Sword God Wine Ancestor

Chapter 546 Public
Empress Shangguan couldn't help pondering the words, and said after a long while: "Your Majesty is the king of a country after all, if His Majesty falls, I'm afraid it will have a bad influence?"

Li Chengji pondered for a moment, and said: "Of course, I won't tell the whole story to ordinary people. I just said that His Majesty has been poisoned and needs to rest more, but his health is not serious. The specific situation is only told to the civil and military officials of the court. .”

Empress Shangguan thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed with Li Chengji's proposal. She also knew that the reason why she wanted to inform the civil and military officials of the situation was, of course, that the court should be stabilized first, and these people could also understand the truth of the matter and tell the other party will believe it!The most important thing is that this is for other princes to hear. People in the court are panicking. After all, it is too cruel to say that the eldest prince is killing other princes. It's no different, the first thing to appease now is these princes, otherwise I'm afraid there will be troubles!

As for not explaining clearly to ordinary people, it is not an intentional concealment. Just like what the Empress Shangguan said, Zhao Wuji is the king of a country. It is another matter whether the common people believe it or not!Some people may even have more reasons to believe rumors!So just a little bit of explanation and that should be fine.

Empress Shangguan glanced at the dragon bed behind the screen, and sighed: "Okay, Your Majesty will trouble you here, I will go back and pack my things, I will be living in Your Majesty's bedroom for a few days!"

It's not easy for everyone to say anything about this, after all, although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this is not a political matter!Empress Shangguan has every right to do this!Besides, Zao Wou-ki's poisoning before was due to their negligence. At this time, Empress Shangguan was willing to take care of Zao Wou-ki in person, which can be regarded as taking over the responsibility.Therefore, Liang Xiuxian and Prime Minister Li Chengji readily agreed with Queen Shangguan's words.

Without further ado, there is no need to delay this matter, soon several ministers and princes were recruited into the palace, outside Zao Wou-ki's bedroom, of course, not too many people came, there were only six ministers, And a necessary and important prince.

When these people arrived here, they were all a little at a loss, especially the princes, who all had heavy faces, including the fifth prince Zhao Yan. Of course, he also heard the previous rumors. Of course, he could see that someone was here. Deliberately spreading this news is probably spreading rumors!

But even so, he also knew that something really happened to his father, Emperor Zhao Wuji. Wuji is really dead, and the First Prince might have to clean it up first!Such a good opportunity, he believed that his elder brother would not let it go.

Then entering the palace this time, will it mean inviting you into the urn?He has to have this concern!But in the end he still came, because he knew that his influence in the capital was too small, even if he resisted entering the palace this time, he might not be able to escape, so he might as well enter the palace to have a look!See what happened to your father!
The six ministers seemed much calmer. After all, no matter what happened, their official positions were enough to ensure that the superiors would treat them respectfully and treat them in the gentlest way!
The old man Lu was there, his eyes swept across the heavily guarded bedroom, he saw many guards, and "Xuanwei", he even saw the shadow of the commander of "Xuanwei"!This person has always been a dragon, but he didn't want to appear in public this time!
After a few people had waited for a long time, someone finally came out from the bedroom. The person who came was Liang Xiuxian. Liang Xiuxian said with a smile: "My lords, and Your Royal Highnesses, please come with this old servant."

Grandpa Lu and the others didn't say much, and followed Liang Xiuxian into the bedroom. At this time, the fifth prince, Zhao Yan, also calmed down, knowing that he had made the right bet this time, and entering the palace this time should be fine!After all, there are six ministers who came with him, and if it is really bad for him and other princes, he will never come to Zhao Wuji's bedroom!

After entering the bedroom, the first thing they saw was Empress Shangguan. After being slightly startled, they hurriedly paid respects. Empress Shangguan's complexion was not very good, she waved her hands and said: "Everyone, let's get down!"

Mr. Lu stood up, lowered his head, and glanced around quickly. He saw that besides the Queen Shangguan, there was Prime Minister Li Chengji, and the others were eunuchs and maids who already existed in Zao Wou-ki's bedroom. Not much.

Empress Shangguan said to Li Chengji who was behind him: "Lord Li, you should tell them about your Majesty's situation."

Li Chengji bowed in response, then took two steps forward, slowly telling what happened a few nights ago, how Zhao Wou-ki was poisoned.

