The eldest son of the red mansion

But I don't know if it was intentional, or the emperor was negligent, and the emperor didn't write the imperial decree about the abolition of the empress.

After all, the Supreme Emperor was old, so he thought this matter was not the most important thing, and thought that after the emperor's major affairs were settled, the empress would be abolished and Jia Yuanchun established, so he didn't take it to heart.

Under the support of Dai Quan, the Taishang Emperor raised his body and looked at the decree, only to see that it did as he ordered, and it read: Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, and the imperial edict said: Jia Ke's meritorious service is outstanding and shining in the history books. Now that he has returned from the Northern Expedition, he is specially named Jia Ke As the prime minister, he also takes the post of general, and handles all important military and state affairs on my behalf. In the future, there is no need to report to me, and he will be directly sent to the prime minister to get along with him.This is it.

The Supreme Emperor nodded after reading it, and then waved his hand feebly, which meant to send out the imperial decree as soon as possible.

The emperor turned around and said to Xia Shouzhong, "Who in our palace is closer to Jia Ke?"

Xia Shouzhong thought for a while and said: "Jia Ke has never had any contact with anyone in the palace. If it is said that they are relatively close, there is only Gao Quan, the head of the Qianqing Palace. This person has sent Jia Ke several times. He also has some contacts with Jia Ke. .”

After listening to the emperor, he immediately ordered, "Let this Gao Quan deliver the decree."

After the emperor finished speaking, he handed the imperial decree to Xia Shouzhong, which meant to let him do this matter.

Xia Shouzhong was a little helpless after receiving the imperial edict, and slowly withdrew from the Supreme Emperor's palace.He breathed a sigh of relief when he came to the courtyard of Ningshou Palace. It was too depressing just now in the palace of the Supreme Emperor.

Xia Shouzhong sighed. He thought that the third prince would be able to suppress Jia Ke when he became emperor, but he did not expect that Jia Ke would make it happen.

After Xia Shouzhong sighed, he took a few young eunuchs and hurried to Qianqing Palace.

The emperor felt very uncomfortable watching Xia Shouzhong leave Ningshou Palace, because he knew that once this imperial decree was spread, he would really be alone.

The Taishanghuang saw the grief and indignation on the emperor's face, coughed, and then said: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, there is still one thing I haven't told you, I wanted to wait, and I will tell you in detail when I die. Now it seems the time has come."

After the Supreme Emperor finished speaking, he waved his hands to the people around 4 weeks, and the maids and eunuchs in the Supreme Emperor's bedroom immediately retreated.

Only the Supreme Emperor, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor are left in this palace.

But the Supreme Emperor did not speak immediately, and said to the Empress Dowager next to him: "I feel that the ginseng soup is not enough, you can boil some more for me."

A cold light flashed in the Empress Dowager's eyes, and she understood what it meant, so she stood up and silently exited the bedroom, leaving the entrance to the father and son.

Seeing that all the people had gone out, the Supreme Emperor called the emperor to his side, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "There are still ghosts and gods in this world, and in the underworld, our ancestors have already laid a good foundation. A large piece of foundation, as long as it is passed down from the dynasty and supported by the ancestors underground, you will be able to tide over the difficulties."

After the emperor heard it, he was already dumbfounded. Although he knew about some ghosts and gods, this is the first time you heard that their ancestors had established a foothold in the underworld.

So the emperor asked impatiently: "Why didn't the ancestors protect our world, except for the scourge of Jia Ke?"

After hearing this, the emperor looked sad, "Now the secrets of the heavens have changed, and the ancestors are also incapable of dividing themselves. Besides, the underworld cannot directly interfere with the affairs of the world, and can only get rid of Jia Ke's seniors in the underworld for us. I will not discuss this matter with you." Having said that, after Zhen collapses, you will naturally understand when you go to the Fengxian Hall to worship your ancestors."

After the Taishanghuang finished speaking these words, he was exhausted, closed his eyes, and refused to say another word.

Besides, when Xia Shouzhong arrived at Qianqing Palace, it was already in chaos.

Ever since they knew that the Imperial Palace was surrounded by the Imperial Army, these people knew that something was wrong.So many people began to find their own way.And Gao Quan and Jia Ke have dealt with each other several times, and they have some sympathy, so there are too many people who come to him to intercede.

When Xia Shouzhong entered the side hall of the former Qing Palace, Gao Quan was being surrounded by a group of eunuchs to compliment him.

Xia Shouzhong coughed beside him, which attracted their attention.Everyone watched Xia Shouzhong come and was startled.But immediately his face calmed down again.These eunuchs in the palace are the most down-to-earth eunuchs. If it was before, they would come over to greet Xia Shouzhong one by one, but now that Jia Ke is about to hit the capital, who is going to deal with this eunuch who is not good with Jia Ke? Still in the eyes.

Only Gao Quan knew that Xia Shouzhong still had some rights, so he came forward to salute him and said, "Director Xia is here at Qianqing Palace, what do you want to tell me?"

Although Gao Quan saluted Xia Shouzhong now, he didn't have the fearful expression on his face like before.There was even a hint of arrogance on his face.

Watching Gao Quan also understand the current situation, he has dealt with Jia Ke several times, and he has helped Jia Ke. It's the same, he and Jia Ke are life-and-death rivals, if there is a slight discrepancy, their lives will be lost immediately.

Xia Shouzhong didn't care about this either. After all, a shedding phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken, so he smiled and said to Gao Quan: "Gao Gonggong, this time the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor asked you to run errands. Send an imperial decree to Lord Jia Kejia In the camp."

