After drinking His Highness King Zhao's herbal tea, General Xiong's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself: 'What does this mean? Do you think I'm late?'
Seeing General Xiong's abnormality, King Zhao frowned slightly and immediately relaxed: "General Xiong came to see me, why did he come to see me?"
General Xiong hurriedly suppressed the panic in his heart and said carefully: "Your Majesty, I am here to ask for help."
"Please help me, is it possible that the general is also being targeted by Dongchang?" King Zhao looked at General Xiong with amusement.
"Hey, I have been on the left guard of Jinwu for many years, and I often guard the palace gates. It is inevitable that I will become brothers with the eunuchs who guard the gates, and I also get some gifts during the New Year." General Xiong said with a bitter face: "But these are all normal human relationships, and I have never had any
I have no intention of colluding with them, and I have never done anything illegal, but those gangs of eunuchs are biting and biting me randomly, so I must be in the same group as them." He said with a look of panic on his face: "These two
Oh my God, an acquaintance in the East Factory let me know that the superiors are preparing to take me to prison for interrogation! Your lord, please save me, I am unjustly accused!"
"If there is really no problem with General Xiong, I think it is just a routine matter in Dongchang. Let's make it clear to them and don't take it too seriously." King Zhao said calmly and calmly.
"Your Majesty, is that a place for reasoning?" General Xiong said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, I beg you, please help me this time!"
"Well..." King Zhao looked confused: "General Xiong thinks too highly of Xiao Wang. When handling cases in Dongchang, he always obeys his superiors. Even if I speak for you despite the reputation of the feudal king interfering in politics, I'm afraid it won't be easy.
ah."
"Your Majesty..." General Xiong seemed to be honest and reckless, but in fact he was very sophisticated. How could he not know what kind of medicine King Zhao was selling in his gourd? He knelt down in front of him, his nose dripping with tears and he said: "As long as Your Majesty can save me,
With this one, I will be able to follow the direction of the prince from now on, and will come and go through fire and rain without ever frowning!"
"Hey!" King Zhao said with helplessness on his face: "General Xiong, aren't you making things difficult for me? It's not a matter of refusing to save me, nor is it an act of overstepping your authority and interfering in politics..."
"Your Majesty, the last general is incompetent, but there are still some brothers in the Shangzhi Guards who are willing to make peace with the Prince and let them serve him together!" General Xiong knew that King Zhao would not let go unless he came up with something useful.
"Who do you think I am? Am I the kind of ambitious person?" King Zhao said falsely, and then said as if he had made a lot of determination: "Okay, I will try my best to make peace for you.
, I can’t guarantee whether it will work or not.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!" General Xiong hurriedly kowtowed.
"Get up, go back and wait patiently. Whether you become the king or not, I will ask this young master to give you a message." King Zhao tilted his head slightly, letting Wei Wuque enter General Xiong's sight.
"I'm waiting for good news, waiting for good news." General Xiong knew that he no longer had to worry about Dongchang. But when the person behind King Zhao appeared in front of him, he would definitely have big troubles waiting for him.
I can’t care about that much, I can only focus on the present!
After General Xiong withdrew after thanking him for his kindness, King Zhao glanced coldly at the young eunuch who had a guilty look on his face, and said calmly: "Drag him out and beat him to death with sticks."
"Ah! Your Majesty, please forgive me..." The little eunuch knew that King Zhao had understood his little trick from General Xiong's behavior. But because he had always been favored, he didn't worry too much, thinking that at most he would be scolded, but he didn't know that he would be
Execution?! He quickly screamed and knelt down, crying and begging King Zhao for mercy.
King Zhao showed no reaction and allowed the guards to drag the young eunuch out and kill him with a cane.
When the screams in the flower hall suddenly stopped, King Zhao said coldly: "Anyone who relies on favors and slacks off, take this as an example!"
Everyone in the palace inside and outside the flower hall was frightened.
"Next one." Wei Wuque said calmly...
In Xiyuan, the cabinet room was filled with gloom and gloom.
Although the chaos inside and outside the palace has not affected the cabinet for the time being, the three bachelors were still overwhelmed by the situation.
"Hey!" Jin Youzi said with a depressed face: "If I had known this, it would be better to keep the royal concubine, than now they cover the sky with one hand and unscrupulously fight against the different powers!"
Although the two Scholars Yang did not sigh, the bitterness on their faces revealed their helplessness and despair at the moment...
When the three bachelors used murder to prevent Wang Guifei from claiming the throne, they expected that Zhao Yingtu would die and join forces with King Zhao. However, under the circumstances at that time, they had no choice but to do this, otherwise the king would be left alone.
The imperial concubine became the queen, and the prince would be completely passive, with very serious consequences. Secondly, the three of them did not expect that King Zhao would be so cruel. First, he used the bad news to cause the emperor to suffer another stroke and fall into a coma. Then he let Dongchang set off a prison and compiled a
A terrifying net has been spread over the capital, making everyone, both civil and military, in danger. If they don't take refuge with King Zhao, they will be thrown into prison, where they will die without a chance of survival!
"Now that the capital is under the control of King Zhao, we have no military power, so what can we do?" Yang Rong said with a bitter face: "When King Zhao completes his arrangements, I am afraid no one will be able to stop him!"
Yang Shiqi had a gloomy face and tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously, as if he was thinking about something.
