The eldest prince washed his hands five times, and he did not finish until his hands turned red. However, he was still worried that the spread of smallpox was terrible, and once it was infected, there would be no cure.

An unfamiliar eunuch came over and said: "Your Highness, the imperial concubine heard about you and asked you to go to her palace to change clothes."

The eldest prince was only wearing his middle coat at this time, and many places were splashed with water, he was indeed in a bit of a mess.

The emperor didn't think there was anything wrong, after all, only Lanxin Palace had clothes worn by the eldest son in this palace.

The eldest prince followed the eunuch to Jianxin Palace, but halfway he found that the road did not lead to Jianxin Palace at all. He pulled out his dagger and put it on the eunuch's neck, and asked sharply, "Where are you taking me?" ?”

The eunuch looked around and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, it was General Yun who asked the slaves to take you out of the palace. He has already ordered people to surround the palace. We have to leave the palace as soon as possible."

"What?" The eldest prince was startled, and then he was furious, "Why didn't he discuss it with me?"

"General Yun means that the opportunity is so rare at this time, it is better to hit the sun than choose the day, you should go out of the palace with the slave."

The eldest prince pressed the dagger hard against his neck, "Wait a minute, why should I trust you, a slave? Also, what about the concubine mother? What about the concubine mother?"

"The imperial concubine has already arranged someone to pick her up. When General Yun officially seals off the city, you will be in danger staying in the palace." As he said that, the eunuch took out a jade pendant from his bosom and showed it to the eldest prince.

That was their extremely close personal object, the First Prince naturally recognized it, he lowered his head to glance at his nondescript clothes, and asked him to take him to find a set of clothes first.

"Just find a set of servant's clothes for this palace."

"How is this possible?" The eunuch said, "Your Highness, those are clothes worn by servants, you..."

"Okay, when are you still paying attention to these things? It will make it less conspicuous if you encounter guards wearing underwear."

The eldest prince is not someone who doesn't know how to turn around. He is like a bird in a cage, he can be taken as a hostage at any time, and now the most important thing is getting out of the palace safely.

He still couldn't understand Yun Heran's behavior of coercing the palace privately, his uncle was too arbitrary, even if he became the throne himself in the future, he might not be able to settle down.

Over there, Teng Yu was also walking on the way out of the palace, and on the way, he bumped into Commander Xu who was rushing in, oh, no, it's just guard Xu now.

The relationship between the two was not good, so Teng Yu stopped him and asked, "Guard Xu, what happened, are you rushing to reincarnate?"

"See Your Highness for a humble position." Guard Xu touched the sweat on his forehead, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, the palace is under siege."

Teng Yu frowned, he didn't expect the other party to move so fast, without any warning.

"Who surrounded the palace?" he asked knowingly.

"Looking at the costumes, they should be soldiers and horses of the Yun family." Xu Shiwei didn't want to waste time here, so he pleaded guilty, "Your Highness, I am in a hurry to report this matter to the emperor, why don't you come together?"

Teng Yu looked at the gate of the palace from a distance, from here he could only see a red dot, he couldn't tell how many soldiers were surrounded outside, it was not difficult for him to find a gap to get out, but at this time, it should be more advantageous to be in the palace.

He told one of the guards: "Go out from behind the cold palace. After you go out there is the moat. The rebels won't notice it for the time being. Tell Han Qing to follow the plan."

"The subordinates will not disgrace their lives!"

Teng Yu followed Guard Xu back to the imperial study, the emperor was walking back and forth in the study with an uneasy expression, he was not very old, but his temples were already gray, and the wrinkles on his face were much more than a year ago.

"What exactly happened? Why are there drums?" There are three big drums outside the palace gate, the Ming Drum, the Twilight Drum, and the big drum for warning in case of crisis.

"Your Majesty, the Yun family has rebelled, and General Yun has sent people to surround the palace!" Since Guard Xu was demoted, he has turned his back on him, and he remains calm even in the face of unknown dangers.

