The imperial palace was turned into an iron bucket by Emperor Daheng. Mr. Wang wanted to get in front of the emperor, which was more difficult than going to heaven.

But this time the opportunity is really rare, Mr. Wang is ready to give it a go, if he loses this game, Mr. Wang has prepared decent clothes, and he will die calmly.If he wins, he will live up to these decades of forbearance and dormancy.

After handing over the matter of entering the palace to Prince He, Mr. Wang began to unite some officials in the capital.

The emperor of Daheng loves the people, and the anti-corruption policy alone makes the people rejoice.But for the officials who were opposed, this is a bit unpleasant.

The emperor released the news before anti-corruption, and gave some people time to spit out the embezzled money.Although Gu Yuanbai has given these people the preferential treatment of turning a blind eye, there are always some high-ranking officials who feel extremely uncomfortable.

These discomforts are caused by Mr. Wang prying open their gaps.

Mr. Wang's eyes for seeing people rarely make mistakes.If these people dare to be greedy, then they dare to turn it into their own help.

Lure each other with benefits and force each other with danger.The emperor asked you to pay back the embezzled money secretly, how can you ensure that the emperor will not deal with you in the future?

His Majesty the Emperor is completely different from the late Emperor.He can lurk for three years to bring down the powerful minister Lu Feng, how can you guarantee that he won't spend another three years to bring down you?

In contrast, wouldn't it be better to take advantage of this opportunity to emptied the emperor and put another prince who was easier to deal with with him on the throne?

After some rhetoric, someone will always be tempted by it.Mr. Wang took care of the inside and outside, and at this time, Prince He just got the good news.

They can leave the palace and enter the palace.

Early the next morning, Prince He took Mr. Wang and his friends to the palace.

Prince He looked stern today and didn't say a word.Mr. Wang looked at his complexion, and asked cautiously: "My lord, why is your complexion so ugly, could it be that you are unwell?"

Shaking his head with the Prince, "I'm just worried about the Holy Majesty."

Thinking of his thoughts for the emperor, Mr. Wang's complexion couldn't help but lighten, he sat up straight, and after answering, he didn't ask any more questions.

After arriving at the palace, the palace attendant stepped forward to lead the way, and walked all the way to the palace where the Holy Majesty was.

The friend who followed Mr. Wang was a middle-aged man. This man was short in stature, with slender eyes, and his appearance and clothes were ordinary.Daheng's law clearly forbids the technique of witchcraft to dislike victory. Even if it is now suspected that the Holy One is haunted by the technique of witchcraft, no one dares to recruit people into the palace with great fanfare to exorcise evil spirits.

When a group of people walked to the front of the hall, they saw hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in front of the door of the Holy Majesty's bedroom.These officials either looked anxious or depressed. They followed behind the senior officials, just to ask about the current situation of the Holy Majesty, and to see with their own eyes why the Holy Majesty has been in a coma for no reason.

Prince He and the two walked into the palace from the side in front of the officials. Mr. Wang suddenly turned his head and exchanged glances with a few of the officials.

In the bedroom, the incense burns heavily.

There are three steps and one person in the palace, and the guards are fully armed, guarding this place so that not a single mosquito can fly in.The faces of the palace people and the guards were serious, and the atmosphere was so suppressed that during walking, they could not hear other sounds except their own breathing.

Mr. Wang didn't dare to look around, and followed the prince into the inner room in a respectful manner.The chief eunuch in the palace greeted him, and first bowed to the prince: "My lord, are these the two people you brought?"

And the prince's voice was deep, "That's them."

Mr. Wang felt that Prince He's tone was wrong, and he was about to look up at Prince He when another guard came forward to search him.The middle-aged man nervously handed over a roll of long needles in a cloth bag, "My lord, these things will be used later."

The guards inspected the long needles one by one carefully, nodded, "Put it in my hands, if you want to use it, I will give it to you later."

The middle-aged man didn't dare to refute, and said repeatedly: "Yes."

