The emperor will come to the Apricot Blossom Villa to watch the apricot blossoms every mid-March, and only with his entourage, the concubines, sons and daughters are not allowed to follow, the emperor himself explained: "I like apricot blossoms since I was a child, mainly recalling the apricot tree planted in the palace of the mother, I hope to be able to recall the warmth of my mother alone." ”

Specially built a mountain villa, named Apricot Blossom Villa, the villa is full of apricot trees, every early March is the apricot blossom just beginning to open, the apricot blossom when it is in full bloom, the glamorous and delicate, the flowers are beautiful, the rouge is ten thousand points, and the spring breeze is occupied. In the spring, the red clouds are blooming, which is very spectacular and moving.

As the petals stretch, the color gradually turns from thick to light, and it is planted alone by the pool, forming an antique reflection in the water, which is endlessly interesting. At the end of April, when the apricot blossoms withered, the snow was white, and it was really like a night of spring breeze, and the frost in the courtyard of Wanting was white.

A spring water surrounds the flower body, and the flower shadow is enchanting. Even though it is blown into snow by the spring breeze, it is better than Nanmo to crush into dust.

However, this year's spring outing is a bit unusual.

Spring rain, everyone thinks that it is sneaking into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently, but this year's spring rain is particularly fierce, like a beast rushing out of the cage.

On this day, the emperor is enjoying the flowers in the lake, the pavilion in the center of the lake is a little, all around are the blooming apricot blossoms, plus the clear water around the apricot trees, the flowers on the shore, the flower shadows in the water, each showing its own beauty.

But the sky is not beautiful, at the beginning the weather is still sunny, birds are singing, flowers are blooming, but suddenly lightning and thunder, pouring rain followed, although the lake pavilion can shelter from the rain, but the place is too small, after all, it can't withstand the pouring rain, or let the emperor be infected with the wind cold.

It doesn't matter if you're sick, but if you don't get better for a long time, and if you stay sick, it's not normal. Because of this spring rain, it seems that all the emperor's other illnesses have been triggered, which suddenly caught the imperial doctor off guard, and also made the atmosphere of the court change greatly.

Everyone has their own careful thoughts, Shangguan Qian, Shangguan Yu and Shangguan Ling all have eyeliner in the palace, and when they learned that the emperor was indeed very sick, they also began to plan their own layout, or some things have been prepared for a long time, just waiting for this opportunity.

In the palace of King Yu

Su Muwan was very surprised when she heard the news, although she didn't understand the power dispute, but she also knew that this time was the time when all parties were fighting for power, and it all depended on the creation of the deer.

"I hope you're doing." Su Muwan hugged Shangguan Yu, she knew that Shangguan Yu had to get involved in this struggle.

Shangguan Yu saw that Su Muwan's eyes were full of worry, gently scratched her nose, and said dotingly: "Don't worry, I still want you to give me a few big fat boys!" ”

"I'm not ashamed!" Su Muwan slapped Shangguan Yu, but she still couldn't hide the smile in the corner of her eyes.

Seeing that Su Muwan finally smiled, Shangguan Yu was also a lot happier.

"Wanwan, I still have something to do, so I'll go to the study first, you have to believe in my ability, don't think too much." Shangguan Yu still had something to deal with, so he could only leave Su Muwan's room.

With this fierce spring rain, the battle of the imperial court was also quietly sounded, and the general camp was divided into three factions, namely the first queen and the second prince faction headed by Shangguan Ling, the eldest prince faction headed by the precious concubine and Shangguan Qian, and finally the faction of Shangguan Yu and Shangguan Chen. However, because Shangguan Chen was still young, everyone naturally would not turn their attention to him.

Shangguan Yu arranged for Lan Yu: "In the recent period, you must pay close attention to the movements of Shangguan Qian and Shangguan Ling, and you have to tell me about the slightest action." ”

In fact, Shangguan Yu has been dormant for so many years, and he can already match them in terms of strength, but Shangguan Yu has been fighting for many years, which has led to the fate of only being familiar with military attaches and not understanding civilian officials.

In addition, in the past few years, the contradiction between civilian officials and military attaches has gradually become intense, with civilian officials believing that military attaches can only be brave, and military attachés believing that civilian officials can only play lip service and have no use in the slightest.

Although Shangguan Yu did not say anything disparaging about civilian officials, as a representative of military generals, he was inevitably compared.

Therefore, if you want to gain a firm foothold, Shangguan Yu needs more support.

Shangguan Ling was also in the palace of the queen mother, discussing how to go next, but the two also had some disagreements.

Shangguan Ling was reluctant to continue to use Su Xinai's chess piece, as early as when he was on a cruise, he began to be dissatisfied with Su Xinai, Shangguan Ling originally thought that after the queen beat Shen Yun, she had already expressed her decision to give up Su Xinai, but she didn't expect to still think about Su Xinai at this time.

"Queen Mother, we can't use Su Xinai's person anymore, you have already beaten Shen Yun, this is undoubtedly for Su Xinai, Su Xin's love is quite deep, you can't hold the pillow She is really doing things for us." Shangguan Ling persuaded the queen.

