Chapter 1,663: Breaking into Zhongshu to plan and correct the imperial edict
The tunnel of more than ten miles gradually came to an end. Liu Yu sighed as he walked: "I don't know who built such a long tunnel. I'm afraid it wasn't newly dug after you arrived at Jianjing Temple."
Zhi Miaoyin laughed and said: "Of course not. In any imperial palace, similar escape routes will be left so that when the palace is in chaos, the emperor and other concubines have a place to escape. You have also seen that there are many ways here.
This fork in the road can lead to at least four or five exits, and our Jianjing Temple is just one of them. The other exits need to be opened like this before they can pass."
As she spoke, she walked forward and inserted a jade stone into the small hole on the side of a stone door in front of her. The jade bead fell into the hole and the mechanism sounded. The stone door slowly opened, revealing the passage ahead.
Just like the three stone gates we encountered before on this road.
Liu Yu sighed: "Then you knew about these secret passages after entering Jianjing Temple? Legend has it that the emperor and the King of Kuaiji can come to meet you secretly, just by taking these secret passages?"
Zhi Miaoyin nodded: "Yes, they did not dare to come to see a nun openly at first, and they used secret paths. Later, when the matter spread, they did not avoid suspicion. But when they have important matters to discuss and do not want to be known,
Let's go here. The exit of this door is Zhongshu Province. Because the emperor used to have a good relationship with Zhang Guifei, if he entered the harem, he would probably be in Zhang Guifei's palace, so he often used excuses to review memorials in Zhongshu Province. I almost
The first time we secretly entered the palace to discuss military and state matters, we all went to Zhongshu Province, and now, that's where we are above."
Liu Yu nodded, and Zhi Miaoyin lifted up a layer of stone slabs on the top, and jumped out. They saw that this was a small courtyard. Behind the hall, in a hidden flower bed, Zhi Miaoyin
When he came out of the drill, Liu Yu's brows were furrowed. Zhi Miaoyin looked at him and asked in surprise: "What's wrong, Brother Yu, is there something wrong?"
Liu Yu looked at the main hall, with the candlelight swaying, and said thoughtfully: "It's strange. Isn't it normal that Zhongshu Province is unmanned? There are no officials, and there are no guards in the main hall. Is it so important to draft an edict?
Is this a place where people can come and go as they please?"
Zhi Miaoyin frowned and suddenly said: "Brother Yu, it seems, there seems to be a noise outside. How about we get closer and listen?"
Liu Yu nodded, covered the dark board, gnawed some soil with his feet to cover it, and then jumped up to the eaves of the palace wall. Behind him, a breeze sounded, but a wonderful sound also followed.
, but at this time, her nun's robe had disappeared, and she had changed into a tight-fitting night windbreaker, which made her exquisite figure look wonderful.
Strange to say, as Zhi Miaoyin took off the monk's robe, the scent of sandalwood on her body completely disappeared. Even the faint fragrance of virginity could no longer be smelled. It was colorless and odorless, which was the best for her at this time.
Describe, because even her face was wrapped in a black cloth, leaving only two eye holes, a pair of bright eyes like water, bright and sparkling.
This was the first time Liu Yu saw Zhi Miaoyin dressed as a spy. He said nothing, nodded, and moved forward quickly. Sure enough, there were voices gradually coming from the front. It seemed that two people were arguing fiercely. They were like this
After a few ups and downs on the roof of Zhongshu Province, we arrived at the door. Sure enough, our eyes suddenly burst into light, and two waves of people were confronting each other right here.
The person facing Liu Yu was standing outside Zhongshu Province. He was wearing a purple robe. He was not Wang Guobao. Beside him, Sima Shangzhi was wearing armor and standing with his sword. Behind him were more than two hundred Su Wei soldiers.
However, there was no veteran of the Beifu Army. Liu Yu recognized these people and knew that most of them were Sima Shangzhi's personal guards. On the other side, there was the same purple-robed official, of medium height, standing with his back to Liu Yu, behind him
, are more than thirty guards from Zhongshu Province, both in number and equipment, they are much worse than those on the opposite side...
Zhi Miaoyin and Liu Yu looked at each other and said secretly: "Wang Wangobao, why is he coming to Zhongshu Province at this time?"
Liu Yu said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that the emperor has really been killed. Wang Guobao is here for the edict."
While the two were talking, they heard Wang Guobao say in a deep voice: "Wang Shuang, the late emperor has passed away. This is absolutely true. Now the Queen Mother has a decree. She must immediately take out the late emperor's edict and support the new king."
Sir, you are blocking my way here, are you trying to rebel?"
Liu Yu suddenly realized that the little man with his back turned to him was none other than Wang Shuang, who was serving as a servant. He was Wang Gong's younger brother and an important member of the Changming Party in the inner court.
, Guarding Zhongshu Province means being able to control the issuance of the emperor's edicts, and the position is extremely important. According to Wang Guobao's words, he probably wants to come here to obtain the jade seal and make Sima Daozi emperor.
Wang Shuang's voice revealed a hint of grief and indignation: "Your Majesty was fine in the afternoon, why did he suddenly die? What on earth is going on?!"
Wang Guobao also had a sad look on his face, even trying hard to squeeze out two tears, and choked up: "I heard that His Majesty died suddenly in his sleep. I have checked his body, and it is true that he was buried in the sky."
Well, as for the cause of death, the imperial doctors are still investigating, but we cannot give up our duties as ministers just because His Majesty died suddenly. The most important thing now is to obtain the edict that His Majesty made before his death and decide who will ascend the throne as emperor."
Wang Shuang said loudly: "Wang Guobao, don't keep talking here. Your Majesty has never left any edicts before. Everyone in the world knows that he established the crown prince early. This is the official crown prince. Even if His Majesty Long Yu Mingtian
, it is also the crown prince who ascends the throne, this is a matter of course."
Wang Guobao sneered and said: "But everyone in the world knows that the prince does not know whether he is warm or cold, and he cannot even speak. He can only lie in bed all day long. At the age of twenty, his younger brother has to help him even with eating, drinking, and defecation. In this way, he can't even speak."
How can you be a king if you are not considered a normal person? Your Majesty is wise and powerful. He has told me a long time ago that he hopes that the prince's illness will get better. Even if it does not, he can wait until the other princes are older before making a decision and establish the prince that year.
When His Majesty ascended the throne, he did not know that the prince had this condition. Later, in order to stabilize people's hearts, he never abolished it. However, just in case, His Majesty had a posthumous edict, and this edict was in Zhongshu Province. Now, it is
It’s time to take out this edict!”
Wang Shuang sternly said: "That's nonsense! As a minister, I have never heard such a statement. Wang Guobao, as an important minister, you actually want to break into Zhongshu Province privately at this time. Are you trying to fake the imperial edict?!
