Chapter 110 The Emperor's Death
Emperor Tiansheng fell back on the bed again, and this time he might never return to the court.
His illness could have been foreseeable, and no one felt sad for his fall. Like the Fourth Prince, he had long been looking forward to today’s arrival, and he couldn’t help but look at the palace in excitement. The direction, as if it was already in his pocket.
He remembered the edict that he had seen in the old room some time ago, and his name was written on it. The emperor's father was really good-sighted.
If the emperor father had directly told him that he would inherit the throne, in fact, he really didn’t need to do anything more to do so. Now he regrets it a bit, but he has done everything, and his father’s emperor has no major problems. He still lives according to the statement of the imperial physician. It was extended by one more month.
A few days ago, he was still worried about Tuesday and Shen Mingyun's affairs. Within two days, they came back. On Tuesday, they were finally relieved. They were all right, but it was a pity that the group of elite soldiers brought on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, Shen Mingyun and Shen Mingyun entered the capital quietly. After returning to the Fourth Prince’s Mansion, Shen Mingyun suddenly became low-key and depressed. The fourth prince was busy with the illness of Emperor Tiansheng, waiting to take him to the throne. Observation is too subtle, but he told him not to go anywhere in the house on Tuesday.
On this day, when he came back from the palace, he found that Shen Mingyun and Tuesday were living together peacefully. The two were sitting in the pavilion listening to a small song.
what happened?
The four princes couldn't help frowning. Shouldn't the two of them be incompatible?
Suddenly couldn't see Shen Mingyun chasing Fabiao on Tuesday, and seemed a little uncomfortable. What happened to them during the three days of escaping for their lives.
Logically speaking, given Tuesday’s ability, they shouldn’t get lost, and Shen Mingyun also has his own way, how could he suddenly say that he’s lost when he’s lost? An excuse to go the wrong way because of panic, so that I don't think too much.
Next, the four princes not only saw Shen Mingyun and Tuesday being able to live in harmony in the afternoon, but the three of them also had dinner together in the evening. The table was full of dishes that he and Tuesday liked. The four princes felt a little inexplicable, and Shen Mingyun planned to give up. Is he? He still had other ideas. Looking at the dishes at the table, he realized that his relationship with Tuesday was really not good, and it was quite embarrassing for the three of them to sit together.
However, Shen Mingyun said that this was to thank him for taking care of him for the three days on Tuesday. The reasons were all ready, and there was nothing to say about the four princes.
That night, the three of them got along very harmoniously, as they did before the accident, drinking and eating together.
Compared with the magical harmony in the Four Princes' Mansion, Luo Shuyu and Li Mingjin were worried about the Tiansheng Emperor.
After having dinner, Li Mingjin took his heavier and heavier son to play in the yard. When he had enough to play, he gave him to the mother to take him to take a bath. While sitting in the yard, he calmed down his relaxed expression. , Told Luo Shuyu solemnly: "The father may only be a few days away."
Luo Shuyu just finished cutting an apple and raised his head in surprise: "The doctor has come to a conclusion?"
Li Mingjin nodded: "Well, it's true this time."
Although Luo Shuyu didn't have any feelings with Tiansheng Emperor, it was strange to see an old man pass away. He called it emotion for the time being.
Unconsciously, their baby is already eight months old, and the time of Emperor Tiansheng is longer than expected, he should be content.
The illness repeatedly took away the energy of many people, and also made a lot of invisible contributions to Li Mingjin's great cause.
In the summer night, there was a small breeze and it was not hot. Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu fell asleep and talked.
Before we knew it, we ushered in the early morning of the second day.
After Emperor Tiansheng fell ill again, the early Zhaochao once again concluded that Li Mingjin and the four princes were arranged to work in Liubu by the sober Emperor Tiansheng. His meaning was very clear. Both of them were elected by the monarchs, and officials did not dare to neglect.
But also because of this, the people of the two factions have to fight in all aspects, and in a meeting, a small issue will be red-faced.
Li Mingjin looked impatient all the time, while the four princes had a confident posture and were not humble at all.
Over time, everyone is more inclined to the final winner will be the four princes, as for Li Mingjin's faction, it is becoming more and more low-key.
Today, for a tax meeting, it almost became the four princes.
Li Mingjin, who has never spoken, suddenly expressed his opinion: "I do not agree to increase taxes."
The four princes pushed the Ministry of Household’s expenditure to him this year: “Brother, this is the expenditure of the Ministry of Households this year, which is 20% more than in previous years. Without tax increases, the treasury will be empty. Payment of rations."
Li Mingjin swept the Huhu Shangshu who had turned to the Four Princes, threw the stack of papers that the Four Princes handed in front of him, and snorted: "Is the Huhu account clearly calculated? I don’t know how much taxes are paid each year. It's more than that."
The confident smile on Hubu Shangshu's face froze: "His Royal Highness, these are all real, and they are all the figures reported below, so the lower officials don't dare to make up their minds."
Li Mingjin drew out a piece of paper with the contents of taxation from Gucheng and said: "The amount of tax that Gucheng submits every year is just that? Which official did the record? The increase in the next tax revenue should be considered in the long term."
Hubu Shangshu was shocked by the look in Li Mingjin's eyes and did not dare to say nonsense: "The official must investigate this matter carefully."
