With Chu Liuxiang's persuasion, the secret edict finally asked Ren Xiang to send someone to the capital, of course, only Ren Xiang himself knows whether it was really sent out.
Ye Changsheng, who was supposed to go back with him, was left in Yunjin City by Chu Liuxiang because of his health, and he had to let him take care of his body before leaving.
"Don't look any further, since Brother Ren has promised, you will definitely deliver the things. You really don't have to worry about that. Chu Liuxiang saw Ye Changsheng stretching out his head to look in the direction of the secret agent's departure, and comforted him funny, "Besides, you are always staring like this, and you can't see anything." ”
Ye Changsheng turned his head and scratched his face a little embarrassed, "No, if I don't look at it like this, I always feel a little unsteady in my heart." ”
Chu Liuxiang pulled him into the house and comforted him: "Anyway, the things have been sent out, and you don't need to worry about things in the future, so what you have to do now is to rest more." After this period of time, I will take you to visit famous doctors, I have many friends, they may be able to introduce some very useful doctors to me, I want to take care of your body. ”
"Can my body really be healed?" Ye Changsheng was a little unconvinced, "Even the imperial doctor said that I ......"
"Don't think about it, Brother Chu said that there is a way, there is a way." Chu Liuxiang interrupted him and didn't let him say the next unlucky words, even though he himself was more worried than Ye Changsheng and afraid of this result.
"Oh......" Ye Changsheng understood his concern, nodded sensibly and stopped talking.
He turned his head to look at the sword hanging on the wall in the room, and said melancholy: "If only Brother Tianjia was still here, he would be very happy if I sent the secret edict to the capital." ”
"Tianjia is open-minded, as long as you are well, if he can know under the nine springs, he will be very pleased." Chu Liuxiang hugged him and whispered.
Ye Changsheng nodded lightly, still looking straight at the sword, and only raised his hand to rub his reddened eyes for a long time, after so many days, he really missed Tianjia, and sometimes he dreamed that Tianjia came here to find him.
If only he were still around.
Thousands of miles away, the house outside Yunjin City was quiet and comfortable, but the situation in the capital was changing day by day.
In the end, Prime Minister Ye Cheng still couldn't see the emperor, and the eunuch who was waiting said that the holy dragon was sick and really had no intention of seeing people, so he was expressionless and asked him to go back in a very polite tone. Prime Minister Ye Cheng was also a stubborn temper, and when he heard that the emperor didn't see him, he really knelt straight outside the hall, begged to see the emperor loudly, and expressed his determination to kneel to death outside the door if the emperor didn't see him.
His father has already made his position clear, and Ye Qingliu, who is also a human character and a courtier, has been kneeling with him. At this time, the weather has gradually entered the early winter, and the bluestone slab outside the hall is a little colder than this weather, and kneeling for a long time will only make people feel cold and cold, but these two people knelt straight without saying a word, and seemed to really kneel.
With these two people as an example, some other loyal ministers who supported the crown prince also knelt outside, and after a while, they knelt to hula and voted, and they tried to force the emperor to see them in this way.
The movement outside was not small, but the white-haired old emperor lying on the dragon bed in the palace was still sleeping calmly, and it didn't seem to be affected.
"Third Highness, these are these outside?" Da who was waiting on the side looked at the momentum outside, and his heart was extremely weak and timid, so he had to bow his head in embarrassment and ask Liu Fei, the third prince who was sitting at the table and drinking alone, and wanted to ask him what he meant.
Liu Fei was tasting wine with a wine glass, and when he heard this, he glanced at him lightly, raised his lips and smiled: "What's wrong?" If they love to kneel, let them kneel, anyway, my father himself doesn't want to see them, what can I do. ”
"Look at you scared rat-like, useless thing."
"Yes, yes, the small one was originally a coward, His Royal Highness smiled, the emperor is indeed not easy to see people." The big eunuch laughed, "It's just that these are all ministers of the imperial court, so it's not good for your reputation to spread it out like this, right?" ”
Liu Fei looked at the white porcelain cup with the wine in his hand, and smiled evilly: "This king didn't speak, what are you worried about." If those old things really kneel to death, then it's better to die, these stubborn donkeys with dull brains are clean when they die, and they will save me trouble. ”
The big eunuch nodded frequently, peeked at the third prince, and said with some hesitation: "But, but there is a faction of the Ye family here." Prime Minister Ye has a resounding reputation among the people and is admired, if he has three long and two short, the world is afraid that he will chew the root of his tongue. ”
Liu Fei didn't care what the outsiders chewed, according to his thoughts, the disobedient people would be killed. He just remembered Ye Changsheng's beautiful little face, and at that time, he glanced at the person he liked at the banquet of his father's seventieth birthday, and his heart was slightly moved. It's not a pity that Ye Chenyuan, this old guy, dies, he always goes against himself, but if he is really killed by himself, I'm afraid that the little thing will know that he will fight with himself.
