I am also waiting for the hero to usurp the throne today [Transmigration Book]

Li Jinyu frowned, trying to figure out the meaning behind Zhong An's words.

From this point of view, it was Concubine Zhong who ordered Zhong An to exchange the civet cat for the prince.

Concubine Zhong slept in Jiaolan Palace without authorization, and the first emperor was forced to abolish her title; Concubine Zhong probably realized that it would be difficult for her to get up again, so she wanted to plan for her children.

Li Jinyu later looked through the records of Concubine Zhong giving birth to a prince, and found that Concubine Zhong gave birth to a prince after her title was abolished.

Presumably it was a moment of pride after pregnancy that she made such an act.

At about the same time, the current Empress Dowager also gave birth to a prince, and Concubine Zhong began to think about it.

When all the details were aligned, Li Jinyu instantly understood why the Queen Mother had always been lukewarm to him.

It must be that the queen mother discovered this from somewhere later, but she had to grit her teeth and endure it—the queen mother is not in good health, and there is only one child under her knees, Emperor Jingchang. If it is revealed that the prince is not her own, it may be difficult to become a prince .

How can the queen mother and empress dowager compare to the domineering palace?

And her own parents and children were buried in the cold palace together with Concubine Zhong, which probably made the Queen Mother gritted her teeth with hatred and vented her anger on the original body.

Then everything becomes clear.

After sorting out these things, Li Jinyu felt a little heavy in his heart.

Although their hamster family relationship is very indifferent, they still feel a little pitiful for what happened between Yuan Shen and the prince who died young.

One left his biological mother shortly after birth, and died early when he was less than three years old;

One grew up as a prince, but was neglected by his mother, poisoned by the poison of extermination, and abandoned himself.

I also don't know if the reason why the original body gave up on himself was because he knew that he was not the queen mother's own...

Li Jinyu looked down at the old eunuch who changed the two princes back then, trying to see a trace of uneasiness on his face, but he could only see the numbness and loneliness behind the dense wrinkles.

The old eunuch has been sweeping the ground in the imperial mausoleum for more than ten years, his hands have become very rough, and his speech is no longer very fluent.

Li Jinyu finally let out a long sigh, and waved his hand to let Zhong An go down for now.

The shock of knowing this for the first time gradually subsided, and Li Jinyu glanced sideways at Huo Caijin who had been silent at the side.

It is said in the original book that the siblings of the Huo family have a very good relationship and they have always stood on the same side on major issues.

For things like the identity of the emperor, how can we communicate with each other, right?

In this way, even if Huo Caiyu didn't have that thought, he should have it!

Usurping the throne and seizing power, and proclaiming himself emperor, wouldn't it be possible to usurp him by force... Bah, wouldn't he be able to make him a queen?

Huo Caijin received Li Jinyu's gaze, nodded, and the voice hidden behind the ghost's face carried a trace of murderous intent: "The minister will deal with him now."

Li Jinyu: "...Wait? Who are you going to deal with?"

"Didn't your majesty ask me to kill Zhong An?"

Li Jinyu: "..."

Huo Caijin went to the southwest, why is she suddenly so ruthless? !

Worried that Huo Caijin really wanted to silence Zhong An, Li Jinyu quickly explained: "That's not what I mean... Zhong An has stayed in the imperial mausoleum for more than ten years and has not revealed the news, so there is no need to kill the grass."

Huo Caijin tilted her head, pondered for a moment, and nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty is wise."

Seeing her give up, Li Jinyu heaved a sigh of relief, and couldn't help scratching his ears.

Why is it that Huo Caijin, like her younger brother, always can't understand what he says?

He couldn't clearly say that he expected Huo Caiyu to take his place...

Huo Caijin didn't know what he was thinking, but suddenly he comforted him again: "Your Majesty, don't worry, now you are the only one of the late emperor and prince, even if news really leaked out, no one would dare to make irresponsible remarks."

Even if we know that His Majesty is not the Empress Dowager himself, so what?

Concubine Zhong and the little prince from back then are both gone, and there is no other person to sit on the throne.

Li Jinyu was even more unhappy when he heard this consolation.

