Chapter 1103 Emperor Wen's Letter

A few days later, Yun Zheng of Jingyang Prefecture also received a secret letter from the imperial city.

One was a letter dictated by Emperor Wen and written by Mu Shun.

The other was a letter from Mu Shun.

Yun Zheng first opened the letter dictated by Emperor Wen.

Sixth:

I am worried that my body won't be able to hold on for much longer, so the matter of deposing the Crown Prince may be brought forward.

Depending on my health condition, I will start the process of deposing the Crown Prince before the end of the year. You should make arrangements immediately and stay on standby in Fuzhou to prevent any changes.

I have ordered Qin Liugan to go to Yuanzhou to supervise the construction of warships. I will secretly order Qin Liugan to take the warships and navy directly to Shuobei when necessary.

I will send people to secretly instigate the aristocratic families and clans to unite and put pressure on the court. I will first use your third brother to kill a group of people, and then leave the rest to you to deal with.

In addition, I gave the third brother some advice. Originally, I wanted to continue to stabilize him, but now it seems that I may have backfired.

I won’t go into details. Once the imperial document arrives, you will naturally understand it. You can then act accordingly!

Before I depose the Crown Prince, there will probably be chaos in the Guannei for a while. You don't have to pay attention to it. You just need to contain Xiqu and prevent them from taking advantage of the situation to rob!

Remember what I said to you before I left Dingbei!

Emperor Wen's letter was not long, but it contained a lot of content.

Looking at the letter in his hand, Yun Zheng's eyes gradually became moist, but he began to worry secretly in his heart.

My father has obviously made preparations for both scenarios.

First, he followed the normal process of deposing the crown prince.

Second, he died suddenly.

Emperor Wen had already made all these preparations, and it was obvious that he was seriously ill.

It is not known whether Emperor Wen's sudden deterioration in health was related to the Yu State's sneak attack on the three counties of Yuzhou.

After calming down a little, Yun Zheng opened the letter written by Mu Shun again.

In the letter, Mu Shun explained the reasons why Emperor Wen's health condition had taken a sharp turn for the worse.

As he expected, it was indeed related to the Yu Kingdom.

Mu Shun said frankly that Emperor Wen was not in good health.

Mu Shun also comforted Yun Zheng. The imperial physician said that as long as Emperor Wen took good care of himself, his health would gradually recover, so Yun Zheng should not worry too much.

In addition, Mu Shun also told Yun Zheng that Emperor Wen had authorized the prince to handle all state affairs, and he no longer needed to report any court affairs to him.

As for the purpose of Emperor Wen's doing this, Mu Shun did not say.

But Yun Zheng knew in his heart that Emperor Wen had already begun laying the groundwork for deposing the crown prince.

Emperor Wen wanted Yun Li to take sole power. At that time, any guilt in the court would be borne entirely by Yun Li, the crown prince.

At the same time, Emperor Wen was deliberately indulging Yun Li and his party members, allowing them to completely relax their vigilance.

Based on his understanding of Emperor Wen, he would definitely send people to secretly collect evidence of the crimes of Yun Li's party.

The day the crown prince is deposed is also the day Yun Li's party will be eradicated.

After reading the two letters in his hand carefully again, Yun Zheng handed both letters to Miaoyin.

"Just take a look! I'm going to go out for a walk! Burn it when you're done!"

After giving Miaoyin an instruction, Yun Zheng stood up and walked out.

When he came outside, Yun Zheng felt a little uneasy.

Although Mu Shun comforted him by saying that Emperor Wen's health might still recover, he was still worried about his health.

Emperor Wen was only thinking about a smooth transition, but now he is suddenly accelerating his plans, which is enough to show that his health condition is not optimistic.

When Emperor Wen and Qin Liugan went to Shuobei last year, he felt that there might be something wrong with Emperor Wen's health.

But whether he asked Qin Liugan or Mu Shun, they both said that there was nothing serious wrong with Emperor Wen's health and told him not to worry.

But judging from the current situation, his worries at that time were obviously not unnecessary.

