Spring flowers

Chapter 382, New Year's Day

The assignment of stewer Zhuang was arranged, and he sent his wife and son away that night. There are enough goods at home during the Spring Festival. You don't have to go out and have something to eat, and try not to speak loudly, which will not affect your neighbors.

Chu Huaixian secretly went to the emperor's bedroom again and saw the uncle of the two countries guarding there. He understood that it was impossible to see the emperor and came to find Zhao Cunzong at night.

The courtyard wall of Zhongshan Palace is not low. Fortunately, Mr. Chu is good at it. He made an appointment with Zhao Cunzong to withdraw some guards first, so he came to Zhao Cunzong's house smoothly.

Gently knocked on the window lattice. Zhao Cunzong opened the window from inside and saw Chu Huaixian turn over and come in. He smiled first and said, "Good hand." Chu Huaixian was anxious: "It's going to be a big deal. You're good at it."

"What's the big deal? The Zhang family wants to rebel? Zhao Cunzong said, and Chu Huaixian said, "It seems that you have known that you have any precautions?" Zhao Cunzong sneered: "I knew what's the use. There's nothing we can do about this confused empress dowager. When I asked the uncle of the second country to lead the military power of the military command department, I knew it was wrong. Taifu hit a nail in this matter. Why should I go again? I won't go here. There are also people watching near my palace.

Chu Huaixian looked at the hourglass: "When I came in, I saw something wrong around me. It was so cold that I lay in the snow for half an hour before I came in. He brushed the snow on his body, told Zhao Cunzong what he saw in the palace, and then cursed the prince: "The eunuch doesn't have his son's things. He touched it with his hand when he saw me. This bodyguard is really not good."

"Where did he touch you?" Zhao Cunzong couldn't help laughing. Chu Huaixian put his cold hand that had just come in from the outside on Zhao Cunzong's hand and learned the prince's tone, "What do you do at home every day? Our family loves you so strong. How nice it would be if I had such a son.

Zhao Cunzong was disgusted, so he couldn't think of laughing. Urgently shook off Chu Huaixian's hand: "Stay away from me. You learn too much." Chu Huaixian also frowned: "I can also smell the stench on his body across the two palaces. How sad I was when you said he walked over slowly.

Prince Zhao finally smiled: "If you can save the empress dowager and the emperor, you can save yourself." Chu Huaixian was furious and punched him: "You are stronger and stronger than me. It's best for you to go."

As soon as this was said, the two of them were disgusted again, and then they said something serious.

Under the candlelight, Zhao Cunzong said carefreely, "I also went to persuade His Royal Highness, who is still angry at home. He said that he stared at it and said that there was nothing inappropriate about the emperor's recent political affairs. Of course, this family will not expose itself now. I'm afraid that when His Royal Highness the King of Liang sees something wrong, they have already finished their work.

"In my opinion, on New Year's Day, I'm afraid they will do it." Chu Huaixian pondered: "They trapped the empress dowager and the emperor, threatening the son with the mother and the mother with the son, in my opinion..."

The four bright and divine eyes touched each other, and they all blurted out: "Zen!" Zhao Cunzong gritted his teeth and said, "The Zhang family is afraid of a bad reputation, so they have this idea. The empress dowager is the master, and the emperor gives way, which makes sense. Chu Huaixian also cut his teeth: "Now I just hope that the emperor will not agree and hold on for a while."

Zhao Cunzong was distracted for a while and said to Chu Huaixian, "I was also forced to see the emperor the day before yesterday, and the emperor scolded me, but he had a strange sentence. He said that I kept a close eye on him and asked him not to rest for a while. If you want to show loyalty, why don't you go to the Taihe Temple to worship more? This is also loyalty. Zhao Cunzong, who took a deep breath, had to say, "Huai Xian, before the emperor went, he said something to me. He said that if someone had the same heart, he would take him to the Taihe Hall and shame him in front of the spiritual positions of the ancestors of the previous emperors."

