faint [rebirth]

After Prime Minister Zuo returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he began to thank the guests behind closed doors and never saw anyone again.

It's just about going to court. Prime Minister Zuo has been a prime minister and an important minister for so many years, and he still can't let go of important affairs in the court. Therefore, even with Xiao Wuchen's words, he is still diligently going to court every day, but after going to court, he will Go home immediately.

To be honest, Prime Minister Zuo's behavior is quite different from the past, but anyone who cares a little bit about Prime Minister Zuo will find something is wrong, and then try to ask Prime Minister Zuo why.

But Emperor Chengguang did not.

Sadly, Prime Minister Zuo watched Chengguang Emperor's spirits slump day by day, and he became less and less energetic when he went to court to deal with political affairs every day, and he was even a little perfunctory.

Prime Minister Zuo is not only sad now.

Although he came from a noble family, he traveled in Daxing for nearly ten years when he was a teenager. He originally planned to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, so that he could become a hermit and live freely in the mountains and rivers.But I found that the people in the world are suffering. Instead of being a hermit and living forever to escape these things, it is better to be an official and do things for the people of the world.

That's why Prime Minister Zuo assisted Emperor Chengguang so diligently, and even when he was plotted to bring up the matter of "removing the vassal", he never changed his original intention - the reunification of the world is a matter of time.

Rather than doing this again when Daxing is facing internal and external troubles, it is better to take advantage of Daxing's foreign enemies to temporarily settle down and deal with this internal trouble with all its strength-and Prime Minister Zuo had considerations before. However, the prince is in a good age, and there is King Zhao who is helping him carefully. If Emperor Chengguang failed to deal with this matter thoroughly before his death, after the new emperor succeeds to the throne, he can let the new emperor continue to deal with this matter. For this reason, it is not impossible to relax the means.

It's just that Prime Minister Zuo has calculated thousands of times, but he didn't realize that Emperor Chengguang's obsession with immortality has reached the current stage.If that's the case, it's fine, but Emperor Chengguang is not only obsessed with immortality, but also quite jealous and anxious about the prince who is now in his prime.

In the past, the prince was unwell, but Emperor Chengguang could bear it, and loved the prince a lot.But now, the prince's health is getting better and better. He has military merits and he is still the first son of the heir. He is the No. 1 orthodox successor. Emperor Chengguang naturally cannot tolerate him.

Prime Minister Zuo was a few years older than Emperor Chengguang, thinking about how Emperor Chengguang deliberately made things difficult for the abolished prince back then, forcing the abolished prince to take the bad policy of forcing the palace... Prime Minister Zuo sighed for a long time , can only suppress the thoughts in his heart, control the children and grandchildren in the family, and let the current prince go.

Although Xiao Wuchen had an idea in his heart, but he had a special status, and Emperor Chengguang sent many people to be by his side, so although he gave orders for many things, other people would do them, while he himself, But in the East Palace, he continued to play the piano and paint pictures, or play with flowers and plants leisurely, as if he was not a prince who was about to face difficulties.

The East Palace is still stable, but since the king of Shu has united with the two kings to support the eighth prince, he naturally regards the eighth prince as the most important thing. Not only did he send a lot of people to protect the eighth prince, he also secretly joined hands with Ningyanghou, secretly letting the three kings All rushed to Luoyang City to stand by.

The king of Shu was like this, and so was the king of Yuan.

However, King Yuan and the fourth princess thought over and over again. Although they openly took refuge in the eighth prince, they secretly had their own schemes—Xiao Wuchen was the heir apparent, so he was naturally the candidate for the crown prince.However, King Yuan is the eldest son of the eldest son of Emperor Chengguang's Empress Yuan, and the eldest grandson of Zheng'er Bajing. under.

Therefore, Yuan Wang and the fourth princess also contacted the two vassal kings, trying to succeed in one fell swoop. At present, the two have the same goal, they both force the palace sage, and then abolish the current crown prince.

As for how to abolish the current crown prince...

They haven't thought of a good idea yet, but Emperor Chengguang quickly thought of a "good idea".

In the 34th year of Chengguang, on September 23, the emperor listened to what the treacherous Taoist said, and planned to order the prince to worship him as a teacher, and to test the medicine for the emperor himself, in order to live forever.

As soon as this decree came out, not only the court was in an uproar, but many people in Luoyang City became a little confused.

Most of the courtiers knelt down and begged Emperor Chengguang to take back his will. After all, it is ridiculous enough for the prince of the Daxing Dynasty to officially worship a Taoist priest as his teacher, but Emperor Chengguang planned to let the prince test the medicine for him !

That's the prince!Not only is he the son of Emperor Chengguang, but he is also the one who will inherit the great prosperity of the world in the future!

And although many courtiers have some personal grievances on weekdays, they don't even support the prince that much.However, at this moment, they are unwilling to see Emperor Chengguang continue to be confused about the matter of immortality pills, which will not only harm themselves, but also the prince and Daxing. In the stable life for the rest of the year, many courtiers who did not take refuge in many feudal lords still wished that they could continue to live this stable life.

Of course, there are those who oppose this matter, and naturally there are those who support this matter.

The reasons for those who support this purpose are also simple and clear-for the prince, Emperor Chengguang is both a king and a father. In the face of loyalty and filial piety, the prince should not hesitate to do that thing at all.

Let’s not mention what Xiao Wuchen wants to do in his heart, but those who have contacted many vassals have an idea in their minds—September 23, the imperial decree is issued; September 24, Emperor Chengguang will force Xiao Wuchen to appear in public He recognized the Taoist priest who can only make alchemy as his master, and began to test the medicine himself.

So their chance is September 24th.

