Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 898 Storm Vortex
The four people were taken aback when they heard this, why, we were woken up from the hot quilt in the middle of the night, just for this matter?
Guan Xuqing seemed to have seen through their thoughts: "Don't worry, don't think wildly. The first thing to do is to change the imperial guards. This matter must be done quickly and not delayed. Guo Tong should not be sent to Guangxi, nor should he be appointed What kind of military counselor? Send him back to the capital tomorrow, and he will be an adjutant under Zhao Bingjun. Well, the minister who leads the bodyguard is originally your cabinet minister, and now the fourth and sixth princes are also appointed as ministers to lead the bodyguard. It will be managed by Liang Qichao. Tell me, is this okay?"

After Guan Xuqing finished speaking, he closed his eyes weakly, as if he was resting his mind, and seemed to be in deep thought.After hearing what the emperor said, the most excited of the five people here is the fourth prince.According to the traditional system, there are three ways for the emperor to pass on the throne. The first is to establish a direct descendant, which is the son born to the empress of Lizheng Palace.If there is no heir, the elder will be established, and if the queen has no sons, the eldest will be established.If the eldest brother can't do it, then it's easy to handle. Whoever is virtuous establishes who, this is called "no long standing virtuous". In the end, no one knew whether the emperor would set him up. He saw that Jiangshan Jinxiu had no destiny for him. Could he not be in a hurry, but what can he do?It's all right today, the emperor summoned him in the middle of the night, and made him an old "minister of the bodyguard", and he was "leading" him. He immediately thought that something serious happened to the emperor.At the critical moment when a major change happened beside the royal father, the father did not need the eldest brother nor the most vocal second brother Pu De, nor the eighth brother who was usually loved and used by the father, but only called him to entrust him with important tasks. It is obvious that the boss and the second child are no longer good, and the father may want to choose a talented person.Since the boss and the second child are dead, who else can inherit the country, except my fourth child?Thinking of this, let's not mention the beauty in his heart.He almost didn't laugh out loud.After listening to his father's words, he suppressed the excitement and joy in his heart, and promised: "My son obeys the order."

The old sixth Puyun and the fourth brother think differently. It is certain that something happened to Yanbo Zhishuangzhai tonight. Anyone who is not a fool can see it.But the emperor didn't say anything, he didn't want to ask, and he didn't dare to ask.He is a man with a deep city mansion, he is proficient in the technique of keeping a low profile, he hides everything without revealing it, and he has the style of Yongzheng back then.If the boss and the second child are not good enough, the fourth brother is a secretive person, but he also has a weakness, that is, he likes to use his cleverness, which cannot be hidden in front of his discerning father.In this case, shouldn't the throne be passed on to my sixth son?But he never revealed this idea, he just handled some of the errands assigned by his father in a regular and down-to-earth manner, so as to win his favor and wait for the opportunity.He is close to the fourth brother, and the fourth brother Wei's attitude is actually for the emperor to prove that he has no ambitions.Sure enough, when something happened to the emperor tonight, he was summoned, and he was also named "Minister of the Guards", which is already a step forward.Now is an extraordinary period, everything has to be cautious, one wrong step, and everything will be lost.Therefore, as soon as Puxian's words fell, he took up the quarrel: "Father, the autumn is high and the wind is cool, the frost is heavy and the fog is thick, and the dragon body must be taken care of. If the father is restless and cannot sleep peacefully, my son How about reading a few Tang poems to the emperor? Maybe, the emperor can really fall asleep once the mood is evacuated. There are still a few hours before dawn."

Before he finished speaking, Guan Xuqing suddenly sat up from the kang, without a trace of tiredness on his face, and his eyes glowed brightly: "Lao Liu, your filial piety is commendable, and reading Tang poems is not bad, but this It's not the time, nor the place. Sleep, hey, not only I can't sleep, you guys don't want to sleep tonight, let's do some important things for me."

The five people were stunned by the emperor's words.With a plop, they all knelt in front of the imperial couch, waiting quietly for the emperor's order.

Liang Qichao's heart sank, well, it seems that the "play" has been sung, and the "main show" is about to begin!The emperor ordered in the middle of the night to summon the cabinet ministers and the two princes to discuss important matters. Of course they couldn't sleep.

In fact, in this summer resort, there are many people who cannot sleep tonight.Some people just want to sleep but dare not sleep.who is it?It was Xiao Fuzi and Lan Chang.Just now Xiao Fuzi and Lan Chang were two people, and they were in high spirits, when they suddenly heard the emperor's drink out of the window, and then heard the palace maid's scream before she died, the souls of both of them flew to the sky.The two looked at each other, their faces were ashen, but they didn't know what to do.Don't look at Xiao Fuzi who is usually as bold as the sky, but at this moment, he has no idea at all.Lan Changzai seemed calmer than Xiaofuzi.She calmed down her flustered emotions, got up and walked into the room, took out a small bottle, lifted the lid, poured out a few bright red pills, thought about it, put it in again, and looked at the disfigured little Fuzi Said: "Fuzi, have you seen it? This is Hedinghong. I just need to swallow a pill, and I will be relieved immediately. This medicine was prepared after the first time we had that day. I know, why don't you?" This kind of thing, sooner or later, there is no secret. I didn’t expect it to be so soon. It’s too late to say anything now. I’m dead and worthless. But once I die, can you live? So, I can’t Death, I want to bear the charge of this 'eunuch' so that you can be exonerated. If you can keep the green hills and never grow old, there will always be a day in the future."

