Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 49 Conspiracy
Although he has not yet ascended to the throne, the series of receptions by His Majesty made the people of the imperial capital applaud unceasingly, and at the same time made many people feel uneasy or even on pins and needles, such as the eldest prince Situ Tai, the third prince Situ Jun, and the seventh prince Situ Yuan is one of them. They are all secretly regretting why they returned to the imperial capital, especially when they forcibly returned to the imperial capital to recuperate without the approval of their father. It's time to recuperate in the imperial capital.
It turned out that those ministers who had already had some intentions suddenly fell ill like a sudden illness, and they were never seen again. Except for being summoned by the father, almost no one dared to go out casually, and they all stayed in their respective places. Your Majesty, at this time, if you stand on the wrong team, it may bring disaster, so you have to be cautious.
From the head of the Imperial Guard to the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Habayashi Army to the commander of the Imperial Gendarmerie, from the Minister of the Interior to the head of the Imperial Police Headquarters to the head of the Imperial Police, from the Minister of Military Affairs to the Minister of Finance and several of his brothers, His Majesty the Emperor met with more than a dozen important ministers and princes in a row for three consecutive days, but he did not summon his sons in Beijing. The original situation seemed to be chaotic again, and the rumor that His Majesty the Emperor would soon announce the position of the crown prince was preparing for the next crown prince quickly spread throughout the upper class of the imperial capital.
Perhaps stimulated by the news of His Majesty's recovery, the City Guard Corps and the First Corps of the Northern Military Region have jointly launched an attack on the Taiping Army in Qinghe Mansion. The two sides continued to fight fiercely in the south and east of Qinghe Mansion; The Sixth Army Corps and the naval forces of the Southern Military Region of the Empire attacked an important material storage place of the Machi Khans, and had a head-on conflict with the Machi Khan army in charge of the defense. Both sides suffered casualties; Conflicted with the Japanese fleet near Kamchatka Island and the Ryukyu Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, destroying several Japanese fleet ships. For a while, the empire was like a giant bear awakened from hibernation, stretching out its claws from time to time, causing waves of waves.
In Situ Tai's private house on Shengli Avenue, although it was already dark, the study room was brightly lit with candles. Standing a few meters outside the room, the guards were swimming around. The half-human tall mastiff let out a "huhu" gasp in its throat, and its dark pupils looked even more eerie in the dark night. Even a figure appeared on the second floor opposite, quietly observing the surroundings, passing by from time to time The guards exchanged messages.
With a pale and swollen face, Situ Tai sat back on the big chair in the study, staring blankly at the roof in a daze. The senior think tank who had returned from the Dorton Kingdom sat beside him, of course, Leng Qian. The wise and calculating elder also felt extremely troublesome for a while. His Majesty's sudden health transfer made his master suddenly fall into an embarrassing and dangerous situation. Of course, there are several other princes who have the same fate as his master. Presumably they are also now Like his own master, he was at a loss for what to do about it.
The joy brought by the Dorton Kingdom's agreement to continue the marriage could not dilute Situ Tai's fear and worry in the slightest. Even his own life may not be guaranteed. Marriage is still useful. Above Yanyun, but now...!
Situ Tai has never regretted his stupid decision to return to Beijing as much as he does now. Why did he have to go to this imperial capital to get involved? It would be a pleasant and wonderful thing to stay in Beiyuan and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, but now it is self-defeating. The imperial capital is like a huge cage that locks itself firmly here, unable to move even a single step. Thinking of this, Situ Tai wished he could slap himself twice.
What now? Situ Tai looked at Leng Qian who had been silently thinking for help, and only hoped that he, a think tank, could point out a way out for him.
"Old Leng, what should we do in today's situation?" At this time, Situ Tai had already ignored many things, and took a deep breath to calm down his restless mood.
"Well, Your Highness, I'm afraid we can only sit and wait. Your Majesty has summoned the City Guard Corps and the Departments of the General Administration of Internal Affairs. The number of sentries outside our place has increased several times. Your Majesty has personally issued a foot ban. Your highnesses have left the imperial capital, this is clearly a house arrest for your highnesses, if you leave now, I'm afraid that you will be killed immediately." The skinny old man said quietly.
"Oh? A tiger's poison doesn't eat its offspring, how could the emperor be so cruel?" Situ Tai didn't seem to believe it.
