Chapter 9
Seventy-seven forty-nine days passed by in a flash, during which the first New Year of Shouyuan's arrival in this world had passed. The next day, the regent ordered the seizure of the throne in the name of the imperial edict, and granted Shouyuan the favor to attack the prince.
The prince, named Prince Shou, ordered him to serve as a member of the Imperial Guard as soon as possible.
As soon as the imperial decree spread, the servants rushed over to express their congratulations. Even Kui Jiu and his son came over to congratulate him.
Shouyuan was not in the mood at this time. Wang Fulin, who had just delivered the decree, also brought a secret order: Tomorrow morning, he would ambush outside the Yangxin Hall and kill Yuan Shikai if he behaves inappropriately in front of him!
Shouyuan was still wondering at this time, even if he behaves badly before the king, he will not be punished with death!
Everyone congratulated them, but Shouyuan didn't want to pay attention to them. He hurriedly chased everyone away and went straight to the back room, ignoring everyone. Shoufujin, dressed in colorful clothes, came happily. When he saw this, he quickly ordered: "Xing'er, please take care of me."
Bring everyone to my house and wait in my courtyard, and I will give you the reward on behalf of the prince!"
Everyone retreated in confusion, but Kui Jiu's father and son never left. Shou Fujin's cannon fired again: "Hey, where are these relatives from? Why don't I remember that our family has such a relative?
."
Yinghai said with a shy face: "Go back to the princess, I am my uncle to the prince."
Seeing this, Shoufu Jin didn't want to say any more, and urged: "You guys should go quickly! Go to my courtyard, they don't give out meat buns here!"
After everyone finally left, Shouyuan could calm down. There was something fishy in this matter. How could state affairs be such a trivial matter?
Even if there is no problem with this decree, if I really chop Yuan Shikai into pieces in the end, in order to appease the anger of the Beiyang Army, I will most likely be pushed out as a scapegoat. Oh, I understand, no wonder they gave me a knighthood.
, this means that you have to ascend first and then descend! Maybe it will take my life! The ancients were sincere and would not be deceived. They must ask for others when they are polite. What should I do?
At this time Dieffenbachia came, and congratulated him a lot first. Shouyuan thought to himself: This guy is loyal to the court. He always has a mysterious trust in Shouyuan from beginning to end. He always thinks that Shouyuan is a genius who saves the Qing court. How about asking?
After Wan Nianqing listened, he pondered and said: "Your Majesty, this is an important task given to you by the imperial court! Eradicate the traitors and restore a peaceful world to the world! There is no need to think about this matter, it is our duty to do so!"
Shouyuan looked at this guy's arrogant look: Oh, no wonder he is still a fringe figure in the Hanlin Academy. He has no political sensitivity. This kind of figure is too good for the regime, but in this declining Qing court, all the people are used.
A boneless flattering literati and loyal figure to the Qing court, but he is always depressed and miserable.
Shouyuan had no choice but to agree: "I understand, you should go back first, I have to make a good plan."
On the other side, in Shou Fujin's room, Kui Jiu asked: "Auntie, I heard that the prince still lives in the study?"
Shou Fujin immediately became unhappy when he heard this: "Hey, he can live wherever he likes! The emperor doesn't care about it, how about you?"
Kui Jiu smiled and said, "Isn't this just a blind worry?"
Shou Fujin pretended to smile: "He has been worrying about going back to this hospital all day long, but I didn't spit out his words. Do you think why?"
Kui Jiu was afraid that Shou Fujin would offend Shou Yuan, so he quickly advised him, "You should just get off the slope!"
Shou Fujin said: "I want to tell him something. I was the daughter-in-law before, so it was okay. Now he is the prince. If he wants to live, he has to live in the main hall, Yin'an Hall! Otherwise, let's free up that place, don't even think about it!"
Kui Jiu: "Liu Fujin agreed?"
Shou Fujin: “Didn’t my mother-in-law listen to us?”
Kui Jiu said with a smile: "That's right," and then his smile became even brighter: "Girl, look, did you tell the prince that your brother and I will do a good job for you?"
Shou Fujin: "Hey, I have no control over this matter. You can go find the prince yourself!"
Kui Jiu then said: "Please give me some advice to the prince, will your brother and I have our positions soon?"
Shou Fujin pretended to be proud: "Okay, I'll help you with this."
"Thank you, Princess!"
After Kui Jiu left, Shou Fujin immediately showed an anxious expression and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He hurriedly called Ginkgo: "Xing'er, help me light the smoker!"
"Auntie, don't you want to quit?"
"I won't quit, I won't quit! No, tie me up quickly, I can't smoke! I want to give birth to a brother for the prince!"
Shouyuan thought for a long time, and suddenly remembered that Kui Jiu seemed to have leaked the secret in the play, but even if the secret was not leaked, no one in the leaked court council told Yuan Shikai?
Thinking of this, Shouyuan felt relieved, but he had to be extra sure that Yuan Shikai would not appear in the Yangxin Palace tomorrow!
Kui Jiu was about to leave the county prince's palace when he was suddenly pulled by housekeeper Xu Ertong: "Mr. Kui, the prince has invited you!"
When Kui Jiu rushed to the study, Shouyuan pretended to close the doors and windows, and also ordered: "Xu Ertong, keep your distance and don't let anyone get close!"
"The slave obeys the order."
Kui Jiu felt a little nervous: "Your Majesty, what do you want to do with this slave?"
Shouyuan took a deep breath and it was time to show off his acting skills!
He said seriously: "You are my father-in-law. I also know that you want to be reinstated. I have something to do today. The regent asked me, alas, forget it! You can go back."
Hey, Kui Jiu was not curious at first, but after doing this, he became curious: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I swear here, I will never tell anyone what your Majesty said today, otherwise I will be struck by lightning!"
Shouyuan pretended to be very trusting: "You are my father-in-law. How can I still be uneasy? But this matter is really important. I'm afraid that you might tell it in your dream and ruin the regent's affairs. Then
But you’re going to be beheaded!”
Kui Jiu knelt down and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Even if I die, I won't tell anyone. I'll seal my mouth with tape tonight to make sure I don't miss a word!"
Shouyuan then said with relief, "Actually, you know this too. Do you know who Emperor Daxing hates the most?"
Kui Jiu's eyes rolled up: "Yuan Wei, Yuan Shikai!" Kui Jiu almost exposed his relationship with Yuan Shikai and quickly changed his words.
Shouyuan pretended not to notice: "That's right, the regent has given a secret order. If Yuan Shikai fails to behave in court tomorrow morning, he will be executed immediately!"
Kui Jiu was shocked and turned pale, and quickly adjusted: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I wonder what your Majesty's instructions are?"
Shouyuan signaled his ears and whispered: "I know you are very familiar with the gatekeepers of the Nine Gates. Please help me tell them to guard the gate tonight and pay attention to who orders them to open the door."
Kui Jiu asked doubtfully: "But, Your Majesty, this matter of the Nine Sects is not your business?"
Shouyuan patted Kui Jiu's hand: "In case someone runs away tonight, I have to know who leaked the news! Otherwise tomorrow the regent will think that I betrayed him!"
Kui Jiu patted his chest: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely do my job beautifully!"
Shouyuan said with a smile: "After the matter is completed, I will definitely ask the regent to reinstate Mr. Taishan to his original position, and also entrust him with important responsibilities!"
After Kui Jiu left, Shouyuan's face fell. He had changed history, but that was wrong. No matter whether he leaked the information or not, Yuan Shikai could still leave. He just ensured that history would not deviate. There was nothing he could do about it.
I accidentally passed away to the west.
