Chapter 899: The Prince
From the ninth year of Xianfeng to the twelfth year of Zhongzheng, the years passed like flowing water, Guo Xing'a was no longer the high-spirited young general, and the current general was a middle-aged man who was not confused. Goxinga is very lazy, but the world war has begun, how can he be idle! Day and night meetings, cigarette after cigarette, had already overwhelmed his body. After the Spring Festival dinner in the twelfth year of Zhongzheng, Guo Xing'a had a series of uncomfortable symptoms such as nosebleeds, headaches and dizziness. The medical team led by Wu Xiuming arrived in less than five minutes, but the general had already fallen into a coma and did not even say a word.
The Manchurian Empire was not a dictatorship, but Gohinga was more significant than a dictator, and his sudden coma was a major matter of national survival. Pi Runmin, Tan Shaoguang and others got the news as soon as possible, and then they blocked all news about Goxinga's physical condition, and at the same time declared a state of emergency in the country. Suddenly being in a coma and not waking up for a long time is definitely not an ordinary disease, and it is very likely that Guo Xinga will never wake up again. Once there is a mountain collapse, Pi Runmin, Tan Shaoguang and others must ensure the smooth transition of state power, and there must be no chaos at all. The Manchurian Empire was fighting a world war, and the change of supreme ruler at this time would undoubtedly lead to the crisis of national destruction.
But it's not the right time for Guoxinga to lie down, it is the Spring Festival, not only the whole country is waiting for Guoxinga's New Year's message, but even a large number of envoys from the Qing Dynasty, North Korea, Lanfang, Southern Han, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy, etc., are also waiting to pay New Year's greetings to Guoxinga. No matter what excuse is used, it is difficult to fool the situation in Goxinga. Now that the war is in full swing, even if Guo Xing'a is sick, he will definitely insist on coming out to boost morale, and if he doesn't show up, there must be a big problem, which is something that a fool can think of. Although Pi Runmin brought a few teenage elder brothers out to respond to the scene, speculation about the situation in Guoxing'a was still spread all over the world. Other directions are only speculation and suspicion, but the North Korean side has also moved, North Korean Wangjing has also entered a state of martial law, and Empress Myeongcheng has met with a number of military dignitaries in a row, and she doesn't know what she is nervous about.
"Pi Xiang, Zou Xiang, Doctor Wu invites you two to come over, and I have something important to discuss with you!" Pi Runmin and Zou Degui are busy stabilizing the situation of the court these days, as well as dealing with the disturbances outside, all of them are physically and mentally exhausted, and they have just sent away the envoys to congratulate the New Year.
"Got it!" Pi Runmin's tone was quite displeased, although Wu Xiuming was a big man in the Huaiyang department, his status was still inferior to Pi Runmin after all, and he should have come to visit Pi Runmin if there was something to discuss.
"Who else is going to go over?" Zou Degui smelled a different taste, Wu Xiuming has always been low-key, and he will never lose his thoughtfulness in etiquette, this time it suddenly seems to be a summons for the two of them to pass, there must be something big.
"Speaker Chen (Chen Weinian), General Staff Tan, Sai Lao, Xian Lao, and several generals in Changchun have all passed!" The one who came to deliver the news was a colonel and a military doctor, and he was very detailed.
"Okay, let's go over right away!" Zou Degui was nervous at that time, Wu Xiuming invited all the civil and military dignitaries in Changchun.
"Why don't you call?" After the colonel and the military doctor withdrew, Zou De turned around and asked Pi Runmin a question.
"Afraid of being spied on? This is to protect against your own people! Pi Runmin's cold sweat came down in a swoop, this routine is very much like a very bad thing.
"Let's go!" Pi Runmin jumped up like a burning buttocks, pulled Zou Degui and left.
The two of them have been enemies for a lifetime, and they are also old friends for many years, and their minds are almost the same, and they both think of that terrible thing. The mountain collapsed, the dragon drove to the funeral, and the ministers secretly gathered to assist the young lord to inherit the unification, and cut off the inside and outside to prevent chaos. Wu Xiuming's convening is too much like the posture that Guo Xing'a has died. The two of them rushed to the general's line in a hurry, and they were even more sure that the matter was really big, Wu Xiuming, the convener, was just a false name, but the actual presiding over it was the old Fujin Suotulu clan and the third old lady Hui Teng. Guo Xing'a didn't wake up, but he didn't lose his breath, but what Wu Xiuming wanted to say was more terrifying than Guo Xing'a died.
"The general toiled day and night, and the Eucharist was so weak that he fell ill, but the general's illness was not enough to make the general unconscious. Our infirmary has done a thorough examination of the General's Holy Body, and at the same time tested the General's blood, and now it can be determined that the General's coma is due to poisoning! When everyone arrived, Wu Xiuming announced his latest discovery.
"How is this possible?" The military generals of Wenchen all jumped up, Guoxing's life is completely emperoral, and every drink and food is strictly monitored, how can it be poisoned.
"What's the panic, it's all steady, listen to Xiao Wu!" Sotulu knew it for a long time, and she was no longer what she used to be, so the old lady who was almost eighty was more stable than anyone else.
