"Go down and settle down!" At this point, Su Lingxue still didn't see a trace of sadness on Pei Mochen's face. I saw that he seemed to be ordering something completely ordinary.
Seeing this, Su Lingxue couldn't help but think that maybe the ending of the princess was what Pei Mochen wanted to see!
Naturally, the Jin family in Liuliyuan also received the news that the princess had been hanged.
In the chair at the top of the main room, Jin was sitting in it, but his face was very happy: "Second brother takes action, it is safe!"
Nowadays, who else in Prince Li's palace can be as noble as her?
How could Su, who came from a lowly merchant family, be compared with her?
The distance between her and the princess was just one step away. Thinking of this, Jin felt very proud. This Li Wangfu is her Jin family's world.
Therefore, in the following days, the Jin family acted like the mistress of Prince Li's palace, handling all the affairs in the palace. However, when Pei Mochen saw this, he did not say anything at all, as if he acquiesced.
When Jin saw this, he felt even more proud.
The servants in the mansion seemed to have sensed the trend in the mansion, and they all moved closer to the Jin family to curry favor. Some even called Jin family princess in order to win her favor.
After hearing this, Jin didn’t even stop him.
However, Su Lingxue in Yaoguang Courtyard was not affected at all.
Five days passed like this, so calm that it seemed as if the rebellion in the previous few days had never happened.
On the sixth day, news suddenly came from the palace that the emperor was seriously ill!
So Pei Mochen was called into the palace to attend to the illness.
Then that night, one after another imperial edicts came from the palace.
The fourth prince was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion for life.
The eldest prince, the third prince, the eighth prince, and the ninth prince were each granted the title of king, and rushed to the fiefdom two days later. From then on, they were not allowed to return to the capital without being summoned!
Only the sixth prince Pei Mochen and the second prince Pei Mochun were left in the capital. Because the emperor was seriously ill, these two took turns to attend to the illness.
One day later, the emperor handed over the military power in Beijing to Pei Mochen and Pei Mochun respectively. The troops stationed outside the city were handed over to Pei Mochen, and the imperial army protecting the city was handed over to Pei Mochun.
The other princes were all granted the title of king, but they rushed to their fiefdoms. Only these two stayed in the capital. It was obvious that the emperor wanted them to be neutral heirs from now on! But no one knows who will be established!
For a time, Pei Mochen and Pei Mochun turned out to be enemies!
However, Pei Mochen didn't think so in his heart, because he knew that his own ability could not compare with Pei Mochun. In his mind, the emperor naturally chose Pei Mochun. Handing over the troops outside the city to him is nothing more than a temporary expedient!
That night, it was Pei Mochun's turn to serve the emperor.Seeing Pei Mochen who was very haggard, he asked him to go back home and rest.
The emperor's order cannot be violated, so Pei Mochen left the palace and returned to the mansion no matter how unwilling he was.
But Pei Mochun over there secretly ordered the imperial army to guard every door after Pei Mochen left the palace. This time, they didn't even let go of the dog hole.
The emperor was lying on the bed very weak and haggard. He was suddenly awakened by a shaking. When he opened his eyes, he saw Pei Mochun who had come to attend to his illness.
"Chun'er is here! My father is very tired, let him rest for a while!" As he said this, the emperor seemed to be about to fall asleep again.
Pei Mochun, who was beside the bed, was shaking the emperor to prevent him from sleeping: "Father, you still have something to do. You can rest after you finish it!" As he said this, Pei Mochun said to the emperor over there. A little eunuch winked and saw the little eunuch walking over carefully carrying a tray.
When the emperor saw the blank imperial edict and pen on the tray, he asked in surprise: "Chun'er, what are you doing?"
Pei Mochun did not rush to answer, He forcibly helped the lying emperor to sit up, then turned around, took the tray, and placed it in front of the emperor: "Father, I know that I am much stronger than my sixth brother. I think your favorite candidate for the crown prince is I, so why not do it now? Just write down the imperial edict to establish the new emperor!" As he spoke, Pei Mochun picked up the writing brush and put it into the emperor's hand.
But the emperor let Pei Mochun open his hand like a puppet.
"Father, don't hesitate! The sixth brother is not in the palace at this time. The entire palace is now under the control of his son. Let alone sending letters to Pei Mochen, even if the letter is sent, he can't come in. "Yes!" Pei Mochun said quietly, looking very confident. He was not in a hurry. Seeing that the emperor didn't seem to react yet, he waited quietly.
After a long time, the emperor raised his head and looked at Pei Mochun in front of him with a pair of slightly cloudy eyes: "Are you so impatient?"
