This sentence was like a curse, constantly repeated in the old emperor's mind. The old emperor didn't want to hear it, but he couldn't get this sentence out of his mind...
"You forced me to get to where I am today."
Qin Jiyan left, but the old emperor was still immersed in these words.
"What exactly did I force you to do? Did I punish you by kneeling at the palace gate? I admit that this move hurt your face, but you force me to the palace for such a trivial matter?"
"Jiyan, do you know that you are very disappointed in me by doing this?"
The old emperor leaned on the bedside, his eyes closed tightly, and tears fell...
Do you regret it?
Inevitable.
If he had known that Qin Jiyan was so stubborn and arrogant, he would never have let Qin Jiyan kneel at the palace gate. Yesterday... he just wanted to destroy Jiyan's majesty. He never thought about deposing his emperor.
What will be the outcome of the position of grandson?
"Am I wrong?"
"No, I'm not wrong, I won't be wrong!"
"You must have had second thoughts. What happened yesterday is just an excuse. If it weren't for what happened yesterday, there would be other things. Ji Yan, don't put the blame on me. I'm not wrong!"
The old emperor shouted angrily, and as soon as he finished speaking, he coughed violently. Seeing this, the eunuchs and maids silently stepped forward to serve the old emperor, and no one said a word of comfort.
It's not that they don't want to, it's that they can't do it.
After appeasing the old emperor, Qin Jiyan returned to the palace. He thought he could finally have a hot meal, but as soon as the meal was served, a eunuch came to inform General Feng to see him.
"Xuan." General Feng came here in the middle of the night, it must be something important.
"Old minister, I see your Majesty, long live..."
"Old general, there is no need to be polite, please rise." This is the difference between the emperor and the emperor's grandson. When Qin Jiyan was the emperor's grandson, General Feng only had to bow, but now he has to kneel down.
"Thank you, Your Highness." General Feng was not polite. He stood up neatly and said neatly: "Your Majesty, I asked to see you late at night because I have something important to report. Please step aside."
Qin Jiyan raised his hand and said, "You all go down."
His Highness's eunuchs withdrew one by one, and the guards guarding the door also took a few steps back to ensure that they could protect Qin Jiyan and not hear the conversation inside.
"Your Majesty, I have been keeping an eye on the Immortality Gate these days. Ever since Your Majesty killed their holy envoy yesterday, the Eternal Life Gate has been in constant action, and it is even more frequent tonight." Tomorrow is Qin Jiyan's coronation ceremony, the Eternal Life Gate.
At this time, there are frequent movements, and you don't need to think about what they are for.
"Have they had contact with anyone in the palace?" Qin Jiyan was not worried about the Immortality Sect taking action. He was worried that the old emperor would come into contact with the Eternal Life Sect in order to pull him down.
"The old minister is incompetent and has found no evidence of their dealings with people in the palace." General Feng did not dare to say that there was or was not. Just because he did not find it does not mean that there was not.
"Keep a close eye on me. Where is my Uncle Zhou Wang? Are there any actions by the people he left behind in the capital?" The old emperor drove King Zhou to a remote place, but this does not mean that King Zhou's power is clear.
King Zhou also has a group of people lurking in the capital.
"There is no movement among King Zhou's people for the time being. Don't worry, Your Majesty. The old minister has been keeping an eye on them. Once they make any move, they will be captured." General Feng can guarantee this, and Qin Jiyan also believes it, but...
"I'm afraid that the people he left in the city are not just the ones we know." King Zhou left as a king, and he didn't suffer any loss when he left. The people he secretly raised are also unknown.
"My veteran has deployed 30,000 soldiers and horses outside the city. Once there is any disturbance in the city, the army will immediately enter the city." If necessary, force can be used to suppress it.
In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are just paper tigers. Qin Jiyan succeeded to the throne justifiably. Even if he mobilized an army to suppress him, no one would say anything wrong.
"I'm worried... that the emperor will take action." He was honest with everyone, but once the old emperor appeared and said something in front of others, he would no longer be honest.
General Feng also thought of this, narrowed his eyes, and suggested: "If your Majesty is worried, you can seal the old man into the palace to accompany the Supreme Emperor. He has a very good relationship with the Supreme Emperor. If sealing the old master is not enough, you can also seal the old master.
Mr. Gu called. Although the Gu family has lost their title, Mr. Gu once saved the Supreme Emperor's life. With the two of them talking to the Supreme Emperor, the Supreme Emperor would not think too much about it. "The point is that with the old man Feng here, people who are not afraid of the old emperor will not be afraid of him.
Take him away.
Mr. Feng is an old fox, and ordinary people are really no match for him.
"The two old men are a bit older." Qin Jiyan also had the same intention, but Mr. Feng was old after all. If something happened in the palace, he would not be able to explain it to the Feng family.
"If Your Majesty is worried, you can let the children of the two families accompany you into the palace." General Feng was unwilling to push Mr. Feng into the palace.
Seeing General Feng like this, Qin Jiyan wanted to ask: Mr. Feng, has Mr. Feng offended you recently? Why do you insist on dragging Mr. Feng in who is staying out of the matter?
After thinking about it, Qin Jiyan would not ask this question. General Feng's move was very much in line with his wishes. It would be beneficial and harmless to him to bring the entire Feng family in.
But, taking care of your own children?
Forget it for Feng Sijin, he has to go to the Ancestral Temple tomorrow and let Qiancheng enter the palace. He will feel more at ease with Qiancheng here.
General Feng's proposal was very good, and Qin Jiyan was very satisfied. That night, he sent someone to pass on the emperor's words, and asked Old Master Feng and Old Mrs. Gu to go to the palace to accompany the Supreme Emperor tomorrow morning. At the same time, he hinted to Old Mrs. Gu to bring Gu Qiancheng with him.
As for Gu Qiancheng?
Qin Jiyan asked the secret guard to tell her that she should go to the Gu family tomorrow morning and go into the palace with Mr. Gu to accompany the Supreme Emperor. After entering the palace by then, there would be no need to go out, lest it be inconvenient for him to see people.
Mr. Feng and Mr. Gu are both human beings. Although Qin Jiyan didn't say it, they all knew that Qin Jiyan asked them to watch the Supreme Emperor and not let him cause trouble in the enthronement ceremony.
After receiving the verbal explanation, Mr. Feng sighed softly, "It's not an easy journey for your Majesty." Not only did he have to guard against his uncles and cousins, but he also had to guard against the Supreme Emperor who single-handedly raised him.
Blood relatives have ended up in this situation. What's the point of sitting on the throne?
Mr. Gu is not so emotional. The Gu family is now in decline. Entering the palace at this time is a great opportunity for Mr. Gu.
"Now I just hope that the Holy Emperor can take care of our Gu family for the sake of Qiancheng." If there was a chance to enter the palace before yesterday, Mr. Gu might have thought of relying on the old emperor to help him fight back, and then persuaded him
The emperor appointed the fifth prince as his heir, but now?
The overall situation has been decided, what else can he worry about?
