Shao Huachi looked at the closed door of the palace in amazement, the man who once held everything for him and Concubine Li, the father he had looked up to and longed for since he was a child, finally ended his absurd and lamentable life.

And he found that he wasn't as sad as he thought he was.

All the feelings have been abandoned and humiliated again and again, and there is not much left, and there is no thought about it if it is consumed too much.

Everything he can have is earned by himself, whether it is the future or the lover.

Shao Huachi clenched his fists, slowly stretched out again, and bowed respectfully to the door of the palace with the other princes, and there was a whimper around him.

Seeing that Emperor Jin Cheng was completely breathless, Mei Jue slowly walked out of the house, and the eunuch on the side also knelt down and cried after confirming the collapse of the emperor: Long live my emperor, long live the king.

Uncovering the truth in the end was Mei Jue's plan at the beginning, and it started from planning a few years ago.

Relying on this identity, she provided a lot of convenience for the Fu Party and the Seven Kings Party, and gradually got closer and closer to the lifeblood of the emperor.

What's the most shocking thing is that it gives people an established, accepted fact, but before he is about to die, it completely turns his mind upside down.

Such a gap will not be able to withstand even Emperor Jin Cheng, who has been up and down in the palace for a lifetime, and his already terminally ill body is like a broken candle that will be extinguished at any time.

Perhaps for Emperor Jin Cheng, Mei Jue is the last pure land in his heart, and he is the person he has invested countless feelings in. And it was also she who spread out everything she had done from attracting his attention at the last moment, and completely destroyed a beautiful world built by Emperor Jin Cheng, which was the heaviest spiritual blow to Emperor Jin Cheng.

Even without Mei Jue's last poisonous powder, Emperor Jin Cheng would not be able to take a few more breaths under the multiple blows.

Mei Jue is a person in the harem, judging from the status of women in this period, she is not qualified to resist, and even these should be her suffer, others may not understand her obsession, but Fu Chen, as a modern person, understands that some people are destined not to be assimilated by the environment.

Including Mu Junning, he didn't trust him so much, but he was almost sure of Mei Jue's character and trusted her.

After it was determined that the emperor had died, there was a wail inside and outside the capital.

The sound of the death knell could be heard throughout the capital, echoing in everyone's ears.

Concubine Mei, the only one who accompanied the emperor at the end, or now it should be said that Concubine Mei Xian, quietly returned to her residence and retired everyone, the attendants all thought that Concubine Mei was too sad, but Mei Jue was full of calm.

She looked at the poisoned wine in her hand and laughed.

"It's over...... Everything ......"

This is what she has been preparing for herself a long time ago, and she even has a ready-made reason, she is overly sad and goes with the emperor.

Whether she succeeded today or not, she never thought about living again.

Just as she was about to drink it all, suddenly the door was pushed open, and the treacherous people who were left in the palace and originally belonged to the twelve guards under the jurisdiction of Shao Huachi appeared in time, and a dart shot the cup of poisonous wine, and the cup fell from Mei Jue's hand and smashed to the ground, and the venom spilled all over the ground.

Shao Huachi walked in expressionlessly, looking at Mei Jue, who couldn't react, "What are you doing, martyrdom?" ”

"King Rui, shouldn't you be in the Heart Cultivation Hall at this time?" All the princes and ministers should not leave easily, but should discuss the affairs of the emperor and the new emperor's accession to the throne.

"He asked me to watch the situation of my mother after the collapse of the emperor, it seems that it is really right, you want to seek death?"

This he, naturally, refers to Fu Chen.

“…… I've done what I promised, and I'll decide whether I live or die. Seeing that the matter has come to this, Mei Jue also told the truth, her long-term obsession with supporting herself has been completed, once there is no goal, she naturally has this idea, and Fu Chen also noticed this sign when Ah Yi sent people to assassinate before.

"What if you have flesh and bone in your belly?"

"What do you say...... I! Mei Jue looked at her stomach in disbelief, which was not yet reacting.

