Chapter 286: The Emperor is dead
Gu Chengxiang's face changed slightly, and he already had a little more shocked and angry aura.
The emperor was seriously ill, and the Praetorian Guards surrounded the Qiankun Hall tightly, why did Empress Zhen come in?
Not to mention, Empress Zhen asked him to write another edict!
Emperor Qiwu lifted his eyelids, his eyes were cloudy, and he looked at the figure of Empress Zhen: "You...... Daring! ”
"Your Majesty, Xian'er is your own child, do you want to hand over the Great Apocalypse to others, but you don't want to give it to Xian'er?" Empress Zhen raised her head slightly, looking condescendingly at Emperor Qiwu who was dying.
She was annoyed in her heart, and at the same time flashed a touch of joy, she had been married to Emperor Qiwu for more than 20 years, she had been wronged, and now she was finally going to boil people to death!
Emperor Qiwu didn't have much strength to refute, and a pair of dead fish eyes stared at Empress Zhen tightly.
Prime Minister Gu Cheng said: "Queen Mother, who the emperor wants to appoint as the crown prince, it's not for you to ask!" ”
"Can you ask, Xiangye still don't say it too early!" Empress Zhen snorted, "Xiangye is loyal to the emperor and acts according to the emperor's instructions, but does Xiangye know that when Xian'er made a mistake, it was the emperor and Licai who jointly planned and calculated him!" This palace wants the emperor to give the emperor a grace today, and give Xian'er a little compensation, isn't it too much? ”
Prime Minister Gu didn't know about this stubble, and turned to look at Emperor Qiwu.
Emperor Qiwu gasped: "You...... Your Zhen family wants to push him to be too ...... Prince, don't think! ”
Now, it's also a dream!
Empress Zhen broke in so rudely, and Emperor Qiwu was going to die again, how could she fulfill her wish.
When Gu Chengxiang saw this, his heart sank, and he already understood that there was such a thing.
Emperor Qiwu looked at the carved wooden door and shouted hard, but unfortunately the voice that came out was very weak: "Zhao Chang...... Zhao Changde! Come! ”
As soon as he gave the order, he could let Queen Zhen be martyred, and see what she was still arrogant here!
The Praetorian Guards outside seemed to be deaf, and Zhao Changde did not respond.
What's going on?
Together with An Sheng, they all stood quietly aside, not speaking for Emperor Qiwu, but reminded: "Your Majesty, the old slave is afraid that the Praetorian Guards will disturb your rest, so he has asked the Praetorian Guards to retreat outside the palace and wait." ”
Emperor Qiwu's eyes widened suddenly, An Sheng actually helped Empress Zhen?!
At this time, Prime Minister Gu couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Queen Mother, are you trying to rebel?!" ”
Empress Zhen smiled at the corner of her mouth and corrected: "Xiangye, if the edict is written to restore my son's identity and make him the prince, will it be a rebellion?" ”
"You!" Prime Minister Gu glared at her, thinking that Queen Zhen was really bold! But he has been an official for decades, where would it be so easy to be led by the nose, he straightened his waist, his face was fearless, "The Praetorian Guard has listened to the orders of the queen's mother, and the ministers will not act for the tiger and do disloyal and unrighteous things!" Fake edict, the minister can't write it, the queen mother even if she kills the minister! ”
He has the meaning of a dead fish and a broken net.
As long as he doesn't personally write the edict that makes Chu Chengxian the crown prince, the world will know that Chu Chengxian is not right, and the prince can crusade.
And he is a first-class official, and if he dies in the palace, he will confirm the rebellion of the Zhen family.
If Emperor Qiwu still had the strength, he would definitely get up and shout a few words.
Queen Zhen was stunned, how could she have thought that Prime Minister Gu Cheng would be so stubborn, and at such a point, she would not stand on the same line with the Zhen family.
Now, whether this person is killed or not, and whether he is not killed, is not killed.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Xiangye, if my son ascends to the throne in a righteous name, you will still be a first-class prime minister, your Gu family will still be prosperous and rich, and your daughter will ...... It can also be after! ”
What a good condition this is, few people will refuse, right?
Prime Minister Gu Cheng's face froze, but he was unmoved, "Queen Mother, the daughter of a minister will not marry a rebellious minister and a thief." ”
"I don't know what to do!" Queen Zhen's eyes were already full of anger, and she couldn't wait to correct Prime Minister Gu Cheng on the spot immediately!
"Mother, dissipate your anger." An Sheng spoke, his feminine face raised a faint smile, he walked up to Prime Minister Gu, spread out his palm, and there was a semi-circular jade pendant lying on it, "Prime Minister, do you recognize this thing?" ”
Gu Chengxiang glanced at it, and the blood in his body seemed to be stagnant and would not flow.
This is Gu Zirou's jade pendant, and the other half, his wife gave it to Su Yinyue.
How dare they!
"What's wrong with you guys?!" Prime Minister Gu was furious, and his body couldn't help trembling.
An Sheng still smiled: "Prime Minister, don't be angry, I heard that there was a thief in the Prime Minister's Mansion to steal, and the Grand Commander took people to the Prime Minister's Mansion to guard and protect the safety of Mrs. and Miss Childe." ”
Prime Minister Gu wanted to scold his mother, which was obviously to take his family and force himself to comply!
Even if there are many soldiers in the Prime Minister's Mansion, how can they compete with the Praetorian Guard?
Whether the Gu family is alive or dead, now it all depends on his thoughts.
Of course, Prime Minister Gu didn't expect that he would be subjected to such a calculation, and after he was furious, he looked a little depressed. He doesn't want to be submissive, and he wants his family to be safe, but who can help him?
Previously, Chu Jifeng proposed to let him expose what Emperor Qiwu had done in the court, but he didn't agree, he was already going against Chu Jifeng, and now how could he expect Chu Jifeng to help him.
"Your Excellency." An Sheng said again, "Why don't you bring you another blank holy decree?" ”
Gu Chengxiang was a little in a trance and didn't make a sound.
Ansheng brought the new decree and studied the ink on the side.
Emperor Qiwu stared at Prime Minister Gu and raised his hand with all his strength: "Prime Minister, no...... Cannot. ”
"Then does the emperor have a way to save Weichen's family?" Prime Minister Gu asked.
"To die for the kingdom is ...... It's their pleasure. Emperor Qiwu said such a sentence after half a sound.
Prime Minister Gu was still a little hesitant, but when he heard Emperor Qiwu's words, a warm heart instantly became as cold as a stone.
He has been loyal to Emperor Qiwu for many years, in exchange for this sentence?
He picked up the pen and said slowly: "Weichen's daughter is just nine years old. ”
As a father, how can he watch his daughter die?
Even if this move goes against his heart as an official, he is willing to bear the infamy in the future.
closed his eyes, as if resigned to his fate, and when he opened it again, Prime Minister Gu Cheng had already waved his pen and wrote a new "edict".
Emperor Qiwu was so angry that he couldn't do it, but at this moment, he didn't have the strength to say half a sentence at the moment.
Empress Zhen watched, and when Prime Minister Gu finished writing the last word, she shouted for An Sheng to cover the jade seal.
She looked at the edict carefully again, and only after making sure that it was correct did she look up to the sky and laugh.
After that, she turned her head and stared at Emperor Qiwu: "Your Majesty, the concubines have been looking forward to this day for a long time. Xian'er is a filial son, and she will take care of your funeral well. ”
Emperor Qiwu couldn't breathe, stared at Empress Zhen deadly, and finally, when a few crows sounded outside the hall, the person died.
The emperor, after a few days, finally died.
