Chapter 385: The Second Prince Ascends the Throne
Qiu Zhiguang sneered, "The emperor may have been delayed when he went out, and there is nothing particularly important during this time." Lin Shangshu said at this time that the country cannot be without a king for a day, is it too early. ”
The minister who supported the second prince also spoke, "I think what Lin Shangshu said is very reasonable, the prime minister is what kind of ulterior secret, right?" ”
The two factions quarreled inseparably, and in the end they broke up.
in the room. Wei Xuanyun fed Lan Xuan'er clear porridge, "Wan'er, be careful, don't burn it." ”
Lan Wan'er nodded, "We are dead in the eyes of others now, and we don't know how to appear in front of their eyes so rashly." Could it be mistaken for impersonation? ”
Wei Xuanyun looked at the rice grains at the corner of Lan Xuan'er's mouth, stepped forward and licked them with her tongue before answering, "But if you don't do this, you won't be able to attract the people behind the scenes." ”
Lan Wan'er blushed, "Why don't we show up yet, we can see which party the minister of the court is on." In this way, it will be easier to close the net in the future. ”
Wei Xuanyun disagreed, "If we don't show up, the real people behind the scenes will only sit back and enjoy the benefits of the fisherman with the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches, and in the end, it will chill the hearts of those loyal ministers." ”
"I can put out the news that my body is fine. The people behind the scenes should be here soon. Lan Wan'er proposed.
Wei Xuanyun directly refused, "Do you know how weak your body is now?" What's more, in these mountains and rivers, you are my weakness. It's the gentleness that I dare not stretch out in the palm of my hand. ”
Lan Wan'er smiled, "You are also my weakness, my surviving person." ”
Wei Xuanyun continued to explain, "And the strategy of fake death can't last long, I just ascended the throne, the court is unstable, and many things still need to rely on those ministers, if I don't show up at this time, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of damage." ”
Lan Xuan'er leaned on Wei Xuanyun's arms and nodded, found a comfortable position and fell asleep.
The Dark Guard also came to report on the situation at this time.
Wei Xuanyun motioned to lower her voice and went out to speak. "Tell me, what's going on now?"
The secret guard replied respectfully, "There are abnormal changes in the borders of the Snow Dragon Country, the Nanfeng Kingdom and the Luo Kingdom, and the subordinates have already sent someone to investigate thoroughly, I believe there will be news soon." ”
At the same time, the second prince on the other side went to the barracks.
"Let your rulers come, and the king has something to tell him."
The commander of the barracks was brought over with disdain. "What is the second prince looking for me?"
I saw the second prince sneering, "Now the emperor is dead." Fengwu's country will be mine sooner or later, you might as well change hands sooner. I can also give you a better position. ”
It was as if the Archon had heard something incredible. "Is the second prince buying me? You may not know that the conditions for buying me are not something that ordinary people can do. ”
"Just say what conditions you want, follow this king, and this king will not treat you badly." The second prince continued to lobby.
Only the commander suddenly laughed, "Do you know how the emperor bought me in the first place? When everyone abandoned me on the battlefield, it was he who saved me back with a rain of swords and swords, and in this life, I will only be loyal to him alone. ”
At this moment, the Commander's body was stabbed in the back, and the Commander had already lost his breath before he could make a frightened sound. When he died, his eyes were full of disbelief and disappointment.
The person who killed the commander was the deputy commander, and the deputy commander had colluded with the second prince a long time ago, and at this time he successfully solved the people who had been pressing on his head on weekdays.
The second prince praised the person in front of him, "You are a person who will judge the situation and hope that your ability is worthy of your ambition." Don't let me down. You'll be the new ruler here. ”
The second prince then ordered, "Those new ministers are very annoying, you can find an opportunity to arrest them." The new commander nodded yes.
Qiu Zhiguang and Du Wenqi stayed together every day, looking for the whereabouts of the emperor and queen. On this day, just after the two of them came out of the restaurant, they met a group of soldiers.
"It's been a long time since you've seen each other, why don't you invite you to your cell for tea?" The new commander touched his nose and said.
"What are you trying to do with so many soldiers? And I remember you're not the commander in the barracks, right? Qiu Zhiguang asked, and immediately made a fighting posture in his hand.
The new commander said proudly, "That man doesn't know how to follow a good master, so he can only be killed." The new commander is me. Come, take them both down. ”
Du Wencheng and Qiu Zhiguang were taken to prison, and because there were no these two ministers in the court, even those who supported Wei Xuanyun in their hearts did not dare to say it in person, for fear of attracting death.
The second prince is now completely victorious in the management and the imperial court.
The secret guard told Wei Xuanyun all the news, and Wei Xuanyun thought about it, thinking that this time he would completely eradicate the power of the second prince and the people in the court who were eyeing him.
Wei Xuanyun instructed Lan Xuan'er to take care of her body, "Xuan'er, I will let them protect you, you wait for me, wait for me to come back." ”
Lan Wan'er grabbed Wei Xuanyun's sleeve and gently kissed her, "Xuanyun, be careful." ”
Then Wei Xuanyun called the people of the Purple Jade Pavilion, "Take care of her, she is my life." ”
After finishing speaking, he left the bureau to deploy his own plan, and Wei Xuanyun came to the barracks with a pair of secret guards.
