Chapter 240 The Fish that Leaks from the Net
Wu Qimai was wise and wanted to leave the throne to his son. It was not that he did not know that this idea of breaking the tradition of virgins would deeply touch the ** nerves of the conservative virgin nobles. But as a father, he will still firmly follow his will.
Wanyan was originally a fiercely popular candidate for the next Jurman emperor. Of course, his greatest wish is to sit in that position, so when he knows that he is hopeless and may be in danger of his life at any time, the anger in his heart can be imagined.
When he returned from the last defeat in the Central Plains and was placed under house arrest by Wu Qimai on this pretext, he knew that if he wanted to survive, he must kill Wu Qimai, but Wu Qimai, as the emperor and the highest ruler of Jurchens, no matter his strength and prestige, was not comparable to him.
What should I do?
Wanyan, who was unwilling to appoint, pretended to obey while secretly aiming at Wu Qimai.
By chance, when he learned that Gao Qing, one of Wu Qimai's most trusted counselors, was dissatisfied with Wu Qimai because of his love at the time of his opposition, he began to reason and know the benefits. In this way, he took down Gao Qing, a capricious villain in a short time, becoming the most hidden person beside Wu Qimai. A secret chess piece..
Since you have changed your master, you have to plan for the new master in order to get the best benefit for yourself. Therefore, after scum among the Han people, the two devils in the real woman, finally thought of the classic case of usurpation, which was called the "candlelight axe shadow" of the ancient mystery at the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The biggest feature of the "candlelight axe shadow" is that there is no need to use a large army or create any momentum to achieve the purpose of usurpation without the knowledge.
Wu Qimai has not yet established a prince, so once he dies, the position should be extremely strong and complete.
As soon as this plan was proposed, it was immediately praised by Wanyan and began to implement it.
People have shortcomings and needs, so with the help of Gao Qingyi, Wanyan took no effort to deal with the leader and eunuch around Wu Qimai.
After all the preparations are completed, there will be this golden version of the "candlelight axe shadow"
Wu Qimai died silently and unclearly. Then Wanyan Gao secretly left the palace with the help of the leader's eunuch and Gao Qingyi, as if he had been here before.
And the next thing is much simpler. The emperor died, and his sons were still young and had no ability to turn things over. Although the father died suddenly, he has been sick in bed recently, and it seems that it is not impossible to die suddenly, so they can only bury their doubts in their hearts.
Although the ministers also doubt it, what's the use of doubting? Jurchen has a system of female real women, that is, the country can't be ownerless for a day, and everything else has to be tolerated, so the ministers stood in front of Wu Qimai's corpse to succeed to the throne.
Wanyan has always been hiding well, so although the ministers are suspicious, they didn't expect that it would be his own hands?
Wanyan, who fulfilled his long-cherished wish, did not immediately show his fangs. The first intention was to kill all the imperial doctors and palace eunuchs who served Wu Qimai. The charge was that they neglected the emperor's illness and led to the emperor's premature death.
The eunuch leader was promoted to the general manager of the harem, and Gao Qing entered the Privy Council. In addition, the garrison in Zhongdu was also adjusted, and his original subordinates were transferred to Zhongdu, and the general loyal to Wu Qimai was transferred from Gyeonggi in various names.
After arranging these, Wanyan made an order to hold a state funeral for Wu Qimai.
Is this the end of the matter? Of course not.
Wu Qimai's sons are still young and do not have a deep understanding of conspiracy and tricks, and his harem also lacks a master. In addition to sighing their lives and worrying about the future situation, they don't know what to do.
But some people don't think so. This person is Wanyan Baokang, because he was also in the palace that day. Especially after recalling the strange scenes he met in the palace that day, he knew that the death of the emperor was not that simple.
Wan Baokang's father is Wanyan Zonghan, so although Gao Qing had the idea of killing Wanyan Baokang, he did not dare to act rashly for a while.
Wan Yan Baokang is not a child. Of course, he can feel the threat from the emperor Wanyan.
The emperor died, and as a minister, he needed to worship the spirit every day. However, the next day, Wanyan Baokang said that he would not be sick.
How can the son not guard the spirit of the former emperor? After receiving the news, Wanyan Zonghan paid homage to Wu Qimai, he came directly to find his son.
Wanyan Baokang refused to go to the palace. First, he was afraid of danger, and then he wanted to find his father, so that the two could hide their words.
When he arrived at the place where his son lived and saw that his son was not sick, Wanyan Zonghan frowned. Before asking, his son knocked out his men, then jumped up and closed the doors and windows, and then came to him with a solemn look.
"Ama saves me"
Time is tight, and Wanyan may send someone to call him into the palace at any time, so Wanyan Baokang told his father what he had seen and heard before.
After listening to his son's words, Wanyan Zonghan couldn't help taking a deep breath. He also doubted the cause of the emperor's death, but he didn't think about it at all. If everything was true to his son said, his son would be really dangerous.
Wanyan Zonghan was also idle at home because of the defeat in the Central Plains, but he had helped Wu Qimai at a critical moment, so he has always been a saint. So this is also an old and cunning figure.
