    Two sword-bearing officers who went to Cining Palace to report the news came in a hurry and whispered a few words in the ear of the chief sword-bearing officer. The chief sword-bearing officer nodded, turned to Song Nan and cupped his hands and said: "Master Guo Gong"  , The Queen Mother has just gone to Fengtian Palace to meet with the ministers, but she is unable to invite you; without the Queen Mother¡¯s permission, the humble rank cannot let you in. ¡ð¡± Song Nan was surprised, the Queen Mother went to Fengtian Palace to meet with the ministers, obviously with that share.  Regarding the posthumous edict, it seems that the posthumous edict must be announced in advance in front of the ministers. This is called driving the duck to the shelf. After the edict is announced and announced to the world, it is a foregone conclusion.  Song Nan said coldly: "I returned to the capital from a long way without taking a sip of tea. I heard that the emperor was seriously ill, and I was even more worried. I came to the palace just to see the emperor, which is actually very common. Since the queen mother has no time, you should go first  Let me go in to see the emperor, and I will leave as soon as I see you. If the Queen Mother blames you later, I will take the responsibility for you." The leader of the knife officers shook his head and said, "That can't be done. The Queen Mother has said it, if she doesn't have it.  Yes, if you let anyone in, if you disturb the emperor's rest, all our brothers will lose their heads." Song Nan looked at him sideways and said, "Then you are not going to let me in?" The leader of the sword officer said with his hands.  "Please forgive me, Duke Zhen, even those with lower rank have their own difficulties." Song Nan sighed and said: "That's all, you forced me to do this. This matter is a secret matter, so I can't speak out, but you have tried to stop me in every possible way, and I didn't do it.  Fazi, knowing this secret will not do you any good. If you lose your head because of this, don¡¯t blame me for not predicting what I said.¡± The leader of the sword officer was a little confused. He looked at Song Nan and said with a smile: ¡°Don¡¯t scare me, Duke Zhen.  Wait, we are just following orders. If you want to see the emperor, you can go to Fengtian Palace in person to ask for the Queen Mother's decree. We will let you go naturally." Song Nan's face turned cold and he waved: "Come here." The leader of the sword officer said suspiciously.  What are you doing?" Song Nan asked, "What's your name?" The leader of the sword-bearing officer said, "Mr. Zhen Guo, I know I have offended you today, but I can't do anything about it, so please bear with me." Song Nan said quietly.  "Are you Chang Sheng, the chief sword-bearing officer of Cining Palace?" The chief sword-bearing officer was surprised and nodded: "It turns out that the Duke of Zhenguo knows a villain." Song Nan said: "Chang Sheng, come here, I'll tell you  You gave me a reason why you had to let me in. If you don¡¯t listen, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll regret it for the rest of your life. Not only will you lose your head, but your parents, wives, children, relatives, and friends will also lose their heads.¡± Chang Sheng and the other swordsmen were confused.  Looking at each other, a knife-wielding officer whispered: "Brother Chang, go and listen to what he has to say. There's no harm in listening anyway. If it's a scaremongering, we'll just ignore it." Chang Sheng frowned hesitantly, and finally stepped forward.  Going down the steps and coming to Song Nan, Song Nan waved: "Come here, I don't want this secret to be heard. If more people know this secret, the chance of losing their heads will be greater." Chang Sheng frowned and said: "  Lord Zhenguo, please don't joke with the low-ranking officials. The low-ranking officials are just on errands." As he spoke, he tilted his head.  Song Nan smiled and said: "I understand, the secret is" Song Nan's voice suddenly lowered, and Chang Sheng could not hear clearly. He involuntarily moved his head and neck closer, and suddenly felt the sound of wind on his neck, and instinctively jumped back.  He wanted to dodge away, but he was half a beat too late, and an arm had already tightly wrapped around his head and neck.  The knife-wielding officers were all highly skilled in martial arts. When their heads and necks were strangled, they remained calm in the face of danger. Seven or eight ways to get out of trouble had already flashed through their minds. The most effective ones were used subconsciously. One hand grasped the knife around his neck.  The arm is twisted, and the next moment is a counter-grab move in which the body is shortened and the enemy's arm is flipped.  However, his hand suddenly froze after using half of the strength, because there was a cold object on his left temple. At the same time, Song Nan's cold voice sounded in his ears: "If you move,  , I will smash your head to see if your head is stronger than the steel balls in my fire gun." The double-barreled fire gun equipped by Jinyiwei has long been famous in the world. Its power is well known to the world, and it has naturally been secretly victorious.  Having seen the power of the fire gun, I don't need to think too much about whether my head is stronger or the steel ball is stronger. The answer is obvious.  