Chapter 196 Emperor Li falls asleep
The rebellion in Kyoto did not cause much commotion in Dali.
Although many civilians were killed or injured in the four major city guards, the various ministries and offices remained silent on the matter, and the news did not spread widely.
Except for the areas around Kyoto, people everywhere in Dali did not know what happened.
Of course, just because the people don't know it doesn't mean that all the forces don't know it.
The forces that should know received the news immediately, and the forces that shouldn't know also received the news quickly.
But these are not important. What is important is Kyoto and the court.
The chaos in Kyoto seemed to have little impact on the outside world, but in fact its significance was to completely tear away Dali's last fig leaf.
The fact that Lihuang is old cannot be concealed, and the time for Dali's replacement is approaching.
As the battle between the three princes escalated, the entire Kyoto was like a powder keg.
A heavy, chilling atmosphere enveloped both inside and outside the imperial city, as if there were dark clouds rolling over the entire Kyoto, making people unable to breathe.
Time passed slowly, and before I knew it, it was already September.
The early autumn breeze blew from the north, and the green Kyoto was once dyed yellow.
The sultry weather suddenly became cooler, and Qin Wei suddenly felt uncomfortable.
He has been in Shuzhou for the past two years. The four seasons in Shuzhou are not so distinct. Even in autumn, there are constant heavy rains and light rains, but autumn in Kyoto is too dry.
Among the houses.
Qin Wei stood in front of the main room, looking at the withered yellow leaves in the courtyard, lost in thought.
"Autumn is coming!"
Xiao Shunzi followed him and looked at Qin Wei in confusion.
He didn't understand why Qin Wei cared so much about Qiu.
Of course Qin Wei cares about autumn, because this autumn is the day when Emperor Li will die.
Lan Yuehou once told him about Emperor Li's remaining time, and Wang An also knew about Emperor Li's current situation, so he knew that Emperor Li's remaining time was only half a month.
Half a month!
Qin Wei's eyes were extremely deep.
"How is the war going in the north?"
Qin Wei suddenly asked.
Xiao Shunzi quickly replied: "The news came yesterday that the northern Rong people have not retreated yet, but they have no intention of attacking. The two sides are still facing off outside Yunyan City."
Since Li Xun arrived in the north, the northern Rong tribe has become completely honest. Although they have not retreated yet, they do not dare to provoke Dali in any way.
Li Xun did not fight back, but gathered his army in Yunyan City to confront the Rong army.
Qin Wei was not only concerned about the battle situation in the north, he was also considering the situation of the royal court forces around Dali.
In the battle of Nanyang City, the Sanmiao Royal Court suffered heavy losses, and at the same time shocked the Yuwu Royal Court and the Haili Royal Court. The rebellion in Kyoto foiled the conspiracy of Xiaoyao Island, Qingfeng Island and other southeastern islands, and also caused them heavy losses.
There is no time to invade Dali.
The Rong tribe in the north was blocked in Yunyan City, and all the countries in the Western Region were in disarray. Although many royal courts were still ambitious and ready to make moves, Dali's strength made them extremely fearful and they did not dare to provoke rashly.
As long as there is no major turmoil in the Dali court, the period of alternation between the new emperor and the old emperor in Dali will go through smoothly.
At present, the battle between the three princes is becoming more and more intense, with all kinds of ruthless methods being used frequently, almost all bottom lines are being thrown away.
But Qin Wei knew very well that their fight was meaningless at all, and the real right to speak was in the hands of Emperor Li.
As long as Emperor Li is willing, he can put the three princes' palaces to rest at any time.
Maybe Emperor Li had already figured everything out.
Or maybe Lihuang had arranged everything long ago.
And Qin Wei will eventually confront Emperor Li.
Emperor Li had no intention of passing the throne to him, but he was determined to win the throne. The conflict between the two was irreconcilable and inevitable.
While Qin Wei was deep in thought, Zhao Gao came from outside the door.
"Your Highness!"
Qin Wei looked at him in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Gao has been very busy recently. As the power of the snare becomes more and more powerful, Zhao Gao wants to do more and more things.