"We can't sit still and wait for death!" Jin Youzi stood up suddenly and said in a deep voice: "I want to go to the palace again!"
"It's useless. The emperor is unconscious. What's the point of going?" Yang Rong shook his head and sighed. He finally felt how insignificant a civil servant without military power was in this chaos.
"Go! While King Zhao and Zhao Ying are not in the palace, try to get a chance to survive!" Yang Shiqi suddenly raised his head and stood up holding on to the table, "I'll go with you."
"What are you going to do?" Yang Rong looked at Yang Shiqi in confusion.
"Even if the emperor is not awake, there is still Zheng He!" Yang Shiqi said: "I don't believe that the majestic Three Treasures eunuch can turn a blind eye to the current situation!"
After saying that, Yang Shiqi and Jin Youzi went out together. Yang Rong stamped his feet and followed.
The three bachelors came to the door of the palace, and as expected, the guards stopped them. Yang Shiqi said coldly: "Get out of the way, I have urgent military information and need to report to the emperor!"
"No, there is a decree from above that no one is allowed to enter the palace!" the guard said with a straight face.
"Whose order are you following?" Jin Youzi shouted sharply.
"This... belongs to King Zhao." The guard retreated, feeling guilty.
"His Royal Highness, King Zhao, holds any position in the palace. How can he issue orders to you?!" Although Yang Rong disapproved of the two men's reckless actions, he still stood with them when it came to taking action.
"This..." The guard was speechless for a moment. King Zhao had no position in the palace at all, just because he was the only son of the emperor. But obviously, this could not be used as an excuse.
"Why should three academicians suffer for a small bodyguard?" Eunuch Yang heard the commotion and came out, standing in front of the three of them with a smile on his face.
"Eunuch Yang, we have an urgent military situation and need to present it to the emperor!" Yang Shiqi said solemnly: "According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, anyone who blocks it will commit rebellion!"
"This..." Without the support of King Zhao in the palace, Eunuch Yang finally lacked confidence and did not have the guts to directly chase people away, so he had to put on a helpless expression and said: "It's not that our family intends to stop it, it's actually the emperor... not yet
Wake up, it's useless for you to go in."
"Since that day, we haven't seen the emperor for nearly two months!" Jin Youzi said solemnly: "How do you know whether what you said is true or false?"
"If you don't believe me, just go in and have a look!" Eunuch Yang stamped his feet and got out of the way. Anyway, the emperor was lying on the bed like a dead man. A quick look was indispensable, and it would save him a lot of trouble.
"It should have been like this!" Yang Shiqi immediately stepped into the palace. As expected, Eunuch Yang got out of the way, and the two bachelors hurriedly followed in...
Entering the inner hall, the three academicians saw the skinny emperor lying motionless on the dragon bed, his face was ashen, and he was as angry as a thread!
Tears welled up in the eyes of the three of them. They staggered a few steps and knelt down in front of the dragon bed. They cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
However, no matter how they called, Zhu Di had no response. Eunuch Yang followed and said with a smile: "What are we talking about? Three bachelors, please go out."
Yang Shiqi ignored Eunuch Yang, straightened up, placed the military newspaper in his hand on the emperor's table, looked at Zheng He who was standing beside the emperor's bed and said, "Eunuch Zheng, please take a step to speak."
Zheng He hesitated and nodded. He had been silent these days, and his voice became a little clumsy as he said, "Bachelor, please speak."
"Please exclude irrelevant people." Yang Shiqi stood up and said calmly.
"Xueshi Yang, what do you want to do?!" Eunuch Yang realized at this moment that Yang Shiqi was probably building a plank road to seduce Chen Cang secretly, and his real target was Zheng He!
"Eunuch Yang, please go out for a moment." Zheng He was surprisingly cooperative with Yang Shiqi.
"This..." Eunuch Yang was dumbfounded. If you don't obey the order, Zheng He is *********, his immediate superior. Just obey the order. King Zhao gave another death order...
"Get out!" Zheng He shouted lowly. Seeing that he was about to have a seizure, Eunuch Yang had no choice but to lower his head and sneak out in despair. He comforted himself in his heart and said: 'Your Majesty only asked me to look after the emperor myself, but he didn't ask Zheng He to look after him as well...
…'
After Eunuch Yang left, Zheng He looked at the three academicians and said, "What do you want?"
"Didn't my father-in-law ask questions knowingly?" Yang Shiqi said solemnly: "You have always been by the emperor's side, don't you know that the emperor has been completely usurped?!"
"Hey..." A deep look of worry appeared on Zheng He's vicissitudes of life. He nodded and sighed: "Our family also knows that someone is taking advantage of the emperor's serious illness to stir up trouble, but our family
I have to stay close to the emperor, and I don’t have the ability to control much."
"No!" Yang Shiqi whispered: "For now, only my father-in-law can save the country from hanging upside down!"
"What can our family do?" Zheng He frowned and said, "If it is an illegal activity, our family will not get involved." Although he has always been by the emperor's side, he could vaguely guess the death and murder of Wang Guifei.
The **** has something to do with it... and the three bachelors in front of them are the hidden ****.
"It will definitely be beneficial to Sheji!" Yang Shiqi said in a deep voice: "After I return, I will immediately draft an order to summon the Crown Prince and His Highness the Grand Sun back to the capital!"
