Fan Kang led the generals to the palace gate. He did not just rush in, but said to the eunuch on duty at the door: "Go in quickly and report to the emperor that Fan Kang, the infantry commander's yamen chief clerk, led the capital's generals
We are about to have an audience with the emperor."
The eunuch who was guarding the gate was a little scared when he saw Fan Kang leading his men to enter the palace aggressively. So he didn't care about anything else and ran towards the inner palace at full speed.
When he arrived at the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Yangxin Palace, he inquired and found out that the emperor had gone to Ningshou Palace and had not returned yet.
Fan Kang, who was outside and led his troops to break in, made him a little worried. At this moment, Dai Lian also came to Dongnuang Pavilion to report to the emperor that Gao Quan and others were blocked at Xihua Gate.
As a result, he saw the little eunuch jumping anxiously outside Dongnuan Pavilion. So he stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing here, little brat?"
When the young eunuch saw Dai Lian coming, he felt as if he had seen a savior. He hurried up to pay homage, and then said impatiently: "Eunuch Dai, something bad has happened. Fan Kang, the commander of the infantry commander's office, and the generals from the capital are going to the palace for an interview.
Your Majesty, your troops are already waiting at the palace gate."
When Dai Lian heard this, he was frightened out of his wits. Although he had already known the news of Jia Ke's return to the army through the intelligence system, he did not expect that his subordinates in the capital would act so fast. Could it be that they wanted to force Jia Ke before he came back?
Does the emperor abdicate?
Now Dai Lian doesn't care to report back to Xia Shouzhong. He has been in charge of intelligence for so many years and still knows his priorities.
Dai Lian did not dare to delay. It was clear that the emperor was no longer in Dongnuan Pavilion. He immediately ran to Ningshou Palace, the harem. He was so fast along the way that he knocked down several palace maids and eunuchs.
When he arrived at Ningshou Palace, he was already out of breath. The eunuch you sent outside the palace saw him and rushed forward to support him. You must know that he is still Dai Quan's godson. These people in Ningshou Palace
The eunuchs were considered Dai Quan's confidants, so they naturally knew his identity.
They helped Dai Lian to the entrance of Ningshou Palace, and then a eunuch went in to report.
At this time, the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor were anxiously waiting for news. Otherwise, a eunuch came in and reported: "To report to the Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty, Dai Lian, the chief of the secret guards outside, has something important to report."
These two supreme beings naturally knew Dai Lian and heard that he had important matters. At this critical moment, nothing could be delayed, so the emperor directly ordered Dai Lian to come in and report.
After receiving the reply, Dai Lian dared to enter Ningshou Palace. After the young eunuch led him into the Emperor's bedroom, the first thing he saw was the Emperor, lying weakly on the bed, while the emperor was pacing back and forth in the Emperor's chamber.
Dai Lian did not dare to neglect, so he went up and knelt on his knees to kowtow to the two supreme beings.
The emperor asked anxiously: "What's the matter with you? Could it be that Jia Ke's people are already preparing to lead their troops to attack the palace."
Dai Lian thought to himself that the emperor still had some self-awareness, and even though his guess was not right this time, it was not far off.
"Long live the Lord, the Infantry Commander's Yamen, Chief Registrar Fan Kang, and the main generals in the capital are already waiting outside the palace gate, requesting the Emperor to summon them."
The emperor was at a loss as soon as he heard this. He did not expect that one of his actions would lead to a huge disaster.
The Supreme Emperor sat up from the bed, and Dai Quan, who was next to him, quickly went over to put a pillow behind his back and let him lean on the edge of the bed.
Only then did the Supreme Emperor calm down, and then he said in a calm tone: "These people also knew to report to the eunuch first and did not break into the palace directly. It seems that there is still room for maneuver."
After listening to the words of the Supreme Emperor, the emperor felt a little calm, and then asked: "Father, do you think I should receive them?"
The Supreme Emperor was a little unhappy when he heard this. This emperor usually seemed to be quite assertive, but how could he turn into a weakling at the critical moment?
But now I can't care about him for the sake of Jiangshan's design. Since the emperor is so weak, it seems that I can only come forward in person.
So the Supreme Emperor said to Dai Lian: "In this case, I and the emperor will summon them in Qianqing Palace."
After saying this, the Supreme Emperor said to Dai Quan next to him: "Get ready to escort me and the emperor to Qianqing Palace."
Dai Quan, who was next to him, said with some worry: "Your Majesty, your old man's health is like this. Why don't you let Fan Kang and others bring the generals to Ningshou Palace."
When the Supreme Emperor heard this, he scolded him angrily: "I'm confused, this Fan Kang must bring soldiers when he enters the palace. If I receive him in Ningshou Palace, then his soldiers will probably turn our palace upside down." .”
After hearing what the Supreme Emperor said, Dai Quan realized that he had been a little presumptuous. Sure enough, the Supreme Emperor was thoughtful.
So he didn't dare to say anything anymore and immediately went out to prepare the carriage and horses for the Supreme Emperor.
Soon Dai Quan entered the Emperor's palace again, came to the Emperor and said softly: "Your Majesty, the chariot is ready. When will we set off?"
The Supreme Emperor said weakly: "Let's set off immediately. If the traitors can't wait outside, they will be in trouble if they break in."
