Chapter 281 Xiaochao Meeting
Early the next morning, when the sky was gray and bright, a eunuch carrying an edict and four inner court guards hurried towards Zhao Yu's mansion.
Because it was not bright yet, the eunuch who delivered the order did not notice anything strange. When he reached the steps of the mansion, he realized that the soles of his boots were a little sticky.
When he took a closer look, he found that the soles of his feet were muddy, and then a strong smell of blood entered his nose.
It hasn't rained yet in the capital today, so the mud in front of the mansion is caused by blood mixed into the soil.
"Knock on the door!"
The eunuch who delivered the order suppressed the fear in his heart and gave instructions to the inner court guard beside him.
The inner court guard heard the sound and stepped forward, stretched out his hand and headed towards the brass ring of the door.
Squeak!
But before his hand touched the door knocker, the door of the mansion in front of him slowly opened, and a beautiful woman walked out.
"Your Majesty has decreed that Zhao Yu, the governor of the Northern Division of Xuan Jinyi Guards, will enter the palace immediately to see you!"
The eunuch who delivered the order took a step forward, held up the imperial edict in his right hand, and said loudly to Jiang Yuyan who was standing outside the door.
"Wait!"
Jiang Yuyan replied coldly, then turned around and entered the mansion.
"Father, this man is too arrogant. He is just an envoy of Beisi Town. He dares to treat the Holy Will so lightly."
"That's right! Let alone the governor of Beisi, even the commander-in-chief of the factory guard would not dare to treat you so lightly!"
"The door is not closed yet, so what's the harm if we just go in and announce the decree?!"
…
Just after Jiang Yuyan turned around to attend the meeting, the father-in-law didn't think anything was wrong, but the inner court guard who was always arrogant and arrogant couldn't stand it anymore.
Although they don't have official status as those who hang fish and dragon bags, no one in the capital dares to look down on them.
What's more, there is also a eunuch who delivers the edict beside them, and this father-in-law is very likely to take over the high position of the vacated eunuch Bingbi.
Such a set of configurations, could a mere Beisi town governor offend?!
"Shut up, everyone!"
The eunuch who delivered the order narrowed his triangular eyes and glared at the inner court guard beside him.
Others don't know what's going on with the person in front of him, so why doesn't he know?
Not to mention that he is just the candidate for the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, even Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of the palm print, would have a headache facing this guy!
As for the imperial edict in hand...
Zhang Jing, who is already dead, can already explain the problem very well.
Everyone waited outside the mansion. After about two sticks of incense, Zhao Yucai slowly walked out of the mansion.
"Envoy Zhao Zhen, His Majesty has decreed that you should come to the palace immediately to see him!"
Seeing Zhao Yu coming out, the eunuch immediately stepped forward to deliver the order.
"Oh? Now?"
Zhao Yu looked at the eunuch who delivered the order with a puzzled expression.
The eunuch who delivered the order nodded and said hurriedly: "Yes, please invite Envoy Zhao Zhen to accompany our family to the palace immediately to see you."
Zhao Yu pretended to be surprised and asked: "Your Majesty is so anxious to summon your ministers. Does your father-in-law know what is going on?"
"..."
Not to mention the eunuchs who delivered the order, even the inner court guards who followed him were deceived.
In one night, the entire capital was in chaos, and the inner court was full of murderous intent. All forces showed their special powers on this night.
But the guy in front of him seemed to have no idea what was going on.
Is this normal?
Of course the eunuch who delivered the order understood that Zhao Yu was pretending to be confused. He didn't believe that Zhao Yu, who was the envoy of Jinyiwei Town, would know nothing about such a big matter?
The eunuch who delivered the order took a step forward, approached Zhao Yu and whispered: "The previous emperor passed away, and the new emperor has succeeded..."
"Oh, let's go then!"
Zhao Yu nodded very indifferently, and then took the first step towards the direction of Chengtian Gate.
