"Your Majesty, the concubine, the prince, the king, the queen, the concubine, etc., as well as the princes and ministers have arrived. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Mingzhu looked at Emperor Jing, choked up and said, "It's you, you called them here?" Why? You're fine, why did you call them? ”
"Mingzhu, let them all in."
Mingzhu had to get up and call, King Chen knew that something was wrong in the palace when he received the will brought by Gonggong Cao, and when he met the prince, he suffered some humiliation, King Chen's mood at this time was up and down, he didn't know if Emperor Jing would die now, and he didn't know what the prince would do with him after he ascended the throne.
"Grandpa Cao."
Lin Minzhi looked around and said, "Back to the emperor, Gonggong Cao is not here." After exchanging glances with the prince, the prince instantly understood, now that the princes and ministers have arrived, the emperor's most trusted Duke Cao should have arrived early after passing on his will, is there anything else? The emperor must have doubted the queen, and he must have done something according to the order.
The prince first felt a burst of joy in his heart, so that the queen mother didn't need to do it herself, but after thinking about it, he was still the queen mother's child, would he be implicated, did he really have to force the palace? So he whispered a few words to the minister behind him.
Just these few words made the people outside the palace enter a state of first-level alert.
Emperor Jing knew that Gonggong Cao was still there in Xia Zhongnan and had not come back, so Emperor Jing didn't dare to act rashly, all he had to do now was to wait, that is, to delay.
"I, maybe, my body bones can't hold it anymore."
"The emperor, the emperor, the emperor," "Don't say that," 、、、、、、 in the ears of Emperor Jing, who asked for the heir, Emperor Jing smiled silently, he really has been the emperor for so many years, and these lies still have to be heard and died, which can be regarded as the emperor's pathetic.
"Alright, alright, listen to me." Emperor Jing lengthened the end note, and everyone quieted down, listening to Emperor Jing's words with bated breath, these are about the court after all.
Gonggong Cao had just stepped into the door at this time, took a few steps forward under the attention of everyone, and pulled the corners of his mouth at Emperor Jing.
"After I die, I will please, you ministers, to assist the new master." Emperor Jing coughed violently a few times, mixed with Mingzhu's crying.
The prince and Lin Minzhi keenly captured the word "new master", and the uneasiness in their hearts suddenly magnified, isn't the new master the prince? If it's the crown prince, why don't you say that you should assist the prince well.
King Chen thought of the scene of his father's death, when he was still a child, and there were so many people, and the sound of coughing and crying was mixed together, and there were some ripples in his heart.
Emperor Jing turned sideways with difficulty, glanced at everyone, and finally stopped at the crown prince, took out the holy decree from behind him, and said in a hoarse voice: "This is the edict written by me." Gonggong Cao, when I close my eyes in a while, you can read it to everyone. ”
Mingzhu's choking sound became louder and louder, and Lin Minzhi's intuition was that there must be a ghost, so he simply dared to ask, "Your Majesty." ”
Before Lin Minzhi could speak, Emperor Jing motioned for the others to go out: "Go out and wait, I have something to say to the queen, and Gonggong Cao will stay." ”
After everyone left, Emperor Jing changed his usual attitude and said, "Did you also get my imperial brother?" ”
"Yes." Lin Minzhi knew that it would be okay to tell Emperor Jing at this time.
"You!" Emperor Jing coughed violently because of anger, Lin Minzhi had a smile on his face, leaned forward again, patted Emperor Jing's arm gently, and said softly: "The prince is not my child, and besides, Jinghe still had a child back then, as for the whereabouts of that child, you can go and ask Jinghe when you go to the Netherworld." ”
Emperor Jing grabbed Lin Minzhi with his hand, his eyes were tense with anger, his head hurt more and more, his cough became more and more severe, he wanted to say something but couldn't say anything, when he glanced at Gonggong Cao not far away, the corners of his mouth rose, Lin Minzhi didn't know why, and watched Emperor Jing leave with a smile on his face.
Lin Minzhi stood up and stepped back step by step, wanting to cry but couldn't cry, so many years of husband and wife, how much he used to love him, but now—
Gonggong Cao glanced at Lin Minzhi, and then looked at Emperor Jing who hung down on the side of the bed with his right hand, and shouted, "Your Majesty? Emperor? ”
"Go." Lin Minzhi said lightly when he passed by Father-in-law Cao, but his heart was empty, he really left, he was sent away by his own planning, but, but, this heart, why is this heart so unhappy, he is about to become the queen mother, why can't he be happy.
Lin Minzhi tried hard to pull the corners of her mouth, wanted to laugh tears but slid down her cheeks, pushed open the door, looked at the person who was kneeling on the ground and looked at her, and said, "I have ascended to heaven." ”
Before everyone was ready to start wailing, Gonggong Cao stood at the door with the holy decree and opened the holy decree, the words in the holy decree made Lin Minzhi's body sweak and fell to the ground, the prince's face also changed and changed, and the ministers were also questioning.
"Take it." Cao Gong is fair.