He coughed and hinted tactfully: "General Huo, the blood of my Dadi royal family has withered. It is really impossible, and it may not be necessary to have the blood of the first emperor to succeed to the throne."

Saying this would probably scare the royal family to death, this was the most obvious hint Li Jinyu could think of.

Fortunately, there is only Huo Caijin in the room now, and she is Huo Caiyu's biological sister, so she can't mess around.

After hearing Li Jinyu's words, Huo Caijin was taken aback for a moment, and then her demeanor suddenly softened a lot.

She still said in that hoarse voice, "Your Majesty really thinks so?"

"Of course!"

Even through the ghost mask, Li Jinyu still felt that Huo Caijin was looking at him steadily.

After a long while, Huo Caijin laughed in a low voice, and said: "Your Majesty looks at the world and doesn't stick to blood, I really admire you."

Li Jinyu accepted the compliment calmly, and looked at Huo Caijin expectantly.

Since you admire him, go back and persuade your younger brother to usurp the throne!

As if in agreement, Huo Caijin suddenly asked a question: "Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something or not."

"You said."

"Although I don't go out, I have heard a lot of rumors that your majesty and the regent brought down the traitor together." Huo Caijin raised her head, and her hoarse voice was filled with confusion, "Although I am confident, I am not inferior to a man. But I also know that His Majesty gave the minister a chance to pacify the southwest because of the Prince Regent's face."

Li Jinyu didn't understand what Huo Caijin meant.

Huo Caijin walked around for a long time, and finally raised her own question, "I've always been curious...why does Your Majesty treat the Regent so heart-to-heart?"

Even if His Majesty delegated power to Prime Minister Ye in the past, he just ignored him, neither prevented Prime Minister Ye from greedy for power, nor took the initiative to provide convenience for Prime Minister Ye.

However, when dealing with Huo Caiyu, His Majesty has 100% trust in all aspects. He almost responds to requests for power, army, and money.

Even the emperor didn't care so much for the prince.

Li Jinyu blurted out without thinking: "Of course it's because I think Huo Caiyu has the ability to govern the world!"

Huo Caijin was slightly taken aback, and the air pressure in her body suddenly dropped a little: "That's all?"

Li Jinyu originally wanted to reply "Otherwise", but suddenly stopped when the words came to his lips.

If he had just traveled here, or even half a year ago, he would have answered without hesitation—"Yes! That's all!"

But asking him this question now, I don't know why he couldn't be so sure.

His trust in Huo Caiyu seems to be based on something other than the original work.

I thought this extra thing was just the cinnabar that had entered the pond, and it would soon be washed away; however, with Huo Caiyu's confession at the gate of the Jiuzhong Palace in the middle of the night and the confession in the New Year's Palace, it seemed that it became more and more intense, and the pond was completely cleared. All the ponds were smudged into a deep blush.

To this day, it seems that the only thing left for Huo Caiyu to ascend the throne is the obsession to get rid of this personal shackles.

Sometimes Li Jinyu even felt that if he could freely transform into a hamster body, he and Huo Caiyu seemed to be in good condition now.

After a while, Li Jinyu recovered from the mess of thoughts, lowered his head, and murmured in confusion: "I don't know either."

Even without considering the issue of personal shackles, Huo Caiyu's need for him is obviously not just the friendship between the monarch and his ministers today.

After all, they can no longer return to the previous tacit understanding and harmony.

If their relationship wants to go further... that is to wait for Huo Caiyu to make him a queen after he ascends the throne.

Li Jinyu's ears were suddenly stained with a blush.

……

The few days of fasting will soon be over, and Long Nian and his party are also preparing to return to the capital.

Huo Caijin seemed to be a little worried about Li Jinyu's mental state, and always found excuses to wander around him casually, talking about miscellaneous topics.

Li Jinyu himself thought it was okay - on the one hand, he had not fully assumed the role of Emperor Jingchang, and it was difficult to empathize with Emperor Jingchang; on the other hand, it was also because this matter had no effect on the current situation.

The Empress Dowager knew about this, Emperor Jingchang knew about it, didn't they just come here after so many years?

Li Jinyu sat in the dragon chariot, watching the scenery outside through the window.

Winter is coming to an end, and the breath of early spring is gradually approaching.

