146.Chapter 146: The Dying
When Yang Qinglan learned from Cherry and Liu En that everyone was thinking about letting He Zhe take the dog recently, she actually refused in her heart.
After all, judging from the original text of the novel, He Zhe is a good emperor except for his scum, he is very strong in civil and martial arts, and has created a prosperous era, if she doesn't kill him in advance, he will live for at least twenty years, and these twenty years are the foundation of Chang'an's rule.
He Lin is still underage, even if he is precocious, he is still a little short of being a qualified emperor, if he ascends the throne in advance, maybe what awaits him is that the ministers control the government, and he becomes a puppet emperor.
Even if you consider it from the task alone, He Zhe's current progress bar is declining at a rate of almost 1% per day, and she still wants to complete the task with a high degree of completion and then leave, and the system will no longer have preferential treatment for killing the protagonist of the task for the second time.
However, within a few days, reality made her change her decision.
Zhang Yunhua's body is getting worse and worse, I don't know if she tossed too much after projection, obviously it hasn't reached the time when her body begins to weaken in the original text, and she is about to be unable to support it now.
The time spent on sobriety every day is getting less and less, on average it is only a little more than an hour, and during this waking time, she often coughs up blood, almost relying on Liu En's means to barely hang her life, and the precious medicinal materials spent every day let the money of the General's Mansion flow into the pockets of the medicinal herb merchants like flowing water, and later it actually developed to the point that several medicinal herb merchants specially sent people to wait at the gate of the General's Mansion, and once someone who looked like a doctor appeared, they rushed up to "bid".
Realizing that "herself" time was running out, but there was a gap between the completion of the main and side quests, she finally agreed to Cherry and Liu En's suggestion -
Find an opportunity to do He Zhe, no matter what method you use, put Liu Ying and He Lin on top first!
As for whether He Lin will be a good emperor after he ascends the throne, whatever, she was already "dead" at that time, who can still come alive to interfere in the affairs after her death?
Besides, this world is a task world with a system architecture, not the real world, so why should players care too much about the lives of NPCs?
But having said that, before she started, she still sent someone to ask for the opinions of Qi Yuanzhi, Liu Ying, Concubine Shi and Concubine Lu.
Among everyone, Qi Yuanzhi's reply surprised her the most.
Qi Yuanzhi in the original book is a loyal and patriotic aspiring young man, although he resigned at the end because he was disappointed in He Zhe's character, but he was actually a courtier loyal to the imperial power in his heart, originally she thought he would object, or stand by, who knew that what was waiting for was his personal visit.
He wanted to help.
When he said that he wanted to help, if it weren't for the 108% progress bar on his head, Yang Qinglan would have thought he was here to be an undercover agent.
"Why?" She asked.
"For the sake of the country." Qi Yuanzhi replied.
"......" clams? I really don't understand what you people think.
"If there is anything that the lower official can do, the old lady, please be sure to hand it over to the lower official."
Did you take the wrong medicine, child?
Yang Qinglan desperately held the mouthful of old blood that was about to cough up in her throat, afraid that she would spray him in the face, so she just nodded.
Qi Yuanzhi left satisfied.
Because Concubine Shi didn't have any thoughts about He Zhe for a long time, it didn't matter if he died or not, she could still get out of the palace early if she died, so as soon as the news came, she made it clear that she raised her hands in favor and wished the old lady early success.
Liu Ying's reply was the longest, she actually wrote a reply of 2,000 words at the risk of being discovered by the palace guards, and she fainted twice when Cherry slowly read it to Yang Qinglan word by word, and it took two days to listen to a letter.
The central meaning of the letter is really only one sentence.
"Although my husband is very reluctant, compared with my son, it is okay for my husband to die."
Regarding this letter, Yang Qinglan was powerless to complain.
Of course, this sense of powerlessness deepened after she received Lu Guifei's reply.
Because Lu Guifei told her very hapi: "I hooked up with the eldest prince!" The eldest prince's kung fu in bed is great, much better than his father! Hurry up and let him die, I want to be with the eldest prince in the open!! Ah yes, the eldest prince also said that he could help! ”
Why did the unlucky child of the eldest prince not let go of his father's woman?!
Although I am very happy to have a strong reinforcement to help, but if a second prince is involved, won't there be any changes in the dispute between the princes?
probably remembered that the eldest prince was also a strong candidate to compete for the prince, or that the eldest prince promised Lu Guifei something when he was emotionally confused, and Lu Guifei added another reply the next day.
"After He Lin ascended the throne, the trouble was great, let the eldest prince also take it, I don't like men who are too clingy, I think the eldest son of Prime Minister Wu Cheng's family is also very good, but the number of times he enters the harem is really limited, I only rolled with him once on the night of the state banquet, and I miss it a little."
Yang Qinglan after seeing the reply: "......"
Is this woman really here to experience Gong Dou???
Fortunately, no matter what the purpose of these people is, the goal is the same, and there are no teammates who are dragging their feet ideologically, so after intensive preparations, the General's Mansion began to move.
……
He Zhe, who originally intended to temporarily alienate Concubine Lu Guifei and Concubine Shi De, "encountered" them several times in various parts of the palace, and his attitude tended to soften, especially in the face of Lu Guifei who had the halo of the heroine, he was basically in a state of powerlessness, and finally one day he rolled the sheets with her and fell asleep with all his strength, and was stolen by Lu Guifei and stamped on the fake edict.
