The reborn general girl is the emperor

Chapter 214
Shocked, Meng Shulan couldn't speak. After pondering for a while, she continued, her voice choked up: "Uncle is... seriously ill?"

"Your Highness misunderstood."

When An Ning heard this, she knew that Meng Shulan had lost her mind after seeing the imperial edict, so she quickly explained, "Although the Holy Majesty's body is not as full of energy as a young man, he is still considered healthy and there is no serious problem."

"That's fine."

Meng Shulan felt relieved and took a long breath of relief, but then she couldn't figure it out, "Since my uncle is still in good health, how can I..."

As she said that, Meng Shulan paused, looked out of the window, closed her voice, skipped the words on her lips, and then continued, "Besides, if this thing is to be entrusted, it should be entrusted to my two cousins. How can it be delivered to me?" gone?"

"The Holy Majesty has his own determination in his heart, and this old slave dare not speculate on the holy will."

An Ning lowered her voice, "Since it was handed over to His Highness by His Majesty, His Highness is good to keep it. Don't ask about anything else. In addition, this item was obtained in secret. Before the time comes, the fourth person must not know about it." .”

Meng Shulan raised her eyebrows and asked An Ning in a low voice, "But what happened in Beijing?"

An Ning hesitated for a while, thinking that the emperor had handed over all the imperial edicts to Meng Shulan, which showed that he had a lot of trust in him, telling him something, it would be better if he was prepared in his heart.

Thinking of this, An Ning told Meng Shulan about Wen Zhexian's disappearance until now, and the emperor's suspicion of Guo Youning.

After finishing speaking, An Ning told Meng Shulan again: "In short, the Holy Majesty has high hopes for His Highness, and I hope His Highness will not disappoint His Majesty's great love."

Meng Shulan nodded, resting her fingertips on the shadow box, thinking about what An Ning said, with mixed emotions in her heart.

Uncle finally made up his mind to clean up the court thoroughly.

I don't know what kind of bloody storm it will be this time.

Sending An Ning away, Meng Shulan hesitated again and again, finally opened the hidden box and took out the imperial edict, but there was a letter under it.

Meng Shulan opened the letter, but saw that there was only a short sentence on it: "If the imperial power is overthrown, it can be replaced."

Meng Shulan was shocked, and quickly unfolded the imperial edict, wondering and wondering.

The emperor's edict said that it was the time to ascend the throne, but it did not clearly state who would ascend the throne.

In other words, this enthronement edict is ownerless.

On the contrary, those who have obtained this edict can rely on this edict to enthroned as emperor in a dignified manner!

How can this be so?

Meng Shulan quickly collected the imperial edict, and was puzzled. The words written in the secret letter, which even An Ning didn't know, resurfaced in his mind over and over again, making him restless.

The overthrow of the imperial power...

The imperial power is overthrown!

A light flashed in Meng Shulan's mind, and she suddenly realized.

Imperial power, the Wen family.

When the Wen family overthrew the previous dynasty, their power was actually the weakest compared to the other four.

In order to prevent the five families from ending up as good bow dogs after the founding of the People's Republic of China, they pushed the weakest Wen family to the top, so that if the Wen family wanted to move the other four families, they would be powerless.

The remaining four families held real power and restricted each other. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was indeed because of this that Wu'an recovered rapidly after the war, and even gradually became prosperous.

However, with the death of a generation of the five families who ruled the world, in order to arouse unnecessary suspicion, the younger generations of the five families have less and less communication, and they have their own thoughts.

It's just because of the balance of various forces, no one is sure that they can ensure their invincibility after breaking the balance.

For a hundred years, they lived in peace and harmony.

There are small movements behind the scenes of each family, but at least they maintain a peaceful surface.

Now, because of the downfall of the Yan family and the overthrow of the Li family, has the balance that has been maintained for a hundred years finally come to an end?
Or, in fact, the downfall of the Yan and Li families has already been planned by someone?
The previous emperors of the Wen family, apart from the current emperor, have no brothers or sisters, and no offspring.

Is this, and who has already made it up?

Everything is just for this final opportunity, to replace the Wen family's imperial power, to gather the powers of the five families in one body, and to bring together the powers that have been scattered among the various families into one place?
Five princes, three died young, managed to grow up alive, one was killed in rebellion, and the whereabouts of one was unknown due to an accident. Instead, he became a tyrannical person who slaughtered his brothers in the eyes of everyone.

But if that was the case, the emperor would not have written such a letter.

I'm afraid, I'm afraid, some people are thinking of killing them all.

It is necessary to cut the weeds and roots.

Over the years, even the married princesses have not escaped the fate of being slaughtered to kill their relatives.

If this person, or the family that this person belongs to, has been planning since the founding of the country.

When this rare opportunity is in front of him, Wen Zhehan, the only remaining member of the Wen family, may be in danger.

Perhaps not only Wen Zhehan, but also himself who has half of the Wen family's royal blood in his body, his life and death may be unpredictable.

Meng Shulan stared at the short line on the letter paper with deep eyes, and thousands of thoughts passed through her heart, which was complicated.

On another ten days, Yan Qing preliminarily rectified the affairs left over from the original Qiang Kingdom, and led the army back to Western Xinjiang to rest and reorganize, waiting to go to Beijing to report on his duties.

Meng Shulan told An Ning to announce the decree, saying that the emperor ordered him not to go to Beijing to report on his duties, but to report to northern Xinjiang immediately after returning to Xinjiang, and told Yan Qing.

Yan Qing was puzzled: "Isn't this just an excuse from the courtiers?"

Meng Shulan lowered her eyelashes, and said: "What's left and right are what those officials say. Since it's the Holy Majesty's will, you should do it. It will save you going back to Beijing to listen to those people who stand talking and don't feel pain in their backs gossiping."

On the court hall, the officials who spoke without back pain stood, and at this time they were arguing with the emperor with red ears.

"Your Majesty, this expeditionary army has returned home with great victories. On the one hand, it will show our country's prestige, and on the other hand, it will be convenient for rewarding meritorious service and handing over military affairs. This is an all-time rule, how can it be changed at will?"

The emperor didn't take it seriously: "Rules are dead, but people are alive. Always stick to the dead rules passed down by the ancestors, and do not make adjustments in accordance with current affairs. That is to follow the scriptures, which is not good."

"My lord, changing the ancestral system at will is disrespectful to the ancestors!"

The emperor glanced at the minister who talked about the ancestral system, and said: "I thought that the ancestors had a rough heart, and they were definitely not the ones who would care about such trivial matters. It's Ai Qing, don't judge others by yourself!"

The minister who spoke was blushed by the emperor's insinuation that he was a villain's heart, and was about to refute again, but he heard the emperor say, "Aren't the rules of the ancestors established when they were alive?" ? So, after a hundred years, isn't my rule the same as the ancestral system?"

One sentence from the emperor silenced the officials.

What can I say?

Saying that the emperor can live forever and never die, or admitting that the emperor will die sooner or later?

It is better not to say anything than to offend the emperor.

Talking about the ancestral system is unreasonable, so a minister changed his mind and said: "The ancestral system is all determined by the ministers after discussion. Your Majesty..."