A sudden change occurred. No one present expected that the majestic Duke of Daming Town would actually launch a sneak attack. After a brief period of astonishment, the sword-bearing officers on the steps reacted one after another, drew their swords and rushed down from the steps, surrounding Song Nan.  live.  Chang Sheng raised his hands and shouted: "My lord, what are you doing? I have never offended you in my humble position. I am only ordered to guard Yangxin Palace, but I don't mean any disrespect to my lord." Song Nan said coldly.  : "Of course I know that you are acting under orders. I am afraid that the order you received is not to allow me, Song Nan, to see the emperor. I don't want to waste time with you, so I have to use you as a hostage." Chang ?He shouted: "My lord, what is the use of taking me? They still won't let you in. You are breaking into the emperor's chamber without permission. This is a treasonous crime." Song Nan butted him with a fire blunderbuss.  The head shouted: "Nonsense, how can I, the majestic Duke of the country, break into the emperor's chamber secretly? I am here to see the emperor according to the emperor's secret decree, but someone wants to stop me from seeing the emperor." Chang Sheng said: "Master, why are you bothering?  You made up this lie to deceive us. You are fighting a rebellion in the south. The emperor moved to the Yangxin Palace more than ten days ago. The emperor is seriously ill and can't speak. How can I give you any secrets? " Song Nan spat: "I?  I know that talking to you is a waste of time. You won¡¯t believe me even if I tell you the reason, so I took you as a hostage. You should know that Mr. Zhang, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, left the palace for a few days. Do you know what he did? " Chang Sheng was strangled.  He couldn't breathe, and said in a hoarse voice: "There are rumors in the palace that Zhang Yong and the traitor Zhu Chenhao colluded. I heard that the rebels were wiped out and fled in fear of crime." Song Nan cursed: "Bah, I knew I would put him in the shit basin,  Zhang Yong is not absconding because of fear of crime. He was sent to me by the emperor's order. Some people insist on framing him. They are creating rumors to confuse the public. I know it is a waste of words to tell you this, but I am.  Since I promised to tell you this secret, I must tell you. Now get out of the way. I am here to meet you according to the emperor's imperial edict. Anyone who dares to block it is resisting the edict. The first person to die will be you, Chang Sheng." Chang Sheng and others are in the heart.  Although he was suspicious, Song Nan said he had a nose and eyes. Zhang Yong did come to see the emperor before disappearing. Could it be that he had received the emperor's order that day?  That's not right. It is said that the emperor was speechless and didn't say a word to Zhang Yong. How could he issue a secret edict?  Song Nan didn't have time to waste time with them. He took Chang Sheng hostage and walked to the Yangxin Hall. The two on-duty servants at the door had long been frightened and disappeared. There were also shouts and footsteps in the Yangxin Hall. It was obvious that the guards in the hall were  Song Nan was also on the way; Song Nan ignored him and took Chang Sheng hostage and rushed into the palace, shouting loudly: "The Duke of Daming Town has an audience with the emperor's secret decree. Anyone who blocks his way will be punished for rebelling against the decree. The whole family will be executed and the nine tribes will be killed."  " Dozens of sword-bearing officers gathered around Song Nan with weapons in hand. However, facing Song Nan, the Duke of Ming Dynasty, who was famous, it was not easy to take action; in addition, the chief sword-bearing officer Chang Shengluo  In Song Nan's hands, Chang Sheng was very popular and everyone supported him, and he would not act rashly.  There were also people who clamored to move forward and were eager to give it a try, but were stopped by others. In the panic, someone whispered: "Brothers, don't be impulsive. Go and ask the Queen Mother to make a decision. You won't be in vain and cost Brother Chang his life." "Yes.  , this is the Duke of Ming Dynasty, the hero who has just put down the rebellion. Besides, if the Duke of Zhen Guo really declares the emperor's secret decree, why should we disobey the emperor's decree?  "Soon, this opinion became the mainstream. Although these people have a low status, they have been in the palace for a long time and have experienced a lot. They are not like mindless ordinary soldiers. At this time, they are more cautious.  As a result, they followed Song Nan's footsteps one by one, without actually stepping forward to stop him.  In the midst of the noise, Song Nan had already taken Chang Sheng hostage from the front hall to the back hall of the Yangxin Hall. The Yangxin Hall was not a big place, and the only place to rest in the back hall was the East and West Nuan Pavilion. Song Nan glanced around and saw the Dong Nuan Pavilion.  The former eunuch and maid ran in panic, knowing in her heart that the emperor must be in Dongnuan Pavilion, so she walked over despite Chang Sheng, followed closely by dozens of guards with swords, but always kept a distance.  Song Nan saw the right moment, turned around and kicked open the Nuan Pavilion door, stretched out his hand to push Chang Sheng out, and submerged himself into the Nuan Pavilion. There was a snapping sound, which was the sound of the door bolt being fastened.  