As soon as the new commander saw Wei Xuanyun, his legs were weak in fright, and he kept saying that he was forced to be helpless. Wei Xuanyun didn't say anything, just looked at him coldly and smiled, "Some things are done." As he spoke, he ended the life of the person in front of him with his own hands. The new commander died and couldn't believe that he just wanted to get a position of commander, and he was hastily ended his life.
Wei Xuanyun returned to the barracks, and those soldiers were very excited to see Wei Xuanyun, this is the man who followed them to dominate the battlefield, this is the brother who was born and died with them, those soldiers never regarded Wei Xuanyun as a high emperor, but a brother who could hand over his back to him at a critical moment.
"Fourth prince, if you come, we know that you will definitely come."
Wei Xuanyun nodded, "You are all brothers who have followed me for many years from birth to death, and I have never called myself me in front of you. Don't treat you as outsiders, will you let me down this time? ”
The soldiers shouted, "No! No! ……”
Wei Xuanyun soon took the place of the new commander and took up residence in the barracks. He planned to pretend to be the new commander on the surface to get the plan of the second prince, and take it in one fell swoop when the time came.
Wei Xuanyun came to the dungeon with some soldiers, and looked at Qiu Zhiguang and Du Wenzhuo, who were imprisoned together, still complaining to each other there, but many words were said by Qiu Zhiguang, "What is the emperor doing this time?" Still not out yet? Lao Tzu is still waiting for promotion? ”
"Your official position is high enough, so let's be modest." Du Wencheng replied.
As they spoke, they noticed a man in a black cloak approaching in front of the door of the dungeon. Qiu Zhiguang subconsciously felt that this person was Wei Xuanyun, and tentatively shouted, "Emperor? ”
Wei Xuanyun nodded, "I wronged you this time, they didn't embarrass you, right?" ”
Du Wencheng shook his head, "Everything is fine with Weichen, thank you for the emperor's concern." ”
Qiu Zhiguang stretched out his hand and took out a roster from his collar, "There are two factions of people on this." One faction supports us, and the other faction supports the second prince. ”
Wei Xuanyun stretched out his hand to take it, and the attendant on the side opened the key to the cell door and rescued the two of them.
Above the court.
The second prince got his wish and obtained the right to temporarily organize the affairs of the court, and some ministers were not convinced, but they couldn't say it on the surface.
On the first day, the second prince began to exchange for his ministers and officials. Those who followed him were all rewarded with high-ranking officials, and those ministers who had previously been loyal were either exiled to the frontier or beheaded for public display.
At this moment, a person suddenly came in from outside the main hall. The man was slender, wearing a black cape, and his entire face was buried in the dark. The whole body exuded an inoffensive momentum, and I saw this person speak lightly, "Brother Huang, you have worked hard to deal with court affairs, and now that Brother Huang is here, should I give up some things?" ”
The second prince saw that Wei Xuanyun in front of him was only stunned for a few seconds, and then quickly calmed down again. "Wei Xuanyun? Do you know that this palace is now full of my people, inside and out? ”
Wei Xuanyun smiled without saying a word, her eyes full of disdain.
The second prince only felt angry when he saw his fearless appearance, "Come on, catch this person for me, kill him!" Outside the door, the Praetorian Guards soon arrived, but these people surrounded the second prince, and the weapons in their hands were also aimed at him.
The second prince was angry, "What are you doing? It's all the other way around, isn't it? After speaking, he looked at Wei Xuanyun's eyes and suddenly looked down and saw the familiar hand of the new commander, so it was so, and he already knew it in his heart.
So he began to say in a very flattering voice, "Brother Huang never thought of robbing you of anything? Isn't this a rumor outside, I came out to preside over the overall situation, the emperor can rest assured, I will never have two hearts, the emperor's brother has to believe in the emperor's brother. ”
Wei Xuanyun calmly walked to the center of the court. Qiu Zhiguang and Du Wenqi followed. Qiu Zhiguang was the first to speak, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Below was the echo of a group of ministers.
"Brother Huang wants to do everything clearly, everyone present, why bother to say it here, huh? Why don't you give an explanation from the royal brother? ”
The second prince was still quibbling, "Brother Huang, I am really for the sake of righteousness, no matter how you say it, we all have the same blood on our bodies." The royal brother can't be so cruel. ”
"Am I cruel? When the country was in turmoil, no one came to sit on the throne. When the wind and rain are good, but it is a fragrant bait, what, is this country your responsibility or selfishness! ”
The second prince was silent. His face was full of panic.
Wei Xuanyun continued to speak, "You are my imperial brother, no matter what happened before, you never thought of harming my life, I know that you are a brotherhood, so I don't blame you for this incident, you are still your second prince, and I hope that the imperial brother will not live up to my hard work, so that he can do it himself." ”
