Chapter 499: Extra Three: Big Dream
The Emperor has been ill for some time.
From the beginning of the year, until the beginning of spring and then to the beginning of summer, the illness became more and more lingering and heavy under the joint diagnosis and treatment of all the imperial doctors in the palace.
In fact, it's no wonder that the imperial doctor is not good at it, the emperor is already an old man who is close to the age of sixties, and he has been suffering from major illnesses and small disasters for several years, and his temper is also cloudy and capricious, but it has affected his mood and aggravated his condition.
Above the court, because of the emperor's deteriorating physical condition, there was gradually a lot of anxiety, and in the battle for the throne, it was even more contradictory.
The crown prince is still just a false title, neither favored and valued by the emperor, nor has the support of a strong mother's family, so he is not as good as an ordinary prince.
And at this juncture, the emperor's dictation was to let His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince supervise the country's handling of government affairs, and Li Jinjian has always done a good job, but he has the demeanor of a monarch.
In such an unclear situation, not only was there a lot of controversy in the court, but the eldest prince Li Jinsheng complained a lot, and the third prince Li Jinxian even stumbled on him openly and secretly.
The situation in the palace is even more chaotic, Concubine Tian Shu can protect herself, but she no longer has the ability to support her son. The empress monopolized the power in the palace and was almost able to control the life and death of the emperor. And Concubine Yang Xian is also very active in contacting all the forces of her mother's family in the court, and she is even more of her own party in the palace, and there is a faint tendency to fight against the queen.
Minister Hua Zhang is obviously on Li Jinxian's side, his concubine Hua Shu has married the fourth prince Li Jinyu as the main concubine, so she naturally wants to pull Chen Guifei and her mother's family Qingguo Gong into her camp.
But this wishful thinking is obviously a bit wrong, Li Jinyu is naturally a superficial and incompetent person, and it is easy to be wooed by Li Jinxian, and the person next to him happily joins their camp.
But his biological mother Chen Guifei and his mother Qingguo Gong are very smart and wise people, and everyone is still obsessed with themselves in this chaotic situation, so they only stand on the sidelines and never intervene in the party contention.
They knew Li Jinyu well and knew that this was an embroidered pillow, even if all the princes were defeated, it would be impossible for this throne to fall on his head.
Since there is no personal stake, there is no need to jump up and down like that.
As the queen's concubine, Li Jinxian is already higher than all princes in terms of identity. But Li Jinsheng's strength is not inferior to him by half a point, so the two tigers are fighting, but it seems that Li Jinjian, the seventh prince who obeyed the emperor's dictation and ruled on his behalf, was particularly embarrassed.
After all, Concubine Tian Shu has lived in seclusion in the deep palace for many years, and she is not favored by the emperor, and she has no intention of cultivating people who can support Li Jinjian in the court.
Yes, under the current situation that affects the whole body, Li Jinjian is extremely jealous of them, but he disdains to do anything to him.
It is a time of change of seasons, from early summer to early autumn is only three months, and more than 90 days and nights are rotated one after another.
In the early autumn of this year, the hot summer still makes people still have palpitations, and the mourning bell has been heard in the palace, which resounded over the entire Changle City in the dusk after sunset.
In all dynasties, when the emperor is replaced, it is a day when the people's hearts are scattered and the country is unpredictable.
The state funeral lasted for three years, and after the emperor's funeral was completed and the Azusa Palace was moved to the imperial mausoleum to be settled, it was time to welcome the new monarch.
Now there are four candidates for the new monarch, one is the third son of the emperor Li Jinxian, he not only has a lot of power in the court, but his biological mother is logical to enter the Shoukang Palace and be respected as the queen mother, no matter which prince ascends the throne.
The two are the emperor's eldest son, Li Jinsheng, who has a lot of power in the palace, Concubine Yang Xian and her henchmen, and after years of training in the court, they can be regarded as evenly matched with Li Jinxian, and they can fight. And the most important thing is that the inheritance of the emperor's family always thinks that it is time to establish a successor, Li Jinsheng is the eldest son, Li Jinxian is the son-in-law, yes, and the two of them must always be outstanding among the princes, whether it is in ordinary times or at this critical time.
