Devil’s Advent

Chapter 936: King Regent of Great Yan!

The emperor took Zheng Fan into a side hall, inside, there was an armchair;

As if he was afraid that someone would rob him, the emperor took a step forward and sat on it. He lay back and the chair shook back and forth slightly.

Immediately afterwards,

The emperor pointed to a swing-like cradle hanging beside him,

road;

You sit there. This is based on the layout of your house when you lived in your house before, but it doesn't feel so comfortable to sit. You sit deep and your feet don't even touch the ground.

Zheng Fan walked to the cradle swing,

standing,

reach out,

pushed the cradle;

The cradle rocks back and forth,

forward,

back,

forward,

back;

Sitting on the armchair looking at the emperor here, with an unbelievable expression on his face, he couldn't help cursing:

Your surname is Zheng, you are a fucking talent!

Prince Pingxi said calmly;

If you have a bad waist, you just can't bear it.

You fart!

If the waist is good, everything is possible, everything can be relied on, and everywhere in the world can be relied on, as long as it can't be done, how can it be unexpected?

……emperor.

Eunuch Wei brought a chair over, and Zheng Fan sat down very familiarly.

At this time,

Several court ladies and eunuchs walked to the emperor's chair with what appeared to be rouge and gouache, and began to help the emperor put on makeup.

At first, Zheng Fan thought it was for the emperor to be radiant during the next big banquet, but he gradually realized that this was not the case.

The emperor's face was painted pale on purpose, and even the skin outside the dragon robe was deliberately modified, making it look...a little older, with every detail including the fingernails.

What is this for?

Didn't your surname Zheng put eyeliner in the capital? the emperor asked back.

What are you doing all this effort for?

Really?

Zheng Fan stretched out his finger to Eunuch Wei who was standing beside him:

Eunuch Wei.

... Eunuch Wei.

The emperor smiled and said: Since I confirmed that you were going to the capital two months ago, I have tried to reduce the number of times I show up, and even if I do show up, I will deliberately dress up.

In the eyes of many close ministers, I am about to die.

This rumor should have been passed on by now, but it hasn't spread to the people yet.

This time you have entered Beijing, in the eyes of many important ministers, it means that you are entrusting your loneliness.

in short,

It's about making arrangements.

Toss around.

The blind man assured Zheng Fan that the operation would go smoothly and the risk could be reduced to a very low level, so in Zheng Fan's mind, this time it was just a process.

I am the emperor, I have to be responsible, if I don't make some preparations in advance, if something happens, how will the situation be dealt with?

Let yourself out of the wind early, your body is failing, and you, Zheng Fan, are the person I appointed to support the orphan, and no matter what you want to do at that time, it will be justified.

Okay, okay. Zheng Fan waved his hand, Eunuch Wei, where's the tea?

Yes, my lord.

Eunuch Wei immediately served tea.

Zheng Fan took a sip,

put down the teacup,

Close your eyes, as if you are resting;

But he still opened his mouth and said; It's also difficult for you.

Things, at this point, it is no longer possible to say that the emperor is deliberately acting for friendship, or in other words, when he has given everything and everything, it doesn't matter whether he is acting or not.

Throughout the ages, Ji Laoliu is probably the only emperor who can put his authority on the dragon chair and confide his heart to such an extent.

Of course, there are also factors in which he is different from those powerful officials, but in essence, Ji Chengjue has indeed inherited the heart and spirit of the late emperor;

He is worthy of being the prince who is most like his father.

The emperor is still under makeup,

open the way;

Surnamed Zheng, do you think I'm a good emperor? I mean, if you count what we're going to do in a few years.

Too close, can't see the real thing, distance creates beauty.

Good sentence.

After the make-up was done, the emperor fell asleep.

King Pingxi, who was sitting on the chair, also fell asleep.

Eunuch Wei picked up a royal blanket and gently covered the emperor, then took another blanket and covered King Pingxi.

Afterwards, Eunuch Wei walked to the door and stood there.

half an hour later,

it's almost time;

Eunuch Wei walked back and was about to push King Pingxi to wake him up first, but he saw that King Pingxi had opened his eyes and lifted the blanket.

