Without a Trace Volume 8 Xinjun Chapter 24 Restlessness
、、、、、、、
The emperor's illness came very suddenly, and even Bao Huasheng and Hai Guanyu felt uneasy, when they faced the saint in the morning, the emperor still looked like he was in good spirits, and in the afternoon he couldn't meet the courtiers. However, this was only the beginning, Zhang Gan, the commander of the Nine Gates, dispatched troops to protect the mansions of the important ministers, and Wang Feng of Ningjun frequently entered and exited the palace without hesitation, as if everything was developing like the most complicated situation.
Although the sergeants who came to support him claimed that the whole city was under martial law at the behest of the emperor, the blockade of the prince's East Palace was undoubtedly a great rebellion. Hai Ruoxin had the heart to refute it, but was persuaded by others, the current situation is no longer allowed for any mistakes, not to mention that Hai Ruoxin, as the crown princess and the eldest granddaughter of the Hai family, is still useful. Although the main entrance and side doors of the East Palace have been blocked, Chen Lingcheng happened to be not in the palace that day, and everyone's hopes were pinned on him.
Ming Fang Zhenren stood alone in front of the window and sighed heavily, the day he feared inevitably came. Going against the will of heaven with the power of one person, no matter how high his cultivation is, it will be in vain, but is that inscrutable fate really irreversible? He shook his head helplessly, with his experience and vision, how could he not see that the emperor had already passed on the talisman treasure to Feng Wuxi, but this kind of behavior of drinking to quench his thirst made this supreme in a predicament now. Internal and external troubles are nothing more than that, but what's the use of worrying about them?
Two figures silently appeared in the room, and they were the two shadow guards who never left the emperor's side for a moment. "True person, the emperor has a decree, if he is sick, he can't afford it. Let us both do as you command. One of them spoke coldly, as if he were not talking about the heavy supreme on the sickbed, as if the emperor was not their master.
The corners of Ming Fang's real person's mouth pulled a wry smile. Listen to your own orders? If it weren't for the emperor's determination that he had already fallen in love with the wind without a trace, I am afraid that the order at this moment would be to kill. He looked up at his already gray-black skin. Only then did he order: "I'm afraid the emperor's days won't be long, Poor Dao knows that he left a lot of chess pieces before, and you should also know how to use them." However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is far away in the northwest, if someone instigates and tempts Prince An. Or give him some promise, and it won't end well. Poor Dao is just a reminder, what to do Poor Dao doesn't want to interfere, the world is a catastrophe, alas, is it really a demon star of fate? He uttered the last strange sentence without a clue, and refused to speak again.
The two shadow guards glanced at each other, and their figures suddenly dissipated like smoke, as if there had never been a human figure in the room. "Alas, the time is coming. If Yan Xiu can solve that last hurdle, I will have no regrets. Ming Fang Zhenren muttered to himself, "The avenue is invisible. It's just that I don't have a proof. There was also a hint of gray and black on his face, and then it was strangely fleeting.
Empress Xiao has ordered the guards to protect the entire Qinzheng Palace since the day the emperor fell ill, and ordered all the people in the Tai Hospital to live in the side palace of the Qinzheng Palace, and everyone must be allowed to enter and leave by her. And that's not all. She also made an edict as the queen, and the concubines of the six palaces were not allowed to be connected without permission, and those guards watched almost every dormitory closely. At this moment, even a powerful concubine like Gonghui Imperial Concubine He Xueming did not dare to act rashly, and no one wanted to be killed because of trivial matters.
Feng did not hesitate to know that the emperor was seriously ill, so he stepped up his planning, and even entered the palace several times to ask to see Empress Xiao. Sure enough, Xiao, who has spoiled him since he was a child, gave a positive reply to many hints about him, which made the conceited wind feel extraordinarily proud, once his father died, the queen mother could temporarily hold power as the queen mother, plus the first principal of the He Xiao family was not there, and the situation was extremely favorable to him. As long as he buys off the Northwest King Feng Wufang, and then overhauls him, and gives Feng Wuxian a charge at will, then he, the prince, will be the end. The wind, who was already a little fluttering, did not hesitate to think that there were far more people behind him than he imagined.
Zhang Qian, the commander of the Nine Gates, was the emperor's most trusted person, and his favor was even above the Fengtai battalion commander Zhan Pohan stationed outside the city. The infantry army commanded the yamen under the jurisdiction of the entire capital's defense forces, so the successive governors were all ministers of the Son of Heaven, without exception, what they were afraid of was that someone would collude with them to plot rebellion. It's just that since Wanlie became the commander of the Nine Gates for five years, he has never moved his rank, but Zhang Gan, who has been constantly receiving various rewards, may not have other calculations in his heart.
Although it is the queen's will to protect the mansion of important ministers, Zhang Gan's practice is particularly strange. Hai Guanyu and Bao Huasheng and other emperors' most trusted courtiers, he sent elites under his command, but like those ministers who had ambiguous positions and were entangled with various princes, he sent some perfunctory characters. Therefore, these smart-minded officials took advantage of this rare opportunity to pay off the sergeants guarding the door, and sent the central cabinet to contact their respective masters, and the entire capital was like a group of demons dancing wildly.
