Chapter 379: Spying
Getting the answer he wanted, the smile on the emperor's face was more genuine.
"My body, I know it in my own heart, you have some preparations, and I will help you calculate some things before I leave, and after I am buried, you will go to pick the fruit, which is what I did for you in the end."
Speaking of this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became sad, and the prince's hand grinding ink paused slightly, and even trembled slightly.
The medicine, according to the Imperial Doctor, in a way, exacerbated the condition of smallpox. It's just that smallpox was cured by poison on poison, but in this way, the emperor's body was already at the end of the strong dome, and there were no days of vitality.
And the queen's body is also in an almost inseparable state, just because the queen is younger and her condition is not as serious as the emperor, so the consequences are not so serious, but now her body is not as good as before, and she is very weak.
, Sensing the prince's emotions, the emperor smiled indifferently.
"People always die, and when I die, I still have a son to grieve, and I finally teach you once."
The unspeakable emotions spread in his heart, and the emperor reached out to touch the prince, but finally let go.
"A ruler cannot be a woman."
He spoke slowly, and the last sentence was serious.
Compared with the rare warmth of the imperial study, the study of the king of loyalty outside the palace is unique.
The famous families gathered together, and the king of Zhongshun picked up the tea cup and slowly dialed it under the gaze of everyone, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smug smile.
"Dragoon Wei was placed in a safe place by this king, today the Royal Forest Army is on duty, the prince has not yet returned in Ping'anzhou, there is news from the head of the Fang Yuan, the emperor's illness is getting worse and worse, Lin Ruhai and others are already so anxious that they scratch their ears and cheeks, even my people have used it, that Jia Yu Village is now placed by Lin Ruhai in Jingzhaoyin, the time and place are favorable, people and discord, it depends on you."
After saying that, he took the tea cup to his mouth and took a sip lightly, squinting his eyes in enjoyment.
The people in the room looked at each other, and their faces were extremely serious, among which Situ Mingyuan secretly gritted his teeth and got up to bow to King Zhongshun.
"The prince has good means, but the child is still young, and he is the youngest son in the family, so it stands to reason that he does not belong to Long Qiwei, can he go back to accompany Weichen's old mother?"
As soon as these words came out, others also opened their mouths.
"Yes, Lord Wang, the second son of Weichen's family is stubborn, I'm afraid that he can't bear the responsibility, so I will go to Wang Ye Haihan and let him go back for the holidays."
......
All the gossip, every word you and I say, all want the king of Zhongshun to send his own family or relatives and descendants home.
Almost all of the dragon riders are the children of the Jingzhong family, and now the king of Zhongshun directly transferred the children of these families out to make other arrangements, and at the same time asked them to hand over their private soldiers for his disposal.
Although they intended to prop the Loyal King to the throne, it was their choice of the Loyal King, not the Loyal King.
Not to mention the use of such means.
After all, the emperor's body is all said by the king of Zhongshun, and it is half a month, but during this period, the number of people in the City God Temple has been increasing, and in the palace, although the emperor's body is a little problematic, there is no sign of death.
Therefore, these families are also waiting and watching, and they are unwilling to act rashly, let alone stand in line directly and clearly.
Families like them, basically every one of them has a century-old base, and if the emperor wants to move them, he won't be able to do it for a while, so although the emperor of their team has always been very jealous, he is not willing to rush it.
After all, if they slowly try to get along and don't conflict with the royal family, even if the emperor wants to clean them up, he won't be able to find a breakthrough for a while.
But if he exposes himself to the imperial power because of the position of the prince, he is killing himself.
The emperor is worried that he can't find their handle, and they are like this, which is tantamount to taking the initiative to send them to death, so although the return is high, the risk is too great, and they are not very enthusiastic.
But now the hand of the king of Zhongshun wants to force them to Liangshan.
Each family has children who are riding on the dragon, but now the dragon riding is unknown, and he doesn't know life and death.
If they shirk the words of King Zhongshun again today, regardless of whether King Zhongshun's action fails or not, the life and death of those children may be unpredictable.