He got up, walked to the armchair, and looked at the sick emperor lying on the armchair.

Suddenly,

There is a sense of unreality.

Half a year ago, during the farewell to Eastern Jin, the emperor said while sitting in the carriage:

I don't believe in fate because I think that the so-called destiny is not as exciting as your surname Zheng!

In fact, Zheng Fan also felt that if there was no Ji Chengjue in this world, it seemed that many things left would be meaningless.

Even in the future, Ping Chu Miegan will no longer give people the feeling of excitement.

The man sweated profusely outside and earned a sum of money. What he wanted was the sense of satisfaction and pride when he returned home with a mouthful of hot food and handed the money to his mother-in-law. Being tired is not a problem.

When I go out in the future, if Ji Chuanye instead of Ji Chengjue sits on the dragon chair behind, it seems that the hope will be lost, and it will be boring to think about it.

The emperor is fast asleep;

There is one thing that Zheng Fan doesn't know, but the Queen knows;

That is, when Zheng Fan went to Beijing to live in the palace, or when his family went to Jindong to live in Pingxi palace, the emperor always felt at ease and slept soundly;

Looking at the emperor sleeping so soundly,

Zheng Fan couldn't help being touched a little tenderly;

Eunuch Wei stood by, paying attention to the expression on Prince Pingxi's face, feeling in his heart, thinking about it, this is the relationship between true confidants who are not brothers but are better than brothers.

Your Majesty and the prince are indeed...

Immediately afterwards,

Eunuch Wei was stunned.

Because he saw King Pingxi squatting down,

In front of the sleeping emperor,

Suddenly there was a loud cry:

ah!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Plop!

The emperor was so frightened that he rolled directly from the armchair.

You must know that the palace is very quiet on weekdays, and the maids and eunuchs are not even allowed to play and fight. Every time the emperor rests, Eunuch Wei will keep the wind at the door;

Therefore, it was the first time that the emperor was frightened in this way when he was sleeping.

The emperor got up from the ground,

Cursed at Zheng Fan:

Your surname is Zheng, you are sick!

Prince Pingxi didn't disturb Sheng Jia's consciousness in the slightest, and asked instead:

Look at you, the makeup on your face is stained by your own saliva. It's good to scare you like this, and I'll treat it as a touch-up for you.

The surname is Zheng, I will fight with you!

The emperor made a gesture to rush towards him, but Eunuch Wei hurried forward and hugged the emperor:

Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty calm down!

the other end,

The prince rolled up his python sleeves and squeezed his fist;

In the world, a fourth-rank martial artist can be called a great master, and there is no problem in establishing a sect. It is rare, but it is by no means unusual;

You can look at the past and present,

How many fourth-rank warriors can have a chance to beat the current emperor?

Come on, come on, just put on some more makeup, it's better to cause some internal bleeding, and now you can distinguish the fake from the real.

Zheng Fan, your uncle!

...

The feast begins.

The dining table has always been the place where rules are most respected.

Which official rank sits where, which yamen sits where, which nobleman sits where, and which clan sits where are all clearly assigned and arranged in advance.

Drinks and dishes have already been served, but few people can use chopsticks. The palace banquet has never been a place to eat. Before the big guys come, they have already filled their stomachs at home.

Next,

It was the elders of the cabinet who attended the meeting.

Mao Mingcai, who used to be the prefect of Yingdu, is now the chief assistant of the cabinet. Behind him, there are a total of six senior cabinet ministers.

After the new king succeeded to the throne, he made many changes to the court, the most important one being the establishment and revision of the cabinet.

Now, Liubu has almost become the cabinet's assistant.

A group of civil and military officials got up and met the elders of the pavilion, and everyone greeted each other in a friendly manner;

After the elders are seated,

Dayan Dazong is sympathizing with An Boji and Cheng Lang brings his brothers.

In the matter of treating his brothers, the emperor showed great tolerance.