"It's hard to determine what exactly this toxin is, but it can be inferred from the symptoms that it should slowly enter the general's body. Therefore, we think that the general is not a one-time poisoning, but a passive hand and foot in the diet, and a trace amount of toxins has been mixed into the diet for a long time. At present, the toxin has been basically eliminated, but it has caused serious damage to the general's holy body, and the general's blood pressure has been unstable, and when he can wake up, he can only resign himself to fate. Wu Xiuming finished his findings and inferences.
"Where is the Department of Internal Guard? Why don't you quickly investigate and arrest the traitors, examine them clearly, and find out what kind of poison is in the general's office as soon as possible, so that Doctor Wu can try to save them! Pi Runmin's hands began to tremble, if Guo Xing'a was poisoned, the things behind it would be complicated.
"The Department of Internal Health has already checked, and there is no problem with the diet of the fifth child, and there is no problem with the people who handle it." Soturus's voice was low, and tears glistened in the corners of his eyes.
"This ......" Pi Runmin was a little confused, this matter didn't make sense.
"Lao Wu has not been on a private visit recently, and if he eats something outside once in a while, there will be no such result." The third old lady Hui Teng's voice was lower, he was angry, but he was still trying to control himself.
"In addition to the regular diet, the fifth child will eat and drink other things, he was poisoned by his own family, and his wife and children wanted to harm him!" Sotulu has released the final answer, and they have already had the results of their investigation.
"The family is unlucky!" Whitten's crutches slammed the ground twice.
Everyone thought about it and understood that the main meals that Guo Xing'a ate and drank were all made in the big kitchen of the general's Xingyuan, and they were all fine, but in addition to these, Guo Xing'a would also eat some other things, such as the things made in the kitchens of his wives. There are four women in Guoxinga, which means that there are four small kitchens, and if these four people want to do something, they all have a chance. Of the clans present today, only Suotulu and Huiteng, and several wives and children of Guoxing'a are not there, so it makes sense, they are all suspects now.
"There's no way to check it!" As soon as Guoxing'a gets sick, everything must be dealt with, and the clean may become involved, and the unclean may be completely clean. With the exception of Emperor Heisei's son, who had no children or daughters, everyone else could become the new ruler because of the death of Koko, which was even more difficult to do.
"There is no need to publicize this kind of bad thing, just check it slowly in the future, and bring you all here today to discuss the next big thing. This vicious person harmed the fifth child, he must have wanted to usurp the throne and seize power, in addition to poisoning the fifth child, he must have other arrangements. Whether the fifth child can wake up depends on God's arrangement, God's mercy is naturally everything to say, if the sky is not blessed, we must also have a preparation, and we must not let the thieves take advantage of the chaos. Sotulu held herself up, her heart was tormented like oil, and her last son would not be saved.
"You are all people who have spent his whole life with the fifth child, and the most trusted thing is you, the fifth child did not leave any words this time, and the rest of the things depend on your consideration. Once there is a case, who do you think is the best person to succeed you! Hui Teng threw out the root directly.
The ministers gathered this time, firstly, to affirm that Guoxing'a was poisoned, to raise their vigilance, and secondly, to discuss the issue of the prince. The so-called Holy Son of Heaven does not set up a prince in the court, Guoxing A is only forty years old, and his health has always been good, so no one has studied the question of the prince at all. Now that something has happened suddenly, everyone can only hold on to it temporarily.
Guo Xing'a has a total of five children under his knees, in addition to Da Gege Mingcheng does not need to be considered, there are also four sons: Ming Song, Ming Tong, Ming Nan, and Ming Liu. The eldest brother Ming Song is seventeen this year, and the remaining three elder brothers are all fourteen or fifteen. The eldest brother Mingsong and the fourth elder brother Mingtong were born to Fujin on the Tuya side, the second elder brother Mingnan was born to Fujin on the Mini side, and the third elder brother Mingtong was the son of Tianni Fujin who was looking forward to it. Behind Ming Song and Ming Liu is the Mongolian system, and behind Ming Nan and Ming Tong is the Huaiyang system, and the foreshadowing laid back then is finally about to see the harvest. After the Green Camp Department and the Taiping Department withdrew from the dispute, the Mongolian Department and the Huaiyang Department also had a king showdown.
The things behind this are complicated, after Bi Yuntao's death, the Green Camp Department was almost accepted by the Huaiyang Department, and the Taiping Department is also actively moving closer to the Huaiyang Department, which greatly enhances the strength of the Huaiyang Department. However, the Mongolian system has developed well in recent years, and it has a close intersection with the Gu'an customs and foreign systems and the local system of Manchuria, and has been supported by many chaebols and Shanxi ticket numbers. The interests of the Wenchen Group and the Gu'an lineage will not be affected, so they will naturally watch from the sidelines, and neither side will be offended. As for who Guo Xing'a prefers, it is no longer very important, this is the battle of the mother's family.
Guo Xing'a himself is a lazy person, and he has always advocated a hypocrisy, and all departments of the Manchurian government can operate without him, so everyone doesn't care about how this new monarch can be, it's good to have such a nominal leader. Pi Runmin even had a little expectation, during the time of Guoxing's abdication, the days when he was in power were very cool!
