After giving the order, Heshen returned to the Donghun Pavilion. At this time, Qianlong, who was lying on the couch, had fallen into a deep coma due to a stroke. One of the two imperial physicians was receiving acupuncture treatment. The eunuch of the general manager, Xiao Delu, stood by and looked anxiously, looking very impatient.

Heshen comforted Xiao Delu and signaled to another middle-aged imperial physician named Meng, asking the other party to come out with him. The two came outside the hall, and Heshen whispered: "What is the condition of the emperor?"

Physician Meng bowed and said, "If you go back to the Central Hall, the Shengjiao this time was caused by excessive qi and blood reversal. The so-called deficiency of qi cannot transform dampness, dampness and evil are hidden in the middle Jiao, and the yin deficiency produces internal heat, heat burns body fluids, dampness and heat accumulate, blocks meridians, and turns fire to produce wind, and phlegm and fire go against the clear orifices. It is probably impossible to use needles alone. The medicine should be mainly used to restore yang and stabilize the detachment, awaken the brain and open the orifices. This is the prescription written by the lower official, please check it out."

Heshen listened very carefully. He now has a lot of positions and is in charge of the Imperial Hospital and the Imperial Pharmacy. It is the immediate boss of these Imperial Physicians. He took the prescription and continued to ask: "When will the emperor wake up?"

Physician Meng said: "If you use the medicine, you will definitely recover. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"Even if the emperor wakes up this time, his words and actions may still be inconvenient. He needs to be calm and not disturbed by external affairs."

Heshen nodded, looked up and glanced south. Seeing the eunuch who had walked before, returning, with more than a dozen people wearing Sula's Servant's costumes following him, his heart thundered. He suppressed his sigh and said, "Northern pirates are ready to move outside the pass, and the Miao people in the south are not stable. The Qing Dynasty cannot be without the emperor. Lao Meng, we have been in love for more than ten years. Tell me the truth. Can the emperor still handle government affairs when he wakes up this time?"

"Uh..." Doctor Meng hesitated for a moment and finally said sadly: "Central Hall, the lower official said that the emperor was sick too suddenly this time. Even if he recovered, he might not be as good as before. It is probably difficult to deal with government affairs."

Heshen nodded after hearing this, then opened the prescription and looked for a moment. He suddenly looked surprised and said, "Hey? This prescription is not right."

"The central government, the minister dares to use his life to guarantee the prescription, and there is no prescription..." Doctor Meng hurriedly defended, he did not notice that the eunuchs had already come a few steps behind him.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred. A Sula servant who was walking in the front shook his hand and slid out of his sleeve, emitting a bright cold light under the light. The man walked behind Doctor Meng, covered the other person's mouth with a dagger, and stabbed it into the back of his heart twice.

Doctor Meng's back felt heartbroken and a hoarse whine sounded in his throat. He widened his eyes and looked at Heshen with a smile in disbelief. He kicked his legs a few times, and swallowed unwillingly.

"There are four in the main hall and four in the West Warehouse Pavilion. Except for the emperor, Xiao Delu should not hurt him, just keep it."

Hearing Heshen's order, the man in charge of assassinated wiped the dagger on the bottom of his boot twice and said in a deep voice: "Yes. What else do you have to do with your master?" Although this man spoke with a squinting voice, his voice was hoarse and rough, and he was obviously not a eunuch.

"Your Majesty, you can't wake up or die. Do you understand?!"

Another guy with a fat face whispered: "Master, don't worry, I have learned medical skills for two years, so I can still get this trick."

Heshen closed his eyes and nodded heavily. More than a dozen people entered him one after another. After a few breaths, several screams and screams came from the East Warehouse. A faint smell of blood floated into Heshen's nose. He opened his eyes and looked at the dark night sky in the distance, feeling worried.

Although the sudden launch of the attack today was a bit hasty, Heshen knew in his heart that Qianlong would probably not be able to do this time. Once the palace gate was wide open, the news would not be hidden in any case, and it would be too late to do anything at that time.

It was in that cold winter half a year ago, when Zhao Xin said those deafening words in the Shuifa Tower, Heshen, whose mind was greatly impacted, began to plan a way out for himself and his family. However, when he analyzed all aspects one by one, he found that he did not have many choices.

He was waiting for Qianlong to wait for the Northern Navy to enter the capital, so that Zhao Xin could take all the gold, silver and treasures he had accumulated for many years? He was unwilling to accept it.

Make preparations in advance and take the emperor to Xi'an. Not to mention whether Qianlong, who was 83, was willing to be the "Emperor of Tang Ming", even if he was willing, he could withstand this trouble. How long could he stay in Xi'an? The Northern Navy attacked him from east to west, and the court had to continue running to Xining or even Tibet? Qianlong, who was over 80, entered the snowy plateau, and Heshen's scalp was numb when he thought about it.

What's more, Heshen is not tired of living yet! When the Chaoyin Temple negotiations ended and returned to Beijing to reopen, he never forgot the murderous intent he felt from Yongyan. Although Qianlong was secretly appointed as a crown prince, he became a fool if he couldn't see it anymore.

