Chapter 47: Undercurrents
Witnessed by the important ministers in the court, Empress Dowager Cui officially took over the power of supervising the country, sat in the original position of Deng Sheng in Qianyang Palace, and said: "Cai Xiang, the king is unconscious now, and there will be panic inside and outside the court. And some people with different intentions may also jump out, what do you think we should do now?"

Cai Fengdao: "Returning to the Queen Mother, my top priority now should be to stabilize the situation in Wancheng first, and it must not get worse. As long as General Chang, General Yue, and General Yang lead their troops back to the court, the overall situation will be settled. With the hearts of civil and military officials, I request the Empress Dowager to hold a court meeting tomorrow, to tell the public about the matter of the Empress Dowager's supervision of the country, and to inform all the officials that the king is fine, but needs to rest, and will meet with the courtiers in a few days."

Empress Dowager Cui nodded repeatedly after hearing this, she had no idea at this time, so she could only listen to Cai Feng's words and do it.

"Queen Dowager, Prime Minister Cai, I have something to say!" Cui Hao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, said at this time.

"Cui Shangshu has something to say, just say it." Cui Hao is the nephew of Empress Dowager Cui, and Empress Dowager Cui has a natural trust in him, so she also wants to hear Cui Hao's opinion.

Cui Haodao: "Back to the Empress Dowager, I think that the matter of General Chang, General Yue, and General Yang's return to the court must not be revealed at the court meeting tomorrow. I think that the king made such an arrangement before he fell into a coma. Participate, and it is very likely that they are generals in the court, so General Chang, General Yue, and General Yang are called to lead troops back to the court. Now the three generals are still far away in the station. If the news gets out, people may think that the king's situation is not optimistic. This is why the three generals need to return to the court to escort them. At the same time, the three generals are well-known and have a lot of troops. Once they return to the court, they will definitely mess up the plan of the mastermind behind the scenes. , I'm afraid he will jump over the wall in a hurry."

When everyone heard it, they thought it was true, right? Originally, there was no news from Deng Sheng's side, and the officials were already talking about it. At this time, I will tell everyone that Deng Sheng's generals who hold heavy troops will soon lead The soldiers returned to the court, isn't this telling everyone that Deng Sheng might die?And who are Chang Yuchun, Yang Yanzhao, and Yue Fei?They are all veteran generals with illustrious military exploits. Once they come back, the mastermind behind the scenes may not be able to make any troubles. In order to turn passivity into initiative, they will definitely strike first. As long as Deng Sheng dies, I am afraid that Deng Sheng The country can be turned upside down.

"Empress Dowager, I think what Cui Shangshu said is very true. I will keep my mouth shut about the return of the three generals until the three generals return." Fan Zhongyan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, agreed.

On the second day, a court meeting was held under the auspices of Empress Dowager Cui, and Deng Sheng's will was read out to the officials, and the officials were informed that Deng Sheng was fine at this time, but he needed to rest and was not suitable to visit.

Although all the ministers were skeptical, Empress Dowager Cui received the support of Cai Feng and the six ministers, so that there was no disturbance in the court meeting.

After going to court, Fang Hanchen came to the same compound last time and saw the young man.

Seeing Fang Hanchen's arrival, the young man asked anxiously, "General Fang, how is the situation now? Is that man dead?"

Fang Hanchen shook his head and said: "He probably hasn't died yet, but the specific situation is not very clear. Today's court meeting was presided over by Empress Dowager Cui and Cai Feng. After the man returned to the palace, he ordered Empress Dowager Cui to supervise the country. Shangshu assisted, and at the same time, a part of the Yulin Army was assigned to the young generals Xue Rengui, Li Siye, and Gao Shun to guard the palace. Even I couldn't mobilize it. Hou Ye, do you think that person has noticed something? ?”

The young man frowned, thoughtfully, and said: "Probably not, but since Empress Dowager Cui has come out, I think the situation of that person is not optimistic. Now you secretly send someone to spread rumors, saying that the person is actually dead. It’s just that Empress Dowager Cui conspired with Cai Feng and the six ministers in order to seize power, and this matter must be stirred up, and it’s best to let the officials force the palace and force that person out.”

"I understand. Don't worry, Lord Hou. I will arrange someone to handle this matter." Fang Hanchen nodded and said.

