Chapter Ninety-Seven: The New Emperor
readx;?
Yuanxin finally sent several generals who were attracted by Minxuan out of Beijing, after Minxuan's power was disintegrated, he did not show the appearance of running in a hurry, except for asking the emperor every morning to say goodbye, basically staying at home, and accompanying the emperor every day, personally serving the decoction, looking very filial.

However, a few days later, the emperor began to cough up blood, and the imperial doctor looked solemn every time he checked the pulse, and everyone had already guessed that the emperor had run out of oil and dried up.
Just when the people in the court were panicking, the informant who was placed next to Min Xuan found out a bombshell news, King Hong'an was going to raise troops to rebel! In two days, he found an excuse to transfer the two generals sent back to the capital, preparing to unite with the Imperial Forest Army to forcibly seize power.
When he heard the news, he was shocked, did he really dare? Now relatives and nobles from all over the country have gathered in the capital, and the capital is full of powerful ministers, and the slightest carelessness is a catastrophe, has he really calculated?
As soon as he found Yuanxin to discuss countermeasures, Yuanxin was also shocked and exclaimed, "This is impossible!" ”
Yi Lin hurriedly said, "What's impossible, the two generals under him are already in the capital, and then unite with the Royal Forest Army, wouldn't it be better to force the palace to explore the bag and get things?" ”
Yuanxin said firmly, "With the strength of these two generals, they can't enter the palace." ”
"If the Imperial Forest Army let them go, they don't have to kill them at all, and they will enter the palace as if they were in a no-man's land. The Imperial Forest Army is in the hands of Yao Luo, and Yao Luo is the younger brother of Princess Hong'an, he will definitely fully support King Hong'an, and the imperial city will be in their hands at that time. ”
Yuanxin was not frightened by her, and said calmly, "The commander of the Imperial Forest Army was appointed by the emperor himself, and I have no right to appoint or dismiss him, besides, their Yao family has been loyal to martyrs for generations, I don't believe that Yao Luo will participate in forcing the palace, as for the two generals contacted by King Hong'an, the current personnel in the capital are mixed, and they really need to lead troops to maintain." ”
Yilin was angry, "Are you going to sit idly by?" ”
Yuanxin retorted, "Of course not, the more serious the situation, the more I can't mess with myself, I will carefully calculate, and I will do my best to protect the emperor from being hurt by the rebellious ministers and thieves." ”
"You should gather your forces and take precautions before they happen." One persuasion.
"I have my own plans, you can rest assured." Yuanxin didn't want to talk to her anymore, since he knew that Menghan was killed by her, he didn't have a good impression of Yilin, and he basically wouldn't say a word except for business.
Seeing that Yuanxin was indifferent, she could only think of other ways, and after thinking about it, she decided to use the Helan family's forces to stop King Hong'an from rebelling. The Helan family is her mother's maiden family, she has half of the blood of the Helan family, they always hope that the throne will fall into the hands of their own family, before Helan Jiarui and Yingfeng plotted to overturn the case for the second prince.
Yilin found Helan Jiarui, Xiaozhi moved with reason, Helan Jiarui promised to help, but there was one condition, he wanted the emperor's edict. This is a bargaining chip for his self-preservation, if he succeeds in raising troops into the palace, it is okay, suppressing the king of Hong'an, and it is logical for the prince to ascend the throne. If he fails, he is treasoning, and he cannot afford to take this risk. But with the emperor's edict in hand, he can send troops in the name of King Qin, and no matter whether he succeeds or fails, he will not bear the infamy and will not be punished.
After several calculations, she agreed, and now the emperor is sick in bed, and she can't take charge of things, if she doesn't make a decision at the opportunity, she is afraid that the future will be endless.
A few days later, in the morning, Min Xuan came to greet the emperor, and was waiting in front of the emperor's bed, and the ministers of the court and the central government also lined up outside the palace in turn to greet him routinely, everything was as usual. Just suddenly broke in a group of royal guards in front of the palace and waited, not far away can also hear the footsteps of the army and the sound of fighting, as soon as I went to the outside of the palace, I saw that the courtiers were in chaos, and I knew that something was wrong, so I quickly went to the back of the palace and put a fireworks signal to inform Helan Jiarui to bring troops into the palace.
Yuanxin walked forward, guarding the dormitory, and after a while, Min Xuan slowly helped the weak emperor out, and the courtiers and the royal forest army all knelt on the ground and saluted.
