Chapter 55

The imperial palace in Dajing was built by the Rui Dynasty. From site selection to construction to repair, there have been three emperors before and after, and it has a history of more than [-] years.

The imperial edict to build this palace exhausted Rui Dynasty's financial resources and people's power, which caused Rui Dynasty's national power to decline rapidly, and the country fell within a few generations.

The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade.This move has benefited future kings.

This imperial palace was built magnificently, the walls on all sides were three feet thick and three feet high, and the door opening under the city wall was as long as a corridor.

There are three doors in total at the Donglin Gate, the middle one is larger and more than ten feet high, and the doors on both sides are slightly shorter.At this moment, the small doors on both sides were tightly closed, and only the middle door was open. The door was empty, and no one could be seen.

Go out of this gate and go west for two miles, you will find Chengtian Gate.

Ye Qinghuai subconsciously pressed the dagger at her waist.

She was tall and had long legs. She ran extremely fast and rushed into Donglin Gate first.

Although it was a sunny day, it was a bit dark inside the doorway.Looking out from the door opening, the light was a bit dazzling.

Ye Qinghuai rushed through the doorway with a few people, and there was the sound of swords clashing behind him.

A voice from the right yamen guard came from behind Ye Qinghuai: "Outpost, stop them!"

Suddenly, two figures holding spears appeared outside the door opening of Donglinmen, blocking the bright sunlight outside the door.

The next moment, the spears in the hands of the two right yamen guards pointed at Ye Qinghuai who was in the doorway.

Ye Qinghuai stopped in her tracks.

It seems that the Donglin Gate is not unguarded, but the imperial guards from the inner gate have been transferred outside the gate.

Ye Qinghuai looked back, the people she led had already started fighting with several Youya guards at the inner gate.Attacking back and forth, they were actually trapped in this doorway, in a dilemma.

"Your Majesty?" A figure walked out behind the two spearmen outside the door. Ye Qinghuai couldn't see his appearance clearly because of the backlight, but she recognized the voice.

Ye Qinghuai frowned, and asked from a distance: "Chu Dingguo?"

"It's the last general." The person outside the door replied.

It's really not that friends don't get together.The last time he brought Qin Baozhu into the palace, he ran into this difficult captain and was forced to threaten him with death. He didn't expect him to be on duty at Donglinmen again today.

Ye Qinghuai faced the door, stood up straight, and asked: "Chu Dingguo, do you still want to stop me today?"

Chu Dingguo hesitated a little. It could be seen that Ye Qinghuai's act of killing himself with a knife last time left a big shadow on him. This time he dared not talk to her as defiantly as last time.

He thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, the outside of the palace is not peaceful today, please return to the palace, Your Majesty."

"Why is it not peaceful outside the palace?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

"There are troublemakers outside the palace, I'm afraid His Majesty will be hurt."

"Do you know who caused the trouble?" There were more and more Youya guards inside the door, and Ye Qinghuai intermittently cried out in pain, but she didn't turn her head, still looking at Chu Dingguo's figure, walking slowly Walking towards him slowly, he asked.

"The troublemakers are naturally the rioters."

"Then do you know who these rioters are?" Ye Qinghuai asked sternly.

Chu Dingguo's voice was a little low, and he replied, "The end general doesn't know."

"I tell you, these rioters are students from literary schools and academies. They appear here just to see me and seek justice from the court. They have neither knives nor guns. Chu Dingguo, I Let me ask you, can you deal with them?"

Chu Dingguo did not speak.

Ye Qinghuai turned around, and asked You Yawei who was chasing up behind him, "Can you do it?"

Her shrill voice echoed in the dark corridor of the door opening, as if repeatedly beating everyone's heart.

The sound of swords and soldiers clashing gradually weakened, and some people stopped their hands.

Ye Qinghuai saw the effect, and continued: "You are all soldiers of my great scene, do you still remember your original intention of practicing martial arts? Is it to protect the family and the country? Or to eliminate the strong and help the weak? But look at your own hands. Look at who your blades and spear points are pointing at right now? A brutal massacre is taking place outside the Chengtian Gate, but you are blocking me here. What you are doing is tantamount to sending unarmed officials to Sending him off on a dead end is tantamount to cutting off Dajing's future with his own hands!"

She was anxious in her heart, so she spoke bitterly, which was touching.

For a moment, everyone inside and outside the door looked at her, a little at a loss.

In the deadly confrontation, a voice sounded from outside the inner door.

"Where are there unarmed innocents? Your Majesty, don't listen to the slander of the traitor, and believe the wrong person." A figure in armor walked to the door opening, and the guards of the right government outside the door saw him and made way for him.

Ye Qinghuai was startled, and asked, "Who are you?"

"The last general of the Forbidden Army, Youyawei, Wuwei General Xu Liang, see Your Majesty."

He is Luo Zichang's deputy and the commander of Youyawei.

Ye Qinghuai's heart felt cold.

He chased here, which means that Li Baoquan and Zuo Yawei have already lost.

Sure enough, behind him was a crowd of guards, forming a line outside the inner gate.

Despair appeared in Ye Qinghuai's eyes.

In this situation, it is difficult for her to fly out of this palace wall even if she has wings.

Ye Qinghuai smiled wryly, and said coldly: "General Xu, please clarify. Who is the villain? What is slander?"

"I don't know where Your Majesty heard the rumors about the officials making trouble, but those who speak to His Majesty must have ulterior motives and confuse the saints! Gathering people to make trouble, questioning the court, defying the edict, what is it if it is not a riot?"

"Xu Liang, let me ask you, do you know who is making trouble outside Chengtian Gate today? And why?"

"The general does not need to know this. The general only needs to do his own thing well and protect His Majesty."

"Protection?" Ye Qinghuai sneered, "Does the so-called 'protection' in your mouth imprison me in Jingshou Palace?"

"Your Majesty was misled by traitors, and it is inevitable that he will act with loyalty. Naturally, it is safest to stay in the palace." Xu Liang answered eloquently.

Ye Qinghuai was a little speechless at his stubbornness.

No wonder he was able to sit in the position of General Youyawei and Wuwei. His loyalty of not caring but knowing how to execute, not to mention Gu Shihai and Luo Zichang's wish, even Ye Qinghuai was somewhat satisfied, he really has a personality suitable for being a soldier.

He doesn't say whether this knife is easy to use or not, but it is definitely an obedient knife.

"Since you trust Luo Zichang so much, go to Chengtianmen with me to see if what they said is true and if there are rioters and traitors at work."

"The mission of the general is to protect His Majesty's safety. Please also return to the palace with the General. Other matters will be handled by others, so His Majesty will not bother you." Xu Liang was unmoved.After finishing speaking, he walked a few steps into the door opening, seeing that he was about to escort Ye Qinghuai back to Jingshou Palace.

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes sounded outside Donglin Gate.
