In order to boost the cohesion of the people, Huo Zheng made an exception and took them to face the monarch together, and when they came out of His Majesty's bedroom, they also looked shocked, but they didn't expect His Majesty to become like this in order to seek immortality, and they were secretly stunned in their hearts.

Anyway, as long as His Majesty wakes up, everything will be fine, no matter how much the East Palace jumps up and down, it is impossible to jump out of His Majesty's Five Finger Mountain, and it is really too difficult for them to target the prince, at this time, the ministers seem to have the backbone all of a sudden, and on the way back, their serious expressions finally relaxed.

Lang Zhongling Zeng Gong said: "Your Majesty asks us to strictly control the rumors in the capital, which implies that we want to attack the prince's faction?" ”

Yu Shi Zhongcheng was tall and said: "Before, we were in the way of the prince's side, and we were not ruthless, but now with His Majesty's golden mouth, we don't have to hesitate to give the prince face." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard this, in the past few months, the prince's party has been able to toss them enough, and sometimes it is difficult to even promote normal government affairs, and almost all of their energy has been spent on dealing with the collective petitions of hundreds of civil and military officials of foreign dynasties.

Weiwei Du Chen asked Huo Zheng and said, "Lord Xiangguo, since Your Majesty has come to your senses, I can either invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come and visit Your Majesty, so as to calm people's hearts?" ”

When Huo Zheng heard this, he shook his head and said: "By all means, the national teacher has explained before, Your Majesty is only temporarily sober for a while, and it will soon become the same again, these twenty years, we must do everything possible to delay the past and buy time for Your Majesty." ”

Wei Wei Du Chen sighed and said, "It's not easy for the Prime Minister to survive until now!" ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, Huo Zheng glanced at them, and finally completely calmed down their restless thoughts.

A few days later, in Qingyang, in the main hall of the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked depressed, and Liu and Qin looked at the edict sent by the Taiji Palace in the name of the emperor to reprimand the prince, and they were also indignant for a while.

Qin Shao hated and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, this must be a coquettish edict, Huo Zheng and the others are really ruthless, almost all the officials of our faction have been demoted out of Beijing, and they have also sent a security team to start a curfew, and even the Tsing Yi envoy has been dispatched to supervise the words and deeds of hundreds of officials, this group of traitors ......"

Liu Yu was puzzled: "If even the Tsing Yi envoy who can be commanded by His Majesty is dispatched, I think it is possible that this is really His Majesty's instructions, otherwise Huo Zheng and the others would not dare to act so recklessly?" ”

Qin Shao sneered and said: "If Your Majesty had given Huo Zheng full authority to them before the accident, they would also be able to command the Tsing Yi envoys, and the Tsing Yi envoys were nominally under the jurisdiction of Du Chen, the guard captain, and Du Chen was also discussing politics in the Xuanzheng Yuan. ”

The crown prince and Liu Yu were also silent when they heard this, Qin Shao's reasonableness, the Tsing Yi envoy was not necessarily the emperor himself, but also a person in the name of the emperor himself, and now they were like frightened birds, even the slightest wind and grass made them nervous.

Even Liu Yu, who has always been steady, has no good plan now, and he doesn't know how to deal with the current situation.

The crown prince sighed and said, "You, Your Majesty, or these traitors in the name of Your Majesty, will it be possible to abolish the position of the lonely prince?" ”

Liu Yu heard this: "If Your Majesty is still here, your position as the prince can be safeguarded, but if Huo Zheng and Lu Liang are traitors who take the opportunity to gain power, it will be difficult to talk about it......"

After hearing this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Qin Shao's eyes, and he said:

"Liu Yu's is, now I just don't know if His Majesty is still in the world, if His Majesty is no longer in the world, how can I sit still and wait to die? It's better to kill the traitor and fight him to break the net......"

As soon as these words came out, the prince and Liu Yu were immediately shocked on the spot, what is this for? Mutiny?

Liu Yu said in a trembling voice: "Don't be impatient, isn't there news from the palace, and there are still ten majestys who will be out of the customs?" This path must not be taken unless absolutely necessary, and once it is done, there is no way back. ”

The prince was silent when he heard this, and he was already able to express his attitude.

Qin Shao listened and said, "Who knows if they are delaying the army?" Now that we've sent our faction away, it's really impossible to guess what they're going to do. ”

A few days later, in the main hall of the East Palace, the prince urgently convened his staff to discuss major matters, and the prince looked at the secret report secretly submitted by Guo Huan with a blue face, summoned Qin and Liu, and handed the secret report to the two to circulate.

This time Qin Shao was fine, but Liu Yu smiled strangely after watching the secret performance: "I understand, a year ago, Gongzi Sheng actually entered the palace secretly, and now all this is explained......"

Liu Yu shouted in the direction of Taiji Palace: "Your Majesty, why are you so confused? This is shaking the foundation of the country, how can you be so confused? ”

Qin Shao smiled coldly and said, "This is not necessarily what Your Majesty meant, I really can't figure out how Your Majesty could be so confused that he wants to abolish Chang Liju?" ”

After listening to their words, the prince remembered the way Huo Zheng looked at him at the gate of the palace that day, and sighed:

"Zhao Shaofu is Gongzisheng's uncle, he has always been good friends with the Huo family, Zhao Zhuo's eldest son Zhao Zhuo also married Huo Zheng's daughter, they are also in-laws, maybe they have already colluded to support Gongzisheng's ascendancy, we are wrong, we should have made up our minds to act, but now it's good, wrong again and again, delayed again and again, Lone's teacher was detained by the old thief, and most of the courtiers who served Lone were deposed from Beijing, Lone's wings have been cut clean, and then it's my turn, Huo Zheng, Huo Zheng, What a good means, hahahaha......"

