Chapter 529

Although the Duanhua Emperor has already gone to the throne, so much so that when Qiu Shuxia and Wei Xi were at each other’s throats in the courtroom, they didn’t really put him in their eyes but before the new king was elected, it wasn’t good enough to care about his life or death in the end.

Is to see him fainted, even Gu Shao can not take a stand, busy ordering people to help the emperor back on top of the imperial seat, call the Imperial Doctor quickly come to diagnose!

This diagnostic result is nothing fancy, nothing more than a heart attack: no wonder, just now Qiu Shuxia and Wei Xi that quarrel, really conical, Duanhua emperor was not particularly tough people, and because it is wrongly accused, under the shame and indignation, can not be within reason.

However, in full view of the public, such contempt for an emperor who had not yet formally abdicated would not be good to hear if it were to be rumored.

So Gu Shao very sternly reprimanded Wei Xi and Qiu Shuxia, these two also kneeled down and asked for forgiveness at this time the Duanhua Emperor had not even woken up, naturally they could not hear their request for forgiveness, we all know in our hearts, but it’s just a gesture.

Finally Gu Shao said, “Your Majesty’s imperial body is now in poor health, let’s stop here for today!”

Wei Xi was stunned at his words, his brows suddenly furrowed, but Qiu Shuxia was happy to comply with the order and led the way to leave.

After all, the purpose of King Su’s side right now was to make glue and stall for time.

“What does Minister Gu mean by this?” But Wei Xi dawdled, and only when Empress Wei rushed over to take over the care of Emperor Duanhua, and Gu Shao left the palace, did she meet him and stop him, questioning in a low voice, “Is Minister Gu going to stop remembering the love of master and disciple?”

“Do you really think that, just now, if old me didn’t give the word for all of you to disperse, that the matter of the Crown Prince’s ascension to the throne could be decided in the presence of the Emperor?” However, Gu Shao sniffed and laughed coldly, stroked his long beard and said disdainfully, “What’s the use of dragging your feet when it’s obvious that it’s impossible? It would be better to return to the house earlier to discuss countermeasures!”

Wei Xi is not really anxious, but is a gesture, at the moment see Gu Shao seems to be still toward the Prince, the heart let go of the heart, arched his hand, easing the tone of voice, “I am anxious, I hope that the Minister of Gu forgive me!”

Accompanying Gu Shao walked a few steps, and then probed, “But now Qiu Shuxia is stirring up trouble, obviously wanting to delay time for King Su to rush back to the imperial capital, but I don’t know if Prime Minister Gu can have a good plan to give?”

“That also requires him to be able to return!” Gu Shao said expressionlessly, “The forbidden army … to the left of the imperial capital are not all in He Wenqiong’s hands?”

Wei Xi’s eyes flashed and said, “But after all, Su Wang is a son of the clan, and is the son of the first emperor’s direct relative, even if he is succeeded to Su Hui Wang …”

“Commoner Lu Hehao is bold and presumptuous, colluding with the forbidden army and plotting against King Su, the crime is truly heinous and unforgivable!” Gu Shao lightly glanced at him and said, “What? You guys aren’t going to do it anymore?”

This, he said, was precisely the Wei family’s backhand.

Didn’t the Su family want to stall for time so that King Su could rush back to fight for the throne?

However, the military power near the imperial capital is in the hands of He Wenqiong, King Su is to insert wings, but also can not fly into the imperial city!

As long as King Su was close to the imperial capital, He Wenqiong would order his troops to go straight out and drive them to extinction under the guise of Lu Hehao!

No matter how powerful the “Dai Feng” of the Qingzhou Su Clan is, in the end, it is only the secret guards of a declining family, how can it be compared to the elite of a proper army?

It would be just as well if King Su wandered away from the Imperial Capital because of this.

I’d like to see if the Su family is capable of dragging this out for years and years!

Now that this hand was broken by Gu Shao, Wei Xi was not surprised, only smiled and said, “This is also something that can not be helped, the crown prince is young, still need to be taught by Gu Xiang, we as a foreign family, we can only make this modest contribution!”

The meaning of the words, the crown prince ascended to the throne, and Gu Shao is an honor.

Gu Shao faintly said, “The crown prince is naturally intelligent, the empress is also deeply Wei Shangshu’s true heritage the old man is so old, after this time, also feel a little tired.”

When Wei Xi heard this, he only thought that Gu Shao did not intend to get into the muddy water this time and could not help but frown slightly.

Unexpectedly, Gu Shao continued, “So after the Crown Prince ascends to the throne, it’s time for me to return to Hongzhou!”

