Chenghua Mansion as the capital of Yueguo, there are four acropolis arches in the southeast, northwest and northwest on the periphery, and the inner perimeter is considered to be the territory of the imperial capital, and the most central area is naturally where the imperial city is located.

This imperial city covers an extremely wide area, the glorious atmosphere of the palace shows the monstrous power of this country, come here to see all the masters say that this imperial city feng shui is excellent, it is built on a very prosperous dragon vein, can ensure that the great Yue dominates the world, the country is long.

But in today's imperial city, there is a vaguely tense atmosphere, the sense of order in the past is completely lost, the palace maids of each palace are like headless flies, exchanging gossip with each other that they don't know where to hear, most of the eunuchs are sent out by the masters, stubble in and out of various departments in the palace, the two thousand imperial forest troops responsible for maintaining order in the palace are missing at this time, and the palace that is becoming more and more unruly seems to be developing in the direction of the vegetable market.

Seeing such a ridiculous scene, the old man Qiao Wei, the chief director of the Leli Division, jumped violently, and the crimson three-grade official uniform on his body seemed to be a ball of fire trembling with anger, and the iron in his hand couldn't stop beating the ground, if it wasn't for the fact that the ground of the imperial city was paved with good green rock, I was afraid that it would be smashed out of more than a dozen holes.

"It's so unruly! You're going to rebel!"

Looking at Qiao Wei, who was so angry that his face turned pale, these people didn't dare to say anything, but the chaos did not disappear, just after a short period of silence, the noisy vegetable market announced that it would continue to open.

After all, although Qiao Wei, the three-rank master, is a big figure that they can't reach, but this Lelisi is not an important department, and it is difficult to directly control them with little power, and the masters behind them are not necessarily smaller than Qiao Wei.

There were other officials present, and seeing that Qiao Wei's warning was also ineffective, they had to persuade Qiao Wei with a wry smile, for fear that the old man would carry it in one go.

At this time, the Royal Forest Army was not there, and they alone could not suppress the scene.

"Han Xiang is here!" shouted in the crowd.

The officials got out of the way one after another, revealing a man in a purple and gold python suit who walked quickly.

This person looks very delicate, his long hair is neatly combed, coiled in a jade crown, his figure is slightly rickety, and he is a little older with a few wrinkles on his face, but it is not difficult to see that he must have been a chic son when he was young.

Dressed in python clothes, only the two princes who have sealed the land of the two provinces have this qualification, and ordinary kings can't wear it. Yue Guo is not allowed to be crowned king with different surnames, in addition to the two princes from the royal family, there are two other people who can also enjoy this great glory under the gift of Emperor Suzhen.

One of these two is the current prime minister Han Hui.

There are mixed opinions about his political achievements, in short, those who are close to him regard his parents, and those who hate him regard him as a tiger and wolf, probably the same treatment as the capable ministers of all dynasties, but about his authority, it is absolutely the same, because those who say two may be higher than the tombstone.

So when Han Hui appeared in the scene, the vegetable market immediately closed the stall. Those palace maids and eunuchs bowed their heads one after another, but their bodies trembled a little.

In case you annoy this Han Xiangye, he doesn't care who the master behind you is, he will kill it first, and it depends on his mood whether he plays it later or not. Han Hui kills people without blinking, this is the general concept of Han Hui after these subordinates have heard about Han Hui from their masters.

Han Hui didn't get angry, let alone kill, he just smiled and said: "You all disperse, what kind of system do you have here, go back and tell your master, Han Mou is going to face the saint now, just let them wait." ”

The words were not serious, but the subordinates were like amnesty, and scattered as birds and beasts. This Han Xiangye's words are more terrifying than the swords and guns of the Royal Forest Army.

Qiao Wei and the other officials saw that the chaos was suppressed by Han Hui, and they all stepped forward to salute, as if they had something to ask.

Han Hui clenched his fists slightly, then raised his hand and interrupted: "Colleagues, don't ask again, everything will be decided after Han Mou's face is sage." ”

After that, he ignored them and went straight to the deep palace.

The officials who stayed behind looked at each other, and they all knew in their hearts that Han Hui was usually very trusted by the emperor, and he had the right to arbitrarily decide anything in the palace, as if he had become the second emperor, but now he couldn't come up with an explanation before facing the saint, it seemed that the emperor was critically ill and the rumors that time was running out were true.

