Without a Trace Volume 9 Jiangshan Chapter 27 Edict
、、、、、、、
Because everyone in the palace thought that Xiao Yunchao, with his status as a relative, would never be able to falsely pass on the decree, his actions in the palace did not arouse much suspicion. Even Chen Lingcheng held the emperor's jade pendant as a certificate, and it took a lot of effort to make everyone understand what had happened. Chen Lingcheng was not a mediocre hand, after several open and secret battles, he secretly rescued Ling Renjie and others who were under house arrest, and the guard office returned to their hands, and those henchmen left by Xiao Yunchao were already tied up before they even had time to send a signal.
Xiao Yunchao was worried that the Empress Dowager Xiao was hiding from him, so he used Cining Palace as his base camp and gave orders inside, but he didn't think about his mistake at all. The difference between poisonous bees and wild bees is just one word, and the effects are very different, so he didn't expect that Feng Wuxian had already woken up. However, several entrances and exits of the imperial city have been firmly occupied by his henchmen, coupled with the deterrence of the Empress Dowager, he is not afraid that someone will easily break into the palace.
As a result, the outside of the imperial city is already chaotic. The hooligan prince dragged the sick body and tried to break through, but was blocked from the door. The vermilion lacquer gate inlaid with copper nails seemed to be a demon to block all the civil and military officials, and some suspicious officials saw that Bao Huasheng and the others were all full of sorrow, and they knew that a great change must have happened in the palace. The guards guarding the gate kept claiming that they were following the orders of the Empress Dowager, which made everyone else helpless, and even the prince did not dare to order Xu Chun, the commander of the Nine Gates, to lead his troops to charge, after all, the crime of trespassing on the imperial city was to destroy the nine clans.
"Prince Gangster, now you have to wait?" Bao Huasheng asked unwillingly, "The emperor was injured in an attack earlier. Now that the news in the palace is claustrophobic, and we don't know anything, don't we just sit and wait for the news? It doesn't have to be too ......," he shut suddenly. As the prime minister, what he should do at this time is to appease the officials. Instead of complaining here, he had to cast an apologetic look at the wind scoundrel.
"I just have to wait." Feng Lizhi shook his head helplessly, he suddenly turned his gaze to Xu Chun, and commanded categorically. "Lord Xu, you immediately send people to firmly surround every gate of the Imperial City, and you must not miss the idle people. As soon as the door opens, you will notify me. Also, as long as it is not the emperor's will, you will not obey the edict for the time being. This king wants to see what kind of people dare to waste in the palace! ”
Even Prince Feng Wuqing on the side was worried, however, although he was also a prince. At this time, he was a little unable to interject. After all, Bao Huasheng and the others are all important ministers of the imperial court, and they are far better than him. At this moment, he just waited to silently pray that the emperor would be safe. He has no wind and can have today's glory and wealth, all of which are given by the emperor's younger brother, if the emperor really has anything. Then he will have no future either.
Xu Chun naturally agreed, if it weren't for the laws of the court and the emperor's temperament, I am afraid that he would have led his troops to rush in. However, just as Prince Hogan considered, whether it was public or private, he had to weigh the pros and cons, and he could not act rashly. "Don't worry, the lower officials will definitely follow Jun's orders and not let go of a suspicious person." While he agreed, he glanced at the ministers with a cold gaze, and the silent warning suddenly made many officials cringe.
Xiao Yunchao, who thought that he had fulfilled his wish, couldn't help but be a little arrogant in Cining Palace, however, his every move fell in the eyes of others. Feng Huanyu and Feng Wulin could guess that Xiao Yunchao's next step was to summon a group of princes in the imperial family, and then take advantage of the situation to announce the death of the emperor. It can be said that every move is not wrong, but if someone is watching from behind, his idea will be frustrated.
Sure enough, Xiao Yunchao, who thought he had mastered the overall situation, finally entered the Xiao family's dormitory again, and opened his mouth to ask his sister to summon the kings of the royal family into the palace. Knowing that the situation was not good, the Xiao family insisted on refusing, and after the two bargained repeatedly, the Xiao family finally agreed to the matter, but added Bao Huasheng and several six monks in addition to the royal kings. Xiao Yunchao considered that these people were powerless, so he reluctantly agreed. By the time Xiao stamped the Empress Dowager's seal on the paper, it was already the third day after the imperial city was blocked.
After getting the so-called Yi Decree, Xu Chun did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent someone to invite Feng Luzhi and others to discuss. Feng Zhi and Bao Huasheng looked at each other, but finally had to agree, after all, they are courtiers, and it is not a way to be so deadlocked outside, it is better to go into the palace to find out.
However, both of them were a little uneasy in their hearts, Hai Guanyu still had no news in the palace, and among the royal kings, there were only a few people who really had the same heart as the emperor, and almost all of the others had ulterior motives.
Under the persuasion of the two, Xu Chun had to give up the idea of rushing in on his own, but he was extremely anxious in his heart. However, he still immediately sent people to invite the kings and officials mentioned in the edict, and for a while, the mansion of the landlord in Beijing was another jump. After everyone gathered, everyone found that Xiao Yunchao's figure was missing, and his face was suddenly extremely ugly, at this moment, who would not be able to see this famous hall, but the Empress Dowager Yizhi was genuinely placed here, what else could they say?