After Xia Shouzhong finished speaking, he sent the imperial decree to Gao Quan.

Gao Quan didn't dare to be negligent when he heard that it was an imperial decree. After receiving it with both hands, he asked cautiously: "Eunuch Xia, what does the emperor mean by this? Let me have a score in my heart, otherwise I won't know what to do when I see Lord Jia." How to tell."

Xia Shouzhong felt that there was no need to hide it now, and said to Gao Quan: "Anyway, you should take a look for yourself first, and be prepared when you meet Master Jia."

Only then did Gao Quan carefully open the imperial decree. He was both surprised and happy when he saw it. He was surprised that the emperor had handed over all the power of the imperial court to Jia Ke. He was happy that he had some contact with Jia Ke over the years. If Jia Ke takes charge of the imperial court, his status will also rise.

After reading the imperial decree, Gao Quan carefully rolled it up again. This time he raised his head, and saw that the last trace of caution just now was gone in his hands.

"Grandpa Xia, since this is the case, I won't delay any longer. I will take people out of Beijing in a while to pass the decree to Mr. Jia's camp. However, I have been staying in the capital all the time, and I don't know the specific marching route of Mr. Jia. I need Eunuch Xia to send someone to give me advice." When Gao Quan said this, he straightened his back and put himself on the same level as Xia Shouzhong.

Xia Shouzhong saw how successful Gao Quan was, and wished he could be dragged out and beaten to death right now.But he didn't have the guts.If the emperor was in power in the past, disposing of Gao Quan was like crushing an ant.But now that Jia Ke is about to return to Beijing to take power, this eunuch who has a pretty good relationship with Jia Ke.According to the past situation, he will definitely become the most powerful person in the harem.How dare I offend him now.

So Xia Shouzhong said with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, Eunuch Gao, I'll send a few people from the hidden guards to escort Eunuch Gao all the way to Lord Jia's camp."

Gao Quan nodded, and then said to the wives and supervisors around: "Everyone, that's it for today. The emperor has made Mr. Jia the prime minister, and he is also in charge of the general. I will go to Mr. Jia's camp to pass the decree to him. Let's talk again when I get back."

The eunuchs around were also quite surprised when they heard Gao Quan's words, but everyone had already expected Jia Ke to be in power, so they didn't show any different expressions, but they didn't expect the emperor to compromise.

But in the eyes of everyone, the emperor was just dying. Even if Jia Ke agreed, those under him would not let the emperor go so lightly.

Chapter 493 Blocking

After Gao Quan dismissed the eunuchs who flattered him, he recruited some of his confidant eunuchs.He planned to let these people accompany him out of Beijing and go to Jia Ke's camp to pass the decree.

Then Gao Quan went back to his bedroom and began to prepare for action. After about a stick of incense, he returned to the side hall of the Qianqing Palace. At this time, Xia Shouzhong was already impatient.

Seeing that Gao Quan was ready, Xia Shouzhong said to Gao Quan: "Eunuch Gao, I will send two followers. When the time comes, Eunuch Gao will be able to find Mr. Jia's camp as long as he follows them."

Gao Quan cupped his hands and said to Xia Shouzhong: "Then there will be Mr. Lao Xia, and I will wait for them outside the gate of Qianqing. I hope Mr. Xia will send them here earlier, so that there will be no delay."

When Gao Quan spoke now, he was very confident, as if Xia Shouzhong was just his subordinate, even more arrogant than before.

After listening to Gao Quan's high-spirited words, Xia Shouzhong held back the anger in his heart, and said with a smile on the surface: "Of course, I'll go and gather people right now, please wait a moment, Eunuch Gao."

After Xia Shouzhong finished speaking, he bowed his hands to Gao Quan and left the side hall of the Qianqing Palace. After he left the side hall, he spat hard in Gao Quan's direction and cursed, "If a villain succeeds, I will How long can you be happy?"

After Xia Shouzhong finished speaking, he ordered a young eunuch beside him to go to the outermost courtyard of the palace to choose two fans for Gao Quan.Let them take Gao Quan to Jia Ke's camp to pass the decree.

But Xia Shouzhong himself no longer talked about Gao Quan, but went back to Ningshou Palace to report to the two supreme beings.

After Gao Quan dressed up, he led the people outside the Qianqing Palace. Now Gao Quan just felt refreshed. The oppressive atmosphere in the palace for so many years seemed to be swept away.

When Gao Quan was narcissistic there, two members of the secret guards came to him, knelt down on one knee and said, "The little ones please pay respects to Mr. The father-in-law led the way."

Gao Quan took a closer look at the two people who were just ordinary-looking, and didn't see anything special about them, but Xia Shouzhong sent him to his side, presumably they were two clever people.

After Gao Quan observed the two people, he stretched out his hand to them.

Seeing this situation, these two fans were a little confused. What are they doing?Solicit a bribe from yourself?

Gao Quan saw that these two people were in a daze and said unhappily: "I'll show you your tokens. You have been working in the palace for so many years, don't you know the rules?"

These two people only now understood what Gao Quan meant, so they quickly took out the token from their bosom and sent it to Gao Quan.

Gao Quan casually missed a glance, then threw the token to the little eunuch who was following him.

Then Gao Quan said as if nothing had happened: "Since you are here, you should do your job well and don't play any tricks. When the time comes, Master Jia will find out, and our family will not be able to save you."
