A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 397 Give it a go and seize the opportunity
After the emperor vomited blood this time, he sat slumped on the dragon chair, unable to move.

Yun Zhan took the lead and rushed forward, calling for someone to force him out of the hall, and immediately escorted him back to the harem.

It was inconvenient for the courtiers to follow, but Yun Heng followed along. On the way, Yun Zhan urgently sent someone to the imperial hospital to call for the imperial doctor.

After sending the emperor back to Fengming Palace, the two brothers Yun Zhan and Yun Heng were blocked outside the bedroom as soon as the imperial physician arrived.

When the concubines of the various palaces heard the news, they couldn't help but rushed over one after another, calling it "Please An to visit the sick", but in fact...

Most of them were worried about the emperor's physical condition and came to inquire about the news.

Imperial Physician He stayed inside for nearly an hour, and when he came out, he prescribed a prescription and rushed to decoct the medicine, but Empress Gu asked Aunt Jiao to come out and call everyone in.

The emperor was lying on the bed leaning on a few pillows, although he still had a sick face, but his spirit finally recovered. Facing everyone's greetings with their own thoughts, he forced himself to say: "I'm fine, but I've been a little mental lately. It’s not good, you need to raise more. There is a prince in the previous dynasty, and a queen in the harem, so put your heart in your stomach and do what you should do.”

He looked at the prince: "After noon, you will come back with the right minister and the six ministers. I will tell them that from tomorrow onwards, you will temporarily manage the government on my behalf."

It goes without saying that this is the meaning and intention of delegating power and trusting Gu.

Yun Heng was fine, but the concubines in the harem panicked to varying degrees.

It's just that in front of the emperor and the empress, no one dared to make a fuss. They just exchanged glances and looked at each other in private.

Yun Zhan looked at the emperor, but hesitated for a while in silence before accepting the order: "Yes, I know."

The emperor closed his eyes, seeming to put more strength on purpose, then sighed and laughed at himself: "When you are old, you have to obey the old. It is incomparable with when you were young. Looking at the future, you will not be able to Try again."

Empress Gu sat next to his bed, and said softly: "The so-called sickness is like a thread, your Majesty is indeed a little anxious, and you should rest for a while before going to the court to govern."

Yun Heng remained silent.

In fact, he knew very well why the emperor insisted on going to court today. After the New Year's Eve, the envoys from various countries and neighboring countries who came to Beijing to celebrate the New Year were still unable to go. He vomited blood and left after the state banquet. It was inevitable that people would suspect him. Regarding his physical condition, he had to go to court today, and his public appearance was to show that his health was fine, so as not to make those neighbors with ulterior motives feel restless.

These days, Yun Heng has been watching the emperor's prescription, and for the sake of caution, he even asked his eyeliner hidden in the palace to check the dregs of the emperor's decoction...

Imperial Physician He has a very strict tone, and has always said to the outside world that the emperor is fine, but that he is angry and weak, and needs to rest, but judging from the medicine he prescribed and the dregs of the daily decoction in Fengming Palace, it is completely serious. Not so.

In the matter of seizing the heir, there is no turning back, not to mention that since he has already attacked the emperor, now he can only go one way to the dark.

Therefore, in the past half month, he kept stirring up the flames and leading the public opinion to ferment.

What do ordinary people know?Eighteen years ago, the southern border city was lost, and countless people were displaced, unable to return to their homes. This shadow has shrouded the entire territory of Dacheng. When the people heard that Dacheng's peace request was rejected, they would most likely become angry and wave their troops again. Going north, everyone immediately felt in danger.

The courtiers are relatively knowledgeable, but they are facing a critical moment when the emperor is about to die——

Naturally, no one wants to cause internal and external troubles at this time.

Therefore, he took advantage of these people's fear of war and encouraged them to collectively speak out at the court today, asking the emperor to allow Yun Cheng to marry...

Intensified, and gave the emperor a heavy blow!
The emperor forced himself to go to the early court this time and came back, not only failed to appease the court, but now it was tantamount to self-defeating, making the whole court even more anxious.

The emperor and empress are now singing and saying these things in harmony, but they are just trying to cover up and tell him and the concubines.

At this time, the emperor had already begun to be wary of him, and he didn't even give a symbolic order to ask him to help the prince more, which is more illustrative of the problem——

The emperor was afraid that once he said this, he would use chicken feathers as an arrow in the future to harm the prince.

All in all, all in all, there are signs that the emperor is already paving the last section of the road for the crown prince.

After saying these two sentences, the emperor was already out of spirits.

Empress Gu dismissed everyone on her behalf.

