Invincible son

inner hall.

Emperor Kaiping lay on the dragon bed, looking very weak, but he didn't have difficulty breathing as before.

Although he is not a top martial arts master, after all he worked hard when he was young, and his understanding of his body is not weaker than those imperial doctors.Those gravels stimulated by the explosives hurt his heart and other vital organs. Such injuries are no longer within the scope of the imperial physicians' treatment, so he let Gu Hongmiao practice the secret method of golden needles to prolong his life by drinking poison to quench his thirst.

The hall was very quiet, with only Concubine Wu Guifei serving.

There were clear tears on her face, but she didn't dare to cry anymore, because Gu Hongmiao had repeatedly told her that His Majesty should not bear any stimulation now, otherwise the condition would deteriorate rapidly if the wound was pulled.

Walking to the side of the dragon bed, she carefully helped Emperor Kaiping tuck the bedding, and she tried her best to keep her expression gentle and calm.

Emperor Kaiping turned his head slightly, and signaled with his eyes: "Sit."

Concubine Wu Guifei sat down next to the bed, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor said that you can recover after a period of rest."

Emperor Kaiping smiled with difficulty, and did not expose her white lie, but said calmly: "When the explosion happened, I suddenly thought of a past event."

Concubine Wu Gui knew very well the emperor's tenacity, and there was almost nothing in this world that could shake him, and he asked him to stay because he had an important matter to explain, so she said softly, "I don't know what your Majesty remembered?"

Emperor Kaiping said leisurely: "That was the fourth year of Kaiping. When Pei Yue just went to Lingzhou, he was set up in Qishan Chong by the descendants of the Chen family, and almost died here. It was mentioned in the secret report of Taishitai Pavilion that Pei Yue led the Tibetan front Wei entered the valley, and then the rocks on both sides were blown down by explosives, and dozens of people from the rear were buried."

Concubine Wu Gui is so clever, she instantly thought of a frightening possibility, and her eyes couldn't help but flustered slightly.

When Emperor Kaiping saw this, he comforted him: "Don't worry, I let you stay because there are some things I can only tell you, but I can't tell Liu Xian yet."

Concubine Wu Guifei's last words appeared in her mind, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.

Emperor Kaiping really wanted to raise his hand to wipe it for her, but found that he couldn't raise his arm, and there was a bit of anger in his eyes after all.

Concubine Wu Gui quickly bent down, held Emperor Kaiping's palm and brushed her face.

Emperor Kaiping looked complicated, and said softly: "This situation was decided by Mo Haoli and I a few years ago. The reason why I was able to ascend the throne back then was because Wang Pingzhang sent someone to poison the second emperor brother. In order to stabilize the situation, I couldn't Without relying on his power, let him continue to place people in the army. To this day, I don’t know how many real powerful generals are on his side.”

He paused, then sighed, "For example, Guo Linxi from Xuanhua Camp, Liu Dingyuan from Dingxi Camp, Lan Yu from Yaoshan Camp, and even loyal people like Luo Huanzhang will become rebels."

Concubine Wu Gui listened quietly, and then said with difficulty concealing her anger: "Your Majesty, why did Mo Moyun turn against him?"

Emperor Kaiping's eyes were gloomy, and after a moment of silence, he said: "You can see it too. In fact, it is not difficult to guess. Without the help of Silent Cloud, Wang Pingzhang could not have done this with only the internal support of the imperial army. The reason why he betrayed I think I can't let go of the accidental death of his son back then."

Concubine Wu Gui was slightly taken aback, a very vague figure of a young man appeared in her mind, and then said incredulously, "Couldn't that be an accident?"

Emperor Kaiping looked forward and said with some difficulty: "I didn't know it at first. It was after Shen Wende was killed that Wang Pingzhang just reported it in private. He told me that Silent Cloud is Pei Zhen's right-hand man. Since he has served me, he must Be a lonely minister wholeheartedly. Shen Wende's child has shown extraordinary talents since he was a child. Except for being unable to practice martial arts, he is excellent in other aspects. At that time, Mo Moyun deliberately let him enter the Taishitai Pavilion, so Wang Pingzhang Then he moved to kill."