From the capital city to Tianqi Mountain, both sides of the official road are full of Di flowers, the national flower of Di Dynasty.

Di flowers were originally just weeds on the side of the road, but when they are planted in such a neat way, they are quite different.

Li Jinyu stayed in the palace after time travel, and it was late spring when he raised the new tax and sneaked out of the palace.This is the first time to appreciate the appearance of the blooming Dihua all over the mountains and fields.

"Clang!"

Just as he was engrossed in admiring it, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of the car window, and he raised his hand to close the window of the Dragon Chariot.

Li Jinyu was taken aback for a moment, and Huo Caijin's solemn voice was already heard in his ears: "Be careful, Your Majesty, there are assassins!"

"sulfuric acid!"

Afterwards, there was a sound of clanging, clanging, metal and iron knocking outside.

When Li Jinyu came back to his senses, doubts arose in his heart—someone assassinated him?who is it?

Assassinating the emperor is a first-class crime of treason, without sufficient motivation, ordinary people would never do it!

If he died now, who would get the throne?

The first thought flashed through Li Jinyu's mind: Could it be Huo Caiyu?

However, he subconsciously rejected this possibility immediately.

There are tens of thousands of ways for Huo Caiyu to usurp the throne, wouldn't it be better to force the palace to let him write down the imperial edict?Engage in assassination on the way back to Beijing...

Subconsciously, Li Jinyu didn't believe that Huo Caiyu planned to kill him.

It hasn't been long since Huo Caiyu confessed his love, so he shouldn't want to kill him so soon because of love and hatred, right?

Who else but Huo Caiyu...

Li Jinyu couldn't help but worry about the situation outside.

When the emperor came to the Eternal Imperial Mausoleum to worship, he would bring the guards of the imperial army, but the area surrounded by the imperial army was far away, and it was impossible for ordinary assassins to come to the dragon carriage.

Now that they are here, they will either be attacked by a large army, or a lone assassin with high martial arts skills.

Li Jinyu remembered that it was said in the original book that Huo Caijin's strategy of deploying troops is extremely powerful, but his own kung fu can only be regarded as barely getting started.

He began to worry about Huo Caijin's safety.

If Huo Caijin was injured or died here, I also know how sad Huo Caiyu would be.

Thinking of this, Li Jinyu couldn't help but quietly pushed the window open a gap.

If Huo Caijin is in danger, he can still use his spiritual power to save him.

Through the gap, the scene of Huo Caijin chopping off the head of a man in black with a long knife in his hand caught Li Jinyu's eyes instantly, which shocked him.

——Wow, is sister Huo so cruel?

No wonder the southwestern chieftain rebellion was wiped out by Huo Caijin so quickly!

Li Jinyu patted his chest, trying to break free from the scene of the bloody prickly hula just now.

In such a daze, Huo Caijin had already finished off the last black-clothed assassin with one blow, walked to the side of the dragon chariot, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, all the assassins have been given their heads."

Li Jinyu came back to his senses: "Well, it's hard work for General Huo... Is General Huo okay?"

"I'm fine, I just ask Your Majesty to return to Beijing as soon as possible." Huo Caijin got on the horse, her hoarse voice was slightly anxious, "I'm afraid the capital has changed."

……

Someone assassinated the emperor, naturally they came prepared.

Li Jinyu agreed to Huo Caijin's proposal without hesitation, and the dragon chariot hurried towards the capital.

When he arrived in the capital, Li Jinyu looked out through the car window, and was surprised to find that the capital looked very stable, and the people were walking around the streets to celebrate the Dihua Festival, and there did not seem to be any signs of rebellion.

Is the assassination on the road just an accident?

Huo Caijin obviously didn't think so. Looking around at the guards with strange demeanor at the main gate of the capital, his voice was more cautious: "Your Majesty, be careful."

Li Jinyu had always followed the advice of professionals, obediently shrank in the dragon chariot and let Huo Caijin take him back to the palace.

Originally, the emperor was supposed to take a turn in the open-top dragon chariot on the streets with the most crowds, to show the emperor and the people the same joy; but this time the situation was weird, and Li Jinyu did not try to be brave until the dragon chariot sent him to the palace Get out of the car.

