Uncle Guo

From Nangong to the capital, take the waterway, first to Tongzhou, then abandon the boat and mount a horse, pass through the Qihua gate to enter the capital, pass through the Yongding gate to enter the imperial city, pass through the Taihe gate to enter the palace city, pass through the Donghua gate to enter the forbidden center, Naturally, there are nine gates to enter the capital city, seven gates to enter the imperial city, four outer gates to enter the palace city, and four inner gates to enter the forbidden city. But now there is only one road in front of Han Yunyan. Another possibility.

Passing through the four gates, passing through five passes and beheading six generals all the way, that would be his bloody road to the throne.Although the emperors of the past dynasties naturally inherited half of the emperors, there was also the other half of the emperors. The road they walked was more difficult and tortuous than his. countless.

In the night, Han Yunyan turned his gaze away from staring at the starry sky and looked back. He looked at Liang Xuanchen's blind eyes. They were a pair of miraculous eyes, as black as lacquer and as bright as stars, but they were—— blind.Or, his eyes are blind, but his heart is abnormally clear. Such a person has been hidden in the mountains for many years, and once he enters the world, he will strategize and plan the world.

"You don't seem to be afraid at all?" Liang Xuanchen asked.

"Afraid, why aren't you afraid?" Han Yunyan sighed softly. "When I was a child, I opened a black shop with my adoptive mother. I didn't even blink my eyes when I killed and robbed goods. Although I can't write the words life like grass, I have already understood it. Later, I went back to the East Palace. A dog killed a young eunuch, and my own mother drew me into a blood gourd. I didn’t know how to repent at that time, and I hated her very much, thinking why she didn’t die. Later, my uncle took me to wear Walking in the streets and alleys, seeing the people's livelihood in the market, watching the three teachings, seeing how the big girl gets on the sedan chair, watching how the Zongjiao children carry their schoolbags to school, watching the title of the young man of the Imperial College, and seeing how the old mother of the master's family is dying and serving her knees. Since then , I realized that people in this world live like this, and feel that it is really good to live. Not only is it good for me to live, but others, even people I don’t like very much, don’t want him to die. So you ask I am afraid or not, of course I am. If I take this step, not only will I die, but so many people will be implicated. But if I don’t do this, my mother will die, and the mother clan behind my mother will also be unable to escape. In one calamity, how many people will die?"

"However, even if you can survive at this age and successfully ascend the throne, you will not be able to take charge of the government. It must be your mother who controls the government. Are you willing?"

Han Yunyun thought for a while, and asked instead, "Uncle, I have heard of your name for a long time. Are you willing to hide in the mountains with your talent and appearance?"

Liang Xuanchen smiled, "Your father has always been jealous of your mother's family, including me naturally. I was born in a general family since I was a child, and I have seen the ups and downs of the officialdom. I don't care much about fame. It is not my ambition to serve the country with loyalty and loyalty."

"If I survive this test, are you willing to come out to help me?"

"Your mother can be worth ten uncles, and besides, she has a heart for the world, so how can I use me? In this world, there is not much more than me, and there is not much less than me. I just came together by chance when you were in danger." Those who help you, help you, are also helping Ah Yuan. All the scholars in this world are willing to show their ambitions at the feet of the emperor. After your father's reign, he has already left a lot of talents for you, waiting for you to get through this After one pass, I really don’t need me anymore, what you need are civil and military officials.”

"However, I'm afraid I won't gain their loyalty."

"You don't have to be afraid of this. Back then, your father's name was not right, and he still became the Ninth Five-Year Supreme. Now you are a rightful prince. Although you have been abolished, I think your younger brothers are still young, let alone replace you. As for Manchu civil and military, they are loyal to the monarch, that monarch can be you or someone else, it doesn't matter. Even, they may not all be loyal to the monarch and patriotic. As long as they have the ability, it is human nature to seek fame and fortune. people can be used by you."

Han Yunyun was thoughtful.

"Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about it after passing through this test, and everything else is empty talk."

Liang Xuanchen told Han Yunyun of his plan to go directly into the forbidden area from Tongzhou. This was conspired by him, Gu Changfeng, Liang Qingyu, and Chang Qinghe, and they were also in charge.Gu Changfeng's "little servant" Shi Zhaoda was born in the army, and he was regarded as a dead soldier of the Gu family. He was appointed as the head of a hundred households at a young age, and the two masters and servants were inextricably linked with many generals in the imperial army. , There are more than a thousand people who can be mobilized.Liang Qingyu became famous at a young age, and has been in and out of the East Palace for many years. He is also romantic, generous, generous, and there are many maids, eunuchs, eunuchs, and guards in the palace who are willing to open the city gate for him. Those who dare to risk their heads to steal the door talisman token Naturally, it is also well-found.As for Chang Qinghe, who used to be the commander-in-chief of the three passes in eastern Liaodong, although he had been dormant for several years, his subordinates were all Qiu Ba who fought on the battlefield with his head pinned to his trouser belt. what they bring.The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a short time, now is the time when men and horses are needed. He held that soldier talisman in his hand. When he was about to let go of the military power, he found a skilled craftsman to secretly copy the soldier talisman that could be faked.When he suddenly appeared in the army on that day, the old subordinates of the year would not verify the authenticity of the soldier talisman. He has military power outside, and there are more carefully selected desperadoes among his close guards. In times of crisis, he will overcome obstacles and blaze a trail of blood.

