Qi Yu's guess was very accurate. At this time, the emperor had indeed returned to the capital.
The main reason why he remained in ambush was because he calculated a trick for himself, and saw that the elephant said: "On the ninth day of the lunar month, don't use Hidden Dragon."
This hexagram is a metaphor: Things are still in the early stages of development, and there are only a few clues showing, so we should always be cautious and not act rashly.
Tsk tsk~~
When did the emperor learn to tell fortunes?
Not so long ago.
That day, he was attacked at sea and attacked by some unknown thieves. If it were not for the help of the Qiong Army convoy that happened to arrive at that time, he would have been destroyed long ago.
This incident was a huge shock to the emperor.
Anyone who dares to stab a driver is definitely not an ordinary person.
Although there are rumors in the world that Fuso Japanese pirates have been escaping in recent times. However, judging from the other party's style of focusing on themselves and not taking money, it does not look like the traditional style of the Japanese people.
In other words, there is still a serious question mark as to whether the Japanese pirates were responsible.
If combined with the strange behavior of Wang Zhifan, the commander of the internal guards, who kept secrets and refused to report them, the problems involved are as big as the sky.
There must be someone deliberately causing trouble!
As he thought about it, the emperor suddenly felt a splitting headache, as if his head had been chopped open with a sharp axe, and he was so painful that he couldn't breathe.
In order to relieve the symptoms, the emperor decisively picked up a large bowl and drank two kilograms of strong liquor in succession to dilute the pain in his body.
There was no royal doctor to accompany him, so he had no choice but to make do with it.
While drunk, the emperor had a very strange dream.
But I saw that the late emperor, his father, cried bitterly in his dream and said: My son, father, I really don’t want to get together with you so soon!
ah!!
The emperor woke up with sweat all over his body, eager to decipher the mystery hidden in this dream.
However, there is no magic stick who is good at mysticism around, how to solve this problem?
It is better to seek help from others than to seek help from yourself. Wouldn't it be enough to do some research on your own?
In this way, the emperor took the initiative to become the first-level magic stick.
After he understood a little bit about the operation, he set up an altar to ask questions to the sky.
But the hexagram reply he got was: his end is approaching, and he is not far away from the time when he can ride a crane.
Oh my God! How could you treat me like this?
My ambition has not yet been realized, I am really unwilling to do so!
I really want to live another five hundred years!
No matter how crazy and mad the emperor was, he could not change the will of God. In the end, he accepted this fact. This does not mean that he was completely addicted to the mysterious level, but his own body told him: Erzhu
Now that it has entered the body, even if doctors diagnose and treat it, there is no way to save it.
I know my own situation well. The so-called asking questions to the sky is just a result of hysterical psychological factors.
After feeling relieved, the emperor began to think about his next action plan.
Judging from the previous actions of the unknown dark forces, it seems that my group has been targeted by them.
If you want to get rid of the other party's spying, you must use a method similar to that of a golden cicada escaping its shell.
What a coincidence!
At this time, I suddenly heard that Dagu Port was completely closed, and all passing ships were prohibited from docking.
After sizing up the situation, the emperor came up with a timely and appropriate strategy to build a plank road openly and secretly attack Chen Cang.
Specifically, the fleet under his command continued to go north along the coastline of Dafeng, and when it reached the Dagu Port area, it immediately launched a sea roundabout, in order to attract the prying eyes of the dark forces.
As for his true form, he traveled overland to Beijing secretly, and then lurked somewhere to understand the current situation.
This kind of operation can mislead the other party and protect oneself, which can be said to complement each other.
However!
After arriving in Beijing, the emperor's headache suddenly broke out again.
In terms of incentives, it is naturally caused by these messy political affairs and the accumulated pain of losing a child.
After taking a few decoctions to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, the disease was slightly relieved.
While you are awake, continue to think.
At this time, there must be some strange change in the palace, otherwise, it would be impossible for his two princes to die one after another.
If we add in the popular saying of Si Chen, the name of the instigator is almost self-explanatory.
Yes!
Currently, I only have an only son left under my knees. I really have no choice!
Even if his mother committed some serious misconduct, she would not be able to sway him without any scruples as before.
If one day, he really passes away, how should the stupid second prince behave? If he loses the protection of his mother, how can he be able to secure his position as a young man?
well……
If I had known this, I would have gone to Linxing Chuxiu Palace more often, and sprinkled water and rain and dew casually, so that not a single seedling would fall.
From a theoretical perspective, it is not too late.
If you work hard and work hard, it is still possible to create some posthumous children. However, it is a pity that the intention is more than the strength.
"Qi Xiao, Qi Xiao, you are such a cheat! Did you know that that one shot pushed me into a desperate situation?"
"Hmph! If it weren't for Princess Linlang's sake, I would have to punish you for a big crime!"
Thinking of Qi Xiao, his cheap son-in-law, the emperor's headache couldn't help but worsen.
I never expected that his rather big case would involve so many court officials!
The Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, the Admiral of the Nine Gates, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, which one is not a pillar?
If you add in the minister of Dali Temple who has resigned from the field, you can make up the number in one palm.
Oh no!
One less.
The Minister of Industry is now a useless minister who must be taken down.
If it weren't for his serious dereliction of duty, how could the Pacific Fleet be hijacked by Tianzhu Asan because the steam engine broke down?
Grandma's legs are so shameful that she was sent overseas!
Where is the majesty of China?
What's the use of keeping a fool like him who only knows how to loot?
The investigation is settled!
But as a result, six ministers were involved.
How to deal with it?
Is it better to apply for a salary and see the consequences? Or to stop the boiling water, it is better to remove the salary?
Although the forward strategy can stabilize the imperial court, it will break trust in Nanyang's reputation.
Before returning to Beijing, he solemnly promised him that "I will live up to my country and my country." If I deliberately favored the courtiers this time, wouldn't it chill his heart?
Although the latter policy was motivated by righteousness, it would bring a lot of mess to the prince.
No matter which one of these two strategies is adopted, it requires great courage to make a decision!
It’s really hard to decide…
In the following time, the emperor continued his strategy of lying flat and hiding in the dark, watching from the sidelines.
Therefore, everything that happened in the capital fell into his discerning eye.
But that night, a follower came to report urgently.
It was said that the guard at a certain city gate was knocked unconscious by someone. It seemed that someone else took the opportunity to sneak into the city.
However, when someone was sent to check, everything was as usual.
As for what happened, no one knows.
Later, someone came to report that there seemed to be imperial guards around Qi Yu's residence.
Immediately afterwards, another person was sent to investigate.
However, I still haven't been able to figure out the reason.
But one thing is certain, the nine admirals have already started taking action against the Qi family.
Fortunately, the outcome was safe.
The emperor looked out the window at the slightly shining sky and said: "Quickly prepare your car and go to Qi Mansion to have a look."
