Chapter 705: The shadows of the trees are sparse

Cui Jian waited for the follow-up military report in the political affairs hall, but found nothing, which made him realize the seriousness of the problem, and then thought of the Taiji Palace Gate Confinement, and could not see the Son of Heaven, only felt that his scalp was numb, and for a while he had the fear and powerlessness to return to the sky when the building was about to collapse.

"Fang Xuan, Fang Xuan, you brought out more than 100,000 main forces of the imperial court, but don't ......"

The ominous premonition was really difficult to express, and he had originally doubted how serious the military report was, but now it seems that he really can't look at it with an optimistic attitude.

No, no matter what, you have to see the emperor, otherwise such a shocking event, even if he is the prime minister, he can't bear this burden!

"Xianggong, there are nobles outside the political hall who ask to see you!"

The officials in the political hall trembled and whispered, the officials were the best at observing words and feelings, and they had long seen the clouds on Cui Lian's face, although they didn't know what was going on, but one thing was certain, what they were worried about was definitely an unprecedented trouble. If in the past, seeing Cui Lian in a bad mood, most of the officials would not come forward to touch the mold, but this time it was an exception.

"Who wants to see you?"

"Back to the prime minister, the noble man said it, you will know it at first sight!"

Cui Jian had long been in a state of confusion, and seeing that there were still people here to serve a shelf and play dumb riddles, he lost his patience and waved his hand impatiently:

"Cui is not available now, you go and tell the people outside who are asking to see you, it's not too late to come back when the big thing is over......

The assistant stopped talking, as if he had some concerns, and finally gritted his teeth and said:

"You better see it, the noble man instructed the subordinates not to reveal their identities, and the prince will know at first sight. ”

Cui Jian just wanted to blast the official out, but when the words came to his mouth, his heart moved, could it be that the person who came had something to do with tonight's accident? As soon as the thought came out, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and secretly said that the current situation is so shocking, how can he still be so late to realize?

"Bring him here!"

Receiving the prime minister's affirmative reply, the official was visibly relieved, and in a short time he saw a graceful figure appear in the flickering candlelight. Cui Jian was surprised, it was actually a woman! It's a pity that this person is already wearing a tulle cover, and he can't see his face clearly, and when he was speculating about his identity, he only heard her lower voice and said:

"The Son of Heaven vomited blood and fainted, it is not appropriate to appear in public, and the foreign court has full authority to get rid of Cui Xianggong's ...... in all matters"

Hearing this, Cui Jian felt like he had been hit hard by a hammer, his eyes were full of stars, and his head was dizzy, so that he didn't even listen to a word of what this person said later.

"How is the Son of Heaven now?"

After a long time, Cui Lian finally held back a sentence, he wanted to determine the condition of the Son of Heaven, and if it was a last resort, he had to make a decision immediately. As for the content of this decision, even Cui Jian himself subconsciously avoided it, after all, the abolition of the Son of Heaven is too important, how can he carry it on his shoulders alone?

The tulle let out a sigh softly.

"The imperial doctor is diagnosing and treating, maybe it will be fine in a moment, maybe it will be ......"

Suddenly, the woman's voice was a little choked.

At this time, Cui Lian remembered to ask about the identity of this person. However, the other party only shook his head slightly.

"Why does Cui Xianggong know my identity? Just know that I have no ill will towards Cui Xianggong!"

However, this sentence made Cui Lian's heart churn in his chest again. Is there anyone else who has ill will towards him? Who is this person?

It's no wonder that Cui Lian is sensitive, he has never taken on one side alone, and now he is suddenly under heavy burden, anxiety and tension are inevitable.

"Thanks for the reminder, Cui Mou's mouth is suddenly opened, please accept Cui Mou's ......"

Cui Jian is not a stupid person, this person can enter and leave the palace freely, and he can pass on the message on behalf of the Son of Heaven, a woman who can meet these two points can probably be counted on one hand in the Taiji Palace, or even with one finger. Who else can there be besides the eldest princess of Shou'an, who is about to get married?

But since the eldest princess of Shou'an didn't want to reveal her identity, of course Cui Jian would not rashly reveal her identity, but said sincerely:

"If there is anything that needs Cui's help, just open your mouth!"

"There is really one thing, I am going to Yongjiafang, please ask Cui Xianggong to send some people to communicate with those soldiers patrolling the city. ”

This is also a matter of course, except for the Son of Heaven himself and the generals on duty, even the emperor's relatives are difficult to walk around the streets at will during martial law, especially after dark. However, the hall also has the power to give someone the privilege of walking the streets at night.

In this way, Cui Jian was even more sure that the identity of the person in front of him was Princess Shou'an.

I saw that the woman was about to turn around and leave, but she stopped again, stretched out her tender white hand and patted her forehead gently.

"I almost forgot to remind Cui Xianggong that if Chang'an doesn't want to mess up, he must control the military power, and the guards are not allowed to leave the imperial city, and the army is forbidden to enter the imperial city. ”

This made Cui Zhuo stunned for a while, he really couldn't imagine that such a sophisticated idea came from the mouth of a young girl. Thinking of the identity of the eldest princess of Shou'an, Cui Jian couldn't help but sigh secretly, it was really not a kind of person, and he didn't enter a family.