Qin Wei hasn't seen him for more than ten days.
Zhao Gao whispered: "Your Majesty is seriously ill!"
Qin Wei was slightly stunned, "What do you mean?"
Lihuang's health has always been poor, and there have been various rumors in recent days, but Qin Wei knew that this was a sign that Lihuang was exhausted.
Zhao Gao must have known this, so why did he say that His Majesty was seriously ill?
"Your Majesty has not woken up since he fell asleep last night. Eunuch Lu has called all the imperial doctors to Shengtian Palace, but he cannot find out the reason for his drowsiness."
"Eunuch Lu has just ordered the Tianwu Guards to blockade the imperial city. At the same time, he summoned the cabinet ministers and the left and right governors of the Fifth Army Commandery Mansion entered the imperial city."
Zhao Gao explained.
The pupils in Qin Wei's eyes were condensed.
wrong!
It should be half a month away, why is it so early?
"Is there something wrong in the imperial city?" he asked in a deep voice.
Zhao Gao shook his head slightly and said: "It's not clear yet."
Qin Wei frowned.
It was impossible for Lan Yuehou to lie to him. Since Lan Yuehou said it was three months, it must be three months.
The advance in time can only mean that someone has taken action against Emperor Li.
Qin Wei fell into deep thought for a while.
In fact, whether Emperor Li died earlier or not did not seem to have any impact on him.
Now that he has arranged everything, Eunuch Lu has agreed to help, Eunuch Luo also secretly controls many forces in the imperial city, and with Cao Zhengchun and Wang An, the imperial city has almost become his territory.
As long as he wants, he can enter the imperial city at any time.
Of course, the premise is that Emperor Li dies, otherwise Eunuch Lu will never allow him to enter the imperial city. This is Eunuch Lu's final bottom line, and Qin Wei is not easy to touch.
"Your Majesty can't die yet!" Zhao Gao suddenly said.
"Why?"
"The edict has not been issued yet!" Zhao Gao said.
Qin Wei patted his forehead.
Damn! He ignored the most important thing.
He only thought that he had arranged everything himself, but he neglected the most important part.
Without the edict, he would not be able to manipulate the edict, and he would not be able to legitimately inherit the throne.
"Where are Li Shizhen and Zuo Ci?" Qin Wei asked Xiao Shunzi.
Xiao Shunzi replied: "They should go to Nanping City today."
Since the turmoil in the Four Major Cities, Li Shizhen and Zuo Ci have joined in the treatment of the people. Although not as many people were infected as expected, there are still many people who have not received treatment.
So these days, Li Shizhen and Zuo Ci wandered among the four major fortresses, treating the people free of charge as traveling doctors.
"Arrange for them to enter the palace immediately." Qin Wei ordered.
The imperial doctors at the imperial hospital are all very powerful doctors, and there are many alchemists. Zuo Ci and Li Shizhen's medical skills may not necessarily be better than theirs, but Zuo Ci and Li Shizhen also have their strengths, and their cultivation is unmatched by those imperial doctors.
.
If even Zuo Ci and Li Shizhen can't do anything, then Qin Wei will have to find another way.
"In addition, arrange for people to keep an eye on the three princes' palaces."
Qin Wei said again.
Zhao Gao nodded, responded, and left.
…
Emperor Li suddenly fell into a coma, and the entire Kyoto fell into tension.
From the court to the people, everyone feels that a storm is coming.
But there are also people who are extremely happy, such as King Ning Qin Jun.
Inside Prince Ning's Mansion.
After Qin Jun got the news, he couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha, this old guy is finally going to die!"
"Haha~~"
In the gorgeous main hall, he laughed heartily.
With a bit of madness and craziness.
"Congratulations to Your Highness, Your Highness's plan was successful!"
In front of him, an old man wearing a khaki gown smiled faintly.
However, Qin Jun's laughter stopped abruptly, and the wild smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a gentle and elegant smile.
"No, this is not my king's plan, this is just a conspiracy of thieves!"
