Chapter 51 Crisis

On March 14th, the sky was clear, the wind was gentle, and it was a bright and sunny day.

As soon as the sky got slightly brighter, Ye Qinghuai stood up.

To her surprise, Qin Baozhu also woke up.

"Why did you wake up so early?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

Qin Baozhu looked worried and said, "Your Majesty, today is the day they agreed to play drums in front of the palace."

Ye Qinghuai nodded and said, "I know."

She smiled comfortingly at Qin Baozhu: "I promise you that I will make them all safe."

"My brother is reckless. If he does something stupid, Your Majesty, don't blame him." Qin Baozhu said.

Although she never had a good look towards Qin Yang, at this time, she was most worried about him.

"Okay, don't worry." Ye Qinghuai said.

She had a plan in mind, but she didn't tell Qin Baozhu.

If everything goes well this time, she wants to recruit Qin Yang into the palace and become a personal bodyguard.

But there are too many risks in what happened today, so let's wait until everything is settled before giving her a surprise.

After receiving Ye Qinghuai's assurance, Qin Baozhu's expression became relaxed again and said: "Then I will wait here for His Majesty to come back. By the way, Your Majesty remember to come to Yichun Palace at noon. Aunt Fanghua helped me get some ingredients. I

Make your favorite braised beef today."

It was obvious that she kept the matter of feeding Fat Ye Qinghuai firmly in mind.

——

Ye Qing had a particularly brief morning session when she was pregnant, probably the shortest morning session since she took office.

The ministers acted without incident as if they had made an appointment.

Ye Qinghuai felt a little anxious.

The big drum outside Chengtian Gate has a very loud sound. If someone hits it, it can be heard in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

In her previous idea, the best situation was that the time for the students to play the drums coincided with the morning court, then she could ask the imperial guards to bring the drummers to the temple. As long as the students could go to the temple to make a speech, she could

Taking the opportunity to bring out the fact that Song Zhe was tried in place of Wang Lisong, it was difficult for the Third Division to escape guilt.

So she forced herself to find two topics to discuss.

However, half an hour later, there was really no discussion in the court, but the drums outside Chengtian Gate still did not sound.

Ye Qinghuai frowned.

Starting a few days ago, she asked Li Baoquan to mobilize the defense of Chengtianmen to ensure that the guards at Chengtianmen during the day were all from the left Yamen Guards, lest the students would be captured by the Right Yamen Guards of the Forbidden Army before they got close to the drum.

Controlled.

However, now that the sun was getting higher, there was no movement at all outside the palace. It was so quiet that she felt panicked.

Ye Qinghuai was sitting in the splendid Hall of Supreme Harmony. Even if he looked far into the distance, his eyes could not penetrate the thick Chengtian Gate and see the situation outside the palace.

But the situation outside the palace must not be good.

"Since no one is correct, let's disperse the court. Mr. Chen Ge, what do you say?" Gu Shihai spoke first, his tone as if he was not attending a morning court meeting, but a cabinet meeting.

"Your Majesty, do you have anything else to ask?" Chen Yuansi did not look at Gu Shihai, but asked Ye Qinghuai unhurriedly.

Ye Qinghuai really had nothing to ask. She thought about it and was about to speak when Gu Shihai said first, "Why is Your Majesty so free to chat with us old men today? Aren't you afraid of neglecting the beauties in the harem?"

His words were harsh, but Ye Qinghuai didn't care about it at the moment.

She thought to herself that there was no use in holding on to this stalemate. She might as well break up and go to Jingshou Palace to take the Imperial Guards from Zuo Yamen and go directly to Chengtian Gate to see what was going on.

"It seems that Mr. Gu Ge has something to do today and doesn't want to talk to me any more." Ye Qing said to him with a smile, "Let's change it another day."

After saying that, she stood up and quickly walked down from the throne.

"Retreat - to the court -" Li Baoquan's energetic voice sounded behind Ye Qinghuai. Then there were scattered calls of "Long live your Majesty" from the ministers.

After coming out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Ye Qinghuai went straight to the Jingshou Palace.

For some reason, she had a bad feeling in her heart.

She recalled her previous life, which was also a calm morning, with no sound of drums and no arguments in the court. Everything was a scene of prosperity and peace.

Ye Qinghuai's palms were sweating. Could it be the same as the Chunwei list again, exactly the same as in the previous life?

Is she really like a pet kept in a cage, and her struggles are just useless efforts like a clown in the eyes of her enemies?

For a moment, Ye Qinghuai seemed to see the hopeful eyes and faces of those students turning into blooming blood under the knife and gun, becoming hollow and desperate.

When Ye Qinghuai walked into Jingshou Palace, Li Baoquan finally followed him.

"Are your people on duty at Chengtian Gate today?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

"Your Majesty, he is a person that I can trust. When I first came to court, I also sent someone to inquire about the news."

"How to say?"

Li Baoquan didn't reply. Ye Qinghuai stopped and looked back at him, only to see him shaking his head at her with some nervousness in his eyes.

"He hasn't come back yet." Li Baoquan replied.

Her expression darkened. Now that things had happened, Ye Qinghuai had expected this.

At this time, there were chaotic footsteps outside Jingshou Palace, mixed with the rhythmic crisp sound of the scabbard hitting the armor.

It came so fast. Ye Qinghuai said in her heart.

Sure enough, Luo Zichang, the commander of the imperial army, appeared at the gate of Jingshou Palace with a team of troops.

Li Baoquan's left yamen guards were guarding outside the palace gate. When they saw Luo Zichang, they bowed first and then stretched out their hands to stop them, preventing them from getting even half a step closer to Jingshou Palace.

The left and right yamen guards each held their swords and faced each other, neither of them willing to retreat.

At this time, Luo Zichang looked at Ye Qinghuai across the crowd.

He knelt down half-kneeling outside the door holding the sword at his side, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

Ye Qinghuai looked at him for a long time and said, "Let him come in."

The guard outside the door heard this and immediately got out of the way.

Luo Zichang stood up, gave a few instructions to the people around him, and walked into Jingshou Palace with only General Wuwei, the right yamen guard beside him.

"Commander Luo came here in a hurry, why?" Ye Qinghuai asked knowingly.

He cupped his fists and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, there is a mob causing trouble outside Chengtian Gate. Thousands of people have gathered and clashed with the Imperial Guards guarding the gate. Please give your Majesty's order to have the Imperial Guards come out of the palace to suppress the mob."

Sure enough, it was the same rhetoric as in the previous life. But this time for some reason, He Qingchang, the Minister of War, was not brought with him, so he only asked for an order to mobilize the imperial army, and did not mention the Gyeonggi Guard.

"Commander Luo, does he know why the people are rioting?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

Luo Zichang paused, seeming a little embarrassed to speak.

"I'm asking you something." Ye Qinghuai's voice was already chilly.

Luo Zichang then made up his mind and replied: "I don't know where these rebels heard something from, or they were incited by someone, saying that Your Majesty was bewitched by the demon concubine, ignored the government affairs, and asked Your Majesty to kill Lan Guiren."
