Chapter 602 First arrangement, the golden cicada shelling

"The Empress Dowager asked her sister to enter the palace to wait for delivery? Where's Brother Shun?"

On the third day of Yuanqing's ten-year-old new year, Yijing was surprised to hear Yu Yu, who returned in the evening, tell such a sudden thing. She went to visit Yichen on the first day of junior high school. Obviously, it was the empress dowager's sudden decision.

"Brother Shun naturally also entered the palace." Yu Yu frowned and looked worried.

Yijing also felt that this fact was too sudden: "If you don't know, I will hand the sign into the palace and find out what's going on."

"My sister lives in Ci'an Palace for the time being, and Brother Shun is also taken care of by the empress dowager herself. She should not be unpredicted by others." Yu Yu took off the big fur cloak on his shoulder, pulled the scenery and walked to the inner room. He waved his hand to let the two maids who were cleaning up inside retreat. Then he said, "The Holy Dragon's body is in danger. I'm afraid... Maybe it's just this month."

Binjing was almost not scared and fell on the soft couch. She was helped by Yu Yu and let her sit on her lap.

"How did you know?" Ying asked in a tight voice.

In order to avoid suspicion, Yu Yu has not been in private with Jiang Qinggu for a long time. Naturally, it is impossible for him to go to the palace to inquire about such a thing.

"The Empress Dowager has something to do with."

"Empress Dowager?"

In fact, today, Yu Yu got the sign of the emperor and went to Ci'an Palace to greet her, but she happened to meet Yichen and her son. When she heard from the Empress Dowager that she was worried that Yichen was alone in the royal palace, she took her mother and son to live in the palace, and more people took care of her when she gave birth. Yu Yu also felt that this was sudden, but Yichen didn't have any idea. Later, Wei Zhao took time to say a few words secretly. Yu Wei knew that Yichen took the initiative to hand over the sign into the palace yesterday. I don't know what she had said to the empress dowager. Later, the empress dowager invited the emperor to drive and left both the mother and son in the palace.

At the beginning of the first month, a hundred officials congratulated, and the internal and external wives were also ordered to enter the palace. Yichen avoided this trip because of her heavy filial piety. Unexpectedly, she took the initiative to enter the palace the next day, and she didn't even mention it to Yijing. It was by no means as simple as greeting, but Yu Yu Yu really couldn't imagine what the reason why Yichen was.

Today, the Empress Dowager actually asked about Tianchawei, which also surprised Yu. The existence of Tianchawei was secret, and several princes did not know anything about it. The Empress Dowager obviously heard the emperor mention it.

The Empress Dowager asked that everything was running smoothly, but she didn't say much. She just told that the matter of Tianchawei was still under the palm of Yu Wei's hand, and it could not be leaked for the time being. After giving Yu Wei a secret order, Yu Yu knew that the emperor planned to let him submit the secret report of Tianchawei directly to the Empress Dowager in the future!

Then the Empress Dowager told him with a sad face that the emperor's dragon was in danger.

Since mid-December, the emperor has completely dismissed the early morning, handed over all the government to the two cabinets and the left and right prime ministers, and also told Su Yi, the Duke of Wei, to transfer the two forbidden armies in the east and south to defend the inner city. Although Yu and Su Yu often received imperial edicts, they also saw that the emperor's face was not good, but they didn't expect that the dragon's body would be so critical. Situation.

But what is frustrating is that instead of choosing the crown prince, he handed over the Tianchawei to the Empress Dowager, which really surprised Yu.

Hasn't the emperor been sure about the new king's choice until this time?

In Yu's opinion, the emperor should not hesitate again.

When King Fu was killed, the six and seven princes were useless. Although the eighth prince was holy, he was also because he was easy to learn and literary, but he could never be equated with the ability of governing the country. In Yu's view, although the eighth prince was quite virtuous, what Dalong needed at present was a vigorous monarch. The eighth prince was still It needs to be sharpened, but once he is allowed to inherit the country, the king of Qing will certainly not give up. At this time, the emperor has no time to clear the obstacles for the eighth prince, nor can he eradicate the Qin and Chen parties.

Because the eighth prince is not old enough after all, the emperor is bound to worry that he will not be able to sit on the throne, which will cause civil strife.

