Chapter 729: Killing the King
Concubine Kang stood behind a tall camphor tree under the flower wall, and her heart was full of ambition. Seeing that the lights and candles in the imperial study were also extinguished, he beckoned his henchman and eunuch and ordered him to quietly pass Qin Huai into the palace to see him.
Qin Huai had been waiting for the news of Concubine Kang, and when he heard the news, he immediately sneaked into Concubine Kang's palace, and the mother and son saw that they had succeeded, and they were proud of each other. Concubine Kang rested early, and Qin Huai immediately ordered someone to contact the secret line of the East Palace.
Wen Wansu cleaned up the prince's East Palace, and did not remove all of Qin Huai's eyeliner, but deliberately left a chess piece in the upper study and the small kitchen, waiting for Qin Huai to make a desperate move. Beside these two people, there were naturally secret guards that Fu Qingfeng had just established to keep an eye on them, paying close attention to their every move.
Three more ten, sure enough, there was movement. Ah Shan, who was on duty in the small kitchen, suddenly heard a few faint chirping of mallet birds outside the window, and he recognized that it was the voice of the master's message, and a spirit turned over and sat up. Pushing open the closed sash, I saw a purse resting on the windowsill.
Under the eaves, the person was dressed in black, his face was covered with a black scarf, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty will come to the Prince's East Palace for dinner tomorrow at noon, and the master orders you to mix this herb in the soup and then send it to Your Majesty, and you must ask Your Majesty to take it, and there must be no mistake." ”
Ashanono took the order and quickly carried the purse into his arms. Seeing that there was no one around, the two dispersed, and Ahsan still closed the window tightly.
At noon the next day, after Emperor Jian'an's early dynasty, he returned to the palace to change into civilian clothes, and sure enough, he only drove to the prince's east palace with only a few entourages, and Changrui and Qin Heng greeted him at the gate of the palace.
Qin Huai's people watched Emperor Jian'an enter the gate of the East Palace from a distance, and quietly reported it to him.
Success or failure in this move, Qin Huai had already contacted his forces in the palace, and three thousand forbidden troops were fully armed and hid in the palace of Concubine Kang, just waiting for Ashan's signal to do something.
At lunchtime, Qin Huai and Concubine Kang looked at the direction of the Prince's East Palace in the palace, waiting for Ashan's signal. It wasn't until the beginning of the day that a red and green spark suddenly rose into the air.
It was the seal letter agreed with Ah Shan, Qin Huai was refreshed, and immediately waved his hand and took the three thousand soldiers and horses to surround the Prince's East Palace.
Sure enough, the gate of the East Palace was closed, and no idlers were allowed to enter or leave. Qin Huai strode forward, and while clasping the closed door of the East Palace, he shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid, father, the son is here to escort him." ”
No matter how he shouted, there was silence in the prince's east palace. Qin Huai couldn't bear it anymore, so he ordered someone to resist the wooden pillar and slam open the vermilion temple door. Three thousand forbidden troops followed closely behind him, and the tide poured into the East Palace.
On the high black jade marble steps, Emperor Jian'an stood solemnly. The autumn wind lifted his inky black dragon-patterned cloak, revealing a corner of the bright yellow silk embroidered dragon brocade robe inside. His eyes looked straight at Qin Huai like torches, and the majesty of the emperor was undoubtedly revealed.
On the right side of Emperor Jian'an, Qin Heng has a long body and a jade body. The jade belt python robe was paired with the crown dress of the prince with bright yellow embroidery and a bright golden dragon, the color was bright and luxurious, and it reflected Qin Huai's eyes.
On the left side of Emperor Jian'an, Wen Wan and Changrui are arm in arm. The two of them are wearing red palace clothes, gorgeous phoenix hairpins, and pearls hanging low, which are graceful and luxurious.