Lan Changzai spoke very emotionally and desolately, and Xiao Fuzi couldn't help being excited: "Lan Changzai, alas! I saw that the eunuch was getting more and more hopeless, so I went all out for fun. No I thought, I got you in trouble. Well, let’s just die together today.” Saying this, he took a step forward and was about to snatch the small medicine bottle.Lan Changzai was quick-witted, and hurriedly hid the bottle behind his back: "Fuzi, why are you doing this? I've already thought about it. Suicide by taking poison and hacking to death are both the same. Before the emperor has done anything at this time, hurry up!" Go, find a few caring people, and find a way to protect you, don't delay any longer."

"Well, I didn't understand this matter, your life or death is uncertain, how could I just walk away?"

Lan Changzai was in a hurry: "You, you are really useless. You don't even think about it, can the emperor let it go, maybe he has already sent someone to arrest us by now. You, you want the emperor to boil soup and throw rats, Is it all over?"

Only then did Xiao Fuzi understand, he lifted his legs and walked away, then turned around and warned: "Lan Zhuer, hold on, after passing this hurdle, maybe there is still a bright future." After finishing speaking, he walked quickly to the Outside the courtyard, he got on his horse and galloped away.After running two miles away, when he looked back immediately, he saw that under the light of electric lanterns, a team of imperial guards had already surrounded Lengxiang Pavilion.

To escape means to escape, but who can I turn to for help?Who is willing to act as a guarantor when the emperor is furious? Alas, I have done things too badly all these years, and offended the rest of the palace. When something happened, they gloated and trampled me to death before it was too late. How could they help me? contribute.Eunuch eunuch eunuchs and their positions are too low. At this time, they may find it difficult to see the emperor, and it is even more difficult for them to speak well.It would be great if master Wang Shang was here, but this old guy is smarter than a ghost, can he plead with the emperor for me?Xiao De'an has a good friendship with me, but how can I tell him about this?Besides, he has always been cautious step by step, if he knows that I have done such a thing, will he still help me?But, if you don't look for Xiao De'an, who else should you look for?

The vast autumn night is so black that you can't see your fingers; it is so quiet, as quiet as a ghost land.Like a wandering spirit, Xiao Fuzi wandered in the wilderness outside the pass, and finally came to the lion garden where the fifth prince Pu Jun and the eighth prince Pu Hui lived together.

Neither of them slept.Tomorrow morning, the emperor wants to come here in person to watch the wolf fight. They have to urge the servants to make all preparations.The person at the door came in to announce that Xiao Fuzi had come, and Pu Jun was taken aback: he thought, what is this kid doing here so late?What happened?He looked at Pu Hui and said, "Eighth Brother, Xiao Fuzi has always been with the driver, so it must be no good to come to the Lion Park so late. I won't see him first, you can stand for me and say that I am drunk , fell asleep."

Time was running out, and the two brothers had no time to discuss, when Pu Hui walked out of the inner room quickly, Xiao Fuzi had already arrived at the door of the outer room.The two met face to face, and Xiao Fuzi slapped out of his wits, "Greetings to Baye."

"Come in and talk, you kid has a face like a toad." As he spoke, he let Xiao Fuzi into the room and sat down on the kang.Although one is a majestic prince and the other is an ordinary eunuch in the palace, after all, Xiao Fuzi can be regarded as someone close to the emperor, and his master is the chief eunuch Wang Shang in the palace. Princes have always been more polite to such people of.

Pu Hui watched the servants serve Xiao Fuzi a cup of tea, and asked, "Fuzi, our buddies didn't know you were visiting at this time, Brother Wu drank wine tonight, he was drunk like a puddle of mud, so he can't come to see you , let me talk to you for him." Pu Hui said, looking at the other party's expression with stealthy eyes, and said to himself, um, Fifth Brother is probably not bad at all.Xiao Fuzi's expression flustered, his eyes wandered, something must have happened!Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't say anything, he just asked casually: "Little Fuzi, it's so late, have you come out to walk around, and announced to the prince that you are on leave?"

Xiao Fuzi didn't have time to chat with the Eighth Prince, time was like a precious moment to him now, he thought to himself, everyone said that the Eighth Prince was the shadow of the Fifth Prince, it was really good.Tonight, the Fifth Prince must have become suspicious and refused to see me, so this "Desperate Saburo" was allowed to take the lead.But he couldn't say that directly.When you fall into the water and ask others for help, of course you have to think carefully about your words.So he forced a smile and said: "Hey Ba Ye, I have insomnia tonight, and I can't fall asleep anyway, think about it and talk to Wu Ye and Ba Ye, this, every time I think of the benefits you have done to me, I will I’m so grateful that I don’t even need to mention it.”
