After being busy with all the things, Li Ziyuan, as the actual master of the Beijing Division, did not have idle, he wanted to meet with some ministers who accompanied him, and of course he also had to meet the vassal ministers in the palace, after all, now that the emperor is here, he is still a courtier of the Ming Dynasty in name, so he naturally has to tell the vassal ministers to respect the courtiers and not to act arbitrarily.

"Is there any news from Changsha now?!"

Li Ziyuan, who finally stopped, asked Xu Yuncheng on the side, on the day when Zhu Youlang spit out, he had already ordered someone to expedite 800 miles to send the news to Changsha, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

"King, even if there is news from Changsha, it will take about ten days for it to reach us."

Xu Yuncheng, who knew why the king was so anxious, said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Sichuan."

"Sichuan?"

Xu Yuncheng's words made Li Ziyuan's brows raise slightly, and then said.

"Yes, the news from Wuchang said that Li Laiheng led the rest of the loyal battalion and other camps to attack Chongqing, and the Chongqing defenders were defeated and surrendered the city."

"Surrender?"

Li Ziyuan sneered.

"It's been this year, they sacrificed the city, but just to mix a background, from a traitor to a Ming official army, if this king is not bad, then Li Guoying is probably anxious to mix a background now, if Li Laiheng is willing to accept his surrender, he will definitely surrender!"

Li Guoying in Li Ziyuan's mouth is the governor of Sichuan in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he is the chief soldier under Zuo Liangyu, in the second year of Shunzhi, Zuo Liangyu died of illness, Li Guoying and Zuo Liangyu's son Zuo Mengeng surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing court incorporated Li Guoying into the Han Army Zhenghong Banner and became a member of the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

"I'm afraid Li Laiheng may not have that courage!"

Shaking his head, Xu Yuncheng smiled.

"Li Guoying's Han army and green battalion soldiers are brave no less than 100,000 people, and there is no shortage of fierce generals, but on the other hand, Li Laiheng and his command are only tens of thousands of remnants of the defeated generals, and Chongqing's surrender is just the trend of the times. Therefore, the trend of Sichuan is also defenseless. ”

"No!"

Shaking his head, Li Ziyuan said happily.

"It's naturally okay for us, but for Hong Chengchou, Chongqing's surrender to Li will inevitably affect the overall situation of Sichuan, if Li Guoying descends again, at that time, he Hong Chengchou is the last person who has not surrendered, and the overall situation in the southwest may also change greatly, at that time, it is up to him to surrender or not, Li Dingguo, Mu Tianbo, none of them will let go of this opportunity, Li Laiheng came out, but the situation became more favorable to Yu Gu! At that time, he Hong Chengchou will naturally have fewer chips. ”

This Li Ziyuan's tone looked very proud, he had to be proud, after all, seeing that he could control half of the country, and starting today, this court was also under his control, so how could he be unhappy.

But proud of himself, Li Ziyuan knows very well that now he is the target of everyone, and in addition to being cautious, he is not worried.

Just as the two were talking, someone over there reported that someone from the palace had come.

Someone from the palace is coming?

It was no one else who came, it was Defu who took him to the Forbidden City, and now although Defu is a eunuch in the palace, everyone in the palace knows that he is deeply trusted by the King of Chu, even if he is on an errand in the Forbidden City, it is for the King of Chu, not for the palace.

"The minion knocks on the king!"

He bowed his head obediently, and only after the king had spoken did Defu stand up.

"What about the emperor?"

Looking at Defu, who suddenly came to the house, Li Ziyuan's tone seemed a little puzzled. It's getting late now, and the palace door is about to close, why did he come out at this time?

"The emperor is sick."

Seeing that there were no outsiders in the house, Defu hurriedly replied.

"The emperor fell ill as soon as he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, the slave should die, he was sent to do other errands, and it took an hour to know about it, and as soon as the slave knew the news, he immediately went out of the palace to report to the master."

"Sick? What disease? ”

Li Ziyuan asked with concern.

"Has the Imperial Doctor passed?"

"The imperial doctor has passed, but the imperial doctor can't tell what kind of disease the emperor has."

This does make it difficult for Defu to answer. No one knew what kind of illness the emperor had, and even the imperial doctor couldn't tell why, but he had already inquired about it at that time. As it is now, the emperor's illness is not light.

"However, the servant listened to the report of the internal supervisor in the palace, saying that the emperor fell down when he first arrived at the Qianqing Palace, and then he has been unconscious......"

Unconscious!

This made Li Ziyuan really nervous, and Xu Yuncheng glanced at the king in surprise.

As soon as the emperor returned to Beijing, he fell "ill".

That's a coincidence!

Could it be ...... The reason why Xu Yuncheng looked at Li Ziyuan was because he knew very well that the king in front of him could be described as ambitious, and so was he, but now is the wrong time.

