Cai and the great eunuch rushed to the Wujiang camp in the starry night and saw the little dusk marquis.

When Chu Tianxiu and Li Yu heard that something had happened in the palace, their faces changed in shock.

The emperor was seriously ill, and that was a major event for the imperial court.

If you are not careful, you will change the dynasty.

They handed over the hundreds of thousands of prisoners in the Wujiang camp to the rest of the generals to deal with, and immediately took hundreds of Li family disciples to guard the cavalry, crossed the Wujiang camp and went south, and rushed back to the Jinling Palace in the starry night.

...

Kong Hanyou, Wang Su and the ministers of Jiuqing waited anxiously outside the inner gate of the palace, and could not enter the palace without the permission of the queen mother and the emperor.

Of course, they were worried about the emperor's condition.

When the Great Chu Dynasty was in the midst of a storm, this kind of internal and external troubles came and went. If the emperor died, it would immediately cause great turmoil.

No one knows what the future holds.

Fortunately, Xiang Bi, the king of Wu, and the princes of Jiangbei Shilu have all been ambushed, otherwise the battle has dragged on until now, and they know that the emperor is critically ill, and they are afraid that they will be surprised and crazy.

The Marquis of Xiao Duan swept away the rebellion of the princes in time and eradicated these great scourges of traitorous kings.

But another concern has resurfaced.

That's Xiao Duhou himself!

With such a prominent military exploit, Xiao Duhou seems to have become the first general in the military circle of the Great Chu Dynasty, and his prestige has skyrocketed, and he has already caught up with Li Rong, the captain.

Xiao Duhou's combat merits are too high, and there is a hidden danger that the merit is high to cover the master!

Li Rong, the lieutenant of that year, had never made such a record, but he had fought in and out of hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops to save the holy car from danger.

However, Xiao Duhou really defeated the 200,000 army of Wu Wang Xiang Bi.

Although it is claimed that the emperor drove the expedition in person and defeated the army of Wu King Xiang Bi in one fell swoop, there are too many soldiers who know the truth, and they all know that this tough battle was fought by Xiao Duhou, and the emperor just picked peaches.

After the emperor returned to Jinling City. The Marquis of Xiao Duan quickly crossed the river and went north, defeating the 500,000 princes' coalition army entrenched in the camp of the Wujiang River. This proves the true strength of Xiao Duhou, whose combat effectiveness is far above that of the emperor!

Crossing the river to attack the Wujiang camp, this difficulty is no less than that of Li Rong, the captain of the god of war, who went to save the holy car in the siege of the Hun army.

As a hussar general, Xiao Duhou has formed a huge force and many fanatical followers in the military circles of Great Chu.

The young men and gentlemen all admired Xiao Duhou very much, not to mention the other people.

However, Xiao Duhou is still the promoter of Gengzi's new policy, and he personally promoted the imperial examination system. This is a great pressure on the gate lords and Confucianism.

After this battle, Xiao Duhou was able to command and mobilize the 120,000 troops of Dachu, and he was already sitting big.

Can they, the ministers and officials of the noble faction and the Confucian faction, not be worried?!

If they can take advantage of the emperor's critical illness and death, they can grab the "Minister of Care" in time and assist the prince in ascending the throne, and they can also suppress the hussar general Xiao Duhou.

If not..... I'm afraid that the little dusk marquis is going to completely suppress them.

...

Prime Minister Kong Hanyou, Imperial Historian Wang Su, Deputy Prime Minister Xiao Gongwang, and Jiuqing ministers were waiting outside the inner palace, and saw a carriage hurriedly arriving outside the palace gate, and Xiao Duhou, Li Yu, Cai and the great eunuch and others hurriedly appeared.

Their faces changed slightly.

The emperor still recruited the little dusk marquis back!

No wonder it was delayed for so long and they were not allowed to enter the inner palace.

"Lord Kong, Lord Wang!"

Chu Tianxiu stopped outside the gate of the inner palace and bowed his hand to Kong Hanyou and Wang Su.

Hussar general, the same as the third duke.

But after all, he is still a second-rank general, slightly inferior to the third duke, ranking behind the prime minister and the imperial doctor.

Only the rank of general and captain is the real three dukes, and they go hand in hand.

His official position in the court is inferior to Li Rong, Kong Hanyou, and Wang Su, but he is already above the other Jiuqing ministers.

If the emperor wants to arrange a minister to take care of his life when he is dying, the qualifications of Xiao Duhou will definitely be higher than that of Jiuqing.

All the ministers of Jiuqing saluted Xiao Duanhou.

