The emperor suffered a stroke on the thirteenth day.

The empress reasoned that the emperor's illness required rest, and no one was allowed to visit him. Except for the empress and the exclusive imperial doctor, no one could enter or leave the Zichen Palace.

Although news came every day that the emperor was gradually recovering, more and more people doubted the authenticity of the news.

Everyone has not seen the emperor for so long, so many guesses are understandable.

But the reason that really makes everyone uneasy is that His Royal Highness Yu Wang's face is as cold as an iceberg that has not melted for a thousand years. At first glance, it seems that the situation is not good and the emperor is in danger. I heard that Yu Wang has four princes and six princes. The others knelt down in front of the Zichen Palace every day, just begging to go in and have a look at the emperor, but the empress refused.

On the other hand, His Royal Highness, of course, goes to kneel outside the Zichen Palace every day to pray for Shengan, and his expression is also worried, but it is by no means as heavy as that of King Yu, and the crown prince gradually began to take care of the government. Of course, this is because the ministers After repeated requests, most of the people who made such requests were members of the prince's party.

what does that mean?

It's hard not to think about it!

Just when the situation was at a stalemate and doubts were clouding over, a fire broke out in Duke Jing's mansion. The flames soared to the sky that night, almost burning most of the Duke Jing's mansion.

The patrol department of the five cities, the Jingzhao government office, and the fire department were all mobilized. Everyone worked hard for half a night and finally brought the fire under control. After investigating the cause of the fire, it turned out that the alchemy furnace in the mansion of Jingguo exploded, and it was even more fatal. What's more, when the personnel of the Patrol Division were rescuing property, they found a box of pills. According to the verification, it was the pills that had the effect of refreshing and strengthening yang.

Immediately, rumors spread like wind. At this time, King Anle who was far away in Luzhou, that is, Uncle Wuhuang, happened to return to Jinling. After hearing the news, he brought a group of people into the palace to ask the queen for an explanation.

Didn't the queen suspect that someone gave the emperor some kind of medicine? Otherwise, could the emperor be so fierce during that period? The queen mobilized people to search the harem but found no evidence. As a result, this kind of pill was found in Jingguo's mansion.

Where is Jingguo Mansion? It is the queen's natal family, which makes people have to doubt.

For a moment, all the spearheads were pointed at the queen, but the queen couldn't tell.

Uncle Wuhuang was very emotional, and threatened that if the queen did not give an explanation, he would not hesitate to send troops to serve the king.

The king of dispatching troops said such serious things, and he was clearly accusing the empress and prince of treason. In fact, the suspicion is not even counted. In some people's eyes, it is clearly evidence.

The rain is about to come, and a storm is about to break out.

When things happened to this point, Xia cChunyu, who was the deputy commander of the first-class bodyguards and guards, was too busy. He didn't care about his family at all, and guarded the palace day and night. The Prince's East Palace was even more busy, one meeting after another.

"Luzhou is here to report that the soldiers and horses of the Fifth Emperor Uncle are gathering."

"Xuzhou came to report that Xuzhou's soldiers and horses have already moved to Jinling."

"The soldiers and horses from Fujian and Zhejiang marched towards Jinling."

"The soldiers and horses of Shuzhou marched towards Jinling."

"There is no movement in the Northwest Camp."

"Many strange faces have come to Jinling City recently..."

"The team going to meet Prince Helian has already joined him, and is rapidly approaching Jinling."

"..."

Almost all bad news, only the last one made everyone secretly relieved, but the nerves were even more tense.

Now the only forces in Jinling City are the Imperial Guards and the Northwest Battalion stationed not far from Jinling.

The imperial guards only had 3,000, and the Five Cities Patrol Division had only 20,000, and people were not in harmony. Although the Northwest Camp was He Lianxuan's subordinate, He Lianxuan had been away for more than a year, and he had no choice but to be placed in different places during the period. With few people, it is hard to say that this is still monolithic. If a few people and horses approach the city,

Several teams under the banner of King Qin have already gone one step ahead, and the prince has no right to mobilize troops unless there is an oracle to let the prince supervise the country. It is not difficult for the prince to do this, the jade seal is now in the hands of the queen. But once the jade seal is covered, it is really a false imperial decree. In case the emperor wakes up...

Everyone speaks out.

"His Royal Highness, the situation is imminent. If reinforcements are not dispatched, Jinling City will be in danger. Your Highness, please make up your mind early."

"His Royal Highness, Uncle Wu Huang and His Royal Highness Yu Wang's wolfish ambitions are clearly revealed. If we don't act first, if we allow the rebels to break through Jinling, then the world will be turned upside down, and the consequences will be unimaginable..."

"His Royal Highness, please make a decision as soon as possible..."

The prince's brows were always furrowed, and he never let go. He meditated for a long time and looked at Xia Chunyu.

"Chunyu, what do you think?"

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Xia Chunyu's face.

Xia cChun knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was conflicted. The Crown Prince was the legitimate heir to the throne. As long as he kept a low profile, waited patiently, and prevented the Emperor from being caught in the wrong place, the throne must belong to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. However, against the wishes of the sky, the development of the situation forced the prince into a dilemma.

