Rebirth of the second ex-husband

Chapter 197
In the imperial palace in the early morning, the sun has not yet risen, the huge palace and the empty square look deserted.

Along the way, the eunuchs and court maids saw that the queen mother was following the eight commanders besides the eunuchs and maids, and avoided them from a distance. The long-term sensitivity of the palace people made them feel that something unusual was about to happen.

The Empress Dowager came rushing with a group of people, but they didn't meet a single inner court guard along the way, which made them feel quite strange.

Although there are only 500 guards in the inner court, these people are the guards who guard the gates of the palace on a daily basis and are responsible for daily patrols in the palace.

Usually this time should be the time for patrolling, so why is there no one there today?

The empress dowager was scheming and seemed to have noticed this, but at this time, the arrow had to be fired, and even if the emperor was prepared, so what, the troops in her hands could still fight.

When the queen mother came to the emperor's bedroom, she saw that the palace doors were closed and there were no guards or eunuchs. The queen mother couldn't help being very surprised. As a result, she murmured in her heart, wondering if the emperor was in the bedroom.

One of the commanders, looking at the Queen Mother's face, hesitated for a while, and went to knock on the palace door, but there was no response.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the queen mother again, only to see that the queen mother showed no expression on her face and didn't stop her. The commander fixed his attention, pushed both hands, and the door opened in response to the sound.

Everything in the room has a panoramic view, only the light in the room is slightly dim, but the tables and chairs are in order, without the slightest clutter, it looks like a normal family, and they tidy up the house before going out.

The empress dowager was startled, looking at the situation, the emperor probably knew about it, probably already prepared?The Empress Dowager's eyes sank, and she ordered: "The Eight Commanders listen to the order, immediately search for the emperor's whereabouts, and lead people to guard the passages around the Taimiao!"

The eight commanders have already felt that the situation is unusual, but at this time everyone is in the same boat, no matter what they say, they can only move forward, but no one thought that the house leak happened to be raining overnight.

The Empress Dowager had just issued an order, when a spy reported to the Empress Dowager: "Report, Empress Dowager, the virtuous king led the troops to approach the imperial city, and General Wei Qi's whereabouts are unknown!"

The Empress Dowager was even more astonished, the first sentence was thought of by her, and the latter sentence made her feel uncertain. The Empress Dowager was a little panicked for a moment, gathered herself together, and shouted: "Go to General Wei Qi quickly and tell him to lead troops to block it. Wise King!"

The incident happened so suddenly that it completely disrupted the Empress Dowager's plan. Now the emperor is gone, and the virtuous king has already approached the city outside. The Empress Dowager gritted her teeth and ordered to look for the whereabouts of the emperor, and rushed to the Taimiao with the eight commanders.

This Taimiao is the family temple of the royal family. When the queen mother went to the emperor's palace, the prince also went to the Taimiao to prepare for the sacrificial ceremony.

I saw the flags fluttering in front of the Taimiao, and the civil and military officials, kings, grandsons and generals stood neatly in front of the Taimiao.

On the sacrificial table, the heads of sheep, cows and pigs are neatly placed.

The prince wore a bright yellow prince's dress, with a son-mother sword hanging around his waist, and accompanied by guards, he came to the Taimiao.Because the father is seriously ill, the person in charge of the sacrificial ceremony is the crown prince's Taifu Shen Qing. b
The grand ceremony was solemn and serious. First, the Taifu read out a long sacrificial article, then the prince bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and then the priest presented the crown prince with a silver plate, and the Taifu put the crown on the crown prince instead of the emperor.

Among them, the addition of officials is the climax of the crowning ceremony. There are so-called "levels" in the crowning ceremony. The officials holding the clothes and crowns are lined up one by one. ".

Of course, someone had already drawn the step shape on the ground, and Yousi only needed to stand on the step tray and hold the crown one by one.

The prince stepped forward, and the deacon shouted, "Chujia."

The prince's Taifu went to the front of the primary stage, and put on the prince's scarf, deep clothes, big belt, and shoes for the prince in turn.

The deacon shouted again: "Add more."

The prince and Taifu stepped forward one step, and put on the hat, shirt, leather belt and shoes for the prince in turn.

The deacon shouted again: "Three plus."

The prince Taifu went up one more step, followed by the prince Futou, the official uniform, the leather belt, and the boots.

After the three additions are completed, it is considered to be the crown.

After crowning the crown prince, perform three worships and nine kowtows to offer incense to the ancestors. After these are done, the grand crowning ceremony of the crown prince will be considered complete.

After the ceremony, all civil and military officials congratulated the prince and knelt down to salute.

Just as the civil and military officials knelt down, countless soldiers suddenly poured into the Taimiao and surrounded the civil and military ministers.The faces of the civil servants changed in surprise, and they avoided one after another. The generals drew their swords to deal with it. Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what happened?

When everyone was astonished, a group of soldiers separated to leave a path, and then the Queen Mother led a large group of soldiers and horses into the Taimiao.

The Empress Dowager climbed up to the sacrificial platform of the Taimiao Temple and looked down at all the civil and military officials who were still in shock. Her eyes showed stubbornness and domineering, and she said loudly: "Someone in the palace rebelled. , this palace will temporarily take over the power until the emperor finds it."

Civil and military officials saw that the queen mother was accompanied by the eight commanders of the palace, their hearts were bright, and they guessed that the queen mother probably wanted to take advantage of this to take power, but they dared not speak out.

There was a complete silence on and off the stage, which was so frightening. Grand Tutor Shen has always been upright. Seeing the Empress Dowager blatantly seizing power, he couldn't stand it any longer. He stood up and asked the Empress Dowager sternly: "I would like to ask the Empress Dowager, how does the Empress Dowager know that the whereabouts of the Empress are unknown?"

The meaning of these words is obvious. If the Queen Mother hadn't searched for it, how would she know that the emperor's whereabouts were unknown?Obviously, the queen mother led the troops first, which violated the ancestral system.

Of course everyone heard the implication, the queen mother secretly thought that Taifu Shen is really an old fox, a smelly and hard old fox.

The Empress Dowager looked calm, and said sternly: "The emperor is seriously ill and is not in the palace now, do you think the whereabouts of the emperor are unknown?"

Taifu Shen stared at him, refusing to give in: "Even if the emperor's whereabouts are unknown, now that the crown prince has finished his coronation ceremony, the crown prince can take over the power temporarily. Now that the prince is right in front of him, how can the queen mother take over?"

The prince's heart trembled, and his face was a little timid. He didn't know what the emperor's grandmother was planning, but he heard that the emperor's whereabouts were unknown, and his eyes were anxious and worried.

This sentence came to the essence, how could the Empress Dowager allow it, she was born with a stubbornness that would never bow to anyone.

The Empress Dowager flashed her resolute and deep eyes, and her momentum soared into the sky, and she shouted loudly: "Although the crown prince is now crowned, he is still young, has not yet married, and is not familiar with political affairs. Why not deal with political affairs?"
