"Your Majesty, Chen Size and Mr. Chen are here. They are asking for an audience outside the palace gate. ¡ü" Time passed by minute by second as Hong Qing closed her eyes and rested. In the blink of an eye, it was almost noon, but However, Hong Qing was not impatient at all. She was still leaning on the dragon bed leisurely. She was taking a nap when she heard the sound of soft footsteps. Li Dequan hurried in from outside the palace and quickly rushed to the front door. He stepped forward, bowed, and cautiously reported. "Xuan!" As soon as he heard that Chen Size had arrived, Hong Qing's eyes suddenly opened, and a light flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say much, he just waved his hand and spit out this neatly. Words come. "Cha!" Now that Hong Qing had opened the golden mouth, Li Dequan did not dare to delay for a moment, so he hurriedly responded respectfully and hurriedly exited the hall. After a while, he was accompanied by Chen Size, who was dressed neatly in court uniform. People came in from outside. "I'm here to greet you, Your Majesty!" As soon as he saw Hong Qing sitting on the dragon bed, Chen Size didn't dare to neglect him. He hurriedly walked a few steps and rushed to the front of the emperor. He bowed to him in a formal manner. "You guys will step back." Facing Chen Size's grand salute, Hong Qing did not call out, nor did she rush to ask for the details. Instead, she waved her hand towards Li Dequan and other accompanying eunuchs and gave the order in a low voice. "Hey!" After hearing Hong Qing's instructions, Li Dequan and others didn't dare to delay. They quickly bowed and agreed, and then they all left the hall. "How's the situation, huh?" After Li Dequan and others retreated, Hong Qing still didn't shout, but went to the topic directly. "As far as your Majesty is concerned, everything has been prepared. News has been sent from Tianjin Port. The current message is here. Please take a look at it." After hearing Hong Qing's question, Chen Size did not dare to be careless. Quickly shaking his hands, he took out a telegram from his wide sleeves and walked on his knees to the front desk. Then he stood up, holding the telegram in both hands, and respectfully placed it on the dragon desk. "Well, that's good. The original plan remains unchanged. Just follow it and execute it." Hong Qing reached out and picked up the message, read it over quickly, frowned and thought about it, and finally said with a solemn expression. decision. "Yes, I obey the order!" As soon as Hong Qing said this, Chen Size's face immediately flashed with excitement, but he soon regained his composure and responded respectfully without any further words. With a sound, he just withdrew from the Yangxin Hall, not to mention arranging related matters At noon, on the ocean six nautical miles outside Tianjin Port, a large-scale fleet was sailing slowly, including warships. There are not many, there is only one "Zhen" ship and three "Wei" ships in total, but there are as many as eighteen huge troop transport ships, with extremely deep drafts, which shows that these troop transport ships are There is no doubt that they are all fully loaded. On the front deck of the fleet flagship "Zhenyun", a burly army admiral stands proudly under the tall mast, accompanied by several naval officers. Army general, this person is none other than Army General Zhang Miao, commander of the Fourth Group Army! Although there were many people on the deck, there was a dead silence. No matter the naval officers or the army generals, no one dared to speak at will. There was no one else around, because Zhang Miao always stood quietly, as if he was present. The highest general, he didn't speak, and who dared to speak randomly at this moment, so all the people stood quietly like a group of statues. "Report to the commander, there is a call from the capital." In the dead silence, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded. It was a communications officer who rushed out of the cabin, but he had already grabbed Zhang Miao in just a few strides. In front of him, he quickly performed a military salute and reported loudly. "Yes." As soon as he heard the call from the capital, Zhang Miao immediately stretched out his hand and snatched the message from the communications officer's hand. After reading it carefully, he sighed and looked back at the messages listed behind him. The generals' eyes finally fell on the only rear admiral at the scene, and he ordered in a low tone: "Zhao Dakun, I order you to advance at full speed immediately. You must advance to Tianjin Port at four quarters noon, without any mistake!" " "Yes!" Zhao Dakun is a naval general. He actually doesn't know the real mission of Zhang Miao's trip to the capital. He was just ordered to escort him. Hearing Zhang Miao's order at this time, he did not dare to delay at all. He hurriedly responded and waved to a naval officer. After issuing a series of orders, the originally slow-moving fleet quickly increased its speed to the extreme and galloped towards Tianjin Port, which was not far away. ¡ It gets dark early in winter, so it¡¯s only the right time.Just a moment later, it was already getting dark. Although it was not yet time to turn on the lamps, dozens of horn candles were already lit in the Qianqing Palace, and dozens of lanterns were scattered throughout the hall, creating a huge atmosphere. The palace was as bright as day, and all the officials from the first rank and above in the capital were gathered together in twos and threes, laughing and chatting in low voices, and