Guo Xing'a followed the queen and Yi Guifei to the side gate of the Yanbo Zhishuang Palace, and felt that the situation was wrong, the hall was brightly lit, and the civil and military officials knelt neatly in the courtyard according to their shifts. On the windows of the outrooms of the East Warm Pavilion, there were swaying figures, Liu Ruyi and Chen Shengwen walked in and out quickly, and they didn't know what they were busy with. The rules in the palace are strict, and you can't move around without a will, even if it's a big man like the queen, Yi Guifei and Guo Xing'a, you can't just wander around with your mood, you can only take a question mark with a head, and go to Dongnuan Pavilion to say.

In the outer room, standing at the top was Daoguang's younger brother, the fifth master Hui Prince Mianyu, then the fifth master Prince Yicheng, the seventh master alcohol county Wang Yiyun, the sixth forehead Jingshou, Prince Yi Zaiyuan, Prince Zheng Duanhua, and then Su Shun and the four military ministers. As for the officials of the Six Ministries, Jiuqing Kedao and other civil and military officials, as well as the officials of lower rank, they are the people kneeling in the courtyard.

You don't have to look at the faces of these people, but looking at the people present, Guo Xing'a and Concubine Yi will understand what it means. Xianfeng, who persisted for four days, finally couldn't stand it anymore, no matter how reluctant he was, he was going to abandon the world. With such a large group of people here, Xianfeng is going to officially issue a testament and establish the crown prince.

In the Qing Dynasty, there was an ancestral precept that the holy monarch did not set up the prince in the court, and the prince's order was hidden behind the Zhengda Guangming plaque with the emperor's handwritten edict, which is the so-called secret reserve system. However, if it is more true, the so-called secret reserve system has not been implemented at all. Yongzheng's four sons, one was deposed, one was only four years old, and one held a funeral for himself every day, although Yongzheng also kept it secret, but everyone knew who succeeded him. Qianlong was still alive when Jiaqing succeeded to the throne, and there was no secret. Daoguang and Xianfeng were both directly established as crown princes when the first emperor was dying, and then directly succeeded in front of the spirit. Xianfeng has a son, and there is no secret, but the rules still have to be enforced, and Xianfeng still can't issue a decree until the last moment.

Although he used morphine, in fact, after noon on the 16th, Xianfeng fell into a semi-coma again, and did not wake up until the evening, and Xianfeng knew that his time had come. So he immediately ordered Su Shun to gather civil and military officials, and also sent people to find Guo Xing'a, Empress He, and Yi Guifei, but the eunuch who delivered the decree did not find these three people, because these three people were on the way to Yanbo Zhishuang Palace.

The queen and Concubine Yi went into the inner room to find Xianfeng to ask for advice, but Guo Xing'a stayed in the outer room, and the queen had already brought him in, and Guo Xing'a felt that it was not good to quit. And the people outside are all on their knees! It was not easy for him to go out and stand out from the crowd, but he was very tired when he knelt, and his knees hurt, so Guo Xing'a, who was greedy for comfort, chose to stand in the palace. His identity was a little worse than that of these people in the inner room, and even the few kneeling at the entrance of the temple were of a higher status than him. But none of these people in the house were embarrassed to let Guo Xing'a go outside and kneel, and then because of a problem that could not wipe off his face, Guo Xing'a stayed in the temple. I just thought that Guo Xing'a, who was more comfortable standing than kneeling, didn't expect what it meant to be a foreign minister standing in the palace at this time.

Xianfeng in the back room was lying on the bed with his face up, gasping for air. The imperial physician Luan Tai, Li Deli, Yang Chun and others were waiting at the bedside, preparing all kinds of emergency medicines and morphine in front of them, in case there was an emergency. When the queen and Concubine Yi came in, Xianfeng nodded, and there was no superfluous indication that he needed to accumulate energy. The two reported on the matter of asking Guoxing'a to transfer troops, and Xianfeng also nodded in agreement, but did not give an order and did not let the two leave.

