800 cover, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away
It is definitely not a good thing to be ordered back by the emperor before the war is over while leading troops outside. General Cheng has always been carefree and informal, but at this time he did not dare to say anything and just looked at Prince Pingxi with a dull look on his face.
Prince Pingxi saw the unhappy faces of Qin Jiyan and Feng Sijin, his heart skipped a beat, and he said uneasily: "At this time, His Highness Zhao and I are returning to the capital, could it be the emperor..." Prince Pingxi did not dare to say the following words, but he said
The two of them understood the unfinished meaning...
What Prince Pingxi didn't dare to say was because he wanted to ask, "Is the Emperor dying?"
And this is what General Cheng wants to ask...
Qin Jiyan was the crown prince, and the emperor was in poor health. At this time, he urgently ordered Qin Jiyan to return to the capital. Apart from the fact that the emperor was not well and asked Qin Jiyan to rush back and succeed to the throne, Prince Pingxi could not think of any other reason.
But reality is not!
"Grandpa Huang is in good health, and his stroke has been cured. There will be no problems in three to five years." Qin Jiyan did not conceal the situation of the old emperor from Prince Pingxi and General Cheng.
Prince Pingxi and General Cheng had already boarded Qin Jiyan's boat and could not get off at all.
"The emperor's body is fine, why are you asking His Highness to go back?" General Cheng spoke out frankly. Seeing that the old emperor was about to die, there was no such taboo, so he no longer hid it and asked directly what was in his heart.
"I also want to know this question." Qin Jiyan said that if he could not answer it without General Cheng, he would not be standing here.
Prince Pingxi was more attentive than General Cheng. Hearing Qin Jiyan's words, he asked: "The emperor's illness was cured by people from Yaowang Valley?" Prince Pingxi thought that Jun Yi'an from Yaowang Valley had sold a
Give Gu Qiancheng a pill to treat stroke.
Come to think of it, they were also frantic when the emperor fell ill. The emperor's illness made the imperial doctor helpless, but that doesn't mean that Yaowang Valley couldn't do anything either.
"No, they are from the Changsheng Sect." The people from the Changsheng Sect were already active in the capital, so Qin Jiyan had no intention of hiding anything.
"Eternal Life Sect?" Prince Pingxi looked puzzled. It was obviously the first time he heard about this organization.
Qin Jiyan was not impatient at all, and simply told the story about the Immortality Gate, adding at the end: "My outing this time is related to the Immortality Gate." As for the specific connection, Qin Jiyan
But he didn't say it.
"How come we didn't know about an overseas organization that is so powerful before?" Prince Pingxi broke out in a cold sweat.
If the Eternal Life Sect is really as powerful as Qin Jiyan said, once they return to land, they will definitely be a threat to Great Qin.
"I have only heard of it in recent years. Grandpa Huang must know something about it." When Qin Jiyan said this, he closed his eyes and looked like he didn't want to talk more.
Except for General Cheng, the people present were all knowledgeable people. Seeing that Qin Jiyan didn't want to say more, they naturally stopped asking. As for General Cheng, he wanted to ask, but he didn't know what to ask.
"So, His Majesty's order to come back with me has something to do with the Immortality Gate?" Prince Pingxi looked stern, with a flash of worry in his eyes.
If it wasn't for Qin Jiyan to go back and take over the throne, then this imperial edict would be dangerous for them.
The capital may not be peaceful.
"Yeah." Qin Jiyan closed his eyes, "I didn't receive any news from this palace beforehand." I wonder if the emperor is suspicious of Jin Yiwei or something else?
If Jin Yiwei is suspected, then the leader of Jin Yiwei will be in danger.
When Feng Sijin heard this, he said solemnly: "If this is the case, then Your Highness must not return to Beijing."
Feng Sijin knew how well-informed Qin Jiyan was. No minister in the court knew about the old emperor's recovery from illness, but Qin Jiyan knew about it early. It can be seen that Qin Jiyan not only arranged for people to be around the old emperor,
, and a very considerate person.
Now Qin Jiyan said that he did not know beforehand that the old emperor sent someone to tell him to return to Beijing, which shows that there is something fishy about this matter.
Prince Pingxi nodded in agreement: "This is something unusual. It is really not appropriate for Your Highness to return to Beijing. Even if you want to return to Beijing, you will have to wait for some time."
"What the prince and Lord Feng said is what I want to say. We are at war now, and your highness is indispensable on the battlefield. Your highness, you cannot go back." Prince Pingxi and Feng Sijin were more concerned about the danger in the capital.
General Cheng is concerned about the battlefield, but the purpose is the same.
"Grandpa Huang has issued an edict, and the capital must be returned..." Qin Jiyan did not finish his words. After a brief pause, he asked Xiang Feng Sijin, "By the way, where is the imperial envoy who delivered the edict?"
Feng Sijin's eyes moved slightly, knowing what Qin Jiyan was going to do. He bowed his hands and said softly: "The official placed them in the camp in the south and sent his close followers to guard them. He will never let them come into contact with outsiders, let alone
Let them come out." In other words, as soon as people arrived in the army, they were controlled by Feng Sijin.
It was not surprising that Feng Sijin would do this. He knew that the old emperor was fine. When he heard that an imperial envoy was coming from the capital, his first reaction was that something was wrong, something was going to happen. Therefore, before Qin Jiyan came back, he
He made the decision to guard people without authorization.
Of course, Feng Sijin did all this without leaving any trace, at least it would not let the imperial envoy feel too obviously that he was being controlled.
"Well done." Qin Jiyan nodded appreciatively and asked, "How many people saw the imperial envoy entering the city?"
"Several people saw it. But no one knew why the imperial envoy came. The imperial envoy knew that His Highness was not in the camp, so he did not read out the imperial edict immediately. It was the subordinates who heard about it through indirect interference." As soon as the people arrived at the camp, Feng Sijin plotted against the imperial envoy.
Then, when the imperial envoy was not paying attention, he peeked at the imperial edict.
"Master Feng is a talented person." Qin Jiyan nodded in approval. Feng Sijin's move saved him a lot of trouble.
"Your Majesty, please turn around and announce to the officers and soldiers that the imperial envoys have been ordered by the emperor to reward the three armies." Qin Jiyan tapped the table and clarified the matter, "As for the imperial envoys who came here after hard work? They encountered Xihu's soldiers and horses on the road and escaped with a narrow escape.
We entered the camp and left that night, with nothing on us."
If it were normal times, Qin Jiyan would definitely not be able to do this, but today's situation is special.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Today is the day when the two armies are fighting. The situation is extremely chaotic. There are very few people left in the army. There are only 1,800 people left behind by the imperial envoys. It is not a big deal.
In addition, Feng Sijin reacted quickly and covered up the matter before it happened and did not let it spread. It was not difficult for Qin Jiyan to deal with it privately. With such a distance between them, the emperor just wanted to
I checked, but couldn't find anything.
"I understand what to do." Although Feng Sijin has never done this kind of thing before, he can definitely do it perfectly. However, "This time it is easy to solve, but I am afraid that the emperor will not come back to see His Highness again.
Issue an edict."
The issue of twelve urgent edicts is not unheard of in the history books. They were able to suppress one, but they could not suppress twelve.
"Let this matter be suppressed first, and I will make my own decision on the rest." Feng Sijin said that there was something wrong, but Qin Jiyan didn't want to make unnecessary assumptions before the matter was found out.
He must investigate the matter in Beijing before he can make a decision!
