Novel..org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Han Guan!
The Imperial Palace is also called Luoyang Palace. The main palaces include Taiji Hall (where the emperor handles daily government affairs), Mingyang Hall, Furong Hall, Chengguang Hall, Renshou Hall, Mingguang Hall, etc.
The main hall, Taiji Hall, has twelve rooms, where the emperor handles government affairs on a daily basis; behind the hall is the Xianyang Hall, where the queen lives.
But Jia Nanfeng obviously did not live in Xianyang Palace, but moved to Changqiu Palace, which covers a wider area and has more beautiful scenery, and included most of Hualin Garden as a private garden.
Under the protection of a group of trusted people, Jia Nanfeng arrived at the Tai Chi Hall without any danger.
The reason why it was a near miss is because on the way, Jia Nanfeng still met some people who wanted to capture her and grab the credit.
but.
Although Jia Nanfeng has lost power, he still has some strength after operating in the palace for many years.
There are also many dead soldiers and loyal guards.
Along the way, Tai Chi Hall is already in sight.
The Taiji Hall in the Luoyang City Palace was the central main hall of the palace from the Cao Wei to the Northern Wei Dynasties. It was the first main hall of the palace that was "built as a pole" in Chinese history, and it was also the largest main hall in the history of the Chinese capital.
Since the Cao Wei period of the Three Kingdoms, Emperor Wei Ming built a palace in Luoyang. Taiji Hall has been regarded as the main hall of the palace. National political activities, New Year's Day, the new emperor's accession to the throne, amnesty and Yuan Dynasty, political decision-making and other important state activities have been carried out in Taiji Hall.
Since the Three Kingdoms, China has formed the Tai Chi Hall system. From then on, until the Tang and Song Dynasties and until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the main halls of all imperial palaces were Tai Chi Halls.
It has a single palace structure with Taiji Hall as the center and a single architectural axis of the capital. Taiji Hall is the main dynasty, and the east and west halls juxtaposed on the east and west sides are the "East and West Hall system" of the regular dynasty. There are three palace gates in front of the central main hall.
The "Five Gates and Three Dynasties" system of the three main palaces in the palace, arranged in columns from north to south, created a new era of palace system and capital layout in ancient China.
The Tai Chi Hall is built on a tall two-story platform with a width of 12 rooms. There are two steps on the left and right on the front to ascend the hall.
There are 4 gold and bronze pillars in the palace. It is the largest and most luxurious palace in the Wei Palace. There are East Hall and West Hall on both sides.
The Tai Chi Hall is the main hall where the emperor holds important ceremonial activities such as court meetings. The East Hall is where the emperor handles court affairs on a daily basis, summons ministers, and gives lectures. The West Hall is where the emperor lives daily. The main hall, Tai Chi Hall, is juxtaposed with the East and West Halls.
Walking towards the Tai Chi Hall, one cannot help but feel that one is very small.
Of course, Jia Nanfeng has no intention to care about this feeling now.
When they arrived outside the Tai Chi Hall, armored white-haired generals walked over with anxious expressions. It was Guo Tong, the commander of the Forbidden Army.
"Uncle, is Your Majesty among them?"
Guo Tong nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty is in the west hall."
"It would be nice if Your Majesty is here."
Jia Nanfeng exhaled a breath of turbid air.
"Queen, what's going on?"
Guo Tong obviously wanted to know something.
"The situation is no longer optimistic."
Jia Nanfeng sighed softly and said: "The prince has conspired to rebel, and now he is taking 20,000 people from the south camp to break into the palace."
"this..."
Hearing that the situation had reached this level, Guo Tong's face suddenly turned pale.
"What does the queen want?"
After all, the queen is one of her own, and even if he doesn't help the queen, the prince will punish him.
The two of them have long been grasshoppers on a rope.
They have the same interests, so they are of the same mind.
"How many people do you have?"
Guo Tong looked a little embarrassed.
"Less than five hundred."
Five hundred people are worth 20,000. Isn't this just throwing an egg at a stone?
Even Jia Mi, who was behind Jia Nanfeng, suddenly turned pale.
"Queen, otherwise, let's run!"
"run?"
Jia Nanfeng looked back at Jia Mi angrily and asked, "Where are you running to?"
"this..."
Jia Mi also hesitated.
"At worst, it's true that you can stay anonymous and save your life."
"Haha, you have a beautiful idea. If everyone could hide their name and escape unscathed, then there would really be fewer deaths in this world."
"Then staying in the palace is not just courting death?"
Jia Mi gradually lost his composure.
"With a stupid emperor? Maybe the prince doesn't care about his life or death."
"Be careful!"