Chang Sheng was released, and all the swordsmen came forward one after another to push the door open and break in. Chang Sheng touched his neck and shouted: "Stop it." Everyone stopped in a hurry, and a little leader said: "Brother Chang, let's not go and kill the Duke of Zhen Guo.  "Caught it out?" Chang Sheng shook his head and said: "You are stunned. The emperor is inside. If we go in and fight with someone and hurt the emperor, do you still want his head?" "This is what Duke Zhen Guo is holding."  " Everyone was dumbfounded.  "Have you sent someone to report to the Queen Mother?" Chang Sheng asked after regaining his breath.  "I have ordered people to go to Fengtian Palace to report." "That's it. Everyone just waits here and waits for orders. There is no need to take risks. The relationship between Zhen Guo Gong and the emperor is the best, and he will never be unfavorable to the emperor.  "It's better for us to make less decisions on matters between adults and wait for the Queen Mother to decide everything." "Everyone thinks it makes sense. Isn't it possible to break through the door of Dongnuan Pavilion and go in to have a fight with the Duke of Zhenguo?"  The Queen Mother's decree stated that the Emperor should rest in peace and not be disturbed by others, but weren't there several groups of cabinet bachelors this morning?  It is reasonable for the Duke of Zhen to come all the way back to see the emperor. Even if the secret decree is false, there is nothing unreasonable about the ordinary meeting.  ?People have something in their hearts, but they just don't dare to say it out loud.  Outside the Nuan Pavilion, several eunuchs and maids looked at Song Nan who rushed in with a gun in his hand and stood there blankly. Song Nan shouted: "Where is the emperor?" A delicate-looking little maid numbly pointed to the back of the hanging door in the inner room.  In the room, Song Nan nodded and started to move, but suddenly stopped and ordered: "Take off your belts." Several eunuchs and maids didn't know what they meant, Song Nan shouted in a low voice: "Don't you want to live?" This sentence sounded good to me.  Understood, the five eunuchs and palace maids hurriedly untied the strips of their trousers. Song Nan pointed at the little palace maid and said, "Tie their hands and feet."  The hands and feet of the palace maid and the eunuch were tied, and they apologized while tying them: "Eunuch Zhao, Eunuch Xu, Wang Shanggong, Sister Liu, I'm sorry, I can't help you." After everything was tied, Song Nan stepped forward to check it.  The binding was very strong, and he ordered the little palace maid to find some cloth towels to gag the mouths of several people. After that, Song Nan said to the little palace maid: "Follow me into the inner room. If you obey, you will save your life, otherwise it will be a fire."  Your face is covered with iron sand. "The little palace lady was so frightened that she almost peed her pants. This person has a handsome face, but he has murderous intent all over his body. Don't offend her. How will you see anyone in the future if your face is smashed and turned into a pockmark?  So he nodded softly.  Song Nan signaled the little palace maid to lift up the pearl curtain. The little palace maid hurriedly stepped forward and lifted up the pearl curtain. Song Nan sighed, put the fire gun back on her waist, straightened her clothes, patted the dust on her body, and slowly walked into the inner room.  .  It was quiet in the inner room. The curtains blocked the sunlight from outside. Three candles were lit in a candlestick and placed on the bedside table, illuminating the scenery in the room clearly.  On a large bed, the brocade quilt was slightly raised, and there was a slight sound of breathing. On the corner of the bedside clothes, a bronze bird breathed a faint scent of incense, but it could not cover up the stench of feces, urine and the faint smell of blood in the room.  .  Song Nan knew that the person lying on the bed was Zhengde. Although Zhengde was not tall and strong, he was still of normal height. At this moment, the slightly raised part of the quilt on the bed looked more like the body of a child, and  It's not that Masanori is lying there.  Song Nan slowly approached the bed. He couldn't see Zhengde's face clearly under the shadow of the window curtain. Song Nan waved to the little palace maid to come closer and motioned her to hold a candle to look at it. The candlelight moved slowly, slowly casting the shadow of the curtain.  He moved away, slowly revealing Zhengde's face in the darkness; the moment he saw Zhengde's face clearly, Song Nan's whole body stiffened, and tears slowly oozed from his eyes.  What kind of face it is, with sunken and shriveled skin, cheekbones that protrude like mountain peaks, sallow and gray eyes, and dark wrinkled eye sockets.  There is no way to match this face with the identity and age of its owner.  Zhengde is only twenty-two years old, in the prime of his youth. Who would have thought that he would already look like this. This face looks like that of an old and dying man, without any vitality or vitality.  Song Nan¡¯s mind recalled the first time he met Zhengde at the Roast Duck Shop on Cha Street. At that time, Zhengde was handsome and full of vitality.  Only nine years have passed, and the energetic young prince has transformed into the dying state in front of him. How could this not make Song Nan feel sad? He who rarely sheds tears could not control the tears in his eyes, nor did he want to control them. He let the tears flow freely.  