Chapter 308 Emergency

Chapter 308 Emergency

The Qianlong Plan was formulated by Yang Liang three years ago. To put it bluntly, it was to launch a coup after the death of his father and seize the throne by force.

Yang Liang was well prepared. He recruited 6,000 private soldiers, and the National Protection Association would lend him 10,000 troops. However, these 10,000 troops could not enter Guanzhong. Instead, they were lurking in two manors in Shangjun, 300 miles away from Chang'an. Once they received an order, they would quickly rush into Guanzhong and help Yang Liang seize power.

At this time, everyone looked at Wang Long. Wang Long was a counselor and his say was the most important. Wang Long pondered for a moment and asked, "Your Highness, what did the imperial physician say?"

"The imperial physician said that the emperor is in a very dangerous condition. If he still cannot wake up at night, we must prepare for his death."

Wang Hong said slowly: "Your Highness, a single move can affect the entire body. Once the bow is drawn, there is no turning back. If the emperor wakes up at night, Your Highness will be finished. I advise Your Highness to wait a little longer and wait until the emperor dies before taking action."

Huangfu Dan also said: "Your Highness, General Wang is right. The hundreds of thousands of troops around Chang'an are loyal to the emperor. If we act rashly at this time, we may be considered to be treasoning.

But if we wait until the emperor dies, hundreds of thousands of troops will have no one to whom they will pledge allegiance. If we take out the emperor's edict and say that the king of Han is the heir to the throne, some of the troops will pledge allegiance to him, or most of the troops will remain neutral. Then it will be much easier for us to implement the Hidden Dragon Plan."

"What's the old general's opinion?" Yang Liang asked Xiao Moke again.

Xiao Moke bowed and said, "Your Highness, I support their opinions!"

Qiao Heng also bowed and said, "I also suggest waiting until the emperor dies before taking action!"

Among the five confidants, four were against the implementation of the Qianlong Plan, so it would be meaningless even if Qiao Zhongkui supported him.

Yang Liang nodded and said, "Then wait patiently for a while, and talk about it after the emperor passes away!"

..........
Xiao Xia rushed to the Princess's residence and happened to see Yang Lihua about to enter the palace. He hurriedly called Yang Lihua to stop her. Yang Lihua said anxiously, "Xia'er, wait until I get back to talk to you!"

Xiao Xia hurriedly said: "The Spring Rain Pill I gave you last time may be able to save the emperor. Aunt, give it a try!"

This immediately reminded Yang Lihua that her granddaughter Li Jingxun's physique had indeed become much stronger after taking Chunyu Dan for a year.

"I have exactly five pills on me. Is that enough?"

"That's enough. Dissolve two pills in half a bowl of sake and feed it to the emperor. Maybe it can save him."

"Okay! I'll give it a try."

Yang Lihua brought five Spring Rain Pills with her and rushed to the palace.

Soon, Yang Lihua came to the harem and saw her father lying unconscious on the bed. Concubine Chen and several concubines were sitting beside them crying. Two imperial doctors were carefully giving acupuncture to her father's head.

"How is father now?" Yang Lihua asked.

Concubine Chen wiped her tears and said, "It is said that if His Majesty does not wake up tonight, we will have to prepare for his funeral."

Yang Lihua took out two pills and said to Concubine Chen, "Bring me half a bowl of sake. I'll try it."

"Ah! Is this medicine effective?"

Yang Lihua nodded, "My granddaughter has been taking it and the effect is very good. Let's give it a try!"

Concubine Chen quickly asked the palace maid to fetch some wine.

Several imperial doctors said worriedly, "Your Highness, you can't give His Majesty foreign medicine rashly!"

Yang Lihua glanced at them coldly and said, "This is the medicine Xiao Qilang presented to me. My granddaughter has been testing the medicine for a year and it is very effective in strengthening her physique. Why can't it be used on my father?"

"Your Highness, this is the rule!"

"I know the rules!"

Yang Lihua was immediately furious: "People are about to die, and you are still talking about rules. Do you have a way to wake my father up?"

The doctors did not dare to anger the princess again, and all looked at Concubine Chen. Concubine Chen was also a little hesitant. Yang Lihua said, "If anything goes wrong, I will take all the responsibility."

Concubine Chen sighed, "Then let's give it a try!"

After Concubine Chen spoke, the imperial doctors dared not say a word.