Li Mingjin warned him coldly: "If I don't find it out within three days, I will personally check it. The tax that Gucheng submits every year is recorded, so don't make any tricks for me."
Hube Shangshu felt that his back was chilling, so he naturally didn't dare to do such a thing. It must be that the people below were sloppy, causing him to lose his face today.
This meeting doesn't need to go on anymore. A small problem with the Ministry of Households was picked up by Li Mingjin. If it hadn't been a special moment, the Ministry of Households would have been turned upside down long ago.
The four princes didn’t say anything anymore. The Ministry of Household was completely dragged down today. However, after he was firmly seated in the emperor’s position, he was determined to implement taxation. He heard Shen Mingyun say that an emperor once built a mausoleum of his own. He also wants to repair a magnificent mausoleum that will shock future generations. The first thing he needs for repairing these is money, and where the money comes from, naturally it is taxes.
Waiting, his third brother is not a problem now, everything is waiting for his father a hundred years later, he is patient!
Left Minister read the piece of paper Li Mingjin pulled out, and he couldn't help frowning. How could Hubu Shangshu make such a low-level mistake? Did he really treat the third prince as his sick cat? No matter who you support, you should do your own job well.
After the meeting, the four princes of Zuo Xiangxun said a few truthful words and mentioned the mistake of Hubu Shangshu again, but the four princes did not care, but he still perfunctorily said.
Left Minister always believes that details will determine success or failure. The current attitude of the four princes does not seem to be optimistic. On the other hand, the three princes can tell where there is a problem at a glance. The contrast is a bit big. He always feels that the recent state of the four princes is not quite right.
If according to Shen Mingyun's time, the behavior of the Fourth Prince can be understood as floating.
Did he know that he was the last person chosen by Emperor Tiansheng?
Seeing the four princes from the left, he couldn't help but shook his head. According to his current state, he didn't have the grace of a monarch at all. On the contrary, the three princes had more style and momentum, and his vision was unique and ruthless.
Left Minister sighed again, and went back to do his own thing.
The Chaotang has been turbulent recently, and no one knows what will be faced next. Every night, many officials will gather together to analyze the current situation of the Chaotang, and everything they do is to prevent themselves. The clansmen were caught up in the disputes between the court and the court, unwilling to be reduced to the cannon fodder of the power struggle. Of course, there are also people who want to make their family one step further through this team, and follow the future monarch to enjoy the glory and wealth.
The small actions of the officials are all in Li Mingjin’s eyes. His people are now growing and intelligence gathering is easy. He even knows what the four princes’ mansion is doing now. He also knows that the Tuesday that hid in the four princes’ mansion belonged to the four princes. Life-threatening talisman.
The reason why didn't win Tuesday right now was because it was not the time yet, and there was no need to get rid of the troubles, so let his fourth brother continue to have trouble for two days.
Recently, the management of the Three Princes Mansion has become stricter, and the Four Princes naturally wanted to send people into the Three Princes Mansion. As soon as the edict was issued, he would take his third brother and third sister-in-law in one fell swoop, and their sons could not let go.
It's a pity that the Third Prince's Mansion has its own set of entry and exit verification methods, and even the flies that only fly over from the Fourth Prince's Mansion can't get in.
The fourth prince was a little anxious now. He asked the emperor many times if the Emperor Tiansheng was about to fail. Like last time, he set off a dumb cannon, but the next day he went to the dynasty. Fortunately, he Did not take away the edict, otherwise it would be a steal
How to deal with his third brother? According to the current method, it is really impossible. Shen Mingyun also went in before and failed.
It was only after he became the throne to guard the Third Prince's Mansion with heavy soldiers. This method can only be used. He must not leave his third brother. This person is a future problem.
On this day, Luo Shuyu and Li Mingjin got up to wash as usual, and then had breakfast. They woke up in the middle of the night. Every time they got up after breakfast, Li Mingjin had already gone out. The little guy didn’t see it. Dad, but he is not wronged, there are many people playing with him, and he can see Dad at night.
However, he may not see Dad tonight, because Li Mingjin is a bit busy today.
After Luo Shuyu had fed and drank his rice batter, he received a message from Li Mingjin sent back.
Emperor Tiansheng died.
Anticipating this day early, Luo Shuyu immediately asked the housekeeper to prepare.
The emperor's death is a national funeral, and the whole world is unpredictable.
In the previous life, their family had not lived as long as the Emperor Tiansheng, and this was the first time to welcome the emperor's death.
The dark guard came back to pass on Li Mingjin's words to Luo Shuyu: "Master, your highness said, it is very dangerous now, let us protect you and the little master in the house."
Luo Shuyu worried about Li Mingjin: "Then what about him? What's the situation in the palace now? What about Concubine Mei and Concubine Wei Xian?"
The hidden guard replied: "The four princes sent heavy soldiers to encircle the palace. Concubine Mei and Concubine Wei Xian are now safe and sound."
Luo Shuyu asked the dark guard anxiously: "Where is your Royal Highness?"
The dark guard knelt down in a hurry: "Master forgive me! Your Royal Highness..."
The author has something to say: The third prince: Daughter-in-law, don’t worry, I will be hardened right away!
Luo Shuyu:...
