Chapter 1046 1047 [Confusing]

"I'm fine."

Emperor Kaiping calmed down the frightened crowd near the platform with his words. He was supported by the internal eunuchs Liu Bao and Hou Yu, and he still maintained the demeanor expected of a strong king.

However, Gu Liang, who rushed to the top of the platform, frowned because he could hear the forcibly suppressed pain in the emperor's voice.

After Liu Xian bandaged the wound, he showed an uncharacteristically tough attitude and asked the commander of the Forbidden Army, Hejian Hou Li Zi, to carry him personally to the bottom of the platform. Although this was detrimental to the prince's dignity, no one cared about such a trivial matter at the moment.

Judging from what happened just now, His Majesty must have been attacked by a shameless villain. Some of the sharp-eyed ministers could even see inconspicuous blood stains on the hem of Emperor Kaiping's black crown robe.

The top priority is obviously to provide a rough solution to the sudden chaos while His Majesty the Emperor is still awake. Only in this way can we ensure the stability of people inside and outside Kyoto.

Emperor Kaiping stood with his back upright and looked around at everyone below. Some of the important officials in the court had disappeared. This was also expected by him, but there was no time to vent his anger at the moment, so he said as calmly as possible: "Pass the decree."

Except for Liu Xian and Li Zi, everyone else knelt on the ground.

"I am ill and need to rest for a few days. Prince Liu Xian will temporarily supervise the country."

The matter was urgent, so Liu Xian could only bow and respond with the support of Li Zi: "My son, I accept the order."

The first person to bear the brunt was naturally the only official duke of Daliang, Zuo Junji Wang Pingzhang.

Everyone knows that the Western Camp of the Beijing Army is Wang Pingzhang's territory. From the head coach Changxing Hou Qujiang to a certain guerrilla sentry below, they are all Wang Pingzhang's confidants who have been promoted over the years. When he encountered suppression in the past few years, Wang Pingzhang retreated step by step.

They were even willing to hand over the military power to their children, but nothing has changed in Xiying.

But that's not the point.

Gu Liang stared into the other party's deep eyes and said softly: "Maybe in the west camp of the Beijing Army."

After Wang Pingzhang was finally willing to withdraw from the court and received the emperor's permission, most people's attention was focused on the Yanping Hunt held at the end of the month. The arrangement of the court and the military was also aimed at this matter. The other party's early launch was obviously unexpected.

But even Gu Liang could detect the strangeness. Could it be that Emperor Kaiping ignored this?

Pinning all hopes on Yanping Huihui, the two sides are fighting for their names, and Wang Pingzhang is definitely not so naive as he is cunning and sophisticated.

The right ruler Luo Ting felt a deep worry in his heart. His Majesty's judgment and response today were a bit abnormal. It was not like the decisive and thoughtful manner in the past. Could it be that His Majesty's injury was really that serious?

"You rush to Ximen now. Anyone who wants to take advantage of the chaos to leave the capital will be detained pending investigation and punishment."

"Guard the palace for me."

As long as Emperor Kaiping hasn't decided to break up, he will not touch the Western Camp of the Beijing Army, just like the Tibetan Front Guard did to Pei Yue.

"I'm here!"

Xiao Jin saluted and stood up. Although his steps were fast, there was no sign of anxiety on his face, and his general's demeanor was undoubtedly revealed.

"I accept the decree."

Gu Liang bowed slightly and said: "Sir."

Prince Liu Xian, Mo Haoli and Luo Ting and other important ministers accompanied him back to the palace.

"The two ministers are staying in the palace during this period to preside over the government affairs. They must do their best to assist the prince in charge of the country."

At this moment, many important officials discovered something strange, that is, after some soldiers in the garrison rebelled and His Majesty was assassinated, some people actually took advantage of the chaos and left the Ancestral Temple early.

Before leaving, Mo Haoli walked up to Gu Liang and said, "Marquis Guangping."

Emperor Kaiping continued: "Mo Hao Li, Luo Ting."

Mo Haoli coughed twice and sighed: "Where is Wang Pingzhang now?"

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

Normally, Emperor Kaiping would have greatly praised the commander of the Forbidden Army who had loyally followed him when he was in hiding. But at this moment, he just nodded slightly, which could explain a lot of things.

