Hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Niu Jinda suddenly felt a chill on his spine, widened his eyes and said in surprise: "The Commander-in-Chief meant... Could it be that His Majesty is pretending to be ill again?"
Previously, His Majesty fell off his horse and was injured outside Pingrang City, so he simply faked his death and manipulated the entire empire at the palm of his hand. Otherwise, the Guanlongmen clan would raise their troops to remonstrate with troops? Why should the prince and the entire East Palace face life and death? Why should the entire Guanzhong be in the flames of war?
Is it a mess underneath?
There are many speculations about His Majesty's fake death. The most recognized one is that His Majesty did not want to issue an edict to depose the Crown Prince himself, which made it difficult for the Crown Prince to die a good death. Instead, he used the help of the Guanlong clan to achieve this goal, and then led the Eastern Expedition.
The army returned to Beijing with great force, sweeping the world with thunderous force and annihilating the rebels. This not only achieved the goal of easy storage, but also preserved the relationship between father and son, and also eliminated the Guanlong clan that had been entrenched in the court for many years.
One arrow kills three...
It's just that the power of the East Palace is far beyond His Majesty Li Er's expectation. The Guanlong clan exhausted all their strength and failed to completely conquer Tai Chi. Instead, the Sixth Army of the East Palace resisted the initial fierce offensive, and then under the command of Fang Jun.
He launched a counter-attack and completely defeated him.
In this way, not only did Yi Chu's purpose completely fail, but it also made the East Palace become more powerful after the war, vaguely threatening the throne...
Could it be that Your Majesty is addicted to this trick and wants to do it again?
Cheng Yaojin was speechless, raised his foot and kicked Niu Jinda back in fright, and then cursed: "Are you a pig? His Majesty was in the army before, with loyal soldiers on both sides, so he was able to conceal the truth. Now,
This Taiji Palace is simply a broken ship with leaks everywhere. Your Majesty pretended to be ill one moment, but believe it or not, the next moment it will be known to the whole world?"
The Guanlong clan failed in their mutiny and were expelled from the court, completely overthrowing the old central power structure of the empire. The new structure has not yet been completed, and the entire center is almost in a state of collapse. Even with the courage and skill of His Majesty Li Er, it will be difficult to rebuild it for a moment.
master.
This means that once something happens in the center, it will spread immediately and cannot be blocked...
Niu Jinda scratched his head and said with a grimace: "For such disturbing things, I will think about them one by one. The commander-in-chief can make up his mind. Whatever you say will be whatever you say."
After working together for so many years, he knew very well that Cheng Yaojin's rugged and rogue appearance concealed an exquisite and exquisite mind. Ten of himself could not play with Cheng Yaojin, so he simply did not want to worry about it so much and left it all to Cheng Yaojin.
alright.
Cheng Yaojin summoned his own soldiers and ordered: "Pass this order, all ministries will strictly guard all the streets and alleys, and at the same time take over the defense of the city gates. Those who enter the city will be strictly interrogated, and no one will be allowed to leave the city. But remember, you are not allowed to interact with each other without authorization.
If there is a conflict between the two parties, violators will be severely punished without mercy!"
"promise!"
After receiving the order, the soldiers turned around and retreated, conveying the general order to their colleagues, and then more than ten people rode to various places.
*****
Midnight, drizzle.
In the Shujing Hall, there is a lamp like a bean, and the orange halo dances slightly in the palace, flowing on the faces of the two beauties lying side by side on the bed. One has picturesque features and natural beauty, and the other is delicate and charming, unparalleled in beauty.
Princess Changle lay quietly, covered with a thin quilt, with her hands folded on her lower abdomen. It was obvious that her sleeping posture was very regular, but she did not fall asleep at the moment. She was looking at the beams in a slightly trance, and her beautiful eyebrows were tightly knitted together.
.
My father suddenly fainted again. There was no need to pay attention to the mysterious words of the imperial doctor. Anyone with a little knowledge of medical knowledge knew that the situation was not good, and it was probably more serious than bad...
Princess Jinyang leaned sideways, with her arms bent to rest on one palm, and one leg bent up to rest on her sister. Because of this posture, her nightgown was lifted up, revealing a section of pink and slender calves, as beautiful as jade.
Restlessly rubbing against my sister...
After a while, Princess Changle suddenly turned her head, glared at her sister who was right next to her, and said displeasedly: "Aren't you hot when we are so close? Take your feet away from me and turn around and go to sleep."
She has rarely been so impatient, especially when facing her biological sister.
But the emperor's father is dying from illness, and the court is even more tense over the ownership of the throne. A huge battle for the right to inherit the throne is almost inevitable, and these women will inevitably be involved... Naturally, they are in a bad mood.
I can't sleep for a long time, but Princess Jinyang is still not honest.
Jinyang was naturally not afraid of her being mean. Hearing this, instead of moving away, he moved even closer, stretched out a snow-white arm like lotus root and wrapped it around his sister's slender waist through the thin quilt, and placed her petite head on it.
In the crook of my sister's shoulder, the voice was a little dull: "Do you think... will something happen to my father?"
Princess Changle remained silent, stretching out an arm that bullied Shuang Saixue, and hugged her sister to her side.
She didn't answer, but there was no need to answer this question. The reason why my sister asked this was just because she was worried...
The two sisters lay hugging each other, looking secretly sad.
