The emperor died, and the ministers did not go to the early court for many days. Even though the country is still stable, all kinds of big and small affairs that have come up here have been piled up for several days, and they cannot be played, and no one has dealt with them. The dragons were leaderless, and the chaos inside and outside the court became more and more chaotic.

Two days later, His Royal Highness King Yan convened all the officials of the court and the central government in the Xuanping Palace.

In the Xuanping Palace, all the ministers of the court came, all dressed in official uniforms, standing there with their heads buried and whispering to each other.

Gao Yan was dressed in a white brocade robe, and after stepping into the hall, he seemed to glance at everyone casually, and then opened his mouth:

"Presumably, you all know what is going on today, so this king will not beat around the bush and speak out." Gao Yan cleared his voice and said: "It has been three days since the emperor died, and the king of Jin is still locked up in the prison at this time. This king specially summoned all the adults today, just to ask, how should these three princes be handled? ”

When the ministers heard this, they were all silent, and they all bowed their heads and did not dare to speak.

Seeing this, the right minister, who was standing at the head of the ministers, stepped forward, bowed his head and said in a deep voice:

"According to the old man's opinion, the prince should be guilty of the same crime as the common people if he violates the law. My Dayuan has always had strict laws, and now the king of Jin has killed the king and rebelled, and he should also be beheaded to show the public. Otherwise, how can you block the mouth of this Dayuan people? As for the throne, it should be passed on to His Royal Highness King Yan. ”

Not long after the left phase ascended to the throne, the right phase is now the most senior and important minister in the court. At this time, as soon as his voice fell, he took the direction, and everyone nodded in support.

But Sima Jing, who was standing on the side, was anxious, and shouted:

"His Royal Highness King Yan, the last general thinks that this matter must not be so hasty."

He stood up, interrupted everyone's echo of the right minister, and bowed to Gao Yan and said:

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin is the third prince, how can he convict her so rashly based on the words of a few people? The incident happened suddenly, quite strange, we were all unexpected, and asked His Royal Highness King Yan to send someone to investigate for a few more days. ”

The hall was quiet again, Gao Yan's eyes turned to Sima Jing, and said leisurely:

"Oh? So how does General Sima want to investigate thoroughly? ”

Gao Yan looked at him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but it was quite threatening. Sima Jing frowned tightly and glanced at Lord Wang who was standing aside. The man lowered his head at the moment and looked like he didn't care about himself, and Sima Jing became more and more anxious in his heart.

The two of them clearly stood up together, but now they are really in battle, and they don't say a word, and they become turtles with shrunken heads!

"General Sima, the killing of the king of Jin was seen by His Royal Highness King Yan in the presence of His Royal Highness King Yan, and he was injured together because of this. Besides, there is a blood-stained golden knife to prove it, so how can it be rashly convicted? ”

Lord Wang was silent, but he didn't expect Qin Li, who was following Sima Jing, to stand up at this time, but instead questioned him loudly.

Gao Yan narrowed his eyes, a little surprised. Qin Li actually took the initiative to stand up and speak in this situation. In the future, I may be able to use it for myself.

"What the general just said, do you not believe what this king said?" Gao Yan saw that Sima Jing was silent, so he continued: "Or are you intentionally helping King Jin escape this time?" This king sees, you also have something to do with this rebellion! ”

"The last general will not dare! The last general has always been loyal to the emperor and has never had two hearts! ”

Sima Jing's heart jumped suddenly, and he hurriedly bowed his head and reads;.

"Then General Sima should say less useless words." Gao Yan put his hands behind his back, and his voice was not loud, but it was clearly transmitted to the entire Xuanping Hall and fell into the ears of everyone: "Otherwise, if you accidentally provoke a fire, this king must also act according to the law." When the time comes, not only General Sima, but also your town and country, I'm afraid they won't be able to escape the involvement. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was afraid that King Yan was looking for someone to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys! Unexpectedly, the eldest prince, who has always been unknown in the court, actually has some means, and no one in the officials present dares to squeak anymore.

Sima Jing lowered his head, cold sweat broke out on his back, but he still secretly thought about what to do.

Just when everyone was quiet, I heard someone outside shouting:

"Lord, lord—"

Listening to the voice, it seemed like something was going on.

Gao Yan frowned, and sent someone to let the person outside the hall in, only to see the man running into the hall, kneeling down in front of him, and breathless:

"Lord Wang, the prison guard just now found out that His Royal Highness the King of Jin committed suicide by taking poison in prison!"

When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar! This matter was really surprising, and the officials behind him began to talk in low voices.

Gao Yan looked at him and asked in a deep voice, "What is going on?" Take your time. ”

"Back to the prince, no one has been in or out of the prison in the past few days, I thought that His Royal Highness would stay in the prison for a good time. When the prison guard delivered food to His Royal Highness today, he found that His Royal Highness the King of Jin had been poisoned to death. Looking at her hand again, there was still some poisonous powder scattered on her hand. The servant thought that His Royal Highness's arrogant temperament may have hidden the poison on his body early in the morning, and he was afraid that he would have no face to face it, so he deliberately sent others to commit suicide by taking poison. ”

Afterwards, Gao Yan took someone to the prison to check. Sure enough, it was exactly the same as what the slave said, His Royal Highness the King of Jin took it as a strong poison/medicine, except for the brocade robe on his body that could be vaguely recognized, and the rest was unrecognizable.