Xianfeng gritted his teeth and moved, looking like he wanted to sit up. The queen and Concubine Yi hurriedly helped him up gently, and built cotton pads and pillows around him, so that Xianfeng had a place to lean on. After Xianfeng sat down, he closed his eyes and thought for a while before he left behind the preparation of the edict for the last time in his life.

"Ruyi, tell Su Shun to come in!"

Xianfeng had already explained to Liu Ruyi the candidate who wanted to come in to undertake the order, but Xianfeng, who was seriously ill, did not explain very carefully, and said in general terms that Su Shun and others were involved. Afraid that Liu Ruyi would make a mistake, Xianfeng also deliberately explained who not to look for, that is, the old fifth master Hui Prince Mianyu, the fifth master Prince Yiyi, and the seventh master Wang Yiyun. Liu Ruyi also confirmed with Xianfeng, except for the three princes in the palace, everyone else came in, and Xianfeng also felt that there was no problem. However, no one expected that there would be an extra Guoxing in the palace.

When Liu Ruyi came out, he was stunned when he saw Guo Xing'a, and Guo Xing'a was not mentioned in the original explanation. Whether to let Guo Xing'a in, he was in trouble, and he wasn't sure if Guo Xing'a was arranged by Xianfeng.

"Call Su Shun and the others!" Liu Ruyi couldn't eat it accurately, so he repeated the meaning of Xianfeng.

Xianfeng had explained to Su Shun before, Su Shun naturally passed through the qi with others, who should go in at this time, everyone should know in their hearts, so Liu Ruyi wanted these people to be conscious. However, as soon as Liu Ruyi's voice fell, Guo Xing'a just looked up blankly and didn't move, until it was Wang Yiyun of the Seventh Master Alcohol County who followed Jing Shou and was about to go inside.

Guo Xing'a knew that the person who went in should be the person who undertook the edict, that is, the minister who entrusted Gu, so he didn't want to wade into this troubled water, so he still stood comfortably. Yi Xun also knows what it means to be able to go in, the six brothers-in-law who are full of money can go, why can't he go. Therefore, Yi Xuan didn't care whether he had himself or not, and then he wanted to go inside, and wanted to get in while others were unprepared.

"Seventh Master, Long Live Lord didn't call you!" Liu Ruyi didn't know if there was Guoxing, but he knew that there was no Yiyun.

"The six donkeys are all in, why don't you let me in!" Yi Xun wants to play a scoundrel, anyway, Xianfeng is about to swallow, and he has no scruples.

Liu Ruyi only stopped it, and Yiyun whispered that he had to go in, and his voice became higher and higher. Afraid of alarming the people in the inner room and outside the hall, the old fifth master Mianyu and the fifth master also came to persuade him, and Guo Xing'a was a little embarrassed to stand alone on the side, so he could only step forward to dissuade Yiyun.

"Seventh Master, the emperor will definitely have a will for you, and you are not in a hurry at this time!" Guo Xing'a was purely a member of the group, and he also stopped in front of Yi Xun and said absent-mindedly. And he thinks Yi Xun is a little funny, Xianfeng and Su Shun have already set the big thing, and the people on the list are all angry, and you can add your name to the edict if you mix in.

"You ......" Yi Xun suddenly saw Guo Xing'a who stopped in front of him with a strange smile on his face, and he was so frightened that he fell back again and again, and almost didn't sit on the ground. Guo Xing'a wanted to go forward to help Yi Xun, but Yi Xun panicked even more, and Guo Xing'a could only take a few steps back in a row to calm Yi Xun.

Guo Xing'a is just making up the numbers, but Yiyun doesn't think so. Guo Xing'a has a heavy army in his hands and is known as the first fierce general in Manchuria, and his appearance in the Yanbo Zhishuang Hall at this time definitely has a special significance. In Yiyun's eyes, Guoxing'a represents force, the force that escorts Xianfeng's life. Guo Xing'a originally laughed at Yi Xun's too innocent smile, but Yi Xun also understood it as a threat, if he dared to mess around at this time, Guo Xing'a would dare to attack him. So Yi Xun, who was still noisy just now, was frightened back by Guo Xing'a in an instant, and fought far away like a good baby.

