Chapter 682: Shocked and angry
The Empress Dowager looked at Cao Yi who was kneeling in front of her and her face turned pale, "Cao Yi, Li treats you very well. Cao's family has been prosperous for hundreds of years, have you forgotten?"
Cao Yi bowed heavily: "Empress Dowager, because the court treated me Cao, I, Cao Yi, could not bear to see the Li royal family sinking. Eight years ago, the empress dowager helped the uncle to seek the throne, and Cao Yi was unwilling to be in a state of deterioration in the world of Dayue. He disagreed with General Guan, and ignored the will of the late emperor and helped the uncle ascend the throne. But eight years have passed, just as the late emperor expected, the uncle is not the right person in this position. As the Dayue form deteriorates day by day. By now, it is time to collapse. Danyu no longer has any choice. If this civil war continues, it will not only be the old man, but also the entire Dayue world."
The empress dowager beat the armrest of the chair and her eyes widened, "Even if the world of Dayue is destroyed, so what? Dayue is my Li family's. What should I do to him is my Li family's business."
Cao Yi shook his head firmly, "Da Yue is not only from Li, but also from Cao, and also from all the heroes and relatives who helped the founding emperor to conquer this country. We will never allow him to collapse."
The Queen Mother's face became paler and turned pale, "Then why did you choose the son of that bitch instead of Jian'er?"
"We have chosen, but the old man failed and was unable to turn the world back. Now, the best strategy is to quickly end the turmoil in the Central Plains. The empress dowager is in the palace and may not know the general trend of the world. Now Yun Zhaowei in the north is too big, and 100,000 troops have crossed the river. Everyone understands what the troops are referring to. If we don't have enough time to accumulate strength, then the Great Yue country will be destroyed without a day."
"In a few states in the north, Yunzhao, a hunter, can I move my foundation for hundreds of years!" the empress dowager said angrily.
"The Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty must have thought so, but now, the people of Meng were suppressed by Yun Zhao and could not move. The capital Yanjing was attacked fiercely by Yun Zhao, and the day was in danger. The hunters of those days now have hundreds of thousands of troops. If we don't plan a countermeasure earlier, the current Yanjing will be Shangjing in the future."
The queen mother leaned dejectedly on the back of the chair, "If you want the Ai family to support that bitch's son, don't think so!"
"Empress Dowager, whether it is the uncle or the fourth master, they are all your sons. No matter who ascends to the great treasure, they must regard you as the queen mother and have to be happy under your knees. Empress Dowager. Even if you don't think about yourself, don't you think about your family? Now the uncle is no longer able to do it. Then turn to support the fourth master. After the fourth master enters the capital in the future, the authority of the rear clan will definitely be able to be preserved!"
"Will Jian'er die?" the queen mother asked in a trembling voice.
Cao Yi raised his head, "Cao guarantees his life. After the old man fails, there will be at least one idle prince to be a member of the situation. Although freedom will definitely be restricted in the future, it will never hurt your life. And there is also the queen mother! If you are in one day, the old man will definitely be worry-free."
The palace was silent, the muscles on the queen mother's face kept trembling, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were silent, and the palace was so quiet that it seemed that a needle could be heard falling to the ground.
After a while, the Queen Mother finally sighed, "Tell me, what do you want the Ai family to do?"
Cao Yi was overjoyed, "I beg the Empress Dowager to issue an imperial edict, which is to make the great master desolate and injustice, disorder the court's principles, which leads to the great decay and the people's suffering. In order to revive the great master and reappear the great master and the prosperous era, the great master, the great emperor, was abolished and the fourth master, Li Xiao, was appointed as the emperor."
The Empress Dowager stared at Cao Yi with wide eyes. Although Cao Yi knelt in front of her, she looked up at her with determination. The Empress Dowager knew that even if she didn't write, Cao Yi would have a way to create one by herself.
"Okay, the Ai family wrote, Cao Cao, remember it. You use your life to guarantee Jian'er's life to be free. If Jian'er has a few shortcomings, the Ai family will definitely not give up."
Cao Yi kowtowed and said, "Don't worry, the Queen Mother." He got up, walked to the desk on the side, rolled up his sleeves, and polished the ink himself.
The palace maid helped the empress dowager to the table and picked up the pen. Before she could finish the writing, her tears fell down. If she had known today, why would she have been there?
After a while, Cao Yi looked at the imperial decree with the golden seal of the empress dowager, and smiled and blew the ink stains on it, "Empress Dowager, this imperial decree is still a seal, please put it on together!"
"What seal is missing?"
"The imperial seal! The uncle is fighting abroad, and the imperial seal will not be carried with him. Gou Ping said, Your Majesty will hand over the jade seal to the Queen Mother for your care!" Cao Yi smiled and said, "Only by covering this imperial seal, the effectiveness of this imperial seal will be for sure!"
"What are Gou Ping talking nonsense? How could Jian'er give this national treasure to a woman in the Ai family to keep? It has been stored in the Tai Chi Hall and is protected by a dedicated person from Xu Enmao. It never leaves the Tai Chi Hall." The empress dowager stared at Cao Yi and said angrily.