Jia Nanfeng's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"This world has always belonged to your Majesty. The prince is just your majesty's heir. As long as your majesty is with you, the prince can only be the prince."
Jia Mi was about to cry.
He really couldn't see a shred of hope.
"If you are afraid, you can leave and remain anonymous."
Jia Mi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, not to mention others, he was very emotional now.
But after thinking about it for a while, he could only throw this idea away.
Jia Nanfeng is right, it is too difficult to remain anonymous.
Furthermore, when they came to Tai Chi Hall, they encountered several groups of people. If he had escaped alone, he might have been eaten by these people who wanted to take credit.
Although the situation in Tai Chi Hall is also in danger.
But maybe...
Is there really a miracle?
Although even Jia Mi didn't believe it, he didn't dare to believe that a miracle would happen.
"Just go in."
The decoration of the west hall is very luxurious.
All the arrangements were made according to Sima Yan's standards at that time.
Of course, Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty, Sima Zhong, had very few concubines.
The reason is of course related to Jia Nanfeng.
At this time, the master of the empire, Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty, Jia Nanfeng, was having a great time making clay figures with two eunuchs in the west hall.
Even when Jia Nanfeng came, he didn't know it.
Maybe it's not completely unknown.
But he didn't want to care at all.
"His Majesty."
Jia Nanfeng walked up, and the eunuchs stepped aside knowingly.
"Queen, why are you here?"
Although Emperor Hui of Jin was stupid, he still knew Jia Nanfeng.
"Your Majesty, your son wants to kill you."
"kill me?"
Sima Zhong's hand suddenly shrank, his face looked very frightened, and his brows were knitted together.
"Who wants to kill me?"
"Prince."
"No, no!"
Emperor Hui of Jin threw the clay figurine out of his hand.
"No one can kill me. Father said, no one can kill me."
Your father has been dead for many years.
"The prince wants to kill you, does your majesty not want to die?"
"Of course I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
Jia Nanfeng smiled happily. The way she treated Sima Zhong was as if she was not treating an emperor or a husband, but the way she spoke to her own children.
"Then your Majesty will let the prince die, okay?"
"Let the prince die?"
Sima Zhong rubbed his hands, there seemed to be some hesitation on his fat face.
"Why is it that either the prince dies or I die?"
"Does your Majesty want my concubine to die?"
Jia Nanfeng burst into tears at that time.
"I don't want the queen to die either."
Seeing Jia Nanfeng crying, Sima Zhong suddenly felt a little scared.
"Then let the prince die."
Sima Zhong nodded.
"good."
"When the prince comes later, you let him die."
Sima Zhong nodded again.
"good."
"If the prince dies, your majesty will not have to die, and my concubine will not have to die. When the time comes, how about I give your majesty many, many toys?"
"Okay, I want toys, I want toys!"
Looking at Emperor Jin Hui's foolish look, Jia Nanfeng sighed deeply, not knowing whether he was happy or sad.
Because of the stupidity of Emperor Hui of Jin Sima Zhong, she was able to take sole power in the court and become the de facto controller of the empire.
but..
If Emperor Hui of Jin had not been stupid, how could she be where she is today?
If there is a strong man by her side, why should she be the concubine?
However, it is no longer necessary to say these things.
It’s hard to recover when you cover the water. How can there be so many what-ifs in the world?
Even if there is a situation, there is no way to go back.
After leaving Emperor Jin Hui aside, Jia Nanfeng said to the eunuch behind Emperor Jin Hui: "Naiguan Liu should change clothes with His Majesty. His appearance is not suitable for meeting the prince."
"promise!"
This Liu Neiguan was none other than Liu Jing, the Imperial Seal Officer. Apart from Emperor Hui of Jin, the most important one was the jade seal.
If the prince gets the jade seal, even if the people from the Beigong come and see the edict with the jade seal, they will not dare to violate it even if they think about it.
The road ahead is blocked.
It depends on whether this prince is really a filial person.
In other words, we have to see if this prince is really smart or really stupid.
If you are a smart person...
Hey~
Jia Nanfeng shook his head. It was still too difficult for him to survive now.
Outside the palace.
The army gathered, Wang Dun was wearing armor, he looked like a god, but in front of the god-like Wang Dun, there was a prince.
Sima Yu was wearing a formal crown as a prince today. In terms of temperament, even Wang Dun was inferior to him.
Behind Sima Yu, Wang Sheng was also riding a black horse.
Wang Sheng changed his clothes, not as a general, but in a white robe, looking like a scholar on the staff.
In fact, even if Wang Sheng exercises regularly and wears armor, he may not be as good-looking as Wang Dun.
"Your Highness, you have been waiting outside the palace for so long, and I still can't enter the palace."
