Chen Sheng's ceremonial war caused a commotion in the imperial city.

This was an unprecedented situation. It was not until Wang Lieyang came over that everyone learned the whole story.

"Captain Chen will enter the palace first." Wang Lieyang said.

It is also very puzzling to enter the palace first. Could it be that something happened in the palace? But if something really happened, Wang Lieyang would not be here.

"The Empress Dowager said she was unwell last night. His Majesty stayed for a night and did not allow the imperial physician to consult. The Imperial City Department had to invite the Prime Minister." Wang Lieyang said, with a calm expression, "Lu Zhongcheng has also entered the palace."

In this way, the officials present understood and all breathed a sigh of relief. The empress dowager had been making trouble for a long time. Since Duke Dumen of Qin Tan retreated, although he was trapped in the harem, the empress dowager scolded Wang Lieyang and Chen Sheng for bullying the orphan and widowed mother in the court.

Now I'm starting to pretend to be sick.

So what can I do if I pretend to be sick? Can the decision of the prime minister be influenced by a woman in the harem?

Just as we were talking, there was another commotion on the street, and another ceremonial war was coming. Without waiting to see who the person was, the voice of Song and Yuan dynasties had already sounded.

"...... Of course, I have to see how the person who came to court was seriously injured... Don't be a liar."

This is the arrival of Duke Qin Tan. Although Duke Qin Tan was a military general, as a minister of life, his ceremonial guards were only inferior to the two prime ministers. The officials on both sides also gave way like sea water. Duke Qin Tan rode on his horse, and officials were still surging around him, and Song and Yuan swaggered closely behind him.

When Duke Qin Tan saw Wang Lieyang in front of him, he dismounted and bowed.

Wang Lieyang also greeted him in a harmonious manner, and there was no sign of a grudge between the two.

"Last night, the Empress Dowager was not feeling well?"

"Yes, the grandfather has heard of it too... The grandfather still wants to persuade the Empress Dowager. Your Majesty is getting older and older, and she wants to set a good example."

The officials next to them all pricked their ears and listened to the sound and distinguished their meaning, just as before.

There was no long greetings. Wang Lieyang and Qin Tangong arrived at a fixed time to avoid waiting outside for too long and losing their identity. Soon the morning bell of the salute rang and the palace gate opened slowly.

Duke Tan of Qin reached out to Wang Lieyang for invitation. Wang Lieyang stepped forward and led all officials into the palace. The imperial guards stood in sternly on both sides of the palace gate. The leader responsible for guarding the imperial city saluted Wang Lieyang and other important officials.

Zhang Liantang stood in the back of the team, looked up and looked forward. The hall in front was sitting upright in the bright morning light. Zhang Liantang looked back again. Seeing that the palace gate was closing, the slowly closed gate could see a team of guards running past and dispersing outside the palace gate. The guards inside stood in front of the palace gate, blocking Zhang Liantang's view. The palace gate was closed behind them.

This is the same as before.

But, what about Xue Qing?

Zhang Liantang looked behind him and frowned. Should he wait until the summons to come?

The officials stepped to the front of the hall, and Xue Qing stood in the side hall and saw it.

Standing at a high place and looking down at nearly a thousand officials is different from standing in a queue. No wonder the emperors like to see the courtiers entering in one after another.

Unfortunately, I couldn't see Zhang Liantang Pei Yanzi and the others standing too far behind. Xue Qing tiptoed and saw the officials standing in front of the hall. Wang Lieyang and Qin Tan Gong whispered in the front, looking in the same direction, as if they were waiting for someone... Waiting for Chen Sheng?

.....

.....

"Don't wait, let's go in first, and we should come with Your Majesty." Wang Lieyang said.

Duke Qin Tan has always been distracted by these trivial matters and nodded with a smile when he heard this.

Song Yuan pricked his ears and heard muttering: "Is Chan Xiang Ye an eunuch? What a rule? Come and go in and out with His Majesty."

You're welcome to say this.

"Shut up." Wang Lieyang scolded Song Yuan without hesitation, "Captain Chen is in charge of his orders, so how can you give me some advice?"

Song Yuan was angry and wanted to refute, but Duke Qin Tan stopped talking after glanced at him, curled his lips and turned his head away.

Wang Lieyang ignored him anymore and stepped forward. The eunuchs in front of the hall opened the door and led the officials into the hall.

