Chapter 342

Previous Chapter

The heaven and earth are shockingly white, and smelling the strong smell of incense and candles will inevitably make people feel depressed. A large group of vegetarian women stood solemnly outside the Queen Mother's hall, although these people were full of sadness, their eyes showed more depression and exhaustion.

It is no wonder that the body of the Queen Mother will be suspended for 27 days, and after being overtaken by the monks, it will be sent to the western suburbs mausoleum to be buried with the emperor. And in the past 27 days, all the ministers and women above the third rank in the capital will come to cry to the queen mother.

Which of the women in front of them is not pampered in the mansion, even if there are no cumbersome etiquette, just asking them to cry for twenty-seven days is equivalent to asking them for half their lives.

As the sun sets, the intermittent crying becomes more and more mournful, which makes people feel sad when they hear it.

Not only did the wives of the inner palace complain, but the ministers who had been kneeling outside the palace gate for seven days were also exhausted. They can only stand up and move in place for a moment when their knees are numb, and the rest cannot move whether they are eating or resting, and can only suffer on the futon that is more than a foot wide in front of them.

As the night deepened, countless palace people carried plain lanterns also wrapped in white cloth and hung them high inside and outside the forbidden palace. A heavy bell rang in the distance, and several palace people from the imperial dining room came to deliver food with wooden barrels.

Although all they got in their hands was a bowl of bland white porridge, these ministers were really hungry, and they drank it in a big gulp regardless of their manners. A few of them moved quickly, drank them in three or two sips, and licked their old faces and motioned for the palace people to add more.

In the past, the attitude of the people in the palace was also respectful, and the ministers could not eat delicious food, and the white porridge was still enough. Today is a little strange. The palace people carrying the barrels completely ignored the pleas of the ministers and walked all the way without squinting.

The first to stretch out the empty bowl was Taichang Siqing, who was nearly sixty years old, and had thirst, and was the most hungry. Where can a bowl of white porridge suppress the hunger in his belly, and it is also relying on his age, seeing that the palace people who were quite respectful in the past refused to even turn their eyes to him, he couldn't help but be furious.

He grabbed the hem of the last palace man's clothes and said hatefully: "Dog minion, who gave you the courage to dare to bully ....... like this"

Before he finished speaking, there was suddenly a figure in front of him, and he subconsciously raised his head, but his cloudy eyes widened suddenly. Liu Ling, who should have been under house arrest, actually stood in front of him with a long sword on his waist and armor.

No, it should be standing in front of all the important ministers.

He trembled and raised his hand to Liu Yi, and said with an incredulous face: "You, you, are you trying to force the palace?"

"Eldest princess, do you want to rebel?" Among the ministers, more than one shouted, so the old ministers stood up to accuse Liu Ling, including many old ministers who have always supported the prince.

Suddenly, one of them froze violently, and then collapsed with his head down. Not only him, but all the important ministers who had drunk the white porridge fell to the ground one after another in the sound of scolding.

Liu Ling snorted coldly, her eyes were as bright as knives, and she scraped coldly from the sluggish ministers in front of her, and then threw herself into the majestic and solemn palace in front of her......

The incense in front of the Queen Mother's mourning hall continued, and there was a mournful cry. The concubines of higher rank knelt in the hall in white clothes, and the emperor sat on the chair at the bottom, his face was gloomy like water, and he did not make a sound for a long time.

The queen didn't say anything, only lowered her head and threw the folded gold ingots into the brazier.

Outside the hall, there was a sudden voice from the palace people with astonishment: "Ginseng, see His Royal Highness King Xian, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

"No courtesy. It was the virtuous king Liu Hui who spoke.

The emperor slowly raised his head, and his gloomy and complicated eyes passed over the heads of the concubines and looked straight at the palace gate.

It was indeed Liu Hui who strode into the palace gate, but he was not wearing filial piety clothes, but silver-white soft armor and a sword at his waist. His dress made the concubines in the palace change color.

"Father. Liu Hui saluted the expressionless emperor, turned his head to look at the queen standing next to him, nodded slightly, and said, "I've seen the queen mother." ”

"Liu Hui, what are you doing here?" the emperor's face was so gloomy that ink was almost dripping.

......

"The prince plotted to rebel, and half an hour ago he closed the capital, and the 50,000 troops under the control of the Xie family were already stationed outside the city. Liu Hui repeated lightly.

"......" The emperor opened his mouth, and his face changed from black to white, and from white to red, cloudy and uncertain.

