The courtiers, who had been soaked by the heavy rain, slipped into the back of the emperor's chamber, with drops of water dripping from their bodies. They wiped the rain off their faces and knelt down to pay tribute to the emperor.
The emperor waved his hands solemnly, "All my dear friends, please rise. Why do you have to brave the heavy rain to see me?"
The courtiers looked at each other, and then an old minister said, "Your Majesty, I heard that you summoned Commander Wei, but what big thing has happened that requires the mobilization of soldiers and horses from the Jinglu Army Camp?" p>
The emperor secretly hated these people for asking questions knowingly.
The emperor said with a sullen face, "All the imperial guards I sent were killed by An Huajin two hundred miles away. Only one of the five hundred imperial guards came back alive to report to me. After reporting the message, he was already dead.
.If I don’t kill An Huajin, wouldn’t she be rebelling against heaven?”
The courtiers were all shocked.
Before they came, they had heard that His Majesty had sent out imperial guards to chase An Huajin, but they never expected that all the imperial guards who chased him would be killed by An Huajin? Those were five hundred imperial guards.<
/p>
In particular, the martial arts of the Ouchi guards are all top-notch. For many years, wherever the Ouchi guards appear, they can stop children from crying at night.
No wonder His Majesty wants to mobilize troops and horses from Beijing.
A young minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, are you sure it was the imperial guard killed by Princess Anxiao?"
"What do you mean?" The emperor stared at the young courtier.
The man lowered his hand and said, "As far as I know, Princess An Xiao came to Beijing and brought the secret guards of the Nanyang Palace with her. However, the secret guards of the Nanyang Palace suffered a lot of damage when they were ambushed and killed by Zhang Chengze. Later, there were not many left around her.
There are many, and Your Majesty said that you have sent out five hundred imperial guards. How can Princess An Xiao kill all of them? I am afraid that your majesty will wrongly accuse Princess An.
Princess An was not the one who killed her. If someone else did it, Princess An would be wronged."
"Yes, Your Majesty, when the imperial guard reported, can it be said that all those who met Princess An were killed?" Another person took over, "After all, when Prince Su came to Beijing, he encountered a large number of killers. An Xiao
The little princess also encountered killers. There were many killer organizations in the world that were against the imperial court. There were also killers raised by the Zhang family's traitors who fled to Nanliang and Southern Qi. They were also extremely powerful."
Hearing this, Eunuch Zhang whispered to the side, "Your Majesty, the killer who came back to report the news does not seem to have said that it was Princess An's people who killed the imperial guard."
The emperor glanced at Eunuch Zhang coldly.
Eunuch Zhang immediately lowered his head, shrank his head, and quickly admitted his mistake, "It's the old slave who talks too much."
"Your Majesty, since it has not been concluded that it was Princess Anxiao who did it, the matter must be clarified before Princess Anxiao can be convicted. The soldiers and horses of the Jinglu Soldiers and Horses Camp cannot be used because of this. Once the soldiers and horses of the Jinglu Soldiers and Horses Camp are used
The soldiers and horses are fighting against Princess Anxiao alone, and if Nanyang finds out, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Yes, Your Majesty, please think twice."
"Beijinglu soldiers and horses are heavy troops guarding the capital. They protect the safety of the capital and cannot be easily transferred. Once they are transferred, if thieves take the opportunity to cause trouble, the consequences will be disastrous and the capital will be in danger."
"Your Majesty must not mobilize the soldiers and horses in Beijing."
The courtiers talked to each other and knelt down on the ground, saying that the emperor was not allowed to use the soldiers and horses of the Jinglu Army Camp.
The emperor was angry, got off the bed, and pointed at the courtiers one by one, "You, you don't allow me to mobilize the soldiers and horses in Beijing. Then you tell me, how can we catch An Huajin who is planning to murder the emperor's heir?"
"Princess An Xiao committed the murder because of her insanity, and the crime is not worthy of death." One person said, "Your Majesty, we must first find out the reason for Princess An's insanity. This is the key point."
"Princess An is young after all. What she did is like beating up Prince Chen three years ago. She ran back to Nanyang because she was scared. Your Majesty can let Prince Nanyang punish Princess An."<
/p>
"Let King Nanyang punish him?" The emperor laughed angrily, "He is protecting his granddaughter, how can he be punished?"
"I believe that King Nanyang is not indifferent to right from wrong, and he will personally escort the young princess to Beijing to apologize to His Majesty." An old minister said, "Until the matter is understood, Your Majesty really shouldn't be shouting like this.
”
"The Prince of Nanyang has made great contributions to the country and the country of Chu. He has made many meritorious deeds. His Majesty cannot blame her for any fault. But he has to kill Princess An and exterminate the queen of the Prince of Nanyang, which chills the hearts of loyal ministers."
"I would like to ask your majesty to take back the order, and the sea arrest documents must also be taken back."
Civil servants are best at eloquence, so for a while, the emperor felt that he was indefensible.
