After being examined, Liu Mingzhi and his party were respectfully invited into the city.
"Du Yu, take the brothers to the Ministry of War to report the number of people. I and the third princess will enter the palace first."
"I have the order, but my lord, what is the safety of you and the princess?"
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the busy streets around him: "Under the emperor's feet, there is no need to worry about my safety. You can report it without worry!"
"Got the order!"
"Brothers, follow this general to the Ministry of War."
Du Yu took fifty soldiers to the Ministry of War, and the three princesses, Liu Dashao and Princess Liu, rushed towards the palace without stopping.
Commander Jia watched everyone entering and exiting the palace in a serious manner. When he saw someone coming on horseback, he immediately started to stop them: "Dismount the person, no one is allowed in the palace... It turns out that Duke Dingguo has arrived, please."
After returning from the Western Expedition, Young Master Liu was given the honor of riding a horse in the palace by Li Zheng himself, an honor that he would not bow to when he saw you. Everyone in the court knew about this.
Liu Mingzhi nodded silently to Commander Jia. There was no time to exchange greetings with this old brother, so the three princesses rode directly towards the harem.
In the past, even though Liu Mingzhi had this honor, he never rode into the palace on horseback, but in today's situation, he had no choice but to act recklessly.
The two dismounted and walked quickly towards the Qinzheng Hall. Song Qingzheng led hundreds of imperial guards with swords to guard outside the hall.
"Brother!"
"Third brother, you are finally back."
"How is Father's dragon body doing?"
They have already arrived at the palace, and the third princess has already noticed it. In my place, the third princess will always use a well-behaved appearance to cover up her original Hui Zhilan heart.
Since the third princess already understood, Liu Mingzhi had no reason to hesitate and asked Song Qing directly.
Song Qing was stunned for a moment, looking at the third princess on the side with some hesitation.
The third princess looked at Song Qing with a pale face: "Brother, just say it, my sister-in-law has already been mentally prepared. You are the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards, and no one knows my father's situation better than you."
Liu Mingzhi also echoed anxiously: "Yes, brother, in this situation, why do you still have any hesitation? Just tell me."
Song Qing looked back in the direction of Yu'an Hall in the harem: "Your Majesty is currently in Yu'an Hall, and he is extremely ill."
The third princess, who said she was mentally prepared, trembled when she heard the news, her face turned pale and she almost fainted.
Liu Mingzhi hurriedly helped the third princess: "Yan'er, are you okay?"
"Husband, I'm fine, let's go to Yu'an Palace quickly."
"Okay, I will help you over now, please slow down."
Song Qing stopped Young Master Liu with a troubled expression: "Brother, Heavenly Sword!"
"It's your duty, brother, don't blame me!"
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, casually took off the Heavenly Sword and threw it away, and the Heavenly Sword landed steadily on the arming stand.
"Brother, my younger brother and Yan'er will go in first!"
"Wait a minute, the weapon on the back has to be removed. Now no piece of iron is allowed to enter the palace. This is His Majesty's will."
Liu Mingzhi raised his hand slightly to reveal one end of the weapon wrapped in brocade cloth on his back. The four-character inscription on the Imperial Golden Whip was clear and dazzling: "Brother, this is a weapon given by your Majesty to meet unexpected needs. It is not a piece of iron." within."
Song Qing nodded silently. He already knew in his heart Liu Mingzhi's intention of beating the emperor's golden whip on his back.
"Come in quickly!"
"Brother, goodbye!"
After saying that, he helped the third princess and walked towards Yuan Palace.
After passing the Qinzheng Hall, you can see a group of officials wearing various official robes. Outside the Yuan Hall, it can be said that there are crowds of people and a cloud of sadness.
All the officials had a look of pain on their faces, and they were not interested in every word. They looked at the door of Yuan Palace with worried eyes.
"Your Majesty has spoken, and General Six Guards has come to the palace to see you!"
Mr. Fu Hai stood at the gate of the palace and shouted loudly, Zhang Kuang, Dongfang Ming, Yunchong, Wan Mingliang, Lu Chengjie, Nangong Ye Liuwei and General Wuwei guarding the border immediately walked out of the crowd and rushed towards the palace.
