Return after the poison of rebirth

Chapter 324 The World Changes ([-])
After the secret door was closed, Murong Yu sat back in the carriage and said, "Let's go, go back to the palace."

The horse's hooves sounded "da da", but it was driving faster and faster, "Your Highness, there are people following us behind."

Murong Yu lifted the curtain and glanced behind, and met the murderer's fierce gaze, "Father is not dead yet, there are already people who can't sit still."

"Get rid of them!" Murong Yu ordered calmly.

Zhang Kong whipped his whip, and the horse began to run wildly. The people behind chased him all the way, revealing the hidden weapons in their hands.

A row of silver darts was nailed to the back of the carriage.

The silver dart was wrapped with silk thread, and the end of the thread was held in the hands of the man in black.They don't want Murong Yu's life, they only want the 1 taels of gold.

Pulling the silk thread in his hand, the trunk of the carriage was pulled open.

During the turbulence, the sack fell.

Before Murong Yu could turn around, a silver dart flew past his face and pierced Chang Kong's back.

Chang Kong let out a muffled groan, clutching his chest, holding the rein in his hand, and forced the carriage to Antai City.

The carriage following behind stopped, and the driver scooped up the heavy sack into the carriage with a stroke of Monkey Fishing for the Moon, and disappeared into the alley in an instant without being seen again.

Chang Kong looked behind and made sure there were no more pursuers, so he found a safe place to stop, and spit out a mouthful of blood locked in his teeth.

"Sky..." A voice called from behind the bamboo curtain.

Murong Yu watched Chang Kong fall from the horse and couldn't move anymore.

"Your Highness, hurry up, this place is not safe..." He let go of his clutching hand, his fingers were covered with blood, and the silver dart pierced his heart and lungs, protruding from his skin, revealing the silver tip.

"I'll take you back!" Murong Yu bent down, trying to help him up.

Changkong refused, opened his mouth, his teeth were full of blood, and smiled weakly, "Your Highness, you don't need to save me, I can't be saved. You can go now! As long as you are safe, I am relieved. I...I really want to I saw with my own eyes how you ascended the throne..."

After Zhang Kong finished speaking with a smile, he swallowed his breath before closing his mouth completely.

"Sky..." Murong Yu leaned over and hurriedly called his name.

The person who closed his eyes smiled peacefully and contentedly, he could no longer open his eyes, looked at him, and called him, "Your Highness."

In the Prince's Mansion of the Eastern Palace, the sacks were cut open, and the gold nuggets were spread all over the floor.

With hands behind his back, Murong Wu paced back and forth in front of these gold nuggets.

"I knew that old woman was eccentric and left everything to Murong Yu! Obviously I am the prince, and I am the future heir of a country." Murong Wu waved his hands and said excitedly, from his eyes to the expression on his face. It's twisted jealousy.

Fortunately, he had been watching Murong Yu for a long time, otherwise the 1 taels of gold fell into his hands, wouldn't it be to strengthen his power.

As long as he is the crown prince of a country, no one is allowed to compete with him for the throne.

"Come here!" Murong Wu called out, "Take this gold down and hide it!"

"Yes..." Two tall and strong guards picked up the gold piece by piece, put it back into the box, and carried it down.

"Fu'an!" Murong Wu yelled again, and a middle-aged man in charge ran in.

"What are your orders, Your Highness?"

"How's the recruiting going?" Murong Wu turned around and sat down on the stool, with a stern look on his brows and eyes.

"Returning to Your Highness, all parties are watching at the moment. The matter of recruiting troops can only be done quietly! These days, with a lot of money, many capable men and warriors have been recruited, and they are all waiting to do something great with His Highness the Crown Prince. " said the steward flatteringly.

Hearing this, the prince nodded, "That's good, money is not a problem, and now I have another [-] gold. As long as they are willing to follow me, I will never treat them badly. You should hurry up to recruit people and strive to be in your father's place." Before the emperor dies, let me have an army. At that time, as long as those people have different intentions, they will all be killed."

……

The opera in Liu's residence had already been sung, and Liu Shicheng paced back and forth in the room, restless.

It was as if the repertoire of Jindi's rebellion was still playing in his heart, the thumping gongs and drums kept beating, making his blood surge and at the same time fearful.

Liu Yunxi was not in a hurry, sitting in his warm incense pavilion basking in the sun, looking at the koi in the small pond below.

Liu Shicheng came in the afternoon.

"Ma'am, I have a few words to say." Liu Shicheng looked around vigilantly.

Waving his hand, Liu Yunxi said calmly: "You don't need to serve here, you all stand back..."

Liu Shicheng sat down next to Liu Yunxi, and smiled, "I have seriously considered the matter of my mother, I am already old, and I really don't want to be a hero, it's better to live my life in peace."

Liu Yunxi glanced at Liu Shicheng casually, with a cold smile, "Which man doesn't want to be an emperor? Liu Bang is also your age to start an uprising. Age is not a problem, but courage is the key. Father, you are not afraid, are you? Do you really want to?" Live a life of safety and uselessness in this mansion?"

"I'm not afraid," Liu Shicheng said guiltily, and played the bitterness card, "Look, your grandma is also so old. I just want to serve her well and stop her from worrying and worrying. Madam, there are some things that we can't imagine. Yes, only the son of a real dragon can be emperor. We mortals should live in peace and not get involved in those things."

