Chapter Forty-Eight: Not Wonderful
"Your Highness, the edict is missing...... It was the crown princess who went to check and found out...... That's why the humble post came to repay it. ”
It is no secret that the edict has already been read.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew about it, and Qin Chuan didn't care too much about preserving it.
Because he didn't need it when he sacrificed to the heavens, it was enough to use the edict once, but now that it was stolen, his nerves were erected.
The only person who can steal the edict is the woman next to him, maybe Bai Ying, who is emotionally unstable.
Qin Chuan's head was sweating a little.
He had an ominous premonition that the edict was suddenly lost, and it was not such a coincidence when Liu Changqing returned to Beijing.
Suddenly - he thought of the most dangerous possibility!
"Yao Cheng!"
"In!"
"You immediately go and inform Liu Fang, the commander of the Nine Gates, and ask him to enter the palace immediately, order the people, and hurry!"
Yao Cheng snorted, but was very confused: "Your Highness, isn't there a Royal Forest Army in the palace?" Zhao Zheng has surrendered to you, isn't it enough to have him? Outsiders want to enter the palace, but they can't get in easily. ”
"Don't say it, you can do it right away."
Qin Chuan didn't know what would happen, he was just nervous, and he always felt that the next second would not be peaceful.
Perhaps, I have watched too many palace coup dramas, and when people are most relaxed, it is the best time for the enemy to attack.
These days, he did let himself relax a bit, which is not good.
Liu Changqing is also a feudal official, his brain is not much worse, with him and Zhou Dewei here, now he needs to be more careful.
……
Xiangye's Mansion.
Someone from the clan came to Zhou Dewei and told him the news that Qin Buyi was killed, and invited him to enter the palace together, go to King Qin's escort, and kill Qin Chuan.
The smart Zhou Dewei knew at a glance that Liu Changqing did this matter.
The queen has no chance, and she doesn't have the guts to do this, she can only be a member of her mother's family, and Liu Changqing is an impatient person, and she does things recklessly, everyone has heard of it.
In Yunzhou, he made the people hate him to the extreme, and whoever dared to impeach him would be assassinated.
It can be said that Liu Changqing is a devil, once something happens, he will open the bow and have no turning back, and cooperating with such a person is to dig a hole for himself.
Zhou Dewei was vague and sent someone away.
"Alas...... The queen was anxious, and she didn't trust the old man, so she actually let Liu Changqing, a madman, make trouble. After killing Qin Buyi, do you think this matter will be solved? Fool, the position of the Admiral of the Nine Gates is the most important thing. ”
……
Liu Changqing sat in the queen's palace, and his plans were all said.
Decide the big thing, tonight!
Liu Ning wished she could get everything done as soon as possible, but her heart was beating faster and she was panicked: "Brother, did Zhou Dewei agree to come?" ”
"I just had someone bring him a message, and I don't think it matters if he comes or not. As long as you take the palace and kill Qin Chuan, you are the only one who can play the role of an order in this capital. ”
"Brother, the position of the Admiral of the Nine Gates is in the hands of the Liu family."
Liu Changqing drank tea and disagreed: "If Qin Chuan is dead, who else can he Liu Zhongping support?" Without a master, he would have to be dumb. Could it be that he dared to kill you and Qin Yue in public? Hmph, Liu Zhongping, this old thing, he doesn't have the guts. ”
At this moment, Qin Yue came.
When he entered the house, he greeted politely: "Uncle." ”
"Your Highness, you don't need to be polite, after tonight, you will be the Son of Heaven in Great Xia."
"Son of Heaven? Wait a minute...... Queen Mother, what happened? ”
Liu Ning said: "Yue'er, come here and kowtow to your uncle." For the sake of your position as the prince, he killed the great elder of the clan, Qin Buzhi, and forced Zhao Zheng, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, to rebel against Zhao Zheng, after tonight, Qin Chuan will be killed, and at that time, you will be the Son of Heaven. ”
Qin Yue didn't know anything about such a big news in advance, and he only heard about it now.
He was dumbfounded: "Queen Mother, this thing sounds like a dream." The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all know that Qin Chuan is the prince appointed by his father, how can I rob him? ”
Uncle Guo smiled: "Edict, I have already made a new one, and Qin Chuan's share was destroyed by me." Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the edict is not destroyed and Qin Chuan is killed, isn't there only one left among the sons of the first emperor? ”
If so, Qin Yue barely felt very refreshed.
The drum in his chest also fluttered: "This matter...... Is it reliable? Will there be any change?! In case of...... In case Qin Chuan finds the people of the Admiral of the Nine Gates, this person in the palace will not be able to bear it. ”
"Nephew, you can rest assured, martial law is already under martial law at the palace gate, no one can think of entering or leaving, from the palace gate to the first emperor's spiritual hall, we have to pass through the nine palace gates, as long as we kill Qin Chuan in advance, the world can be decided!"
After listening, Qin Chuan bowed again with joy, and kowtowed to Uncle Guo to thank him: "Uncle! My nephew kowtowed to you! As long as I become the emperor, I will reward you heavily, and I will make you the protector of the country! Take control of the world! Abolish Zhou Dewei's old thing and let you be the prime minister! ”
"Hehe, okay, the three of us have one heart, brass turns to gold!"
……
Qin Chuan closed his eyes and thought, sat peacefully, and said something in his mouth.
The right eyelid was constantly jumping.
"Your Highness!"
Yao Cheng rushed over.
Qin Chuan chuckled in his heart: "What's the matter?" How did you get back? ”
"Your Highness, the palace gate...... Can't get out. ”
"What?!"
Yao Cheng said with annoyance: "The Imperial Forest Army at the gate of the palace said that no one is allowed to enter or leave now, and it is Zhao Zheng's warrant. ”
"It seems that the queen is going to do it......"
"Your Highness, Zhao Zheng is backwatering again?!"
It's useless to think about these things now, so let's think about countermeasures.
Around him, there are less than ten people who can be used for his own use, including Xiao Jin and a few palace people, as well as Yao Cheng, which is ridiculous to think about.
Soon after I crossed over, do you have to ...... Are you going to be killed here?
The battle for imperial power is so dangerous, it is really terrifying.
Yao Cheng: "Your Highness, let's go sideways!" I swear to defend you to the death and help you fight your way out! ”
"No, we don't have the strength to fight hard now."
"Could it be...... Shall we just sit idly by? The queen is doing this with the determination to kill. ”
"Yes, but, Liu Ning and Liu Changqing, why don't they make trouble?"
What are these two waiting for?
Qin Chuan looked at the coffin of the former emperor: "Old man, is it possible, am I going to enter the imperial mausoleum with you?" ”
Wait!
In the entire palace, there is only one place that is the safest, and that is - the coffin of the first emperor!
Only the coffin has the least chance of being searched.
However, it is also difficult to avoid the final search...... Think of a perfect plan, or rather, the most feasible plan!
Qin Chuan had an idea: "Yao Cheng, go get the Son of Heaven Sword." ”
