Knocking Concubine Xiao down and stepping on her feet has always been Concubine Hui's wish for many years.

Concubine Hui came out of the Qianxi Palace, her heart was extremely happy, but she did not lose her mind because of this pleasure, so many years of caution and forbearance allowed her to complete a completely impossible task, she could not bury the hard-won situation because of a little mistake.

Now all the energy of her and Chen Jia is focused on the Qianqing Palace.

Since the emperor saw Concubine Xiao, either because he was angry or sad, he went back to the Qianqing Palace to sleep, and the next day he burned up. At this time, not only was he unable to handle government affairs, but he was even drowsy and not very sober.

The whole palace was full of tension. The doctors of the Tai Hospital started from the hospital, and they all stayed in the palace and did not dare to go home.

Since Changxing Marquis Geng Junwen led the army to quell the rebellion, Ye Yichen also returned to Beijing with Yulan and a pair of children.

Ye Yichen began to get busy, and countless news converged to the Jin Prince's Mansion at a very fast speed, and Ye Yichen was also well aware of the affairs in the palace.

During the emperor's serious illness, he took Ye Minzhao to the Qianqing Palace to raise him personally, and now Ye Minzhao has become his only normal son, so he naturally put great effort into him. It's just that now his health is so poor, even if Ye Minzhao lives in the Qianqing Palace, he can't teach him anything!

Because the emperor could no longer approve the folds, the emperor gave Ye Minzhao the right to approve the folds, and also told Ye Minzhao that if there was anything he didn't understand, he just asked the cabinet ministers. It's just that Ye Minzhao obviously doesn't have much trust in these white-bearded old men, but he trusts his mother Concubine Hui very much, so when he encounters any major or difficult things, he directly takes the fold and goes to Concubine Hui to discuss.

It was Ye Minzhao who nominally criticized the performance, but in fact, the government was slowly controlled by Concubine Hui.

It is undeniable that Concubine Hui has the talents of Empress Lu or even Wu Zetian, and in just a few months, the imperial decree has been smooth and new, compared with the backwater of the orthodox government, but it is much better.

Rumors that the emperor was seriously ill and dying soon began to spread in the capital. In the blink of an eye, in the autumn of the tenth year of orthodoxy, because the emperor's condition did not improve in the slightest, and even worsened, the call for the crown prince to be established in the middle of the court gradually increased.

There is no suspense about the choice of the crown prince this time, and there is only one Ye Minzhao left. These days, Ye Minzhao has been eating and sleeping in the Qianqing Palace, although he is young, he served in front of the emperor's sickbed, serving the sick day and night, and the whole person has lost weight, and the rumors of the purity and filial piety of the five princes have slowly spread out. Moreover, he is smart and well-known, and he is the best candidate to be the prince.

Naturally, Ye Minzhao accounted for the vast majority. However, there are also some discordant factors, such as one of the things to "the lord is less and the country is suspicious, once the fifth son of the emperor ascends the throne, the concubine becomes the queen mother, and it is bound to control the government, the chicken Si Chen, and the harem interferes in politics, and its disaster is especially fierce...... "In short, there is no opinion on the establishment of the fifth son of the emperor as the prince, but first of all, the emperor should first learn from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, take precautions, and dispose of the concubine first."

Obviously, Concubine Hui's mother secretly controlled the government with her son, and the ministers had discovered it, and the civil official group naturally had a lot of criticism about it. This is just a pawn thrown out by the civilian clique to test the bottom limit of the emperor's five sons and mothers.

Sure enough, Ye Minzhao was furious when he read this recital, and immediately wanted to put this matter in prison on the grounds of "talking about the government and slandering the concubine". Concubine Hui could see that this was a protégé of Shen Capital, and this matter was obviously secretly instigated by Old Man Shen or the old men of the cabinet.