"Hussar General, congratulations on the victory of Wujiang! This is an immortal achievement, the biggest battle since the founding of the Great Chu, and the imperial court will definitely praise it greatly. After this battle, the reputation of the new generation of war gods of Xiao Duhou will definitely spread all over the world, and everyone knows about it. ”

Kong Hanyou praised with a smile.

He doesn't mind touting Xiao Duhou, sometimes the limelight is too strong, and it may not be a good thing.

"This great victory, thanks to the strong support of the officials of the Prime Minister's Office in the rear, the supply of money, food, and ammunition has ensured the great victory of Wujiang. This immortal merit, the prime minister wants to share half. At most, I am a talent of Zhao Yun, and the prime minister is Zhuge Liang of Da Chu! Benhou returned to the palace to report to the emperor, and decided to write this great credit to the prime minister. ”

Chu Tianxiu smiled.

Kong Hanyou froze slightly.

Zhuge Liang... It didn't end well.

"The emperor announced that all the ministers of the three princes and nine kings will enter the palace together to see the holy driver! The emperor has an edict to proclaim. ”

Cai and the great eunuch hurriedly said.

The ministers were speechless, and under the leadership of Cai He and the great eunuch, they hurriedly entered the inner palace to see the holy driver.

...

A group of their ministers entered the inner palace.

In the dormitory, the emperor fell into a coma again and did not wake up.

At this time, the princess Xiang Ling and the concubine Xie Anran also rushed back to the palace overnight from Huiji, and waited next to the holy car with Empress Dowager Shen, Empress Cui, Prince Xiang Tiange, and Uncle Shen Dafu.

"I've seen the Queen Mother, I've seen the Imperial Aunt!"

Chu Tianxiu hurriedly saluted Empress Dowager Shen and Empress Cui.

All the ministers saluted.

Empress Dowager Shen nodded slightly, but pulled Li Yu aside alone, reminiscing about the past, as if she was saying something. As everyone knows, the Queen Mother is very fond of and caring for Li Yu, the lord of Danyang.

"Xiu'er, you're here. In the past few months, I have been fighting abroad, you and Yu'er have worked hard, the emperor was still talking about your Wujiang victory last night, the emperor looked at it, this is to give you an official and a knight! ”

Empress Cui wiped her tears and smiled reluctantly.

In this huge palace, the Empress Dowager Shen and the Shen family are beside her. She, the queen, doesn't have a few of her own people around her, and she is also very weak-hearted.

Back then, in order to protect Emperor Xiang Yanran's ascendancy, Empress Dowager Shen was a low-key person, endured humiliation and burdens for many years, and I don't know how many open guns and hidden arrows she had survived.

Prince Xiang Tiange doesn't like poetry and books, and has always been quite stubborn and aggressive.

The competition for the throne of Great Chu has always been cruel, and the rest of the concubines, concubines, and even the emperor's brothers, and the rest of the princes are eyeing each other. Whether he can keep the young crown prince and ascend the throne smoothly is hard to say.

The emperor was unconscious. If someone puts a big perverse hat on the crown prince to prevent him from succeeding to the throne, it is difficult to predict who the throne will end up in.

Chu Tianxiu, the nephew hussar general, holds the power of the army, and is somewhat close to her by blood, and in this palace, it is also a strong reinforcement for her, of course, she must try her best to win over.

"Aunt Huang and rest assured, the emperor will definitely get better."

Chu Tianxiu hurriedly said.

He didn't think about the matter of being added to the knighthood.

In addition, there are only generals and princes above him, and the emperor will definitely make trouble.

The emperor had a vague suspicion of the Duhou Mansion, if it weren't for the rebellion of the princes of the Ten Routes, Taiwei Li Rong went to the northwest to resist the Xiongnu. There are no generals available in the court, and they will not send him to quell the chaos.

What the emperor would arrange in his edict, no one could have predicted.

When Kong Hanyou saw this, his scalp was numb.

Empress Cui and Xiao Duhou are the relationship between the emperor's aunt and nephew, and the relationship is also estranged and not close on weekdays. This is obviously a huddle for warmth, supporting each other, and trying to maintain their position.

Empress Dowager Shen pulled Li Yu, her face was full of kindness, and she was extremely close. In the past ten years, Empress Dowager Shen has a unique vision, and her care for Li Yu is also known to the world. Li Yu will definitely not live up to Empress Dowager Shen's care.

The hussar general Xiao Duhou and the Wei general Li Yu, both of whom were the leaders of the Great Chu army, had a huge Danyang pro-army and the Li family guards.

The two are still husband and wife, and Xiao Duhou's father-in-law is Lord Li Rong, the number one in the military world.

It can be said that if all the generals of Dachu choose a side in the court now, there is no doubt that they will stand on the side of the Ping Wangfu.

The women in this palace, seeing the wind and the rudder, are not easy to provoke.
