Chapter 17: Double Death
When the second prince Minghua left Zhongdu, he always thought that he only needed to leave for three and five years, and then he could return to Zhongdu to assist his brother, but he didn't expect that he would not be able to return to Zhongdu for another day in his life.

Soon after the marriage of Prince Mingcheng, Huangfu Xueyi was also married by his father to Wu Zhongyi, a famous young and handsome ---- in the capital. Huangfu Xueyi has liked Prince Mingcheng since she was a child, and this time the prince chose the concubine, she was hit hard, she was depressed at home all day long, and she didn't like to go out. This time she was married by her father, and she no longer made a small temperament, but agreed very silently, and she could prepare her dowry wholeheartedly, but even if the Queen Mother summoned her, she refused to enter the palace half a step again.
Wu Zhongyi is an outstanding talent among the juniors of the martial arts, and he became a general of Dingyuan at the age of 20, and now serves in the expeditionary force personally trained by the emperor.
The Wu family has always maintained a neutral attitude in Zhongdu and is not very close to the Huangfu family, but Wu Zhongyi is an infatuation and wants to marry Huangfu Xueyi. The martial arts family was naturally unwilling, originally thinking that Huangfu Xueyi was the best candidate for the crown princess, but he was defeated. Huangfu Qingyun had long wanted to win over the Wu family, and took the initiative to show favor to Wu Zhongyi, Wu Zhongyi had several quarrels with his family in order to marry Huangfu Xueyi, and finally the family had to compromise and let him marry Huangfu Xueyi. But since Wu Zhongyi married Huangfu Xueyi, he had to apply to be transferred from the expeditionary force to the forbidden army as a lieutenant.
The Queen Mother has always loved Huangfu Snow Clothes, and after learning the news, she selected several treasures from her own treasury to add makeup to Huangfu Snow Clothes.
When the emperor learned about it, he sighed, if the Huangfu family has the help of heaven, its power is growing, and he is afraid that the prince will not be able to suppress it in the future. For the sake of future generations, we should also get rid of Huangfu Qingyun and the powerful people of the Huangfu family as soon as possible in an extraordinary way. So the emperor began to plot an assassination attempt. The history of this assassination operation is called the "Nine Immortals Gate Change", the later founding emperor of Wei Xingguo, sacrificed every guard around him in this catastrophe, escaped from the imperial city alone, and broke the final layout of the forty-seventh Zhuluo, after which the relationship between the royal family and the Huangfu family took a sharp turn for the worse, and the queen mother and the queen in the palace were more-for-tat.
In this assassination operation, in order to avoid startling the snake, this operation did not use the palace attendants and forbidden troops, but only used 20 secret guards around the emperor and empress. And because there are many eyes and ears of the Huangfu family in the palace, it is not easy for these twenty big living people to appear together, so on the day of the assassination, only six secret guards took the lead in ambushing both sides of the road, and the other secret guards hung far away, waiting for the battle to begin, and immediately fill in the other vacant positions.
After discussing with the empress for several days, the emperor finally decided to use the secret chess in the Empress Dowager's Yongshou Palace to find out in advance the time when the Empress Dowager summoned the prime minister Huangfu Qingyun, so he ambushed Huangfu Qingyun in the imperial city.
Originally, this operation was very smooth, because Huangfu Qingyun was a little satisfied recently, and he didn't attach much importance to the escort work after entering the palace. First, he was confident that he had many eyes and ears in the palace, and all the wind and grass could not avoid him. And the forbidden army in the palace also has his manpower, and in the palace, he is not dangerous.
Second, although his beloved Empress Fu Xueyi failed to marry the prince, she married into the martial arts family and attracted the power of a military general family for herself, which surprised him. Therefore, entering the palace this time, although she was questioned by the Queen Mother, the woman had long hair and short knowledge, and Huangfu Qingyun did not take her words to heart.
Although the Empress Dowager Huangfu is biased towards her own family, she still hopes that the Huangfu family and the Zhuluo family can get along as peacefully as possible, she learned that her brother will marry the most outstanding niece into the martial family, she can't help but secretly worry, summoned her younger brother into the palace, and beat it, Huangfu Qingyun's ambition has long been cultivated, how to listen to it, the two disagreed, and they broke up unhappily.
The emperor will set up an ambush on both sides of a long sandwich road between the Yongshou Palace and the West Gate of the Imperial Palace. Huangfu Qingyun is not allowed to wear weapons and guards when he enters the palace, but every time he is successfully connected and sent out of the palace, it is the four attendants around the queen mother, these four attendants are actually extraordinary in martial arts and cannot be taken lightly. In addition, every time the emperor Qingyun entered the palace, the forbidden army on the west side of the palace had his own manpower, waiting for the summons at any time.
From the surprise attack of the dark guard to the arrival of the forbidden army, there is probably a tea kung fu, that is, the killing action must be completed in a tea kung fu, and then retreat.
These twenty secret guards, the first six secret guards brought the strong bow and crossbow that the emperor had assigned to the expeditionary force, and as soon as they came up, they fired a hundred arrows at Huangfu Qingyun, Huangfu Qingyun was both civil and military, and his reaction was very fast, plus the four attendants around him were all masters, so they all rose from the ground, but they didn't expect that the ambush people had already expected their retreat, and in the blink of an eye, the second batch of arrows was shot up.
Huangfu Qingyun and they were forced to let out a clear whistle, took off their coats and swayed them beside them, blocking the random arrows. The four chamberlains protected Huangfu Qingyun in the middle, and Huangfu Qingyun only needed to deal with the random arrows above his head.
