I am a Big Villain

"How is your Majesty's health?"

There was silence in Emperor Chengqing's chamber. A group of imperial doctors were seen surrounding the dragon bed, each with their brows furrowed, not knowing what they were worrying about.

The concubines headed by Concubine Jiang were also waiting anxiously. They must know that Emperor Cheng Qing is the existence for them to settle down and live in. If the other party has any shortcomings, these concubines will be promoted to concubines, and their treatment will not be bad at all.

Especially after they had just learned that the eldest prince and the third prince had killed each other in the front hall, they felt even more frightened. The two elder princes were dead, and now only the ten-year-old fourth prince and the prince were alive. How can the fifth prince, who is only seven years old, be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of his family and country? It is conceivable what will happen to them, the concubines of the late emperor, when Xiao Chu, a powerful eunuch, is not in power.

Not only were these concubines anxious, but also the ministers who rushed over after receiving the news felt inexplicable.

All in all, how did the eldest prince and the third prince get the news that Emperor Cheng Qing had passed away? There was no bell ringing in the palace, and martial law was not started in the capital. How did such unfounded and unfounded news reach the two of them? The prince's ears convinced them so much that in order to seize the opportunity to fight for the throne, they simply forced the palace and killed each other.

If it hadn't been for this incident, Emperor Cheng Qing wouldn't have been so angry that he passed out and was still awake now, with his life and death uncertain.

The anxious ministers couldn't help but slightly raised their heads and glanced at the man standing beside the dragon couch. The man's expression calmed down, and the anger in the past was gone. He was wearing smoky gray uniforms, calm and calm, and still holding a hand. A string of jasper beads obtained from unknown sources looks more like a Buddha.

Something was wrong, what was Governor Xiao's temper in the past? These ministers all knew that this factory owner who frequently ransacked homes and destroyed families was not such a good-tempered person, and they didn't know if what happened tonight had something to do with him.

The eldest prince and the third prince are the biggest obstacles for Xiao Chu to take power. As long as they die, any of the remaining two little princes will be his puppet. Now if His Majesty dies, he can immediately rely on a His Majesty's oral edict dictated by him, or a forged edict to announce the succession to the throne. At that time, it will not be certain whether the world belongs to the Zongzheng family or to Xiao Chu.

The only good thing about him is that he is an eunuch. No matter how much the other party makes, the country will return to the hands of the Zongzheng clan sooner or later.

The ministers' minds were wandering. They glanced at the other important ministers around them. Looking at this one, they felt that the other party was Xiao Chu's person. Looking at that one, they felt that the other party might be involved with Xiao Chu. Facing the unknown forces, they all decided to protect themselves wisely, no matter what. Whatever Xiao Chu decides to do, take one step at a time. If you want to be a loyal minister, you have to consider the lives of the whole family.

Look at the fate of the loyal general Yan Zhaonan and his family. Their ancestors have sacrificed their lives and blood for the Zongzheng clan for generations. They were not slaughtered after the review of the Northwest War. If Yan Zhaonan had been vigilant, he would never have ended up like this. The whole family died tragically and their bodies were exposed in the wilderness.

Emperor Cheng Qing felt that his fig leaf was covering up well. In fact, if he used his brain a little bit, he could figure out everything that happened.

So the lesson is there, being a loyal minister will not bring good results. For an incompetent monarch like Emperor Cheng Qing, it is not worth risking the lives of his entire family.

In this world, one peck and one drink are predetermined. I'm afraid Emperor Chengqing didn't know that his plan that he thought was a good move at the beginning made him fall into an isolated and helpless situation. This may be retribution.

"Ah-wuwu-"

"Wake up, your Majesty is awake."

Under the acupuncture of the imperial doctor, Emperor Cheng Qing, who had his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were confused at first, and then a trace of panic and anger flashed through his eyes. He turned his head with all his strength, trying to find Jiang Fengjiao and Jiang Fengjiao. Xiao Chu was an adulterer, a wife and a traitor, but he was speechless. Even a simple action like raising his arm was as difficult as heaven.

The concubines waiting on the side saw that Emperor Qing had woken up, and quickly pushed aside the imperial doctors to surround him. Concubines like Wan Qilan, who didn't care about the emperor's favor, still stood aside and watched quietly, with a casual expression on their faces. A little worried.

"Your Majesty, you are finally awake. You don't know how worried I am about you."

Of course Jiang Fengjiao was at the front of the crowd. Emperor Cheng Qing finally raised his hand to point at her nose and curse, but she held it in her hand and then pressed her body against his chest, crying out in worry.