As soon as he got out of the car, Li Jinyu felt something was wrong with the atmosphere.

There have always been guards outside the emperor's bedroom, and after being rectified by Huo Caiyu at first, they were all replaced by dedicated, serious and responsible people.

Those guards had been on duty outside the dormitory for a year, and Li Jinyu was already familiar with them.

Now the palace is full of unfamiliar faces.

As a hamster spirit, Li Jinyu was very sensitive to the emotions of strangers, and immediately noticed that these strange guards seemed to be standing there straight, but in fact they were quietly looking at him.

Huo Caijin, the ghost-faced general who was protecting the chariot just now, had disappeared.

Li Jinyu frowned, did not act rashly, and walked into the bedroom.

In the dormitory, Chang Kangzheng stood beside the dragon chair with a pale face. When he saw Li Jinyu coming back, his eyes lit up, as if he had found the backbone: "Your Majesty is back!"

Li Jinyu sat down and frowned: "What happened?"

Outside the palace, the people were celebrating, but inside the palace, there was a lot of killing.

"Your servant doesn't know either." Changkang's face was still a little terrified, and he managed to suppress his mind, "Not long after His Majesty left, this servant wanted to inform the Supervisor of Ceremonies and asked them to prepare the schedule for His Majesty's return in advance... I didn't expect to see the schedule for His Majesty's return." Before leaving the palace gate, he was stopped. The servants took a closer look, and all the guards outside His Majesty's bedroom were replaced by people they didn't know!"

Chang Kang was the chief eunuch next to Li Jinyu, and he could almost be said to have the highest status among the palace eunuchs.If the emperor's palace changes the guards, it is impossible not to get his approval.

The newly replaced guards dared to stop the people who came out of the emperor's palace... Unless they can guarantee that they will not be reprimanded by the emperor in the future, they will never do such a dead-end thing.

Li Jinyu had noticed the change of guards before entering the door, and frowned, "And then?"

"The slaves scolded them for their ulterior motives, and they would only say that they obeyed orders... The slaves asked them whose order they followed, and they said..." Changkang's voice lowered a little, and he spit out three words from his mouth with some unease, "Regent."

Huo Caiyu?

Li Jinyu was stunned for a moment: "Isn't the regent fighting at the border?"

"This servant doesn't know." Chang Kang was anxious, "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

Li Jinyu thought for a while, then turned his head and walked out of the bedroom. Before he could take a few steps, the guards on both sides stopped him with halberds in their hands: "The regent has orders. No one is allowed to leave your majesty's bedroom!"

Chang Kang followed behind, and when he heard that the guard dared to say such a thing to His Majesty, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Are you against the sky? Could Your Majesty be inferior to the Regent?"

The two guards ignored Chang Kang and repeated rigidly: "The Regent has orders, no one is allowed to leave His Majesty's bedroom."

Li Jinyu himself never felt that there should be any airs, it was better for Chang Kang to be angry, but a little puzzled: the two guards were full of anger and not guilty at all, it can be seen that they firmly believed in what they said...

Huo Caiyu didn't manage the palace for a day or two. If people from other forces had placed so many guards with ulterior motives in the palace, wouldn't he have discovered it?

Or... Huo Caiyu really prepared this weird coup?

Thinking of this, Li Jinyu asked, "Where's General Huo Caijin?"

The guard replied: "General Huo has completed his duties and has returned to Huo Mansion."

Li Jinyu frowned again.

Huo Caijin is the guard for him to go to the Eternal Emperor's Mausoleum to sacrifice this time. If it is a third-party rebellion, Huo Caijin should be excluded anyway...

"How about my beloved concubine and queen mothers?"

"Everyone, empress dowager, please be well."

Li Jinyu was slightly relieved.

If Huo Caiyu rebels, he really doesn't have to worry about the safety of those people in the harem; but if it's a third-party force, then maybe those innocent people will be implicated as well.

If it wasn't for Huo Caiyu, then of course Li Jinyu didn't intend to sit still.

Back in the bedroom, Li Jinyu asked Chang Kang to go down to rest for a while, and turned to the black cat's room.

The black cat is lying on the table and playing with the glutinous rice balls in the cage.

