Shuoyun Feidu

Chapter 361 Palace Change

At this moment, the sun has risen, Beitang Rongdu has a calm expression on his face, and he strode away from the bedroom. The guard of honor has been prepared outside. Today, Beitang Rongdu did not take a car, but prepared a horse. Beitang Rongdu turned over for a while He got on his horse and took the lead. Not long after, he went out of the second door, and a group of people who had been waiting in front of the door for a long time suddenly gathered around. Everyone was dressed in robes and armor, and they were dressed as generals. There are different grades, everyone's eyes are slightly bloodshot, their faces are solemn, full of calmness and firmness, the matter has come to this point, everyone has no room to back down, since the moment of dawn today, the presence and many The wealth, life and future of everyone who was not present had all been entrusted to this handsome young man in yellow robe in front of him.

Beitang Rongdu looked serious, looked at the crowd that was gradually approaching, and nodded slightly, but did not say a word, the generals approached, all looked solemn, and saluted one after another: "...Your Highness!" At this time At this moment, apart from this one sound, there is nothing more that needs to be said. Beitang Rongdu nodded to the crowd on horseback, his face softened a little, and said: "...Okay, everyone Now, there is no need to be too polite." When this big event is about to come, it is a lie to say that the people present are not afraid at all, even the most brave and calm people usually feel a little nervous, but when everyone sees Beitang Rong Du sat high on the horse, with a calm expression, he was inevitably infected, and naturally calmed down, but no one noticed that Beitang Rong Du's right hand was holding the rein tightly, because he was exerting too much force, The knuckles of the five fingers have turned slightly white, and my heart is not at peace.

But at this time, Beitang Rongdu was still calm on the surface, his handsome face was tense, and he was extremely majestic. Right now, he is sitting on the horseback very calmly, only speaking softly to everyone present. He shouted: "...you should encourage yourself! Fame is only obtained on the sword. After today, Gu and everyone will make progress and never retreat. If great things can be achieved, Gu will naturally enjoy fame and wealth like Er!"

Although these words are not out of the ordinary, they are still inspiring, and all the generals bowed one after another: "...the ministers are willing to die for His Highness!" Seeing this, Beitang Rongdu's tense face finally relaxed a little, and then gently He smiled, looked around and said, "...Go ahead!"

All the generals shuddered immediately, and then they all responded in unison. For a while, everyone quickly dispersed and set up their deployments. Beitang Rongdu smiled lowly, flicked his horsewhip in his hand, and led people away to the outer gate. Not long after, A group of people strode out of the East Palace and went straight to the Imperial Palace.

Coming out of the East Palace, there are still a few miles away from the east gate of the Imperial Palace. Since it is not far from the palace, there are not many pedestrians, most of them are officials and soldiers, etc. Many officials are either riding horses, or They were sitting in a carriage, and they all rushed towards the east gate, waiting to participate in today's court. At this time, seeing the prince's guard of honor coming all the way, they naturally retreated one after another. Beitang Rongdu was riding on a horse, and the refreshing morning breeze He rushed towards his face, blowing his long black hair, and there was a strange smile on his face.

Beitang Rongdu rode his horse along the road towards the east gate in a leisurely manner. The young man had a smile on his handsome face, and suddenly he lightly clenched the whip in his hand, looking up at the city wall in the distance, A row of imperial guards is lining up neatly on the city wall in front of the imperial palace, taking precautions, exuding a chilling aura. Beitang Rongdu is very clear about what he is facing today, but in fact, he cannot fully grasp the odds of winning. , and it is impossible to judge, at a little behind him, Mu Qinghan was riding a white horse, wearing black light armor, silently following Beitang Rongdu, and when he was very far away from the east gate. When approaching, Beitang Rongdu suddenly slowed down, lowered his voice and said to Mu Qinghan: "...Qinghan, go do what you should do, there is an orphan here."

When Mu Qinghan heard this, a complex look flashed across his solemn face. He took a deep look at Beitang Rongdu, and said briefly, "...don't worry." Beitang Rongdu took a deep breath, and lightly whipped the horse under his seat with the whip in his hand, speeding up, at this time most of the officials had already entered the door , Beitang Rongdu and his party came over, and the guards were magnificent. Since it was the crown prince's guard of honor, this journey was naturally a hundred bureaucrats. Most people retreated to the side, but there were exceptions. At the gate, a group of guards on horseback followed closely behind them, all of them angry horses in fresh clothes, like armor, at this moment, a group of people came forward from behind, the leading man raised his right hand slightly, signaling his followers to retreat, Speeding up and rushing to Beitang Rongdu from behind, Beitang Rongdu glanced at the other party, his pair of phoenix eyes were full of deep meaning, Yin Zhibai understood what he was seeing, and nodded slightly, Beitang Rongdu then The corner of his mouth was slightly raised, as if he was smiling, Yin Zhibai said meaningfully: "Don't worry, Your Highness, today's court will naturally have something that suits His Highness." After a pause, he continued: "It's just that things in the world are always difficult. Test, maybe there will not be only one voice, then..."