I didn't expect so many accidents to happen in just a few days. The second prince Gao Heng died, and the third prince Gao Xun committed suicide, and there was only one prince left in the Great Yuan Kingdom, Gao Yan.

Even the most stupid people may be aware of it, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin is dead. But Gao Xun used to be arrogant and disrespectful, and he was arrogant, and he inadvertently provoked many officials. What's more, now that the shape is one-sided, even the right minister is standing behind King Yan, even if the other officials know that this matter is different and have doubts in their hearts, they all take care of the black gauze hat on their heads, and they don't dare to make a sound, let alone wade into this troubled water.

Since then, it has been expected by everyone that in the 178th year of the Yuan Kingdom, the great prince Gao Yan ascended the throne and became the eleventh monarch of the Great Yuan Kingdom.

When the news came out, the world couldn't help but sigh. It seems that as a prince, he can't escape the fate of fratricide after all. Fighting back and forth, and the last one sitting on the throne was only the one left.

Besides, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, you didn't take the throne four years ago, and now you have to fight with the clam and the clam to fight, but you didn't want to let the fisherman benefit, but you should be really confused.

It is said that the corpses that were even in the prison after death were terrible, and they were not allowed to enter the imperial tomb when they were buried. Once when the three princes led their troops back to Beijing, they were full of scenery and chic, and no one praised them when they saw them. And who would have thought that such an amazing character would end up dying in prison and being infamous.

Alas, what a pity.

The common people say that after all, the days are as they pass.

As long as life can still be stable and comfortable, it doesn't matter to them who sits on this throne. Presumably, this matter will soon be forgotten by everyone.

When Gao Yan ascended the throne, Sima Jing was still on the throne. The iron-clad man lowered his head, but his eyes were also red.

In charge of the Eight Banners in the palace, he is quite powerless in his heart. He knew that what was behind him was the entire General's Mansion, and now he couldn't make a mistake.

Fortunately, after returning home, Ye Xiuying learned about it, and only cried secretly, but it was not as painful as she imagined.

What he didn't know was that before Ye Ziliang left with Gao Xun, he secretly found an opportunity to enter the General's Mansion. Time was pressing, so she only looked for Ye Xiuying and said a few words hastily, telling her not to worry, and not to come to look for the two of them, and left quickly.

The new emperor ascended the throne, a son of heaven and a courtier. There is also a right complementary, although the official Gao Yan of the previous dynasty is not all clear, but the people in this palace will soon obey his orders.

After a bloody rain in the dark, it seems that the dust has finally settled.

In the harem, a gorgeous figure appeared in the Yanxi Palace.

"Smack!"

"The mourning family doesn't drink medicine!" The porcelain bowl was knocked to the ground, and the Empress Dowager Song's hair was scattered, holding a pillar and lamenting: "The emperor of the mourning family! O mourning emperor! ”

Ning Chumei stepped into the house and saw this scene. She approached, her face full of pity:

"Yo, why are you still thinking about it? Didn't I tell you, now that the great prince has ascended the throne, your emperor will be dead a long time ago! ”

"You, you're here again!" Empress Dowager Song retreated again and again, as if she had been stimulated by something, and shouted hysterically at her: "You are all reversed, all reversed!" You, a little Zhaoyi, dare to instruct the people in the palace of the mourning family, the emperor of the mourning family, to be killed by you people! ”

"Oh, full of nonsense, I'm really sick. You guys, don't you feed her this medicine yet! ”

Ning Chumei chuckled, and the several palace maids who followed her brought another bowl of dark decoction, and stepped forward to hold down the Empress Dowager Song, wanting to help her feed the medicine. As before, the Queen Mother was still struggling, screaming indiscriminately, and the decoction spilled on her robe and face, looking very wolf.

The palace maids all stopped their hands, their eyes a little unbearable.

"What are you doing? Keep feeding the medicine. Seeing this, Song Chumei urged and looked at the palace maids: "Could it be that you want to drink this medicine for her?" ”

The palace maids shook their heads again and again when they heard this, thinking of the previous palace maids of Yanxi Palace. A few days ago, either one or a few accidentally fell into the well one after another, or they were inexplicably nowhere to be seen. I couldn't help but feel numb in my scalp, so I had to feed the medicine again.

After some tossing, the Empress Dowager Song was finally forced to drink the medicine, but she became more and more delirious.

Ning Chumei had seen enough of the good show, nodded with satisfaction, and whispered to those palace maids: "I see that her speech is becoming more and more confused, before she recovers, it is better not to run out indiscriminately, so as not to scare the rest of the palace." ”

"In the future, you will stay in this Yanxi Palace with her, and you are not allowed to go out without permission. There is also this medicine, but don't forget to feed the Queen Mother every day. ”

The palace maids stood aside obediently and nodded again and again.

After saying that, Ning Chumei turned around with a smile on the corner of her mouth and turned to leave.