The drizzle was gurgling outside the window, and the candle wick made a soft beeping sound from time to time. After a long time, the soft voice of Princess Jinyang sounded faintly again: "Sister, tell me... will the prince brother and the child slave brother really fight?
field?"
Hearing this, Princess Changle almost became depressed.
This damn girl used to keep everything in her mind, so why would she pick out something disturbing today?
Because her sister's slender jade leg was resting on her body, Princess Changle easily raised her hand and patted her buttocks. While marveling that the little girl had grown to be so soft and elastic, she scolded:
"Do you still want me to sleep? That is a matter between them men. It has nothing to do with us and we have nothing to do with it."
The sensitive part was hit, and Jin Yang felt a little pain. He groaned, twisted his body a few times, found a more comfortable position, smelled the fragrance emanating from his sister's neck, and murmured: "They
He deserves to be beaten to death, but if my brother-in-law is implicated, I'm afraid he will be in a bad situation..."
Although she was ignorant of political affairs, she also knew that once her father died, there would be disputes over the ownership of the throne, and a war would be inevitable.
Just the throne, can it really make the brothers who have loved each other since childhood turn against each other, and even go so far as to exterminate each other's entire family?
Although his father did the same thing back then, after all, at that time, Prince Yin was afraid that his father's achievements were too great and his power was too powerful. In order to stabilize the throne, he had to kill him. If his father didn't want to sit back and wait for death, he could only resist to the death...
If the father was still alive, it would be fine to give the throne to Zhinu, but now the prince is still the elder brother of the prince. When he becomes the emperor, he will not do anything to Zhinu, so why does Zhinu's brother have to sit in that position?
"Silly girl……"
Princess Changle sighed quietly, but there was no way to comfort her.
Today, the ownership of the throne is no longer as simple as grabbing it if you want to grab it, or retreating if you don't want to grab it. Whether it is the East Palace or the Jin Palace, both sides are attached to countless civil servants and generals, wealthy merchants, and aristocratic families. Their interests are entangled and intertwined.
Whichever party wins, the other party will be regarded as a serious threat and will be cut off resolutely.
One step forward leads to life, one step back leads to death.
At this time, even if the prince or the king of Jin feels regret and wants to withdraw from the battle for the throne, he may have no choice but to do so...
However, she still gave a stern warning: "You are not young anymore. You can't always talk about your brother-in-law. What if people hear it and misunderstand it? When this matter is over, quickly find a good family to marry. Don't think about it."
Those that are available and those that are not.”
As a compatriot, how could she not realize that this younger sister already had a crush on Fang Jun and had a soft spot for her?
She believed that Fang Jun was not like those anxious and lustful people who would covet the young Sizi, but this girl always had an idea. If she made up her mind and deliberately seduced him, how could Fang Jun do it?
Escape? No matter how upright a man is, he will inevitably have some hobbies that disregard human ethics, such as treating himself as his sister-in-law, and another example as Sizi, his sister-in-law... When the time comes that he cannot withstand the temptation of Sizi and the rice has become a meal, that is simply...
The shame of the Li Tang royal family.
After all, she is a divorced woman, and no matter how beautiful she is, she is nothing more than a spent flower or a willow, but Sizi is a pure and spotless royal princess. Once she messes around with outsiders, I am afraid that the entire royal family will be shocked.
A shock...
Jinyang twisted her delicate body a few more times and arched her little head, but said nothing.
Princess Changle could only sigh. This girl looked delicate but actually had a very upright idea. She could not be persuaded by others. What’s more, she had an affair with Fang Jun, so what qualifications did she have to persuade others...
Suddenly there was a burst of chaotic footsteps outside the window. The two sisters were startled and listened attentively.
Not long after, a maid came to the door and said quickly: "Your Highness, there has just been news from Wude Palace that His Majesty is seriously ill. Almost all the imperial doctors have rushed there. Manager Wang has sent someone to inform him that he is seriously ill."
Stay in the palace and do not move around the palace unless necessary."
The two sisters were not sleepy at all, so they quickly sat up with their clothes on their backs and came to the window to look at the flickering lamps and shadows outside, and the chaos in the drizzle.
…
Although there are only a handful of imperial doctors in the palace who are qualified to diagnose and treat His Majesty Li Er's condition, almost all of them have arrived outside Wude Palace at this moment. Those who are qualified to enter the palace rush to His Majesty's palace for consultation, while those who are not qualified stay outside and stand outside.
They were whispering under the rain corridor, looking at the murderous guards with helmets and armor around the palace, each of the imperial doctors looked solemn and worried.
The death of a king is a top priority for the entire world, which means the change of throne and the recasting of power.
For imperial doctors, it is even more like a disaster of life and death. Countless imperial doctors are often responsible for the king's illness, and are even implicated by innocent people. As a result, their heads are missing, and their families suffer...
The current situation is even more so. If His Majesty dies, an imperial doctor will be responsible for this and die. This is not bad. The worst thing is that the crown prince and the King of Jin are competing for the throne. In the end, no matter who wins or loses, they will definitely occupy a position.
With great righteousness, it is easy to attribute His Majesty's death to a certain reason in order to achieve the goal of eliminating dissidents.
In this way, it is easy for a large number of imperial doctors to be involved, not to mention that the reason why His Majesty is seriously ill is an overdose of mercury. Strictly speaking, this is the imperial doctor's dereliction of duty...
A group of imperial doctors stood shivering in the rain corridor under the rainy night, waiting for the verdict of their fate.
In the Hall of Wude, the atmosphere was even more tense and solemn.
