Crown Prince's Counterattack

"Tell me..."

Sima Yi's voice was like ice, with an indescribable coldness.

"The secret message from the Marquis Mansion has sent news that the general is seriously ill, and His Majesty has ordered people to block the news."

Accompanied by the soft sound of beads falling on the jade plate, the white jade chess piece in Sima Yi's hand fell on the jade chessboard, and there was a sigh that seemed to be absent.

"Go down..."

The incense wood in the gilt copper stove was more than half burned, Sima Yi sat on the dark couch, rarely showing a trace of fatigue, the empty room was unusually silent, and with the loss of power in the Eastern Palace, the entire palace seemed to be depressed.

After a hundred years of reincarnation, even though he was used to seeing life and death, Sima Yi felt very sad about the departure of those close to him. What's more, Wei Qing's death meant that he would lose a major force that restrained Liu Che. The reason why the East Palace is still calm Most of them came from everyone's fear of Wei Qing.Sima Yi sighed wistfully. When he visited Wei Qing earlier, although he was also seriously ill, his complexion was good, but now his physical condition has deteriorated rapidly, probably because of him.

Sima Yi stood up, paced back and forth in the room, his brows were tightly furrowed, his face was troubled, after a while, he stopped dejectedly, stared out of the window without saying a word.

He wanted to see Wei Qing for the last time, but he also deeply understood that at this time, it would be even more impossible for Liu Che to let him have the chance to see Wei Qing, and now all he can do is to be patient for the time being.

*********

There was a lot of traffic outside Changping Hou's Mansion, and there were countless people coming and going to express their condolences. The smell of incense burnt in the clouds and fog, and the overwhelming black color was solemn and depressing. Everyone had similar pain on their faces, and the whole funeral was grand and grand, and it was undeniable that this was a posthumous downfall.

Who would have thought that in just a few days, this powerful general would pass away suddenly. Thinking of what happened during these days, everyone was even more somber.

When Sima Yi walked in, there was a slight disturbance. Everyone's eyes turned from surprise to understanding for the Crown Prince who had been grounded and in danger. It seemed that His Majesty had allowed the Crown Prince to send the general on his last journey. It was clear. It is inevitable that there will be people who gloat behind the scenes. The Queen has long since fallen out of favor with Her Majesty, and now that General Wei has passed away, the days of this incomparable Crown Prince will come to an end.

All kinds of eyes fell on Sima Yi, and he didn't seem to notice it. He walked up to the spirit tablet, burned a stick of incense quietly, and remained silent for a long time in front of Wei Qing's coffin. After a brief silence, Sima Yi glanced at the sad-looking Princess Xinwidow who was not far away, and turned around to leave.

It was extremely difficult for him to come out this time. The guards who followed him out of the palace were for protection and surveillance, so Sima Yi was careful not to act rashly, so he was ready to leave immediately after the incense was burnt.

Sima Yi's footsteps were in a hurry, but unexpectedly, an ordinary maid carrying tea bumped into him head-on, Sima Yi's arm warmed up slightly, and all the tea was poured on him, and the scene suddenly fell silent.

Sima Yi shook his clothes, and frowned tightly. The maid serving tea opened her eyes wide, showing fear, and immediately knelt down on the ground tremblingly, her body trembling slightly.

"Your Highness, forgive me, Your Highness, Your Highness..."

While kowtowing vigorously, the maid said this sentence repeatedly, looking at Sima Yi pleadingly, her voice trembling.

"Come on, quickly drag this lowly maid out of the house and punish her with a stick!"

The old butler who was the director of the Hou Mansion changed his face in fright, and rushed over to appease Sima Yi, and wiped the water on his body with a silk handkerchief.

"Your Highness, do you need a change of clothes? By the way, Imperial Physician Xuan will come and take a look."

The old housekeeper glanced worriedly at the red mark on Sima Yi's arm, and carefully observed the changes in Sima Yi's face. Seeing his always calm expression, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"never mind"

Sima Yi flicked his sleeves, finally endured, turned around and left the Hou Mansion and returned to the East Palace.

In the stillness of the night, only the study room in the East Palace was still lit. Sima Yi focused on looking at the tiger amulet on the case table, and heaved a long sigh of relief as he thought about the good show of Mingxiu plank road during the day.