It was only a moment to release the arrow, and in the next moment, the four chamberlains had already turned defense into attack and took the initiative to attack the dark guards of the city wall. In fact, these four attendants were hit by one or two arrows, but they were not critical, and they could continue to persevere. And Huangfu Qingyun's clear whistle had already informed his subordinates outside the palace gate that the people asking for help would arrive soon.
As the four chamberlains were entangled with the secret guards who were ambushed on both sides of the road, Huangfu Qingyun also followed closely behind to prevent the other party from continuing to release random arrows. The five men fought and retreated. The other secret guards have been quickly replenished, and it was originally very obvious that Huangfu Qingyun's five people would play against twenty people, and it would be very obvious who would win or lose.
But it can be regarded as Huangfu Qingyun's life should not be extinguished, after Huangfu Qingyun left, the Queen Mother suddenly remembered that there was something else and forgot to discuss with Huangfu Qingyun, so she sent Shi Mama next to her to pass on Huangfu Qingyun to go to Yongshou Palace again. It just so happened that the grandmother beside the Queen Mother was also skilled in martial arts, and soon she joined the war group.
As for the Nine Immortals Gate, Lu Cheng, a subordinate of Huangfu Qingyun, also had an urgent need to find Huangfu Qingyun, so he hurriedly walked to the inner garden of the palace under the leadership of a small chamberlain. This person is also excellent in martial arts. As a result, the number of people protecting Huangfu Qingyun suddenly increased to six. Originally, there was a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, and it was easy for these secret guards to get Huangfu Qingyun in their hands, but it was a little difficult to take the name of Huangfu Qingyun for a while.
These six people tried to protect Huangfu Qingyun to retreat to the west gate of the palace, and the secret guards in the ambush were anxious, and they shot even more fiercely, completely disregarding the safety of themselves and their companions. Soon the two attendants beside Huangfu Qingyun had fallen, and the other two were also seriously injured, only Lu Cheng and Shi Mama, who had newly joined the battle group, were still protecting Huangfu Qingyun. At this time, the forbidden army of the Nine Immortals Gate had already been alarmed, and they were rushing to this side.
There was a door at the end of the road, Lu Cheng and Shi Mama blocked Huangfu Qingyun behind them, and one person guarded one side, blocking the pursuers behind. After Huangfu Qingyun ran out of the door, outside was the square leading to the Nine Immortals Gate. When the dark guard flew out, he encountered the arrow array of the forbidden army and was pressed back. The dark guards were also very good, blocking the arrows back, and a few stray arrows hit Huangfu Qingyun. One of the arrows hit Huangfu Qingyun in the thigh knee, which also made him a cripple later.
The dark guards still wanted to chase and kill the past, but the forbidden army of the Nine Immortals Gate put out an arrow array, and there were many injured secret guards, in order to avoid revealing their identities, the secret guards had to save the injured and quickly withdraw.
This time in the Nine Immortals Gate Change, six people died, and Huangfu Qingyun was also seriously injured, and he went home for three months before he could enter the palace again.
After the emperor's assassination failed, he sighed with the empress, "Time is also lucky, I am afraid that the fate of the Zhuluo Dynasty is really going to be broken." ”
The queen mother was furious and scolded the emperor and queen fiercely, and the relationship with the emperor and queen fell to a freezing point. After Huangfu Qingyun was seriously injured, the emperor replaced Ke Shouting as the prime minister, but after three months of Huangfu Qingyun's injury, he reappeared in the early dynasty, Ke Shouting took the initiative to resign, and did not dare to go toe-for-tat with Huangfu Qingyun.
The grievances between the Huangfu family and the Zhuluo family officially tore off the veil of warmth. In fact, Huangfu Qingyun has fought back for a long time. He ordered people to poison the emperor's and empress's meals, and soon the emperor was sick in bed.
After the prince found out, he questioned Huangfu Qingyun, but Huangfu Qingyun arrogantly asked the prince to supervise the country and act as the emperor. ** The affairs are also decided by the Queen Mother and handed over to the crown princess Fu Xueru to take care of.
The queen mother played a round between the crown prince and the emperor Qingyun, although the crown princess took over the affairs of the palace, but she still served the queen very diligently every day. The sick queen couldn't find fault with her, so she had to sigh, "It's a pity, she is the daughter of the Huangfu family." ”
Huangfu Qingyun seemed to have made up his mind to take revenge, ignoring the pleas of the queen mother, he refused to give the antidote to the emperor, and finally the emperor died, and the queen died three days later.
After the death of the emperor, Huangfu Qingyun controlled the palace news again, and did not announce the news until five days later. The crown prince ascended the throne as emperor on the same day, becoming the last emperor of the Zhula Dynasty, the forty-eighth emperor of Zhuluo.
After the crown prince ascended the throne, he made the crown princess Huangfu Xueru the queen, Ji Wenrong as the virtuous concubine, and Fu Lingyi as the noble concubine. At this time, there were only ten months before the prince's wedding, and only five months before the assassination of Huangfu Qingyun.
The royal family's counterattack against the royal family was so swift and ferocious that it was beyond the expectations of everyone in Zhongdu. Before he could react, the new emperor had already ascended the throne, so the armies in various places did not change in the end, and the power was smoothly transferred to the hands of the former crown prince Mingcheng.
After the crown prince ascended the throne, Huangfu Qingyun used the excuse that after the prince got married, the concubine was always pregnant, and arranged for several beautiful women to enter the palace to be the new emperor's concubines. But until the death of Zhuluo 48, no baby was born in the palace. The heirs of the Zhuluo royal family are difficult, and it is even more obvious in the generation of the forty-eighth generation of Zhuluo, very few concubines in the palace are pregnant, and even if they are pregnant, they are not able to conceive in October.
Later generations speculated that this should be the role played by Huangfu Qingyun, and he no longer wanted the Zhuluo royal family to have any more descendants.
