00178 Variable: Wrong will
Chinese Feng Lingdu's words made me think about it, his is not reasonable, the emperor is quite scheming, if half of the three provinces and six departments of the imperial court are Jiang Yisheng's people, it is fine, and now Jiang Yisheng of the three provinces and six departments of the imperial court can win over two or three, which is the limit.
Looking at the court, there are authoritative, people who can convince the public and represent the emperor, my eyes narrowed slightly, Xie Wenjing......
I originally thought that this holy decree would be read by Father-in-law Su, who was the personal father-in-law of the emperor, and he also had a certain degree of reliability when he read the decree, but now that I think about it, this is not a foolproof strategy.
After thinking about it, Xie Wenjing must read it out, so that everyone in the three provinces and six departments of the imperial court knows that Xie Wenjing has begun to assist the fourth emperor......
"Your Highness also has a candidate?" Seeing that I was thinking, Feng Lingdu asked softly, "Who is your Highness thinking in your heart?" β
I slowly twisted my fingers, and only after a long time did I say, "The person who reads the holy decree, I already have a candidate in mind, now what I am worried about is Gu Qingfang outside the city, and the soldiers and horses of your Cloud City Sanzhou can't be transferred now, I will always worry about the long night and dreams!" β
Feng Lingdu arched his hand again: "If there is only Gu Qingmad, His Royal Highness does not have to worry, General Guan's men and horses have been used by His Royal Highness the Prince, and the minister has gathered all the secret posts in the capital, even if Gu Qingmad attacks the city, the minister dares to guarantee that within ten days, he will not be able to attack it!" β
A dark cloud covered the moonlight, and my eyes looked out of the door, "So what we have to do now is to be fast, as long as Jiang Yisheng becomes the emperor in the name of righteousness, Gu Qingyan has to obey him, be fast, solve everything overnight, and send someone to guard the ...... of the heart."
"Yes!" Feng Lingdu clenched his fists and said solemnly.
Xie Wenjing...... I sent someone to give him a Gu worm, I don't know if he is dead, Jiang Yisheng looked like he was asleep, except for frowning, he removed all the sharp and yin owls, and his long eyelashes were a little shadowy.
I reached out and stroked his resolute and cold face, this person, what should I do with him? Love Him...... Don't love him......
Don't love him...... Yes, you can't love him......
"Poof!" With a bang, suddenly, a stream of blood gushed out of his mouth......
"Ahem!" I coughed a few times, as if coughing up the pain in my heart, and gently wiped the corners of my mouth with my hand, not loving him...... Can't love him...... He is the one who wants to be the emperor...... His starlight is now flourishing, and I must be ruthless and let him sit on the throne of the King of God, so that I have no worries.........
Sitting on the chair, until the blood I vomited dried up and my limbs were numb, I slowly got up, found a silk handkerchief, and wrapped my face......
I want him to add a dragon robe, sitting on the emperor of Jiang Kingdom, no one can stop it, no one can stop it......
I got up and walked out, and the joy and wheat ears in my heart were both loyal people, and the joy took a book in his hand and handed it to me with a heart: "Your Highness, this is the book that Imperial Physician Jiang gave to Your Highness before, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince moved those boxes of books, and the book fell in the cracks, and the slave thought that His Highness must not have read it!" β
I took it and flipped through it, but I didn't see anything wrong, and told Xile: "Guard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince well, keep an eye on the Heart Cultivation Hall and Kunning Palace, and don't let anyone approach His Royal Highness the Prince!" β
Joy knelt down and replied: "Yes, the slave guarantees with his life and resolutely does not let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suffer the slightest harm!" β
Stepping on the moonlight, his eyes were extremely determined and he walked out of the palace......
Back in the palace, wearing the veil that made Yan Xiao worry for a while, I frowned and asked, "Is there a seizure of the Gu worm in Xie Wenjing's body?" β
Yan Xiao counted the time and shook her head: "Niang Niang asked the slave to be more secretive, the slave and the maid chose the slowest Gu worm, and there are two more, Xie Wenjing will probably be able to fall ill in bed, and after lying on the bed for three years, he will die silently!" β
I took out the holy decree and raised my eyes to look at Yan Xiao: "Let Xie Wenjing know that he has been hit by a Gu worm, and let him read the emperor's edict on the throne in the imperial court tomorrow!" By the way, his grandson Xie Chen was also infected with Gu worms, if he didn't want to, he would directly let Xie Chen die! β
Yan smiled and held the holy decree in both hands: "Slave and maid, let's do it!" β
"Bring a few more people, and bring more Gu worms!" When I saw that she was leaving, I couldn't help but remind: "As long as they don't want to, kill them, and don't show mercy to their subordinates!" β
My indifference and ruthlessness made Yanxiao's expression tighten: "The slave knows how to do it, don't worry!" β
My hand was on the jade seal, stroking it slowly, and I sent someone to find Guan Sangbai, Fenglingdu had already sent someone to take over General Guan's soldiers, and gathered General Guan's 200,000 horses and horses ten miles away from the capital!
