256 Give way
When he went to court the next day, when Fu Hai appeared in the courtroom, everyone except Yun Zhen secretly let out an exclamation.
This is also understandable.
The emperor has not been to the court for nearly three months, and in the first few days, Fuhai still walked around here, but later, even Fuhai disappeared. This had to make the courtiers have a lot of speculation about the emperor's illness.
But the moment Fuhai appeared, the people who originally belonged to the emperor's camp were excited; People who belong to the Queen Mother's Party can't help but be a little shaken in their hearts; And the most interesting thing is that the grass on the wall that sends autumn waves to both sides, and does not scatter eagles when they don't see rabbits, they were still flattering Yun Zhen just now, but when they turned their faces, they ran to Fu Hai's side again, for fear that the chief manager would not see his loyalty.
Yun Zhen looked at the appearance of the beings in the courtroom, and sneered in his heart. For a while, I don't know what more interesting shots will appear.
As the voice of everyone shouting long live, Han Mingyue sat on the dragon chair that he had not seen for a long time, looking at the people in the court, the emperor smiled slightly.
Next, the courtiers expressed their thoughts and worries about the emperor, as well as the joy of seeing the holy face again.
But what happened next was very unexpected for everyone.
"Today, I am in the court, and I have something to say to the people."
"Respectfully hadith."
The emperor smiled and nodded at Fu Hai, who understood, took out the holy decree, and came to the front of the ministers.
"There's a will—"
As soon as Fuhai's three words came out, all the ministers knelt in front of the hall together.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said:
The first emperor collapsed suddenly, returned to the five elements, inherited the emperor's life, the saint's Hongxiu, and obeyed the last order of the Daxing Emperor, belonging to the order of Yilun, and entered the Zongao...... Therefore, it is said that it is located in the Xian Prince Yunzhen, and he still relies on the pro-Xian, and plans to rule the new law.
Chin this. ”
As soon as this edict was read, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked into a cold sweat. Although the emperor has been seriously ill recently, where did he suddenly remember this Zen position? Besides, the emperor himself already has an heir, so why should he pass the throne to his nephew?
It seems that during this time, there were rumors that Yun Zhen intended to force the palace, and it was indeed true.
Zuo Liang also knelt among the ministers, he didn't say a word about these remarks, but just peeked at Yun Zhen, looking at his appearance, it seemed that he had known about this for a long time. There was no surprise, but a little uneasiness.
Yun Zhen knelt in front of the ministers, and he didn't hear the discussion behind him, but his face did not change.
"Prince Xian, take the order."
Yun Zhen heard Fu Hai's voice, kowtowed upward, and then said loudly: "Minister, thank you." ”
With that, Yun Zhen stood up, walked up the steps, and took the will.
"Let's get even."
At this time, the emperor's voice interrupted the discussion below, and the ministers stood up and looked at the emperor and the new lord standing beside him.
"Although I am sick, I have heard some rumors, but the rumors stop at the wise, and those who can live above the temple must not be mediocre. I can't afford to spend all my energy and effort this time. Although he also wants to emulate the ancient sages, he is also powerless. This matter has been decided, and the secretaries don't need to talk about it anymore, loyalty and patriotism are the duty of the secretaries. ”
Above the main hall, there was silence, no one talked about it anymore, not only the rumors stopped at the wise, but the first step to save one's life was to control one's fear of mouth.
"Today, I will summon the world about the Zen throne, and the ceremony will be held in seven days. During this time, I will no longer be in the court, and Prince Xian will still be in charge of the state for the time being. ”
Speaking of this, the emperor looked at Fuhai, then at Yun Zhen, and said, "I'm tired, let's retreat." ”
"Retreat from the ......"
Fu Hai announced his resignation and helped the emperor to leave the hall.
The emperor did not hesitate for a moment, did not have any reluctance, and left this position that had trapped him for more than 20 years with a smile, and at this moment, he felt that his heart was truly at peace.
There is no need to correct those twists and turns day and night, no longer have to protect every step of the way, no longer have to watch the people below in this hall pretend to be flattered, and no longer have to live in a conspiracy with intrigue.
Really, great......
After retiring from the dynasty, Yun Zhen came to the Tonghe Hall with the holy decree.
"Queen Mother, the prince is here."
As soon as she heard this, the Queen Mother almost jumped up from the incense couch. She took a few steps to the door of the main hall and watched Yun Zhen walk towards her step by step.
"How?"
Although his father had told himself the emperor's plan, the will had not yet arrived, and those so-called promises could be counted.
"It's finished."
Yun Zhen replied softly.
The Queen Mother didn't say much, she only took the will to look at it, and after reading it a few times, she really put it down, and when she came back to her senses, Yun Zhen had already walked into the hall and leaned down on a soft couch.