After leaving Fengming Palace, Yun Heng took the initiative to speak, and asked Yun Zhan in a deep voice: "Zhaoyang said that she was going to guard the southern border, did she say that out of anger? That girl has a big temper and is favored by her father." It's too arrogant, you'd better appease her quickly, otherwise...she might really run to Yanling Pass."

Yun Zhan paused, and looked at him in the same way: "Brother Huang thinks she is speaking in anger? I don't think so."

Yun Heng curled his lips again without changing his face: "Although she has been in the army for several years, there is still a world of difference between daily bandit suppression and real marching and fighting. Father is used to her, so you can't do that too." Let her get used to it, otherwise... if something really goes wrong at Yanling Pass, none of us can afford it."

The implication is, don't ask Yun Cheng to interfere.

Yun Zhan lowered his head and raised his head again, looking as if he was seriously thinking about his words: "The main reason is that in the current situation, Dacheng is obviously exerting pressure, and it is impossible to really send her to make a kiss, and the words have already been mentioned in public. For the sake of it, if you don’t ask her to go, you won’t be able to explain to the courtiers and the common people.”

He has a deep relationship with Yuncheng brother and sister, and will only protect Yuncheng even more than the emperor.

Facing such enormous pressure, now it is clear that as long as Yun Cheng is married, the crisis will be resolved naturally, but the two of them are willing to bear the huge pressure and even put themselves on the cusp of the storm in order to protect that girl. upload.

Are they going to talk about family affection?This is exactly what Yun Heng wanted to take advantage of, and this was exactly what he wanted!
At this point, the words are already not speculative.

Yun Zhan said: "I have to go to the front court to have a look. I left in a hurry before, and I don't know if the courtiers have dispersed."

After saying that, he lifted his foot and left first.

Yun Heng stared at his back, the expression in his eyes was unpredictable, and when he was far away, he also took another road, and went directly out of the palace and back to the mansion.

He can't let Yun Cheng leave Beijing!

The current garrisons in the northern and southern borders are all under the imperial power. Only the military power in the northwest is in the hands of the grandparents of the Gu family in the Duke of Pingguo. This is really equivalent to falling into the hands of the prince.

Yun Cheng and Yun Zhan are of one mind, once this girl is sent to the southern border to take charge of the army...

Then with the addition of the Gu family in the northwest, even if Yun Zhan does not ascend the throne, about [-]% of the entire imperial court's military strength is completely in his hands, and he will be invincible!

Yun Heng was suddenly a little uncertain, whether what happened in the court room today was just Yun Cheng's willful behavior, or was the double reed song she sang together with the prince brother and sister just to find a reason to control the military power in the southern border?
But if Yun Cheng really wanted to go south to Yanling Pass, with his current status and standpoint, he could not stop it at all.

So--

We had no choice but to speed up the plan and end all this before Yun Cheng really went south to take charge of the army!
Yun Heng hurried back to the mansion, told his confidants, and at the same time called Ye Xunyi to the study, and said bluntly: "Father vomited blood for the second time in the court today, and his physical condition is getting worse, but he Still grabbing the last chance to pave the way for the prince, this king can't wait any longer, we have to put all our eggs in one basket and give it a go."

Ye Xunyi and the others all had serious expressions on their faces.

Ye Xunyi said: "Qin Song, the young master of the Qin family in the southern border, is the only link that is expected to break through, but in the past two years or so, I have contacted him several times, and all the letters I sent have disappeared, and even the revenge of killing my father has been ignored. I can't talk to him... this person is simply not good enough. His Majesty refuses to agree to marry Princess Zhaoyang, and Yanling Pass is still a monolith, how can we win?"

Their plan is to unite with Yu Wencang to create internal and external troubles.

After Yun Heng had an accident last time, most of his wings were cut off, and he had to rely on the frontal game. He had no chance of winning in front of the prince, so he could only take shortcuts and risk his troops——

Killed the emperor, and then used Yuncheng's marriage to cause crisis and turmoil in the southern border. When the grown-ups came in and the people were in dire straits, they dumped the blame on Yun Zhan, who was dedicated to protecting Yuncheng. There was a chance to steal the throne and take his place.

The most important link here is how to help Yu Wencang break through the natural barrier of Yanling Pass and enter.

"There are too many people in the capital, and the situation is difficult to control. We still have to start from Marquis Wu Cheng." Yun Heng had already thought about it carefully on the way back, "Since the dead can't open the gap, let's start with the living." Start."

He first looked at his confidant guard: "You go to Wuchenghou's mansion in disguise, and trick Mrs. Qin out in the name of Qin Ying, and say that Qin Ying is sick, and you want to pick her up to stay with her for a while. Afterwards, we will do the same and go to Qin Ying's husband's house to get Qin Ying out. Qin Shuo should be in the office of the Ministry of War during the day, so it is not good to openly break in and kidnap someone, and ask him to wait outside the Ministry of War to wait for an opportunity."

