Chapter 1355 Xuanma in the Snow

In the carriage.

Zhang Yue half-closed his eyes, and Han Zhongyan and Cai Bian were sitting in the car together.

Seeing that there was sweat on Zhang Yue's forehead, Cai Bian handed over his handkerchief and stepped forward. When Zhang Yue saw him, he reached out and stopped.

Cai Bian lowered his eyes and said, "Teacher."

Zhang Yue looked at Cai Bian after hearing the sound, but saw Han Zhongyan pretending to be calm and looking out the car window.

But I saw it under the imperial city.

Ranking of soldiers.

The imperial guards are in a confrontation.

Outside the car window, under the imperial city, the imperial guards and the auxiliary troops lined up to confront each other. An imperial guard general raised his head and drank a large sip of wine, and threw the wine bag to the auxiliary soldiers on the opposite side. The other party took it, drank it without hesitation, and threw it back.

Although the swords and guns were all placed, the tips and guns of each other were hanging very low, but there was still a momentum of breaking out.

"Han Da, you have grown."

Zhang Yue's words are sarcastic.

Han Zhongyan said: "Duke Wei, it's time for us to be together on the same boat, don't complain."

Zhang Yue pointed to his forehead and said, "Resentment?"

"You want to do military advice, but you have put all the blame on me. Today's affairs are just like the Gaopingling Incident. I can't escape the infamy of Sima Yi!"

Han Zhongyan said seriously: "Duke Wei, no matter how he said this, he was the one who sent military counselors. The Privy Councilor Zhang Dun knew about it but did not report it, and even intended to indulge it."

"These two people are all guilty. The historical books only say that Mr. Wei is ordered by the late emperor to rectify the chaos and create the Song Dynasty again!"

Zhang Yue looked at Han Zhongyan with a smile, looked at Cai Bian and asked, "What do you think about Yuandu?"

Cai Bian said: "Students follow the teacher's leadership!"

"Today's things are like an arrow on the string, I have to start! The teacher has no choice but to do so, but we can't help it."

Zhang Yue said: "You said you were involuntarily, but I don't think so. I said that the Privy Councilor Zhang Dun knew but did not report it. He knew that there was a military remonstrance, but he deliberately indulged it. I believe this."

"But do you two contribute to the fire?"

"You dare to say that you can't help yourself?"

Han Zhongyan sneered: "Duke Wei, when you elected Yuandu and me as the Eastern Palace Master Guard, you should have arranged this far to this point."

"We have been closely related to the emperor."

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "I'm not wrong. Han Da, you were instructed by the Empress Dowager! No wonder you were talking about it when drafting the edict in Dingli Temple."

Han Zhongyan was stunned and then said calmly: "What Mr. Wei said is right. I did report to the Empress Dowager in advance."

Then Han Zhongyan said, "Duke Wei, today's affairs are natural. You say you have no choice but to do it, and Yuandu and I have no choice but to do this. Isn't it for your own glory and wealth?"

"How could the late emperor have been reforming for twenty years? As Sima Guang said, stopping as soon as he said?"

"Once the new law is just gone, no one can afford it, and even the Xihe Road that has been built will fall apart, even the entire northwest will fall apart! Duke Wei belongs to the world! Now, only Duke Wei climbs up and calls to the top to set off the emperor's will! "

Zhang Yue closed his eyes and said nothing.

...

The carriage slowly drove into Xuande Gate. The soldiers guarding along the way saw the carriage coming and retreated to salute.

Zhang Yue stepped off the carriage, and the morning light fell on the golden tiles of the palace walls, reflecting a new atmosphere. He stood with his hands behind his back, and his eyes quietly swept across the palace city.

Behind him, Li Qingchen and Zhang Qi got out of the car one after another, and the three of them stood solemnly and stared at the imperial city for a while.

Liu Changzuo, deputy commander of the Palace Front Department, and several auxiliary generals met and hurriedly stepped forward to pay homage.

Zhang Yue looked at the generals of the auxiliary army and his voice was calm: "The secret office has transferred the Northern auxiliary army into the city to suppress the rebellion. You and others immediately led their troops back to the camp. If they stayed again, they would be punished as a rebellion!"

Several generals of the auxiliary army bowed and said, "Mr. Zhang, we don't want to return to the camp! We just want to go north to Hebei and fight to the death with the Liao people!"

Zhang Yue frowned slightly, his tone slowed down: "What's this?"

"Your actions yesterday were originally a kind advice from the court, and I have my own opinions. But if you stay in the palace again, it would be a usurpation!"

When the generals heard this, they bowed solemnly: "The last general will take the order! We will strictly restrain our subordinates and wait for the slaughter of Wei Gongjun."

Liu Changzuo looked at Zhang Yue's words and calmed down the military admonition, thinking that this military admonition was indeed the commander behind Mr. Zhang. With this thought, he was sweating in a cold sweat, fearing that his life would be difficult to save.