“Gu shao is old and strong, why do you say that?” Wei Xi couldn’t figure out his intention of saying so, and after testing a few sentences, he saw Gu Shao’s brows were heavy with depression, thinking that he was most likely pissed off by Emperor Duanhua after all, this emperor, but Gu Shao was planning to assist him to become a bright ruler who was comparable to Emperor Xianjia!

And the result?

Three years less than even body reputation, and let Gu Shao this level of veteran minister, are powerless to return to the body reputation.

It’s reasonable to say that ministers like them, who are dedicated to assisting the ruler, are really unable to cry when they are faced with such a monarch!

It was no wonder that Gu Shao was discouraged.

Wei Xi is happy to see this, he personally taught out of the eldest daughter he can not understand? Empress Wei is sure to want to stay Gu Shao check and balance her family Wei Xi does not have the ambition to usurp the throne, because cleareyed people can see, Lu’s gas has not been exhausted, to be a relative’s ambition is too much, but it is the loss of the Wei family’s foundation for many years, step God all Gu’s dust!

But on the rare occasion that he stumbled upon his grandson’s juvenile ascension to the throne, he of course wished to take advantage of this opportunity to make a profit for the Fengzhou Wei Clan.

In fact, the reason why Qingzhou Su can become one of the six valves in the best situation, is not because there is a Empress Su, and Emperor Xianjia husband and wife, and even the whole Su family by the Emperor’s favor?

Empress Wei is not the same as Empress Su, Empress Su has a good relationship with her mother’s family, and because after giving birth to her son, she hopes to let her son ascend to the throne, and very much need to use the power of her mother’s family, so her mother’s family to dig the corner of the big Rui is not only not against it, but also harboring and encouraging attitude: her mother’s family is not strong, how to help her son to seek the big position?

But Empress Wei, on the one hand, had saved a gap with her mother’s family, and on the other hand, her son had already become the Crown Prince long ago, so of course she looked at the entire Da Rui world as her son’s property!

In this situation, she naturally wouldn’t allow her mother’s family to grow too much after all, as a normal real mother, no one would want their son to be hollowed out as a puppet.

“Gu Shao hibernation for twenty years before the mountain, this time only a few years to go back, may not be sincere, back or a good test to confirm!” I am happy to see it come to fruition, now the crown prince has not yet come to power, Wei Xi heart happy under the also put aside, turn to talk about the main thing, “Su family heritage is not under my Wei family, and because of the Empress Dowager Su in the Xianjia dynasty by the late emperor’s respect, the Su family from this benefit, the former dynasty of more than 20 years of time, enough to the Su family to reach out to every aspect of the big Rui So, even if the King of Su into the emperor is cut off, the Su family is the only way to get to the emperor, the Su family is the only way to get to the emperor. So, even if King Su’s path to the imperial capital is cut off, I’m afraid the Su family has a way to resolve the situation.”

He paused, “For example, supporting concubine Lu Hehao to ascend to the throne as a puppet, and eradicating us in the name of the false emperor!”

“Lu Hehao is now in Jia Mu Palace.” Gu Shao plainly said, but Wei Xi already understood his meaning and laughed, “What Prime Minister Gu said is very true!”

I’m going to kill King Su, what’s one more Lu Hehao?

As for whether Lu Hehao’s death in the Jia Mu Palace now will be regarded as the imperial empress killing people to vent her anger, anyway, the court has now completely torn the face, this kind of thing as long as it does not fall into the exact handle, just a verbal dispute are of little significance.

What really determines victory or defeat is not above the table at all, but below it: for example, the Wei family is opening a net on the left side of the imperial capital in anticipation of King Su, while pulling in Gu Shao He Wenqiong and others.

For example, Su Shaoge is saying to Qiu Shuxia, “The most critical point now is actually He Wenqiong! This person is in charge of the forbidden army near the imperial capital, not to mention the fact that he can block King Su’s return with this, even if King Su enters the imperial capital, even if he has already ascended to the throne, it is not considered safe!”

After all, the forbidden army on the left side of the imperial capital was handed over to He Wenqiong from two years before Emperor Xianjia’s death, and a hundred purges were made to ensure that they were obedient to He Wenqiong and loyal to Emperor Duanhua.

Years of accumulation cannot be dismantled overnight.

“This matter is a little difficult to do!” Qiu Shuxia today in the court although by Wei Xi beat a meal, but the emperor in front of the hundred officials to see, the two are not to death, are some flesh wounds he did not take it seriously, after the court back to the house casually on a little medicine on the injury to come over, this is a face of bruises and purple very some funny, but at the moment the seat in the mood to make fun of the people.

