In the Privy Council, Wang Pu looked at the rain curtain outside the window and was silent for a long time, turned around and said seriously to Wei Renpu: The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and billions of common people in the Great Zhou Dynasty have reached the critical moment. You and I are in a position, and we must take responsibility and not cause chaos in the world!
After hearing this, Wei Renpu looked swaying and clasped his fists and said: I must stay in the Privy Council and do it with caution.
The two of them looked serious in their words, as if countless feelings suddenly surged.
Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains Empire, which was once incomparable, gradually became riddled with holes and became worse day by day. Hu Yi took the opportunity to rise and fall of the Central Plains regime, and the situation since the Jin Dynasty was even worse.
When the Zhou Dynasty arrived, there was a bit of hope for a revival, but when I was not careful, no one knew where the country's fortune would slide and whether it would fall into turmoil again.
At this time, Wang Pu took out a piece of paper from his sleeve bag and handed it over: I drafted a defense deployment for the gates and cities inside and outside the capital, but just slightly adjusted the existing garrison. Deputy Envoy Wei saw if there were any omissions.
Wei Renpu took it, thought carefully, and said: The official praised the princes and princes for being talented. Since it was made by the princes and princes, he must have considered it carefully.
Since that's the case, I sent this defense map to Jinxiang Palace to take a look.Wang Pu said, you and I will separate our responsibilities.Deputy Envoy Wei stayed at the Privy Council and sent someone home to inform him, so he would not go back soon.
Wei Renpu responded.
Wang Pu returned the gift, turned around and left without looking back.Wei Renpu watched him go out, stood in front of the window again, watching Wang Pu walking quickly to the road outside the official office with a few people with an umbrella.
In Jinxiang Hall, Chai Rong never got up again after he was bedridden.
When the eunuch Yang Shiliang saw Wang Pu, he whispered: The official family is still sober, but he usually doesn't speak.It is best to guess what he means and say it in front of the bed. If it is right, the official will nod.
Wang Pu asked: How is the dragon body like yesterday?
Yang Shiliang shook his head: The miscellaneous family asked if he would eat porridge, but the official family just shook his head... The prince came here for himself, come with me.
The two of them walked directly behind the main hall, one in front and one behind, and then to the door of a palace. They saw many palace maids and eunuchs standing inside and outside.
There were even imperial guards under the eaves on the south side. Military academies would definitely not have come to these places in the past.
When they crossed the threshold, Wang Pu felt a smell of medicine coming, and then he heard a heavy sigh from time to time, as if he was having difficulty breathing.
Yang Shiliang stretched out his arm, pressed his hand slightly down, and signaled Wang Pu to stand at the door first.
Then the eunuch Yang Shiliang walked to the front of the collapse of the emperor and stood for a while. He heard him ask in a low voice: Officials, the Privy Councilor Wang Pu asked for a meeting, do you want to see him?
After a while, Yang Shiliang turned around and waved to Wang Pu.
Wang Pu stepped forward to perform the bowing ceremony, and the eunuch asked to go aside and said softly: The official knows that you are respectful and want you to get up and speak.Then he said, "Prince, you have to get closer and don't speak too loudly."
Wang Pu stepped forward as he spoke and said: Your Majesty, I thought about it. The headquarters of the Palace Front Department and the Guard Department have not been transferred for a long time. I always feel that I need to make a little adjustment.I have discussed a piece of stuff with Deputy Envoy Wei. Do you want to hear it?
Chai Rong closed his eyes, nodded slightly, and stretched out his hand slightly from the quilt and waved it gently.Although they were all small moves, everyone's attention was on the emperor, so they saw it clearly.
So Yang Shiliang called his left and right to retreat, leaving Wang Pu to speak in a low voice in front of the bed.Finally, Chai Rong nodded and responded to the arrangements of the Privy Council.Wang Pu bowed and retreated, and called Yang Shiliang and other eunuchs forward.
At this moment, Chai Rong suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the roof in a daze.Seeing this, Yang Shiliang hurriedly bowed and stood in front of the collapse, paying attention to whether the emperor's bloodless dry lips had moved.
After a while, Chai Rong suddenly said: I'm sending an order... I'll ask the queen to come... to stay in Jinxiang Palace.
The slave obeys the order.Yang Shiliang hurriedly bowed and said.
Chai Rong sighed and stopped talking.
……
Guo Shao returned home first. Although the imperial edict was to leave the capital immediately, he had to arrange his followers; in addition, wasn’t Zan Jurun still wanted to be a military supervisor?
At that time, Zan Jurun did not receive the imperial edict on the spot. After he received it, he would send someone to contact him. It would take time for everyone to work together on the itinerary.
Of course, if the queen had been seriously ill at the beginning, Guo Shao would not have even had any movement to get up after returning to the mansion.
Zuo You followed him into the living room of the front yard, then covered the door and immediately said: You must not go to Huashan, otherwise if there is any change, it will be too late to come back.
I know.Guo Shao nodded.
Zuo You pondered: It’s okay for Zan Jurun to say that he brought several people, we all have a number of people.However, Zhao Kuangyin will pay extra attention to this matter. He should send someone to stare along the way... Otherwise, find someone to pretend to be an assassin and make some trouble on the road, and the lord takes the opportunity to get out...