Min Xuan repeated the emperor's words loudly, and asked the group of royal forest soldiers, "The emperor asked, why are you here, what happened?" ”
A small soldier stepped forward and replied, "I am here to protect the emperor on the orders of Commander Yao!" ”
Yi Lin Yan asked, "Is it to protect or force the palace to rebel?" ”
Min Xuan asked rhetorically, "What does the imperial sister mean?" ”
Yilin's words were conclusive, "You still knowingly asked, you persuaded Yao Luo to take the Imperial Forest Army for his own use, and unite with foreign ministers to raise troops to attack and seek power, do you dare to deny it?" ”
"Shut up!" Min Xuan was furious, "Don't talk nonsense in front of my father!" You are so bloody, is there any evidence? ”
Yilin pointed to the team in front of the hall and said, "Aren't the crowds of royal guards outside this hall all evidence?" If you hadn't instructed them, why would they have surrounded their father's bedchamber? ”
Just as Minxuan was about to speak, Yao Luo was injured and rushed over, "Your Majesty, Helan Jiarui led the troops to break into the palace, and the situation is fierce, please take refuge in the palace temporarily." ”
I was a little surprised, as if things shouldn't have turned out this way.
The emperor was not afraid, coughed twice and took a breath and said, "I will stand here to see who dares to rebel!" ”
"Ministers, go and retreat!" Yuanxin stepped forward, I heard how brave Yuan Chen was to retreat from the enemy single-handedly, I have Yuan Chen's true biography, and I will also show my skills today. Yuanxin casually drew the sword of a royal forest army and left, and there was a great tendency that a husband would not be able to open it. Just when he was preparing to fight with the incoming soldiers, a note was stuffed in the chaos, and Yuanxin opened it and looked, "Don't kill, capture the king and judge him." ”
Yuanxin was stunned when he saw the note, and just when the enemy soldiers were about to kill, Yuanxin suddenly woke up, flew towards Helan Jiarui, subdued him in a few moves, and then commanded the Imperial Forest Army to step forward and retreat, and took Helan Jiarui to the emperor's bedroom.
Yuanxin threw him to the ground, Helan Jiarui saw that the front of the palace was orderly and there was no trace of battle, and he already understood that he had fallen into a scheme, and fell down the steps, "The emperor spares his life!" ”
Min Xuan asked, "Who ordered you to lead troops into the palace?" ”
Helan Jiarui took out the edict, lay on the ground and replied, "I heard that the emperor is in trouble, and I entered the palace in the name of the eldest princess." ”
The emperor turned his eyes coldly and looked at Yilin, who had already known the plan at this time, but it was too late, and he knelt on the ground, "Father, listen to my explanation, it's not like this......"
Yuanxin pulled the edict and handed it to the emperor, the emperor glanced at it, and walked to Yilin with a shaky voice, "The edict is your handwriting, and it is my jade seal, except for you, who else has the right to enter and leave the imperial study to move my jade seal?" You say it's not you? ”
Tears flowed down in a hurry, and he shook his head desperately, "No, I was framed, and my father listened to my explanation......"
The emperor slapped Yilin in the face hard, "You disappointed me too much!" ”
As soon as he climbed to the feet of the emperor, he prayed desperately, "It's not like this, father, you have to believe me, I am the prince, how can I rebel......"
The emperor was so distressed that he spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted, Min Xuan shouted in a panic, "Father! Father! Tell the Imperial Doctor! Hurry up......"
After the imperial doctor arrived, he announced that the emperor was angry and had died, and then there was a wail inside and outside the hall.
Min Xuan came to the outside of the palace angrily and announced to the civil and military officials, "The eldest princess killed the king and seized the throne, the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty can see it, the crime is not forgiven, come on, pull the eldest princess down and give her death, to thank the spirit of the emperor!" ”
"Who dare!" Yilin said confidently, "My father has passed away, I am the prince, and I should be the emperor, who dares to deal with me!" ”
Min Xuan shot back, "You are rebellious, the principles of heaven are intolerable, you are not worthy of being the king of a country, if you are called the emperor, how can you serve the people?" What do you think? ”
There was a slight whisper of discussion among the courtiers, and when the momentum weakened, then Ming An came out with a box, "The emperor's edict is here." ”
Everyone knelt down to listen to the order, Yilin had a grasp in his heart, and looked at Min Xuan with cold eyes and provocatively, and Min Xuan knelt down helplessly and unwillingly, he deliberately released false news, so that Yilin raised troops to anger the emperor and took the opportunity to abolish her position as the prince, but he didn't expect the emperor to pass away before he could explain, and he didn't expect the emperor to leave a testament, and Min Xuan's heart began to feel uneasy.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: the emperor's eldest son is sensitive, talented, virtuous, virtuous, amiable and benevolent, good at checking the hearts of the people, exposed in the court in his early years, and even won his heart, and was established as the new king, that is, the emperor's throne, proclaiming to the world, and making the salty envoy known."
