Emperor Chengyuan didn't waste a moment. When Chen Yan was still in the palace, he asked Fuhai to summon the princes and ministers. For a while, people were kneeling outside the palace.
When the prince and his wife arrived, the ministers seemed to be in a dream. Usually such a scene only happened when the emperor was about to die.
But His Majesty didn't just suffer from typhoid fever, so why did he die so quickly
Some ministers wanted to ask, but Wei Sushen didn't give them the chance and walked directly into the palace.
The door of the dormitory was closed again, isolating the inside and outside into two worlds. The night is getting darker and darker, and dense drizzles are falling in the sky.
Kneeling for a long time will inevitably make you feel uncomfortable. Some veterans don't care about this at all. Their eyes are like fire, staring at the door, as if they want to burn a hole in it to get a glimpse of what's going on inside.
With a 'squeak', the person who stepped out this time was the eunuch in charge.
His eyes looked a lot more weathered, and there was no need to disguise this. After being forgotten by Emperor Chengyuan several times, his soul had already been severely damaged.
All the changes had another meaning in the eyes of the minister, and his heart sank in unison... Your Majesty, maybe something is really bad.
The head eunuch glanced at the kneeling ministers, slowly opened the imperial edict, took a breath and began to read: "By the destiny of heaven, the emperor issued an edict: Since I came to the throne, I have been diligent in politics, but there are unforeseen circumstances... Today, my strength is not enough, but my son’s virtue is valuable..."
The edict was very long, and the minister hardly listened carefully to the rest of it. Just by listening to the beginning, he could tell that it was an edict to pass on the throne.
Everything happened too suddenly, and the ministers who were close looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
In the crowd, one person suddenly stood up and said, "Please meet with Your Majesty."
It was Li Yuan who stood up. No one present found it strange or even expected. His Majesty is in the prime of life, and the prince is not in the palace, so people have to suspect that he is trying to force him into the palace. Li Yuan was loyal to Emperor Chengyuan, so he wanted to confirm the authenticity of the edict.
The head eunuch nodded slightly in his direction: "His Majesty has ordered that if Mr. Li requests, he can face the Holy Spirit at any time."
Li Yuan smoothed the traces of kneeling on his official robe and followed the eunuch chief into the hall.
There was no deserted atmosphere in the hall. The candles were burning brightly. Emperor Chengyuan was lying on the dragon couch, with sweat on his forehead and a bad look on his face. He looked like he was seriously ill.
Emperor Chengyuan was satisfied with Li Yuan's actions. It showed his loyalty that the other party could propose a face-to-face meeting at this time.
"Your Majesty." Li Yuan called.
Emperor Chengyuan did not respond, as if he was too tired to even open his mouth.
Li Yuan did not take into account that the prince was also present and said straight to the point: "Your Majesty, if you are kidnapped, stick out your tongue."
The corner of Emperor Chengyuan's mouth twitched.
Fang Shan said understandingly: "This action is too difficult. You can blink your eyes instead."
Emperor Chengyuan coughed and finally spoke: "Li Aiqing, I'm not feeling well. This time I really hurt my vitality." He took a breath and said, "So I came up with a bold idea..."
While talking, Li Yuan actually walked to the dragon bed, raised his head and looked at the hanging sword intentionally or unintentionally: "I also have it."
“…”
The familiar conversation directly gave Emperor Chengyuan a knowing blow.
In history, the ministers of other emperors regarded the emperor as their heaven. Even if the emperor was seriously ill and left alone at the end of his life, he would kneel on the ground and shed tears to express that he would assist the prince and consolidate the mountains and rivers forever.
His ministers are good, they are either rude or threatening when they open their mouths.
Concealing his sadness, Emperor Chengyuan sat up and pointed out: "Prince An" while peeling an orange and eating it.
Li Yuan was worthy of being the emperor's confidant, and he immediately guessed what Emperor Chengyuan was planning.
"Your Majesty wants to force King An to rebel?"
The words were so straightforward that they seemed rude at all.
Emperor Chengyuan didn't care, he just corrected him: "The word 'force' is used in an inelegant way."
King An harbored evil intentions, and he could at best lure the snake out of its hole.
"I understand." Li Yuan didn't waste any words, and immediately expressed his attitude that he would cooperate with Emperor Chengyuan to continue the play.
Emperor Chengyuan ordered: "Quickly decide, and hint to the Ministry of Rites to keep everything simple."
