Since the emperor's dragon body is heavy and he can't go to the court anymore, Mu Zhao enters the palace every day to meet the filial piety that a prince should do, one is to gain a favorable reputation, and the other is to get the emperor's mouth to set which prince or the holy purpose of the throne is.

However, his father lingered on the sickbed and fell asleep for a long time, and every time Mu Zhao went, he never encountered obstacles, but his father never woke up when he went. In the face of a person who can't open his eyes, no matter how Mu Zhao takes care of him, it is in vain, and he can't see where his filial piety is.

Mu Zhao was anxious about this. I once asked the imperial doctor who was seeing my father in the Tai Hospital, and only said that the reason for the long sleep was that the body was weak and could not bear the erosion of toxins, and then about the use of medicine, the medicine was more or less conducive to sleep, so that he could not feel the pain in his body.

For this reason, Mu Zhao had to give up, and obediently came to fulfill his filial piety step by step, not daring to have the slightest disobedience, lest his father suddenly wake up and see his worst side, and the only step would be wasted.

Keep comforting himself, his father's body is not good, there are not many days to live, so many years have been waiting for a few days, Mu Zhao and the courtiers discussed the worst outcome, the third prince Mu Jinming succeeded to the throne, and he never compromised to become an inferior courtier, for this there are too many things to do, only success is not allowed to fail, he can no longer afford to lose a blow.

The forces of all parties moved, preparing for the final game, the future of the winner is bright, the glory and wealth are inexhaustible, and the loser, throwing away the armor and falling apart, the head of the person falls to the ground, accompanied by all the net worth, and gambles once.

Mu Zhao sat on the chair in the study, especially thinking about the possibility of success, comparing the gap between the three princes' seemingly disparity in strength. The more he compares with the three princes, the less he takes advantage, and his mood gradually improves, and he is very excited.

He has lost a lot of his strength and still has the strength of Yibo, and the third prince is like a trapped beast without the support of his father. Strong self-support is nothing but a clown jumping off the beam, so there is nothing to worry about.

At this time, the henchmen came to report to the palace and spread the decree announcing that the eldest prince would enter the palace to meet him.

Mu Zhao almost screamed when he heard this, but fortunately, he suppressed his joy and said, "Inform the officials to prepare." "It seems that my father's life has come to an end, and I am afraid that this time I entered the palace for the sake of passing on the edict, God really helps me, and a better future awaits me.

Retracted his distant thoughts, tidied up his clothes and ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair and go to the palace.

Officials who were at home were also summoned. They all patted their legs and exclaimed, there must be important matters to discuss when entering the palace on this big night, and the will of the new emperor was issued that night. Immediately put on the official uniform and entered the palace to see the driver.

The eldest prince happily sat in a sedan chair and entered the palace, impatiently to see the result, and immediately put on a sad face when he arrived in the palace, so as to fit himself into the actual situation.

Mu Zhao entered the palace and went outside the Longhua Palace. At a glance, he saw that the third prince, Mu Jinming, came earlier than him. This will stand outside the hall, and he was about to go to the hall after a hasty hello, but was stopped by Mu Jinming stepping forward.

Mu Zhao's heart immediately burst into flames, and he snorted coldly: "What are you doing, this prince came here on the orders of his father." If he had to pretend to be a brother and a friend, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to Mu Jinming, who was an eyesore.

"Wait for hundreds of officials to come before entering." Mu Jinming had a stiff face and was expressionless, but he didn't give way.

"What are you?" Mu Zhao lowered his voice and sneered in Mu Jinming's ear, if it weren't for Mu Jinming, who had already waved away from the way outside the Longhua Palace, he would be upset when he looked at him.

"I'm just like you. What are you? Mu Jinming sneered at each other without concealment, "Slandering the prince is your upbringing." "Lower your voice as well. The same mocking eyes aroused Mu Zhao's anger.

