Chapter 2055

Whoever it was, would have been disturbed and forcibly awakened from a sweet dream while sleeping in the middle of the night. No matter what the reason was, he would not be in a good mood. Even the always gentle and elegant prince would be in the same mood.

However, when Liu Yang appeared in Hongde Hall, although he was only wearing a simple single suit, he walked calmly and looked calm, as calm as usual, which made people feel at ease.

Liu Yang was not familiar with Li Jihe, but he had an impression of the generals in the Suwei court. At the same time, he also knew that if it was not an urgent matter, Li Jihe would never dare to be so reckless and overstep the rules.

palace.

Something happened at the camp! Liu Yang secretly made a judgment in his heart. However, when he saw Li Jihe, who was dusty and with bloodshot eyes, his heart still couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart. His eyes could penetrate the mind, and at the moment of meeting,

Liu Yang saw a hint of something bad in Li Jihe's eyes, and maybe there was a hidden meaning behind it.

"What edicts have been sent to the camp?" Liu Yang calmed down and stared at Li Jihe.

Seeing the crown prince, Li Jihe couldn't hold himself any longer. Under Liu Yang's gaze, he took out the mailbox that he had always kept close to his body, held it in both hands, and knelt down with tears in his eyes and said: "On the order of Duke Shou, please report to your highness urgently!"

The chamberlain king made an appointment and immediately approached, preparing to submit the letter. Just as he was about to touch the mailbox, Li Jihe quickly pushed it away. Li Jihe, on the other hand, grabbed the mailbox harder and said the same thing.

Seeing this, Liu Yang slowly walked down the steps, reached Li Jihe, stretched out his hand, and easily took from his hand what he regarded as his life's gift.

Taking the seal, feeling the sweat coming from the barrel, Liu Yang quickly glanced at it to confirm that the seal was intact and that the three golden lines on the edge of the seal symbolized emergency. Without saying anything, he took the knife from Wang Yue's hand,

He broke open the cover himself and took out a thin page of paper inside.

There are not many words, but the content expressed can imagine the impact it brought to Liu Yang. The blood surged up, almost straight to the top of his head. When his head was covered, Liu Yang fell backwards involuntarily and fell to the ground.

Wang Yue was startled when he saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, exclaiming: "Your Highness!"

After a few breaths, Liu Yang calmed down and tried to keep calm, but his eyes were already very scary. Looking at Li Jihe who was kneeling there numbly, Liu Yang shook off Wang Yue's support and walked away.

He squatted down in front of Li Jihe, grabbed his arms with both hands, stared at him and asked, "What's going on?"

Feeling the pain in his arms and facing the prince's fierce gaze, Li Jihe cried loudly, but suppressed his voice: "Your Majesty is here!"

Observing Li Jihe's performance closely, Liu Yang's mind was extremely confused for a moment, but all his thoughts ultimately pointed to one point. Neither Li Shaoyou nor Li Jihe dared to joke about such things!

With such a judgment, Liu Yang slowly let go of Li Jihe and sat back. The confirmation was also a process of relaxation. Reason regained the high ground in his head, but Liu Yang's eyes still couldn't help but start to turn red.

.

Seeing this, Li Jihe also recovered some thinking ability after venting his extreme emotions. Before leaving, Li Shaoyou's instructions or warnings appeared in his mind. Li Jihe also remembered his errand, but after a moment of hesitation,

Still couldn't help but kowtow and say one more thing: "The world has changed dramatically. Your Majesty has shouldered a huge responsibility for the country. I hope you can cheer up and live up to your Majesty's entrustment."

Hearing this, Liu Yang looked at Li Jihe again, noticed his respectful look, and stared at him deeply, as if he wanted to remember it completely. After thinking for a while, Liu Yang said: "I have my own way, you can continue to

I've been back to Beijing day and night to report, you've worked hard, go and rest first!"

"yes!"

"How many people are there in your group?" Liu Yang seemed to have thought of something and asked with a frown.

Li Jihe: "There are thirteen people in total, including General Lian Mo!"

Liu Yang turned to Wang Yue and said, "Tell people to free up a few rooms and temporarily place them in the East Palace!"

Wang Jing agreed, and immediately asked someone to arrange it. They said it was a resettlement, but it was actually house arrest. Li Jihe seemed to have heard it, but he realized the connection, so after thanking him, he resigned obediently.

