Chapter 203

Yao Guifei was soon given poisoned wine by the emperor, and lost her life in less than night, and when the three princes arrived, they only saw Yao Guifei's body.

The emperor had a headache and fell into a coma, and he lay in bed for a day and a night before waking up, but after waking up, he was a little delirious and had difficulty speaking, so everything could only be handed over to Qi Yanzhi.

"Yan Zhi." The emperor called Qi Yanzhi to his side.

"Your Majesty, you say." Qi Yanzhi pushed the wheelchair to the emperor's sickbed.

"You can draft an edict for me." The emperor was very weak, but he still struggled to sit up.

"Yes." Qi Yanzhi went to get a pen and paper.

After the death of Yao Guifei, the Three Princes Party couldn't hold it back, and the emperor was not in good health, and he was about to rebel, so he had to set up a prince to stabilize the people's hearts.

However, the emperor thought more simply, even if the crown prince is established now, the Three Princes Party will not give up, and an infighting is inevitable. But Qi Yanzhi will not tell the emperor about these things, because the current emperor is just a dying man who is barely breathing, and he has no brains and no courage, and he can't be expected to suppress the prince at all. What's more, the emperor's common disease, until the last moment of his death, will never dare to call a family dominant, which is the so-called way of balance.

He set up the Nine Emperors as the crown prince, but he still refused to kill the three princes, this is stupidity, so Qi Yanzhi didn't expect him to do anything.

In the end, the emperor set up the Nine Emperors as the crown prince, Yu Ning did not refuse when he came to thank him in person, he was ready to deal with everything, as Qi Yanzhi said, the world needs Mingjun, if there are brothers who can support the overall situation, he will definitely give way, but if not, he has to reluctantly embarrass himself.

However, the Nine Emperors were made the crown princes, and more than half of the people in the court were not convinced, and the Three Princes led by Shang Shangshu all said that Qi Yanzhi and the Nine Emperors controlled the emperor, and they asked to meet the emperor and let the emperor speak in person.

Shang Shangshu wolf ambition, if they are asked to see the emperor, I am afraid that they will immediately force the palace, and Qi Yanzhi will not let them succeed.

"The emperor is seriously ill, no one is allowed to see him, anyone who has any questions can come to me, and I will pass it on my behalf." Qi Yanzhi is tough, and he doesn't give anyone face. He is not afraid of any force at all, he just wants to force them to rebel, so that he can justifiably eliminate the rebels.

"Qingyang Hou, it's not appropriate for you to be like this, since the emperor can speak, why can't he see us, if you insist on doing so, we will doubt the authenticity of the holy decree of succession!" Shang Shangshu said sharply.

"Shang Shangshu is afraid that I have not forgotten that I do not have the right to command the emperor's Praetorian Guard." Qi Yanzhi said unhurriedly, "They only obey the emperor's orders, it was the emperor who personally told them to obey the prince's orders, and the prince ordered them to guard the emperor and not let the trivial matters outside disturb, what do you think is the problem?" ”

"Who knows if you persecuted the emperor!" Someone questioned.

Qi Yanzhi raised his eyes and swept to the person who spoke, "Why don't you go and force one to take a look?" See if the Praetorian Guard is as stupid as you say. ”

"You're using strong words!" The mouths of this group of people together could not be said to be one of Qi Yan's mouths, and they were collectively annoyed and angry.

"If there is something to start and retreat, no matter how loud it is, it will be considered to disturb the court." Qi Yanzhi sang with a white face, and Yu Ning maintained his usual style in the court, he couldn't really offend the ministers, and all the things that offended people were done by Qi Yanzhi.

After another day of fooling around today, Yu Ning sighed after retreating, "I don't know when my father will be able to go to the ground." ”

"What if he can't get off the ground, what will the prince do?" Qi Yanzhi asked him.

Compared with Qi Yanzhi's calmness, Yu Ning was still a little flustered, this situation was something he hadn't thought about, suddenly Yao Guifei died, the emperor fell, and suddenly he became the prince, and all the forces in the court were ready to move, and he was not prepared at all. Even he didn't understand the affairs of the court, if it weren't for Qi Yanzhi's support these days, he wouldn't be able to cope with it at all.