The emperor was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but looking at the expressions of the courtiers who were determined to remonstrate to death, he couldn't help but feel powerless.
In the past, I had never seen the courtiers so fond of protecting Anjia. In addition to fearing the intimidation of Anjia's millions of troops, they also put little shoes on Anjia's back.
But what is going on today?
Even Wei Zhen, who was about to accept the order, disapproved and persuaded His Majesty that the troops from Beijing should not be mobilized. He also suggested honestly that the emperor should order a thorough investigation into why Princess Anxiao was unconscious. There must be some inside story on this matter.
After all, Princess An Xiao came to Beijing twice and was assassinated both times. This time, it may be a conspiracy by someone behind the scenes, who wants to use Your Majesty to get rid of Princess An Xiao.
Wei Zhen had been at the military camp at the foot of the capital, so naturally he didn't know much about the inside story. He only vaguely knew that An Huajin had killed Hua Siyu while unconscious on the day of the palace banquet. After that, he was taken away by Gu Qingyan.
Together with Gu Qingyan, there is no trace so far.
Therefore, he would not have thought that the emperor plotted against An Huajin, which caused An Huajin to kill Hua Xiyu.
As for the secret plot against An Huajin, the emperor naturally could not speak openly about it. Therefore, the courtiers who knew the inside story did not tell the truth, and the courtiers who did not know the inside story did not know, which resulted in the fact that today the courtiers kept saying
Let Your Majesty first investigate the inside story thoroughly, and then negotiate with the King of Nanyang about Princess Anxiao. It is a bad idea to shout about beating and killing.
The emperor had good reason to suspect that although Mr. Gu did not come today, based on the background of the Gu family, among these courtiers, there may be many people from the Gu family faction. On the surface, they kept admonishing him for his own good, but in fact, they were not
The Gu family protects An Huajin?
The emperor couldn't express his suffering, and had nowhere to vent his anger. For a while, he couldn't breathe and fainted again.
When the courtiers saw the emperor fainting, they were all frightened and quickly called the imperial doctor.
The imperial physician checked the emperor's pulse several times a day. Each time, the emperor's anger caused him to become violent and his condition worsened. This time, he was so angry that he fainted.
The imperial doctor was helpless.
As a result, the emperor's bedroom was in chaos for a while. When the courtiers saw that the emperor had fainted, although their lives were not in danger, it was not appropriate to leave, so they all stayed in the emperor's bedroom, waiting for the emperor to wake up.
They were all thinking that His Majesty is so angry, and also wondering whether His Majesty cared too much about that woman Hua Siyu.
It is said that beauty is a curse, and this flower like jade is a curse. She was born as a sinner and entered the palace from Tianlao. She was criticized by others. Later, she misled your majesty to join forces with thieves to harm Princess An. However, your majesty protected her and was not honest even when she was pregnant.
In the cold palace, he hired the imperial doctor every day to torture the imperial hospital due to typhoid fever. He also hooked the emperor's soul and sent him to the cold palace without reviewing the memorials every day. Now, he was killed by Princess An, although the emperor in his belly was
The heir does make people feel that it is a pity, but it is excusable to be unconscious. Your Majesty did not investigate the inside story. Instead, he wanted to kill Princess An for murdering his heirs. Not only did he use the imperial guards, but he also used the troops of the five cities.
, using the imperial guards, and now, they actually have to use the soldiers and horses from the Jinglu Army Camp.
Princess Anxiao is guilty of killing the emperor's heir, but the crime does not lead to death.
But Your Majesty, this is really...
The court officials really felt that this matter was unacceptable.
King Jing and his concubine had been waiting for His Majesty to depose the Queen, and for His Majesty to send someone to send back the good news that An Hua Jin had been killed without mercy. Unfortunately, they did not expect that what they were waiting for was not the news that An Hua Jin had been killed without mercy.
It was the news that all the imperial guards sent by His Majesty had been killed. That was all. His Majesty mobilized the soldiers and horses from the Jinglu Army Camp to pursue them. They encountered collective resistance from the courtiers. Even if they fainted, they could not
Let the courtiers change their tune.
King Jing threw a tea cup angrily and summoned his staff to discuss countermeasures.
The emperor indeed guessed correctly. The move of the courtiers was naturally promoted by the Gu family secretly. Even if Gu Qingyan did not instigate it, Mr. Gu could not let the emperor mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Beijing Lu Army Camp. Once they were mobilized,
If the soldiers and horses in the Jinglu Army Camp cannot find An Huajin, it will not end well.
If King Nanyang gets the news, it is a trivial matter. He will become angry and get sick. After all, King Nanyang is most loyal to the king and the country.
If King Nanyang is ill, the generals of the Nanyang Army may be filled with righteous indignation after learning the inside story and take advantage of King Nanyang's illness to rebel, and they will not be able to suppress them.
Once it cannot be suppressed, the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, no matter how much noise Your Majesty makes, the soldiers and horses of Jinglu cannot be moved.
