Chapter 118: King Jin faints, and the court is in turmoil
King Jin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"The proposed purpose is that Chen Lingxiao promptly curbed Heisong's collaboration with the enemy, dug out his merit in greedy military salaries, and specially ordered him to temporarily serve as the governor of Dingrong, and all senior generals of the Dingrong army were promoted and appointed by him.
In addition, escort Hei Song into the royal capital and hand it over to the Secret Governor for review and exterminate his nine clans. ”
Rebellion is a great crime, and the king is the most taboo!
Li Xuanming hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Report!"
At this time, a large internal guard rushed into the Xuande Palace, knelt on the ground, held a battle report in his hand, and said:
"General Xue's urgent military situation!"
When Qi Linyuan heard this, his body trembled, and he coughed violently: "Cough cough, come up!"
Li Xuanming took the battle report and sent it to the King of Jin.
Qi Linyuan opened it and saw that his face became more and more pale, his eyes opened suddenly, as if he had lost all his spirit, and the whole person fell straight down.
The battle report reads:
"The army of Chu began to attack the defenders of the Jin State, which happened five days ago, and the current situation of the battle is unknown. However, Xue Peng swears to defend the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty to the death!"
The roof leak happened to rain overnight.
Qi Linyuan had just disposed of a group of ministers, and his third son, Qi Chao, whom he valued very much, was quite devastated.
This stormy Great Jin is now encountering the attack of the Chu State, and the disasters are continuous!
Under the blows again and again, King Jin, who was originally in the advanced stage of lung cancer and was very weak, couldn't hold on anymore and collapsed!
The old eunuch's eyes were quick, and he caught King Jin and said sharply:
"Rapid Transmission of the Imperial Doctor!!
Suddenly, the entire hall was in chaos, and the ministers kept wailing, like mourning.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?!"
"Your Majesty, wake up!"
The left and right phases hurriedly went out to maintain order.
If the King of Jin dies, the sky of the Jin Kingdom will fall!
Even the two Xiangguo adults, who are accustomed to seeing big scenes and going through ups and downs, are panicked in their hearts!
The king of Jin died, the sky collapsed, the entire Jin kingdom will be chaotic, and Wu Chugou and other countries will definitely dismember the Great Jin at all costs!
There is one more terrifying thing, the king of Jin has not clearly announced who the prince is, but I am afraid that between several princes, there will be a battle between you and me to the death.
At that time, I'm afraid that Dajin will fall apart......
"Quickly spread the great Zongzheng!" Li Xuanming remembered King Jin's previous confession and said in a deep voice.
Soon, the chief Hua Tai doctor of the Tai Hospital, with the support of the guards in the big house, entered the Xuande Palace, and the great Jin royal clan was in the same year, and the hind feet also entered the Xuande Palace.
After Chief Hua saw it, he didn't immediately tell the courtiers about his illness, but asked Dazong Zheng to transfer Qi Linyuan to the Heart Cultivation Hall for cultivation.
When Dazong Zheng and Baiguan heard this, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This shows that the king of Jin did not die, and the sky of the Great Jin did not collapse.
"You are all staying in the Xuande Hall for the time being, you are not allowed to go out, and you are waiting for the sect to come back!"
Qi Nian said in a deep voice: "The inner guards obey the order and surround the Xuande Palace, anyone who dares to cross the palace gate will be killed!"
Now is the very moment, when extraordinary means are used.
A large number of internal guards surrounded the Xuande Palace.
Da Zongzheng, Li Xuanming, and Chief Hua took King Jin and left the Xuande Palace.
In the main hall, the courtiers were full of nervousness and discussed.
"God must bless King Jin with nothing!"
"King Jin must not have anything to do!"
"If it's the king of Jin...... I'm bah, Jin Wang Ji people have their own heavenly appearance!"
“......”
The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.
Dazong was looking at King Jin, who was still unconscious lying on the dragon bed, and asked the imperial doctor:
"Chief Hua, how is King Jin's illness?"
"Lord Zongzheng, King Jin's body is extremely weak, he has entered the terminal, and it is almost impossible to wake up, unless a miracle appears.
In less than two and a half months at most, King Jin is only afraid that he will drive the crane west, and Lord Zongzheng must make arrangements!" Chief Hua shook his head and sighed helplessly.