Concubine Hui did not agree to suppress the matter by force, and asked Ye Minzhao to approve three words on the excerpt, "Got it!" ”

The next day, she wrote to the emperor, asking the emperor to remove her from the power to control the six palaces, and from then on she would be a "leisure concubine" quietly! In this way, he said to the ministers: Look, I don't want the power of the six palaces at my fingertips, I am very tired of power, and I don't like to be polluted at all.

There are no generals in Shu, except for the concubine, there is no one in the palace who can act as the queen. The concubine naturally would not agree to this orthodoxy. However, in the end, her actions won the respect of some old ministers, especially when she spared the one who suggested to the emperor that she should "do something" to the emperor, Concubine Hui's mother and son did slowly establish a very good image among the courtiers.

Things are developing step by step in the direction imagined by Concubine Hui and Ye Minzhao, but the orthodox emperor doesn't know what to think, and at this time, he is still hesitant and unwilling to make Ye Minzhao the crown prince.

He had thought about passing on the crown prince and the throne to King Zhao, but he hadn't thought about passing on the throne to Ye Minzhao. He loved this little son very much, but he had never cultivated him as a prince. He also knew that he didn't have to live for a few days, and thinking about the upcoming meeting of □□ and Taizong underground, he was always a little unsure.

In July, there was a severe drought in the Yellow River Basin, and there was not a drop of rain in many places for a month or two.

Orthodoxy knew that his heart was extremely heavy. He felt a little sorry for the ancestors and ancestors, he got the throne in a daze, and ruled the country in a daze, for so many years, he was confused, he had not done a major thing, this throne should not have been inherited by him, he sat on the throne, but the world is becoming more and more chaotic, natural disasters continue, the people are not living, Shu Han is not peaceful, and the northwest border is not endless.

He only got three sons in his life, and one son went crazy, and one son was reversed, and now, the person who is about to die is not even holding a grandson, he feels that it is precisely because of this throne that he should not sit, so these are all warnings and punishments given to him by God!

He didn't dare to rashly pass the throne to Ye Minzhao, he was still too young, he didn't know what would happen to the country, if the country was completely chaotic and ruined, what face would he have to see Tai-Zu and Taizong in the future.

He was groggy all day, slept a lot and woke up less, because he often thought about these things, and always dreamed of Tai-Zu and Emperor Taizong.

The crown prince couldn't settle down, and the ministers were in a hurry, but the emperor was seriously ill and refused to see anyone, and they couldn't do anything in a hurry, Chen Jia also persuaded him a few times in great subtlety, and the orthodoxy originally obeyed him, but this time he rejected his request very shamelessly.

Chen Jia didn't dare to persuade anymore.

At this time, Ye Minyu's rebellion was becoming more and more in full swing.

Geng Junwen, the Marquis of Changxing, who worshiped the general, led an army of 50,000 and claimed to be 100,000 into Shanxi. Ye Minyu's troops at this time were only 20,000 and lacked supplies, Ye Minyu first avoided its edge and made signs of moving northward, luring Geng Junwen's troops to the Hutuo River Valley.

Geng Junwen, Marquis of Changxing, followed Ye Minyu all the way to eat ashes, and always wanted to find the main force of the rebels for a decisive battle. According to his judgment, Ye Minyu must be going north to attack the front line of Xuanda and form an alliance with the Tu people.

He watched Ye Minyu personally cross the Hutuo River in a panic, Geng Junwen immediately ordered the army to cross the river, and when he was halfway crossed, Ye Minyu came out of his back with a surprise soldier, and personally led the army to fight back, attacking twice, and defeating Geng Junwen. More than 5,000 beheadings and more than 10,000 horses were obtained. The 50,000-strong army was scattered, the main general Geng Junwen was captured, and the deputy general Li Jian was killed in battle. The sergeant fell into the river and drowned, and countless people died.

After this battle, the number of rebels has reached more than 40,000, and Ye Minyu led the rebels to win consecutive battles, and the momentum was shocking. Ye Minyu threatened to lead the army south and set foot in the Beijing Division!

