Li Jinyu noticed Zhong An's gaze, and confirmed his guess more and more: This is my person, don't worry.Zhong An lowered his head and replied respectfully: The old slave is in the imperial mausoleum, and he has only seen His Majesty's Long Yan, and he has never leaked the news to anyone.Li Jinyu nodded, understanding in his heart.Looking at Zhong An's appearance of answering to himself, the original Emperor Jingchang should know about this.Maybe it's some clues found when I sacrificed to the imperial tomb before.The tanuki changing the prince will inevitably not be known to too many people, and even only the sender and executor will know.Li Jinyu thought about it and decided to take a gamble.He opened his lips slightly: Zhong An, I still have some doubts about why she ordered you to change me in the first place?
Zhong An was a little surprised, and looked at Li Jinyu suspiciously, as if he didn't understand why he asked this question.Li Jinyu made a straight face: I want you to say it yourself.Zhong An trembled slightly, and replied obediently: Niangniang was angry at the beginning, for fear that His Majesty would be affected by him, so he changed His Majesty to the favored Queen Mother, and hoped that His Majesty would □□ Niangniang's hard work.Chapter 64 Squeak.Li Jinyu frowned, figuring out the meaning of Zhong An's words.In this way, it was indeed Concubine Zhong who ordered Zhong An to change the tanuki for the prince.Concubine Zhong slept in Jiaolan Palace without permission because she was not sealed, and the first emperor was forced to abolish her title; Concubine Zhong probably realized that it would be difficult for her to get up again in the future, so she wanted to plan for her children.Li Jinyu later looked through the records of Concubine Zhong's birth to a prince and found that Concubine Zhong was a prince who gave birth after being abolished.Presumably, it was also after she was pregnant that she was proud to do this.At about the same time, the current Queen Mother also gave birth to a prince, and Concubine Zhong thought about it.All the details were right, and Li Jinyu instantly understood why the Queen Mother had been lukewarm to herself.Presumably the Queen Mother found out about this from somewhere, but she had to grit her teeth and endure it, the Queen Mother was not in good health, and there was only one child of Emperor Jingchang under her knees.How can the queen mother and queen mother compare to the exclusive dignity of the first house?
And her own parents and concubines were buried in the cold palace together, which may also make the queen mother grit her teeth with hatred and anger towards the original body.Then everything is clear.After sorting out these rules, Li Jinyu's heart was slightly heavy.Although their hamster's family affection is very indifferent, there is still some pity for the original body and the prince who died early.One left his biological mother shortly after birth and died early before he was three years old; One grew up as a prince, but was snubbed by his mother, and he was poisoned by the despair, and gave up on himself.I don't know if the original body gave up on himself because he learned that he was not the queen mother's own Li Jinyu looked down at the old eunuch who had exchanged the two princes back then, trying to see a trace of uneasiness on his face, but he could only see the numbness and loneliness behind the dense wrinkles.The old eunuch has been sweeping the ground in the imperial tomb for more than ten years, and his hands have become very rough, and his speech is no longer very neat.Li Jinyu finally sighed and waved his hand to let Zhong An go down for the time being.The shock of knowing this slowly subsided, and Li Jinyu glanced sideways at Huo Caijin, who had been silent on the side.It is said in the original book that the Huo family sisters and brothers have a good relationship, and they have always stood on the same side in major matters.For such a thing as the emperor's identity is fake, how can you communicate with each other, right?
In this way, even if Huo Caiyu doesn't have that mind, he should have it!
Usurping the throne and seizing power, and becoming the emperor, won't he be able to forcibly seize the throne when the time comes, and won't he be crowned the queen?
Huo Caijin received Li Jinyu's eyes, nodded, and the voice hidden under the ghost face carried a hint of murderous intent: The minister went to deal with him.Li Jinyu: Wait?
Who are you dealing with?
Didn't Your Majesty ask the minister to kill Zhong An's mouth?
Li Jinyu: Huo Caijin went to the southwest, why was he suddenly so ruthless?!
Worried that Huo Caijin really wanted to kill Zhong An, Li Jinyu hurriedly explained: I don't mean that, Zhong An has been in the imperial tomb for more than ten years and has not revealed the news, so there is no need to deliberately cut the grass and eradicate the roots.Huo Caijin tilted his head, pondered for a moment, and nodded approvingly: Your Majesty Shengming.Li Jinyu saw her give up, breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help scratching her ears.How could Huo Caijin always fail to understand his words like her brother?
He couldn't say clearly that he was looking forward to Huo Caiyu coming to take his throne Huo Caijin didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly spoke up to comfort him: Your Majesty, don't worry, now that the emperor is the only one, even if there is really news to be revealed, no one dares to say anything.Even if you know that Your Majesty is not the Queen Mother's own child, what can you do?
