On the first night in Yunshui Villa, Lin Sui had a good night's sleep.
Not only because of teasing the puppy, Yan Qin's reaction when he found out the truth of some things was also very pleasing to him.
What's more, what he wants to see will happen soon in this villa.
On the third day of sheltering from the cold in Biezhuang, the emperor suddenly fell into a coma.
Concubine Yue was by his side at that time, and when Lin Sui arrived, her face turned pale with fright.
Concubine Yue is also an old man in the palace. The main reason for her enduring honor and favor is that she has no heirs, and her father is the emperor's confidant.
If the emperor suddenly had an accident in this place, and she was the only one accompanying the emperor, then after she returned to the palace, she would face the imperial concubine and the concubines without dying.
The accompanying imperial physician arrived soon, and after making a diagnosis and treatment, he wrote a prescription and said vaguely: "Your Majesty has worked hard on court affairs, and the wind and cold have entered his body recently, so he passed out. Just take a few more pills and you'll be fine."
Concubine Yue felt that the imperial physician's expression was different. She was now the highest-ranking concubine accompanying her, so she ordered everyone else to go out so as not to disturb the imperial physician's injection.
Naturally, Lin Sui would not leave, and King Qing did not intend to leave either. Yan Qin had been following Lin Sui like a tail, so Lin Sui did not leave, and neither did he.
"Physician Liu, tell me clearly, why did the father suddenly become unconscious?"
Lin Sui's eyes fell on the imperial physician, his eyes dim.
Of course Lin Sui understood the real reason, he had asked Zhong Zhuo to light incense for the emperor that day, but the incense was not ordinary, it would only conflict with the medicine the emperor had been taking for a long time, and had no effect on other people.
The emperor's playful flower, the first day he took a bath with several concubines, and yesterday he was lingering with several young and beautiful women Zhong Zhuo presented. With such a heavy workload, he would be in a coma if he didn't.
The emperor seems to be fine now, but his body has long been hollowed out by the drugs and the chronic poison that the jade concubine infected him, just like a tree that looks lush on the outside but has been worm-eaten in the inside.
It only needs to be kicked by someone at a certain time, and the tree will crash to the ground.
"Your Majesty, he..."
King Qing frowned and asked, "Emperor Liu, why are you hesitating? If your father makes any mistakes, I will only ask you!"
It is rare for King Qing to speak harshly. He is afraid that he is the one who least wants the emperor to die, because the crown prince has not been abolished. Ascending to the throne is treason.
"Your Majesty's health is indeed fine, but he has had too much intercourse recently, so..."
Imperial Physician Liu said these words bravely. After all, the reason for the coma was really embarrassing for the emperor.
The few people in the room were silent for a moment, Yan Qin still had an innocent look, but he had already connected all these in his heart.
Zhong Zhuo belongs to the prince, so everything in front of him is clear.
Regarding the situation of his father, Yan Qin didn't care at all. On the contrary, he was more agreeable to Lin Sui. It would be better for the emperor to leave this world earlier.
Yan Qin had long given up the idea of seizing power and assuming the throne of God, he was not interested in this position at all, he didn't want to be Lin Sui's enemy, he just wanted to be his favorite person.
King Qing heaved a sigh of relief, but he was also very dissatisfied with the fact that the emperor had become more and more addicted to beauty and pampered treacherous men in the past two years.
But no matter how dissatisfied he is, there is nothing he can do, all he can do now is wait, and on the other hand, he has to have a chat with the imperial concubine, his mother is too cruel, and even has the idea of poisoning his biological mother.
King Qing grew up under the strict guidance of the imperial concubine, so he was very dependent on the love and care of his biological mother.
But the estrangement and fear are not limited to that. King Qing is also worried that the imperial concubine will use her power to hijack his behavior when she becomes the empress dowager. Secretly beware of the people inside.
Therefore, when he looked at the prince who had left, he felt envious and jealous. If he was the prince, why bother to fall into such a predicament
This world is so unfair, but let a fool have such a good background.
Feeling the scrutiny, Yan Qin subconsciously turned his head, seeing King Qing's expression, turned his head with some disdain in his heart.
His elder brother, Asui, is both talented and beautiful, and has extraordinary strategies. How can these ordinary people be compared with him
He asked sweetly and innocently: "Brother Prince, what is sexual intercourse?"
"Are two of you sleeping together? Then I want to have sex with you too!"
His elation was undisguised, and he expressed his desire and expectation in the simplest words.
