Thank you for the sachets that are hard to find and the sachets that are rewarded in the hot summer, as well as the peace charms that take off, the Big Apple 520, and the upright monsters. Boom!

I thought that I would use the Zichen Palace incident to destroy the family affairs of Shen Xizhen and King Qingping, but I didn't expect that not only did it not destroy it, but it also caused a series of chaos.

This was far from what Liu Shijiao and Empress Wenci could have predicted.

Fortunately, this incident provided them with an opportunity for the crown prince to ascend to the throne early.

For them, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Under the secret deployment of a number of important conservative ministers such as Prime Minister Ji Chengfan, Protector Liu Shipai, Taiwei Satan, Ministry Shangshu Fang Fengda, and Complementary Shangshu Fei Yun, the Imperial City Guards were soon controlled by them.

Since Emperor Guangzhao was still alive after all, and he had not made a will to pass on the throne to the crown prince, their actions this time were only done by conservative ministers working together, and they did not reveal the slightest rumor to the outside world.

However, judging from the current strength of the conservatives and the innovators in the Xi Kingdom, the conservatives still have the advantage, plus the prince's six rates in the East Palace, so as long as the conservatives work together, the innovators are far from their opponents.

"The emperor hasn't woken up yet."

"Very good, then let's quickly convince the prince and let him act early."

"The prince will have to wait for five days before he acts."

"Our crown prince, he is just too soft-hearted, but now that the situation is critical, he can't afford to wait so long. Let's collectively petition the Prince. ”

After some discussion, the conservative ministers decided to ask the prince to act a day earlier.

"Okay, I promise you. Act the night after tomorrow. Looking at the eager faces, the prince couldn't resist everyone after all, so he agreed.

Seeing that the crown prince agreed, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly secretly dispatched troops, always ready to attack the palace.

………………………………

Chu Zihou made an appointment with General Ji Qing overnight and informed him that Liu Shipai, Ji Chengfan and others were ready to support the crown prince's usurpation.

General Ji Qing was so angry that his beard stood on end: "It's really unreasonable." The emperor dares to move such a thought when he is still alive, a bunch of unkind and unrighteous things! ”

"Now, the Imperial City Janissaries are all under their control. There are more than 20,000 people in the prince's East Palace, and we must secretly send troops to do so. Chu Zihou said.

"At present, I can mobilize more than 30,000 people, and the rest of the military power is scattered on the side of the emperor, the prime minister and the captain, so if we compete by numbers, we are far from their opponents." Ji Qing said anxiously.

"I can secretly send 40,000 troops from the northern frontier. There were nearly 10,000 elite soldiers in it. Chu Zihou said.

"You don't have to come all of them. All I need is 10,000 soldiers. ”

"Okay, I'll order the dispatch immediately, thank you General Ji for your help."

"King Qingping, don't be polite, it is my responsibility to maintain the security of the monarch and the country."

Chu Zihou smiled and left.

…………………………

However, he said that the judge listened to Xizhen's advice and invited the prince to the courtroom on the pretext of reporting the progress of the case.

The prince was worried that the secret of the letter was already known to him, so he didn't want to come, but then he thought about it, and there would be many opportunities to cooperate with him in the future. In addition, I was interested in the progress of this case, so I still came. and brought Grandpa Deng with him.

When the prince arrived, the judge immediately asked him to sit down in front of the seat he had prepared, and while reporting to him with a serious face on the current progress of the case, he pretended to accidentally touch the bottle of ink next to the prince's seat.

"Ouch, the villain actually soiled your clothes, the villain deserves death, the crime deserves death!" The inquisitor's eyes were quick, and he immediately reached out to help shake the pat, and at the same time shoved the ink-stained paper he had prepared into the prince's left pocket, and immediately took the letter in his pocket.

Seeing that his clothes were blackened with ink, although the prince was a little displeased, he did not get angry with the judge, and only said "It's okay" and went back to the East Palace.

In fact, just now, the prince was a little worried about whether the letter in his sleeve pocket would be stained with ink, but when he thought that the letter was going to be torn up anyway, he was relieved and did not immediately take it out for inspection.

When he returned to the East Palace and took it out to inspect it, he found that it had been blackened with ink (in fact, it was no longer his original letter), so he safely tore it to pieces and threw it into the garbage heap.

As soon as the prince was gone, the judge immediately went into the back room and opened the letter.

The letter had been blackened with ink in a few places, but most of its contents were still clear, so the inquisitor could read the visible handwriting together, and he could guess the unseen words.

If the emperor can wake up, the content of this letter will obviously save Shen Xizhen, but it will make Empress Wenci and Liu Shijiao guilty.

If the emperor has been in a coma, if he wants to prove Shen Xizhen's innocence, he must hand over this letter to King Qingping, but this will cause a struggle between King Qingping and Empress Wenci.