"You ......" Mu Zhaogang wanted to be sarcastic back, it was best to provoke it, at this moment, it would be more difficult to weaken the inheritance right, and it was another implication to the ears of his father, and if he managed well, he could deprive him of his status as a prince and degrade him to a commoner.

Mu Zhao flashed a variety of ideas for a while, and before he could open his mouth to implement it, Li Desheng appeared in front of him, and hurriedly put away the provocation on his face, if he was seen as Li Desheng's identity as his father's confidant, he would definitely inform his father, wouldn't he invite trouble for himself, anyway, tonight's matter will depend on when Mu Jinming is arrogant, and the grasshopper before death will not be able to stumble for a few days.

Mu Zhao's mind turned in a hurry, and he immediately changed into a sad and sad expression, and took a step back to distance himself from Mu Jinming.

"What happened to Gonggong Li's father?" Mu Zhao stepped forward to ask about his father's condition, which is what a prince should do.

"It's like yesterday." Li Desheng gave ambiguous answers, which led to countless speculations.

"Can you get in?" Mu Zhao didn't dare to offend Li Desheng, and he had to deal with the grievances in his heart carefully, isn't he just a eunuch, why should he put on a face that is higher than himself, and wait until he ascends the throne to see how he regulates this kind of disrespectful eunuch.

Mu Zhao's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and he couldn't escape Li Desheng, who had a keen sense of martial arts, obviously the eldest prince had a malicious attitude towards him, and although he had excellent control power, he still showed his feet.

"The emperor has an order to wait for the hundred officials to enter the palace as soon as they arrive." Li Desheng said in a calm voice, "His Royal Highness the Great Prince, wait, the courtiers will arrive soon." ”

"There is Father-in-law." Mu Zhao gritted his teeth secretly, what was the reason for him to wait outside the palace as the eldest son of the emperor, and he had to obey orders even if he was unwilling, so he stood opposite Mu Jinming and posed against the three princes.

After a short time, the courtiers arrived one after another, and after calling the names of the people, Li Desheng entered the hall again, apparently to return to the palace.

The ministers did not dare to make a mistake outside the Longhua Palace, passing glances to each other, and the officials of the Great Prince's faction almost stood in one place, so as to exchange information that flashed in their minds.

Mu Jinming looked coldly at the 'eyebrows' of the officials under the stone steps, and sneered in his heart, these people are getting more and more bold, and it is probably not clear how they died.

Li Desheng appeared again and opened his mouth and said, "Please invite Your Highness to enter the palace to see you." ”

Li Desheng turned around and went back, Mu Zhao was not willing to lag behind and strode into the hall, and Mu Jinming followed closely and the courtiers entered in order.

The screen separating the inner and outer halls in the hall was removed, and the two halls were opened to appear much more spacious, enough to house the courtiers.

The courtiers lowered their heads and didn't dare to look around, but Mu Zhao didn't see the white-clothed figure sitting on the dragon couch first, and suddenly stopped in shock, wondering why the Wing King was here?

Could it be that the Wing King has long been in the palace and is sitting on the dragon couch recklessly. It's very close to my father! Mu Zhao's mind was confused for a moment.

"Your Highness." Li Desheng's light call, Mu Zhao suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly led the ministers to kneel down and bow, almost rude.

The kneeling courtier deliberately raised his eyes and took a light look, and the dazzling plain white imprinted into his eyes. The only Winged King who can wear this costume from top to bottom of the Manchu Dynasty is puzzled why the Winged King is here, no, it should be said that how dare the Winged King sit beside the emperor recklessly.

Mu Haoyu didn't scream when he heard the noise of the ministers, sat up with the support of the Xi Dynasty, and faced the courtiers.

Xi Chao was afraid that his father's body would be weak and unstable, so he moved a lot of brocade and was dismissed behind his father. Relying on alleviating fatigue, he did not kneel down like the courtiers, but still sat next to his father. One hand clasped the hand of the father.

