never come back.
His Highness's voice was very loud but far away. In the voice of that voice, she vaguely saw the little child being carried on her shoulders, laughing under the bright blue sky.
There was a lonely smile that did not belong to this age on the corner of her lips.
Amidst such clamorous voices, on the high golden palace, Feng Zhiwei suddenly heard her clearly and slowly say: "Father."
At three o'clock in the morning, in the voice of the mountain in the Hall of Great Instruments, the child gently called out the only name in his heart.
No one heard it except Feng Zhiwei.
And a quarter of an hour before this call, there was a bird song from somewhere, on the tree above the Flower Temple, and He Lianzheng, who was hugging the regent's boastful talk, suddenly loosened his hand and said with a smile: " Your Highness, this is the case, how is it? Is it feasible? Ah, just now you said that you were going to attend your Majesty’s birthday? Why didn’t you say it earlier? Don’t dare to delay, please, please.”
Yin Zhishu looked at the prairie king who smiled brightly and thoughtlessly, and thought to himself, didn't he tell you a long time ago? You just remembered now? However, there was nothing he could do about meeting such a high-ranking rascal, and he didn't dare to say any kind words, so he hurriedly bid farewell to He Lianzheng and hurried into the sedan chair.
At three o'clock in the morning, he entered Yongkang Gate. In front of Yongkang Gate, he asked the guards beside him, "Where are the 30,000 soldiers from the Longlie camp now?"
"It has already entered Changping Palace."
"Call 15,000 people over here." Yin Zhishu looked at the jade steps that seemed to enter the sky from a distance, "Just wait outside the Yongkang Gate, named after the king's flag flower, and immediately surround the Hall of Great Instruments as soon as the flag flower comes out. .”
The leader of the guards was stunned, surrounded the main hall of the Great Instrument, and conspired against him, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and bowed: "Yes!"
Yin Zhishu turned his eyes around, and asked again, "What's going on in the palace today? Which door is the guard on duty changing?"
The leader of the guards said: "Double days in the last ten days, it should be at De'anmen. As for the movement in the palace... please allow your subordinates to go and inquire."
"Go and see the Empress Dowager's Jianxi Palace." Yin Zhishu lost his mind for a while, and handed over his waist badge.
The guards led away, Yin Zhishu thought for a while, and said: "Binghuo, Luoli, follow me up."
Two men came out in response, one was short and lean, walking with a loud noise, the other was tall and thin, and walked erratically, both of them had ordinary faces, but their eyeballs were shining brightly and frighteningly.
Everyone was stunned again. According to the rules, only senior members of the fourth grade or above can enter Yongkangmen, and on such occasions as the court meeting, they are not allowed to bring in followers. Enter from Yongkangmen Square, and go up the jade steps to enter the Hall of Great Instruments. The distance of several tens of feet has always been the only distance traveled by the Regent alone, every day, but this section of the road has never had any accidents—the field of vision is wide, the square and steps are all white, and even an ant can see clearly. There is nowhere to hide, and every three steps there is a guard sentry post, all of which are the regent's pro-army. To assassinate there is harder than taking the head of a man among thousands of troops.
But today the regent wanted to bring people in against the rules. Everyone was a little surprised. Yin Zhishu stood under the tall Yongkang door, squinted his eyes, and said calmly: "I always feel that something is wrong today... Besides, look."
He pointed to the ground. There were some fallen leaves on the ground, which were trampled to pieces. It is said that there should be no fallen leaves because there are eunuchs sweeping here all the time. But it was late autumn, and the trees began to wither. I can't sweep it away, those yellow and brittle leaves were crushed by people's feet, and fell inconspicuously under the archway.
Yin Zhishu pointed to the broken leaf and said, "The eunuch's shoes are soft-soled, even if you step on a dead leaf, it's not easy to step on it so broken. What's more, if the eunuch sees the broken leaf, he will sweep it away and won't stay. Looking at the broken appearance of these leaves, it looks like they were crushed by relatively heavy leather boots, and there are still some crush marks around the leaves—only guards and soldiers like to crush objects with their heels after touching objects under their feet. Look at these broken leaves. , there are inside and outside Yongkang Gate, which means that there are a lot of guards, but today the guards change shift and they are not at Yongkang Gate, so why are there so many guards here?"
All the trusted followers behind him took a closer look, and they all admired sincerely: "The prince is as careful as a hair!"
"After so many years of frightening life at every step." Yin Zhishu smiled, "then came to a reason, be careful when sailing for thousands of years, this king brings people in, if your majesty blames me, this king will take the blame. It's better than being attacked. Nothing to do well."
He waved, and the two masters followed silently, passing through the Yongkang Gate.
At this time, Lu Rui in the main hall had also received a secret report. Hearing that the regent had brought experts into the Yongkang Gate and mobilized Long Lie's camp, he couldn't help feeling tense—what went wrong? The prince's vigilance is so careful!
He didn't know that Empress Dowager Dong was dead, and the original plan in his mind was to make all the ministers recognize the lord, first confirm Gu Zhixiao's identity, pretended to be helpless, and persuaded the regent to sacrifice the Empress Dowager Dong, and put the crime of changing the prince on the back burner. Empress Dowager Dong continued to take over the power, and then with the help of Wei Zhi and others, he waited for Yin Zhishu to become paralyzed before looking for an opportunity to act. Although this was dangerous, he thought he knew the regent very well. With Yin Zhishu's temperament, as long as he could To maintain his position, sacrificing a Queen Mother Dong should be acceptable. Without the Dong family in the harem, he can take the position as the emperor's mother of Concubine Mi. At that time, he can find a turning point again.
But now, looking at Yin Zhishu's movements, he has already noticed something, and moved Long Lie's camp first!
As long as the 15,000 troops march into the Yongkang Gate, as long as Yin Zhishu surrounds the Great Hall of Fame regardless, as long as he is really ruthless enough to kill a group of people, even if he recognizes Gu Zhixiao today, he can cover the sky with one hand!
The more Lu Rui thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he didn't even care about the play, so he quietly gestured to Feng Zhiwei, pointing his tail at the harem, meaning to ask Empress Dowager Dong how she is now and why she didn't follow.
Feng Zhiwei looked down at him, thinking that this big Sima was still a literati after all, he had complex thoughts, but he liked to think things too softly and beautifully, so he didn't dare to put all his eggs in one basket to the end. There is room for him to continue to be his double-faced person, but he doesn't know that the veil of warmth will be torn off sooner or later in matters such as political seizure of power.