"You are talking nonsense!" Empress Xie took a step forward suddenly, and scolded loudly with a blue face: "Obviously, you yourself want to seize the throne, but you want to use my innocent prince as a raft." ”

Then he knelt down in front of the emperor suddenly, and said sharply: "Your Majesty, you can't let such villains be blinded, the crown prince is the future prince, how can he do such a stupid thing as forcing the palace." ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how can this be good?" Zhen Zhaoyi, who was waiting on the side, shouted in horror.

"You shut up in the palace, there is no room for you to speak here!" the queen glared at in annoyance.

It's a pity that Liu Hui's faint words have already made the people in the hall panic. Queen Xie, who was solemn in the past, also lost a little deterrent.

Zhen Zhaoyi bit her lower lip lightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial, you should let people go out of the palace to investigate!"

"Don't bother!" Liu Hui said indifferently: "The eldest princess Liu Ling has already led people to occupy the Donghua Gate, and I believe that with just a cup of tea, the rebels will kill them." ”

Liu Hui's words are convincing, which makes people have to believe it. Empress Xie's eyes flickered, but she didn't continue to argue.

When the emperor heard this, he only felt dizzy in his brain, his eyes were black, his body shook suddenly, and he almost fell down.

"Your Majesty, be careful. ”

Supporting him was Concubine Xian, who had been silent.

"I ...... It's okay. The emperor exhaled deeply and finally calmed down.

However, the next moment, the emperor turned his head to look at the concubine who was supporting him beside him, and a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes: since Liu Hui had already received the news that the prince was forcing the palace, how could he put his biological mother in danger together. Did he have other plans?

"Queen Mother, the sons are not filial, and they let people search your Kunning Palace without a holy decree, but they saw that your palace maid was burning the letter books in the backyard, but fortunately, my people went in time and snatched some of them from the palace maid. Liu Hui didn't seem to feel the emperor's suspicion at the moment, and with a wave of his hand, someone handed several letters with burn marks to the emperor.

"It's not about the concubines, the emperor, the concubines haven't seen these letters, it's the virtuous king who wronged the concubines. Empress Xie's heart jumped suddenly, and then she said with a look of grievance.

The prince actually forced the palace in advance without permission...... This news made her, who has always been thoughtful, panic, and she has not completely dealt with many things. But now the situation is obvious, she can only pretend not to know, hoping to have a chance to escape.

It's a pity that no matter how innocent she is, the emperor has doubts in his heart, and he will definitely not dispel it easily. He reached out and took the letter, opened it hurriedly, and then became furious.

"Slut, what else do you have to say!" The emperor threw a few thin pieces of paper in his hand on Empress Xie's face, and shouted bitterly: "I didn't expect the Queen Mother to suddenly fall ill, but you secretly poisoned her." One of you is the queen, the other is the prince, under one person, above ten thousand. What are you not satisfied with?"

The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more, but Queen Xie closed her mouth tightly and no longer defended herself in vain.

"Sluts, your Xie family are insatiable sluts..." Wheezing heavily, a deep chagrin surged in the emperor's heart. Raising tigers for trouble, cocooning and self-restraint, it is himself!

In the distance, the sound of fighting gradually sounded, swords collided, and iron arrows cut through the void, making people's hearts chill.

The concubines screamed and became a mess, some ran out of the hall in a panic, and some cried around the emperor at a loss.

The emperor felt more and more headaches, and said to Liu Hui in a cold voice: "Don't tie up this slut soon!"

Liu Hui raised his eyebrows and didn't make a sound, but a cold voice with a joke came from outside the hall: "If my father has anything to ask, let my son answer!"

There were a few screams outside the main hall, and Liu Yi broke in with countless sergeants.

"Yi'er!" Queen Xie's heart had already reached her throat, and when she saw Liu Yi finally break in, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly came to him.

Liu Yi hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "The queen mother doesn't have to worry, just stand behind her son." ”

Empress Xie looked back at the pale-faced emperor with a complicated expression, and finally stood behind Liu Yi.

"Crown prince, this throne will be yours sooner or later, are you so impatient!" the emperor shouted angrily.

"My father atoned for his sins, but my son just felt that my father was too old to work every day, so it was better to give up the throne and enjoy some blessings."

Liu Yi said without hesitation, although his tone was three points of respect, but the other seven points were all orders.

"Son, son, come on, take down this seed of evil!" the emperor roared with a blushing face, but no one outside the palace responded.

