Adorable Food Goddess Chapter 405: Fight back
The thirteenth day of the emperor's stroke.
The queen used the emperor’s illness as an excuse that no one was allowed to visit, except for the queen and the exclusive royal physician, no one could enter or enter the Zichen Palace.
Although news comes every day, the emperor is gradually recovering, but more and more people doubt the authenticity of this news.
Everyone has not seen the emperor for so long, and there is excuse for speculation.
The reason why everyone is really uneasy is that His Royal Highness's daily face that looks like a thousand-year-old iceberg. At first glance, the situation is not good and the emperor is in danger. I heard that King Yu still has four The six princes and others knelt down in front of the Zichen Palace every day, only begging to go in and take a look at the emperor, but the queen refused.
On the other hand, His Royal Highness, of course, also goes to the Zichen Palace every day to kneel and ask Sheng'an. His expression is also worried, but he is by no means as heavy as King Yu, and the prince gradually began to manage the affairs of the court. Of course, this is in the public. With repeated requests from ministers, most of the people who made these requests were members of the prince's party.
What does this mean?
It's hard for people not to think too much!
Just as the situation fell into a stalemate and the suspicion was overwhelming, a big fire broke out on Jingguo Gong's Mansion. That night, the flames soared to the sky and almost burned most of Jingguo's mansion.
The Department of Patrol and Defense of the Five Cities, the Jingzhao Mansion, and the Fire Fighting Department were all dispatched. Everyone was busy for a long time and finally controlled the fire. As a result, the cause of the fire was investigated. It turned out to be an explosion in the alchemy furnace of the Prince Jingguo. What's more terrible is that when the patrol and defense department were rescuing property, they found a box of pills. According to verification, it was a pill with refreshing and aphrodisiac effects.
The horse rumors swept away like wind. At this time, the King Anle, who was far away in Luzhou, the Uncle of the Five Emperors happened to be returning to Jinling. After hearing the news, he brought a group of people into the palace and asked the queen for an explanation.
Didn't the queen suspect that someone had given the emperor some kind of medicine? Otherwise, during the period of the emperor, could he be so strong and fierce? Empress Xingshi moved the crowd to search the harem and found no evidence. As a result, such pills were found in Jingguo Palace.
Where is Jingguo Gongfu? It is the queen's family, which makes people have to doubt.
For a time, all the spearheads were directed at the queen, but the queen was hard to tell.
The Uncle Five Emperors was very excited and threatened that if the queen didn't give an explanation, he would not hesitate to send troops to the king.
Several things like the King of Military Qin were said, that is, he clearly accused the queen prince of treason. In fact, the suspicion is not counted. In the eyes of some people, it is clear that the evidence is conclusive.
The rain is coming, and a storm is about to start.
At this point when things happened, Xia Chunyu, the deputy commander of the first-class guards, was busy. I can't take care of the house at all, the guard is in the palace day and night. The Prince’s East Palace was even busier, with meetings one after another.
"Luzhou is here to report, the soldiers of the Five Emperors are gathering."
"Xuzhou is here to report that the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou have moved to Jinling."
"The soldiers and horses of Fujian and Zhejiang are moving towards Jinling."
"The soldiers and horses of Shu Prefecture are pulling towards Jinling."
"Nothing is happening at Northwest Daying."
"There have been many strange faces in Jinling City recently..."
"The team that went to meet Lord Helian has joined with Lord Helian and is rapidly approaching Jinling."
"..."
Almost all bad news, only the last one gave everyone a sigh of relief, but the nerves became tighter.
Now the only forces in Jinling City are the Imperial Guards and the Northwest camp not far from Jinling.
The Imperial Guard has only three thousand, and the Five Cities Patrol and Defense Division has only two thousand, and the hearts of the people are not uniform. Although the Northwest Camp is Helianxuan's subordinate, Helianxuan has been away for more than a year, during which he was helplessly placed. Many people have been hired, and it's hard to say that this is just one piece. If a few people, horses and soldiers approach the city,
Several teams under the banner of King Qin have already taken the lead, and the prince has no right to mobilize soldiers and horses, unless there is an edict for the prince to supervise the country. To do this, it is not difficult for the prince, Yuxi is now in the hands of the queen. But if this jade seal is covered, it is truly a false imperial edict. If the emperor wakes up...
Everyone speaks fiercely.
"His Royal Highness, the situation is imminent. If you do not deploy reinforcements, Jinling City is in danger, please make up your mind early."
"His Royal Highness, Uncle Five Emperors, and His Royal Highness Wang Yu Langzi's ambitions are clearly revealed. If you don't act first and make the rebels break through Jinling, it will be upside down and the consequences will be unimaginable..."
"His Royal Highness, please decide as soon as possible..."
The prince's brows were always frowning, and he hadn't let go. He contemplated for a long time and looked at Xia Chunyu.
"Chunyu, what do you think?"
For a time, everyone's eyes fell on Xia Chunyu's face.
Xia Chunyu knows that the crown prince is entangled in his heart. The crown prince is the rightful heir to the throne. As long as he keeps a low profile and waits patiently to prevent the emperor from catching the wrong place, this throne must be the crown prince. However, contrary to expectations, the development of the situation forced the prince into a dilemma.
