，

The moonlight seemed to be covered by a layer of hoarfrost, and it was hazy and unreal. Deep, shallow clouds cast shadows around the palace, and the snow-white gardenias were about to fall, leaving only the lush leaves of a tree. The window lattice in the Heart Cultivation Hall is closed, and there are countless figures standing faintly outside, guarding His Majesty the most noble emperor in Da'an.

The twenty-six-year-old emperor Yang Shen, who has been on the throne for ten years, has been shrouded in the shadow of the empress dowager. He lay on the couch, only to feel that everything around him had become blurry, and there seemed to be a thick fog in the spiritual platform that was constantly enveloping him, and those curved and soft black qi slowly seeped into his body, making him weak. He didn't know where he was, but he could hear the anxious call of the waiter, but he just couldn't open his eyes, and his eyelids weighed as much as a thousand pounds and couldn't move a bit.

The news that the emperor was in a coma again spread all the way to Shoukun Palace, and the queen mother walked through the shadowy cornices corridor, regardless of the fact that her dress was stained with flying flower dew, and rushed into the inner hall: "How is the emperor?" ”

The emperor was lying on the couch with a gloomy face, Li Zhonghan walked to the Queen Mother and whispered a few words in her ear, and the Queen Mother did not move, just looked at the half-dead emperor like that, the corners of her lips were tightly pursed downward, and a gloomy anger emanated from her whole body. "Could it be that the emperor who has been supported by the mourning family for many years is a fish and meat that can be slaughtered!"

As soon as these words came out, all the attendants in the inner sanctum fell to the ground tremblingly. The sweat in Li Zhonghan's head flowed straight to his neck, something happened to the emperor, and he was the first to bear the brunt! "Returning to the Empress Dowager, the slave has been guarding the emperor inch by inch, and everything in the mouth is only when the slave has tasted it before he dares to give it to the emperor. The slave doesn't know why the emperor's condition has worsened......"

Jinyu, who was often accompanied by the Queen Mother, said: "The Queen Mother, the emperor's illness may not be caused by external forces, and the emperor's illness was unpredictable......"

At the mention of the former emperor, the queen mother's face became darker, she had known the former emperor since she was a girl, and admired each other since he had not yet ascended the throne. Everything around him was seen by her and remembered by her. No one will know, nor will they believe that she has a deep love for the emperor, but no matter how much she pays, she will never be able to defeat that woman. Whether that woman is alive or dead, she is a barrier between her and the former emperor, which cannot be broken or overcome! And now, that woman's son, have to deal with her! Snatch the country with her son!

She looked at the motionless emperor on the couch, and suddenly ordered: "Prince Xuanduan enters the palace." ”

The former emperor's condition, if anyone knows more than the queen mother, it can only be the emperor's most trusted brother Duan Wangye.

King Duan entered the palace late at night, and there were more than one or two people who were alarmed, but no one dared to go to King Duan's place to investigate.

King Duan entered the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, looked at the Queen Mother meaningfully, and said: "Over the years, the emperor has been under the nose of the Queen Mother day and night, presumably you are familiar with the emperor's physical condition. ”

The queen mother knew that the other party was sarcastically seizing power and interfering in politics, but she did not have the slightest anger, and said: "It was Su Guifei who induced the illness of the former emperor back then. Now, the emperor suddenly got this disease, I don't know what the prince thinks about this matter? ”

King Duan glanced at the Queen Mother with deep eyes, as if he didn't expect her to talk about Concubine Su so bluntly. He said: "The emperor was too sad because of the death of Concubine Su, but I don't know what could make the emperor worry day and night, and suddenly induce this disease? ”

The Queen Mother frowned slightly, the emperor suddenly fell ill that day, because of the temptation and dispute between the two in the Shoukun Palace, could it be that what he did really made the emperor mind this?

Outside, there was a thunderclap and a thunderbolt, and the torrential rain suddenly fell from the sky, overwhelming the sky. King Duan looked at the Queen Mother who was frowning in front of him, and fell into deep memories.

That year, it was vaguely June. The woman with a delicate and graceful face, after six years of disappearance, was summoned to the palace with exhaustion and dust.

Su Ran, the woman who made the emperor most concerned, came back.

The sky and clouds and shadows hovered in the glass world, clear and bright. King Duan will never forget that he stood behind the emperor and watched the woman slowly walk towards them, the warm light of the setting sun shining on her face, adding a hint of crimson. She slowly walked to her holding the token given to her by the emperor back then, and the faint smile in her eyes was dyed by the purple and gold glow like a dream.

At that time, the former emperor was still a young emperor who had just ascended to the throne, and in such a chaotic situation, the joy of reunion made him care about nothing else, and he did not hesitate to keep her by his side and canonize her as a concubine.

That is the day when King Duan knew that the pure land in his heart would become barren.

And the Queen Mother was also on that day, knowing that she and the man she loved had been forever separated into light and shadow by this woman. Between her and his, there was a space that could never be broken. However, in the end, he still survived in the gap of the battle, and Su Ran died.

