I heard that His Royal Highness invited him into the palace, but Wu Youren did not agree immediately, but asked: "Your Highness, which Your Highness is you?" The palace is the residence of the Son of Heaven, and only the Son of Heaven can recruit ministers into the palace. ”

Wu Youren used to be a scholar in the Feng Pavilion, but nothing else, but the rules in the palace were clear and couldn't be clearer, and the guard only said a word, and he was caught by him!

It's just a pity, if it was put in the past, this guard would have to pee his pants in fear, and the most disgusting thing for Empress Dugu is that the eldest princess pretends to communicate with the ministers of the court and the central government in her name, not to mention that the word "His Highness" is used to recruit ministers into the palace, and the eldest princess has to be repaired, but now it is different from the past, Empress Dugu is about to die, and the eldest princess is about to take power, so how can the guards care about this.

With a sneer, the guard said: "Lord Wu, the emperor recruited you into the palace before, but didn't you enter, and you don't know where you went, this is not considered a disobedience, according to the laws of the court, you should be beheaded!" ”

Wu Youren frowned, this is not easy to refute. Previously, the eldest princess did recruit him into the palace, in the name of the Dugu Empress, but at that time, the eldest princess was going to kill him, in addition to him, the loyal supporter of the second prince, he knew that it was the eldest princess's trick, of course he had to dodge, but now that the second princess's family has all been killed, he has no supporters, and the threat to the eldest princess is smaller, if the eldest princess can be magnanimous, then she can also serve the country and the people, and then under the hands of the eldest princess, and then serve the court, to put it bluntly, he is reluctant to take the official position, But if the eldest princess refuses to play any magnanimity, then she will be unkind, and the dagger in her arms is not a vegetarian.

"Look at you, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess doesn't want to see me. Are you still thinking about killing the headquarters, is this what Her Royal Highness the eldest princess meant? In this case, the headquarters can't sit still, so they fled for their lives, justice is in the hearts of the people, I'm afraid that no matter how clever Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is, it will be difficult to hide the mouths of everyone in the world! Wu Youren said, flicked his sleeves, and was about to leave.

The guard was stunned for a moment, and said secretly in his heart: "This damn poor Cuoda. If you dare to take me into an army, let him do it this time! With a smiling face, he grabbed Wu Youren and said: "Wu Shangshu said that he laughed, the little one has no such intention, let alone His Royal Highness's instructions, don't be angry, just let the little one fart just now!" ”

"Don't fart in front of the headquarters in the future. I don't want to be smoked by you anymore! Wu Youren took advantage of the situation to go downhill, straightened his clothes, and said to the officials behind: "Everyone, go to the palace with the headquarters to see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!" ”

The officials breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. It seems that the eldest princess is going to play magnanimity, so it's best, at least everyone is safe for the time being. However, as soon as the second prince died, everyone had to change the court and switch to the eldest princess, which was really embarrassing. Fortunately, Wu Youren is in the way, let him do the shameless thing, let's all believe him!

Following the guard, Wu Youren and the others all entered the palace, went straight to the harem, and arrived at the bedroom of Empress Dugu, where they met the eldest princess.

When the eldest princess saw Wu Youren coming, she took the initiative to walk to the door of the hall and said with a smile: "Wu Shangshu, why did you come so late?" "The meaning of the words is, take refuge in me, you are late, but I still welcome it, don't you see me smiling at you.

Wu Youren simply bowed to the eldest princess and said, "The minister is late, but it's better than some people not coming!" ”

This answer can be regarded as a dialogue between monarchs and ministers, Wu Youren can be regarded as acknowledging the power that the eldest princess is about to get, and it can even be regarded as him taking refuge in the eldest princess and serving the eldest princess, of course, this does not need to be said too obviously, there is no need for this.

If there is more time to spare, maybe Wu Youren will have to think about it, whether he wants to take refuge in the eldest princess, or Li Zhenglong, and even the eldest prince Li Yan who is hiding, he has to think about it, but now that time is pressing, Wu Youren has no time to think about it, and he has no chance to find someone else.

The eldest princess was happy in her heart, although Wu Youren was not very important to her, but with this official secretary, she would be considered more right, at least if other ministers objected and questioned Empress Dugu's last moves, then there would be ministers who would "fight for reason" for her.

Thinking of this, the eldest princess couldn't help but glance back at the inner hall, there was no crying from inside, her mother Empress Dugu could really insist, the sky was almost dawn, and she hadn't died yet, if she reached her mother's age, she would be able to persist like this, but she refused to go to the west sky, how good it would be!

But at this moment, suddenly another guard ran in from outside the hall, and this time the guard who ran in was not a calm expression, but shouted: "Your Highness, ......" and kept silent, looked at Wu Youren and them, his expression was panicked, it seemed that there was something bad to say in front of so many people.

The eldest princess was about to win people's hearts, but her face sank when she saw this, and said, "Look at how you are flustered, just say what you have to say, there are no outsiders here." ”

Wu Youren thought to himself: "Fortunately, this can be regarded as a kind of expression of trust in me." ”

The guard stiffened his head and said: "Your Highness, the big thing is not good, the king of Linzi is in trouble at the Xuanwu Gate, he originally wanted to go to Yang Ze with the whole army, but he didn't think that Yang Ze would go into the city with soldiers and horses, but he also sent people to guard the city gate they came into, under the bow and arrow, the king of Linzi could not approach, the passage of the city wall was narrow, and the brigade could not be transferred, so he could not snatch back the city gate!" ”

It turned out that before Yang Ze left, he saw that there was movement on the side of Xuanwu Gate, that is, Li Zhenglong arrived at Xuanwu Gate, mobilized troops, and wanted to come along the city wall, but there were many soldiers and generals in Xuanwu Gate, and there were a lot of Lang generals.

