Chapter 532: Mountain Collapse
The edict is not long, and the beginning briefly describes the great achievements of Guo Wei and Chai Rong, and then turns to the main topic, the most important meaning of which is: the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, if there is such a case, the crown prince will be the emperor in front of the coffin.
At this moment, suddenly a woman in a snowcoat broke in from behind the palace and shouted: "Brother Huang, Brother Huang ......"
Chai Rong barely cheered up, looked at the person who came, showed reluctance on his face, and called softly: "Jade lady, the imperial brother promised you, don't resent me in the future." ”
Chai Yuniang couldn't care about the shyness of her daughter's family, so she quickly rushed to the dragon bed, hugged Chai Rong's arm, and cried loudly.
"Yu Niang, ...... you" Queen Fu saw that Chai Rong was having difficulty panting, and couldn't help but be furious, and scolded Chai Yuniang sharply.
As if she hadn't heard Queen Fu's hint, Chai Yuniang hugged Chai Rong's arm tightly and cried: "I just want the royal brother to be ......."
Chai Rong's face gradually darkened, and he stroked the green silk on Chai Yuniang's bun with great difficulty, panting and saying, "Help your imperial sister-in-law take care of the sixth brother." ”
Although Chai Yuniang is simple, she is actually very smart, seeing that Chai Rong is dying, she hurriedly turned her head and called Li Zhongyi, "Li Wuyi, what are you still doing, hurry up and come over and take care of my imperial brother." ”
Queen Fu stared coldly, and Li Zhongyi, who got up from the back row, clearly revealed in her eyes that she couldn't believe what Li Zhongyi meant.
At this juncture, Li Zhongyi did not hesitate to stand on Chai Yuniang's side, since Chai Yuniang has become his main lady, his wife, this elbow is no matter what. will turn inward.
Li Zhongyi walked quickly to the side of the dragon bed and put his hand on Chai Rong's left wrist. Scared, it's terrible!
Although I was prepared. Li Zhongyi's heart is still pounding, to be precise, Chai Rong's limit has arrived, if he doesn't use acupuncture, he will definitely not live for a quarter of an hour.
The problem is that Li Zhongyi understands in his heart that Chai Rong must still have something to say to Han Tong and Zhao Lao Er and other confidants.
"Fetch the silver needle." Li Zhongyi didn't have time to think about it. Categorically ordered.
However, the large and small chamberlains and palace maids in the hall just didn't hear it, and everyone looked at Queen Fu and waited for her instructions.
Chai Yuniang's sense of trust in Li Zhongyi is definitely unusually strong, she didn't say a word, she raised her leg is a kick, and kicked a waiter standing stupidly next to her to the ground.
"Dog minion. Do you want to kill my royal brother? Chai Yuniang, who was sharp-toothed, opened her mouth and buttoned the waiter on the ground with a big hat that she couldn't wear at all.
Queen Fu heard it very clearly, Chai Yuniang scolded the little waiter, actually. She was referring to Sang and scolding Huai.
"Go get the silver needle." After all, Queen Fu is not an ordinary person, although she is very disgusted with Li Zhongyi, she also knows it. Li Zhongyi's one-handed acupuncture skills can be called unique.
Empress Fu spoke. There was a clever little chamberlain who hurriedly ran to the side hall next door where the imperial doctors were staying. I found the needle box and ran back quickly.
Chai Rong's situation is getting worse and worse, Li Zhongyi can't speak, he directly takes the needle in his hand, and repeatedly, kneades, rubs, and twists in Chai Rong's people and the acupoints behind his ears.
After a short time, Chai Rong woke up leisurely, his eyes were empty for a long time, and his pupils slowly focused.
"Brother Huang, if you have anything else to say, hurry up and order." Chai Yuniang held back the tears in her eyes and stared eagerly at Chai Rong's face.
"There are three edicts in total, one is for the ministers just now, one is for the ministers, and one is for the ministers, and the last one is for the ministers." Chai Rong said his mind in a trembling voice, "Tell the ministers to come in." ”
Fan Zhen received Chai Rong's eyes, hurriedly got up, led the eight phases of the court, left the dormitory, and waited in the side hall.
When Li Zhongyi went out, he saw Zhao Kuangyin, Han Tong, Shi Shouxin and other important generals in the army, lined up in turn, and hurriedly followed the chamberlain up the steps.
Well, if the emperor wants to see the generals, he must have secretly instructed him, Li Zhongyi didn't dare to stop in order to avoid suspicion, and left directly with the shift.
At the moment when Li Zhongyi turned around, Zhao Kuangyin's sparkling eyes went around Li Zhongyi's body completely.
The generals have been in the palace for a long time, and Li Zhongyi doesn't know what kind of last words Chai Rong wants to leave for the generals. However, he knew very well in his heart that the era of great changes in the lord and the country's suspicion and the fluctuating of the courtier's heart was slowly kicking off.
Fan Zhen is indeed a rare prime minister, but unfortunately, this prince likes to seize power too much, and is not good at sharing the cake of power.
Empress Fu had always been a deep palace woman before, and she had no experience in controlling the ministers at all, so was it possible to control the rudder of the entire empire?
After sitting in the side hall, Li Zhongyi squinted his eyes and stared at the tea cup in his hand, but he was thinking in his heart, would Zhao Pu do it in advance?
If, according to the course of history, Zhao Laoer would join forces with Zhao Laosan and the ten brothers of the Yishe to usurp the Chai family after being demoted from the capital.
Now, due to Li Zhongyi's fall from the sky, history has changed dramatically, and the clear prospect has become chaotic.
