Added one more chapter to show my appreciation!

The morning of the seventh day of December in the 50th year of Longwu was not the day for the imperial meeting.

In the ancestral system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, every five days, the "Yumen listened to the government (Dachaohui)", but today all the officials in Beijing gathered in front of the Daming Gate, and even many old, weak, sick and disabled who were only qualified but never entered the palace appeared. In the team, although the sparrows were as silent as before, most of them were "eyebrowing" everywhere abnormally, because the situation in the palace today is obviously different.

"Why are they all replaced with gunmen and there are so many more?" Unlike most officials who only dare to make eye contact, the five remaining bosses at the front obviously don't have so many scruples. Wen Fu, the Minister of Household Affairs, has a serious expression. After looking at it for a while, he said, "They are all subordinates of that General Zhou. If they didn't know the situation, someone might misunderstand it."

"Lord Wen, do you know why we summoned all the officials today?" Yu Chong, who still had the title of Minister of Civil Affairs, frowned and asked, "According to the rules, someone will send possible matters to our house before the meeting, but There was a strict curfew yesterday and I didn’t get any news, how about you guys?”

Wen Fu, Liang Bo, and Shen Chu all shook their heads in confusion. Then the four of them looked at Niu Jizong, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, who was opposite, only to find that he was also looking around with a blank expression. He obviously didn't know anything. The four people's brows The wrinkles became tighter.

Suddenly, the officials at the end of the queue seemed to explode, and all kinds of voices sounded loudly, and there was no sign of restraint. It was not just them. As time went by, the voices of the speakers slowly spread to the front row, and the collective voice became louder and louder. So much so that the entire Daming Gate was bustling like a vegetable market, and even the severe cold of the twelfth lunar month washed away a lot.

"How decent is that?" Yu Chong shouted angrily, but found that no one paid any attention to him. He subconsciously turned around and looked over, and then his eyes widened as well, because the situation was too special!

Groups of soldiers and horses with military uniforms and cotton-padded clothes of the same color as ordinary officers and soldiers, but with different styles strode over from the Imperial Palace East Road. They were the firearms soldiers who suppressed the rebels at Tanzhe Temple. These people completely regarded the officials on the scene as if they were nothing. , marched neatly to the West Road Courtyard of the Imperial Palace, or the Dragon Head Palace area. In the blink of an eye, there were thousands of people, and there was even a long line of artillery at the end!
"This—" Wu Qiqi's face changed regardless of the papers at the scene, because everyone can guess the purpose of these soldiers and horses, and they also understand that this is the new emperor who is about to enthroned. He said something strange, "How could there be such blatant truth in all dynasties? Are you really not afraid of the history pen as a knife?"

Only this time, no one answered the other three people. History is like a knife?It depends on whether the historian has the courage to learn from Sima Qian. The most important thing is that the Supreme Emperor opened the mouth first, and he is at most a "latecomer". What is there to worry about?Emperor Yonghe directly put his life on the line, so why not allow his son to take revenge?
What, they are all one family, three generations?Li Shimin didn't want to speak, he just shot a powerful arrow at you.

"This kid is too courageous. If we have to reuse him now, everything will be easy. Once he is no longer needed, I'm afraid his fate will be unpredictable." Liu Fang looked at the general who had reached his goal with a look of emotion on his face. The soldiers and horses who were arranging the team said, "They are all the best soldiers. What a pity."

"Brother Niu, you really dare to take action, call all the civil and military officials, and do such a heavy blow in front of you?" Chen Ruiwen didn't mention a word about his "favorite student", and said with a solemn face to the Daming Palace, "What if? It’s fine if we succeed, but what if we fail? Even though that old boy Feng Tang is naughty, he is still very good at training troops.”

"He is already moving now!" Niu Jizong looked at the front line from a distance with a complex expression.

"Bang bang bang—" Sure enough, three dull loud noises completely stunned everyone!

Less than fifty steps in front of the gate of the West Road of the Imperial Palace, two artillery units and 24 infantry cannons were lined up in a row. The black muzzles of the guns pointed directly at the courtyard wall, exuding terrifying pressure like wild beasts, which made the defending imperial guards all They were frightened, and their faces were pale even though they were holding steel knives and spears. Although they did not participate in the battle during the Third Grade Incident, they had all heard and even seen with their own eyes the power of guns and artillery. It was simply beyond human power. Fortunately, they did not attack directly.

The main hall and study room of Longshou Palace.

"Girl Xuan, you have chosen a good husband!" The Supreme Emperor picked up the tea bowl with emotion, took a sip and then put it down gently. However, he did not show any nervousness at all, and was still thinking about teasing his little daughter, "If he takes action directly, Even if I were defeated, I would take him down with me; but he was very smart and fired the cannon, but it was an empty cannon."

