Chen Wan soon got the news of Liu Che's death and the accession of his young son Liu Fuling, and felt that it was very sudden, so he went out with Wu Zheng to find out the news. Since the last time the Ma brothers failed to assassinate Liu Che, Liu Dan, the king of Yan, sent an envoy to Beijing, asking the king of Yan to enter the palace to protect the emperor and provoke Liu Che, so tired that the king of Yan was cut off three counties and the envoy was killed, Chen Wan and Wu Zheng hid and did not dare to show up. Now that they suddenly heard that the old emperor had died and the eight-year-old little prince had ascended the throne, they couldn't sit still and felt that they should go out of the mountain again.

Chen Wan knew Guo Guangyi, the ruling Jinwu, so he sneaked to his house to inquire about the specific situation. Guo Guangyi had just returned home from duty, and met Chen Wan, who had been waiting for a long time, at the door of his house, and Chen Wan sneakily stepped forward to greet him: "Lord Guo, can you remember me?" ”

Guo Guangyi looked Chen Wan up and down, pointed at him and said, "It turned out to be Chen Wan, haven't you been following King Yan, why did you come here." ”

"A few days ago, I just went back to Chang'an when I had something at home, and I wanted to go back to Yan in the next two days, but I heard that the first emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne, who is the new emperor? So I came to ask you for verification, so I can tell King Yan in detail. ”

Guo Guangyi felt strange, it has been almost a month since the new emperor ascended the throne, and you still don't know who it is, could it be that you are knowingly asking, what news do you want to ask? So he said: "Don't you know, the new emperor is the sixth prince." ”

Chen Wan's purpose was to ask something specific and see that other people had no other views on the new emperor's accession to the throne, so he continued to ask: "Why did the former emperor fall ill and collapse, and did he have any other last words before he died?" ”

Guo Guangyi is such a smart person, he knew the details of Chen Wan at a glance, so he said: "I was waiting for the edict in Wuqi Palace, and suddenly heard that the emperor had died in the palace, and the generals jointly established the prince as the emperor, who was eight or nine years old. ”

Chen Wan saw that Guo Guangyi was prevaricating, and knew that he couldn't ask what the result was, so he hurriedly left. went back to discuss with Wu Zheng, Wu Zheng said that he knew Ding Wenxin, the son of Princess Eyi, why not go to Princess Eyi through Ding Wenxin to ask.

So Wu Zheng asked Ding Wenxin to come out for a drink, and by the way, he wanted to inquire about the news, but who knew that Ding Wenxin said that the princess of Eyi had been summoned to the palace to take care of the new emperor, and he didn't know the details. This Ding Wenxin is a playboy who is only keen on eating, drinking, and having fun, and ignores all political matters.

Chen Wan felt that it was a bit inappropriate for Wu Zheng to ask Ding Wenxin, now that Princess Eyi was edicted to take care of the new emperor, the new emperor was beneficial to her, even if the first emperor had any last words to say to King Yan, she would not say it.

Wu Zheng felt that it made sense, and blindly asked those ministers that for their own interests, they would not say it, and they should go to those who had no interests but could be by the emperor's side at that time. There was one person that came to mind in his mind, and that was the Imperial Physician Yu Sangtian.

Wu Zheng knew Yu Sangtian very early, and when he heard that the emperor died in Wuqi Palace, he was at the scene, so he ran to find him, of course, he inevitably brought some valuable souvenirs, a pair of priceless jade jade.

Seeing Yu Sangtian, Wu Zheng smiled and took out this pair of jade jadeite from his arms and stuffed them into his hands. Yu Sangtian was a little panicked when he saw Wu Zheng giving him such a valuable thing, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Wu, how can Yu stand such a valuable thing?" ”

Wu Zheng still smiled, and said softly: "Imperial Doctor Yu, last time you helped me see a doctor, I haven't thanked you yet, this pair of jade jade is made of high-grade Kunlun jade, which is considered a certain piece of Wu's heart, please smile." ”

Yu Sangtian looked at the jade jade sent by Wu Zheng, and thought to himself that he didn't need to send such a valuable thing to thank me for seeing a doctor, and besides, he had already given an honorarium for seeing a doctor last time, so he should have something else, so he asked: "Brother Wu, you are too polite, you have already given me a lot of honorarium last time, and this time you will send this, Yu is ashamed." ”

"It should be, it should be." Wu Zheng still smiled, and continued: "I heard that when the first emperor was sick in Wuqi Palace, you were also there. ”

Yu Sangtian guessed Wu Zheng's intentions, and he also heard that Wu Zheng was a guest of King Yan, and it was estimated that he came for King Yan's business, so he nodded and said: "Yes, the first emperor went to Ganquan Palace in the first month, and then transferred to Wuqi Palace in February. ”

"What was the cause of the emperor's collapse?"