"General Guo, please go in!" Liu Ruyi misunderstood.

Yi Xun was going to follow Jing Shou into the inner room, so the place where Liu Ruyi stopped Yi Xun was already very close to the door of the inner room. Guo Xing'a stopped in front of Yi Xun, then took a few steps back, and by this time he was already standing at the door of the inner room with his back to him. Liu Ruyi looked at the position where Guo Xing'a was standing, and mistakenly thought that he was also going to enter the back room, and he didn't move before to suppress the trespassers.

"Okay!" Guo Xinga also misunderstood.

Liu Ruyi looked at himself for a while when he came out, and now he even named himself to let him in, Guo Xing'a mistakenly thought that this was Xianfeng's will. Although he has a general relationship with Xianfeng, he has a male soldier in his hand who can decide the direction of the Qing Dynasty, and Xianfeng may completely envelop himself with the dignity of a minister. As long as he becomes a minister, Su Shun definitely has the ability to drive himself, at least he can ensure the safety of the eldest brother before returning to Luan. Moreover, Concubine Yi let herself transfer troops to the palace this time, which is also an absolute reliance on herself, maybe Concubine Yi recommended herself to Xianfeng in order to ensure the status of their mother and son.

Guo Xing'a could only follow Liu Ruyi into the back room, and the eight ministers inside had already knelt neatly, and Guo Xing'a could only kneel alone in the back. Xianfeng was about to state his intentions, and suddenly saw Liu Ruyi bring Guo Xing'a in again, and almost didn't fall off the bed. However, Guo Xing'a knelt honestly, Liu Ruyi nodded at Xianfeng with a safe and sound appearance, and Xianfeng could only act according to the original plan.

Xianfeng's body couldn't hold it anymore, and he no longer had the energy to ask why Guo Xing'a appeared here. Since he has come, he can only be wrong, as long as Guoxing'a is obedient to the order, it will not affect the overall situation, and it is also a good thing to have one more Guoxing'a among the ministers of Tuogu. In this way, Guo Xing'a can bear the name of a minister who trusts orphans, and if Guo Xing'a dares to usurp in the future, he will be a treacherous public enemy of the world. Although the practical significance is not great, at least it can put another shackle on Guoxinga morally, anyway, the rights of the minister will not be given to Guoxinga, and everyone will not suffer. Moreover, with the help of Guoxing's military power, he can escort the eldest brother, and Concubine Yi also has more room to operate.

"I and Qing will be separated, and the major events behind me will also be given to Qing and others. I intend to set up the eldest brother Zaichun as the crown prince to inherit the unification, but the young lord Chongling succeeded to the throne, and no one could assist him, so I entrusted the eldest brother and the Qing Dynasty to the Qing and other eight ...... Nine people! Xianfeng's words had been prepared a long time ago, and Ba had already said that he was used to it, so he could only correct it temporarily.

"The ministers (minions) and others will receive the holy order, and they will do their best to assist the young master!" The ministers of the Han Dynasty in the room bowed their heads in unison, and then chanted the scriptures and said some clichés neatly.

However, Su Shun was taken aback, obviously he was an assistant to the eight ministers, when was there one more, and there were eight people who just came in? Su Shun peeked back very disagreeably, and then found the lonely Guoxing'a who was kneeling at the end of the crowd. The heart was even more shocked, Guo Xing'a and Xianfeng had both moved their knives, and they could still be ranked as Gu Di, which was really a strange skill. Xianfeng's boldness in employing people made Su Shun dare not imagine.

Guo Xing'a is not much better than Su Shun, he has never wanted to get involved in the coup d'état of Xinyou, but he has become one of the ministers of Tuogu, which is really evil. It's not fun at all for the eight ministers to become the nine ministers, Guo Xing'a, who was originally at ease, suddenly lost the two helpers of Yi Guifei and Yi Xin, but there were two more strong enemies, Cixi and Prince Gong.

"Ruyi, bring the red pen!" Xianfeng wanted to write the edict in his own hand, and complete the final legal procedure.
