The night was getting deeper, but the palatial Han Palace was still brightly lit, and the sound of Zhang Rang's pacing quietly walking forward echoed repeatedly in the empty hall, and he walked towards the Palace of Nourishing Heart step by step. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Si belongs to the north, after entering the winter, the night is cold and windy, Zhang Rang felt the coolness of his body, held his hand in front of him and retracted into his wide sleeves, resisting the wind and cold, people are old, it is easier to recall some past events in the cold wind, but after all, it is not a young man who will suddenly be sad when he recalls any past events, Zhang Rang shook his head gently, no longer thinking about the memories that appear in his mind from time to time, and continued to move forward.

Passing through the long corridor carved with the auspicious clouds of the crane, and entering the threshold painted with vermilion, the deeper the Weiyang Palace went, the more dim the lights became, and finally Zhang Rang entered the Heart Cultivation Hall almost in the dark.

Although the weather outside is very cold, the good agarwood is burned in the incense burner in the hall in this heart-nourishing hall, which bakes the air in the hall extremely comfortably, and the fragrance is intoxicating.

There is a large piece of bed board made of warm jade in the hall, which is cushioned with the white kapok of Jiaozhou Panyu tribute, and is covered with the Ming and Huang Shu brocade of Yizhou Lintong, which is embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon that is as powerful as the sea.

Emperor Ling was lying on this Lantian warm jade bed with his eyes closed at this time, breathing steadily and slowly, with a cold towel on his forehead, it seemed that his condition was relatively relaxed, and he was resting, and the palace maid on one side stepped forward from time to time to change the cold towel and waited carefully.

Several palace maids saw Zhang Rang come to the bedside, and after a thousand blessings, they went out of the Heart Cultivation Hall together, so that it was convenient for Emperor Ling to chat with Zhang Rang.

"Your Majesty, are you all right?" Zhang Rang stretched out his hand to support the Spirit Emperor's hand and asked with concern.

Emperor Ling was in a trance when he suddenly heard Zhang Rang's greeting, woke up in the world of fugue, and saw Zhang Rang's face close to the bedside.

"Oh, Father!"

Zhang Rang was shocked when he heard this, originally the voice of the Spirit Emperor was clear and clear, but because he was seriously ill and weak, he said the sentence just now with a weak breath, and his voice was hoarse and rough, so that people could not see the Spirit Emperor who looked like the young man at that time.

"Hehe, it won't take a few days for Liu Hong to die." The Spirit Emperor grinned with difficulty.

"Your Majesty......" Zhang Rang sighed.

"Cough cough cough cough ......" Emperor Ling struggled to sit up, but he pulled his chest and coughed painfully, Zhang Rang hurriedly went to help, patted his back and rubbed his chest, and hurriedly took care of it.

After a long time, the Spirit Emperor eased up, fell to the wall with relief, and sat up.

"Alright, it's out of the way." Emperor Ling waved his hand at Zhang Rang, and said with a sigh, "I am too indulgent on weekdays, and I have hollowed out my body, so I should be rewarded!" Ay...... If you don't talk about it, what is the matter with the Father here? ”

Zhang Rang bowed down and said: "Youzhou Mu Liu Yan wrote a letter, saying that there is a new traitor in Yizhou, and he is willing to lead Yizhou Mu to suppress it."

"Hehe," the current Emperor Ling laughed and revealed a paleness that could not be concealed, "My life is not long, this Liu Yan is good, he ran to Yizhou to be free, haha, quasi-play!" Life is too short, so let's have fun in time for those who can continue to live! ”

Zhang Rang smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, if Your Majesty goes west, I won't be far away, and we can continue to be master and servant when we meet under the spring."

"Huh?" Emperor Ling thought for a moment, "Are you afraid of He Jin?" ”

Zhang Rang nodded: "Your Majesty should know about the enmity between us and He Jin, if Your Majesty goes west, no one can control He Jin, and it will only be a matter of time before we die."

The Spirit Emperor was silent, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh.

"I'll talk to He Jin tomorrow, and I'll get a way out for you."

Zhang Rang was stunned, and immediately knelt down to the Spirit Emperor and said, "Old slave, thank you, Your Majesty!"

When Emperor Ling saw it, he couldn't bear it, so he ordered Zhang Rang to leave first.

At the same time, Jian Shuo, the commander of the Xiyuan Army, finished dealing with the affairs of the day in the army and hurried back to the palace.

