Chapter 506: Powerful Ministers and Traitors

Zhang Xiaowu involuntarily took two steps back, staggered up, he barely supported his body by holding on to the chair, but felt a lack of his whole body, so he sat down on the chair. He took a few heavy breaths, and suddenly, he only felt a sharp throat and spit out a mouthful of bloody thick phlegm, Dong Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to help, Zhang Xiaowu waved his hand, his eyes were red and almost bleeding, and he gritted his teeth and asked: "Ten days, Your Majesty only has ten days to live?" ”

Dong Zhen said helplessly: "I'm afraid it's not ten days yet." ”

Zhang Xiaowu simply gritted his teeth and couldn't speak, and there was only one word echoing in his mind: "Ten days." ”

What is the concept of the 10th, the 10th is the 10th, the 10th is the Lantern Festival that has not yet reached the 15th day of the first month, the 10th is almost a flick of the fingers, and the Great Emperor who has always trusted himself and supported himself will no longer be alive.

His ears suddenly rang and squeaked, as if an unpleasant flute had been playing a tune. He quickly covered his ears, but he couldn't stop the unpleasant sound, and he patted his ears and then his lian, forcing himself to wake up and keep his attention from the annoying noise.

"Lord Shaobao, Lord Shaobao, Lord Shaobao-"

Dong Zhen's voice seemed to be getting louder and clearer, and Zhang Xiaowu regained consciousness and nodded. Dong Zhen took a closer look at Zhang Xiaowu's face and said seriously: "Lord Shaobao, you should cultivate for three years and use three years to recover your body, otherwise-"

"How else?"

"Otherwise, you'll not be more than thirty-five."

Zhang Xiaowu laughed and said: "I am twenty-two years old this year, and I am still thirteen years away from the age of thirty-five, I don't know what will happen in these thirteen years, maybe I will be killed by the rebels tomorrow." So I can't rest, I can't stop. ”

"Alas-" Dong Zhen sighed, "your life is yours, you are in charge, you are the hero of the Holy Han, I just don't want you to die early at a young age." ”

Zhang Xiaowu smiled and said: "I'm not a hero, you have won the award." He regained his composure, and his ears seemed to be no longer ringing, so he said, "The people in the Tai Hospital stay here, don't go home, and don't disclose His Majesty's condition to anyone." ”

"We'll cooperate." Dong Zhen said, and then pleaded with him: "Lord Shaobao, I only hope that we will act in the future, and we will never harm Yuchi, no one in my hospital participated in the coup." ”

Zhang Xiaowu asked, "Do you know what I'm going to do?" ”

Dong Zhen smiled bitterly: "I have experienced the Great Dao Emperor, the Taiqian Emperor and the current Great De Emperor, every time there is such a palace change, it must be accompanied by bloody rain." ”

"If you know, it's good." Zhang Xiaowu said.

Dong Zhen asked again: "Are you a powerful minister or a traitor?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu smiled and said: "Your Majesty asked me this question, and I still answered at that time, I will do what Your Majesty needs me to do." ”

Dong Zhen shook his head and turned to leave.

Zhang Xiaowu re-examined the current political situation, if His Majesty dies, who will benefit the most? It must be the king of Jin or even the king of Chu, they are the sons of the first emperor, and they are adults or close to adults, no matter who the Senate decides to make emperor, it is more suitable than the seven-year-old King Zhao. Moreover, Emperor Dade has not yet canonized King Zhao as the crown prince, so in terms of inheritance rights, both King Jin and King Chu have the opportunity to inherit the throne.

Thinking of setting up King Zhao as the prince in February, Zhang Xiaowu suddenly realized that he figured out a little why King Jin launched a rebellion, because once King Zhao Xuanyuan Chenghua was set up as the prince, he would have no chance to inherit the throne. And the king of Jin absolutely did not have the ability and courage to plan this rebellion, and the only person who could have the ability in the court was Zhang Kuan, the left minister.

Zhang Kuan is the leader of the scholar clan and the head of the hundred officials, in addition to having no military power, it can be said that he has monopolized the power, and such an old man in his seventies, is it necessary to eradicate the emperor of Dade and establish his grandson King Jin as the emperor, does he still have the heart to take over greater power? Judging from Zhang Kuan's gradual concession to Emperor Dade and Emperor Dade gradually taking power, Zhang Kuan seems to have begun to cultivate Emperor Dade's imperial spirit, which does not seem to be a deliberate conspiracy.

Therefore, the mastermind behind the scenes should be someone else, not Zhang Kuan. But after quelling the rebellion, Zhang Kuan will definitely jump out by himself and take charge of the court in place of the emperor.

He thought about every step in his heart, and made a plan for the time being, so he called Wu Song, Ruan Qingwen, Wen Ruyu, Guan Xiang, Cao Li, Li Chuncheng, Jin Sheng, Hu Sanwan and other backbone of the silver-clothed guard, and said first: "It's a matter of confidentiality, it is related to our life and death, this coup is not successful, but the emperor's time is short, we need to make plans early." I have decided to support the seven-year-old King Zhao as emperor, eradicate all opposition forces, and then I will go on a killing spree in Longdu. If we succeed, we will be in power, but there are also crises, and there is even an army of King Qin. If we fail, we will be left with a stench for thousands of years and our entire families slaughtered. If someone quits at the moment, please take it easy, I don't force it. We have to dance on the tip of the knife, win and get everything, lose is death. ”

Everyone looked at each other, nodded involuntarily, and said in unison: "I am willing to follow the general to the soup and fire." ”

Zhang Xiaowu nodded and said: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll talk about my plan, kill the King of Jin and the King of Chu first, although I will send the Qinglong Army to attack the Zilong Army, but if the Qinglong Army is a watcher, I can only do it myself." Li Chuncheng immediately led Ni Erchun and five hundred soldiers to the prince's mansion and killed the king of Chu and his concubines, and if the family of the king of Jin was also there, they would be killed together. ”

"Whoa."

"Hu Sanwan, immediately find Yin Liangnan, the governor of Longdu Prefecture, and let all the officials widely publicize that Longdu will be under martial law for fifteen days, and they will not be allowed to go out for fifteen days."

"Whoa."

"Guan Xiang, the people of the Hou clan of Liyang and all the tenants who participated in this entry into the palace, including their families, I want to leave no chickens and dogs. Jas, too, you help him. ”

"Whoa."

"Wen Ruyu, you are responsible for managing the forbidden army in the palace, and secretly checking whether there is a gap in it. That Li Canglan's rebels can go so deep into the palace, there must be more than one person who responds, and they must be making trouble for blocking our silver-clothed guards for three hours. I want you to find out who is among them and hang them outside the imperial walls. ”

"Whoa."

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Ruan Qingwen, you are temporarily responsible for all the coordination in the palace, you can arbitrarily transfer manpower, organize everyone to restore the order of the palace, collect the corpses and sort out the ruins, and prepare for the future reconstruction of the harem - you are now the head of the palace." ”

Everyone laughed and congratulated, Ruan Qingwen couldn't cry or laugh: "Joy and joy." ”

"Okay, let's get to work." Zhang Xiaowu raised his hand and shouted: "Holy Han! ”

"Ten thousand years!"
