Volume 4: Chapter 58 of the Emperor's Prosperous Age

"The East Palace will release the news of the emperor's illness?" Hearing Fang Yanqian's words, everyone was stunned and quickly analyzed the pros and cons

At present, the emperor has been ill for five days, and the carrier pigeons of Renshou Palace send a message to the East Palace once a day, and the emperor's body has improved after a few days of recuperation, but he still can't get out of bed, let alone review the chapter to deal with political affairs, but because Renshou Palace blocked the news of the emperor's illness, the hundred officials did not know, so although the capital was surging, it was not alarmed on the surface.

Originally, Zhang Qiu Taiyi and others thought that the news of the emperor's illness came out, and those who did not want the prince to ascend the throne would definitely take action, but they didn't expect that except for one Murong Mansion, the Dark Clothes Guard couldn't find any news, if it was said that only one Murong Mansion was against the prince, it was impossible, and it could only be said that the other group of people was too careful.

If they waited until the news from Renshou Palace could not be hidden, they might have completed the arrangement, and since they couldn't find them, they would simply release the news in advance and catch them off guard.

"Your Highness, the proposal of the Lord of the Lower Officials is feasible." Yuan Hao said affirmatively, and Zhang Qiu Taiyi and the others also nodded.

Yang Yong no longer hesitated: "Okay, immediately let the Dark-clothed Guard spread the news of the emperor's serious illness, however, let everyone be careful and don't let people know that this news is from the East Palace." ”

Yuan Hao replied loudly: "Your Highness, rest assured, the lower officials will not dispatch the insiders of the dark clothes guard to pass on the news and spread rumors, those people who are three sects and nine streams are the best, as long as they spend a little money, the lower officials guarantee that it will be known to the whole city in one day, and they will not contact the East Palace anyway." ”

The next day. An atmosphere of unease hung over the entire capital, and the news of the emperor's illness spread rapidly through the crowd. And the more it spread, the more evil it became, and in the end, there was even news that the emperor had died.

The news first circulated among civilians. These days, the chapters sent to Renshou Palace have not been approved, and those officials who have gone to Renshou Palace have not returned, in fact, many officials have been suspicious, which is confirmed by this rumor. Most officials were immediately convinced.

But. The emperor's illness is a big deal, not to mention that this news has to be spread among the people, and no one dares to talk nonsense. I can only find the left servant of the left-behind Shangshu to shoot Su Wei for verification.

Of course, Su Wei didn't know anything, and in a hurry, he hurriedly found Yang Yong: "Your Highness, it is rumored outside that the emperor is seriously ill and his life is in danger. What's going on? ”

"What. There is such a thing. Yang Yong categorically denied: "Impossible, this must be a rumor." Otherwise, how could Hongu not know? ”

Su Wei was also stunned, if the emperor was really sick, he didn't hide the prince's reason, unless someone wanted to plot a rebellion, thinking of this, Su Wei suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "Your Highness, no matter whether this matter is true or not, since there is a lot of rumors outside, Your Highness needs to ask Renshou Palace for confirmation immediately." ”

"What Lord Su said is that this is the case, then Lord Su might as well send someone to report to his father and ask his father to avoid rumors about this matter, but if someone really dares to hide his father's illness privately, I hope that Lord Su will help the palace and punish this treacherous evil."

"Okay, the next official obeys the order." Although Su Wei was slippery, he was an old minister in the end, and he knew that this matter was getting worse and worse, so he nodded in agreement.

The next day, the messenger sent by Su Wei arrived at Renshou Palace, Yuan Yan, Liu Shu and others were very puzzled when they received Su Wei's messenger, they didn't know how the news of Renshou Palace reached the capital so quickly, they didn't dare to make decisions about this matter, so they had to report it to Yang Jian.

After a few days of recuperation, Yang Jian's illness finally recovered a little, but he was still dizzy and lacking energy, and he could only rest with his eyes closed most of the time, and of course he had no energy to deal with government affairs. Whoever is found will be put to death. ”

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Yuan Yan, Liu Shu and the others were shocked, and hurriedly knelt down, and when Yang Jian calmed down his anger, Yuan Yan said tremblingly: "Yes, the minister obeys the order, but Your Majesty, now Lord Su has sent someone over to ask, how should Wei Chen answer?" ”

"I'm not sick, I'm not sick, cough...... cough ......" After Yang Jian finished speaking, he gasped fiercely, for an emperor, the most annoying and fearing thing is that he is sick.

"The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry." When Mrs. Xuanhua and Mrs. Ronghua saw the emperor coughing, they hurriedly comforted him and gave Yang Jian a slap on the back.

Yuan Yan and Liu Shu glanced at each other, helplessly, Su Wei's letter was very clear, the capital has spread the news of the emperor's illness, unless the emperor shows up to meet the minister, how can people believe it, if someone suspects that they have blocked the emperor's news without authorization, the consequences are simply unimaginable.