Sima Yu shook his head slightly.
Although there was anxiety in his eyes.
He is only one step away from taking power. It is impossible to say that he doesn't care.
But thinking of his mother and his reputation, Sima Yu still held back.
"I don't dare to use my sword before my mother arrives."
Wang Sheng's eyes flashed.
Pei Quan and Zhang Yi have also been in the palace for a long time. Logically speaking, news should have come.
Even he felt a little anxious.
At this moment, a group of people came out of the palace.
It was Xie Jiu, the consul and internal officer of Changqiu Palace. Of course, there was another person standing behind Xie Jiu.
Pei Quan.
Pei Quan feels very relaxed now.
Saving the future queen is a kindness!
A few hours ago, he was still worried about his future and felt that his future was dark, but now, the situation seemed to have completely changed.
Not only did he regain the recognition of the prince, but he also established a friendship with the queen.
In the future, the position next to the prince will definitely be occupied by his Pei Quan.
Seeing Xie Jiu coming over, Sima Yu's face immediately showed a look of ecstasy.
He immediately got off the horse.
Sima Yu dismounted, and naturally Wang Sheng, Wang Dun and others also dismounted and followed Sima Yu.
"Mom, you finally came out."
"Sramana..."
Xie Jiu originally wanted to complain to the prince, but when she saw that there were so many people here, she stopped complaining.
"The prince is finally here. As a woman, I don't know what to say at this time."
Xie Jiu rolled his eyes and said to Sima Yu: "Although the queen is treasonous and deserves death, she was once your mother after all. I, the queen of the Jin Dynasty, if possible, please let the prince let her live."
Let her live?
That temptress, if you let her live, he will not let you live.
Sima Yu wanted to refuse at that time.
"Your Highness."
Wang Sheng saw through Sima Yu's thoughts at a glance.
"Your Highness, it's best not to say anything at this time."
Sima Yu wanted to say bad things about Jia Nanfeng at that time, but Wang Sheng's words gave him a reminder.
right!
Now, this is not the case.
What his mother said was that even if Jia Nanfeng was defeated, she would still be his mother-in-law.
Even if everyone in the world wanted to kill her, he should still protect her. Finally, when he couldn't do anything to protect her, he had no choice but to kill Jia Nanfeng.
This can reflect his benevolence and filial piety.
"I know."
Phew~
Sima Yu took a deep breath of the situation, stepped forward to support Xie Jiu, and said: "Mother, thanks to the young man, otherwise, the child and the mother would have met with something unexpected in the palace today."
Sima Yu immediately introduced Wang Sheng in front of Xie Jiu.
This appearance gave Wang Sheng enough face.
"It turns out that there are talented people who help me. Xie Jiu thanked my husband for my son."
With that said, Xie Jiu was about to salute Wang Sheng.
"You can't do this, you can't do this."
Wang Sheng stepped forward and quickly supported Xie Jiu.
If the gift from Xie Jiu is lost, then it means that he is really out of his mind.
"My lord, I'm just doing some of my duties."
"How is this a matter of duty? If it is true as the monk said, today the husband is the savior of our mother and son, and the prince will definitely repay his kindness in the future."
"What mother said is absolutely true."
Wang Sheng had a smile on his face, but he was cursing in his heart.
Even if you are grateful to me, you shouldn't praise me in front of everyone, right?
Wang Sheng could already feel the eyes of those behind him.
If looks could kill, Wang Sheng believed he would have died many times.
"Your Highness, now that His Highness's mother has come out, His Highness can also enter the palace. I think the Queen will have no choice but to be killed at this time."
Sima Yu nodded and said: "What Mr. Lang said is absolutely true. Let's enter the palace."
Immediately, one group after another of soldiers poured into the palace. They would change the guards in the palace and clear out all the assassins' hiding places, thus clearing the way for Sima Yu.
With everything ready, Sima Yu walked in with his head held high like a victor, and Wang Sheng naturally followed closely behind.
It's just that when people around him saw Wang Sheng's expressions, they were completely different.
Pei Quan secretly made up his mind that he would never offend Wang Sheng in the future. Hua Heng was unwilling to do so, but he also knew that he would flatter Wang Sheng.
but...
There are also people with other ideas.
Wang Dun is one of them.
Beside Wang Dun, Sima Ya's expression didn't look very good either.
He is the queen of the clan, but to the prince, he is not as good as an outsider.
Especially since this outsider is still a humble person.
Of course, his current emotions have to be concealed.
To deal with it, you have to kill him with one blow.
Otherwise, he would always greet Wang Sheng with a smile.
At this time, the Luoyang Palace was like a dormant giant beast, swallowing up Wang Sheng and others.