Beitang Rongdu suddenly smiled when he heard this, and said leisurely: "Gu has always been an arbitrary person, except for one voice today, Gu will never allow anyone to think otherwise!" This seems to be said casually , but the tone in his tone was full of arrogance and domineering, Beitang Rongdu's face also had an indescribably fierce look flashing past. At this moment, another group of people came from the south, and the north Tang Rongdu took a look, his brows raised slightly, and after a while, he approached twice, before the opponent could avoid it, Beitang Rongdu stopped his horse, and waited until there was a young man in purple robe and red crown in the team over there. It was Zhong Yu who rode up to meet him, so Beitang Rongdu smiled slightly, looked at him and said, "...You are here, so I can rest assured." Zhong Yu got hot in his heart, got off his horse and bowed deeply, saying : "As long as your Highness's affairs, I will naturally handle them properly, please rest assured, Your Highness." Between the two people's vague questions and answers, all the meanings were contained in it, Beitang Rongdu suddenly Jian laughed, speeded up and moved forward.

The outside of the main hall was already full of people at this time, and the honor guard team composed of eunuchs and internal guards was arranged in a specially cleared space, next to the officials and eunuchs who sang the ceremony, and the civil and military officials were arranged according to their rank and affiliation. The departments are divided into two rows, orderly and densely packed. Looking at it from a distance, it looks like a dark cloud overwhelms the city. Beitang Rongdu walked all the way, and all the officials bowed one after another. These civil and military officials had faces. With the same expression as usual, but the eyes of some of them faintly flashed a complex color intertwined with silence and anticipation. When Beitang Rongdu saw it, he knew it in his heart. All the officials around looked at it once, and walked to the front calmly, standing quietly with everyone, waiting for the grand dynasty. Now the sun has risen, and the whole scene is unusually solemn. Although there are many people, But no cough came out.

In fact, there are very few court meetings of this scale, and there may not be one in a season. Rather than saying that it is a court meeting, it tends to be a more formal etiquette event. Discussion of political affairs is often only secondary, and the main purpose is to Let the officials see the emperor, otherwise only ministers of a certain rank can participate in the court meeting on weekdays, and many officials cannot see Tianyan, so this kind of court meeting will give these courtiers a chance, but those who are above the sixth rank In theory, all officials can come to participate. At this time, the outermost circle is regulated by the endless guard of honor. The black habayashi guards are lined up, and the silver armor shines dazzlingly in the sun. , with a dagger hanging from their waists, all of them looked cold and solemn, showing royal majesty.

Just as the officials in the palace waited quietly to go to court, the Jingshi Street, which was originally peaceful and peaceful, suddenly became lively. It was still early at this time, and the shops had just opened to welcome customers, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. , but soldiers appeared from nowhere and scattered to the streets. The people nearby were taken aback when they saw this, and quickly hid in the nearest shop. Some peddlers also The stalls were closed in a panic, and soon, there would be no pedestrians on the usual busy street. Seeing this situation, some old adults suddenly felt tense, as if they felt something wrong. Dare to say something out of the mouth, I saw that there were constant soldiers on the broad street, and they were rushing to where they should go in an orderly manner under the leadership of their respective commanders. At the same time, there were many heavily armed cavalry. No one made a sound, only the occasional heavy breathing sound from the horses under their seats, but although these cavalrymen were silent, each of them exuded a fierce and fierce aura, obviously Not ordinary sergeants, these thickly armored cavalry on horseback wore bright red cloaks behind their backs, and red tassels of the same color were adorned on the tip of their helmets. Wherever they passed, the sound of horseshoes was heavy and orderly. A few knowledgeable people stared at these people outside through their windows, their hearts were beating wildly-these people were clearly the Six Rates of the Eastern Palace!