Concubine Zhong and the little prince of the year are no longer there, and there is no second person to sit on the throne.Li Jinyu listened to this comfort and was even more unhappy.He coughed and hinted euphemistically: General Huo, the bloodline of my Dadi royal family is withering, it is really not good, and it may not be necessary to have the bloodline of the first emperor to succeed to the throne.Saying this would probably scare the royal family to death, which was the most obvious hint that Li Jinyu could think of.Fortunately, Huo Caijin is the only one in the room now, and she is still Huo Caiyu's sister, so she can't mess around.Huo Caijin listened to Li Jinyu's words, and was stunned at first, and then the whole person's temperament suddenly became much softer.She still said in a voice that was so hoarse that she couldn't hear the original tone: Your Majesty really thinks so?
Of course!
Although he was wearing a ghost mask, Li Jinyu still felt that Huo Caijin was looking at him steadily.After a while, Huo Caijin laughed in a low voice and said: Your Majesty looks at the world and does not stick to blood fetters, and the minister really admires it.Li Jinyu calmly accepted this praise and looked at Huo Caijin expectantly.Since you admire it, then hurry back and persuade your brother to usurp the throne!
As if he had a heart, Huo Caijin couldn't help but ask a question: Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know whether to talk about something or not.You said.Although the minister stayed at home, he also heard a lot of rumors that His Majesty and the regent would bring down the traitorous minister together.Huo Caijin raised his head, and there was a hint of confusion in his hoarse voice, although the minister was confident that his talent was not inferior to that of a man, he also knew that His Majesty gave the minister a chance to pacify the southwest for the sake of the regent's face.Li Jinyu didn't understand what Huo Caijin meant.Huo Caijin walked around for a long time, and finally raised his own question, the minister has always been curious why His Majesty treats the regent so much?
Even in the past, His Majesty gave power to Prime Minister Ye Cheng so much, but he just ignored it, and neither stopped Prime Minister Ye from being greedy for power, nor did he take the initiative to facilitate Prime Minister Ye.As for Huo Caiyu, His Majesty has 100% all-round trust, asking for power, the army, and money, and almost responds to requests.Even the emperor didn't care so much about the crown prince.Li Jinyu blurted out without thinking: Of course, it's because I think Huo Caiyu has the talent to govern the world!
Huo Caijin was slightly stunned, and the air pressure around her body suddenly decreased: It's just so?
Li Jinyu originally wanted to reply, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly paused.If he had just crossed over, or even half a year ago, he would have answered yes without hesitation!
That's it!
But now that I asked him this question, I don't know why I couldn't be so categorically sure.His trust in Huo Caiyu seems to have something more than being based on the original book.I thought that this superfluous thing was just cinnabar that had been soaked into the pond and would soon be washed away; However, with Huo Caiyu's confession at the gate of the Ninefold Palace in the middle of the night and the confession in the New Year's Palace, it seemed to become more and more intense, and all the flawless ponds were stained into a deep red halo.To this day, it seems that the only thing left to let Huo Caiyu ascend the throne is to get rid of the shackles of this person.Li Jinyu sometimes even feels that if he can freely transform into a hamster body, he and Huo Caiyu seem to be in a good state now.After a while, Li Jinyu came back to his senses from his messy thoughts, lowered his head, and muttered a little confused: I don't know.Even if he doesn't consider the issue of personal shackles, Huo Caiyu's needs for him are obviously not just the friendship of today's monarchs and ministers.After all, they will not be able to return to the tacit understanding and harmony they had before.If their relationship goes further, it is to wait for Huo Caiyu to ascend the throne and make him queen.Li Jinyu's ears were suddenly dyed with a hint of redness.The few days of fasting soon ended, and Long Yin and his party were also preparing to return to the capital.Huo Caijin seemed to be a little worried about Li Jinyu's mental state, and always found excuses to inadvertently go around him and talk about miscellaneous topics.Li Jinyu himself thinks it's okay, on the one hand, he has not fully taken on the role of Emperor Jingchang, and it is difficult to empathize with Emperor Jingchang; On the other hand, it is also because this incident does not actually have any impact on the current situation.The Queen Mother knew about it, and Emperor Jingchang knew about it, didn't she just come over after so many years?
Li Jinyu sat in the dragon chariot and looked at the scenery outside through the window.Winter is coming to an end, and the breath of early spring is approaching.From the capital to Tianqi Mountain, both sides of the official road are planted with Ogihua, the national flower of the Ogi Dynasty.Originally, Ogihua was just a weed on the side of the road, but when it was planted neatly, it still had a few different scenery.Li Jinyu stayed in the palace after crossing over, and by the time he proposed the new tax and secretly ran out of the palace, it was already late spring, and the flowers were defeated.This is the first time I have seen the flowers blooming all over the mountains.Bang!
Just as he was fascinated by it, a shadow appeared in front of the car window, and raised his hand to close the window of the dragon chariot.Li Jinyu was stunned for a moment, and he already heard Huo Caijin's solemn voice in his ears: Your Majesty, be careful, there are assassins!
Money!
Then there was a clanging sound of gold and iron pounding outside.Li Jinyu came back to his senses, and his heart suddenly became full of doubts, someone assassinated him?
Who is it?
Assassinating the emperor is a first-class rebellion, and without sufficient motives, ordinary people will never do it!
If he dies now, who will get the throne?
The first thought flashed through Li Jinyu's mind: Could it be Huo Caiyu?