The First Prince is now leading the army in Nanwang City, almost in charge of the entire defense line in the southern part of Dayan, even Li Liangshen can only fight under the First Prince's command;

The second prince, who is now Min Anbo, the former prince, Ren Zongzheng, and this earl can actually see the emperor's ridicule of this competitor;

But the taunts belonged to the taunts, the emperor hadn't deliberately found any trouble since he succeeded to the throne for several years, and all the grievances and grievances of the year were exposed in one stroke.

The fourth prince, Ji Chengfeng, is currently working in the Ministry of War, but it is a idle job. The emperor will order people to give him some books from time to time, which means that he can cultivate himself more.

The fifth prince, Ji Chengwen, is currently the minister of the Ministry of Industry by virtue of his achievements in building river embankments in the past few years.

The seventh prince, Ji Chengsu, has grown up a lot, and now he has nothing to do. Moreover, the emperor himself said that he, the seventh younger brother, is too thoughtful.

The court hall of the Yan Kingdom has undergone a major purge by the first emperor, and with the continuous foreign wars in these years, a large number of local officials with military exploits began to enter the capital, and the atmosphere in the court hall is still very good.

Furthermore, the Yan people did not have the kind of swaying that Gan people like to be both important and independent.

The emperor's six brothers, except for the eldest prince who is a military meritorious prince, the rest were made earls because of the abolition of the prince and the second prince, and the rest of the brothers were also earls;

The courtiers are very happy to see the results. These years, the imperial court's finances are tight, and it is natural to be happy to cut down on the imperial family here;

Even the most prestigious old ministers ignored the emperor's beatings and harsh reprimands on his brothers. Those who should be beaten were beaten, and those who should be cut off from official careers and political influence were cut off directly, so that the big guys would have no trouble in the future.

Furthermore, the emperor already has two princes, there are successors, the foundation of the country has been established, the clans, it is best to go as far as possible...

However, although I thought so in my heart, when these heavenly brothers came in, everyone was very enthusiastic.

Next, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Jingnan walked in together.

Greetings to His Royal Highness, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!

I have met His Royal Highness, Your Highness Fukang!

At Zheng Fan's royal ceremony, the emperor decreed to accept Prince Jingnan's son as his adoptive son and let the crown prince worship him as his elder brother. So strictly speaking, Tiantian is not only the son of the son, but also a member of half of the Tian family.

But everyone knows that today's His Royal Highness, the crown prince, can walk in side by side with the crown prince, not simply because of the legacy left by King Jingnan, but mainly because of the status of the eldest son of Prince Pingxi;

Everyone knows that Prince Pingxi loves his godson the most!

after that,

It was the Empress and Princess Pingxi who had the banquet together, followed by Princess Zhenbei and Princess Zhenbei.

It stands to reason,

The queen should go first, and Si Niang should go with Iguna.

But the queen took Si Niang to go together, and Si Niang didn't shirk it. To a certain extent, she knew Jindong's confidence better than her own man.

The princess is not qualified to go together, but Iguna followed very consciously.

I'm waiting to pay my respects to the empress, the empress is a thousand years old!

My dear friends, please rise up.

I have met Princess Pingxi, Princess Pingxi Fukang.

Si Niang responded with a smile.

After some courtesy, the big guy began to wait.

Since the emperor did not come in with the empress, it is obvious that the emperor must have come in as a pair with Prince Pingxi.

In fact, there should be a King of Zhenbei behind him;

But King Zhenbei was ignored by the big guys early on.

In terms of reality, in terms of penny and baht must be compared, the street vendors are not even worthy of carrying shoes for the court chiefs!

...

Why don't you cover King Zhenbei's side?

There's no need to cover it up. What's the point of letting them know clearly that I'm pretending to be sick? During the day, the order to mobilize Li Chenghui's department to Jindong has been issued to the cabinet. The cabinet knows it, and the court should know It must be known.

At that time, Wen Wu will only know that I am drawing the blood of Zhenbei Wangfu to make up for you, King Pingxi, and you are the Minister Tuogu whom I recognize.

Zhenbei Wangfu can only pretend that they don't know anything, they don't dare to quarrel or make trouble.

Li Fei and Li Qian are not fools either.

If you really want to shout that this is a play between me and you, what will happen to them?

