji, as well as the well-equipped Imperial Forest Army and Liang Family Army who gathered outside Taihe Gate, knew what was going on.
Kong Yan then leaned down, approached the window of the carriage, and said, "Your Majesty, Liang Ji is here too. There are also troops from the Liang family outside the Taihe Gate."
"That's my army from the Celestial Empire!" As soon as Qi Jingyang heard Liang Ji's name, he knew that this matter was closely related to the Liang family. Since it was Liang Ji who came forward, that stinky girl Liang Huanqing was naturally involved behind the scenes. "
These people are really lingering, they are everywhere!"
Kong Yan raised his head and glanced at Liang Ji standing above, then leaned down and said: "Then Prince, what should we do now? Liang Ji will never let us into the palace here. Just like Lord Luo said,
There are still a few hours before the palace gate opens. If we go back to the palace and wait, we will definitely be allowed to enter the palace early tomorrow morning. We are not in a hurry..."
Seeing this posture, Kong Yan knew that he would definitely not be able to get in today, so it would be better to go back early. It would not be too late to see him again tomorrow morning when people all over the city were mourning for the emperor.
"I must go in tonight!" What the Liang family is now has a great relationship with Qi Jingqin. When I think of the time when I was deposed, Qi Jingqin looked condescending when he came to Prince Cong's Mansion. At that time, he was not
The prince is already so arrogant, and now that he is the prince, he is even more difficult for Qi Jingyang. How can Qi Jingyang be able to swallow this?
Kong Yan knew Qi Jingyang's temper. He knew that he had always been so stubborn and would not listen to the opinions of others. This temper had lasted for so long. Naturally, he could not be expected to change his mind in an instant.
Neng looked at Rong Fu who was standing in front of them negotiating with them with an embarrassed look on his face.
When Rong Fu saw what Kong Yan and Prince Cong said in private, he looked at Kong Yan with a questioning expression, hoping that he could convince the prince to go back early so that it would not be a problem to be blocked outside the door.
Someone who cares has heard it. It is not good to say something randomly. Now the prince is on the cusp of the storm, but there cannot be any more rumors. It is really detrimental to the prince.
But Kong Yan shook his head helplessly, which meant that the persuasion was not successful. Before the prince gave the order to break in, he asked Rongfu to use only the power of words to get them to open the palace door and let them in.
When Rong Fu saw Kong Yan's expression, he probably knew it. He looked at Yu Chen and Dai Wang standing behind the carriage, as well as the ragtag group of people behind him. If they fight like this, no one will be rewarded.
, I don’t know how capable these people are, but they dare to challenge these excellent troops blatantly. It would be justified if they assassinated them, but if they really want to fight at the Gate of Supreme Harmony, Liang Fengmian will lead his troops.
Now, none of these people who are causing trouble outside the palace can escape. Wouldn't they just fall into a trap by then?
That's all, but now that the emperor is dead, and when Qi Jingqin ascends the throne, this matter will become the target of public criticism, and everyone will make a fuss about it to help Qi Jingqin solve this serious problem.
Rong Fu sighed, shook his head and said secretly: "Now, all the hard work of the Empress and Prime Minister Lu will be in vain. Why bother if the green hills are left without worrying about firewood! The emperor is gone, now
The bottom is the fish meat on the knife board - are you allowed to be slaughtered?"
Although Rong Fu said so, the things Qi Jingyang explained should be as they should be. They and their master were grasshoppers on the same rope, sharing weal and woe.
Luo Xun stood on the Taihe Gate, watching them muttering something in a low voice, then turned around and asked Liang Ji: "What if there is really going to be a fight later?"
Liang Ji held the hilt of the sword in his hand, looked straight at Yu Chen and Dai Wang, and said, "If you come, you will fight, and if you fight, you will win."
Luo Xun laughed when he heard this and said, "I just like your confidence!"
Wei Shen was outside Taihe Gate, with Liang Jiajun behind him. He looked directly at Yu Chen and Dai Wang. He always felt that they looked familiar. He seemed to have seen them somewhere, but he didn't know where he had seen them.
, so I kept looking at them, trying to remember where I had seen them.
Rongfu had no choice but to step forward and said: "Since that's the case, let's follow the rules. If you want to enter the palace at night, you must report to the Holy One and get the holy order before you can enter. I'd like to trouble Lord Luo to send someone to ask for permission."
The prince indeed has urgent matters and needs to enter the palace."
"My father-in-law heard the nine bells ringing just now, why don't you understand the situation?" Luo Xun said in confusion.
Now that the emperor is dead, where can he go to seek instructions from the Holy Order?
"Since this is a special situation, why are we not allowed to open the city gate and let Prince Cong in?" Rong Fu began to trick them.
Luo Xun looked at Liang Ji in embarrassment. There was some truth in what he said. How should he say it now?
"The emperor passed away, and all the people mourned him. We can understand Prince Cong's filial piety, but we are here to guard the palace gate, so naturally we don't dare to neglect." Liang Ji stepped forward and said, "The emperor passed away without a royal decree.