OK! Although Zhao Xin had clearly refused to the test of his surrender outside the pass, Heshen still saw the opportunity from the other party's methods of conduct over the years. In his opinion, although Beihai Town won people's hearts under the banner of Qianming, Zhao Xin's attitude towards the Manchus and prisoners outside the pass was enough to prove that this person would not be killed. As long as he did things, he could have a way out; Qitai was the best example.

Neither want to give up money nor life, so there is only one way left before Heshen. He went to Yunnan, Guizhou and Helin to join forces with him to take down Myanmar and southern Tibet for Zhao Xin. I will help you expand your territory and provide you with arms and material support. With this contribution, it is not an exaggeration to change the position of guarding northern Myanmar in the Xin Dynasty for another generation, right?

After nine years, the Qing monarchs and ministers came to a conclusion from information of all sizes. The reason why Zhao Xin fought east and west but did not take the capital was to seek stability, and the other was to turn barriers into territory. This person forced the court to take Gurkha, and he was also concerned about southern Tibet and northern Burma, and his ambition was obvious.

Heshen believes that as long as he has the support of Beihai Town, coupled with his huge financial resources and the 30,000 troops under Helin, neither Yongyan nor Fu Kang'an dares to touch him.

After planning, he began to prepare. A few years ago, he discussed with his confidants such as Liu Quan and Ma Bashisan, and first transferred the group of people who were in charge of assassination from Jiangnan to the capital. There were more than 70 people in this group, all of whom were adopted by him for many years, and he obeyed him on his own orders. Later, Heshen inserted most of them into Sula's servants in the Old Summer Palace through the power of the General Manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Of course, if you want to engage in a coup, this is not enough.

Just as Heshen was dazed and dazed, the people in the hall had killed what they should have and tied them up. Several subordinates also began to carry out the bodies and wipe the ground. All the dead would be tied with heavy objects and sink into the lake behind.

Heshen rubbed his face with his hands and turned around and entered the hall. When he walked into the East Warehouse, he saw the eunuch Xiao Delu, who was tied into rice dumplings, lying on the ground, looking at him with a surprised and fearful look. Heshen ignored him, but walked to the couch, took a bunch of keys from the unconscious Qianlong's waist, and then went straight to the West Warehouse called "Le'anhe".

This is Qianlong's dormitory and study, which is extremely private. Even though he is favored by Qianlong, he can't come in easily. After entering the house, he looked around, came to the table, got some water into the inkstone, ground cinnabar ink, took a piece of yellow paper used to write the edict, picked up the pen and dipped it ink, and began to turn the pen. If Xiao Delu saw it, he would be surprised that his handwriting was almost exactly the same as Qianlong.

Speaking of which, in order to please Qianlong, Heshen worked hard on poetry, otherwise he would not have had a book called "Jialetang Collection" in history. In addition, his calligraphy attainments were also first-class. Since Qianlong often wrote poems in the past, his handwriting imitating Qianlong could reach the level of being fake and real.

Heshen wrote two decrees and a letter in total. Then he came to Qianlong's bedside, opened a sandalwood box about a foot square with the key, and took out a seal from a yellow silk bag. This is a "Emperor's Treasure" seal engraved in two Manchu and Han characters. It is made of sandalwood, carved with a dragon button, tied with silk ribbons, and the text is made of jade seal (a type of small seal).

During the eleventh year of Qianlong's re-examination and ranking of many imperial treasures of the previous emperors, and finally set the total number to twenty-five and detailed their respective scope of use. Among the twenty-five jade seals, this sandalwood seal has the highest frequency of use and a wide range of stamping, which cannot be compared with other treasures.

Heshen held his breath and carefully dredged the cinnabar ink, stamped the two forged edicts. While waiting for the ink marks and marks to dry out, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead and back of his neck.

After that, he put the "Emperor's Treasure" into a bag, tied it to his waist in his official robe, and looked at the dressing mirror in the room. Because the official uniform was very wide, it was basically impossible to see from the appearance. Then, he folded two blank imperial papers with printed seals into the cuffs, and then walked out of the Xihunting Pavilion.

"Go and call Hu Shijie here." Heshen ordered the eunuch who brought him down.

The eunuch was stunned, then nodded, and said "Aba Aba" twice. It turned out that this person was a mute.

After one stick of incense, when the clear and faint agarwood was floating in Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace, the eunuch Hu Shijie also arrived. He beat Heshen, who was waiting outside the hall gate, and smiled and said, "Hezhongtang, are you looking for a young man?"

Heshen pulled out an edict from his sleeve and handed it to the other party, saying, "The emperor summoned Prince Yi and Prince Ding immediately entered the palace. This is an edict."

Hu Shijie hurriedly knelt on the ground, held it with both hands, and carefully opened the lantern in the hand of the eunuch Sulan at the door, and saw it: "The emperor ordered Prince Yi Yonglang, Prince Ding Mianen immediately entered the garden to see the car. May 25, 51st year of Qianlong."