"Father doesn't have to talk in vain, Donghua Gate has been taken by Liu Ling, the entire forbidden palace has long been controlled by Erchen, and there are 50,000 troops of the Xie family stationed outside the capital, and the entire capital is under the control of Erchen. ”

Liu Yi had a triumphant smile at the corner of his mouth, the corners of his eyes were slanted, and his jaw was slightly raised.

"You... You..." The emperor trembled and pointed at Liu Yi, and spit out blood in a mouthful of anger. The body slid limply.

"Your Majesty......." Concubine Xian pulled his arm with all her strength. He said sharply: "You can't fall down at this time!"

"Yes, you must take care of yourself, your son is still waiting for you to write an abdication edict. Liu Yi laughed arrogantly, and his eyes were actually proud of the world.

In the chaos, Liu Hui, who had been silent, finally spoke: "Wu Qingfeng, you handed over the Donghua Gate?"

Standing behind the crown prince, Wu Qingfeng, who was silent, raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said in a deep voice: "Your Royal Highness King Xian, people go to high places and water flows to low places, and Weichen is also helpless, please forgive me." ”

Liu Hui smiled bitterly and said, "It's because I don't know anyone, but when I entered this hall today, I'm afraid it's not so easy to get out." ”

Liu Yiyan's eyelids jumped suddenly, but he saw Liu Hui wave his hand, and several iron arrows whistled through the night with the sound of the wind, and the sergeant behind Liu Yi was instantly shot to the ground. Countless iron arrows roared next. He was startled, and grabbed the person next to him to block it.

"Poof, poof. There was a muffled tooth-sore sound, the sound of an iron arrow plunging into flesh.

"You, you, you......"

Liu Yi's eyes widened in astonishment, and in the chaos, it was actually Queen Xie who was temporarily pulled by him as a meat shield.

Three white-feathered iron arrows pierced her chest, and her mouth opened and closed like a dying fish, but she could no longer spit out a word, and she could not live.

A trace of guilt flashed in Liu Yi's heart, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Liu Hui had taken advantage of the chaos to protect the emperor and Concubine Xian and had escaped from the hall. He couldn't help but hate in his heart, and said coldly: "Pass the order, the virtuous king Liu Hui plotted a rebellion and shot the current queen, and there is no forgiveness for killing!"

"Yes!"

When they chased out, they were surprised to find that the emperor, Concubine Xian and Liu Hui had already disappeared in the chaos. Liu Yi stood on the white marble steps stained red with blood with a gloomy face, except for the screams and screams in his ears, but he never got the news he wanted to hear the most. Seeing that the originally dark sky was gradually turning out of the white belly, his heart almost sank into the abyss.

It seems that something has gradually escaped his control.

"Prince, Xihua Gate, Beihua Gate have been captured, and now only Nanhua Gate is barely supported by a team of guards. Wu Qingfeng came running with a bloody face, his armor was covered with thick blood scabs, and the hilt of the sword in his hand was so slippery that he could barely hold it.

"Nanhua Gate?" Liu Yi muttered: "Nanhua Gate is guarded by the Xi family, and Liu Hui must be hiding in Nanhua Gate with the old guy." Liu Yi showed a cruel smile, beckoned to the leader of the Dragon Guard, and whispered a few words in his ear.

The leader of Longwei was ordered to go, and Liu Yi personally led people to Nanhua Gate.

The closer you get to Nanhua Gate, the more shocking the shouting and killing sound becomes. The sound of iron halberds and steel knives was endless, and the rebels and guards were already red-eyed. Not far away, more and more soldiers shouted and rushed over, thickening the encirclement of Nanhua Gate layer by layer, forming a human wall full of swords.

Liu Hui took off his armor and draped it on the emperor's body, and his eyes swept over the faces of the opposite side as if they were facing a great enemy. All Feng Wei were waiting for his orders.

His hand suddenly closed, and a cloud-piercing arrow roared into the air, bringing up a large cloud of black smoke.

On the outskirts of Beijing, several generals in the mountains and forests who had been waiting impatiently for a long time lit up almost at the same time, and said:

"Someone, give the order. The crown prince Liu Yi raised troops to force the palace and committed chaos. In order to ensure the stability of the community, 100,000 defenders on the border entered Beijing to capture the king and protect the holy ......"

The fully armed general said word by word: "The time has come for you to die for the country." ”

"Whoever is a traitor will be killed on the spot!" the general waved his sword forward vigorously and shouted, "Kill!"

In an instant, the suburbs of Beijing were actually wolf smoke billowing and dusty in the sky, shouting to kill the sky.

The people were all terrified and looked at each other.
