Chapter 446
Liang Bin said: "Then let's go into the hall and wait. It's not good to have so many adults standing in this courtyard, and the weather is so cold."
Eunuch Lu smiled and said, "Concubine Liang, just wait for a while, don't worry? If you feel tired, I will order someone to move the chair out."
Liang Taifu said to Liang Concubine: "Just wait a moment, the emperor is familiar with bathing, at most half an hour, this half an hour, you can wait."
I have been waiting outside the palace for so many hours, do you still care about this half hour?
Eunuch Lu went in with a smile, and when he turned around, a servant came out with a chair and warmly offered hot tea.
The cold wind was blowing, and although it was not a severe winter, it was still very cold.
Moreover, it rained again a few days ago, and the temperature dropped a little. Just now, people were excited outside the palace, but they didn't feel cold, but now they sat down, and the cold was overwhelming.
The prince seemed very anxious, pacing back and forth, but the Tai Tuo was very calm and composed. The matter has come to this point, and the end is obvious.
There are two possibilities in his mind, one, if Murong Jie tricks them, they will be ambushed and killed in the palace, the emperor is absolutely determined not to see them, he will not show others with ghost faces.
The second possibility is that the succession of the prince will be announced immediately, and the enthronement ceremony should be carried out as soon as possible.
Now that the gate of the city is closed, even if Murong Jie wants to mobilize troops, it will not be easy, because, with his people guarding outside, no one in this palace can get out of the palace gate.
However, Chen Taijun and others outside had no military talismans and could not mobilize the soldiers in the battalion.
The Shangshu of the Ministry of War also ordered people to closely monitor them. Once they dispatched troops, they would be killed without mercy.
Judging from the cards, he has an 80% chance of winning.
"Teacher, now it seems that Murong Jie is procrastinating on purpose." Zhang Yushi said.
Zhang Yushi originally had no position, but he was invited to discuss the matter. Hearing the crown prince and Concubine Liang say that the emperor has a ghost face sore, he has to perform his duties. He is an official who supervises the emperor and the courtiers, and the emperor has a ghost face. The sores are the failure to implement benevolent government, which provokes the wrath of God and punishes him.
In fact, today he faintly noticed that something was wrong, but this kind of straightforward person only accepts death, if he sees that the emperor is really a ghost face, he will plead for the people.
He now thinks that Murong Jie is delaying, not the emperor, why doesn't Murong Jie let everyone see the emperor? It is to maintain his position as the regent, the emperor will not abdicate, and the crown prince cannot ascend the throne, so he is still a regent with an extremely human subject.
As a supervisory censor, he was extremely dissatisfied with Murong Jie's hegemony, so this time he was used by Taifu and others.
Liang Taifu said: "Be safe and don't be impatient. After an hour, the army will attack. At that time, no matter how much Murong Jie does, it will be useless."
He had just calculated that there were seven hundred imperial guards in the palace, and one-third of them belonged to him. In addition to his 3,000 troops outside, the odds against Chen Taijun and the others were enough. If you can't come, the situation will be settled.
With Taifu Liang reassuring, everyone waited patiently.
After waiting, half an hour has passed, but there is still no movement in the inner hall.
Zhang Yushi asked the forbidden army at the gate of the palace, "Go in and ask, can the emperor summon us?"
The imperial guard said indifferently: "If the emperor wants to summon him, he will naturally order someone to come out to deliver a message, just wait."
"We came in by order. The emperor just wanted to take a bath and change clothes. Why did it take so long?" Zhang Yushi asked displeased, not because he was displeased because he had to wait, but because of the tone of the forbidden army when he spoke to him. not good.
Thinking of him monitoring the censor, no matter the emperor or the officials, who would not be polite to him? Why didn't this nameless imperial guard neglect him so much, why not make him angry?
"The emperor is sick now, let alone half an hour, sometimes two hours may not be enough to get better."
Zhang Yushi was full of anger, but couldn't vent it, so he had to go back and wait resentfully.
After waiting for another half an hour, an hour has passed since entering the palace.
Mrs. Liang was sitting on the chair, tapping on the armrest of the chair with his fingers, his eyes were cold.
He had told General Qian that if there was no news within an hour, he would attack immediately.
He calculated that it would take about half an hour to deal with Chen Taijun and Xiao Houye's soldiers.
But after waiting for another half an hour, the sound of any swords, guns, swords and halberds could not be heard.
Mrs. Liang felt bad, could it be that thousands of people can't deal with hundreds of people?
Of course he didn't know that from the moment he entered the palace, Lord Xiaohou had captured General Qian, captured the thief and captured the king, and captured General Qian.
The Taifu only counted the strength of the troops, not counting the outstanding skills of Lord Xiaohou and the others. It is easy to capture a general.
Seeing that an hour and a half had passed and no one had come in, the Tai Tu knew something had happened.
His complexion changed slightly, and he stood up and said: "Since the emperor is ill, let's not disturb the emperor's recuperation, go back first, and come back another day!"
The prince was taken aback, "Will you wait?"
Concubine Liang also knew that the situation was not good, and said: "Your father is not feeling well, so don't go in and disturb him, let's go."
After finishing speaking, he lowered his voice and said to the prince: "Go quickly, something is wrong."
The prince was a little surprised, "What's going on?"
"Let's go!" Concubine Liang said sharply in a low voice.
The prince became angry when he saw his mother. Although he was unwilling, he had to obey.
However, as soon as they turned around, they saw that the gate of Xiwei Palace had been closed, and more than a hundred archers descended from the sky and landed on the palace wall.
"Teacher, since you're here, don't be in a hurry to leave!" Murong Jie came out of the hall with a hearty laugh, his hands behind his back, and the bright lanterns reflected his usual cold face, but now there was a playful smile on his lips. smile.
Taifu Liang turned around slowly, staring at Murong Jie steadfastly, it would be really stupid if he didn't know that he was designed by now.
"Your Majesty is very scheming!" Mr. Liang said with no expression on his face.
"Scheme?" Murong Jie chuckled, "What's the plan? This king is here to wait for the sick, the emperor said he wants to see you, no, he is taking a bath, he is almost ready, he came out to inform you, but he didn't expect you to go."
"The people outside my palace are all under your control?" Taifu Liang asked coldly.
"No," Murong Jie shook his head, "Your people are still outside safe and sound, but someone came in to report just now, saying that General Qian has some personal grievances with Lord Xiao, and now Lord Xiao is holding them in his hands. Besides, Sun The father-in-law also went out to tell them that the Taifu is having a good talk with the emperor, so they don't know how relieved they are right now."
Liang Taifu said sadly: "So what? The emperor has a ghost face sore, and I won't let everyone see it today, but I will see it in the future. If you want to cover the sky with one hand and deceive the people of the world, I'm afraid you can't."
Murong Jie was stunned, and said slightly annoyed: "Who told you that the emperor suffered from ghost-faced sores? Do you also believe this rumor? This king really overestimated the grand master."
The prince yelled: "Don't pretend to be a ghost, I and the queen mother have seen it with their own eyes, and the father is a ghost face sore."
"The crown prince and Concubine Liang have indeed been here, but the emperor is just suffering from tuberculosis, why did he have sores on his face? The rumors among the people are spread by the prince. In this way, a large group of you did not enter the palace to visit the emperor, but Are you going to force the palace?"
Murong Jie's last words slammed into everyone's faces with icy shards in between.
