spring as old
Chapter 92
I don't know if it has snowed or the sky is cloudy, but today seems to be particularly bleak.
People along the street tightened their necklines to prevent the cold wind from blowing in.On weekdays, the busiest street has only a few scattered people, and it looks a bit deserted.
Everyone went home to avoid the snow. Looking at the weather, I'm afraid there will be heavy snow soon.
King Jin rode on a horse and galloped through the street, followed closely by several servants. Although they didn't know what happened, but seeing King Jin's serious expression, they cheered up and waited carefully.
A group of people went outside Jinwang's mansion.Then someone came forward to lead the horse.
King Jin got off his horse, walked quickly to the mansion, and asked with a sullen face, "Where is the princess?"
The family order who followed behind him was inexplicable, and carefully replied: "Your Highness, the concubine has gone out early in the morning." He still went out with him, did His Highness forget?
King Jin suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned his head and stared at him: "Wangfei hasn't returned home yet?"
Jialing was even more puzzled, but he was afraid of King Jin's power, so he didn't dare to ask a single word, and only replied cautiously: "Yes."
All the blood on King Jin's face faded, and panic gradually appeared in his eyes, and his hands hanging by his sides trembled uncontrollably.
The medicine doesn't work right away.After taking the medicine, he resigned and wanted to go to the harem to have lunch at his mother Concubine Shu's place, and also wanted to hear the news from the palace as soon as possible so that he could react in time.
But he was sneaky after all, and he was restless in Concubine Shu's palace.
Your Majesty is a cautious person, poisoning his food is more difficult than going to heaven.He had no choice but to do it himself. Over the past few months, he had acted obediently and deceived the emperor's trust, and finally found an opportunity today.
Since it is poison, it will definitely leave traces. He and Concubine Shu have arranged for several months and have already prepared, and the traces will be erased at the fastest speed without anyone noticing.Even if someone suspects him, they will never come up with evidence.
Seeing him pacing back and forth in the hall, Concubine Shu said, "If you are afraid, then don't do it. Now that you have done it, calm down." Her tone was full of hatred for iron.
King Jin hurriedly said yes and sat down.He was still flustered in his heart, but at least his face stabilized.
After a while, King Jin showed panic again and asked, "Concubine Mother, just now I met Concubine Wei on the road, and he suddenly entered the palace, what will happen? I heard that he is proficient in medical skills!"
Concubine Shu's face also had a flash of bewilderment, but she was afraid of something else: "Why did he choose to enter the palace today? Did you leak something in the palace!"
The King of Jin hurriedly said: "Although my son dare not call you careful, he also dare not make any omissions in this matter. Only you and my mother and son know about this matter, and it will never leak to the ears of the third party!"
Concubine Shu still couldn't believe it and looked at him sternly.
The King of Jin suddenly remembered: "The day before yesterday, Shang Shu Ling's birthday, son went to his house to celebrate his birthday. At that time, he met Concubine Wei. When he talked with everyone, he mentioned that he had recovered from his illness for many days and had not yet entered the palace. On this day, I will enter the palace. I don’t want to be in a hurry today.”
Is that a coincidence?Only then did Concubine Shu feel relieved.
At this moment, a servant came into the palace to report that the princess asked Jin Wang to return to the mansion quickly, and she had something important to tell.
King Jin was terrified when he heard the word "important matter".At a critical juncture, any incident may affect the overall situation.The King of Jin quickly asked, "Who came to deliver the message?"
The waiter was articulate and tactful, so he will describe it to others in the future.
There are so many servants in Prince Jin's mansion, and King Jin can't recognize all of them. He vaguely remembers that there seems to be such a person in the mansion. At first, he was not sure. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was such a person in the mansion.
The servant was very tactful, after finishing the report, he looked at the two of them eagerly, and did not want to leave immediately.Seeing this, Concubine Shu knew that she was asking for a reward.King Jin and Concubine Shu had some doubts just now, but now they are all gone. Which servant who faked the news would dare to ask for a reward?Ask someone to give him some money and send him away.
King Jin couldn't sit still any longer and wanted to go out of the palace: "When Your Majesty passed away, Er just stayed in the palace. It's even more suspicious."