"Now is the critical moment. The Habayashi Army under your command must be firmly under control. Once the news of that person's death spreads, we will act immediately." The young man said fiercely.

On that day, the whole Wancheng was rumored that Deng Sheng was assassinated and died. In order to seize power, the Empress Dowager Cui conspired with Prime Minister Cai Feng and the six ministers. The royal family and ministers questioned Queen Mother Cui in the court hall, and made it clear that they wanted to see Deng Sheng, which made Queen Mother Cui a little at a loss. Fortunately, Cai Feng, the current prime minister, still had great prestige, so he managed to stabilize the situation.

Five days later, in Qianyang Palace, Queen Cai Yan sat beside Deng Sheng wiping tears, held Deng Sheng's hand, looked at Deng Sheng's pale face, and murmured: "Your Majesty, when will you be able to do so?" Wake up, I miss you so much."

"The Empress Dowager is here!" This time, Empress Dowager Cui came in from the door, Cai Yan hurriedly stood up and saluted, "The concubine has seen the empress mother!"

Empress Dowager Cui nodded expressionlessly and said, "How is Your Majesty doing today? Is there any improvement?"

Cai Yan shook his head, and said: "It's still the same, there is no improvement at all, Queen Mother, do you think the king will?"

"Nonsense, the king is so blessed, how can something happen?" Empress Dowager Cui knew what Cai Yan meant, so she angrily scolded.

"The concubine is guilty, please forgive me!" Hearing Queen Cui's reprimand, Cai Yan quickly fell to his knees and pleaded guilty.

Seeing Cai Yan's pale face and red eyes, Empress Dowager Cui couldn't bear it, so she helped Cai Yan up and said, "Queen, you are still young, and you don't understand some things. The Ai family will not blame you, but the next time you say these words It is absolutely impossible to say that the king is the only one we can rely on, so we must protect the king and take good care of the king."

"The concubine knows, please rest assured, the queen mother, the concubine must be careful in speaking." Cai Yan replied.

"Uh, water!" At this moment, Deng Sheng, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes.

When Queen Mother Cui and Cai Yan heard this, they turned their heads immediately, only to see Deng Sheng struggling to support himself, Empress Dowager Cui and Cai Yan were pleasantly surprised, walked quickly to Deng Sheng's bed, and helped Deng Sheng up.

"My lord, you finally woke up. You scared the queen mother to death." The queen mother Cui, who was very strong in front of outsiders, was like a child at this time, holding Deng Sheng and crying bitterly. These days, the pressure she has endured It was so big that it almost couldn't support it.

Deng Sheng patted Empress Dowager Cui on the back with a smile, and comforted him: "It's my minister who is not filial. The empress is worried. Now my minister is fine. Even if the sky falls in the future, there will be my minister to support the mother. Okay, Queen Mother, son is hungry, is there anything to eat?"

"Oh, the prince is hungry? The queen mother will ask the imperial dining room to arrange meals." After finishing speaking, he turned and ordered the maid who accompanied him to go to make arrangements.

Deng Sheng looked at Cai Yan in front of him, this little girl must have been frightened for the past two days, her eyes were red, she probably didn't sleep well these days, and she looked very haggard, Deng Sheng quickly comforted her.

After Deng Sheng finished his meal, he asked Empress Dowager Cui: "Mother, my son has been in a coma for the past few days, is there any major event in the court?"

Empress Dowager Cui wiped Deng Sheng's mouth with a handkerchief, and said: "No major incidents have happened in the court these days, and the queen mother doesn't understand government affairs, so she simply handed everything over to Cai Xiang and the six ministers. I didn’t bother to ask, the specifics, I still have to invite the adults to know.”

Deng Sheng nodded. He knew Empress Dowager Cui very well. He knew that Empress Dowager Cui was a woman without scheming and wrists. Queen Mother.

"Then please trouble your mother to invite Cai Xiang and the six ministers into the palace in your name, and at the same time invite Xue Rengui, Li Siye, Gao Shun, Zhang Bin, Su Hong, and Yao Guangxiao." The news that I woke up invited these people into the palace in the name of Empress Dowager Cui.

Although Empress Dowager Cui was also very surprised why Deng Sheng invited the ministers of the court to enter the palace in her name, she didn't ask too much. She didn't understand what Deng Sheng was going to do. Just do what he wants.