She thought that when Su Ran died, the emperor would turn around and leave some residual warmth for her, but she didn't expect it. The first emperor actually became ill with pain and contracted an incurable disease.

Only then did she understand how she could fight for a dead man? When a person dies, he will leave a Jedi in the other person's heart, no one can set foot on it, and no one can surpass it. No matter how much effort he put in and how much companionship he put in, he couldn't cross the high wall that Su Ran had built in the heart of the former emperor.

The sound of the rain gradually subsided, a few remnant stars hid behind the clouds, and the dim palace lanterns could only be photographed for a moment. The two were silent for a long time, and the Queen Mother's face suddenly calmed down, and she said in a low voice: "I don't know when the emperor's body will recover, and I ask the prince to take care of the government on his behalf during this time." ”

King Duan seemed surprised and said, "It's hard for the Queen Mother to let go." ”

"What if you don't let go? The emperor is the son of the mourning family, without him, what can the mourning family catch? She turned her eyes to look at the emperor on the couch, her eyes were complicated, and she said: "Since the emperor cares so much, the mourning family no longer cares about political affairs." ”

……

On the second day, the emperor did not appear, and the important ministers had some eyebrows in their hearts, and they all looked behind the queen. The Queen Mother lowered her eyes and was silent, and King Duan said: "The emperor has been in poor health recently, and he needs to be raised for a while. ”

The officials looked at each other for a while, and they all understood the meaning of these words, and their faces showed joy, and it was much better than the queen mother to manage the government on behalf of the prince, at least there was no need to be in a dilemma, and they immediately echoed it. After getting off the court, everyone was guessing all the way out of the hall. King Duan stepped out of the hall with his hands behind his back and strode out of the hall steadily, and an official behind him chased after him and asked, "Lord, how is the emperor's body?" ”

Corporal Duanwang Lixian is a humble and approachable person, and has a very high evaluation and status in the hearts of everyone. When everyone around heard someone asking, they immediately hula and cheered around. After all, everyone knows about the emperor's illness, for fear that the emperor will have something bad for a while. King Duan glanced at everyone and sighed meaningfully. said: "No matter what, the emperor also has several princes, and he should always be good at teaching." ”

Someone around gasped, what does that mean? Is it to make a prince early? But Duanwang's words were so ambiguous that everyone didn't dare to talk for a while.

The balance between the two kings and the four valves has long been broken, at this time there is a gap between the queen mother and the emperor's mother and son, and the eldest princess of the king of Du moves back to Hongyang seems to be making waves, the balance is shifted to the left and right, and there is no fixed number of forces divided and combined, and the only one who can still stabilize is Duanwang. Therefore, when King Duan mentioned a few princes at this time, he had to make people think deeply.

However, at this time, the three princes of the emperor were either too young, or they were from humble backgrounds and did not become great. Everyone exchanged a look, and their eyes were silent.

Duan Wang returned to the mansion, and Yan Hong was already standing in the flower hall waiting. "Lord Wang."

"What's the matter with coming to me in such a hurry?"

Yan Hong's face suddenly trembled, and he raised his eyes to look at the man in his fifties in front of him, this man who had been hidden in the Da'an Dynasty for decades, fine beads of sweat oozed from the wings of his nose. "There's news from Yasukuni. Emperor Guangwu split the two armies in the southwest, each with one-third to form the Gyeonggi Army, and also dispatched 100 people to guard the four princes under the guard division and the palace front division, I don't know what will happen later. ”

King Duan pondered for a moment and said: "The western army and the southern army each occupy half, it is impossible for the two sides to form a group so quickly, and before the war, I am afraid that there will be chaos, and Emperor Guangwu does not know whether it is a good move or a bad move, and the four princes will suffer if they can't keep it." The front division of the palace and the guard division are in charge of the forbidden army, and the front division of the palace is now in the hands of the third princess? ”

At the mention of the third princess, Yan Hong's eyebrows flickered, and he lowered his head and replied, "Yes." The front division of the palace was originally the commander of Fu Wei, but something happened halfway. Moreover, whether it is the Southwest Second Army or the Forbidden Army of the Guards Division, the part that has been transferred must be supplemented. It's hard to say who these people are. ”

King Duan closed his eyes, as if in a dream: "What does that mean, the time has come?" ”

Yan Hong lowered his head: "Yasukuni is in turmoil, and Baimeng will inevitably wait for the opportunity to move, if you can take the opportunity to win Da'an, the odds of victory are self-evident." ”

"In that case, the place in the palace that should be moved should be moved."

Yan Hong's eyelids drooped deeply, "Yes." ”

On the second day, the guard of honor of the eldest princess of Hongyang finally entered the capital, and the streets on both sides were full of lively people, talking about the rumors of recent days. Yang Zheng is undoubtedly the center of public opinion, but he is on the back of the horse in front, his back is straight, his eyes are not squinting, and he is not affected by the slightest.

The surrounding chatter stopped unconsciously, did such speculation desecrate the man in front of him?
