Chapter Eighty-Five: The Great Rebellion

Xuanyuan Yaohui's days were miserable, although the deputy prime minister Wang and the Rong Taifu handled the government in an orderly manner, and when Xuanyuan Yaohui came to the Qingxin Palace every day to return to the palace, he only needed to nod his head and answer the sound. But Xuanyuan Yaohui was anxious every day, and he counted the days almost every day. Imagine a good big man, who is forced to be tied to the bed every day and unable to move, the torment is indeed unbearable.

There are also harem concubines and beauties who came to ask for peace, but they were all invited back by Xiao Lizi one by one on the grounds that the emperor wanted to recuperate. Among them, the ten thousand concubines came the most diligently, and they had to come here almost every other day, even if they were not received, they still persevered. Sometimes Xuanyuan Yaohui was in a hurry, so he had a bad idea in his heart, if he announced a beauty to come over and accompany him for a long time, anyway, there are many Murong Yan women, Murong Yan doesn't want it, just drive out of the palace, and let that Yan Yue have fewer competitors after she comes back.

It's just that Xuanyuan Yaohui's bad idea hasn't been implemented yet, and the bad thing came first.

Every morning after the dynasty, it is the time when the deputy prime minister Wang and Taifu Rong go to the Qingxin Hall to return to the government, and Xuanyuan Yaoyao Yaohui has already waited for the two of them with a fold in his hand, but today this time there are a few more people behind the deputy prime minister and Rong Taifu, there are the military department and the Ministry of Rites, which has been Xuanyuan Yaohui surprised, and behind them there are two people, two people who make Xuanyuan Yaohui vigilant and panicked, they are actually the squire Lord Yang Zhifang and General Yan Wenzhong.

Xuanyuan Yaohui's first feeling when he saw Yang Zhifang and Yan Wenzhong was that Murong Yan secretly left the palace this time, and it was impossible for him to summon them back to the palace as the emperor. Even if Murong Yan summoned them back to the palace, he would definitely let these two people come to inform him privately. On the contrary, if there is no call from the emperor, it would be disrespectful for these two people to return to Darong! Thinking of this, as soon as the two of them knelt down, Xuanyuan Yaohui threw the fold in his hand towards the two without saying a word.

"The minister is afraid, the minister is guilty, and the emperor is angry!" The two of them were smashed on the head, and they didn't dare to look up, but they just knelt and kept kowtowing to plead guilty. However, Mrs. Rong hurriedly knelt down and replied: "The emperor is angry, Yang Shilang and General Yan have been derelict in their duties this time, and the emperor has allowed them to make meritorious contributions, and they will be punished after their performance." And this time, they were not allowed to summon to return to Beijing without permission, but they brought back an important piece of news. ”

Yang Zhifang raised his head nervously, and saw that the emperor was sinking like water, and immediately took out a letter from his arms tremblingly. While handing it to the little plum who was guarding on the side, he replied in a low voice: "There is news from the Cangmu Kingdom, saying that my Emperor of the Darong Dynasty has become a prisoner of their subordinates, and requires the Darong Dynasty to either exchange five cities for the emperor, or from now on to the Cangmu Kingdom as a vassal, and pay tribute to the Cangmu Kingdom every year. Otherwise, the emperor of my Darong Dynasty will always be a prisoner of his Cangmu country. ”

It's just that this time without waiting for Yang Zhifang to finish speaking, the fold in the emperor's hand flew towards Yang Zhifang's head again, and the emperor's voice changed in anger: "Get out, get out of here!" ”

Vice Minister Wang was also annoyed, and immediately stepped forward and replied: "The emperor is angry, that Cangmu country has kidnapped the princess and broken the contract before, and the existing rumors are spreading rumors to slander my Darong Emperor is behind, such a shame and humiliation, my Darong Dynasty has never done it before, please make a decision and deal with it quickly!" ”

The secretary of the military department and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites also echoed the voice, but the emperor on the dragon couch beckoned gently, and Xiao Lizi hurriedly handed the letter presented by Yang Zhifang to the emperor. Slowly opened it and looked at it carefully, this time the emperor got up angrily and wanted to get out of bed, but because he got up too violently, he only heard what seemed to be the crisp sound of bones, and the emperor immediately turned pale in pain.

Xiao Lizi quickly stepped forward to serve, but saw that the emperor's face had turned pale, and immediately shouted in a trembling voice: "Quick, quick, Master Xuanhua." Everyone in the room looked at each other, they couldn't imagine that the emperor's injury was so serious, no wonder Master Hua repeatedly explained that he had to lie down and recuperate, and he couldn't move. The sound of bones breaking just now really shocked everyone!

Master Hua came in a hurry, and everyone hurriedly withdrew from the room, waiting for half an hour before being called again by Xiao Lizi. And the emperor was already leaning weakly on the bed, frowning, his face was pale, and when he saw everyone entering the room, he was so angry that his face changed again and said: "General Yan Wenzhong, Yang Zhifang's servant, don't wait for the summons to return to Rong privately, read that there is a reason first, put him in prison, think about it for half a month, and execute it immediately." With just this sentence, everyone's faces had changed color, and Yan Wenzhong and Yang Zhifang hurriedly knelt down to receive the punishment.

