Chapter 321: Meeting
Rong Yu and Ling Yao quietly separated after they left the palace.
Ling Yao and Rong Yu returned to the Pingyang Hou Mansion, while Rong Yu was going to see Yan Shu and the others, who were all waiting for news from Rong Yu's side.
They were all very concerned about whether Ling Yao would really kill the emperor.
Rong Yu briefly told them about the things in the palace, and everyone's expressions were different, it seemed that this result was not expected by everyone.
As for Yan Shu, it was quite calm, because Ling Yao did not kill the emperor in Yan Shu's expectations.
In fact, if Ling Yao really killed the emperor today, then Yan Shu would not be surprised.
After all, Yan Shu feels that in such a situation, anything can happen, and if nothing happens, he can handle things well as his eldest brother.
It's just that Ling Yao's approach is more convenient for Yan Shu and them, and the emperor is sick and difficult to deal with, so the courtiers can justifiably support other people in the royal family to act as the government.
Under such circumstances, their group of people led by Yan Guogong would be able to smoothly push His Royal Highness Taisun up.
But in the same way, in the imperial court, in addition to the lineage of His Royal Highness Taisun, there are also factions headed by His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and the dispute between the two factions will be inevitable at that time.
However, such a situation is also a part of their original plan.
"Half of the emperor's side is now our people, and the other half has the emperor's own henchmen and the second prince's people, in this case, it depends on who can be better."
Pingyang Hou said.
"The power of His Royal Highness the Second Prince's wife clan should not be underestimated, I have reliable information to prove that some of the recent garrisons have secretly rushed back to the capital, if we don't solve it as soon as possible, when the time comes, we will really fight them, there will be losses."
Marquis Wei Yuan was also very worried about the situation on the second prince's side.
"The grand duke next to the emperor still wants to remain neutral and refuses to completely throw himself into us, and I suspect that there are other things in it that give him confidence."
Rong Yu frowned, it stands to reason that his mention of Gonggong Dong that day should have been somewhat shaken to his mind, how could he not have more reactions!
"Actually, I don't think Gonggong Dong may be confident, but in this case, no matter who is in power, he should not be liquidated."
This time it was the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Dong Gonggong had been the chief eunuch for so many years, so he was naturally scheming, and now the bargaining chips of both sides should not be enough to impress him, so he Chong did not make a decision.
"From this point of view, Gonggong Dong has a lot of confidence in the second prince!"
It was Tobe Shoshu who spoke.
"Let's check again, what chips are there on the second prince's side, we must not let them strike first!"
Yan Guogong finally spoke when he heard this.
"There is a question, what about the emperor's shadow guard? So far, the emperor's shadow guards have not moved, this really shouldn't be! And when Yaoyao entered the palace that day, I also instructed her to watch out for the shadow guard, but Yaoyao said that there were no masters around the emperor. ”
Yan Shu has been thinking about this matter, and it is impossible for the shadow guard to leave the emperor easily, unless there is something important to do.
"What does the eldest prince mean that the shadow guard was sent out by the emperor?"
The commander of the Praetorian Guard was still a little surprised when he heard the news, although the Shadow Guard was directly subordinate to the emperor and not under the jurisdiction of their Praetorian Guard, but he was still very clear about the discipline requirements of the Shadow Guard, and he must not leave the emperor's side at the same time.
"It's good if it's just sent out to do things, but if they have the emperor's secret edict, it will be troublesome, once they ......"
Yan Shu didn't continue to say this, but everyone here understood that once the emperor had a secret message about the succession to the shadow guard, then even if it could be done in the end, it would be a failure!
"The emperor shouldn't have left a secret edict so early."
"It's hard to say, at that time, the emperor was suspicious of the eldest prince, although he didn't find anything and didn't pursue it further, but don't forget that the emperor is the most suspicious, once he keeps such a hand because of this, it is possible!"
"How's that going to be? None of us have any information about the Shadow Guard, and it's too difficult to track down the Shadow Guard's whereabouts! ”
The problem mentioned by Yan Shu has aroused great attention from everyone, after all, if the secret edict is an edict of succession, then whoever it is above is the rightful heir, but according to the emperor's past style, the possibility of passing the throne to His Royal Highness Taisun is really very small!
"In that case, it's better to let me enter the palace again, and I'll check it out."
Just when everyone couldn't figure out a good solution, Rong Yan opened his mouth.
Rong Yu's proposal is not bad, because there is no more suitable candidate than Rong Yu among the people present, Rong Yu, as the emperor's most trusted Taoist in recent times, has been helping the emperor solve problems for a long time, and it is reasonable to enter the palace at this time.
It's just that if Rong Yan enters the palace again, it will be difficult to come out.
Now that the two forces are in a stalemate, if it is someone else who enters, it may not be brutalized because of the addition of an official position. And Rong Yu, although the emperor has the intention of making Rong Yu a national teacher, but at present, Rong Yu is still just a white Ding after all, if the people of the second prince have the intention to make things difficult, Rong Yu not only can't get out of the palace, but is also easy to be plotted.
"If you enter the palace, you may be trapped in the palace, and at that time, in order to protect the overall situation, we may not be able to help you." Yan Guogong has been immersed in officialdom for many years, so he naturally sees the current situation clearly, and he pays more attention to the results this time. In order to achieve great things, it is not Rong Yan's life, even if it is his own life, he feels that it can be sacrificed.
"It's better to go into the palace with you, and when the time comes, whether it's an investigation or an emergency, there will be a response."
This time it was Yan Shu who spoke, Yan Shu and Yan Guogong's choices were somewhat different, and Yan Shu was willing to do his best to ensure Rong Yu's safety.
Yan Guogong looked at Yan Shu with some astonishment, he knew that his son was a little too angry, but he didn't expect that he would still be reluctant to be righteous today.
Yan Shu is not disregarding the overall situation, but every step in the next step has been properly deployed, as long as he follows the plan, then there will be no mistakes, and as one of the important planners, even if he is gone, it will not have much impact.
So he wanted to help Rong Yan even more.
In fact, he greatly appreciated what Rong Yu had done, Rong Yu was different from others, the others were basically people in the officialdom, and they were originally in the bureau, so they had a lot of plans, these plans were for Haiyan Heqing but also for self-reliance and self-preservation.
And Rong Yu is an outsider, he is just a cultivator, but he would rather walk into this game by himself, he is really and thoroughly for the common people in the world.
