Chapter 257

"How is your majesty?"

There was silence in the bedroom of emperor Chengqing. I saw a group of imperial doctors surrounded by the Dragon couch, each frowning. I didn't know what to worry about.

The imperial concubines headed by imperial concubine Jiang are also waiting anxiously. You should know that emperor Cheng Qingdi is their existence to settle down. If the other party has any disadvantages, their concubines will be promoted to be imperial concubines, and the treatment is not a bit poor.

Especially just after they learned that the eldest prince and the third prince killed each other in the front hall and died together, they felt even more frightened. The two older princes died. Now there is only one four Prince and five prince who are only ten years old and seven years old alive. How can they bear the burden of starting their country? It can be imagined that Xiao Chu, a powerful eunuch, will not be in power at that time, The fate of their former imperial concubines.

Not only were these concubines anxious, but even the ministers who hurried to get the news also felt inexplicable.

Well, how on earth did the great prince and the third prince get the news of the death of emperor Cheng Qingdi? The bell did not ring in the palace, and martial law did not begin in Beijing. How did the unwarranted and unfounded news reach the ears of the two princes and make them believe it, so that they simply forced the palace and killed each other in order to seize the first opportunity to compete for the throne.

If it weren't for this, Emperor Cheng Qing wouldn't have been so angry and unconscious that he didn't wake up and his life and death were uncertain.

Those anxious ministers couldn't help but look up slightly and look at the man standing on the side of the Dragon couch. The other party converged. The former hostility can't be seen now. They were wearing a smoky gray uniform and calm. They also held a string of Jasper Buddha beads that they didn't know where to get from, which looked more like a Buddha.

Something's wrong. Governor Xiao's temperament in the past. These ministers all know that the factory Lord who often copies his family and destroys his family is not such a good tempered man, and they don't know whether what happened tonight has anything to do with him.

The great prince and the third prince are the biggest obstacles to Xiao Chu's power. As long as they die, any of the remaining two little princes will only be his puppet. Now, if your majesty dies, he can immediately announce the succession of the throne by virtue of his oral order or a fake edict. At that time, the world will be the world of the patriarchal clan, The world of Xiao Chu is not necessarily his.

I'm afraid the only lucky thing is that he is a eunuch. No matter how much the other party makes, this country will return to the hands of the patriarchal clan sooner or later.

The ministers looked at other important officials around them. They thought that the other party was Xiao Chu's person. They thought that the other party might be involved with Xiao Chu. In the face of unknown forces, they decided to protect themselves one by one. No matter what Xiao Chu decided to do, take one step and look one step. If you want to be a loyal minister, you have to consider the lives of the whole family, old and young.

Look at the fate of the loyal Zhenguo general Yan Zhaonan's family. He has shed blood for the patriarchal clan for generations. He has not been demoralized and killed after the evaluation of the war in the northwest. If Yan Zhaonan is a little vigilant, he will never end up with the tragic death of his family and expose his body in the wilderness.

In fact, with a little brain, he can figure out what happened at the beginning.

Therefore, there is no good result to be a loyal minister. For an incompetent monarch like emperor Cheng Qing, it is not worth the life of the whole family.

In this world, one Peck and one drink is a foregone decision. I'm afraid emperor Cheng Qing didn't know. At the beginning, he thought that his strategy of chess was superior, which makes him now in a helpless situation. This may also be retribution.

"Ah - Woo - woo"

"Wake up, wake up, your majesty."

Under the acupuncture of the imperial doctor, Emperor Cheng Qing slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were confused at first, and then a trace of panic and anger flashed. He twisted his head to find the adulterers Jiang Fengjiao and Xiao Chu Fu Yi is also a rebellious subject and thief, but he can't speak. He just wants to raise his arm. Such a simple action is as difficult as heaven.

The waiting concubines saw that emperor Cheng Qing woke up and hurriedly pushed away the imperial doctors to surround them. Wan Jilan, who didn't care about the emperor's favorite concubines, still stood quietly, and his face just showed a little worry with the crowd.

"Your Majesty, you are awake. You don't know how worried my concubine is about you."

Jiang Fengjiao, of course, was crowded in the front. Emperor Cheng Qing finally raised his hand to point to her nose and scold, but she grabbed it and pressed him on his chest. It was a burst of worry and cry.

"My concubine knows that your majesty is sad about the unfilial behavior of the two princes, but your majesty also has my concubine and our five princes. Please take good care of your health for my concubine and the five princes."