"I know that Your Majesty is sad about the unfilial piety of the two princes, but Your Majesty still has a concubine and our fifth prince. Please take good care of yourself for the sake of my concubine and the fifth prince."

"woo woo woo woo--"

Emperor Cheng Qing's eyes almost popped out of his head with anger. The concubines who had been paying attention to Emperor Cheng Qing felt that it was a bit strange for His Majesty to be like this. But thinking about what happened tonight, the two adult princes, the eldest prince and the third prince, His successive deaths were all due to the grave crime of treason, such as forcing the emperor to convict. No matter how angry and sad His Majesty is, it is understandable.

Including the court officials, they all thought so.

"Mr. Liu, how is your Majesty's health?"

Yan Chu's eyes met the emperor who was glaring at him, and he slowly opened his mouth and asked towards the palace where the acupuncture had just been performed.

"Your Majesty is very angry. I just checked your Majesty's pulse. Your Majesty is probably having a stroke."

Doctor Liu glanced at Emperor Cheng Qing, then quickly lowered his head and knelt down. As soon as he knelt down, the other doctors behind him also knelt down.

Stroke!

Such symptoms can be serious or minor. Considering the fact that Emperor Cheng Qing couldn't even speak just now, his symptoms are definitely not mild. I am afraid that he will have to stay in bed in the future. Such an emperor is really qualified to be an emperor. Location?

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Emperor Chengqing didn't believe it. He was in good health and he would attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven soon.

wrong.

Emperor Cheng Qing suddenly realized that Xiao Chu was a remnant of the Yan family. Could it be that Taoist Priest Qingyun and the so-called Taoist priests he found through Xiao Chu had already been bribed by him? Over the years, he Are the things he eats elixirs for his ascension, or poisons?

Although the person was paralyzed, Emperor Cheng Qing's mind was clearer than before.

“Ahhhhh——”

Thinking this way, Emperor Cheng Qing became even more crazy. He kept howling and drool dripped from the corners of his lips. Coupled with the way his eyes were crooked and his mouth was slanted at this time, he felt nauseated when he saw those noble concubines. He took a step back slightly, trying to get further away from the emperor who had suffered a stroke.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"His Majesty--"

Emperor Cheng Qing fainted, and the concubines who were a little disgusted with him suddenly gathered around him again. They all stepped forward and called Emperor Cheng Qing softly, as if they wanted to wake him up. They formed a group one by one, surrounded by the strong fragrance and noise. Emperor Cheng Qing just held his breath for a short time. When he woke up the next second, he once again fell into a coma because of the "nervousness" of these concubines.

There was another war and chaos, and the imperial doctors were busy treating him. Obviously, staying in Emperor Cheng Qing's bedroom was not a good choice. Under the leadership of Yan Chu, the ministers, as well as several concubines who gave birth to princes and princesses, walked towards the front hall. go.

"Mr. Liu, please tell the ministers what your Majesty's situation is."

Yan Chu's cold had not yet healed. At this time, he was holding a white jade snuff bottle in his hand. He put it under his nose and took a slight sniff. After his nose became slightly clearer, he spoke.

"Your Majesty has suffered a strong stimulation, which has hurt his heart. Now he cannot speak or move. Even if he uses the best materials and treasures, at most he can only prolong his life, but he cannot cure the stroke. "

Dr. Liu knelt down as he spoke: "I would also like to ask you, ladies and gentlemen, and Governor Xiao to forgive me for my lack of academic skills and my inability to cure your majesty's illness. Perhaps there are experts among the people who can advertise to hire folk miracle doctors to treat your majesty."

"Nonsense, Your Majesty has a body of millions of dollars. The best doctors in the whole Dashang have gathered at Tai Hospital to let those three-legged cat-level quack doctors treat His Majesty's illness. If His Majesty's body is damaged, will you be responsible for it, Doctor Liu, or will you? Is this palace responsible?”

Jiang Fengjiao dismissed Doctor Liu's words without thinking.

What a joke, now that Emperor Cheng Qing is paralyzed, the eldest prince and the third prince are also dead. This is the best ending she wants to see. Although when her son ascends the throne, there is still a supreme emperor who is suppressing her, which makes people uncomfortable. It's refreshing, but since he is mute and paralyzed, he can't make any waves. It's good to keep him, or he can be used as a decoration to intimidate Xiao Chu.

Jiang Fengjiao didn't know about the grudge between Yan Chu and Emperor Cheng Qing. She only thought that Xiao Chu planned this series of things because of his ambition. In her opinion, the people of Dashang should inherently have a sense of awe for the emperor. Including herself, although she betrayed Emperor Cheng Qing for her powerful position, she still felt a little uneasy in her heart.

