Huo Zheng was persecuted by the crown prince, and did not go down to the city tower to find a life to eat flesh and blood, and the delirious emperor asked for an order, but turned around and went to the back of the city tower, he blushed his face, and saw that the chief manager Lu was standing behind the city tower, obviously outside the city, he also heard the words of His Royal Highness the prince.

Huo Zheng arched his hand to Lu Liang and said, "Manager Lu, you also heard it, what can you do?" ”

Mr. Lu also had a blue face, and he didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of him.

Huo Zheng saw that he had no idea, and said, "Chief Manager Lu, why don't we open the palace door and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in!" I really don't have any reason to stop His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

Only then did Chief Manager Lu realize that he was shocked: "Lord Xiangguo, you must not, if you let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know the truth, the consequences will be unpredictable." ”

Huo Zheng smiled coldly and said: "Chief Manager Lu is a little calm, the old man feels that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not really dare to come in." ”

Manager Lu understood as soon as he heard it, and said, "Okay! Good! Lord Xiangguo, then we will simply open the palace door and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in! ”

Huo Zheng deliberately walked down the city tower and walked around the square for half a circle, before returning to the palace gate, ordering the forbidden army to open the palace gate, and went forward alone, saluting the prince:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand years old, the minister is rude, the minister has gone to ask His Majesty, Your Majesty, I am very relieved, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has such filial piety, please ask His Royal Highness to visit His Majesty's Qing Xiu Palace, and the minister will lead the way for His Royal Highness the Prince."

This time it was the turn of the prince's party officials to look at each other, the prince couldn't help but stay on the spot when he heard this, he didn't expect that Huo Zheng really wanted him to enter the palace to meet the emperor, he turned his head slightly and glanced at Qin Shao.

Qin Shao didn't expect Huo Zheng to really agree to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to enter the palace, his expression changed, he shook his head lightly to His Royal Highness the Prince, and whispered: "Your Highness is going to be dangerous, you must not be in danger." ”

Qin Shao's meaning is obvious, that is, he is afraid that this Huo Zhengyu will be killed, and he will trick the prince into the palace and take him hostage, then it is really a person, it should not be called, and the earth is not good.

The prince pondered for a moment, but still walked forward with the food box with a fearless face, Qin Shao and Liu Yu looked at each other, and followed behind the prince with a ruthless heart.

Seeing this, the prince hurriedly said, "Why are you following Lonely? Go back quickly. ”

Liu Yu said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats the two of us like national soldiers, the two of us have long shared the glory and disgrace with His Royal Highness the Prince, how can Qin Shao and I abandon His Royal Highness, even if it is the tiger's den in Longtan, we also want to follow His Royal Highness." ”

After hearing this, the prince was moved beyond measure, and persuaded a few words, seeing that the two were still unmoved, so the three of them went to the palace gate together, and the prince secretly swore that as long as he took the throne, he must reuse Liu and Qin.

Huo Zheng saw that the prince was really coming, and he was also panicked in his heart, did he really want to detain the prince too? If the prince succeeds to the throne in the future, this Liang Zike will die, and if he wants to have a good death, I am afraid it will be difficult.

Huo Zheng thought about it for a while, and remembered His Majesty's last entrustment before consuming the pill, forget it, it was also after the crown prince succeeded to the throne, even if the old minister died without a place to be buried, he had to stand the last post for His Majesty, which could be regarded as the right kindness of His Majesty's acquaintance.

The three princes walked to the gate of the palace, in fact, although the four of them did not have any expressions on their faces, they were actually panicked in their hearts, Huo Zheng was afraid that the prince would really come in, and the prince was afraid that Huo Zheng would go out and detain himself, or just invite the king into the urn and seek another big thing.

Especially the crown prince, he faced Prime Minister Huo Cheng directly, wanting to see something from his face, but unfortunately he found nothing, and his psychological pressure increased suddenly.

Huo Zheng missed his body expressionlessly and made a gesture of please.