That's right, these cavalry units are the left and right commanders of the six ranks of the Eastern Palace, and they are troops under the direct command of the prince. At this time, the originally wide street has been cleared by the army, and groups of soldiers in bright armor are patrolling back and forth Then, there was a chilling air in it, and at this moment, a team came on horseback, the leader was a man with black armor, his handsome face was calm, his eyes were extremely sharp, and he said coldly: " ...Who is patrolling the streets in front?" As soon as the words fell, a young general about seventeen or eighteen years old quickly rode forward. …My lord, it’s under the bid!” Sitting on the horseback, Mu Qinghan couldn’t see any obvious expression on his face, he just said coldly: “Today, the security in the middle of the capital will be strengthened, and the whole city will be immediately put under martial law. If there is any change, I will I will send someone to convey it to you!" Meng Chunyuan heard this, and immediately said: "...The mark is clear, sir, don't worry!" He was already very clear at this time that the yamen responsible for the security of the capital must have been controlled by Beitang Rongdu. Once the martial law is issued, no one is allowed to go to the streets, and pedestrians disappear, but all people who go to the streets will be captured or even killed!

Seeing Mu Qinghan turning the horse's head and leading the people away quickly, Meng Chunyuan turned around and immediately ordered the team to patrol around to prevent anyone with selfish motives from taking the opportunity to make trouble. The city gate divisions began to close the city gates, and stopped people who were about to enter the city outside. Facing puzzled faces, the official answer was that the rebels had infiltrated into Beijing, so the city was arresting people by sea. , temporarily closing the city gate is to prevent people from escaping from the city, but this situation will not last long.Now that they got such an explanation, the people who went out of the city and entered the city had no choice but to calm down, or waited, or dispersed one after another. However, after so many things happened, a part of the forbidden army responsible for defending the imperial city unexpectedly There was no movement, just quietly guarding the gate of the palace... In the refreshing morning breeze, the whole Daqing held its breath at this moment!

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------

Shen Hanyan was awakened by a nightmare, he sat up suddenly, panting slightly, the white silk obscene clothes on his body were already soaked.

The young man was silent for a while, and the expression on his face gradually returned to calm. He got up and changed his clothes, and began to wash up meticulously. The expression on Shen Hanyan's face was calm. No one noticed that this middle-aged Mr. Li had regained his handsome appearance, turned into a young man, and quietly left the East Palace through a certain back door.

The sound of horseshoes resounded heavily on the street. The sergeants carried weapons to guard the whole city, and there was no one on the street. Shen Hanyan used his body skills to avoid everyone as much as possible, and sneaked into an alley, along the way. Cautiously avoided the patrols and came to a shop.Witnessing the changes in the city today, he didn't seem surprised at all, and he didn't even have the slightest expression of shock on his face, just because Mu Qingping, Yin Zhibai, Meng Chunyuan...he would always have a channel to know in advance that Beitang Rongdu general The big event that started today.

There was no one around for the time being, so Shen Hanyan took the time to knock lightly on the closed door four times with a certain pattern. The next moment, the door quickly opened a gap. When it was closed, a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper hurriedly said: "...Young Master, it seems that there has been a big change in the capital today. Looking at it, the Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace have already been released. I'm afraid it's... forcing the palace!"

Shen Hanyan's eyes flashed, his face was a little cloudy and uncertain, as if he didn't know what he was thinking about, but he said lightly: "I came here for this purpose." With an undisguised ruthlessness and excitement, he quickly said: "It's just the time for us to take action! Taking advantage of the chaos, master..." Shen Hanyan interrupted him, seemingly inadvertently said "...Father is still in seclusion?" The middle-aged man hurriedly replied: "Yes, the master hasn't come out yet, so the subordinates don't dare to go in and disturb them, otherwise they would have reported such important matters to the master." Shen Han smoked Nodded, suddenly smiled and said: "Very good..."

Before the words fell, there was a slight sound of "clang clang" when the sword was unsheathed. At the same time, a silver light suddenly flashed out, as fast as lightning, and disappeared in an instant. The middle-aged man's face was full of shock and disbelief , staring at the handsome young man in front of him with his eyes wide open, there was clearly a deep wound on his neck, and dark red blood was bubbling out from the wound, the middle-aged man subconsciously used Clasping his neck tightly with his right hand, his lips moved twice, as if he wanted to say something, but he was unable to do so. He let out a "ho ho" sound from his throat unwillingly, and finally fell to the ground, dying with regret, Shen Han Yan bit his lip slightly, with very complicated emotions in his eyes. He looked at the corpse on the ground with a certain warmth, and was speechless for a while. When he was wandering around with Beitang Rongdu, I don't know how many people have been killed and how many things have been done, but what he is going to do today still makes him feel unprecedented pressure, but Shen Hanyan's expression becomes firm immediately, and he puts the blood-stained sword on the corpse After wiping the clothes clean, he inserted them back into the sheath, turned around and walked into the house.

