King Xiu did not flinch: "Father, Ayou has a strong temperament and is not softer than ordinary women, but what she thinks and does is for the common people of the country. Please be merciful and spare her the death penalty."

"Ahem, cough, cough, are you forcing me?"

A group of people quickly knelt down: "I don't dare."

"What are you afraid of? If you really think about me, you won't disturb my rest!" Emperor Xingyuan was furious and drove the ministers out while coughing.

Meng Jijiu and others gathered outside the palace gate and did not leave.

"It seems that I am determined to give him a hard time."

After hearing Meng Jijiu's words, the Minister of Hubu whispered: "Is it because you are ill and not sober?"

Meng Jijiu and Xie Zhangyuan both looked at him.

The Minister of Revenue looked wary: "You two won't complain, right?"

Meng Jijiu sighed: "At this time, Yu Shangshu should stop joking."

"Do you two think it is possible like what I said?"

"Even so, what can we do?" Meng Jijiu smiled bitterly.

It cannot be said that the emperor is ill and confused now, and his decree will not count?
The emperor is not unconscious. He just met with civil servants and military officers. It would be an offense to say so.

Xie Zhangyuan, who had been silent all this time, gently stroked his beard and looked in one direction: "Supposedly, the eldest princess Zhaoyang should have received the news. Why is there no response?"

Princess Zhaoyang's love for Xinyou was seen by all the ministers, and they couldn't help but feel weird.

At this time, Eunuch Li Wei was confronting Concubine Xian in Ganquan Palace.

"Xianfei, this slave is acting under orders. I hope you will cooperate."

"Eunuch Li is acting under orders, and I dare not interfere. But you and these eunuchs are going to search Ganquan Palace to the ground. I cannot accept it. Thanks to the great love of the emperor, I have entrusted you with the responsibility of taking care of the harem. Eunuch Li is like this Where will this put my face?"

Concubine Xian refused to let Li Wei search her, because she felt it was a loss of face, and she was the head of the current concubines in the harem. If she let these servants search the palace easily, the other concubines would be even more helpless.

By then, Xin You might not be able to hide it anymore.

Although Concubine Xian had a good plan, Li Wei didn't buy it at all: "The Emperor said that Xin You must be found, and no one can stop him. Concubine Xian, your dignity can't be greater than the emperor's order, right?"

"Eunuch Li!" Concubine Xian's expression suddenly changed, and she was so angry that she couldn't believe it.

Even if Li Wei is a great eunuch, he is nothing more than a slave to the royal family. He is so arrogant now. If he doesn't give her a little face as a concubine, will he not consider the future at all?

Or, the emperor's health was much worse than everyone thought - Concubine Xian still felt strange when thinking of this possibility.

Even in the worst case scenario, this Daxia is still the Chen family's Daxia, and Li's only slave cannot make a difference.

"Xian Fei, please give way." Li Weiwei winked, and a group of internal servants swarmed behind him and searched everywhere.

Concubine Xian stood aside, her face ashen.

After rummaging around, I found nothing.

"Mother Xian, please excuse me."

Concubine Xian gritted her teeth and said, "I will ask the Emperor."

"Concubine Xian, please do as you please." At this point, Li Wei didn't even bother to say any kind words, and turned around and left with the servants.

Concubine Xian thought for a while and walked out quickly, not to Qianqing Palace, but to Cining Palace.

Li Wei led a group of servants to search the next palace. Feng Nian, the commander of the Jinlin Guards guarding the palace, suddenly received an emergency report. "Sir, the soldiers from the Princess's Mansion have surrounded the Feng Mansion!"

Feng Nian's head felt as if he had been hit by a hammer. He was blank for a moment, and then he couldn't believe it: "Princess Zhaoyang?"

"Yes, it is Princess Zhaoyang who is leading the troops!"

"Is she going to rebel?" Feng Nian has not recovered from the strong sense of absurdity.

Whether it was his house or someone else's that was being surrounded, this was the capital. How could anyone dare to launch an army privately except at the emperor's command? Even Princess Zhaoyang, the emperor's biological sister, was charged with rebellion.

"Sir, Princess Zhaoyang is leading the soldiers to forcefully enter the Feng Mansion. You must make up your mind as soon as possible!" The one who ran out was a steward of the Feng Mansion. He was out of breath from running all the way and was about to cry when he said this.

Feng Nian did not bother to analyze the daring actions of Princess Zhaoyang, fearing that the young and old in the mansion would be killed by the other party, so he asked his subordinates to guard the palace gate and led a team of Jinlin guards to Feng's mansion.

The Jinlin Guards are one of the imperial guards and are the main force guarding the palace. They are also responsible for protecting officials and nobles from bandits. Feng Nian led the guards to prevent Princess Zhaoyang from using private soldiers to besiege Feng's mansion. He was not afraid of being blamed.

And just when he mobilized the Jinlin Guards, a firework exploded in the air.

Outside the city gate, a dark crowd of soldiers approached the city gate, so frightened that the gatekeeper officials hurriedly lowered the gate.

"Zhao Feifan, the commander of the Xiajing camp, is following the instructions from my superior to lead his troops into the city to capture the thieves!"

The official guarding the city took a closer look at the man downstairs. He was undoubtedly the commander of the capital camp, but he did not dare to let him go, and then carefully checked the handwriting.

He didn't know whether the handwriting on the handwriting was written by Emperor Xingyuan, but the seal representing the emperor's deployment of troops was correct.

There was no problem with the handwriting, and the leading general knew him well, so the city guard officials opened the city gate to let him go according to the rules.

It was not yet dark at this time, so many guards entered the city, and the people ignored their curiosity and hurriedly avoided them.

The soldiers entering the city were divided into several teams and quickly headed to different destinations, while the Jinlin Guards led by Feng Nian rushed to Feng Mansion.

At this time, Feng's Mansion was under the control of the soldiers of the Princess's Mansion. The house was in a mess and the cries were loud.

Feng Nian looked at the eldest princess Zhaoyang, who was dressed in military uniform, with a pale face: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess sent out private soldiers to cause rebellion?"

"Committing rebellion?" Princess Zhaoyang smiled coldly: "Feng Nian, you are the one causing rebellion, right? I want to ask you, who is pretending to be the emperor in the palace?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in Jinlin Guard.

Feng Nian's expression changed and he said loudly: "The eldest princess Zhaoyang intends to rebel. Her nonsense is disturbing the morale of the army. Take it down immediately!"

It is easy for the soldiers of the Princess's Mansion to control a mansion like Feng's Mansion, but they are incomparable to the elite Jinlin Guards in terms of numbers and equipment.

In Feng Nian's view, this was a fight without any suspense.

And just when the Jinlin Guards surrounded the soldiers of the Princess's Mansion, more guards came like a tide, sandwiching the Jinlin Guards led by Feng Nian with the soldiers of the Princess's Mansion from a mile away.

Feng Nian saw the sudden appearance of the guard whose expression changed drastically, and he recognized the leader at a glance: "Liu Zhen?"

Liu Zhen is the deputy of Zhao Feifan, the commander of the Beijing camp, and he is also a worthy figure.

"I am hereby issuing an edict that Feng Nian, the commander of the Jinlin Guards, has colluded with traitors and intends to rebel. He orders the Imperial Guards to enter the city and capture the thieves!" Liu Zhen raised his edict and shouted loudly.

Most of the Jinlin guards who really worked for Feng Nian were left in the palace by him in order to control the situation. Although the Jinlin guards who came now also listened to his words, most of them had never thought of rebelling.

Liu Zhenliang issued a decree, and the Jinlin Guards, who were guarding Feng Nian in the middle, were immediately in chaos.
