Chapter 49: Leading the snake out of its hole
Deng Sheng was silent for a while, and felt that what Cui Hao and others said was very reasonable. If Deng Ju and Fang Hanchen hadn't conspired in this matter, then so many coincidences could not be explained, so he said: "If this is the case, then you will Let the widow stare at Fang Hanchen and Deng Ju, but remember not to scare the snake, and the news of the widow's waking up must be kept secret for the time being, not only that, but also some gossip should be spread, saying that the widow's injury has worsened, and the imperial doctors are helpless."

"Your Majesty is planning to lure the snake out of the hole?" Everyone suddenly realized, and soon understood the reason why Deng Sheng did so.

Deng Sheng nodded, and said: "That's right, even if we have someone to suspect now, but there is no evidence, I'm afraid it will be hard to hide the public's mouth if we rashly move a general and clan in the army. Besides, is it Fang Hanchen's case?" The collage with the Marquis of Nanxiang has not yet been concluded, and it is still too early to say anything."

"Your Majesty is wise!" the crowd said.

After everyone left, Qianyang Palace returned to its former peace, while Empress Dowager Cui continued to oversee the country.

"Master Hou, news came out from the palace that the man's injury had suddenly deteriorated, and the imperial doctors were helpless. I'm afraid it will only happen in the past few days." Fang Hanchen also has eyes and ears in the palace, and the news that Deng Sheng deliberately let it out soon spread. He found out, so he rushed to talk to Deng Ju.

"What you said is true? He is really dying!" Deng Ju said in surprise.

Fang Hanchen nodded, and said: "It should be true at this time. The person who sent me the news was the eyeliner I planted in the palace many years ago. There is nothing wrong with it. It is said that the news came from Qianyang Palace. , Lord Marquis, what should we do next?"

"That's great. Since the news is correct, the next thing General Fang has to do is to slowly transfer the Habayashi Army to the palace. As soon as the news of the man's death comes out, he will act immediately. At the same time, give this Marquis Send people to stare at Qingtian Lord's Mansion, Ziyang Lord's Mansion and Shanyin Lord's Mansion, and report to this Marquis immediately if there is any change." Deng Ju is struggling, after waiting for so many years, it can finally be realized, this world , is your own after all.

"Here!"

After Fang Hanchen left, Deng Ju came to a side hall alone, opened the door and entered, and saw a spiritual tablet on the table, on which was written "the spiritual tablet of Queen Mother Fang". This is Deng Ju's mother, Deng Guowu. The spiritual seat of King Zhuang's original consort.

At that time, Queen Fang was thrown into the cold palace, tortured, and finally died of hatred. Before she died, she told Deng Ju that she must save her life and wait for the opportunity, so Deng Ju turned to Mrs. Cui, who had the most background in the harem, which is now Queen Mother Cui. He fully supported Deng Sheng's succession. He originally thought that Deng Sheng was young, and he would definitely reuse his elder brother after he ascended the throne. He would force Deng Sheng to abdicate after he took control of the power of Deng Guo in the future. Who knew that after Deng Sheng succeeded to the throne, Deng Guoneng People come forth in large numbers, but Deng Sheng is still a very shrewd person, he can't squeeze into Deng Sheng's inner circle at all, so he will have no chance, so he has to keep a low profile and continue to wait for the opportunity.

Until a few months ago, when he learned that Deng Sheng was going to call the children of the army to hunt in the countryside, he knew that the opportunity had come, and Deng Ju also knew very well that Deng Sheng was young and energetic, and it was unlikely that he would die early, only through assassination. The way is to get rid of Deng Sheng, but Deng Sheng has been hiding in the palace for three years since he ascended the throne, and he has no chance at all. Moreover, Deng Sheng held a big wedding at the beginning of the year. Once Deng Sheng gave birth to an heir, even if Deng Sheng really died, that position would not match He had nothing to do with him, he had to get rid of Deng Sheng before he gave birth to an heir.

