Zhu Houzhao returned from Jiangnan, and never showed up again after accidentally falling into the river. Although I have always heard that Zhu Houzhao's health is deteriorating, but now I suddenly heard Yang Tinghe say that "the emperor has died", this news still shocked the ministers in the main hall of the cabinet.

Liang Chu frowned, and stood up first: "How is it possible? The emperor is in the prime of life, and he is in good health on weekdays, how could he suddenly die? Lord Yang, don't lie about it." ”

Yang Tinghe looked helpless, spread his hands and said: "This kind of thing lends me Yang Tinghe ten guts, I don't dare to talk nonsense, right?"

The old man was also surprised by this incident and was terrified. On the first watch, the emperor sent someone to summon me to the palace, and then talked with me for a while before handing me the edict of succession, and then he died suddenly. This matter can be testified by Concubine Bao Niangniang and Imperial Doctor Xi Hu of the Royal Hospital, and the old man has no lies. ”

Yang Yiqing suddenly stood up, his face pale. Since he came to Jingshi, he took over the position of the head of the household, and got the appointment documents of the scholar of the Jinshen Hall and the crown prince Shaobao, but he has never been able to see Zhu Houzhao.

I've been waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, and now I've been told that the emperor has died?

This has to make Yang Yiqing believe that there is no cat in it, how is this possible? After Yang Yiqing got up, he looked at Yang Tinghe coldly and said: "The emperor has died, why am I sitting here? Go to the Qianqing Palace first, and then talk about seeing the emperor!"

"That's right. Zhong Bin also stood up at once, spit out these two words, and left immediately.

Qian Ning, who was also sitting in the conference hall, frowned, and shouted to Zhong Bin in a deep voice: "Zhong Bin, don't be impulsive, wait for Lord Yang's arrangement." ”

Zhong Bin turned his head to glance at Qian Ning and left the main hall of the cabinet without saying a word. And Yang Yiqing immediately followed, followed by Liang Chu and Cui Zhengyi

A few of them took the lead, and many of the rest began to silently get up and follow them out of the main hall of the cabinet. Yang Tinghe had no good way to stop it.

In the end, the people who stayed in the house were basically Yang Tinghe's people, Yang Tinghe nodded slightly, and then everyone walked towards the Qianqing Palace together.

When everyone arrived at the Qianqing Palace, they saw several corpses of brocade guards outside the palace gate before they walked in.

Yang Tinghe was shocked, and suddenly understood that something was wrong, and he turned his head to look at Qian Ning. Qian Ning immediately ran to the Qianqing Palace, and Zhong Bin and Yang Yiqing also followed.

When I arrived in the Qianqing Palace, the dormitory was empty, where was the emperor's corpse?

Qian Ning searched everywhere in the palace, wanting to see if Zhu Houzhao's body had been hidden. Because although the guards of the Qianqing Palace in the palace have been temporarily withdrawn, the security in other places is even stricter, and if there are outsiders who break in at all, it is impossible to have no movement at all, and there is also a person who is about to die.

Zhong Bin and Yang Yiqing ignored him, but went directly out of the Qianqing Palace. Yang Yiqing looked at Yang Tinghe and said, "Lord Yang, didn't you say that the emperor died? I didn't see the emperor at all, there was nothing." ”

"This" Yang Tinghe finished his words, and after a while, he said, "Someone must have stolen the emperor's dragon body." ”

Yang Yiqing glanced at Yang Tinghe deeply, and finally flicked his sleeves and said, "If I haven't seen the emperor's body, I won't believe that the emperor has died." ”

After speaking, Yang Yiqing left directly.

Zhong Bin's eyes swept at Yang Tinghe, as well as Qian Ning, who had just come out of the Qianqing Palace, and then he walked away without saying a word.

Then Liang Chu, Cui Zhengyi and others also left.

In this way, Yang Tinghe's edict to announce Zhu Houzhao's succession could not be carried out, Yang Tinghe was so angry that his face turned pale, and he flicked his sleeves and walked away.

Zhong Bin and Yang Yiqing had just walked out of the palace, and the two of them met the disciples of the Thousand Sects who came to inform the two of them to come to the Yin Mansion and inform the two that Jiang Xia was waiting there.

After receiving the news, the two immediately rushed towards Yin's mansion.

When the two arrived at the gate of Yin's Mansion, they didn't need to knock on the door, and the door was opened.

The entire Yin Mansion is hung with white cloth and white lanterns, and the hall in front of it is also arranged as a mourning hall, and a big word "Dian" is hung in the middle.

Yang Yiqing and Zhong Bin were not familiar with each other, so the two glanced at each other, Yang Yiqing first nodded to Zhong Bin, and then Zhong Bin bowed slightly, representing a return gift.

At this moment, Jiang Xia, who was wearing a white cloth filial piety robe, walked out of the hall, looked at the two and said, "You are all here, come in and talk." ”

Yang Yiqing and Zhong Bin saw that Jiang Xia was actually wearing filial piety clothes, and both of them showed surprise on their faces.

After the two walked into the Yin Mansion hall, Jiang Xia said, "Let's go, let's go to the side hall to talk." ”

Just when Yang Yiqing and Zhong Bin arrived at the Yin Mansion, Yang Tinghe also returned to the Yang Mansion. After waiting in the mansion for a while, Liu Liangnu and Qian Ning arrived. And then Zhu Houxi also arrived.

