No matter how long the night is, it will eventually pass.

Because of the rain, the morning of this day was much darker than usual, but the daylight was different from the night after all. Moreover, after a night of pouring, the heavy rain had gradually dipped, leaving only drizzle.

At the hour of Mao, the palace gate slowly opened.

Today is the New Year, and it is a common dynasty. And today it is even more solemn because of the announcement of important matters. Although civil and military officers who usually go to court to pay homage to the emperor have already lined up, the queen has also prepared a group of special guests - princes of various families. Of course, they ordered them to invite them, but they were a little reluctant to do so.

The queen's carriage started from Zhaoyang Palace and walked on the palace road as usual. However, today's time is not the time of the past, and people are not the people of the past.

Ma Yunfei was sitting in the car and felt quite uncomfortable, as if the gorgeous and comfortable phoenix chariot was more bumpy than the back of a fierce horse, and the golden phoenix crown on his head was heavier than a helmet.

Today she put on big makeup, and it was double-layered. She first put on makeup carefully according to the queen's appearance, and then put on a layer of big makeup. The facial features were all lost in shape and looked pale. Even if she was face to face, she might not recognize people, which added a layer of protection to her.

Today... is a crucial day. She touched the dagger in her sleeve. The dagger had lost its original coldness due to the transmission of body temperature, but it was still extremely sharp.

Suddenly, she frowned and felt someone coming. But she couldn't move. The queen's martial arts were not too good, and she could not notice such a far-reaching movement.

And wait.

The dagger in his sleeve was sheathed an inch, and Ma Yunfei closed his eyes and waited. After a while, he heard the palace maid say, "Zaoshawei Si ordered to ask for the Empress."

Why is he here? Things are not right

Jack Ma pretended to be Tang Yuchu. Although he was in a hurry, he did his homework. He knew that although the queen was in charge of the three guards, he only summoned them in the secret room and never made it public. Today, Zaosha Guard blocked the carriage openly, which was inconsistent with common sense.

Could it be that I saw through me and deliberately approached me to catch me?

Otherwise, if you are a thief, you will feel guilty. Jack Ma was already tense under his dress, but he could still hold on his face, and said, "Please come here." He then said to the maid next to him, "Pick up a layer of curtains."

The phoenix chariot originally had two layers of curtains. The curtain outside was opened and there was a layer of pearl curtain underneath. Even if it was close to the figure inside, it would be faintly visible. Jack Ma didn't want him to dare to get closer.

Zaoshawei came over and saluted the queen first. Jack Ma saw that although he had no expression on his face, he saw sweat on his forehead, as if he was panicking. He didn't seem to be pretending, and asked, "The Grand Secretary is so anxious, is there any change?" As a master, it was not difficult to tighten his vocal cords and learn from another person's words. She had no flaws in this regard.

Zaoshawei whispered: "Damn it. Last night, chaos broke out on the princes and someone escaped."

Jack Ma was shocked and said, "Who is it?"

Zaoshawei said: "Five or six escaped with General Tang as the leader. Several of my subordinates were damaged. After hearing the news, I ordered all my troops to chase after him, and chased two. The rest of them had long been hiding."

Ma Yunfei frowned. If Tang Ning had heard this news, she would have been so shocked and angry. Although she was not the queen, she was also unhappy. What she feared most at the moment was variables. She herself was a big variable, but she was afraid that others would disturb her plans.

However, it was also an opportunity. They were going to blame Tang Xu for causing trouble. Isn’t it just right? With him running away like this, even if the emperor doesn’t die, he will be the first to arrest him first. Regardless of whether the emperor will die today, the Tang family must be in trouble.

After a moment of silence, Ma Yunfei asked, "Did Jiang Qi escape?"

Zaoshawei said: "Jiang Qi did not escape at first, but was captured by Tang Xu. When Chen was chasing him, he saw Tang Xu running away with his own eyes. Chen and others were incompetent and could not catch up, so they let the two escape together."

Ma Yunfei was surprised. Jiang Qi has been locked up these days and he would have a chance to escape, but he has not moved. Isn’t it just to leave a useful body at today’s ceremony? Why did he escape at the last moment? Isn’t the forbearance in front of him a failure?

After thinking about it, she understood a little: the opportunity last night must be very good, maybe it was so unreasonable that it would be unreasonable if not escaped. Tang Xu escaped. If Jiang Qi did not escape, he would not be obedient, but rather that he would be more pretentious. If he stayed there, he would have to retreat first.

As for what happened to Tang Xu, Jack Ma didn't believe it, it was nothing more than Jiang Qi's trick, wanting to add a bit of "helplessness" to his escape.

So, at the ceremony that took a while, I had a potential friendly army and maybe I really had to fall into a state of fighting alone. Even if things were done, it would be difficult to get out of here.

