Chapter 371: Who's Rebelling
The atmosphere in the study was a little depressing, it was a kind of oppression that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of air, which made everyone's breathing a little short, and they all moved their eyes to Ji Qingchen, and now Ji Qingchen has become their backbone.
However, Ji Qingchen moved his gaze to Li Muzhi, "General Li, can the new army outside the city be mobilized?" ”
The current situation is that King's Landing City lacks available soldiers, and if the other party's 30,000 city guards control King's Landing City, and then let 100,000 government troops enter the city, the consequences will be very bad. Only their own side must have enough troops to suppress this conspiracy and rebellion.
"Your Highness, rest assured, as long as the old man gives an order, the 600,000 troops outside the city can enter the city at any time to quell the rebellion, but now that the situation is stable, it is still not easy to raise troops!" Li Muzhi said worriedly.
"General Li, now is not the time for us to be indecisive, thinking that Ji Ping can control the city guards in such a short period of time, and there are 100,000 government troops working for him, can't you see his wolf ambition?" Pei Wenju said quite unhappily, "Now, he is attacking the Yizheng Palace, do you think we should be merciful to such a person?" General Lee's dignified Privy Councillor, when did he become so womanly? ”
"Yes, you can't be merciful at this time, otherwise there will be a big mess!" Bai Jin also said in a cold tone.
Ye Qingzhi and Liu Pingyuan on the side, as well as the various Shangshu, also nodded.
Seeing that everyone supported Ji Qingchen's opinion, Li Muzhi also nodded slightly and said, "Okay, leave this matter to the old man!" ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Li Muzhi say this, but Ji Qingchen was a little puzzled in his heart, Li Muzhi was resolute when he dealt with anything on weekdays, why was he so abnormal in this matter today? Don't...... Ji Qingchen strongly suppressed the speculation in his heart, making himself believe that there was nothing wrong with Li Muzhi, but there was still a trace of vigilance in his heart.
"Other than that, what else does Your Highness have to do?" Pei Wenju asked, as the prime minister, he is indeed the person who cares about this matter the most among everyone, because in addition to his relationship with the prime minister of Dayan, he is also Ji Wen's confidant, and now that Ji Ping wants to overthrow Ji Wen's rule, how can he not pay attention to it?
"As soon as the battle outside is over, we will all act separately, all of you will go back to your respective mansions, and the political hall will discuss with the imperial brother how to deal with Ji Ping, the Privy Council will order the transfer of troops into the city, and the criminal department and Dali Temple can arrest Ji Ping immediately after receiving the order, as for the defense of the king's landing, this time I will ask the Marquis of Jin to come forward." Ji Qingchen moved his gaze to Bai Jin and said.
"Yes!" Bai Jin nodded slightly.
Everyone agreed with Ji Qingchen's construction, and each said their own opinions, and after synthesis, they came up with a lot of good strategies for dealing with Ji Ping safely.
At this time, Zhang Rang hurriedly walked into the study and told Ji Qingchen that the assassin who broke into the mansion had been cleared up.
Ji Qingchen, who got Zhang Rang's answer, was very satisfied with the clean and neat handling of this matter by the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and he was about to say to everyone that everyone should go out of the house immediately.
Suddenly, at this moment, a large internal guard staggered to the outside of Ji Qingchen's study, and said in a weak tone, "Your Highness, it's not good, Your Majesty was assassinated by an assassin and was hit by an arrow in the chest-"
"What-" Ji Qingchen was shocked, and Pei Wenju, Ye Qingzhi and the others beside him also got up in surprise and asked, they couldn't believe the guard's words at all.
"His Majesty has been assassinated, and he has been sent back to the palace, and I also ask His Royal Highness and Prime Minister to go to the Taiji Hall immediately." The guard said with the last of his strength, and with that, he collapsed on the threshold and died.
"You say it again?" Pei Wenju stepped forward with an arrow, grabbed the guard's shirt and shouted loudly, but at this time, the guard was already dead and could no longer speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now His Majesty needs us, we need to enter the palace immediately!" Bai Jin was still calmer and hurriedly spoke.
"However, the news needs to be blocked, and the news of the emperor's assassination cannot be leaked until the emperor's injury is confirmed." Ji Qingchen said in a stern tone.
Everyone nodded solemnly in agreement.
"Zhang Rang, you heard what we said, do you know what to do?" Ji Qingchen said to Zhang Rang.
"Your Highness, rest assured, the slave knows what to do." After saying that, he left the study quickly. And Ji Qingchen and the others also quickly left the palace and went straight to the palace.
When they arrived at Ji Wen's dormitory in the Taiji Palace, they found that a large group of imperial doctors were there, but everyone was at a loss for what to do, and it seemed that the injury was very serious.
"How's it going?" Ji Qingchen stepped forward and asked, seeing the expression of the imperial doctor, he guessed that Ji Wen's situation was not good.
"Back to His Highness, His Majesty's words are very heavy, and the arrow is highly poisonous, and the poison has already attacked the heart, already-" The imperial doctor said this, and he was silent, but everyone naturally knew what he was saying later.
All of a sudden, the dormitory became silent, and no one dared to speak out at this time. Because they saw that Ji Qingchen's face suddenly became gloomy, and an invisible murderous aura permeated the palace.