As for why not use the Imperial Seal?
He Zhe, a severe victim of paranoia, has always put the imperial seal in the imperial seal hall guarded by four seal officials, unless he himself speaks, no one can call it, although Lu Guifei's heroine aura is powerful, but it has no hypnotic effect, so it can only be used privately.
When Yiqiē was ready, everyone on the front line of the General's Mansion opened the curtain on the plot to take the emperor's life.
The whole thing starts with the eve of He Zhe's birthday.
Under the pretext of congratulating on his birthday, all the princes entered the middle palace the day before the birthday banquet to present birthday gifts to their fathers, and the night before he was blue by Lu Guifei's various fancy tosses, He Zhe, no matter what he saw, was ghosted, and he almost dozed off on the throne, facing all kinds of birthday gifts that were high-quality but commonplace for him, the emperor, he seemed to be lacking in interest, half leaning on the dragon chair, and his guard was minimized.
The emperor was not interested, and the eunuchs did not check all kinds of gifts so seriously, and a few of them were mixed in, and it was easy to let go of the giant "dead wood spring" bonsai that the eldest prince had dedicated to the "hidden mysteries".
That night, the "dead wood in spring" piled up in the gift room suddenly spontaneously combusted, igniting the entire gift room, and the internal officials of the general's mansion deliberately delayed the firefighting time, and when everyone put out the fire, half of the palace was burned to the shelf.
He Zhe was furious.
There are only three major festivals in a year, and the heavenly sacrifice that represents the national fortune and the birthday banquet that represents his personal fortune are all moths, how can he be happy?
So he ordered to severely punish the palace people who were on duty that night.
Lu Guifei proposed at the right time that she should personally supervise it, so as not to show mercy to the palace people who imposed the punishment, and invited He Zhe to join him, He Zhe only thought for a second before agreeing.
Then, the dark line, who had already been arranged among the people of the punished palace, pretended to be unbearable and went crazy, dodged the long knife of a janissary guard who "happened" to stand very close, and slashed indiscriminately.
For a while, the sound of "escort" was everywhere, and the scene immediately became chaotic.
Lu Guifei exclaimed, "delicately", hid in He Zhe's arms, and dragged him in place with all her strength, unable to move.
At the same time, several of the other palace people who were punished together urged everyone to resist together, and many of the guards were pretending, so the scene was soon controlled by a group of "crazy" palace people.
He Zhe died under the knife of the □□ palace people, and Lu Guifei was "seriously injured" and was transferred to the imperial hospital for treatment, but in the end "he was too injured and died".
Even the most critical historian felt that the emperor's death was just an accident and wrote the whole process into the history books, even if some people thought it was a man-made plan, there was no evidence.
Then, the eldest prince jumped out and thought, "My father did not establish a prince during his lifetime, since he has no heir, he should be established, and this throne is well deserved to be inherited by me!" ”
Someone with a heart can naturally find out what caused the fire in the palace on the eve of the birthday banquet, and when he saw him jumping out so eagerly, he naturally put the hat of "conspiracy" on his head.
He Zhe's bones were not cold, and a group of people in the court who wore linen and filial piety couldn't wait to start debating the ownership of the throne, and the supporters of several crown prince candidates competed for each other, and even the prince himself joined in, and finally developed to the point of adding fists and feet in the mourning hall.
A group of old and young people fought in the mourning hall, and when the people around them finally persuaded everyone to leave, everyone suddenly found dumbfounded that the eldest prince, who was most likely to become the emperor, had a short sword stuck in his heart and fell to the ground, and he was out of breath.
Who's doing it?
I don't know.
Everyone was in a mess just now, who can tell the difference?
When to get your hands on?
I don't know.
It was too noisy, and no one heard the screams of the eldest prince.
It is forbidden to carry sharp weapons in the mourning hall, where did this short sword come from?
I don't know.
Everyone had been searched before entering the mourning hall, and theoretically no one could carry such a large short sword.
Now what?
I don't know.
There are too many people who do it, and there are many second- and third-grade officials, if everyone is listed as suspects, will the country still operate?
When a group of people looked at each other, they secretly stuffed the bandages used to wrap the blade of the sword into their cuffs, and Qi Yuanzhi walked out of the crowd with a straight face holding the Quartet Golden Seal in his hand.
"There was a murder case in front of the public, and the victim was still the prince, and in the name of the secretary of Qingtian Mansion, it was announced that Qingtian Mansion had taken over the case. Qingtianwei! ”
"In!"
The Qingtian guards, who had been waiting on the side for a long time, responded and surrounded the entire mourning hall tightly.
"Seal the temple! Frisk! No one is exempt! ”
"Yes!"
After his subordinates were busy, the real murderer stood on a high place with his hands behind his back and had an unobstructed view of the entire mourning hall, looking at this scene, Qi Yuanzhi suddenly felt a subtle sense of satisfaction in his heart, and subconsciously licked his lips.
Is this what it feels like to be in control......
The old lady is really amazing!
Qi Yuanzhi admired "Zhang Yunhua" more and more in his heart.
He was not afraid of such a powerful figure, because he had already learned from Liu En that the old lady was dying, and the reason why he was in such a hurry to plan this qiē was to fulfill his wish before he died.
He has a long time to live, so why bother with a dying man?
In front of He Zheling, the corners of Qi Yuanzhi's mouth hooked a dangerous arc.
