Chapter three hundred and forty sixth tense
"Eunuch Li, why do you say that this edict is fake? Isn't this the handwriting of the father? This jade seal can also be fake?" The fourth prince asked sternly.
Li Deqing snorted coldly and said, "So what if the handwriting and jade seal are not fake? But things are dead, people are alive, the emperor is in seclusion and can come out in two days. Everything will naturally be clear at that time? The fourth prince is so anxious, and he takes out this will to break into the palace. Is it because he intends to usurp the throne?"
The fourth prince roared in anger: "Bold eunuch slave, what are you? You dare to slander me like this with red mouth and white teeth!"
"Although our family is just a small eunuch, the emperor's personal order, Eunuch Bingbi, also serves as the chief supervisor of the Eunuch's Office. Now the fourth prince's intentions are ill-gotten and endangers the safety of the emperor. Even if our family is weak, they will not surrender. They will still keep the emperor to death." Li Deqing acted like a loyal minister and was mighty and unyielding.
The Fourth Prince was cared for by Empress Zhao too thoroughly and had no experience in handling this matter. Moreover, he knew that the will was fake, so he was inevitably a little guilty. At this time, Shoufu Jiang asked: "Fourth Prince, how can you ask where did you get this will?"
"It was someone who secretly passed it to me on the order of his father." The fourth prince replied.
Li Deqing immediately asked, "Who is who?" He looked at it just now. The marks on the seal were very new, and it emitted a faint fragrance from the palace. The ink with this fragrance was replaced in the past few days, which means that the jade seal was covered in one or two days. However, in the past two days, the emperor had only woken up for a quarter of an hour and had no time to write the will. If he had just suspected it before, then now he could be sure that the will was fake.
The fourth prince showed hesitation.
"It's time now, why doesn't the Fourth Prince tell who is coming? Let everyone see who is deceiving everyone and their intentions are ill-intentioned." Li Deqing had the confidence to shout.
Rui Nianen held her arms and looked at the Fourth Prince coldly, seeing how he answered this question?
"That person is me." A voice rang behind the person.
Li Deqing felt that his voice was very familiar, but for a moment, he couldn't remember who it was, so he turned his head and asked, "Who is it?"
The eunuchs made way out at the same time. A man in the same eunuch's conscience came over. Rui Nianen frowned. How could it be him? He was actually the queen's person, which was a bit unexpected.
Li Deqing narrowed his eyes, "Wang Sheng."
Wang Sheng was the eunuch in charge of seals and the first person in the eunuch's mansion, but Li Deqing began to serve the emperor since the emperor's residence, and was more favored by the emperor than Wang Sheng. Li Deqing was also the chief supervisor of the eunuch's mansion, who should have been the one who was supposed to be the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was supposed to be the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was supposed to be the one who was the one who was supposed to be the one who was the one who was supposed to be the one who was the one who was supposed to be the one who was supposed to be the one who was supposed to be the one who was supposed to be the one who was supposed to be the one who was supposed to be the one who was supposed to be the one who was supposed to be the one who was supposed to be the one who was supposed to be the one who was supposed to be the one who was supposed to be the one who was supposed to be the one who was supposed to be the one who was supposed to be the one who was supposed to be the one who was supposed to be the one who was supposed to be the one who was supposed to be the one who was supposed to be the one who was supposed to be the one who was supposed to be the one who was supposed to be Li Deqing died without a place to be buried.
"Eunuch Wang, are you talking about it? When will the emperor hand over this edict to you?" Li Deqing asked with a cold sneer.
"At the beginning of the year, the emperor was infected with the cold and had insight into your exclusion of dissidents and was specialized in the government. In order to prevent you from causing harm to the world, he wrote this will and handed it over to our family. He also told us that if you have any abnormal movement, he would try to pass this will to the fourth prince to ascend the throne and become emperor." Wang Sheng said very well.
Li Deqing laughed up, "Wang Sheng, you are full of lies and talk nonsense."
Wang Sheng sneered without showing any weakness: "Li Deqing, why do you accuse our family of lies and nonsense? You are the one around the emperor, and our family is the same. Our family is still above you. You have let down the emperor's trust and our family is ordered in danger. Yesterday, the emperor did not come out of seclusion, and you are strange in your behavior. Only then did our family send the edict out according to the emperor's instructions and hand it over to the fourth prince."
"That's true, otherwise why would I be so anxious to ask for my father? Seeing this will, I was very sad. This shows that my father's situation is critical and there is almost nothing wrong." The fourth prince answered at the right time, "When I saw the edict, Li Deqing, a convict of the eunuch, had to shirk responsibility, which shows that he was sinister; if the father had something happened, he was deliberately concealed by the traitor, and we would sit back and wait and see, and we would become a sinner of Dafeng. Sir, please put the safety of the father first. If the father is safe and sound, I am willing to bear the consequences with all my strength."
