Yang Yunzhao failed to assassinate the prince, and he didn't want to return to the capital, but also didn't want to hand over the military power, so he simply pretended to be sick.

Wang Ziteng didn't force him, and came to see him twice a day, morning and evening, both of them were sad and grief-stricken: "The queen mother's life and death in Beijing are uncertain, but the prince is sick at this time, God! Why do you treat Your Majesty like this, why do you let your Majesty's dearest and beloved two people suffer accidents!"

Yang Yunzhao originally wanted to raise an army to make a rebellion, seized the northwest camp, and then arrested Wang Ziteng on the charge that Yang Yunxi was confused by men and was mediocre, and then went to Chang'an.

However, when those sergeants saw Wang Ziteng, it was like seeing their relatives, and their morale was greatly boosted, Yang Yunzhao pretended to be sick and couldn't take charge of things, and all the things below were reported to Wang Ziteng's hands.

After a few days, although there has been no formal handover ceremony, the power of the Northwest Army has already fallen into the hands of Wang Ziteng, except for a small number of henchmen brought by Yang Yunzhao himself, there are no soldiers available.

In this case, Yang Yunzhao did not dare to rebel, for fear of being killed by Wang Ziteng's troops, and he did not dare to go back, for fear of being killed by Yang Yunxi behind his back.

Yang Yunzhao was angry, feeling that this world was so loveless, and discussed with Nie Changze whether to abscond to the Xiongnu, and then fooled the king of the Xiongnu to raise troops for him, and took half of the Great Zhou and him.

At this moment, an eight-hundred-mile urgent document suddenly came from Chang'an, saying that Yang Yunxi had died.

It's not that you're sick, it's not that you're going to die, it's that you're dead!

The messenger cried and asked Yang Yunzhao to rush back to the capital to preside over the overall situation, saying that Yang Yunxi had no heirs, and Yang Yunzhao was the next heir to the throne, and he must rush back as soon as possible to mourn for the emperor.

After Yang Yunzhao was overjoyed, he was in great disbelief, Yang Yunxi's health was not improving, why did he die suddenly? Could it be that in order to trick him into going back, he even used the trick of pretending to be dead, right?

Yang Yunzhao's side was fighting between heaven and earth, and the sergeant Nie Changze rushed in with a secret letter.

"Lord, the secret report from the capital, the emperor suddenly slipped while bathing on the third day of the ninth lunar month, knocked his head on the marble platform, and died!"

Yang Yunzhao was shocked: "What? It's really dead? Today is the ninth day of the ninth month of September, isn't it six days old!"

Nie Changze said: "That's right! At this moment, a pot of porridge has been made in Chang'an City, and the Queen Mother is unconscious, waiting for you to go back and preside over the overall situation!"

Yang Yunzhao still didn't believe it: "Could it be Yang Yunxi's trick to trick this king to go back, so that he can take the opportunity to kill this king?"

Nie Changze wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "It's not like ...... As soon as Wang Ziteng received the news, he rushed out like crazy, if it was fake, how could he abandon the 300,000 soldiers of the Northwest Battalion?"

Yang Yunzhao thought about it for a long time, and a burst of ecstasy suddenly appeared in his heart, and then he cried with joy, he had waited for this day for too long, so long that he didn't even think about when he would be able to sit in that position.

Since he was a child, Empress Dowager Ye told him that his brother was a sick man who would not live long, and he should sit on the throne in the future. He believed Empress Dowager Ye's words, and hoped that Yang Yunxi would die, but he waited for more than ten years, not only did he not die, but he also married his most beloved woman!

But Empress Dowager Ye told him that he had to be patient, and compared to the world, a woman was not worth mentioning at all. He believed, and he continued to endure, striving to do his best in everything, just to let his father see his excellence.

Unexpectedly, his father was so eccentric, just because that waste wood and sick seedling was the eldest son and grandson, he ignored all his efforts and passed the throne to him!

He felt that his whole body was going to explode, but his mother still wanted him to wait, and his brother would definitely die in three years.

But he waited for six years, and he still didn't die, even if he cut off all his heirs and poisoned him with his queen, he still survived day by day, not only abolished Wang Guan's position as queen, but his health improved day by day.

Yang Yunzhao was desperate, he felt that he might not be able to be the emperor in his life, and even had the illusion that he was dead and Yang Yunxi was not dead.

I didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly, Yang Yunxi, who had lived for 27 years, was finally willing to die! In his lifetime, he finally waited for the day when his sick brother died, how could he not be happy?

Nie Changze naturally knew how bitter Yang Yunzhao's heart was, so he dared to pat Yang Yunzhao's shoulder, and his voice was a little choked: "Lord Wang......"

Yang Yunzhao hugged him, buried his head in his shoulder socket and cried, Nie Changze's body stiffened slightly, and then he hugged Yang Yunzhao and cried.

The two took a short rest, and the next day they also took people back to Chang'an.

At this time, Wang Ziteng had already killed three horses one after another, and walked sleeplessly for a day and a night, and the whole person was numb, not knowing thirst, not knowing hunger, not knowing exhaustion, only one belief, back to Chang'an, back to his side.

