The emperor suddenly fell seriously ill and had been bedridden for several days, but this news was tightly sealed by several political ministers who accompanied Chang'an.

No one knew why, the emperor suddenly fell ill, and the illness came like a mountain.

The Provincial Pharmacy Bureau, which was in charge of the emperor's medical medicines, was helpless.

In the end, even the Taichang Temple, who was in charge of medical teaching, was also summoned, and even the medicine gardener in charge of the medicine garden was also called.

But in the face of the emperor's sudden illness, these people couldn't even determine the cause.

"With so many doctors, can't even find out a single cause?"

Hou Mo Chen Yi was furious.

Although they blocked the news of the emperor's sudden strange illness, how long could they block it. At this critical time, if the emperor has three longs and two shorts, not to mention that the war on the Tuyuhun front line may have problems, even the internal situation will be unstable.

"Your Majesty has been in a coma for three days, and now he hasn't even found a cause, let alone a treatment." Wei Zheng was worried, "I thought that we should prepare in advance, just in case." ”

"What preparation?" Wang Ziming asked uneasily.

After Wei Zheng turned his head to look at the screen in the hall, the emperor was lying there without the slightest movement. This emperor is only less than thirty years old, but is it going to collapse?

Great Qin has not yet unified the world, and it has only been a few years since the founding of the country, if the emperor suddenly goes west, this world that has just been pacified is afraid that there will be chaos again.

The prince is still so young, the key is that there are a few princes in the clan who are so capable of fighting.

"As the prime minister of His Majesty, we are in charge of the government, and in the current situation of Your Majesty, it is our duty to seek medical advice, but we must also prepare for the worst to avoid the irretrievable situation in the future. I thought that I should immediately send someone to Luoyang to secretly welcome the prince. Once there is something, you can immediately welcome the crown prince to the throne in Chang'an, and stabilize the situation with orthodoxy. ”

"Wei Laodao, what nonsense are you talking about, Your Majesty is in the prime of spring and autumn, how can it be in case?" Hou Mo Chen said angrily.

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case." Wei Zhengdao.

The eleven prime ministers of the political affairs hall, now Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are sitting in Luoyang to assist the prince to stay in prison, and Zhang Xutuo and Wei Wensheng, the two prime ministers, went to Longyou Hexi to preside over the war.

There were also seven prime ministers in Chang'an City.

Imperial Doctor Du Yan had a gloomy face, "What about Li Junxian, aren't they omnipotent in the pro-military government, why did such a big thing happen, but they don't even have an investigation result now, whether someone poisoned it, or someone cursed Gu, he came up with a result?" ”

Now the results given by the imperial doctors are that the emperor is not poisoned, and as for whether someone cursed or something, they dare not say, because this thing has no basis.

"Which army is the most credible in Chang'an City now?" Chen Shuda, the new squire, asked.

"The most credible person is naturally Yu Lin Lang, but the Yu Lin Army only has the emperor's warrant to mobilize, even if I am the prime minister, I can't be mobilized without His Majesty's warrant." Hou Mo Chen Yi replied.

At present, the three major systems of the imperial court army are the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, the Southern Yafu Soldiers and the Inner Ya Army, and the Yulin Army belongs to the Son of Heaven pro-army, but it also belongs to the Inner Ya in name, but the three Ya of the Imperial Court did not set up a master.

The transfer of the military guard requires the signature of the emperor, the Privy Council, the military department, and even the political hall.

Wei Zheng sat there with a sad expression.

The emperor is so good, even comparable to Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, far more than Chen Baxian, the founding emperor of the Southern Chen, and not worse than Yuwen Yong, the Wu Emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but such a great king, but he had physical problems at such a young age.

Is it really jealous of talents?

Heroes are short-lived?

Although they didn't want to face the worst, as prime ministers, they had to start discussing how to prepare in advance if that really happened.

The most important thing is, of course, to support the crown prince to ascend the throne smoothly.

Although the crown prince is young, there is no way to help the prince succeed to the throne, and if any of the emperor's brothers succeed to the throne, it will attract the dissatisfaction of other people, which will inevitably lead to chaos. can be the crown prince, and you have to worry about other people's dissatisfaction.

Fortunately, among the emperor's brothers, the most prestigious people in the army are Siye, Cunxiao, and Shixin, and Heiye and Cunxiao are now outside, and Shixin is in Liaodong, but this prince does not seem to have such ambitions.

"What about the battle in Helong?"

Chen Shuda asked, Qin Qiong sent back a hurry, saying that now the Western Turks have recruited another 200,000 troops and marched east in two ways, all the way to Hexi, and all the way to Tuyuhun.

Other intelligence shows that the Tubo people have also mobilized 60,000 soldiers and horses to the north, including the Tubo army on two routes, Bailan, Duomi, Dangxiang, White Wolf, Dongnu Zhuxi Qiang, and sent 40,000 troops. The southern Japanese are still mobilizing troops and horses, and it is expected that there will be 40,000 or 50,000 horses to continue to reinforce the north.

Now Luo Siye led 90,000 soldiers and civilians to hold on to Dafeiling, and he was already surrounded by 100,000 enemy troops and was waiting for rescue.

"Qin Qiong has already transferred the Hexi army assembled in Fuqicheng, Qinghai back to Hexi to defend, and did not send some additional soldiers and horses to them, now 60,000 soldiers and horses have returned to Hexi, and 40,000 people are stationed in Fuqicheng. However, in the face of no less than 400,000 allied troops of the Tuyuhun, Western Turks, and Tubo coalition armies, the situation is still not optimistic. ”

Hou Mo Chen Yi waved his fist, "Didn't you already mobilize all the soldiers and horses to prepare for war before, and ordered, transfer all the soldiers and horses to the west and fight them." ”

Wen Yanbo, a scholar of the Hallym Academy, objected.

"At this time, it is not appropriate to raise a large army and fight a big battle. It is better to send people to negotiate peace with the Western Turks and Tibet. ”

Wei Zheng said coldly, "Your Majesty has already set up a national motto, and you will not discuss peace and harmony. ”

"But it's a different story now."

"What's the difference? Fight with them! ”

The official secretary and the Pingzhang Shi Qu Tutong have not been silent, and finally spoke out at this time.

"I think that you can fight. At this time, before the war started, he took the initiative to seek peace, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to make peace, so it was better to finish the battle first. ”

Hou Mo Chen Yi is even more resolute in the main battle faction, "Then reply to Qin Qiong immediately and tell him that the imperial court supports his decision." The imperial court immediately sent a large army over, and asked him to guard the ambush city first, and not to go south easily, so as not to fall into the thieves' tricks and ambush. This time, we will mobilize troops and horses to fight a big battle with them in a dignified manner. ”

"Think twice." Chen Shuda advised that the emperor was unconscious and didn't know what else to do, and it was too dangerous to fight a big battle that would mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops at this time.

Wei Zheng narrowed his eyes, "The news of the complete blockade of the Taiji Palace, never leak half the news of His Majesty's state, and welcome the prince secretly first, even if His Majesty really makes a big trip, he must finish this battle and then ask the prince to succeed to the throne!" ”
