Knowing that the stakes were high, Gong Chengyan didn't hope that Ling Shandao would act sooner, and after waiting for five or six days, Huichen sent the news, saying that he was finally preparing, and he excitedly transferred his private army to the foot of Ruishan to guard, waiting for Ling Shandao to be caught by himself.

That night, after midnight, the weather was as cold as an ice cellar, but Gong Chengyan had been looking forward to this moment for a long time, and he had even endured the cold and kept guarding, until he saw a sneaky person coming down from Rui Mountain, he breathed a sigh of relief, and waited for Ling Shandao to fall into his trap step by step.

However, it is not only Seosan.

At that time, in the palace, Qi Mo was wearing a jade crown, wearing the prince's court clothes, standing in the center of the main hall energetically, and there were also more than a dozen courtiers standing on the left and right.

And above the main hall, it is Emperor Qinglong, at this time, although his face looks sick, but his expression is serious, Fuquan stands beside him, always paying attention to the changes in Emperor Qinglong's demeanor, looking nervous and a little excited.

The silence in the main hall was finally broken by the voice of Emperor Qinglong, "I summoned you Aiqing late at night because there is something to announce, and you probably have guessed that my body is not as good as day by day, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, if I fall into chaos because of me, then I will not have the face to see the first emperor."

The prince is knowledgeable and diligent and loves the people, has a benevolent heart, and can judge decisively, I believe that all of you Aiqing will see the prince's ability in your eyes, so I decided to officially take the throne and pass the throne to the prince, and the holy decree will be issued tomorrow morning. ”

"The emperor is sage, and the ministers have no objections." The ministers present all echoed and praised, the throne was originally going to be passed to Qi Mo sooner or later, although this time was a bit confusing, but the emperor's decision was a holy decree that could not be disobeyed, and they only needed to obey.

Qi Mo didn't look ecstatic on his face, his face was calm as usual, which made the other ministers present appreciate it very much, after all, from now on, his every move is a monarch's style.

On the one hand, these ministers have the role of assistant, but on the other hand, they also play the role of overseer, and if the monarch behaves in the slightest way, they will immediately stand up and correct it.

Seeing that Emperor Qinglong had shown a tired look, Fuquan asked the little eunuch to send a decoction, wanting to serve Emperor Qinglong to drink, but the latter waved his hand and said to the ministers: "It's late at night, if the Aiqing people go out of the palace again, I am afraid it will be inconvenient, I will allow the Aiqing to rest in the palace tonight." ”

For the foreign ministers, it is a great honor to be able to stay in the palace, everyone hurriedly saluted and thanked him, and also understood the meaning of Emperor Qinglong's words, and bowed down one after another, led by the little eunuch to the other courtyard.

After everyone retreated, Emperor Qinglong summoned Qi Mo to him, and his tone was extremely weak, "You asked for my Zen position in the middle of the night, and you want me to leave these ministers in the palace, now I can tell why." ”

Qi Mo first thanked him and glanced at Fuquan, who understood and sent away all the idle people in the hall.

"Father, the reason why Erchen is so anxious is really because Erchen recently learned of a shocking thing----" **** was silent for a moment, and when he saw Emperor Qinglong's brows frowning slightly, he continued: "Someone actually wants to rebel when his father is sick. ”

"Rebellion? Who is so bold? Emperor Qinglong's voice was raised, the reason why he didn't say anything about his illness was because he was afraid that he would be taken advantage of by the gangsters, but he had obviously blocked the news everywhere, who would dare to rebel without knowing it?

looked at Emperor Qinglong with a calm face: "My father is deceived by the people around him, in fact, it is not difficult to know who it is, who knows the physical condition of my father, who is the most suspicious." ”

Emperor Qinglong's thoughts only turned slightly, and he understood the meaning of ****, the person who knew his condition was nothing more than the cronies around him, as well as ****, but these were impossible, only one accident - Gong Chengyan.

But how could ---- dare him?

Seeing Emperor Qinglong's doubts, he said: "This news is not fabricated by Erchen out of thin air, in fact, Erchen has long been aware of Gong Chengyan's wolf ambitions, so he has been sending people to monitor him."

Recently, he learned that he actually had his own private army, which was hidden outside the city and was not found before, but in recent days, these people have been transferred into the city by him one after another, does my father think that he is doing this to protect the safety of the royal family? ”

"Does he really have an army?" Emperor Qinglong still has some unbelief.

"According to reliable sources, at least tens of thousands of people have entered the city in the past two days, and it is because of this that the sons and daughters are afraid of sudden changes, so they ask their father to give an order in the middle of the night."

Emperor Qinglong understood what he meant, if he really let Gong Chengyan force the palace and force himself to be in Gong Chengyan, although the courtiers were not satisfied, but the holy decree had been issued, and everyone could not catch the evidence of Gong Chengyan's rebellion, and they were helpless.

But if the throne has been passed to ****, the latter is young and promising and is expected by everyone, at this time, there is only one possibility to force **** to give way, that is, rebellion, and Gong Chengyan will inevitably be attacked by a group at that time.

"What do you mean by letting me keep them?" Emperor Qinglong took the judgment.

That's because they want to witness a moment tonight that can be recorded in history.

smiled: "Erchen just took into account that it was getting late, and it was really good to let the ministers go back, and if they were left in the palace, first, the news would not leak out, after all, the Zen position in the middle of the night was indeed incredible, and secondly, they would be grateful, and they would be more loyal to Erchen in the future." ”

Emperor Qinglong did not doubt him, his face showed fatigue, and **** immediately said: "Father and Emperor will go back to the palace to rest first, and then the sons will go to meet with the ministers to discuss the affairs of tomorrow's morning." ”

The issuance of the holy decree will cause an uproar in the court early tomorrow morning, not to mention the preparation of sacrifices and canonization ceremonies, these things must be discussed with the ministers.

Emperor Qinglong allowed **** to retreat, and he also went back to the dormitory first.

However, it was said that Gong Chengyan was overjoyed when he heard the news that Ling Shandao was going to leave the Taimiao without permission, thinking that he had finally caught the latter's handle, and if he could catch him, then Ling Shandao would have no room to turn over.

But he waited left and right, until the middle of the moon, and finally saw a figure coming down the mountain, he waited very impatiently, and before he could see who the figure was, he waved his hand to let the ambushed person rush up.

However, when the figure was caught and the torch was lit up, Gong Chengyan's expression was instantly sluggish, and he thought about it for a while, and then he felt that something was wrong.

Gong Yunrui looked puzzled and blurted out: "Why you?" ”

Ling Chang was even more puzzled, looking at him blankly and scared, "I ---- I just really miss home and want to go back to see my son." ”

"---- you" Gong Yunrui looked stunned, turned his head and asked Gong Chengyan: "Dad, what now?" ”

The person didn't catch it, and now he is still startling the snake, maybe Ling Shandao has already learned the news, and he doesn't dare to go down the mountain if he wants to.

Gong Chengyan frowned, and said hurriedly: "It's not good, hurry up and enter the palace." (To be continued.) )