The beauty hasn't arrived yet, but the old thing can be used, that child has always been soft, and he can get it by coaxing him casually.
Thinking of this, Liu Feicai said lazily: "Since this is the case, then what are you still standing here for?" If you don't persuade Prime Minister Ye Cheng to go back, if he still has to kneel, send me a few more people to carry him home and don't let him come out, and serve me carefully, maybe this will be Uncle Guo in the future. Liu Fei glanced at him, and he was in a good mood.
The big eunuch knew that this master was uncertain, and he didn't dare to say a word more, so he hurriedly kowtowed and bent down and retreated to do so.
Liu Feizhi proudly drank the last sip of wine in the wine glass, and then slowly stood up and walked to the bedside. He leaned on the head of the bed and stood and looked down at the old man on the bed who was sleeping and dying with his eyes closed for a long time, and then chuckled a little proudly: "How?" You old man didn't trust me since he was a child, and said that he would rather die than hand over this country to me, so what, now I haven't relied on my own ability to get it? ”
"Hehe, don't say it's you, even the eldest brother you have always favored is now under my control, living like a rat crossing the street? Wait and see, sooner or later, this world will still be mine. ”
"Father, you are old, you can go with peace of mind."
Liu Fei laughed out loud after saying this, his tone was full of smugness in his hand, and he walked out of the dead and silent dormitory with his hands behind his back.
Half a month later
The third prince, Liu Fei, announced the news of the death of the old emperor to the world, and took out the edict left by the previous emperor, followed the will of the saint to ascend the throne and became the new emperor.
As soon as this incident came out, there was an uproar in the court, and the old ministers led by Prime Minister Ye Cheng cried bitterly on the ground, crying for the former emperor who died suddenly.
And Liu Fei looked at these old ministers with a smile, as if the louder they cried, the more comfortable his heart became. Although many people have always objected to the head and expressed dissatisfaction and doubts about his ability to sit on the throne of the God King, he still sat on the throne of the Ninety-Five Emperor in a yellow robe, leaving all the criticism behind.
The first thing he did when he came to power was to massacre.
Above the court, all the ministers who complained about him or made him unhappy, no matter what grade they were, were all taken off their black gauze hats and thrown into prison, and some were even beaten to death on the spot. These heroes of the society died and were crippled, and some were even punished by the Nine Clans.
The Ye family did not escape this catastrophe.
Because he secretly hid the prince's family who should have been beheaded for the great crime of rebellion, the new emperor was extremely angry, and positioned the former prince as a wanted criminal nationwide, and copied all the clansmen of the Ye family and put them on death row to wait for their whereabouts, unless they can hand over the whereabouts of the prince to make up for it.
The once solemn and bright treasure hall was dyed red by the hands of the new emperor, and every day someone was killed on the spot, and the ground and the dragon pillar were also cheap and full of blood, and the eunuchs and palace maids who cleaned had to be carefully cleaned every day, but they still could not completely wash off the dirt on it.
For a while, everyone in the court trembled in danger, and no one dared to say another word, for fear that the next person to be slaughtered would be himself.
The news of the three princes' accession to the throne also quickly spread to Yunjin City.
Ren Xiang looked at the eight-hundred-mile urgent secret letter in his hand with a solemn face, and after reading all the contents, he angrily overturned the table at hand and scolded: "Bastard! ”
"Brother Ren, what's wrong with you?" Ye Changsheng was originally happy to step into Ren Xiang's study, but was startled by his iron-blue face, and hurriedly asked, "Did something happen?" ”
When Ren Xiang looked up and saw that it was him, he was so shocked that he immediately put down the letter in his hand and stood up, "Changsheng, you, why are you here?" Didn't I let you stay at home? ”
"I'm bored, so let Brother Chu take me to talk to you and sister-in-law." Ye Changsheng bent down and wanted to straighten the table that Ren Xiang overturned, but he stopped him: "If you are bored, I will send someone to get some interesting Zhiqi for you to see, why did you come all the way here?" ”
"Brother Ren doesn't like me coming?" Ye Changsheng looked at him with some puzzlement, "I think you seem to be very unhappy." ”
Ren Xiang was afraid that he would see the terrible letter on the desk when he came back, so he pretended to inadvertently take out his other text and put it on the letter, and said with a smirk: "How can it be, Brother Ren is worried about your body, and he is afraid that you will get sick when he runs back and forth." ”
"It's not going to make me sick, you're making too much of a fuss." Ye Changsheng laughed.
Chu Liuxiang saw the panic under Ren Xiangqiang's pretending to be calm, he had the heart to break him away, turned his head to Ye Changsheng and said, "Didn't you tell me on the road just now that you like to talk to your sister-in-law, go quickly, it just so happens that I also have something to say to Brother Ren, I'll look for you later." ”