the atmosphere was naturally very harmonious. "The Emperor has arrived!" As time went by, the sky became completely dark. Emperor Renhe, who used to arrive early in the past years, was nowhere to be seen. Just as the ministers were impatient to wait, At this moment, a high-pitched shout was heard, and Hong Qing, surrounded by a large group of palace maids and eunuchs, walked out of the back hall together with Queen Hai Lanzhu. "I'm going to pay homage to Your Majesty and the Queen." Seeing that Hong Qing had arrived, all the ministers and ministers did not dare to delay for a moment, so they all knelt down on the ground and paid homage together. "No need, let's all get back together." Hong Qing seemed to be in good spirits today. She strode to the big seat in the middle and sat down. Then she waved her hand and shouted warmly. "I would like to thank you for your kindness. Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Hong Qing has already shouted, and all the ministers and servants thanked the emperor according to the court regulations. This is what the title should mean, but there is nothing much to say. at. "I am blessed with another son today, so I came a little late and kept all my dear friends waiting for a long time. I am very sorry. I will definitely have a few more drinks with you all in a while, as my apology. , Let¡¯s stop talking and sit down.¡± With a smile on her face, Hong Qing briefly explained the reason for her late arrival. She apologized, but the red light on her face showed that Hong Qing. My mood is actually very comfortable. "I congratulate your majesty on the birth of another dragon son." It is a great joy for the emperor to have a queen. Even if Hongqing already has more than a dozen sons, for the Tian family, the birth of every dragon son is A great happy event is coming, and all the ministers and workers must rush to congratulate it again. "Hahaha, okay, today I will have some fun with all my dear friends. Come, please raise a bottle and drink together!" Although the dishes are still being served one after another, and the table is not yet full, but Hongqing was in a good mood, but ignored so many people. He raised his wine bottle, waved it towards the ministers, and suggested with a laugh. On the occasion of Long Yan's great joy, the mood of all the ministers and ministers also improved, and they all raised their glasses to drink together. After a while, the singing and dancing started, and the atmosphere of the banquet became more lively. The monarchs and ministers sang and joked with each other. , the atmosphere of joy filled the hall, and the joy was also harmonious. At the end of the Youshi period, in the train station one mile outside the Guang'an Gate of the capital, teams of soldiers wearing Overwatch Council uniforms took control of the entire train station. Except for the dispatcher and the stationmaster, everyone else was under guard. In the warehouse, the security was extremely tight. Under the dim light, Chen Size, dressed neatly in official robes, led dozens of National Security Bureau officials to stand in the middle of the platform, waiting quietly until a train roared from a distance. The tense expressions of the Security Bureau officials just relaxed a little. "Get off the train, hurry up. The first battalion takes over the station, the second battalion is on guard, and the third battalion is gathering on the spot. Move quickly!" The train had just stopped when a colonel leader jumped out of the first carriage and waved. He roared, and soon saw groups of officers and soldiers armed with live ammunition jumping out of the trains like dumplings, quickly spread out in formation, and ignored the National Security Bureau officials standing on the platform. As a matter of course, the entire train station was sealed tightly. "Director Chen, Zhang Miao, commander of the Fourth Army, has been ordered to lead his troops here to obey the dispatch." Amid the chaos, a group of people walked out of the middle train car. The person in front was the commander of the Fourth Army. Zhang Miao, however, saw him leading a dozen of his attendant officers to stride up to Chen Size, raised his hand in a military salute, and respectfully introduced himself to his family. He did not dare to be rude in the slightest. , even though Zhang Miao's current official rank is far higher than that of Chen Size, at the time Zhang Miao was just an ordinary member of the "Sharp Knife". After all, Chen Size is still Zhang Miao's old boss, let alone this action It was Prime Minister Chen Size who was serving as an imperial envoy. Zhang Miao did not dare to ignore it. "Commander Zhang, you're welcome. Let's talk gossip later. Please assemble your troops immediately. People from our National Security Bureau will lead the way for the general's troops." Chen Size and Zhang Miao are old acquaintances, but now is obviously not the time to reminisce. , Chen Size didn't talk much nonsense and gave the order straightforwardly. "Yes!" Zhang Miao was not dissatisfied with Chen Size's business-like attitude, so he quickly agreed and turned around.A communications officer followed and issued a death order: "Pass this general's order, all units will immediately line up on the platform, burn a stick of incense within a time limit, no mistake!" After the military order, slogans suddenly started to sound one after another. Suddenly, groups of fully armed soldiers, under the command of officers at all levels, quickly formed a formation on the platform, and a murderous aura soared into the sky in the busyness