"What's wrong? What's uncomfortable? ”
Only then did the Queen Mother realize that Yun Zhen's face was full of exhaustion, and she couldn't help but worry.
"Go, hurry up and announce the Imperial Doctor."
"I don't have to, I'm just a little tired. Queen Mother, let them retreat first, this king wants to stay quietly with you for a while. ”
The queen mother listened to her son's words, nodded, and then retreated from all the palace maids and eunuchs, and in the entire main hall, only their mother and son were left.
"Don't you really need Imperial Doctor Xuan to come and take a look?" The Queen Mother asked.
Yun Zhen closed her eyes and shook her head.
"I just feel tired and want to take a break."
Seeing Yun Zhen's weak appearance, the Queen Mother slowly sat beside him, gently fanning him, and accompanying him.
"Mother......
Yun Zhen said suddenly.
The Queen Mother was stunned, how many years have she not heard her son call herself like this? I don't remember clearly, but it's been about ten years!
"What's wrong?"
Yun Zhen was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Today, after receiving this will, I suddenly have a feeling. For so many years, it is not that we have been calculating the emperor, but that he has been calculating us. ”
"Why do you say that?"
"Yesterday, Uncle Huang and I went to the Imperial Garden, and he said that he knew what we had done over the years. It's not scary, but what scares me is that he doesn't just know, he allows us to do it, and even allows us to do it at some point. Until finally, when we wanted to use everything we had accumulated over the years to defeat him, he only used this fluttering will of paper to make all our efforts a joke without much effort. ”
Yun Zhen said and stopped.
After a while, he sneered twice, "I've always wanted to be a manipulator, but in the end, I became the laughing stock of the puppet." Mother, this kind of frustration is really too shameful! ”
The Queen Mother listened to Yun Zhen's words, and her heart was also very uncomfortable, but she still comforted: "It's okay, as long as the goal is achieved, it's good." After all, we're the winners. ”
"The winner? Hum...... What did I win? Yun Zhen finally opened her eyes, looked at her mother, and asked, "Won what was originally her own?" What's there to be happy about? I really don't know what all these years of calculations and planning are......"
……
The first thing Zuo Liang did when he got off the court was to rush to his father and tell his father what was going on in the court today.
I thought that my father would be extremely surprised when he heard it, but I didn't expect that Zuo Junzhong just said "um".
"You...... Know this? ”
"What's the matter?"
"The emperor is preparing for the Zen throne."
"Yes."
"When?"
"Before the emperor fell ill."
"Then you ......"
"At that time, the emperor just said that there was such a plan, and did not mention when, besides, the affairs of the heavenly family, can we talk about it after we take it home and are full of wine and food?"
Zuo Liang was reprimanded by his father twice and closed his mouth.
"Since the emperor is coming to court, then the old man will enter the palace today. The resignation fold has also been put away for a few days, and I hurriedly handed it over while the emperor was still the emperor, so as not to make a mistake in the future. ”
"Will it be ...... at this time?"
"There's no better time than this time."
"That'...... Son I ......"
"I understand your thoughts, and my father will help you make it clear in front of the emperor. I believe that the emperor will not embarrass you, but your father-in-law doesn't know what to think after knowing it. ”
"It doesn't matter what he thinks, the important thing is that Wenxi doesn't want me to be here anymore. It's not good to get a job and go to a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. ”
Zuo Junzhong smiled and nodded, and then ordered his subordinates to change their clothes and prepare their horses, and went out of the house.
But just after his father went out, Zuo Liang suddenly remembered a more important thing and didn't ask his father: What should He Xuan do!
When He Xuan was involved, he was not around, but he only heard about it later, and now he only knows that people are locked in prisons, but there is no follow-up. Zuo Liang inquired around, but he didn't find out that anyone had interrogated He Xuan, and he also thought about visiting, but he was stopped outside the prison gate.
Right now, this country is about to change hands, so what will happen to He Xuan, who is still locked up in the prison?
Zuo Liang wanted to catch up with his father, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by someone.
"Where to go! It's like losing your soul! ”
Zuo Liang was stunned for a moment, and found that it was Liao Yong who was standing behind him.
"When did you come back?"
"Came back the day before yesterday. What, do you have something to go out? ”
Zuo Liang just wanted to speak, but then he thought that Liao Yong didn't know about He Xuan's arrest, so he hurriedly stopped.
"It's nothing, I just want to go out for a walk!"
"Going out in court clothes?"
"Didn't you just want to change your clothes, but you stopped me!"
"Then go and change your clothes, I'll wait for you, go to my house."
Zuo Liang smiled and nodded, turned around and went in to change clothes. When he turned around, he peeked at Liao Yong, looking at him, Zuo Liang really couldn't bear it, but when would he be considered a head to lie to him like this?
