spring as old

The prince of Qi State conspired against him, and all those who attached to the rebellion were put to death.The ministers who were on good terms with the prince on weekdays were accused of various crimes, and were relegated, dismissed, exiled, and even sentenced to death.

The crown prince is wise, and all his contacts with him are virtuous and capable ministers. This turmoil has seriously damaged the vitality of the Qi country.At the same time, the princes also began to compete for the position of prince, among which the king of Yuzhang was the most popular, as if he had a posture of a new crown prince.

Pu Yang and Wei Xiu had expected it well, the emperor had indeed made arrangements, and he already had candidates for the lack of governors.But this candidate was not expected by everyone.He released Wang Gun, who was in command of Yulin, to take charge of the military administration of a prefecture.

There are three armies in the capital, one is Habayashi, which guards Ouchi; the other is Huben, which guards the nine gates of the imperial city;In addition, there are [-] sharp soldiers two days away from the capital, called the Xuanjia Army. This army is currently commanded by the chariot general Wei You.

Therefore, once there is a change in the court, the most important thing is the three teams in Beijing.

Originally, Wang Gun was in charge of Yulin, and Puyang had one of the three, which was an advantage, but the emperor suddenly sent Wang Gun out.

"Who is in charge of Habayashi?" Pu Yang asked anxiously.

Immediately someone replied: "General Wang left Beijing, and it was Zhang Yi who made up."

"Zhang Yi..." Pu Yang repeated, thoughtfully.

General Wei Zhang Yi has always acted alone in the court and never relied on anyone.It seems that His Majesty is going to choose a decent person to assist his eldest grandson.

At this critical juncture, General Wang was transferred from Habayashi, could it be that His Majesty became suspicious of Wang?Everyone was a little uneasy.Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Pu Yang immediately said calmly: "I'm afraid that the capital will not be peaceful these few months, so you should settle down in your own place and don't make any moves."

Everyone said yes, saluted and stepped back.

Wei Xiu didn't speak all the time, she was leaning on the back of the chair, concentrating on something.

In half a month, it will be Zhengdan, and another year has passed, and the storm is turbulent, and the dark tide is turbulent. I am afraid that there will be even bigger storms waiting for you in the temple in the coming year.

Pu Yang lifted the pot and replaced Wei Xiu's cup with hot tea.Wei Xiu didn't notice anything, her eyes kept looking at the spot in front of her, but she didn't look there, she was immersed in her own thoughts.

After a while, she seemed to have figured something out, looked at Puyang, and just about to speak, she suddenly coughed.Pu Yang hurriedly stepped forward to caress her back, comforting her.

Wei Xiu covered her mouth with a handkerchief, she coughed until her voice became hoarse, she finally stopped, and then she had the energy to talk to Pu Yang: "It's okay, it happens once or twice a year."

Her face was pale, and her lips were strangely red from coughing for a while.Pu Yang was very worried, and hurriedly said: "Go and rest, what medicine do you need? I'll send someone to fetch it." The mansion stocked up a lot of medicinal materials, just for Wei Xiu.

Wei Xiu had already gotten used to it, so she comforted her instead: "It will be fine in a few days, don't worry. I've asked someone to take the medicine, and I've used a pair of it, and it's much better."

She talked a lot better, but she still looked unstable, weak, and as thin as the setting sun in winter.Pu Yang looked at her worriedly, but there was no good way.In a person's life, the most helpless thing is birth, old age, sickness and death, even the emperor who claims to be the emperor can only let it go.

Wei Xiu took her hand and held it in his own to comfort her, and said in a different way: "Your Majesty ordered uncle to go out of Beijing, it must not be because of suspicion. If there is suspicion, he will not let him at this juncture. Go to such an important position. I guess His Majesty wants to train the army. The reputation of the Wang family is well known in the country, and it is also popular in the army. In just one or two days, someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely come to invite His Highness. Discuss this matter. Your Highness may wish to listen to the prime minister's opinion." The most important thing for them is the capital. Once the local forces are mixed, it is not easy to control. Now that the country is rich and the people are rich, it is not easy to create chaos in the local area. Put it aside for now.

Pu Yang said: "I understand."

Wei Xiu slowly breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had been relieved for a while, she patted the back of Pu Yang's hand, and said with a smile: "Madam, please take me back to my room."

Pu Yang couldn't hold back, chuckled out loud, got up as he said, took a blanket to cover her tightly, then pushed up the wheelchair and walked out of the hall.

Just after taking two steps, Wei Xiu said casually: "Does Your Highness have friendship with Zhi Jinwu?"

Pu Yang thought for a while, walked away, and said: "No, Jiao Yong, the ruler of gold, is more independent than Zhang Yi. Although Zhang Yi is not affiliated with the party, he still knows how to deal with the kings, but Jiao Yong doesn't even have a good face. Here, all the kings are afraid of him, and I have no shortcuts to make friends with him."

Wei Xiu shook her head: "Don't move lightly, Yulin, Huben, and Jinwuwei. Your Majesty must keep an eye on these three places the most." At this time, you can't be caught by someone.

Pu Yang also thought the same way, it is better to be still than to move, and the rainstorm is coming, they should be more stable.

It's just... "Why did Ah Xiu suddenly think of Zhi Jin Wu?" Pu Yang asked puzzled, she had never seen her mention Jiao Yong in the past, and in terms of wooing, Cai Li, who is now the general of Huben Zhonglang, is much softer than Jiao Yong. .

