Chapter 35 Brewing
The cold wind is howling, the wisps of cold air are like needles and needles burrowing into the sleeves, and in the corridor in front of the Changxin Palace, the lanterns are dim, like ghost fires that have not slept at night. The cloister was empty, except for a shallow shadow passing through the palace walls.
Although it was a cold day, Hu Changren's back was soaked in cold sweat, he looked left and right nervously, opened his shirt, and a bright yellow silk book lay quietly in his arms. Hu Changren closed his eyes and exhaled a breath of white air, cleaned up his mood, and walked towards the Qianqiu Gate.
After a long time of abolition, the queen mother's sister finally agreed to write this edict of abolition, whether it was the queen mother's sister or he Hu Changren, in fact, they all made an ideological struggle when they fell to Gao Yan.
In fact, in terms of personal feelings, Hu Changren still likes Gao Wei's nephew, and when he was a child, he could urinate with himself in a pot, but now he ...... Alas, Hu Changren looked at the ethereal lights in front of him, and his heart suddenly felt a little sad.
[But, King Langya is right, if Wei'er doesn't abdicate, then my old Hu family will definitely suffer a catastrophe! ] 】
[In order to protect his own family, he can only sacrifice Wei'er......]
"He wants to abolish the emperor? No, this is absolutely not possible, I don't agree! In the Jade Buddha Hall, Empress Dowager Hu was surprised and loudly opposed.
The two sons kill each other, which she and Gao Zhan absolutely don't want to see!
Empress Dowager Hu pointed the finger at Hu Changren, "Big brother, just call you big brother, he has such a mind, why don't you dissuade him!" Do you have to be happy to see their brothers in a wall and a river of blood? What are your intentions? ”
Hu Changren smiled bitterly: "This is not what I am going to do?" King Langya is now ready to send it! There are more than ten lords under the command of King Langya, and now the guard of Qianqiu Gate, Kudi Fulian, is about to be subdued by him, how do you think Wei'er can stop King Langya? ”
"What? Even Kudivo has thrown himself on Yan'er's side? Empress Dowager Hu was almost unsteady on her feet, holding the low table with one hand, and sat down slowly, her face pale. She almost didn't dare to imagine that she and Gao Zhan had long been afraid that such a day would appear, so when they finally decided to let Gao Wei inherit the throne, they had been deliberately suppressing Gao Yan, just to prevent such a day, but against all precautions, this day has finally come......
[Could it be that this is fate? She thought disheartenedly.
"Heh, you have prepared such a complete ......, I'm afraid you had this heart very early, right? ...... "She knew she couldn't stop it anyway.
Hu Changren was silent, in fact, King Langya's mind can be seen by the discerning people in the court, and King Langya has indeed wanted to keep his eyes on Taoguang and try to fade out of Gao Wei's field of vision, but he was still recognized by Gao Wei, which made Gao Yan have to take risks.
It's adventurous, but it's worth a try! If you win, you win all!
Hu Changren said earnestly: "The matter has come to this point, and there is no way to get it back...... Girl, you just promise to come down......"
"What if the mourners don't agree? What if I go to Wei'er and tell him everything? Empress Dowager Hu asked rhetorically, as if she said it casually, but her sister herself understood after all, and Empress Dowager Hu was not joking.
So Hu Changren pinched his beard, his face wrinkled into a bitter melon, and said, "Sister, don't be like this, what's the use of you doing this?" It's too late for you to tell Wei'er now, I don't know if Yan'er will ...... in advance, besides, even if Wei'er has the ability to suppress Yan'er, this is a big crime of rebellion! It's going to punish the people! Wei'er is no longer the same Wei'er as before, even if Wei'er is the same as before, if something like this happens, can Wei'er let her go? ”
“…… You have also seen the things that Wei'er has done these days, first killed Lao He, then offended Xungui, and then almost killed his own uncle, and now even Lu Lingxuan's mother-in-law has already stood on Yan'er's side, even if Yan'er does not have the intention of abolishing the throne, this throne Wei'er is not stable! ”
"Think about it for yourself, is Wei'er still the same as he did to you?" Hu Changren almost used all his strength, this was the best eloquence in his life, "Wei'er, he is different from the past!" He won't be merciful, if he goes on like this, not only our old Hu family, sooner or later he will put the knife on Yan'er's neck! ”
"Sister, brother, please beg you, even if you don't think about our family, you also think about the country left by the emperor and for Yan'er!"