Lin Sui glanced at him, are you addicted to this trick
He looked at Yan Qin with a half-smile and said: "Whoever said that sex is two people sleeping, if you like it, I can give you a few rewards, speaking of which, you have reached this age."
Speaking of this, Lin Sui suddenly thought of what he heard about that senior's soul refining when he was in the cultivation world.
Because of a bottleneck in his cultivation, which gave birth to a demon, his soul was divided into two halves for experience, and he almost slept forever in the place of soul refining.
Fortunately, Yan Qin will not make such a mistake. He is already in a dangerous state of remnant soul, and it will be very difficult to split.
"But I just want to sleep with the prince brother."
Yan Qin muttered in a low voice, pulled Lin Sui's sleeve, but did not bring up the topic again.
He was worried that Lin Sui would think of other places. After all, Lin Sui was eighteen and could have a concubine long ago.
It's just strange to say that there is no one around him, except Fu Shu and the eunuch named Liu Zhonghai.
Yan Qin suddenly became vigilant, and when he went back, he saw that Liu Zhonghai's eyes were not right.
Liu Zhonghai murmured in his heart, but he didn't think much about it.
After the emperor woke up, he was a little embarrassed and angry because of the reason for his coma. Naturally, he didn't think it was his own problem, but only that it was someone else's problem.
Before Zhong Zhuo faced his anger, he quickly flattered and said something nice, which probably meant that the emperor was busy with state affairs, even if he came to avoid the cold, he did not forget to worry about the country and the people, which was why he was so tired.
Zhong Zhuo also brought up a case about an official occupying land privately and raising taxes. He also specifically mentioned that this official was most likely related to the princelings.
The emperor's anger was immediately diverted, and his face was saved, so he became more confident, and he could find trouble with Shang Shuling by the way, killing two birds with one stone, and he immediately ordered Zhong Zhuo to investigate the matter.
What Zhong Zhuo mentioned was not a frame-up, and the official's brother-in-law was indeed a core member of the princeling party.
Of course, this matter was ordered by Lin Sui. He didn't want to cut off his own wings, but he didn't need double-faced people in his power who were holding back.
Shang Shuling doesn't want to touch this person, so he can naturally use other people's hands to deal with this matter.
The group of them sheltered from the cold in Yunshui Villa for half a month, and then set off for the palace.
Lin Sui specifically told Concubine Yu not to pester the emperor when she returned, and to not follow the path of a demon concubine for the time being, but to adopt a gentle and caring style.
After the emperor returned, he would definitely rest for a period of time, after all, his body was almost unable to hold on.
As he expected, the emperor really worked hard after returning home. He stayed in the imperial study and did not enter the harem. He only occasionally ate with his concubines and looked after his children.
Lin Sui is waiting, his layout has been formed, and his knife can fall at any time, but he is still waiting for a good news.
He didn't plan to start after Yan Qin came of age, it would be too long, and he couldn't wait until September next year.
According to the time in the original book, next year's autumn hunting will be the time when Yan Qin "recovers" his mind. It's a pity that the emperor's body may not be able to survive next year's autumn hunting.
Lin Sui played with the falcon whistle in his hand, smiling.
In December, it was freezing cold.
In the pavilion of the East Palace, the charcoal fire was burning vigorously, and it was as warm as spring.
Yan Qin sat beside Lin Sui, watching Lin Sui and Zhou Yun play chess.
A person's chess style can actually more or less reflect a person's character.
Zhou Yun laid down his chess very safely, thoughtful and thoughtful at every step, while Lin Sui's chess seemed to have no rules, but it was extremely oppressive, making people realize that he had fallen into a trap and was strangled to death after a while.
"The minister lost again. Your Highness is superb in chess, and the minister is hard to match."
Zhou Yunfang looked at his lifeless chess piece and was convinced.
This lord's chess style is extraordinarily tricky. If you study his personality and strategies carefully, you will feel a little shuddering.
However, Zhou Yunfang didn't need to delve into it. For a subordinate, the master who followed him was extremely powerful, which was a guarantee of safety.
"You're not bad either. How's General Mao doing? How's your health these days?"
Zhou Yunfang nodded. The leader of the marching team he was in was General Mao, the second son of Old General Mao.
Lin Sui played with the smooth chess pieces, and asked with a faint smile, "Where is Miss Mao?"
Zhou Yunfang blushed a little, he hesitated and said: "I don't know about the affairs of the girl's family."
Lin Sui didn't joke anymore, he just felt that things like fate were indeed elusive.