He put his black tail into the hamster's cage, luring Tangyuan to bite, and quickly pulled away before Tangyuan bitten, angry Tangyuan kept grinding his teeth in the cage.

Li Jinyu saw this scene when he entered the door, he couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't scare Tangyuan, our hamsters are very timid."

"You are really timid, but this guy may not be sure." The black cat snorted, but still pulled its tail out of the cage, "Are you back?"

"Well, what's going on in the palace?" Li Jinyu sat down and asked curiously.

He, a fellow townsman, took part of Ye Chengxiang's memory, and he is an unnoticed kitten, so he must have found out more information.

"What else can happen, coup d'état." The black cat seemed to be saying that today's cat food is not tasty enough, and yawned listlessly. "Humans just like to do these things."

"Who initiated it?"

"I don't know, it's not Huo Caiyu anyway."

Li Jinyu wondered, "Why?"

"The scope of the coup d'état is only inside the palace, and the people in the capital know nothing about it. It can be seen that the coup d'état does not need the support of public opinion, and it can even be said that he does not want the people to know about it." The black cat analyzed lazily, "If Huo Caiyu wants to usurp the throne, it is best A good choice is of course to take all the achievements of the past year to yourself, and then arrange countless infamy for you, and finally rise to the position with the support of the people and ministers."

Li Jinyu's face turned serious: "So that's how it is."

Since it's not Huo Caiyu, he must not let the throne that belongs to Huo Caiyu be taken away.

The black cat seemed to see Li Jinyu's thoughts, and added coolly: "Of course, Huo Caiyu is not completely unrelated."

"what?"

"You don't think that Huo Caiyu is going to attack the country at this very time, do you?" The black cat snorted and raised a cat's paw to gesture, "He has been the regent for so long, what's the situation with the imperial guards in the capital?" Don't you know? Even if he wasn't the one who rebelled, he must have provided convenience."

Li Jinyu was confused: "Why?"

Does Huo Caiyu want someone else to be emperor?

"Isn't this very simple? If other people rebel, he can return to the capital with hundreds of thousands of troops in the name of King Qin, and reap the benefits of the fisherman." The black cat snapped its two cat paws together, and then Spread out, "When the time comes, he wants to be the emperor and take you into confinement, or force the emperor to marry, it's entirely up to him."

Li Jinyu scratched his ear and hesitated for a moment: "The previous option seems to be okay...?"

The black cat rolled his eyes.

Li Jinyu ignored it, and lowered his head to think about it by himself.

As long as Huo Caiyu becomes the throne, the shackles on his body will be released. At that time, as a fairy with spiritual power, he can go wherever he wants?Never get stuck at all!

And staying with Huo Caiyu seems to be a good choice...

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible. Li Jinyu raised his head excitedly, and suddenly thought of something, the excitement on his face stopped immediately: "But... I always feel that Huo Caiyu has not left the capital."

The black cat froze for a moment: "Where did you see it?"

Li Jinyu scratched his ears, a little lack of confidence: "I... just intuition! I always feel that Huo Caiyu is still by my side..."

The black cat looked at him inexplicably, and said for a long time: "Do you think he is crazy?"

"Who missed him!"

Unable to explain it to the black cat, Li Jinyu started to think about it.

If Huo Caiyu really didn't leave the capital, what was his plan?Is it really just reaping the benefits of the fisherman as the black cat said?Does that mean that he just pretends to be captured by the rebels?

——However, he is now under house arrest in the bedroom, which seems to be no different from being captured by the rebels...

Then he just wait there and finish the job?

He is so good at this!

The joy in Li Jinyu's heart hadn't burst out for a long time, when he heard a sudden shout of killing from outside.

Shocked, he walked to the window and looked out.

Pushing open the screen window of Xuanmu Ying, one can have a panoramic view of the situation outside the bedroom.

An army wearing blue armor is fighting to the death with the guards guarding outside the palace!The sound of clashing swords, screams and cries of pain was endless, and the square outside the palace was almost stained red with blood.

Li Jinyu's face was pale, and he almost wanted to close the window and escape.

——Is this blue army Huo Caiyu's force?

Before this idea was fully formed, an arrow was shot fiercely from the cyan army, heading straight for the window of the bedroom!
