Chapter 895 Father and Son Meet
The capital.
When the people heard that the emperor had fled overnight, they were overjoyed. The tyrant was finally gone.
But the civil and military officials in the court were in a state of panic.
The emperor had fled, and there was no leader. What should they do now?
The key is that Ning Chen has occupied Liangzhou, and he will have to enter the capital immediately.
A new emperor has new ministers.
When Emperor De succeeded to the throne, they said bad things about Ning Chen to please Emperor De in order to keep their official positions and wealth.
Will Ning Chen settle accounts after entering the capital?
Many officials have already prepared to pack up and run away.
Just when they were panicking, a piece of heavy news came... Ning Chen led an army of 100,000 and headed straight for the capital.
This news scared a group of people on the spot.
The officials ran around privately, discussing what to do?
At this time, the imperial edict of the emperor was passed to the homes of the civil and military officials.
The emperor summoned them to the palace.
The civil and military officials seemed to have a backbone and hurried into the palace.
The Golden Palace.
The civil and military officials were lined up on both sides.
To their surprise, Li Zhixing, Ji Mingchen and others were also here.
They were supposed to be in prison.
It was the emperor who issued an order to release them.
They were also lucky. The news that Ning Chen occupied Liangzhou came too suddenly. Emperor De didn't think of them when he ran away, otherwise they would have been killed long ago.
The ministers whispered to each other and looked up at the dragon throne on the high platform from time to time.
"The emperor has arrived!"
A sharp and familiar voice sounded.
It was the voice of eunuch Quan.
The court suddenly became quiet.
With the sound of footsteps, Emperor Xuan, who was burning incense, bathing, and changing clothes, appeared.
The ministers hadn't seen Emperor Xuan for a long time.
The last time they saw him was when Emperor Xuan and Concubine Zhao were trying to commit suicide.
Emperor Xuan was old, his hair was almost white, and with such an unpromising son, who could be young again?
Emperor Xuan walked in a square step and slowly came to the throne.
He reached out and stroked the backrest of the throne, "This chair has made so many people crazy and become slaves of power.
Today, I will sit on this throne again on behalf of that stinky boy."
After saying this, he sat down slowly.
"Greetings to the emperor!"
All the civil and military officials knelt down and kowtowed.
Emperor Xuan looked at the civil and military officials kneeling on the ground, his expression dazed.
"No need to be polite, stand up!"
"Thank you, emperor!"
After the civil and military officials stood up, Emperor Xuan slowly said: "My dear ministers, you should have received the news that Ning Chen led his army to the capital, right?"
The ministers nodded one after another.
They were panicked because of this matter, worried that Ning Chen would settle accounts with them after entering the capital.
Emperor Xuan spoke slowly: "I understand what you are worried about. But don't worry, a new emperor chooses new ministers. Emperor De is in power, and it is understandable that you are loyal to him... Ning Chen will not wield the butcher knife against you because of this.
I know this stinky boy, you don't have to be afraid, just do your own job... When he arrives in the capital, you will go out of the city with me to welcome Ning Chen, and I will ensure that you are safe."
The ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and their hearts finally settled down.
Since Emperor Xuan said so, they are probably fine!
The Emperor Xuan's eyes fell on the thin Ji Mingchen and others, and said sadly: "The three beloved ministers have suffered!"
Ji Mingchen and the other two knelt down, their eyes red.
"We are guilty and made the emperor worry!"
Emperor Xuan stood up, and Eunuch Quan hurried forward to help him walk down.
Emperor Xuan came in front of the three people and stretched out his hand to help them up!
"It's all my fault. I passed the throne to that bastard in a moment of thought, and almost ruined the Great Xuan.
But you three have always been steady in doing things, how come you are so brave?"
The three civil servants actually wanted to take a knife to clear the emperor's side and get rid of the treacherous minister.
The three leaned over and said in unison: "Old ministers are ashamed!"
Emperor Xuan smiled and said: "Fortunately, there was no danger, you are all still alive... If anything happened to you, how could I feel at ease?"
.......
On the other side, Ning Chen led an army of 100,000 and headed straight to the capital.
On the way, they took a break.
Ning Chen sat in the tent, thinking in his mind... In another day, he would reach the capital.
He was ready to attack the capital in one fell swoop.
Zhang Tianlun, wash your neck and wait...I'm coming!
At this time, Pan Yucheng's voice sounded outside: "Your Majesty, Miss Xiao wants to see you."
Miss Xiao is Xiao Yanxi.
Everyone called her Master Le before.
But Ning Chen issued an order that she could only be called Miss Xiao in the future.
He wanted Xiao Yanxi to change back into women's clothes subtly.
"Let her in!"
The curtain was lifted and Xiao Yanxi walked in.
Ning Chen smiled and asked, "Xiao Xixi, do you have any news to tell me?"
Xiao Yanxi had gotten used to Ning Chen calling her Xiao Xixi.
She used to feel something was wrong when she heard Ning Chen calling her like that, but now she's gotten used to it.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Ning Chen was slightly startled, "What's there to be happy about?"
Xiao Yanxi said, "There's no need to fight in the capital... I just received news that Emperor De ran away."
Ning Chen was stunned for a moment, "Run, ran away?"
Xiao Yanxi nodded, "Yes, he ran away overnight."
Ning Chen was dumbfounded.
Zhang Tianlun, this grandson ran away?
He suddenly woke up and asked anxiously, "Where's the emperor?"
The only person he really cared about was Emperor Xuan.
Xiao Yanxi said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the emperor is fine... It is because of the emperor that there is no big trouble in the capital."
Ning Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately, his expression was delighted.
No need to fight, Emperor Xuan is also fine, great!
He shouted to the outside: "Old Pan, pass my order, the army assembles, and immediately set off to the capital."
......
A day later, Ning Chen led an army of 100,000 to approach the capital.
"Report..." The scout came running, turned over and dismounted, and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the emperor is leading the civil and military officials outside the city."
Ning Chen's eyes suddenly lit up and smiled.
"Yuan Long, let the army rest in place!"
"I obey your order!"
"Old Pan, Old Feng... follow me to see my father!"
Ning Chen led Pan Yucheng and several others, as well as dozens of Ning'an troops, and headed straight for the imperial city.
"Go! Go! Go!"
Ning Chen kept urging Diao Chan to run faster.
After an incense stick of time, Ning Chen saw the north tower, Emperor Xuan and the civil and military officials under the city.
The Emperor Xuan also saw Ning Chen galloping on his horse, his eyes fluctuated violently, and he took a few steps forward excitedly.
Ning Chen rode his horse to the front, and without waiting for Diao Chan to stand firm, he turned over and dismounted.
Looking at Emperor Xuan's thin body and old face, he couldn't help but blush and knelt down.
"See you, father, I kowtow to you!"
Ning Chen kowtowed three times in a row, without any falsehood.
Emperor Xuan came forward with an excited look and helped Ning Chen up, "Stinky boy, get up quickly, get up quickly..."
Ning Chen stood up, his eyes slightly red, "Father, I am unfilial, I came late, and made you suffer!"
Emperor Xuan used his sleeve to wipe the dirt off Ning Chen's forehead with a distressed look, his face full of excitement, looking Ning Chen up and down, "Good boy, let your father take a good look at you."
