Without a Trace Volume 8 Xinjun Chapter 30 Secret Business
、、、、、、、
The states and counties have not yet learned the news that the emperor is seriously ill, so they do not dare to stop Feng Wuxian and his party, but everyone can see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has brought a full 500 military horses, and it is very clear what his intentions are. Some people have speculated whether the situation in Beijing is so serious, however, looking at the faces of those guards Tie Qing, no official will come forward to disturb him.
Out of prudence, Feng Wuxian left Xiao Yunchao and Yu Rongqi in the northwest camp, and left alone without even caring for them and giving excuses. He really didn't want to find time to talk to them anymore, so these trivial matters were left to Feng Wufang. And Lu Yuanchang and Zhang Yunfeng, who were in charge of the important task of Hu Cong, were very excited, although they didn't know why Feng Wuxian was in such a hurry, but they still intuitively smelled a little bit of a major conspiracy, after all, only they knew the mystery. They had already secretly made up their minds, after all, Feng Wufang had already hinted that as long as this mission could be successfully completed, the two of them would have made a great contribution.
With the temperament of the wind and the lawlessness, where would he be patient to explain to those two guys, so he just lightly ordered his subordinates a few words, and placed these two superb masters in a mansion in Longqing County, and sent heavy troops to guard them. Xiao Yunchao and Yu Rongqi were frightened, and they couldn't help but speculate about the situation outside, and even Xiao Yunchao, who had always had the most violent temper, also restrained his arrogance. Although Feng Wufang is a prince, but the house arrest minister is a terrible crime, if there is no Feng Wufang's consent, the other party will never be able to do such a move. At that moment, the two could only wait for the news with peace of mind, and Xiao Yunchao even secretly prayed that the girls in Beijing would not make a mistake.
Sent away Feng Wufang, Feng Wufang did not stop moving, and he immediately sent a henchman. An urgent report was sent to the capital with an expedited amount of 800 miles. The above clearly explained the end of the alliance, and also reported a great victory in vain. In the end, like a dragonfly, he made a stroke, and he had already sent elite soldiers to protect the wind and return to Beijing without a trace. He was completely sure that Wang Feng of Ningjun would not hesitate to see this letter at the first time. Of course, this is also forcing Queen Xiao to make up her mind.
"Uncle Huang. The sea minister, Lord Bao, although it is not polite to summon him overnight, but now he can't care about so much. "Empress Xiao sent twelve henchmen and guards in front of the emperor's palace to subdue the guards of the three mansions with the order of Yizhi. These sergeants were the elite of the infantry army commander Yamen. Zhang Qian had an order in advance not to disobey the queen and the king of Ningjun, so it didn't take much trouble to take the three important ministers out of the palace. Xiao Shi knew in her heart that this move could not be concealed, but when Zhan Pohan had clearly stated that she would comply with the situation, she was not afraid of someone acting against her.
Summoned at night, it is not a problem that the situation is urgent, but considering the hidden situation behind it, Rao is three old and serious. At this time, I couldn't help but be in a trance. Prince Feng Feng reluctantly calmed down his emotions for a while, and then leaned over and asked, "Queen Mother, but is there anything wrong with the emperor's illness?" He knowingly didn't ask anything about Zhang Gan, the commander of the Nine Gates. It must be known that the emperor's edict was not handed over to the three of them, so now that Jiangshan Sheji is decided in the hands of a woman from the Xiao family, it must not be ruined because of temporary gains and losses.
"Your Majesty. He died at the end of the day. Although Xiao Shi wanted to keep calm, his voice couldn't help but tremble a little, "Now you have also seen the situation outside, the emperor still has a very relevant last words to entrust the palace before his death, so the palace does not dare to make a mistake, so I have to announce your entry into the palace first." ”
These words slammed over everyone's heads like thunder, although they had thought of this possibility in advance, but after confirming it from Xiao Shi's mouth, they were still dumbfounded. Haiguanyu saw Bao Huasheng's lips squirming, as if he had the intention of letting out a loud cry, and hurriedly said to stop him: "Lord Bao, now is not the time to mourn. The emperor and the dragon control the guests, and our courtiers must put their lives first, and they must not delay major events for the sake of a momentary feeling. Queen Mother, I don't know what the emperor's will be? ”
Hai Guanyu knew that Xiao's actions were unfathomable, and the previous reversals and the defection of Zhang Gan, the commander of the Nine Gates, would never have been possible without her acquiescence. However, if the Xiao clan really wants to abolish the elders and the young, they only need to act in an overbearing, and there is no need to go through the trouble of announcing them into the palace. What is this queen of the world thinking?
The six eyes were all focused on Xiao Shi's body, and it seemed that there was a momentum to melt all obstacles, and at this moment, their hearts were full of anxiety, for fear that Xiao Shi would spit out an inappropriate name from his mouth.
"The emperor had already handed over the edict to the palace for safekeeping before he became seriously ill." Xiao Shi slowly stood up, showing a little sentimentality on his face, and he didn't look at the first three anxious courtiers, "As for the imperial heir, you should have understood it a long time ago." The first emperor has already appointed the crown prince, and has already sacrificed to heaven and earth, and proclaimed it to the world. Therefore, the new monarch of Zhaozhong is naturally the seventh son of the emperor. ”
Everyone was immediately relieved, but they couldn't help but have doubts again. If the Shaw had known about his fate, then why did he not stop it when the wind did not hesitate to go against the grain, but silently acquiesced to his actions? The two old ministers, Feng Zhi and Hai Guanyu, were thoughtful, and they had already vaguely guessed a few points, and their hearts suddenly shuddered. They have all heard of the Xiao family's past actions, and they can stand out among the many concubines in the harem, although family background and appearance are important, but scheming and courage are also indispensable.