After all, if they succeeded, they would offend the future king by doing so, and they might not be able to do it directly against them, but it would be easy to want the lives of those children.
But if it fails, it is not allowed that the king of Zhongshun will be angry with those children, and in the end he will end up in a dead end.
But if they compromised, and the operation of the loyal king failed, then the next thing they had to face was the crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan.
A hundred-year-old family, hundreds of people up and down, they have too many factors to consider.
So even if it's their own son, sometimes they have to give up.
Therefore, they still tried their best to hope that they could take their children home first, and then negotiate terms with King Zhongshun.
Drinking the tea in his hand slowly, King Zhongshun was not affected by the gossip of the officials around him.
"Your Excellency seems to be a little dissatisfied with this king?"
As the words fell, the teacup in King Zhongshun's hand was heavily placed on the table next to him, and King Zhongshun glanced at everyone.
It was these people who told him to be self-motivated and have a long-term vision.
It was these people who gave him boundless ambition and painted a grand future for him.
But these are also these people, who are always cautious, and look like they are going to abandon him at any time.
Even if they don't say it, their bodies are very honest.
Because if these people were wholeheartedly attached to him, as early as when the city was closed, he would have provoked a palace change and sat in that position!
Everyone didn't seem to expect King Zhongshun to suddenly become so strong, and they were all shocked when they heard this, and then they saw King Zhongshun slowly get up.
"You have also seen my father's attitude towards me these days, this king was cultivated by you, and the reputation of this king was built up by you little by little, the ambition of this king!
You also taught this king!
This king has been thinking about this position for decades, and now you want to retreat?! ”
From the moment the emperor was above the court and reprimanded him in full view of the eyes of the people who were the son of the cheap slave of Xinzhiku, his road to the throne came to an abrupt end.
And now the reason why these people are still able to gather together in his Zhongshun palace is only because of these little tricks he played!
Back then, these people had given up on him, did they really think he didn't know?
King Zhongshun had a bit of a hideous look on his face.
"Situ Mingyuan, Kong Ge Lao, as well as General Wei and Cui Xiangguo, you have been in contact with several brothers of this king in private, can you really think that I am blind?"
When they heard this, they did not react, because what the king of Zhongshun said was indeed the truth. But now on this occasion, this statement is a little annoying to them.
"Think twice, now that the Mid-Autumn Festival, the saint's body is not obviously unwell, if the palace is forced at this time, even if the prince can ascend to the throne in the future, he will be condemned by the world."
The eyes flickered, and everyone gave up their hands to persuade them.
King Zhongshun stood still, looking at everyone with a smile and a firm look in his eyes.
"You know in your heart whether there is a position in the normal way or not, now that the prince has not returned, most of the ministers in the court have been replaced by my people, even if my father has recently started to clear it because of the deterioration of his condition, but the time is too short, and I have to thank everyone present for their secret help, so it can't be cleared much for a while, plus Lin Ruhai has our people there, don't do it at this time, let alone when!"
The eyes were ruthless, and everyone was shocked by the domineering spirit in the words of the loyal king, and they looked at each other, each with different thoughts.
Time passed little by little, Rongguo Mansion and the Jia family also received an invitation to the palace banquet, but Jia Lian had a ghost in his heart, and looked at Qin Keqing again, his face full of seriousness.
"Be smart, you're a wife, so you have to go in with you, it's not peaceful in the palace today, I've memorized the roadmap I gave you just now, as long as you see that the situation is wrong, you run, don't care about me, can you understand?"
Although the decree of the next Yi is to ask the whole family of the Jia family to enter the palace for a banquet together, how to say that Jia Lian is now a weighty person whether he is in front of the prince or in front of the emperor, so he only said that the children in the family cannot see the wind when they are young, so the concubine should watch the children at home, and only bring one Qin Keqing to the palace for the banquet.
And secretly, Jia Lian had already been angry with Jia Lian, and they went back to the city with Jia Lian on the surface, but secretly, they went to the side of Juren Alley.