The inquisitor didn't know what to do for a moment.

He locked the letter in an iron cabinet.

Just wait a little longer and see if the emperor will wake up, it is most appropriate for the content of this letter to be handed over to the emperor.

………………………

At noon the next day, Chu Zihou came to the East Palace to see the prince, pretending to know nothing about the prince's premeditated usurpation, and said with a smile: "Brother, how about I make a bet with you?" ”

"Bet? What to bet on? The prince asked kindly, but he was wary in his heart.

Although everything is ready now, he also knows very well that the usurpation of the throne is not in line with the people's wishes, and if it is not handled well, it is easy to cause the people to rebel.

So he was very jealous of Chu Zihou, after all, Chu Zihou had a certain amount of military power in northern Xinjiang, and he had won the hearts of the people in recent years, and he was already his strongest opponent.

"I bet that my father will wake up tomorrow, do you dare to bet?"

"I also hope that my father will wake up soon." The prince replied noncommittally.

"So, let's make a bet, if my father can wake up tomorrow, your action will be reversed tomorrow night." When he heard Chu Zihou say, 'Your actions tomorrow night', the prince was really frightened.

Did he know something? How is this possible?

"What if the emperor can't wake up?" The prince asked coldly.

"Then, you can decide your own affairs, I will not stop you, but I advise you in advance - don't take risks, otherwise you may lose your life." Chu Zihou said lightly.

"Hahaha, you really know how to tell jokes, I'm curious, why do you think I'm going to do it tomorrow night?"

"I just know, and I only say that out of concern for you."

"So, do you think I'm going to lose this time?"

"I think so, you can do it yourself, and take your leave." Chu Zihou glanced at him again, turned around and walked out.

…………………………

The crown prince went to Ciyuan Palace and said to Empress Wenci: "King Qingping seems to know something. ”

Empress Wenci asked in great surprise, "How is this possible?" ”

"He came to the East Palace today to find Erchen and said something to Erchen." After the prince said that, he told Empress Wenci about the conversation with Chu Zihou when he was in the East Palace.

Empress Wenci's face suddenly changed after hearing this: "He said that the gambling emperor will wake up tomorrow?" ”

"Uh-huh."

"Then, it seems that he does know something, so we must find a way not to let the emperor wake up, as long as we survive tomorrow, everything will be different."

During this time, Empress Wenci had already obeyed Liu Shiji's Jianyi, and secretly put a small sachet with a stun effect on the emperor's bedside every day, she could see that the effect was not bad, could it be that the sachet was about to expire?

Empress Wenci couldn't help but panic.

Lately, she has often felt involuntarily afraid, afraid that one day a catastrophe will befall her.

If the emperor can wake up tomorrow, then the prince doesn't know if there will be a day before he will sit on the throne.

"Prince, we have to find a way to stop this from happening, we have to stop it." After that, Empress Wenci's face showed a hint of fierceness.

"Have you thought of any way, Queen Mother?"

"Stay by the emperor's side with me tonight and act according to my instructions." Empress Wenci said.

"Queen Mother, do you want to ......" This time the prince was frightened.

"It has to be this way. At that time, you can see my hints to cooperate. ”

"Okay."

………………………

That night, Empress Wenci and the crown prince personally guarded Emperor Guangzhao, and Liu Shiji waited in the Xingyun Pavilion not far from the Heart Cultivation Palace.

At nightfall, Empress Wenci called off Gonggong Liu and the other palace maids.

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, there were only Empress Wenci, the crown prince and the faint Emperor Guangzhao left.

Empress Wenci handed the crown prince a color, and the prince immediately got up and looked outside, and then locked the door.

Empress Wenci took out the knife hidden in her pocket and stabbed it towards Emperor Guangzhao's heart with trembling hands.

At this moment, Emperor Guangzhao suddenly opened his eyes, and Empress Wenci fell backwards with an 'ah', and the knife fell to the ground with a clatter.

The prince hurriedly lowered his head, picked up the knife, and hid it in his pocket.

"Your Majesty, you have finally woken up, and the concubine is about to die of worry." Empress Wenci hurriedly said to Emperor Guangzhao with a smile on her face, while redoing it, and reached out to shake Emperor Guangzhao's hand.

Emperor Guangzhao pushed her hand away.

"Yes, I must have been asleep for a long time, so long that I ...... Ahem, cough, cough," Emperor Guangzhao pretended to cough and swallowed some of the words back raw.

"Yes, I must have been asleep for a long time, so long that I ...... Ahem, cough, cough," Emperor Guangzhao pretended to cough and swallowed some of the words back raw.

"Yes, I must have been asleep for a long time, so long that I ...... Ahem, cough, cough," Emperor Guangzhao pretended to cough and swallowed some of the words back raw. (To be continued......)