"We can't keep that woman any longer!"
Qin Jun said.
The old man Huangshan was stunned for a while and asked: "Didn't His Highness say that she is very useful?"
"Yes, she is of great use, but she is of no use now. Keeping her is just a hidden danger." Qin Jun said with a smile.
The old man Huangshan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "I will make arrangements now."
"Remember, you must deal with it thoroughly. I don't want to hear anything about her again." Qin Jun said with a smile.
His clear eyes seemed to be filled with playful emotions, and the feeling was like a kind of bad taste.
The old man Huangshan thought for a while and then asked: "What about other things?"
Qin Jun narrowed his eyes slightly, and the smile on his face slowly dissipated.
"Don't worry, I have already prepared the preparations that need to be made!"
"Go for it!"
The old man Huangshan had no choice but to bow and retreat.
…
Prince Ping's Mansion.
Qin Changping sat in the study with a gloomy look.
He had received the news that Emperor Li was asleep, but he didn't know what it meant.
The last time, Emperor Li fainted in the morning, thinking that a chaos was coming, but nearly half a year later, Emperor Li was still there.
Emperor Li's health has been poor during this period, but as long as he survives, Qin Changping will not dare to act.
He could fight to the death with Qin Chang'an and Qin Jun, but he did not dare to have any disloyal thoughts towards the imperial city.
"Your Highness, something is wrong!"
Wu Bin stood in front of him and said solemnly.
"What's wrong?" Qin Changping asked in surprise.
Wu Bin pondered for a moment and said, "I'm a little confused!"
At this time, he felt that a lot of things were wrong, but he couldn't explain exactly what was wrong.
Qin Changping did not blame him, but frowned and fell into deep thought.
Not only Wu Bin felt something was wrong, but he also felt something was wrong.
Lihuang suddenly fell asleep. Although it was a bit sudden, it was still being cleaned up. After all, given Lihuang's current physical condition, even if he died suddenly, it was normal.
But he always felt something was abnormal.
"I thought of it!"
Suddenly Wu Bin exclaimed, "Your Majesty has not yet issued the edict."
"Edict!"
"Yes! Your Majesty has promised that he will pass on the throne through a secret decree. But now that His Majesty has fallen into a coma, he has not yet issued a posthumous edict."
"Isn't it normal that the incident happened suddenly and His Majesty didn't have time?" Qin Changping said in confusion.
"No, no, no! With your Majesty's character, how could he not arrange it in advance? If he didn't have an accurate understanding of his body, he would never have delayed it until now," Wu Bin said.
"What do you mean?" Qin Changping asked.
Wu Bin's eyes flashed, "This is a situation that His Majesty did not expect."
“Unexpected circumstances!”
Qin Changping's expression moved slightly, and he seemed to understand Wu Bin's thoughts.
Who is Lihuang?
A being whose mind is so deep that it is unimaginable.
He would prepare everything in advance for anything he did, but now he fell into a coma without leaving any edict.
Without the edict, Dali would inevitably fall into chaos.
At that time, the battle between the three royal palaces will escalate and even split.
This is a situation that Emperor Li absolutely does not want to see.
So it stands to reason that Lihuang must prepare in advance, but he has not prepared in advance now, which can only mean that this is an unexpected situation.
"Someone did it!" Qin Changping said in a cold voice.
"That's right! Someone must have done something to His Majesty!" Wu Bin agreed.
Qin Changping's eyes became cold, "Qin Gong, Qin Changan?"
This time Wu Bin didn't answer.
Who dares to touch Emperor Li?
He doesn't know.
There is no way to guess.
"Your Majesty, we must act as soon as possible."
Qin Changping's face was gloomy and uncertain.
Act ASAP!
That means there will be a big fight!
But what if they guess wrong?
What if Emperor Li wakes up again?
He hesitated.
"Your Majesty, we can't wait any longer. If you continue to wait, you will just sit back and wait for death!" Wu Bin said.
Qin Changping took a deep breath and said: "Prepare the carriage, I am leaving the city!"