Li Yuan nodded and retreated.
Emperor Chengyuan looked in the direction of the palace door and raised his brows: "Let the ministers disperse. Prince An must be busy with his work."
The night rain drenched the imperial city, and King An could hardly suppress the spark in his heart. After leaving the palace, he did not return home, but secretly went to see Princess Yuexiu.
"You shouldn't come at this time." Princess Yuexiu looked at the candlelight, her eyes flickering: "If someone finds out, the gain will outweigh the loss."
King An's smile was filled with confidence: "I found a man of similar stature as a substitute. From the outside, it seems that I have returned to my home."
It was only at this moment that Princess Yuexiu's eyes were filled with a smile: "Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty, and Emperor Chengyuan is no exception."
King An looked regretful, but of course this regret was not for Emperor Chengyuan: "That is indeed a rare beauty."
I remember that when he found this girl in the inn, he was almost mentally unstable. If he hadn't cared about the poison all over her body, he would have been unable to resist playing with her first.
The princess of Yuexiu Kingdom glanced at him: "I heard that the envoy has not been executed yet. On the day when the prince becomes the Ninth Five-Year Master, he hopes to let the envoy return home."
"This is natural." King An promised nonchalantly.
Princess Yuexiu smiled, got up and went to get a bottle of wine herself: "I wish you success in your great endeavor."
King An took it and drank it in one gulp: "I'd like to give you some good advice from the princess."
The princess of Yuexiu Kingdom lowered her head to drink with a trace of disdain flashing in her eyes. In terms of courage and structure, Prince An was not even remotely inferior to Emperor Chengyuan. No matter this, if such a person becomes emperor, the decline of the country will be inevitable sooner or later.
"Have the prince's men and horses been arranged?"
King An nodded: "We are already waiting outside the city, waiting for the day when the prince ascends the throne to kill him by surprise."
For some reason, Princess Yuexiu felt a little uneasy: "Chen Yan is also a problem."
King An sneered: "Far water cannot quench the near thirst. When he comes to Beijing this time, most of his troops will stay at the frontier to prevent the barbarians from making any changes. On the day of the ceremony, the prince and Chen Yan are the ones who must be killed."
As soon as the general dies, he will immediately support his men to take over.
The Princess of Yuexiu Kingdom breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, you are here today not just to have a night chat and drink with me?"
King An looked solemn: "How many useful people do the princess have?"
"What you said is interesting. Aren't all my people already taken to Dali Temple?"
Prince An smiled and said, "Didn't the medicine man stay at the inn? I thought the princess wouldn't put all the eggs in one cage."
The really useful people may not have stayed in the embassy in the first place.
Princess Yuexiu sneered inwardly. It seemed that Prince An was not completely brainless. At least he was thoughtful about dark and trivial matters.
There was a brief silence in the atmosphere, and King An continued: "I understand the princess's concerns, but we have to plan something big next, life or death. If I fail, the princess will not end well."
The princess of Yuexiu Kingdom remained silent, and it was unclear whether she had listened to these words. After a long time, she slowly sighed: "I can only use a hundred people, but each of them is one against ten."
King An heard the hesitation in her tone and suggested: "These one hundred people don't need to directly participate in forcing the palace. They only need to surround the East Palace."
The Crown Princess is pregnant and can be taken hostage if necessary.
Princess Yuexiu had obviously thought of this, and Chen Liuliu's hateful smiling face suddenly appeared in her mind. She nodded in agreement for some unknown purpose.
On September 16th, Emperor Chengyuan was officially crowned prince, and on the 18th, the enthronement ceremony was held.
In the East Palace, the dazzling morning glow casts a blazing color on the horizon. The bright yellow dragon robe shines in the morning sun, and the colorful embroidery threads on it are coated with a layer of golden light. The five-clawed golden dragon looks like it will break through the shackles at any time and rush towards the sky.
The already handsome man looked more imposing when he put on the dragon robe. Fang Shan was swept away by him, and he could see a bit of scorn for the world.
"Not bad," he commented with satisfaction: "I knew I should have taken on this kind of mission earlier. The host is naturally matched with the dragon robe."
Fang Shan occasionally likes to play a delicate and artificial image, but in fact there is no pretentiousness at all. Wei Sushen also has this trait. For them, they don't feel that they are too high up. If I really want to use the words of System 666 to describe it, there is only one word: cool.
