"Tick, tick!"

In the dark night, in the warm pavilion of the main house of Chaoxia Residence, Xu Yan, the chief eunuch, walked back and forth anxiously, and the table clock was turning. The voice, on this mid-spring night, is exceptionally clear.

He was nervous.

Outside the warm pavilion, two little eunuchs waited, motionless. No news has come from the palace yet. The Son of Heaven suddenly fell into a coma, and he did not dare to block the news, but sent someone to report to Empress Yang in the palace and ask the Empress to decide. In that year, the Qin Dynasty Zhongshu ordered Zhao Gao and Prime Minister Li Si to block the death of the first emperor and support Hu Hai to ascend to the throne. He didn't have the courage to do such a thing.

However, it was already midnight (10 p.m.), and the palace gate had long been locked. Empress Yang got the news and couldn't leave the palace.

Xu Yan anxiously stepped out of the warm pavilion, in the bedroom of the main room, the lights were bright, and the four doctors of the Tai Hospital were busy in a hurry. More than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids stood nervously. Qingmei has been detained in the East Wing.

What will happen?

As soon as he thought of this question, Xu Yan's mouth was dry! The message is not closed. It is spreading to the city. If something happens to the Son of Heaven, there will definitely be a palace coup tonight. And he's in the eye of the storm right now. However, he didn't want to die!

…

…

The west city of the capital, in the palace of Prince Shun. The declining palace, even on a spring night, can still feel the breath of decline.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Prince Shun's eldest son called his son Ning Fu to the study. There was no one around the study, and the father and son talked about something private.

The lights are like beans. Illuminated in a spacious, but no longer glamorous study. Treasures have been classic. He took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, stuffed them in Ning Fu's hand, sighed, and said, "Fu'er, this is a thousand taels of silver." Run! ”

Ning Fu was stunned, "Dad..."

Prince Shun's eldest son waved his hand, "Run." You all know the news in Beijing these days. The scandal between you and Princess Yongchang is already a political event. All parties wrestle, just wait for the Son of Heaven to make a statement. Political matters are often unpredictable! Princess Yongchang may be fine, but if you stay in Beijing, I'm afraid your life won't last long. ”

Ning Fu lowered his head and looked at his toes. He didn't want to leave the capital. If he escapes, he will live incognito for the rest of his life. And in the capital, he was a third-class auxiliary general and a member of the royal family. His life has just begun!

Prince Shun's eldest son let out a long sigh.

At this time, there was a sudden noise and noise in the direction of the imperial city. The father and son hurriedly walked out of the study and went to the small building to look into the distance. In the distance, near the Xihua Gate, someone knocked on the imperial city and delivered the news. Prince Shun's eldest son's face changed, "Something is wrong!" ”

The Son of Heaven lived in Xiyuan for a long time, and all the major military affairs were sent to Xiyuan. There is neither the emperor nor the queen mother in the palace, only the queen. So, what is it that will alarm the queen at night? Something happened to the Son of Heaven!

At this moment, many powerful people in Xicheng were shocked. It was as if a stone had been thrown into the river, causing ripples. Later, the news of Xiyuan reached the palaces of the royal family, nobles, civil ministers, and military generals who had news channels in Xiyuan.

…

…

In the Yongshou Palace, Empress Yang was called. It was already around 11 p.m. At this point, Empress Yang has already rested.

"..."

The close-fitting palace maid served Empress Yang to get up.

Empress Yang was 34 years old at the time, a mature beauty with a round and jade pearl, slightly plump, and a pair of tall snow peaks stretched out the pink and white undershirt on her chest in a graceful arc. The skin on the neck is as greasy as jade. Wearing a thin coat of water brocade, he walked back and forth in the dormitory, contemplating.

A eunuch who came in to report the news knelt on the ground: the Son of Heaven suddenly fainted in Xiyuan and had been treated by a doctor. The results are unknown. Eunuch Xu sent someone to report the news and ask the queen mother to take an idea.

"This..."

Empress Yang has no master of the six gods. She figured out a man's mind and competed for favor, although she was powerful, but after all, she was just a woman. The current situation, which affects the whole body, is completely beyond her ability. If you are not careful, you will die.

In the middle of the sound, Empress Yang made the smoothest decision and said, "Please invite the three scholars of the Military Aircraft Department to the West Garden." ”

She had mixed feelings.

The dynasty has been in place for one hundred and fifty years, and the favor of the harem has not been as good as her. Although her husband was killed by the Son of Heaven, at this moment, he was still worried about the safety of the Son of Heaven in the West Garden. People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless? The Son of Heaven is her dependence.

At the same time, in her heart, she was provoked by Yin Yan's words: to put her son on the throne. Now, isn't it an opportunity? But, she didn't know what to do. Don't dare to act rashly.

And if, in exchange for the King of Jin and the King of Chu, she is respected as the queen mother, at this time, in the name of the queen, summoning a person to serve the Son of Heaven in Xiyuan, is it a big deal? She didn't know.

Empress Yang walked into the courtyard and looked at the bright moon in the sky. The moonlight fell, and her beautiful jade face looked uncertain.

Empress Yang's edict was written by the female officials, and after being stamped with the queen's seal, she was soon sent out of the imperial city by the eunuchs and went to Xiyuan.

…

…

"Father..."