"My time as a father is running out, why don't you Wait a little longer?"
Then Pei Mochun, who was sitting next to the bed, laughed: "Wait?"
"My father left his sixth brother alone. In Shangjing, aren't we just going to fight to the death?"
"Then you are just like a fisherman, waiting for the final winner!"
< p> "But I don't want to have any more meaningless fights. With such an excellent opportunity, wouldn't it be easier for me to let you establish the new emperor directly?""Don't worry, as long as the sixth brother hands over the city I will treat him well!"
"Ahem..." Suddenly, the emperor coughed violently uncontrollably. It took him a long time to catch his breath, and then he heard the emperor ask: "What if I don't write it?" Then the emperor raised his head and looked at Pei Mochun in front of him.
"Father, I advise you to write it down!" Pei Mochun said without any concern: "I have long sinceI have prepared a handwriting imitator. I have been copying your handwriting for many days, and now I am very proficient! Even if my father doesn't write it, this edict will still be issued! "
"In that case, why bother forcing me again? "When the emperor heard this, he pushed aside the brush and the blank imperial edict.
"My son is just thinking about the love between father and son. I still hope in my heart that I can write from your hand to establish my son as the new emperor. The imperial edict! "Pei Mochun stared into the emperor's eyes and said.
Naturally, it is the best if it is written by the emperor himself!
This is the reason why the name is justified.
"However, If you really don't write, don't blame Erchen for being ruthless! Tomorrow morning, everyone in Beijing will receive news of your death! "Pei Mochun finally said calmly and calmly, as if he was talking about what to eat for dinner!
"You want to kill your father? ! "The emperor's expression became very cold.
"Father, don't you also choose the best candidate regardless of the lives of your sons? ”
“We are each other! "At the end, Pei Mochun smiled evilly at the stooped, gray-haired emperor in front of him.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
"Father Emperor, look! You are already so old, it’s time to retire. If you write this imperial edict, I can let you see your sixth brother and enjoy the happiness of family! End of life. "Pei Mochun leaned forward slightly and said seductively.
Looking at the somewhat crazy Pei Mochun in front of him, the emperor still didn't believe it, so he stubbornly threw the blank edict and pen in his hand out of bed: "I Don’t write! "
Seeing this, Pei Mochun's face turned livid. He stood up, stopped entangled with the emperor, and ordered coldly: "Bring the things here! "
Then the emperor saw another little eunuch coming out from behind the curtain, holding a small white porcelain bottle in his hand. Pei Mochun took the small porcelain bottle and poured out a small black pill from it.
p>
"Father, swallow this pill, and I guarantee that you will sleep peacefully without any pain! "As he spoke, Pei Mochun handed the pill to the emperor's mouth: "This is the greatest effort I can do to allow you to leave with dignity! "
Seeing the emperor in front of him stubbornly shut his mouth, Pei Mochun's face suddenly became extremely angry: "If you don't drink a toast, you will be punished with a drink! ”
“Come here, open his mouth. If I don’t believe it, he won’t be able to eat!” "
Pei Mochun looked at the old emperor in front of him fiercely.
But then, no one in the palace answered and no one came!
Only then did Pei Mochun realize that something was wrong! He stood up and walked toward the main hall with a sudden change in his expression, but what he met head-on was the imperial army who was supposed to be guarding the entrance of the palace. The man leading him was the general whom he relied on very much at that time. Shen Da.
I saw Shen Da approaching Pei Mo step by step, wearing armor and holding a spear.Chun.
"Your Highness, let's just surrender!" Shen Da said righteously.
Seeing this situation, Pei Mochun knew that he had fallen into a trap, and he was forced to retreat step by step.
At this time, the emperor's violent coughing sound came again. Pei Mochun seemed to suddenly think of something, turned around and ran towards the bed. He took out a luxurious dagger from his body and placed it directly under the neck of the hunched emperor.
"If you move forward, I will kill him!" As he said that, Pei Mochun made a slight slash with the dagger in his hand, and bright blood suddenly flowed out from the emperor's neck.
Seeing this, Shen Da over there stopped in fear. But before he could persuade him, he saw the emperor looking very weak on the bed. Suddenly there was a dagger with a cold light in his left hand, and it stabbed directly at Pei Mochun's left back. The dagger seemed to have passed through Pei Mochun's body. Between the ribs, it stabbed directly into his heart.
Pei Mochun slowly turned his head and looked at the still weak emperor in shock: "Father..." Then he fell straight down on the emperor's shoulders, Pei Mochun's eyes soon closed.