The third princess' pretty face turned pale, and her white palms tightly grasped her husband's wrist: "Husband, let's go in quickly."
"Yan'er, please wait a moment. My father must have his intentions in summoning his ministers one after another. We can't get in now, so just wait patiently!"
"How can I feel at ease!"
"Yan'er, the more flustered you are now, the more anxious you are. Your father must be fine now that he has summoned General Six Guards. Please wait a little longer!"
"Okay, I listen to you!"
The third princess was confused when she was concerned. She slowly calmed down and thought about it for a moment, and realized that what her husband said was right. Now she would definitely not be able to enter Yuan Palace.
However, the third princess thought for a moment: "Husband, I will go to my mother's house first. When I summon you, you can ask the eunuch to inform me."
"I understand. Is your health okay?"
"I'm fine, I'll go ahead."
After saying this, he hurried towards the harem without waiting for Young Master Liu to react.
Liu Mingzhi had no choice but to focus his attention on the door of Yuan Palace again.
There are a group of familiar old people, and there are also a group of unfamiliar young officials.
The six ministers were still familiar to him, but the subordinate officials below him were replaced by people he was not familiar with.
The left and right prime ministers are still strong and have not returned to their hometowns. Especially the left prime minister Wei Yong seems to be even more energetic. Thinking of his third uncle Ling Daoming, Liu Mingzhi stared at Wei Yong silently for a moment and moved his eyes silently.
On the military attache's side, Wan Buhai has passed away, and now the leader is Yunyang, Duke of Jing, whom he is not familiar with, and two old people who are idle at home, who are both the Dukes of the country but have never seen him before.
There are also many new young faces in Jiusi. During his tenure as the governor of Yingzhou and Fuzhou, it seems that the changes in the court have changed a lot.
I don't know how long it took, General Liu Wei walked out of Yuan Palace with a melancholy expression.
"His Majesty ordered that the Duke of Jing, Yunyang, and the Duke of Cheng, Qin Qingzhong... enter the palace."
Liu Mingzhi straightened his robes and was about to walk towards Yu'an Palace when he suddenly realized that among the names that Eunuch Fu called out, there were only the three Dukes of Jingguo, and it seemed that there was no one named Liu Mingzhi, Duke of Dingguo.
Afraid that he was too far away to hear clearly, Liu Mingzhi hesitated and walked towards the palace door, looking at Fu Hai with a calm expression: "Eunuch Fu, can I go in?"
Fuhai looked at Young Master Liu respectfully and shook his head: "My lord, your majesty didn't let us send you a message. Please wait a little longer, maybe your majesty has other intentions!"
Liu Mingzhi glanced in the direction of Yuan Palace, but could see nothing except layers of gauze curtains.
Liu Mingzhi nodded helplessly and retreated towards the court pillar on the side: "Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch."
Seeing Young Master Liu coming forward, those who were familiar with him saw the current Dingguo Duke at a glance, while those who were unfamiliar with him quietly asked the old man beside him who was this young man with a handsome and resolute face.
Why is His Majesty's personal servant guarding the palace gate so respectful to him?
After learning the identity of Young Master Liu from the old man's mouth, many young officials looked at Young Master Liu with admiration. This was the leader of the group, Duke Dingguo.
They are similar in age, and he and others are still wavering in the fourth and fifth ranks, but he is already the governor of two palaces in the second rank of the Duke's family of the same rank.
It's really irritating to people.
There are those who admire you, and there are those who look weird.
Many old foxes squinted their eyes and stared at Young Master Liu who was waiting by the palace door and began to speculate.
Among the five great princes, Duke Wu died of illness before he returned to court during the Northern Expedition. Now there are four great princes, but His Majesty only summoned three of them, and left Duke Ding aside.
Could it be that this young and talented Duke Dingguo is really going to lose his power?
Young Master Liu, who was originally fine, became nervous when he noticed the complicated looks from the civil and military officials.
His thoughts are the same as those of many officials.
Could it be that the father really wanted to isolate himself for the sake of the prince?
For a moment, Mr. Liu's thoughts were complicated and unbearable.
It was comparable to Duanlang's complicated mood when he ascended the throne.
