The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 492 The Decree
The emperor felt extremely annoyed after hearing the words of the Supreme Emperor.I acted too hastily this time, and Jia Ke, who was already in control, had a justifiable opportunity to move.

He was annoyed there, but the Supreme Emperor was even more annoyed than him. It can be said that his life was a failure.I thought I could see people very clearly, but I didn't expect that I hadn't seen through people's hearts all this time.

When the prince rebelled against him, his confidant Huo Tu followed the prince to rebel against him.After that, he promoted Jia Ke himself, thinking that he was loyal to him.Who knows that this is a truly ambitious person.After he took control of the military power, it was too late for him to react.

The only way the Supreme Emperor can think of now is to temporarily appease Jia Ke and let him become a powerful minister, and finally after Jia Ke dies, let the descendants of the royal family make a comeback.Although the Supreme Emperor knew that this chance was slim, it was the only way at present.

While the two generations of emperors were complaining and sighing here, Dai Quan, who was standing aside, knew that the situation had reached a critical moment. If he hadn’t sent the decree to Jia Ke before Jia Ke’s mercenaries came to the capital, I’m afraid that once the capital There was a mutiny, and Jia Ke himself would not be able to control the situation.Even if Jia Ke didn't want to usurp the throne, the people under him also wanted to be the founding fathers.

So Dai Quan hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The Supreme Emperor, the Emperor, I don't know if I should say something or not."

The Supreme Emperor glanced at Dai Quan and said, "You old fellow, just tell me what's going on. Now you are the only one who can come up with an idea."

When Dai Quan heard the Supreme Emperor's words, he was so moved that he knelt down on the ground and said in a crying voice: "The Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty, things are in crisis now, we can't let Jia Ke lead the troops into the capital, otherwise things will get out of hand. Your Majesty, please issue an order immediately and send eunuchs to deliver the order to Jia Ke's camp."

When the Supreme Emperor heard this, he immediately understood what it meant. If the decree reached Jia Ke's camp at this time, then Jia Ke might restrain himself when he saw the emperor making such a big concession, and the generals under him might not Can make trouble.

The Taishang Emperor glanced at the Emperor and said: "You should send someone to send the order to Jia Ke's camp now, without any delay."

The emperor also understood Dai Quan's meaning, and now the decree is only to hand over the power to Jia Ke, if he waits for Jia Ke to take it, maybe even his life will be handed over to him.

The emperor did not delay, and began to write the will in the emperor's palace.

But this time the emperor felt that the pen in his hand was heavy, and he knew that as long as he made this will, he would have nothing to do with power in this life.

But for his own life, for the sake of his ancestors, he could only endure such humiliation.

After a while, the emperor wrote the decree, and then brought it to the Supreme Emperor for him to read.

But I don't know if it was intentional, or the emperor was negligent, and the emperor didn't write the imperial decree about the abolition of the empress.

After all, the Supreme Emperor was old, so he thought this matter was not the most important thing, and thought that after the emperor's major affairs were settled, the empress would be abolished and Jia Yuanchun established, so he didn't take it to heart.

Under the support of Dai Quan, the Taishang Emperor raised his body and looked at the decree, only to see that it did as he ordered, and it read: Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, and the imperial edict said: Jia Ke's meritorious service is outstanding and shining in the history books. Now that he has returned from the Northern Expedition, he is specially named Jia Ke As the prime minister, he also takes the post of general, and handles all important military and state affairs on my behalf. In the future, there is no need to report to me, and he will be directly sent to the prime minister to get along with him.This is it.

The Supreme Emperor nodded after reading it, and then waved his hand feebly, which meant to send out the imperial decree as soon as possible.

The emperor turned around and said to Xia Shouzhong, "Who in our palace is closer to Jia Ke?"

Xia Shouzhong thought for a while and said: "Jia Ke has never had any contact with anyone in the palace. If it is said that they are relatively close, there is only Gao Quan, the head of the Qianqing Palace. This person has sent Jia Ke several times. He also has some contacts with Jia Ke. .”

After listening to the emperor, he immediately ordered, "Let this Gao Quan deliver the decree."

After the emperor finished speaking, he handed the imperial decree to Xia Shouzhong, which meant to let him do this matter.

Xia Shouzhong was a little helpless after receiving the imperial edict, and slowly withdrew from the Supreme Emperor's palace.He breathed a sigh of relief when he came to the courtyard of Ningshou Palace. It was too depressing just now in the palace of the Supreme Emperor.

Xia Shouzhong sighed. He thought that the third prince would be able to suppress Jia Ke when he became emperor, but he did not expect that Jia Ke would make it happen.

After Xia Shouzhong sighed, he took a few young eunuchs and hurried to Qianqing Palace.

The emperor felt very uncomfortable watching Xia Shouzhong leave Ningshou Palace, because he knew that once this imperial decree was spread, he would really be alone.

The Taishanghuang saw the grief and indignation on the emperor's face, coughed, and then said: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, there is still one thing I haven't told you, I wanted to wait, and I will tell you in detail when I die. Now it seems the time has come."

After the Supreme Emperor finished speaking, he waved his hands to the people around 4 weeks, and the maids and eunuchs in the Supreme Emperor's bedroom immediately retreated.

Only the Supreme Emperor, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor are left in this palace.

But the Supreme Emperor did not speak immediately, and said to the Empress Dowager next to him: "I feel that the ginseng soup is not enough, you can boil some more for me."

