Chapter Five Hundred and Thirteen: Entering the Palace (Monthly Pass)
A broken military horse, protecting the carriage, slowly penetrated into the door opening.
When an eunuch sent the token of the Empress Dowager to the gatekeepers, the guards of the imperial city were shocked at first, and then they were stunned, but then they knelt on both sides of the door opening afterwards. Then they saw the officers and soldiers of the Warriors Battalion, all of whom were tired, slowly passing through the door opening.
Although they were tired, the team was still neat, so even though they could see from their blood-filled eyes that the group of people seemed listless, their steps were still the same.
They still took steps together, each step was two and a half inches, not too much, not too much, not too much, not at all, without any mistakes.
Moreover, everyone in the Warriors camp looked calm, and there was no slight pride or a smug look because they defeated the rebels. They passed through the door in a quiet and orderly manner, with no sound except for the occasional neighing of a few horses or the sound of the wheels turning of the car.
More than 300 people were just protecting the car and passing by silently. Some people raised their eyes boldly and could suddenly feel a strong smell of blood.
At the back of the team, there was a prison car, and there was a man with disheveled hair in the prison car, while Chen Kaizhi rode a horse and followed the Queen Mother's car.
In fact, Chen Zhijing on the other side was wearing gorgeous costumes, and the guards behind him were all tall and big, with distinctive armor. But from a distance, it was hard to find how majestic they were. On the other hand, this walking warrior camp gave people a feeling of being breathless.
Xu Jie was in the team, and he seemed very inconspicuous, just like the vast majority of people. At this time, he and the others had their eyes covered with blood, and they were about to move quickly during the day. At night, just in case, the Warriors Camp was also on duty.
After fierce battles, pursuits, and long journeys, even sleep has become a luxury. In the past two days, they have been energetic and dare not neglect at all, for fear of another accident. Therefore, they are very tired now. If they can, they can sleep to death by the ground.
Even though he was extremely tired and sleepy, Xu Jie was still energetic. His endurance was amazing. In fact, the most outstanding thing in the Warriors camp was not the explosive power brought by their physical strength, but the kind of perseverance that had been engraved in his bones.
This kind of tenacity breaks through the limits of the human body again and again during practice, constantly refreshing one's tolerance. In fact, compared to the troubles of these days, during practice, you will often let you stand in the scorching sun for a day. The torment of sweating all over your body, flying insects flying over, and physical body is the most terrible. Being able to survive the exercises on the mountain is nothing for Xu Jie and others, the torment of the current moment is really nothing.
This battle actually made Xu Jie look brand new. The lonely and torturous days on the mountain shaped his new outlook on life, allowing him to learn to endure, learn to enjoy loneliness, and enjoy the isolated life. Now, he finally realizes that he is different from others.
In other words, before going up the mountain, he was the same as everyone else. Now, the education on the mountain and the extremely harsh training finally made him realize that he was unique in this battle.
I, Xu Jie, was from the Warriors Camp, and I shouldered a mission from the very beginning.
This is a strange sense of mission. This sense of mission comes from a person realizing how excellent he is, so he naturally begins to become proud.
So, even under extreme fatigue, he subconsciously raised his chest.
He straightened his chest not to show off, but because he felt that he should have been like this.
Countless people looked at the streets along the way, while the Warriors Camp passed quietly. Finally, Luoyang Palace was already far away.
The soldiers of the Warriors' camp stopped, and Chen Kaizhi bowed to the Empress Dowager's carriage and said, "I will fulfill my mission, please ask the Empress Dowager to enter the palace."
The car stopped, the Empress Dowager rolled up the curtain, looked at the towering Luoyang Palace, sighed deeply in her heart, and then withdrew her gaze. The next moment, her eyes fell on Chen Kaizhi, with a hint of warmth in her eyes, and she said calmly: "Send Ai's family to the palace."
Chen Kaizhi understood the Empress Dowager's intentions and hugged his hands and said, "Abide by the order."
When he arrived at the palace gate, Chen Kaizhi was about to dismount because under normal circumstances, he was not allowed to ride a horse into the palace. At this time, the eunuch who was serving the Empress Dowager's carriage hurried over and said, "The Empress Dowager told me that there is no need to dismount!"
Chen Kaizhi suddenly felt embarrassed because he saw that Chen Zhijing had already dismounted and the prince was not going to enter the palace. He was just a small editor, so what qualifications did he have to enter the palace?
Although the Empress Dowager gave the order, this is too ostentatious!
However, since the Empress Dowager had an order, he could only nod to the eunuch as he did, and rode his horse with him by the phoenix.
