"The elder does not stand the young, and the old man agrees." Shen Kuo looked at Li Ji and said with a temper, "But General Li, is it really appropriate for you to discuss the matter of the new emperor with us in this way?" ”

"yes!" Cao Ru hurriedly stepped forward and said like a peacemaker, "The Son of Heaven left suddenly, and he didn't have time to make an edict. As for the new Son of Heaven, everyone should sit down and talk about it. Well, I also support the establishment of the elderly. ”

Xue Tao said in his heart that Shen Kuo and Cao Ru were really two old foxes, and after thinking about it, he hurriedly made a black face, and said to Shen Kuo in a negative tone: "Master Taifu, why can't you understand?" At the birthday banquet of the four princes, didn't the Son of Heaven say that he would be appointed as the prince when the four princes grow up? This shows that the Son of Heaven prefers the four princes. ”

"It's just a drunken gaffe!" Shen Kuo said, "Since ancient times, the order of the young and the young is the avenue. ”

The Chun Guanfu looked at Xue Tao's color, and hurriedly stepped forward, stood on Xue Tao's side, and argued with Shen Kuo, Cao Ru and others.

is obviously surrounded by danger, but he is red-faced and red-eared for the matter of establishing the prince. This made Li Ji and Lang Yanping look at it, who still believes that the Son of Heaven has made any edict?

Since there is no edict, this matter has become much easier.

"The throne is none other than the eldest prince." Li Ji spoke up forcefully and interrupted everyone's argument, "If you have any dissent, ask thousands of Lin Wei and the soldiers of the Sixth Army." ”

Several ministers were silent.

Li Ji has a heavy army, who dares to compete with him?

A kingdom shall not be without a king for a day. On the same day, the eldest prince, who was less than four years old, was enthroned as the new son of heaven of the Great Zhou Dynasty, accompanied by Li Guifei. Headed by the governor of the Six Officials, the voice of the "New Son of Heaven" of the Manchu Dynasty roared in the sky.

Afterwards, the mansions of the Liuguan Mansion, as well as the Taifu Mansion, as well as the mansions of many other important ministers, were all monitored by Li Ji's people. These people just want to make a difference, and they don't dare to act rashly.

In the palace, Concubine Jun's Yunguang Hall was also surrounded by people sent by Concubine Li. In order to facilitate surveillance, Concubine Li even removed all the palace people who served in Yunguang Palace, except for the two who served closely, as well as the nurse of the fourth prince.

Shen Bijun guarded the four princes all day long, lest someone would take the lives of the four princes.

In Chen Guogong's mansion, Shen Liancheng was anxious. In such a critical situation, for a while, she really didn't know how to deal with it.

In contrast, Chen Xiang seems to be much calmer.

"Do you have a solution?" Seeing him so calm, Shen Liancheng couldn't help but feel hopeful.

"Now," Chen Xiang pondered, "our most urgent thing is to rescue Concubine Jun and the Four Princes from the palace. Don't worry about the rest. ”

"Don't worry?" Shen Liancheng was almost a little surprised, "Now the homes of all the important ministers are all watched by Li Ji's people. We just want to do something, and we can't get in touch with them. ”

"Why do you need to get in touch with them?" Chen Xiang said, "We just need to rescue Concubine Jun and the four princes." As for my grandfather-in-law, after we rescue Concubine Jun and the Four Princes, I will have my own way to deliver the news to them. ”

He said it so lightly! Shen Liancheng looked at him, his eyes lit up, and he looked very convinced.

She forgot, who is Chen Xiang? Dead and orphaned! He told himself that all over the country, there is still his power. What's so hard about sending a message to those dignitaries?

She suddenly felt a lot lighter.

She approached Chen Xiang and did not forget to remind, "In addition to rescuing Concubine Jun and the four princes, I also have to hand over a letter to a person and bring back a reply." ”

Chen Xiang thought about it and was a little puzzled, "Who?" ”

"Queen Ashina, who lives in the Fengzao Palace." Shen Liancheng told him, "I deliberately spared her life that day, and betrayed her a favor, and it was time for her to repay her with the Turks." At this time, we have to gather all the forces we can use. ”

"It's not hard to get her a letter." Chen Xiang said, "Batian is in the palace, and there are still some manpower available. ”

"Deception?" Shen Liancheng just thought of this person who was forced to escape from the lair twice by himself, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty, "Where is Batian, do you know?" ”

"Where can he go?" Chen Xiang smiled, "Hide in Xiang's house." Originally, he came to Kyoto, and that was his first place of residence. ”

"I thought he had already left Beijing." Shen Liancheng said in a low voice as if talking to himself, very surprised. After thinking about it, she still felt a little guilty and asked, "Does he resent me?" ”

"Resentment is resentment, but there is no resentment. Otherwise, he would not repay my grievances with virtue, and in turn helped me a lot. Chen Xiang said, with a little joy on his face.

Shen Liancheng was curious, what did Chu Batian do and how did he help Chen Xiang? However, Chen Xiang didn't tell her, but said, "You'll know after a while." ”

After that, he changed the topic and told Shen Liancheng: "I will go out in disguise later, find a suitable pair, and enter the palace to replace Concubine Jun and the four princes." ”

If you find someone to replace you, the person you replace will be worried about your life, right?

Thinking of this, Shen Liancheng opened his mouth, but pursed his lips again and said nothing.

Chen Xiang saw it in his eyes and naturally knew what she was thinking, so he tapped her nose and quipped: "Haven't you always believed in 'those who achieve great things, don't be informal'?" Now a woman's heart again? ”

"I didn't." Shen Liancheng turned his face away, a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry!" Chen Xiang said, "I will find someone with a clever tongue, she can escape death." Moreover, although Li Ji and Lang Yanping are wolf ambitions, innocent and useless people will not kill indiscriminately. ”

Shen Liancheng suddenly laughed, tapped his chin, and only instructed: "You will go out later, be careful!" ”

"Hmm."

On the same day, Li Shuang'er had a nightmare because she took a nap at noon, so she hurriedly summoned Li Ji into the palace.

As soon as she saw Li Ji, she said, "Brother, sister just had a dream!" I dreamed that the emperor had turned into a terrible ghost and wanted to take our lives! The first emperor said that he originally wanted to appoint the four princes as the princes, but we took the position of the son of heaven of the four princes and disobeyed his holy will! ”

Li Ji listened, a little impatient, "It's just a dream!" I've been very busy these two days, so my sister shouldn't send someone to call me into the palace because of this kind of thing. ”

After that, he gave a shallow salute and was about to leave.

"Brother!" Li Shuang'er hurriedly stopped him, and even got up and walked up to him, persuading: "Dispose of her mother and son, right?" lest you have long nights and many dreams. ”

"No!" Li Ji was a little angry, "How many times have I told you?" The four princes can't die yet. How many people are watching! At this time, if the news of the death of the fourth prince comes out, it will inevitably cause chaos. ”

"You don't have heavy troops, what are you afraid of?" Li Shuang'er was unwilling, "Once the four princes are gone, they will have no hope, right?" ”

"A woman's opinion!" Li Ji couldn't help but say angrily, "Without the Four Princes, there is no hope?" There are also two princes and three princes. There is no prince, and there is a Prince Rong outside the palace! ”

Li Shuang'er choked on these words, angry and annoyed, but even more, she was not convinced.