It's a pity that the Bohai warriors who stayed at the city gate were all masters of archery, and under the rain of arrows, more than 200 of the 500 soldiers who came over were shot to death! With the loss of almost half of the troops, the leading Lang general fled back to the Xuanwu Gate, and Li Zhenglong was even more shocked, this time it was terrible, they couldn't attack it at all, and they wanted to recapture the city gate. Then he had to take a detour from the city and regain the gate from the city walls, but he didn't want to waste this time, and he didn't want to go there at all.

If it is the Bohai warriors who attack, then the soldiers of the Xuanwu Gate will release arrows, can the Bohai warriors still hide under the city wall and jump the city? This is said in the same way, if the soldiers of Xuanwu Gate are changed, and the Bohai warriors release arrows, can the soldiers of Xuanwu Gate still hide under the city wall? They don't have the courage to jump into the city!

Li Zhenglong saw that things were not good. He didn't send any more troops over, but immediately sent someone to report to the eldest princess, Yang Ze led the troops into the city, what should I do, this matter still has the eldest princess to decide. However, Li Zhenglong also has his own ideas, but he doesn't want the eldest princess to know, he and the eldest princess are both collaborators and rivals.

The eldest princess heard the news. Her face changed drastically, she didn't expect Yang Ze to lead troops into the city, and now the core of the whole thing is to master the palace and then make an edict to pass on the throne. If she hadn't been afraid of Empress Dugu and had to wait for Empress Dugu to really die before daring to come up with the edict of succession, then she would have written it herself. Then when the ministers went to court, she didn't need to be helped by others, and she sat on the throne herself.

But now Empress Dugu just refuses to go to the western sky. If she doesn't want to die if she doesn't say anything, she won't have any tricks, she doesn't dare to help Empress Dugu and help Empress Dugu go to the Western Heaven Elysium, after all, it is her mother, as long as Empress Dugu doesn't take her last breath, it will be today, if she really helps Empress Dugu go to the Western Heaven, it will be a murder and usurpation!

Wu Youren heard the news, and first shouted in his heart, he really didn't expect that Yang Ze would have such a ability, and he could return to Chang'an with the army without the knowledge of the eldest princess and Li Zhenglong, and even hide him, the secretary of the ministry, this kid is really powerful, it seems that the eldest prince Li Yan still has the power to compete.

But now he is on the eldest princess's boat, and he wants to get off the boat as soon as he gets on the boat, this is too unauthentic, and he has to give an idea or something.

Wu Youren said: "Your Highness, Yang Ze led the troops into the city, he will definitely not attack the palace first, but should go to the king of Zhenxi, of course, if he finds the king of Zhenxi, then the next step is to attack the palace!" ”

He suffered his own losses and had no strength to protect the second prince, and as soon as the second prince died, he had no choice but to switch to the eldest princess. So he naturally thought that Yang Ze was going to find the eldest prince Li Yan, and only when Li Yan was safe could Yang Ze wave his army to attack the palace and snatch the throne.

The eldest princess sighed, she was a little flustered just now, but now when she heard Wu Youren speak, she also understood, and said, "Yes, what Wu Shangshu said is extremely true, so what should we do now?" ”

Wu Youren groaned slightly, and said, "Your Highness, are you waiting for the edict to pass on the throne?" The emperor hasn't asked someone to prepare an edict yet? ”

The eldest princess's expression instantly became depressed, and said: "Mother is unconscious now, whether she can wake up or not, is still between the two, how can she still call someone to draft a decree, so this edict ......"

In the past, it was in the palace of Empress Dugu, she didn't dare to say it anyway, at most, she thought about it, even if she mastered the palace, she still didn't dare to say it openly, but now the situation has changed, just say it clearly, anyway, that's what happened, there is no need to hide it.

Wu Youren's face changed, and he thought: "It would be too rebellious to dare to say this!" Alas, the emperor is also too stubborn, obviously it is no longer good, but he refuses to draw up an edict, if she had set the position of the crown prince earlier, there would not have been so many things! ”

Empress Dugu's strange temperament made the Manchu Dynasty civil and military incomprehensible, but the empress is the empress, what can she do with her eccentric temperament, no one can care about her, let alone let her write a testament before her death, isn't that a curse to death, so no one can do anything!

Wu Youren said softly: "Actually, the so-called edict does not necessarily have to be in the emperor...... After that, it will be shown to the courtiers that it is okay for the emperor to abdicate and become the emperor, even if it is only for one day......"

The eldest princess trembled all over, only to feel that the anxiety of many days was swept away, yes, who said that the old emperor must die before the new emperor can ascend the throne? The old emperor wants to watch the new emperor ascend the throne, this kind of thing is not nothing, and there are even many old emperors who will die with peace of mind only when they see the new emperor ascending the throne, rest assured that there is a master in the country, what should the old emperor be when the new emperor ascends the throne, isn't it the emperor!

The eldest princess didn't dare to kill the Dugu Empress, didn't dare to kill the monarch and kill her mother, she could only wait anxiously, but there was no need for the old emperor to die, and she didn't have to be the emperor, even if she was the emperor for a day, the throne would not be vacant, and the eldest princess only needed to make it up, even if she was only the new empress for one day, it was justifiable, as long as she was a day, she could be a lifetime!

The eldest princess was ecstatic, how could she not have thought of this method before! (To be continued......)
