Chapter 156: Throwing the Cup
King Wei said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the son of the true dragon, was born by the mandate of heaven and was born as a prince. Brother, I respect you!"
As soon as these words came out, the queen mother, who was sitting at the top of the hall, cast a disapproving look at King Wei - the prince's words and deeds were misbeneous and tyrannical, and she never liked it. But after all, he couldn't resist Emperor Wei, and agreed to lift the prince's grounding and restore the East Palace. At this time, King Wei toasted to build momentum for the prince, which naturally made her boss unhappy.
The prince, who was squinting at everyone, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Seventh brother, drink this cup to the full!" After speaking, he raised his hand and drank the wine in the cup. Then he looked around at the people in the hall, his expression was dark and inexplicable, and he quickly threw the golden cup in his hand as if he gritted his teeth, and fell on the jade steps in the center of the hall, making a piercing clanging sound.
At that time, I had just picked up a small and delicate zongzi, sniffed the fragrance of the zongzi leaves, and was ready to untie the colorful silk threads wrapped around it.
But with the sound of the crown prince throwing the golden cup, the hall fell silently but very quickly, and teams of sword-wielding warriors wearing rattan armor fell.
Vine armor soldiers!
My eyes widened in horror: This is the Eastern Wei Dynasty Dead!
What about the guards outside the palace? So many dead soldiers were able to enter the inner hall and ambush in advance, there must have been someone who planned carefully and coordinated with the outside world!
I looked at the prince opposite—his face was undisguised smug and arrogant!
He was the one who lured the wolf into the house!
I subconsciously looked at Sheng Yao: he pursed his lips, and he had already reached out to remove the jade belt from his waist that could be used as a blade, and held it firmly in his hand.
His heart sank—he didn't have the confidence he had in the past, he obviously didn't know it beforehand, and he was therefore unprepared.
Today's things are only afraid that they will not be good.
Emperor Wei shouted at this time: "Where are the rebels and thieves!"
The answer to him was the silent and rapid killing of the vine armor soldiers!
The inside of the hall became a bloody purgatory in an instant.
However, the vine armor soldiers were selective about who they killed.
The people on the prince's side were unharmed, but they left their seats and retreated into the corner.
The rattan armor soldiers who besieged King Xiao and the five princes were layered on top of each other, and the attendants who were guarding him were already splashed with blood.
The queen's elder brothers, Wang Huanzhi, Yao Huatang, and Lu Wei philosophers have also been surrounded by dozens of rattan armor regiments. These three are all civil officials, although they are blocked by the table and the pillars in the hall, but they are all injured and bloody, and the situation is very critical.
King Xiao escorted me and Ruan Liangdi towards the side door of the main hall, and bumped head-on into the queen and her party who helped the queen mother to walk away in panic.
King Xiao instructed the maids to surround and protect the maids, and when he saw that his uncle was in danger, he rushed over to rescue, but a larger number of vine armor soldiers had already surrounded him.
King Xiao had no choice but to take care of the Queen Mother and our side first, and the jade belt in his hand was full of tigers and tigers, and temporarily forced back the approaching vine armor soldiers.
Suddenly, he heard the screams of Scholar Lu, and he was cut open by a fierce-looking rattan armor soldier and fell to the ground with a bang. After the vine armor soldier succeeded, he didn't stop at all, and the blood-dripping knife immediately swung towards Wang Shangshu!
Xiao Wangzhi's liver and gall were broken, and he couldn't care about it anymore, so he waved the jade belt and rushed over. But he was soon besieged by two teams of vine armor soldiers and couldn't get out.
At the last moment, fortunately, Yao Huatang ran back and stretched out his hand to pull Wang Shangshu, which was able to avoid the blade. He himself was slashed in the side of the face by the knife of another vine armor soldier. Yao Huatang's demeanor was suave and soft, but at this moment he was very tough, raised his sleeves and wiped away the blood that gushed out to cover his eyes, raised his foot and kicked away the nearest rattan armor soldier, snatched his knife, and rushed towards the outside of the palace with Wang Shangshu.
However, there was a louder and louder sound of fighting outside the hall, and Yao Huatang was forced to retreat.
It turns out that the prince's arrangement this time is not limited to the vine armor dead soldiers in the palace!
Also, he colluded with the Eastern Wei forces without any concealment, what he wanted was definitely not as simple as killing King Xiao's lineage!
I suddenly looked at Emperor Wei vigilantly—the prince is trying to force the palace! Emperor Wei is his biggest target!
I exhaled, "Father, be careful!"
It's too late.
The crown prince had already arrived at Emperor Wei's side before, and Emperor Wei was not guarded against this son he loved the most, and thought that he had come to protect him and protect the calf, but he pulled him behind him to protect him.
At this time, the prince looked at Emperor Wei's back, his expression was complicated and difficult to distinguish, and his right hand was vigorously sent forward.
Emperor Wei turned around in surprise, and blood gushed from his right waist. Raising his hand at the prince, he said incredulously: "You...... Rebel!"
The prince tugged at the corners of his mouth: "I am a rebel! That is also forced by you! Since the queen mother went, you have raised the Wang family, where do you still remember your wife? The fifth and sixth children are pressing step by step, Zhu Lang and Liu Xiang are both disgusted by you, and if I don't think about it, I will die without a place to be buried." ”
As he spoke, he raised his right hand again—the wide sleeves fell, and in his hand was a glittering dagger with the blood of Emperor Wei on it!
Emperor Wei burst into tears: "I have loved you for many years, spoiled you and protected you, and suppressed Shengyao, but I protected a good son like you!"
Waving his sleeves and pushing away the trembling and trembling attendants who supported him, he shouted: "You killed the king and killed the father, it is difficult to escape the mouth of the people, and it is difficult to escape the historian's pen to write the Spring and Autumn Period, do you still think that you can climb the great treasure and sit firmly in the country?"
I raised my voice and said: "Those who kill kings and fathers, heaven and man are angry, and the world will crusade against them!"
The prince looked at me, a glimmer of light crossed his cold eyes, and he disappeared for a moment, and then raised his head and laughed: "Since this palace has done it, it is naturally not afraid!" He looked at King Xiao, "Do you think that this palace has no perfect strategy, and will act recklessly! In the hall today, those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will die! Those who are alive are my people, who will confide half a word to the outside world! Tomorrow, inside and outside Kyoto, all the people from top to bottom will know that Xiao Wang Shengyao intended to rebel, colluded with the remnants of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, killed the monarch and killed his father, and was killed on the spot by the palace! And I, the prince of the Great Qi and the concubine of the Empress Yuan, will ascend the throne as emperor in three days!"
He looked cold and arrogant, looked at everyone, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled: "As for the history books, it has always been a king who has become a king and a loser!
Before the voice fell, the dagger in his hand had already stabbed down on Emperor Wei's chest!
King Xiao and the five princes were all shocked, and struggled to cut down a few rattan armor soldiers, wanting to rush over to save Emperor Wei. However, in the panic, the middle door was wide open, and the entangled vine armor soldiers found the flaw and slashed out with a knife - King Xiao's left arm was injured, and the fifth prince was injured in the neck by the vine armor soldiers, and the two fell into the siege again.
Seeing that Emperor Wei was about to die, I was in a hurry, picked up the heavy gold plate with melons and fruits on the table next to me with both hands, and smashed it hard.
The dagger in the prince's hand was blocked by the gold plate, "It's you woman again!" raised his arm to block the gold plate, and shouted: "Kill her for the palace!"
Turn your head and stab at Emperor Wei!
Emperor Wei was so sad that he didn't let him avoid it, but he just opened his eyes and glared at the prince angrily.
