Emperor Wen was very ill this time, and the people in the court were panicked, and everyone was worried. The crown prince died, King Lu was placed under house arrest, the emperor was so sick that he couldn't get out of bed, and everyone didn't know where Da Yue should go. If the emperor has an accident, everyone's eyes are on the Qi King Xichang, who is the most unlikely to inherit the throne, and Xichang can be said to be the only heir.

When all the ministers were looking forward to Emperor Wen's condition improving, there was only one person secretly cursing Emperor Wen in the secret room of the palace, and this person was none other than Emperor Wen's second son, Ji Rui.

A strategist-like person next to Ji Rui whispered: "Lord, Xin just came back from Qingcheng and went to the Xiliang military camp, Dong Zhuo has one condition, after the matter is completed, he will sit in the position of Taishi and lead the court." ”

Ji Rui said angrily: "This villain, does he want to take advantage of the fire to rob?"

Hua Xin saw that Ji Rui was angry, and immediately silenced, trembling and bowing his head and not daring to look at Ji Rui. Ji Rui was silent for a moment, leaned back, and sighed: "What do you mean?"

Hua Xin said: "The current situation of the lord is very bad, no matter what the emperor's health is, the throne is now unrelated to the lord. If the emperor's condition improves, judging from the emperor's disposition at the beginning, the lord still has a glimmer of life. If the emperor ...... , The Third Highness inherited the throne, and in order to prevent future troubles, the lord was the real danger at that time. I feel that no matter how harsh Dong Zhuo's requirements are, he might as well respond to them, and after the big thing is completed, he will slowly figure it out. ”

Ji Rui said angrily: "Ji Chang, that waste, he dares?!"

Hua Xin said: "The power of the three highnesses, the lord should not be underestimated. Its main foundation is in the Taishi lineage, the power in the civil and military is on par with the lord, and there is also a Yang Wei Yang Degao, this is a guy who even the emperor has to follow the hair, this time there is a rescue work, and the position of the commander of the army has fallen on him, this person must not be despised by the lord. ”

Ji Rui opened his mouth, wanting to say a few words to belittle Yang Wei, but he didn't know where to start. This Yang Wei is too demonic, and he is actually extremely jealous in his heart. As soon as he thought of Yang Wei, he regretted that he had the urge to hit his head against the wall, he had known that Yang Wei would have said today, he would not have cared about Xiao San's warning at the beginning, and he would have won Yang Wei over by tearing his face.

Ji Rui was a little depressed, and suddenly remembered the purpose of this trip, and asked, "What about the news over there in Qingcheng?"

Hua Xin said: "I have seen their real people, what they mean is that after the matter is completed, they want sixty percent of the quota of the court generals." At present, their Supreme Elder Xu Fang happened to travel to the territory of Sili, not far from Luoyang, if the lord was interested, the specific actions could be discussed in detail with their Supreme Elder Xu Fang. ”

Ji Rui nodded and agreed: "Okay, then trouble Ziyu again and invite that Xu Fang over." "This condition, he doesn't care too much, the military general position of the court is directly appointed, who is not given, besides, from Qingcheng, the general martial arts will not be too bad. As long as big things can be accomplished, this little exchange of interests is still within his reach.

After Hua Xin took his leave, Ji Rui closed his eyes and fell into deep thought, secretly thinking about the cause and effect of this series of events. This series of things, Ji Rui is really wronged, he really has nothing to do with these things, he hasn't even moved a finger, and now he has become the mastermind, which makes him extremely aggrieved.

Ji Rui has already made up his mind to usurp the throne and rebel this time, and his biggest reason this time is not for the temptation of the throne, but for his life! If his father is alive, no matter what punishment he has for him, he will not have to worry about his life, his father's heart is too soft, even if he knows that he wants to kill himself, he can't be ruthless.

Ji Rui suddenly had an intuition that this matter had a lot to do with Ji Chang. After this series of events, the biggest beneficiary was not him, but his third brother Qi Wang Xichang. As soon as he thought of this series of layouts, he felt a chill in his heart, this third brother who usually had a harmless face from humans and animals!

If it is really as expected, then the hole cards of his good third brother are by no means as simple as Hua Xin said, at least where did these assassins come from, Ji Chang has never been on the surface, and he has not even had contact with the people of these sects at all. What a deep city! What a heavy scheming! What a ruthless strategy! What flows in his veins is worthy of the blood of the Ji family.

If the rebellion really succeeded, he would never dare to stay with Chang for one more day, and he must get rid of it as soon as possible, because he was afraid of leaving such a person in the world!

Emperor Wen's situation in the past few days is very bad, several times there has been a phenomenon of heart arrest, the imperial doctor called this situation pulseless, ordinary people have this phenomenon, Lang Zhong can judge that this person is dead. But this object is different, this is the emperor, and if you can't do it, you have to find a way, so now all the imperial doctors have become first aid experts.

The queen's already fragile heart was hit hard again. The two most important people in her life, the eldest son went first, and her husband now knows whether he is alive or dead, and he has fallen into a coma. If it weren't for the fact that she had a young son who accompanied her all day long, she would have no courage to continue living.

In the Taishi Mansion, Zhang Zhi stood in the courtyard, holding the letter written by Yang Wei to him, looking at the direction of the palace, and muttered: "Wei'er, doesn't the old man know the danger? But now that the court is in turmoil, how can the old man bear to leave!"

This morning, the ministers were surprised to find that Zhang Zhi, the old lady who had always ignored political affairs, appeared in the court. The generals are not there, there are only civil officials in the court, and these civil officials dare not have the slightest disrespect for this old lady who is comparable to the ancient sages.

As soon as Zhang Zhi came, he made a surprising statement, proposing that he himself should take the lead and set up a political affairs hall with six Shangshu concurrently serving as the secretary. All political matters shall be settled through consultation with the Government Council. This time, the mountains of twists and turns finally began to have a place to go for approval, and the state of paralysis of the court gradually got on the right track.

After Emperor Wen returned to Beijing, he didn't have the heart to review the twists, and when the twists came, there was no entry and exit, and the political affairs were basically paralyzed, until this moment, it was back in operation.

Zhang Zhi's move, not only did not arouse the disgust of the ministers, but they all admired Zhang Zhi's personality even more, in this stormy moment when the court was paralyzed, only the old lady was willing to risk the world's disapproval, gave up years of persistence, and took on the heavy responsibility of the operation of the court at such an age.

Zhang Rang returned to Luoyang, and he never had the opportunity to leave the palace, and it was not until today that Yang Wei's letter was handed over to Zhang Zhi. However, how did Zhang Zhi go!
