Chapter 266 The Last Pusher
Everyone rushed to the Yangxin Palace in a hurry.
Just now, Zhao Yuanye was in charge of the situation in the imperial study. If he left Emperor Sheng in the inner hall, his ears would be fine and he would be exposed if he was heard.
Therefore, the Crown Princess and the imperial doctors had already sent Emperor Sheng to the Yangxin Palace, and she returned to the imperial study alone.
She was originally going to meet all the ministers in person, but Shen Jiasui's words just now woke her up.
"Meet a wise leader."
As long as the civil and military officials in the court have loyalty and righteousness in their hearts, what they want is not a wise leader?
Although Ye'er is young, he is already very smart and no longer needs to hide behind her and Lord Jiang all the time.
If all the important ministers today want to persuade their father to appoint a crown prince immediately, then she hopes that Ye'er is not the last choice out of helplessness, but the first choice that everyone is willing to choose!
In this way, they will do their best to assist Ye'er, and when Ye'er has grown up, all the civil and military officials in the court will be convinced!
Seeing everyone leaving in a hurry, Nanny Zhu couldn't hide her worry and whispered:
"Your Highness, are you just going to let His Highness go alone? After all, His Highness is still young..."
The Crown Princess's gaze fell faintly on Prince Rong who was standing in the front, and she shook her head at Nanny Zhu.
"Yer is not alone, the helper... has already gone."
I hope that just as Mrs. Jiang said, Uncle Rong is the one who can legitimately push Ye'er to the position of crown prince!
.......
The thick aroma of medicine filled the air in the Yangxin Palace, mixed with the smell of sweat from everyone running around, exuding a suffocating feeling.
All the ministers knelt on the ground around the dragon couch, all holding their breath in silence. In the silence, the only sound that could be heard was the "uh uh" that Emperor Sheng uttered with difficulty.
Everyone lowered their eyes, but couldn't help but glance at the couch secretly, with mixed feelings in their hearts, unable to hide their worries.
Just now, His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson said that the emperor was suffering from a stroke and amputation. They originally thought that the most serious symptom was limited mobility, but now they see that it is clearly "wind rash"!
The ruler of a country is the foundation of the country. With His Majesty in this state, I'm afraid he will not be able to govern the country no matter what.
this......
When Prince Rong saw Emperor Sheng lying on the couch, a look of daze appeared on his face.
The last time the brothers met was at Zhoushan. In order to protect Prince Rong's mansion, Zhang'er volunteered to guard the tomb.
In just half a year, the emperor's brother, who was so aggressive and domineering behind the imperial desk, seemed to have all his muscles and bones sucked out, and collapsed on the couch so limply and powerlessly.
Prince Rong felt ironic and aroused a sense of inexplicable sadness. He spoke slowly:
"Brother Emperor, I am here to see you."
Emperor Sheng half opened his eyes, his gaze was cloudy and dim. The stroke was too much of a blow to him.
Just when he was in a daze, a familiar and extremely fearful figure suddenly came into his sight.
Emperor Sheng was stunned for only a moment, and in an instant, his eyes widened in shock and anger!
Who was it, who summoned my third brother into the palace!
Back then, he secretly planned and schemed to snatch the throne from his third brother.
In recent years, he has been kept under a close watch, always on guard against suppression.
Who would have thought that at this moment, when he was most helpless, the person who hated him so much would appear before him so openly!
The third brother is here to harm him! He wants to take the throne back! He's here for revenge!
Emperor Sheng's lips trembled violently and a "uh uh" sound came from his throat. He stared at Prince Rong with shock, anger and vigilance.
"Grandpa Emperor!"
At this moment, Zhao Yuanye rushed forward, with tears in his eyes, and tightly grabbed Emperor Sheng's arm.
The moment Emperor Sheng saw Zhao Yuanye, a ray of hope instantly ignited in his eyes. He stared at Zhao Yuanye closely, his throat rolling with difficulty:
“Uh uh…Ye uh…”
Emperor Sheng was shouting frantically in his heart, extremely anxious!