Liu Shu said cautiously: "My father has not received the ministers for several days, and there is no approval, and now there are more than a dozen ministers outside the Renshou Palace who want to see the emperor, since the news has reached the capital, if the father does not have a statement, I am afraid that the ministers will be difficult to believe, in order to prevent the ministers from being suspicious, only a few ministers will be announced to enter the palace to see, so as to dispel the doubts of the hundred officials." ”

As soon as Liu Shu finished speaking, Mrs. Xuanhua immediately objected: "No, the emperor's body is so weak, how can he meet the minister." ”

"I'm not sick, I'm not sick." Yang Jian's angry interface was as if he was a child.

"The concubine knows that the emperor is not sick, but it is a fact that he is not feeling well these days, so it is better to tell the messenger of Lord Su, and say that the emperor is only slightly ill, and he will recover in a few days, so that he can also relieve the doubts of hundreds of officials, I don't know what the emperor thinks?" Chen Xuanhua persuaded.

"Okay, that's it, you go down." Yang Jian waved his hand impatiently.

Yuan Yan and Liu Shu glanced at each other, and they could only do so, so they had to say: "Weichen retreats!" ”

The news of the emperor's slight dyeing was transmitted back to the capital, and the discussion in the capital suddenly calmed down a lot, however, there were still many ministers who were suspicious and obviously affectionate to the East Palace.

"Bastard, who leaked the news of the emperor's illness?" In a large mansion in the capital, a middle-aged man who was in a hurry to smash several pieces of precious porcelain and scolded him.

At this time, there are three people in this room, these three people are middle-aged people in their forties, two of them have deep eyes and noses, and the beard under the chin is slightly yellow, and they know that they have foreign blood at a glance, and the other person is personable, although they are over forty years old, they are still rare beautiful men, these three people are extraordinary in appearance no matter what they wear, as if they are people in high positions.

"Puyang Gong, now that the news has been leaked, there is no point in pursuing who leaked it, think about what we should do next." The middle-aged beautiful man who was sitting persuaded.

"Wen Xigong, it's Meng Lang, I forgot that it wasn't in this official mansion, but I smashed Wen Xigong's beloved things."

"A few pieces of porcelain, if you fall, you will fall, Puyang Gong doesn't have to care."

Puyang justice is the title of Yu Wenshu, but Wen Xigong is the title of Shangshu Zuo Cheng Pei Ju, and the other person is Yu Wenmi, the prince of Pingchang who is the same person as Yu Wenshu who is the general of the Twelve Guards. If an official saw the three of them talking so intimately together, they would definitely jump in shock.

It is not difficult to understand that Yuwenshu and Yuwenbi get together, after all, these two people have the same surname Yuwen, and they are usually good friends, but it is too hard to believe that Pei Ju also got together with them, after all, the Pei family has always had a close relationship with the East Palace, Pei Ju has been a Shangshu Zuocheng for seven or eight years, and he often deals with the East Palace, how can he have a secret meeting with Yuwenshu and Yuwenbi, and listen to the tone, or Pei Ju provides the place.

It's no wonder that the Darkcoat Guard can't find out what is abnormal about Yuwenshu and Yuwenbi, I'm afraid no one would have thought that Pei Ju has such a close relationship with these two people, Pei Ju's nephew Pei Tong has been promoted to a thousand households of the Darkcoat Guard, and the Darkcoat Guard has long regarded the Pei family as his own person, and the Darkcoat Guard's main eyes will naturally not be on the people of the Pei family.

"Alas, I wanted to take advantage of the emperor's illness to keep it secret to let the King of Jin secretly enter the capital, but now that the news of the emperor's illness has leaked, Bi will definitely arouse the vigilance of the East Palace, if the King of Jin can't enter Beijing, when the prince ascends the throne, I will not turn over." Yu Wenmi sighed.

"Not necessarily, you think that the East Palace doesn't know about the emperor's illness, and you suspect that the news was deliberately leaked out by the East Palace." Pei Ju said lightly.

Yuwenshu and Yuwenmi's eyes widened, and Yuwenshu said in surprise: "How is it possible?" ”

Indeed, if the East Palace knew the news, it should also be concealed, once the emperor died, the East Palace would be able to ascend the throne immediately, how could the news be released to make the capital chaotic.

"How is it impossible, not long after Xu Cheng disappeared, Ju found that many people were secretly searching, and because of this, Ju would rather startle the snake, and did not let Xu Cheng go back after asking about the emperor's condition, now that I think about it, these people are very likely to be people from the East Palace."

"Then it's a disaster, if King Jin comes back, won't it just fall into the hands of the prince?" Yuwenshu and Yuwenmi suddenly panicked.