......

......

Xue Qing slid from the window here to the partition. There was no footsteps, and even her clothes were not fluttering and rubbing. The partition was a little high, so she had to tiptoe to see it out.

The hall was the same as before. The officials stood in order. This time they could see Zhang Liantang. He stood at the end with a tactful manner, and there was no sign of anything unusual, but... Xue Qing's mouth bent. It was obvious that this guy was distracted, not considered distracted. He should be thinking about when he would come.

Not many people knew about Chen Sheng entering the palace, but everyone who should know also knew, such as Wang Lieyang, Qin Tan Gong, Song Yuan and others, which could not be concealed.

Chen Sheng’s reason was to prevent being attacked halfway and keep it with him the safest, but Wang Lieyang, who seemed to know, and Qin Tan Gong who pretended not to know, didn’t care.

In fact, it was nothing she had when she came to the palace early. She had been resting in the side hall of the main hall. Chen Sheng said that today she could just come and listen and wait.

What are you waiting for? That’s the final step.

A clean whip sounded outside, and the officials immediately bowed their heads to bow, but the drums and music did not sound as usual, and footsteps came in from behind the hall.

"Your Majesty will not attend court today." Chen Sheng's voice sounded.

The officials who were about to bow their heads suddenly raised their heads in surprise and looked at Chen Sheng standing in the hall, with the Censor Central Chief who came in behind him, and the hall was suddenly in an uproar.

There are very few vacant vacancies on the dragon throne in front of the hall, because the country cannot be without a king for a day.

When the late emperor, Empress Empress, passed away, was the empress dowager who was pregnant and ruled the country from behind the curtain until the young emperor could sit in the hall by himself. Although the young emperor was young, he rarely missed except for occasional discomfort. At most, the time for attending court was shortened. After everyone worshiped, they discussed matters in another hall.

But I didn't hear the news that the little emperor was sick and suddenly stopped going to court. Of course, the officials of the court had to question it.

"Your Highness serves as the Empress Dowager and has not slept all night, so let him rest for a while." Chen Shengba said with a high voice.

The people also scolded the hall to stop the noise.

"Today's court meeting is to question witnesses and confront Qin Tan Gong." Chen Sheng's eyes swept across the hall and fell on Qin Tan Gong. "It will be submitted to His Majesty for the judgment after sorting out."

In this way, the officials present understood in their hearts that Qin Tan Gong was the little emperor's uncle after all, and he wanted to be punished by the dynasty. It would be better for the little emperor not to watch it with his own eyes, so as not to cry and make a fuss.

What does this mean? It means that Chen Sheng has already taken control of the inner court, and this matter was not his decision alone. The officials looked at Wang Lieyang, who had not seen his hands hanging aside.

The noise in the hall suddenly became half smaller, and only Qin Tan Gong's followers were still questioning.

"It is indeed not a conclusion whether there is a crime or not. It will be determined by Your Majesty and the people of the world." Chen Shengsurong shouted, raised his hand and signaled, "Dali Temple, please investigate the Lin Yue case."

Then the Dali Temple Minister stood up and looked at Qin Tan and said, "Mr. Qin, Lin Yue submitted evidence to accuse you of murdering the late emperor. Do you plead guilty?"

Before Qin Tangong could speak, Song Yuan jumped out and spat: "Are you the one who admitted your mother's crime? Is there anyone who tried the case like this?"

The ministers of Dali Temple were furious, and the censors in the hall also scolded them, and they were suddenly noisy and chaotic.

......

......

Xue Qing smiled and shook his head in the side hall, and his eyes fell on Zhang Liantang. Seeing that he still didn't care about the noise, he took advantage of the chaos and looked out... Wait until he came on stage.

It was not so fast, Xue Qing thought, and listened to Qin Tan Gong in front of him stopping the noise and simply answered that he would not admit guilt and reprimand the absurdity. So Dali Temple began to summon witnesses. According to the names of the people recorded in the notebook presented by Mr. Qingxia's old servant, except for the three who died in the house of Lutu, eight of the rest arrived.

The arrival of these eight people caused a little disturbance in the hall. They once served in the court or in the army, with high and low official positions, but they all participated in the Emperor Taishan Fengshan ten years ago, so many officials in the hall still remember to recognize them.

The old people and the old things ten years ago were pushed in front of us in an instant.
