"Yes!" Fu Yan sighed, "When did it start?"
"Since I secretly followed you to Mo's courtyard on the outskirts of the city, I started thinking about proving it myself."
Chen Heng has no fear. Since he was a child, he has felt that there is nothing to be afraid of, just like the epidemic in the Mo family in the suburbs.
"You also know about Ah Jiu's infection with the epidemic?" Fu Yan asked. He knew that it was Ah Jiu's bitter trick. In order to test all of them, he didn't expect Chen Heng to take advantage of it.
"I didn't know about it at first, but later I felt that this was a solution, so I got the chance."
Li Yu paced up to Chen Heng, "Do you know what the consequences of this are?"
"I just thought about it." Chen Heng looked up at him, "It should be that A Jiu's identity has been revealed, and then he can no longer be kept in the palace as an empress."
Fu Yan sighed, "You are smart after all, but you don't know the harshness of the court's criminal law!"
"Could it be that those old officials refused to let Ah Jiu go?"
He also looked at the Criminal Law of the Ministry of Punishment, but if Ah Jiu was pulled out, he should also be regarded as an offense to the emperor and deceived the people.
"Pretending to be the blood of the royal family and accepting the throne of the emperor is stealing the country; deceiving the officials and the people is stealing power, no matter which one they commit is a capital offense, let alone one, you will still be punished by capital punishment before you die, and you will be flogged after you die. the hearts of the people.”
Fu Yan spoke very slowly, but it was extremely cruel in the hearts of Chen Heng and Li Yu.
Li Yu knew about it, so he kept it secret, but Chen Heng didn't know. Smart, so what? The criminal law of the entire imperial capital has not been fully read.
"You won't let Ah Jiu go to such a state!" Chen Heng looked at Fu Yan with certainty, then turned to speak to Li Yu, "Neither would you!"
Chen Heng is absolutely right, these two people are people who put A Jiu at the top of their hearts, so how could they be willing to put A Jiu to death
But the two of them didn't get into how Chen Heng knew what they thought of A Jiu. Li Yu didn't say for the time being that people with eyes could see through it, but Fu Yan's thoughts towards A Jiu could be seen through by the people next to him. , but A Jiu was so stunned that she didn't know, so Shen Qing, who saw through it at first glance, and Chen Heng, who saw through it later, both sweated for her head.
Of course, Fu Yan didn't talk much about this matter in front of Chen Heng. He just said a few words and started talking about what he wanted to say.
"Heng'er, Your Majesty has been able to sit on this throne until now. I don't know how many people in the palace are hiding it together, but you have no idea how many people who are assisting His Majesty for the selfishness of the late emperor will be involved in this temptation!"
It was a pity for Fu Yan, even his expression was a little sad, Li Yu felt pitiful when he saw it, but he knew exactly what kind of person Fu Yan was, so he accepted the pitiful again.
"Ajiu is stupid, it's against their will for them to assist Ajiu."
This child, Chen Heng, has always spoken in an unobtrusive manner, and he does not know that it was handed over by the upright master.
"What if Your Majesty is not smart? What if it is against your will? But they still didn't say anything to the late emperor. They would rather assist His Majesty than tell this secret. This is loyalty to the late emperor."
Chen Heng stood silent and let Fu Yan talk to him.
When Fu Yan didn't speak, and Li Yu didn't speak anymore, Chen Heng said slowly, "I know what you mean by saying this today, it's not that you want to show that Ah Jiu already knows his identity, and is now investigating this in Xijun. Even if the entire court needed Ah Jiu in the future, she probably wouldn't come back.
And what you want to do is to give Ah Jiu a valid reason not to come back. For the entire imperial capital, His Majesty who is lying in this dormitory is still His Majesty. "
"Since I understand, there are some things, I will say it directly."
Fu Yan became serious, and even Li Yu stood respectfully, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to West County!"
Li Yu frowned, his hand holding the saber froze involuntarily, "If you go to Xi County at this time, there will be no one who can hold power in the entire imperial capital. Besides, my father is still suppressed, and the entire court will fall into doubt!"
"So..." Fu Yan hesitated, turning his eyes to Chen Heng, who was also looking at him, and then Chen Heng nodded to himself, "You want me to stay here. In the palace, replace the court for you."
"This...he's just a child, how can he?"
"He is a member of the Chen family, Prince Dun is behind him, and his mother is a second-rank female official in the court. If His Majesty is incapable of health and has a short time, it is reasonable and reasonable to issue a holy edict to appoint Chen Heng as the heir!"
"But I don't think it's as happy as you came here on behalf of the dynasty!" Although Li Yu and Fu Yan didn't get along well, whether secretly or on the surface, now he can stop fighting for the sake of Ah Jiu. It turns out that he also admires Fu Yan quite a bit. Talent is knowledge, and more importantly, he knows that Fu Yan is also a member of the Chen family.
"I represent the dynasty?" Fu Yan raised his head, with a smile in his eyes, "I'm not from the Chen family. At this time, he said that His Majesty was seriously ill, and Li Lao was under house arrest. Don't outsiders think that it was someone with a foreign surname who took me. The country of the Chen family?"