Even if General Guan is unwilling, he has no military talismans and has to obey orders, and these 200,000 people will be like a strong line of defense......
Guan Sangbai hadn't come yet, but he waited until Gu Qingfang, who was thirty miles away, he was wearing a night suit, and entered through the window, I stared at him, he touched the back of his head, and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you don't even have a master in this palace, you are not afraid of being wiped on your neck!" β
Looking at those familiar eyes, I was stunned, poured a glass of water casually, and pushed the table: "What is the reason why General Gu came to visit at night?" β
With his hand still on the brocade box of the jade seal, he slowly knocked on it, and Gu Qingfang raised his eyebrows: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forced the palace to rebel, Gu Mou is not talented, the matter in the afternoon, I only received the news in the evening, and I entered the city overnight, it was too late!" After that, he sat down, picked up the tea, and drank it all.
I looked at him: "You entered the palace?" β
Gu Qingfang nodded: "The Heart Cultivation Palace is heavily guarded, and the Kunning Palace is heavily guarded, and General Ben doesn't know that the Praetorian Guard in the capital is the person of His Royal Highness the Prince!" β
I was stunned, leading the guards to lead the minister of the capital first-class military attachΓ©, today I still wondered slightly, Jiang Yisheng came to the palace, except for the Praetorian Guards around the Yangxin Palace, I didn't see anyone else, it turned out that Jiang Yisheng had already quietly pulled such an important person into his command.
Gu Qingfang also drank the water with a grunt, poured a glass unceremoniously, and continued: "Your Highness, once the commander of the guard turns against each other, it will be considered the end of the capital, and the general still wants to do a dying struggle to protect my emperor and the queen mother, but my emperor's appearance is more auspicious. β
"What is your agreement with the Empress Dowager?" I asked, half-narrowed.
Gu was stunned for a moment, and asked me with a smile, the beard on his face trembled, "Your Highness, what are you talking about, Gu doesn't understand!" β
My hand walked and rested on the table, leaning forward slightly, "General Gu doesn't understand, what's the matter, why didn't you appear in the capital for no reason?" If there was no agreement with the Empress Dowager, General Gu should be thirty miles outside the capital by now. β
Gu Qing laughed wildly, and said heartily: "Your Royal Highness is really smart, the Queen Mother and Gu agreed that every day when it is almost dusk, a black smoke will be lit in the palace, black smoke represents peace, if there is no black smoke, it is clear that someone will force the palace to rebel, Gu can lead an army of 300,000 into the city to arrest the rebellious ministers and thieves!" β
"Gu didn't see the black smoke today, so he sneaked into the capital alone, I didn't expect what the Queen Mother said to be true, someone really forced the palace to rebel, Gu has something unclear, please show it to His Royal Highness!"
Although Gu Qingyan was laughing, there was no smile in his eyes at all.
I smiled slightly: "General Gu, please!" β
Gu Qingfang smiled wildly, and his eyes locked on me tightly: "It is rumored in the capital that the third prince and the second prince have passed away, and the eldest prince has become the crown prince. β
My fingers were slowly tapping on the tabletop, and I replied softly: "General Gu actually asked like this, just like General Gu, knowing that it is an ironclad matter, why do you want to do it with such disapproval, what is it?" Ming has already involved the danger of life, if Ming's life is not in danger, no one will risk a big disapproval, General Gu understands? β
Gu Qingfang was silent for a moment, I opened the box of the heirloom jade seal and pushed it in front of him, "This is Jiang Guo's heirloom jade seal, the edict of the heirloom is written by this palace, if General Gu wants to work for the emperor and the queen mother, take the heirloom jade seal back, and raise 300,000 troops to protect the emperor and the queen mother!" β
The corners of Gu Qingfang's eyes twitched, he coughed dryly, his eyes stared at the jade seal of the country, and a touch of shock flashed in his eyes: "It seems that His Royal Highness entered the palace and experienced life and death, but what Gu didn't understand was that His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were not close to each other, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not need to force the palace to rebel for His Royal Highness!" β
"This palace is Princess Jiang!" I said lightly: "This palace is the sister of His Royal Highness the Prince, eight years ago, Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother wanted to kill the palace, and the palace married Princess Yihe by mistake in order to survive, and General Gu should know that the mother family of the palace is the Feng family, and the Queen Mother wants all the people of the Feng family to die, and the palace and His Royal Highness the Prince have the blood of the Feng family, and the Queen Mother can't stay." β
Gu Qingyan continued to be silent when he heard this, but this time he frowned and was silent, and after a long time, he said: "His Royal Highness Prince Ming ascended the throne, and the emperor and the queen mother have no chance to fight back at all!" β
I looked at him without blinking: "The emperor and the queen mother have a chance to fight back, their biggest bargaining chip now is you, if you lead the Yongcheng army to the capital to escort, His Royal Highness the crown prince has no chance of winning, all of us have to die!" β
Gu Qingfang half-narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Since His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have forced the palace to rebel, how can there be no one in their hands?" As far as General Guan is concerned, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is his quasi-son-in-law, and he is the one who wants to be the ruler of the country! β
I naturally understood the meaning of Gu Qing's wild words, and according to his thoughts, General Guan had been used by Jiang Yisheng.
