Chapter 35 Brewing

The cold wind whistled, and the cold air penetrated into the sleeves like a needle sting. In the corridor in front of Changxin Palace, the lanterns were dark, like ghost fires that could not sleep for a long night. There was no one in the corridor, and only a shallow shadow passed through the palace wall.

Although it was the cold weather, Hu Changren's back was soaked with cold sweat. He looked around nervously, opened his clothes, and lay a bright yellow silk book quietly in his arms. Hu Changren closed his eyes and exhaled a breath, calmed down, and walked out of Qianqiu's door.

After a long time of verbal remarks, the Empress Dowager's sister finally agreed to write the edict of decree. Whether it was the Empress Dowager's sister or Hu Changren, they actually had a ideological struggle when they turned to Gao Yan.

In fact, in terms of personal relationships, Hu Changren still likes Gao Wei, his nephew. When he was a child, he could pee in the same pot with him, but now...ah, Hu Changren looked at the floating lights ahead and felt a little sad.

[But, King Langya is right. If Wei'er does not abdicate, then my Hu family will definitely encounter a catastrophe!]

[In order to protect your own family, I can only sacrifice Wei'er...]

"He wants to depose the emperor? No, this is absolutely not possible, I won't agree!" In the Jade Buddha Hall, Empress Dowager Hu opposed it loudly in surprise.

The two sons were killed, which neither she nor Gao Zhan wanted to see!

Empress Dowager Hu pointed the finger at Hu Changren, "Brother, I call you Big Brother. Yan'er has such a thought. Why don't you dissuade him? You have to see their brothers fighting and blood flowing into a river, right? What's your intention?"

Hu Changren smiled bitterly and said, "What's wrong with me? The King of Langya is now on the string and has to fire it! The King of Langya has more than ten ministers who surrendered to him. Now the guardian of Qianqiu Gate, Kudifulian, is about to be conquered by him. How do you think Wei'er can stop the King of Langya?"

"What? Even Kudifu was throwing his head to Yan'er?" Empress Dowager Hu almost stood steadily. She held the naga with one hand and sat down slowly, her face pale. She could hardly imagine that she and Gao Zhan had been afraid that such a day would appear, so she finally decided to let Gao Wei inherit the throne and deliberately suppress Gao Yan, just to prevent such a day, but after all, this day was coming...

[Is this fate?] She thought in dishearteningly.

"Ha, Yan'er prepared so well... I'm afraid she had this intention very early on?" She understood that she could not stop her.

Hu Changren said silently. In fact, the discerning person in the court could see that the King of Langya has indeed been determined to hide his strength and keep a low profile in recent years, trying to fade out of Gao Wei's vision, but Gao Wei was still seen through, which forced Gao Yan to take risks.

Although it is risky, it is worth a try! If you win, you will win everything!

Hu Changren said earnestly: "It's over here and it's irreversible... Girl, just agree..."

"What if the Ai family doesn't agree? What if I go to Wei'er to tell him everything?" Empress Dowager Hu asked back, as if he was talking casually, but his sister knew about it after all, and Empress Dowager Hu was not a joke.

So Hu Changren pinched his beard and wrinkled his face into a bitter gourd, saying, "Girl, don't do this, what's the use of doing this? You're too late to tell Wei'er now, maybe Yan'er will do it in advance... Besides, even if Wei'er has the ability to suppress Yan'er, this is a serious crime of treason! He wants to kill the clan! Wei'er is no longer the Wei'er in the past. Even if Wei'er is the same as before, if such a thing happens, can Wei'er let Yan'er go?"

"...You have also seen what Wei'er has done these days. First, he killed Lao He, then offended the nobles, and then almost killed his own uncle. Now even Lu Lingxuan's wife has stood on Yan'er's side. Even if Yan'er does not have the intention of deposing and establishing her, Wei'er will not be able to sit steadily!"

"Think about it yourself, is Wei'er still the same to you as before?" Hu Changren almost used all his strength. This was the best eloquent time he had in his life. "Wei'er is different from the past! He will not be rude when he acts. If he continues like this, it will not be just our old Hu family. Sooner or later he will put the knife on Yan'er's neck!"

"Sister, I beg you. Even if you don't think about our family, you will also consider the country left by the late emperor. For Yan'er!"

Empress Dowager Hu was defeated by her psychological defense and cried, "What can I do? Wei'er will kill Yan'er if she wins, and Yan'er will never let Wei'er go if she wins!"

Hu Changren's heart moved and said, "I asked Yan'er this before coming. Yan'er promised repeatedly, saying that as long as Wei'er abdicates, he will never make things difficult for Wei'er. He will still be a prince of Taiping."

