First used the news of the current emperor's death as bait to induce King Ruyang and Wei Mingchen to make a desperate bet and throw all the hole cards.

Immediately afterwards, he used the queen and the crown prince as bait to lure Concubine Zheng and Wei Mingchen into the palace. Just when he thought he was winning, he dealt a fatal blow.

Jiang Chen closed his eyes and laughed wildly.

"It's me who loses. Unexpectedly, our father and son two generations can't count you as you, and they are defeated by the same hand. His eyes widened suddenly, and he asked, "Then Wei Ming rebelled, and you also knew about it in advance?"

Wu Zhengxiang shook his head and said, "Wei Ming's move is indeed beyond our expectations. ”

"Finally, there is something you didn't expect. He let out a long breath.

"However, before that, the emperor had already sent envoys to arrive at the armies with military talismans in advance, and kept a close eye on the movements of the capital. ”

Wu Zhengxiang said with a smile: "Wei Ming's rebellion is such a big thing, all the Qincha should have already taken out the Holy Decree Talisman. Count the days, at most tomorrow reinforcements will arrive. ”

This is really a last resort!

Although Emperor Qinglong did not calculate Wei Ming's rebellion in advance, he made a move in advance, so he was not in a hurry at this time.

Wei Mingchen was suddenly hit in the chest by a heavy hammer, and a mouthful of blood spurted out with a "poof". His expression suddenly stopped, and he could no longer find any of his past demeanor.

Completely defeated him, Emperor Qinglong was in a very happy mood.

This feeling, this joy of victory, has not been seen for a long time. If you think about it, it was the day he successfully ascended the throne ten years ago that he had such extreme joy.

This sense of conquest is the bliss of the world.

"Take it down and put it in prison. After the king of Ruyang was caught, he asked and beheaded together. Emperor Qinglong commanded.

The prince watched from him to the end.

Last night, when he was in despair, he was quietly rescued by the shadow guard, and then took the antidote with Empress Cao. After a short rest, he came to the Xuanzheng Hall to see his father, who he thought had died.

At that time, the shock in his heart was no less than that of Wei Mingchen.

He was also more worried than Wei Mingchen, worried that during the period of his father's fake death, his performance would not be satisfactory to him.

Fortunately, Emperor Qinglong encouraged him to stay in danger, so that he slowly stabilized his mind.

But after watching the big show of wits and courage in front of him, his palms were full of sweat.

My father was sick and weak, and he laid such a big net. As the prince of the country who watches the government every day and handles various government affairs, he is not even aware of it at all.

Is there such a big gap between himself and his father?

In this pinnacle duel with a high IQ, he still didn't understand what he didn't understand. And Wu Zhengxiang was able to cooperate with his father so tacitly.

Moreover, in Wu Zhengxiang's heart, there is no loyalty to him at all. Seeing that Concubine Zheng attacked them, she didn't mean to help at all. had to wait until Wei Mingchen was in the hub to rescue them.

Could it be that he didn't think about it, what if Wei Mingchen wanted to kill him and his mother in advance to vent his anger?

Wu Zhengxiang is wise and scheming, and has no reverence for him. Such a person made the prince's thoughts about him change from jealousy to someone who must be eliminated.

Emperor Qinglong coughed violently, pulling the prince back from his distant thoughts.

Empress Cao had already come to the emperor's side and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, how do you feel?"

Emperor Qinglong smiled while coughing, and beckoned Su Liangzhi to come forward.

Su Liangzhi held a silver needle in his hand and slowly twisted it into the two acupuncture points on his back to stabilize his cough.

"Hua Ying, I'm sorry for you in this life. In the next life, I will give it back to you. "At this time, Emperor Qinglong no longer calls himself me, but as the husband of Empress Cao.

Empress Cao looked at Su Liangzhi with awe-inspiring eyes, and asked sharply, "Your Majesty's condition, what is the matter?"

Su Liangzhi was bitter in his mouth, and said: "Queen Mother, the emperor has run out of oil. Taking the medicine of suspended animation just suppressed the disease, and when I woke up this morning, this is the last life expectancy. ”

He was not like other imperial doctors, who were repeatedly taboo about the emperor's sick leave. The identity of the colt and the gold medal for avoiding death made him dare to speak out.

These words made it very clear that Emperor Qinglong would not survive today.

Empress Cao let out a sad cry and held Emperor Qinglong's hand tightly, and all kinds of past moments came to her heart. The man in front of him may have never loved her at all, but he is closely entangled with her fate.

Her tears flowed silently.

"Hua Yingdon't cry, people will eventually die. And he defeated the last great enemy, and from then on, he died well.

Emperor Qinglong comfortingly stroked his shoulder, raised his head, and restored the dignity of the emperor.

"Passing on the decree, the book ordered Zhu Zihou, Fan Hanlin, and the inner servant to meet immediately. ”

Zhu Zihou was the prime minister of the dynasty, and he was also in charge of the largest authority among the civil ministers, Zhongshu Province. At this time, Emperor Qinglong did not say the prime minister, but specifically called him Zhongshu Ling.

Fan Hanlin is a bachelor of Hanlin College. The grade is not high, and those who enter Hanlin are all talented and well-educated. He walked before the royal palace and was responsible for drafting the decrees.

The inner attendant is the eunuch in charge of the inner attendant, who is in charge of conveying the holy decree.

Emperor Qinglong's most trusted confidant Wu Guangqi also has a position as the eunuch of the seal.

His life has come to an end, and these four important people gathered in the Xuanzheng Hall for only one purpose: to draft a will.

Seeing this situation, Wu Zhengxiang wanted to give a salute and retire.

Emperor Qinglong has not many people left, and after the ministers arrive, the emperor and his family will have no chance to speak. Wu Zhengxiang wanted to leave this time for their family.

Emperor Qinglong saw what he meant, and said, "Yizhi will wait outside for a while, and then come in together when they are all together." ”

He looked at Wu Zhengxiang's gaze, as kind as looking at his own son and nephew. In a battle just past, he fought side by side with Wu Zhengxiang, entrusting life and death to him.

As it turned out, he was not wrong.

It's a pity, it's a pity that he's dying and can't take refuge in him anymore.

Wu Zhengxiang responded in a deep voice, and respectfully said goodbye to the emperor and the crown prince.

He stood in front of the hall, looking at the golden light sprinkled by the warm winter sun, all kinds of emotions stirred in his heart, and his thoughts became a mess.

Sometimes thinking about Emperor Qinglong, who trusted him in every way in the palace, he felt sad that his life had come to an end; sometimes he was worried about Xu Wanzhen in Songzhou, Wei Mingchen's methods were clear to him, he wanted Xu Wanzhen's life, could she really escape?

She is still pregnant with a child in her womb, and although she does not have symptoms such as joy, it is not as convenient as ordinary people after all. Even if she succeeds in escaping this catastrophe, she will suffer.

He let out a long sigh in his heart, worried. I can't wait to fly to her side and confirm her safety with my own eyes.