Today's Juren Alley looks like the ceiling is raging, but it is dark under the lights, and it is protected by Yin Shanzhi, so Jia Lian is very relieved.
As for the problem of infection, Liu's Mansion is in the most secluded place in Juren Lane, and there is no one around it, so there is no way to get sick.
And now most of the smallpox patients have been sent to the City God Temple, so it is very safe.
So the one who left Jia Lian with the most peace of mind was Qin Keqing.
At the banquet in the palace, men and women are seated separately, which means that Jia Lian and Qin Keqing will not be together at all, so they can't scruple about it.
But fortunately, because of the different identities this time, Qin Keqing can bring a personal maid into the palace.
On the other hand, Lin Daiyu has the name of a princess, so she can't leave.
The grandmother next to Lin Daiyu was arranged by Lin Ruhai, and they were all martial arts, plus one by Qin Keqing's side, although Jia Lian was still a little worried in his heart, it was better.
So according to the recollections, he personally drew the route that followed the prince directly into the palace from the outskirts of the city, and Jia Lian asked Qin Keqing to hide closely, and if there was any situation, he would run away without returning to Lin Daiyu's head.
As for Jia Lian himself, he spared his life very much, as long as there were signs of defeat on the prince's side, he would definitely run faster than anyone else!
Jia Lian had said this to Qin Keqing eight hundred times, nodded heavily, and Qin Keqing said that he was helpless.
"I know, Uncle Lin has already entered the palace first, let's go pick up Sister Lin, I will protect myself."
Hurriedly diverted the topic, Qin Keqing motioned for Ruyue to follow, and hurriedly pulled Jia Lian into the carriage.
At the beginning of the unitary time, the lights in the palace are brilliant, and the outside of the palace is also very lively.
Jia Lian rode a horse, Qin Keqing and Lin Daiyu sat in the car, and they were a little nervous.
Just as Jia Lian explained to Qin Keqing because he was worried, when Lin Ruhai left, he also told Lin Daiyu a thousand times.
Lin Daiyu is a princess, although she has only one name, but her identity is there, so it is not easy to shirk this kind of occasion, let alone such an occasion.
What they want is to catch each other off guard, so it is easy not to let them find the slightest flaw.
It's just different from what Jia Lian thought, Lin Ruhai has unexpected confidence in this operation, so what he explained to Lin Daiyu was to follow the queen closely and not leave a single step.
At the beginning of the prelude, Qin Keqing and Lin Daiyu parted ways with Jia Lian from the palace gate, Qin Keqing and Lin Daiyu went to the harem, and Jia Lian went to the imperial study.
Before the general was separated, Jia Lian here was already supported by an endless stream of courtiers, and you pulled me in, it was all spying.
"You say it's ridiculous, Your Majesty's face was a little pale yesterday, but Lord Wang was worried about the smallpox epidemic this time, if the official hadn't stopped it in time, maybe that guy would have lost his head."
The words were not explained, but everyone knew what they meant, Jia Lian glanced at the speaker without a trace, and then continued to follow the large army forward, but he did not speak.
It's a sensitive time now, and it's a time to talk about this kind of topic, and the protagonist is still the current emperor, unless you really don't want to live, who really dares to say such a thing, otherwise if you end up with a cursed king, it's not a joke.
He only revealed to Fang Yuan that day that the rumors had already come out today, and everyone knew what it meant.
The one who spoke was the imperial history of the dynasty, and he had always grabbed other people's pigtails, but this time he was so kind, Jia Lian thought about it, and silently wrote down his name in his heart.
didn't get Jia Lian's response, the man didn't seem to be satisfied, and everyone was gossiping, and they didn't know who spoke directly to Jia Lian.
"Lord Jia is a celebrity around His Majesty, I wait for such a guess, it is better to ask Lord Jia directly, these days Lord Jia has been going down to the court every day, but he has to stay in His Majesty's imperial study for a while."