Yu Sangtian saw Wu Zheng asking such a sensitive topic, and said softly: "The first emperor was in Wuqi Palace, when the weather suddenly turned cold, suffered from the cold, and died of typhoid fever. "Read the book

Wu Zheng also approached Yu Sangtian's side and asked in a low voice, "Did the emperor have any last words for King Yan before he died?" ”

Yu Sangtian finally knew Wu Zheng's purpose, paused, shook his head and said: "At that time, I only heard that the first emperor said that the sixth prince would be passed on, and let Huo Guang assist him, Jin Riyan and Shangguan Ji would assist Huo Guang, and Tian Qianqiu and Sang Hongyang would assist him. ”

Wu Zheng also heard the mystery, so he said: "That is to say, the five of them are also in order, Huo Guang is the first and has the greatest power, followed by Jin Riyan, Shangguan Ji, Tian Qianqiu and Sang Hongyang, is this not the case." ”

Yu Sangtian nodded and said: "That's the case, Huo Guang is the leader of the book, which means that he is in charge of the military and political power, and everyone else is assisting him." ”

Wu Zheng sighed: "It seems that King Yan is really out of play, the first emperor can be said to have good intentions, let Huo Guang be the first assistant, Jin Riyan and Shangguan Ji will assist Huo Guang, the three of them are all sons and daughters, with the same interests, and they restrain each other, one purpose is to let them assist the new emperor well until he is in power." ”

Yu Sangtian saw that Wu Zheng was very disappointed, so he enlightened him: "Brother Wu, don't be discouraged, King Yan may not be out of play, if you can't break it inside, you can break it outside." ”

Wu Zheng heard what Yu Sangtian said, so he asked, "What is Imperial Doctor Yu's opinion?" ”

Yu Sangtian hurriedly beckoned Wu Zheng to approach, and whispered in his ear: "You don't know, there is a secret rumor outside, saying that the new emperor is not the first emperor's own son. ”

When Wu Zheng heard the news, he was stunned and hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Yu Sangtian smiled and said: "The new emperor said that Zhao Jieyu was born when she was 14 months pregnant, is it possible?" ”

"I have also heard that it is said that Emperor Yao of ancient times was also born in the fourteenth month of his mother's womb, so Zhao Jieyu was also named Yao's mother."

Yu Sangtian laughed and said, "Ridiculous, nonsense. ”

"Then you mean that it is impossible to say that it is impossible to conceive a child in the fourteenth month, and you can conclude that it was not born by the first emperor." Wu Zheng continued to ask, Yu Sangtian lowered his voice and said: "It is rumored that Zhao Jieyu was born of an affair with Jiang Chong, Jiang Chong and Zhao Jieyu's aunt are brothers and sisters, and he dedicated Zhao Jieyu to the emperor, and the female doctor who took care of Zhao Jieyu during her pregnancy was also Jiang Chong's person. ”

Finally understood why Yu Sangtian told Wu Zheng about this empty secret, it turned out that Yu Sangtian was very dissatisfied with Gongsun Yu's medical skills being higher than him, especially the last time he was in Wuqi Palace, Gongsun Yu denied the prescription he prescribed to Liu Che, and also pointed out that the prescription he prescribed was a mistake in judgment, so he has been obsessed with it, and always has to find a way to get rid of Gongsun Yu. Now seeing that King Yan was dissatisfied with the new emperor's accession to the throne, he thought that the opportunity had come, and he could take this opportunity to attack them, and if King Yan succeeded, he could use this matter to get rid of Gongsun Yu and his wife.

Wu Zheng also felt that the information provided by Yu Sangtian was true or false, but it was very important to King Yan, King Yan could use this information to unite the kings to attack the new emperor, and it seemed that it was worth sending this pair of jade jade to Yu Sangtian, so he took his leave and went back to discuss with Chen Wan.

Chen Wan also felt that the news that the new emperor was not born to the first emperor was very valuable to King Yan, but if it was fake, the lethality to King Yan was also very strong, and the new emperor could execute him in a fit of anger, so he said: "Do you remember Lu Ji, he is Jiang Chong's senior brother, and it was his credit to lobby the Ma brothers last time, I still personally went back to Yan Kingdom to report to King Yan, and asked Lu Ji for verification by the way when passing by Beibi Mountain." ”

Wu Zheng hurriedly stopped him: "It's best for you to personally report the situation here to King Yan, but don't go up to Beibi Mountain to find Lu Ji, whether this matter is true or not, it is beneficial to King Yan, so take it as true." ”

Chen Wan thought about it for a while and felt that Wu Zheng's idea was also very reasonable, so he decided to leave for Yan Kingdom and personally report the situation in Chang'an to King Yan.