After listening to Mr. Lu and the others, their faces changed. They guessed that something must have happened to Zhao Wuji, but they didn't expect it to be so serious!If it doesn't work out, he won't be able to wake up for several months!And may never wake up!This is definitely not a good thing!
The faces of the fifth prince and the princes are also very ugly. For the fifth prince, his current strength is still too weak. If Zhao Wuji really falls at this time, the one who inherits the throne is likely to be the eldest prince!At that time, he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to resist!If you really resist, it may be treason!
Although the fifth prince has been plotting to fight for the throne, he never thought of rebelling!He can't do what the second prince did at all, it's the other way around!So for his second brother, the fifth prince Zhao Yan also admires him very much now!
The scene was silent for a while, and suddenly, the seventh prince Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "There are so many guards around the father, and you are in charge of Liang, how do you protect the father!"

Liang Xiuxian's face was very ugly, and he said with a face of shame: "What His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince taught is that it is useless to be an old slave! The old slave is willing to be punished!"

Everyone else gave the Seventh Prince Zhao Zhen a strange look. Is this the time to hold Liang Xiuxian accountable?They all knew that Liang Xiuxian would never betray Zao Wou-ki, even Zao Wou-ki's trust in Liang Xiuxian was higher than their princes and even queens!

The Seventh Prince Zhao Zhen will not fail to understand this point. If Liang Xiuxian is really punished, Zhao Wuji may not be able to explain it when he wakes up, so whether it is Li Chengji or Queen Shangguan, he will only let Liang Xiuxian lightly. What does Zhen mean by saying this now?
Seeing that Liang Xiuxian took the initiative to plead guilty, the seventh prince Zhao Zhen's face softened a little, and he nodded and said: "I believe that Director Liang will not do such a thing because of his loyalty to the emperor, but since such things have happened, I have no regrets for the people here. The guards are really worried, so I think I will stay in my father's bedroom in the future, if the thief comes again, the other party will have to step over my corpse!"

When the others heard the Seventh Prince's words, they became even more confused. Although you, the Seventh Prince, know martial arts, but with your level of cultivation, if a thief who can break through the guards of the palace comes, you can stop him?Even stepping over your corpse, that's right, you will indeed be a corpse by then!

Just when everyone couldn't figure out the Seventh Prince's intentions, Shangguan Empress, who seemed to have been distracted before, looked slowly at the Seventh Prince and said, "The Seventh Prince's intentions are clear to me, and I also understand your respect and love for His Majesty. But this palace has His Majesty's love, and there is no shortage of it! Now that this palace is sitting here, do you have any worries?"

Hearing what Empress Shangguan said, the eyes of Li Chengji, Liang Xiuxian, and Mr. Lu flashed brightly. They finally understood what the Seventh Prince's intention was.

That's right!The reason why the Seventh Prince wanted to protect Zhao Wuji was not to guard against any thieves, but the First Prince, or other princes who wanted to misbehave against Zhao Wuji!

The Seventh Prince is also a sensible person, knowing that Zhao Wuji must have nothing to do now, otherwise the one who will be in charge is likely to be the First Prince!And the eldest prince is already in the palace, if he wants to harm His Majesty, although it is not easy, it is very possible!

The meaning of Empress Shangguan is also very clear, that is to say, the reason why she is here is also to prevent accidents to Zhao Wou-Ki. After all, among the people here, Empress Shangguan is probably the person who least wants to have accidents to Zhao Wou-Ki. From an emotional point of view, Zao Wou-Ki is Her husband, in terms of interests, her son is still young and still needs Zhao Wuji's protection. If something happens to Zhao Wuji now, the throne has nothing to do with her son, but if he waits for more than ten years, Even longer, then her son will become a strong contender for the throne!
The Seventh Prince nodded slowly and said: "Your Majesty is guarding here, so my subjects are naturally at ease, but the reason why I want to come is just to do my part."

After this piece of thinking, the people present also understood what the Seventh Prince was talking about with Empress Shangguan, and then one by one began to express their loyalty, and they were all willing to come to the bedroom to protect Zhao Wuji.

Seeing this, Empress Shangguan didn't say anything more and sighed: "Forget it, do as you please! I don't want to interfere anymore!"

The matter was clarified, and the princes who were willing to stay also stayed in Zhao Wuji's bedroom. Of course, they did not wait to live in the bedroom, but settled down in the palace room next to them. Some princes in the palace also After moving to a closer place, Mr. Lu and his six ministers hurried out of the palace. They still have tasks. After all, now that they know what happened to Zao Wou-ki, they still need to tell the people of their respective forces about the situation. Those people have lower official positions, but they need to be stabilized.