I didn't admit it, nor did I deny it, but said coldly: "What the hell is General Gu, it's better to give a happy word, this palace doesn't like to speculate on people's hearts!" But this palace can tell you that if General Gu doesn't choose well, once His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sits on the throne, General Gu will only have a dead end, of course...... General Gu also has a second way to choose! β
Xu is my eyes are too cold, braving the cold light, Gu Qing's crazy words are also cold: "Since His Royal Highness is like this, Gu Mou can only, if the Empress Dowager sends a decree to let Gu Mou enter the city to escort him, Gu Mou and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only have a sword and a crossbow, if Gu Mou has received the will from the Empress Dowager and the emperor, Gu Mouquan should not know about forcing the palace to rebel." β
I slowly pulled the jade seal of the country on my table, slowly stood up, and gave Gu a half-salute: "This palace has thanked General Gu here, and after this incident, this palace invites General Gu to drink......
"Ahem!" I coughed suddenly, one hand on the table, the other to my lips, the smell of blood spreading, blood staining the veil red.
Gu Qingfang stretched out his hand and pulled it suddenly, tearing off my veil, my red and swollen face, the corners of my mouth were slowly spilling blood, and I was suddenly exposed to his eyes.
Gu Qingfang's pupils changed slightly, and he held a veil stained with my blood in his hand, "Gu didn't know that as a noble person with a status as noble as His Royal Highness, he was still injured like this!" β
I coughed up tears and tears came out, as if there was no longer pain in my heart, just a simple numb coughing up of blood, regardless of the occasion.
Finally stopped coughing, one of my hands was also dyed red, and I wiped the corners of my mouth with my sleeve: "General Gu now knows, why did the younger brother of this palace rebel, General Gu now knows that as a nobleman, he seems to be unparalleled, and he seems to be incomparable to his dignity, but in fact, he is just a pitiful worm like this palace!" β
Gu Qingfang's eyes flickered, and he slowly lowered his eyes, dragging my veil in his hand, and his voice was faint: "As soon as the women outside the palace entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, but I never thought that the people in the palace were so pitiful......"
I smiled weakly: "There are gains and losses, we are born with more than others, and we naturally lose more than others, General Gu, this palace hopes that General Gu will be the talker, without the queen mother and the emperor's decree, General Gu can stand still!" β
Gu stood up frantically, looked at me deeply, and asked: "From the moment Gu saw His Highness, His Highness seems to have seen Gu before, His Highness looks at Gu Mou's eyes, his mind is one, and sometimes even his eyes are tearful, Gu has thought for a long time and has never seen His Highness, can Gu ask His Highness why this is?" β
I didn't expect him to ask me this question, he was full of beard and I couldn't see his true face, but did he have a pair of eyes like Nan Jiyun?
I closed my eyes slightly and took a deep breath: "General Gu misunderstood, this palace thinks that General Gu's eyes are more beautiful, so I take a second look, as for tears, this palace and General Gu met twice, both when the dust was flying, the dust fell into the eyes, and they were naturally blinded." β
"It turned out that Gu had misunderstood...... I thought that His Highness thought that Gu was like a certain person who His Highness looked familiar! Gu Qingfang hugged my fists and saluted: "Gu said goodbye, Your Highness take care!" β
I bowed my head and jumped out of the window as he did when he came......
I slowly sat down on the edge of the table, unexpectedly Gu Qingyan would be like this, and then Guan Sangbai came, I chatted with her casually, and by the way, I told him about Jiang Yisheng's current situation.
Guan Sangbai heard that Jiang Yisheng was seriously injured and unconscious, and his eyes turned red in an instant, I comforted her a few times, and asked her to go back and persuade General Guan, and she left in tears.
I looked at the dark night, summoned the witch doctor, and the witch doctor treated me as a result, my health was worse than before, and he still said that I should go back to southern Xinjiang as soon as possible, otherwise my life would be in danger.