"You can find a doctor to confirm."

Mei Jue recovered from her surprise and slowly calmed down, she was a little confused about this titular son, "What do you want?" ”

"I hope you and this child are alive and well, and with me Shao Huachi for a day, there will be a day of glory for you and the child."

"Why, what good is this for Your Highness?" What Mei Jue wants to say is, what does this have to do with your King Rui.

If she goes with the emperor, it should be the situation that everyone wants to see, and it is the beginning of a new harem balance.

If Fu Chen has this kind thought, she believes it, people like Fu Chen look ruthless, but in fact, they have a lot of weaknesses, sympathize with the weak, and often do some thankless things in the eyes of outsiders.

But His Highness is just the opposite, although His Highness the Seventh is her nominal son, but in all fairness, she feels that he is scheming and not easy to get along with. Whether he is in the folk or in the palace, his reputation and reputation are very good, either the name of the virtuous king is better than the virtuous king, or she has heard of it in the palace. King Rui seems to be selfless, but in fact he is the epitome of this palace infighting, a typical man under the power struggle, who will do whatever it takes for the sake of profit. Regardless of his performance, everything he does probably has a purpose.

Shao Huachi didn't want to say more, he had a good relationship with Mei Jue, and stopping it at this time could be regarded as a mother-son relationship, "Why should the mother concubine worry too much and hurt herself." I hope that the mother and concubine will recuperate well, and the son has important tasks, so he will retire first. ”

There are benefits, naturally, otherwise why would he send someone to watch Mei Jue at this critical juncture, and then come over to persuade him personally.

The first is that Concubine Mei's children do not pose any threat to him, the second is that Fu Chen does not want to hear the news of Mei Jue's death when he wakes up, and the third is to make a net for the new emperor to ascend the throne, whether this net can be used or not.

Fourth, and most importantly: bonds.

Fu Chen is a person who is difficult to be restrained, and he is not willing to be restrained. Even if he promises to be with him now, anyone can see that this is his coercion and temptation plus Fu Chen's gratitude and dedication, Shao Huachi doesn't even care about the truth, so he doesn't mind doing something that makes Fu Chen more worried, constantly strengthening the invisible implication in this regard, the more he cares, the more difficult it is for Fu Chen to leave.

Broken teeth and tendons, if Fu Chen wants to leave, he also has to consider how many people in this capital are inextricably linked to him.

Shao Huachi walked out of the Yongmei Hall and saw Mu Junning standing not far away. She had already seen that Mei Jue's state was not right, so she followed.

Shao Huachi didn't seem to see her, and he didn't stop his footsteps.

He and Mu Junning are both each other's heart problems, but the two have to be connected occasionally because of the party disputes inside and outside the palace and the palace, although Shao Huachi is disgusted with her, but now he just ignores it.

Mu Junning listened to the whole process, his thin body half leaned against the big tree, coughed lightly twice, and his pale face was full of ridicule, "In order to tie him up, you really did everything." ”

Shao Huachi continued to walk forward.

"You're so selfish, sooner or later...... There will be retribution! If he had known, he would have left you, a despicable and shameless one! ”

The word "leave" completely hit a string of Shao Huachi, and his cold gaze locked on Mu Junning, "Heh, who is not selfish?" Don't talk about how noble you are, you sold him directly to me for yourself and your daughter. Go and say, see if he believes you, or believe me. ”

"You're a ...... Shameless! Mu Junning was a little angry and incoherent, she regretted what happened at the beginning, and she had been sneered by Shao Huachi. Since the last time she went to Rui Wang's Mansion, she had already noticed that Fu Chen had completely entered the Rui Wang Party, even if she said it, what was the use, even if the man knew, he would not change his political position, and the political position affected this feeling, which she could not shake, so she could only say fiercely: "Use power for personal gain, use public love for personal gain!" ”

"Imperial Concubine, your posture is really ugly." Shao Huachi didn't show weakness at all, and smiled softly, "But I happen to like to appreciate the faces of losers." ”

Listening to the cursing behind him, Shao Huachi slowly looked at the birds flying in the sky.