The atmosphere on the street outside was oppressive, and no one dared to step out of the house. In the backyard of the shop, a man in his thirties hurriedly opened a door, stepped into the room, and said, "Mr. The army is under martial law, we should also go..."

The words of the well-dressed man stopped abruptly, and he felt a sudden chill in his heart. He subconsciously touched the long knife at his waist with his right hand, and saw an old man with white beard and hair sitting on the short couch in the room, wearing a green robe, He was maintaining the posture of sitting in meditation, but it was obvious that this person had lost all vitality from top to bottom. His round eyes revealed strong unwillingness and shock, and his chest was soaked with blood. It was obvious that he was dead. At this moment, the man's hand had just grasped the handle of the knife, but at the same time, a silver light flashed from the side, and was just passing across the neck of the man in the costume. Like the old man, his eyes were full of unwillingness and shock, and then he fell to the ground slowly.

Not long after, Shen Hanyan came to a quiet room alone. He walked towards the west wall with a landscape painting, touched the wall a few times with his hands, and suddenly a secret door slowly opened on the wall. Han Yan walked in, and the secret door closed behind him again.

This is an underground tunnel. Shen Hanyan walked in it for a while, and came to a stone room surrounded by deathly silence. The young man stood outside the door for a while, but he didn't push the stone door open immediately. Complicated emotions flooded his heart like sea water. Shen Hanyan felt that he was trembling slightly, and even his hands were trembling imperceptibly. He took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart, let himself After regaining his composure, he stretched out a hand and gently pushed open the heavy door.

Shen Hanyan pushed open the door and walked in, with a calm expression on his elegant face, without showing any waves, the stone room is very elegantly furnished, complete with tables and chairs, Beitang Yu is sitting cross-legged on a low agarwood couch On the ground, his eyes were slightly closed, and the whole person remained motionless.

Shen Hanyan's body suddenly trembled slightly uncontrollably. Until this moment, he seemed to truly understand that this was his last blow. He once betrayed his favorite person, Beitang Rongdu, and now However, she wanted to betray her dearest person, Beitangyun again!Fortunately, Shen Hanyan immediately controlled himself, quickly stabilized his mind, and said: "...Father." As he spoke, he walked to the table, turned his back to Beitangyun, picked up the teapot, and poured tea into the cup. At the same time, a bit of colorless and odorless powder quietly spilled from the nails of Shen Hanyan's tail finger, fell into the amber tea, and quickly disappeared without leaving a trace.

Beitangyun slowly opened his eyes, he glanced at Shen Hanyan, and said in an indistinguishable tone of joy and anger: "...Why are you here? Didn't I say it a long time ago, I'm in retreat, don't come if you have nothing to do Excuse me." Shen Hanyan turned around, walked towards Beitangyun holding the teacup, handed the tea to Beitangyun naturally, Beitangyun took it, drank the tea in the cup, and saw Shen Hanyan An imperceptible light flashed in his eyes, and then he said softly: "...Since I'm here today, I have something to tell you."

Bei Tangyu raised his eyebrows almost imperceptibly, and said, "What's the matter?" Shen Hanyan suddenly smiled slightly, and said, "Father..."

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------

The whole capital city fell into a strange silence. Countless people were staying at home nervously, listening carefully to the movement outside. At this time, no one was in the streets or places, except for the soldiers around the waist. Carrying weapons and patrolling.

"...Master! Hurry up, hurry up...Master, something is wrong, something has happened outside, please hurry up and preside over it!"

On the big bed in the bedroom, a man about 50 years old was sleeping soundly. This man was Li Tai, Sima of the Ministry of War. He was recuperating in the mansion these days, so he didn't even attend today's grand dynasty. He always had strict rules at home. , but now there is a servant who dares to rush into his bedroom so recklessly. According to his temperament, I am afraid that this servant will inevitably be punished.

