"Cough cough cough..."
After a violent cough, there were dots of blood on the ground.
An eunuch knelt on the ground and quickly wiped it clean with his head lowered. Then he stepped aside and threw the blood-stained white rag into a smokeless flame weapon in front of the emperor and turned it into ashes.
Yang Jian exhaled, half-closed his eyes and leaned on the pillow, his chest heaving violently, and bursts of burning pain from his lungs to his throat.
But Yang Jian could bear this kind of pain calmly, because it was nothing compared to the pain of the curse he had endured over the years.
"Your internal organs have begun to bleed. Should I stop taking this medicine for a while?" Yang Xiusheng brought today's medicinal soup, but he did not put it on the table, but continued to hold it in his hand. He knew very well that his hand was The harm of this bowl of decoction in this bowl, the reason why the emperor is coughing up blood now is largely caused by this decoction. This thing keeps people energetic while also devouring the little life they already have.
Yang Jian shook his head and stretched out his hand to signal Yang Xiu Sheng to hand the medicine to him. He knew his own condition best. Without this medicine, he would have to lie in bed and wait for death in a few days. This would put all his hard work over the years directly. All in vain.
What's the fear of death? It would be better to say that Yang Jian had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
Although Yang Xiusheng couldn't bear it, his reason prevailed. He knew that the emperor was choosing to use his own life to maintain the most important inheritance test of the royal family.
After drinking a bowl of medicinal soup, Yang Jian's face regained some energy, but it was horribly pale. There was always a chilling coldness in those sunken eyes.
"This medicine is actually not too unpleasant to drink once you get used to it. It tastes a bit like raw eggs." The emperor put down the bowl and smiled at Yang Xiu Sheng beside him. He was in a good mood.
However, Yang Xiusheng didn't respond. He didn't think raw eggs would be delicious. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Prince Jing came again just now and was blocked."
There are not many people in the palace who can block King Jing. Even the emperor's personal eunuchs sometimes can't stop him. But Yang Xiu Sheng can. Even the emperor in the palace will give him three points. King Jing naturally doesn't dare to be presumptuous, because even if he succeeds in succeeding to the throne in the future, We also need to rely on Yang Xiusheng to control the situation. Who dares to offend him?
"Again? Haha, everyone is filial now." Yang Jian smiled and didn't care. During this period, not only King Jing, but also several other princes came to ask to see him, but he asked Yang Xiu Sheng to block them all. They all came to greet them in such a uniform manner, which was so unexpected that Yang Jian found it funny.
Does the royal family have no family ties? Not necessarily, but family affection needs to appear after the big exam. Otherwise, who would let family affection interfere with their judgment in the face of life and death?
"It seems that you can no longer hide your physical condition. They probably want to find out your true identity." Yang Xiu Sheng knew the princes' plans very well. Because the emperor's physical condition directly affects the "big exam", if the emperor dies suddenly, let alone the "big exam", the entire Jingjiu Dynasty will be in chaos. This was not unheard of in the history of the Jing Dynasty, and it would only be called chaos at that time.
"I know it can't be kept secret forever. The queen, the eunuchs, the imperial doctors, the imperial chefs... they will always be able to tell the clues as time goes by."
"Then why don't you meet them together." Yang Xiu Sheng put forward his own idea. In his opinion, the emperor's physical condition was too bad, and now it was time to let the princes know what he was doing.
But the emperor waved his hand and said: "If Yang Wenguang wasn't around, maybe your idea would be good. But it's really inappropriate now. Once my situation is grasped by Yang Wenguang, the variables will be too great, so I can't see them. And This kind of atmosphere is rare, and it allows them to speed up the fight and get the result as soon as possible, so that I can go into the ancestral hall earlier."
Seeing that the emperor mentioned King Jin, Yang Xiu Sheng also frowned and said hesitantly: "There have been two reports from the Xuanqing Guard. It is almost certain that Yang Wenguang colluded with the evil monks and Yueying Tower, and even did Wang's business before. His death was most likely caused by him, and Lu Wangshang was just blamed. Are you really going to let Yang Wenguang run amok in the imperial city?"
To be honest, Yang Xiu Sheng was very puzzled by the emperor's behavior of increasing the difficulty of the "big exam". In his opinion, this is an extremely wrong and risky approach. Not only may it bring the "big test" to an unpredictable point, but it may also eventually make the situation in the Jingji Dynasty completely out of control.
Yang Xiusheng believed that the gains outweighed the losses. The worst case scenario may be that all seven princes are killed by Yang Wenguang, then the Jingjiu Dynasty will...
"Hahaha..." The emperor saw that Yang Xiu Sheng was a little nervous, but he was not anxious at all. Instead, he laughed and said after a while: "Yang Wenguang is not a reckless man. I have fought with him. How much does he weigh? It's very clear. And the foundation of our royal family is the unification. It is impossible for him to destroy this ancestral foundation just for revenge. I don't know his plan now, but I am sure that he has other plans. Otherwise, Qian'er's death will not be Put the blame on the fourth child.
He wanted to play a trick to trick Chen Cang, but it was a pity that Xuan Qingwei's nose was indeed very good, and Yang Wenguang's trick was noticed as soon as he could reveal his tail. Now, no matter how much I move, I am applauded.
So, uncle, you don’t need to be nervous. Things can't be messed up.
Besides, my sons are not fuel-efficient lamps. Don't look at them ganging up to attack the fourth child, looking like they are helping others to complain and are being taken advantage of. In fact, they should all be aware of it. It’s just that I’m not sure who intervened in the “big test”. "
Although Yang Jian was standing on the last stage of his life, his brain was not affected because of the decoction. The information from the Xuanqing Guardian allowed him to see the situation clearly. Compared to Yang Xiu Sheng, he was more truthful. No rush either.
Seeing the emperor say this, what else could Yang Xiusheng say? He is only in charge of Fenghong Villa, suppressing the fate of the royal family. He is more of a caretaker than a participant or intervention in the change of royal power. Only the emperor can decide everything.
There was silence.
Yang Jian trusted Yang Xiu Sheng, but that didn't mean that he would tell Yang Xiu Sheng directly about everything. At least he didn't express all his innermost thoughts regarding Yang Wenguang.
Yang Wenguang had become involved with an evil monk, and was destined to no longer be qualified to covet the throne. There was no precedent for a high-level monk to ascend the throne in the old Jing Dynasty. It is impossible for Yang Wenguang to be unclear. Furthermore, the emperor did not believe that Yang Wenguang showed up with the intention of ruining the "big exam" of the Jing Dynasty, because this was unreasonable. Unless Yang Wenguang has a hidden trick that can steal the fruits of the "big test".
What is this hidden trick? Yang Jian had a guess, but it wasn't time to ask yet.