After saying this, the Supreme Emperor was about to struggle to get off the ground. Dai Quan, who was next to him, hurried over to support him. Then he waved and three or four more eunuchs came over to change the Supreme Emperor's clothes.
Soon the Supreme Emperor was dressed neatly and walked slowly out of the palace gate with the support of two eunuchs.
The emperor felt very heavy when he was with the Supreme Empress. His rash actions eventually led to such a situation that the already bedridden Supreme Emperor had to brace himself up and go to Qianqing Palace to handle his funeral affairs.
The Supreme Emperor left the palace of Ningshou Palace and was immediately helped into a soft sedan. The emperor also got into the sedan behind him, so the two generations of emperors, father and son, hurried to Qianqing Palace surrounded by eunuchs.
The Queen Mother stood at the gate of the palace to say goodbye to the father and son, but there was no expression on her face, as if she was wearing a mask.
At this time, Jia Yuanchun, who was in Ningshou Palace, also got the news from the eunuchs' discussions. She didn't know whether to be happy or worried now.
Originally, Jia Yuanchun was born in the Jia family, and entering the palace was also a compromise made for the prosperity and wealth of the Jia family.
However, I did not expect that Jia Ke would now be in charge of the military power of the world. It seems that this ambition is not small. Although he was born in the Jia family, he has married into the royal family after all. His future children must be the flesh and blood of the royal family. From then on, Jia Yuanchun You have to worry about the future of yourself and your children.
I hope Jia Ke can treat himself kindly for the sake of the sacrifices he has made for the Jia family.
When Jia Yuanchun was worried, the Empress Dowager returned to the main hall of Ningshou Palace from the palace gate.
Jia Yuanchun hurried forward to pay homage. After all, Jia Ke had not conquered the world yet, and he still had to live under the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother glanced sideways at Jia Yuanchun, and then asked: "Concubine Jia, do you really not know what happened today?"
Jia Yuanchun was helpless when he saw that the Empress Dowager did not trust him. If he really knew the situation, how could he be so frightened?
"When I return to the Queen Mother, I really don't know that I have been cut off from communication with my family for a long time."
The Empress Dowager nodded after hearing this, knowing that this was arranged by the emperor, because she was afraid that Jia Yuanchun would spread what she saw in the palace to the outside world.
"In that case, just stay in the palace and don't think about anything else." The reason why the Empress Dowager said this to Yayuan Village was because she had the same problem as Jia Yuanchun. She also married into Jia Yuanchun for the sake of the family's wealth.
In the palace.
Jia Yuanchun quickly bowed his head to thank him.
The Empress Dowager continued: "If you want to protect yourself now, the most important thing is to have a child. As long as you have this child, all the big things will come to nothing."
Jia Yuanchun raised his head and glanced at the Empress Dowager, then lowered his head again. She was not a fool. The Empress Dowager wanted to leave flesh and blood for the royal family.
If Jia Ke really gets to that point, I'm afraid he won't have any mercy for other people's children and will definitely eradicate the roots. But if this child is Jia Yuanchun's, maybe the royal family can still leave a sliver of roots.
When the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor arrived at the main hall of Qianqing Palace, the Supreme Emperor sat on the throne in the center. Dai Quan watched from the side as the Supreme Emperor sat on it and his body swayed, feeling a little unable to support himself. He hurriedly ordered someone to bring some soft cushions and placed them on the throne.
Place them all around for the Supreme Emperor to have something to rely on.
The emperor placed an ordinary high chair next to the throne. Now there is no need to pay attention to it. The emperor just sat there.
Then the Emperor said to Dai Quan: "Let them come in. I want to see what these people can do to me."
The Supreme Emperor is also extremely resentful in his heart now. He is getting old, but at the last moment he left such a big trouble to his children and grandchildren. Now he can only hold on with all his life for a while, hoping to save things as much as possible.
.
Dai Quan got the order and winked at Dai Lian below. Dai Lian understood immediately. He bowed his body and slowly exited the Qianqing Palace. After leaving the door, he dared to stand up and turn around.
He turned around and ran towards the palace gate.
By the time Dai Lian arrived outside the palace gate, Fan Kang could still maintain his composure, but the four generals behind him were already a little agitated.
After Dai Lian saw Fan Kang, he quickly stepped forward to salute him. If he had not saluted Fan Kang before, even if Fan Kang was a little disrespectful to him, he would have looked good on Fan Kang.
"Lord Fan, the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty have summoned you all at Qianqing Palace. Please come with me."
After hearing this, Fan Kang just nodded and said nothing else, then took the lead and walked towards the palace gate. The four generals behind him also followed, and their personal guards did not stop outside the palace gate, but swarmed
Entered the palace gate.
Dai Lian saw this situation and wanted to stop him, but Zheng Kai gave him a fierce look and immediately told him to swallow back all the words that came to his mouth.
So Dai Lian just silently led the way, while Fan Kang led a large group of people directly into the palace gate, and then followed the encounter and came directly to the outside of Qianqing Palace.
Seeing that Dai Lian had arrived, he turned around and said to Fan Kang, "Master Fan, can you wait a moment again? I'll go in and report to the two Supreme Beings."
Fan Kang did not embarrass him. He nodded and said, "You're welcome, Eunuch Dai. As ministers, it doesn't matter if we wait outside for a while."
After Dai Lian thanked Fan Kang, he dared to turn around and enter the main hall of Qianqing Palace.
