Chapter 318 I Won’t Let You Down
The drama in the palace came unexpectedly, leaving everyone unprepared.
Changchun Palace was sealed, Prince Xuan and his wife were banned, the emperor fell ill, and Her Royal Highness the Princess was ordered to act as regent... A series of things seemed to happen in just a moment. When the ministers returned to the palace, they calmed down, and things happened It's over.
After the emperor woke up from poisoning, he hurriedly summoned several royal family members, cabinet ministers and six ministers of King Rong, and made the decisions one by one with the thunderous force of his weak body. The sudden change of the emperor's poisoning was frightening, and he was completely frightened. There was no intention to oppose the eldest princess' regency move.
At this moment, they wished that the emperor had forgotten them, but they never dared to seek presence in front of the emperor at this juncture. They were afraid that they would be implicated in the "regicide" party. If they were given a crime at will, they would be easily confiscated and exterminated. , or exiled for three thousand miles.
Therefore, Chu Qinghuang's takeover of the regent power went particularly smoothly.
It's just that the emperor's decision was too sudden. Even if Chu Qinghuang was decisive, he didn't expect this at all, so the busyness in the next few days was almost foreseeable.
"Eunuch Chen." Chu Qinghuang turned around and ordered, "My father is ill. Please take good care of him these two days. I will arrange for two people to come over. All meals and tea presented to my father must be tested for poison by a dedicated person." , don’t be careless.”
Chen Hai respectfully accepted the order: "Your Highness, Princess, don't worry, I will be extremely cautious."
"I will send people to keep an eye on the imperial dining room and the tea room, and I will also order people to pay special attention to all the palace servants who serve my father." Chu Qinghuang ordered coldly, "You can go and warn anyone later. If a person dares to do something he shouldn’t do at this time, I will definitely make him regret coming into this world.”
"Yes, I will definitely do it."
Chu Qinghuang arranged everything that needed to be arranged one by one, but when she turned around, she found that the emperor was looking at her seriously, with an expression that couldn't help but ask, "Father, is there anything you need to add?"
"Qinghuang." The emperor said sincerely, "I am ill. This is your chance. You can turn a blind eye."
Chu Qinghuang is such a smart person, he immediately understood the meaning of this sentence.
There was nothing sensational, nor did she pretend to be filial. She just said lightly: "My father is the only person in the Xiqi royal family who treats my son well. My son will not let you feel cold."
The emperor was speechless for a moment, feeling both sad and moved at the same time.
I was moved that Qinghuang was indeed his caring little cotton-padded jacket, and his love for her was not in vain. What was sad was that Qinghuang's life had not been easy these years.
"Father, don't worry." Chu Qinghuang didn't mind touching him a little more, "In addition to allowing you to enjoy your old age, I will also make Xiqi better and better. You will definitely see Xiqi become strong in your lifetime. Maybe Erchen can expand the territory of Xi Qi... Of course, Erchen is a peace-loving person, and it's hard to say whether the territory will be expanded or not, so don't have high hopes. "
The emperor sighed deeply: "Conquering the world is not what I want to see, so I really don't have any ideas in this regard. You can make the treasury more abundant, the people's lives better, the army stronger, and there are no foreign enemies to invade. You don't have to Looking at the faces of other powerful countries... I am satisfied."
Chu Qinghuang promised him: "My son will do it."
After the conversation ended, Chu Qinghuang resigned and left.
On the way out of Yuqian Palace, Chu Qinghuang asked lightly: "Have you gone to Changchun Palace to check?"
"Fu Ying has found out the news." Fu Cang replied, "The queen is sending bird's nest tonight because she wants to test the emperor's mouth for the last time. She has no other thoughts. There is no poison in the bird's nest porridge tonight, but the queen already has a clue. The emperor's plan to poison is chronic and has hallucinogenic effects. It will not happen all at once. If there are no obstacles to the plan, it will be completed before the enthronement ceremony. "
Being so unaware of the situation, the emperor would not suddenly die of a seizure, but would personally change the plan to establish a heir apparent, and no one would even notice the abnormality - of course, this was just the queen's wishful thinking.
Chu Qinghuang knew in her heart that the plan used by the Queen was actually the most commonly used method in the harem over the years. The only difference was that some people could succeed and others could never recover.
She frowned and thought for a moment, and then she suddenly spoke: "The book "Six Tao" talks about many things. In addition to military strategies, it also includes the emperor's use of people, checks and balances of power, intrigues, conspiracy, and the villain. , the cultivation of temperament and conduct as a king and general...all aspects are included. You may find it difficult to understand it at first, but be sure not to be impatient and not hesitate to ask. "
Fu Cang lowered his head and said, "Please keep this in mind."
"Go back tonight, and I will tell you what you need to pay attention to in the future." Chu Qinghuang turned her head, raised her hand and pinched his face, "You can only become a master by enduring hardships. I believe in you It will get better and better.”