Mu Haoyu's body was covered with a quilt and dragged to his feet, although it was already summer, he still felt cold all over his body, and he was ironed under the palm of his little daughter.

"How is my father's health, my sons are so worried." Mu Zhao spoke boldly. In this way, the face of the emperor can be clearly observed. Extrapolate one or two from it.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Yi Wang Tian sitting shamelessly beside his father, with a cold face that could not see joy or anger, but he really showed the emperor's favor for him, and he was still inseparable at this time.

When the courtiers heard that the eldest prince opened his mouth, he slowly raised his head, looked at the emperor and waited for the established repertoire to open, and the horn of victory sounded, and his heart was beating with excitement and apprehension.

"Li Desheng has taken the holy decree." Mu Haoyu did not reply to Mu Zhao's cozy greetings, and went straight to the point. Presumably, everyone is in a hurry.

The main event came, and the civil and military officials held their breath and didn't dare to breathe. Nervous heartstrings anxiously waiting.

Li Desheng took a brocade box with a yellow background and a gold silk dragon pattern, and the box was locked to ensure the safety of the things inside.

"Go get the keys." Mu Haoyu patted Xi Chao's hand and told him in public that the key was in the dark pavilion in the bed.

Xi Chao let go of his hand, crawled into the bed slightly sideways, felt the mechanism open, took out a flowing gold key, and put it in front of his father.

"Go open it." Mu Haoyu continued, "Take it out and announce it in public." ”

The ministers have been accustomed to the emperor's love to use the winged king's things, from writing holy decrees to serving tea and grinding ink, whoever the emperor opens his mouth to do must be the winged king, probably not to get it will be particularly cherished, the ministers thought a little bit in their minds and did not study it thoroughly.

The important thing at the moment is the content of the holy decree, the eldest prince is waiting to hear the good news, and the emperor is obviously at the end of the crossbow, and he is worried that he doesn't have to, anyway, they are ready for everything.

Xi Chao opened the box and took out the holy decree, unfolded the Xuancuo, "Fengkai carrier, the emperor edict said, Yu Wen Huangtian's life is not normal, only to the virtue, the third son of the emperor Mu Jin Mingwen Taowu is pure and kind, frugal and filial piety Fu Yingcheng, I want to Xing Shi Bing sage can Zhenshuo Dynasty Gang can shoulder a heavy responsibility, I plan to establish a new emperor for the world's common people, Zhao his emperor Cheng Tian should be human, the mandate of heaven is important to ascend the throne to determine the foundation of the country, Gong Yi Zongmiao announced to the world to inherit the orthodoxy, Qin this. ”

The cold is as light as a pearl and jade, and the sound of a pleasant tinkling sound is like a needle prick cutting the ear membrane in the ears of the courtiers.

I never expected that the emperor would like the three princes, and announced that the ministers would inherit the unification of the three princes, how could I not be surprised, shocked by the very courtiers and the eldest prince Mu Zhao, and looked at the king of a country in disbelief.

Mu Zhao really wanted to ask why, why not himself but Mu Jinming, who had nothing to do, where is he worse than Mu Jinming, as the eldest son, he should be young and orderly, why did he think hard about political affairs every day and night, but in the end, he let Mu Jinming, who had a low status, succeed him, oh orthodox, how funny, he is orthodox.

Many officials heard that the holy decree suddenly turned gray, and their backs collapsed in an instant, as if the central beam had been removed, and it was hard to believe what they had heard and heard, and their ears couldn't help but echo the words of the three princes inheriting the orthodox succession, like the sound of bells and drums, the brain was dazed, and the buzzing sound was unconscious.

"The three princes are grateful." Xi Chao's face was expressionless, and his voice was like gold and jade, which fiercely shocked the stiff faces of the ministers.

"Erchen is grateful, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Mu Jinming got up and took a step forward to bow again, and put his hands on the top of his head to receive the holy decree from Zi Xichao.