Chu Huaixian narrowed his eyes and speculed, and said with Zhao Cunzong: "Is there an edict?" The two slowly smiled under the candlelight: "If there is an edict, it must be aimed at the two ministers."

"You are on duty in the palace now, and you have to do this." Zhao Cunzong solemnly said to Chu Huaixian, "There are two guards in the Taihe Hall. There are two generals under my command. If you want to find them, you can find them for convenience."

Saying the names of these two people, Chu Huaixian was impressed: "So you have been prepared." Zhao Cunzong was not complaous at all. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I often think about my family these days. If I hadn't been afraid of persuasion and reprimanded the Empress Dowager, I would not have been like this earlier." He said sadly, "You go by yourself, but be careful. If anything happens, come and see me again."

It took Mr. Chu another half an hour to find the courtyard wall of Zhongshan Palace, muttering that the wall was too high. When I got home, I changed my clothes and dried them by the brazier.

When Xiaochu and Brother Yu were not there, Chu Huaixian lived in the study for a long time. Sun Erhai left, and the four people, Jinxi, Jincai, Duofu and Duoshou, were closely guarded. Chu Huaixian went out at night to bake wet clothes, and no one would find it.

Before the Spring Festival, Chu Huaixian went to Taihe Hall twice. There are many beam plaques in the hall, and there is no way to climb the ladder to see it openly. It didn't take long to stay in. On the 30th day, I haven't found where the edict would be.

The beams and plaques in the palace are high, and there is not so much time to climb each beam. Chu Huaixian was anxious and drew the picture of Taihe Hall at home and scrused it one by one.

On the first day of the lunar new year, Chu Huaixian got up early in the morning and sighed at his clothes. Which one should I wear? It's not a good day this morning. Dark clouds and heavy snow are flying, and the sky seems to be pressing straight in front of people's eyes.

After thinking about it, he still put on tight clothes inside, and Mr. Chu went on duty.

King Liang, who has been sulking at home, has to come today. If you want to be angry with him, he doesn't want to come. When Zhao Cunzong came over, he cautiously took a look with Chu Huaixian, and the two immediately separated.

When the golden bell rang, the officials came in. Chu Huaixian was on duty in the hall and watched the little emperor come out with wide eyes. In the past, sometimes the Zhang family also persuaded the empress dowager to come out. Recently, the empress dowager and the emperor have never appeared at the same time.

The little emperor looked red. When he looked carefully, his eyes were full of anger and unwillingness. He sat in the hall and began to speak: "I am too young to govern the country."

As soon as this sentence came out, many of the officials were stunned by those who did not know in advance; and many of them were happy were the followers of the Zhang family. Seeing that one-third of the people were happy, Chu Huaixian sighed that the Zhang family had been planting people in the six departments and had always been the deputy. Now is the time for them to take down Shang Shu Shilang and others. If they don't obey, they will take them down.

Anyway, six departments will not be transferred, and they have people who do things.

The little emperor is still saying Zen, and the palace is also quiet. ....... Yao Shun is virtuous, Zen gives way to future generations, and I am Zen and Prime Minister. Bean-sized tears flowed down from the emperor's tender cheeks, and he looked emptyly at the top of the palace, where several pictures were painted.

In the eyes of the emperor, he saw the ancestors and the face of the emperor before he left. If someone has two intentions, there is an edict to ask for thieves in the Taihe Hall. You can find Liang Wang and Taifu looking at the same.

The little emperor looked at Zhao Cunzong desperately again. Can you get the edict?

There were accusations on the hall. Seven or eight generals and four or five doctors came out, and nearly half of them died in the hall. Several heads of blood splashed on the golden hall. The little emperor's face was so pale that he dared not speak.

Under the protection of heavy troops, Prime Minister Zhang coldly ascended the golden step and looked down at the ministers under the stairs and said slowly, "I don't want to kill more people. Don't force me. The emperor knows that he is not virtuous and gives in his own way. If there is anyone who wants to die, I will not be soft!"