But the weak emperor did not move at all. He just let Pei Mochun lean on him. His cloudy eyes were staring ahead, and his face was expressionless. I don't know what he was thinking at this time. ,
After a long time, the emperor said without emotion: "The funeral will be carried out according to the prince's arrangements!"
"Yes!" Shen Da over there responded politely.
After Pei Mochun's body was removed, the emperor coughed violently again. At this time, Shi Jin hurriedly walked in from outside the palace, holding a bowl of soup in his hand: "Your Majesty, it's time. Take the medicine!" Shi Jin came to the bedside and carefully handed the bowl over, but the emperor actually pushed the bowl away.
"I won't eat anymore, I'm already old! This disease can't be stopped!" As he spoke, the emperor's eyes passed over the blank imperial edict on the ground.
Shi Jin noticed the emperor's gaze, so he put down the decoction, walked over, picked up the blank imperial edict, and handed it to the emperor.
The emperor took it and coughed and said, "Bring me a pen!"
After hearing this, Shi Jin hurriedly walked to the study over there and quickly took the pen and inkstone. Coming over, he first placed the tray next to him on the emperor's lap, then spread the imperial edict on it, and finally handed over the pen. He also held an inkstone in his hand, waiting for the emperor to dip in ink at any time.
After seeing the emperor write one sentence, he stopped to rest. A quarter of an hour later, the emperor finally wrote down the imperial edict. Naturally, Shi Jin saw the content of the edict, but his expression did not change at all.
"Put the imperial edict away!" the emperor ordered as he put the pen back on the inkstone.
So Shi Jin put down his pen and inkstone and rolled up the imperial edict that had been dried. As soon as he rolled it up, the emperor on the bed suddenly coughed violently again, and finally vomited into a pool of blood on the quilt. .
"Your Majesty!" Shi Jin was so shocked that he quickly stepped forward to check.
The emperor's dry lips were covered with bright blood. Suddenly, the emperor leaned back heavily and slowly closed his eyes!
"Your Majesty!" Shi Jin called loudly.
Immediately, Shenda from outside the palace rushed in quickly, and Shi Jin shouted loudly:
"The emperor has died!"
Late at night , away from the palace, in Yaoguang courtyard.
Pei Mochen, who had just laid down, suddenly heard the bell from the palace. It struck nine times. Nine times was the death of the emperor!
After hearing this, Pei Mochen hurriedly put on his clothes and hurried out. Before he could get out of the gate of Yaoguang Yuan, he saw Shi Jin and two eunuchs hurried away with the imperial edict in their hands. Come in.
Su Lingxue was awakened when Pei Mochen stood up. Seeing this, she hurriedly put on her coat and came to the courtyard to receive the order.
After Shi Jin finished announcing the imperial edict, Pei Mochen took it and handed it to Su Lingxue behind him: "Eunuch, please bring me into the palace!"
Shi Jin didn't care when he heard this. Nodding in agreement without hesitation, when Su Lingxue saw this, she stepped forward to speak and followed her into the palace. Unexpectedly, Pei Mochen seemed to know what she was thinking, and raised his hand to stop Su Lingxue:
"Snow Son, you are pregnant, so you should rest well tonight!" After saying that, Pei Mochen turned around and hurriedly followed Shi Jin out of Yaoguang Courtyard.
Seeing this, Su Lingxue walked back to the bedroom holding the imperial edict in her hand. She sat by the bed and opened the imperial edict.
It not only contains the content of establishing a new emperor, but also grants marriage!
Yun Jinwei, the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Yun, was given the title of Pei Mochen's queen.
Lu Xinya and Cao Huayue, the legitimate daughters of Master Cheng Lu and Master Cao, were given as concubines of Pei Mochen!
Su Lingxue didn’t know about the others, but she had heard about the Prime Minister, Mr. Yun. She once heard Pei Mochen mention that many civil servants in the court were favored by Mr. Yun!
Looking at the emperor's marriage grant, Su Lingxue sighed in her heart, the emperor was closely connecting Pei Mochen's harem with the previous dynasty. With the help of these adults and the support of the Jin family, a family of military generals, there is no need to worry about Pei Mochen losing his foothold in the court!
The next few days will be the emperor's funeral.
After handling the emperor's funeral, the ministers in the court persuaded Pei Mochen to ascend the throne immediately. Originally, Pei Mochen wanted to postpone it for a period of time due to the national funeral, but the ministers seemed very anxious and said that he would not give up the throne. There’s already a pile of them, so hurry up and review them! A country cannot live without a king for a day, etc.
In the end, Pei Mochen agreed, so on an auspicious day, the enthronement ceremony was held, and the country's name was changed to Qingyuan.