In the end, Wei Qing still chose to help him. I'm afraid he also saw Liu Che's determination. In this way, his chances of winning increased a bit...

******

With the sudden death of General Wei Qing, the East Palace fell into the dark cloud of the witchcraft case, and the atmosphere in the entire capital seemed extremely depressing. The Gu case is about to come to an end, the court is full of turmoil, the prince's power is constantly being suppressed, and the calls for abolishing the prince are getting louder and louder, and Sima Yi in the East Palace is becoming more and more calm.

The Sanqing Hall in Ganquan Palace is filled with smog all year round. Even if he is busy with government affairs, Liu Che will spend a lot of time here to stay here for a while. The effect of the medicine is excellent, Liu Che is very satisfied, and he uses it more frequently on weekdays, and the rewards are constant.

It was this kind of ethereal feeling that made Liu Che feel that his whole body was light and light, and the great stimulation seemed to make him fall into a dreamlike mirror image. After waking up, it seemed that the aftertaste was still long...

After sitting quietly for a stick of incense, when Liu Che finally calmed down, he finally opened his eyes in satisfaction. When he saw the person sitting opposite him, his gaze froze and his face suddenly became stiff.

After Liu Che took the elixir, Sima Yi walked out of the dark room and sat opposite Liu Che. At this time, Liu Che, who had fallen into the illusion, had an expression of enjoyment on his face, unaware of the danger around him, and defenseless In front of Sima Yi, Sima Yi just watched with a kind of pity that the emperor who was shrewd and tried to govern gradually became pathetic step by step.

"How will you be here!"

After being shocked, Liu Che suddenly felt that such a question was a bit ridiculous, and he dared to leave the East Palace without permission, just because he, the crown prince...

"Niezi, you are so bold!"

Liu Che's face was gloomy, his eyes flickered, and he scolded Sima Yi, but he didn't have the confidence in his heart. Under such unscrupulousness, he must have something to rely on.

"Come on!"

Liu Che ordered, but there was only the slightest echo in the empty hall, but no one responded to him. Liu Che's face gradually became serious.

"The guards outside the door have already been transferred away, only you and my father and son are left here."

Facing Liu Che's anger, Sima Yi was unusually calm from beginning to end, and under such calm gaze, Liu Che also calmed down slowly, and began to think about countermeasures.

The young eagle has long been able to fly alone, but the eagle still feels that all this is still under his control. Facing the situation that is no longer under his control, Liu Che really realizes that he is really old.

"I never thought you had such means, I really underestimated you."

Liu Che's eyes showed admiration, helplessness, guard and anger. The royal family has no father and son, but he never thought that the eldest son would actually commit treason.

"Isn't my father forcing my son to be here today?"

Sima Yi smiled slightly, with the corners of his mouth raised, with a bit of sarcasm on his face, Liu Che understood what he meant, his eyelids drooped, looking a bit indifferent.

"How do you want it?"

"Father, you are old, and it's time to take care of your life. Since you love to practice Taoism so much, you might as well practice hard with Qingyuan Daoist. As a son of man, I will always take good care of you and be a leisurely emperor. , what do you think?"

"Delusion! Will you be convinced as a civil and military man of the Manchu Dynasty! Don't lose your way!"

"Father really underestimated Erchen. Anyway, Erchen has been the prince for so many years, and there are still some people who can be used in his hands. If someone refuses to accept it, the minister can only let him die. Civil and military, there are probably only a few people with such integrity, not to mention, I still have the troops my uncle entrusted to me..."

Liu Che clenched his hands. He didn't expect that the minister he trusted really betrayed him. Fortunately, he still felt sorry for the Wei family, so he really was a traitor.

"Hmph, no matter what you say, I will never give up the throne to you, a rebellious son."

Liu Che gritted his teeth and looked at Sima Yi. He has been the only one for his whole life. He doesn't believe that he will lose. As long as he lives for a day, he can only sit on the throne.

"Hehehe..."

Sima Yi laughed in a low voice, and looked at Liu Che with pity. Liu Che frowned, and looked at Sima Yi in puzzlement. Could it be that what he said was funny?

"why are you laughing?"

"Laughing father, you are too self-righteous, my son is here to inform you, not to beg you to make an order"

Liu Che opened his eyes wide, and looked at Sima Yi in shock. Unexpectedly, he was so unscrupulous, and suddenly became furious.