As for Liu Yang, he was still sitting like that, even holding his knees with his hands a little insecurely, with a serious look on his face. Before long, Wang Yue hurried back and knelt down to wait for his orders. The eunuch had a calm face at this moment.

But the ups and downs in his heart are probably no less than those of Liu Yang. After so many years, he, a slave, has been worried for the prince. Now, he has finally gotten through it, and they, the chickens and dogs, can finally ascend to heaven.

Of course, Wang Yue would not dare to show such a mentality on his face. As a qualified personal servant, he knew very well how to behave in front of his master.

He raised his head and glanced at Wang Yue. Liu Yang just sat on the ground and gave orders: "Take care of the palace servants waiting in the palace first!"

"yes!"

"Send someone to inform Duke Lu (Liu Ming), Lu, Xin, Han, the three ministers (Lü Duan, Xin Zhongfu, Han Hui), Privy Pan, Gao Shangshu (Pan Mei, Gao Qiong), and Yang Dutai (Yang Ye)

), half an hour later, there will be a meeting in Guangzheng Palace!" Liu Yang calmly ordered: "Invite Li Jilong and Yang Yanzhao to ask them to enter the palace with me!"

Wang Yue quickly recorded that he was also familiar with these people mentioned by the prince. These were the people closest to the core of power in the Han Empire.

"After the arrangements have been made, you should also pack up and set off immediately to camp eastward with a message to Duke Shou. All matters concerning the camp will be decided by him!" Liu Yang said solemnly.

"Yes!" Wang Yue bowed again, and a torrent surged through his heart. Although this job was not difficult, it was of extraordinary significance to him. In times of emergency, he was the most trusted person by His Highness, so for this reason,

He should also be loyal to the death.

Of course Liu Yang trusted Wang Yue. He knew very well that during this drastic change, no one could be more diligent and loyal than these East Palace attendants in matters involving him.

As everything was quickly arranged, the Hongde Hall quickly became deserted. Liu Yang finally stood up slowly and walked outside the hall. Standing in the corridor, he stretched out his hand and leaned slightly against the embrace pillar, looking to the east. In this late night, his sight was extremely far away.

, it was so dark that I couldn’t see anything clearly, my eyes were getting blurry, and my eyes were getting blurry.

If Liu Yang said he had no resentment against the old emperor, it would be a lie. Ever since Liu Yang started to deal with the old emperor in various ways in various matters, the most basic trust between father and son has been lost.

, Liu Yang no longer has absolute respect for the old emperor.

The fundamental reason why the relationship between the two parties has been maintained since the death of Queen Fu is that both parties have huge sunk costs. Although there are conflicts, they dare not abandon it lightly.

After death, at this moment, Liu Yang could not explain clearly what kind of emotions he was feeling. Apart from the momentary surge of blood, his heart was empty. The tears that he had never shed in his life were quietly

Suddenly, the words slipped from Liu Yang's eyes involuntarily.

And if you ask about the feelings of the current Han Dynasty dignitaries towards the old emperor, they can probably all find something in common, which is not much different from that of Prince Liu Yang. They are all equally complicated.

Half an hour, just half an hour, in a tense atmosphere, the dignitaries of the Central Han Dynasty who were pointed out by Liu Yang all gathered in the Guangzheng Hall in the deep second half of the night.

None of these ministers were human beings. From the fact that the prince was so eager and tough, and even summoned in the middle of the night, they felt something strange. It was definitely unusual.

But no matter how good the psychological quality is, no matter how deep the city is, hearing the news of the old emperor's death from the prince's mouth is still shocking. For example, Yang Ye even raised questions directly and questioned Liu Yang regardless of his dignity.

Although the attitude of others was not as fierce as that of Yang Ye, after being shocked, they all wanted to confirm the authenticity of the old emperor's death. After confirmation, people in the Guangzheng Palace Hall suddenly fell to their knees and burst into tears.

The ministers and ministers of the empire felt as if they were mourning for their heirs, and were filled with grief. Among them, Yang Ye, Pan Mei and Han Hui cried the most. The one who cried the most was Pan Mei, the Privy Councilor, who cried until he fainted.

There was a moment of excitement in the diplomatic chamber...

After the old emperor, these dignitaries who held the highest power in the Han Empire cried bitterly when they first heard the bad news. If it were purely a performance, it would be unfair. To some extent, it contained some true feelings. The monarchs and ministers of decades

Emotions, the grievances and grievances in them are so complex that it is often difficult to describe them in just one sentence.

