However, in his second month of supervising the country, a major event suddenly occurred, which shocked the chief minister of the cabinet Zhang Chuansheng. At the same time, it also shocked the government and the opposition.
Zhang Chuansheng, the chief assistant of the cabinet, reported the matter to Gong Zhaochang, the great prince who oversaw the country. After Gong Zhaochang heard this, he was at a loss what to do, "This matter is of great importance. If it is reported to the emperor for decision-making, how can the emperor's body suffer anymore?"
A blow?"
Zhang Chuansheng nodded, thought for a long time, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, there is no way around this matter. No one can decide this matter except the emperor. If it is suppressed or handled improperly, and if the emperor blames it, both the old minister and your highness will be punished.
, if you are implicated, Your Highness should report it to the Emperor as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Gong Zhaochang nodded cautiously, and just like that, Gong Zhaochang and Zhang Chuansheng, the chief minister of the cabinet, came to the palace where Emperor Qing was recuperating.
Qinghuang lay on the dragon bed and weakly opened his mouth: "Is Chang'er here?"
After Zhang Chuansheng saluted, he stood respectfully in front of the bed, while Gong Zhaochang came to the bed and spoke solemnly:
"Father, your dragon body has not recovered yet. I don't want to disturb your recuperation. However, this matter is too important and I really can't take charge of it."
Emperor Qing was slightly uneasy, his black eyebrows furrowed, and asked: "What is it that makes it so difficult for you to make a decision?"
Gong Zhaochang glanced at Zhang Chuansheng and said in a difficult tone: "Father, yes, it's the third brother. The third brother, he, he actually..."
"What's wrong with Yun Ao?" Upon hearing this, Qinghuang immediately opened his eyes, feeling quite nervous.
Gong Zhaochang said hesitantly: "The third brother, he, he actually established himself as emperor in Jiumen..."
"What?!" Qinghuang's eyes widened. He couldn't believe it. He grabbed Gong Zhaochang's collar and shouted, "What did you say? Tell me again."
Gong Zhaochang had no choice but to repeat: "The third brother has established himself as emperor in Jiumen."
The atmosphere became solemn for a moment, and the next moment, Qing Huang's roar suddenly broke out and resounded throughout the entire dormitory, "You are talking nonsense."
When Gong Zhaochang saw this, he was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground along with Zhang Chuansheng.
Qinghuang's red eyes glared angrily, and he gasped and cursed: "You guys, none of you are good, you all want to put Yun Ao to death, I don't believe it, I don't believe it."
The eyes of Gong Zhaochang and Zhang Chuansheng met for a second, and then Zhang Chuansheng hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the ministers and His Highness are not willing to believe it, but this matter is absolutely true and not false."
"The King of Jin established himself as emperor in Jiumen, and there were many people who supported him. Among them was General Jianwei Fei Jiang. This man was very loyal to the King of Jin. I heard that he was originally an old subordinate of the uncle of the King of Jin."
Gong Zhaochang hit the nail on the head: "Father, the third brother's uncle was framed by the second brother's uncle and died on the battlefield. What does Fei Jiang mean by seeking refuge with the King of Jin?"
Zhang Chuansheng went on to say: "Your Majesty does not know something. The King of Jin has responded to the wishes of the people. In the past six months, he has established a huge force in the Nine Gates. The border war is anxious. Now he takes advantage of this opportunity to lead the army and conquer the border in one fell swoop.
, occupying the Nine Gates and surrounding islands at the same time.”
"Then, the King of Jin used a trick to capture the family members of the city army commander, and put the officials in the city under house arrest, in order to coerce the city commander into submission and surrender."
"Moreover, they also spread the arrogant hegemony of those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me will perish, so they had no choice but to seek refuge with the King of Jin."
Gong Zhaochang continued Zhang Chuansheng's words and said: "Father, the third brother has allowed his men to kill many people in the city, and those officials who disobeyed were also killed on the spot one by one. Now, Jiumen and others are guarding the border city.
The army has been captured by the third brother..."
Hearing this, Qinghuang finally couldn't suppress the anger in his chest. He spit out a big mouthful of blood with a "pop" sound, and bright blood stains flowed down his lips. Qinghuang was furious, "You are talking nonsense, I don't believe it.
If you don’t believe it, I don’t believe a word of it…”
After speaking, he grabbed Gong Zhaochang's collar and said through gritted teeth: "Tell me, how did this news get out? Who spread it?"
Qing Huang's angry face was very close at hand, and his pair of angry tiger eyes were bloodshot, with terrifying waves rolling inside them.
When Gong Zhaochang saw that Emperor Qing was vomiting blood and getting angry at the same time, he felt that he was in a hurry. He was afraid that he would not have much time to come. He persuaded in a trembling voice: "Father, please calm down! I'd better call the imperial doctor to come over and take a look first."
Bar!"
"Tell me! How did the news of the rebellion come!!! Do you have any evidence?" Qinghuang held on to him, as if he was an injured and crazy tiger, staring with bloodshot eyes.
Keep a close eye on the invaders who covet his territory.
Qinghuang warned himself in his heart that he could no longer listen to the slander, he could not repeat the same mistakes again, and he could not hurt the relationship between father and son. Those bullshit and snake gods wished that the third child would die outside.
Although Gong Zhaochang was panic-stricken, he was not afraid. He added: "Father, you heard from me that it was the prime minister of Wuyuncheng, Mr. Sun, who pretended to surrender. After winning the trust of his third brother, he secretly transferred the plan to the emperor.