"I don't have much time to witness the enthronement ceremony of my son." Mu Haoyu ignored the stunned ministers and threw the boulder again, entering the Jinghu Lake and setting off a monstrous wave.

"The Ministry of Rites supervises the enthronement ceremony, and the enthronement ceremony will be held tomorrow on an auspicious day." Mu Haoyu's slightly darkened eyes swept towards the Ministry of Rites.

"Minister, minister is incompetent." The Ministry of Rites replied. was stared at by the emperor coldly, and the cold sweat instantly soaked his back, "It's already night, and there is no one to prepare for the ceremony, whether to push one or two." Please Qin Tianjian another auspicious day. "How can the enthronement ceremony be hasty, that is, a series of things that need to be prepared are not seen, like ceremonial utensils, crowns, robes, and robes need to be complete, where is the time to hold tomorrow, even if the people have the manpower to bury their heads and stay up all night, it may not be exhaustive, it is really difficult to take on the heavy responsibility, and they have to petition for the will.

"I have to finish it tonight, I can't wait." Mu Haoyu sighed. "Then prevaricate and dismiss the investigation." The threat was clear, and the ministers were once again like thunder.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu can't only receive the decree, and the emperor wants to correct the name of the three princes. It seems that the eldest prince has lost ground and has no possibility of turning the tables.

The courtiers wanted to oppose the enthronement ceremony tomorrow, but when they saw the emperor making cruel words, one by one, the gourd like a saw-mouthed gourd died down.

"Father!" Mu Zhao was unwilling to whisper, and he couldn't spit out the words that were blocked in his heart.

"I'm desperate." Mu Haoyu stared at Mu Zhao coldly.

Mu Zhao's glance seemed to be directed at his heart, and there was no cover for the cold all over his body. The wriggling lips and tongue are weak to speak.

"The Wing King Xi Dynasty received the order." Mu Haoyu didn't want Xi Chao to take the surname of the Ouyang family. It is hereby omitted.

The hearts of the ministers tightened at this opening, what kind of decree did they have to make, and they couldn't help but focus their eyes on the Wing King, the emperor's love for the Wing King could not be guaranteed not to plan for him before the big trip.

"The minister takes the order." Xi Chao was surprised by his father's actions, did not forget the number of etiquette that should be observed, turned around and knelt down in front of his father.

The ministers were the first to come up with a thought, it turned out that the Wing King would kneel! They all thought that the Winged King was still standing still here.

"I'll give you a sword." When Mu Haoyu spoke, Li Desheng took a long sword box and opened it to serve it to the emperor.

Mu Haoyu took out the long sword from himself. Gently stroked the sword spike and said: "Seeing the sword is like seeing me, you can have the right to cut first and then play." Nor can the new emperor interfere. ”

One stone stirs up a thousand waves, what kind of power this must be, the new emperor must not interfere or take back the sword given by the emperor, the emperor is so generous, taking into account the winged king Rusi, it is simply to put the winged king in a height not lower than the new emperor, which is more jaw-dropping than the successor is the third prince.

"The Winged King can enter the court with a sword, and any palace rules can be exempted." Mu Haoyu wants to give the Xi Dynasty the best and most stable shelter, and try to make others afraid and dare not act rashly.

The ministers were surprised, in the past, the emperor promised the wing king not to abide by the palace rules as he wanted, it can be said that the door to the wing king is wide open, and now there is a sword that can be worn, this sword should naturally wear the imperial sword, where does the charm of a girl piece make the emperor extraordinarily favored, more privileged than the prince.

The courtiers suddenly felt that the emperor was crazy, lost his mind, and did not hesitate to build a solid barrier for a girl who could not get it, and no one could shake it, even if the new emperor was afraid that he would have to give three points in the future, so big face.

Some courtiers couldn't help but cast their eyes on Ouyang Ye who was kneeling in the front row, envy, jealousy and hatred were all written on their faces, secretly hating Ouyang Ye's good daughter, who took the lead everywhere, and was still an unusual big pie, how could it not make people jealous.

