The emperor of Gaoqiu, Gao Yun, never thought that the one who was having the most difficult time now was the emperor of Anyu.
In the end, it was him.
Ever since he bumped into the scene where the Queen and that smelly Taoist priest were sleeping on the couch, after he fainted, although he didn't vomit blood or anything, when he woke up, he felt that his body was not as good as before.
I'm out of breath when I move, and I can't read at all because I have a headache and dizziness.
The confidant minister comforted him and reminded him that the Queen's incident might be framed by someone else.
After Gao Yun calmed down, he actually felt that something was wrong. The queen had been married to him for many years. Although women in the harem were not allowed to participate in politics, the queen helped him analyze and make decisions on important matters that were difficult to make.
It is precisely because of this that he has always pretended to be ignorant about the cruel things the queen did to his favored concubines. What he lacks most is women.
This time, the Queen joined forces with Yang Li to raise an army against Anyu, and it was a decision the Queen made after helping him analyze the pros and cons.
He also knew that the reason why the queen was so involved in this matter was related to the fact that the head of the state had secretly accepted the heavy gifts from the envoys of the Yangli Kingdom.
But he himself has been coveting Anyu for a long time, otherwise there would be nothing like the last time he sent troops to Anyu. Unfortunately, that time, everything was calculated, and he thought it was a sure thing, but he missed the calculation.
Mrs. Gu, the lord of the Seven Cities, actually sent troops to help King Naji.
It was only later that I found out that Mrs. Gu had been hooking up with King Naji for a long time. She wanted to take revenge on the nosy city lord Mrs. Gu, but the ministers did not agree, saying that since the city lord did such a thing
Things are definitely certain.
Therefore, he thought that he had suffered a dumb loss that time, and just made a note in his mind that when he had the opportunity in the future, he would take care of the Lord of the Seven Cities.
Not long ago, Yangli State sent people to discuss the joint attack on Anyu State, saying that even if they could not capture the entire Anyu State in one fell swoop, they could capture as many cities as Gaoqiu.
After hearing this, Gao Yun immediately wanted to agree, but the trouble was that he knew that Yangli State was not a country of gentlemen, so he felt uneasy about forming an alliance with him.
When he was troubled, the queen analyzed it for him. If he was not sure, he could just take precautions. What a good opportunity. If Yang Li was really unkind, then Gao Qiu could also be justified in being unjust.
When Gao Yun heard this, he thought that this was the truth, so he agreed to Yang Liguo's proposal.
I sent a secret order to the border general to be more lively on the battlefield and not to be stubborn. We are here to get a share of the pie, not to be used as cannon fodder for the other side.
Anyway, it was Yangli who wanted to attack Anyu, so the main force to kill them was naturally their generals from Yangli!
After the alliance was formed, the generals on the border did act according to his wishes. Sure enough, Yangli State did not intend to be the main force by itself. It was just counting on Gaoqiu to rush in front. Why?
Neither side took the lead in attacking, so the battle situation remained stalemate, and there was no rush even at Gaoqiu.
But, how did things turn out to be like this?
Why did it come out that Gaoqiu secretly sent people to Anyu? They also said that Gaoqiu wanted to join forces with Anyu to destroy the Yangli Kingdom.
He, Gao Yun, is the emperor of Gaoqiu. He, the king, doesn't even know about this, but everyone else knows?
This was obviously a deliberate attempt by someone with good intentions to spread rumors and sow discord, but Yang Liguo still believed it.
They also arranged for messengers to send letters questioning and accusing them of being dishonest and treacherous.
Before this matter could be fully understood, another incident occurred when the queen was caught sleeping with that stinky Taoist priest. Immediately afterwards, the confidant minister asked to see him again overnight and told him that the bad news he had received was that the prince Gao Mingyu wanted to borrow it.
When Yangli's alliance to attack Anyu failed, he united with some important ministers in the DPRK to force the palace to abdicate.
It's not like Gao Yun has never thought that the prince's matter may be caused by someone with malicious intentions.
The queen and others can all be counted on, and the prince can also use the people closest to him to disturb his heart and disrupt the court.
What makes Gao Yun most uncomfortable is that he clearly knows in his heart that whether it is the queen or the prince, it may not be true. However, he can no longer trust the mother and son as before.
Especially for princes, establishing a prince is something that every king must do, but it may not be what every king wants to do in his heart.
Sitting on the Dragon Throne, he is the king of a country and the whole world belongs to him. He is the one who stands at the top of power. The best food, clothing, and supplies in the world are kept close to him, and they are in unlimited supply throughout the country.
The most beautiful women also stick to him and choose to enjoy them.
Not only the concubines in the harem belong to him, but as long as he likes them, those palace maids who are good at doing things and the daughters and granddaughters of ministers are all his playthings.
Otherwise, why would he find a qualified expert to enter the palace to refine the elixir of immortality for him?
The emperor hasn't done enough and doesn't want to die, but the prince exists just waiting to replace him!
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been waiting outside for more than an hour." After Eunuch Xu took the tea cup from Emperor Gao Yun's hand, he saw that his expression softened a little, so he cautiously mentioned.
"Well, you go and tell him that I dreamed of the late emperor last night and said that I missed my grandson. Let him go to the imperial mausoleum first to fulfill his filial piety." Gao Yun thought for a while and said.
Eunuch Xu tightened his hands under his sleeves and responded quickly: "Come on, I'll go right now."
Outside the palace, Eunuch Xu conveyed the emperor's oral instructions. Prince Gao Mingyu was startled after hearing this, but he didn't look very surprised. He bowed to the palace calmly and deeply: "My son, I hereby obey my father's order."
, set off for the imperial mausoleum immediately. Father, please take good care of the dragon body and don’t work too hard. I’ll take my leave!”
He walked quickly to his East Palace, ordered his entourage to clean up briefly, and immediately went to the imperial mausoleum.
In the study room in the East Palace, the Grand Tutor had been waiting there for a long time. After hearing what the Prince said, he flung his sleeves angrily: "You know clearly that someone is setting you up, and you don't believe in getting a wife. How come you treat your own son like this?
Prince, have you really admitted this mistake? If you are asked to go to the imperial mausoleum, can you come back again?"
The prince sat on the chair and beat his legs, which were tired from standing all morning: "I still have to go, but whether I can come back or not is not his decision. Taifu, please keep a low profile and be careful in the capital.
Don't let him find any excuses. He doesn't trust his wife and children, but I cherish feathers."
"I understand, I'm resigning. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, must be extremely careful." After the Master finished speaking, he left through the back door.
At this time, the Crown Princess, who received the news, hurried over and her eyes turned red as soon as she came in: "Your Highness, Your Majesty, how could he do this to you and the Queen Mother?"
"Don't cry. After I leave, you have to keep a close eye on your children, keep a low profile, be cautious and submissive, and wait for me to come back." Gao Mingyu told the Crown Princess simply and clearly.
There are some things you cannot say to her, as saying them will put her and the children in more danger.
Half an hour later, the prince got on the carriage, left the palace and went straight to the imperial mausoleum.
How did things come to this point? All kinds of chaos, but there is order. Who is the driving force behind this?
Gao Mingyu, who was on the carriage, did not complain, complain or be unwilling. He was asked to go to the imperial mausoleum just in time to leave this chaotic place and analyze with a clear head what was going on. It would not be like this for no reason...