"Your Highness, you have underestimated His Majesty. When His Majesty was young, killing more than ten people in the court was a major event that caused a sensation in the empire. Everyone knows that at a critical moment involving the survival of the empire, it is for the future of the empire. I think Your Majesty will not show any kindness or hesitation." The old man shook his head and smiled wryly, his master thought his father too simply, and His Majesty is old but not confused when it comes to such matters involving tens of millions of lives. It will definitely exert its strength with the momentum of thunder.
Situ Tai shuddered, and said hesitantly, "In Leng Lao's opinion, don't I just sit here and wait for death?"
"Well, as long as there is no change in His Highness, after His Majesty has prepared everything for the crown prince to ascend the throne during this period, maybe His Highness can live a life of peace and happiness as a prince. " Leng Qian's flat voice pierced Situ Tai, who was still a little hesitant, like a red-hot needle.
"The crown prince?" Situ Tai smiled coldly, pressing his thick hands together, his knuckles crackling harshly, "It seems that my father never intended to give me even one chance. In any case, the position will not fall on my head?"
"Judging from the current situation, it is true. His Majesty the Ninth Highness should be His Majesty's choice. You, the Third Highness, and the Seventh Highness have all failed in this competition." Leng Qian's voice without any emotion It made the furious Situ Tai unable to suppress his anger.
"Old Leng is so sure?" Mr. Situ Tai was still a little bit unwilling.
"Your Highness, you don't have to have any fantasies anymore. Just look at who Lu Wenfu and Tian Yi came out of the palace to find, and you will know the result. These two old guys were very good when His Majesty was seriously ill. Come on, anyone who wants to be a lobbyist will be stumped, but now he takes the initiative to go to His Highness the Ninth Prince? What does this mean? A fool can see it." Leng Qian shook his head again. In this kind of thing, it is inevitable that he will lose his normal ability to judge. He can understand his master's despair and depression.
"Why? Why? Is Lao Jiu good at flattering and flattering? Can he win the favor of more ladies because of his handsome appearance? Or is his mother who still has a charming charm more attractive to him?" Situ Tai could no longer control his emotions. He obviously didn't refer to Situ Lang after the last sentence. He no longer wanted to address him with respectful titles. I tell you, it’s not that easy! With the backing of the Dorton Kingdom, as long as I want, my army can crush those Taiping people to pieces at any time and reunify the empire. Can’t he see it? "
Faced with his master's anger venting, Leng Qian could only keep silent, quietly waiting for his master's recovery. He also knew that his master had made many preparations over the years, but facing such a cruel reality , His Majesty the Emperor didn't give him a chance, of course he couldn't stand it. When he calmed down, it was time to discuss business.
After panting for a while, Situ Tai finally calmed down. He knew that venting alone would not solve the problem~IndoMTL.com~ The severe situation now does not allow him to delay any longer, so he can discuss how to deal with it It is imperative to put soldiers into practice immediately.
"Old Leng, what should we do now? I don't want to wait to die like this!" Staring at the other party's indifferent face, Situ Tai obviously made up his mind.
"Since Your Highness is unwilling to wait so long, the only option is to take a risk." Even Leng Qian, who is used to plotting and plotting and seeing people killing people, still couldn't help it when he said this There was a pause.
"Is that the only way?" Situ Tai's breathing became rapid again, and even beads of sweat leaked from his forehead.
"Not only can this be the case, but it must be done quickly. Your Majesty is already making various preparations for His Highness the Ninth Prince. Once these preparations come to an end, I'm afraid we won't have any chance." Leng Qian said decisively.
"But I can't get away and go back to Yanyun. Even if I can take a chance, what can I do if I am in danger in the imperial capital?" Situ Tai asked a little puzzled.
"It's a risky gamble, but His Highness has to stay in the imperial capital. His Majesty believes that he can protect His Highness Ninth Prince to ascend the throne, so he certainly didn't prepare a will. As long as His Majesty dies suddenly, it will depend on how effective everything His Majesty has done before. Put a question mark. And even if there is a will, who can guarantee the authenticity of the will at that time? Who can control the initiative, that is decisive. Besides, the Ninth Prince may not have the prestige to control the situation. They are all His Majesty's direct princes, who dares to say that they have no right to inherit? Therefore, everything has to be decided by strength!" The old man's dark words made Situ Tai shudder uncontrollably and at the same time feel extraordinarily comfortable. That's right, everything has to be decided by strength, and those ministers who are facing Qin Muchu will only choose the strong when they have no choice.