"Yun Heran! How dare he!" The emperor suddenly jumped up, "Where are the guards in the palace? Where are the forbidden soldiers? Where are they all dead? Let me catch that traitor!"

"Your Majesty, the enemy has a large number of people. They are only besieging the city but not attacking...there are less than 1 guards and imperial troops in the palace. We still need to quickly mobilize troops from outside the palace to support them!"

Teng Yu interrupted and said: "Father, according to my son, there may be changes outside the palace, and that old thief Yun Heran will not dare to force the palace with only 2 troops."

"The Yun family guards the Northeast, and there are only 5 soldiers in total. Could it be that he brought all the soldiers here regardless of the safety of the people?" Fifty thousand Northeast Army does not sound like a lot, but compared with the pampered and pampered soldiers in the capital, these soldiers are just as big. Not a small combat power.

"That's not necessarily true. Some of the generals in Beijing should have defected to the traitors!" As soon as Teng Yu said this, the emperor vomited blood angrily.

Thinking of the imperial physician's repeated explanations, the emperor should not be stimulated any longer, if he gets angry easily, his body will collapse very quickly.

"Father calm down, we still have to dispatch the soldiers from the city guard and the Jingji battalion as soon as possible. If the traitor takes control of the city gate later, we will be the turkey in the urn."

The emperor took out the tiger talisman from the secret compartment and handed it to Guard Xu, "Go, I know you were wronged last time, this time you should make up for it!"

Guard Xu carefully placed the tiger talisman next to his body, "Yes, I thank the Lord for your kindness!"

This scene happened to fall into the eyes of the new leader of the guards. His eyes were dumbfounded, and he knelt down to report the situation outside to the emperor.

Originally, he was supposed to be the first to report it, but it's a pity that he is not as light-hearted as Xu, so he took a step ahead.

He used to be the deputy commander, but finally the mountain above his head fell down. The emperor trusted him and promoted him to the top position, thinking that from now on it would be a bright road, but who knows that the reality is not so beautiful.

Although the emperor dismissed Xu from his post, he still trusted him the most. Just like this time, the person who received the tiger talisman was actually him instead of himself.

What Yun Heran once said echoed in his mind, he was just a substitute, and it was a temporary substitute, once Xu Mang made meritorious service, the position of leader would still be his sooner or later.

He seemed to have heard the words "serving crimes and making meritorious service" outside the study just now, and it seems that the emperor really had such thoughts.

Teng Yu's deep eyes fell on this trusted commander. This person is quite old, and his ability is not very outstanding. He asked: "Commander Wang, if there is a fight, what are the chances of our side winning?" ?”

Teng Yu tied himself and the emperor together on purpose, also for the sake of changing the name in the future.

"Well, it's hard to say. The opponent has [-] elite soldiers and the palace is huge. We have to divide some of our people to protect the emperor's concubines, and we also need to patrol non-stop. If the opponent concentrates on one point, there is no countermeasure for the humble."

"Then take the initiative to attack! This is the imperial palace, should I wait for the traitor to come in?" The emperor's eyes were bloodshot, and when his temper came up, he was like a wild beast out of control, with a faint desire to kill in his heart.

First there was the King of Qin, and now there is the Yun Family, all of these people want to take over his power, and they all want to die!

"Where's Teng Yi?... Go! Capture Teng Yi and Concubine Yun. The Yun family rebelled, and their mother and son are inseparable!"

Commander Wang understood, and took people to Lanxin Hall, hesitating about a decision along the way, Yun Heran asked him more than once, whether he wanted to be a commander who would be replaced at any time, or a guardian, General with a heavy hand!

There is no man who has joined the military and does not want to be a general. Although the commander of the guard is a position that everyone fights for, it is far from the freedom of guarding one side.

Look at Marshal Huo, look at General Yun, which one of them is not the emperor in the frontier?That is the life a man should have.

Teng Yu poured a cup of tea for the emperor, and comforted him: "Father, don't worry, the sky is clear at this time, Yun Heran will definitely not choose to fight now, as soon as the reinforcements arrive, they will be defeated!"