Concubine Wu Gui was puzzled and said: "Your Majesty just didn't avenge Mo Moyun's son's murder, but shouldn't his real enemy be Wang Pingzhang?"

Emperor Kaiping said: "I just figured it out. Wang Pingzhang put the crime on me in order to seek help from Mo Moyun. But Mo Mo Yun obviously sensed something was wrong, so he killed two birds with one stone. Not only did he hide a lot from me The key information is also used against Wang Pingzhang in the same way."

Concubine Wu Gui clenched her hands sadly. She didn't think that the emperor around her was right, but she had to know that Daliang's growing strength over the past ten years was not due to Emperor Kaiping's hard work and love for the people, who promoted many famous ministers and generals, and would not Because of his own likes and dislikes, he often set off court disputes.Back then, he promoted Shen Moyun to appease the founding prince, but with the relationship between Mo Moyun and Pei Zhen, Wang Pingzhang's actions were normal.

It can only be said that everyone stands in a different position and position, and it is really difficult to tell right from wrong here.

Emperor Kaiping continued: "Luan Yiwei is divided into two parts, light and dark. The half of the manpower on the bright side is led by Chen An. After this time of assassination, I believe he can dig out the sand mixed in by the Taige and the military, and control it in the future. Liu Xian is escorted by the capital. The half of the manpower behind the scenes was handed over to Mo Haoli at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, even if everyone in the court would rebel against me, Mo Haoli would not."

Concubine Wu Gui was suddenly a little nervous.

Emperor Kaiping looked at her gently, and said indifferently: "After I die, Mo Haoli will sit in the court for Liu Xian for a period of time, and at the same time will gradually hand over the Luan Yiwei to you. I have never touched these things. People, even if the wind and waves are dangerous these days, because this is the last hole card I leave for you and Liu Xian."

Concubine Wu Gui mournfully said: "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Kaiping shook his head and said: "Don't be sad, it's not the time yet. Remember, I have never revealed this card, because it is composed of dead soldiers I have painstakingly cultivated in the past 17 years, and it is useless in terms of strategy itself. In the future, if powerful ministers threaten your mother and child, and Liu Xian cannot use the emperor's mind to check and balance, he can dispatch these dead men to kill him."

Concubine Wu Gui nodded, she suddenly remembered a past event.

Last year, when the rumors about the marriage of Pei Yue in the palace were raging, Liu Xian entered the palace to intercede for Pei Yue. Emperor Kaiping once asked him what would happen if Pei Yue was in great trouble in the future. Liu Xian's answer made her unexpected .

"The son will gather all his strength to kill him directly."

No wonder Emperor Kaiping seemed very pleased at that time.

Concubine Wu asked, "Your Majesty, Mr. Mo's physical condition may not last long. How should the remaining six assistant ministers be treated?"

Emperor Kaiping stared in thought, and said slowly: "After Mo Haoli left, Luo Ting took over as the chief auxiliary minister, and Han Gongduan took over as the right governor of the East Mansion. He promoted Guliang to the left army plane of the West Mansion, and Xiao Jin took over as the right army plane. Within three years Let Gu Liang resign. Li Zi is still in charge of the Imperial Army, as for Pei Yue... I will tell him personally if I have something to say."

Concubine Wu Gui bowed her head in response, seeing the obvious tiredness on his face, she said with concern: "Your Majesty, let's take a rest first."

Emperor Kaiping blinked.

Concubine Wu Guifei got up and left the bedroom, and called the inner eunuch of the palace to serve.

However, Emperor Kaiping could not sleep.

Some people and things appeared in his mind, such as the gunpowder that almost killed Pei Yue when Qishan rushed into it, and Liu Bao, who told himself that Empress Chen was going to commit suicide, all knew Liu Bao.

And the young woman next to Empress Chen who looked very similar to Chen Qingchen.

Presumably it was that Chen Xizhi.

"What part did you play in this?"

Emperor Kaiping muttered to himself silently, as if Pei Yue was right in front of him at the moment.