The rebellious remarks of the queen and prince are very rampant, and it is difficult to argue. At this time, if the official prison of the country is announced and the army will be deployed, it will become more and more unpopular. The prince is benevolent and filial, the most intolerable is the falsehood of killing his father and seizing the throne. Moreover, the emperor was sober and confused from time to time. Who knows if the emperor will use this as an excuse to be disadvantageous to the prince after he is completely sober?
But if you don't do anything, you can just sit and wait.
There is only a dead end for forbearance. There may be a way out for counterattack. History has always been written by victors. Success and failure have always been the case.
Xia Chun's eyes were still pondering for a moment, and gradually became firmer.
Here are people who can be trusted, but speaking skills are still needed.
Standing up and arching his hands and said: "His Royal Highness, Master Song is right. How could the Five Emperors return to Jinling by such a coincidence, and he clearly planned early. Back then, the Five Emperors did not covet the emperor's throne, and Xuzhou was the leader. Zhao Zhuohui and Qiu Guangsheng, the leader of the southwestern army, obeyed the orders. Everyone knows well. As for those who have recently mixed into Jinling, they are people from the rivers and lakes. Don’t forget that the Jiangzuo League, the Rongguo Mansion and the King Yu are inextricably linked. Weichen understands that the embarrassment of the prince at this moment is due to the worry about the emperor’s body, and he is afraid that the emperor’s illness will get worse. The queen and the prince will bear any grievances for the emperor, but the fire is almost burning to the eyebrows. Your Royal Highness asks the emperor to make an order to mobilize the army and the king, otherwise he will be in danger. I believe the emperor will not watch the conspiracy of the rebellious minister succeed when he knows it."
The true situation of the emperor, among the people sitting, only he, Xiaojing and the prince know it. The emperor is still hanging a sigh now. There is one living dead and it is impossible to make a will. Therefore, he deliberately said that , Let everyone think that the emperor can still make a decision, the prince hesitated just because he was worried that the emperor's condition would be repeated.
Xiaojing also got up and said: "His Royal Highness is a world of filial piety and a clear conscience, but he can't just watch the rebellious officials and criminals go against him. He also asks the Prince to take state affairs and the overall situation first."
The ministers all expressed their opinions and asked His Royal Highness to put the overall situation first.
His Royal Highness was silent for a long time, his expression was complicated, and he sighed with emotion: "When I was a child, the five emperors loved the palace the most, and the palace was occasionally criticized by the father and the emperor. I didn’t expect that. But now I have to meet each other in a military battle, Yu Wang... The third brother, I always followed my house when I was young, the prince’s elder brother, the prince’s elder brother’s call, now it is also lustful, hey... I really do not want to see this Normal situation."
Everyone is very anxious and complains. The prince is benevolent and filial, but the filial piety is too high, regardless of importance. When the time comes, it is not just the prince who will fall to the ground. They will suffer all the loyal officials. .
Only Xia Chun is calm, and the prince here recalls the past at this time, indicating that his determination has been made.
Sure enough, the prince's eyes suddenly became cold, revealing a rare coldness.
The tone changed: "Everyone said it is extremely true that this palace cannot be for selfishness and ignore the overall situation, let alone allow the conspiracy of rebellious officials and thieves to succeed. This palace will ask for orders."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts falling to the ground.
"At this time of chaos, I invite you all to perform your duties. Don't let yourself be messed up first." The prince warned.
Everyone is here.
"Chunyu, He Lianjing, you stay, and the rest of you wait temporarily withdraw~IndoMTL.com~Xia Chunyu and He Lianjing stayed.
The others are gone, the prince said with awe-inspiring expression: "Chunyu, Xiaojing, we have no retreat."
The meaning of this is that once the will is requested, everything is a foregone conclusion. The emperor, no matter whether he gets better or not, it is impossible to sit on the dragon chair anymore, otherwise the prince will explode his power this time. , The emperor will definitely be jealous.
Xia Chunyu and Xiaojing also looked serious. No one wanted to make such a decision. However, the situation forced them to do it as a last resort, and the prince said this because he wanted them to express themselves and be psychologically prepared.
"His Royal Highness, officials and others swear allegiance to His Highness." The two said in unison.
His Royal Highness nodded, his eyes determined: "King Yu thought that by colluding with the five emperors, using the power of the rivers and lakes, he could subvert the universe, huh, as everyone knows, this move is to lead the tiger and drive the wolf. Not foolish, Chunyu, Xiaojing, follow the plan."
"Yes." The two took their orders together.
The plan has already been drawn up, and it's just waiting for His Royal Highness to make this determination. Now, let’s have a good time!
On the same day, there were several vicious looting and smashing incidents in Jinling City. Officers and soldiers dispatched martial law throughout the city, and strangers and others were all arrested. This was an action directed at people who had entered Jinling City.
The next day, thirty-six horses galloped out of the city, heading to the south, east, north and west.
In the palace, a beauty who had been beaten into the cold palace reported concubine Shu Gui, saying that it was the medicine given by Concubine Shu Gui. It was colorless and tasteless. It was mixed in wine for the emperor to drink. The medicine was not only refreshing and positive. Effectiveness, and it will damage people's internal organs.
The next day, Wu Huangshu who was returning to Luzhou was intercepted halfway through the road. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, and Wu Huangshu disappeared.