The imperial concubine Yunping even thought about the crusade - because the prince was unwell, Chengguang wanted the prince to worship the Taoist priest as his teacher, and the Taoist priest would make alchemy to recuperate him; Understand the heart of the emperor's love for his son, and wanted to force the emperor's father, so the eighth prince and the vassals, in order to save Emperor Chengguang, had to lead a large army to break into Luoyang City, and even the palace, just to save Emperor Chengguang His life, severely punish the unfaithful and unfilial prince!

Concubine Yunping thought about this idea in her heart, and suddenly felt very good.She thought, she finally had a chance to really sit in that position!

And it's not the queen, it's the queen mother!

I will never worry about someone pressing me down, it will be bad for me, and I need to be careful to please.Once she gets that position, she just needs to do whatever she wants from now on!

It is not impossible to even participate in the discussion of state affairs.Who made the Eighth Prince so young? As the mother of the Eighth Prince, she can naturally handle many things for the Eighth Prince.

The imperial concubine Yunping was still thinking about something in her heart, and the eighth prince entered her main hall from outside.

For a long time before, the Eighth Prince was not even allowed to enter her main hall.At the beginning, it was to prevent his face from making the concubine Yunping, who was pregnant at that time, displeased.Later, because the eighth prince did such things that harmed the child in her womb, the imperial concubine naturally disliked him even more, let alone seeing him.

But now, the eighth prince regained the freedom to enter her palace at any time.

The little eighth prince stood outside the main hall of his mother and concubine, with a complicated expression on his face.

The imperial concubine didn't make his expression complicated for too long, seeing that he didn't come in immediately, she quickly went out to greet him with a smile, as gentle as water.

The little Eighth Prince seemed to be in a daze for a while, then suddenly lowered his little head.

The imperial concubine also seemed to have thought of her mistreatment of the eighth prince before, she hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the eighth prince, crying and said: "My son, it's my concubine who was thinking about it for a while, and she actually wronged my son so much. For a long time, it was the concubine's fault, it was all concubine's fault."

The imperial concubine cried while hugging the eighth prince, her crying was true, her guilt was true, and her affection was also true.

But even so, the eighth prince still felt a little awkward in his heart - although he was only six years old, he just thought of a way a while ago to make the child that the concubine mother was looking forward to disappear, so that the concubine mother could only care about it. He alone, rely on him alone.How could such an eighth prince be so innocent and let the imperial concubine deceive him?

He was just a little confused, then raised his face, moved, happy and innocently looked at Imperial Concubine Yunping.

The kings of Shu and Yuan also took actions.

Just waiting for the second day to come.

On September 24th, at Yinshizheng, all four gates of Luoyang City, east, west, north, south, were suddenly opened, and [-] soldiers rushed into Luoyang City, approaching the imperial palace!

The gates of the palace are closed, but one only needs to look at the number of people coming from outside to know that the palace is about to lose its security!

Xiao Wuchen slept the whole afternoon and the first half of the night the day before, and didn't sleep in the second half of the night.

Now that he had eaten some food, he got up and rushed to the gymnasium in the palace.

The situation outside seemed difficult and dangerous, but Xiao Wuchen didn't care.

He knew what the emperor's uncle was capable of, and he also knew that with the help of several good generals and loyal ministers he had learned from his previous life, the emperor's uncle would definitely not be in danger at this moment.And if the emperor's uncle is not in danger, then Luoyang City can be hugged smoothly, and the palace can also be kept.

It's just that the only person who can't be kept is probably the one Xiao Wuchen doesn't want to keep.

For example, King Yuan of Shu, such as the imperial concubine and the eighth prince, etc.

Of course, it is very possible that there is another person in this gym.

He once admired and admired his father and emperor.

"Why." Xiao Wuchen didn't knock on the door, but directly pushed open the door of the gymnasium. He opened his mouth slowly, "Father, I am your son, and I have never thought about coercion in my heart. But father, why do you want me to have to do coercion. Is father really afraid of me, or is he really afraid of me, or is he really afraid of me? Not long after my life was over, I suddenly felt guilty. I felt ashamed of the deposed prince, my elder brother, and thought that the master of the world should be left to the elder brother instead of me, a weak person. "

Xiao Wuchen saw that Emperor Chengguang, who was not looking at him, suddenly looked at him, his heart moved, and he said again: "No, I was wrong. In fact, from the very beginning, Father knew that since I was born, my body has been weak. He is extremely weak, but he still resisted all opinions and canonized me as the prince. In fact, what he wanted in his heart was to give my elder brother the chance to be the master of the world again in the future, right? So, from the beginning, I and Brother Da Huang is the candidate for the crown prince in my father's heart, but my father wants to wait for me to die before handing over the position to Brother Da Huang, doesn't he?"

No wonder, in his previous life, his health was so poor that he couldn't even keep any heirs. His father still refused to give the throne to the eighth prince who was obviously in better health, or the eldest grandson Yuan Wang, but wanted him, a sick child, to continue to be the emperor.

Because Emperor Chengguang knew best what kind of person his son was, he, the emperor, must not be sitting here for long.And once Xiao Wuchen was murdered or died of illness, even though there would be a bloody fight, Emperor Chengguang knew in his heart that the abandoned prince who had been imprisoned for many years and settled down would be the final winner.

And Xiao Wuchen finally understood why he lost so badly in the previous life, and why the emperor really died.

——At that time, although he was weak and trusted the two of them extremely, the power in the court was in his hands, and it was actually not an easy task for the Shen family and the emperor's younger brother to seize power.

However, they still succeeded in seizing power despite his illness, and it was obvious that someone was behind their backs to advise them.

And the praying mantis catching the cicada and the oriole were behind, a smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Wuchen's lips, so, the last winner in the previous life was actually not Shen Shi and his imperial brother, was it?