The three of them followed Yang Tinghe to his study, where there were only three oil lamps, and the light was not very bright. In addition, Yang Tinghe didn't speak, and the other three didn't dare to speak first, so the atmosphere was a little weird.

After a long while, Yang Tinghe suddenly grabbed a teacup on the coffee table next to him and slammed it to the ground, and shouted angrily: "Jiang Xia!"

After being silent for so long before exploding, it was obvious that Yang Tinghe wanted to endure the anger in his heart at first, but in the end he couldn't endure it and chose to explode.

Yang Tinghe is not young, and the burden of such fire on him is not small.

He took two breaths, and then said: "Now that the situation has changed, the previous plan must be stopped for the time being, so as not to have any drawbacks." ”

"What has changed in the situation?" Among the four people present, only Zhu Houxi didn't know anything, so he asked.

Yang Tinghe glanced at Zhu Houxi, and he didn't know why, his glance made Zhu Houyu a little nervous.

Yang Tinghe said: "The emperor's body was stolen, it should be done by Jiang Xia." Now we can't prove to the Manchu Dynasty that the emperor has died."

After a pause, Yang Tinghe said something he was most reluctant to say. "What's worse is that we don't know if the emperor is really dead. ”

"My lord, the emperor has been hit by the yak rotten heart needle, and he will definitely die!" Qian Ning said a little nervously. He knew what kind of consequences his people would face if Zhu Houzhao didn't die, so it was better to say that he was saying this sentence to himself than to Yang Tinghe.

So he said this very firmly. However, the slight tremor of the voice was still heard by everyone.

Yang Tinghe glanced at Qian Ning, then directly ignored him, he sighed and said, "Jiang Xia has the King of Hundred Herbs by his side, are you really sure that the emperor will definitely die?"

Speaking of the Hundred Herb King, the faces of the four people in the study became even more solemn.

After a long while, Zhu Houxi asked, "My lord, what should we do next?"

Yang Tinghe pondered for a moment and said, "I didn't expect Jiang Xia to suddenly come to such a move, which really caught me off guard." There are three things that are crucial next. The first is to immediately find Jiang Xia's whereabouts and confirm the emperor's life or death. The second is to block the news, and the news of the emperor's death must not be allowed to spread out of Beijing. The third is to be prepared to close the city gate at any time and forcibly help you to ascend the throne. ”

"Yes. Qian Ning, Liu Liangnu, and Zhu Houxi responded at the same time.

And on the Yin Mansion's side, Jiang Xia has just finished telling everyone about Zhu Houzhao's incident.

Although Yang Yiqing and Zhong Bin had long guessed that Yang Tinghe might have concealed something about Zhu Houzhao's death, they did not expect that he, who has always been known for his loyalty, righteousness and integrity, would carry out such a big conspiracy behind his back.

After hearing what Jiang Xia said, Yang Yiqing couldn't help but ask Jiang Xia: "Brother Jiang, the matter has come to this point, what is the best way to deal with it?"

Jiang Xia had obviously already considered countermeasures, he nodded, and turned his head to look at Zhu Yujiang, who was sitting next to him as if he didn't know anything.

Jiang Xia stretched out his hand and hugged Zhu Yujiang to his lap, and said, "Before the second child died, I promised him that I would personally help Yu Jiang to ascend the throne."

Therefore, I can ignore the second hatred for the time being, and the most important thing at present is how to support Yu Jiang to ascend the throne. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the only son of the emperor, and his ascension to the throne is justified, even if Yang Tinghe has the edict written by the emperor in his hand, I believe that the ministers of the court and the central government will not be able to support the succession of Wang Xiaoshizi of Xingxian. Yang Yiqing said.

Jiang Xia shook his head, and from his solemn expression, he could see that this matter was not so simple.

"Since Yang Tinghe dares to set up this game, he must have his own plans. Now all the soldiers and horses inside and outside the Beijing division have been controlled by Yang Tinghe, and most of the civil and military generals in the court are Yang Tinghe's people. If he puts his heart on the side and forcibly helps Zhu Houxi to ascend the throne, it is undeniable that his chances of success are not small.

But we are not at all sure of success, at least Lord Yang, you are right, Yu Jiang is the crown prince, and his ascension to the throne is justifiable. At present, although Yang Tinghe has controlled the entire Jingshi inside and outside, he still failed to control the entire Daming country. Since he wants to help Zhu Houxi ascend the throne behind closed doors, then I just won't let him get his wish. ”

After speaking, Jiang Xia talked about his arrangement.

At the headquarters of Jinyiwei, Qian Ning summoned all his henchmen to take out Jiang Xia's dossier, and carefully searched for people or places related to Jiang Xia.

In the end, Xia Fengxiao, Liang Wenhan, Wang Wenbo and others were all circled out, and Jinyi Wei was arranged to monitor. Soon, the Yin family was also noticed by Qian Ning.

At the same time, Jingshi Tsing Yi Building was also closed, but the number of people in the store was not less, but more.

Hundreds of black-clothed people had been eating and sleeping in the hall, waiting to receive Zhu Houxi's orders.

Zhu Houxi nested in his study for a whole day, and finally he noticed the Yin family after checking all the past deeds of Jiang Xia.