When Dazong Zheng heard this, his face was ugly, and he was stunned for a while.
The old eunuch Li Xuanming is full of tears.
Who would have thought that the master who had served him for decades would end up in such a situation.
If it can be replaced, Li Xuanming can't wait for the person lying there to be himself.
He was loyal to the King of Jin.
"Chief Hua, this matter should not be said to the outside world, just say that King Jin is not in good health, and he will cultivate in the Heart Cultivation Hall for the time being!"
Dazong Zheng came back to his senses, took a deep look at Qi Linyuan, who was described as withered and unconscious, and instructed Imperial Doctor Hua.
Chief Hua nodded: "The old man knows the severity, and he will never pass on a word!"
After the explanation, Dazong Zheng said in a deep voice: "Come on, send the chief of China!"
Then, Qi Nian immediately ordered someone to go to the border of Jin and Chu to recall the eldest prince Qi Jun.
Last time, when Qi Linyuan summoned Dazong Zheng, he had already decided on the candidate for the prince, and it was the eldest prince Qi Jun.
Now, the king of Jin is unconscious, and he must recall the eldest prince as soon as possible, and announce the candidate for the prince so that he can ascend the throne as soon as possible.
After making arrangements, Qi Nian came to the Xuande Hall again, glanced around at the courtiers below, and announced in a deep voice:
"King Jin is not in good health, and now he is cultivating in the Heart Palace, and he can't manage the government for the time being.
According to the order of the king of Jin, a cabinet was formed.
The cabinet is composed of four people, including Dazong Zhengqi Nian as the first assistant, Wang Hengyan as the second assistant on the left, Zhang Buqun as the third auxiliary minister on the right, and Shangshu as the fourth auxiliary minister on the military department.
Before the King of Jin recovered, the cabinet handled the affairs of the Great Jin Dynasty. ”
"Yes, Da Zongzheng, everything is in accordance with the will of King Jin!"
The left and right ministers, and the military department are still in the ranks, kneeling respectfully on the ground, and said in unison.
When all the ministers heard this, their hearts chuckled.
The sixth prince Qi Kun's eyes turned, and he secretly said in his heart:
Is my father dying?!
Why didn't Dazong Zheng announce the candidate for the prince, and why did he still set up a cabinet to deal with government affairs?
Could it be that the prince has already been elected, but the prince is not in the royal capital, so the cabinet is temporarily formed?!
The more I thought about it, the brighter Qi Kun's heart became, and the more angry, scared, and lost I became!
The third prince Qi Chao was imprisoned and had lost his qualification to be the prince, and Dazong Zheng did not announce the prince in court, which means that the prince is not him Qi Kun.
It's the eldest prince Qi Jun!
Dazong Zheng and his father were worried that if the prince was announced now, he Qi Kun would rebel, so he didn't announce it immediately!
Dazong just wants to wait for Qi Jun to come back, and then make a grand announcement and organize an enthronement ceremony!
The formation of a cabinet is just for the sake of the alternation of royal power, to make a transition!
I'm afraid that by then, he Qi Kun will only be reduced to a prisoner, even if he doesn't die, he can only be imprisoned like a caged bird for the rest of his life, unable to display his ambitions!
This is the bleak end of the failure to win the heir!
Qi Kun thought about it, and his fists couldn't help but clench together!
"Okay, let me remind you that it's best not to talk nonsense about today's court. If anyone can't control their mouths, then the Secret Governor will invite you to tea!" Dazong said coldly.
When the civil and military ministers in the court heard this, they couldn't help but tremble.
The Dark Doverick, it was a terrible being like hell on earth, and no one wanted to go there.
Qi Nian saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, nodded and said, "Let's all disperse, each perform its duties!"
It's night, Zongren's Mansion.
"Report!"
A large internal guard hurriedly ran in front of Qi Nian, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Da Zongzheng, the third prince has escaped from prison!"
"What?!"
Qi Nianteng stood up, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground, shattered into pieces, and his face changed greatly.
"Qi Da Zongzheng, the third prince has escaped from prison!" the Ouchi guard repeated again.