Rui Nianen and the ministers turned to Li Deqing. The ministers felt that Wang Sheng and the fourth prince were right, but they had their own plans and were unable to make up their minds, and were still hesitating. Rui Nianen's lips curled up and showed a sarcastic smile. If he hadn't known the truth, he would have believed Wang Sheng's words.
Li Deqing's expression remained unchanged and said, "Wang Sheng, we are too lazy to tell you if you say anything, open your dog's eyes and go and see the edict."
"Li Deqing, don't delay time here, Fourth Prince, please." Wang Sheng said sideways.
The fourth prince looked happy and said loudly: "Sir, please follow me in to save the emperor."
Whether it is neutral or the ministers who are leaning against the Yan King, in this case, they cannot retreat any longer and have to follow the fourth prince. Seeing that the situation is not good, Li Deqing shouted: "Children, guard the palace gate, and must not let some traitors disturb the emperor's retreat."
The eunuchs had been waiting at the door for a long time. With Li Deqing's order, they immediately pulled out the sword on their waists. Seeing this, Wang Sheng immediately said: "Commander Rui, Long Tingwei is the emperor's personal guard. If you don't kill the traitors and rescue the enemy, when will you wait?"
"Eunuch Wang is right." A smile flashed across Rui Nianen's eyes. Things went as he expected. He raised his hand, "Brothers, do it."
"Commander Rui, are you trying to make a fuss for the tiger?" Li Deqing didn't want to face Long Tingwei, and the civil officials and military generals fought, and the result was imagined.
"Eunuch Li's words are wrong. Long Tingwei is the emperor's personal guard. He takes it as his responsibility to protect the emperor's safety. The fourth prince holds the will and the prince testifies. It can be seen that the emperor is on the verge of extreme danger. In order to see the emperor and confirm the emperor's safety, Rui has to take action." Rui Nianen showed off his attitude that he was forced and he did not want to fight.
Li Deqing was in a difficult situation, and the eunuchs were no match for Long Tingwei at all, so he couldn't stop them. The ministers whispered, "I didn't expect that if I came out to escape the summer heat, I would actually cause such a thing, which is really troublesome."
"The Fourth Prince, the Eunuch Mansion, and the Long Tingwei, this situation is really chaotic."
"Why haven't the King of Yan come yet?"
"If there is such a big disturbance, the King of Yan should be coming soon."
While speaking, the King of Yan arrived. Several princes and a group of imperial guards followed him. The King of Yan narrowed his eyes and shouted loudly: "Fourth Emperor, what are you doing? Is it a rebellion?"
Seeing the King of Yan, the fourth prince's pupils suddenly shrank, he held the edict in his hand tightly, and said, "Brother, don't put a hat on me randomly. Come and see what this is?"
The King of Yan sneered, "It was just a fake will that you made to force the palace to usurp the throne. I don't want to see it." Although he knew why a will suddenly appear, he knew very well that no matter whether the will was true or false, he would consider it as false. He originally thought that he could succeed the throne without using force, but now it seems that it is not possible.
"Brother, it's useless to be stubborn, facts are facts." The fourth prince knew that he had no way out.
The King of Yan was unwilling to have a lip dispute with him, and said loudly: "Commander Chen, help Eunuch Li and the others to take down these traitors!"
Chen Hai, the commander of the Imperial Guardian, was the nephew of Mrs. Pei Guogong's wife. The king of Yan was promoted by the king of Yan. When the king of Yan ordered, he immediately responded: "Yes."
But at this moment, footsteps came again, and people wearing Yulin Army uniforms arrived. Wu Shan, commander of the Yulin Army, clasped his fists at the fourth prince and said, "I heard that the emperor was harmed by the treacherous slander, so I came to rescue him."
The fourth prince was stunned for a moment and immediately realized that the Yulin Army was called by her mother, pointed at Chen Hai, and said, "Commander Wu, take down these rioters who intend to rebel."
"Receive the order!" Wu Shan turned around and stared at Chen Hai, his eyes full of fierce light, "Everyone, take down the traitors and save the emperor!"
Chen Hai was not willing to be outdone and shouted: "Brothers, come on to me and wipe out these rebels who forced the palace to usurp the throne."
On the side of the Eunuchs Office and the Imperial Guards, and on the side of the Yulin Army, the two sides fought together; the ministers hurried aside and were in a dilemma. They could no longer get involved in this matter. When the winner was decided, they would come out to support the new king.
The Imperial Guard and the Yulin Army were evenly matched, and the eunuchs should not be the opponent of Long Tingwei, but the two sides fought equally, which was a bit strange. Time passed slowly in such a fierce battle. With a scream of "ah", an Imperial Guard was cut off by an opponent.
"Puff" A Yulin Army cut off its throat by its opponent, and blood spurted out. It was almost noon, and the sun became hotter and hotter, baking the earth, and the fight continued, the smell of blood became more and more intense, and both sides were injured. Looking at the blood on the ground and the corpses on the other side, the ministers were a little numb, and knew that even if the victory or defeat was reached, blood would definitely flow into a river.
"Master, we can't hold on for too long." An eunuch wiped away the blood that splashed on his face and retreated to Li Deqing and said.