Ouyang Ye was like a man's back, and the feeling of being stared at by many eyes was very special, and he felt bitter in his heart, everyone saw all the glory that tended to be superficial, but they forgot that his father was at odds with the Wing King, and the Wing King had a great bargain and had nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion, how could it really be as the courtiers thought.

"Take it." Mu Haoyu handed over the sword in his hand, which was a guarantee he could give.

Xi took two steps forward and took the sword in his father's hand with both hands, his heart turned over the river and the sea, and it was difficult to suppress the rising wail, his eyes were full of sockets, and he endured the last courtesy.

"The Lord's Order is grateful." Xi Chao's hand holding the sword tightened and tightened.

"Get up and come to me." Mu Haoyu couldn't bear Xi Chao to kneel again, he was reluctant, and patted the edge of the bed on one side to signal Xi Chao to sit back in place.

The ministers looked at each other without saying a word, so far, the glory of the Wing King has crossed the ancestral system, and there has never been a woman who has inherited this honor throughout the ages, and the courtiers can't help but feel that the emperor has a crush on the Wing King, why is it inferior to his own prince.

The matter of the Wing King has become an unsolvable mystery in the hearts of the ministers, probably only the two parties know the inside story, and the truth is hidden through the emperor's great deeds, becoming an unsolvable mystery.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has succeeded to the throne, and the position of the head of the household department is vacant." Some ministers opened their mouths to fight for the eldest prince, and now the matter is a foregone conclusion, and there are princes who want to rebel against the difficulty of ascending to the sky, so it is better to pretend to cater to Taoguang and then plan for the long term.

The courtiers who were frightened and frightened came back to their senses, used their brains to analyze the situation, and sought a glimmer of life for the eldest prince.

Many officials noticed that the eldest prince had lost power, since the third prince succeeded to the throne, the eldest prince should be given the fief by the king, and the eldest prince should have been after the wedding, but he did not make an edict for a long time, and it has been delayed until now, the prince and the prince are very different, and the prince cannot privately make friends with the minister to form a gang, and the prince is not, he has his own fief and the people have the income in hand, and they can raise private soldiers, as long as they do not cross the regulations, they can get it, how to be careful not to let people catch the handle.

From the emperor's attitude towards the eldest prince, it is analyzed that the eldest prince is at a disadvantage, and he no longer wants to try to redeem one or two, and he really wants to become an idle prince like King Duan, and he is excluded from the court, and King Duan has never been called today.

With the heart of the eldest prince, he is never willing to be an ordinary idler who has no worries about food and clothing, and the ministers who support the eldest prince behind him can't even if they want to defect to the third prince, and they didn't stand in line at the beginning, obviously the eldest prince occupies the position of the eldest son, and the ending is unexpected.

The courtiers now have a sense of crisis in extreme panic, and they have been busy so much that they have left an indelible handle in the eyes of the emperor and the three princes, and the dilemma of riding a tiger is revealed.

Protect your life and show your proper expression of never giving up on the great prince, pretending to be loyal to the new emperor and surviving in the cracks. To get to this point, who to blame, blame yourself for being blind and mistakenly thinking that the eldest prince has priority, misleading the direction of your speculation about the emperor, and you don't have to say anything.

"The household department is temporarily replaced by the Wing King." How could Mu Haoyu not know the intentions of the officials of Mu Zhao's faction, he would control the treasury of a country when he entered the household department, and it was easy to control the new emperor with his little finger, how could he give Mu Zhao and his faction this opportunity.

"This, it's very inappropriate, how can the Wing King be the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and he can't do two jobs by himself." The courtiers immediately objected to the idea that they came up, and they should fight for the eldest prince, and someone else was the first to do something.

"I don't want to talk about it." Mu Haoyu didn't give the courtiers a chance to plead, "The Wing King can manage the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Household is not a problem." (To be continued......)