The words were right, and the seal was right. Hu Shijie did not doubt that he had him, so he got up and left. When the other party disappeared, Heshen took out another forged edict from his sleeve, a letter and a square waist sign, and whispered to the mute eunuch: "You go to Hangjiatun and hand this to Liu Quan to prepare him."

The reason why he had to forge an imperial edict to let Prince Yi Yonglang and Prince Ding Mianen enter the palace was to control the two of them in order to gain control over the Eight Banners Guardians and the Infantry Commander's Office.

The Qing Dynasty learned from the lessons of the Ming Dynasty, and an important feature in internal systems was checks and balances, which made no one in history able to launch a coup through military means. Although the power of the military ministers was very great, they were just the heads of civil officials and the emperor's voice-over.

So although Heshen is also the Admiral of the Nine Gate and the Minister of the Guards, the one who really controls the infantry commander's yamen is Qianlong's grandson Mianen, and the one who controls the Eight Banners Guards camp is the third Prince Yi Yonglang. In other words, our Hezhongtang is not the presidential minister who is in charge of the seal, and there is no military talisman. After dawn, as long as the situation is not right, the two princes can lead troops to destroy him in minutes.

To put it simply, the military talismans that could mobilize the emperor's personal army in the Qing Dynasty were never a gold medal arrow, but two things that looked like waist cards; one was carved in positive text and the other was carved in negative text. When communicating troops, in addition to showing the imperial edict, we also need to check whether the two were in compliance with the first one.

After the mute eunuch left, Heshen called two subordinates and accompanied him to an outside a small courtyard outside the Old Summer Palace. When he knocked on the door and walked in, he saw more than 30 people holding weapons, shuttled armor and cotton armor gathered in the yard under the bright light. Heshen knelt down with his sleeves and said in unison: "Master."

Heshen nodded slightly, raised his hand to signal everyone to get up, and said in a deep voice with a blue face: "Everyone understands what to do next?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "I understand!"

"Okay! When the action is taken later, the two princes will keep the living, and no guards under them will be left."

"Yeah!"

To put it short, more than half an hour later, it was dim. Prince Yi Yonglang, who came under the imperial edict, and Prince Ding Mianen dismounted his horse outside the gate of the palace, and followed the eunuch Hu Shijie with four guards. When they walked past the Ruyi Bridge leading to the Qingyan of Jiuzhou, they arrived at the door of the Yuanmingyuan Hall. The two princes were about to order several guards to wait here, suddenly more than a dozen people rushed out of the darkness on both sides, each holding weapons and rushed straight towards them.

At this time, Mianen and Yonglang's four guards were shocked. When they saw each other slashing their swords, they unconsciously raised their hands and blocked them with their arms. You must know that this is the Forbidden Garden. Without the emperor's order, it would be a dead end to dare to hold weapons here.

The two men in the lead, holding long swords, raised their swords and fell, and immediately cut off the forearms of the two guards. After two screams, the attacker stepped forward and tripped them up and kicked them to the ground. The reason for using long swords was that this knife was very suitable for fighting in the dark. It was because it was difficult to see clearly that the principle of "one inch long, one inch strong".

Those who can serve as guards for the princes are all very skilled. When they see the person coming, they first shouted "Who" and then waved the horse whip in their hands to protect the two princes and run back. However, they soon found that several figures were already standing at the bridge, blocking the retreat tightly.

Prince Yi Yonglang was shocked and shouted: "I am Prince Heshuo, and I am ordered to see you! Why do you want to kill someone?"

Prince Ding Mianen was also full of horror. Although he was the most familiar with archery, horses, and shooting among the kings, he had no bows and arrows, no swords, and no armor. How could he resist?

At this time, someone said behind me: "The imperial edict is here, please ask the two princes to accept the edict~~"

Yonglang turned around and saw a middle-aged man wearing a python robe and smiling face standing at the door of the hall. Who would it be if Heshen?

"He Zhongtang saves me..."

Taking advantage of Yonglang and others' shock, several attackers took a loophole and rushed two guards and two princes to knock down each other. Prince Ding Mianen, who was in his forties, was different from the thin Yonglang. He was as strong as a cow and was overturned to the ground and couldn't help but struggle. Heshen's two subordinates almost couldn't control it. Then they rushed over and pressed him together. One of them stepped on his neck with his feet, which made it difficult for him to move his upper body.

However, Mianen's legs were still struggling to death, and a hoarse shout came out: "Come here..." Before he finished speaking, a rope was stuffed into his mouth.

Soon, the two princes and two guards were tied up with ropes. Yonglang and Mianen were stuffed into the cowhide pockets prepared in advance and tied their mouths. They dragged and pulled into the yard not far away. The four guards were also stripped off their yellow jackets, and one of them was stabbed in the heart, stuffed them into the pocket, put them in the stones, and were carried by the four people and threw them into the lake.