His Royal Highness King Liang was beside him, with four or five steel knives on his neck. His eyes seemed to stare out. He looked at Prime Minister Zhang like a cannibal, muttering to himself, "It's my careless, I'm too careless." Although the steel knife was bright in front of him, King Liang was also angry: "Old thief, I'll fight with you!"

"Uncle!" The emperor resisted his fear, stood up straight, stopped King Liang with tears, and then said, "I know I'm not virtuous and I'm willing to give in." Then he said to Prime Minister Zhang, "The Prime Minister is a generation of virtuous kings. It is not a good omen to start a country and splash blood!"

Prime Minister Zhang laughed and said with great appreciation to the little emperor, "It's worthy of my grandson, like our Zhang family. Don't worry, I will make you a prince and be rich all your life.

King Liang tried his best to suppress himself. When he calmed down, he received the little emperor's eyes. One is himself, one is Chu Huaixian, and the other is Zhao Cunzong.

What does

mean? King Liang didn't understand. But seeing that Zhao Cunzong did not come out, Chu Huaixian was calm, and King Liang gradually calmed down. These two people are definitely not going to bow to Prime Minister Zhang. One is a general in the army, and the other is a strong kung fu. They don't move, but I'm afraid they have ideas.

Prime Minister Zhang did not let go of King Liang. He snorted heavily: "Uncle is a confused person, come..." The little emperor stopped Prime Minister Zhang: " Prime Minister, on the 15th day, I will follow the Prime Minister to the Taihe Hall to tell my ancestors, and then go to the altar to accuse myself. Prime Minister, at that time, you will be the supreme of 95."

"Haha, what you mean, since you say so, what should you do with Uncle?" At this time, Prime Minister Zhang is also willing to take a step towards the little emperor.

The little emperor looked at the king of Liang calmly and said lightly, "Put him in the palace and don't let him leave before giving up. Prime Minister, what do you think?

Of course, Prime Minister Zhang agreed: "Come on, please invite your uncle to live in the palace."

King Liang, who also wanted to find someone to discuss after retreating from the court, was taken away.

After going down, Chu Huaixian heard about the palace where King Liang lived, went to the Taihe Hall for a few times before leaving. I'm thinking about how to communicate with King Liang at home. Someone outside the door replied, "My uncle is here."

The uncle of the great country came to the Chu family to see Chu Huaixian in person to discuss several important matters.

"King Liang, go and persuade him. Several people persuaded him, and he scolded him. If he wanted to die, he would let him die. However, his father said that if the king of Liang could rise high, the imperial relatives outside Beijing would waver.

This is the first thing, and the second thing is that the uncle of the great country said slowly like the wind and rain: "A letter to Lord Taifu, asking him to come to the capital to preside over the meditation ceremony. I'm afraid that Taifu can't figure it out for a while. You should know his handwriting and write a few letters in his name. King Zhongnan is recovering from his illness in Beijing and has been detained. Transfer his sons to Beijing to release their military power.

The Zhang family has been thinking about it for many years to dare to be the emperor.

In such a situation, Chu Huaixian can only agree first. The uncle of the great country smiled and promised Chu Huaixian himself: "I will be a prince for you." After Chu Huaixian sent him away, he thought about it in the room for half a day.

The letter can be written, and the letter can be contacted in secret words, but this letter must be sent by the uncle of the great country, so how to write hidden words is a little difficult for Chu Huaixian.

Throw it down and don't write it. Go to the palace to see King Liang first. His Royal Highness the King of Liang lived in the palace where he often lived in the palace, and the flowers and trees were still sparse. Far away, Chu Huaixian could hear him lose his temper in the room and roar: "Get out, the bastard who forgot the former emperor!"

The door opened, and Chu Huaixian came in the light and shadow. He calmly said to King Liang, "Your Highness, I am ordered by the Prime Minister to come to persuade you."

His Royal Highness King Liang, who was losing his temper, was stunned...
