The prince was abandoned and the king of the Northern War led an expedition to the west, and the court seemed to be much calmer. There are only three princes left around Anqing Emperor, but he begins to teach political affairs with him every day. Many people speculate that Anqing Emperor still prefers the third Prince to succeed to the throne. The officials who took refuge in Xiao Zhige were naturally a little anxious and visited frequently to ask for reassurance, but they were all turned away by an Changqing.

The door of the imperial palace in the Northern War was closed, and even the servants seldom went out except for what was necessary. Elite defense was arranged inside the palace, which almost turned it into an airtight iron bucket. Fortunately, when Xiao Zhige went to battle, the royal mansion refused to visit and did not see any foreign visitors, and today he came again, which would not arouse suspicion.

An Changqing is not idle in the house every day. He is now dealing with the news sent back by the spies, one after another, and he has to constantly adjust his original plan according to the latest news.

On the seventh day after Xiao Zhige left Beijing, the news of Anqing Emperor's serious illness and coma came from the palace. The whole hospital was alarmed, but it failed to find out the cause, and there was nothing we could do about it. On the contrary, the empress, who pined away because of the prince, did not understand the illness, and decisively invited several well-known doctors from the people to the palace for consultation, but just found the cause and called Emperor An Qing to wake up from his coma.

Only with this disease, Emperor Anqing was so weak that he could not even see the handwriting on the playbook. The throne of the crown prince is vacant, and there is no one to deal with political affairs, so the queen who serves the disease can only read the folding son, listen to the emperor Anqing, and then dictate the instructions and write the articles on behalf of the queen.

With this disease, the relationship between the emperors and emperors became more harmonious than ever before.

An Changqing received a secret letter from Ji Anmin, saying: the playbook of escorting abandoned Prince Xiao Qi Eucalyptus to the Imperial Mausoleum has not yet been approved, and the abandoned Prince is still stranded in Beijing.

An Changqing guessed that the illness of Emperor Anqing was probably a signal that the abandoned prince was about to cause trouble.

So a few days later, an official in the court played, saying that the abolition of the prince was too strange, or there was grievance, and asked for a retrial. At the same time, several officials jointly impeached Imperial Censor doctor Ji Anmin to form a party for personal gains and set up the crown prince. With Ji Anmin as the center, officials such as the Minister of Dali Temple were also affected.

After several days of sawing in court, Emperor Anqing fell ill again and fell into a coma. Finally, the Empress Dowager Zhao came forward to quell the dispute and ordered Prime Minister an Zhike and Dazhu Zhao Xinchong to thoroughly investigate the case of abolishing the prince.

Since then, the curtain of liquidation has been raised above the court.

The officials involved, such as Dr. Yushi and the minister of Dali Temple, were sent to prison one after another. Another five days later, it was found that the crown prince was having an affair with others. For fear of the discovery of the crown prince, he colluded with the royal doctor Ji Anmin to fabricate evidence to frame the crown prince. Since then, the case of abolishing the prince was completely reversed, and Emperor Anqing felt guilty and issued an edict to re-canonize Xiao Qi Eucalyptus as the crown prince.

On the other hand, Minister of the Guards Si Qing Jiang Yuzhong, the biological father of the princess, asked for the death of the princess and resigned three times to make an apology. However, the queen and the crown prince tolerated, not only did not ask for the crime, but felt the sincerity of Minister of the Guards Temple, allowing the crown princess to go to the temple to practice, and then designated the second daughter of the Chiang family as the successor crown princess.

However, in just half a month, the situation was completely reversed. Prince Xiao Qi eucalyptus was abandoned and once again took the position of supervising the country with the respect of the crown prince.

However, the storm in the former harem did not stop there.

First, the harem Shu imperial concubine's dormitory found voodoo, which was verified by the doctor, in which the demagogic poison coincided with the illness of Emperor Anqing. The Empress Dowager Zhao was furious and ordered the death of the imperial concubine Shu Guifei and the three princes under seclusion. Then Prime Minister an Zhike destroyed his relatives and revealed that an Changqing, Princess of the Northern War, had persuaded him several times to conspire to set up the crown prince.

After cutting off the dissidents of the imperial court, Xiao Qi-eucalyptus eagerly turned the butcher's knife to the palace of the Northern War.

Prime Minister an Zhike personally came to take people with the Guards.

The door of the palace of the Northern War was open, and an Changqing stood behind the door, and behind him was the elite camouflaged guard of the Yanzhou army.

An Zhi scrupulously wears vermilion red official clothes and ends up with elegance and elegance, and looks at an Changqing as a victor: "Changqing, don't blame your father for being ruthless."

"Prime Minister an came here with great fanfare. Why?" An Changqing stroked his sleeves slowly, as if he didn't know why he was here.

Anzhi's beard trembled and said with grief, "Don't you know that you have committed such a great crime?"

An Changqing confronted him tit-for-tat: "I don't know what crime I have committed." Where is the evidence of the crime? I also asked an Cheng to speak plainly to each other. "

Unexpectedly, he was still so arrogant in such a situation. Anzhi sank his face and said, "you have written to me several times, begging me to conspire with you to frame the prince and help the king of the Northern War to succeed." For the father can not bear to see you for your own benefit to build up the prince, just the righteousness to destroy the relatives. Won't you plead guilty? " With that, he took out a stack of letters and threw them in front of him.

