87. Chapter 87
In this world, no one is irreplaceable -- this is the summary of the whole process of the Forbidden City's change after the fact.
The death of the emperor is like opening the curtain of a farce, and all kinds of ghosts, snakes, and gods have come out. Shangguan Danfeng was blindfolded by the rescue this time, and when someone shouted for help and rushed in, she inadvertently turned around and saw the smug smile on the face of the "emperor" behind Wang An.
The hairs on Shangguan Danfeng's body stood up. She killed the wrong person, and the one who died was the real emperor. Whether she wants to or not, in order to ensure her life and status, she has to bite to death the one who died is the prince of Nanwang who wants to rebel. As for the future, we must first get through the current hurdle.
The emperor's personal eunuchs and palace concubines either willingly or forced to reach an agreement in secret, and the strategy of moving flowers and trees to hide from the sky and the sea is about to succeed. Maybe there are indeed people who are reckless and easy to be deceived in their abdomen, but they are very unlucky, and there is one more Lu Xiaofeng in them.
Of course, even if there is no Lu Xiaofeng, Gong Jiu, who is mixed in, will not let them succeed. But with Lu Xiaofeng, things will be much simpler after all.
The emperor had not yet lost his breath at that time, and he lay stiffly on the ground, and no one dared to pull out the dagger on his heart, which only left a gorgeous and delicate handle. At that moment, Lu Xiaofeng was almost his last hope, and Lu Xiaofeng lived up to his hopes, pulling out the skin of the prince of Nanwang who pretended to be the emperor. The emperor who got his wish watched the prince of Nanwang, Wang An and Concubine Chen being escorted away, and turned his gaze to the prince of Taiping, who seemed to be out of breath at any time, right now, only the Taiping King is qualified to ascend the throne, even if this prince is very useless, but there is still hope for life, isn't it?
After leaving a will hoping that the Taiping King would ascend the throne, the emperor died.
Suddenly, the sick and crooked Prince of Taiping became the backbone of many people.
Gong Jiu, who pretended to be sick and weak, accepted this god well, and he wanted to know how his loyal and patriotic Lao Tzu would react when he received the holy decree. Is it ecstatic, or slaughtered himself to the emperor - no, now it is time to call the first emperor - to make amends?
He didn't hesitate to take this pot on himself very responsibly.
The people who had been in turmoil before were killed, killed, caught, and caught, and only those who took the official route and obtained the admission qualification were very difficult to deal with. Gong Jiu showed his mind very generously, promising to open the palace door after dawn and let them leave. The reason why it is not now is because I am worried that the leak of the news will cause unnecessary trouble.
If the prince of Nanwang wants to rebel, it will not rely on a few palace people and Jianghu people, and he suspects that the garrison in Beijing is likely to have been pulled into the water. Of course, it turned out later that Gong Jiu really overestimated the prince of Nanwang. Even King Nan himself was a coward, and after the matter was revealed, he didn't want to fight against the water, but committed suicide directly.
At this point, this change of throne has come to an end. The emperor is gone, and the price is just to die a few people who have nothing to do with the overall situation. There are also people in the court who want to be held accountable for the introduction of the occurrence of this incident, that is, the parties to the duel, but how to say it, the location of the duel was set by the emperor, and the people were just ordered to enter the palace. Then we have to find out why the emperor issued that holy decree, and finally died without a problem.
Sooner than others, this Jianyì is the prince of the Southern King and the prince of Taiping, and now one of them is a lamb to be slaughtered, and the other will soon become the prince of a country......
Or when nothing happened.
In this way, Ximen Fuxue and Ye Gucheng finally retreated.
Ximen blows snow because he is open-minded, as long as everything does not violate his sword, let alone change the emperor, even if the dynasty changes, it may not have an impact on him; As for Ye Gucheng, Ye Gucheng, who was already ready to fight to the death, didn't know why he was let go.
Previously, the golden light falling from the sky in Baiyun City was considered by the clan elders to be the time to restore the country, and their belief that almost became an obsession was unprecedentedly firm. Therefore, some of the previous arrangements are a bit cumbersome.
For example, the move of the Southern Palace.