Li Deqing looked at Taoist Master Huichun, "Tao Master, what should I do now?"
Taoist Master Huichun thought for a while and whispered: "I have someone to call Zhou Yuan to find him. Now I can only find a way to wake up early." They did not expect that the Fourth Prince would have a will in his hands, which would lead to the current dilemma. They had actually turned against the Fourth Prince completely. The person who ascended the throne must be the King of Yan, otherwise they would be dead.
Li Deqing attracted his confidant, "You slip out from behind, go to Liu Fangyuan, and bring Zhou Yuan in."
After Zhou Yuan gave the emperor an injection that day, Li Deqing kept him for convenience. It was not difficult to find him now. Li Deqing and Taoist Master Huichun calculated that the time was similar, retreated to the hall and headed straight to the emperor's bedroom. Seeing Zhou Yuan's verdict, the two felt relieved. He took him in to take the emperor's pulse, and Li Deqing said anxiously: "Mr. Zhou, the situation is urgent. Can you wake the emperor up in advance?"
"But yes, it's just..." Zhou Yuan verdict stopped talking.
"It's just what? Lord Zhou said, as long as our family can do it, our family will do it for you." Li Deqing thought that the Zhou Yuan verdict wanted to get benefits.
"Eunuch Li, you misunderstood. I have nothing to do. Eunuch Li, to be honest, the emperor is just hanging his tone with a silver needle. I have said before that even if the emperor wakes up, he will last for a quarter of an hour at most. If he wakes up in advance..."
"Can't you even last a quarter of an hour?" Li Deqing asked in surprise.
"This is not, but in a quarter of an hour, the emperor will bleeding from his orifices. Eunuch Li has thought about how to explain to the ministers at that time?" Zhou Yuan asked.
Li Deqing's face changed drastically. It was difficult to explain this matter, but now that he has done so, he can only take one step at a time, make a point of mind, and said, "Mr. Zhou, please help the emperor apply a needle."
Zhou Yuanzong nodded, took out a silver needle from the medicine box, and stabbed it on the emperor's Renzhong acupoint, the second needle was on the Yintang acupoint, and the third needle was on the Baihui acupoint. After the first two needles were prived, the emperor had no reaction. After the third needle was prived, the emperor's eyebrows moved.
Seeing that the judging Zhou Yuan stopped, Li Deqing asked anxiously: "Mr. Zhou, that's all?"
"It's OK." Zhou Yuanzong looked at the emperor with his eyes closed, his eyes were complicated.
"Master Zhou, when can the emperor wake up?" Li Deqing was anxious. The situation outside was already very bad. The earlier the emperor woke up, the sooner the battle outside could be stopped.
"After an hour, remove the needle and the emperor can wake up." Zhou Yuanzong replied.
It took another hour, and I didn't know if the people outside could hold on. Li Deqing was worried, but he could only wait patiently. The little eunuch came in from time to time to report the situation outside to him. Long Tingwei began to take ruthless actions. The people in the eunuch's mansion were retreating step by step. The Imperial Guard was entangled by the Yulin Army and could only protect themselves and could not lend a helping hand. The eunuchs could last for at most half an hour.
"Emperor, long live the emperor." Li Deqing tried to wake up the emperor.
"Eunuch Li, it's useless." Zhou Yuanshou shook his head and said.
Li Deqing sighed heavily. After a while, the little eunuch hurriedly ran in and said, "Master, there are not many people left in our country, and the people from Long Tingwei are about to rush over."
Zhou Yuan ordered to take off the silver needle, and Taoist Huichun said, "Mr. Zhou, please avoid it." Zhou Yuan ordered here, and lies will be misleading.
The magistrate Zhou avoided it without asking much. After a while, the emperor woke up, opened his eyes, and looked at Taoist Master Huichun who was happy and looked at the joyful Taoist Master, "Master, what's wrong with me?"
"Congratulations to the Emperor!" Taoist Huichun said with a smile.
"Where does the joy come from?" the emperor asked in confusion.
"Your Majesty, you have entered the state of unity between man and nature, and you have attained enlightenment and become an immortal!" Taoist Master Huichun said with a smile.
The emperor's eyes lit up and he asked, "Are you serious?"
"I dare not deceive the emperor. Your Majesty, you are already a half-immortal body. At most, a messenger from the Immortal World will pick you up to the Immortal World and listen to the teachings of the Immortal Lord. After learning the magic of immortals, the Emperor will be able to come down to earth and return to the world and enjoy the world forever." Taoist Huichun wrote a lie, which was quite good. Li Deqing's mouth twitched slightly. He was really a charlatan. He could also say such lies, and it seemed that he was true.

Note: Although I have been acupuncture for a long time, I have recorded the acupuncture points clearly, but I don’t know whether the three acupunctures that Zhou Yuan judged in the article to wake up a person. I don’t know. I wrote this, so everyone will read this way. Please do not examine it.
Thank you Xiaoyang, thank you Yu'er.