Empress Dowager Hu grabbed the last glimmer of hope and asked, "Really? That's what Yan'er really said?"

[Of course it's fake...] This is just a nonsense that Hu Changren wrote the edict to lie to his sister. Anyone who is a little more rational can figure it out. However, Empress Dowager Hu has been completely wiped out by sadness and panic at this moment, so she regards Hu Changren's words as the last straw.

"Brother, what you said is true? Yan'er is so guaranteed?" Empress Dowager Hu asked.

A trace of guilt flashed in Hu Changren's eyes, and he quickly covered it, and said without changing his face: "This is naturally, can I still deceive you with Wei'er's life?"

"..." Empress Dowager Hu seemed to have been drained of her last bit of strength. After a long time, she said: "Okay..., I'll write, come with a pen and ink..."

While he was in a conflict, he had already walked outside Qianqiu Gate. The soldiers guarding the gate did not even check their waist signs and didn't search their bodies, so they put his carriage over. Hu Changren lifted up the curtain and said in confusion: "Hey, how can Qianqiu Gate be so loose today?"

The imperial guard who was taciturn on the usual days said, "General Kudi specifically told me that it was the uncle's car driver without checking."

"Oh," Hu Changren closed the curtain.

[It seems that King Langya has convinced Kudifulian. Sure enough, Wei'er must not win this time...]

Hu Changren felt that he had stood in the right team and ordered the coachman: "Go to the Langya Palace!"

At this moment, in a dark room in the Langya Prince's Mansion, the candlelight was bright, and the Langya Prince and more than a dozen people were discussing affairs in the secret room.

"How many people can you mobilize in Yecheng?"

"Your Highness, I have more than 4,000 people in Xidaying, and you can all draw them!"

"Your Highness, I'm afraid it's hard to deal with me. The troops I can mobilize are now in Beidaying. Shangguan from Beidaying is Lanling King. There is no suitable reason, so I'm afraid it's difficult to mobilize..." a man frowned and said.

"Lanling King..." Gao Yan also frowned and thought for a while and said, "Don't take into account him. Lanling King is a good man to lead troops to fight, but if he is allowed to participate in the government, he will definitely not dare to do this destruction and establishment, let alone, he will definitely not dare to do it against us."

This is the consistent impression that King Lanling gave to people. In fact, it is true. King Lanling has always been docile and gentle as long as he is not on the battlefield. His sense of existence in the court is lower than his younger brother King Ande. He pursues the kind of self-protection and self-protection without seeking merit but without seeking nothing. Therefore, if King Lanling would turn against them, King Langya would not believe it.

"When the time comes, take out the empress dowager's secret edict and show him how dare he stop us?"

"So, Your Highness can mobilize no less than ten thousand people by then! Major events are expected!" said one person in surprise.

"Your Highness will become a saint!"

"I'm wrong, it's time to change it to Your Majesty!"

“Hahahahaha…”

"I'm afraid of the left prime minister..." A man worried: "I heard that the left prime minister will return to Yecheng in the near future."

The king of Langya said: "Gu has already thought about it... Gu will ask his mother to order the Dazai Duan Shao to return to Beijing and support Gu ascend the throne. By then, the general situation is settled. Hulu Mingyue (that is Huluguang, Mingyue is his face) even if he has a big wrist, he will be unable to turn the world back!"

"Prince, the uncle is here..." The old housekeeper appeared at the door of the secret room, and Hu Changren stepped in behind him.

"Your Highness, this is the Empress Dowager's secret edict." Hu Changren handed the edict to the King of Langya. Gao Yan couldn't wait to seize the edict, spread it out and looked carefully, and said happily: "The world is lonely!"

"Congratulations to Your Highness!" Everyone bowed down.

"When will your Highness take action?"

"No gift!" The King of Langya was filled with passion at this moment, but he looked calm and said, "The day after tomorrow is the year and the festival will come to the palace to pay homage. At that time, you can control all the officials. It's better... Well, it's the day after tomorrow! At that time, you can mobilize 10,000 people into Yecheng, and you will personally lead three thousand troops into the imperial city to join General Kudi. Hum? General Kudi has no objection, right?"

"I have no objection." Kudifulian said respectfully, as if he was completely subdued by Gao Yan. Gao Yan smiled and patted his shoulder armor, saying:

"Don't worry, I won't treat you badly if I win the throne!"

"Uh? Is there anything my uncle wants to say?"

"I have nothing to say..."

Hu Changren thought about it and finally swallowed the words of pleading for Gao Wei.