Seeing that the two bodies got up at the same time, the prince looked at King Chen with scarlet eyes, and said, "The holy decree is fake, it is fake!" How is it possible, how is it possible to give it to you?! ”
King Chen ignored the prince's roar, and walked towards Gonggong Cao with steady and powerful steps, but when he passed by the prince's side, he was stopped by the prince with one hand: "Don't move, that belongs to me." ”
King Chen stretched out his other hand to prepare to receive the order, but the prince even intensified his obstruction, and shouted, "Don't move!" "A minister who was still kneeling left in a dignified manner.
Mingzhu stood up, looked at the tough prince and said, "You call this rebellion, the emperor's edict makes it very clear that he is the new monarch." ”
Lin Minzhi only understood the smile on the corner of Emperor Jing's mouth before he died, but now she had to support herself so that she would have a way to live, so she stood up and said domineeringly: "He is the emperor?" Who are you and why are you talking to the prince like that!! ”
"Prince?" Mingzhu looked up to the sky and laughed, such an attitude stimulated Lin Minzhi and Xiao Zimin, who were already a little crazy.
Ming Xuan and Lin Ze also joined such a battle, Lin Ze stepped forward to help Lin Minzhi and said, "Everyone has seen today's scene, support the prince's side of the station." ”
King Chen's stern eyes swept over, most of them remained neutral and did not dare to move, only a small part walked towards Lin Ze.
The prince squinted his eyes slightly and said, "Concubine Niangniang, do you think your Summer Palace is solid?" Do you think I don't know about the people you changed recently? ”
Lin Minzhi took a step forward, the tip of her nose almost touched the tip of Mingzhu's nose, and sneered: "Do you think you can hide those things from my eyes?" Will you be in charge of this huge harem in the future?!! It's me, it's me, I'm the queen, it's the queen of a country!! ”
Suddenly, there was some commotion at the door, the prince looked at Xiao Han with a smile, and Lin Minzhi also smiled and said, "See?!" What is that?! ”
"You are going to rebel ?!!" Mingzhu turned to look at a large number of soldiers who had entered his palace with weapons.
Xiao Zimin laughed and said, "Rebellion? Where is the rebellion? Pointing to King Chen, "Come on, King Chen forced the emperor to death, tampered with the holy decree, tried to rebel, and took it down for me." ”
"Who dare?!" Xiao Han just looked at the prince coldly.
"What are you doing in a daze?!" Xiao Zimin didn't dare to make a move against Xiao Han, because Xiao Han's martial arts have been powerful since he was a child, and if the two of them make a move, he will definitely lose.
Just when Xiao Han wanted to take the opportunity to hold Xiao Zimin hostage, a voice came.
"I'll see who dares to move!!" Xiao Zimin couldn't believe his ears, this was Xia Zhongnan's voice, how could it be, shouldn't he be on the frontier.
Xia Zhongnan slowly appeared in everyone's sight, the whole body was solemn, followed by a group of soldiers, quickly surrounded the Summer Palace, Xia Zhongnan walked to King Chen, knelt down on one knee, and said in a calm and powerful voice: "The old minister has seen the emperor, and it is too late to save the driver." ”
"Your Majesty? General Xia, shouldn't you be in southern Xinjiang, how could you lead the army to trespass into the harem?!! Xiao Zimin's momentum is still unabated.
"This, you have to ask the emperor, and Gonggong Cao." Xia Zhongnan stretched out his hand to take the holy decree, handed it to Xiao Han, and said, "Prince, oh, you are no longer the prince, I advise you not to be stubborn." ”
"Yes" It was Wang Zhen who walked in from the soldiers, Wang Zhen, who was in charge of the prison, and he was holding a holy decree in his hand, "This is the will given to me by the emperor, say too, oh, Lin Minzhi and Xiao Zimin are not right, trying to rebel, and enter the dungeon, and I will supervise it." ”
Lin Minzhi's eyes darkened and fell to the ground, Lin Ze's mouth was also underestimated, how could it be like this, how could it be like this, the ministers standing beside Lin Ze immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, forgive us, we are also for the sake of that family, young and old." ”
Xiao Zimin watched the ministers prostrate on the ground, calling the emperor in his mouth, but he didn't say it to himself, he was disheartened, so he simply saw the opportunity and stabbed the dagger in his hand at Xiao Han, Xiao Han took advantage of the situation to dodge, but he had not escaped the sharp blade, and the blood on his shoulder quickly oozed out.
Xiao Han covered his arms in pain, Xia Zhongnan saw this, kicked Xiao Zimin to the ground with his foot, and the dagger also fell to the ground, Wang Zhen raised his hand and signaled: "Take it away, take it all away for me!" After speaking, he went to Xiao Han and said, "Then I will take them first and retire." ”
Xiao Han nodded, glanced at Lin Ze, who had no master of the six gods, and said to Ming Xuan: "The rest of the matter will be handed over to you, and you will also deal with the remains of the first emperor." ”
Xia Zhongnan escorted Xiao Han and left the Summer Palace, the battle for the throne was really as Xia Nanyue said, Xiao Han won without spending a single soldier, but Xiao Han has always been puzzled, why Emperor Jing wanted to pass the throne to himself in his edict, Xiao Zimin is also talented, why Emperor Jing handed over the prison to Xiao Zimin, but he had to pass the throne to himself before he died, is there any secret that cannot be said.