The state capitals were very nervous, and when the news came back to Beijing, everyone was in an uproar!

The Shanxi magistrate's six-hundred-mile urgent military intelligence was sent to the orthodox bedside, and Ye Minzhao read it to him word by word, "Okay! Good! Son! He said two good words in a row, and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Father, Emperor, Emperor!" Ye Minzhao was taken aback, and immediately shouted, "Pass on the imperial doctor!" Tell the Imperial Doctor! "The emperor hasn't made him the crown prince yet, and he can't die at this time!

The courtyard of the Tai Hospital was on duty in the Qianqing Palace, and when he heard the call, he immediately came in to check the pulse of the orthodox emperor. Orthodoxy has fainted at this time. Ye Minzhao looked nervously at the courtyard of the Tai Hospital, and saw that his expression was very calm, and his heart couldn't help but sink.

When Concubine Hui got the news and rushed over, Ye Minzhao and Chen Jia were already sitting in the side hall with the Lord Yuanzheng, and the orthodox had already poured medicine and fell asleep. Concubine Hui entered the door and asked, "Lord Yuanzheng, how is the emperor?" ”

Lord Yuan stopped talking a little, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

Concubine Hui said calmly: "What this palace wants to hear is the truth!" Although her words were gentle, somehow, Yuan Zheng felt a great pressure falling from the sky, and sweat was already on his forehead. Back to Niangniang, the emperor has already run out of oil and dried up, and now he suddenly heard the bad news and vomited blood, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive for a few days, please Niangniang, Wang Ye and Chen Gonggong have a preparation in their hearts! ”

Concubine Hui's face was very ugly, "How long can the emperor hold on?" ”

Yuan Zheng said: "Ten days! ”

After sending off the courtyard, Concubine Hui slowly said to her son and Chen Jia: "No matter what, before the emperor dies, you must get the edict written by him to appoint the emperor as the prince!" ”

At night, Orthodoxy finally slowly woke up. When Concubine Hui heard the news, she changed her clothes and went to the Qianqing Palace. When he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, he saw Chen Jia guarding the outside of the emperor's bedroom. Because the emperor was seriously ill, all the palace maids and eunuchs who came and went were tiptoeing, and there was no sound, and Concubine Hui gave Chen Jia a look. Chen Jia lowered his voice and said: "As soon as the emperor woke up, he called the prince in, and even the servants were sent out, I don't know what the emperor wants to say to the prince at this time!" ”

The two of them waited outside for a while, and then saw Ye Minzhao walking out of the orthodox bedroom with a gloomy face. Concubine Hui was about to go in, but Ye Minzhao grabbed her: "Mother, my father has just fallen asleep, let's not disturb his old man." ”

Concubine Hui hesitated for a moment and nodded. The three of them went to a side hall next to them and sat down, and Concubine Hui asked Ye Minzhao: "What did the emperor say to you?" ”

"Father said, he said that our branch is not right, decades ago, it was Emperor Taizong who killed Emperor Taizu with his own hands, and Taizong ascended to the emperor's throne since then, and it has been passed down to his father's generation! My father told me not to forget this history! Ye Minzhao's face was a little confused, "Mother, what is the purpose of saying that your father is talking to me about this at this time?" ”

Concubine Hui's face changed slightly when she heard this, although the matter of Taizong's improper position was deliberately covered up, there were still many people in the emperor's upper echelons who knew this, and Concubine Hui also knew about it. She thought about it, but for a moment she couldn't understand why the emperor could say such a thing.

She instructed Ye Minzhao again: "No matter what he says, just listen to it, don't disobey him!" ”

Ye Minzhao nodded, "I know!" ”

Chen Jia followed the orthodoxy every day and knew him better, and he said in disbelief: "Could it be that the emperor wants to return the throne to the Taizu branch?" ”

Concubine Hui blurted out: "How is this possible?!" ”

The author has something to say: the author is his own mother, so don't worry about the future of the prince and the heroine!