Suddenly, there was a deafening cry from the emperor's bedroom, and Fan stood up and ran outside quickly.
To be honest, this is the first time that Li Zhongyi has seen Fan Zhen lose his temper.
But also, Chai Rong may be a little sorry for Li Zhongyi and Zhao Laoer, but he absolutely trusts Fan Qian.
The high position of the prime minister in the political hall is the second throne under the absolute one person and above tens of thousands of people, and as soon as Fan Zhen sits on it, it will be more than five years, and the stability of his position is outrageous.
Therefore, Chai Rong's death actually had the greatest impact on Fan Zhen. Li Zhongyi witnessed it with his own eyes, Fan Zhen hid his face and cried, and staggered out of the palace gate.
The earth-shattering cry, the bell and drum tower, one after another, announced to the people of the world a fact: the old master of the empire has ascended to heaven!
Chai Rong has been on the throne for six years, and he has indeed been greatly favored by the people of the world.
For a while, inside and outside the palace, overwhelming cries sounded. It's heartbreaking.
I went up today, and I walked very early. must also be unwilling. However, he still ascended to the sky after all. Unable to take away half of the clouds.
His Majesty left, the bells and drums rang in unison, and the ministers all changed into mourning clothes, hurriedly went out, and knelt in front of the entire palace.
The old master of the empire is gone, and the new son of heaven is about to ascend the throne, according to the wise saying that once the son of heaven and a courtier, it is impossible not to worry about vested interests. and the future ahead.
However, the crown prince is just a few years old, is it possible for him to sit firmly on the thousands of miles of beautiful rivers and mountains left by his father?
Everything is unknown!
Seeing that Empress Fu was crying to death, and did not even give the order to close the city, Fan Zhen couldn't help but feel anxious, hurriedly beckoned a chamberlain, and ordered him to tell Empress Fu that he must immediately send troops to implement the most severe closure order.
When Emperor Taizu Gao died. Fan Zhen has already experienced a similar scene, and he is very familiar with it.
Queen Fu, who was crying in the dark, suddenly woke up after listening to the words of the servant. Her man died, which meant that the entire empire was the pillar. It's completely collapsed.
In case there are careerists who want to take advantage of the current chaos. Fishing in troubled waters, then something big will happen!
Empress Fu wiped away her tears. Immediately called Fan Zhen and the privy envoy Yuan Yan, and instructed: "Quickly pass the military order and transfer the forbidden army to seal the city." ”
Yuan Yan was originally a warlord in Shaanxi, and before Chai Rong died, in order to bind him, he deliberately rewarded him with a high position as a privy envoy in order to control it nearby.
Therefore, for Chai Rong's death, Yuan Yan seemed sad, but in fact, his heart blossomed, he deliberately pretended to be stupid and just nodded, and never said half a word.
It's a pity that Fan Zhen is a veteran of politics, and he immediately suggested: "Niangniang, it seems that we should send the Crane Army and the Tiger Wing Army to maintain law and order in the capital together?" ”
Although Empress Fu does not know the way of government, she is also an absolutely smart person, she was thoroughly understood by Fan Qian, and immediately realized that the control of the capital army must not come from the subordinates of any general.
No wonder Chai Rong used to say that different opinions stir up each other, so that the ministers will conspire with me!
After Fan Qian's suggestion, Empress Fu's thinking was greatly opened and she was more flexible, and immediately ordered: "Come on, go and call the two princes over." ”
Fan Zhen nodded secretly, and Empress Fu's inferences made him extremely satisfied.
After Chai Rong left, in addition to the army to be controlled, it was the sons of the two concubines who posed the greatest threat to the throne that Chai Zongxun was about to take over.
Concubine Qin and Concubine Hui are both peerless beauties dedicated to Chai Rong by the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and coincidentally, the two of them gave birth to a prince after only a month apart.
What is slightly ironic is that with the respect of the noble concubine, Queen Fu, who is in charge of the six palaces, has not moved in her stomach, and under her knees, there is only Chai Zongxun, a fake son.
The current crown prince, Chai Zongxun is extremely well-behaved, and has always called Empress Fu his mother. In fact, aunts and nephews, no matter how close they are by blood, cannot be real mothers and sons.
In the future, after the collapse of Empress Fu, if Chai Zongxun is still in power at that time, it will definitely not appear in the edict.
Inside and outside the palace, there was a cry, and Queen Fu, with the assistance of Fan Zhen, cried for a while, and then went to His Royal Highness to give a few edicts, but it was not wrong.
Li Zhongyi and the rest of the ministers were all very idle, and they could only kneel in front of Chai Rong's coffin in turn, crying loudly, deeply expressing their condolences to the emperor.
Due to their different statuses, Han Tong and Zhao Kuangyin knelt behind the ministers in accordance with the prescribed shifts.
Although Li Zhongyi did not look back, he intuitively felt that Han Tong was indeed crying very sadly, tearing his heart and lungs, crying and grabbing the ground.
Zhao Kuangyin's cry was like a kitten, like a dead mother, sullen, like thunder.
In fact, crying spirit, sincerity is a technical job, Li Zhongyi saw with his own eyes, many palace maids and chamberlains who moved their true feelings fainted from crying.
Li Zhongyi didn't grasp the trick at first, and cried too loudly, but as a result, it didn't take much effort to cry hoarsely!
After all, the status of the prime minister is different, and several ministers who are like Li Zhongyi, crying badly, were hurriedly carried into the side hall by the attendants.
As for Han Tong and Zhao Laoer, who are military ministers, they are not so lucky, they have been kneeling in front of the spirit, crying and crying. (To be continued......)