"Ling'er, but after having Su Xinai, things will be very convenient!" The empress told Shangguan Ling that she had already thought of your attention.

"Then Su Xinai gets along with Shangguan Yu day and night all day long, so we will let Su Xinai poison Shangguan Yu's diet, and after poisoning Shangguan Yu at that time, the precious concubine's son will be much easier to deal with."

After Shangguan Ling heard his mother's suggestion, his brows tightened, and after thinking for a while, he said to the queen mother: "Queen Mother, your method can indeed prevent future troubles forever, but you must know that there will be two major problems in this matter. ”

"What's the problem?" The queen asked.

"First of all, will Su Xinai listen to our arrangement so easily? If you threaten Shen Yun's life, don't forget, Shen Yun is the wife of the prime minister, and we will have to stammer with him at that time. Shangguan Ling told the queen the first question.

After hearing this, the queen also felt that what she said made sense, and then asked what the next question was.

"The second question is, Su Xinai agreed to our request and successfully poisoned Shangguan Yu, how do we face the questioning of hundreds of officials, in this current period, if Shangguan Qian, Shangguan Yu, and Shangguan Chen have any mistakes, others must be pointed out by lurking, don't forget, there is also an imperial uncle."

By the way, there is also Shaohuajun, although he doesn't ask about the affairs of the court, but there are still a lot of forces!

When the queen mother thought of this, she still felt that her son was thinking more comprehensively, so she praised Shangguan Ling: "Ling'er, you still think more comprehensively, what are you going to do?" ”

"Since Shangguan Yu's triumphant return after the Battle of Yumen Pass, he has been deeply loved by the people, and Su Muwan contributed money and efforts to appease the refugees when they rioted, which made Shangguan Yu's more important in the minds of the people." Shangguan Ling analyzed the current situation.

"So now we need something to break everyone's love for Shangguan Ling, for example, to connive at the bullying of the side room by the main room, we will shape Su Xinai into a bullying appearance, when the time comes, spread more rumors about Su Muwan's beating, first see everyone's reaction, if it's okay, let's shift the topic to Shangguan Yu.

However, for Shangguan Qian, I don't know what to do now. "Shangguan Qian always looks like a humble gentleman, so people can't find flaws, but Shangguan Ling always feels that Shangguan Qian is definitely not as simple as it seems. The calmer the surface and the more indisputable it seems to be with the world, the deeper the kung fu behind it.

Shangguan Ling first told his mother the general situation of the matter, and now the important thing is to go to the ministers' homes to lobby, after all, he still needs their support to sit on his throne a little more securely.

Although Shangguan Ling didn't know the face of Shangguan Qian's gentleman, Shangguan Yu knew it very well.

When Shangguan Yu was young, he didn't have a mansion, he just stayed in the palace, living in his mother's bedroom, and once, at a banquet, because a servant girl accidentally sprinkled water on his body, Shangguan Qian at that time could be said to be a gentleman.

"The eldest prince spares his life, the slave didn't mean it." The maidservant cried and begged Shangguan Qian for mercy, and kept kowtowing, bleeding from her forehead.

Shangguan Qian helped the maid up with pity, and said in a warm voice: "This is all a trivial matter, it's okay if people are fine." ”

After finishing speaking, Shangguan Qian also gave his handkerchief to the maid and asked her to use it to stop the bleeding.

It was also because of this incident that the image of Shangguan Qian and a humble gentleman began to spread, but Shangguan Yu saw a different Shangguan Qian.

The next day, Shangguan Yu was playing with Shangguan Chen, Shangguan Chen was clamoring to play with a kite, Shangguan Yu had to order someone to make a kite, but by coincidence, the kite happened to fall on a tree next to Shangguan Qian's palace, there was no way, Shangguan Yu could only climb the tree and take the kite off, but he saw a picture that he would never forget.

A woman was hung in Shangguan Qian's house, and Shangguan Qian whipped the woman with a leather whip, although she couldn't hear what she was saying, but Shangguan Yu recognized that this woman was the woman who accidentally soiled Shangguan Qian's clothes. After a short beating, the woman was covered in scars and unclothed.

Shangguan Qian found a few guards, but those guards didn't look like palace guards, so Shangguan Qian asked these men to take the girls out.

After Shangguan Yu took off the kite, he hurriedly gave it to Shangguan Chen, asked him to hurry back to the dormitory, and he followed the guards and left.

I saw that the guards dragged the maid to a place where there was no one, and humiliated her in turn, and the maid finally died tragically under them.

Shangguan Yu felt that it was cold all around, so he hurriedly came to the dormitory, and when he came back to the dormitory, his mood still couldn't be calm for a long time, and after a while, he hurried to Shangguan Chen and warned him not to get too close to Shangguan Qian.

At that time, Shangguan Chen didn't know what was going on, but he just thought that his brother's words must be right, so he gradually distanced himself from Shangguan Qian.

In the end, several princes who were good friends with Shangguan Qian all died tragically in different ways, and Shangguan Qian also used a hypocritical face to confuse many people.
