CH.138 The Imperial Throne
The reigning emperor of the Helian medical clan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty has returned, so who will ...... the final throne?
The eldest prince stood in front of the door, and I saw that Helian Changfeng was standing silently behind the queen's mother, leaning against the door, looking at this side from afar. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Now everyone outside the door, still waiting, in addition to the emperor's death, I think, there should be one more thing.
-- Edict of succession
I closed my eyes deeply, probably my father was alive and couldn't get used to seeing his biological sons start killing in order to compete for the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and it was okay to die.
Everyone endured the heartache of losing Emperor Helian, but the next step was to lock their eyes on the queen mother and the old eunuch Lian An, who was the follower of the first emperor......
So, in whose hands is the edict of succession?
I was half-spread on the ground, watching the sadness that overflowed in front of me turn into thick smoke.
The old eunuch Lian An wiped his tears and stood up and said: "Before Your Majesty died, I had told the old slave to take the edict of succession, and after the edict was announced, it was handed over to the queen mother and the prime minister. β
While speaking, Lian An took out a locked sandalwood box stored in a dark compartment in the depths of the bookshelf, opened the heavy gold lock, and there was indeed a bright yellow volume of holy decree edict inside, Lian An stepped out of the main hall, walked to the door, and made a big bow to the heaven and earth outside the dormitory, and then got up and took a deep breath, unfolded the edict, and everyone inside and outside the dormitory knelt down and bowed their heads, quietly waiting for the arrival of this final decision.
I could only hear him read in his own slightly shrill and old voice:
"The second character of the emperor is Changfeng and his character is precious, and he will be able to overcome the unification and succeed me to the throne, that is, the emperor's throneββ"
After speaking, he folded his sleeves and bowed to Helian Changfeng, who was kneeling on the side of the door of the dormitory.
The hall was full of ministers from the court, and the kneeling people looked at the great prince on the other side, who also knelt down to listen to orders.
I was still sitting in the dormitory half-stupidly, facing the eldest prince in the direction of the door, looking over, and seeing his every move most clearly.
When the edict was announced, his face turned pale and he was stunned, and I took a deep breath, presumably he knew it himself.
The person that Emperor Helian called before he died was Helian Changfeng after all, not him......
For so many years, the two have intersected and fought, always strategizing inside and outside the court, but now the decisive victory is just a piece of imperial paper.
is obviously the most beautiful prince, but now he has ended up in a defeat, pity his secret deployment, years of planning, under this glorious and prosperous world, there are hidden piles of his people everywhere, and at the final moment, he lost to a brother who seems to be wandering......
They share hardships, sorrows, endurance and humiliation, blessings and woes, in the turbulent times, it is clear that the brothers who were still in love with each other on the surface before, but now they may use their hands to erase each other's existence for a high position.
I am so embarrassed, there are really no brothers in the imperial city.
As Lian An, a close confidant of the former emperor, kowtowed heavily to Helian Changfeng, a fool, and said Sheng'an, the sound of kowtowing outside the hall rose and fell one after another, please be peaceful.
The eldest prince's gaze slowly swept over everyone's faces, and finally landed on me, staring directly at me, his expression was desolate and painful, and he suddenly closed his eyes, but he did not bow down and kowtow, but got up.
He Lian Changfeng stared at Helian Changfeng with resentful eyes, pointed at his nose, and scolded loudly: "Helian Changfeng! Good for you, Helian Changfeng! The people all say that this imperial city is dangerous, and it is true, you secretly hooked up with important ministers of the imperial court, thinking that there was a queen behind you as a backer, poisoning your father, and secretly hiding the tiger talisman of the Southern Army, and now you dare to pretend to pretend to be a holy decree with the intention of rebelling against the usurpation of the throne, you are so bold! β
"Presumptuous! How can you be allowed to slander the new emperor! β
"Shut up!" A red-shirted soldier stood up and shouted angrily, and kicked the eldest prince's knees, but the eldest prince did not pay attention, fell down, his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground.
Helian Changfeng turned around and stood up, and after sweeping the kneeling crowd, his eyes fell on the arrogant and domineering prince, but he ignored his crazy words, and lightly ordered the guards with knives behind him: "Detain the eldest prince, no one is allowed to approach Tong, and he will be punished later." β
I sat on the floor with my head in my knees and watched them argue with each other.
Under the order of the new emperor, in the blink of an eye, the great prince has been set up by two guards with knives, and the battle has come to an end, and the winners and losers have been divided. He desperately broke free, the jade crown tied hair has been scattered, obviously he is also a good son, but it is ruined today, his eyes have become crazy, words are not in order, suddenly, he noticed that I was still sitting in the hall, suddenly fell into the devil, screamed, unprepared, he suddenly pulled out the knife hidden in the sleeve, at the two big men who set him up is a wave of waves, the strong man did not pay attention, scratched his wrist, can not bear his madness, accidentally let go. The two cautiously did not speak, but slowly drew their swords and raised them diagonally in front of them, but they did not dare to attack recklessly.
Feeling that there was no threat, the eldest prince held the knife in one hand and ran straight towards me, and the bright shadow of the knife suddenly flashed in front of my eyes.
After dancing twice, his face was hideous, and he shouted in fear: "You group of Xiaoxiao! β
The shadow of the knife was only half an inch away from my eyes, he was kicked away by Feng Qiyi, who was standing next to me, and the eldest prince was hit hard in the abdomen, he collapsed to the side in embarrassment, the corners of his mouth were bloody, laughing, like a neurotic, he pointed to my nose and shouted: "Long song!" Long song! Amusing! Ridiculous! Who do you think you are! You think you've won! You're just a pawn in their hands! It's just a well-planned hoax, and you're so stupid that you can't see it! The sky has no eyes, the sky has no eyesβ"
His voice had stopped, and the next second, I saw that his right chest was suddenly thrust into a sword, the head of the sword came out of his chest, bloody, he looked back in amazement, but the one who stabbed out the long sword went deeper into it, he was already stupid at the moment, sitting on the ground with his neck bent, a pair of eyes were restlessly turning, and his right hand was tightly grasping the long sword that had been penetrated through his chest.
He turned blue and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and he was stunned for a long time before he popped out a few words: "Ahh
My mind has long been frozen in the time of Emperor Helian's death, and I didn't even react to the sword stab just now, Feng Qi asked me in a low voice if I was frightened, I frowned impatiently, although my voice was a little weak but full of momentum: "Feng Qi...... Take me back to the side hall. β
I look at the appearance of the great prince, and his life should not be saved......
Helian Changfeng, really not a person without ambition.
"Girl......
I turned around, my feet were not listening, and I couldn't stand up at all.
I muttered softly, "Is it so sad ......?" β
Bong Chi looked at me, his low and hoarse voice sounded slowly, and he said "rude", took a deep breath, put his arms across my back knees, and hugged me, my chin rested on Bong Chi's shoulder, breathing heavily.
Passing by Helian Changfeng, Feng Qi just nodded his head, as if apologizing, Helian Changfeng, as the new emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, did not have any displeasure with my behavior.
Before leaving, I looked at the eldest prince who was lying in a pool of blood, his purple robe was stained with blood, he pointed at me and said viciously: "Even if you live, it is better to live than to die!" β
In the moments leading up to dawn, darkness did not wait for the light to have covered the earth, and the only light that could pass through the fog was cold and white.
Power really, that good? (To be continued.) )