After thinking about it, Qiu Shuxia said, “The old thing surnamed He followed the end of the chemical, may not be willing to abandon the dark. However, his granddaughter entered the palace not long ago, and now the end of the wrong, that He Xiuyi will not have a good end; and his son He Qian, this month to Shang Changxing Princess, I do not know if you can do something from his two juniors?”

“It’s not much use!” Su Shaoge shook his head and said, “He Wenqiong doesn’t only have a son and a granddaughter at his knee! Especially since her granddaughter will have to leave the palace sooner or later, and although her future is bleak now, if He Wenqiong is successful in supporting the Crown Prince, Empress Wei’s shrewdness and thoughtfulness will definitely not skimp on preparing a side palace for He Xiuyi in her own future palace, so that she can live in the palace for a long time, not having to go to the palace to be tortured and be able to reunite with her family every once in a while.”

“As for He Qian, to put it mildly, with Changxing’s usual reputation, He Wenqiong, for the sake of her son’s good, that’s what makes it all the more important to support the Crown Prince after all, if the one who ascends to the throne is the Crown Prince, Changxing’s status will certainly be in tatters, and it’s good enough that it can survive, so how can it dare to put on a Golden Bird’s face to He Qian? ”

“If the throne is the King of Su, Changxing is the sister of the King of Su, at that time, He Qian An dares to be negligent?”

Qiu Shuxia frowned, wanting to say something but holding back.

“But we only need to move the stumbling block of He Wenqiong for King Su, and we may not necessarily need to necessarily do something on him.” Su Shaoge’s face was expressionless, “How did He Wenqiong’s predecessor, Linghu Deyin, retire?”

He Wenqiong’s predecessor, Linghu Deyin, who served as Minister of the Ministry of the Army, resigned from his post to help his mother die of illness and return to his hometown.

He Wenqiong’s own defense and then watertight, his old father and mother far away in Sanzi, may not be unable to do tricks!

Qiu Shuxia’s brows stretched for a moment, then mused, “But He Wenqiong’s mulberry outlet is a thousand miles away from the imperial capital …”

This back and forth, even if things went well, would not be possible without a small half a month.

And in the present situation, a delay of three to five days may be possible, but how can a delay of 10 days and half a month be possible?

“Why don’t we first support commoner Lu Hehao or King Shu to ascend the throne?” Qiu Shuxia couldn’t help but say, “At that time, we’ll use them to eliminate the Wei family, and then let them abdicate to King Su!”

“No!” Su Shaoge immediately vetoed, “that concubine Lu Hehao mind gloomy and good at camouflage hibernation, this kind of person is the most dangerous but, if not at the moment can’t spare a hand, I’ll be the first to kill is him! Let alone help him to the throne he has been before when the idle king that will be able to quietly do that many things, so that the emperor in his hands ate so big loss, but now can not be defended! If do the nine to five, then we these people may have to be planted in his hands! So how can we give him such an opportunity?”

Seeing Qiu Shuxia’s disbelief, Su Shaoge sighed, “My family’s ancestors have seen more than one such example! As time is short here, I won’t give you a detailed account, in short, a person like Lu Hehao should never be underestimated just because he’s weak nowadays! This is one of the lessons that my Su family’s ancestors have accumulated over the years!”

Speaking of the King of Shu, “For one thing, Dowager Empress Xu is not a confused person and may not be willing to agree; for another, he is the only one of the late Emperor’s sons who hasn’t been involved in the storm. The Dowager Empress will absolutely not allow him to be dragged into this as well!”

After all, Emperor Xianjia originally had few sons, in order to compete for the throne, each other into hatred collation, each other has reached the point of no common ground.

It was so hard that King Shu didn’t get involved because of his age, how could the Dowager Empress allow others to hit this little grandson’s idea again?

Qiu Shuxia knew that he was telling the truth, right now, although the Dowager Empress did not state that she would support King Su, but Marquis Yan and he, the Dowager Empress’ only maternal family member, had already made their choices, so it must be that the Dowager Empress’ likelihood of being on King Su’s side was still very high it was highly inadvisable to offend this one for the sake of King Shu but he helplessly asked, “Then what is to be done about this time?”

As things stand, he’s dragging his feet for about three more days.

Three days is not good enough to even send someone to He Wenqiong’s old house?

At this time they didn’t know that this problem, the plebeian Lu Hehao was about to solve it for them.