"I'm going to do my best to calm the situation." Yu Ning said.

"How to settle down?" Qi Yanzhi asked.

Yu Ning replied: "Killing one to make an example of a hundred rubbed the rebellious heart of the Three Princes' Party." ”

Qi Yanzhi: "Kill whom?" Shang Shangshu or the Third Prince? ”

Yu Ning was stunned for a moment, "Shang Shangshu is an important minister of the imperial court, will killing him cause conflicts?" ”

Qi Yanzhi shook his head, the Nine Emperors are still too benevolent, the court is like a battlefield, there is no mercy, and a little relaxation is an irreparable defeat.

"Nine Emperor Princes, capture the thief and capture the king, not only the thief nor the king, if you are facing the team of Yarutu, what should you do?"

"Naturally, it's all in one place!" Yu Ning said immediately.

Immediately, he figured out what Qi Yanzhi meant, and he was surprised: "But the Three Princes Party is involved in a lot, and I can't kill them all?" ”

Qi Yanzhi smiled, "If you should go, you have to go, whether you are preparing to take the throne for many years or being ordered in danger, the forces that are not loyal to you must be removed, but it is a difference between morning and evening, you assume that everything is hindered during your reign, and it is not up to you, what will you do?" And now you are facing a situation where you live and die, you can't bear it, they will bear it, those who in turn pretend to cater to you, you simply don't think about it, they are the grass on the wall, they are obedient to you today, and when you are weak, they will betray you in the same way. ”

That being said, isn't that tantamount to a killing spree?

Seeing him hesitate, Qi Yanzhi said again: "It depends on the vision of the Nine Emperor Princes, who to go to and who to keep, it's up to you to decide." ”

Yu Ning nodded, "Thank you for mentioning it, you have been in the palace for the past few days, are you okay in the house?" ”

Qi Yanzhi has not been in the house recently, and he has not seen Xie Ruqing for a long time, so he is a little worried in his heart, so he said: "The minister will go back today." ”

Yu Ning nodded, "You can go back and have a look, the capital has not been very stable recently, so try not to go to the street as much as possible." ”

Qi Yanzhi nodded yes.

Xie Ruqing has been in the house recently, and she is really bored when Qi Yanzhi is not at home, but fortunately, Qi Wan comes to accompany her as usual, and occasionally stays at night, and the two of them play and gossip together, and the days pass quickly.

"Sister Ruqing, I don't know what's going on in the palace." Qi Wan sighed every day.

Recently, the palace has not been peaceful, Yao Guifei was executed, the emperor was seriously ill, and the nine princes became the crown princes, all of which are great changes, especially when I heard that the courtiers were dissatisfied with the prince, Qi Wanru became more and more worried, for fear that Yuning would be in danger.

Xie Ruqing had no choice but to comfort her, "The Nine Emperor Princes have military power in their hands, and the Emperor has the Imperial Forest Army, and he is not as weak as he seems to be when he is the crown prince, and he is not afraid." ”

The reason why they dare to question Yu Ning is nothing more than because he has no power in the DPRK and China, and he can't stand without supporters, but Xie Ruqing believes that Qi Yanzhi is there, as long as he is there, Yu Ning will have no problem.

"Fortunately, Hou Ye is by his side to help him." Qi Wanru said.

Xie Ruqing thought for a while and asked her, "Do you want to go into the palace to have a look?" ”

"Huh?" Qi Wanru was surprised, "This, is this okay?" ”

Frankly, she really wanted to enter the palace to see Yu Ning, but the palace was not something that could be entered and exited casually, at least she couldn't get in herself.

"You just say do you want to?" Xie Ruqing teased.

Qi Wanru immediately blushed, "If it's convenient, I, I want to go and see him." ”

"That's not it." Xie Ruqing immediately got up and changed his clothes, "I'll lead you into the palace later." ”

She also thought about Qi Yanzhi, since he couldn't come back, it would be the same for her to enter the palace to take a look, anyway, it was not difficult to enter the palace, so Yu Jun was accommodating, and just let it go in by knocking on the small door.