Behind them were palace maids, eunuchs, King Zhao's guards and warrior camp waiting outside the palace.
Chen Zhijing followed the side of the carriage. He unexpectedly looked at Chen Kaizhi who was still on the horse, his face slightly turned pale, and his eyes actually glared at Chen Kaizhi coldly.
At this moment, he felt very unhappy. He was the emperor's father and the empress dowager's legitimate son. What is your Chen Kaizhi? He just made contributions to protecting the emperor?
Haha, isn’t it your duty to protect yourself? Why can you enter the palace with your own horse? It’s simply too much!
However, although King Zhao felt quite resentful, he did not show any expression on his face. The cold light in his eyes immediately disappeared, making people unable to see his true emotions.
At this time, in Wencheng Hall, because of this urgent memorial, the ministers had already been summoned.
Queen Mother Mu had looked at the urgent comment for two or three hours, but she still could not determine the authenticity of the good news. The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet had many different opinions and could not give a positive answer, so she simply summoned ministers from various ministries to discuss this together.
This good news undoubtedly gave Queen Mother Mu hope, but this hope was too fragile.
At this time, Empress Dowager Mu was quite confused, and she was surprised and happy, but couldn't help but worry. Sitting on the phoenix chair, she held her hands tightly, and her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowning, and she was so confused.
But at this moment, the ministers still couldn't tell the reason. In fact, before the sure news came, everything was false. Now it was too convincing, and it was too early to say anything.
However, Chen Zhengdao, the prince of Beihai, just sneered repeatedly. At this time, he calmly said: "Empress, I think this good news is ridiculous and ridiculous. I have led troops. I know the matter of this marching and war. If the Warriors Battalion really defeats the rebels in this kind of battle, well, even if they have the ability, it is impossible to annihilate it. Annihilation requires more than three times the force, otherwise it will be repelled at most. Everyone here knows how many people there are in the Warriors Battalion. This good news is full of loopholes and absurd places. There are countless absurd places. If the ministers dare to protect the heads, this good news must have been forged by someone, or even in the worst case. Maybe the rebels have attacked Hangu Pass and borrowed the seal from Hangu Pass to send this good news. I think it is to paralyze the court."
He spoke with great sensibility. Many people nodded secretly when they heard this. They still felt that Chen Zhengdao's words were quite reasonable. Chen Zhengdao had the experience of joining the army, and what others were hard to say, as a noble man in heaven, he could say fearlessly.
At this time, Chen Zhengdao said again: "My subordinates even guessed a more terrifying situation. How could Hangu Pass be easily fallen into the hands of the rebels? Could it be that the rebels took down some important figures and threatened to open the door? My subordinates dared to fight again. The person who welcomed the chariot was Chen Kaizhi. He led the warrior camp to welcome the chariot. Maybe the rebels took Chen Kaizhi. Chen Kaizhi was completely unscrupulous and surrendered. Finally,
He opened his eyes for the thief and went to Hangu Pass. The soldiers of Hangu Pass thought that Chen Kaizhi came back with the Warriors camp. When the door was closed, the thief army took advantage of the situation and rushed into the city. If this is the case, it would be terrible. I heard that the Empress actually asked Chen Kaizhi to be included in the royal family. This... is to make a laugh. The situation is unclear now, but the Empress has issued an imperial edict. I also heard that the Zong Ling Mansion has entered the silver plate for Chen Kaizhi, this..."
Before Chen Zhengdao finished speaking, the palace was in an uproar.
His Highness, Prince Beihai, really let himself go.
His imagination is really strange.
But now, no one can tell the difference between good and bad news, but some people are really starting to worry.
Originally, it would be chaotic if the Empress Dowager was taken away by a rebel. Now, if such a thing happens again, is it going to be a big deal? This is going to shake the earth.
Queen Mother Mu was frightened when she heard this. She did not trust Chen Zhengdao, but Chen Zhengdao said that he was a representative of the army and kept saying that he wanted to take the head of his neck as a guarantee. This...
Queen Mother Mu was really desperate, her face twitched slightly, her mouth was slightly pale, and she was very scared deep in her heart. If Chen Kaizhi really followed the thief, it would be a welcome thing to survive, but with this stain, how can we recognize each other in the future?
She felt a mess, but she couldn't show it at this moment. She could only try her best to hold it back, and put her hands on her forehead and listened carefully.
Someone echoed, "Empress, if this is the case, as His Highness the Prince said, it would be a joke. Please find out as soon as possible, otherwise..."