With all the external strength, I will keep you as long as possible.

——Jin. Workers. Alone. Home, only. One. Correct. Edition——

On the night of the emperor's death, as Fu Chen expected, this was the moment that many forces were waiting.

When the ministers were discussing whether to send troops to the road to meet the returning new emperor to preside over the overall situation, Xu Qing, Shao Huachi and others received the battle report from the front.

Shao Huayang, the king of Rui, was gathering troops, gathering rebel troops, and launching a siege on the capital from both sides, pointing at the emperor's throne.

This is a good time, at this time, the people in the capital are disheartened, and it is also at this time, King An has not yet succeeded to the throne, everything seems to be going smoothly, and everything seems to be possible to turn around at any time.

It seems that at this time, as long as the troops are gathered and the city is successfully attacked, everything is a foregone conclusion.

Hearing that the troops were about to descend on the city, the ministers who were arguing about whether to pick up the new emperor stopped their voices and looked at Xu Qing, who had a solemn face, and the scene was extremely urgent.

Xu Qing looked at the ministers of civil and military affairs, took out the tiger talisman on his body, and ended such a meaningless argument in a tough way, now what is more important is how to use troops to resist the rebel army after the emperor's death, the number of rebel troops this time is still unknown.

Xu Qing was appointed by the first emperor himself, and the weight of his words was naturally not comparable to Shao Huachi, a prince who had just been relieved of his position, and from this moment on, they entered a new stage.

And like Shao Ziyu, the king of honor, looked around left and right at this time, and quietly left while the surroundings were not paying attention.

No one would pay attention to such a prince who was gradually expelled from the core of power.

Shao Huachi glanced in the direction where King Yu had left, and whispered a few words to a few guards behind him.

He, the ninth brother, always uses his wisdom in the wrong place, such as at this time, does he want to take advantage of the chaos to rob or sit on the ground to be the king?

Shao Huachi only sent people to keep an eye on him, and he had more important deployments to sum up with several generals.

They had discussed on the city walls, and the last attack was only a temptation, and now it was considered serious.

Xu Qing, Feng Lin and other generals were discussing the route of Shao Huayang's rebel army, and several generals expressed their opinions, and they understood that the orders given here would determine the future unification of the Jin Kingdom, and the debate was extremely fierce.

After listening to this, Shao Huachi made a shocking proposal.

Xu Qing looked at Shao Huachi, who was desperate, and said, "You mean that you want to leave most of the soldiers in the city and only send two percent to guard the city gate?" ”

Feng Lin, as the general of the Acropolis, was the first to raise objections, and even reprimanded them, and the other generals also condemned them. Since Shao Huachi has been on the battlefield and has a record of defeating the enemy, he is naturally not the kind of prince who doesn't understand anything and can only mess around, so he didn't drive him out of this discussion, but they all had the idea of "this son is too ridiculous" to him, because this idea is too risky.

In fact, this idea was still Shao Huachi's thought of what Fu Chen said before Fu Chen went to sleep: Don't move Shao Anlin, keep the capital first.

Fu Chen deliberately emphasized the word "guarantee" at that time, and Shao Huachi noticed another meaning in Fu Chen's words at that time, he was suspicious, there was fraud in this siege, so where is the specific fraud?

Think about it carefully, everyone doesn't know that Shao Anlin has a problem, in the eyes of others, it is the new emperor who has been entrusted with important tasks, but Shao Huachi knows the truth, the third is a puppet on the side of the Halberd Kingdom, since there is already an edict from Emperor Jin Cheng, and I believe that the third child has long known that he is the heir to the unification, why do you need the second child to "rebel", and make a huge noise, how much of the intention is in it?

Shao Huachi had a series of speculations in his heart, but the speculation was just speculation.