After a pause, he added: "Remember to send him a leave post to the Ministry of War afterwards, and make sure that all aspects of the news are covered by me, and you must never startle the snake."

The guard didn't say much, and went to do the errand according to the order.

Ye Xunyi also understood——

Yun Heng wanted to use Qin Song's family to threaten him into submitting.

"Now it's up to Wu Chenghou to choose between loyalty to the emperor, patriotism and family affection!" She pondered.

Based on what she knew about Qin Song in her previous life, Qin Song should choose his own family members. After all, after Yun Heng came to the throne in her previous life, this little Marquis of Qin would not have any psychological barriers to serve him loyally.

This person has a bit of evil spirit in him, he doesn't seem to have any loyalty and courage, on the contrary, he might hate the emperor because of the old Hou Ye's obsession back then.

As she was thinking, Yun Heng had already looked away from the door, looked at her, and said solemnly: "To be safe, I have to tie up another person!"

Ye Xunyi understood, and a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes at the same time: "You mean Qi Huan from Changning Hou Mansion?"

Yun Heng said: "That girl is cunning, but she is not so easy to deceive, and she has a few guards assigned to her by Gu Zhan from the Pingguo Mansion, all of whom are not bad at skills, and want to kidnap her without anyone noticing." It's not easy leaving her."

Not only is it not easy to lure Qi Huan out alone, but also how to keep the people in the Marquis of Changning's mansion safe after she has been kidnapped, so that they don't notice and report to the authorities...

These are very difficult questions.

Regarding Qi Huan's question, Ye Xunyi didn't care whether it was difficult or not.

It was all thanks to Qi Huan that she ended up like this, and she already hated Qi Huan deeply in her heart.

What's more, her future is bleak now. Whether it is Yun Heng who really succeeds in ascending to the throne of God, or she runs to seek refuge in Yu Wencang, the chances of turning around are not great, so she has been under house arrest in Rui Wang's Mansion for the past two years. want to -

Even if she was going to die, she would at least have to drag Qi Huan to her back!
Now that Yun Heng handed over the opportunity to her, she wished for it.

After thinking quickly in her mind, she calmly showed a smile that was sure to win: "I really have a way to try."

Yun Heng frowned, and gave him a questioning look.

But Ye Xunyi put it off: "There's no rush. If you need someone, you have to wait until your Highness and your people bring the Second Young Master Qin back first."

Yun Heng didn't have the time to guess her thoughts, since she was playing tricks, he just let her go.

But waiting left and right, I thought that things were going very badly, so the person sent to Wuchenghou's mansion quickly returned: "Your Highness, the person under the posing as Miss Qin's husband's Shao's mansion went to Wuchenghou's mansion, the concierge Some people said that Mrs. Qin took Miss Qin out of the city to worship Buddha in the temple on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year. According to what it means... it must be to seek an heir for Miss Qin, and she said she would stay longer. I don't know which temple they went to, so I may have to ask the second son of Qin, who personally escorted me there."

In this case, Yun Heng not only has to rush for time, but also is even more afraid of scaring the snake.

There are at least seven or eight temples, large and small, in the suburbs of the capital, only counting the mother and daughter of the Qin family who might go there. If you inquire about them one by one, it will not only be time-consuming, but it will also be difficult to ensure that the news will not be leaked or cause suspicion.

The situation was urgent, Yun Heng swept all the things on the desk to the ground in a fit of anger.

Ye Xunyi sneered in his heart, but his face remained calm: "It doesn't matter, it's enough for the Qin family to hold Qin Shuo alone, and their brotherhood is extraordinary. Plus that Qi Huan... I If you don't believe Qin Song, he won't compromise!"

When things got to this point, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go all the way to the dark.

Yun Heng acquiesced, and gave the guard another wink.

The guards took the order and rushed to the Yamen of the Ministry of War to stay.

Fortunately-

This time he lived up to expectations and successfully tied Qin Shuo back.

Only half an hour later, Qin Shuo went to Changning Hou Mansion alone and knocked on the gate of the Hou Mansion.

At that time, Qi Huan had just had dinner and was on his way back to Chunyuzhai from Anxuetang when Mama Wu, the concierge, came up and said, "Miss, the second son of Marquis Wucheng's residence said that he has something urgent to see you immediately."

Qi Huan's first reaction was that something happened to Madam Qin and Qin Ying?
She couldn't help shivering, and she immediately turned around: "Is he in the front yard? Take me there to see him."

The concierge has already invited Qin Shuo to Yanyu Pavilion for tea.