It's really... Ma Yunfei held his hands tightly in his sleeves, and he felt even more upset, saying, "You... step up your hands and search me - search all the fish that missed the net."

Zaoshawei said: "Yes."

Ma Yunfei said: "Go and send extra staff at the ceremony, don't make trouble for me." Zaoshawei retreated.

Ma Yunfei sat in the car and let the palace car move forward. Suddenly the car stopped and then walked forward. She was stunned. A maid next to her had already dripped a note and said, "Empress."

Jack Ma knew very well that this was the person arranged by the Jiang family. It must have been the Jiang family who sent the message in just now. It was okay, something big happened last night, and he was still confused. Let's see what they said.

Open the note, but saw a text message above: "Tang Xu must enter the palace, don't stop him deeply, let it go."

The car drove forward all the way and left the Daqi Gate. The square of Taiji Hall was already in sight.

At this time, the rain became lighter and lighter, with only three or five rain stars falling. An eunuch came up to ask the queen to get off the car and change it to a shoulder carriage. Ma Yunfei got off the carriage, sat on the shoulder carriage carried by sixteen people, and led the team to the square.

In the past, court meetings were held in the Tai Chi Hall, and only the grand dynasty on the first and second days were in the square. At this time, both sides were neatly filled with civil and military officials. Although the scene was big, it was ignored.

Although Ma Yunfei maintained his dignity and solemnity, his eyes also swept over the ministers and said in his heart: No wonder everyone wants to be an emperor, that is, the emperor can show such a show openly, and it is called the majesty of the Tian family. If someone else, even if I have become a local emperor in Yizhou, if I do such a ceremony, I will still be laughed at and be liked by the monkeys and imitate them.

With his eyes crossed the figures of the officials, Ma Yunfei saw the people standing in the front row, dressed differently from others. These were the princes who were taken in, all standing in the front three rows. Perhaps because it was inconvenient, they did not allow everyone to change into official uniforms. Most of them were wearing the gorgeous clothes they wore on the day of the banquet, which seemed very abrupt. These people were not particularly restrained, but they all stood differently, probably because they had clicked acupoints.

If these officials in the border are treated like this, no matter how they end up in the future, it is at least an unprecedented feat. Unfortunately, there are few familiar faces inside, and there are no three heroes in the world, "Jiang Tingfang, Tang Xu, and Ma Yunfei", and it is a bit unworthy of the name of the heroes. However, several detained princes of the Tian family are all there, all wearing royal crowns and uniforms, standing in the forefront. They must be a little decent when they were detained.

When I arrived at Ganyang Sect, I heard someone Gao Xuan say, "The Empress is here."

The huge shoulder carriage was carried out from Ganyang Gate and climbed to the center. The route of the empress going to court was specially planned, because in the past, it was impossible for the empress to appear, and the general major dynasty meetings did not require the empress to appear. But today the empress appeared exceptionally. In order to conform to the ritual system, the classics were specially checked. At the beginning, there was a period of "Two Saints' Reign" in the previous dynasty, and the empress went to court through the current empress's route. This time it was just a replica of the grand occasion.

"It's also quite hard." Jack Ma thought.

The queen will appear in the court today, which is known to the people of the meeting, so the officials below did not question it. However, a few of the princes looked at the queen and wanted to see if she was real.

Jack Ma knew that these were all without play. There are three kinds of rumors on the market now, from shallow to deep, from which to know which one can tell how involved these people in this game. The shallowest level is that the queen was imprisoned by the emperor, which is the rumor in the market, and the emperor released it as a smoke screen. The next level is that the emperor died and the queen was holding on. This level is the effect the emperor really wanted to achieve. In the end, the emperor was not dead, and he hid in the dark to count the princes. This is the truth, and only a few people knew the truth. The struggle behind the scenes is the struggle of this small group of people.

As a prince, I still know the queen who may be detained. I really don’t know how to say about them.

It was almost time. Ma Yunfei raised his hand and the eunuch said, "Go to court--"

The ministers immediately started to sensation. Although the queen's attendance did not cause controversy, the emperor did not come, and the court meeting was really contrary to the etiquette. At this time, the eunuch had already proclaimed again: "Wow."

The ministers bowed sparsely, and finally they knelt three times and kowtowed nine times smoothly, and the mountain shouted long live. The queen alone also received the mountain shouted "Long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long

With a smile, Ma Yunfei signaled the eunuch to announce again: "If you have something to do, report it early, and leave the court if you have nothing to do."

A person flashed out of the ministers immediately, his hair and beard were all white, and he said, "My minister Wei Mo has a copy."

This man stood in the front row of the ministers. He was one of the three ministers and a senior of the three dynasties. He was quite famous in the court. Although the current sense of existence of the court is low to a certain extent and even the officials are not very famous, the old master does have a transcendent status within the court alone. Even the emperor should respect him three points. However, he is already at the age of retirement and rarely speaks in the court. Somehow he will speak first today.
