Chapter 229: Chess Game
Prime Minister Ji entered the Nine Emperors' Mansion in the afternoon, and left through the secret passage when it was nearly dark.
After Prime Minister Ji left, the Nine Emperor Princes, who were sitting in a wheelchair, stood up, he knocked twice by the window, and a black figure appeared like a ghost.
"This thing is sent to Youzhou." The Nine Emperor Princes handed an envelope to Ying Wei, "Tell King Jing that his daughter is nostalgic for the scenery of Chu State, and she will return to the fiefdom later, hoping that he will not read it." ”
The shadow guard lowered his eyebrows and put the envelope into his arms, "My subordinates will live up to His Highness's trust." ”
The shadow guard rode his fast horse overnight and headed for the fiefdom.
Two days later, when King Jing was going to bed, he suddenly heard a stone hitting the window lattice, and immediately opened the window vigilantly, and placed an envelope on the window sill upright.
King Jing tore open the envelope and poured out a jade pendant from it, his face changed, and the jade pendant was a token of his daughter Changle.
Listening to the rumors from nowhere, King Jing's face was very ugly, threatening, threatening clearly.
King Jing said in a deep voice: "Go back and tell your master that all the 60,000 elite soldiers have been lent to him, and ask him to read in Changle and don't worry about her." ”
King Jing straightened out the soldiers overnight, only to find out that one of the deputy commanders was a subordinate of the Nine Emperors.
The inside should be combined with the outside, and King Jing has long become a chess piece.
King Jing laughed: "This game of chess has calculated this king from the beginning. ”
The deputy commander became the commander, leading 60,000 elite soldiers to the capital, and along the way with the elite 1,000 troops, there were 120,000 soldiers and horses, and the capital could quickly mobilize a total of less than 80,000.
The Nine Emperor Princes have been dormant for many years, and even injured their legs to lower everyone's defenses, isn't it just for today.
His mother is a palace maid, from a humble background and died early, and without the support of his mother's family, it is no wonder that he chooses to forbear and hide his edge.
Changle later thought, no wonder Prime Minister Ji Cheng would do his best to help the Nine Emperors ascend to the throne, according to his ingenuity, I am afraid that as soon as the chess game is set, he will have seen through it and crushed the winner.
He just entered the game from the perspective of a spectator.
The crown prince supervised the country, the spring breeze was proud, and ordered someone to secretly make dragon robes according to his size.
Everyone in the palace witnessed that the old emperor's spirit was getting better and better day by day, and he even sat up from bed at noon one day and ate a bowl of meat.
In order to facilitate swallowing, a bowl of fat meat was served in the imperial dining room, and the prince personally served his father for his filial piety, which was praised by everyone.
After waking up, the old emperor sent someone to conduct a thorough investigation, and learned that it was the previous alchemy that had damaged the body, and he was angry.
Although the Taoist has been beheaded, it was the crown prince who brought the Taoist into the palace in the first place.
Since ancient times, the emperor was suspicious, and after such an experience, the old emperor couldn't help but think that the prince had bad intentions, so he was disgusted with him, and the prince showed his love for power when he was in charge of the country during this time, which was clearly coveting his own position, and the old emperor was even more unhappy.
The concubine took advantage of the old emperor's initial recovery from his serious illness, and coaxed the old emperor's heart to bloom with her rhetoric, and hinted that the prince had the intention of ascending the throne, the old emperor was more suspicious, and what the concubine said was also in line with his wishes, so he waved his hand and wrote the edict of abolishing the prince, and renamed the son of the concubine, and the seventh prince as the prince.
The old emperor was not good on the night he wrote the edict.
He had a more serious stroke this time, he couldn't even hold his saliva, he was flowing everywhere, his mouth was crooked, his eyes rolled up to the sky, he was convulsing, and he was going to die in the next second.
The Tai Hospital was helpless about this, the prince was frightened by the appearance of the old emperor, at this time, a person suddenly flashed among the heads of the Tai Hospital, and he hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, go and invite the national teacher, the whole country, only the national teacher can save the saint!" ”
"Yes, yes, call the national teacher!" The prince kicked the little eunuch on the ass and kept urging.
His kick caused the little eunuch to hit the cabinet, and the two holy decrees that were not installed fell into his arms.
The little eunuch was startled, rolled his eyes, hid behind the curtain, and hurriedly gave the prince a look.
It was obviously a newly written edict, and the prince said in his heart, his father was afraid that he would not be able to do it, so he wrote the edict in advance to let him ascend the throne.
The prince opened it with joy and almost fainted.
The prince couldn't have imagined that during the period when the old emperor fainted, he did everything himself, stayed up late to watch the recitals, and did not forget to accompany the old emperor to eat, why did the old emperor abolish him?
The prince couldn't figure it out, the prince was very angry, the prince stood by the old emperor's bedside, looking at him condescendingly, and the little eunuch stood next to him hunched over.
The imperial doctor looked at each other and hurriedly retreated.
The Nine Emperor Princes sat in a wheelchair and entered the highest palace in the imperial city, Yaotai.
Yaotai is very high, and the wind is strong at night, so the national teacher stands with his hands in his hands, raising his eyes to look at the sky full of stars.
"National teacher, my father is dying." The Nine Emperor Princes pushed a wheelchair to her side.
"The purple microstar has been exceptionally bright lately." National Teacher's Road.
The Nine Emperor Princes glanced at the sky, and quickly retracted it, overlooking the entire imperial city.
He said: "I thought that the national teacher would not be able to bear it, after all, my father's current situation ......."
The national teacher's expression was faint: "Your Highness, time is running out." ”
The Nine Emperors leaned on a wheelchair and were careless: "When the prince ascends the throne, he must want to make some achievements and establish prestige, and the national teacher has prepared a plan to fight drought, but the prince may not be unwilling to implement it." ”
"Rectify the imperial court, clean up the household department, fill the treasury, experiment with the cultivation of crops, light labor and thin taxes, and plant drought-resistant crops for the whole people, the prince is not courageous." The voice of the national teacher is neither salty nor light.
In the case of drastic reform policies and regulations that are unfavorable to relatives, the heirs prefer to stick to the old ways.
Moreover, more people in power only care about their own interests, and disregard the life and death of the people for their own selfishness.
"Oh?" The Nine Emperor Princes said with a smile, "The national teacher is so optimistic about this palace? ”
The national teacher was silent, and the Nine Emperors said softly: "The national teacher has the world in mind, has great talents and strategies, is familiar with military books, and cares about all the people, why not ascend the throne himself, and be written into the history books in the future, as the first empress of the ages, let future generations worship?" ”
"Not interested." Regarding the temptation of the Nine Emperor Princes, the national teacher's expression did not have the slightest wave.
The emperor is suspicious, not to mention the true dragon son born from Ziweixing.
The palace was brightly lit, and there was a faint cry wafting out, and the bells rang with it.
The Nine Emperor Princes looked at the direction of the Qianqing Palace with great interest, and saw the palace people hurrying with white cloths, and the smiles in their eyes were even greater.
After a moment, he supported his head with his hands, and his dark pupils looked at the woman standing with his hands in his hands for a moment.
The clothes are flying, the world is independent, cold and absolute, and the demeanor is all right.
A smile slowly curled up on his lips: "National teacher, what if it is replaced by the queen's position?" ”
The other party glanced at him without the slightest emotion, left a word, and turned to leave from Yaotai.
The palace was silent, there was no sound, and the time passed minute by minute, but the Nine Emperor Princes still knew that sentence in their ears.
She said, "Your Highness, you should go and see your father off for the last time." ”
