"Yes, why should I hand over military power to a woman? I won't do it!"
"Let it out, our ability is not as good as a foreign woman, where will we save our face!"
"King, is this woman bewitching you and asking you to do this? I will take her head off right now!"
As the leader said, he wanted to do something, but the king stopped him: "Stop, are you going against me? You don't listen to me? Am I still your king?"
The guard stood aside and said in his heart: Some people don't regard you as a king long ago!
Someone said with a serious expression: "King, it's not that we don't treat you as a king, it's because this decree is too self-respecting! A man can have his head cut off and bleed, but he can't lose his dignity! There are no people from the Great Jing Kingdom, and we don't want to lose your dignity!" We can find the murderer!"
Just now Jin Renxin told "Concubine Xue Gui" that many people in the royal guards were no longer under his control, and the king still didn't believe it. Now after hearing what these leaders said, he suddenly realized, and he felt angry and sad at the same time. In the past, he favored these people and piled up rewards, but what he got back was their betrayal! What did the prince give them
"You don't hand over the military power, I will hand it over!" A leader said loudly, he knew in his heart that those who refused to hand over the military power had actually been bought by the prince, and he was usually incompatible with these people.
Another leader also said: "I am willing to hand over the military power to Concubine Xue, and let her hunt down the assassins!"
Hearing that someone handed over the military power, the others became angry.
"You are really scum among men, you actually bowed your head and surrendered to a woman, what face do you have to live in the world! You might as well die!"
"These two people are not from my Tianchi country, they must be from the Dajing country. King, I request that these two people be pushed out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded!"
This sentence angered the two who surrendered their military power.
One of them said loudly: "It is you who say that we are the spies of Tianchi country! Don't think I don't know why you refuse to hand over your military power. In fact, there is a big conspiracy hidden."
When the king heard this, he pricked up his ears to see who was a traitor to the prince.
The leader's words touched their sore spots, and someone pointed at the leader and threatened, "Nonsense! If you can't prove it, I will kill you!"
"You said, what conspiracy do we have?"
Then four or five leaders drew their swords and were eager to try. The atmosphere is very tense and explosive.
The two leaders also drew their swords, their faces were purple.
"I'm afraid that if we say it, you won't be able to stay in the palace anymore!"
The rebellious leaders shouted, "Say it!"
They exchanged glances with each other, and if the two leaders really told about their refuge in the prince, they would kill the king immediately and welcome the prince as a new generation of kings.
The two leaders who were loyal to the king were provoked and were about to spit out their conspiracy, but Rong Chang'an thought: If the leaders fight each other, it will be bad for the king, so he coughed twice and broke down:
"Calm down your anger. You are all working for the king in the palace. Why should you be like fire and water? Let's put down the sword."
The leader loyal to the king said: "We are doing things for the king, they may not be doing things for the king!"
"Okay, okay!" Rong Changan comforted the two chiefs, "For the sake of the king, calm down!"
The king looked displeased: "You guys are arguing like this, but you put me in your eyes? Anyone who doesn't put down the knife will be my enemy!"
Those two who were loyal to the king were naturally obedient and put their swords back into their sheaths. The dozen or so people who took refuge in the prince saw that the other party had withdrawn their knives, and it was hard to get angry, so they had to take back their knives too.
Rong Chang'an smiled slightly, and winked at Jin Renxin: "Physician Jin, go and make a cup of tea for each leader to calm them down."
Jin Ren understood, so he took the medicine box and went downstairs, mixed fifteen cups of tea, and put four or six medicines in the tea. After taking a sip, his body became weak and he could no longer exert his energy.
Rong Changan lowered his aloof attitude and brought tea one by one.
"Boss, please drink a cup of tea and put out the fire!"
The leader saw that "Concubine Xue" was beautiful and had such a humble and courteous attitude, his anger subsided a lot, he took Rong Chang'an's tea, sipped it, and finished it.
Seeing that they all drank tea, the corners of Rong Chang'an's mouth twitched with joy.
"I know what the leaders are thinking. You are afraid that the king will take your military power, aren't you? I assure you that the assassin will be found and arrested before dark, and then the military power of the Sixteen Sects will be returned to you. .how do you feel?"
With the time limit, those leaders are relieved.
A leader who took refuge with the prince said: "Since the imperial concubine has made such a promise, can we still believe it! I will also hand over the military power to the imperial concubine for the time being."
As he said that, the leader took out the troop token from his pocket and put it on the table: "Grand Concubine, I will hand over the military power of Donghua Gate to you! After dark, you must return the token to me!"
The other generals who took refuge in the prince couldn't hide their tokens anymore, and threw them on the table one after another.
"This is Xiyemen's military power!"
"This is the military power of Dongyemen!"
"This is from the Meridian Gate."
"..."
The king counted the tokens on the table, and there were only fifteen. The guard put the last one on the table.
"King, this is the military power of Xizhimen!"
The king held it in his hand, a total of sixteen, not a lot, and said to Rong Chang'an:
"Noble Concubine, here is the military power of the Sixteen Guards, I will leave it to you!"
Rong Changan took over the tokens, each token was heavy in her hands, the entire palace, even the entire Tianchi Kingdom, and the safety of the Dajing Kingdom were all in her hands.
"Don't worry, the king, I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations and bring out that assassin."
The king looked expectantly at "Concubine Xue", and then met his eyes.
Rong Changan understood, and suddenly his face became severe, and he shouted to the guards of Dajing Kingdom and the two guards of Tianchi Kingdom:
"Surround me with the leaders of the fifteen palace gates!"
The six guards drew their swords out of their sheaths and stood guard beside the fifteen chiefs. Although there were only six of them, their aura was not weak at all.
At this moment, the leader realized that he had been fooled by Concubine Xue and the king!
"Your Majesty, what is this for?" the leader who took refuge in the prince asked dissatisfied.
"It's a dead dog, isn't it?"
"I knew a long time ago that this noble concubine from the Great Jing Kingdom is not a good thing!"
"Where is she taking our military power temporarily, she wants to take away our military power forever!"
The leader loyal to the king was also very puzzled: "King, why did you surround us!"
Rong Changan asked the king to step aside, and she solemnly announced to the fifteen chiefs: "All the chiefs have heard the order. Today, the king has received news that the princess and the prince are planning to rebel, and I am the noble concubine of the Tianchi Kingdom to control the sixteen gates of the palace. From today , Martial law began, no one is allowed to go out or enter the door without the king's will. Those who disobey the order will be beheaded!"
For a while, there was no sound in the attic. After a while, the leader who took refuge in the prince said:
"Concubine Xue, who did you hear that the prince and concubine are plotting against each other?"
Rong Changan said: "This is a secret decree, how can I let you know!"
"If it's a secret decree, who knows that there is nothing tricky in it. I don't accept it! I think it is a traitor who is framing the prince. The prince is loyal to the king and the country. How can he rebel? King, this matter is very important. Please be careful!"
"King, please tell the person who accused the prince of treason, and I will kill her immediately!" The leader who spoke had scarlet eyes and stared at "Concubine Xue". Concubine".
Those two loyal to the king knew in their hearts that even if the prince did not rebel today, sooner or later he would. Someone sued the prince for treason, it was not groundless.
Rong Changan signaled the king to keep quiet, and she looked at the two chiefs: "Do you believe the prince will rebel?"