The prince took a few steps forward, and subconsciously glanced at Huo Zheng, only to see his face flashing with a ruthless look, the prince was shocked and inexplicable, and he couldn't move his legs in an instant.

Seeing this, the prince paused, showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said:

"Huo Xiangguo, so be it! Since it was inconvenient for His Majesty and his old man to see Lonely, Lone handed over the medicinal food to Lord Xiangguo and forwarded it to His Majesty to show Lonely's filial piety. ”

As soon as these words came out, the four people present were secretly relieved.

Huo Zheng immediately took the food box with a smile and said: "The prince is benevolent and filial, his true appearance is inexplicable, and the minister must convey His Royal Highness the prince's filial piety to His Majesty." ”

The prince bowed his hand in the direction of the machine hall and said: "Then there is Lao Huo Xiangguo, Lord Xiangguo, Gongzhong Guoguo, and when His Majesty leaves the customs, Gu must go to the table to ask His Majesty to praise Lord Xiangguo." ”

Huo Zheng smiled when he heard this: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is polite, the old minister can stand on top of this court, and he is completely lazy and trusting the saint today. ”

The prince nodded with a smile and said, "Then Gu will not disturb the prime minister to be loyal to the country." ”

The prince was just about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly remembered something, turned around, and said, "Prime Minister Huo, there is one more thing I want to ask Lord Xiangguo." ”

Huo Zheng's face changed slightly, and he said with a smile: "What else does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince command?" ”

The prince said: "Prime Minister Huo, how is my teacher Cui Xiangguo and his old family?" Is it convenient for students to meet the teacher at the gate of this palace? ”

Huo Zheng's heart condensed when he heard this, should he let the prince meet Cui Yan here? His heart moved, no, he must not let them meet, who knows if Cui Yan, the old slippery head, will use code words to hint at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in private, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows the truth, it will be a big trouble.

Huo Zheng's heart moved, and he directly refused: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, it is inconvenient for Cui Xiangguo to meet His Highness. ”

The prince was puzzled: "Could it be that the old man is sick?" ”

When Huo Zheng heard this, he even looked for a reason, and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry, Cui Xiangguo is in good health, there must be no problem, this minister advises you not to see him!" ”

When the prince heard this, his face changed slightly, and he had to say embarrassedly: "Okay! Good! Lord Xiangguo has every opportunity, so he won't bother alone. ”

Huo Zheng bowed slightly and saluted: "Minister, send His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Huo Zheng knew that he had completely offended the prince, but it didn't matter, it could be delayed for a while, as long as His Majesty could wake up, there was still room for reversal.

When the prince returned to the car, he beckoned the hundred officials to go back, and now it is impossible to break in, Qin and Liu also took the same car with the prince to go back to the palace.

At this time, on the prince's car, Qin Shao said hatefully: "This old thing, I don't even have a reason, I'm worried, is this a complete showdown?" ”

The prince's face sank like water: "Even Cui Xiangguo won't let us meet, Gu is really worried about the teacher's safety." ”

Qin Shao listened to it and said: "Cui Xiangguo must have seen the true situation of His Majesty before being detained by Huo Zheng's old thief, will you Cui Xiangguo... Already..."

When the prince and Liu Yu heard this, they were also silent for a while.

Liu Yu said with a solemn face: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, now that Cui Xiang's life and death are unknown, we should start to deal with what happens." ”

The prince waved his hand and said: "Ji people have their own appearance, and I feel that Huo Xiang is not so crazy that he does not leave the slightest way out for himself......"

The prince remembered the cruel color that flashed on Huo Zheng's face, and he was still shocked in his heart at this moment.

Liu Yu's face changed and he sighed: "People are swordsmen, and I am ...... fish and meat."

Qin Shao was silent after hearing Liu Yu's exclamation......