Wei Kang sent his father to the front yard, and stopped talking. The eunuch of Xiyuan came to summon him, brought the queen's will, and summoned his father to Xiyuan to meet the Son of Heaven, and his words were unknown. However, the news had already come out: the Son of Heaven took spring medicine, Yuqing Beauty, and fainted in the center of the morning glow.

The Yongzhi Dynasty entered the end of the period, which was something that all the courtiers knew in their hearts. However, I didn't expect this day to come so quickly!

Wei Hong waved his hand, looked calm, sat in the sedan chair, and set off for Xiyuan.

Zhenbai thinks too much. You don't have to think about everything in terms of power. He is a scholar of Wu Yingdian University and has the responsibility to maintain stability in China and abroad. He is already a supreme minister, do you still think about what to do from the dragon? He is destined to be the man who will leave his name in history. At this time, Zaifu should have the bearing and responsibility of Zaifu!

If the Son of Heaven is fine, he will pacify the inside and outside of the court. If something happens to the Son of Heaven, he must ensure a smooth and smooth transfer of power to the imperial court. This is the blessing of the people and the community.

The scholar is a mature bureaucrat, but he has his own bottom line: if you don't keep the rules, you won't lose the righteousness. When you should be greedy, you will be greedy, and when you should be in the same stream with your colleagues, you must be in the same dust as the light. But there is the conscience of the reader.

At about 12 o'clock in the evening, Wei Hong arrived at Xiyuan. The morning glow in the center of the Xiyuan Imperial Garden is brightly lit, and Hua Mo and Song Pu have arrived. Wei Hong made eye contact with the two. Hua Mo was dressed in a scarlet robe and official uniform, and shook his head gently: The situation of the Son of Heaven is still unknown.

The three Zaifu of the Zhou Empire gathered outside the main house of Chaoxia Residence, waiting for the results of the imperial doctors' treatment.

The entire Chaoxia Residence, and even the West Garden, the atmosphere is extremely depressing. Many older eunuchs and palace maids thought of that night in the seventeenth year. At that time, when Jingying entered the palace, the sky was blood-colored. It's scary.

…

…

At about two o'clock in the morning, Wang Jiren and four other imperial doctors exhausted all means, acupuncture, and decoction. finally woke up the unconscious Yongzhi Tianzi.

On the magnificent dragon bed, the son of Yongzhi opened his eyes extremely weakly, saw the chief eunuch Xu Yan in front of him, and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Xu Yan knelt on the ground and cried, old tears were in his eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, you have finally woken up." It's ugly. Seeing that His Majesty was unconscious, the servant sent a message to the palace and asked the queen to ask for instructions. The queen ordered three scholars to enter the West Garden. The three naves were waiting outside. ”

The Son of Yongzhi was very tired, feeling that he had just come out of the endless darkness, and said in a weak voice: "Call the three Aiqing in." ”

The Emperor of Yongzhi ordered Wenhuadian University scholar Huamo, Wuyingdian University scholar Wei Hong, and Dongge University scholar Song Pu to jointly preside over the imperial and political affairs. At this time, it was impossible for the Son of Yongzhi to let Hua Mo take power. Unless it is a courtier like He Shuo who has tested his loyalty. He briefly confessed a few words, and then fell asleep tiredly.

The imperial doctors also reminded not to disturb the Son of Heaven. Hua Mo asked about the condition. Wang Jiren replied on behalf of the imperial doctor. Removing the five elements and other professional TCM terms, to the effect that the Son of Heaven has been taking a certain stimulant drug for a long time, and his body has suffered extremely serious losses, so he is in a coma. It takes months or even half a year to recuperate.

After the three scholars discussed, they agreed to take turns to be on duty in the West Garden. On the 11th, in the early morning, Wei Hong and Song Pu went out of Xiyuan separately and went back to their homes to rest.

…

…

The morning sun shines on the capital. The three scholars jointly wrote a joint letter, each yamen in the court, saying that the Son of Heaven had nothing to do and calmed people's hearts.

The 11th was very sunny. When Wei Hong returned home, his eldest son Wei Kang and grandson Wei Yang were in the hall. After retiring all the servants, Wei Hong talked about the situation in Xiyuan, took a sip of tea, and looked at his son and grandson.

Gongbu Lang Zhongwei Kang pondered for a few seconds and said, "What a false alarm!" The tone was emotional, eager to try.

Wei Hong shook his head amusedly, and said, "Yang'er, you go to Jia's Mansion in the morning and ask Jia Ziyu's opinion." ”

His son has the affinity of Zaisuke, but the political level is not good. The Son of Heaven wakes up with a seemingly false alarm, and a great storm (palace coup) is saved from invisibility. But this is just an illusion. In fact, the onset of the Son of Heaven was precisely the stimulation of the forces of all parties gathered and accumulated in the capital some time ago.

The curtain of the succession and the court struggle has opened!

It's a landmark event! detonated the turbulent dark tide in the entire capital! Moreover, there are endless consequences. Think about it, last night, how many people's ambitions were stirred up? What about next time? Will the parties be slow to react?

There are three parties to the throne: King of Jin, King of Chu, and Prince Yang. He roughly knew Jia Huan's thoughts: to block the King of Chu. Therefore, he asked his grandson Weiyang to communicate with Jia Huan and ask Jia Huan about his reaction to this matter.