The empress and prince's treasonous remarks are so rampant that no one can argue with it. At this time, if it is announced to formally supervise the country and mobilize the army, it will become more and more popular. Moreover, the emperor's mind is sometimes sober and sometimes confused, who knows if the emperor will use this as an excuse to be unfavorable to the prince after he is fully awake?

But if you do nothing, you can only sit and wait.

There is only one way to die for forbearance, and there may be a way out for counterattack. History has always been written by the victors, and it has been like this since ancient times.

Xia Chunyu's eyes hesitated for a moment, and gradually became firm.

People here are trustworthy people, but speaking skills are still needed.

Standing up and cupping his hands, he said, "His Royal Highness, Master Song is right. How can the fifth emperor return to Jinling by such a coincidence? He clearly planned it long ago. Didn't the fifth emperor not covet the emperor's throne back then, and Zhao Zhuohui, the leader of Xuzhou's army, Everyone knows who Qiu Guangsheng, the leader of the army, obeys. As for the people who sneaked into Jinling recently, they seem to be people from the Jianghu. Don't forget that the Jiangzuo League is inextricably linked with the Rongguo Duke's Mansion and King Yu. The minister understands that His Royal Highness’ embarrassment at this moment is all due to worrying about the emperor’s health. He is afraid that the emperor’s condition will worsen after hearing this troublesome matter. The queen and the prince will endure any grievances for the sake of the emperor. Make a decree to mobilize the army to serve the king, otherwise Huai Song will be in danger, I believe that the emperor will not watch the rebellious minister's scheme succeed after he knows."

Among the people present, only he, Xiaojing and the prince knew the real situation of the emperor. The emperor is still hanging on his breath, and it is impossible for him to make a decree. Therefore, he deliberately said this to let everyone Thinking that the emperor can still make a decision, the prince's hesitation is just because he is worried that the emperor's illness will relapse.

Xiao Jing also got up and said: "His Royal Highness has a filial piety, but he can't just stand by and watch the rebellious officials and thieves go against the law. Please, His Royal Highness, put the country's affairs first and the overall situation first."

All the ministers made admonitions one after another, asking His Royal Highness to put the overall situation first.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was silent for a long time, with a complex expression on his face, and sighed with emotion for a while: "When I was young, the fifth emperor's uncle loved me the most. I was occasionally scolded by my father, and my uncle would always say good things for me. I didn't expect, but now I want Fighting against each other, King Yu... The third younger brother always followed Ben Gong when he was a child, the prince's brother, the prince's brother called him, but now, he is also greedy for profit, hey... Ben Gong really does not want to see this situation today. "

Everyone was anxious and complained quite a bit. The prince's benevolence and filial piety were true, but the benevolence and filial piety were too much, regardless of the severity. When the time came, not only the prince would be killed, but the officials who swore their allegiance to the death would suffer accordingly.

Only Xia Chunyu was calm, and the prince was here to reminisce about the past, which showed that he had made up his mind.

Sure enough, the prince's eyes suddenly turned cold, revealing a rare coldness.

The tone changed: "What everyone said is very true. I can't ignore the overall situation for my own selfishness, and I can't let the schemes of rebellious officials and thieves succeed. I will go to ask for an order."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone fell to the ground.

"At this time of chaos, please perform your duties, and don't mess yourself up first." The prince urged.

Everyone here.

"Chunyu, He Lianjing, you stay here, and the rest of you will leave for now."

Xia Chunyu and He Lianjing stayed behind.

When everyone left, the prince said with a serious expression: "Chunyu, Xiaojing, we have no way out."

The meaning of these words is that once the order is requested, everything is a foregone conclusion. The emperor, no matter whether he can get better or not, it is impossible to sit on the dragon chair again, otherwise the prince's burst of ability this time, the emperor will definitely Will be afraid.

Xia Chunyu and Xiaojing also looked serious, no one wanted to make such a choice, but the situation forced them to do it, and the prince said this because he wanted them to make a statement and be mentally prepared.

"His Royal Highness, the ministers and others swear allegiance to His Highness to the death." The two said in unison.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded, with a decisive look in his eyes: "King Yu thought that he could overthrow the world by colluding with the Fifth Emperor Uncle and using the power of the rivers and lakes. Hmph, as everyone knows, this move is to lure tigers and drive wolves away, but I am benevolent and filial, but I am not stupid. Chunyu, Xiaojing, follow the plan."

"Yes." The two agreed in unison.

The plan has already been drawn up, and we are waiting for His Royal Highness to make this determination. Now, let's have a good fight!

On the same day, there were several vicious looting incidents in Jinling City. Officers and soldiers mobilized the entire city under martial law, and all strangers were arrested.

The next day, thirty-six fine horses galloped out of the city, and headed to the southeast, northwest, respectively.

And in the palace, a beauty who had been thrown into the cold palace reported Concubine Shu, claiming that the medicine given by Concubine Shu was colorless and tasteless, mixed with wine and given to the emperor to drink. It will damage people's internal organs.

The next day, Uncle Wu Huang, who was returning to Luzhou, was intercepted and killed on the way. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, and Uncle Wu Huang was missing.
