The emperor was seriously ill, and the Qinzheng Palace was surrounded by imperial doctors and imperial guards. The news of the emperor's serious illness was well sealed. People outside the palace did not know these things, but arrangements for the victims needed to be made urgently.

Qin Yuandao knew that the emperor had not woken up at this time, and He Sheng was worried about missing state affairs, so he gave Qin Yuandao an overview of the current situation, hoping that he could handle the affairs of state well when the emperor was seriously ill.

Indeed, it is not the right time for Qi Bingyu to be ill - the prince has just been deposed and there is currently no heir, so the country has lost its foundation. If word spreads at this time, the people's hearts will be distracted, and the country will be vulnerable.

Now there are people in the court in Shangjing who have different thoughts. If they know that the emperor is seriously ill and the prince is deposed, no one knows what will happen in the court. Now the court in Shangjing is a hot potato, but Qin Yuandao has no idea. He hesitated to take him over. He knew in his heart that Qi Jingqin must have the upper hand now, but some people did not want to see such a situation. They would definitely try their best to create problems for Qi Jingqin. If he let They knew that the emperor was seriously ill, and there might be someone who would fight to the death. It would be reasonable if they just supported Qi Jingyang, but they were afraid that someone would have the idea of ​​​​rebellion and want to take advantage of the fact that the emperor was seriously ill and the country did not have a heir. At that time, dynasties changed.

Although Qin Yuandao was biased, he only wanted to support Qi Jingqin with all his strength. Since becoming prime minister, he has protected Qi Jingqin just like Lu Gaohong supported Qi Jingyang back then. However, this is not because of his own interests, but also because of the current situation. In the Celestial Dynasty, except Qi Jingqin, no one is more suitable for this throne.

The Bingyu period of the Tian Dynasty was a strange dynasty. King Qi Bingyu only had two princes under his knees. Compared with the dozens of princes under the late emperor, they did seem a little thin. However, the survival of the fittest among these two princes was very obvious. The winner was It must be Qi Jingqin. He is the best candidate to be emperor in terms of ability and character.

Qin Yuandao is a person who loves his country extremely. In the past, his position was not high, but he did not want the throne to fall into the hands of the prince and be influenced by the villain Lu Gaohong. But now that he has become the prime minister, he is fully capable of helping Qi Jingqin. Winning the throne, and now that Qi Jingyang's throne has been deposed, as long as the government is stabilized and the emperor is allowed to establish a crown prince and prepare an imperial decree to pass on the throne, everything will be fine.

But the current affairs of the government are not that simple. No news has come out about the emperor's serious illness. Qin Yuandao asked Eunuch He Sheng to block the news, so as to stabilize the public sentiment in a short time. The Yongpingfang Qian Palace was replaced by Cong Palace. Sooner or later, it will be known to everyone. I think Qi Jingyang will not leave the palace easily during this period. Zhao Peiyu’s funeral was really desolate. After Qi Jingyang was deposed, Zhao Peiyu himself was guilty. No one from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs came at this time. After arranging this matter, Zhao Peiyu's body lay alone in the mourning hall. The king of Shuzhong, who was thousands of miles away, did not know that so many things had happened in Beijing.

After Qin Yuandao took over the mess of the court, he asked He Sheng to give a random reason to the courtiers and cancel the morning court for the past few days, so that he could have time to wait for the emperor to wake up and let Qin Yuandao deal with these days. It was because of this mess that Zhao Peiyu's funeral could only be held hastily.

Now everyone knows the news that the prince was deposed. In addition, since he has not been to the morning court these days, everyone's focus has been on Qi Jingqin. Everyone knows that the emperor is unwell now, which may be related to the fact that the prince was deposed.

Some relationships, the strange thing is that there were only two princes in the Bingyu period, and besides Qi Jingyang, it was Qi Jingqin. What's more, the emperor was seriously ill now, so everyone would naturally go to curry favor with Qi Jingqin like Master Sun and Master Liu, but in reality

Many people online don't even understand what's going on.

In addition, there are also worries about some people who are desperate to force the palace. Qin Yuandao also sent news to Liang Fengmian. Nowadays, the capital is heavily guarded inside and outside the city, and the palace is even more impenetrable. With Liang Fengmian in charge, if those people are not stupid, they will

We will not send troops easily.

Qin Yuandao is not worried about this. What is more important than this right now is the crowds of victims outside Shangjing City. They all say that "after a drought, there will be a plague of locusts, and after a flood there will be a plague." They are not like other victims.

What is the reason for escaping from trouble? It is precisely because of the previous floods that the surrounding state capitals were the places where the plague was the most serious. I heard that those places had long become a dead city, and now they are in Beijing.

The reason why Yin did not let them in was probably because he was worried that they would be infected with the human plague. No matter how hard they traveled through mountains and rivers, the emperor could not destroy the city under his feet.