"If the emperor dies, I'm afraid that the sky will change again. ”

"Ten years ago, it was because the first emperor did not set up a crown prince, and this time the emperor did not set up a prince, I think Dayue is in danger of losing the country. ”

"Isn't it, the Thirteen Mansions of Dayue, except for our Chenghua Mansion and the two mansions where there are two princes, everyone knows that the rest of the mansions are semi-autonomous, and these mansions also have their own plans, and they have always disobeyed the emperor's orders, and the emperor can suppress them in fashion, if the emperor is not there now, there will be a dispute between the princes, even if the world will be in chaos!"

In the depths of the imperial city, a palace stands quietly, this hall is called "Xiu Xin Zhai", surrounded by a circle of bamboo forests, compared to other palaces, it seems to be a place out of the world.

Before Xiu Xinzhai, there is a path leading directly to the entrance of the palace, which is different from other places in the imperial city, and the construction is extremely simple, and it is no different from the folk path at a glance

There are even many creepers on the mottled walls on both sides, who would have thought that this is the place where Zhang Yunlan, the emperor of Yueguo, resides.

Han Hui crossed the path and came to the bamboo forest in Xiuxinzhai, and in front of him was a forest of armor soldiers, and those imperial forest troops who should have been stationed in various parts of the imperial city had gathered nearly half of them here.

Seeing that it was Han Hui, the leader of the leadership ordered the soldiers to get out of the way, and after saluting, he said, "Han Xiang, Your Majesty is already waiting for you in Zhai." ”

The prime minister didn't say much, and went straight to the palace, and after he left, the Imperial Forest Army resumed its strict battle formation, guarding this deep palace like a strong wall.

In a room of Xiu Xin Zhai, there are some old things placed in it, which are very elegant, there is a large warm stove made of carved jade in the middle, and green smoke is slowly floating outward, and the smoke is accompanied by a strong medicinal fragrance, and there are two palace maids on the side who fan with fans, blowing the smoke into a tent of an ivory bed.

Lying in the Naluo tent is the supreme ruler of the current Dayue Kingdom, Zhang Yunlan, the Great Emperor of Suzhen.

Zhang Yunlan's road to becoming an emperor can be described as a legend, he was not the crown prince of the Yue royal family, but the son of an idle prince, and he was the nephew of the former emperor Zhang Yue in terms of generation.

When Zhang Yue was in power, he was a faint monarch who was alive and well, Chenghua Mansion was made into a miasma, and all kinds of expropriation and expropriation also made the people of the other twelve mansions miserable, and several powerful princes could not bear it and prepared to rebel, and all the people in the world were separated from the imperial power, and the Yue country was about to die.

When the survival was in danger, the Yao family, the Zhou family, and Lei Qingshan, the then governor of Quanyue Mansion, united to demand that the tyrant abdicate and elect Zhang Yunlan as the new army.

At that time, although Dayue was chaotic, it was not enough to shake Chenghua Mansion by relying only on two major families and a Quanyue Mansion with average strength, but with the assistance of his sworn brother Han Hui, Zhang Yunlan, who was only twenty-three years old, captured Chenghua Mansion in less than two years, abolished Zhang Yue, inherited the unification, and the emperor called Suzhen.

After Zhang Yunlan ascended the throne, he worked hard in the past ten years, put down several rebellions, and restored Chenghua Mansion to the first male capital of Yue State, although in order to maintain the Yue State not to divide and let seven of the thirteen mansions gain autonomy, Zhang Yunlan is still worthy of a generation of male lords.

But now the thirty-five-year-old Emperor Suzhen has lost his former heroism, wearing a loose robe and slumping on the bed, without the slightest blood on his face, waiting for the green smoke in the stove to drift in, Zhang Yunlan took two puffs, and then felt better.

"Chen Han Hui, ask to see Your Majesty. ”

The prime minister's voice sounded outside the door.

Zhang Yunlan's miserable face suddenly became a little blush, and his hands wanted to support his body, but he couldn't hang down, so he turned his head and ordered the two palace maids to open the door.

The prime minister paced in and intersected with the emperor's eyes.

Just like back then, Zhang Yunlan asked Han Hui, who was sleeping on the sickbed, to go out of the mountain to help for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji.

"Coming?"

"Well, here we are. ”