What's so cold about being so high? It's been colder than this for ten years.
Nine is the ultimate. After the bells and drums rang nine times, Wei Sushen stood under hundreds of steps. The civil and military officials had been waiting for a long time and stood on both sides. No matter what they were thinking in their hearts, they had just the right amount of respect on their faces.
Wei Sushen walked steadily, stepping up to the high-level step by step in front of countless eyes. The courtiers were moved by the majesty of the young emperor. Wei Sushen's face was expressionless, and his inner thoughts were very simple: Why didn't King An rebel
Climbing up the stairs is a laborious task, especially since each level of the stairs is very short, so you have to worry about etiquette and go up slowly. When Wei Sushen's patience was about to run out, an inappropriate voice finally sounded: "Wait a minute!"
Wei Sushen stopped but didn't look back.
King An stood up from the queue and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is ill and the prince is suspected of murder. How can we convince people?"
Wei Sushen: "Oh."
“…”
King An knew that the reason he found was far-fetched, but since ancient times, the winner was the king and the loser was the enemy. As long as he won today's game, how to write it in the history books was not a matter of one sentence.
Wei Sushen continued to step forward. King An had imagined many situations, but he was not ignored. His anger was aroused. The last bit of anxiety disappeared in an instant. He waved his hand: "The prince has no virtue. As your majesty's brother, I, the king, should contribute." .”
The courtiers took a breath of air, this is the rhythm of forcing the palace to rebel!
King An was ready and looked at his colleagues, trying to see a little bit of shock on their faces, but there was nothing. This can't help but make him a little disappointed.
At that time, everyone thought that the late emperor would be passed on to them, so they fawned over him in private. But what was the result? Just because of a tampered imperial edict, these people immediately bowed to Emperor Chengyuan. Thinking of this, King An sneered and blew the secret whistle, and a roar immediately sounded outside.
'kill! '
Accompanied by this earth-shattering roar, the vibration caused by the pillar hitting the palace door was soon followed. Even from a long distance away, the eardrums could not bear it.
"The prince has no virtue!"
King An said loudly: "If someone abandons the dark and turns to the light, I will not treat him badly."
Some young courtiers were distracted, but the old ministers kept retreating. By the time King An finished his impassioned speech, there was no one around him. King An looked at the ministers who wanted to retreat from him, and sneered: "It seems that you are preparing to go to a dead end?"
The Imperial Guards were in a stalemate with some men in black who suddenly appeared. The originally grand enthronement ceremony now turned into a battlefield full of smoke.
The ministers did not say anything, but Li Yuan said directly: "Birds choose good trees to rest. Your Majesty, you are bad to the core. We are not stupid."
The minister next to him who was close to Li Yuan whispered: "The situation is unclear now. If you speak so decisively, doesn't it mean there is no way out?"
Li Yuan waved his hand: "Don't panic."
"Um?"
He didn't understand that Chen Yan standing on the other side could see it clearly. This was a typical aura of looking at people for death.
A battle suddenly broke out in the distance. The sound of metal collision did not come from outside the palace, but from the direction of the East Palace.
The crown prince has not yet officially ascended the throne, so it is impossible to order the title of queen. Now the crown prince is still in the East Palace.
The impatient young courtiers couldn't help but look at Wei Sushen. In full view of everyone, they saw their future emperor staring at the sky... in a daze.
"Ahem." Li Yuan coughed heavily.
Wei Sushen came back to his senses and looked at King An condescendingly: "Are you done?"
King An had a strange look in his eyes and sneered: "Ignorant people are fearless."
Wei Sushen said calmly, still calm and calm: "Let's take a look."
The two sides were in a stalemate, the sound of fighting outside filled the air, and the smell of blood blew over with the wind.
This battle cannot end in an instant. Even if there is a comprehensive arrangement, Wei Sushen knows this.
The late emperor loved An Wang very much during his lifetime, and the power entrusted to him must be extraordinary, otherwise Emperor Chengyuan would not have chosen to tolerate it after so many years.
Time passed by, the morning glow faded, and the sun suddenly appeared. The autumn sun is fierce and scorching, making people feel dizzy.
Just when the scene was extremely tense, a young eunuch ran over.