He pondered for a moment, "What's my son's plan?"
"I plan to go to the Central Plains to find Ke'er's sister and ask Song Qing to send troops to avenge the emperor's uncle"
Wanyan Baokang's eyes sparkled with hatred. Wu Qimai treated him like a son, and he has always been friends with Ke'er's sister and brother. If this matter is so silent, his conscience will be unbearable.
Wanyan Zonghan couldn't help but be stunned. According to his idea, he sent his son to the army of his former subordinates. With the protection of the army, Wanyan did not dare to do it easily.
But after his son said this, he also woke up. Can his son hide in the army and avoid the first year of junior high school? But it seems unreasonable to let his son lead Liangshan to attack his own country.
When hesitating, he suddenly heard the report from his subordinates. His Majesty heard that the young prince was sick and sent a royal doctor to treat the young prince.
"Ama..."
Wanyan Baokang pulled his father's sleeve and pleaded.
Between family affection and loyalty, Wanyan Zonghan finally chose family affection.
He said in a low voice, "The people in Wanyan Lou's room are still outside the city. Ama will immediately send someone to send you out of the city, but you still have to wait there. Ama will find a way to get one of the son of the former emperor, so that our family can also be the same as the previous emperor."
Wanyan Zonghan's military style, do it as soon as he says. At the same time as ordering people to stabilize the royal doctor, he disguised his son and escorted his confidant family out of the city.
Then after sending the imperial doctor away, he went to the palace to explain to Wanyan.
In fact, Wanyan Bao did not feel that Wanyan Baokang could pose any threat to him. Moreover, Wanyan Zonghan did not give it for nothing. He moved his son Wanyan Baokang, and Wanyan Zonghan was willing to give up?
However, Wanyan Gao also agrees with the saying that Gao Qingyi killed people and killed people and eradicated the roots. If you want to stabilize this position, you must eliminate all hidden dangers.
As the saying goes, there is no family affection in the heavenly family. Now it is Wanyan Baokang. The next is the children of Wu Qimai. Anyone who can threaten his status will be eliminated.
I didn't wait for the news from the imperial doctor, but when Wanyan Zongwang came, a bad feeling suddenly surged up in Wanyan's heart. However, I don't know what the problem is now, so I ordered Wanyan Zonghan to meet him.
It turned out that the two met as brothers, but now they suddenly become kings and ministers. It is inevitable that both of them are a little strange in their hearts, but fortunately it is not the first time to see a ceremony.
Wanyan Zonghan was about to give a gift to Wanyan, but he was pulled by Wanyan.
"My brother, there are no outsiders now, so there is no need to have so many gifts. I heard that Kang'er is sick? I don't know if it's better?"
Wanyan said hypocritically while pulling Wanyan Zonghan to sit down.
Wan Yan Zonghan scolded the hypocrite in his heart, but he had to say in fear: "I came to plead guilty to your majesty for the dog's matter"
"Oh! What's wrong with Kang'er? He is not a child anymore. Why does Brother Wang come to plead guilty for him?
"Alas! The family is unfortunate! How can I have such a worry-free son? Your Majesty doesn't know anything, and I don't know who told the beast that this season is suitable for hunting bears, so he slipped away from home early in the morning behind my back. I also just received the letter. Now I have sent someone to look for it outside the city. When I find this beast, I will definitely break his leg to see if he dares to run around?"
What the old fox Wanyan Zonghan said was also full of emotion, with a look of hatred.
It turns out that Wanyan Baokang is not at home. Wanyan Baokang has already heard of Wanyan Baokang's reputation as a dage, so it seems that there is nothing wrong with Wanyan Zonghan to say so.
Wanyan Zonghan, a veteran in the army, still wants to win over the ground.
He smiled and said, "I still think it's a big deal. When he comes back and teaches him well, he must not be punished too much. Well, I have to meet a few tribal leaders, so I won't leave you."
"Old minister obeys the order"
Wanyan Zonghan secretly wiped his sweat, and then bowed down and retreated.
Looking at Wanyan Zonghan's back, Wanyan's eyes were instantly covered with a layer of haze and gently patted his palm. Gao Qing's descendants flashed out behind like a ghost.
"Send someone to monitor his mansion, Wanyan Baokang comes back and immediately enters the palace"
"The slave receives the decree
Gao Qing's descendants still look like that, but when they saw the emperor, they changed their words to be slaves. Of course, with his head down, he couldn't see the murder in Wanyan's eyes, but he didn't know who the murder was aimed at?
There are too many facts Wanyan has to do now. Just now, a group of virgin nobles came to worship Wu Qimai, and he was about to take this opportunity to contact them.
After Wanyan Gao talked with these virgin nobles for a short time, he suddenly saw Gao Qingyi coming back with a solemn face.
Because there were outsiders present, Wanyan was not easy to ask, but Gao Qing couldn't wait. He quickly came to his side and said a few words in a low voice that only two people could hear.
But when he saw Wanyan stand up suddenly, looked at Gao Qingyi and said in shock, "Is this true?"