No matter how much resentment, fear, respect, or hatred there is in daily life, when this moment comes, other than crying, using any other way or words to express this situation seems inappropriate.

At the same time, what they were crying about was not only the Daxing Emperor, but also the decades-long relationship between emperor and minister. They were also crying about an era that was about to pass away completely. These ministers present were not young, and they were from the entire empire.

It seems that there are not many people with more seniority and higher prestige than them.

Even in the past years, they were still afraid and dissatisfied with the old emperor's stubbornness and violence, but they never thought of opposing the old emperor, or more directly expected the old emperor's death.

In the final analysis, their current status is closely related to the old emperor. The interests of both parties are fundamentally the same. They are the political guards of the old emperor. Even the prince Liu Yang, even though they both recognize his wisdom and virtuousness, the two

After all, there is a layer between them.

They were crying not only for Emperor Daxing, but also for themselves!

Therefore, apart from being sad, everyone had mixed emotions, and Liu Yang waited for everyone to vent and digest the news before he spoke and discussed the follow-up matters with the ministers.

Needless to say, there are only two core issues, one is to welcome the Zi Palace and govern the country for mourning, and the other is the issue of enthronement and succession.

There is no need to talk about the former. In terms of the guiding ideology of loyalty, filial piety and justice, no one dares to discount this matter or make any inappropriate remarks, otherwise they will be attacked by a group of people.

For the latter, Liu Yang seemed very reserved, but Liu Yan, Lu Duan, and Xin Zhongfu helped to point out that this was a matter related to the safety of the country, and there was no room for negligence. Someone had to stand up and express his position. During this kind of transfer of power.

, are often the ones most prone to problems. Even if the power position is already stable, like Prince Liu Yang, it is difficult to say that everything is safe.

Both of them obviously need the stability of the court and the stability of people's hearts, which must start from the prince and the ministers.

Of course, if it is too tense, it will not reflect the influence and control of the prince who has been in power for more than 30 years. In fact, apart from preparing for the funeral, there are not many extra things that they really need to do.

Liu Yang summoned the ministers to attend the Guangzheng Hall meeting, not only to inform the news, but also to achieve a consensus. Based on this consensus, they were able to pacify the court and the army was under control. As for the rest, they would only wait for the right time to reveal

Just tell the world.

The Guangzheng Palace meeting ended in a sad and calm atmosphere. The prince and the ministers quickly reached an agreement on the funeral and heirs of the Daxing Emperor. At the same time, it was decided to let the ministers, ministers, and governors in Tokyo who were still in Kaifeng

In Taipei, Guangyang Bo Zhao Kuangyi went to camp to pick up the spirit driver.

It's not that I don't believe Li Shaoyou and others, it's just that they represent the legacy of Emperor Daxing, and the central court also needs to make its own voice. As for Zhao Kuangyi as the representative, the reason is simple. He has enough status, and Tokyo is closest to the camp. That's all.

That's all.

Although summer has passed, the autumn tiger is still showing its strong presence. Henan Road, Puzhou, on the official road more than ten miles west of Juancheng.

Under the scorching sunshine, in front of the camp, at the imperial camp, and where the Zi Palace is, the two parties were facing each other.

One party was Li Shaoyou and his party who were escorting Zi Gong to the capital. They were returning from Taishan to the west, taking the Heyin route and passing through Yun and Puzhou. A lot of information was not so easy to hide, especially when there were too many words and mixed eyes, and everyone's sense of smell was also complicated.

It didn't malfunction, so even though Li Shaoyou and others took drastic measures, after a few days, everyone in the camp noticed something strange.

Although it is impossible to be sure, many people have guessed that something might have happened to His Majesty the Emperor, and many of the spies were severely punished. Because of this, it has triggered more widespread speculation. After all, the camp is not the same.

The high walls and deep palaces have the convenience of naturally blocking news, but whether the emperor is there or not, there are definitely two atmospheres and two environments.

On the other side, Zhao Kuangyi came. After receiving the central decision from Luoyang, Zhao Kuangyi was surprised and took action quickly. He only brought a few staff and Kaifeng government officials, and of course Fufeng County, who was the commander of Gyeonggi Province at the time.

When the stallion is pregnant, he leads his army to follow him.

You can imagine how complicated Zhao Kuangyi felt when he heard that the old emperor had passed away.

It’s hard to talk about sadness, but it’s not about joy. The most appropriate term is relief. Counting back, for at least fifteen years, Zhao Kuangyi felt suppressed. Five years ago, he clearly realized the source of this suppression.