At this time, even if he said that there was a problem with the third child, the result he got would be the same as the result after telling his father before, thinking that he was framing the future new emperor and had ill intentions.

He had to convince the recalcitrant generals from other points of entry.

He has now made a bold idea, leaving only two percent outside the city and leaving most of the troops inside the capital, which is indeed crazy in the eyes of most people.

But Shao Huachi is more sober than anyone else, even if the outer city is breached, as long as the inner city, that is, the palace where they are located, is not breached, they have the capital to negotiate and counterattack.

Moreover, he wondered if he would be able to carry out the opponent's plan smoothly if he did not play his cards according to the rules.

Because according to the original plan of the other party, there will be more than 80,000 enemies in the capital.

Now that there are no 80,000, the other party doesn't know, this is actually a loophole.

Is it possible to take advantage of this loophole in the capital that blocks these internal responses?

"Yes, I want to keep most of my troops in the city." Shao Huachi paused, he had to try to convince at least half of the generals in a short period of time, although Xu Qing did not agree with Shao Huachi's approach, but in the end, the two were in the same camp, and he knew that King Rui was by no means a willful person.

The generals of the Jin Kingdom are usually not very good-natured, and when they heard Shao Huachi's wild words, they were not convinced, and some even wanted to blurt out meat.

Xu Qing made a gesture, and the scene was barely suppressed.

At this time, his role is revealed, Fu Chen has been so dedicated to this veteran, and there is also a deep intention, although Xu Qing has retreated behind the scenes for many years, but the prestige is there, the connections are there, and now with the tiger charm and the appointment of the emperor, and a right has been added, it can be said that at least so far, the prestige of Shao Huachi, a prince, is far from being able to reach the right of him to speak among the generals as a general with real power.

After Xu Qing controlled the scene, he asked Shao Huachi, "Please give us a convincing reason." ”

He can't be too biased in the big scene, but he will give King Rui a chance to show himself, first, the situation is indeed urgent, second, he needs to defend the city, and third, he is paving the way for King Rui.

Most of the generals present do not participate in any of the princes' party, and most of them are pure ministers, if Shao Huachi can perform one or two, the benefits to the future will be immeasurable.

Shao Huachi naturally understood Xu Qing's three-layer intentions, and he accepted it.

"Dare to ask you, what is the current garrison in the capital?"

"The Imperial Forest, the generals defending the city plus the soldiers of the Acropolis, a total of fifty-six thousand." As the commander of the Imperial Bell Army, E Hongfeng replied, although he didn't know what Shao Huachi's intentions were, but he still answered truthfully.

Such a garrison force has actually surpassed several previous dynasties.

"More than fifty-six thousand." Shao Huachi nodded and continued, "Then you should remember that not long ago, we found about 70,000 enemies, and we estimated that there were a total of 80,000 people, that is, nearly 10,000 people were still in the city. I'll talk about this later, because it took years for this group of people to sneak into the capital, so you should remember their confessions. ”

In this matter, after Shao Huachi resisted the first attack, he asked Xu Qing to invite these big figures in Beijing to come, in order to unite as one.

Fortunately, most of the generals here are from the past too. The ancestors left behind, or the descendants of those loyal ministers, still have some loyal and patriotic thoughts, otherwise Shao Huachi is not even willing to waste this tongue, it is better to kill the upper position directly, he doesn't care about carrying notoriety, but he doesn't care, Fu Chen cares.

Everyone bowed their heads, they all knew about this serious problem, and they admired it in their hearts.

It can be said that Shao Huachi saved the fall of the capital and exposed the enemy's conspiracy for many years, and he can be regarded as the person who has contributed the most.

"Now the other side doesn't know that we have captured this group of people, it should be said that they haven't had time to get this news, since they don't know, then we can use this group of people to counterattack."