Emperor Kaiping turned his head and said: "Gu Liang."

What Gu Liang was thinking was different from others. He understood Wang Pingzhang's methods and temperament better. When the eight-oxen crossbows on the northwest corner tower were launched, Wang Pingzhang was not left in the chaos, and it is certainly impossible to do so now. Although today

The defense of the Imperial Ancestral Temple is in charge of the Imperial Guard and the Forbidden Army. However, with Wang Pingzhang’s foundation and power of having been in charge of the military for decades, as long as Emperor Kaiping didn’t say anything, who would dare to stop the leader of the military?

Maybe the entire Duke of Wei's mansion is empty now.

The two obeyed the leader's orders.

"I'm here."

"I'm here."

"Every battalion of the Beijing army is strictly ordered to stay where they are. Anyone who acts without purpose will be regarded as treason. In addition, you must find out the source of today's chaos. No one involved in it can be let go."

Mo Haoli sighed again, and then said slowly: "The Imperial Army cannot leave the palace without authorization. This is why Your Majesty specifically mentioned Li Zi. I don't know if Your Majesty is sure of victory, but there must be no problems within the palace.

.As a result, the burden of guarding Kyoto will fall on the shoulders of the garrison division. I wonder if 30,000 people can guard Kyoto?"

All the noble and civil servants could not hide their grief at this moment, and some of them could not help but choked with sobs.

"I accept the decree!"

Gu Liang sighed softly in his heart. In fact, the name of the culprit was already coming out.

Emperor Kaiping took a deep breath, his face turned slightly pale, and after a short pause he said, "Li Zi."

Many people had complicated emotions in their hearts. If Gu Liang hadn't rescued Liu Xian at the critical moment, I'm afraid His Majesty the Emperor wouldn't have given him such trust. After Pei Yue's rise to prominence, Gu Liang's light became increasingly dim, most of the time.

They are all trapped in the documents of the Xifu. However, today he rescued the prince. As long as the chaos in Kyoto can be quelled, there is no doubt that the Guangping Houfu will enjoy the wealth of several generations in the future.

Emperor Kaiping seemed unaware. After a brief hesitation, he issued the fourth edict: "The military affairs of the Western Prefecture and the city defense of Kyoto will be jointly led by Guliang, the Marquis of Guangping, and Xiao Jin, the Marquis of Xiangcheng."

"I'm here."

Now that the situation is becoming clearer, Wang Pingzhang will have to do something wrong after taking the first step. The key lies in whether the matter exceeds Emperor Kaiping's expectations and how many trump cards he still holds in his hand.

Regardless of whether Emperor Kaiping and Liu Xian died on the altar of sacrifice to heaven, since the other party dared to take the first step, there would definitely be follow-up actions. The current situation is chaotic. As a king, he would rather kill the wrong one and never miss it. In order to stabilize the overall situation of the DPRK

After that, it is only right to directly send the imperial army to break through the Duke's palace of Wei and at the same time seize the military power of the general of the Western Camp of the Beijing Army.

"Imperial doctor!"

These six simple words made Li Zi, a tall and proud man, burst into tears. While holding on to Liu Xian's left arm, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I will serve you to the death!"

He looked at the left-wing leader Mo Haoli in front of him and saw that the old man was silent, so he did not ask any questions on the spot.

Gu Liang's mind was spinning, and he quickly went through the whole incident.

A sudden shout from the front woke Gu Liang out of his thoughts. He looked up and saw that Emperor Kaiping, who had issued several decrees one after another, finally passed out and even after the imperial doctor emergency medical treatment, he still didn't wake up and could only stay in the harem.

Surrounded by concubines, he was hurriedly presented to the imperial chariot.

Any act of mercy at this time will lead to self-destruction, and all the iron cavalry should be deployed to control everyone related to Wang Pingzhang.

Emperor Kaiping said in a deep voice: "Xiao Jin."

Gu Liang looked complicated and said: "Do your best."

From the beginning to the end, neither of them mentioned the North Camp and the South Camp of the Beijing Army, nor did they say why Emperor Kaiping did not issue an order to capture Wang Pingzhang before he fell into coma.

Mo Haoli did not continue to ask, nodded slightly and then bowed his hands and said: "Please."

Gu Liang stepped aside and said in a deep voice: "Sir, please don't worry."