They were originally using each other, and when King Nan decided to steal the throne, he planned to pull Ye Gucheng together. Whether it is the value of Baiyun City itself or the person of Ye Gucheng, it is a good help. Ye Gucheng refused, but he didn't refuse thoroughly, he only said that he would help, but he never mentioned the words of recovering the country and ascending the throne.
He was not stupid, but he believed that the emperor in the imperial city would be so stupid that even the attendants around him were bribed. However, Ye Gucheng didn't remind him of anything, no matter who loses or wins, there is no harm to him, if both lose, it will be even better.
Ye Gucheng wants to restore the country, but he doesn't want to provoke a war in which the people are not happy, so he can only wait, and when the people of the royal family are dead, he can naturally come out in a bright light. And to achieve this condition is really a simple matter. He thought, this is probably the hint that the golden light gave him, no need to kill, just wait for the good time.
Now, that good time doesn't seem far off. King Taiping is old, and there is no one else under his knees except a son and a daughter, and after more than ten years, he does not seem to have the ability to add children and daughters. Outsiders don't know about his daughter, but it's no secret that he has a sick and bedridden son.
The Ye clan felt that they just had to wait.
Restoration and rebellion are two different things, even if their essence is the same, however, there was a golden light in the past, and there was a royal nest in the back, under such a good shape, those clan elders are still willing to slow down a little, in order to have a good reputation after the success.
It's just that Ye Gucheng didn't expect that although the plan of Nanwang's father and son was simple and rude, as long as they were thoughtful and ruthless, they were still likely to succeed. However, the fact is that although the emperor died, the prince of Nanwang was also exposed, and he was left alive and not executed on the spot.
Ye Gucheng didn't believe it at all, he didn't tear himself into the water.
But the reality is so calm, as if he was just a person with bad luck, who happened to be the teacher of the prince of Nanwang, and happened to be invited to the palace for a duel.
This suspicion is a good entertainment for Gong Jiu, who is trapped in the palace and pretends to be sick but has to deal with affairs with a disability, he has already begun to take revenge on the Taiping King, of course, he will be very intimate to leave a few chaotic ministers and thieves as easter egg surprises.
The country has been peaceful for too long, from those in power to the common people, all of whom have forgotten the suffering of being invaded by foreign races hundreds of years ago.
The country cannot be left without an owner for a day, and the will of the King of Taiping to ascend the throne was fast and urgent, and the King of Taiping did not care about anything else after receiving the will, and hurried to the capital with his henchmen and generals.
In August, the osmanthus is fragrant, and the autumn is full of joy. Halfway through September, the grain and grass had already been harvested. For ordinary people, it is a season to enjoy the joy of harvest, but for people outside the Guan, it is the season when the soldiers are fat and strong, and it is suitable to spend the winter.
The initial attack was the same as in previous years, just a small temptation, and a quick word trick was emphasized. However, this time the temptation was too smooth, and there was no difficulty in the past. Taking advantage of the caravan to communicate with each other, it didn't take much effort, and the news that the Taiping King was going to ascend the throne spread.
The tiger in Zhenshan is gone, and the generals around him are also following, and now the people who are guarding the border in the domain are some deputy generals.
The monkeys who have been pressed and can't be demons are not going to rebel, just like that, in one go, three cities in a row, it's as simple as drinking water and eating, and the only thing that needs to spend effort is to cut people. It's not your own country, it's not your own people, you don't have any distress at all, you cut people down, you don't have a soft heart to grab things, you have to do a bad job if you can't take it away, and finally set a big fire.
This time was enough for the invaders to figure out the situation in the Central Plains.
The emperor died, a vassal king was raided, and the only person who was qualified to take the throne in the entire Daqing Dynasty was the Taiping King who often dealt with him. An emperor who is old and can't live for a few years, a prince who is sick and is likely to die earlier than the emperor, if he doesn't rush up to take advantage at this time, he will be thundered by the sky.
In the capital, those who came down steadily and began to divide the cake did not know that the Daqing Dynasty at this time had been regarded as a ripe soft persimmon that only needed a light pinch to flow out of the sweet juice inside, and was fiercely targeted by a group of hungry wolves.
