Chapter 344: Chaos has risen
He led the remaining ministers away one after another and went to rest in the side hall.
After they left, Emperor Yan summoned the attendants around him and ordered unusually calmly: "Go and bring the Tianxiang Pill." ”
Now he is lying on the bed and can't get up, it's very difficult to even move, he can clearly feel every bit of strength lost in his body, and when these things are gone, Hua Tuo will be reborn, and he can't save his life.
Emperor Yan knew that it had come to the last moment.
The chief eunuch had red eyes, lowered his head and walked to the secret room to take out the sandalwood box.
When opened, there were two black pills inside.
"Give me something to eat."
Look, even if you have been in the limelight?
Now when he is dying, he is still lying on the bed and unable to move, and even if he wants to take medicine, he has to be carefully served by someone to achieve it.
Emperor Yan's heart was desolate.
After taking the Tianxiang Pill, he finally felt that his body had regained some strength, and then he weakly instructed the chief eunuch: "Order the dining room to make some good food and send it, don't forget the ministers who are resting in the side hall." ”
He had to take two more bites when he could eat, and so on so that he could hold on for a while longer.
The chief eunuch nodded with red eyes.
Emperor Yan didn't seem to know the sorrow in his heart, and continued to ask, "Lord Zhong, what's wrong?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty's words, Lord Zhong is just angry, after the imperial doctor saw it, he said that it was no big deal, and now he is recuperating in the side hall, and he must be able to wake up after a while."
"Good." Emperor Yan nodded: "Send someone to watch carefully, Lord Zhong has been for the country for many years, and he is a meritorious person in the court, so he can't be neglected." ”
Hearing this, the chief eunuch finally couldn't help the sadness in his heart, and couldn't help but hide his face and cry: "Your Majesty, you better rest well, take care of your body, and don't worry about these things anymore." ”
What's the use of so much heart?
In the end, his own life was almost gone.
Hearing this, Emperor Yan grabbed the futon under his hand, felt the meager strength coming from his thin fingertips, and said with a light smile: "Don't stop, when I die, there will be more time to rest." ”
"As for now, it's time to get busy."
"Pick me up, prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone."
Emperor Yan is too stubborn, looking at his posture, he is ready to die, and after looking down on life and death, he doesn't take anything in his eyes at all now.
The chief eunuch had no choice, so he carefully ordered someone to help Emperor Yan get up, and he spread a thick futon on the dragon chair, and said: "Your Majesty don't worry, the hour is still early, just take your time when you want to write." ”
"I know what I know."
Yan Huang's faint reply came.
Just this short distance made him feel out of breath, a lot of sweat broke out on his forehead, and a feeling of horror arose in his heart.
Although it was uncomfortable, it strengthened his thoughts from the bottom of his heart.
It's going to be as soon as possible.
The hour was still early, but there was time left for him. Not much left.
Waved everyone away, leaving the chief eunuch alone to serve.
Yan Yiheng raised the pen, and the chief eunuch immediately sharpened the ink skillfully.
In a short time, one word after another fell on the bright yellow decree.
I wrote three times in a row.
It wasn't until he used up his last bit of strength that Yan Huang threw away the brush and collapsed on the dragon chair panting.
Seeing this, the chief eunuch felt sour, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, will the slave help you go back to the couch to rest?" ”
"It's fine."
Conserve your stamina and plan for the future.
The three holy decrees were carefully found by the chief eunuch to find a place to hide.
He didn't know what was written in it, but seeing that Emperor Yan was so cautious, he also guessed that what was written in it must be very important.
At the moment, it must not be seen by outsiders.
The easy-to-restrain meal was served, and it was a meat and vegetable porridge that was extremely thick and had a refreshing aroma.
The chief eunuch waited for Emperor Yan to eat half a bowl, and the rest could not be eaten anymore.
Seeing the remaining half bowl of porridge, the chief eunuch was dissatisfied: "It must be these minions who are cheating and making it difficult to swallow, so that Your Majesty has no appetite, and he should be punished!" ”
Emperor Yan listened, a little helpless, at this moment, he felt that the chief eunuch was messing around: "Their craftsmanship has not changed, I can't eat it, but it doesn't matter, I have eaten a lot of good things in this life, and it is worth it." ”
"Therefore, they should not only not be punished, but also rewarded."
"Yes." The chief eunuch pursed his lips: "Your Majesty is right, then according to your meaning, what should you reward them?" ”
Emperor Yan knew that the reason why the chief eunuch kept chattering in his ears was because he wanted to unite his spirit and not fall into a deep sleep again.
Once he falls asleep again, there is a good chance that he will never wake up again.
Emperor Yan said: "If they can spend it safely this time, he will reward them with one hundred taels of gold and pardon them to go out of the palace to live." ”
Those cooks have been trapped in the palace for the rest of their lives.
Letting them out of the palace is just a matter of showing kindness before he dies and finally doing another good deed.
A master and a servant chattered for a long time.
Among them, the chief eunuch said the most, although Emperor Yan's spirit is not good, he can also give a sentence or two at a critical time.
