After a long time, the other party did not respond. Rong Changan looked at them one by one.
"Master Zhang, are you taking the lead in today's matter?" Then he asked Geng Di, "Is it you? Master Geng?" Then he said to Guo Zhen, "Or, Guo Zhen, the commander of the Nine Sects?"
None of the three wanted to say that they were the leader, because if their conspiracy was not in harmony today, and if Changan were to pursue it, the person who took the lead would definitely be more guilty.
"Rong Chang'an, today we were the ones who were outraged by righteous indignation and came to the palace to assist the emperor. There is no saying who takes the lead and who lags behind."
Rong Changan looked over, and it was Geng Di who was speaking.
I saw his face like a full moon, white and smooth, with a pair of bean-sized single-lidded eyes shining brightly, with contempt and resentment in his eyes, and a faint look that seemed to look down on everyone hanging from the corner of his mouth. Smile. And when he looked at Rong Changan—even when he looked at everyone, he always raised his chin slightly and pointed his nostrils at people, which was enough to show that this person was conceited and noble.
Rong Changan met his eyes, and he felt a little unnatural, and looked away from him.
"Master Geng said that he will enter the palace to assist the emperor, what do you say?"
Geng Di's voice was shrill, like a woman: "We heard that the emperor was assassinated by an assassin, and someone wanted to plot against him. Mr. Zhang, Mr. Guo and I felt that the situation was critical and there was no need to delay. The servants of the family, Mr. Guo gathered nine soldiers and horses, a total of 10,000 people, to enter the palace to serve the king, to help the emperor stabilize the situation and wipe out the rebel party."
It was shameless for Geng Di to say such a dirty thing so noble, his face was thicker than the bark of an old tree, Rong Changan really wanted to laugh.
"It is true that the emperor met an assassin, but no one intends to rebel. Lord Geng, who did you say that from?"
"We are not groundless and intentionally fabricated. Concubine Ziyan saw the chaos in the palace. The maids and eunuchs were all saying that the emperor... something happened to the emperor, so she sent someone out to inform the court ministers to enter the palace to serve the king."
It's Ziyan playing tricks behind the scenes again, but it's a pity that only Zhang An, Geng Di, and Guo Zhen are here today. It would be great if all Ziyan's followers came! She knew who the court ministers were loyal and who were traitors.
"Imperial Concubine Ziyan is loyal to the king. As soon as she heard the news of the emperor's accident, she first informed the Minister of Rituals, Mr. Zhang Anzhang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Mr. Geng Digeng, and the Secretary of the Nine Sects, Mr. Guo Zhenguo. It is really admirable." Admirable, Rong Changan wants to thank Concubine Ziyan here on behalf of the emperor, and thank the three adults. Fortunately, Concubine Ziyan did not notify the people in the Ministry of War, otherwise this misunderstanding will cause a big mess."
Zhang An and the others were not fools, they could hear Rong Changan's sarcasm and doubts.
If Ziyan really reported what happened in the palace to the outside world for the sake of King Qin, she should have informed the people of the Ministry of War, because the people of the Ministry of War controlled part of the military power, and it would be best for them to enter the palace to serve the King. However, Ziyan notified Zhang An and Geng Di, who had no military power, and had never led troops to fight, and Guo Zhen, the soldier of the Nine Sects.
Guo Zhen, Zhang An, and Geng Di looked at each other. If they didn't publicize this power-seizure action as a just act of serving the king, then they might be accused of "treason" by Rong Changan.
"Rong Chang'an, you said the emperor was assassinated, how is the injury?"
Rong Changan smiled and said: "On behalf of the emperor, I would like to thank Mr. Guo for his concern. The emperor's sweet son is protected by the gods, even if there are assassins to commit murder, so what! Don't worry, gentlemen, as long as you do your own things with all your heart, the court will be fine. , That is the best comfort to the emperor. If you have nothing else to do, you can go back. I will convey everyone's wishes to the emperor."
Zhang An, Geng Di, Guo Zhen and others showed displeasure, how could they come back empty-handed after finally entering the palace
Guo Zhen whispered to Zhang An and Geng Di: "I think Rong Changan must be in a hurry to let us leave the palace. There must be something in his heart, and there is something that we can't let us know. Could it be that the emperor really..."
Geng Di said: "Whether the emperor is alive or dead, we will know by asking."
So Geng Di sneered and said to Rong Chang'an: "Rong Chang'an, since you said that the emperor is fine, the three of us have also come to the palace, we have to meet with the emperor no matter what, so as to comfort our concern. Please also invite the queen For your convenience, let us enter the Yong'an Palace to pay our respects to the emperor."
Rong Changan also sneered twice, knowing what Geng Di was planning.
"Master Geng, the emperor has rested at this moment, please go back with Lord Zhang and Lord Guo first, how about coming back in a few days to greet the emperor?"
Geng Di glanced at Zhang An and Guo Zhen with deep eyes: "Rong Changan did not let us see the emperor, which is enough to show that the emperor has died. If we don't catch Rong Changan at this time, we will wait until she gathers reinforcements. There will be no place to bury you.”
Guo Zhen said to Zhang An: "Master Geng said that if you don't move now, when will you wait? Rong Changan is fooling us. In fact, the emperor has already passed away. When we leave the palace, she will definitely close all the gates of the palace. We refused to enter. At that time, we could not attack even if we attacked, and the reinforcements from Rong Chang'an came outside again, and we would not survive ten lives. You know, outside the capital, there are 100,000 troops loyal to Rong Chang'an! "
Zhang An thought about it, gritted his teeth, and said to Rong Chang'an loudly: "Queen, we must see the emperor tonight, make sure the emperor is safe, otherwise we will not go back."
Rong Changan's sharp eyes flashed, as if the calm autumn water was passing by the projection of a shooting star.
"Master Zhang, according to your wishes, if I don't let you enter Yong'an Palace, you will lead troops to break in?"
Guo Zhen said for Zhang An: "If you prevent us from seeing the emperor again, we have enough reasons to believe that you have held the emperor hostage and intend to seize the imperial power. As loyal ministers of the Dajing Kingdom, we have the responsibility and obligation to protect the emperor. .If you use swords, if you hurt the queen, don't blame us for not telling you clearly."
The so-called inviting gods is easier than giving them away, Rong Changan had already expected that since they came to the palace, they would definitely not leave easily. Fortunately, she had already ordered Song Qiang to go to the Northwest camp and mobilize 20,000 soldiers into the capital, otherwise the situation tonight would really be out of control.
"Let me tell you again, the emperor has already rested, the assassin did not harm him, he is very healthy. You leave the palace immediately, otherwise you will not blame me, Chang'an, for turning my face and denying anyone!"
Among the dazzling torches, there was wanton laughter.
"Hahahaha!" Guo Zhen laughed loudly, "Rong Chang'an, you are still fooling us up to now. In fact, the emperor has been held hostage by you! The person who committed the trouble was actually you! Let me tell you the truth, today you are going to give us a break." , we also enter; if we are not allowed to enter, we have to enter too! If you can't see with your own eyes whether the emperor is dead or alive, don't even think about driving us away!"
