Chapter 130 The Emperor Fell Ill
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation
After Xiao Shentian sent the queen away, his face suddenly became gloomy.
Eunuch Chang on the side said to Xiao Shentian, "Your Majesty, will you go tomorrow?"
Xiao Shentian nodded and said, "Of course I have to go... If I don't go, how can this play go on?"
Eunuch Chang said to Xiao Shentian with some concerns, "Your Majesty, I know that you trust Xie Jizi very much... So far, Xie Jizi has been able to plan everything out. However, if they poison us, Xie Jizi's antidote will not be able to cure it, then your Majesty's life will be in danger."
Xiao Shentian said with a hint of cruelty on his face, "If I really die, there is a decree of succession hidden behind the plaque in the Golden Throne Hall. You go find the Queen Mother, take the decree of succession, and make sure to stop that beast from ascending the throne."
Eunuch Chang said to Xiao Shentian, "Your Majesty...you can't do that..."
Xiao Shentian said to Eunuch Chang, "Eunuch Chang, the arrow is on the string and has to be shot... The Queen Mother has asked my uncles to mobilize the troops, and they have secretly headed to Jiaodong. Many troops have quietly approached Longyang to protect the emperor. Any troops that come to Longyang without the imperial edict will be wiped out... and now all this still lacks a reason... I will give them this reason."
Eunuch Chang wanted to say something else.
Xiao Shentian said to Eunuch Chang, "Okay, I caused all this. If I hadn't been so indulgent towards the clans, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been so arrogant. Xie Hongzi's solution is indeed the best solution available at the moment. You don't need to say anything more."
The next day.
Although everything seemed calm in Longyang City on the surface.
However, there is actually an undercurrent!
Xie Xunfeng and his men were having a leisurely time in the prison.
Because they have already recruited everyone they should and shouldn’t recruit…
Therefore, Xiao Wenyan also instructed Di Xing Chong to treat them well.
After all, Xiao Wenyan was afraid that they would change their testimony and bring them unnecessary trouble.
That night, the emperor went to Kunning Palace, and the whole family had a happy meal.
If it weren't for the definite news, Xiao Shentian would not have been willing to believe it.
These people would want his life.
After leaving Kunning Palace.
Xiao Nalan and the others said nervously, "Brother, is the medicine given by Mr. Fu useful? Why doesn't Father have any effect at all?"
"My father has been fighting in battles for many years, so his physique is naturally stronger than that of ordinary people. Therefore, the poison will be slower to take effect... and these poisons are not meant to cause my father to die suddenly... how can they have such a quick effect?" Xiao Wenyan said.
The queen said nervously, "Wen Yan, have you made all the other preparations? We can't ignore the old woman in the harem... Even if His Majesty dies, all the old princes will obey her orders no matter what she thinks."
"Mother, don't worry. There are nearly 100,000 troops coming, and the warriors I trained are also ready. As soon as father falls ill, I will replace all the imperial guards with my warriors. Inside, we have my warriors. Outside, we have the support of Yuan Yuan, Master Fu and their armies..." Xiao Wenyan said with a smile.
After hearing what Xiao Wenyan said, the queen finally relaxed.
Until the next day.
Everyone in Kunning Palace was overjoyed because news came from the Yangxin Palace.
The emperor has caught a cold.
The group from Kunning Palace were naturally the first to visit.
It’s not that I care about the emperor.
They just wanted to see how serious the emperor's illness was so that they could decide what to do next.
Looking at him lying on the bed, his face looked weak.
He looked extremely ill.
Everyone was delighted.
I couldn't help but secretly praise that the poison Fu Qian gave was really good.
Because many imperial doctors came, some of them were close confidants of the emperor and the empress dowager.
They all agreed that the emperor had caught a cold due to the cold.
You should know that this disease was fatal in ancient times.
"Father, you were fine at the banquet last night. How come you caught a cold?" Although Xiao Nalan was very happy in her heart, she naturally put on a concerned expression on her face.
"Yes, Your Majesty, last night I asked you to stay in Kunning Palace, but you insisted on going back... What do you think I should do..."
"Father, how does your body feel..."
The emperor was coughing violently at this time, and said, "I... I... I'm fine... Wen Yan... cough cough cough..."
"Father, please speak slower...speak slower!" Xiao Wenyan said nervously and worriedly.
He was just worried that the emperor would die of coughing before he was announced as regent.
The emperor seemed to be calming down, and then said, "It's okay... Wen Yan, the country cannot be without a king for a day. I'm afraid that my cold will not be cured for a while... But government affairs cannot be neglected... During my recovery, you will manage the country on my behalf ."
After hearing what the emperor said, Xiao Wenyan was still a little surprised.
Because Xiao Wenyan wanted to spend some time to get the emperor to hand over the power of governing the country to him. He never expected that the emperor would give it to him before he even said anything.
This made him feel a little embarrassed.
However, this emotion was fleeting.
"Father, I dare not..." he said politely.
"You are already my prince. I ordered you to come, so what? You still don't want to be the prince... cough cough cough..." Xiao Shentian said sternly.
Xiao Wenyan did not refuse and agreed reluctantly.
Then he said to His Majesty, "Father, do you need to write an edict... I'm afraid..."
Xiao Shentian naturally would not write this edict. He smiled faintly and said, "Go with confidence. If anyone dares to question you, just throw them into the Heavenly Prison! I give you this power!"
This is also Xie Xunfeng's advice to Xiao Shentian.
This way, Xiao Shentian can see clearly who can be used and who cannot be used in the future...
Who are the loyal ministers! Who are the ministers who are trying to smooth things over! Who are the traitorous ministers?
Seeing Xiao Shentian say this, Xiao Wenyan agreed immediately.
Because he also wanted to use this trick.
To identify which people are the emperor's diehard fans.
If we use the emperor's method, we will throw the emperor's diehards into the Sky Prison.
It can indeed save him a lot of worry.
He then immediately summoned all the ministers and held an additional court meeting.
After all the ministers arrived .
Xiao Wenyan directly announced the emperor's oral order.
After the ministers heard this, there was an uproar.
Everyone looked at each other, and then whispered to each other.
Looking at their expressions, Xiao Wenyan continued, "Father has ordered that anyone who objects is disobeying the Emperor's orders! They will all be thrown into the Heavenly Prison!"
After hearing Xiao Wenyan's words, there was another uproar among the ministers.
