Tibetan beads

Chapter 538
Of course the courtiers were not ignorant of such a big commotion in the palace.

From nightfall, soldiers and horses roared past on the street from time to time, revealing an unusual tension.All the ministers in the Zhengshitang felt bad, and tried to inquire about the news, only to find that the palace gate was locked.

If they still don't realize what happened at this point, then they will sit in court in vain.

After discussing it with several gentlemen, they decided to move the reinforcements and find a familiar commander of the Imperial Army.

But they soon discovered that this road was blocked, and all the thirteen guards of the imperial army were transferred out by Yan Cheng, and they didn't know where to find them.Some people had a brainstorm and went to the Chu State Duke's mansion, but unexpectedly the mansion was empty and the master was not there.

This time, their hearts were completely chilled.

"Chu Guogong ran away! It must be the news that I got in advance."

"East Palace, an hour ago, someone saw a large number of imperial guards dispatched from the East Palace."

"Is it the prince? Why?"

The princes are puzzled.Emperor Mingde only had two sons. King Jin was indeed powerful, but none of them came back yet, and there was no sign of seizing the heir. So why is the prince like this?
Furthermore, anyone with eyes can see how much His Majesty attaches importance to the prince, there is no reason at all!
"I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding? Maybe the crown prince is here to rescue him. Who knows why Chu Guogong ran away?"

You are silent.Although King Jin hasn't come back yet, who doesn't know that Princess Jin is also in charge of the army?She has always been the director of the Forbidden Army.

But if it is said that King Jin did it, there is the same problem.The fight hasn't even started yet, so why did it come to this point?You have to go through the process of seizing the heirloom, okay?

Whether it makes sense or not, it is a fact that there is something going on in the palace, so they still have to face a problem.

What will they do when the gate of the palace is opened?What if His Majesty doesn't hold on to the changing sky, what will they do?Is it surrender or remonstrance?
While thinking wildly, time passed by little by little.At Choushi, the rain was a little less, and the palace gate finally opened.

"Your Majesty has a decree to announce that all your lords will have an audience." The eunuch who delivered the message was someone close to Emperor Mingde, which made all the ministers overjoyed, and gathered around to ask questions.

"Eunuch, is Your Majesty safe?"

"Is everything okay in the palace?"

The eunuch had no joy on his face, and sighed: "Your lords will know when you go."

These words raised the hearts of the people again, braved the wind and rain and followed into the inner court.

The Zichen Hall was brightly lit, and the unusually dignified atmosphere made everyone aware of what had happened before. Fortunately, there was no such extreme situation as corpses lying on the ground, which slightly eased their emotions.

However, the sudden cry of pain made them startled. Following the sound, the palace was in a state of chaos, with palace people carrying things in and out, and women's low cries and voices could be heard from time to time, and there were still waiting outside. imperial physician.

"What's going on?" they couldn't help asking, "Who got hurt?"

"That's not true." The eunuch replied calmly, "It's Princess Jin who is giving birth."

All the ministers looked at me and I looked at you, with surprise on their faces.They know that Princess Jin lives in the palace, but this is Zichen Palace, it is impossible to arrange the delivery room here, so...

Before they could think too much, the queen came out from the side hall.

"I've seen my lady." The princes saluted.

The queen's face was not very good, she nodded: "My lords, your majesty is inside, please."

The faces of all the ministers became subtle. I heard that His Majesty was ill a few days ago, but now I can't get out of bed?

They entered the bedroom quietly, and the palace man raised the bead curtain in front of the bed to let them see clearly what was going on inside.

Fortunately, Emperor Mingde was awake, leaning on the head of the bed and taking medicine, but his face was really ugly, his lips were blue, he didn't have the previous heroism.

All the ministers bowed down: "See Your Majesty."

"Get up." Emperor Mingde waved his hand.

When they got up, he raised his chin to the side, and then the chief housekeeper told what happened tonight - erasing the part of his life experience.

This is really surprising, and some people can't help but wonder why the prince would do such a thing.

Emperor Mingde said lightly: "I suspected that he had done something wrong with the military supply case earlier, and he thought I was going to abolish him." Speaking of this, he impatiently said, "I have a headache, and this rebellious son is locked in the front hall. What will happen next?" It will be handled by the prime minister."

The queen wept and said: "Your Majesty drank that bowl of medicine, and the imperial doctor took half an hour to save him. You must not work any longer."

The ministers were startled.It's so serious, Your Majesty has been fighting for many years, and his body has always been strong. If the treatment is not timely, wouldn't he even die?

The prince usually looks gentle and diligent, how could he do such a rebellious thing?Killing the father and the king is not a law of heaven!

The head servant added: "Princess Jin noticed the abnormal movement and rushed to rescue her. Then she became pregnant and had to give birth on the spot. I hope that the Bodhisattva will bless the little emperor and grandson to be born safely."

Having said that, the ministers have no doubts.Look at the appearance of the empress, and look at the situation of the concubine Jin. If the prince really gets the job done tonight, he will be taken away. The king Jin, who is on his way back to the court, may not even be able to enter the capital.

Prince... I really can't tell.

After explaining the important matter, Emperor Ming De waved his hand: "I am powerless, I will leave the rest to you."

All the ministers bowed and said goodbye.

Before going out, the Queen stopped the Prime Minister: "Your Majesty has already said, tell him to go back to Tongyang to repair his ancestor's grave, you... don't humiliate him."

After speaking, she wept again, and all the officials felt sorry for her.

After all, it was his own child who did such a thing and still kept his face.Prince, oh...

However, ending like this tonight is already the best result.As long as His Majesty is still there, the situation will not be turbulent.Although the crown prince is deposed, there is still King Jin.If the concubine of Jin gives birth smoothly, the Yan family will continue to have children, and there will be new hope.

Perhaps God heard their prayers, and a baby cry sounded.

The queen stopped, and Emperor Mingde looked up.

Under the gaze of many eyes, the door of the side hall opened, and Po Wen came out to announce the good news: "Birth, the princess is born! It's a little grandson, mother and child are safe!"

Following these words, Zichen Palace, which had been dull all night, came alive again, the haze receded, and smiles returned to everyone's faces.

I don't know when, the night rain stopped, and there was a glimmer of light in the sky, and it was dawn.

"Let's call it Tianming." Emperor Mingde looked out the window, "The name is Qi."

Kai, open also, the beginning of a day.

All the courtiers understood what he meant, and no one raised any objections.

There is no doubt that the crown prince was defeated, and the king of Jin will take the throne.

Furthermore, Princess Jin came to rescue her with such a big belly, which can be learned from loyalty and filial piety.This child landed safely, which is a symbol of auspiciousness, why don't you let the emperor favor some?

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Linzhi is auspicious."

"Congratulations, empress, children and grandchildren are around your knees."

"Congratulations, Princess, you are blessed with a son."

　After the plot is written, there are some endings.