Qin Jin's brain is very flexible, and now it seems that this eldest princess Shou'an, who is about to marry Qin Jin, is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Stunned, the veiled woman had already disappeared into the dark night in the entourage.

Thinking that tomorrow would be the day of the wedding of the eldest princess and Qin Jin, and at least half of the officials in the city were preparing for tomorrow's ceremony, it seemed that all of this would come to an abrupt end with the return of the defeat report and the vomiting of blood and the fainting of the Son of Heaven!

Cui Lian shook his head again and again, what is more important to a woman than getting married? But on the first day of her wedding, this incredible tragedy happened. It was supposed to be a good grand wedding, but it was about to run aground in an instant.

Because the Son of Heaven was still in a coma at this time, I am afraid that the various ceremonies that had been arranged would have to be put on hold indefinitely. After all, the most important thing at the moment is the body of the Son of Heaven and the situation outside Tongguan.

Cui Jian felt that Fang Xuan might not be as miserable as the defeat said in the military newspaper, and there might be room for redemption. He is only anxious and worried about one thing now, that is, as the head of the prime minister, he can't be with him when the Son of Heaven is seriously ill.

At this time, the life and death of the Son of Heaven were uncertain, and it was definitely taboo to think about the edict in private. But Cui Lian still couldn't help but speculate and judge, if this situation really happened, it must be the internal supervisor Li Fuguo who was guarding the Son of Heaven.

At that time, no matter what the true edict of the Son of Heaven was, he could declare that he would proclaim the prince of his own choice.

But there is one person who must be outside the ranks of his candidates, and that is Li Yu, the king of Guangping. Li Yu has been in the same situation as Li Fuguo in dealing with the troublesome eunuchs. Both sides hate each other to the core, so how can they work together?

Once Li Fuguo abused his power for personal gain, he would make this edict public, which was difficult to distinguish between true and false, and then it would be up to the officials and the people to believe in the prime minister of the dynasty or the eunuchs below.

The answer is very simple, the vast majority of people will not support a eunuch, and then King Guangping will be able to succeed to the crown prince and the emperor smoothly.

Although I know that many ideas have violated the taboo of the Son of Heaven, for the revival and long-term peace and stability of the Tang Dynasty, as the head of the prime minister, it is important to share some risks, right? Otherwise, if the prime minister is so good, wouldn't anyone be able to enter the political hall?

With a twist of thought, Cui Lian wrote a testament with a pen and a snake, and then carefully rolled it up and hid it in the purple gold fish bag tied around his waist.

This is a twofold preparation, in case the day is not good, take out the first step, in case the day of the child gets better and wakes up, all preparations will become meaningless. The only problem at this moment is that many people don't know about the war outside the Guan, and they don't know the current situation of the Son of Heaven, and it is this kind of asymmetry of news that may give Li Fuguo and other internal servants an opportunity.

Cui Lian is a frank gentleman, but when it comes to the country's affairs, he has to speculate about all Li Fuguo's actions with the heart of a villain. It's not that he has a strong prejudice against Li Fuguo, it's just that he has to blame.

Since the asymmetry of information is one of the key concerns, then break it, everyone knows these two news, it is equivalent to turning everything over and hanging it in front of everyone's eyes, and it will be difficult for people with a heart to take advantage of this to cause trouble!

As soon as he thought of this, Cui Jian immediately ordered the officials to draft a document explaining the urgent report outside the customs and the fainting of the Son of Heaven vomiting blood, and then distributing it to the important ministers above the fifth rank in the court to know.

……

In the main hall of the Qin Mansion in Yongjiafang, a green-robed official was talking eloquently, Qin Jin squinted his eyes, as if he was asleep and woke up, but in fact, he heard it clearly. The person in front of him was Beihai Taishou Helan Jinming, the same as Beihai Wei Fifth Qi, and Chang'an, who arrived at the same time when Li Heng succeeded to the throne.

It's just that Fifth Qi is good at financial calculations, so he was recommended by Qin Jin. As for this Helan Jinming, in addition to having a reputation of being well-known and elegant, full of scriptures, I am afraid that at this time, there will be one more one more Jianwei must report and use public weapons for private use.

Qin Jin once heard Fifth Qi inadvertently say that Beihai Taishou Helan Jinming had an old grudge with Fang Xuan, the head of the prime minister of the dynasty. If Fang Xuan was still in Chang'an, Helan Jinming would definitely be difficult to recover. Fifth Qi said a lot of good things to Helan Jinming in front of Qin Jin, but it's a pity that Qin Jin only uses people to measure the criterion, like Helan Jinming, a talented official from the Jinshi department, has an anachronistic inferiority complex and arrogance, and he often has to be cautious when using this kind of person, once he uses it wrong, it may cause a big disaster.

During the observation period, Helan Jinming took the initiative to ask for help, and explained to Qin Jin the theory and speculation that Fang Xuan would be defeated.

“…… In a word, the Kanto endgame, whether the doctor wants it or not, the doctor has to clean it up!"