The news of the emperor's serious illness made Feng Huanyu suspicious for a while, so he would not easily believe the nonsense and rumors in the court. For the many methods of the emperor's Fenghuanzhao, he is a person who has suffered a big loss, so after repeated shots, he will never believe that the always shrewd Fenghuanzhao will not be able to see through the slightest clue. However, after Feng Wurin secretly contacted the inner line in the palace, Feng Huanyu finally determined that the emperor Feng Huanzhao, who had made him suffer a lot, seemed to have really reached the last days.
Due to the integration of several forces, the strength of Fenghuanyu can be said to have increased dramatically, however, there are also many things he promised out. Prince Zhuang Feng Huaiqi and other princes are not verbally promised to be able to send away, they have been trembling under the power of the emperor for many years, and naturally they are not willing to be rich and honorable without real power, therefore, almost everyone of them asked for considerable power, and almost all the provinces were divided up by them. However, Feng Huanyu's scheming is not trivial, although he doesn't know how much he has gone out, but he has also learned a trick to hide all the birds over the years, so he is not afraid of the threats of these princes and lions.
However, the help of several old princes is also extraordinary, in just a few months, the tentacles of Fenghuanyu have extended to the depths of various departments, and the power of the provinces is also increasing day by day, as long as you can hold up a puppet with a proper name, commanding the world is no longer a dream. In such a good situation, Fenghuanyu is also faintly looking forward to the upcoming storm. Because, his men have already arrived in the territory of the southwest Burmese Yang tribe, just waiting for a lore.
Queen Xiao stood in the Kunning Palace in a daze, except for Rouping, who was not leaving, the rest of the people were driven out of the dormitory by her. From the day the Emperor suddenly fell seriously ill, she knew that she had to make a choice, whether it was for the sake of her family or herself. In all dynasties, there are not only the queen mothers who hold great power and command the world, but also the lonely women who stay alone in the cold palace and live in tears, and the queen mothers who are at odds with the emperor's son and even died by a glass of wine. Whether it is Feng Wuxian or Feng Wuxi, they are her biological sons, however, she knows deeply that there is only one person who can sit firmly in the country.
Rouping stood behind her master in horror, knowing nothing. Wang Feng of Ningjun had already sent people to greet her many times, and all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry had sent boxes after boxes, just to let her say a few good words in front of the queen. However, how dare Rouping, who has been immersed in the palace for many years, dare to mix at this time, for the sake of An Feng's unsparing heart, she accepted all the things without pulling the ground, but she didn't say a word, lest she anger the bottom line in the master's heart.
"Rouping, did you say that the situation in the capital is already known without a trace?" Xiao asked seemingly casually.
Rou Ping suddenly felt trembling, and only replied in a low voice for a long time: "Although Lord Zhang, the Admiral of the Nine Gates, has blocked the capital, but according to the slave maid, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may have received the news. ”
"Well, that's right, Traceless is cautious, and will never be kept in the dark because of someone else's deliberate concealment." Xiao Shi nodded and said, "You send someone to inform him, if he has the ability, he might as well try, this palace is too lazy to meddle in his business." This sentence is like five thunderbolts, Rao is Rouping has been prepared in advance, and at this moment, she can't help palpitating. Xiao's words were undoubtedly acquiescing to Feng's unsparing move, but if this was really the case, what did she mean by her previous words? Xiao Shi didn't explain, and directly waved his hand to make his henchman retreat. Although she didn't have the slightest suspicion of Rouping, at this time, she had to be extremely careful, it was far more than her own two sons who coveted the throne, not to mention that there were three princes in the capital who were qualified to win the great treasure, even those old princes were not easy to deal with.
However, Xiao Shi is confident that he can suppress the situation, not to mention the edict handed over to her by the emperor himself, but the tens of thousands of military horses in the Fengtai camp are not vegetarians. The choice of Zhang Gan, the commander of the Nine Gates, was to seek wealth without hesitation for the wind, which was undoubtedly the most stupid move. If she hadn't made an edict in order to watch the situation, I'm afraid that Zhang Qian would have died a long time ago and had no place to be buried. That's right, whether it's for the sake of justification or for the unification of the country, she is bound to support Wuxi, but in order to fight for more chips for herself, the more chaotic the situation is, the more important she can show as a queen. In this way, after Traceless ascends the throne in the future, she will not be disobedient to her, the queen mother, this is the real plan of the Xiao family.
However, Zhan Pohan should also send someone to contact him. A sneer appeared on Xiao's face, Zhang Qian had met her through the curtain when he went to the palace to report first, and the horses were beating the sky, I really don't know why the emperor would take a fancy to such a good thing back then. Thanks to this person's blessing, now there will be no restrictions on her people entering and leaving the city gate, but it is not necessary to go to the northwest to report the news, if there is no trace and even this ability, the throne will not be stable.
The wind has no direction, the wind has no direction...... Xiao couldn't help but say this name, how would he deal with himself? Lingyun Zhiwei Traceless Chapter 8 Xinjun Chapter 24 Restlessness