Qin Shuo's face was as heavy as water, and he paced back and forth in the flower hall anxiously, without taking a sip of tea.

Before Qi Huan entered the courtyard, she sent Madam Wu to go down first, and asked Xingluo to guard the courtyard door, and she quickly walked into the hall by herself: "Why are you here to look for me at this time? Could it be Mrs. Qin and Qin Ying..."

It's fine if she doesn't mention this, but Qin Shuo's expression becomes even more ugly when he mentions this.

He almost gritted his teeth and said in a muffled voice: "It's also thanks to you. If you hadn't helped arrange in advance to get my mother and sister out of the way, something might have happened to them today."

Qi Huan's heart suddenly rang alarm bells, realizing that something happened: "What?"

Qin Shuo said: "When I came out of the yamen in the evening, I was tied up by the people from Prince Rui's Mansion. That... that Ye Xunyi, what kind of tricks are you playing for me? Tell me about Yun Miao... that you joined the Gao family He fooled me, and then asked me to come over and say that Yun Miao committed suicide because of this matter, and asked me to take you out alone. I think they might be targeting my elder brother or Gu Zhan... So they used their tricks and came over to talk to you What should we do now? People from Prince Rui's Mansion were waiting in ambush in a dark alley two streets away. About a dozen people came, and they must be not weak, but they were very cautious. Come forward in person, even if we bring people to kill them all and capture them all alive, and bring them to the imperial court to sue... At present, they have only tied me up, and even if they sue, it seems that they will not be able to hurt their bones."

Ye Xunyi's "resurrecting from the dead" was such an unimaginable thing, he could no longer care about being shocked, but this woman repeatedly broke the lower limit, and now it really made him hate himself for being blind back then, and his guts are green with regret.

Obviously she joined Yunzheng and almost ruined Gao Yunmiao. She thought the Gao family didn't dare to tell her about this kind of thing, but she shamelessly used it as a bait, telling him that Gao Yunmiao had been defiled by Yunzheng long ago. , Losing his innocence, in order to induce him to hate the Gao family and Qi Huan, and then use him to lure Qi Huan, so that they can be tied up to deal with his brother and Gu Zhan?

Such a vicious and unscrupulous thing was only thought of by Ye Xunyi!
The reason why Qin Shuo came here was to inform Qi Huan. Not to mention that he believed in Gao Yunmiao more than Ye Xunyi, he had to keep Mrs. Qin in hiding just based on Qi Huan's reminder. , It is impossible to avenge kindness.

not to mention--

He had a strong premonition that Ye Xunyi and Yun Heng must be aiming at his brother if they wanted to capture Qi Huan!

If he cheats on anyone, he can't cheat on his brother!

Qin Shuo was very anxious, but he was really stretched for a while, and he couldn't think of a solution at all.

But there is one thing-

Qi Huan absolutely cannot go out with him!

However, unexpectedly, after listening to him calmly, Qi Huan suddenly asked, "Are you afraid?"

"Ah?" Qin Shuo didn't understand why, and was completely stunned.

Qi Huan said: "Since it's a plan, let's go with him. You and Qin Xiaohou have not seen each other for two or three years, so we just meet!"

She couldn't bear to let the child not be tied to the wolf, she knew what the empress wanted to do, and only by adding fuel to the flames now, could she achieve her goal as soon as possible and bring the matter to an early and complete conclusion.

only……

Letting her fall into Ye Xunyi's hands is really not a good thing!

There was a strange light in Qi Huan's eyes, and he stared at Qin Shuo in front of him.

Qin Shuo was dumbfounded, and after a long time he said in disbelief, "Are you crazy?"

Qi Huan said: "I'm not crazy, instead of watching others plot against your brother, it's better for us to do it ourselves, what do you think?"

If Yun Heng wants to plot against Qin Song in other ways, he will never show mercy, and if he wants to use them...

It was related to Qin Song's safety, Qin Shuo stared at Qi Huan in front of him for a long time, but suddenly began to distrust her: "You don't have any ulterior motives to trick my brother, do you?"

After all, the person Qi Huan likes is not his elder brother, and even rejected Qin Song several times, with that cruel determination, people are quite worried about her.

Qi Huan saw that he started to stare at her like a thief, but couldn't help laughing: "Don't we want to go together? If you find me doing something wrong on the way, just stab me to death."

Qin Shuo: ...

However, Qi Huan had already made up his mind decisively——

Qin Song's move is indeed crucial, and it's better for her to make the move, everything is under control, than to let Yun Heng and the others play as they please.

She took a deep breath and patted Qin Shuo's shoulder seriously: "Sit down and have a cup of tea. I'll go back to my room and change my clothes. By the way, I'll make some arrangements at home. I'll be here soon."
