Li Qianshun suddenly vomited blood and collapsed, which shocked everyone present. They immediately screamed and rushed forward. Even the King of Yue, who was held by the imperial army, struggled to break free, escaped from their control and rushed forward. , shouting "Father..."
However, the medical officers were pushed to the periphery by a few people because of their status. They were so anxious that they shouted repeatedly before someone reacted and quickly asked two anxious-looking imperial doctors to come to the emperor for examination. After watching them busy for a while, Mozhihe asked with a dark face: "Guys, what is going on? Why did the emperor's condition suddenly worsen?"
Several imperial doctors looked at each other, all with bitter expressions on their faces. After a while, someone said: "Zhongshu Ling and the two princes don't know something. The emperor's wind disease is the most unstimulating. Once the mood swings are too high, , which can easily aggravate the condition. Just now..." Just now, they had actually wanted to persuade everyone not to gather here and say words that could easily make the emperor angry. However, they were soft-spoken and had no qualifications to speak at all. They could only worry on the sidelines. Watching the emperor fall down in anger because of the various methods between his sons.
Only then did the King of Yue and others understand the whole story, and there was a sneer on their faces. It was hard to blame these imperial doctors anymore. Mo Chihe's face was even more solemn at this time. There were many problems inside and outside the palace. As a senior member of the court, he should stand up and take charge of the overall situation. The most important thing is how to deal with the King of Yue. The emperor just issued an order to take him down for questioning. Although he did not say how to deal with this son, his intention was already quite obvious.
While others were still in a daze, Mozhihe took a step back, and then shouted loudly: "What are you still doing? Take the King of Yue and take him into custody. We will make a decision after the emperor wakes up!" Naturally, he said this to the few bewildered Imperial Guards beside him.
After hearing his order, the two princes who were still playing the role of filial sons beside Li Qianshun immediately turned around. King Cao's eyes flashed with joy. Now the life or death of the prince is uncertain. Once the King of Yue is also taken down and questioned If so, does it mean that your chance to come forward has arrived
When he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the King of Yue, he found that there was no trace of panic on his face. There was even a hint of coldness and ridicule in his expression, and he looked back at Mo Chihe provocatively. Immediately, the expressions of Mo Chihe and King Cao also changed, because the imperial guards who were supposed to step forward were motionless at this time, as if they had never heard the order.
"You... this is the decree issued by the emperor just now. Do you want to resist the decree and rebel?" King Cao shouted loudly, but it was still in vain. The few people did not make any move like clay sculptures and wood sculptures. Mo Chihe's face quickly dimmed. He felt a little strange just now. It was too easy for the King of Yue to get rid of these people. Now it seems that they let him go on purpose!
"You... have already colluded with the Imperial Guards in the palace?" Mo Xihe finally asked with some difficulty after a while, still full of doubts in his heart. How could this be possible? The Imperial Guards were close associates of the emperor. How could the King of Yue easily To bribe them
"Zhongshu Ling, what you said is too unpleasant. The King of Yue is the emperor's own son. I'll wait to hear it."
Isn't it normal to act according to his wishes? "A person suddenly appeared outside the palace again, but he was no longer the chamberlain like before, but a tall and majestic middle-aged general with a helmet on his head and a sword hanging on his waist.
When he saw this person, there was even more disbelief in Mochihe's eyes. His reaction was even greater than when he saw that the imperial army did not take the King of Yue: "Helian Mingtang! How could you collude with the King of Yue?" ?" This change came so unexpectedly that even he couldn't accept it.
Judging from the information Mo Xiahe had previously obtained, the Helian family was absolutely loyal to the royal family. Helian Mingtang was the leader of the imperial guards in the palace. He had been guarding the safety of the palace and the emperor for decades, and his son Helian Jinshi is the most trusted and trusted person around the prince. Even though he and the prince were already at odds with each other, he never thought of instigating rebellion and bribed the Helian family for his own use.
But today, Helian Mingtang actually revealed his other identity. He was actually from the King of Yue? This is so unbelievable and terrifying. Does this mean that the life and death of the emperor has actually been in the hands of the King of Yue from a long time ago
If Sun Tu were here, he would surely be able to come to his senses. No wonder the King of Yue could easily take out the topographic map of the Prince's Mansion. Obviously, this was secretly given to him by the Helian family! In fact, after forming an alliance with the Helian clan, the emperor and the prince were already under his control!
"Your Majesty, all the palace doors have been closed. Now the inside and outside are isolated. Everything here is under our control." Helian Mingtang ignored Mo Xihe who looked surprised and asked him, and instead rushed to King Yue to salute and report.
The King of Yue nodded: "Uncle Lao Helian is responsible for everything." Then, he glanced at Mo Chihe and King Cao. As for the imperial doctors and chamberlains who were already standing beside him, he had already automatically ignored them.