To eradicate the Qin and Chen parties, only Su and Chu are in power, and the emperor will also worry about the imbalance of power, so that the emperor will become a puppet.

At the beginning, the emperor agreed with the marriage between Su and Chu. He believed that the three princes had the ability to suppress the two mansions, and with the protection of the emperor, the two mansions would certainly become the help of the three princes. However, in this situation, the emperor may regret that he should not let the two governments of Su and Chu marry and become a threat to the new king.

The world is like this. It's like a chess game. It changes step by step, and the situation may change greatly.

So the emperor must leave Qin and Chen at this time to balance the regime, so he needs a king who has the ability to control and balance major forces. This candidate is not 100% suitable, but in contrast, there is only King Qing at this time.

Yu Yu really doesn't know why the emperor has not made a decision. At such a urgent time, he is still hesitant.

There is not even an edict to see the princes, and it is difficult to see the holy face of the emperor about the concubines of the palace.

Is it necessary to wait until the last moment to announce the successor in the form of an edict, but in this way, there may be a disturbance.

Although the six and seven princes are not capable, they are ambitious and may not obey the edict. If the eighth prince succeeds to the throne, King Qing will not agree.

Yu Yu felt that the emperor was in chaos because of the sudden departure of the third prince, so that he was at a loss. If he had made a decision earlier and quickly chose the crown prince, King Fu would not become the victim of four or five princes competing for the throne.

And Yu Yu suspected that in these days, if the emperor did not choose the crown prince, maybe King Qing would take some action.

It's really worrying.

"The Holy Decree allows me and my second uncle not to leave the palace from tomorrow." Yu Yu gently hugged the scenery, and then made a decision that made him almost regret for the rest of his life: "My father also got the order. He must stay in the governor's office and his father-in-law. Because he is in charge of the city defense, he can't leave the post without authorization... It's really hard for me to feel at ease. You and your grandmother will quietly leave the house tomorrow and live in the garden in the eastern suburbs. No one knows that place. Tao is our industry, relatively safe. I will arrange my own soldiers to guard Zhou Hu. Remember, you must not go out during this period. If there is any change, I will let Commander Xiao know that once the emperor dies... When the new king chooses, if there is no accident, I will take you back to the city.

If the emperor dies, as a daughter of the clan, she will naturally go to the palace to mourn, so the old princess and Yijing can't stay away, but if they stay in the palace of the king of Chu, they are afraid that the princes will not obey the edict after the emperor dies, and someone will launch a coup and hold hostages to force the Duke of Wei and the king of Chu to help usurp the throne. Once the king of Chu and Yu Yu Yu leave the house, they will not let go. The old princess and beautiful scenery are left alone at home. The Dongjiao Beiyuan is Yu's private property. Few people know that it is safer for the old princess and beautiful scenery to live there than the Chu Palace.

Binjing also knows that the situation is tense at this time, and it may be dangerous to stay in the palace of the King of Chu. Of course, it will not violate Yu's arrangement.

In fact, as Yu Yu expected, as soon as the New Year approached the Lantern Festival, King Qing felt many arrangements of his father, such as strengthening the palace guards, transferring the army to enter the city and other measures, which seemed to indicate that the emperor also knew that the deadline was approaching and began to hand over power, but he did not even receive an edict to enter the Qianming Palace. The joy and spirit were immediately replaced by anxiety. When it was learned that Princess Fu actually brought her son into the palace and lived in the Ci'an Palace with the empress dowager, Yu Yu and Su Yu often received an edict to talk secretly with the emperor, the king of Qing became more and more nervous.

Is it possible that he was in danger with the exception of King Fu, but his father actually had the idea of passing the throne to his grandson?

Isn't this too funny? Do you want to give the country to a yellow-mouthed child who can't speak? Why not just pass the throne to Yu Yu?

King Qing immediately denied this uncontrolled idea. He knew that even if he believed in the Duke of Wei and the King of Chu, he would never let the two mansions control the king and control the government. Moreover, it was not right or bad to let the son of King Fu succeed to the throne. The child is not even the eldest grandson of the emperor, but his son is!

So is it Lao Ba?

The old eight mothers are weak, how can He De compete with him for the world!

