Chapter 170: The sun is empty
Shen Yuan's book didn't take too long.
The emperor died in October of this year.
At the end of September, the emperor was suddenly in a good mood that day, and announced that Quan Wentian would accompany him.
Quan Wentian asked the emperor where he wanted to go, and the emperor thought about it and wanted to go and see Princess Changyi.
It was originally only necessary to walk a path from the emperor's palace to Shen Yuan, but that day I got a report from my subordinates that Princess Changyi was listening to the Taifu lecture in the study at the moment.
"Yan Zhangmao's knowledge is good, but people are too pedantic." The Emperor commented casually.
"Let's go, let's take a look."
So everyone temporarily transferred to a study where Shen Yuan was studying. This temporary change of course is not the path that ordinary emperors would take. And the emperor has not been out for more than a month.
The group passed by the back door of a side hall and heard whispers inside.
Listening carefully, the emperor and everyone changed color.
However, at first, I just thought that it was a cowardly guard who had an affair with the palace maid and did the ugly death of this ** harem.
When the people were brought out, everyone couldn't help but gasp. The emperor couldn't stand on his feet, and took two steps back, thanks to Quan Wentian's quick hand to support the emperor.
Concubine Tong knelt on the ground and was still messing up her messy clothes in a panic, and hurriedly stuffed the big red and green lotus leaves into her belly pocket.
The prince knelt aside, and only wore his coat carelessly.
The emperor's condition worsened, and there was no possibility of recovery.
In the way of Wei Huaqu's face, Concubine Wei was placed under house arrest in the palace, and the crown prince was placed under house arrest in his mansion in Anyang. No one is allowed to go out without an edict.
Many people say that the emperor was able to bump into his concubine and the prince fornicating with the prince, which was designed by Quan Wentian.
But Shen Yuan didn't think so.
Everyone in the world thinks that Quan Wentian is a powerful minister, and he will only gain power. However, Shen Yuan lived in the palace these days, but he felt that Quan Wentian and the emperor both had a bit of sincerity towards each other's monarchs and ministers. It is about the beginning of acquaintance and dependence, so they are particularly sympathetic.
Quan Wentian wants to bring down the crown prince There are a hundred ways, and he will not choose this kind of one that makes the emperor sad so much.
The emperor died.
Wei Huaqu surrounded the palace overnight.
Quan Wentian held the last photo of the first emperor in his hand, and he was anxious about the ministers like the court.
"But Wei Huaqu ......"
Whether it is a civil official or a eunuch, although he looks down on these military attaches on weekdays, when facing hundreds of thousands of troops and bright sharp knives, his feet will inevitably become weak and his heart trembles.
"So what, don't you have to tell a reason in everything, can he kill us all?" There are many discussions among the ministers of the previous court.
"Kill all the officials in the world? He dares! Someone chimed in.
But it's still scary when I think about it.
"Look! Who's that? Someone whispered. The prince also came.
In the court, Quan Wentian was waiting to read out the posthumous photo.
"You're deceiving everyone!" Concubine Tong was escorted by Wei Huaqu and broke in.
"The first emperor was already in a coma in the later period, and even when he was awake, he could not lift a pen and write. As far as the mourning family knows, the first emperor never touched pen and ink before he died, let alone wrote any posthumous photos! Concubine Wei Xing'er said loudly.
The matter between her and the crown prince is not known to everyone because it involves the royal face. At this time, there is no way to question her character, so that everyone knows that she is not credible.
Helplessly, in the eyes of everyone, she is still the emperor's favorite concubine who was always by his side.
"At a young age, the mourning family is very good." Shen Yuan thought in his heart.
Only then did Shen Yuan understand that in fact, it didn't matter whether the emperor only listened to Concubine Wen or not. It was enough for her to convince everyone else that the emperor knew everything about her, and even obeyed her words.
Sure enough, as soon as Concubine Tong's words came out, there was a lot of discussion in the court.
Shen Yuan is in a room next door to the court. There is a small window where you can see the scene in the court, and you can hear the sound.
It's just that she is dressed formally today, and the headdress alone feels like it weighs more than a dozen pounds, and she has been wearing it for an hour, and her neck is about to break.
Jin Shan stayed behind her.
"Wei Huaqu dared to enter the palace so easily." Shen Yuan said softly.
Originally, she was still thinking about how to trick Wei Huaqu into the palace. He has tens of thousands of elite soldiers outside the palace, and she can't help him, and she is very jealous. But if it is one-on-one in the palace, he may not be his opponent.
In fact, although those civil officials are pedantic on weekdays, there is a good sentence today. "Who is the emperor in the end, in fact, the reason is very simple."
So Shen Yuan looked back at Jin Shan, "You still remember my master." ”
Jin Shan: "How can you not remember." ”
Just listen to Shen Yuan said, "What my master taught is actually the biggest truth in this world......"
Jin Shan bowed his head and was silent.
He never knew what the principle of killing could be.
But since she said so, there must be a reason for her to say so.
Someone in the court spoke again, and Shen Yuan and Jin Shan hurriedly listened carefully.
is nothing more than a matter of succession, and most of them still respect the crown prince. In these years, there have been many people who have been dissatisfied with Quan Wentian's control of the government, but the emperor has no choice but to rely on it, so many people have secretly given the crown prince the ability to change the situation.
There are also some voices who say that the emperor's is just Kwon Wentian's party.
"I still have to read the edict, and after reading it, please tell the truth from the false." Saying that, Quan Wentian opened the edict.