The palace maid quickly brought half a bowl of sake. Yang Lihua took a sip and then put two Spring Rain Pills into the bowl, which quickly melted.

"My lady, help me!"

Concubine Chen helped to lift Emperor Yang Jian up. Yang Lihua pried open her father's mouth, shook the medicine evenly, and carefully poured half a bowl of wine into his mouth.

What follows is a long wait.

.........

Xiao Xia was in the military camp at this time. He called all the soldiers back to the camp and asked them to be on standby at any time. At this time, the court had issued an urgent order to cancel the last day of the lantern festival tonight and close the gates of the town and the city gates as usual. Various rumors were spreading wildly in the towns of Chang'an, almost all of which were about the death of the emperor. The only difference was that the emperor had died and the emperor had not yet died.

At this time, a soldier reported, "The Prince of Henan is outside the camp gate and wants to see the general!"

When the eldest brother Yang Zhao arrived, Xiao Xia immediately ordered, "Please invite him in!"

Not long after, Yang Zhao hurried into the big tent and saw that his elder brother had a serious look on his face. Xiao Xia asked everyone to leave.

"Third brother, my father asked me to ask you, should we leave Chang'an first?"

Xiao Xia said slowly, "Tell father to calm down and stay in the mansion and don't go anywhere. I'm watching here! If the situation gets bad, I will immediately send soldiers to take father to the barracks."

Yang Zhao nodded, "I feel relieved when you say this!"

"My eldest brother has also brought his family to wait at our father's house. You can pack your things first."

“Already gone!”

Yang Zhao sighed and said, "The situation is very tense now. Is there any movement from the Crown Prince and the King of Han?"

Xiao Xia shook his head. "The Crown Prince is now in a state of panic, still dealing with Yang Yan's descendants. I have also sent people to keep an eye on the King of Han. So far, the King of Han has not made any move."

After a pause, Yang Zhao continued, "My father said that the King of Han is likely to stage a coup. He has 6,000 private soldiers under his command, and they are no more than 50 miles away from Chang'an. Once the emperor dies, they will rush to Chang'an overnight!"

"He doesn't have this opportunity, not now, not in the future!"

"why?"

Xiao Xia said calmly, "Because Grandfather will be fine. Although he fainted, he just fainted due to stimulation, not because his life would end. As long as the medicine is used in time, he will definitely wake up."

At this point, Xiao Xia smiled again and said, "Don't worry! Father will go to Jiangdu soon, and big brother will go with him. Will his life be in danger?"

"How do you know that father is going to Jiangdu?"

"We'll know when the time comes!"

Although Yang Zhao was confused, since his brothers had made all the arrangements, Yang Zhao said goodbye and hurried back to the mansion to tell his father.

.........

As night fell, the evening drum sounded and the city gates began to close.

Suddenly, the emperor coughed twice and took a deep breath. Everyone was surprised and happy that the emperor woke up.

After a while, Yang Jian slowly opened his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Am I still alive?"

"He's still alive, father is still alive!" Yang Lihua held her father's hand, crying with joy, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Who saved me? I felt like my chest was burning like fire."

"It's Xiao Qilang's internal medicine. I took it after a year of quiet training and it worked very well!"

Yang Jian sighed softly, "Good boy, thank him for me."

"Father, please stop talking and have a good rest!"

Yang Jian closed his eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep again. This time he was not unconscious, but really asleep.

Everyone, including the imperial physician, breathed a sigh of relief. Several imperial physicians apologized to Yang Lihua, who waved her hands and said, "You are not wrong. This is a special case. I hope you will continue to stick to your principles!"

"Thank you, Princess, for your understanding!"

In the middle of the night, Yang Jian woke up again, started drinking water and porridge, and finally escaped death.

However, the condition was not optimistic. Although he woke up, he had lost consciousness in his lower body and suffered hemiplegia.

Although Xiao Xia's medicine can be used as an emergency measure and can help Li Jingxun strengthen his physique, it will not be very effective on Yang Jian who is already at the end of his strength.

Of course, there will be a little effect, but it will only extend your life by a few months at most.

Many court officials stayed in the palace and did not leave. At this time, a eunuch came to report that the emperor had woken up and started drinking water and porridge. His life was not in danger for the time being, so all ministers were asked to return home.

Upon hearing that the emperor had woken up, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and started to return to their homes.