It will only be thought by the world that the Zhenbei Palace refuses to accept the arrangement and wants to find an excuse to start a riot. When the time comes, won't you clean it up easily?

hehe.

In front, Li Fei stood there.

The emperor and King Pingxi naturally stopped chatting.

When Li Fei saw the emperor lying on the dragon chariot, he was stunned for a moment. After all, everyone was still having sex together in the afternoon, so why did they have to be carried all of a sudden?

And when the distance is close, the emperor's sick face can be clearly seen.

This is……

Li Fei.

The minister is here.

My dragon is in poor health.

Yes... Li Fei immediately came to his senses, Please take care of the dragon body, Your Majesty.

Yes. The emperor nodded in satisfaction.

In fact, sometimes I have to feel the wisdom of those three from the previous generation, especially Li Liangting.

The contemporary people are in charge of the affairs of the contemporary people, and how much incense the next generation can inherit. To put it bluntly, it still depends on self-consciousness and duty.

Jindong is backed by Zheng Fan's foundation, so it naturally has the right to stand;

Zhenbei Wangfu, without the old prince, can only do his duty, this is not admitting cowardice, this is knowing the current affairs, the general trend is like this.

Father Xiao, the new king, not only looks like the first emperor, but the new emperor doesn't have the wrists and cold blood of the first emperor?

It's just that there are some things that hurt feelings if they are put on the stage. When it is not a last resort, everyone still likes to make money with harmony.

At the entrance, Lu Bing was waiting there.

Today's Lu Bing, the two yamen are arrested together, he can be said to be the first person under Dayan's shadow.

My lord, long live my emperor!

Lu Bing knelt down.

The emperor smiled,

road:

There's one more.

Lu Bing moved his knees and kowtowed to Zheng Fan: Kowtow to Lord Pingxi.

For Zheng Fan, this is a very sure operation, but for the emperor, he must arrange his funeral affairs.

Go in and meet...my courtiers.

Here!

Lu Bing replaced the two eunuchs in front and raised the dragon chariot.

Originally, Lu Bingkong left a handle position for King Pingxi;

But King Pingxi stood there, as if admiring the moonlight.

At this time, Li Fei came over and raised the other handle.

team,

Start entering the banquet.

When the emperor was carried in while lying down, there was an uproar in the audience.

The emperor had a problem with his body, this matter has long been no secret;

A few days ago, King Zhenbei entered the capital and the prince went to welcome him. Today, King Pingxi entered the capital and the prince went to welcome him. Why didn't the emperor go in person?

Naturally, the bones of the body couldn't stand it anymore.

Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live, long live!

Everyone present knelt down.

My dear friends...Pingshen...cough cough...

Your Majesty has a decree, all ministers and workers should live in peace.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

The Son of Heaven was carried like this, from the outside to the inside;

Many ministers had tears on their faces, and some even burst into tears.

Is there an acting component?

Yes, for sure.

But inside, in fact, the tears of most people are true.

The emperor has a mean temper, everyone knows it, but compared to the first emperor, the emperor is actually easy to get along with.

Moreover, unlike the previous emperor’s conquests when he was in power, the emperor has been doing reforms with the people all the time. After a series of good governance, the people of Dayan finally got a chance to breathe and recover.

Although the new emperor has not succeeded to the throne, the courtiers know best that this emperor is a wise emperor.

The emperor was carried to the stage, and above it was the center and the highest place of the banquet, and an extremely large dragon chair was placed.

The emperor turned his face sideways, looked at Zheng Fan who was standing beside him, and said;

The one surnamed Zheng, carry me up.

Zheng Fan turned to look at him;

The emperor whispered:

Acting, don't feel disgusting, right? Ahem...

Zheng Fan was helpless,

Go to the dragon chariot,

Wei Zhonghe helped the seriously ill emperor and let him lean on King Pingxi's back.

Next,

King Pingxi walked up to the high platform with the emperor on his back.

The emperor put his hand on King Pingxi's shoulder,

road;

My surname is Zheng, I suddenly feel so weak.

You're too into the show.

Isn't it good to be dedicated?

If you feel disgusted again, I'll throw it away for you.

hehe.