In fact, it is no wonder that the prince is so suspicious of a series of operations in the Taiji Palace, the emperor does not know whether he is alive or dead, and now he is so unprecedentedly vigorously suppressing the East Palace, which is always and everywhere revealing unusual.

Qin and Liu saw the prince's crazy laughter, and their faces were depressed, as if the end was about to come.

Qin Shao looked at the secret letter and was stunned on the spot, he had already guessed that it would not be long before the edict of the abolished prince would be officially issued.

Liu Yu ran over and grabbed the crazy prince and shouted, "Your Royal Highness the prince, be sober." ”

Seeing that the prince was still crazy, Liu Yu slapped the prince in the face, and the prince covered his face and sat down on the ground without saying a word.

Liu Yu said with a hideous face: "His Royal Highness the Prince, now is not the time to give up on yourself, Huo Zheng and they are pressing forward step by step, they just want to force us to take that last step, as long as we take that last step, they will have a reason to justifiably abolish Your Highness's position as the prince, do you understand?" ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and his eyes lit up: "Yes! Oh, yes! Liu Qing's right, as long as we hold our breath and don't take the path they want us to take, they have no reason to forcibly abolish the position of Lone's prince, after all, Lone has been in this position for more than ten years, in terms of popularity and qualifications, if they forcibly abolish Lone's position as the prince, how will they explain to their subordinates in the future? ”

Liu Yu advised: "Your Highness, they won't stop, no matter whether we take that road or not, they won't stop, Your Highness, have you forgotten about Li Gong?" ”

The so-called Li Gong matter, is more than 300 years ago in this different world Warring States Era, the famous battle in the history of the Jin State, the fifth generation of the Jin State monarch Jin Pinggong just died violently, the close ministers around him did not mourn, abolished the elder and the young, forced the prince to die, and set up the young master, that is, the sixth generation of the monarch Jin Li Gong, and then the relatives and ministers took turns to control the Jin Dynasty and government, cholera dynasty, after the death of Li Gong, after that, the Jin State fell into sixty or seventy years of internal strife and recession, until Jin Chenggong came to power, the state affairs were slightly stable.

Qin Shao said in a deep voice: "Li Gong? How similar is this situation to back then? Liu Yu is right, no matter what we do, they will not let us go, and we desperately launched an army to admonish them, just to give them a more sufficient reason to destroy us and give an explanation to their subordinates. ”

"The reason why they have been delaying until now to be ruthless to us is that they are fully prepared, or, a few months ago, the Taiji Palace water incident, Your Majesty is likely to have returned, we actually stupidly believe in Huo Lao's words, and now if they want to clean us up, in fact, they are just a pretentious."

The prince sat down on the ground dejectedly and said, "What should we do now?" Soldiers? So what kind of military advice? There are more than 1,000 princely guards, and they are also controlled by the guard captain Du Chen, so they can't be counted on at all, there are 4,000 elite lieutenants in the Taiji Palace to guard them, do we rely on these hundreds of temple maids in the East Palace to admonish the soldiers? Leave it to fate! ”

The prince lay motionless on the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.

Liu Yu's fierce eyes flashed, and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, if we really want to launch a military admonition, it may not be without a chance of winning, since they really force us to take this road, then we will simply go to show them, now it is time to have to fight to the death, Your Highness, before they officially issued an edict to abolish the position of the prince, maybe we still have the possibility of fighting back, rather than not being able to save anything, it is better to break the net, and maybe there is a chance to turn the tables." ”

Qin Shao listened, stepped forward and persuaded: "With His Royal Highness's current prestige, if we call on the people of the whole city and Qingzhuang to follow us to attack the Taiji Palace, it may not be impossible to succeed, Your Highness, the minister has a relationship with Qingyang Ling Cao Huan in private, I am sure to convince him to start an incident with us, and Guo Huan He has always had the habit of raising dead soldiers, presumably there should be a lot of people under him, and we actually still have hole cards." ”

After hearing this, the prince's eyes seemed to regain his brilliance, and he sat up all of a sudden, looked at Qin and Liu, and said, "Okay! Good! It's up to you to call Guo Huan to see me immediately and discuss the plan. ”

Guo Huan received the call of the crown prince, and immediately came to the East Palace lightly, Guo Huan also knew the content of the secret letter, along the way he already felt that something was wrong, in thinking of the recent grim situation, Guo Huan was already keenly aware that something big might happen.

Guo Huan just arrived at the East Palace, only to see that the atmosphere in the hall was extremely depressing, the prince's face was sinking like water, Qin Shao, Liu Yu, and Cai Ying, who had not seen him for many days, were also present.

Later, Qin Shao analyzed himself and Liu Yu Errao, and explained it to Cai Ying and Guo Huan in detail.

Guo Huan listened and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Brother Qin and Brother Liu's analysis is reasonable, the initiative is no longer in our hands at the moment, I also think that whether to do it or not, those bullies and traitors in the Taiji Palace will not let us go, so we might as well give it a go, even if it is a death, we must die vigorously." ”