At this moment, no one would scold him for not knowing the rules, but instead would be curious about where this eunuch is from. The little eunuch ran all the way up, still holding the wooden box in his hand. The Imperial Guards and the men in black were fighting with weapons, and no one had time to pay attention to such a person who suddenly appeared.
The young eunuch was also brave. He passed King An and the courtiers, ran all the way to Wei Su Shen and knelt down: "The Crown Princess asked the young eunuch to deliver the things."
Crown Princess
Many people were surprised. Could it be that the East Palace was not captured
Looking at the square box again, I felt a chill in my heart. Could it be a human head inside
The little eunuch opened the box in front of everyone. There was no bloody scene that would cause discomfort. The peeled melon seeds were white and tender and piled up in the shape of a hill.
The little eunuch lowered his head: "The princess said that this place is full of love."
Wei Sushen was calm and seemed not surprised that Fang Shan would do this. But the eyes of the ministers below twitched more or less... The Crown Princess is really a strange person.
Looking at a box of melon seeds, King An felt uneasy. Princess Yuexiu had said that she would take down the East Palace, but now it seemed that something had obviously gone wrong.
His face instantly turned ugly, and he couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "If you don't succeed enough, you will fail more than you do."
Wei Sushen actually started eating melon seeds as if no one else was watching. There were small watermelons soaked in ice water on the bottom layer of the wooden box, which both quenched his thirst and satisfied his hunger.
In contrast, An Wang's mouth was dry because of a previous speech. He is prone to sweating in middle age, and the hair on his forehead was wet with sweat, making it a little greasy.
One is calm and composed, while the other is starting to lose his temper.
Those young courtiers couldn't help but feel glad that they didn't take sides because of the previous temptation. This Prince An was obviously not someone who could get things done.
There was a heavy knock on the door, and the palace door finally opened.
Rather than being knocked away, two neat and orderly armies entered in an orderly manner. These people had all retreated from the battlefield before, carrying a murderous aura. The mighty general at the front quickly walked to the steps and knelt down. He cupped his fists and said, "I'm late to save you. I hope your majesty will forgive me."
The word 'Your Majesty' is enough to show that he represents the position. The most important thing is the ending of this bloody forced labor.
A quarter of an hour ago, King An was in high spirits, but in such a short moment, he seemed to have aged ten years, and even some of his hair on his temples had turned white.
He did not kneel down and beg for mercy. After a few seconds of silence, he laughed crazily at the sky: "I have been preparing for this day for ten years. Without preparation, you cannot win."
His usually gentle eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring at Wei Su Shen: "Everything is a game, right?"
"Prince An's words are wrong," Wei Sushen said calmly: "It is clearly because of your wild ambition and the heroic fighting of the imperial guards that I won the final victory."
King An's smile became even more exaggerated, as if he couldn't straighten up. He no longer looked at Wei Su Shen, but looked around: "At this time, my good brother, why don't you come out to see me one last time?"
For a loser, his voice still sounds strong.
The bell suddenly rang again, but this time, it only rang three times. The eunuch chief followed Emperor Chengyuan. The latter could not see any signs of illness at all. He looked at King An and said calmly: "I will bury you with three bells. This is also an unprecedented treatment.”
King An sneered: "You have never been sick from the beginning, just to force me to take action."
Emperor Chengyuan looked at him with a look full of regret: "I haven't repented until now because I learned that you forced me into the palace regardless of my brotherhood. I turned my grief and anger into strength, and I suddenly recovered."
As he spoke, he let out a long sigh: "It must be the late emperor and our ancestors who are blessing us in heaven."
He spoke loudly and was more moving than the previous speech delivered by King An.
King An covered his chest, and he was so angry that he breathed out a mouthful of blood.
"You are shameless!"
This sentence really revealed the thoughts of the courtiers. There were some things that King An only saw on the surface. When Emperor Chengyuan succeeded to the throne, his reputation was quite unfair, and there were a few thorns in the side.
The results of it? The grass in front of the grave has grown several meters now.
Seeing Emperor Chengyuan lying without blushing and out of breath, the courtiers felt sad.
At this moment, two imperial guards escorted the princess of Yuexiu Kingdom. Although this princess was not as wise as the envoy, she was quite clever. Just in case, she left the city in disguise early this morning, but unfortunately she was guarded there for a long time. The soldiers caught him red-handed.
Emperor Chengyuan looked full of regret: "At first I thought that Yuexiu wanted to marry Qin and Jin forever, and intended to betroth you to the prince. I didn't expect that the princess would behave like this. It is really chilling."