After searching them, Tian Fusheng took them to the inner hall, and the tiredness and anxiety in his voice could not be concealed, "The Holy Majesty has been in a coma for more than half a month, and all the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital have tried everything, but Still helpless."

Mr. Wang listened to his words silently in his heart, and then sighed, "Because of this, ordinary people like me are also worried. I never thought of witchcraft, but if the Holy Majesty remains unconscious for dozens of days, If this is not a witchcraft technique, what else could it be? The villain has the guts to beg the prince, no matter right or wrong, to spread this superficial idea of ​​the villain to the palace."

Tian Fusheng wiped away his tears, and said in a low voice: "Don't say that you think it's wrong, I think it's wrong too. But the rules in the palace are strict, and some things can't be said or done. No matter how anxious we are, we can't go Touch these things."

Mr. Wang deliberately hesitated and said: "That villain..."

Standing beside him with the prince, his face was solemn and his eyes were straight ahead. The general who had been slumped in the mud for a long time finally showed some resolute expression when he was on the battlefield, "I will take care of it."

Mr. Wang was dumbfounded.

Tian Fusheng said: "This is something that the little one agreed with you, the prince. Naturally, the little one will bear it with you."

Mr. Wang said in his heart, it turned out that they made the decision in private, and those ministers must not know it.

This is even better.

Finally, they stepped into the inner hall, and saw a thin man lying on the dragon bed from a distance.Mr. Wang didn't dare to look too much, but the middle-aged man beside him was invited up by Tian Fusheng, to see if the Holy Majesty's appearance was the result of being haunted.

The middle-aged man straightened the hairband on his head and straightened his cuffs before walking cautiously to the edge of the dragon bed.

The surrounding guards stared at him closely, and Mr. Wang also held his breath.The middle-aged man cupped his hands and said, "The villain wants to see the eyes of the Holy One."

Xue Yuan stood aside, with a beard all over his face. He stared at this man, without blinking, and said hoarsely, "Look."

The middle-aged man only thought that he was a high-ranking official, so he didn't dare to procrastinate, so he stretched out his hand and touched His Majesty's eyelids.Between his two fingers was a thin needle that shone with silver light. This needle was aimed directly at the fatal acupuncture point on his head. Once inserted, Emperor Daheng would surely die.

Their great work will be done!

Outside the hall, hundreds of officials confront each other, swords drawn.

Lieutenant Wang Liqing stroked his gray beard and snorted coldly, "Lord Zhao, I say that a country cannot be without a king for a day. The Holy Majesty is unconscious now, so someone should supervise the country on his behalf so that the hearts of all people can be at ease." , is this wrong?!"

The privy envoy Mr. Zhao had no expression on his face, and said coldly: "May I ask who is the person who supervises the country in Mr. Wang's heart?"

All the officials were silent, but they pricked up their ears, not daring to let go of a word.

Wang Taiwei is old and ranks second rank, he shouldn't have made such a head in the first place.But a few days ago, someone came to him and said some specious things to him. At that time, Wang Taiwei mercilessly drove him out of the mansion. After he left, he kept thinking about what this person said.

Wang Taiwei is no longer young. He is afraid of death and fear of losing his life at the end of the year.Back then when the Holy One was anti-corruption, it was precisely because of his "two fears" that he panickedly returned the money he had embezzled for half his life.

The Holy Majesty let him go, and he was glad in his heart.But after being reminded, he realized that he was lucky to be early.

With the temperament of the current emperor, would he really let them go?

Wang Taiwei thought a lot, and even thought of the fact that his second son-in-law was investigated for corruption.His second son-in-law was the former Minister of the Tai Fu. After being demoted, he came to cry with him. At that time, Wang Taiwei scolded him. Thinking about it now, Wang Taiwei only felt a chill rising all over his body. It was the sign that the Holy Majesty was going to deal with him.

"I just recorded those eggs and other items needed in the palace one by one according to the previous account book. Why does the Holy Majesty insist on checking me?" The second son-in-law's argument echoed in his mind over and over again, "Father-in-law, the Holy Majesty will Check me out because of an egg!"

Yes, why do you have to check his son-in-law?Isn't this going to deal with him?