The Yu State's surprise attack on the three counties of Yuzhou should have simply caused Emperor Wen's illness to erupt completely.

Didn’t he promise himself that he would take good care of his body and live at least another ten years?

He hasn't even gotten the Three Feudatories to submit to him on their own initiative!

Just when Yun Zheng was worried about Emperor Wen's health, Miaoyin came out after burning the letter.

"Are you worried about your father's health?"

Miaoyin came to Yun Zheng and looked at Yun Zheng with a complicated expression.

Even now, she still refuses to call Emperor Wen "Father". In front of Yun Zheng, she often refers to Emperor Wen as "your father".

She originally thought that Emperor Wen was about to die, and she should be very happy.

However, she was not happy at all.

Yun Zheng nodded gently, "I don't know how long my father's body can last! I don't even know if I'll have the chance to see him again..."

Miaoyin opened her mouth slightly and asked tentatively: "You... don't want to go back to the Imperial City to visit him?"

"What are you thinking about!"

Yun Zheng turned his head and looked at Miaoyin. "I'm going back now. Regardless of whether it's safe or not, won't our plan be exposed if I go back?"

He really wanted to go back to the imperial city to visit Emperor Wen.

But he knew clearly that he absolutely could not go back at this moment.

If he didn't go back, Emperor Wen's health might have recovered slowly.

As soon as he returned, Emperor Wen would probably be angered to death by him.

Having the idea does not necessarily mean it will be implemented.

"That's good."

Miaoyin felt relieved, "What did you talk about that night?"

Originally, Miaoyin had forgotten about this matter.

But Emperor Wen specifically mentioned this matter in the letter, which immediately aroused her curiosity again.

"Don't you know this."

Yun Zheng shook his head gently, "I will tell you when the time comes for you to know!"

Seeing that Yun Zheng was unwilling to talk, Miaoyin didn't want to ask about it anymore, so she asked instead: "So we are really going to stay in Jingyang Prefecture forever?"

"Stay here for now!"

Yun Zheng nodded and said, "After a while, I will send someone to inquire about my father's condition."

Emperor Wen's condition is still unstable.

Even Emperor Wen himself was worried that unexpected changes might occur in this matter, so he certainly could not relax.

He stayed in Jingyang Prefecture so that he could respond quickly if anything unexpected happened.

But if he stayed in Shuofang, even an urgent message of 800 miles would take more than a day to reach Shuofang than to reach Jingyang Prefecture.

"All right!"

Miaoyin smiled helplessly and asked, "Should we ask Luoyan and Ye Zi to bring the children over?"

"Not for now."

Yun Zheng shook his head gently, "Just write a letter to Mingyue and ask her and Zhang Xu to come to Jingyang Mansion!"

Mingyue and Zhangxu?

Miaoyin was slightly stunned.

Why did he suddenly ask them to come to Jingyang Prefecture?

After a brief moment of distraction, Miaoyin responded, "Are you going to take action against the mastermind behind this?"

It seemed that the only reason he asked Mingyue and Zhang Xu to come here was because of this matter.

"Correct!"

Yun Zheng put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice: "I don't have much to do in Jingyang Prefecture anyway, so I can focus on digging out the mastermind behind this!"

Although he may not be able to uncover the mastermind behind the scenes, it does not stop him from digging deeper.

"Well, that's good too!"

Miaoyin nodded gently, "Then I will go write a letter to Mingyue now!"

"Go!"

Yun Zheng responded, and immediately shouted in a low voice: "Shen Kuan!"

"The general is here!"

Shen Kuan, who was not far away, immediately stepped forward and obeyed the order.

Yun Zheng said in a deep voice: "Order Li Cheng to personally lead the troops and rush to Xing'an Fort as fast as possible. Order the Eighteen Ghost Riders to rush to Jingyang Prefecture immediately to obey orders!"

"Order Zhou Mi to lead his troops to Yaoxi immediately!"

"Order Wei Yu to lead 5,000 elite troops to Juping immediately!"

"make……"

One after another orders came from Yunzheng's mouth.

Suddenly, a feeling of impending storm came over Shen Kuan...
