Gou Hongxuan narrowed his sharp eyes.
"How is your Majesty's health now?"
Pressure, like a mountain of pressure, suddenly fell on Eunuch Li.
"Your Majesty has the prescription from Dr. Su, and his health has improved a little! But..."
"but what."
Gou Hongxuan raised his head slightly, looked at the majestic red city wall that was more than five feet long, and spoke slowly.
"If we keep waiting here, the Zajia family really can't predict what happens in the palace..."
Yes, the new emperor is still there, and his name is justifiable. If the new emperor is... Even if the poisonous snake that lurks around the emperor, Concubine Lin, is solved, I am afraid that other monsters and monsters will also appear. These old fritters who are in the officialdom are all Not something to be fooled with.
"Cheng Mang!"
A short man wearing only a night uniform appeared from behind Gou Hongxuan. Eunuch Li took a deep breath. He didn't notice the other person's aura at all. He was also a second-grade martial artist after all. One was worth ten, so there was no problem. No, but this man looked short, but his aura was as incomprehensible as the vast sea of smoke.
"If the city gate does not open on its own within five breaths, I will give you five breaths to open the city gate!"
"Got the order!"
The man called Cheng Mang knelt down and held his breath in his heart. His five breaths were up and he was about to display his martial arts on the city wall. Gou Hongxuan called him out to intimidate the people behind him and let them know his background. It's not just a decrepit old body.
"General, you have such great authority. Are you trying to break into the palace of the emperor and his concubine? What do you mean? Seeking power? Or usurping the throne?"
No one appeared yet, but a voice that everyone present must be familiar with resounded through everyone's ears, and then the sound that came in was the sound of horse hooves.
Gou Hongxuan's hands behind his back were pressed down slightly, Cheng Mang focused his eyes, mouth and nose, bowed slightly, then lowered his figure and disappeared into the vast night.
Gou Hongxuan twitched his lips and said jokingly: "What a big hat! Lin Guozhang! Regardless of my intentions, you, Lin Guozhang, are quite capable of fighting!"
Lin Zhangwen's clothes are a little thin, but the thick fat covering his whole body is better than the large cloak embroidered with green pythons to keep out the cold. The jade belt is buckled with the jade Pisces jade pendant given by the current emperor, with fourteen raw jade embedded in it, neatly arranged. , standing straight on Lin Zhangwen's belly.
Behind Lin Zhangwen were first a line of more than thirty soldiers with swords and armor, and later, more than twenty cavalrymen with long bows and silver spears in their hands. The bright torches reflected the red light on their swords, and they were looking towards the four directions. Scattered around, filled with murderous intent.
As soon as the two met, they became tit-for-tat, and everyone was not surprised. They were incompatible in the court. If the emperor's body was somewhat overwhelmed by the three thousand beauties in the harem, then the mental torture was caused by these two hands. Civil and military officials with real power.
Everyone tacitly agreed and made a way out. Now it was no longer a place for people like themselves to talk. Eunuch Li recognized the situation and stepped back half a step.
"The general is joking. I saw that you came here with bad intentions, so I summoned some people temporarily to see what kind of monsters you are doing in front of the queen in the middle of the night!"
In the current situation, Li Quan was completely on Lin Zhangwen's side, but Gou Hongxuan could not argue. The other party only brought fifty or sixty cavalry. This small amount of troops could not be said to seize power by force. Bringing civil and military officials himself was a bit of a push for the emperor's palace. the meaning of.
A dignified-looking civil servant in the crowd wearing a ribbon crown looked at the disheveled military attache beside him and snorted softly, thinking in his mind: These men are still suitable for fighting the enemy on the battlefield, but they can't compete with their mouths. The three-inch tongue and sword of us cultural people.
Eunuch Li had been silent before, but now he knew that if he didn't bring the matter to light, Gou Hongxuan's temper would soon lead to a fight. When the time came, no one would dare to fight against these two landowners. The civil and military officials around him were in a state of panic.
"General, let the Za family explain the reason to Lin Guozhang."
Gou Hongxuan waved his hand forward. He knew clearly that Li was not on his side now. If he didn't come up with something real, he might not be able to control the python in front of him. He had to hand over his trump card first. Gou Hongxuan Xuan regretted not taking the military advisor that Suluo Mai had personally traveled dozens of miles to invite from his thatched cottage.
Eunuch Li took a step forward with a sense of sacrifice.
"This is to inform the emperor, the Za family has received news that someone is going to do harm to the emperor who has not recovered from his dragon body, so he invited the general."
Even though it was already known to everyone, Eunuch Li still didn't want to break his face here, so he vaguely mentioned "someone". Lin Zhangwen's face was not red, and his heart was not beating, because he had guessed the other party's words.
"Oh? Is there a thief who is harmful to me today? Eunuch Li, just tell me who he is! I will lead people to eliminate the gang of thieves immediately!"
It’s really a thief’s cry to catch a thief! Not all those who can hang out in the officialdom are covered with layers of masks, but those who are extremely shameless like Lin Zhangwen are really rare.
"This..." Eunuch Li didn't know how to respond for a moment. When both sides were in a stalemate, bursts of hearty laughter came from not far away.
"Interesting! Interesting! Are you singing a big show here? It's so interesting! What are you performing? Nine sons seizing the throne?"
The source of the laughter was none other than Zhu Houyi, the late emperor's younger brother and the new emperor's uncle.
All the civil and military officials were panicked. Why did the most important figures in the entire dynasty come here in one night? Normally, mornings are never so neat. If the other two troublemakers come closer, things will really change.
When everyone saw the person coming, they all bowed their hands and shouted: "Your Majesty!"
Eunuch Li bent down and bowed tremblingly, wondering in his heart: He obviously didn't notify the prince, why did he come too? Gou Hongxuan was not so respectful and just raised his hands in gesture. Lin Zhangwen didn't need to use any etiquette and just nodded slightly, but the smile on his face weakened a bit.
"What kind of wind is this that brings you here, my lord?"
Zhu Houyi had his hands on his hips, and he only had three or four personal followers behind him, as well as a thin man in a green-brown gown. The latter was holding a paper fan that was not suitable for the cool autumn weather.
"The autumn wind is very cold. I am concerned about the safety of the emperor's dragon body, so I specially sent people from the Western Regions to bring some precious treasures for body warming. I heard that if they are placed in the palace, the house will be as gentle as spring."
Lin Zhangwen smiled but said in agreement: "The prince is still thinking about the emperor! It is really the luck of the dynasty to have a relative like you by the emperor's side!"
After saying these words, some military attachés couldn't help but shudder.