The seriousness of the plague has inevitably made the people of Shangjing City feel uneasy. However, sealing off Shangjing City is not a long-term solution. All the famous doctors in the world are in Shangjing. Whether it is Shangjing Tai Hospital or Deji Hall in Shangjing, they have gathered together the world's most famous doctors.

Good doctor, now that he has gone to Jingtai Hospital to research the prescription but failed, he will be sent to treat the emperor's illness. Now he is sealed in the palace and cannot come out.

The number of refugees was too great. According to the statistics of officers and soldiers on the walls of Shangjing City, the number of refugees outside the city gate was increasing. Qin Yuandao had no choice but to ask the doctors of Deji Hall to find ways to control the epidemic so that the number of infected people could not increase.

What's more, the refugees are all running to Shangjing now, so they can't ignore them.

Qin Yuandao wanted to discuss this matter with Qi Jingqin. After all, there were many people affected by the disaster outside Shangjing City, and they needed to be properly resettled without endangering the safety of the people in Shangjing City. This site selection and treatment team required the royal family to come forward.

In Qin Yuandao's eyes, Qi Jingqin was the most suitable candidate for both public and private matters - Qi Bingyu was seriously ill in bed and had no energy to deal with such a thing.

The emperor is seriously ill, and the prince should be responsible for state affairs. However, Qi Jingyang was deposed yesterday. The news has not been announced yet. I did not expect that there is no other way except for this kind of thing. At present, only Qi Jingqin can come forward to comfort the refugees, but this matter is extremely

It is a dangerous but necessary thing to do, just like it was necessary to go to war before. Now the epidemic is spreading extremely fast and the people are panicked. If Qi Jingqin can come forward to appease this matter, it will establish his position and reputation in the minds of the people.

The foundation, and more importantly, allows those who still support Qi Jingyang to see clearly that only Qi Jingqin is the only person in the royal family who can stand up and preside over the overall situation.

So Qin Yuandao had to let Qi Jingqin do this no matter what. His idea was just like when Liang Fengmian insisted on taking Qi Jingqin to go out to stabilize the people when the border was attacked by the Great Liang. Now the people in the capital city

Panicked and not knowing how to end it, they temporarily protected the people in Shangjing City, but the refugees outside Shangjing City were still the people of the Celestial Dynasty. They were also panic-stricken and did not know that Shangjing City was now rejecting them.

Have you given up on them outside the door?

Qin Yuandao wanted Qi Jingqin to come forward to appease these refugees, not only to appease the refugees, but also to let the whole world see the sense of responsibility of the Chinese royal family, and also to let the emperor see Qi Jingqin's responsibility and righteousness after he wakes up. This is a good thing for them

Excellent thing.

With this in mind, Qin Yuandao went to Prince Jing's Mansion. Qi Jingqin should be at Prince Jing's Mansion now. He may not know what the situation is now. Qin Yuandao must have a good discussion with him, but once he arrives at Prince Jing's Mansion,

Zhuo Qi told him that Qi Jingqin had gone to Prince Cong's Mansion and had not come back. Qin Yuandao thought about it and it was right. After all, after fighting for so long, there was finally a result. Qi Jingqin definitely wanted to go and see it. Later

When asked about Liang Huanqing, Chu Qi said that she had gone to the palace. Qin Yuandao found it strange why Liang Huanqing didn't take a good rest after her miscarriage. What was she going to the palace for?

Zhuo Qi couldn't explain it. He just said that Princess Jing was acting weird after she woke up. She had changed a lot from before. But Qin Yuandao could understand it. Liang Huanqing had just lost her child during miscarriage, and it was because of Zhao Peiyu, the wife of Qi Jingqin's nemesis Qi Jingyang.

Caused by poison, Liang Huanqing must be extremely sad, but now Zhao Peiyu is dead, but one life has been exchanged for another. Liang Huanqing should have paid attention to his own body. As an elder, Qin Yuandao can't help but feel sorry for Liang Huanqing.

This kind of behavior does not cherish oneself.

Later, Chuo Qi said: "If Mr. Qin is anxious to find Prince Jing, you can go to the palace and have a look. The empress and princess have returned to the palace. The emperor is now..." Chuo Qi couldn't go on at this point. He kept saying

In the palace, I don't know if such words can be said out loud. After all, I am following Prince Jing in the court, and I can probably guess how chaotic the situation is now. "Prince Jing probably won't go back to the palace directly.

If Mr. Qin is in a hurry, you can wait at the palace gate."

When Qin Yuandao saw Chuo Qi hesitating, he could probably guess what he was going to say. Regarding this matter, Qin Yuandao knew better than Chuo Qi. Since Chuo Qi had said so, Qin Yuandao

He had no choice but to say: "Okay, I have no choice but to go to the palace gate and wait."

Chuo Qi raised his hand and bowed to him, and sent him outside the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion. Although he felt that the situation in Beijing would soon change, Chuo Qi was just a slave and was not so sensitive to these things, but since

When Prince Qi Jingyang was deposed, even Zhao Qi could imagine that Qin Yuandao would try his best to put Prince Jing on the throne.