Comparing her feelings with others, she felt that the same was true for Yan Chu, otherwise the other party should have killed Emperor Cheng Qing and eradicated the roots, instead of leaving him alive and letting him linger.

Little did she know that Yan Chu just thought it would be too pleasant to let him die like that. He kept him alive just to make him suffer the heart-piercing pain day and night, and to experience that every day of his original life was like being in hell. After suffering for a year, the pain was worse than death.

Jiang Fengjiao's words were recognized by some of the courtiers. In fact, a few years ago, Emperor Cheng Qing had stopped dealing with court affairs. Whether he was paralyzed or not, it had no particularly significant impact on the current operation of the court. It would be better to just be direct. Promote him to be the Supreme Emperor, and quickly establish the new monarch as more reliable.

Although the fourth and fifth princes are still young, the two princes have already shown good talents while still studying in the palace. They only need to patiently train the princes who succeed them, and then look for opportunities to seize them from the eunuch Xiao Chu. The power of the Zongzheng clan is not a bad idea.

"Now that things have come to this, I still have to ask Your Majesty to establish a new king."

Yan Chu spoke amidst Jiang Fengjiao's excited expression. From the beginning to the end, he never glanced in Wan Qilan's direction.

"That's right."

"That makes sense."

The courtiers discussed one after another, but they were also a little confused. With His Majesty in such a state, how could he appoint a new king? Who was more appropriate to appoint, the fourth prince or the fifth prince?

"Establishing a new king is the foundation of the country. Such a major matter should be left to your Majesty to decide personally."

As soon as Yan Chu finished speaking, an imperial doctor who had been guarding the dormitory hurried over and said happily: "Your Majesty is awake again."

"Now that His Majesty has woken up, please ministers please come in with me."

Yan Chu put away the snuff bottle, ignored Jiang Fengjiao's suddenly frightened and confused expression, and walked ahead.

*****

"Ah-wu-"

He didn't agree to let him be the Supreme Emperor. Emperor Chengqing was furious. He was the emperor. This was the throne he took from his brothers and emperors. He was not dead yet, so how could it be the turn of others to sit.

"Your Majesty is also requested to choose a new king as soon as possible to appease the people."

Yan Chu stood beside the bed and said in a calm voice.

Today's Dashang is not monolithic. After more than 20 years of recuperation, the Northwest Yi tribe that was conquered by Yan Zhaonan is gradually showing signs of making a comeback. The borders of Dashang in recent years have not been peaceful at all.

In addition, natural disasters such as droughts and floods have occurred frequently in Dashang in recent years, making people's lives in some areas difficult. Once it is reported that Emperor Chengqing suffered a stroke and was paralyzed, and Dashang has not yet determined a new emperor to succeed him, I am afraid that not only The Northwest Yi tribe will take advantage of the situation and move in, and those interested people in the disaster-stricken areas will become unable to sit still.

Xiao Chu's words were reasonable and reasonable. Even some ministers who looked down on him had to agree and nod, asking Emperor Cheng Qing to make up his mind as soon as possible.

"The fourth prince's biological mother, Lan Bi, was born into the Wanqi clan and has impure blood. The fifth prince's biological mother, Concubine Jiang, is deeply favored by His Majesty. Moreover, the fifth prince is talented and intelligent. Wei Chen believes that the fifth prince is the best candidate to be the next emperor."

The minister who had agreed with Yan Chu's words a second ago paused in his original nodding action after hearing what he said, and showed an expression on his face that was indeed true.

The fifth prince is younger than the fourth prince, and his mother's family is not visible, so it is easier to control. Xiao Chu chose the other prince to succeed, which completely shows his wolf ambition.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Emperor Cheng Qing was so angry that he wanted to slap the bed board. As expected, these adulterers and adulterers had hooked up very early. That bitch Jiang Fengjiao actually betrayed him for a castrate. It's disgusting, disgusting.

Originally, Emperor Cheng Qing loved the youngest son, the fifth prince, the most, partly because of his love for Wujiwu. Now Jiang Fengjiao was despised by him, and the fifth prince Zongzheng Qingde was also disliked by him.

If they want him to follow their wishes and let the fifth prince succeed to the throne, stop dreaming.

"If Your Majesty likes the fourth prince, then blink once. If he likes the fifth prince, blink twice."

Yan Chu turned his back to the courtiers and stared at Emperor Cheng Qing with threatening eyes.

"Ho-ho-ho-"

Emperor Chengqing was so angry that he laughed. This was to threaten him. If he didn't follow his heart and make Lao Wu emperor, would he kill him?