King Qing was unwilling, so he tried to inquire about the news from Su Zhi and Yu Yuan, the only two emperors. Unexpectedly, when he inquired about it again, he knew that the two cabinet scholars actually stayed in the court, and Wenyuan Pavilion even transferred Yu Linwei to garrison to prevent idle people from entering. This idle man included him.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, when he learned that the eighth prince had been edicted, King Qing was even more restable.

And he also got Jiang Qinggu's will. The emperor coughed and wheeled frequently, causing him to faint. At present, he could no longer walk and needed to sleep for a long time.

On the 12th day of the first lunar month, the emperor suddenly issued an edict and made the eighth prince Hao Min the king of Liao, and became a vassal of Guangning Prefecture in May.

This made King Qing breathe a sigh of relief and focus his attention on the sixth prince.

Although the sixth prince's mother is weak, the concubine Li is very favored. At present, the emperor is very sick and confused. If he is confused for a moment, he passes the throne to Lao Liu, a waste, and orders the Duke of Wei and the King of Chu to assist the new king, he is also a failure.

The ambiguous behavior of the emperor really made King Qing quite irrational and suspicious.

It is inevitable to have the idea of forcing the palace to seize the throne as a last resort.

Of course, the hasty action has fallen, not to mention that there are only hundreds of personal soldiers and dead soldiers raised in the hands of King Qing. With these alone, not to mention forcing the palace, I'm afraid that he can't even enter the safe gate.

Only by attracting the Duke of Wei, the Jingwei commander, can it be calculated.

But King Qing naturally did not really have the heart of "into win over". At this moment, temporarily win over the Duke of Wei is undoubtedly a fool's dream, only coercion.

However, King Qing has understood that Huang's status is worrying. Even if he can hold her in his hand, he can't threaten Duke Wei. Among many women's family, there is only the eldest princess, but the eldest princess is not an ordinary female, and King Qing has no ability to control it.

Sure enough, his mind turned to the concubine of the king of Chu. This is the pearl on the palm of the eldest princess, and he has a deep affection for Yu and his wife. If she is in his hand, he is not afraid that Yu Yu will not compromise. The Duke of Wei and the King of Chu have a good relationship. If Yu Wei comes forward, he may be able to persuade Wei to pay a sincere referendum.

Of course, at this moment, King Qing will not choose to attack the King of Chu's mansion to forcibly take hostages. The Duke of Wei can assist in the city defense. Before he enters, the imperial guard may drive into the Zhengfang.

King Qing's idea was to ask Concubine Qin to invite the imperial concubine to come to the house and find an excuse to detain her. Neither the king of Chu nor Yu Yu was in the palace. The old princess has always been independent and has a great chance to win.

But this plan must be timely, sooner or later, and find an excuse that the imperial concubine cannot refuse.

It is not difficult at the right time. Jiang Qinggu will diagnose his pulse every day. He knows the condition of the emperor very well. He is not afraid that he will not know in time when the deadline will come.

So King Weiyu planned and immediately began to lay out the layout. First, let Chen Guifei come forward to edict the imperial concubine, and asked her to draw a peony painting screen with Concubine Qin.

Kong was abolished, and the imperial concubine, who also assisted in palace affairs, was also killed. Concubine Chen leaped into the head of the six palaces and assisted the empress dowager in handling palace affairs. Naturally, she had the right to edict the inner and foreign wives. Suddenly, she needed a picture screen, and the imperial concubine could not refuse.

In this way, Concubine Qin has an excuse to invite Su to the Qingwang Mansion at any time. When the time comes, she will "strongly stay" people for three or two, just saying that it is entrusted by the noble concubine to do her best, and she is not afraid that the Chu royal palace will come to ask for people.

In addition, if the emperor dies, Yu Yu and the king of Chu and even the Duke of Wei are bound to be involved in the palace and do not care about the family's family.

Kable Wang's plan is doomed to suffer setbacks.

Because the chambermaid sent by Chen Guifei closed the door - it was said that the old princess was accompanied by the imperial concubine to go to the hot spring farm to rest, not in Kyoto.

Naturally, Chen Guifei can't edict people back from other places for trivial matters.

Qing Wang was very depressed and increasingly thought that Yu Yu had made arrangements. Is it just to guard against him?

So I became more suspicious that the emperor had other plans.

And the day will soon come to celebrate the Ten-Year Lantern Festival.

This day of the last life was the time when Yijing and Yu Yu were killed.