As soon as Qin Yuandao left Prince Jing's Mansion, he rushed to the palace gate. At this time, he had to race against time, even for the refugees...

Qin Yuandao quickly arrived at the entrance of the palace. At this time, the Taihe Gate was closed tightly, and no other people were allowed in or out. Qin Yuandao was not willing to go in at all. At this time, he only had to wait for Qi Jingqin. He would not see the emperor if he went in. Now in Beijing

The street was cleared, and there were only a few vendors packing their things. Qin Yuandao had nothing to do, so he looked up at the imperial city for which he had dedicated his life.

A dim sunset streaked across the exquisite turrets, casting a hazy yellow light into the high walls, making the palace look mysterious and quiet.

Looking from a distance, the crimson palaces seem to be embedded in the sky.

The palace located in the center of Shangjing, with its glazed tile roofs exposed, looks like a golden island among the surrounding small towns.

The gorgeous pavilions of Huaqing Palace are surrounded by the water of Huaqing Pool, with duckweed all over the ground, green and bright.

The two dragons on the cornices, with golden scales and golden armor, are vividly alive, as if they want to fly into the sky.

It's such a big palace-like building, with golden glazed tiles shining dazzlingly in the sun.

Under the blue sky, the golden glazed tiled double-eaves roof of the Forbidden City looks particularly brilliant.

The ground paved with fine white jade shines with a warm light. There seems to be a mist shrouding the unreal palace in the distance. Phoenixes spread their wings on the cornices carved from sandalwood, and the floating windows carved with green tiles are stacked with jade.

Wall panels, a huge square at the end of a straight road slowly sinks with jade steps, a straight pillar on the huge altar in the center is carved with lifelike dragon patterns, far away from the phoenix on the palace...

It was already the afterglow of the setting sun. Qin Yuandao had not yet changed out of his official bird uniform. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his body, making the birds embroidered with gold and silver threads on his chest sparkle. Qin Yuandao's official hat was

The jewels also show off their elegance.

"Lord Qin!" Hearing the sound of horse hoofbeats, Qi Jingqin hurried to Qin Yuandao's side.

Qin Yuandao turned around, saw Qi Jingqin, and hurriedly walked over. He raised his hand and said politely: "I am here to see you, Your Majesty."

Qi Jingqin knew that Qin Yuandao was waiting for him to discuss matters here. He also knew the general situation in the palace. He just went to Prince Cong's Mansion to see Qi Jingyang. He wanted to give him a chance to deal with the troublesome guy, but he didn't expect the other party.

He didn't appreciate it at all, and Qi Jingqin was in a very bad mood now.

After seeing Qin Yuandao, he calmed down his emotions, hurriedly stepped forward to support Qin Yuandao, and said, "Master Qin, there is no need to be polite."

Qin Yuandao was not polite to him. There were imperial guards guarding the palace gate. After they walked a few steps to the side, Qin Yuandao whispered: "Does the prince know the current situation?"

Qi Jingqin nodded and said: "Qi Jingyang was deposed and my father is seriously ill. I probably know these things."

"What's wrong with the prince's face?" Qin Yuandao looked at Qi Jingqin, but noticed a scar on his face, and couldn't help but be curious.

Only then did Qi Jingqin touch the scratch on his cheekbone where Qi Jingyang punched him, and the hatred in his eyes became even deeper. After all, it was impossible for the two of them to reconcile as before, so it would be better to just let them go without any affection.

His teeth were itching, so he punched him hard again. Qi Jingqin shook his head and said, "It's okay, I was hit just now. Why did Mr. Qin come here to wait for me?"

"Refugees." Since Qi Jingqin didn't want to say more, Qin Yuandao said his thoughts straight to the point, "Now there are a large number of refugees outside Shangjing City, and the people inside and outside the city are all panic-stricken. Now the emperor is seriously ill and the prince has been deposed.

, only you can stabilize the people's hearts... just like when you went to war..."

Listening to what Qin Yuandao said, Qi Jingqin is not a fool. As long as he takes this step, he will not only share the worries of the court and his father in time, but also establish his status as the crown prince. If this matter is done well, he will

He is the uncrowned emperor.

…

In the palace, both Liang Huanqing and Xia Rongxin arrived at the Qinzheng Hall. Xia Rongxin was a little surprised when she saw Liang Huanqing coming. In the past, there were people in the palace who had miscarriages, and they had to stay in bed for half a month, so that they would not be affected.

She would have children in the future, but she never expected that Liang Huanqing would get out of bed and move around so soon.

After Liang Huanqing saw Xia Rongxin, she bowed slightly and saluted. Now she only had one belief in her heart: she would never be able to conceive another child, so she might as well spend more time doing business.

No matter what, they both have the same idea now. Qi Jingyang has been deposed, and only Qi Jingqin can ascend to the throne. But in order to prevent things from turning around in the future... The emperor is seriously ill this time, so he cannot be allowed to stand again under any circumstances.