Wang Taiwei trembled all over, and after one night passed, he gritted his teeth and agreed to board Mr. Wang's boat. If he wanted to save his life and his good reputation for the rest of his life, he had to drag Gu Lian down!

In front of the officials, Wang Taifu said bluntly, "The Holy Majesty has no heirs, but he has a brother, who is the eldest son of the first emperor and the prince. Now the Holy Majesty cannot afford to be seriously ill, and if he and the prince are not acting as supervisors of the country, who can supervise the country?" "

Many people secretly nodded in agreement, Master Wang is right, a country cannot live without a king, and now that it is in the limelight, it is the best choice to supervise the country with the prince.

If it is said that the confidant ministers of the Holy Majesty will oversee the country, without the order of the Holy Majesty, their words will not be corrected, and the officials will not accept it.But if it was the eldest son of the first emperor, the only bloodline and prince of the Holy Majesty, then they would have no objection.

Like the prince, he has the same prestige, stronger than many descendants of the clan who rely on the protection of the ancestors, he himself has the strength to supervise the country.

Someone stood up first: "Your Majesty Wang is right, and the officials also feel that at such a time of panic, having Prince He supervise the country is the best way to appease the hearts of the officials and the people."

As soon as the words came out, several people stood up one after another and agreed with the move.

The Privy Envoy and Shen Zhi Zhengshi stood on the other side, showing a faint tendency to split with them.

If it is because of state affairs, then it is a wise move to supervise the country with the prince, after all, the prince is not the kind of person who is too confused to distinguish right from wrong.But how could the privy envoy and other ministers not know Wang Liqing's sinister intentions at this time?

He clearly wanted to take this opportunity to overtake the Holy Majesty!

The faces of the senior ministers were condensed, Wang Taiwei looked at them, and suddenly laughed, hiding his complacency, "I don't know what else the adults want to say?"

"Prince He is banned by the Holy Majesty in the Prince He Mansion at this time," the counselor of the Zhengshi Hall took a step forward, neither humble nor overbearing, "Without the order of the Holy Majesty, Prince He cannot leave the mansion."

"Oh?"

A courtier on the opposite side sneered twice, and pointed to the door of the palace, "Then dare to ask Mr. Shenzhengshi, the one who just entered the door is Prince He?"

Shen Zhizheng did not change his face: "The two should not be confused."

The position of Taiwei had to be withdrawn to the second line because of the important use of the Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall by the Holy One. Most of the real power in Wang Taiwei's hands had been assigned to the Privy Council. At this time, new and old hatred rushed into his mind. The Zhizhengshi and the Privy Envoy sternly said: "I think you have mischievous intentions! The people and we are all anxious, but you only see the benefits in your hands! You are clearly unwilling to supervise the country with the prince. I have lost the power in my hand, Mr. Zhao, am I right or not?"

The Privy Councilor's chest heaved violently, pointing at Wang Taiwei's fingers trembling: "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Am I talking nonsense, you all know it in your own hearts," Wang Taiwei looked at him coldly, "If you don't agree to supervise the country with the prince, then come up with a reason!"

All the officials couldn't help looking at the Privy Envoy and the others.

However, the privy envoy and the others were ashen-faced, but they couldn't say a word.

A young official standing next to Wang Taiwei couldn't hold back his smile, and his brows were stained with joy, "Since you guys have nothing to say, then—"

"What reason do you want?" The emperor's low voice sounded from the palace, "Is the reason why I'm not dead enough?"

The faces of Wang Taiwei and the leading officials around him changed drastically, and they looked towards the palace gate in astonishment.

The emperor was supported by Xue Yuan, and the prince followed behind him, and slowly walked out of the palace gate.

The bright light of the scorching sun slowly rises from the feet of the Holy Majesty's shoes, hits the Majesty's robe, and diffuses over the pale bridge of the Holy Majesty's nose.His Majesty's eyes were dark, and he looked condescendingly at Wang Taiwei, who was standing in the front with a distorted expression. He punched and coughed a few times, and said, "Wang Taiwei, is this one good enough for me?"