Even if you want to kill the king, you have to wait for two years! Wait until you borrow the emperor's hand and get rid of King Huai before you start, why do you start in a hurry now.

This is ...... Something is wrong!

"So sick!"

Li Ziyuan immediately shouted in shock.

"Let's go, let's hurry up and enter the palace! Does it matter if you are sick? Is it the doctor who saw it? ”

One of the most fundamental reasons why Li Ziyuan was shocked was because the emperor had come to the capital well, but as soon as he arrived here, something happened to the people there.

"King, you can't enter the palace now!"

Xu Yuncheng hurriedly stopped the king and said.

"The king, you are a foreign minister, entering the palace at this time will definitely provoke criticism!"

"Criticism?"

Li Ziyuan was stunned for a moment, and then said.

"Yes, yes, that's right, Defu, you go back to the palace immediately, send someone over outside the palace today, if there is any news, you can send a message at any time!"

After Defu left, Li Ziyuan was already anxious to turn around in place, looking at his eager appearance, Xu Yuncheng seemed to have guessed something.

"I said, I didn't want to do it now, do you believe it?"

Suddenly, Li Ziyuan looked back at Xu Yuncheng and asked.

"Killing him now will definitely be bad for me!"

"Minister, minister......"

After the king said this sentence so bluntly, Xu Yuncheng didn't know, so he could only reply stubbornly:

"Yes! Indeed it is! Yes, you can ......"

"But the world doesn't believe it!"

Li Ziyuan looked up at the window, looked at the already dark sky, and said a little nervously.

"People in the world will definitely not believe that the emperor has arrived in Beijing well, but as a result, something happened just after he arrived, you say, you say, this, will this be too coincidental?"

Turning to stare at Xu Yuncheng, Li Ziyuan said again.

"You say, could it be Zhu Mingzhong's poisonous hand? The reason why he didn't keep the emperor in the first place was because he wanted to cause trouble to me? ”

Li Ziyuan's rhetorical question silenced Xu Yuncheng, and he didn't know how to answer.

"But, but, no, hasn't the emperor already driven him away? Logically, logically...... He, where is he? How did you get the poison? ”

Seeing the king's dejected appearance, Xu Yuncheng said.

"King, the most important thing now is to listen to the emperor's body, this, this is more important than anything else!"

No, the most important thing now is to know the emperor's body. Being reminded by Xu Yuncheng like this, Li Ziyuan immediately said.

"Yes, yes, that's right, that's right, maybe the emperor is just tired all the way, his body is tired, and he is ......"

Thinking of the appearance of the emperor that he saw when he saw the edict, Li Ziyuan said again.

"The emperor's health is not good, this, this is a sudden illness, also, it's normal, Defu, Defu will definitely be able to inquire about the news!"

As a close confidant of the king of Chu, Defu himself doesn't know when he became the king of Chu, anyway, he became the king of Chu in such a daze, and he gladly accepted this.

He likes this kind of taste of being touted in the palace, after all, in the past few years, as a little eunuch, he has been wronged a lot, and now he will no longer bully him, he is the king of Chu!

With King Chu as his backstage, naturally no one in this palace dared to show him a face. Of course, as the king of Chu, he naturally has to do things for the king, just like he went out of the palace to send news before. Now that he is back in the palace, he is naturally asking for news from the king.

As soon as he returned to the palace, Defu found that the atmosphere in the palace seemed to be a little tense, and it seemed that the news that the emperor had fallen ill should have spread out.

Immediately arrived at the Qianqing Palace where the emperor lived, the palace maid saw that it was Defu coming, and her expression changed slightly, in this palace, who doesn't know, this Defu is the person of the King of Chu, after the wind and waves, they naturally know who is the most useful in the capital now, and the nominal owner of the Forbidden City may only be nominal.

"How is the emperor's body now? What do the doctors say? ”

Seeing that the palace maids couldn't say a word clearly, Li Ziyuan shook his hand and said.

"What are you anxious about, the king of Chu has asked me to come and take a look, why is the emperor so sick that he can't get up?"

"Too sick to get out of bed?"

A palace maid replied.

"Father-in-law, take a look for yourself!"

"How?"

Dequan was surprised.

"Could it be that the emperor is up again?"

No one answered him, and after Defu entered the hall, he saw that the imperial doctors were still standing there, all with sad faces, but to his delight, the emperor was lying there upright, and seemed to have woken up, but the emperor's face was ugly, his face seemed to be swollen, and the room also smelled of vomiting.

As a little eunuch, Dequan naturally can't talk nonsense. On the contrary, the queen will ask first.

"Tell me, what's wrong with the emperor?"

The queen asked the imperial doctors, and the faces of the imperial doctors were ugly, and no one could say why.