Give good letters to your dead soldiers."
"And the dead man took the opportunity to escape again. He handed the secret message to Mr. Zhang Chuansheng, so he and his subordinates were able to report the news as soon as possible."
Qinghuang listened and his breathing was extremely heavy. He threw Gong Zhaochang away and fell back on the bed weakly. His blood-red eyes slowly closed.
After a moment, he finally said: "If Lian doesn't believe it, I don't believe a word of it. Zhao Chang, listen to me. Don't discuss this matter with any minister!"
Qinghuang's eyes suddenly opened, he stood up and said: "Zhang Chuansheng, go and prepare some pen and ink for me. I want to draw up a decree to summon the King of Jin back to the capital! Lian wants to see him! I want to see Yun Ao, and I want to ask him personally.
Him." After saying that, he vomited violently and spit out another large mouthful of blood.
Zhang Chuansheng was shocked and said, "Yes, I will go now."
At this time, Emperor Qing's face was ashen, and Gong Zhaochang's eyes were deep, and he promised again and again: "Father, please calm down! You have to take care of the dragon body! It's all my fault, I will take care of it now..."
"Come here! Send the doctor to you quickly..."
Because Emperor Qing was so excited, he vomited blood and then fainted. Soon, the imperial doctors rushed over, but they were all helpless. The leader of the imperial hospital was horrified.
Qinghuang's condition was good and bad. He had been listening to Taoist priests and wizards' nonsense for a long time, and taking medicine indiscriminately in an attempt to live forever. Now, he was afraid that he was too poisoned, so he could only resign himself to his fate.
The news that Emperor Qing was unconscious spread quickly, and Concubine Xian, Concubine Yu and other concubines burst into tears. However, just as the emperor was in danger, Concubine Xian controlled the affairs of the harem, and she herself always stayed by Emperor Qing's bed.
When he was sick, he refused to allow other concubines to visit him, which made his intentions clear.
Gong Yun'ao rebelled again, Gong Zhaochang supervised the country, and Emperor Qing fell seriously ill at this time. The courtiers speculated that the palace was already in troubled times at this time.
There are many riots at the border outside, and internally various forces will attack each other and even split.
At this time, the King of Jin who was far away at the border actually proclaimed himself emperor in Jiumen when the imperial court was in turmoil. This was a grave crime of rebellion!
Seeing that the situation is becoming more and more tense, Emperor Qing is seriously ill at this time, and a storm is coming.
The next day, Emperor Qing woke up leisurely.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Concubine Xian waiting beside him, so Emperor Qing grabbed her wrist and asked: "Where is Zhang Chuansheng? Has he issued an oral order to recall King Jin?"
Concubine Xian's eyes flashed, and she quickly said: "It has been issued, Your Majesty, don't be anxious." Then Concubine Xian stroked his chest and comforted him:
"Your Majesty, the dragon body is the most important thing! Don't think too much about it. It's not good for your dragon body. This decree is issued and it will take several days to go back and forth. Could it be that you have been waiting in suspense all day long for the Jin Dynasty?
Will the king come back?"
Qinghuang's tone was firm: "My dear concubine, you don't have to say anything, I have to wait! I must wait for Yun Ao to come back!"
Emperor Qing's stubbornness made Concubine Xian's eyes flash. She hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't hold it back and said carefully: "Your Majesty, I have something I don't know whether to say or not?"
Qinghuang glanced at her, knowing what she was going to say, but he also thought that she was taking care of him in a mess during this period, and he didn't want to refute her, so he weakly said: "What do you want to say?"
Concubine Xian thought for a while and said: "The fact that King Jin proclaimed himself emperor in the Nine Gates is irrefutable! I have always felt that King Jin had a deep mind. During the witchcraft incident that year, I felt that he was not so innocent.
"
"This time, he made the same mistake again. He must have made a desperate move. He knew that returning to Beijing was very dangerous, so how could he come back? Even if he came back, wouldn't he lead troops into the city? Isn't this a rebellion?"
What Concubine Xian said was very bold. After she finished speaking anxiously, her hands were already sweating.
However, what Concubine Lingxian didn't expect was that Emperor Qing didn't react much. Instead, he raised his eyes to look at her and said in a calm tone: "Then what should I do according to Concubine's wishes?"
Concubine Xian saw that Emperor Qing was not angry, so she boldly showed weakness and said: "Your Majesty, I am just a woman, how can I understand the important affairs of the court? I just said it casually, without any other meaning."
Qinghuang glanced at her and said tentatively: "What you said is not unreasonable. This rebellious son Yun Ao has chilled my heart. I'd better kill him first and then imprison him. Anyway, I still have Zhao Chang and others."
With noble character and good filial piety, he is worthy of a great responsibility."
When Concubine Xian heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up. She did not savor the emperor's words carefully, but knelt down eagerly on the ground and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Qinghuang bent down, his eyes flashed with light, and he stared at her closely for a long time with a pair of chaotic tiger eyes...
Concubine Xian was horrified by the stares, and she didn't know where she said it wrong. Just as Concubine Xian slowly raised her head, she happened to meet his eyes that seemed to penetrate everything.
She felt guilty and panicked, lowered her head in a hurry, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, I am saying that it is his blessing that Zhao Chang is valued by the Emperor. Any decision the Emperor makes is wise."
"Haha..." Suddenly, Qing Huang looked at her and laughed.