This is not the best strategy.Guo Shao said, I am going to find pills for the emperor and bring guards with me. If I was assassinated, it might be Zhao Kuangyin's people's actions. Once we claim to be an assassin, Zhao Kuangyin knows that it was not his doing, so he can be sure that we were cheating and he will be alert.Maybe when I want to quietly touch Tokyo, my people will be discovered by his people on the road or in the city... But if there is no better way, this cannot be considered an option.
Guo Shao pondered for a moment: Is it eight hundred miles from Tokyo to Huashan?
Zuo You said: It’s almost the same, eight or nine hundred miles away.
Guo Shao's palm rubbed his forehead: If you want to rush back to Tokyo quickly, you can only walk on the post road to ride a fast horse and change horses in the post house.This is too easy to expose...the weather is not good these days.
Zuo You was also at a loss: Do you want to go to Huashan first, and then leave the brigade and rush back immediately after entering the mountain?
I thought so.Guo Shao said, but this is more risky.
Just then, someone knocked on the door.Zuo You got up and opened the door, took a reply letter and handed it to Guo Shao.When Guo Shao saw it, he hurriedly said: People in the palace... go and bring him in and get an umbrella.
Guo Shao walked out of the door and waited under the eaves. After a while, he saw Zuo You bringing people.Zuo You didn't enter the house, and Guo Shao welcomed the person into the hall. Sure enough, it was the eunuch Cao Tai.
After meeting, Cao Tai looked around and immediately said in a deep voice: The Zajia came to the scene to bring a message to the empress.The Empress said that General Guo would stay in Tokyo without any worries.He paused and whispered, "The official family is bedridden, and the queen is worried that something may change at any time!"
Guo Shao said: I know... He walked two steps and asked again, "Did you bring me if you asked Eunuch Cao to take it for me last time?"
It must have been brought there.Cao Tai said.
Guo Shao pondered for a moment and said: This time you went back to see the queen, remind her to think about that sentence more.
Cao Tai looked puzzled and recalled: General Guo has a wish and wants to see the queen again?
Guo Shao refused to comment and said: Just remind the queen and you can do it... Are you not afraid of being caught when Eunuch Cao returns?Some people don’t care about this situation at the moment.
The two of them seized the time, each speaking one by one, speaking very quickly and their tone was very nervous, so they didn't have time to think about it.Cao Tai said: The family has prepared for a long time, General Guo is relieved.
Guo Shao said: Let’s change someone later, I will send someone to your carriage; you can go to the small door over the kitchen.Take off your clothes later.
After hearing this, Cao Tai nodded and said: It's okay... By the way, the family can't see the queen now.
What?Guo Shao was immediately surprised.
Cao Tai said: Just before coming, the empress was taken to Jinxiang Hall by eunuch Yang Shiliang, which means the official family.The queen was only allowed to take a few palace wives who were with her, and the eunuchs were not allowed to go there... At the moment, Yang Shiliang and several other eunuchs were in charge of the Jinxiang Palace, and there was also an army of the East Third Team.Now the miscellaneous family can't get in, so they can only stay in the eunuchs and leave their fate.
This... Guo Shao frowned for a moment, his face looked very ugly. Is the queen in danger?
Cao Tai said: Probably not.The queen guessed that the government was guarding against someone who could be with the little prince in a hundred years, so the queen had to be the most appropriate.But now the official family is very suspicious. He needs the queen to help him, but also fears that he will be held hostage behind the bed.So it became like this.
It's no different from house arrest.Guo Shao said.
Cao Tai said: That's right. Now the people in the palace are panic, and the important people are near Jinxiang Hall. After saying that, he glanced at Guo Shao. The words of the Za Family had already been brought. Now General Guo said nothing to the Za Family... The Za Family could not see the Queen. Say goodbye.
Guo Shao suddenly said: Then what else did Eunuch Cao go back to do?
Cao Tai was suddenly asked and said to himself: Yes, what else can the miscellaneous family go back to do? But the Miscellaneous Family is a castrator, where can I go if I don’t go to the palace?
Guo Shao said: You just stay in my house.
Cao Taimo kept silent, as if he had responded silently.
As a eunuch, only being a eunuch can reflect value.
But in this situation, if the queen fails, Cao Tai will definitely not have a good ending, and it will not be worse if he stays outside.
Guo Shao said: I was inconvenient to say something just now, because I was afraid that if you were caught and the secret was leaked.Now Eunuch Cao doesn’t go anywhere, just stay in the mansion... Now I’ll ask you, do you remember the garrison and defense conditions of the palace gates everywhere?
Cao Tai said: Of course, I remember that there are a few people from the Mid-League who are still working as employees. Now the inner palace is in a mess, and no one has time to take care of changing people to work again.Yang Shiliang and others were busy serving the official family in Jinxiang Hall, and they didn't know how to take rats.Besides, even if you want to deal with the people from Wang Zhong and Wang Ji'en, the queen is still the queen or the little prince's mother. Who can't get along with the queen's people now?
It makes sense.Guo Shao said calmly.
Cao Tai suddenly came to his senses and said in a daze: What does General Guo want that thing to do... What does General Guo want? !
The murderous aura on Guo Shao's face was crazy and he said coldly: Whatever Zhao Kuangyin wants to do, I want to do!
Cao Tai suddenly shook his body, his face turned pale, and he didn't speak very easily: What do Zhao and Zhao Kuangyin want to do?
After hearing this, Wei Renpu looked swaying and clasped his fists and said: I must stay in the Privy Council and do it with caution.
The two of them looked serious in their words, as if countless feelings suddenly surged.