"Woo woo..."

Chengqing emperor's angry eyes are about to pop out. He has been paying attention to Chengqing emperor's concubines. He feels that his majesty is a little strange. But thinking about what happened tonight, the two adult princes, the eldest prince and the third prince, died one after another because of the great crime of forcing the Palace. His majesty can be forgiven for his anger and sadness.

Including those courtiers, they all think so.

"Doctor Liu, what's the matter with your Majesty's body?"

Yan Chu looked up at the emperor who glared at him, slowly opened his mouth, and asked at the Taiyuan hospital where the needle had just been injected.

"Your Majesty is angry and aggressive. I just helped your majesty feel the pulse. Your majesty is afraid, I'm afraid it's a stroke."

Doctor Liu looked at emperor Cheng Qing, then quickly lowered his head and knelt down. When he knelt, other doctors behind him also shouted and knelt down.

Stroke!

Such diseases can be large or small. Combined with the appearance that emperor Cheng Qing can't even speak, his symptoms are definitely not light. I'm afraid he will be accompanied by his bed in the future. Can such an emperor really be competent for the position of emperor.

"Woo - ah -"

Cheng Qingdi doesn't believe it. He is in good health. Soon, he will ascend to heaven.

incorrect.

Emperor Cheng Qingdi suddenly realized that Xiao Chu was the remnant of the Yan family. Would Taoist priest Qingyun and the so-called Taoist priests later found through Xiao Chu have been bought by him long ago? Were those things he ate in recent years pills to wish him a rise or □□?

People are paralyzed, but Cheng Qingdi's brain is clearer than ever.

"Ah ah --"

Thinking of this, Emperor Cheng Qingdi became even more crazy. He kept howling and drooling from both sides of the corner of his lips. With his eyes askew and mouth askew at this time, he saw that those noble concubines were disgusted and took a step back without trace, trying to stay away from the stroke emperor.

"Woo - ah -" adulterer Women, they hurt him. Emperor Cheng Qing was almost crazy. He held his breath in his heart, raised his eyes and fainted again.

"Your Majesty -"

Cheng Qingdi fainted. The concubines who had originally despised him suddenly surrounded him. They came forward and gently called Cheng Qingdi. They seemed to want to wake each other up. They surrounded each other. There was a strong fragrance and noisy voice. Cheng Qingdi just closed his breath for a short time. When he woke up the next second, he really fainted again because of the "tension" of these concubines.

There was another chaos of war. The imperial doctor was busy with treatment. Obviously, it was not a good choice to stay in the bedroom of emperor Chengqing. Under the leadership of Yan Chu, the ministers and several concubines who had a prince and daughter walked towards the front hall.

"Dr. Liu, what is the situation of your majesty? Tell your ministers."

Yan Chu's cold was still not good. At this time, he took a white jade snuff bottle in his hand, put it under his nose, sniffed it, and said after his nose was slightly ventilated.

"Your Majesty was strongly stimulated and hurt his heart. Now his mouth can't speak and his body can't do it. Even if you use good natural materials and earth treasures, you can only prolong your Majesty's life at most, but you can't cure this stroke."

Liu Taiyi said and knelt down: "please ladies and governor Xiao forgive Wei Chen's sin that he is not proficient in learning and can't cure his Majesty's disease. Maybe there are some experts in the folk who can advertise and hire folk doctors to treat his majesty."

"Nonsense, your Majesty's body of ten thousand gold, and the best doctors in the whole business have gathered in Taiyuan hospital to let those three legged quacks cure your majesty. If your Majesty's body is damaged, is it Dr. Liu's responsibility or this palace's responsibility?"

Jiang Fengjiao rejected Liu Taiyi's words without thinking.

Joke, now Cheng Qingdi is paralyzed by anger, and the eldest prince and the third prince are dead, which is the best outcome she wants to see. Although it's not pleasant to have a supreme emperor pressed when her son ascends the throne, since he is dumb and paralyzed, he can't lift any waves. It's good to keep him, which can also be used as a decoration to deter Xiao Chu.

Jiang Fengjiao didn't know the gratitude and resentment between Yan Chu and Emperor Cheng Qing. She only thought Xiao Chu designed this series of things because of her ambition. In her opinion, the people of big business should have a sense of awe for the emperor, including herself. Although she betrayed emperor Cheng Qing for power and status, she was still a little nervous.