Taiji Palace Xuanzheng Yuan Zuo Prime Minister Huo Zheng, Yu Shi Cheng Gao Chong, Lang Zhongling Zeng Gong, Weiwei Du Chen (chen), and a few doctors and officials who are not ranked in the Jiuqing, these people are basically important ministers who His Majesty trusts very much, and they are also in the Xuanzheng Yuan to listen to the government and run errands, and are privately called the inner court officials by the government and the opposition, and the empire and the government decrees are all issued from this.

At this time, Prime Minister Huo Cheng presided over the discussion of political affairs in the Xuanzheng Yuan, Huo Zheng said: "Now all your colleagues are your Majesty's ministers, Your Majesty is like this, and you all know that now it is rumored that Your Majesty has returned, but now Your Majesty's appearance will never be seen." ”

Wei Wei Du Chen said: "Lord Xiangguo, how long will it take for this National Teacher Zhang to sober up His Majesty?" ”

Huo Zheng sighed and said, "It will take at least twenty or so, Your Majesty will definitely wake up." ”

Du Chen's heart moved, and said, "Huo Xiangguo, what if Your Majesty can't wake up?" ”

Before Huo Zheng could speak, Lang Zhong ordered Zeng Gong to say: "Your Majesty will definitely wake up, and now at this time, we can only choose to believe that the national teacher can rejuvenate with a wonderful hand." ”

As soon as Zeng Gong's voice fell, everyone in the hall was silent, and they understood Zeng Gong's subtext, in case His Majesty couldn't wake up, it would be unclear if he had a mouth.

Once His Royal Highness the Crown Prince takes advantage of the emperor's critical illness and ascends the throne ahead of schedule, they will be slandered by the prince's party as blending with Zhang Daoling's demon path to assassinate the emperor, don't keep everything now, and it is unknown whether they can save their heads. The new monarch took the throne, and he just took advantage of this reason to sweep away them, the remnants of the previous dynasty, and quickly make room for the important ministers of the new dynasty, but in their hearts, no one wanted to make a situation of complete confrontation with the East Palace, after all, the crown prince was the future emperor.

Weiwei Du Chen said: "Lord Xiangguo, now we must control the public opinion of the government and the opposition, we must not let it spread, and we must severely punish those who spread rumors." ”

Yu Shi Zhong Cheng was solemn and said: "Lord Du, everyone can see that this is the princelings spreading rumors and causing trouble, and it has reached the point of trying to sway people's hearts. ”

Wei Wei Du Chen frowned and said, "Can we just let it go?" Last time, after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally came to force the palace to face the saint, I heard that the cronies of the prince's faction have been jumping up and down outside, connecting left and right. ”

Du Chen sighed and said: "How did you get to such a situation now, if there was no accident in the Wanshou Palace last time, and so many palace people died, maybe the East Palace would not have noticed that His Majesty had an accident, and we would not be as passive as we are now, hey!" ”

Wei Wei Du Chen obviously didn't want to get involved in this chaos, but now he couldn't help himself, he served as one of the nine Qing Wei Wei, and was the military governor in charge of guarding Qingyang, he could only pray that the emperor would wake up early and pray that nothing big would happen in the capital.

Huo Zheng looked at the circle of colleagues in the Xuanzheng Yuan, and he was also irritable, they all had their own calculations, some had a firm position, and some had an ambiguous attitude.

Now in the case of Your Majesty, if it weren't for the timely and decisive closure of the Taiji Palace, the people in front of them would not necessarily be absolutely loyal to Your Majesty, and there would be shameless people who ran to the East Palace in advance and hugged the prince's thighs, and now they can only forcibly tie them to a rope and share weal and woe.

At this time, a temple man walked up to Huo Zheng and whispered, Huo Zheng heard the words and exclaimed: "Is this true? ”

The temple people have repeatedly assured that it is true.

Huo Zheng finally couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and said something shocking to the officials of the Xuanzheng Yuan:

"My Majesty, Your Majesty has finally woken up."

As soon as these words came out, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and the hearts of the officials present who had been hanging for several months finally put it in their stomachs......