Zhang Yue looked at Liu Changzuo sideways and said lightly: "Official family, Empress Dowager, where is the Empress Dowager?"

Liu Changzuo quickly bowed and replied, "Everyone is in Funing Palace."

Zhang Yue nodded slightly: "You follow me to enter the palace."

Although Liu Changzuo was already the chief of the palace, he was not confident in front of important officials like Zhang Yue and lacked confidence, so he immediately bowed down and obeyed the order.

Zhang Yue said to Han Zhongyan, Cai Bian and the other two again: "You two stay at Xuande Gate to appease all officials, and then discuss it after I enter the palace to meet the saint."

After saying that, he tidied up his sleeves and stepped into the palace with Liu Changzuo, Zhang Yu and Li Qingchen, and headed straight to Funing Palace.

Along the way, Zhang Yue saw many eunuchs holding swords and arrows, guarding the main road of the palace gate, obviously they were also in case of accidents. Of course, he might have been caught in a turtle in a jar at this moment.

However, Zhang Yue did not hesitate and stepped forward.

When they arrived in front of the Funing Hall, they saw Yan Shouying and Liang Weijian each with a group of eunuchs guarding the hall. When they saw Zhang Yue, they immediately entered the palace to report.

In the Funing Hall, Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Dowager Xiang sat on both sides, neither of which were left behind. The young emperor was held on a chair by the eunuch, and his tender face was a little confused.

After Zhang Yue paid a visit, Empress Dowager Gao ordered the eunuch to give sauts to the three of them.

Empress Dowager Gao did not ask Zhang Yu or Li Qingchen, but asked Zhang Yue: "Zhang Qing, how many riots are there outside?"

Zhang Yue said: "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, I have never seen any soldiers except Liu Changzuo!"

When Liu Changzuo heard this, he closed his eyes and thought to himself, and he was dead.

Empress Dowager Gao glanced at Liu Changzuo and asked, "There are no rioters outside? That means there are rioters in the court."

Zhang Yue smiled bitterly and said, "I have been practicing Zen in Dingli Temple last night until this morning when I realized the big thing."

Empress Dowager Gao looked at the Empress Dowager knowingly.

Zhang Yue said: "I think now is not the time to settle old accounts."

"This is a draft edict drafted by the Secretary of the Central Committee. Please ask the Empress Dowager to take a look!"

Li Qingchen and Zhang Qi were silent on the side. Empress Dowager Gao took the edict with some thoughts and looked at Li Qingchen, and Zhang Qi laughed and said, "This is all like bowing, what's the big deal?"

Empress Dowager Gao said to the emperor: "There are ministers in the court who want you to be Emperor Xian of Han."

Zhang Yue said to Hou Li and Liu Changzuo on the side: "Liu Changzuo, are you going to rebel?"

Liu Changzuo was so scared that he was out of his mind and hurriedly bowed: "I must not dare."

Zhang Yue said to Empress Dowager Gao: "The Empress Dowager is clear, Liu Changzuo said he dare not."

"I also think he dares not. Liu Changzuo has been in the Western Army for many years, but as soon as he was transferred to the capital, he would never dare to have such an unconventional intention."

"Of course, the former commander Yan Da dared not."

Liu Changzuo was still sweating profusely.

Empress Dowager Gao laughed at Liu Changzuo and said, "The dynasty has not changed yet, but someone has got off the ship early."

Empress Dowager Gao said, "Who does this draft edict mean?"

Zhang Yue said: "The meaning of all the ministers."

"That's your intention?"

Zhang Yue said: "I came to submit an edict on behalf of all the ministers."

"Why did the ministers all come to Dingli Temple to discuss the edict? Is it because the three provinces and one courtyard are not in the palace city, but in Dingli Temple?"

Empress Dowager Gao said angrily.

Zhang Yue didn't say anything, his body leaned back slightly, and Li Qingchen and Zhang Yu understood each other.

Li Qingchen and Zhang Qi said one after another: "You have reported to the Empress Dowager, and you have no idea about the military chaos with Duke Wei in advance."

"I originally wanted to enter the court, but I was blocked by the riots, but there was no one in Dingli Temple. I thought about it and asked Duke Wei to come out to take charge of the overall situation and quell the military chaos."

"I happened to meet all the ministers."

Li Qingchen and Zhang Yu separated the relationship between their words.

After the two of them finished speaking, Zhang Yue said: "The late emperor asked me to consult on military and national affairs on his deathbed. Now, I have to come forward to settle the chaos."

"If the Empress Dowager feels that I am suspicious and is not worthy of taking charge of this matter, I am willing to resign from all official positions and return to Lao Jianzhou immediately."

Xiang the Empress Dowager said, "Duke Wei inherited the will of the previous emperor Yuanfeng, and he still had to rely on the emperor to handle state affairs in the court."

"Otherwise, how can the rioters retreat?"

After saying that, Empress Dowager Xiang looked firmly at Empress Dowager Gao.

Empress Dowager Gao couldn't help but feel angry when she saw Empress Dowager Xiang.