It's okay for Liu Shicheng to be afraid, but he actually wants to persuade her too.

Liu Yunxi sneered, "The real dragon emperor? Father, have you seen dragons? These are just jokes made up by those in power to stabilize the regime. Destiny is only in your own hands. If a reckless man has the courage, what's the use of revolting and becoming emperor?" No? As long as you can succeed this time, father, you are a great hero! Being named the founding general will definitely be a no-brainer. Our Liu family will prosper because of you and become an upstart family in Antai City. At that time, grandma will also be proud of you... ..."

"Entering the house will be full of gold and jade, and leaving will be fragrant cars and BMWs. There are crowds in the front and back, and the left and the right can meet each other. Father, you really don't want to live such a life?" Liu Yunxi persuaded in a persuasive way.

Liu Shicheng's hand couldn't help but tighten and loosen, loosen and tighten, just like his inner struggle.

"Don't be afraid, as long as I'm here, I will arrange everything and never fail." Liu Yunxi reassured him, "Father, as long as you listen to me, after the death of Emperor Yuxuan, you will be the founding hero. "

……

In the palace, Emperor Yuxuan braced himself to review the memorial.

The prefect of the southern part of the Yellow River came up to play. It rained continuously for several days.Now tens of thousands of people on both sides of the Yellow River are displaced, and their bodies are floating on the river, which may cause plague.

Emperor Yuxuan folded the memorial, and coughed several times, "The Yellow River floods every year, and this happens every year. Where did the relief money allocated by me and the money used to build the dam go?"

Seeing this, Chang Shi persuaded: "Your Majesty, please slow down and ask someone to investigate. Don't be angry and ruin your body."

"When the Empress Dowager was alive, the weather was smooth, the people were healthy, and even the Yellow River flooded less frequently. When it was my turn, it seemed that God did not help me. I am really not a wise king." Emperor Yuxuan sighed deeply. , Pale and weak in his sallow complexion, "Have someone mobilize some more silver taels from the treasury and send it to the prefects of the capitals on both sides of the Yellow River. When will the days of such a busy day come to an end? I really feel powerless and exhausted."

"Your majesty, please be at ease. It is the rainy season right now, and it is common for the Yellow River to be rainy. If you feel tired, take a rest, drink some tonic, and go to the imperial garden to relax." Chang Shi persuaded.

"My body is getting worse and worse," Emperor Yuxuan coughed twice more.

The attendant said: "The previous prescription didn't work. Doctor Zhang from the imperial hospital re-prescribed the prescription for the emperor. He said that you have worked too hard, the emperor, and the prescription that is too tonic is not good for you. You can only adjust it slowly." Only then will it be effective. I have made a fresh soup today, and the servant will bring it to you."

"You go." Emperor Yuxuan only felt chest tightness and unbearable pain. He only felt better after coughing heavily. "By the way, go to the treasury to get some silver taels for disaster relief in the two counties of the Yellow River."

"Yes..." Chang Shi wrote down everything and exited the hall.

After a long time, Chang Shi returned to Qiankun Palace, the hand holding the medicine bowl was shaking.

Emperor Yuxuan was reading a book when a drop of medicinal soup splashed on his wrist.

Chang Shi managed to stabilize his mind, put the soup bowl on the desk, and knelt down in front of the emperor.

Emperor Yuxuan looked up at him, frowned slightly, and asked, "You are so flustered, what happened?"

The attendant kowtowed deeply and said, "The emperor's treasury is empty, and I'm afraid he won't be able to provide the relief money."

Emperor Yuxuan was a little confused, and asked: "How could it be? All these years of taxes, these years of Nanzhao tribute... Where have they all gone?"

"The wars with Nanzhao have been going on these years, and the military pay is allocated from the treasury. This year, the wind and rain are irregular, the south is flooded, and the north is dry. No food can be grown in the fields, and taxes cannot be collected. A few days ago, your majesty A new garden was built for Concubine Yun, all using high-quality jade stones, and the painters and craftsmen were all recruited from Nanzhao. These are all expenses! Right now, there are only a few thousand taels of cash left in the treasury. If the others want to raise money, they have to sell the things in the palace!" Chang Shi nodded his head to the ground, his voice trembling slightly.

"Selling things? Every plant and tree in the palace is left by the ancestors, how can they be sold! When the queen mother was there, everything in the palace was still in order, but in my hands, it was so poor that it was reduced to nothing. It's time to sell the palace artifacts!" After saying all this, Emperor Yuxuan's face was like golden paper, and all kinds of feelings rushed up, he couldn't help coughing violently, as if he wanted to cough up his heart and lungs.

"Your Majesty, take some medicine to moisturize you." Chang Shi said anxiously.

Emperor Yuxuan brought the soup to his mouth with trembling hands, but before he could drink it, he coughed up a mouthful of bloody phlegm and fell into the soup bowl.

After coughing up the bloody phlegm, the depression on Emperor Yuxuan's chest seemed to be better.

Seeing the bloody phlegm in the soup, Chang Shi changed his face, and shouted to the palace people outside: "Hurry up and Xuan the Imperial Physician."
