Chapter 188 Catch the thief
In the imperial study, the smell of blood was pungent, and Wei Shilang had just been alive, but he was already dying on the cold ground at this time, his robe was stained red with blood, and his body finally stared after a brief convulsion, unwilling to accompany the Southern Qin Emperor to leave forever.
Other countries?
Such a grandiose excuse is also up to Mo Yiyan to think of, but the strange scene in front of him can no longer make people say anything against it, in comparison, life has long been greater than everything.
The scene in front of him made several ministers lower their eyebrows and pretend not to see it, but Mo Yiyan didn't plan to let a few people go, letting the bright red blood stains bloom weird flowers on the plain clothes, Mo Yiyan turned around abruptly, and the ruthlessness she exuded was terrifying, and it made people secretly slander, never thought that the seemingly dignified and skilled queen mother in the past was such a ruthless character.
In the face of Mo Yiyan's questioning, the ministers in the imperial study ordered to kowtow to Wei Chisheng: "The ministers implore His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to succeed to the throne!" ”
Prince Sheng's eyes were not shocked, even though his heart was already surging, he still showed sad emotions, and slowly spoke: "Ministers, please calm down, since Zhong Aiqing insists on this, then the prince has no choice but to comply with the will of heaven." In addition, in order to commemorate the first emperor, do not change the name of the country, and everything is simple. ”
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
The ministers hurriedly kowtowed and spoke in unison, and at this moment, Prince Sheng's heart was satisfied like never before.
"Emperor Qi, Ye Lingzhi is asking to see you outside the palace!"
At this moment, the little father-in-law, who was a little young who walked in from outside the door, remembered that he had just heard the voice inside the door, and changed his words in a sleek manner, and said to Yu Chisheng respectfully.
Chi Sheng nodded, and when he heard Ye Yushan outside the door, his face seemed to reveal respect, and he hurriedly spoke: "Please!" ”
When the little father-in-law heard this, he retreated, and Wei Chisheng turned to several ministers and said, "The hour is not early, and the Aiqing will also disperse!" Tomorrow's enthronement ceremony will also have Lao Zhong's Aiqing! ”
"It is the blessing of the ministers to serve the emperor, and the ministers retire!"
As he spoke, the ministers took a few steps back and walked briskly towards the outside of the imperial study.
When he walked to the door, he happened to meet Ye Yushan who walked in, several people saluted each other, Ye Yushan walked in, the smell of blood made Ye Yushan suddenly raise his vigilance, when he saw Wei Shilang lying on the ground with big eyes, Ye Yushan looked stunned, but walked quickly to Yu Chisheng, bowed and saluted: "Knock on His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know if the ministers are summoned here late at night, what is the urgency of His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
Ye Yushan, who was waiting outside the door just now, clearly heard the sound of the ministers bowing in the imperial study, and finally understood the reason when he saw the body of Wei Shilang at this time?
As early as hearing De Zhengye talk about Mo Yiyan's oracle and passing the throne to the crown prince, Ye Yushan was puzzled, Emperor Nanqin obviously intended to pass the throne to Yu Chi Jingyao before his death, which was also shown more than once in front of Ye Yushan, if it weren't for Yu Chi Jingyao's attitude has been resolute, I'm afraid the position of the prince would not be the turn of Wei Chi Sheng.
If it weren't for the accident or danger, how could the Southern Qin Emperor change his mind? Passing the throne to the crown prince? Thinking of this, Ye Yushan suddenly became suspicious of the cause of the death of the Southern Qin Emperor.
"His Royal Highness the Prince? Hmph, I'm afraid that from tomorrow onwards, Ye Lingzhi will change his name and call him the emperor! ”
Mo Yiyan, who was sitting on the soft couch, flashed dissatisfaction in her eyes after hearing Ye Yushan's name, and she had never glanced at Ye Yushan from beginning to end.
"It's okay, my uncle doesn't know that my father has passed the throne to me, so I don't need to mind!"
Wei Chisheng didn't care about this, but opened his mouth to defend Ye Yushan.
"The minister is rude, please don't blame the emperor!"
Ye Yushan took the opportunity to speak again, but he wondered in his heart what was the meaning of Yu Chisheng calling him into the palace at this time?
I saw that Wei Chisheng quickly got up, walked to Ye Yushan's side, personally helped Ye Yushan up, and said slowly: "It's all a family, uncle, don't be polite." I entered the palace late at night because I asked for a moment, although the incident happened suddenly, but I had to prepare in advance. I ask my uncle to protect my father's safe burial in the imperial mausoleum, and the safety of this road will be handed over to others, and I can't feel at ease. There are also some concubines guarding the mausoleum, I don't know if my uncle is willing? ”
"It is the duty of a minister to share worries for the emperor, how can you be unwilling?"
Ye Yushan bowed slightly and replied.
"It's so good, I'll leave in three days, I've been tired all the way, and I've worked hard!"
After getting Ye Yushan's answer, Yu Chisheng nodded with satisfaction, but Ye Yushan didn't see a trace of cunning flashing in Yu Chisheng's eyes.
With the departure of Ye Yushan, only Yu Chisheng and Mo Yiyan were left in the imperial study, Wei Shilang's body had already been disposed of, Yu Chisheng was sitting in the position that originally belonged to the Southern Qin Emperor, Mo Yiyan was still sitting on the soft couch, and he had long since lost his sad appearance, and was comfortably tasting the fragrance of tea.
"You deliberately split Ye Yushan for Ye Wanruo's sake, right?"
After being silent for a long time, Mo Yiyan spoke slowly, unabashedly pointing out Wei Chisheng's intentions.