The third is that the seventh prince Li Jin saw it, this person is also an unlucky person, who has this very noble status, but he has not lived a few years of pampered life, but he has been wandering outside and has suffered a lot. But in the eyes of most of the courtiers who were still watching, he though

There was no half-point advantage in the competition between the two tigers, but the emperor allowed him to govern on his behalf before his death, and did what should have been done by the prince.
But once the emperor closed his eyes, as far as Li Jinjian was concerned, there was no longer a chance to develop slowly, and those previous advantages disappeared.
So he didn't care much in the eyes of those two, and Hengzhu was just a powerless prince, whether it was in the previous dynasty or the harem, he didn't have any power.
And this last one is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who should have inherited the throne.
Speaking of the prince's life experience is really quite bizarre, he has been made the prince since he was born, his biological mother is Empress Xianzhaoren, and his maternal grandfather's family can be regarded as the power of the government and the opposition above the court, and even the emperor's accession to the throne is supported by them.
It was so logical that he should have been able to enjoy a life of infinite beauty.
But the more chips you have, the greater the risk you take. However, after a few months, the emperor's thunderous methods were really amazing. The annexation of the imperial harem inside and outside the Qing Dynasty overnight caused the infant crown prince to lose his biological mother and powerful maternal family, as well as all the favor of his father and emperor.
Since then, he has become a poor person that any ordinary prince can step on under his feet, although he has occupied the position of the crown prince of the East Palace for more than 20 years, he has never done what a real prince does.
In the eyes of these people, whether there is him or not in Weiyang as a prince is just an inconsequential matter.
Yes, during these dozens of days of mourning for the first emperor, most of the courtiers were busy starting to stand in line, or choosing Li Jinsheng or Li Jinxian, which was really boiling and lively.
But in the end, the result was a big surprise and a big surprise.
Qingguo Gong and the six Shangshu took out the edict of the emperor in front of everyone in the court, and strongly praised the crown prince Li Jinyuan to ascend the throne.
Just when everyone was dumbfounded, the prince in the dragon robe had already entered from outside the palace, and the honor guards behind him were all the regulations of the first emperor, and there was no mistake or omission.
Looking at the new emperor who no one had looked at him before, now he is wearing a yellow robe, and the uncertain expression of the gloomy owl is showing that he was just a taoguang in the past, but now he can control the life and death of everyone and take charge of the government of a country.
Seeing that this was an irretrievable momentum, it was the Minister of State Hua Zhang who reacted first, bowed down to the ground and shouted long live. Most of the remaining ministers thought that most of them were looking forward to the prime minister, and his kneeling led the position of the majority, and the world was turned upside down in an instant.
Just when everyone fell to the ground, their faces were happy and convinced, but they were secretly harboring ghosts, the new emperor slowly ascended to the high throne and opened the first early court meeting of the new dynasty.
In this way, the big picture has been settled.
Just when the new emperor ruthlessly began to bloody Changle City, Li Jinjian was already thousands of miles away, far away from the chaotic court.
He first went to Tianyin City between the mountains on the border wholeheartedly, although it was not a fast journey, but the trip was quite fast, and he did not receive the first order from the new emperor to the Seven Princes' Mansion.
When this news reached the ears of the new emperor of the palace, even if the inner eunuch lowered his head and did not dare to raise his eyes, he also felt the emperor's almost irrepressible anger, and he was about to burst out.
originally thought that Long Yan should be angry, but he restrained his emotions in time, and when his clothes were flipped, he only heard him say indifferently: "That's it, go down." ”
The inner eunuch walked out of the temple door tremblingly, and his underwear was already soaked with cold sweat.
Only after the first two years, the emperor's thunderous methods caught people off guard, killing or belittleing political opponents, and soon stabilized the situation in the court and China, and held great power.
Although these Li Jinjian people are thousands of miles away, they all know about it.
At the very moment of that night, when he had made that decision, he could already have predicted the development of the situation today.
If this Weiyang country is taken over by him, I don't think it will be better than Li Jinyuan.
Yes, the first emperor left two edicts during his lifetime, one was to let the emperor's seventh son Li Jinjian ascend the throne as the new emperor, and the other is what the world sees today, the new emperor is the former prince, the second son of the emperor Li Jinyuan.