The eunuchs and imperial guards who stayed behind to deliver the order had their claws numb.
Didn’t you say you don’t know anything?
Since you don’t know, how can you be so calm when you hear such a big thing like the emperor’s death?!
…
Outside Chengtian Gate, there is heavy security.
When Zhao Yu, wearing Feiyu uniform and carrying an embroidered spring knife on his waist, arrived outside Chengtian Gate, he was stopped by the guards.
The eunuch who followed behind handed the edict to the man, and then several people were able to enter the palace.
After entering Chengtian Gate, the eunuch who passed the order took Zhao Yu all the way. It was obvious that there were a lot more guards in the palace today.
But as he walked, Zhao Yu felt something was wrong.
He had been to the palace several times, but this was not the direction to Yongshou Palace at all.
After walking for almost a stick of incense, the eunuch who conveyed the order led Zhao Yu outside a main hall.
Fengtian Temple!
This is the place where Emperor Daqian went to court early. The late emperor did not go to court for twenty years, so he received his ministers in Yongshou Palace.
Therefore, although Zhao Yu has been to the palace a few times, except for Yongshou Palace, he is really unfamiliar with other places.
"Your Majesty the Governor..."
Under the leadership of the eunuch who passed the order, Zhao Yu did not enter the Fengtian Palace, but entered the side hall on one side of the Fengtian Palace.
When Zhao Yu was about to enter, the guard on the side stretched out his hand and motioned for Zhao Yu to hand over the Xiuchundao.
Zhao Yu took off the Xiuchun Dao from his waist and threw it to the guard before entering the side hall.
In the side hall, in addition to King Yu who had changed into a dragon robe, there were also the chief minister of the cabinet Zhang Wei, the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, the emperor's uncle Zhu Wuwu, the governor of the East Factory Liu Xi, the West Factory Yuhuatian, and a
A dwarf that Zhao Yu had never seen before.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Yu, comes to see you!"
Zhao Yu stepped forward and bowed to King Yu.
Prince Yu, who was already the new emperor, just stared at Zhao Yu. After a while, he slowly waved his hand to signal Zhao Yu to get up.
At this time, Zhang Wei, the chief assistant of the core, took a step forward, raised his hands to the new emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the late emperor Ji Rang has opened the ceremony, the cabinet has formulated various matters for the funeral, and the new emperor's registration and announcement to the world have been written and distributed...
…”
As soon as Zhang Wei came up, he talked a lot.
Not to mention the emperor, even Zhao Yu was confused when he heard this.
"After the court's preliminary decision, all matters are drawn up by the cabinet, and then reviewed by the Chief of Ceremonies, and then sent to the imperial study for my personal review!"
"According to the order!"
After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he immediately rubbed oil on the soles of his feet on the pretext of discussing the name of the new dynasty and various trivial matters.
Old foxes like Zhang Wei have become spirits.
He knew that he should try his best not to interfere with the matters to be discussed in the next Umrah meeting.
After Zhang Wei left, everyone present noticed that the emperor sat up slightly and leaned forward slightly.
"Yuhuatian!!"
The emperor looked around for a week, and then in a deep voice called out the name of the Governor of Xichang.
"My slave is here..."
Fengli Dao immediately stood up, bowed his head and bent down to the middle of the side hall, and flopped on the ground.
"At midnight last night, I ordered you to send the Emperor's Sword and three battalions of soldiers from the suburbs of Beijing to defend the imperial city. Why haven't I seen a single soldier yet?!"
The emperor placed his hand heavily on the armrest of the dragon chair and shouted angrily at Fengli Dao who was prostrate on the ground below.
"Your Majesty, forgive me. How dare I disobey Your Majesty? There are really villains who intercepted and killed me on the way. The Emperor's Sword changed hands several times..."
Cold sweat broke out on Fengli Dao's forehead, and he quickly kowtowed and explained.
"snort!"
The emperor snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Chapter completed!