Since Miss Mao left the palace last time, General Mao specially thanked him in private.
Although Mao Guqing is the daughter of a general, she doesn't like to wield knives and guns, she is a pampered young lady.
The last time he asked Zhou Yunfang to take Mao Guqing out of the East Palace, the two had an intersection.
Mao Guqing probably had a good impression of Zhou Yunfang, and General Mao even took a special look at him.
In the original book, Mao Guqing was also Zhou Yunfang's wife, but things were not as smooth as they are now.
Zhou Yunfang went through a lot of ups and downs. After exile and rebellion, he was brought back to Beijing by Yan Qin and became a fierce general of Yan Qin. At that time, the old general Mao had passed away, and the Mao family was in turmoil. Mao Guqing struggled to support the Mao family. She also has to face a husband who is soft on food and hard on concubines and domestic violence.
Zhou Yunfang acted righteously when Mao Guqing was bullied, and helped Mao Guqing save his cousin who was suffering. Mao Guqing gained courage, wrote the letter of reconciliation and divorce, and wrote the pleadings, driving his ex-husband out of the house and turning him over to the government.
The two people who have suffered a lot in life finally come together and live a very happy life.
Liu Zhonghai, who came from outside in the wind and snow, freed Zhou Yunfang from the embarrassing and shy environment, and quickly poured him a cup of tea.
Liu Zhonghai was flattered to thank him, and didn't bother to drink the cup of tea. After saluting Lin Sui, he reported the good news he brought.
"Your Highness, Jade Concubine is pregnant for about two months."
Lin Sui put down the teacup, stretched his brows and eyes with joy, and said, "Let her inform the emperor that the end of the year is approaching, how can there be no happy event in the palace?"
"The slave is going here."
"Let her watch carefully, and make no mistake."
"Yes."
Liu Zhonghai bowed to leave, but was stopped by Lin Sui again.
"Drink this cup of tea before leaving."
Lin Sui looked gentle. He is in a good mood now, and he is not stingy with showing care to his subordinates.
Yan Qin on the side looked at Liu Zhonghai vigilantly, feeling sore in his heart, does the prince brother really like this one
Liu Zhonghai shuddered inexplicably, thinking that maybe the wind outside was too strong.
Naturally, this chess game is no longer being played, Zhou Yunfang looked at Lin Sui, waiting for his next order.
In fact, he didn't quite understand why the master had to wait until the jade concubine was pregnant before preparing to act. After the master ascended the throne, the future emperor should be his child.
But you can't think about it carefully. If you think about it, you can think that the master has no one around now. It's better for the subordinates not to ask about this kind of private matter of the master.
Zhou Yun put his warrior's head aside, he doesn't think too much except when fighting, he just does what his master says.
Yan Qin also didn't understand why Lin Sui planned to conceive Jade Concubine. He had some guesses in his heart, but he didn't think much about it because he was afraid that his idea would fail.
"Contact your grandfather after you leave the palace and tell him that it's time to prepare."
"Yes!"
Lin Sui looked at the chess game that hadn't been disrupted just now, the black pieces were surrounded by the white pieces, and in the end there was only one breath left, and now two steps away from the breath, the white pieces were already waiting there.
So before Zhou Yunfang's black chess fell, he declared that he had surrendered.
"Where do you think this black piece can go?"
Lin Sui rested his chin and looked at Yan Qin beside him, his face full of interest.
Yan Qin knew that Lin Sui was not testing him, but was sharing the joy of the upcoming victory.
From his position, he can actually only see a corner of the chessboard, just as he is in a chess game and cannot see all of Lin Sui's plans.
"It seems to be the only way to get down here."
Yan Qin pretended not to understand, and played the black chess at the only opening, and the white chess was blocked no matter whether it could be played or not.
"That's right, he can only go this way. Unless the chessboard is overturned, he will only have a dead end."
"When I am an opponent, this is the only end."
Lin Sui threw up the white chess piece, and the chess piece landed steadily on the blank space.
With a raised hand, the overall situation has been decided.
Outside the pavilion, there is a vast expanse of snow, and the young Chujun sits lazily, showing his sharpness.
That proud leisure is like a god who takes life and death.
Yan Qin stared at him obsessively, full of infatuation.
He knew that he too needed to change.
Staying by Lin Sui's side with the current posture, although it can win a temporary closeness, it is not a long-term solution.
A person who pursues power always looks upwards, and only the strong are enough to enter his eyes and make him want to conquer.
