"Dong dong dong..."
When the war drums of the Huangzhou Palace sounded in front of the East Palace Gate, the entire imperial capital was shocked!
Who dares to start a war in the imperial capital?
All of a sudden!
The imperial capital city defense troops all climbed onto the city wall, each one as if facing a formidable enemy, and spies were dispatched both inside and outside the city.
The East Palace was built next to the palace, so when the war drums beat, the Imperial City Defense Army thought something was wrong with the palace!
at this time.
The city defense army general stared in the direction of the palace and said with a gloomy face: "Come here, send spies to the palace to investigate and find out what is going on?"
"yes!"
At this time, the deputy general of the city defense army came forward and said with a worried look: "General, the sound of war drums is ringing from the imperial city. Can you understand this... someone is launching a mutiny!"
The general of the city defense army gritted his teeth and pulled out an order flag: "Come here, pass the order. While the whole army is on alert, dispatch three thousand troops and horses to follow me to the palace to see if there is a mutiny in the palace!"
"yes!"
At this time, the deputy general of the city defense army came forward again and said: "General, be cautious, so I admire you!"
"If there are really rebels attacking the palace, and the general leads the army to quell the rebellion, it will be a rescue effort. From then on, the general will rise steadily and become the pillar of the imperial court!"
When the generals of the city defense army heard this, their hearts were filled with excitement!
"Be fast!"
However, the deputy general of the city defense army said again: "But general, mobilizing the army for no reason without the emperor's order... is a capital crime!"
City defense army general: "..."
This guy said both good and bad things!
What a fucking talent!
He took a deep look at the deputy general of the city defense army: "How about this, in order to prevent the thieves from cooperating inside and outside, I will be here to take charge!"
Then, he said in a solemn voice: "Deputy Commander of the City Defense Army, listen to the order!"
The deputy commander of the city defense army was a little confused: "The general is here!"
The general of the city defense army said with a half-smile, "I order you to lead three thousand soldiers and horses of my headquarters to patrol the imperial city. If there are any thieves causing trouble, they should be put down immediately!"
"yes!"
The deputy commander of the city defense army accepted the order reluctantly, feeling as sick as if he had eaten a fly.
He was in a very unhappy mood!
You've gone too far!
Let the fire burn you!
However, the commander of the city defense army was happy!
If there is no trouble in the palace, and if the emperor blames the Imperial City Defense Army for deploying troops without orders, the blame will fall on this "smart" deputy commander.
However, if there is indeed trouble in the palace, the great success of the imperial capital city defense army in quelling the trouble will also fall on his commander.
This plan to kill two birds with one stone is perfect!
He is so smart!
at the same time.
All the great nobles, aristocratic families, dignitaries, and powerful men in the imperial capital were alarmed, and private armies came out of the palace one after another and headed towards the East Palace!
Their thoughts were the same as those of the commander of the Imperial City Defense Force.
If there is a chance to save the driver, the credit must be obtained.
If nothing happens, then nothing happens.
but.
Sima Jian and Li Jian had more ideas.
at this time.
The commander of the imperial army in the palace was also shocked. He rushed out of the duty room and shouted: "Where are the war drums sounding?"
"have no idea!"
The guards on his left and right were also confused: "General, the sound of war drums seems to be coming from the East Palace."
A flash of horror flashed in the eyes of the commander of the imperial army, and he murmured: "The East Palace is right next to the palace. In other words, the sound of the war drums comes from outside the palace...Is someone going to attack the palace?"
As soon as he said this, the guards on his left and right were shocked and said in unison: "Mutiny!"
The commander of the Forbidden Army said with a solemn expression: "Send the order, all the Forbidden Army will go to the imperial city and prepare to meet the enemy!"
"Come here, check quickly!"
"yes!"
"Let's go! Follow me, commander, to see what happened?"
"yes!"
Suddenly, throughout the imperial city, the Imperial Guards mounted the walls one after another, nocked arrows, drew bows, and showed off their swords and guns, preparing to repel all invading enemies!
Especially on the imperial city near the East Palace, there were even more troops gathered, as if facing a formidable enemy!
at this time.
In the Gushan Palace.
Emperor Xia, who was accompanying Concubine Qin, was also shocked!
He listened carefully and frowned: "It's the sound of the war drums of the Huangzhou Army!"
Concubine Qin's pretty face was full of nervousness: "Your Majesty, did something happen to Xiao Jiu?"
Emperor Xia frowned, his eyes flashed with wisdom, and he asked calmly outside the door: "Where are the war drums of the Huangzhou Army ringing?"
Outside the door, a bloody slave appeared: "Reporting to Your Majesty, coming from the direction of the East Palace!"
