"The emperor said that if I think the time is right, I will come to the capital to find him. Now that I'm here, I didn't expect this situation." Xia Shang thought for a long time and finally said something sincere, "So you want me to
I believe the Queen can do it, but the Queen must first tell the official what is the current situation in the capital? And why has the Emperor become so weak?"
"The root cause of the emperor's illness is that he was shot with poisonous arrows during his personal expedition to the Southern Barbarians and Shu lands last year. The remaining poison has not yet been cleared away, and his health is naturally getting worse and worse. Last year, he was fine, and he could manage the affairs of the government. This year, his condition suddenly worsened, and he often fell into coma.
I'm often confused and moody. I've searched for famous doctors but can't find a cure. At the moment, I'm afraid there's no cure.
As for the situation in the capital, it is now clear. Li Xin has taken control of the court and the army is also under his control. The second prince Li Xiangyang returned to the capital a month ago, but was assassinated on the way to the capital. Fortunately, he saved his life, but he was unable to follow him.
Li Xin is fighting for supremacy. I also heard that the third prince Li Yong suffered the same fate, and his life was hanging by a thread. From this point of view, Li Xin is the instigator of the whole thing. Who else in the world would dare to fight with Li Xin now? If it weren't for the emperor who is now
If his life is not long, then Li Xin may not be able to bear it anymore and will kill his king and his father."
"Ah?!" Xia Shang gasped, "Is the matter so serious?"
Things once again went beyond Xia Shang's expectation. Not long after he arrived in Beijing, he found out that Li Xin was presiding over the court because of his status and lack of opportunity to inquire more about the situation in the court.
Who knew Li Xin's power had developed to such an extent?
Even...even...the second prince Li Xiangyang was also killed by him?
This is too...
This news was a shock to Xia Shang.
He had some conflicts with Li Xiangyang, and he knew that Li Xiangyang was an old and difficult character with a lot of power behind him. Xia Shang once suspected that his shadow might have been involved in the last attack on Shuiyue Villa.
In this way, even Xia Shang could not imagine how many forces behind Li Xiangyang.
But we must never have imagined that someone like Li Xiangyang would be assassinated by Li Xin on his way back to Beijing. Although it was not successful, it was definitely a powerful blow.
So how much power does this masked eldest prince control? And what a powerful enemy he is?
My scalp feels numb just thinking about it.
But I'm not particularly worried. There are rumors that Li Xin is not a good person, but I have never seen him, so I can't say that he is a bad person.
Moreover, when he originally planned to kill Lu Xun, Lu Xun once said that he wanted Xia Shang to work for the eldest prince Li Xin.
Lu Xun was the person who changed Xia Shang's life. Although he only met him two or three times, Xia Shang never forgot all the things he said and met during that time.
Xia Shang knew that Lu Xun was a proud man, but when he first talked about the eldest prince Li Xin with Xia Shang, Lu Xun respected him quite a lot.
The look in his eyes at that time couldn't be faked. It seemed that Li Xin was a clear leader in Lu Xun's heart.
Now that I think about it, I have some doubts.
Why does everyone in the world dislike Li Xin, but only Lu Xun admires Li Xin so much?
To be honest, Xia Shang also wanted to meet him.
"grown ups……"
"grown ups……"
The queen's continuous shouts interrupted Xia Shang's thoughts.
Xia Shang came back to his senses and said, "Your Majesty, please speak."
"Sir, I have already told you what you want to know, now is it time for you to tell me your plans?"
Xia Shang pondered for a moment: "To be honest, I have no plans. I came to see the emperor this time without revealing my identity. I won't go into details about the reason. I only met the emperor because the emperor had told me that I could see him after coming to Beijing.
When I met the emperor, I just wanted him to talk about the current situation in the capital. To be honest, this first building was just a rush. I have never been to the capital, and I don’t know the situation in the capital. Let alone the situation in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, as well as the capital.
The history of the Procuratorate. So, I don’t know anything now, just like a blind man trying to figure out the elephant. My plan is to reorganize the Procuratorate and gather the Twelve Divisions, so..."
"Wait a minute..." The Queen suddenly interrupted Xia Shang, with a puzzled look on her face, "What did you just say?"
Xia Shang was stunned, realizing that there was nothing wrong with what he said: "Reorganize the Metropolitan Procuratorate and gather the Twelve Divisions."
"Reorganize the Metropolitan Procuratorate! Recruit the Twelve Divisions..." The Queen couldn't help but raise her tone a bit. First she looked at Xia Shang in shock, and then she smiled helplessly.
Xia Shang didn't understand, what kind of expression was this?
The queen turned a blind eye to the doubts written on Xia Shang's face and turned her head to look at the old eunuch aside.
The old eunuch also smiled implicitly and shook his head: "Sir, if you were born in the capital and knew more about the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I'm afraid you wouldn't have said such unrealistic words."
"unrealistic?"
"The Twelve Divisions of Jingmen are a force that even the current emperor cannot completely control. The Metropolitan Procuratorate seems to belong to the imperial court, and the Twelve Divisions seem to belong to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but fundamentally speaking, the Twelve Divisions
Every department in the Jianghu is the same as every sect in the world, and it is difficult for the imperial power to control what they do. Even you, the first master, want them to serve you, it is almost impossible. Even Li Xin, who is now in the prime of life, dare not
Touching the power of the Twelve Divisions. The reason why the Twelve Divisions..."
"Wait a minute..." Xia Shang interrupted, "Father-in-law, this is my plan. And what I want to know is just some specific information about the Twelve Divisions. As for how to gather the Twelve Divisions, can it be successful... Then
It's my business."
When he talks like this, he sounds like an innocent and angry child.
There was a kind of contempt flashing in the Queen's eyes.
If he is not the one chosen by Lu Xun, the Queen may not have the patience to talk nonsense to him anymore.
Even the old eunuch frowned inadvertently.
The atmosphere seemed awkward, but also full of expectations.
Reorganize the Metropolitan Procuratorate and gather the Twelve Divisions.
Will the arrogance of youth and ignorance pay the price, or will the wisdom of strategizing achieve success?
The end result will be wonderful.
Xia Shang did not ask again. He knew that these words were indeed said at the wrong time, and they would not say anything to an empty leader who had nothing.
Xia Shang rubbed his nose: "It seems that now is not the time for us to talk, but from my perspective, your situation is more dire than mine. I still have a lot of time to prepare, but if the emperor dies, you... can
At once……"
Speaking of the emperor's health, the Queen couldn't help but feel deeply worried.
As for why the Queen is closely related to the Emperor's fate, it should be due to the Queen's status. The specific details will only be known after private inquiries. But what is certain is that the Queen has an irresolvable conflict with the eldest prince Li Xin, otherwise she would not have
He so resolutely drew a clear line with Li Xin.
Xia Shang thought for a while: "If the emperor is poisoned, I suggest you let me check it out and see if it can be resolved. As for the use of poison, I am still somewhat confident." (To be continued)