The news that the concubine Yu was happy really made the emperor happy for a while, because the concubine Yu had lost a child, so he cared more about this one.
Other people in the palace have their own attitudes, the concubines below are envious of Yu Concubine's good luck and the favor she has received, while the Imperial Concubine and De Concubine don't care much.
Unless Yu Concubine's children can grow to be twenty years old overnight, there is no threat to them.
This year's Spring Festival was so lively, Lin Sui bent his lips amidst the lights.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the lively Shangyuan Festival.
At night, the emperor stayed at the imperial concubine's place. The imperial concubine just took off her clothes and was about to have some intimacy with the emperor when the emperor suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and sprayed it on her face.
Afterwards, the emperor coughed up blood, and the imperial concubine hurriedly called for the imperial physician. It didn't take long for the news of the emperor to vomit blood to spread throughout the palace and even outside the palace.
Lin Sui was already fully dressed and walked out in a leisurely manner. Before entering the room, he put on a false mask of worry and hurried in.
The scene was chaotic for a while, the imperial concubine wiped off the blood stains on her face, and urged the imperial doctor to save her.
The imperial concubine and concubine De were very anxious, hoping that the emperor would open his eyes quickly or say something, but the emperor just closed his eyes and twitched and vomited blood from time to time, his face became more and more pale.
The imperial physicians of the imperial hospital were sweating their foreheads and trying to treat him, but the emperor's physical decline was far beyond their imagination. When the sky was about to dawn, the doctor was feeling his pulse and knelt on the ground with a gray face.
"Your Majesty... died."
The imperial concubine took a deep breath and was on the verge of falling.
Concubine De was also pale, and fell weakly on the chair.
They looked at the calm-looking prince together. Now that they have reached this point, no one needs to cover up.
"Is it you! You actually..."
"What did you say, imperial concubine? Father died of a sudden illness in your palace. I haven't suspected that you did it."
Lin Sui said slowly, looking at Concubine Yue who was in a daze.
"What is the concubine Yue thinking about, but thinking about the decree of the abolished reserve?"
In fact, the emperor had already written down the imperial decree to abolish the reserve, and left himself behind. He was suspicious by nature. In fact, even the eunuchs around him didn't fully believe it, so he put this imperial decree in the harem.
He neither gave it to the imperial concubine nor placed it with the concubine De, but placed it with the concubine Yue who had been by his side for many years.
Everyone looked at Concubine Yue one after another, Concubine Yue's eyes were terrified.
No one should know about this except Your Majesty and her, how could the prince know
And since the prince said so, it means that he is already sure.
Concubine Yue opened her mouth, her teeth chattered and said, "I can't understand what the prince is talking about."
Even though she wanted to hide it, everyone had already gotten the answer from her reaction just now.
The imperial concubine looked at Lin Sui in disbelief, and thumped the table bitterly.
King Qing still looked at Lin Sui in disbelief, feeling that everything in front of him was extremely absurd.
How could this be... Why did earth-shaking changes suddenly occur
Not to mention the seventh and eighth princes, he was only fifteen years old, and he hadn't even started to get involved in the affairs of the court, and his expression was even more confused.
"Master Zhong, Master Xue, you all heard me!"
King Qing immediately looked at the emperor's close ministers standing in the room, apart from Zhong Zhuo and Xue Dingchun, they were Shang Shuling and the three Taiwei.
Zhong Zhuo looked sad and said: "Before His Majesty left, many ministers praised His Highness the Crown Prince."
Xue Dingchun looked complicated, the situation was clear now, he sighed, kowtowed to the dead emperor on the bed, and did not speak.
The imperial concubine had spent so many years of hard work, and couldn't help scolding: "You talk nonsense, you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you have been against him for so long, what do you think you can end up with?"
At this moment, they hadn't realized that Zhong Zhuo was actually the prince's man, thinking that this treacherous man just wanted to survive and please the future emperor in advance.
At this time, a voice sounded in the room, with some artificial crying.
"Father has passed away, what should we do in the future, don't those grown-ups like to say that a country cannot live without a king?"
"Your Highness Chujun, please ascend the throne as soon as possible and take control of the government. His Highness Fifth is right, a country cannot live without a king for a day."
Shang Shuling knelt down in the direction of Lin Sui, followed by Zhong Zhuo, and the two princeling captains also knelt down hastily.
The other captain and Xue Dingchun looked at each other for a while, then knelt down helplessly.
Unless Concubine Yue can come up with the imperial decree to abolish the reserve, the outcome is already set.