"In Tai Chi Hall?" Cao Yi's heart was thrilled. Why did Gou Ping talk nonsense? But there was no surprise on his face. "It's Meng Lang, my subordinate! I'll go to Tai Chi Hall now. Empress Dowager. I'm in chaos for a while, and the palace will inevitably be uneasy. Just keep in the hall. There is nothing special. Don't go out. I'll take my leave!"
Cao Yi turned around and walked out of Kunyi Palace where the empress dowager was resting, and ran straight towards Taiji Palace. The empress dowager behind him looked at the door of the hall being covered, and heard the jingle of soldiers' armor colliding at the door, and couldn't help but shed tears again.
"Zeng Xuan!" As soon as he left the palace gate, Cao Yi summoned Zeng Xuan, who is now in charge of the palace defense, and "No one of the people in Gou Ping is allowed to leave the palace."
Zeng Xuan was shocked, "Prime Minister, isn't Gou Ping ours?"
"This guy has a ulterior motive. Let's go find Xu Enmao. The imperial seal is in the Tai Chi Hall, in Xu Enmao's hands." Cao Yi's steps were hurried.
When he walked into the side hall next to the Tai Chi Hall, Cao Yi was shocked. The hall was empty. Xu Enmao was lying on the desk table, as if he was sleeping soundly, but a bloody smell in the hall could not be removed. When he got closer, he saw Cao Yi was as stupid as a wooden chicken. Xu Enmao lay on the table, tilted his head, and his mind was peaceful, but there was a frightening crack on the throat. The blood had already condensed, and the entire desk table was covered with blood.
"Oh no!" Cao Yi turned around suddenly and ran into the Tai Chi Hall like a gust of wind from the side door of the side hall. Looking at the high dragon chaise on the hall, the wide armrest had been split by a rough knife. Cao Yi slowly walked up the high steps step by step, looking at the empty hole in the handrail, his face became increasingly ugly.
He stood up and looked at Zeng Xuan under the steps, "Transfer my order, immediately block the capital city, and do not enter or leave. The whole city was searched for Gou Ping, and immediately arrested all the darkroom personnel, and don't let anyone go!" Cao Yi's voice became louder and louder, and his last words were almost shouted out.
However, although the darkroom was hit by many attacks outside Shangjing, it was still strong in Shangjing. After Gou Ping left the palace, he disappeared without a trace, like a drop of water melting into the sea, and no trace was found. All the personnel in the darkroom were almost at the same time, and no trace could be found.
Gou Ping and the imperial seal were missing.
Cao Yi didn't expect that it would be like this. He beat the eagle all his life, but he was blinded by the eagle. The darkroom staff disappeared so thoroughly, which shows that Gou Ping had been planning this matter for a long time, but he had no idea. When he thought of being teased by a product with no eggs, Cao Yi felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood.
"Lian Zhongwen, the rest depends on you!" Looking at Lian Zhongwen, the intelligence leader of the Fourth Master in front of him, Cao Yi said in a cold voice: "Now that the city of Shangjing is locked, Gou Ping cannot leave Shangjing, he must still hide somewhere. If he finds him, he will find the Jade Seal of the Kingdom."
"I understand!" Lian Zhongwen nodded and said, "I have asked Princess Nianyun for help. I will draw elite troops from all over the country to Beijing. I must find Gou Ping!" The importance of the imperial seal is too important for the orthodox inheritance of an emperor. If this thing is gone, no one will be able to escape the relationship after the Fourth Master enters Beijing in the future.
"Is Princess Nianyun okay?" Cao Yi couldn't help but feel emotion when he thought of the pitiful rural girl who was now high-ranking. Not only did he hold the power, but he was also about to give birth to a prince for the Fourth Master. It is really unpredictable to change in personnel affairs. Who would have thought that the woman who was almost killed to silence her was now one of the most authoritative people in Dayue!
"Princess Nianyun is very good. It has been almost a month since I left Jiangnan. Calculate the time, I am afraid that Princess Nianyun will be in the next few days." Lian Zhongwen smiled. As the first group of people to follow Rou Niang, Lian Zhongwen is now deeply trusted. In the net, in addition to Zi Yan, who assisted Rou Niang at the headquarters, he is considered him.
"Is there any danger?" Cao Yi said worriedly. Now that a woman gave birth, she was not really going to be at the gate of hell. It is foreseeable that this dragon son, who was born on the day the Fourth Master was completed, will definitely be deeply loved by the Fourth Master. This is a great auspicious sign. Moreover, this is also the eldest son of the Fourth Master!
"Don't worry, Prince Nianyun can give birth smoothly, Prince Li Qing has returned to Jiangnan from the front line!"
"Doctor Wen, with him here, you can really feel at ease!" Cao Yi nodded.
Weizhou, in the snow and ice, Cao Ping gasped and pulled the bloody knife out of the chest of a palace guard. His legs were weak and he knelt in the snow. That night, after sneaking out of the army, Chaochu was still smooth, but in just half a night, the pursuers came with hammers. Fortunately, Li Jian was eager to escape and did not send a large army to pursue him, but sent his palace guards to pursue him. Although there was no danger of the army to pursue him, these palace guards were of great skill.