Heart to heart, she felt that Yan Chu was the same, otherwise the other party should kill Cheng Qingdi and cut down the roots, rather than leave him alive and let him survive.

She didn't know that Yan Chu just felt that it was too happy to let him die. He let him live just to let him suffer the piercing pain of the cone heart day and night and experience the pain of his original body every day, just like suffering in hell for a year.

Jiang Fengjiao's words have been recognized by some courtiers. In fact, as early as a few years ago, Emperor Cheng Qingdi did not deal with the court politics. The other party's paralysis has no particularly significant impact on the current operation of the court. It's better to directly promote him to be the supreme emperor and quickly establish a new king.

Although the fourth Prince and the fifth prince are still young, the two princes have shown good talents when they are still studying in the palace. As long as they patiently train the successor princes, they can look for the opportunity to recapture the territory of the patriarchal clan from the eunuch Xiao Chu.

"Up to now, I still have to ask your majesty to re-establish a new king."

Yan Chu opened his mouth in Jiang Fengjiao's excited look. From beginning to end, he didn't take a look in the direction of wanjilan.

"That's right."

"That makes sense."

The courtiers talked about it one after another, but they also had some doubts. Now, with your Majesty's appearance, how can you establish a new king? Who is more appropriate to establish the fourth Prince and the fifth prince.

"The establishment of a new monarch is the foundation of the country. Such a major event should be decided by your majesty himself."

As soon as Yan Chu's voice fell, a imperial doctor who had been guarding the dormitory hurried over and said happily, "Your Majesty is awake again."

"Since your majesty has awakened, please go in with me."

Yan Chu put away the snuff bottle and ignored Jiang Fengjiao, who suddenly became frightened and confused, and walked ahead.

*****

"Ah -- woo --"

Let him be the supreme emperor. He didn't agree. Cheng Qing's face was red and his ears were red. He was the emperor. This was the throne he took from his brothers and emperors. He hasn't died yet. How can he get others to sit.

"Please also choose a new king as soon as possible to reassure the people."

Yan Chu stood by the bed and said calmly.

Today's big business is not monolithic. After more than 20 years of recuperation, the northwest Yi people who were defeated by Yan Zhaonan gradually show signs of making a comeback. The big business border these years is not peaceful at all.

In addition, in recent years, there have been frequent droughts and natural disasters such as floods in Dashang. People in some areas have a difficult life. Once the news comes out that emperor Cheng Qing has been paralyzed by a stroke and Dashang has not determined the new king to succeed to the throne, I'm afraid not only the northwest Yi people will take advantage of it, but also those interested people in the affected areas will be unable to sit still.

Xiao Chu's words were reasonable. Even if some ministers looked down on him, they had to nod in agreement and ask emperor Cheng Qing to make up his mind as soon as possible.

"Lan bin, the biological mother of the fourth prince, was born in Wanqi family, and her blood is impure. Concubine Jiang, the biological mother of the fifth prince, is deeply favored by her majesty, and the fifth Prince is talented. Weichen believes that the fifth Prince is the best candidate for the next emperor."

After listening to Yan Chu's words, the minister who agreed with Yan Chu a second ago paused with his original nod and showed such an expression on his face.

The fifth Prince is younger than the fourth prince, and his mother family is not obvious and better controlled. Xiao Chu chose the other party to succeed, which fully shows his wolf ambition.

"Ah ah - Woo -"

Emperor Cheng Qing wanted to make the bed board angrily. The adulterer had sex with him Woman, I really hooked up with Jiang Fengjiao very early. That bitch betrayed him for a eunuch, hateful, hateful.

Originally, the youngest son of the fifth prince was the favorite of emperor Cheng Qing. There were also reasons to love Wu and Wu. Now Jiang Fengjiao was despised by him, and he naturally didn't like him with the Zongzheng Qingde of the fifth prince.

I want him to follow their heart and let the fifth Prince succeed. Don't dream.

"If your majesty likes the fourth prince, blink. If you like the fifth prince, blink twice."

Yan Chu turned his back to the courtiers and stared at emperor Cheng Qing with threatening eyes.

"Ho -- ho ho --"

Emperor Cheng Qing was very angry and laughed back. This was a threat to him. If he didn't follow his heart to make Lao Wu Emperor, would he have to kill him?

Just now, his life is worse than death, especially in the future, he will look at the adulterer like a living dead man Woman, he lives more like a year. He might as well die completely.