Empress Dowager Hu was defeated and cried: "Then what can I do? Wei'er will kill Yan'er if she wins, and she will never let Wei'er go if she wins! ”
Hu Changren's heart moved, and said: "Before I came, I also asked Yan'er like this, and Yan'er promised again and again, saying that as long as Wei'er obediently abdicated, she would never embarrass Wei'er, and she would still be a prince of peace." ”
Empress Dowager Hu seized on the last glimmer of hope and asked hopefully, "Really?" Is that really what you said? ”
[Of course it's fake......] This is just a nonsense that Hu Changren made up in order to deceive his sister and hurriedly wrote an edict, and anyone who is a little more rational can figure it out, but Empress Dowager Hu has been carried away by sadness and panic at the moment, so she will take Hu Changren's words as the last straw.
"Big brother, are you telling the truth? Is that really a guarantee? Empress Dowager Hu asked.
A trace of guilt flashed in Hu Changren's eyes, and he quickly covered it away, and said without changing his face: "This is natural, can I still deceive you with Wei'er's life?" ”
"......" Empress Dowager Hu seemed to have been drained of her last strength, and after a long time, she said: "Okay......, I'll write, take pen and ink to ......"
When he was entangled in contradictions, he had already walked outside the Qianqiu Gate, and the soldiers guarding the door did not even check the waist card, and let his carriage pass without searching, Hu Changren lifted the curtain and wondered: "Hey, how can the Qianqiu Gate be so loose today?" ”
The soldier of the forbidden army, who was silent on weekdays, said: "General Kudi specially explained, saying that Uncle Guo's car does not need to be checked. ”
"Oh," Hu Changren closed the curtain.
[It seems that King Langya has persuaded Kudi Volen, and sure enough, Wei'er must not be able to win this time......]
Hu Changren felt that he was standing in the right line, and instructed the coachman: "Go to Langya Palace!" ”
At this moment, in a dark room in the Langya Palace, the candlelight was bright, and the Langya King and more than a dozen people were discussing in the secret room.
"How many people can you mobilize in Yecheng?"
"Your Highness, the ministers and others are in charge of more than 4,000 people in the Western Battalion, and they can all be transferred over!"
"Your Royal Highness, I'm afraid it's not easy to do it here, the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized by the minister are now in the Beida Camp, and the Shangguan of the Beida Camp is the King of Lanling, there is no suitable reason, I'm afraid it will be difficult to mobilize...... a person frowned.
"Lanling Wang......" Gao Yan also frowned, thought for a while and said: "Don't take care of him, the Lanling King has a hand in leading the army to fight, but if he is allowed to participate in the government, he will never dare, not to mention, he will never dare to do it against us." ”
This is the consistent impression that King Lanling gives people, and it is true, King Lanling, as long as he is not on the battlefield, has always been docile and peaceful, and his sense of presence in the court is lower than that of his younger brother King Ande.
"When the time comes, take out the secret edict of the Queen Mother and show him, how dare he stop us?"
"In this way, His Highness can mobilize no less than 10,000 people by then! Big things can be expected! One person was pleasantly surprised.
"Your Highness will become a generation of saints!"
"Wrong, it's time to change it to Your Majesty!"
"Hahaha......"
"I'm afraid of Zuo Xiang......" A person said worriedly: "I heard that Zuo Xiang will return to Yecheng in the near future." ”
King Langya said: "Lone has already thought about ......, Lone will let the queen mother send Dazai Duan Shao back to Beijing and support Lone to ascend the throne, when the general trend has been decided, Hu Lu Mingyue (that is, Hu Lu Guang, Mingyue is his watchword) is powerless to return to the sky even if he has a big wrist!" ”
"Lord Wang, Uncle Guo is here......" The old butler appeared at the door of the secret room, and Hu Changren stepped in behind him.
"Your Royal Highness, this is the Queen Mother's secret edict." Hu Changren handed the edict to King Langya, Gao Yan couldn't wait to grab the edict, spread it out and read it carefully, and said happily: "The world is lonely!" ”
"Congratulations, Your Highness!" Everyone bowed down.
"When is Your Highness going to do it?"
"Excuse me!" King Langya was full of pride in his heart at the moment, but he made a calm appearance, saying: "The day after tomorrow is the New Year's Festival, and all the officials will enter the palace to see them...... Well, it's the day after tomorrow! When the time comes, send people to mobilize 10,000 people into Yecheng, and Lone personally leads 3,000 soldiers and horses into the imperial city to join General Kudi, huh? General Kudi has no opinion, right? ”
"The minister has no opinion." Kudi Volian said respectfully, as if he was completely subdued by Gao Yan, Gao Yan smiled, patted his shoulder armor, and said:
"Don't worry, you won't be disadvantaged if you win the big position!"
"Huh? Is there anything you want to say? ”
"Minister, there's nothing to say......
Hu Changren thought about it, and finally swallowed Gao Wei's words of intercession.