And so another half an hour passed, until the hour of unitary time passed, and the sun set in the west.
The palace, which had been quiet for a long time, exploded again.
The Praetorian Guard came back and forth as fast as they could.
By this time, he was stained with blood, and his dark red armor was stained with dried blood.
One can imagine how many times the imperial city had invaded in these few short hours.
"Report - the eldest prince has attacked many times to no avail, and at this time he has been ruthless, and he has ordered someone to escort the relatives of your lords' families to the front of the battle, as if he wants to wave his morale with blood!"
The urgent news came in, but who could do anything?
Now in the palace, except for the Praetorian Guards, who still have the strength to fight, they are all old and weak women and children who are powerless.
There was silence in the hall, and in the end, I don't know who couldn't stand this pressure first, and shouted out uncontrollably: "Ahhh!!h Thief! O thief! What kind of ability is it to deceive my wife, children, and mother! ”
"Ridiculous! Yan Zheng Xiaoer, since you forced me to come here, the old man will give you this life!! ”
With that, the out-of-control official stumbled out as if he had gone crazy, his eyes bloodshot.
Seeing this, he noticed that something was wrong one after another, and hurriedly ordered someone to chase him, and he followed suit.
However, when they ran to the top of the imperial city, the white-haired cabinet minister was standing on top of the city wall in the cold wind, shouting and scolding in anger.
"Yan Zheng! You are in vain as the prince of a country, but you are actually a traitor, you provoke internal strife in the country, intending to usurp the throne of the Son of Heaven, and when you die, you will go to the eighteen layers of hell to suffer. ”
"I hate, I hate that I don't have long eyes, and I would be loyal to a disloyal, unrighteous, unkind, and unfilial evil man in the past!"
"Shaft! Your behavior will definitely disgust the people of the world, and you will become a wicked person in the history books, a thief who seizes the country, and will be reviled by thousands of people. ”
The rickety body stood in the wind, spitting on the city wall and cursing at will, this old minister who had been cautious in his words and deeds all his life, finally fell into madness because of extreme desire.
However, he was very conscious.
After a period of scolding, Yan Zheng, who was dressed in a battle robe, stood on horseback and sneered when he heard it: "Chen Ge Lao has high ambitions, and when he dies, he still has the heart to count my sins, Yan Zheng admires it." ”
"However, Chen Ge Lao is so outspoken, he should have put the life and death of a large family out of the way a long time ago, in this case, why don't I reunite with the whole Ge Lao family in the underworld?"
"Someone! Let's start with the Chen family! ”
The angry voice landed, and a panicked cry and scolding came.
From a little distance, he clearly saw that his family members were escorted in front of the battle, each with a large knife hanging from their necks, which could easily take their lives.
Seeing this, the gray-haired Chen Ge Lao cried bitterly, and he even saw his parents in it, as well as his young grandson, who was still a child.
The screaming stopped abruptly, and red blood lines crossed in front of him, and blood fell in midair.
Chen Ge Lao roared heartbreakingly: "It's me who is sorry for you!" But, instead of lingering in the hands of thieves, let's get together as a family in the underworld, you wait for me, and I will come to make amends with you! ”
After that, Chen Ge Lao did not hesitate to plant himself from the city wall several zhang high, and the whole person was like a kite with a broken string.
Suddenly, blood splattered everywhere under the city.
Exclamations of despair abounded.
On the imperial city, Kankan stretched out his hand one after another, and half of his body crossed out of the fence, but he couldn't even grasp a corner of Chen Ge Lao's clothes.
A generation of famous ministers died in a short period of time.
Seeing this, Yan Zheng's anger was not light, and his complexion was distorted.
I saw him raise his hand slightly, and he didn't intend to let go of Chen Ge Lao, who died tragically: "Come on, this old thief has an unclean mouth, offended this prince, and punished him with a hundred whips!" ”
Suddenly, everyone had a new understanding of Yan Zheng's ruthlessness.
Standing on the city wall one after another, he was stunned: "Yan Zheng! How cruel are you, have you forgotten that Elder Chen Ge also taught you when you were young? ”
"Those who become big things are not informal, Lu Guogong doesn't have to shake my mind here, instead of wasting time here, why don't you open the city gate as soon as possible and welcome your new lord into the palace?"
Brag unblushingly! Vertical and dare!
The face of the successive qi is distorted.
However, he had no choice but to watch Yan Zheng shouting under the imperial city.
Soon, Chen Ge Lao's body had been subjected to a hundred lashes, and he couldn't see the original appearance clearly.
Yan Zheng was still puzzled and kicked a few feet, staining the blood of a shoe.
Then he said, "I will wait here, and if you still do not open the gates, I will kill a man every half hour. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
The so-called madness is nothing more than that.
From the old man to the baby, he couldn't escape his clutches.
The Praetorian Guards guarding the Imperial City have experienced a hundred battles, and the Imperial City is already easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you want to attack hard, the losses will not be less.
Therefore, Yan Zheng chose the means of disturbing people's hearts.
If he succeeds, he will be able to ascend to the throne without spending a single soldier.