Qi Nian said in a deep voice:
"Someone, pass on my order, immediately order the Admiral of the Nine Gates to close the Nine Gates of Jin Yuan City, and never let the third prince escape from the royal city!
In addition, with the Yulin Army, the whole city searched for the third prince, and immediately took him to the Zongren Mansion after being caught! If you can't hold the third prince, you will be punished heavily!"
"Yes, Da Zongzheng!" several of his subordinates immediately went to give the order.
Qi Nian continued: "Immediately, summon the cabinet ministers into the palace!"
He knew that once the third prince Qi Chao escaped from the royal city, it would be to let the tiger return to the mountain and swim the dragon in the sea.
Qi Chao has always been eyeing the throne of the Great Jin Dynasty, and if he is allowed to run out of the royal city, he doesn't know what kind of storm will blow.
A big mess will certainly not be avoided.
Qi Nian thought about it, and then gathered his masters to monitor the sixth prince Qi Kun, and this son couldn't run away.
Among the heirs of the King of Jin, the eldest prince, the third prince, and the sixth prince are the best, but unfortunately there is only one throne in the Great Jin.
You fight for me, fight openly and secretly, it is inevitable!
Now, since the King of Jin has decided to appoint the eldest prince Qi Jun as the prince, the other two princes can only be placed under house arrest.
so as not to cause fratricide.
Originally, Dazong was going to wait for Qi Jun to return to the royal city before making a move on the sixth prince Qi Kun.
The country can't be without a king for a day, if after the king of Jin faints, he takes the six princes, doesn't it just show the world that the king of Jin is not good, and he is going to die? !
At that time, I am afraid that the minions of the sixth prince and the third prince will take the opportunity to cause trouble, and cause chaos in Jinyuan City!
Therefore, Da Zongzheng did not announce the order of house arrest of the six princes, and wanted to wait for the return of the eldest prince before placing the other party under house arrest.
But now that the third prince has escaped from prison, he must monitor Qi Kun in advance.
As soon as Qi Kun did any misdeeds, he was first arrested and put under house arrest.
Soon the master sent out came back and announced: "Da Zongzheng, the sixth prince Qi Kun has already left the royal city after retreating from the dynasty!"
After Qi Nian learned the news, his face became extremely gloomy, and he wailed in his heart:
"God, do I really want to reproduce the tragic situation when the old Jin King ascended the throne?!"
Dazong Zheng still clearly remembers that when Qi Linyuan ascended the throne of the Great Jin Dynasty, he fought with his brothers, and the palace was stained with blood, the corpses were piled up into mountains, and the mountains and rivers changed color!
Soon, the left minister, the right minister, and the secretary of the military department all came to the palace.
After consulting with the three cabinet ministers, Qi Nian immediately ordered the entire city of Jin Yuan City to be under martial law, and mobilized local generals loyal to the eldest prince Qi Jun to lead the army into the royal capital.
The purpose of doing this is naturally to prevent the third prince and the sixth prince from rebelling and attacking Jin Yuan City to capture the king.
An earth-shattering battle for the heirs of the Great Jin Kingdom kicked off.
......
Dingrong City, the Metropolitan Governor's Palace.
Chen Lingxiao had nothing to do, and was cross-legged by Erlang, tasting wine.
Dian Wei and Lu Bu accompanied them, and they also drank red wine with a goblet.
"Lord, this red wine doesn't taste good, I still like Erguotou!" Dian Wei poured the red wine into his mouth, frowned, and muttered.
Lu Bu also shook his head at the red wine: "Lord, what General Dian said makes sense, this red wine is tasteless, and it is still the second pot head!"
When Chen Lingxiao heard this, he glanced at the two generals under him, and said, "Reckless, there is no taste, such a good wine actually doesn't understand the taste, and it needs a second pot!"
As he spoke, Chen Lingxiao took out two bottles of Erguotou and threw them at Lu Bu and Dian Wei.
"Thank you Lord for the reward!" said the two of them hurriedly after catching the second pot.
At this time, Jia Xu walked quickly in front of Chen Lingxiao, and said with a solemn face: "Lord, something has happened to the king!"
When Chen Lingxiao heard this, his spirit sank, and he said:
"Could it be that Qi Linyuan died?!"