Concubine Yue immediately returned to the palace regardless of other things. When she looked at the bright yellow scroll with no words on it, she burst into tears.
With the change of the Shangyuan Festival, no one in the Manchu Dynasty, civil and military, could sleep peacefully.
Pei Xiannian sighed deeply when he heard the news that the palace chariot was driving away from the palace.
After all, it was Qin'er who didn't have this blessing. Before he "recovered" his mind, the ending was already here.
Now it is better to continue to swallow your anger, if it is exposed at this time, it will inevitably be regarded as a thorn in the side of the prince.
Pei Xiannian had such plans in his heart, completely unaware that his good grandson was planning to take off his disguise at any time.
Great changes overnight, the palace has a new owner.
The next day when he went to court, Lin Suiling came to the throne, acted as an agent of the imperial power, and began to observe filial piety.
He methodically arranged the burial, posthumous title, offering sacrifices to the Taimiao Temple, and held the enthronement ceremony after twenty-seven days of filial piety.
After Lin Sui ascended the throne, he changed his year name to "Yuanqing".
The former princelings in the DPRK and the current imperial party are naturally beaming, and everyone else has their own objections.
Shang Shuling first suggested that he balance the power and slowly remove the power of other parties. Lin Suicai didn't care about this. He didn't become emperor to restrain his hands and feet.
The new emperor took office with three fires, Lin Sui first set fire to King Qing's party, second set fire to Defei's party, and third set fire to Zhong Zhuo.
Zhong Zhuo was still dreaming of his favorite minister, but he woke up in a blink of an eye. He didn't even have a chance to refute. The evidence of corruption was in front of everyone, and there was no escape.
Lin Sui is not afraid that he will bite back, this kind of chess piece is not qualified to bite back at all.
Lin Sui sent the woman who became the imperial concubine to the imperial mausoleum to pray for the emperor, and sent the concubine De to the temple to listen to scriptures. King Qing, the seventh prince and eight princes were all granted fiefdoms and distributed to various places.
As for the fifth prince, the new emperor took pity on his lack of intelligence and specially allowed him to stay in the palace.
His methods are like thunder, and no one can refute them.
After taking office, he made drastic reforms, strengthened the centralization of power, abolished the Taiwei, and set up a cabinet, as if he wanted to turn the court into his own one.
The courtiers remonstrated one after another, and Lin Sui showed the violent side of his character.
"If you don't listen, kill them all."
Now Lord Lin, who is an official worshiping scholar of the palace, does not agree with this kind of behavior, and Lin Sui glanced at him lightly.
"Grandpa, it's hard to be a benevolent king, but it's very easy to be a tyrant. I'm not as useless as my father, and I have to rely on others to make a living."
This is beating, love points belong to love points, and power belongs to power.
The emperor of the world would not care about the ants under his feet who tried to shake his status.
Lord Lin still harbors that secret in his heart, the emperor in front of him is not a secret of the orthodox blood of the royal family.
But the young emperor in front of him didn't care, he was vigorous and intimidating, full of might.
When he left the Imperial Study Room, Lord Lin's body was a little bent.
The steps in front of the Golden Luan Hall were stained with blood over and over again, and the voice of rebuttal became smaller and smaller.
Of course, Lin Sui will not let the court be shrouded in this kind of cloud all the time, the rewards that should be rewarded, the punishments that should be punished, those moths have been pulled out by Lin Sui, they don't need to be too concerned, and he is happy to stay Get off this flex space.
When the water is clear, there will be no fish. As long as there are people, there will be benefits, and it is impossible to be clean.
This year happened to be the day of the scientific examination. Lin Sui abolished some unreasonable policies, issued many new policies that benefited the country and the people, and vigorously encouraged the development of talents.
The courtiers all felt that, in fact, this seems to be not bad, especially Xue Dingchun's feeling.
He originally thought that he should be relegated, after all, he had impeached the emperor who was still a prince before, but the emperor still reused him, and he appreciated the court environment and some policies very much.
Xue Dingchun didn't care about the change of imperial power, he just wanted to make the people of the world live better, he would support whichever emperor could make the people live better, even if the emperor was a bit more brutal.
As for the people in the world, they don't even care who the emperor in the capital is, they only care about how well they are doing.
When the leaves start to fall on the trees, the capital also enters autumn.
In the imperial study room, Fu Shu hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, the Fifth Highness just hit his head and is now unconscious!"
The author has something to say: Yan San: Let me see who is coming of age
Yan San: Oh, so it was me!