As if something was wrong, Qin Huai hurriedly looked around and found that at the feet of Emperor Jian'an, Ah Shan was already in a different place, and the blood stains had been winding along the high steps, but now they had dried up.
It was too different from what he imagined, Qin Huai couldn't turn his neck for a while, and stopped in fright.
Emperor Jian'an stepped forward and took a big step, he pointed at Qin Huai, and his words were thunderous: "Rebel, you are heavy armor and lead troops to break into the East Palace of the Prince, what do you want?"
Seeing that Ah Shan's corpse was right in front of him, Qin Huai didn't know that the plan was revealed. He looked around, and saw that there were only a dozen guards on the steps, all of whom were close associates of Emperor Jian'an, and the guards of the entire Prince's East Palace added up to more than 100 people.
Qin Huai laughed dryly, took a step forward in the face of Emperor Jian'an's gaze, and said arrogantly: "The crown prince Qin Heng has bad intentions, and he openly poisoned his father and emperor by holding a banquet in the East Palace, and his sons have come to capture the traitors. It's a pity that he came one step late, and the escort was not good, and his father had already been poisoned by this rebel son. ”
With his eyes open and talking nonsense, Qin Huai claimed that he had the chance to win, and his words were extremely arrogant.
Emperor Jian'an looked at the three thousand sword-sharpening forbidden troops behind Qin Huai, there was no fear in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Qin Huai, we Mingren don't say dark words, are you trying to kill the king and usurp the throne?"
Qin Huai stood tall and proud, his face was full of smugness: "Whether it is killing the monarch or escorting it, the crown prince Qin Heng poisoned the first emperor, his crime can be punished, you father and son should go to the Yellow Spring together." ”
"No, it's not your father and son, there's still you, and you", Qin Huai disdainfully drew Wen Wan and Changrui with his fingers, and laughed: "The first queen is waiting for your family to reunite underground, today you can finally get together, and I, the imperial grandmother and the mother concubine can finally let out a breath of evil in our hearts." ”
Qin Huai arrogantly waved his hand, and the three thousand forbidden army Hulala spread out in a fan style, outflanking the steps.
"Wait", Emperor Jian'an waved his hand and asked coldly: "I imprisoned the Empress Dowager, it is understandable that you have a grudge against me. The prince and his wife, Princess Changrui, why did you set up such a poisonous plan to kill each other?"
Qin Heng also said loudly: "You want the position of the crown prince, I will give it up, why do you need to ask for my father's life?"
Seeing that the father and son are still a defender, and they seem to be alone, Qin Huai has no regrets about what he did today.
He pointed his sword at Emperor Jian'an, and said coldly: "You were originally raised by the emperor's grandmother under your knees, so you are qualified to be the emperor of Ding." The first queen has passed away a long time ago, you should have thanked the emperor's grandmother for her kindness, and supported the mother and concubine as the successor, so that I can be regarded as your son-in-law. You shouldn't have imprisoned the emperor's grandmother in the deep palace, and you still sheltered this unsuccessful thing. ”
Having said this, the wolf's ambition is undoubtedly revealed. Emperor Jian'an laughed instead of being angry, and shouted loudly: "Qin Huai, do you really think that you can succeed with these three thousand rabble?"
Qin Huai said with a smile: "What my father thinks about is that the three thousand forbidden troops naturally can't succeed. However, the mother concubine has already ordered people to close the four palace gates, and Jin Wuwei is also our person, so he can naturally maintain order in the palace. As soon as the soldiers and horses of Tangcheng arrive, they can sit on me and ascend the throne, and this will be a success. ”
"Very good, originally this was not your idea alone, even your mother and concubine couldn't wait for me to die early", Emperor Jian'an squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, and his face was even more ugly.
"Yes, the mother concubine is both virtuous and talented, and she is the most qualified to be a mother in the world. It was you who had to take out the first queen and press her, and the mother concubine already hated you to the bone. Qin Huai was proud and told the mother and son their plans.