Princess Yuexiu struggled twice, but to no avail, she mocked and said, "Your Majesty's ability to tell lies with open eyes really impresses me."
Emperor Chengyuan ignored this sentence, and his expression suddenly changed: "King An intended to force the palace to rebel, and he must be punished. All the people involved in the case, once verified, will be executed by the nine tribes. Li Yuan!"
"I'm here."
"Lead people to surround Prince An's Mansion."
Li Yuan's eyelids twitched, and it became clear that Emperor Chengyuan had sent spies to keep an eye on Prince An's Mansion yesterday, and had set up a dragnet after midnight. He was really well prepared now.
He thought it was the same thing, and said respectfully on his face: "I obey the order."
King An had been depressed for a long time and still had a lot to say. Emperor Chengyuan didn't give him this chance. He waved his hand and was taken away.
After solving his long-standing concern, Emperor Chengyuan breathed a long sigh of relief. When he turned around, he saw the prince staring at the watermelon in the wooden box, ready to split it and eat it.
Immediately, he couldn't help but the veins on his forehead jumped sharply, and he scolded the chamberlain beside him: "What are you doing standing still? The ceremony continues!"
The chamberlain was shocked. Could it be that His Majesty really meant to take the Zen position
Chen Yan's cool voice came: "It would be unsafe for the ceremony to end in the middle, so we will complete this process today."
The implication is that the prince will be the emperor for a long time. The next day, both the prince and Emperor Chengyuan will return to their respective places.
Emperor Chengyuan frowned: "Chen Aiqing..."
Chen Yan remained silent and tapped his finger on his waist. There was nothing there now, but he usually had a knife. Emperor Chengyuan saw Li Yuan's warning eyes again, put away the idea of taking care of his old age, and said seriously: "What Chen Aiqing said makes sense."
After saying this, he glared at Wei Sushen. The latter was quite sensible and put the wooden box filled with melon seeds aside for the time being and continued walking up. When he actually stepped through the last stone steps and stood on the high platform, all the civil and military officials knelt down and worshiped, shouting loudly like a bell: "Long live my emperor!"
Emperor Chengyuan was the only one who stood upright, looking at the high-spirited young man on the high platform with a sense of relief and emotion in his eyes.
Wei Sushen, who was worshiped by thousands of people, was the calmest in his heart. The only disturbance was when he heard the message that the mission was completed.
The duration of this mission was not too long. In real terms, it was just a change of seasons.
Emperor Chengyuan nodded slightly at him. Wei Sushen understood and said in a deep voice: "As I ascend the throne today, I will ensure that the people are happy, the rivers and mountains will be eternal, and I will uphold the style of benevolence and filial piety..."
Because he was a one-day emperor, there was no mention of amnesty between the lines, and of course the courtiers would not mention it. It has always been the case that amnesties tend to lead to social instability.
It was already afternoon after the enthronement ceremony, and there were many rebels who needed to be dealt with, so Emperor Chengyuan didn't have time to say anything.
Everyone was busy working, and for a while, Wei Sushen became the most leisurely person. Of course, if you really think about it, there is another person who is more leisurely than him.
Fang Shan was lying on the couch, and the beautiful little palace maid was fanning beside him.
After Wei Sushen came in, the two palace maids stepped back with a wink.
Fang Shan glanced at him sideways: "Are you a little disappointed?"
Wei Sushen: "Why should we be disappointed?"
Fang Shan: "In the last world, the host finally got a crystal ball, but this time he got nothing."
Wei Sushen shook his head and did not look at the superficial things. In fact, he had benefited a lot. Some of Emperor Chengyuan's methods were worth learning from.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw Fang Shan's half-smiling expression, and something flashed through his mind.
Fang Shan raised his eyebrows: "Did you find it?"
Wei Sushen frowned: "Is it the more bizarre the plane, the easier it is to gain something?"
Twinkle was brought back from the world of ghost exorcists, and the crystal ball was also obtained from a plane where it could be practiced, and even "Puppet Technique" was no exception.
Fang Shan smiled and said: "Because these things can only be produced in specific planes, similarly, the mortality rate will increase when entering such a world."
Hearing this, Wei Sushen was thoughtful.
Fang Shan smiled even more heartily: "After we go back and rest for a while, we can carefully select the next mission and have something exciting."
