Chapter 286: Supervising the country



Chapter 286: Supervising the State

After Qin Wang Zhao Defang stepped forward and made a reasonable and well-founded argument that he would supervise the state and govern the country, with the "Golden Casket Alliance" as a legal basis, a wave of supportive voices immediately rang out in the Chuigong Hall. Minister of Revenue Luo Zhongxu and Minister of Works Li Jieke were of course in this camp of support.

Several ministers who disagreed and were unwilling to accept it could only express their opposition by keeping silent, but they could not find a legal basis to oppose it desperately.

Cheng Yu and Jia Yan looked at the unconscious emperor with heavy hearts, and sighed in their hearts with inexplicable grief: Your Majesty! You are really smart but your intelligence makes you stupid. The "Golden Casket Alliance" made you successful, and the "Golden Casket Alliance" also made you fail!

Concubine Li Xian's fingernails broke the flesh on the palm of her hand, and blood flowed out through the gaps between her fingers and dripped onto the floor. She felt depressed and sank to the bottom of the abyss, but she bit her lower lip tightly and dared not say a word.

Since ancient times, the victorious king defeated the bandits. Only the victor has the right to speak and the right to dominate the fate of the opponent. Fortunately, the emperor is only temporarily unconscious, and the King of Qin is only temporarily supervising the country and governing the country. There is still a chance to turn the tables!

Concubine Li Xian burst into tears and sadly suggested that the Chuigong Palace was not suitable for recuperation, and the emperor should be moved to her Shouning Palace for recuperation, and she would personally serve and take care of him.

That's right! The emperor must recuperate and receive treatment under the supervision of his own side. Cheng Yu, Jia Yan and others hurriedly agreed.

Qin Wang Zhao Defang did not object, and other important officials of the court had no objections.

The unconscious emperor was transferred to Shouning Palace. Several doctors were sent to diagnose and treat the emperor. A large number of eunuchs surrounded Shouning Palace to protect the safety of the seriously ill and unconscious emperor.

The overall situation was decided, and most of the court officials secretly breathed a sigh of relief. A few who were unwilling in their hearts secretly planned countermeasures, and on the surface they could only support and obey orders.

Qin Wang Zhao Defang immediately took over the post of supervising the state and issued several decrees in succession, mobilizing troops from all directions to ensure the stability of the border and the political situation in the court. Three thousand elite Moyun cavalry were also transferred to the capital to guard the imperial palace.

At this time, it was late at night, the palace gates were locked, and many court officials and several princes were also kept in the palace to prevent the news of the emperor's serious illness and coma from spreading and causing unrest in the court.

Outside the palace, several teams of powerful black shadows moved urgently in the night, and one by one, the imperial guards and gate guards were arrested according to the list.

The leader of the peerless masters who captured the South City Gate Guard Pang Xinlei was the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor who went to Penglai Fairy Island three days ago. The

Ghost Hand Poison Doctor smiled sinisterly, tied Pang Xinlei's hands behind his back, blocked his mouth with the smelly socks he took off and threw on the ground before going to bed, and then slapped his acupuncture points.

: "General Pang, you didn't expect it, did you? You have already become prisoners before we even got the emperor's secret order to take action against the King of Qin.

Hehe! This is called the early bird catches the worm, and the late bird gets the worm. The emperor used the "axe sound and candle shadow" to kill his own brother, and got rid of his nephew the King of Wei and his younger brother the King of Qi. However, he suffered retribution at the hands of my nephew the King of Qin Zhao Defang, who was taught by me personally.

Just think about it, and I, the ghost hand poison doctor, feel quite accomplished!"

Pang Xinlei, with his hands tied and his mouth blocked, struggled desperately with his hands and feet, shouting "wu wu" in his mouth, and his eyes were full of fear, regret and begging for his life.

Ghost Hand Poison Doctor picked up a shoe that Pang Xinlei had taken off from the ground, patted his bulging cheeks with the sole of the shoe, and teased mischievously: "General Pang, do you want to follow the emperor, die bravely, and get promoted and make a fortune on the road to the underworld?"

Pang Xinlei was so scared that his soul flew out of his body, his head shook like a wave drum, and tears flowed from his eyes in anxiety.

"Senior Ghost Hand, stop playing. Hurry up and escort him to the Dali Temple cell, so as to avoid more trouble at night." Shadow Guard Mo Cheng reminded with a smile in his heart.

: "You coward! You are a cowardly little official with a strong addiction. It's no fun to tease you." The ghost-handed poison doctor hit Pang Xinlei on the cheek with the sole of his shoe again, threw down his stinky shoes without interest, and walked out with his hands behind his back. ...

Concubine Li Xian finally found an opportunity to be alone with her son. She sent away her personal maid, lowered her voice, and said anxiously: "My son, the emperor is in bad condition. It is very likely...

Heng'er, now that Prince Qin Zhao Defang is in charge of government, the situation is extremely unfavorable to us. Mother has here the emperor's secret arrangement of generals to get rid of the prince of Qin. We must act quickly, lest he really sits on the throne and we lose the chance to turn the tables!"

The third prince Zhao Heng shook his head in despair: "Mother, the overall situation is decided now. We have lost the initiative long ago. There is no chance of a turnaround. We should just accept our fate!"

Concubine Li Xian was so angry that she pinched her son's arm fiercely!

She was furious but dared not raise her voice. She glared at her son, hating him for not fighting. "Are you scared? Wealth and honor are achieved through risk. Even if we have to fight to the death, we cannot end up at the mercy of others!"

Zhao Heng knelt on the ground, looked up at his mother whose eyes were red, and tried to persuade her, "Mother, who is the King of Qin? Since he dared to stand up and supervise the country, he must have made all the preparations.

My father was so jealous of him that he didn't dare to get rid of him easily. Let's How can we, mother and son, be the opponent of the King of Qin?

Mother, if the palace coup leads to bloodshed, the foundation of the Song Dynasty is shaken, and foreign enemies take the opportunity to invade, your son will become a sinner for all eternity.

Mother, wake up! According to the character of King Qin Zhao Defang, he will not kill all of us princes and grandsons who are related by blood. Isn't it good for your son to be a safe and wealthy prince and take your mother out of the palace to spend the rest of her life? "

Concubine Li Xian slapped her son on the head!

"You...you are a useless thing, you are not much better than your cowardly and incompetent elder brother. Are you so greedy and afraid of death that you just give up the throne like this?!"

The third prince was stunned for a moment, looked up at his mother and continued to persuade: "Mother, this Song Dynasty was originally conquered by my uncle Emperor Taizu. Father...Father was also uneasy when he got the throne, otherwise, where did the "Golden Casket Alliance" come from?

Now, the throne has returned to the lineage of Emperor Taizu, it can be regarded as the will of heaven, right?"

The third prince hesitated, but the meaning of his words was clearly expressed.

Concubine Li Xian's butt sank, and she leaned on the back of the chair to support her body. She also thought with a dreadful heart, could it be that the spirit of Emperor Taizu appeared? Otherwise, how could the emperor, who was in his prime, suddenly fall ill and fall into a coma? And what strange disease did he have that doctors were helpless to treat?