After discussing for a while, they entered the imperial city in order, and the guards guarding the door hurriedly closed the gate after everyone entered, which made Xu Chun's heart even more doubtful, he thought about it again, and waved his hand to summon his lieutenant general, and asked him to select a few people with strong martial arts, and then led people to cover up in a place he was familiar with.
On the way to the palace, they all found the tense situation in the palace, so they were already a little apprehensive in their hearts, only Prince Zhuang and others exchanged a look, obviously prepared. Sure enough, as soon as they entered the main hall of Cining Palace, they found Xiao Yunchao standing there with a smile on his face, and at this time, one of their hearts immediately sank towards the bottomless abyss.
Xiao Yunchao has his own reasons for becoming a bamboo in his chest, just now, the henchman sent to the Qinzheng Palace to inquire about the news reported that the emperor still has not woken up, and this news suddenly made him see the dawn of success. It must be known that before plotting against the emperor, he figured out the characteristics of the nest of poisonous bees, as long as it did not wake up within four days, it was incurable. Now it seems that this throne is a matter of ironclad.
"Lord Xiao, we obviously came to meet the Queen Mother by the order of the Queen Mother, why are you the only one here, the Queen Mother?" The wind scoundrel asked unceremoniously. He is the prince who manages the children of the royal family, so he is not afraid of the identity of Xiao Yunchao's relatives, and at this time, considering that the other party may be acting pretentiously, how can he have any polite words.
"The Queen Mother is sick and specially appointed me to pass the decree on her behalf, and the prince will not suspect that I am overbearing?" Xiao Yunchao thought that he had military power in his hands, so he was very calm, "You must know that the decree just now was written by the Queen Mother herself, and it was stamped with her seal, where did it be fake?" Besides, I am the elder brother of the Queen Mother, and it is natural for me to spread the word in this era. ”
Bao Huasheng immediately realized that the general situation was not good, and immediately asked: "Lord Xiao doesn't need to worry about him, why did he summon me to wait?" He asked straightforwardly, but the person moved a step towards the wind hooligan, and similarly, He Weitao and Yue Qianfan also glanced at each other, and leaned towards the two of them together, even Feng Wuqing thought about it again and again, and did the same. In this way, there are five people on the side of Feng Gangzhi, in the middle are Prince He Feng Wuhou and Jiajun Wang Feng are unharmed, and on the other side are Prince Li Feng Huaizhang, Prince Zhuang Feng Huaiqi, Qingjun Wang Feng Huaide and Sujun Wang Feng Huaiyin Four old princes, a total of more than a dozen people are divided into three distinct factions.
"The Queen Mother summoned you here, naturally there is something important to discuss." Xiao Yunchao smiled confidently, and then said leisurely, "You must have also gotten the news, the emperor was stung by a poisonous bee, and the imperial doctors tried their best to regulate but did not make much progress, and now they are already dying." As soon as he said this, everyone's faces suddenly had different expressions. Hai Guanyu and other insiders certainly felt incredible, and the other people who were in the dark were even more shocked, and for a while, these people were all stunned on the spot.
"The country cannot be without a king for a day, everyone should understand this truth, so the queen mother saw that the emperor's body was getting weaker and weaker, so she had to issue an order to invite you to come and discuss the establishment of a new king." Xiao Yunchao got to the point, and the expression on his face became solemn, "What the Queen Mother means is that the emperor has no concubines today, and all the concubines are young and unworthy of the throne. And the queen mother's youngest son, Feng, is already an adult, and he is the best candidate to inherit the throne. The words have already been said on this, how could Feng Lizhi and the others not know the meaning of Xiao Yunchao's drunkard, Bao Huasheng snorted coldly, and retorted on the spot: "When the first emperor died, Feng did not hesitate to do something rebellious and wanted to take the throne. At that time, the queen mother and the emperor were thinking about the love of flesh and blood, which was just to take away his title and make him read and nurture in the palace. Now the emperor is just a little sick, even if he really wants to establish a prince, the emperor already has the prince by his side, and the queen and Concubine Xun are also pregnant, and there is no reason to set up others. Lord Xiao, as a courtier, you should have borrowed the matter of the emperor's appointment of a prince? ”
Bao Huasheng's words suddenly made Xiao Yunchao angry, and he was about to speak back, but unexpectedly, Prince Zhuang Feng Huaiqi on the side suddenly opened his mouth and echoed: "Although Lord Xiao is a third-class Chengen Gong, he still has no right to represent the Queen Mother. Don't forget, none of the lords and princes here are below you, and you are already borrowing from the top of the ranks. If it is true that the Queen Mother intends to establish the wind and do not hesitate to be the reserve, you might as well invite the Queen Mother to let me wait to see you. If the Queen Mother admits it, then we will be edicted. ”
Xiao Yunchao summoned the kings of the royal family with Yi's decree, so that these old princes had already stopped asking about political affairs, and it was just easy to grasp it when the time came. However, he didn't know the relationship like Feng Luzhi and the others, so when he saw Prince Zhuang's attitude so tough, he was stunned for a while. It is true that he controls most of the military power in the inner court, but if he really tears his face with these people, it will be difficult to win the trust of hundreds of officials even if he makes the so-called decree of succession.
