The Eunuch's Hand Covers the Sky

Chapter 114 The Empress Dowager

The next day, civil and military officials waited for the morning court.The eldest prince and the second prince were also sitting on the side.Each plans for itself in order to seek greater benefits.The current Minister of War, Zuo Zhiqiu, was full of worry.Because of Wang Zhenna's solemn remarks yesterday.It made the corners of his eyes twitch all night long.I can't feel at ease all the time.Chief Assistant Master Shen, seeing Zuo Zhiqiu's uneasy expression, couldn't help joking: "What's wrong? Master Zuo. But you didn't sleep well last night?"

The surrounding officials from the Second Prince's faction laughed in good faith.Seeing that Zuo Zhiqiu didn't have the usual excuses, he said solemnly: "I didn't sleep all night last night. I always felt that something big was about to happen." "Hey, Mr. Zuo, you are too busy with state affairs, which is what you should do. "That's right, adults should also take a good rest." Zuo Zhiqiu forced a smile, but the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

Everyone began to wonder why they were not allowed to go to court after the time passed, but at this moment, there was a sound of rustling footsteps at the door.Everyone looked at each other and smiled, thinking that Eunuch Jin came to announce that the people had come to court.Just about to arrange the clothes and welcome the arrival of Jin Gonggong.But he saw Eunuch Jin covered in white clothes, followed by a large number of white-clothed and white-armored guards.At this scene, the officials present and the prince looked at each other in shock.The second prince even vaguely thought of something, and couldn't help showing a little bit of ecstasy on his face!Seeing that Eunuch Jin saw all the officials staring at each other, Master Fu Shen couldn't help feeling more suspicious, and shouted: "Eunuch, what's going on?"

Unexpectedly, the father-in-law fell to the ground with a slap, crying with tears running down his cheeks, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the old man passed away!" Clap!Immediately there was a sound of breathing and the sound of teacups breaking in the room.All the officials were dumbfounded and didn't know why.The eldest prince stood up abruptly, with tears streaming down his eyes.The second prince squinted his eyes, staring at the back of the eldest prince with a slight sneer.

It was Shoufu who was the first to react, and hurriedly knelt down, shouting with a choked voice: "God bless me! Your Majesty!" Those officials immediately reacted, kneeling in unison, whether sincerely or falsely. Alas.The first prince and the second prince were naturally unavoidable, and also knelt down and shouted: "Father! Why did you leave the child alone? Woohoo!" Regardless of the tears on his face, Eunuch Jin murmured: "Please also put on filial piety clothes!" , went with the guards to pay homage to the late emperor."

As soon as the words "Xian Huang" came out, all the officials couldn't help but look at their respective masters.The eldest prince and the second prince.On the contrary, Master Fu Shen mourned the emperor in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "How did the emperor... die?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone listened with bated breath, but saw that the father-in-law did not hesitate at all, and immediately said: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Shoufu, the emperor is frightened by overworked work and exhausted. The imperial doctor has made a diagnosis, and the old disease has relapsed." , powerless." At this time, everyone couldn't help thinking of the news that came a few days ago, saying that the emperor was seriously ill and had been lying in bed for a long time, but he still corrected the memorial.Thinking about what's going on now, it's understandable.

Everyone stood up without saying a word, took the filial piety clothes, and followed the white-clothed and white-armoured guards to the sacrificial temple.But at this moment, Jin Yuehua, Eunuch Jin, suddenly said respectfully to the two princes who were full of tears: "Your Highness, please wait a little longer. The Empress Dowager ordered His Highness to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, saying that there is something important to tell." Die, the world mourns.The empress dowager naturally wants to listen to politics behind the curtain and participate in state affairs.The eldest prince frowned and said, "Is it just me and my second brother?"

"No, no, Eunuch Li and Eunuch Wu will go to inform the other princes. It's not too late. Your Highness, please move quickly." The eldest prince sighed. At this time, he really hoped that Wang Shitu would be by his side to help him. consider.In desperation, the first prince had no choice but to look back at the second prince for advice.But the second prince nodded solemnly.Said to go together.Feeling helpless at the moment, the First Prince had no choice but to say: "Then please Eunuch lead the way." Having nothing to say at the moment, the two Highnesses walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation under Eunuch Jin's signal.

As soon as they arrived in the hall, they saw white cloths hanging everywhere, and all the princes were kneeling on the ground in white clothes, with extremely sad and uncomfortable expressions.That grandmother is Empress Dowager Lin.With gray hair and wrinkled face, he was sitting on a chair in a white robe.Although the expression is a bit painful, it is also stern.

What affects people more is not the departure of the beloved son, but the majesty of the world.Seeing this, the eldest prince and the second prince hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "My minister Zhang Youshi, Zhang Muzhi has seen the empress dowager!" The empress dowager slightly opened her eyes, and a flash of light reflected from her eyes, and said slowly: "Everyone! Here we come, let's start." As soon as the words were finished, guards with knives suddenly appeared from all over the place and closed the door with a bang.He stood outside the door, waiting for the empress dowager's dispatch.When the princes saw such a strange state, they trembled all over, and the anxiety immediately enveloped the entire Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Empress Dowager Lin, that is the general who followed the Taizu to conquer the world and conquered the Yuanmeng people everywhere!And the only female general.Although she is a female general, she is not as good as a man, and she is fierce and tough in fights.Sending troops to fight is also quite powerful.But the beauty of life.Taizu loved it very much.Consider it your own daughter.After the world was settled, it was betrothed to the prince, that is, Taizong.Taizong loved Lin deeply, and Lin also regarded Taizong as a couple.

When Taizong went out to conquer Yuanmeng, Lin also accompanied Taizong, but they did not bow to each other personally, and the two had a strong love.It's a pity that Taizong was not long, and Zhang Zonghai at that time was only at the age of just remembering things.Lin had no choice but to listen to the government behind the curtain, but he made a lot of achievements.He also taught Zhang Zonghai that he should no longer send troops rashly, waste the people and waste money, and destroy the foundation of the country.

The old lady looked at the trembling princes below.Suddenly sighed, and couldn't help but said sadly: "I still remember the scene when I followed the Taizu to fight the world. Later, I was blessed by the Taizu's grace and had to marry Taizong. At that time, the emperor was just a child. He yelled all day long. I want to eat sweet dates. Hehehe."

Speaking of this, there were some tears in the cloudy eyes, and immediately wiped them away calmly, and said reminiscingly: "All of a sudden he grew up and changed his own government. He knows a lot and sees a lot. The country that Taizu laid down, In fact, he managed him in an orderly manner. In a blink of an eye, he also started to grow gray hair, and he also became an old man." But at this moment, Lin's eyes suddenly widened, and the eyes were full of fierce light. He shouted: "Which one has no conscience! For the sake of your position, even your own father can be killed!"