Li Yu lowered his head and said nothing. Fu Yan was right. He couldn't be involved in such a dangerous situation, but he couldn't explain his identity. If things went on like this, Ah Jiu might not even be able to come back.
"You only intend to designate me as the reserve, and I don't care about the political affairs next to me." Chen Heng has already agreed to Fu Yan's decision.
Fu Yan nodded, and then ordered Chen Heng to leave.
Chen Heng was also well-behaved. He left step by step. When he reached the door of the palace, he suddenly turned around. When Fu Yan and Li Yu felt doubtful, they asked the question in their hearts, "Is your surname Chen?"
Fu Yan and Li Yu were stunned for a while, but they didn't move for a long time. It turned out that Chen Heng had seen it through a long time ago.
The two of them didn't move for a long time, and Chen Heng probably had a bottom line in his heart.
Li Yu couldn't help but sighed: "Chen Heng is really the material of the prince. If he will become the emperor of Zheng Kingdom in the future, I am afraid that these old ministers will have to obey him."
Fu Yan just nodded slightly. It would be a pity that a child like Chen Heng would not be an emperor. The so-called living in the family of a royal family should have such a fate.
He turned his head and said to Li Yu, "Today's big thing can be considered to be spread out, and Li Lao's affairs are all settled. Tomorrow I will declare that I am unwell and withdraw from the court. When the time comes, Heng'er will take over the position. , only the holy edict and the Prince Dun behind him still need you to be the most powerful force behind Heng'er."
Li Yu's expression changed. It turned out that Fu Yan didn't intend to take him with him. On second thought, it was the same for Fu Yan. At least he was able to keep Ah Jiu safe, and Ah Jiu should have hoped to see him!
Li Yu sighed a little and looked directly at Fu Yan, "Forget it! I protect the imperial capital and you protect Ajiu Zhouquan, so that you can live up to the entrustment of the late emperor."
Fu Yan was slightly stunned. His relationship with Li Yu was not very good. Half of Li Yu's departure from the imperial capital was prepared by Fu Yan. When Li Yu came back, Fu Yan was also fighting for each other.
Although it can't be said that it has eased now, Li Yu was able to make such a big step backward. Although he has a bottom line in his heart, but now listening to him with his own ears, it is inevitable that he has a different mood. It was not until Li Yu nodded affirmatively again. Ease a little.
In this way, their agreement was reached.
Old Li's people were still staying in Xijun. Since they dared to attack in front of the entire Xijun, they would naturally do it ruthlessly. Fu Yan went to Xijun to find Ah Jiu, of course, to contain Old Li's people, while Li Yu stayed in the imperial capital. Anwei also protected Chen Heng.
Li Yu and Fu Yan left at the same time, but when they opened the door, they were startled by Wen Xiangxiang and Xiao Dezi who were sitting at the door.
Xiao Dezi hurriedly lay down on the ground to say hello, but Wen Xiangxiang was still sitting on the ground, then raised his head and looked at the two people standing tall, and said angrily: "I heard, you are going to Xijun!"
Fu Yan and Li Yu looked at each other and ignored him. He went straight out of the palace door, but Wen Xiangxiang rushed over and hugged his thighs from behind. He was a little short before he could see that he was struggling to hug his thighs. Wen Xiangxiang.
"That...that...can you take me and An Qianru with you! I haven't seen Ah Jiu for a long time!" As he spoke, he rubbed against the legs of the two of them, A look of anticipation.
In fact, neither of them planned to take Wen Xiangxiang with them, but they were so annoyed that they chose to take them with them. Of course, Fu Yan took them, and Li Yu was only in charge of the imperial capital.
According to the method of the two, Fu Yan was also rumored to have fallen on the second day. It is said that it was also caused by the epidemic. All the people could only sigh that the world is impermanent. Two powerful people in this dynasty have fallen. I don't know how this court will continue.
And when the ministers heard the news that day, they were called to the hall before they had time to think about it.
Under the dragon case were all the ministers. When the sovereign had not yet entered the hall, everyone could only speculate on the seriousness of the matter, and the entire hall was noisy for a while.
Outside the door, Xiao Dezi and Wen Xiangxiang almost didn't stop. The two were waiting for Li Yu, who arrived on the road, with the holy edict prepared by Fu Yan and a few people who had negotiated with them.
The people in the courtroom were terrifying, but Wen Xiangxiang and Xiao Dezi stuck to the red door for a long time before they could hear what they said.
"These two sovereign people have fallen, and this court is going to be chaotic."
Another slightly regrettable voice sounded, "Isn't it? It's okay for His Majesty to fall. Due to Lao Lao's troubles yesterday, this King Huai Jin also fell, and now he has called us to the court. Come on, I don't know why?"
"I'm wondering too! The late emperor was just such a daughter, and now she's an empress, but she's only eighteen years old, and the harem has not yet established a monarch. Who will you give it to in the future?"
"How can it be possible? This huge palace doesn't even have an imperial physician to treat epidemics?"
"It will be delayed for half a month? After all, it is the country of the Chen family. Without an empress, there is still Prince Dun. We just need to be loyal."
In addition, there are still several voices echoing, but in the end they still can't say it. Even Xiao Dezi and Wen Xiangxiang, who were eavesdropping outside, felt it was a pity.