In this regard, Wei Chisheng did not answer, it seemed to be a tacit attitude, Mo Yiyan couldn't help but speak again: "You like Ye Wanruo, I won't stop her, she can be any concubine in your harem, but she can't be the queen!" ”
"Why?"
Wei Chisheng asked coldly.
"The princess's mansion is in charge of military power, if Ye Wan becomes the queen, do you want to end up with your father one day? I wouldn't agree anyway! You must know that I won this throne for you, and it is up to me to decide who the queen will be! Otherwise, I can support you, or I can support anyone to get to the top! ”
Mo Yiyan's words made Wei Chi Sheng's eyes suddenly appear cold, although it was fleeting, the gloom between his eyebrows was still there, his fists were clenched, and his green tendons were exposed, as if he was venting his inner dissatisfaction at this time.
"Besides, Concubine Hui, that slut, I'm going to clean her up myself! If the palace is tired, go back to rest first, tomorrow is the emperor's registration ceremony, so rest early! The government affairs of the DPRK and China are busy, and the affairs of the harem will be decided by the main palace, the mother! ”
As she spoke, Mo Yiyan slowly got up and walked towards the outside of the imperial study with the support of Mama Gui.
At the same time as Mo Yiyan left, Wei Chi Sheng's cold eyes were fully revealed, and he waved away the items on the table, making a loud noise, but it was not enough to vent his inner dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty...."
The little eunuch outside the door hurriedly walked in after hearing the noise in the house, and when he saw the mess clearly, his eyebrows were full of worry.
"Get out of here, get out of here..."
Yu Chisheng grabbed the inkstone beside him, raised his hand and threw it at the feet of the little eunuch, roaring hoarsely.
The little eunuch didn't dare to hesitate any longer, for fear of hurting himself by mistake, so he hurriedly retreated and left.
At this time, Wei Chisheng was already on the verge of rage, and Mo Yiyan's words without the slightest emotion and threatening echoed in his ears: "You must know that I fought for this throne for you, and the choice of the queen should also be decided by me!" Otherwise, I can support you, or I can support anyone to get to the top! ”
"There will come a day when I, Wei Chi Sheng, will rely on my own ability to sit in this position!"
Wei Chisheng gritted his teeth and spit out a sentence, his eyes seemed to remember something, he returned to nature in an instant, walked out, and commanded the little eunuch guarding the door: "Clean up the imperial study for me!" ”
At this point, the blood relationship between mother and son has also broken off, and an emotional struggle between mother and son has begun to be staged.
※※※
The next day, the new emperor ascended the throne, ordered the whole country to mourn in January, the second prince Wei Chi Xian went to the imperial mausoleum to serve filial piety for three years, except for the new emperor, everyone was dressed in white filial piety and mourning, within one month, there was no drum music and dance music inside and outside the palace.
The concubines of the Southern Qin Emperor, except for a few favored concubines who stayed in the palace, a few people were buried together with the Southern Qin Emperor, some went to guard the emperor's mausoleum, and some were sent to the temple to lead the practice, no longer contaminated with the world.
At this time, the princess's mansion was full of Praetorian guards stationed inside and outside, all of them expressionless, like a puppet.
Even if Ye Wanruo was reluctant in her heart, she had no choice but to treat them as if they didn't exist. Since this morning, the originally clear sky has been closed with dark clouds in the blink of an eye, and a light rain has fallen in the blink of an eye.
As if the heavens were crying for the death of Emperor Nanqin, Ye Wanruo was sitting in front of the window at this time, looking at the weather outside as if she was in a mood at this time, and she was stunned alone.
Originally, Mo Yiyan had no possibility of turning over after experiencing the last accident, but she didn't expect that the death of Emperor Nanqin would reverse the situation in front of her.
Fortunately, Jing Yao is not in Beijing at this time, but how long can he escape? I don't know where Father-in-law De and Qiuqiu have gone? Did you meet up with Jing Yao? Even if Jing Yao never thought of fighting for imperial power, could Wei Chi Sheng let him go? And Yifei, I don't know if it's safe at this time? It's just that even she herself may not be able to get out.
"Miss, no, Miss...."
Listening to the rain pavilion, Yingxiang's eager voice sounded again, Ye Wanruo subconsciously stood up, and secretly prayed in her heart that this matter would not be related to Yu Chi Jingyao.
Thinking about it, I saw Yingxiang running in from outside, although it was raining outside, but Yingxiang didn't even have an umbrella, which was enough to see the seriousness of the matter.
"What the hell is going on?"
Ye Wanruo held her breath, her heart seemed to stop beating for a moment, and even she couldn't hear what she said clearly.
Ying Xiang ran to the room panting, completely ignoring the wet dress, and just wanted to speak, but after seeing Ye Wanruo's expression, Ying Xiang's eyes flashed unbearable, but he still answered truthfully: "There is news from the palace, saying that the Holy Lord quickly gathered troops to return to Beijing after hearing the news of the death of the first emperor, and continued to expand his team along the way, which seems to be an intention to rebel." I also heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, oh no, it's the emperor.... After hearing the news, he was furious, and immediately ordered Zhao to lead his troops to arrest the prince, and demote him to a concubine, send him to the frontier, and not return to Beijing for life. ”
With this shocking news in her ears, Ye Wanruo only felt that her breath was suffocating, and her body fell to the ground uncontrollably.
"Miss.... Miss...."
Before losing consciousness, Ye Wanruo only vaguely heard the sound of Yingxiang's exclamation in her ears, and then she didn't know anything, and then tears fell unconsciously from the corners of her eyes....