This is Shao Huachi's purpose, he directly and secretly executed a small number of stubborn halberd royalists, and the rest of the 10,000 people were pryed by Shao Huachi's nerves, and they were moved by the conditions given by Shao Huachi, and they were deeply afraid of what kind of treatment the captives had, but Shao Huachi gave them the opportunity to make up for their merits and temporarily placed them outside the city.

Shao Huachi naturally didn't care whether this group of people really changed their choice or fakely agreed, as long as he controlled most of the 80,000 people, he would have time to catch the enemy off guard.

Everyone looked at each other, and everyone understood what Shao Huachi meant with just a little thought.

Shao Huachi wanted the group of "enemies" to attack the rebel army assembled by Shao Huayang, that is, the enemy who was officially besieging the city.

And this group of enemies is still numerous, and now a group of people who were originally enemies are being used by their Jin Kingdom, and even because they were originally here to cooperate with the outside, they are mainly young and middle-aged laborers, and they are not much worse than the guards in the capital, let them attack, even the enemy can not think of it.

"I believe you also understand that even if all of the 56,000 troops we garrison are sent out, there is not as much as the population of 70,000 or 80,000, in this case, why not use eighty percent of the troops to strengthen the inner city, and two percent to defend against the enemy outside, and let the rest of the people who don't know whether they are friends or enemies go to resist."

As a veteran, Xu Qing quickly understood this trick and glanced at Feng Lin.

This trick is too wonderful, originally Shao Huachi placed the tens of thousands of people outside the city, Xu Qing was still a little uneasy, there were too many people, food, riots, people's hearts, and conspiracy were accompanied by it, and there was always the danger of backlash, and just resettlement could not make people feel at ease.

It turned out that Shao Huachi was waiting for this moment.

It is planned to not only smoothly settle this group of people, but also use them to deal with their original "allies", not only to reduce the risk of being besieged, but also to minimize other losses.

This is killing many birds with one stone, and it can be said to be a trick to make them go dog-eat-dog.

And even if this group of people rebels against the water, the worst result is that they can't hold the outer city at most, and the heavy troops are still guarding the inner city, but it is a scene of looseness on the outside and strictness on the inside.

Again, you can confuse the enemy and mistakenly think that there are no troops in the capital.

Feng Lin glanced at his old friend: This Highness is really amazing!

This calculation simply blocked all the other party's way out.

Xu Qing also had palpitations, this His Royal Highness was born as an emperor.

Even if this edict on the throne comes down, with an existence like Shao Huachi, it is still unknown whether Shao Anlin can really sit on the throne.

"Good! Just do what Your Highness says!" The other generals chimed in, and everyone was happy that they didn't have to sacrifice their own soldiers.

And if it succeeds, this is a typical example of winning more with less, and this kind of strategy is enough to go down in history!

And they are equivalent to witnesses to history.

"Then there will be labor, and for these people, we can promise heavy profits." Of course, Shao Huachi would not think that this group of people who were temporarily bought by him were really credible, so he added a reward just in case.

For example, if you kill the head of the rebel army, you can be exempted from hard labor, and even become a Jin State without being classified as a lowly person, and those who kill a lot will be rewarded with gold and silver and high-ranking officials.

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, not to mention a group of disciples who are driven by survival.

This gathering also established Shao Huachi's position in the hearts of all generals.

.

Wuren Tuya stuffed a brown pill into Fu Chen's mouth, grabbed Fu Chen's sleeping head with one hand, and supported his neck with the other.

The rest of the Fu Party focused their eyes on Fu Chen.

Three days have passed, and if he doesn't feed the medicine now, Fu Chen may really die.

And the other part of the people were still observing the sky in the courtyard, watching if Fu Chen woke up, whether there would be any changes in Ziwei's life chart.

In fact, the people in the house were not sure if this fake death would work, especially Wuren Tuya, who was equipped with medicine, whether Fu Chen woke up or not was related to the lives of their entire family.

And Fu Chen, who was expected to return by everyone, moved half an hour after swallowing the medicine.

His eyelashes fluttered, and he slowly opened his eyes.