I asked him to mix medicine for me, no longer vomiting blood casually, I can't let Jiang Yisheng know that my body is about to collapse, all this will wait until he sits on the throne, and I can't make any changes now.
The witch doctor was extremely unsympathetic to the suppression of medicine, but in the face of my cold light, he went to mix medicine overnight......
When Yanxiao came back, Yanxiao told me that Xie Wenjing had received the holy decree and planned to read it out in front of hundreds of civil and military officials in the imperial court tomorrow morning......
But what made me wonder Xie Wenjing did not hesitate to follow the holy decree, and said with a smile: "Niangniang, the slave maid just understood the intention, Xie Wenjing took the holy decree, and the slave maid didn't have time to say anything else!" β
I furrowed my brows slightly: "So, Xie Wenjing didn't know that he had been hit by a Gu worm and was about to die?" β
Yan Xiao said in a deep voice: "Yes, the slave has already sent someone to dye Xie Chen and also laid Gu worms, but Xie Wenjing doesn't know about this!" β
Xie Wenjing, the elder of the three dynasties, tried a lot of time and chose the side that was most beneficial to him, but he suddenly ...... I don't speculate at all about how the queen mother and the emperor are in the palace, and they don't look like him......
A trace of uneasiness slowly appeared in his heart, and Su Shifang's words to me even appeared, he: "Your Highness, with the minion's understanding of the emperor for many years, if the emperor had woken up a long time ago, he would definitely have laid out the situation, and His Highness must act with heart!" β
The emperor has set up a game, what kind of game will it be?
Did I overthink it, or something else?
I didn't sleep all night, when the rooster crowed, I hurried into the palace and came to Bang Xinwan, Jiang Yisheng was wearing the prince's court clothes, and when he saw me coming, a touch of displeasure flashed in his eyes, as if he was blaming me, why did he give him a calming medicine.
"Do you feel unwell?" I stepped forward and asked with concern, "Can I change my medicine today?" β
Jiang Yisheng circled his arms and encircled me in his arms, I didn't dare to touch his chest, so I had to say urgently: "You don't want to die!" β
Jiang Yisheng rested his chin on my shoulder, and his voice was dull: "Your face still hurts?" β
I broke free from his arms and pulled down the veil on my face: "It's all right, it doesn't hurt at all!" I took the jade seal of the country and wrote the edict of succession, which was read on the spot by Xie Wenjing this morning! β
Jiang Yisheng crossed my cheek with his fingertips and asked lightly: "I am not a member of the orthodox Jiang royal family, you are the most orthodox Jiang Guo bloodline, so willingly give me the throne?" β
"What's not to do?" I frowned and asked!
Jiang Yisheng was slightly stunned, "There's nothing you can't do!" Leaning over and kissing the corner of my mouth, he rolled over it little by little, and whispered like an oath: "I will marry you openly, we will be together, life and death together!" β
A hint of bitterness appeared at the corners of my mouth, and I slowly lowered my head...... Life and death depend on each other, these four words sound both romantic and beautiful...... It's a pity that it doesn't matter to me anymore......
In the early dynasty, there was a coup d'Γ©tat in the palace, no one knew, Jiang Yisheng and I came to the court early, and I hid behind the curtain......
When all the civil and military officials came, Xie Wenjing was late, and the battle was the biggest one he posed, because he had not been to the court for a long time, and his arrival caused a sigh from the civil and military officials.
He held the holy decree in his hand, came directly to the middle of the court, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor has a decree, and the crown prince Jiang Yisheng will receive the decree!" β
The civil and military officials did not see the Queen Mother today, they had already begun to figure it out in their hearts, their eyes had already looked at each other, and they were shocked to hear that Xie Wenjing had read out the holy decree, and they were all looking forward to it.
"The edict of the flattering emperor said, I have been unwell recently, and the crown prince Jiang Yisheng has outstanding character and virtue, so it is rumored that he is in the prince!"
I frowned slightly, this is not the decree I wrote......
Jiang Yisheng was just about to stretch out his hand to receive the holy decree, Xie Wenjing paused, swept over the civil and military officials, and said: "The prince is sixteen this year, and he has not yet married a wife and had children. If the prince is contrary to his will, abolish the prince and appoint someone else, please this! β
Sure enough, it wasn't the holy decree I wrote, no wonder I smiled at Xie Wenjing and agreed to take over the matter of reading the will, it turned out that the emperor had already prepared, he was telling Jiang Yisheng that he and I could never be together, he wanted to sit on this throne, and he must marry Xie Qingyin while ascending the throne.
The reason why Xie Wenjing agreed to read the holy decree was because the emperor promised Xie Qingyin the position of empress.
His family has produced a queen, which will benefit him and do no harm, but he can continue to be prosperous and rich for a lifetime, even more glorious than before.