"Ninth brother, are you here? Come on, come in with all of you! I only have half an hour to be a brother, and I still have a lot of things to explain! Suddenly, at this moment, Ji Wen's weak voice came from the inner hall.
Hearing Ji Wen's voice, Ji Qingchen's body trembled, and he hurriedly strode into the inner hall, Pei Wenju, Bai Jin, Li Muzhi and others followed closely behind him.
"Brother Emperor, you—how could you have been assassinated? Your injury-" When he saw Ji Wen lying on the couch, the white sand on his chest was already soaked in blood, Ji Qingchen's heart was sour, and he said in a choked tone. It can be said that since he returned to Dayan, Ji Wen has treated him the best among all the brothers. And this is also the reason why he is willing to let Ji Wen ascend to the throne of Emperor Dayan.
But before Ji Qingchen's words were finished, Ji Wen, who was lying on the couch, stopped, "Let's get down to business, time is running out for brothers." ”
Speaking of this, he moved his gaze to Ye Qingzhi and Pei Wenju, "The two prime ministers drafted the edict—"
"Your Majesty—" Pei Wenju and Ye Qingzhi knelt tremblingly in front of Ji Wen, and said in a choked tone, "No! He began to wait for the pen to be written on the blank decree that the attendant had taken out.
At this time, Ji Wen took a deep breath and said in a stern tone, "I have ascended the throne and become emperor, and now I am ...... Special pass on the throne to Ji Qingchen, the king of the council, and let him inherit the throne and take charge of Dayan-"
Rustle-Sha-In addition to Ji Wen's voice in the main hall, it was the sound of a pen on a brocade scroll on paper.
After Ji Wen finished saying the content of the edict, Ye Qingzhi handed the edict to Pei Wenju, Pei Wenju, Bai Jin and others reviewed it, and found that there was no problem, so they asked the edict to be held up in front of Ji Wen, and Ji Wen, who was almost unable to support it, glanced at the content of the edict, nodded slightly, and signaled that Pei Wenju could stamp the seal.
Pei Wenju was stamped with a seal.
"Marquis of Jin, the edict will be handed over to you for safekeeping!" Ji Qingchen said to Bai Jin.
Bai Jin knelt in front of Ji Wen and received the edict.
"Ninth brother, Pei Qing has been in charge of the government hall for more than 20 years, he has been diligent, he is a talented and learned person, you have to make good use of him." Ji Qingchen said to Ji Qingchen that he was arranging Pei Wenju's future path, because since he was born sensible, Pei Wenju has been supporting him to enter the East Palace, and this support is more than 20 years.
It can be seen from this that Ji Wen is still a very good monarch.
"Please rest assured, Brother Huang, Qingchen knows what to do!" Ji Qingchen assured.
"Pei Qing, after I leave, you have to assist the ninth brother wholeheartedly, because only when the ninth brother ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, I can leave with confidence, because you assist the ninth brother in governing Dayan, I can also rest assured that when I go to see the ancestors and ancestors, I can rest assured that Dayan will not be destroyed." Ji Wen's aura is getting weaker and weaker.
"Please rest assured, Weichen remembers!" Pei Wenju couldn't cry anymore.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I must ask you to assist the ninth brother to let Dayan get through the current crisis." Ji Qingchen said to the ministers again.
"陛xià-"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, we will definitely assist His Highness to let Dayan get through the difficulties!" The ministers assured in a choked tone.
No matter how short Ji Wen's ascension to the throne was, Ji Wen's benevolence still left a deep impact on them, and they also attached great importance to Ji Wen, the Great Yan Renjun, who would definitely lead the army to let Dayan out of the current crisis, but who would have thought that such an ending would occur?
"You go down and let me have a few more words with the ninth brother!" Ji Wen said with difficulty.
"No!" Everyone staggered out of the main hall.
At this time, Ji Wen sighed lightly and said, "They are gone, our brothers can talk about their hearts." ”
"Brother Huang—"
But Ji Wen didn't give Ji Qingchen a chance to speak, and said, "Ninth brother, in fact, my brother has always felt very ashamed of you, originally my father's edict wanted to make you the crown prince and pass on the throne to you." But you let your brother ascend to the throne, and you are willing to assist your brother. Maybe you don't know that when you read out your father's edict in the Taiji Palace, your brother already knew what the edict was, and he already knew that you had told everyone a lie. But at that time, my brother didn't have the courage to say it, and I didn't have the courage to refuse your proposal, because my brother also had selfish intentions, and my brother had fought hard for the throne for more than ten years! ”
"But when Brother Wei sat on this chair and looked at the world, I realized how heavy the burden on my shoulders was, and I realized that if you hadn't been sharing the pressure for Brother Wei, I am afraid that Brother Wei's position as the monarch would not be as stable as it is now!" Ji Wen coughed violently a few times when he said this, and then began to say, "Now that my brother can finally let go of this burden, I can return to you what originally belonged to you." Ninth brother, as a member of the royal family, we have been accompanied by various struggles since the day we were born, we have no feelings in our lives, and there is no family affection, let alone brotherhood, this is our tragedy, and we have no complaints. However, in this life, it is very contenting to have a brother like you. Thank you, my forever brother-"
Speaking of which, Ji Wen is silent!
Half-ringing, when Ji Qingchen came back to his senses, he found that Ji Wen had lost his breath!