In the end, Liang Yuncheng's Lu Bingwen had polished his saber. He didn't bring many people with him, only twelve, and these twelve masters with unique skills were guarding the prince's side.Han Yunyan is going to succeed to the throne, not to plot rebellion. He can't bring a large army into the imperial city. If the successor written in Emperor Daxing's edict is not him, then this move is a coup d'état for usurping the throne. There is no way out.

Chang Qinghe said that it was his plan to go back to Liaodong and go up the mountain to become a bandit. If it really failed, Han Yunmi and the Liang family in the imperial city would definitely be punished by the nine clans.

The 15-year-old boy stood with his hands behind his back, with a calm attitude.

Although Liang Xuanchen couldn't see it, he could feel this kind of calmness from his words. Such a person is indeed worthy of the Ninth Five Supreme.

From Tongzhou, a caravan dressed as a grain transporter passed through Qihua Gate, which was the first step.Hide whereabouts at the best friend's house in Liang Yuncheng in the eastern suburbs, or hide in the house arranged by Gu Changfeng, wait for the news from the palace, choose the right time to enter the imperial city, this is the second step.The emperor went on a grand trip, and Han Yunyi, as the prince, helped the spirit to carry the coffin, knocked on the Yongding Gate, and called the Taihe Gate to enter the palace. If he couldn't, he could only let the people inside the gate respond. middle.

It must be chosen on the night of the emperor's grand visit. At that time, the imperial guards will stand by the emperor's side. If the new emperor does not stand Han Yunyi, he must be another prince in the palace.Han Yunyan was the first to arrive in front of the emperor in hemp and filial piety. It didn't matter what was written in the imperial decree. Among the courtiers, literati were nothing to be afraid of, and Fu Minghui was the most troublesome.

Liang Xuanchen asked Chang Qinghe, "If your opponent is Fu Minghui, what are your chances of winning?"

Chang Qinghe and Fu Minghui had never fought against each other.

They are all masters in the legend, they have never been defeated, they are all people who came from the mountain of corpses and blood, and they all survived to the end, and there will be a battle.

"Between life and death, it's not about winning or losing, it's about life and death."

Liang Xuanchen shook his head resolutely, "No, I always feel that something is wrong. Winning the world depends on strategy. Is it the courage of an ordinary man or the strength of a warrior?"

"Strategies are all in the court, inside the palace, at this time, it's just a plan to show poverty and a dagger appears, simple and straightforward."

Liang Xuanchen still shook his head, "If it was before, I would let you go, but now your heart is not so simple and straightforward. It should be said that you have never been a simple-minded person. You and Fu Minghui worked hard. If you die or become disabled, nothing will happen. After I succeed, I will survive, and the glory and wealth are nothing to worry about, I will soon forget you, and live and fly with others, are you willing?"

Liang Xuanchen was joking when he said this, and Chang Qinghe wanted to strangle him to death, but at this moment he laughed, "Forget it, at least I took your eyes away, even if you want to forget me."

"Didn't you say it's okay not to mention it?" Liang Xuanchen said impatiently.

"Do you think my side is the most prone to change?"

Liang Xuanchen clenched his hand, "Qing Yu and Lao Lu followed Yunyun into the palace, so you don't want to follow."

"Are you worried about my safety?"

Liang Xuanchen shook his head, then nodded again, "I'm worried about everyone's safety, but you have to leave us a way out, as agreed, if we fail, we will go to Liaodong together, and then plan later. It's not about being a bandit, Xin The emperor is young, his seat is not secure, and there is still room for change in everything, and King Yan did not ascend to the throne justifiably back then."

Chang Qinghe nodded, "That's great, I always feel more at ease when I'm by your side."

"What do you mean by following me? You go to Liaodong to prepare troops and horses, and I will naturally stay in the capital. Although I will not enter the palace, I have to cooperate with them internally and externally. If any link in this goes wrong, it will be a disaster for the whole family. Arrangement of Yunyun is a difficult problem, and changes must be prevented at any time."

Chang Qinghe knew the overall plan early in the morning. Escorting their nephew to the capital was just the beginning, and the next thing he had to experience was a wait full of variables. It might be tomorrow, or the emperor would suddenly recover from his illness and his dragon body would recover. Then everything he had done before would be in vain. , but also worried about how to send Han Yunyun back to Nangong in a legitimate way, and to dispel the emperor's doubts.

"Is there any further movement from Nangong?" Liang Xuanchen asked.

"As you expected, no." Chang Qinghe spoke in a business-like tone, but he wanted to reach out his hand. He knew it was not appropriate at this time and place, but he also knew that he could do it.

Liang Xuanchen couldn't see him, and couldn't guess what Chang Qinghe was thinking, but he naturally pulled Chang Qinghe's hand over and patted the back of his hand lightly. "The people guarding King Yi neglected their duties, so that no one was alive or dead. This is a serious crime. They are as anxious as ants on a hot pot right now, but they may not dare to report to the court. Think about it, you all know that the emperor is about to die. , Now the report is courting death. If the emperor dies, Han Yunyi is not written in the will, who cares about a lost prince? When another person ascends the throne, can the new emperor rush to find his elder brother? It may not be a death penalty if he can’t be found by then. They are also procrastinating. It’s best if the emperor didn’t know that King Yi was lost before he died.”

Liang Xuanchen wanted to take a gamble, so far, it seems that he won the gamble with this step.

As for whether Chang Qinghe should be counted as one of them when they entered the palace, they also debated for a long time. However, the other people all hoped that Chang Qinghe could enter the palace together and escort Han Yunyun until he ascended the throne. They didn't want the so-called retreat.

"They don't leave a way out, I have to leave it for everyone."

Liang Xuanchen decided to guard the capital and let Chang Qinghe Xingye rush to Liaodong.