It just so happened that with his current appearance, he was worse off than dead. Especially in the future, he would have to look at this adulterer and adulterous couple like a living dead. He would live like a year, so he might as well die completely.

Emperor Chengqing was a little crazy, and the courtiers all thought that His Majesty was crazy. After a lot of rustling comments came from below, Emperor Chengqing calmed down a little.

Facing Yan Chu's gaze, he blinked slowly, then widened his eyes and never blinked again.

Although the fourth child was not valued by him, and the fourth child's biological mother, Lan Bi, was also a dull beauty in the palace, his victory was because he had the most difficult Wanqi clan standing behind him. Xiao Chu wanted to attack the fourth child, but he still We have to see if the Wanqi clan agrees.

Jiang Fengjiao paid attention to the changes in the situation and clenched her fists tightly. The situation was obviously so good before. Xiao Chu was stupid and let Emperor Cheng Qing make his own decision. Now that it is good, it is difficult to get off the tiger. Could it be that he has been waiting for Emperor Cheng Qing? Her eyes were sore and she couldn't blink a second time. Those ministers were not fools. Unless they were all killed, it would be unfair to wait for her son to ascend the throne.

"Your Majesty has chosen the fourth prince to ascend the throne. From now on, preparations will begin for the new emperor's coronation ceremony. As for Empress Lan, from now on, it's time to call you Empress Dowager."

Yan Chu took a deep look at Emperor Cheng Qing, and with the proud look in his eyes, he turned around and knelt down towards Wan Qilan: "May the Queen Mother be blessed with peace and prosperity, may she live a thousand years, a thousand years."

"May the Queen Mother be blessed with good health and may you live a thousand years, a thousand years."

The emperor who was personally selected by Emperor Cheng Qing, as the biological mother of the new emperor, Wan Qilan was definitely the Queen Mother. After Yan Chu knelt down and bowed his head, other courtiers also knelt down and shouted Qian Sui.

I didn’t expect that Governor Xiao could accept the fourth prince’s ascension to the throne so easily. It seems that Governor Xiao still has some scruples. Although the fourth prince has a foreign bloodline, it now seems that the advantages of his becoming the throne outweigh the disadvantages, and he is at least better than the fifth prince. Quite a few, besides, the crown prince chosen by Emperor Cheng Qing himself was justifiable, so what else could they be dissatisfied with.

"Xiao——"

Jiang Fengjiao was stunned. Everything was completely different from what they had agreed upon. Zongzheng Qingqi had ascended the throne, so why would she act in a play with Xiao Chu? Her biggest supporter was paralyzed.

She was about to question Yan Chu when she watched the little eunuch standing silently behind Yan Chu take out a jade hairpin from his arms and break it in front of her.

Jiang Fengjiao turned pale with fright. She recognized that this hairpin was the jade hairpin her prince was wearing today.

Yan Chu was threatening her, but also, he had killed the eldest prince and the third prince, so it didn't matter if there was another fifth prince. As long as the fourth prince was still alive, he could still support a puppet, and An Xin regarded him as essentially The regent.

Jiang Fengjiao's delicate teeth chattered. She was too stupid to seek skin from a tiger. Regret almost swallowed Jiang Fengjiao up. She glared at Yan Chu with resentment, wishing to eat him alive.

But the situation is stronger than the people. She has relied on the fifth prince for her whole life and her life and death are uncertain. She can only endure it. Only by living can she hope for the future.

Wan Qilan looked at Yan Chu kneeling in front of her with a complicated expression. She knew that she could not step forward to help him up under so many eyes.

Everything that happened tonight was beyond her expectation. Obviously her plan to help the Yan family rehabilitate was still in progress, but the other party had quietly defeated his biggest enemy, and as he said, let Qier became the new emperor, making her the queen mother.

It seems that everything is about to usher in the light, but Wan Qilan's heart becomes more and more uneasy. She feels that maybe it is not until now that they are really on opposite sides. Once she makes any wrong decision, they will really There is no chance of recovery.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Emperor Cheng Qing felt something was wrong after Yan Chu calmly accepted his choice. Didn't the other party have an affair with Jiang Fengjiao and wanted to support the fifth son to ascend the throne? Why didn't he fight for it now and accept the fact that the fourth son ascended the throne so obediently?

He felt that he had fallen into a trap. This trap was set by Xiao Chu for him from the beginning.

When Emperor Cheng Qing turned his eyes to Wan Qilan and saw the flash of longing and pain in his eyes, he understood and became angry.

This traitor, this eunuch, he not only hooked up with Jiang Fengjiao, he also seduced Lan Bin.

He is a eunuch, why should he?

Emperor Chengqing was so angry that he felt that the entire harem had united to give him a green hat.
