The palace was as silent as cicadas.
The palace man was kneeling on the ground with his head hanging, not daring to move. The only sound in the palace could be heard was the heavy breathing of a nine-thousand-year-old man.
His temperament has become increasingly violent and moody recently. Once his temper gets angry, he must kill several people. In just one month, dozens of people in the palace have died!
Yun Zong angrily drove everyone out of the palace, leaving only his confidants.
The confidant asked worriedly: "Nine thousand years old, now that His Majesty is not here, you can still pretend that she is having fun in the palace. But in more than a month, it will be the New Year's Day, and Your Majesty must go to offer sacrifices. What should we do?" "
"I'm watching. Why don't we just ask the sacrifices and ceremonies to be suspended and not let her go?"
"How can we hide this? We have to worship ancestors and heaven during the New Year. Now that the evil-warming tree is sixteen years old, even if it is not pro-government, it still has to attend the court meeting. How can we hide it?"
"Just say that Your Majesty is not feeling well—"
"What are you doing as a hospital! Those old ministers who are occupying their positions and refusing to leave, all of them still have hopes for the Queen. If the Queen does not come forward, they will definitely send a letter to the palace and ask to see the Queen!"
Yun Zong's head hurt as the crowd chattered, and he waved his hand impatiently: "Shut up. The Queen can't hide anything, but she still has to come forward when it's time to come forward. She has to come out and show those veterans when there are meetings and sacrifices in the court. Look, so that they can feel at ease.”
"But nine thousand years old, how can we let His Majesty come out? His Majesty is clearly not here..."
"Your Majesty is not here."
Yun Yunzong sneered, his eyes were gloomy, but his smile was a bit sinister:
"But those veterans don't know! I had someone keep a substitute for a long time, just waiting for her to pretend to be used when she disobeys. I didn't expect to use it so soon... Very good, the throne is too high, and it blocks her face. With Mian Yu, the old minister can't see it."
Seeing that he had decided everything forcefully, his staff and subordinates could only say respectfully: "Nine thousand years old wise man!"
It was the Mid-Autumn Festival when the Northwest Army returned to Beijing, and the Queen disappeared in late September. The dead soldiers of the Nine Thousand Years Sect regretted seeing Xi Chenzhou and others rendezvousing with the Northwest Army and returned to the Northwest. They returned to Beijing to report, and the time had come. Early November.
In less than two months, it will be the New Year's Day, and the veteran ministers in the court mentioned that the Queen was already sixteen years old, and was about to be seventeen, and could be in charge, forcing Jiuyun to indulge in power.
Yun Zong pretended to discuss with them, and reluctantly agreed to invite the little queen to attend the New Year's Eve party, and then let them see the vague "Queen's figure" through the curtain from a distance.
The old ministers did not think much and were overjoyed when they saw this. They urged the courtiers to be the best prepared. They all began to get busy inside and outside. The capital was also full of joy.
But this joy did not last long. On the day of the festival, in the festival hall, a thunder suddenly sounded in the clear sky, splitting the big tree next to it, and the tree fell straight towards Yunzong!
Although Yun Zong was agile and quickly avoided the falling tree and asked several subordinates to help him block it, this scene still caught the attention of countless civil and military ministers who came to attend the sacrifice.
A sign of great evil—
The news quickly spread among the people, and it was spread among the people that the nine thousand years old deceived the subordinates, concealed the superiors, and harmed the loyal, so that the heaven was angry and punished by thunder!
Yun Zong was furious and sent people to arrest the singer among the people, and took him directly to Caishikou to behead him.
But the more he grasped, the stronger the people's resistance became, and the more people sang. Soon, things even developed to a point that he could not imagine -
Zhenbei Hou Xi Chenzhou, who fled back to the northwest, launched a slogan of "Kill Yunzong and clear the emperor's side", and led 400,000 northwest troops to openly rebel!