An Changqing stood still, and the man on his side picked up the letter and handed it to him. An Changqing flipped through a few pages and sneered: "first, this letter is not in my handwriting, but it has been copied; second, the discord between me and Anjia is well known in Beijing. Is it not self-contradictory for me to ask the prime minister to conspire for great things?" Third, everyone knows that you and my father and son are at odds with each other, and what the Prime Minister said may not be framed by me. "

"the so-called charges are only the words of an Cheng on one side, and the so-called criminal evidence is nonexistent. Dare you ask the Prime Minister why he should convict me? I am a princess of the Northern War. Prime Minister Ann will not want to convict me in prison on the basis of these forged letters, will he? "

An Zhike did not expect him to be so eloquent, knowing that he could not get the upper hand in his mouth, and his eyes were slightly cold: "if he is guilty or not, he asked the princess to go with me and go to the imperial court to distinguish."

With a wave of his hand, he ordered the Guards to come forward and take the men.

"I'm afraid I can't follow orders for charges that don't exist." An Changqing stood still, but the guard behind him drew a knife and came forward to kill him, apparently to protect the Lord to the death.

"does the princess want to resist the will?" Anzhi scrupulously sinks in Yin.

An Changqing smiled and, seeing more and more people gathered outside the palace, slowly opened his mouth and said, "against whose will?" Do you want to abolish the will of the prince? His Majesty was in a coma when he was seriously ill, but the will of the palace came out one after another. The loyal and good minister went to Xing prison, but the unvirtuous man sat in the high hall. I was just going to ask the Prime Minister Ann, are you trying to rebel by falsely passing the edict? "

"presumptuous!" An Zhike was angry: "the princess is disrespectful against the decree, take it down for me!"

"I'll see who dares!" As soon as his voice fell, another cold voice was picked up, and the eldest princess came from the other side, with people blocking between an Zhike and an Changqing.

She held a golden whip in her hand, her eyes like a knife, and the golden whip clattered on the ground: "I'd like to see who dares to move!"

An Zhike was surprised and subconsciously took a step back. The eldest princess lives in seclusion, and many people have forgotten that she used to be arrogant and domineering. She is the only daughter of Empress Dowager Zhao and the favorite child of the former emperor. Because of his arrogant disposition and unscrupulous behavior since childhood, the former emperor was afraid that she would be bullied in the future, so he gave her a golden whip, which could be whipped except the empress dowager.

I didn't expect her to step in, knowing that she had a bad heart. Sure enough, she said, "your Majesty is seriously ill and unconscious, and I can't see the holy face. Whose will does the Prime Minister act on?"

An Zhi gritted his teeth and bowed: "your Majesty is seriously ill, and the prince supervises the country, naturally at the behest of the prince."

But the eldest princess snorted: "Xiao Qi eucalyptus messed up the palace, abused and killed the daughter of the people, and his disposition was cruel and unbenevolent." Such a tasteless and unscrupulous man has long been deposed by his elder brother. Now that you hijack your brother, fake your edict and confuse black and white, do you really think that the world is blind? "

As soon as her voice fell, she heard an uproar from the crowd gathered around her, followed by a low voice of discussion. There is fear and disdain in their eyes. An angry scholar hid in the crowd and shouted, "what the eldest princess said is absolutely true!" The king of the Northern War led the army to the west, but you took advantage of his absence to fabricate evidence to frame the princess, which is really chilling! "

For a moment, echoes were heard.

An Zhike looked back and motioned to the Guards to drive people away. The shouting people gradually dispersed, but the purpose of an Zhike's visit could no longer be achieved.

Taking a deep look at an Changqing, he waved and said, "Let's go!"

After waiting for someone to leave, the eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at an Changqing, worried: "Xiao Qi eucalyptus will not give up." If you can't do it openly, you may do it in secret. "

An Changqing did not expect her to come forward, and for a moment she looked a little complicated: "I already have a way to deal with it, but the eldest princess should not be involved." I'm afraid the Empress Dowager will blame it. "

Xiao Youxi smiled, looking a little bleak: "I understand the mother's mind, but I can't agree with her." Besides. Now that I have been confused for once, I am not going to be confused for a second time. "

An Changqing saw that she looked relieved and stopped doing unnecessary persuasion, invited her to the house for tea, went to see Xiao an Heng and brother and sister, and just sent her away. An Changqing hesitated before leaving, but told her to go out as little as possible these days.

Xiao Youxi stared at him for a moment, seemed to understand something, nodded and said, "I see."

The words of an Changqing and the eldest princess soon spread in the capital. There are a lot of actions in the court these days, and there are some people in the city who are in a panic, and the people don't understand the situation, but many scholars do-- this is a struggle for the throne.

If they did not know the crimes committed by the abandoned prince, they might have sighed privately about the struggle between the heavenly family. However, since an Changqing's words, there have suddenly been many songs sung by beggars in the city, and sin books printed by unknown people have been posted everywhere to explain clearly the crimes of useless Prince Xiao Qiehu.