And the Taifu Rong Shengren asked for instructions when the emperor's voice just fell: "Your Majesty, how to reply to the letter of Cangmu Kingdom, the minister listened to what Yang Shilang said just now, the matter of Cangmu State's letter has been widely spread on the border between Cangmu State and my Darong Dynasty, and many people have heard that the emperor of my Darong Dynasty was captured, and now the border is already panicked, and I ask the emperor to make a decision as soon as possible." ”

"Immediately prepare a reply, Cang Muguo first kidnapped the princess, tore up the marriage contract, and then spread rumors to make trouble, disturbing my people's hearts. He is limited to return my princess within a month and apologize, otherwise I will personally lead the army and set foot on the cangmu! The emperor's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his eyes flashed with anger. Vice Minister Wang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and others immediately raised their momentum and echoed in unison.

The crowd was so busy that it didn't disperse until lunchtime. When only Xuanyuan Yaohui and Master Hua were left in the Qingxin Palace, Xuanyuan Yaohui wiped the sweat from his face in a faux puff and asked nervously: "Master Hua, what if what Cangmu Guo's letter said is true?" What about the emperor's safety? ”

Master Hua looked calm, looked at Xuanyuan Yaohui for a long time before he said slowly: "The emperor has already arranged this matter, so there is no need to ask again." But the time has come to test you, what if Lord Taifu or Lord Prime Minister doesn't believe you and finds a way to test you? Master Hua's words made Xuanyuan Yaohui confused, and stared at Master Hua for a long time without knowing how to speak. Master Hua's words paused for a moment, then stared at Xuanyuan Yaohui and said slowly: "There are some things, and the old man can't help, but you can remember one thing, the emperor's news in Cangmu Country can't be leaked for half a minute no matter what." ”

Not to mention that Xuanyuan Yaohui here was uneasy, and the departed Vice Minister Wang and Rong Taifu did not leave the palace, but returned to the Qinzheng Palace. Since the emperor's leg was fractured, the vice minister and the prince Rong have been handling government affairs in the Qinzheng Palace, and the palace people have long been accustomed to it. It's just that it's rare to stay in the palace to discuss government affairs at this hour.

"I don't know what Mrs. Rong wants to say?" Vice Minister Wang was also confused.

"The old man heard that since the emperor's leg was injured, he has never summoned any mother. I wonder if the vice-minister has heard about it? Mrs. Rong asked seriously.

"The old man also heard those minions mention that the harem ladies went to visit, but they were all blocked by the emperor and not allowed to see them. However, this is reasonable, Master Hua has been telling the emperor that his leg injury needs to be recuperated, and you have seen today's events, and the emperor just moved the wound again when he was excited. Vice Minister Wang said slowly, but his expression was a little puzzled when he spoke, and he didn't understand what Mrs. Rong was doing when he mentioned this matter at this time.

"The old man doesn't tell lies in front of him, the vice minister can contact Cang Muguo's letter to think about it, and then think about the emperor suddenly not being close to women at all, isn't it a little strange. Other Niangniang is fine, the daughter of the Vice Prime Minister, Li Concubine Niangniang, is now pregnant with a dragon fetus, how did the emperor know about this that day, the Vice Minister also knows, why is it ...... now" Rong Taifu's words paused, two small eyes flashed with a strange light staring at the Wang Vice Minister, under the gaze of Rong Taifu, Wang Vice Minister blurted out: "Lord Taifu, do you suspect that the current emperor is fake, and the real emperor has not been out of the palace?" ”

In response to Vice Minister Wang, Mrs. Rong's unfathomable smile and faint words said: "The old man just thinks that Cang Muguo's letter will never come out of nowhere, not to mention that the emperor's performance today is also a little strange, didn't the Vice Minister notice?" ”

Vice Minister Wang was still at a loss, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head helplessly, because Vice Minister Wang really didn't notice anything strange. Mrs. Rong waited for a long time and didn't see anything found by Vice Minister Wang, so he reminded with some disappointment: "The emperor's injury has been nearly a month, even if his leg is broken and he gets up violently, can the bone be broken again?" Vice Minister Wang also underestimated Master Hua's medical skills, but the old man heard that even if it is a dog, Master Hua can make its leg break within a month and then connect it; Second, even if the wound is broken, when you enter the hall again, have you ever seen Master Hua treating the wound? At that time, the old man took a closer look at Master Hua, he did not bring a medical box when he entered the hall, and he did not have any medical tools in his hand; Third, since the emperor's leg was fractured, does the vice-minister know how the meal has changed? ”

When Vice Minister Wang shook his head blankly again, Mrs. Rong continued: "There is wine for three meals a day. Don't forget, the vice minister, the emperor didn't like to drink before, some time ago because of Yan Shuyuan and his relatives for many days, since he learned that Concubine Li was pregnant, he quit drinking, but now he must drink three meals, this habit is not overnight. ”

Vice Minister Wang was completely stunned by what Mrs. Rong said, stared at Mrs. Rong in a daze, and didn't completely digest Mrs. Rong's words for a long time, but just asked stupidly: "If the emperor of the Qingxin Palace is fake, then what is good?" Mrs. Rong smiled faintly and said slowly: "You and I are the emperor's most trusted ministers in the court, and if the emperor entrusts you and me with such a major matter as handling the court, we will not be entrusted by the emperor." What's more, if the real emperor is lost, we must also prepare early, especially you, the vice minister! ”

Prepare early! This sentence was like a pebble thrown into the calm lake water, stirring up layers of waves in Vice Prime Minister Wang's heart. If it is really the emperor who has an accident and there is chaos, what will happen then! Now the emperor has no brothers, no children and nephews, and the only heir is still in the womb of his daughter. That Mrs. Rong is right, you should have prepared early.

After Mrs. Rong left, Vice Prime Minister Wang's footsteps walked towards the Ying Yue Xuan.