The throne must not fall to others, especially my third brother. Now I only have Ye'er... Ye'er...
He tried desperately to grab the corner of Zhao Yuanye's clothes, even if it was just a light touch, so that the important officials in the palace would know his intention. He wanted to make Ye'er the crown prince!
At this moment, feeling so powerless, Emperor Sheng finally couldn't suppress the regret in his heart.
Whether it is the second brother or Ye'er, or even the third brother, it is better than the throne that he worked so hard to get back then being stolen by his third brother!
If...if Ji'er was still here, when the country was stable, he would have no worries...
Prince Rong lowered his eyes and saw Emperor Sheng's expression changing several times. He couldn't help but curled the corners of his mouth in sarcasm.
The regret between my brother's brows was almost overflowing.
So what if you have calculated everything?
It's just a waste of time and it will cost your life!
After all, the smartest person is the one who summoned him into the palace today.
As soon as he appeared, even if the emperor had thousands of speculations and doubts about Ye'er before, they all disappeared without a trace at this moment.
In fact, he posed no threat to the throne.
The friction and suppression over the past twenty years have worn away his edge.
Moreover, today, even if he wanted the throne, the ministers behind him would not agree.
After all, Shen Zhengsheng, Lu Yongzhu and others were also there, and they naturally supported Ye'er.
Besides, before this, Zhou Shanxing had already cooperated with Jiang Xun and the girl from the Shen family.
They knew in their hearts that all he wanted was for Zhang'er to come back and for the whole family to be reunited.
Only the emperor's elder brother is extremely suspicious and worried about gains and losses. He has taken great pains to snatch the throne, and he is determined to hold on to it tightly in his hands even if he collapses on the couch!
Thinking of this, a sharp light flashed in Prince Rong's eyes, and he suddenly frowned and said:
"My brother is in poor health now. I am deeply saddened to see this, but the country cannot be without a leader for a day. If this continues, I am afraid that the foundation of the country will be shaken..."
Such a meaningful remark made Emperor Sheng's eyes widen instantly. Due to excessive excitement, the muscles around his eye sockets even twitched slightly.
wild ambition!
The third brother finally revealed his evil intentions!
"Ugh uh uh!! Ugh!"
Emperor Sheng made a rapid and vague sound, and the whites of his eyes were covered with crisscrossing bloodshot.
At this time, Prince Rong leaned forward and said in a gentle voice: "It seems that my words have touched your heart. Your Majesty is very excited. This means that he agrees with my words."
When Emperor Sheng saw how Prince Rong hypocritically misinterpreted his meaning, he became so angry that his eyes bulged out exaggeratedly and he seemed like a completely different person.
Prince Rong finally felt refreshed.
No matter how powerful you once were, you are now nothing more than a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others!
And the saddest thing is, among all the people in the palace, the relatives are alienated and the ministers are disloyal. Except for a eunuch, his royal brother can no longer get any true love from anyone!
Seeing that Emperor Sheng's face was almost purple due to his excitement, Prince Rong glanced at him lightly, then turned to the important minister in front of him and said seriously:
"Everyone, in my opinion, the most urgent task is to appoint a crown prince as soon as possible to calm the people."
As soon as these words were spoken, the court officials in the hall nodded one after another, but each of them had his own thoughts. As they exchanged glances, they slowly focused on Zhao Yuanye in front of the couch.
Prince Rong turned around along with everyone else, his eyes filled with emotion that he could not hide.
I still remember that more than half a year ago, in Prince Rong’s mansion, Miss Shen came at Huaizhen’s invitation and stood in the study and talked.
At that time, the palace was in turmoil because of Zhang'er's misstep. The girl from the Shen family asked him:
"Prince Rong, are you willing to join this 'big bet'?"
In order to protect Zhang'er's life and save the palace, he finally compromised and agreed.
But I didn't expect that in just half a year, I would have found such a bright and smooth path.
Next, he, the person who "placed the bet", will be the final pusher!
Prince Rong slowly turned around and looked directly at Emperor Sheng, and suddenly brought up the past: "My Lords... you must still be thinking of Crown Prince Xianhuai, right?"
