Spring Forest Evening

Zhou Heng was a little confused by the Queen Mother's series of words and the final performance:

Is this to explain the reason why I had no time to take care of the imperial concubine?

Are you still expressing your sadness?

For a while, I was a little confused, so I had to look at Grand Master Shen again to see how he reacted. Anyway, Shen Fu would definitely not step out at this time, and Empress Jiang was also silently wiping away tears.

Sure enough, then the grand master Shen stood up again, cupped his hands towards the queen mother, and said with a sigh:

"My mother's day is sad, such an accident tonight, it can be said to be unique, old minister,"

Then he cupped his hands in a circle, with a sad tone:

"Also, my lords, when I watched His Majesty fall into distress on the shore but was unable to rescue him, I could say that I was completely destroyed. I only wish I could replace him with my own body. I am guilty!"

While talking, he knelt down again, but he is not tall and has a big belly, this kneeling is very strenuous, so he had to support the ground with his hands, coupled with his gray beard and hair, he has a trembling old appearance, Very sad.

A younger minister with poor eyesight quickly gave him a hand.

It's just that when he knelt like this, many people in the pavilion got up and knelt down on the ground, and many people began to sob again. For a while, there was a sad atmosphere in the pavilion.

Looking down at this scene, Zhou Heng felt that he understood a little bit:

No matter what the empress dowager's words meant, all in all, it has been successfully resolved by Grand Master Shen.

However, with such an interruption, the matter of the noble concubine Shu and others mentioned by Empress Jiang was also passed on, so that after a while, some people could no longer support their knees, and there was a 40-something The bearded man looked like a general, raised his head and said in a rough voice:

"The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, I believe that the country cannot be left without a master for a day. Now, now that His Majesty has passed away, the princes are already...accidental, the gate of the palace has been closed, and those thieves have their own guards. Captured, the number of people entering the palace tonight has been reported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the truth will come out sooner or later, the most urgent thing is to invite the two empresses—"

After a pause, he looked at the people around him and cupped his hands: "The clan, and all the adults, discuss and come up with a safe charter!"

These words seemed to reach the hearts of many people. For a while, there were voices of agreement one after another, and those who wiped their tears stopped crying.

"Mommy, hurry up and help the Grand Master get up, and please get up too!" Empress Jiang first ordered Jiang Nanny beside her, and then sighed after waiting for everyone to get up and take their seats:

"What General Zhu said just now is very true. It's just that the former dynasty is no better than the harem after all. Although this palace was taught by my father since childhood, it was appointed by the late emperor and loved by the emperor. It is the most important thing for a family and country to inherit the throne. The palace is in a state of confusion now, and I have to rely on the adults!"

These words were beautiful, as if letting the courtiers make the decisions, the civil servants and military generals who got up and took their seats all nodded one after another, as if they had a heavy responsibility on their shoulders and shared the empress' worries.

But it's strange, the mother and daughter of the queen mother and the third princess didn't even refute it?

Not only did she not refute, but the third princess, who was standing next to the queen mother with her arms crossed, actually sat down now, looking like she was watching a good show.

Zhou Heng had an intuition that the mother and daughter had a big move ahead, and now he probably wanted to see the reaction of Empress Jiang and the ministers first.

To be precise, I want to see what the opponent's plan is before launching a counterattack, right?

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles!

But now that there are so many people here, and there are imperial guards outside, Zhou Heng doesn't know how they will counterattack at that time, and always feels a little uncomfortable in his heart.

At this moment, I couldn't help but think that the Lord Protector didn't come, maybe it was because of this consideration?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but peeked at Shen Fu who was not far away, to comfort myself:

With him around, it should always be safe.

What's more, no matter how ruthless the three princesses are, they can't kill all the officials in this room, can they?

The key is that they are still here, the generals are not so incompetent, not to mention there is a group of imperial guards outside.

Isn't Qin Zhihai, the commander of the imperial guards, the father of Empress Jiang's child?

Then let's listen to how these people set the rules first!

Grand Master Shen didn't know whether it was due to his personality, or because he really had great power, or because he had colluded with others in advance, so he spoke unceremoniously, after hearing Empress Jiang's polite words of humility, he took over. After talking, he nodded and said:

"The old minister thinks that this matter must be settled tonight, and it will be announced to the world at dawn, so as not to cause people's hearts to fluctuate and the government to be unstable. If you are not sure, it will be too late!"

"That's not necessarily the case," the third princess interjected slowly at this time: "You don't have to release the palace, what if the assassin is still not caught by then? Commander Qin, you can guarantee that the thief will be caught tonight Is it?"

This... can't be guaranteed. Everyone looked at Qin Zhihai in unison, and the general Zhu who had spoken just now said with a straight face:

"Third princess, this matter is no small matter. Those assassins came prepared, they must be dead soldiers. Just now when Wei Chen came in, the water surface was silent. It seems to have sunk to the bottom, how can I-"

"Third princess," Qin Zhihai cupped his hands towards the third princess at this moment, and said loudly:

"The thieves are cunning and premeditated, but I think that since they can enter the palace with a big weapon and wear water jackets, they probably didn't come in through the normal way, so I have already ordered to let them in." The imperial guards pay attention to whether there are any secret passages above and below the Taiye pool, and moreover, "

Having said that, he bowed his hands to the Queen Mother and the Queen respectively, and continued to say loudly in the silence:

"After all, the imperial guards are only limited to the imperial city. Here, I also ask the queen mother and queen to give Fengyin to mobilize the dragon fat guards and tiger guards, and close the city gate at dawn. I vow to dig three feet into the ground and find this Help the insane thieves and avenge His Majesty and the princes!"

These words were so resounding that the people around knelt down again and asked the two palaces to bestow the phoenix seal to mobilize the two guards in unison.

Zhou Heng watched secretly, and Empress Jiang was naturally willing to do this, so she ordered Mother Jiang beside her to fetch her phoenix seal in person.

The empress dowager mother and daughter's complexion looked a bit ugly, so the three princesses were even more dissatisfied and said:

"Is this necessary? Such a big incident happened tonight, as the emperor's internal guards, they are duty-bound..."

"Shan'er!" The queen mother interrupted her words gently, and said: "The emperor's inner guard recognizes people and recognizes seals, let alone the seal of the phoenix, even if your mother dies, Aijia has nothing to say Say."

This is so true... Zhou Heng saw a group of kneeling people buried their heads, and said in unison:

"I am frightened!"

It seems that this is a sentence that everyone is used to saying on weekdays, and there is probably no difference between saying it and not saying it, Zhou Heng smiled secretly in his heart.

Only General Zhu, who looked upright and upright, shouted at the top of his voice like a stunned head:

"I beg you to join Commander Qin's command to catch the thieves tonight!"