The emperor looked up at him, took the teacup and didn't drink it, but said sharply: "You are pretending to be filial right now, don't think I don't know, you just have to be nice to me because you are trapped in this palace. !"

"What do you mean by the emperor's father? Do you still dare to lose your temper with you?" Teng Yu smiled after speaking. He remembered that when he was a child, he had indeed lost his temper with the emperor. Later, even if he did, he pretended to be angry. .

The emperor was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "I regret what happened to your mother!"

The corner of Teng Yu's mouth curled up, and he didn't ask him what he regretted. Can a word of regret change everything?Can he save his biological mother's life?How can there be such a simple thing?

"I was obsessed with ghosts at the time. After the Yun family is dealt with this time, I will make you the crown prince." The emperor said exactly what he said, and stared at Teng Yu for a long time after speaking.

Teng Yu chuckled: "What kind of reaction does the emperor want to see from his son's face? Undisguised ecstasy? Or suppressed ecstasy?"

When the Yun family is dealt with, the eldest prince will definitely be implicated. There will be only one of the four princes left. Even if the emperor doesn't make him the prince, is there any other choice?

Teng Yu couldn't say whether he was happy or sad, "You don't need to test me, what should be mine is mine, and what isn't mine I won't force!"

The emperor looked away calmly, "It's just that if you want to make you the crown prince, you must withdraw the imperial decree of marriage. How can a crown prince with no heirs be recognized by the world? I don't want the great Liang and Jiangshan to be ruined in your hands!"

Teng Yu raised his eyebrows, showing a hint of joy, and then his face sank again, "It's impossible, my son is not married to Huo Tian!"

Naturally, the emperor would not ignore the look of joy on his brows, and he confirmed Teng Yu's choice in his heart. No matter how nice the man said, when it came time to make a choice, it was clear which was more important.

The emperor took a blank imperial decree from the side, picked up a pen and wrote down an imperial edict, without affixing the jade seal, and handed it to Teng Yu, "I know you are sincere to Huo Tian, ​​but when you have a country, what is a man?" ? If you like him, stay by your side, you can pamper him as much as you can, and what you want to do is not a matter of your words?"

Teng Yu refused to accept the imperial decree, and turned his face away, "Father, you don't need to persuade my son, my son will not let Huo Tian down."

The emperor sighed, stamped the jade seal on the imperial decree and put it in the dark compartment, "My health is getting worse and worse, this imperial decree will be issued after this chaos is put down, you can rest assured."

Teng Yu thought sarcastically: Isn't it to reassure himself that he said so much, so as not to hurt him in the back?

Unfortunately, this opportunity was so good that he couldn't bear to miss it.

"Father, have you ever regretted sending Marshal Huo and his son out?" Teng Yu thought, if Huo Zhengquan was there, Yun Heran would not dare to force the palace so hastily if he had given Yun Heran ten courage.

The emperor sneered, "So what, when you sit in this position, you will understand how I feel. I really want to see how you and Huo Tian will still love each other."

The emperor was sure that these two people would not last long. How could a person sitting on the throne tolerate being overwhelmed by a courtier? Anyone wants to get rid of it.

Teng Yu said in an angry tone, "The father must live well to see that day."

Commander Wang came back soon, with a panicked and annoyed expression, "Your Majesty, I have not found the Eldest Prince and Concubine Yun Gui, they are missing."

"Bastard! How could two living people disappear? Look again! Even if you turn the palace over, you have to find them!"

Commander Wang was about to go out, when he heard the third prince say: "Father, don't look for them, they must have already left the palace, Yunhe dared to force the palace, he must have made preparations first."

"Bastard!" The emperor cursed again, "Execute all the servants of Lanxin Palace! Eat everything from inside to outside! Death is not a pity!"

Teng Yu didn't stop this time, the master escaped, and the servants would not be able to survive, the palace probably would inevitably experience a catastrophe.

Teng Yu stood aside with his head bowed, and thought to himself: It's better for the emperor to take action, so as not to have to deal with these slaves after he becomes the master of the house.