He couldn't believe that the person who pestered him with a hippie smile before he left and said that he would let him trick Yang Yunzhao back to the capital suddenly died.

How could he die? He is such a scourge, he is obviously in good health, but he pretends to cough every day, and he is so skilled that even he has no way to do anything about him, but he pretends to be stupid and asks him to teach him martial arts.

How can he believe the death of a man who is full of lies?

However, he walked all the way from the northwest camp, and all the prefectures, counties, and counties along the way were all plain, and the people and officials all wept bitterly. His heart became colder and colder, and he felt a dull pain in his heart, so painful that he couldn't breathe, but he couldn't stop.

Even if everyone in the world said that he was dead, he was still unwilling, and he didn't believe anything others said before seeing his corpse!

In this way, he ran sleeplessly for five days and nights, during which he killed a dozen horses, and finally on the morning of the sixth day, he came to the Suzaku Gate and planted himself from his horse.

The guards guarding the door hurriedly surrounded and shouted loudly: "Who is coming!"

There was a sharp eye, and the prince was recognized: "Ah, it's the king's commander, how did you make it look like this?"

Wang Ziteng opened his eyes faintly, and grabbed the guard's wrist violently: "Take me to see Your Majesty!

The guard was so frightened by Wang Ziteng's eyes that he was about to cry: "Lord Wang, don't be like this...... Your Majesty he...... He has already ......", but Wang Ziteng yelled back the following words with a word.

"I want to see Your Majesty! Take me to Your Majesty!" He seemed to be crazy, and kept repeating a sentence in his heart, and sat on the long bluestone street outside the Suzaku Gate with a dejected face, like an abandoned and broken doll.

Finally, a carriage entering the palace stopped beside him, and a familiar head poked out of the curtain, which was Wang Ziteng's fiancée, Lord Shaohua.

When she saw Wang Ziteng, tears fell, and she sobbed: "The surname Wang, why don't you come up quickly, let your cousin wait for you for so long......"

Wang Ziteng was slightly stunned at first, and then struggled to get up from the ground, and let people help him into the carriage of the county lord of Shaohua.

Shaohua's crying nose was red, and his eyes were swollen like peaches, but he still couldn't stop crying: "Why did you just come back! My cousin has been gone for so long, he liked you so much when he was alive, what are you going to do if you don't accompany him, go so far away!"

Wang Ziteng grabbed the hand of the county lord of Shaohua in disbelief: "Your Majesty, how did he die! He was fine when I left! Why did it become like this in just over half a month?"

Shaohua was caught by her in pain, struggled to shake off his hand, sniffed and said, "Woo...... I heard from my father that someone had sprinkled oil on the floor of the pool where my cousin was bathing, and when my cousin came out, he accidentally slipped and fell to the back of his head, and he was gone in less than half a day.

Now the queen mother's aunt is sick and unconscious, and the second cousin has not returned to Beijing for a long time, and the emperor's cousin's coffin is still parked in the front hall of the Tai'an Palace, which has been more than half a month.

Zhen Guogong and Prime Minister are afraid that their cousin's body will rot, so they will be chilled every day, but this season will not last long, if you don't come back, I'm afraid you won't see him for the last time. ”

Wang Ziteng only felt that a thunder fell from the sky, and his brain was dazed, listening to others say so much, he always didn't believe it, and now he really believed it after listening to the words of the county lord of Shaohua.

He really didn't play dead this time, but really died......

In the front hall of Tai'an Palace, Yun Xi had been lying in the ice coffin for more than half a month, and after the prince vacated the border pass, she knew that Yang Yunzhao would not believe her so easily, so she had an idea and pretended to die.

This Tai'an Palace is the place where the dragon qi is the most vigorous in Chang'an City, she is idle and bored in the ice coffin to practice day and night, and has broken through the foundation building period and entered the state of Bigu, so there is no problem if she does not eat or drink for more than ten days.

It is unscientific that the body of the summer is not rotten, so she changes her breath to simulate a burst of corpse smell, making people believe that she is really dead and can't die anymore.

But more than half a month has passed, and she listens to the ministers crying and crying every day, and her ears are about to hear that the cocoon is coming, but Yang Yunzhao still doesn't come back.

She secretly thought, is that Yang Yunzhao really so cowardly, she is dead, and he still doesn't dare to come back to inherit the throne? Then should she pretend to be blessed by God, resurrect from the dead, and reorganize the dynasty?

But after thinking about it, she has been pretending for more than half a month, and the northwest is a long way from Chang'an, and the news transmission is definitely not so timely, so it is better to pretend for a while longer and give Yang Yunzhao another chance.

She was in a panic, looking at the eight-treasure glazed top above her head in a daze, when she heard a familiar voice explode in her ears: "Your Majesty——!

She listened to it with a thrill, yo, isn't this her family's kiss soft and cute eldest son Teng! Didn't she go to the northwest to seize military power, why didn't Yang Yunzhao come back, but he came back?

Then she couldn't laugh in the next second, only to hear Wang Ziteng staggering forward two steps, and then covered his chest: "Poof!", spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell straight down.

Yun Xi was shocked intuitively, and she couldn't wait to jump out of the coffin directly, this fool should not be so sad that she vomited blood when she was really dead!