At this moment, Xiao's acquiescence and silence undoubtedly forced the people in the shadows to speed up the pace of planning.
Bao Huasheng still couldn't understand so much, among the four, he was the only one who didn't know about the existence of Feng Huanyu, so he was greatly relieved after knowing the edict. I saw him get up from his seat, and respectfully knelt down and suggested: "Queen Mother, since the emperor has an edict, according to the opinion of Weichen, please immediately summon the ministers to the Taihe Hall early tomorrow morning, and the prince will read the edict." In this way, the chaotic situation and rumors outside can be suppressed, and there will be no more secret schemes. ”
"Lord Bao, this palace knows what you mean, but now is not the time." Xiao Shi said solemnly, "If this palace had not expected to be wrong, Traceless should have rushed back to the capital day and night. Prince An Feng Wufang is the commander of the northwest, and he has always acted shrewdly and prudently, and he will definitely send more armor soldiers to accompany him. Without a trace and leading the respect of the prince, there must be no state or county on the road that dares to boldly block it, so the itinerary should be fast. However, there are far more people in the capital who are eyeing the tigers, and if there is no trace when the edict is announced, what if someone takes the opportunity to make trouble? ”
"Queen Mother, you are trying to suppress those who rebel with a strong hand, and your intentions are naturally good." Feng Li Zhi pondered his sentence and cautiously suggested, "Presumably the emperor has already told you that someone is secretly watching, but how can those young people covet the unification and get the support of many officials in the DPRK and China, it is nothing more than pulling up a big banner and jumping clowns under them." Weichen has heard that some of the older generation of royal families have a posture that is ready to move, but as long as the capital is not chaotic, the world will not be chaotic, if Zhang Qian and other despicable villains are allowed to be presumptuous, I am afraid that people's hearts will be in chaos. ”
"Prince Gangster, rest assured, although Zhang Qian leads the duty of guarding the capital, there is at least one other gate in the capital that is completely controlled by the palace." Xiao Shi smiled slightly, very confident, "This palace has secretly ordered the commander of the Fengtai battalion to be ready to go, as long as there is an order, you can immediately enter the king of Jingqin." However, you should understand that even if the edict is announced, there are still uncertainties when no trace has returned to Beijing. As long as you wait for Traceless to sneak back to the capital secretly, everything can be settled. ”
"The queen is saying that Prince An, in order to use the army as bait and let everyone's energy focus on them, actually let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince enter Beijing in a small team?" Hai Guanyu could hardly believe that Feng Wuxian would take such a risk, "Isn't it a mixture of fish and dragons, and it is difficult to protect?" ”
"It's okay, Zhan Pohan has secretly sent someone to meet him, so there shouldn't be any more mistakes."
Xiao Shi said calmly, "The plan now is to officially spread the news that the emperor is seriously ill, so that those people can move." This palace will inform Zhang Qian, so that he should not interfere in the practice of your house, and you can take the opportunity to meet some officials with ambiguous positions, and spread some rumors by the way. The news of the emperor's death is extremely well sealed in the palace, and it should not spread in the next few days. ”
As soon as the three important ministers said goodbye and left, Wang Feng of Ningjun came to the palace angrily without hesitation, and the people on both sides happened to collide. Due to the number of courtesies, he had to order someone to give way, and pay attention to the faces of the three people, but unfortunately did not see any clues. After entering the Kunning Palace, Feng Wuxi immediately repulsed all the eunuchs and palace maids, and then complained to his mother angrily: "Queen Mother, why did you summon these three people into the palace, don't you know that they are on the side of the seventh brother?" Now, seeing that Erchen is a great hope, do you want to regret it? ”
Looking at this son who has been spoiled since he was a child, but he is not angry at all, Xiao Shi sighed deeply, and it took a long time to cheer up and say: "Aren't you still at ease about doing things for your mother?" They are all important ministers of the state, even if you ascend the throne in the future, should you not denounce them for their previous mistakes? It's reckless enough for you to let Zhang Qian put them under house arrest in the mansion, and now they still look like this, how can they have the majesty of a king? ”
Feng Wuxi felt his faux pas at this time, and his face was a little scornful. He has never been able to figure out the hot and cold of his mother Xiao, but this time he can have such an achievement, relying on his title of the same queen's concubine. "Queen Mother, it's the sons who blame you." He bowed his head and said, but soon regained that fanatical expression, "Erchen has already sent a letter to Min Zhiyuan, the political envoy of Shandong, and after announcing the edict in front of the hundred officials, he will be the first to congratulate him." ”
Xiao could hardly believe that his son would be so short-sighted and stupid, and the matter of seizing the throne only had to be discussed with the minister of Beijing, and only he, a stubborn and self-serving guy, would communicate with foreign officials, isn't this self-defeating? However, it is useless to say anything at this time, and when the chess pieces are useless, they can only become discarded, and this is the only way to choose.