At this time, the cold wind happened to pass through, Wei Xiu covered her lips and coughed, Pu Yang couldn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly asked people to block the wind, and comforted Wei Xiu.

Because of the emperor's series of official transfers, and the importance he showed to Xiao Dewen, the atmosphere of the year in Beijing has even faded a bit.

There are nearly a thousand civil and military ministers of a certain rank in the capital, and there is no one who is optimistic about the emperor's eldest grandson. Without him, he is too young. Besides, most people have a favorite prince, and suddenly a newcomer comes out. Doesn't it mean that all the credit they have attached to and supported for many years has been wiped out?

People in the capital were panicked, everyone had their own guesses, but His Majesty never let go.Xiao Dewen received so many gazes like never before, he was both proud and frightened, he kept Wei Xiu's words firmly in mind, tried his best to straighten his chest, and acted neither arrogant nor discouraged, nor impatient.In this way, a small number of ministers gradually changed their minds, thinking that this might be a promising talent.

Until the Zhengdan Grand Ceremony, the King of Donghai County stood beside the emperor in court clothes and appeared in front of the courtiers. The ministers were both shocked and had a feeling that they had finally confirmed it.The kings were so angry that their eyes were red, and they fought for many years, but they took advantage of this little beast!Among the kings, who can be convinced?

How can Xiao Dewen and He De live in the East Palace?Not only the kings, but even many ministers thought that the emperor's eldest grandson was a little too young, and after the new year, he was only 11 years old.But his uncles are all in the prime of life, accumulated over the years, have a stable power in their hands, relying on interests, in-laws and many means to form alliances with many ministers, how can this be compared to Xiao Dewen.

All of a sudden there was chaos in the court, some were angry, some were skeptical, some were opposed, and some wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cling first.

The emperor didn't seem to know at all, and arranged one thing calmly.How could he not think of what the ministers thought of?He planned to do two things next, to strengthen the prestige of the emperor's eldest grandson, and at the same time, weaken the kings.Because of the changes in Qi State, the original two things had to be added, hoarding troops.

Troop training is not something that can be accomplished in ten days, and war is not something that can be fought immediately. Food, grass, corvee, soldiers, weapons, and generals who can command thousands of troops are all indispensable.The emperor asked Wang Gun to do this.Wang Gun's father was the prime minister, and many things would be much more convenient with the prime minister in charge.

The capital was in chaos, and by the end of February, someone was already preparing to submit a petition to establish the East Palace.

The clan is the most nervous, and to put it mildly, this is basically their Xiao family's business.Thinking of Puyang, everyone hurried over, wanting to make her stand out and ask His Majesty what he thinks.

The King of Jin was extremely annoyed. Since three years ago, he had not dared to go to the gate of Puyang. The body is from His Majesty, and it is also from the blood of the Xiao family, can you just stand by and see the humiliation of the child?"

The several kings were making a lot of noise, all wanting to ask Pu Yang to make a difference.We don't blame you for not being close to your brothers in the past, but at this juncture, you are still our younger sister, so you have to speak for us.

Pu Yang was in a bad mood, her beloved Axiu didn't recover after many years, but her condition got worse day by day. She stayed at home to take care of her son-in-law, but these people rushed over in a panic.

The kings also went to the doctor in a hurry.The emperor has a lot of prestige, and no one dares to disobey him, but no one is willing to give up the reserve position so easily after fighting for more than ten years.

The King of Jin watched them yelling coldly, and suddenly said: "Qiniang is so calm and relaxed, shouldn't she have known about the establishment of a grandson?"

There was a sudden silence in the hall, and everyone looked at Puyang in unison.

Pu Yang's expression suddenly turned cold, and he looked at Jin Wang and said coldly: "What is the meaning of this, Brother Jin? The matter of establishing the crown prince is related to the foundation of the country. If you refuse to speak clearly to the prime minister, you will agree to me? Brother Jin You are overestimating me!"

"Then how about Qiniang going to the table, please make Dewen king and leave the town." King Jin said again.

There was a sneer on Pu Yang's lips, Dai Wang's heart skipped a beat, knowing that Qiniang was angry, he shrank back quickly, but he also hoped that Pu Yang would agree to get Xiao Dewen out of Beijing.

"Brother Jin is very scheming. Your Majesty's sacred heart is arbitrary. No one dares to rebel. Jin Wang himself dare not offend His Majesty. Instead, he points at me to help you out of the fire." Pu Yang's tone became cold and hard.

Dai Wang was about to cry, shrank his body, and couldn't help but said: "Qiniang, you know Dad loves you, even if you don't agree, I won't blame you."

King Jing also said the same thing.

Zhao Wangdao: "Let that kid gain power, and we have no way to survive! Qiniang, brother, this is the only request. If your majesty is angry, the four of us will work together to protect you. No matter who we are lucky in the future... we will never forget today's kindness !"

As soon as this remark came out, the remaining three immediately agreed.

The four have never been so like-minded.They knew that going to Puyang had little effect, but in the past two months, they tried all the methods they could try. Two censors under Zhao Wang's family were demoted, Jin Wang was reprimanded, and several officials from the Dai Wang family were also frustrated. , King Jing was confined at home, and the ban was not lifted until the day before yesterday.The emperor seemed to have made up his mind, and more and more ministers began to waver. If this continued, there would be no place for them in the court!
