Outside the gate of king Qi's residence.
Wang Xuan instinctively looked around with vigilance before he hurried in.
In the main hall, Xiao Ming stood with both hands waiting for him.
"Your Highness."
Standing in the main hall, Wang Xuan looks at Xiao Ming and suddenly feels that today's Xiao Ming is different from the past.
Hearing Wang Xuan's voice, Xiao Ming turns around. Yesterday, he was busy with the bank's publicity. It is only today that he has time to summon Wang Xuan. Xiao Wenxuan is seriously ill, which is definitely not a good news for him.
Because once Xiao Wenxuan falls, it means that the balance situation of Dayu state is completely disordered, and the most serious one is that Dayu state completely falls into civil strife.
Although he didn't admit that Xiao Wenxuan was a Ming emperor, Xiao Wenxuan became emperor through military achievements, and the crown prince's humble succession could not suppress the domestic chaos.
For the troubled times, the Ming emperor is still in a difficult situation, not to mention the prince such a monarch.
Facing the situation that may be very chaotic in the future, he pretends to be indifferent, but in the dark, he must start to prepare from now on, so that he can deal with the adverse situation at home in time.
Therefore, he must continue to strengthen the deployment and control of Chang'an intelligence network and the infiltration of Chang'an officials.
"Do you know that the emperor fainted?" Xiao Ming looks at Wang Xuan.
Stunned for a moment, Wang Xuan said: "the emperor, I don't know about it. I just know that the emperor's body is slightly ill. I haven't been able to go to court normally for some days."
"Well, it's true that the palace is hiding this." Xiao Ming's brows wrinkled. Such a big event was strictly blocked. At present, only empress Zhao could do it in the palace.
Wang Xuan asked, "how did your highness know that the emperor fainted?"
"It was mentioned in the letter to the princess by Fei Zhongshu." Xiao Ming said, and then he asked, "besides that, there are no other abnormal changes in Chang'an."
"Yes, I wanted to report it to your highness. After the emperor did not go to court, Yang Zhen, the leader of lijingmen, had been in and out of the east palace." Wang Xuan said solemnly.
"Is Yang Zhen in and out of the east palace?" Xiao Ming was surprised.
The Lijing gate only obeyed the instructions of the emperor in all dynasties. Now, before Xiao Wenxuan died, Yang Zhen went to the east palace. This is a sign that he wagged his tail in front of the new master ahead of time.
And from this point, we can also see the seriousness of Xiao Wenxuan's illness. Maybe it's just like what Fiji said. Even if it's carefully recuperated, it can only take a few years.
If empress Zhao and the crown prince secretly delay the treatment, Xiao Wenxuan will lose his head. After all, the fight for imperial power has always been cruel, so it's not surprising that he uses any means.
Wang Xuan noticed Xiao Ming's expression and said, "Your Highness, Yang Zhen is extremely greedy for power. He made it clear that he was a new leader. The lower official was worried that the queen and the crown prince would take control of the government. It is said that many decrees have been issued by Wang Xidai, the eunuch beside the queen. Now the court is also full of discussions. Many ministers ask to see the emperor, but they are all needed by the emperor The reason for recuperation is to stop going back. "
Xiao Ming's eyebrows are getting deeper and deeper. There is only a few words in the letter from Fiji, which makes Xiao Ming unable to fully judge the current situation in Chang'an.
But now the news Wang Xuan brought completely made him alert. He read enough of the historical books. Now the situation is just like the initial stage when his relatives were involved in politics and eunuchs were in disorder.
After pondering for a while, he said: "from now on, to expand the number of secret guards in Chang'an, we need to get news of Chang'an at any time. In addition, you need to design a plan to transfer important people from Chang'an. Once Chang'an changes, you need to be able to ensure that we will bring back the king's mother, Fei Zhongshu and others."
"Yes, your highness." Wang Xuan said in a deep voice, the front one is very simple, but the back one is very difficult.
"In that case, go and prepare now." Xiao Ming said.
After a salute, Wang Xuan turned and left.
After Wang Xuan left, Xiao Ming sent people to call Pang Yukun and Niu Zhen to the palace. One of them is in charge of government affairs, the other is in charge of the army. Now Chang'an is changing. It is necessary for him to tell them the news and discuss what to do next.
"If it's true, as your highness said, from now on, we should strengthen the training and equipment of the state troops in case of accidents. The nomination certificate is just a contract. It's hard to ensure that the crown prince will not do harm to your highness." Niu said in a loud voice.
"Your Highness, the governor is right. The death of King Ning is still in front of you. Your highness must not be careless. If you ask who the princes are most afraid of today, it's your highness. If the crown prince ascends the throne, he will take his highness as a big trouble. In my opinion, now we should not only strengthen the army, but also expand the recruitment of students to deal with the future changes. ”
after a pause, Pang Yukun reminded him again: "Your Highness, if the crown prince takes back his Highness's nobility and feudalism after he ascends the throne, I don't want to see the people of feudalism go back to the old days."
"The general does not want to see his soldiers bleed in vain in the past two years." Niu Zhen's eyes are very big. Xiao Ming seldom sees Niu Zhen's impulsive side.
"I understand what you mean. If we are at peace, we will not follow King Ning's footsteps if we deceive others too much." Xiao Ming said slowly.Pang Yukun nodded, and then said: "Your Highness, this is only a matter of the future. Now we want to make empress Zhao and the prince dare not do harm to the emperor. The lower official thinks that now we should let leiming send cavalry to kill the barbarian scouts outside Shanhai Pass, and then write to the court that the barbarians are making trouble outside Shanhai Pass, and then ask the emperor if he is all right. He gently drags the prince and empress Zhao along with the situation The heart takes care of the emperor. In this way, they must be afraid and dare not come here. "
"Yes, it's a wonderful way." Xiao Ming laughs. The ginger is old and spicy.
Niu Zhen laughs heartily, "after training for so many days, it's time for Youzhou army to go out of the pass and exercise their muscles and bones. At the end of the day, let leiming kill the barbarian scouts outside Shanhai Pass."
Pang Yukun looked at Niu Zhen, and then he said carefully: "Your Highness, at present, the state of Dayu is in a state of corruption, and the great chaos should be treated as a great rule. Besides, if you look around tonight, you can save Dayu from the crisis only if you have the strength to turn the tide. I think the crown prince is not the one to turn the tide."
Niu Zhen suddenly looked up at Pang Yukun. His eyes turned, and he suddenly realized something. He said, "Your Highness, I will only listen to your highness."
Xiao Ming gradually put away his smile when he heard that. What they said was clear enough. They wanted him to be emperor. They might not have had this idea before, but since the Qingzhou army took down the mountain customs, the feudal officials thought that they had some little nines in their hearts. Now Xiao Wenxuan is seriously ill, and they are more and more upset.
For him, he doesn't want to be an emperor. He just doesn't want to be an outsider. After all, no one likes him in Dayu. He doesn't want to be beaten by others.