And out.  "Your Majesty Your Majesty." Song Nan called softly, but Zhengde showed no response. If there was not a slight breath in his mouth, he would be no different from a dead person.  "Your Majesty, your minister Song Nan has come to see you." Song Nan whispered in Zhengde's ear. He could not give up. Zhengde must wake up and he must talk to Zhengde.  The little maid holding the lamp on the side couldn't help but said: "Thisthis lord, the emperor seems to be unable to hear people talking. Over the past few days, many adults have come to visit, but the emperor has not said a word. The queen motherthe queen mother came to visit.  Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not awake either" Song Nan waved her hand and said, "Bring some water." The little palace maid hurriedly put down the candlestick and poured a cup of warm water from the pot on the table. Song Nan sat on the bedside.  With one hand, he raised Zhengde's head slightly, and with the other hand, he put the water cup to Zhengde's lips to feed him. Zhengde's teeth were clenched tightly, and the water flowed down Zhengde's mouth. Zhengde made no move to swallow at all.  "Come on, open the emperor's mouth." Song Nan said.  The little palace maid was startled, waved her hand and stepped back: "Slave slave, I don't dare." Song Nan shouted: "Then you feed the emperor mouth to mouth." The little palace maid's face turned pale, and she stepped forward helplessly, turning her head and not daring to look.  Holding up Masanori's face with his two small hands, he used his thumbs to forcefully open Masanori's upper and lower lips. This revealed Masanori's neat white teeth, which were even more ferocious and terrifying. The little palace maid was so frightened that she almost fainted.  .  Song Nan sighed and whispered:"Your Majesty, I'm offended." He freed his hand and squeezed Zhengde's cheek hard. Zhengde's mouth finally opened slightly, and a rotten smell rushed out, making the man want to vomit.  Song Nan held his breath and quickly poured the warm water into his mouth. Hearing the gurgling sound in Zhengde's throat, although a lot of water overflowed, he finally drank a lot.  Song Nan asked the little palace maid to get a wet cloth and wiped Zhengde's face carefully. Finally, she put the cool towel on Zhengde's forehead and sat beside the bed in silence.  The little palace maid stood aside with her hands lowered, not daring to show her anger. From time to time she would peek at Zhengde and Song Nan fearfully, then she would quickly close her eyes and turn her head, not daring to look further.  The air in the room was as solid as thick silt, and it was oppressively oppressive. In the silence, the frantic footsteps outside the Nuan Pavilion and the inaudible voices of the eunuch guards could be heard.  Song Nan stared at Zhengde's face, anxious in his heart. Zhengde showed no sign of waking up. If he couldn't wake up, then today would have been in vain, and he didn't know whether he would be able to see the emperor next time.  Song Nan stood up with some hesitation and then suddenly sat down, frightening the little palace maid beside her so much that her almond-shaped eyes widened, wondering what was wrong with this gentleman.  "Go and watch at the door. Don't look into the room." Song Nan made up her mind and ordered in a low voice.  The little palace maid wanted to get as far away from the bed as possible. She quickly agreed and walked outside the vertical door, taking a few deep breaths into the slightly fresh air outside.  Song Nan in the room reached out and took out a porcelain bottle from her arms, hesitated for a moment, and finally poured out two pills with trembling hands.  "Your Majesty, I am a treasonous person. I tried my best to prevent the Emperor from taking this pill. But at this time, I need the Emperor to wake up and explain the important affairs of the country, so I boldly gave the Emperor two pills. When the Emperor woke up, he was going to kill or behead him. Song Nan let him do whatever he wanted.  "That's it." Song Nan leaned over and whispered in Zhengde's ear. With quick movements, he stuffed two pills into Zhengde's mouth and poured in a mouthful of water. The pills melted in the mouth, dissolved into the water and flowed into Zhengde's belly.  .  Before it was time to drink tea, Zhengde's breath became thicker, his eyelids began to tremble, and his face became slightly rosy.  Song Nan hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is Song Nan." Zhengde's heavy eyelids finally opened slowly, and he stared blankly at the top of the bed, panting heavily.  "Your Majesty, you are finally awake." Song Nan said happily.  The little palace maid at the door looked at all this with her mouth wide open. The emperor had not been able to eat for so many days, and no one could wake him up. This gentleman actually made the emperor wake up by swiping water on his face. This gentleman is a miracle doctor.  What?  "Why don't you get the pillow quickly?" Song Nan shouted.  "Oh." The little palace maid carried two pillows like a whirlwind. Song Nan had already helped Zhengde sit up. The little palace maid placed the two pillows on Zhengde's back and head and neck, allowing Zhengde to lean on them comfortably.  Zhengde took a few breaths and looked at Song Nan with weak eyes. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Song Nan, you are back."