After Ming An finished reading, everyone was surprised, Min Xuan quickly regained his spirits, buckled his head and shouted long live.
In disbelief, he got up and snatched the edict in Ming An's hand, confirmed that it was the emperor's handwriting, and finally became disheartened, "Why? Why is this happening? It turns out that my father never wanted to pass it on to me? Why lie to me! ”
With the edict in hand, Min Xuan had no fear, and commanded with confidence, "Come on, put the eldest princess in prison, and wait for the fate!" ”
As soon as his heart was taken away, he smiled bitterly with tears in his eyes, like a gambler who had lost all his property, desperate and complaining.
Min Xuan was enthroned, no one dared to gossip, and after the national funeral, Min Xuan went to the cell to visit. At this time, he was about to take off the hairpin and treat the crime, his long hair was messy, his clothes were dirty and torn, and he had no dignity when he was a prince.
As soon as he saw Min Xuan coming, he said coldly, "Are you here to humiliate me?" Why don't you kill me? ”
Min Xuan waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat, calmly approached the prison, and said leisurely, "My father's edict says that I am benevolent, if I kill you in front of the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, will it not be true?" ”
When I heard the edict, I couldn't help but feel ridiculed, and smiled bitterly, "My father never thought of passing it on to me, it's really hard for me to deceive." ”
Min Xuan analyzed firmly, "Wrong, my father intended to pass it on to you before, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to great lengths to make a fortune to break you up and Cheng Zheng, and he wouldn't have given you treasures and pearls repeatedly." ”
"Treasure and pearl? What do you know? I'm nervously asked.
Min Xuan said unhurriedly, "Bao and Mingzhu are extremely cold things, put them in your palace all the year round, your body is getting colder and colder, resulting in you not being able to have children at all, this is the last guarantee of your father, even if you ascend the throne, you will not allow people with foreign surnames to inherit the country." ”
"I see." With a smile of relief, he had long known from Yu Ankou that the treasure and the pearl were extremely cold things, but he had never been able to guess the emperor's intentions, and today he finally knew.
Min Xuan said proudly, "As for why my father still didn't pass on the throne to you later, I don't know, it may be that you are cruel, it may be that you can't let go of the love of your children, or it may be that my father found that I am more suitable than you." ”
Yi Lin said angrily, "My methods are cruel? I'm ashamed of myself compared to you! ”
Min Xuan retorted, "At least I won't kill people by any means, you are really too narrow and selfish, you want to take it for your own use, who do you get in the end?" If it weren't for a childhood sweetheart, Cheng Zheng, who helped you get off the horse and pave the way for you, would you be able to get to where you are today? Your father focuses on prestige, while you focus on power, which is the biggest difference between you and your father. ”
"Aren't you a sinister and cunning person?" If you hadn't rebelled, would I have carelessly stepped into your trap? ”
Min Xuan said contemptuously, "So you choked on eating and blamed the imperial chef?" How did you, the prince, get on the throne, don't you use your brains? No wonder I think about winning over strategists every day, and I am quite self-aware. How helpless my father was to make you the prince back then, but unfortunately after a few years of training, it is still useless. ”
Annoyed and embarrassed, he waved his hand and rushed to Min Xuan, who grabbed her wrist and threw her to the ground with a hard throw, "I set a trap, but it was because you were stupid that you planted it." What is the crime of rebellion, if you want to punish the nine clans, does anyone really dare to bet with me, a down-and-out prince? It is difficult to convince people to rebel, even if they threaten the lives of their families, no one will necessarily agree, but it is much easier to persuade people to bluff. It was not easy for me to let the two generals lead the troops around the palace a few times, and let Yao Luo make some movement in the palace. There is also the excerpt of the impeachment of King Xiang, but I just threw a stone to ask for directions to try your reaction, and I was relieved to see that you were so serious. ”
"Despicable!" Yilin scolded.
Min Xuan sighed lightly, "Up to now, you still don't understand how to become a king or lose a villain." ”
As soon as he arrived, he no longer argued, "I'm not as good as you in terms of the city, I lost, I have nothing to say, if you want to kill or chop you!" ”
Min Xuan said very generously, "I'm here to tell you that I won't kill you, the new emperor ascends the throne and gives amnesty to the world, you should be grateful to Dai De." ”
Yilin didn't appreciate it, "Leave me humiliated by you, right?" Do you want me to be grateful to you? Dream! (To be continued.) )