However, he subconsciously rejected this possibility.There are thousands of ways for Huo Caiyu to usurp the throne, wouldn't it be better to force the palace to let him write the edict of the Zen throne?
On the way back to Beijing, Li Jinyu assassinated Li Jinyu, and subconsciously did not believe that Huo Caiyu planned to kill him.It hasn't been long since Huo Caiyu confessed, so he won't want to kill him so soon because of love and hatred, right?
Who else could there be besides Huo Caiyu, Li Jinyu couldn't help but be a little worried about the situation outside.When the Emperor came to the Tomb of the Eternal Emperor to pay respects, he would be escorted by the forbidden army, but the area surrounded by the forbidden army was far away, and it was impossible for ordinary assassins to come to Long Yuan.Since they are here, they will either be attacked by a large army, or they will be a lone assassin with high martial arts.Li Jinyu remembered that it was said in the original book that Huo Caijin's strategy of using troops to form a formation was extremely powerful, but his kung fu could only be regarded as barely getting started.He began to worry a little about Huo Caijin's safety.If Huo Caijin was injured or died here, I want to know how sad Huo Caiyu would be.Thinking of this, Li Jinyu couldn't help but quietly pushed the window open a gap.If Huo Caijin is in danger, he can still use his spiritual power to save him.Through the gap, Huo Caijin held a long knife in his hand, and the picture of slashing off the head of a man in black instantly caught Li Jinyu's eyes, startling him.Woo, is the Huo family's sister so cruel?
No wonder the Southwest Tusi Rebellion was swept away by Huo Caijin so quickly!
Li Jinyu patted his chest, trying to break free himself from the bloody hula scene just now.Stunned for a moment, Huo Caijin had already eliminated the last black-clothed assassin with another knife, walked to the side of Long Yuan, and said in a hoarse voice: Your Majesty, all the assassins have been beheaded.Li Jinyu came back to his senses: Well, General Huo is fine, right?
The minister has nothing to do, but also asks His Majesty to return to Beijing as soon as possible.Huo Caijin turned over and got on the horse, his hoarse voice was slightly anxious, and the capital was probably changing.Someone assassinated the emperor, so naturally he came prepared.Li Jinyu agreed to Huo Caijin's proposal without hesitation, and Long Yuan hurried towards the capital.When he arrived in the capital, Li Jinyu looked out of the car window and was surprised to find that the capital looked very stable, and the people were walking around the streets to celebrate the Dihua Festival, and there seemed to be no sign of rebellion.Could it be that the assassinations on the road were just incidents?
Huo Caijin obviously didn't think so, and looked around at the unfamiliar forbidden troops at the main gate of the capital, and his voice was more cautious: Your Majesty, be careful.Li Jinyu has always listened to the advice of professionals, obediently cowered in the dragon chariot and did not come out, and let Huo Caijin take him back to the palace.Originally, the emperor was supposed to sit in an open-top dragon chariot and go around the most crowded streets, as a sign that the Son of Heaven was happy with the people; However, this time the situation was treacherous, and Li Jinyu did not get out of the car until Long Yuan sent him outside the dormitory.As soon as he got out of the car, Li Jinyu felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.There have always been guards outside the emperor's bedroom, and after being rectified by Huo Caiyu at the beginning, they were all replaced by dedicated and responsible people.Those guards had been on duty outside the dormitory for a year, and Li Jinyu was already familiar with the past.Now the outside of the dormitory is full of strange faces.As a hamster spirit, Li Jinyu was very sensitive to the emotions of strangers, and immediately noticed that these strange guards seemed to be standing there straight, but in fact, their eyes were quietly on him.Huo Caijin, the ghost-faced general who was still guarding the chariot just now, has disappeared.Li Jinyu frowned, did not act rashly, and walked into the dormitory.In the dormitory, Chang Kangzheng was standing beside the dragon chair with a pale face, and when he saw Li Jinyu coming back, his eyes lit up, as if he had found the backbone: Your Majesty is back!
Li Jinyu sat down and frowned: What happened?
Outside the palace, the people celebrated, but inside the palace there was slaughter.The slave and maid did not know.Changkang's face was still a little frightened, and he barely suppressed his mind, not long after His Majesty left, the slave maid wanted to inform the celebrant and ask them to prepare the ceremony for His Majesty's return in advance, but he didn't expect to be stopped before he left the palace gate.The slave took a closer look, and all the guards outside His Majesty's bedroom were replaced by people she didn't know!
Changkang is the great eunuch beside Li Jinyu, and he can almost be said to be the highest-ranking person among the palace eunuchs.If the emperor's palace changed the guards, it would be impossible to change them without his approval.The newly replaced guards even dared to stop the people who came out of the emperor's dormitory, unless they could guarantee that they would not be reprimanded by the emperor in the future, they would never do such a self-defeating thing.The change of guards, Li Jinyu had noticed it before entering the door, and frowned, and then what?
The slave scolded them for being suspicious, and they would only say that they obeyed the order, and the slave asked them whose order they were obeying, and they said that Changkang's voice was lowered, and he spat out three words from his mouth with some uneasiness, Regent.