A cold light flashed in the Empress Dowager's eyes, and she understood what it meant, so she stood up and silently exited the bedroom, leaving the entrance to the father and son.

Seeing that all the people had gone out, the Supreme Emperor called the emperor to his side, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "There are still ghosts and gods in this world, and in the underworld, our ancestors have already laid a good foundation. A large piece of foundation, as long as it is passed down from the dynasty and supported by the ancestors underground, you will be able to tide over the difficulties."

After the emperor heard it, he was already dumbfounded. Although he knew about some ghosts and gods, this is the first time you heard that their ancestors had established a foothold in the underworld.

So the emperor asked impatiently: "Why didn't the ancestors protect our world, except for the scourge of Jia Ke?"

After hearing this, the emperor looked sad, "Now the secrets of the heavens have changed, and the ancestors are also incapable of dividing themselves. Besides, the underworld cannot directly interfere with the affairs of the world, and can only get rid of Jia Ke's seniors in the underworld for us. I will not discuss this matter with you." Having said that, after Zhen collapses, you will naturally understand when you go to the Fengxian Hall to worship your ancestors."

After the Taishanghuang finished speaking these words, he was exhausted, closed his eyes, and refused to say another word.

Besides, when Xia Shouzhong arrived at Qianqing Palace, it was already in chaos.

Ever since they knew that the Imperial Palace was surrounded by the Imperial Army, these people knew that something was wrong.So many people began to find their own way.And Gao Quan and Jia Ke have dealt with each other several times, and they have some sympathy, so there are too many people who come to him to intercede.

When Xia Shouzhong entered the side hall of the former Qing Palace, Gao Quan was being surrounded by a group of eunuchs to compliment him.

Xia Shouzhong coughed beside him, which attracted their attention.Everyone watched Xia Shouzhong come and was startled.But immediately his face calmed down again.These eunuchs in the palace are the most down-to-earth eunuchs. If it was before, they would come over to greet Xia Shouzhong one by one, but now that Jia Ke is about to hit the capital, who is going to deal with this eunuch who is not good with Jia Ke? Still in the eyes.

Only Gao Quan knew that Xia Shouzhong still had some rights, so he came forward to salute him and said, "Director Xia is here at Qianqing Palace, what do you want to tell me?"

Although Gao Quan saluted Xia Shouzhong now, he didn't have the fearful expression on his face like before.There was even a hint of arrogance on his face.

Watching Gao Quan also understand the current situation, he has dealt with Jia Ke several times, and he has helped Jia Ke. It's the same, he and Jia Ke are life-and-death rivals, if there is a slight discrepancy, their lives will be lost immediately.

Xia Shouzhong didn't care about this either. After all, a shedding phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken, so he smiled and said to Gao Quan: "Gao Gonggong, this time the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor asked you to run errands. Send an imperial decree to Lord Jia Kejia In the camp."

After Xia Shouzhong finished speaking, he sent the imperial decree to Gao Quan.

Gao Quan didn't dare to be negligent when he heard that it was an imperial decree. After receiving it with both hands, he asked cautiously: "Eunuch Xia, what does the emperor mean by this? Let me have a score in my heart, otherwise I won't know what to do when I see Lord Jia." How to tell."

Xia Shouzhong felt that there was no need to hide it now, and said to Gao Quan: "Anyway, you should take a look for yourself first, and be prepared when you meet Master Jia."

Only then did Gao Quan carefully open the imperial decree. He was both surprised and happy when he saw it. He was surprised that the emperor had handed over all the power of the imperial court to Jia Ke. He was happy that he had some contact with Jia Ke over the years. If Jia Ke takes charge of the imperial court, his status will also rise.

After reading the imperial decree, Gao Quan carefully rolled it up again. This time he raised his head, and saw that the last trace of caution just now was gone in his hands.

"Grandpa Xia, since this is the case, I won't delay any longer. I will take people out of Beijing in a while to pass the decree to Mr. Jia's camp. However, I have been staying in the capital all the time, and I don't know the specific marching route of Mr. Jia. I need Eunuch Xia to send someone to give me advice." When Gao Quan said this, he straightened his back and put himself on the same level as Xia Shouzhong.

Xia Shouzhong saw how successful Gao Quan was, and wished he could be dragged out and beaten to death right now.But he didn't have the guts.If the emperor was in power in the past, disposing of Gao Quan was like crushing an ant.But now that Jia Ke is about to return to Beijing to take power, this eunuch who has a pretty good relationship with Jia Ke.According to the past situation, he will definitely become the most powerful person in the harem.How dare I offend him now.

So Xia Shouzhong said with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, Eunuch Gao, I'll send a few people from the hidden guards to escort Eunuch Gao all the way to Lord Jia's camp."

Gao Quan nodded, and then said to the wives and supervisors around: "Everyone, that's it for today. The emperor has made Mr. Jia the prime minister, and he is also in charge of the general. I will go to Mr. Jia's camp to pass the decree to him. Let's talk again when I get back."

The eunuchs around were also quite surprised when they heard Gao Quan's words, but everyone had already expected Jia Ke to be in power, so they didn't show any different expressions, but they didn't expect the emperor to compromise.

But in the eyes of everyone, the emperor was just dying. Even if Jia Ke agreed, those under him would not let the emperor go so lightly.