After laughing for a moment, the King of Yue said: "What Zhong Shuling said is a little inappropriate. Uncle Helian and I are not called collusion, but cooperation, mutually beneficial cooperation. Because we both have the same ideals and hope that one day we can revitalize our country." The Dangxiang clan, instead of losing the roots of our Dangxiang people in order to balance the domestic forces like now!
"My father did have great ambitions back then, and he did make our Xia Kingdom rejuvenate and prosper, but during this period he also did many things wrong. For example, because he was worried that the tail would not be lost, he eradicated the eight parties one by one. Now only the fine seal is left. We still have military power in our hands, and even the Helian clan who are most loyal to us can only serve as palace guards. If this continues, will anyone be willing to be loyal to our Xia Kingdom in the future
"Anyway, I thought my father's move was inappropriate, so I secretly met with Uncle Helian and persuaded him to cooperate with me to correct the mistakes my father had committed. But I didn't expect that this matter would be revealed by the prince's people. I secretly realized that this is the reason why I have stayed in Dingzhou in the past few years and dare not fight with him.
"Actually, I did send Sun Qianli to the prince's house this time, but I only let him steal the relevant evidence, but I didn't let him actually attack the prince. But this person was beyond my control and assassinated the prince. Then I leaked those confidential things, and now I have no choice..."
He uncovered each mystery with his own hands, which shocked King Cao and Mo Xianhe again. Especially the former
, he thought that secretly cooperating with Xi Fengyun was an extremely clever method, but he didn't expect that his third brother's method was much more clever, and he had already taken both the prince and the emperor into his own hands!
Mo Chihe gave a wry smile, sighed and said: "I'm old, I'm really old. I thought you were just fighting in a small way, but I didn't expect you, King Yue, to be so far-sighted. It seems that you are determined to get this throne... only I wonder what you are going to do with this old bone of mine next?”
"Zhongshu Ling, do you know why there is such a result today? It's not because of my ability, Li Renyou, but because of the situation. It was the father and the prince who insisted on trying to make me Hanize the Western Dynasty as soon as possible, so they gave me the chance to reverse everything. opportunity. If the prince hadn't been obsessed with Chineseizing our Xiang people, which completely chilled the heart of the Helian family, Uncle Helian wouldn't have stood with me." The King of Yue looked at Mo Chihe gently: "Actually, Zhongshu Aren’t you thinking the same thing as me? Can’t you and I join forces to bring order to the chaos and make our Xia Kingdom truly embark on the path of self-improvement?”
Mo Xiahe was stunned at first. The other party would actually cooperate with him when he already had everything under control. Is the King of Yue really so generous and ambitious? But then, he realized that this was obviously a concession made by the King of Yue for the sake of the overall situation.
Although the emperor is now in a coma, the prince is seriously injured, and the palace is under his control. But as the king of Yue, if he really wants to control the entire Xingqing Mansion, he may still be unable to do so. You must know that most of the officials in the court are still loyal to the emperor, including the prince's people, his own people, and maybe others. King Cao's people... With so many hidden dangers outside, how could King Yue dare to do whatever he wants
But as long as you form an alliance with yourself, the situation is completely different. Mo Xiahe had a high status and power in the court. As long as he stood on his side, the King of Yue could easily take control of the political power in the court in a very short time. Don't worry about the emperor's condition by then, even if he woke up, he would be afraid. It is also difficult for the government to leave the palace.
As an ally, Mo Chihe can at least ensure that his own life is not in danger, and that his family's power will not fall. In addition, both sides had the same ideas at this time. Without thinking too much, he nodded with a smile: "What the King of Yue said is true. The top priority now is to stabilize the government and the opposition. The emperor is ill and the prince is assassinated. Now the government needs someone." A prince with outstanding ability and responsibility has stepped forward to take charge of the overall situation. I think the King of Yue is the most ideal candidate!"
As soon as he said this, it meant that he had surrendered to the King of Yue. After hearing this, King Cao Li Renxiao's face became even more ugly. He looked at King Yue uneasily, wondering what the other party would do to him...
"Second brother, since you care so much about my father's dragon body, I will have to take care of you in the palace during this period of time." After the King of Yue noticed the way the other party looked at him, he smiled softly and said, but he really didn't think about it. He had to kill his brothers for the throne. In fact, if Li Qianshun hadn't suddenly suffered a stroke and collapsed, he wouldn't have had the courage to take this step.
And now, with Helian Mingtang stating his position and Mo Xihe making another statement, the ambition that the King of Yue had hidden for many years was finally realized.
After an incident caused by Sun Tu, the Xia Kingdom's regime also experienced turmoil! This was obviously something he couldn't predict. But where will this chaos go next