Concubine Shu thought about it, and asked him to go back to the mansion: "This matter cannot be brought to you. Even if it is found that His Majesty died of poison, the evidence will be destroyed. You can rest assured, just wait..."
She didn't go on, the mother and son looked at each other, King Jin was encouraged by his mother, adding a bit of confidence.Standing up, he said neatly: "There is a mother and concubine in the palace!"
After finishing speaking, I left immediately.
As a result, when he returned to the mansion and asked, King Jin broke out in a cold sweat!
Seeing that King Jin's expression was getting paler, the family order also panicked, and stammered, "Yes...can I ask you, please, please Wangfei to return to the mansion?"
King Jin said decisively: "No need!" He turned his head and stared at the family order, "It is what the mansion should be, it is what it should be, there must be no difference."
"Yes Yes."
Since he was intentionally drawn out of the palace, I'm afraid there will be some changes in the palace.The king of Jin thought with trepidation, he wanted to send people to the palace to find out the news, but he hesitated. If people found out that he had acted afterwards, it would appear that he was unpredictable, and the court would definitely suspect him.
But if he didn't know anything in the mansion, King Jin was not stable.
Why would he be lured out of the palace? Could it be that someone knew in advance that he would attack?No, he acts strictly and will never leak the news.It must be just a coincidence!
Killing the king is a serious crime. Once exposed, the whole family will not escape death.
King Jin was already afraid, but now he panicked even more, trembling, he said, "Come here!"
"Your Highness?"
When people came, King Jin didn't know what order to give.He tried his best to stabilize his mind, if there were any accidents in the palace, he couldn't sit still, he gritted his teeth and said: "Send reliable people to watch at the palace gates to see if there is anything unusual."
Those who can serve by his side are those whom he trusts, not to mention loyalty, but also ability.
King Jin waited in the mansion, upset.
Waited for about an hour.
Someone came to report in panic: "Your Highness, the gate of the palace is blocked! Before, His Highness Pu Yang, His Highness King Zheng, and the Prime Minister entered the palace one after another, and there was no one else besides this!"
King Zheng, the head of the clan, the prime minister, and the head of all officials, if anything happens to the Xiao family, these two will definitely be there.As for Puyang, the King of Jin frowned in disgust, his eyes were full of hatred, since the man in the palace was a son-in-law, it was not strange for Puyang to enter the palace.
King Jin concluded that something must have happened in the palace.He began to think about how he should act in order to make a profit.
His Majesty passed away suddenly, and it was only a matter of course that the grandson succeeded to the throne.The King of Jin suddenly thought, at the age of Taisun, how to govern the country if he doesn't even know who can be an official?There must be an assistant minister, or a clan to supervise the country.It is impossible for the queen mother to come to court. Concubine Yan has never participated in the affairs of the court, and there are many capable people in the court, so it is not his turn.King Zheng also doesn't like to participate in political affairs, and I'm afraid it's not him, so it should be one of the four kings.
King Jin was pleasantly surprised. He found a shortcut, as long as he suppressed the other three kings.
After a while, Jingzhong must have noticed something strange in the palace.The king of Jin gathered his men and horses and prepared to go to the palace.
Unexpectedly, before he left the palace, someone from the palace came to summon King Jin into the palace.
King Jin: "..." I always feel a step too late.
Not only the king of Jin was called, but also some prestigious clans in the capital, ministers of the third rank and above were all included in the call.
King Jin quickly entered the palace and went straight to Xuande Hall.
The flags in the palace were all changed to white, and the red tassels on Habayashi's armor were also taken off. Many palace people who came and went had changed into white, and the further they went, the more palace people changed into mourning clothes.
Only then did the King of Jin notice that not only ministers, but even wives from inside and outside the palace had entered the palace.The normally extravagant wife took off her hairpin, her face full of grief.
There was constant crying in the palace.
Entering the Xuande Hall, such unscrupulous weeping will disappear.
Many ministers were crying, but their crying was extremely low, and they had two purposes.King Zheng covered his face with tears streaming down his face.The prime minister was supported by others, and he could hardly stand upright. The emperor was not only the lord, but also a very good son-in-law to his family.The grandson is also there, also mourning, but obviously more panic.