The fact that Deng Sheng summoned the children of the army to hunt gave Deng Ju an opportunity, so he found Fang Hanchen and conspired with him to assassinate Deng Sheng during the hunt. Things went well. Deng Sheng was seriously injured, but he was not dead after all. , he still didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to continue to wait. Now that it finally came, Deng Sheng was about to die. As long as Fang Hanchen controlled the palace and Wancheng, the situation would be certain.

After Deng Ju put on a stick of incense, he murmured: "Queen, Ju'er will soon become the king. After Ju'er takes that position, those who bullied our mother and son will have to pay the price." , Empress Mother, you have a spirit in heaven, so you must protect Ju'er."

The matter continued to ferment, and the civil and military officials had repeatedly suggested to the Empress Dowager Cui that they wanted to see Deng Sheng, but they were all rejected by the Empress Dowager Cui, which made the officials even more suspicious of whether Deng Sheng was still alive.

Three days later, Chang Yuchun, Yang Yanzhao, Yue Fei and others all led their troops to arrive outside Wancheng, but they were ordered by Deng Sheng to station outside Wancheng. Although Chun and the others were puzzled, they still obeyed Deng Sheng's order and stationed outside Wancheng.

On the second night after Yue Fei and others arrived, Fang Hanchen rushed to see Deng Ju.

"Master Hou, there is news from the palace that the man is dead, and someone saw a servant in the palace going to Qingtian Jun's mansion. He must want to take Qingtian Jun into the palace." Fang Hanchen told Deng Ju what happened tonight. .

After hearing that, Deng Ju quickly stood up and said expressionlessly: "I didn't expect that woman would send someone to invite Mr. Qingtian, General Fang, and immediately send someone to keep an eye on the palace and Mr. Qingtian's mansion. This marquis will enter the palace together." Originally, Deng Ju thought that once Deng Sheng failed, Empress Dowager Cui would send someone to invite him, but he did not expect that this woman, Empress Dowager Cui, would send someone to invite Qingtian Lord Deng Guo, which disrupted his plan In desperation, Deng Ju had no choice but to use force, took the lead in controlling the palace, and forced Queen Mother Cui to make himself king.

In fact, all of this was Deng Sheng's strategy. He knew that if he called Deng Ju into the palace, he would not be able to obtain strong evidence to accuse Deng Ju. Many people of all kinds cast their eyes on Sanjun's mansion intentionally or unintentionally, but Nanxianghou's mansion was very peaceful, which made Deng Sheng finally believe that Deng Ju did all of this, and that's why he invited Lord Qingtian into the palace. The purpose of this move was to let Deng Ju raise his troops directly, so that even if he did not admit that he did the assassination, he still had a reason to deal with him.

In the middle of the night, Lord Qingtian Deng Guo was invited into the palace without knowing it, and came to Qianyang Palace to meet Deng Sheng.Seeing Deng Sheng safe and sound, Deng Guo was surprised.

Deng Sheng looked at Deng Guo and said with a smile: "Second brother, are you surprised to see that the widow is safe?"

Deng Guo was startled, and quickly knelt down on the ground, saying: "My humble servant pays homage to the king, my king Wannian!"

Deng Sheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Second brother, please get up quickly. I invite second brother to come tonight to invite second brother to watch a good show."

"A good show? I wonder what the good show the king is talking about?" Deng Guo trembled, as if he was facing an abyss. As Deng Sheng's former opponent, he was very clear about Deng Sheng's methods, so since Deng Sheng ascended the throne, he has been They all lived in seclusion and did not dare to show their heads, for fear that Deng Sheng would take him under the knife.

Deng Sheng smiled and said: "Second brother, don't worry, drink a glass of water and wine with the widow first, the good show will be staged soon, come and give Lord Qingtian a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Deng Guoxuan sat down and had a drink with Deng Sheng, but he was still uneasy.
