Outside the gate of the Qi Palace. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Xuan instinctively glanced around vigilantly before hurriedly turning around and entering.

In the main hall, Xiao Ming was waiting for him with his hands in his hands.

"Your Highness."

Standing still in the main hall, Wang Xuan glanced at Xiao Ming, and suddenly felt that today's Xiao Ming was a little different from the past.

Hearing Wang Xuan's voice, Xiao Ming turned around, he was busy with the bank's publicity yesterday, and he didn't have time to summon Wang Xuan until today, Xiao Wenxuan was seriously ill, which was definitely not a favorable news for him.

Because once Xiao Wenxuan falls, this means that the current balance of the Great Chongqing Kingdom is completely disordered, and the most serious thing may be that the Great Chongqing Kingdom is completely plunged into civil strife.

Although he did not admit that Xiao Wenxuan was a Ming monarch, Xiao Wenxuan became the emperor through military exploits after all, and the crown prince, the straw bag succession, could not suppress the chaos in the country at all.

For troubled times, Ming Jun is still in a difficult situation, let alone a monarch like the crown prince.

In the face of a potentially chaotic situation ahead, he pretends to be indifferent, but in the shadows he must start preparing now so that he can respond to the unfavorable situation in the country in a timely manner.

Therefore, he must continue to strengthen the deployment and control of the Chang'an intelligence network and the infiltration of Chang'an officials.

"Do you know about the emperor's fainting?" Xiao Ming looked at Wang Xuan.

Stunned for a moment, Wang Xuan said: "Your Majesty, the lower officials don't know about this, but they just learned that the emperor's health is slightly ill, and he has not been able to go to court normally for some days." ”

"Well, in this way, the palace is indeed hiding this matter." Xiao Ming's brows furrowed, such a major event was strictly blocked, and only Empress Zhao could do it in the current palace.

Wang Xuan asked puzzledly, "How did His Highness learn that the emperor had fainted?" ”

"It was mentioned in a letter to the princess." Xiao Ming said, and he then asked; "Other than that, there are no other anomalous changes in Chang'an."

"Yes, Xia Guan originally wanted to report this matter to His Royal Highness, after the emperor did not go to court, Yang Zhen, the commander of Lijingmen, once entered and exited the East Palace." Wang Xuan said with a solemn expression.

"Yang Zhen enters and exits the East Palace?" Xiao Ming was taken aback.

This Lijingmen has only obeyed the dispatch of the emperor of the current dynasty in all dynasties, and now that Xiao Wenxuan has not died, this Yang Zhen has entered and exited the East Palace, which is clearly wagging his tail in front of the new master in advance.

And from this point, it can also be seen that Xiao Wenxuan's condition is serious, maybe it is really as Fiji said, even if it is carefully conditioned, it can only be delayed for a few years.

If Empress Zhao and the crown prince secretly delayed treatment, this Xiao Wenxuan would be even more lifeless, after all, the struggle for imperial power has always been cruel, and it is not surprising that there is no means.

Wang Xuan noticed Xiao Ming's expression, and he said: "Your Highness, Yang Zhen is extremely greedy for power, he is clearly voting for a new master, and the lower officials are worried that the queen and the prince will control the government, it is said that many decrees have now been passed out by the eunuch Wang Xi next to the queen's mother, and now the court is also talking, and many ministers asked to see the emperor, but they were all blocked on the grounds that the emperor needed to recuperate. ”

Xiao Ming's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and there was only a few words in Fiji's letter, which made Xiao Ming unable to fully judge the current situation in Chang'an.

And now the news brought by Wang Xuan completely made him vigilant, he has read enough of this history book, and the current situation is like the initial stage of a foreign relative interfering in politics and eunuchs messing with power.

After pondering for a while, he said: "From now on to expand the number of secret guards in Chang'an, this king must get news of Chang'an at any time, and in addition, you have to design a plan to transfer important people from Chang'an, once Chang'an changes, you must be able to ensure that the king's mother, Fei Zhongshu and others are brought back." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Wang Xuan said in a deep voice, the front is very simple, but the back one is difficult.

"In that case, you can go and prepare now." Xiao Ming said.

After a salute, Wang Xuan turned around and left.

After Wang Xuan left, Xiao Ming sent Pang Yukun and Niu Ben to the palace, one of them was in charge of government affairs and the other was in charge of the army.

"If it is really as His Highness said, from now on we should strengthen the training and equipment of the armies of the states in case of contingencies, and the letter of nomination is just a contract, and it is difficult to guarantee that the crown prince will not be unfavorable to His Highness." Niu Ben said loudly.

"Your Royal Highness, what the Metropolitan Governor said is right, the death of King Ning is still in front of you, Your Highness must not be careless, if you ask who the princes are most afraid of now, it is none other than His Royal Highness, if the prince ascends the throne, he will also take His Royal Highness as a big trouble, in the opinion of the lower officials, not only to strengthen the army now, but also to expand the enrollment of students in the School of Government of Bowen College to cope with future changes."

After a pause, Pang Yukun reminded again: "Your Highness, if the crown prince takes back His Royal Highness's title and feudal kingdom after ascending the throne, the lower officials do not want to see the people of the feudal kingdom return to the old days. ”

"The last general doesn't want to see his soldiers shed blood in vain in the past two years." Niu Ben's eyes were wide, Xiao Ming rarely saw Niu Ben's impulsive side.

"What do you mean, this king understands, if there is nothing to do, if it is too much to deceive people, this king will not follow in the footsteps of King Ning." Xiao Ming said slowly.

Pang Yukun nodded, and he continued: "Your Highness, this is just a matter of the future, now we want to let Queen Zhao and the crown prince dare not be unfavorable to the emperor, and the lower officials think that now we should let Lei Ming send cavalry to kill the barbarian scouts outside the Shanhai Pass, and then write to the court barbarians to pick quarrels and provoke trouble outside the Shanhai Pass, and then ask the emperor if he is safe and sound, and take advantage of the situation to euphemistically drag the prince and Queen Zhao to take care of the emperor carefully, so that the two must be afraid in their hearts and dare not mess around." ”

"Yes, that's a good idea." Xiao Ming laughed, this ginger is still old and spicy.

Niu Ben laughed heartily, "The Youzhou Army has been training for so many days, and it is time to go out of the customs to move their muscles, and the last general will go back and let Lei Ming slaughter the barbarian scouts outside the Shanhai Pass." ”

Pang Yukun glanced at Niu Ben, and then he said carefully: "Your Highness, the current Great Yu Kingdom is so erosive, and the chaos should be ruled by the Great Empire, and now that the night is small, only those who can turn the tide can save the Great Yu Kingdom from danger, and the lower officials think that the prince is not the one who can turn the tide." ”

Niu Ben suddenly looked up at Pang Yukun, his eyes rolled, and suddenly there was a hint of realization, he said: "Your Highness, the last general will only listen to Your Highness." ”

Xiao Ming gradually put away his smile when he heard this, what the two said was clear enough, they wanted him to be the emperor, they might not have dared to have this idea before, but since the Qingzhou Army took Shanhaiguan, the officials of the feudal country estimated that they had some little Jiujiu in their hearts, and now that Xiao Wenxuan was seriously ill, they became more and more excited.

And for him, it's not that he doesn't want to be the emperor, he just doesn't want to be the first bird to be the target of the public, after all, he is an alternative that no one likes in the Great Yu Kingdom, and he doesn't want to be beaten by the group.