Pu Yang stood in the corner, the place closest to the inner room.Her eyes were very red and swollen, and there were still tears in her eyes, and her face was full of grief, so heavy, so real, and so dull.Wei Xiu was beside her, trying to comfort her, but she was also unconscious.
King Jin didn't care about the emperor at all, and he had to squeeze out a tear. What he wanted to know was who would succeed him.Many people in the palace are concerned about this issue.A country cannot be without a king for a day, mourning for the first emperor is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the successor.
When Dou Hui saw that almost everyone had arrived, he came out with an imperial edict.
"This is the edict of the first emperor." Dou Hui wiped his tears.
How could the King of Jin have a will if he received a slap in the face!
There were also whispers in the hall.
King Zheng wiped his tears, suppressed his crying with difficulty, and said: "Since it is a will, please read it out in the courtroom."
As soon as he made a sound, everyone knelt down together.
The posthumous edict is not long, and the general idea is that it is passed down to the grandson of the world. The new emperor is young, and he ordered Zheng Wang, the prime minister, and Princess Puyang to assist the young emperor and continue the rule of the Great Wei.
Overall, there's nothing weird about it.It's just that Princess Puyang is also among the assistant ministers, which is surprising.But no one dared to question it. There were three auxiliary ministers, all of whom were in the same imperial edict. If they questioned Puyang, it would be like questioning the other two.The prime minister commanded all the officials, and King Zheng was the most prestigious in the clan, and no one could provoke him.
King Jin was about to faint.If there is only one of these three assistant ministers, he can still try to mediate, but these three are all on the list of assistant ministers, what else can he do?
Everyone knelt to listen to the edict, and stood up after listening, suddenly felt that although this Xuande Hall was still Xuande Hall, it was different.
After all, King Jin couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "Please show the edict to all officials!" His Majesty died suddenly, there could be no edict, this edict must be fake!
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wang and the others said together: "Show all the officials clearly, and tell the truth!"
Taisun frowned, thinking it was coming for him, and glared at the four kings with anger in his eyes.But he has no majesty, and no one listens to him when he speaks.
Hundreds of officials are discussing, to be honest, this edict is very reasonable, the grandson is the crown prince, the accession to the throne is a matter of course, and the young emperor ascends the throne, it is also reasonable for the ministers to assist the government. As for the candidates, the prime minister and King Zheng are the best candidates , Secondly, the princess, although she is a girl, is also capable.Let the four kings assist the government, and the country will be in chaos.
The ministers are divided into two factions, some want to test, and some do not approve of it.For a while, the hall was chaotic.
Dou Hui was uneasy for a moment, looked at Wei Xiu, Wei Xiu nodded.Dou Huiyuan panicked, walked up to the Prime Minister as planned, and whispered a few words.The prime minister nodded, and said loudly: "Since it is the last emperor's edict, naturally not everyone can come and see it. If you want to verify it, please come forward to verify the authenticity!"
The hall fell silent.Everyone has no objection, Jiuqing has seen the emperor's handwriting, and it is natural to know whether it is true or not.
Wei Xiu looked at the chaos with cold eyes.She was always by Puyang's side, without saying a word.
"Axiu..." Pu Yang seemed not to have heard the debate in the hall, and called Wei Xiu softly.
Wei Xiu hurriedly turned her head and said, "I'm here."
Pu Yang's eyes seemed to be dead, she seemed to be looking at Wei Xiu, but also seemed not to be looking at her: "If I enter the palace with you today, will I be able to see him for the last time?"
Wei Xiu's heart tightened, and she couldn't say any words of comfort.
There is already a result at that end, and it is indeed the handwriting of the late emperor.King Jin and the others had nothing to say.He looked around, all the faces were familiar.He suddenly felt that this was like a play, a play that had been rehearsed a long time ago, some people acted as actors, and some were the people who arranged the play.
And he just paved the way for others!
People along the street tightened their necklines to prevent the cold wind from blowing in.On weekdays, the busiest street has only a few scattered people, and it looks a bit deserted.
Everyone went home to avoid the snow. Looking at the weather, I'm afraid there will be heavy snow soon.