"Nie Zi, get out—"

********

Sima Yi led people to seal the entire Chang'an City and took control of Ganquan Palace. On the other side, Empress Wei also ordered people to seal up the palace to prevent any news from spreading. , the entire capital suddenly became turbulent, and those who wanted to fish in troubled waters were suppressed bloody by Sima Yi. No one thought that His Royal Highness, who had been imprisoned, would actually rebel.

The gate of Jiang's mansion was tightly sealed, Jiang Chong paced around the mansion with an ugly face, and his heart was even more flustered, anxious about the situation outside, if His Royal Highness really succeeded this time, then he really Jiang Chong regretted that his family was going to be copied and exterminated, not because he offended the prince too hard, but because he didn't do it hard enough.

It's not just Jiang's mansion that is also worried, those who are worried about the prince falling into the stone are now very uneasy, and their premonition is very effective, but in the middle of the afternoon, many officials' mansions were broken into one after another And enter.

Queen Wei's heart is very complicated, flustered and at ease. From a slave to the mother of a country, all the glory has become a thing of the past, but she can not be the queen, but her son must sit in that position, so between a cruel husband and a worthy Among the sons she relied on, she happily chose the latter. With the help of the manpower accumulated in the palace for many years, she controlled the entire palace. Even if she was no longer favored by the emperor, she was still a queen. The princes and princesses are all with me, controlling those who want to act rashly.

After being the prince for these years, the power in his hands should not be underestimated. Coupled with the military power in his hands and the assistance of Queen Wei, the whole situation was quickly brought under control. As for those stubborn people, Sima Yi would not Talk nonsense with them, he has the emperor in his hands, although the position is not very bright, but he can't control so much, Sima Yi thinks it is very difficult for Liu Che to give him the throne willingly.

Xuanzheng Hall

All the ministers looked at the person sitting high on the throne and looked at each other. They all dared to be angry but dared not speak out. Those who really dared to speak became the ghosts of the underworld.

Sima Yi did not speak, and no one in the entire hall dared to speak first, the scene was deserted and awkward.

"Dare to ask His Royal Highness, where is His Majesty now?"

The one who is not afraid of death is here!The people who knew the current affairs hurriedly hid aside, their eyes were blank, as if they hadn't heard anything.

"It seems that this must be what all lovers want to know. I am very happy to tell you that the father is currently practicing with the real person in Qingyuan. I am afraid that it will be difficult for the family to see the father in a short time. In order to concentrate on cultivating, Only then did my father abdicate the throne to me, so all the nobles must not let me down."

"Hmph! Your Majesty is definitely not willing to conspire against you. It must be you who imprisoned His Majesty. I refuse to accept it!"

"It seems that Li Qing is suffering from insanity. If so, don't come out to scare people. Come and drag Master Li out of here."

Sima Yi smiled and watched this honest and loyal minister being dragged out like this, the people left in the hall turned pale with fright.

"Bring Jiang Chong and others to me"

At this time, Sima Yi remembered the people who should be dealt with. Looking at these people who entered the palace in embarrassment, Sima Yi's anger at being trapped in the East Palace finally dissipated a little.

Jiang Chong and the others knelt on the hall, looking at the high emperor with fear in their eyes, trembling with fright, but even this could not arouse Sima Yi's compassion at all.

"You use witchcraft to curse the emperor and frame the East Palace. This is an unforgivable crime. Do you plead guilty?"

"Your Majesty, do you have evidence—"

Jiang Chong and others were not reconciled, and shouted at Sima Yi hoarsely, but Sima Yi's unscrupulousness made their final plan come to nothing.

"Evidence? What I say is evidence!"

Sima Yi had a look of disdain, and he spoke eloquently, so what if he turned black and white?This is the supremacy of imperial power.

Jiang Chong and the others fell down on the hall with despair on their faces. They forgot that the so-called monarch and ministers are life and death.

Looking at this scene, the onlookers looked at the newly appointed His Majesty, and if they realized something, this is a completely unscrupulous Lord who doesn't pay attention to etiquette and morality, but he has a noble status, and no one can restrain him He, who would dare to offend such an emperor?The ministers thought about it disheartened, but now they can only admit it, who said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was gentle and courteous back then, this is completely a wolf in rabbit's clothing!

The author has something to say: So be it, hurry up!
