Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 827 Lead the way

  The Empress didn't care much when she heard the words, and immediately set off to go to the emperor's bedroom. Before leaving, she looked back at Li Xin, and her voice was a little desolate.

   "Master Li, do you want to go with us?"

   Li Xin nodded silently, got up and said, "The maiden will go first, and the minister will arrive later."

   Queen Xie carried her long skirt and left the side hall with small steps, while Li Xin stood there for a while before stepping away and walking towards the emperor's bedroom.

   When he walked to the door of the emperor's bedroom, Empress Xie had already entered. The Marquis of Jing'an closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and waited at the door of the bedroom with his hands down.

   After a long time, there was no movement in the bedroom.

   Then, a group of gray-bearded old men also appeared at the door of the Emperor's bedroom. They first glanced at Li Xin, and then they all stood beside Li Xin and waited quietly.

   is the five chiefs of the Shangshutai.

Today's Shangshutai Zaifu is very different from the Zaifu of ten years ago. When the emperor first took the throne ten years ago, most of the Shangshutai's Zaifu were old officials of the Chengde Dynasty, such as Huanchu Zhangqu. The chiefs of the Chengde Dynasty either died of illness or became old. Of the five chieftains of the Chengde Dynasty, only the Zhongshu Ling Gongyangshu was still in the Shangshutai, and the other four had already been friends.

In the ten years of the Taikang Dynasty, Li Xin existed as a solitary minister in a sense. He basically did not communicate with any other officials, be it civil ministers or military generals, except for the government of Chen Guogong. Therefore, these five Saisuke knew each of them, but he was not familiar with any of them.

Although Li Xin could be regarded as a high-ranking person in the Taikang Dynasty, he may have a high status upon closer inspection, but in terms of weight, these five rulers of Zaifu are the real ones, because from a certain In a sense, Shangshutai and the emperor divided the world to govern the world.

   And Li Xin, the authority is only in the army, at most is a military minister, and if he is a serious military minister, he will be controlled by these five old men.

   In the end, he was still an old official of the Chengde Dynasty. Zhongshu ordered Gong Yangshu to jump over the crowd, walked to Li Xin, and bowed his hands slightly: "Li Houye."

  Li Xin glanced at the old man and returned the salute: "Zhongshu Ling is polite."

   In terms of official rank, Li Xin is a little higher than these five old men, but he is much inferior in terms of power, and Gongyangshu has a very high rank in the court, so he can be regarded as Li Xin's elder.

   This Zhongshu Ling glanced at the dormitory and sighed slightly.

   "Li Houye arrived first, do you know what happened?"

Ten years ago, in the eighteenth year of Chengde, the five chiefs of Shangshutai were called into the palace as they are now, but the emperor at that time lived in Changle Palace, and now the emperor lives in Weiyang Palace. .

   Now that the scene has reappeared, this middle book has a very bad premonition in his heart.

Li Xin looked left and right, and found that the six ministers were coming one after another. Among them, the two ministers from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel had already arrived. He glanced at Gongyangshu and asked silently, "May I ask Zhongshuling, who are you? Called into the palace?"

   "It's Eunuch Xiao of the Inner Court."

   Gong Yangshu is over seventy years old, he said with some difficulty: "Just now, Eunuch Xiao sent someone to Shangshutai, and asked me to wait at the gate of Weiyang Palace. What's going on, I don't know yet."

   The Eunuch Xiao he was talking about was naturally not Xiao Huai, but the **** Xiao Zheng.

   Li Xin nodded, then glanced at Gong Yangshu.

   "I was also invited by Eunuch Xiao to the palace, not long before Zhongshuling. Let's wait here together."

   Eunuch Xiao in his mouth and Eunuch Xiao in Gong Yangshu’s mouth are not the same person.

   Gong Yangshu glanced at Li Xin, then nodded helplessly, turned back to his position, closed his eyes and rested.

   Gradually, there were more and more people at the entrance of Weiyang Palace. In addition to Liubu Shangshu and other Da Jiuqing, there were also six servants, as well as Xiao Jiuqing and so on. They all arrived at the entrance of Weiyang Palace and stood outside the palace gate with their hands down.

  Li Xin, as the Minister of the Ministry of War, naturally all stood behind him after the officials of the Ministry of War arrived. Ye Lin, the servant of the Ministry of War, stood next to Li Xin and quietly lowered his voice.

   "Chang'an, what happened...?"

Ye Lin is different from Li Xin. Li Xin is on a temporary post in the Ministry of Armed Forces, just playing tickets, not really to work in the Ministry of Armed Forces, but Ye Lin is different. Although he has separated from the Ye family and established a new Marquis of Ningling However, after all, he was born in the Ye family, and his background meant that he was unlikely to be in charge of the army.

As a military general, if you can't command the army, you can only do things in the yamen of the Ministry of War. Therefore, Ye Lin, the servant of the Ministry of War, is a serious servant. He goes to the yamen of the Ministry of War every day. No accident, for a long time in the future, he will It is to beg for food in the Ministry of War.

  Li Xin didn't change his face, and said solemnly, "I don't know either."

   Having said this, he paused.

   "But looking at the current situation, His Majesty should have summoned the ministers..."

   Ye Lin's face changed.

"So fast…"

  Li Xin looked in the direction of Weiyang Palace and sighed long.

   "Yeah, too soon."

In this way, it didn't take long for the officials of the third rank and above in the capital to arrive. They waited at the gate of Weiyang Palace for about an hour, and the sky was completely dark. At this time, it was still snowing outside, and the gate of the palace had eaves. There are not too many people standing in the place, so many officials outside now have snow white on their hair and clothes.

   Finally, Xiao Zheng, a big **** dressed in red, appeared in front of everyone.

   "Your Majesty, please enter the hall."

   After saying that, he turned around and walked in.

   Several Saisukes looked at each other, then took the lead and walked in.

   And at this time, Chong Xuantong, the head of the various families, and generals such as Hou Jingde, the general of the left camp of the forbidden army, also exchanged glances with each other, and then walked into the Weiyang Palace.

  Li Xin was expressionless, with his hands in his sleeves, and walked towards the Weiyang Palace with the officials of the Ministry of War.

  The ministers were brought into the main hall of Weiyang Palace, and they stood in their usual position for the court. Li Xin stood in the position of the Minister of War, with an expressionless face.

  Xiao Zheng, who was dressed in red, first glanced at Li Xin, and then led the five Zaifu from the Shangshutai to the Emperor's bedroom in the apse of Weiyang Palace.

This is an inevitable matter. If the emperor is buried in the sky, then all the things that follow the succession of the throne will actually require several chiefs to worry about, including the funeral of the emperor, as well as the various etiquette rules for the succession of the new emperor. And the people from the Ministry of Rites came forward to arrange it.

  Therefore, at this time, several Zaisukes are definitely going to face you.

   As for the other people present, that is, they came to witness, basically they could not see the Son of Heaven.

  The five Zaifu followed Xiao Zheng to the apse for about an hour before the **** Xiao in red returned to the main hall of Weiyang Palace again. He stepped in front of Li Xin and took a deep breath.

   "Marquis, Your Majesty called you over."

   Hearing this sentence, Li Xinxin was filled with mixed feelings for a while.

   To be honest, the death of the Son of Heaven at this time is a good thing for him from a political perspective. After all, after that, the biggest restriction on his head may have disappeared.

   But emotionally, he still couldn't accept it for a while.

   Lord Jingan nodded silently.

   "Eunuch Xiao lead the way."