"Because the emperor is still young, it is rumored to be located in the emperor's younger brother, and after the emperor's brother is a hundred years old, let the emperor Zhou Yuan inherit the unification. I also hope that the emperor's brother will help me to raise the emperor well......"
"It's ......"
"It's!"
"Oh my God!"
At first glance, when I heard the edict, there was silence in the court.
Quiet. It's eerily quiet.
Everyone was in shock. Except for Wei Huaqu, these generals, I don't know why.
After a moment of silence, before I knew it, the edict had been read.
Quan Wentian put together the edict and handed it over to Cheng Fuzhi.
"Xiangye, please take a look at it too."
Cheng Fuzhi took it with a solemn face, only glanced at the edict, and blurted out, "Ah! It's really the word of the first emperor! ”
With a bang, the court exploded.
This first emperor is not talking about the one who just died, but the first emperor. The emperor's brother, the emperor's own father!
"Unexpectedly, the legendary edict is true!"
Some officials discussed. This time it wasn't a whisper, but a voice that everyone around could hear.
The ministers kept echoing it.
Concubine Tong and Wei Huaqu quickly exchanged glances, but neither found that they could get useful information from each other. Completely confused.
What kind of edict is not the emperor's, but the emperor's! That was an edict made ten years ago!
Ten years ago, Concubine Tong was still a little doll with incomplete teeth, and she really didn't have much say in this matter.
Looking at the prince again, his face was blank.
In fact, he has only heard rumors about this matter, and has never verified it. Or they have been avoiding and don't want to verify.
And there are people in the DPRK and China...... Especially those old Wenchen, who knew about it......
For example, Cheng Fuzhi......
Cheng Fuzhizi carefully read the edict repeatedly, and suddenly his eyes were full of tears.
"Your Majesty!" Cheng Fuzhi knelt down and bowed, and the old tears were rampant.
Many civil officials behind him shouted Your Majesty, and then knelt down in a large area.
Quan Wentian sneered twice, and also knelt down. He knew that Cheng Fuzhi's voice was not the emperor. It was the former emperor who died ten years ago.
O man!
Kwon Wentian calculated in his heart. Kneeling down and shouting at the same time, "Welcome to the palace!" ”
"Welcome to the palace!"
"Welcome to the palace!"
"Welcome to the palace!"
Voices came out layer by layer. In this not too big palace hall, it still looks very **.
Shen Yuan turned around and smiled brightly at Jin Shan, "It's time for me to appear!" ”
The position of king, she had never thought of before. However, sitting in this position today, sometimes Shen Yuan doesn't know how he did it.
I only know that this position is not easy, she is not easy to do, it is really hard.
"Zhongqing is flat." Shen Yuan sat on the throne of the emperor and said in a loud voice.
Jin Shan stood behind him, as if he was guarding with a knife in front of the emperor.
The people who fell to their knees slowly stood up. Many people looked up at this emperor.
"Many people should actually recognize Lonely, but it has been a long time since he left the palace. Isn't it Cheng Xiangye. Shen Yuan asked Cheng Fuzhi with a faint smile.
Cheng Fuzhi was also looking up at Shen Yuan carefully. The appearance of the emperor when I was a child in my memory and the woman in front of me are stacked on top of each other, and it is true! Emperor, I've finally returned to the court!
Cheng Fuzhi burst into tears again.
Shen Yuan swept towards the prince, but the prince didn't even have the heart to argue. I've long since given up the struggle after doing it. Concubine Tong was also paralyzed on the ground.
Wei Huaqu remained silent. But his hand gripped the hilt tightly
Bring a knife inside. Shen Yuan sighed in her heart.
Then I listened to Wei Hua's channel, "It doesn't matter which play Lao Tzu is singing, even if the edict of the first emperor is true, is it the emperor to find a random woman?" How to win the trust of the ministers, how to win the trust of the world? I also said that Wei Xing'er is the emperor! ”
That's a bit vexatious.
Cheng Fuzhi said, "There is nonsense in front of the emperor, and we are all people who have seen the young emperor." How can you admit your mistake! ”
Wei Huaqu: "Maybe Cheng Xiangye is old, and it is inevitable that he will be dizzy, how can he be convincing." Moreover, there are many people who look similar, and it is not difficult to find those who have a heart. ”
Jin Shan quietly tensed his body.
He now somewhat understood Shen Yuan's sentence that her master taught the greatest truth in the world.
Communicating with Wei Huaqu is probably impossible to say.
Sure enough, in less than a moment, someone from outside the palace came in.
Everyone in the court has changed color, is there going to be someone splashing blood in the court today?
"Wei Huaqu, if you want to rebel, you can't do it!" There was a bold reprimand.
Wei Huaqu: "Hmph! I'm just questioning the truth of a few words about the emperor, what's the matter, is it because I can't say it? There is no excuse for this desire to add to sin! ”
Quan Wentian waved his hand, "Take it." ”
The imperial forest army in the palace were all Quan Wentian's people, and after listening to the order, they rushed straight to Wei Huaqu.
Shen Yuan's expression changed, and he wanted to open his mouth to stop it, but it was too late.
How can Wei Huaqu be so easy to catch, I'm afraid it's urgent.
Sure enough, Wei Huaqu did not flee out, but rushed straight to the throne.
"Since you are in such a hurry to tear your face and want to kill me, then Wei is welcome!"
As he spoke, a sword light was like lightning, slashing straight towards Shen Yuan!
