Chapter 21: The Hall Again
They reached Changhe at the head of twelve thousand men, and nobody shut a gate.
The palace guards stood aside on the hill road.
They had heard what happened at the ford, and not one of them wanted to be the man who barred the way.
The Hall of Wounds stood at the top of the eighty-one steps, with its black doors open.
Jiang went up them behind Lin with the Yan bow on his back, and the garrison commander and the captain walked at his shoulder.
Inside, forty elders in black caps sat in their rows.
Cen stood on the dais in front of the altar, with his gold scale buckled over a stained shirt.
A ring of sixty guards stood at his back.
He was reading from a roll of yellow silk.
"...and so the late Emperor, on his deathbed, named his loyal cousin Cen Daoming regent of Liang, to hold the throne against the false prince..."
"Marshal," said Lin.
Every head in the hall turned.
Lin walked the length of the floor, in white, with his hair loose and his left arm held easy at his side.