For a moment, Xiao Qi eucalyptus's reputation fell to rock bottom. Many intrepid students wrote articles criticizing the crimes committed by the crown prince and exposing the ambitions of Empress Dowager Zhao and the wolf son of the Zhao family. At the beginning of this storm, Gui'de General Shu Lingting first launched an attack, leading troops to surround the palace, pointing directly at the Empress Dowager Zhao and Empress Dowager Zhao's hen Si Chen, hijacking the son of Heaven and plotting to harm the royal bloodline. The third prince in the forbidden palace was rescued by him and denounced the queen for plotting against the emperor with voodoo, but blamed the imperial concubine Shu Guifei. Intended to usurp the throne.

The confrontation between the two sides soon developed into an armed struggle. The site where Shu Ling stopped was in Yuzhou, and there were not many soldiers and horses in Beijing.

On the other hand, Xiao Qi Eucalyptus held 20,000 troops in Weiwei Temple and had the aid of Suhuaiyi in Pengzhou. This confrontation eventually turned into a unilateral bloodbath and slaughter.

The Shu family was slaughtered all over the house, and the third prince was beaten as a traitor and demoted to an owl behind a common man.

Immediately after that, a more thorough crackdown was carried out through the investigation of the causes of the rebellious parties.

The doors of the people in the capital were closed, and all the sin books posted were destroyed. all the students who might allude to the prince in their poems and articles counted the prison, and those who took the lead in causing trouble were immediately beheaded. It is obviously the height of summer, but the city is bleak in the cold winter, the wind is jittery, and everyone is in danger.

Changle Street was stained red with blood, and there were groups of guards patrolling with weapons.

The door of the Northern War Palace was so heavily guarded that even the servants could no longer go out. Fortunately, there was enough food in the house, so there were no restrictions.

An Changqing sits firmly in the government to arrange the dispatch of manpower. While listening to the spy's report, he picked up his pen and wrote quickly at the same time.

"are Lord Ji and several other adults all right in prison?"

The scout said, "I have suffered some flesh and blood, but my life is not in danger." Lord Ji told you not to worry, just stick to the plan. "

An Changqing nodded and said with a pen to circle several families: "these adults' mansions are secretly protected, and their families must be protected." In addition, they secretly sent part of the grain, but now they can't go out easily. As the days go on, they are afraid that they will run out of food. "

The two spies were ordered to go, and an Changqing asked, "how is it in the palace?"

"Emperor Anqing is still in a coma, and the abandoned prince seems to have regarded himself as the son of Heaven. I am afraid he will soon draw up an imperial edict to succeed to the throne."

An Changqing wrote briefly and mused for a moment and said, "if he wants to succeed to the throne, he will have to operate on the Northern War palace immediately and threaten the prince with me and the princess." If you give the order, the government will be on guard. Pull out all the firearms in the warehouse. A firearm team is formed by soldiers who are familiar with firearms and is hidden in the rear. If I'm right, I'm afraid they're going to do it tonight. "

With that, he put down his pen, rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "how long will it take for your Majesty to get back?"

"three days at the most." The guard leads the way.

"then we just have to make it through these three days." An Changqing said.

An Changqing explained some trifles again, and the commander of the guard was ordered to go down and arrange manpower. On the other hand, an Changqing swept away his face and turned to see the brother and sister Wei An Heng.

The grim situation outside did not affect the palace, the Xiao an Heng brothers and sisters are still led by the nurse to eat, drink and play every day, but they are a little fatter than before. Perhaps it is because of the blood that brother and sister speak earlier than ordinary children. after an Changqing patiently taught brother and sister for a while, they can already be called "father" and "father" very clearly.

After opening their mouth to say the first sentence, the brother and sister seemed to have discovered something new. They had to "father" or "father" every day. Only when an Changqing passed by would they be at peace for a while.

As soon as an Changqing entered the door that day, Xiao Anzhu pushed her brother away, and her soft and sweet voice shouted "Daddy".

An Changqing strode over, picked up the brother and sister and kissed each of them, and with some difficulty, she said, "it's a lot heavier again."

The two little puddles grew bigger and bigger. An Changqing only hugged them for a while and then couldn't hold them, so she could only put them on the blanket to play.

Xiao an Heng crawled over to his knee, grabbed his skirt and called "Father" while looking around, his big black eyes full of doubt.

An Changqing specially taught them that "father" is Xiao Zhige, and "father" is himself. At this time, Xiao Anheng leaned over and called "Father", obviously wondering why he didn't see Xiao Zhige.

He smiled and rubbed Xiao Anheng's little face, but explained earnestly, "Don't worry, your father will be back to see you soon."

Xiao an Heng seemed to understand, blinked and giggled again at his skirt and happily pasted an Changqing's face with saliva.

An Changqing coaxed the brother and sister to play tired. after they fell asleep, she asked the nurse to hold the brother and sister in her arms and, under the escort, went into the darkroom.

Tonight, I'm afraid, is destined to be a sleepless night.