At this time, Li Tai was suddenly awakened from his sleep by the servant, and suddenly sat up from the bed, and sternly scolded: "...Bastard! Who told you to come in and make noise!" The servant knelt on the ground , said in a panic: "Master, it's already in chaos outside, it seems, it seems... It seems that someone has conspired against you!" When Li Tai heard this, he was shocked, and the remaining drowsiness had already flown to nowhere, and he instinctively He shouted in a deep voice: "Nonsense! You can talk about such things?" The servant said tremblingly: "How dare you talk nonsense, master, it's really messed up!" Li Tai felt awe-inspiring, and immediately He threw off the quilt and got off the bed, put on his coat and left. As he strode towards the door of the room, he shouted coldly: "...If you are talking nonsense, how can you be tolerated? I will definitely cut your tongue!"

However, Li Tai's face quickly changed in shock. His house was close to the city gate, and when he left the compound all the way, he could only hear a faint sound of horseshoes passing by outside. The sound was still ear-piercing. Lin Lin, Huo Ran quickened a few steps, and quickly came to the door to have a look. Although it was difficult to distinguish through the crack of the door, one could still see a group of people passing by the city gate. The red tassels on the helmet fluttered slightly in the wind, bright red like blood. In such a short time, this group of cavalry had already rushed westward, because they were galloping on the empty street, and the ground They are all bluestone roads, so these more than 100 riders galloped past together, as if there were thousands of horses and horses. It was so shocking that all the houses facing the street dared not even open their windows to take a peek.

Li Tai's face was pale and pale, and he murmured in an awkward tone: "The sixth rate of the East Palace...it's actually..." He couldn't believe what he saw with his own eyes, but Li Tai was not an ordinary person after all, he was born without a family background. The man from Zhabao, the old man who had followed Beitang Zunyue for decades, was shocked at this moment, but quickly calmed down as much as possible, and shouted: "...Come on, prepare your horse!" But countless thoughts have passed through: "Bring my saber! Gather people!" After he shouted, the servants in the mansion immediately got busy, and in a short while, Li Tai was fully dressed, slung on his waist. Changdao, summoned most of the guards in the mansion, and was about to go out and go straight to the yamen, and set up soldiers and horses. Li Tai looked solemn for a while, and ordered in a cold voice: "Hurry up! Open the gate!"

The gate opened slowly, but at this moment, a group of hundreds of cavalry came from a distance, the sound of horseshoes made people tremble with fear, the leader was a man with a white horse and black armor, his face was as cold as ice and snow, he raised his right hand for a while, behind him The cavalry suddenly spread out and surrounded them in a fan shape.

It was Mu Qinghan who came, and when he pulled the rein in his hand, the white horse stopped. Mu Qinghan looked expressionlessly at Li Tai and his party a few meters away, and said coldly: "... Master Li, the rebels are being arrested in the city, and no one is allowed to go out!"

Li Tai's face was ashen, he knew that he was not Mu Qinghan's opponent in terms of martial arts, and he didn't have the advantage in numbers at this time, so he couldn't get away anyway, so he just said in a deep voice: "Master Mu, the prince has always been blessed and honored No two... I never imagined that there will be such an extraordinary change today!" Mu Qinghan seemed to be completely incapable of hearing, and only calmly said: "...in accordance with His Highness's order, no one is allowed to go out, Mr. Li Please come back!" Before he could finish his sentence, all the cavalrymen on the scene slapped the ground and pulled out their weapons in unison.

Seeing this scene, Li Tai felt all sorts of emotions in his heart. At this moment, it seemed that he could no longer do anything. His face was alternately blue and white, but his eyes became sharper, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He had thought a lot in an instant, and finally heaved a long sigh, stared at Mu Qinghan firmly, with his right hand on the knife, and said word by word: "Where is Your Majesty?"

"...The emperor is naturally in the palace. Since your highness and the emperor are father and son, they are naturally safe with each other." Mu Qinghan said expressionlessly. After hearing these words, Li Tai's heart relaxed slightly, and he pressed it on the handle of the knife His right hand clenched tightly, and finally loosened slowly... Mu Qinghan made a simple gesture, leaving some cavalry around here to prevent Li Tai from getting away, while he led the others to leave quickly.

At this time, the wind suddenly blew up, and at some point, dark clouds gradually gathered over the capital, Beitang Rongdu raised his head to look at the sky, and murmured: "...Is it going to rain?" Suddenly there was a knock on the cloud board, drums and music, dozens of eunuchs and ceremony officials sang salutes in unison, and the palace door slowly opened, all officials immediately looked solemn, and began to quickly arrange their robes, Correcting his demeanor, Beitang Rongdu also took a deep breath, took the lead and walked in, followed by all the officials.