Jian Shuo was about to find someone to inquire about important matters, and when he saw Guo Sheng drinking in the palace for fun, he was in a hurry, rushed forward and stopped Guo Sheng, and said angrily: "What are you doing here?" It's all about to happen, and you're still drinking and having fun here? ”

"Catastrophe is coming?" Guo Shengwei opened his drunken eyes, "What disaster?" ”

Jian Shuo hurriedly said: "Fool, Emperor Ling is seriously ill now, the deadline is approaching, and our lives are in danger!"

When Guo Sheng heard this, it turned out to be this, and immediately smiled wildly.

"What should I do, oh yes, you're still too young, although you are strong and skillful, but your brain is really not enough!"

"What did you say!" Jian Shuo roared, grabbed Guo Sheng's collar and lifted him up, in recent days, Jian Shuo led the forbidden army in Luoyang Xicheng, it can be said that he ordered the world's soldiers and horses according to the edict of the Son of Heaven, and even the general He Jin was under his jurisdiction, and his power was monstrous, so he also raised a temper and arrogance, and everyone he saw on weekdays was arrogant, how could he recognize Guo Sheng so ridiculed.

Guo Sheng saw that he was lifted up by Jian Shuo, but he still drank too much wine and fell unconscious, he didn't care, and continued in a daze: "Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang have already had a plan, no matter which prince succeeds to the throne, we will have a way out!"

"Really?" Jian Shuo put Guo Sheng down.

"Is that fake?" Guo Sheng immediately told Jian Shuo all the analysis done by Zhao Zhong today, "How is it?" Happy, right? Come, have a drink with me. ”

Jian Shuo heard this, and slapped his thigh: "If Liu Bian succeeds to the throne, can He Hou control He Jin is another matter, and even if He Jin is controlled and does not kill me, can we still be as beautiful as we are now?"

Guo Sheng was shocked when he heard it: "Ah! What can I do? ”

Jian Shuo said: "! Now only by electing the prince to succeed to the throne can we continue to ensure that we will be rich and prosperous for a lifetime. ”

Guo Sheng agreed: "Well, that's good! Then let's go and persuade Emperor Ling to make Liu Xie the prince? ”

Jian Shuo patted Guo Sheng's head: "Stupid! Emperor Ling will die soon, and whoever is appointed emperor is just an edict! You and I can do it ourselves. ”

Guo Sheng's eyes lit up: "At this time, Zhang Rang is reporting to Emperor Ling, and no one is taking care of the jade seal."

"Great goodness! Quick, come with me to the Chongde Temple! ”

As soon as the words fell, Jian Shuo grabbed Guo Sheng and ran, and the thin Guo Sheng was dragged by Jian Shuo and flew almost all the way to Chongde Palace.

When the two arrived in the main hall, they drove away the palace maids and eunuchs on duty, quietly found the silk cloth used to write the edict, and wrote the edict on which Liu Xie was the emperor, and then found a box carved with nine golden dragons.

Open the box, from which a seal was revealed, only to see that the seal is four inches in circumference, on the new hand over five dragons, the front is engraved with "ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang" eight seal characters, it is the jade seal of the country!

Jian Shuo and Guo Sheng were overjoyed when they saw this jade seal, grabbed this jade seal together, moved it to the edict just written, pressed it down, and stamped it with a red clay pattern.

Jian Shuo and Guo Sheng looked at each other and smiled, Guo Sheng said: "Hehe, it's done!"

Jian Shuo said, "No! If you want to establish an association, you must first punish He Jin, so as to prevent future troubles! ”

"Huh? Kill how to enter? How difficult is it, how to kill? ”

Jian Shuo chuckled: "You don't have to care, I am enough for this matter." After speaking, he received the edict and left.

Guo Sheng was displeased.

The two returned to the palace where the ten permanent servants lived, and saw everyone laughing and feasting, and after asking, it turned out that Zhang Rang told everyone the news that Emperor Ling was willing to protect everyone, although Zhang Rang was still in a state of unhappiness, but everyone was still very happy.

As soon as Guo Sheng saw this scene, he immediately happily joined in the feast, and Jian Shuo sensitively heard the news that He Jin would enter the palace tomorrow, and smiled secretly.

The next day, He Jin received a summons from Emperor Ling, and he was able to pack up and enter the palace, but he was stopped by Sima Panyin as soon as he arrived at the palace gate.

"The general left quickly, Jian Shuo wants to kill you, at this time, the palace is already full of his soldiers from the Xiyuan Army, just waiting for you to enter the palace!"

When He Jin heard this, he was shocked and immediately returned to the general's mansion.