Emperor Cheng Qing was a little crazy. The courtiers had to think whether his Majesty was crazy. After a pile of rustling comments came from below, Emperor Cheng Qing was a little calm.

Facing Yan Chu's sight, he blinked slowly, then widened his eyes, and never blinked again.

Although he didn't pay attention to the fourth, the fourth's biological mother, LAN bin, was also a wooden beauty in the palace, but he won. He was still standing behind the most difficult Wanqi family. If Xiao Chu wanted to start with the fourth, he had to see whether the Wanqi family agreed.

Jiang Fengjiao watched the change of the situation and clenched her fists tightly. It was clear that the situation was so good before that Xiao Chu was foolish to let Cheng Qingdi make his own decision. Now, it's hard to ride a tiger. Can't you wait all the time? When Cheng Qingdi's eyes are sour, you can't blink a second time. Those ministers are not fools. Unless they are killed, they will wait for her de'er to ascend the throne, That's a bad name.

"Your Majesty wants the fourth prince to ascend the throne. From now on, he will begin to prepare for the grand ceremony of the new emperor and the Empress Dowager. In the future, it's time to call you the Empress Dowager."

Yan Chu took a deep look at Cheng Qingdi. In the other party's proud eyes, he turned and knelt down towards Wan Jilan: "the empress dowager, Wan Fu Jin'an, millennium, millennium."

"The Empress Dowager's mother, Wan Fu Jin'an, millennium, millennium."

The emperor selected by Emperor Cheng Qing himself, as the biological mother of the new emperor, Wan Qilan was the Empress Dowager. After Yan Chu knelt down and buckled his head, other courtiers knelt down one after another and shouted millennium.

I didn't expect governor Xiao to accept the accession of the fourth prince so easily. Now it seems that governor Xiao still has some scruples. Although the fourth Prince has an alien blood, now it seems that the advantages of his accession to the throne outweigh the disadvantages, at least much better than the fifth prince. Besides, the crown prince personally selected by Emperor Cheng Qing is well deserved. What else can they be dissatisfied with.

"Xiao -"

Jiang Fengjiao was stunned. All this was different from what they had agreed before. When Zong Zhengqing Qi ascended the throne, why did she have to play a play with Xiao Chu? She was paralyzed by anger.

She was about to question Yan Chu, so she watched the little eunuch standing silently behind Yan Chu, took out a jade hairpin from her arms and broke it in front of her.

Jiang Fengjiao's face turned pale with fear. She recognized that this hairpin was the jade hairpin her emperor wore today.

Yan Chu threatened her. He even killed the eldest prince and the third prince. What's more, as long as the fourth Prince is still alive, he can still support a puppet and be relieved to be his de facto Regent.

Jiang Feng's delicate teeth rattled. She was too stupid to seek skin from a tiger. She regretted that she almost swallowed Jiang Fengjiao. She glared at Yan Chu angrily and wanted to swallow him alive.

But the situation is stronger than people. She depends on the fifth prince all her life. Her life is uncertain. She can only endure it. Only when she is alive can she expect the future.

Wan Jilan looked at Yan Chu kneeling in front of her. She knew that under so many eyes, she couldn't come forward to help him up.

What happened tonight was beyond her expectation. It was clear that her plan to help Yan Family redress was still going on steadily, but the other party had quietly destroyed his biggest enemy. As he said, Qi'er became the new emperor and she became the Empress Dowager.

It seems that everything is about to usher in light, but wan Jilan's heart is getting more and more uneasy. She feels that maybe until now, they have really embarked on the opposite. Once she makes a wrong decision, they really have no chance to recover.

"Ah ah - Woo -"

After Yan Chu frankly accepted his choice, Emperor Cheng Qingdi felt that it was wrong. The other party had an affair with Jiang Fengjiao and wanted to support the old five. Why not fight for it now and accept the fact that the old four ascended the throne in such obedience.

He felt that he had fallen into a trap that Xiao Chu had set for him from the beginning.

As emperor Qing's eyes turned to wanjilan, when he saw the yearning and pain from the bottom of each other's eyes, he knew it, and he was angry.

The cunning and eunuch not only hooked up with Jiang Fengjiao, but also seduced LAN bin.

He's a eunuch. Why should he.

Emperor Cheng Qing was so angry that he felt that the whole harem united to give him a green hat.