"Father, how can he be as good as you said?" Princess Yongjing, who had not left the palace for a long time, blushed and gave her old father a light blow and said, "You said you wanted to keep your father safe, but outside, He was shooting and setting off firecrackers, so my daughter went out and grabbed his ears and told him to go back and rest!" "Okay, I didn't say he did anything wrong." Hearing that it was quiet outside, the Supreme Emperor waved his hand indifferently , "Kaier has always been close to Wu Xun and has not much friendship with those poor people. I once thought about teaching him well, but unfortunately I couldn't do it. He is a little reckless, but at least he is better than your fourth brother in one way. He is really courageous. Move it, and move it very quickly.

With these three blank cannons, plus what happened on the third night of the third year of junior high school, it was enough to scare the crap out of their courage at the door. If there were another round later, the only thing left to do would be to send someone over to collect the weapons, and then the next step would be to That's the real thing - okay, don't let him waste any more time. Xuan Yatou, go in person. Go to the Daming Palace and ask your wife-in-law and Kai'er to come over. Well, call the one at the door. "

As soon as he finished speaking, another round of cannons rang out outside the courtyard, this time a total of nine cannons.

"Father, don't worry, my daughter will go right away!" Princess Yongjing nodded, stood up and helped the pale female officer next to her to go out, "Sister Bao, don't be nervous, Brother Zhou can still hurt us?"

"That's what the princess said." Xue Baochai, who entered the palace for the first time in her life, was really nervous!

She was originally a female official under the name of Princess Yongjing, but she had always stayed in the palace of Princess Yongchang. Princess Yongjing had never really allowed her to enter the palace to serve her. But on the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the morning after the incident, , Princess Yongjing specially arranged for someone to take her to the palace, without even saying hello to Princess Yongchang.

"Your Majesty, here it is!" Seeing Princess Yongjing going out, Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of the Dragon Head Palace, respectfully held a brocade box and placed it in front of the Supreme Emperor.

"It's really a girl who doesn't want to stay." The Supreme Emperor sighed, gently opened the brocade box, and looked at the contents with a look of reluctance, "It's a pity, if I am 20 years younger, no, even if I am ten years younger How could I be where I am today? My companion, do you think I am really old?"

"My lord, as the saying goes, 'a life of seventy years is rare'." Xia Shouzhong replied with a smile.

"Okay, you old guy, you are two years older than me, aren't you still alive and kicking?" The Supreme Emperor interrupted him angrily. It was obvious that the two of them were very close, "Okay, this is the only way. Let’s meet the husband Xuan’er has chosen and see if he can be used. My daughter-in-law deserves to be born in a family with a history of poetry and calligraphy that has been passed down for thousands of years. She is really the best choice for her mother in the world!”

"Your Majesty, I'm going to make a pot of tea right now." Xia Shouzhong bowed and said.

"Put my favorite Dahongpao on, bring it over when it's [-]% cold." Taishanghuang nodded, leaned slowly on the recliner, without saying a word, just waved his hands, and soon the entire study room was emptied .

Outside the gate of the West Road Courtyard, Zhou Yang simply set up a tent, which was regarded as the "Chinese Army Tent". Its function was to block the wind. He sat casually on the Taishi chair, but did not send anyone to collect it as the Emperor expected. Weapons of the Royal Forest Army, but flipping through "Li Wei Gong's Questions" nonchalantly, not forgetting to take a sip of tea from time to time.

"Brother Zhou!" Just as he was thinking about something, he saw a group of eunuchs coming out of the gate. When they arrived at the tent door, they opened the curtain. A soft sedan was carried into the curtain and lowered until the people around were cleared. Only then did Princess Yongjing jump out of the sedan chair with her mouth pouted, and caught someone with a hammer, "You are so brave, you even dared to fire a cannon in front of the royal father's gate!"

"Brother Zhou!" I don't want to think that another person got out of the sedan chair, and the gentle and pretty face was already raining. If it's not Xue Baochai, who else?
"You girl, are you still worried that I will harm you?" Zhou Yang laughed dumbly, stood up and took the "hostage" Xue Baochai into his arms, and then gently knocked Princess Yongjing on the head, "If I really have the courage , and it won’t just be firing cannons. You will understand what happened today even if I don’t tell you. Since the empress and His Highness have set up such a large formation, they can only invite the Supreme Emperor to conduct a military parade. Is it possible that they will actually take action? "

"The same goes for the emperor's sister-in-law. She said she loves Xuan'er before, and she won't let her look good for a while!" Princess Yongjing was dissatisfied and drove away someone who was rubbing her hair. "Really, we are obviously a family, but The trouble has reached this level, Fourth Brother, Brother Zhou, please promise Xuan'er not to do anything again, okay?"

"Silly girl, where do I have the guts to launch an attack on the Supreme Emperor?" Zhou Yang replied angrily, which made Princess Yongjing laugh, "Okay, you didn't come out for me, right? Whatever you have to do, go now - Wait, go on your own and leave the hostages behind!"

Princess Yongjing smiled triumphantly, tiptoed to give someone a mark, then turned around and returned to the soft sedan to leave.