Zheng Fan placed the emperor on the dragon chair,

After the emperor sat down,

The whole person leaned against the side of the dragon chair, looking very weak and listless.

The cries of the officials below began to fade away.

Many people have cast their eyes on the uncles standing in the front row, that is, the former princes.

But when these former princes were bearing these gazes, they didn't feel the slightest joy in their hearts, what they had was just fear.

They didn't know that the emperor was pretending to be sick. Very few people knew about the emperor pretending to be sick;

Even Pingxi Wang's family and Zhenbei Wang's family, the eunuchs and eunuchs in the palace are under the supervision of Wei Zhonghe, so they will not talk too much.

It stands to reason that Xinjun has a problem with his health. They are brothers, which seems to imply that the opportunity has come again. After all, the prince is still young, isn't he?

But King Pingxi stood there,

He stood there;

This kind of power,

This silent warning,

It is enough to make these heavenly brothers dare not have the slightest delusions.

The emperor apparently also noticed this detail;

At this time,

Eunuch Wei stood on the edge of the high platform and began to declare:

Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict said: Since I succeeded to the throne, I am deeply afraid that I will fail the high hopes of my ancestors, the grace of the late emperor, and the people of Dayan...

... However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings;

I originally wanted to devote my whole life to the great rule of Yan and the unification of the Xia, but unfortunately, there is no holiday.

Today, the body of the dragon is not safe, fearing that the current situation will be turbulent, and instead of seeking integrity for the country, seek support for the people.

chant till here,

Eunuch Wei pursed his lips,

continued:

King Pingxi, calm and introverted, talented in the crowd, elegant and profound, although his life is full of hardships and hardships, but he still lives on his own. He adheres to the saying of Heaven's Great Responsibility, he is respectful and accepts himself. , Broad-minded, patriotic and empathetic to the people, reserved and professional, deeply comforting my heart.

Today, this edict is specially made, and he is the regent. I hope that in the future, I will not forget my family and country, and I will not forget the previous taboos.

This!

for a while,

All the ministers were in an uproar.

On the contrary, the cabinet members seem to have expected it long ago.

Although everyone is deceived, the degree of being deceived is not the same.

In the eyes of the elders, if the emperor is really dying, the best way is not to quickly block and suppress King Pingxi, because everyone knows that there is no other way than directly setting off a civil war in the entire Dayan. results.

The best way is to invite King Pingxi from his fief to the capital, keep him away from the fief, and at the same time suppress him in the name of righteousness, in order to transfer the imperial power, and hope that the prince will be in charge as an adult.

This is... the best way, and at this moment, the only way.

so,

The elders of the pavilion go out first and kneel down:

The minister waits to meet the Regent.

immediately,

Li Fei came out, and although he was puzzled, he still knelt down:

Meet the Regent.

At this time,

The prince stepped up to the high platform,

Kneel down facing Zheng Fan;

Chuanye pays respects to Uncle Regent!

The brothers of the Son of Heaven also came out and knelt down at this time:

The minister waits to meet the Regent.

The bosses and the clans all took the lead, and many ministers knelt down with tears in their eyes.

Of course, many ministers began to shout:

No, absolutely no, Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, how could this man be allowed to occupy this position!

Your Majesty, the Great Yan River is in danger!

The minister who shouted these words was immediately forcibly helped out by a group of eunuchs, and his movements were very quick.

This is the will of the Son of Heaven,

When the emperor sent Dayan's first-class powerful vassal king to the regent position, it was really difficult to form resistance. This may be much easier and more convenient than after Zheng Fan led the army into the capital.

After all, you can't let the big guys ask: Why did Your Majesty rebel?

at the same time,

All the troops stationed in Dayan will also receive secret orders from the emperor.

an emperor,

The road of usurping the powerful officials has been paved firmly, and even flowers are planted;

Zheng Fan was still standing, even though the sound of kneeling down and worshiping the Regent kept coming from below;

The emperor leaning on the dragon chair,

He reached out and grabbed Zheng Fan's python robe sleeve,

Gently tugged,

no response,

Twist again,

Zheng Fan turned his head;