Emperor Xia's brows furrowed even more tightly: "East Palace Gate?"
"yes!"
"Is the East Palace related to the murder of Ye Mansion?"
"Xiaojiu wants to break into the East Palace?"
Although Emperor Xia didn't see it with his own eyes, he guessed what happened: "Wait a minute! The urgent report is coming!"
"My beloved, don't panic!"
"You'll know what's going on right away!"
After half a stick of incense.
"Urgent report..."
A young general of the Forbidden Army rushed into the Gushan Palace, knelt outside the door and said: "Your Majesty, the King of Huangzhou led the Huangzhou soldiers to form a military formation in front of the East Palace. They were confronting the guards of the East Palace. The Huangzhou army beat the war drum and intended to launch an attack on the East Palace. attack!"
"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions. Will the Forbidden Army step in to stop it?"
Emperor Xia's eyes lit up: "This war drum beats a stick of incense, but there is no cry of killing, and there is no flames of war. The Huangzhou army did not attack?"
The Imperial Army messenger shook his head: "We haven't launched an attack yet!"
"Hahaha......"
Emperor Xia smiled!
His brows stretched, and his eyes were full of relief: "Your Majesty, this guy Xiaojiu is following me, he is smart!"
"He knows that without my will, attacking the East Palace is equivalent to rebellion!"
"So, he made an attack posture, beat the war drum and told me that he found out that the East Palace was related to the Ye Mansion extermination case. However, he did not have my will, so he could only put up a search posture, but he could not actually invade. Donggong, what should I do?"
Concubine Qin's pretty face was full of doubts: "Tian'er didn't send someone to deliver the message?"
"Hahaha......"
Emperor Xia smiled even more happily: "My beloved concubine!"
"The sound of his war drums is the message he preaches!"
"He believes that I can understand what he means, so there is no need to send a message!"
Concubine Qin's long eyelashes trembled slightly, her face full of curiosity: "What if Your Majesty doesn't understand?"
Emperor Xia solemnly said: "Then I will give him a warning!"
"Then he will follow this order, voluntarily resign as the right prime minister of the imperial court, and return to Huangzhou to continue to take care of his refugees and Huangzhou, regardless of whether I and the imperial court have any money to use!"
Concubine Qin couldn't help laughing and smiled warmly: "You two father and son..."
The words have not yet been finished!
Emperor Xia was in a good mood and said, "We, father and son, have a tacit understanding!"
"My beloved, please take your medicine carefully. Xiaojiu's antidote is a good preparation. Taking it will weaken the poison!"
"In order to prevent Xiaojiu from giving up, I decided to go to the East Palace to see it myself!"
Concubine Qin held Emperor Xia's big hand with her backhand and said pitifully: "Tian'er has been neglected and looked down upon in the palace since she was a child. Now that she has returned to serve in the court, I hope your majesty will take more care of her!"
"Why......"
After hearing this, Emperor Xia said a little guiltily: "Yes!"
"I have treated him badly!"
"However, my beloved, please rest assured, I will treat him well in the future."
After saying that, Emperor Xia stepped out of the Gushan Palace.
Concubine Qin stared at Emperor Xia's back and murmured: "I hope what you said is true..."
Then, her lips moved slightly, as if she was saying something?
However, there was no sound in the house, and the situation was a bit strange!
After a stick of incense.
In front of the East Palace Gate.
The war drums of the Huangzhou Army were still beating.
The Huangzhou Army was still confronting the East Palace guards.
Xia Tian and Prince still stared at each other, neither showing weakness nor giving in to each other.
beside.
The Imperial City Defense Army, the Imperial City Patrol Army, experts from the Criminal Department, experts from the Imperial City Department, guards from various palaces in the Imperial Capital, and private troops are all watching the fun!
As expected, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers!
As soon as the King of Huangzhou entered the imperial capital, he dared to surround the East Palace with troops. How brave he was!
However, it seems that the King of Huangzhou does not dare to actually attack the East Palace!
But now he is riding a tiger and can't get off!
How will this end?
Let the war drums continue to beat?
at this time.
"Squeak..."
I saw the gate of the imperial city wide open, and the commander of the imperial army led the masters of the imperial army into the field, shouting: "Your Majesty is here!"
After a while.
Emperor Xia appeared in the scene, with an expression on his face as if he were watching a show, and said with a half-smile, "Interesting!"
"Are you two brothers going to fight?"
"Then let's get started!"
"Whoever wins, who will I reward?"
"Whoever loses will be punished by me?"
For a while.
The whole audience was shocked!
What is the emperor doing?
The direction of this matter is starting to get weird...
