In fact, it is no wonder that Xiao Jinxuan was nervous, and even angrily accused Xiao Jiajun and Zhou Xiantai of being in the same stream.

After all, except for this Prince of Tai, throughout the territory of the Great Zhou, there is no one who can supply tens of thousands of black iron armor.

Therefore, even Xiao Jinxuan didn't believe in her heart that the Xiao family, who was known for their loyalty and martyrdom in her previous life, would do something like a rebel, but the other party's neat and uniform black armor had to make people wonder.

And almost as soon as Xiao Jinxuan's words were asked, he saw Xiao Yihan, who had already carried the bow and arrow in his hand to his shoulder, although he was a military general, he exuded an elegant atmosphere.

Seeing that he was stunned for a moment, he immediately looked at Xiao Jinxuan, and then said:

"You are Cousin Jinxuan, my mother has mentioned my sister many times in the letter. And for more than a year, my brother has been more aware that my cousin has always been by my mother's side. As for the time when the mother's bad news came, although the person who delivered the letter from the Shuai Mansion did mention the cause of her mother's death, it was unclear in the end, only that she died in the fire. Therefore, when the matter is over, my cousin really needs to disturb my cousin and tell me exactly why my mother died. ”

Regarding Shen Yunchu's death, Xiao Jinxuan really owed Xiao Yihan an explanation, so just when she was about to nod her head and promise.

But before she could say her words, she was interrupted by Xiao Ting, who was standing beside Xiao Yihan.

I saw Xiao Ting, who had a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle, and after he looked at Xiao Jinxuan with a few serious glances without a smile, he chuckled and said:

"Xiao Jinxuan? When I was on the frontier, I heard the fourth brother mention your daughter, and said that you are witty and intelligent, and that you are a woman who can afford things. When I saw me today, I realized that the fourth brother's words were indeed true, and I, Xiao Ting, really had a niece who didn't let me shave my eyebrows. You girl is actually talking openly and secretly, all of you are saying that my Xiao family army is colluding with others, and you dare to speak like this in front of my tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, Jinxuan, you are the first girl. ”

Xiao Ting's serious appearance, coupled with sharp edges and corners, the appearance of a natural military general makes people feel that this person must be difficult to get along with after seeing him for the first time.

In fact, as everyone knows, although Xiao Ting is indeed silent, this military general-born person is also extremely bold, even informal.

Therefore, although Xiao Jinxuan's words were quite abrupt, and there were even some questions in them, in Xiao Ting's opinion, he felt that this niece was quite courageous, so he fell into his eyes.

And Xiao Yiming, who is the eldest grandson of the Shuai Mansion, saw that his father, who rarely laughs, not only looked at Xiao Jinxuan differently, but also praised him very much.

Immediately, Xiao Yiming couldn't help but think of his biological mother Zhao, and in a letter to the family sent to him, she mentioned several times how she was bullied by Xiao Jinxuan.

That will make Xiao Yiming quite annoyed with Xiao Jinxuan in his heart, but now when he really saw the other party himself.

Looking at Xiao Jinxuan, who was standing in front of her, she was calm, calm and intelligent.

Xiao Yiming didn't think that this cousin, who obviously seemed to be involved in the situation in the court, must not be very enthusiastic about bullying those women in the back house.

Therefore, Xiao Yiming, who felt more and more suspicious about Zhao's past accusations, couldn't help but let go of the mustard in his heart for Xiao Jinxuan, and even followed Xiao Ting's words, and immediately stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Cousin Jinxuan, I'm your cousin Xiao Yiming, I guess you misunderstood. In fact, the reason why our Xiao family's light cavalry is now dressed in black armor is because on the way back to Beijing, we met Prince Tai, who led 20,000 black armor iron cavalry. And when we noticed that the square was suspicious, and that this large group of soldiers and horses was by no means formed by the imperial court, we immediately fought with each other. ”

And after Xiao Yiming gave a general explanation of the cause of the incident, Xiao Yihan, who had a very good impression of Shen Chuyun because he always mentioned how good Xiao Jinxuan was in the letter, went on to explain in person:

"Although the combat effectiveness of these 20,000 black-armored iron cavalry is amazing, my Xiao family army has 50,000 light cavalry, so in the end, I still captured more than 10,000 people alive and killed 7,000 people and horses. At this time, Prince Tai said that the Beijing division had moved, and he led his troops back to King Changping Qin to protect him. Therefore, when we couldn't tell whether the other party's words were true or false, we simply changed into the clothes of the black-armored iron horseman, and prepared to enter Beijing to see who would pick us up, so as to find out what this group of people wanted. ”

And almost as soon as Xiao Yihan finished speaking, he saw Xiao Yijun, who had been fighting with Zhou Xianyu for several days, immediately strode towards Xiao Jiajun's side, and shouted loudly and indignantly:

"Father, eldest brother, cousin Yi Han, don't be deceived by Prince Tai, he is trying to usurp the throne at all. His Royal Highness took our Beijing military camp for several days, and only then did he attack the palace with fewer victories. Now that the emperor has been killed by Empress Xue, it is good that our Xiao Jiajun is back, and we will definitely be able to assist Prince Rui to ascend the throne and become the emperor. ”

As soon as he heard that Emperor Ming had died, Xiao Ting, who was still able to calm down, immediately grabbed his second son Xiao Yijun with frowns, and then asked in shock:

"Yi Jun, if you are suitable, you are serious, is Your Majesty really dead. It's still a step too late to catch up. If what you say is true, then what Prince Tai did, my Xiao family will never agree. ”

But at this moment, Xue Hou, who was suddenly caught by Zhou Xianyu, let out an extremely contemptuous laugh.

Then I saw Empress Xue calmly walk in front of Xiao Ting step by step, and then Feng Yi said:

"General Xiao, your youngest son was just bewitched by the two brothers Zhou Xianyu and Zhou Xianrui. I'm afraid the general doesn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been killed by the king, and Xiantai, as the second son of His Majesty, inherits the throne, so why should he usurp the throne. And when you enter the imperial city, you should definitely see that it is King Rui who leads the troops to besiege the forbidden courtyard of the palace, and this kind of behavior is equivalent to forcing the palace to rebel. And if it weren't for General Han's shot and an arrow, he would have been captured by the king in the future. I am his mother, and such an unfilial act can see the other party's wolf ambitions. ”

The prince's accession to the throne is a major event for the country, even if the Xiao family and the Xue family of the Prime Minister's Mansion have indeed been in friction for a long time.

But in this case, seeing that both sides have their own opinions, they will not be biased, and they dare not easily believe Xiao Ting on either side.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided to invite Zhou Xiantai and Zhou Xianrui first, and then judge who is the real heir to the throne selected by Emperor Ming.

Zhou Xiantai was captured by the Xiao family army before, and Zhou Xianrui was under the city gate, and after recognizing the person as Xiao Ting, he ordered the Beijing military camp to stay put, and voluntarily entered the imperial city with the other party.

And when these two princes were invited into the palace, Empress Xue relied on herself as the mother of a country, the honor of the queen, with Xiao Ting and others here, Zhou Xianyu would definitely not do anything to her.

Therefore, Empress Xue almost immediately took Zhou Xiantai's hand, and then led the other party to walk towards the dragon chair on the high platform of the Jinluan Palace, obviously with the posture that the other party was the heir to the orthodox throne.

And the white willow on the side, this will also be very smart and clever, almost after Zhou Xiantai ascended the high platform and stood in front of the dragon chair.

She immediately bowed to her husband, bowed to the ground, and shouted long live my emperor, with a posture that the identity of Zhou Xiantai's prince had been determined.

Seeing that the three of Empress Xue's mother and son and Bai Liu, the shameful practice of directing and acting by themselves, before Emperor Ming took his last breath, he promised that the other party would inevitably assist Xiao Jinxuan, who Zhou Xianrui ascended to the throne.

She didn't speak much, but when she saw that Zhou Xianrui, the main master, had come, she immediately crossed over everyone and came to the other party's side, and then raised her voice and said:

"The queen mother won't think that whoever sits down on this dragon chair first will be on this throne. You should save such a child's play, Lord Rui, please take out His Majesty's edict and let everyone see who is the orthodox prince. ”

And waited until Zhou Xianrui took out the edict of Emperor Ming from his arms, and asked Meng Mian, who followed him into the palace, to read it aloud, and after Xiao Ting also took the jade seal seal on the holy decree to Xiao Ting for confirmation.

Seeing that the edict was correct, he immediately heard that Zhou Xian was wise and wise, and he also felt in his heart that Xiao Ting, who was bound to be the benevolent lord when the other party ascended the throne, wanted to kneel down and bow to the new emperor, but he didn't want to be stopped immediately by Empress Xue's words on the high platform.

"General Xiao is slow, if you want to see just one edict, I can get you countless copies of the same holy decree in the future. As for the jade seal imprint, although it is indeed true, but a while ago, the emperor was seriously ill, and King Rui was allowed to walk around the imperial study at will and review the folds on behalf of His Majesty. If this holy decree was written by Zhou Xianrui himself in advance, and he secretly used the jade seal, then all this is very likely. Therefore, according to the later version, this will is simply a volume of abolition of the edict, and nothing can be proved. ”

And almost as soon as Empress Xue's words about overthrowing Zhou Xianrui were finished, I saw Xiao Jinxuan immediately bow to the ground after glancing at the other party with disdain and sarcasm.

Then I saw that she even rushed out of the secret passage of Zhou Xianyu, and handed over the heirloom jade seal to her for safekeeping, and held it in front of Zhou Xianrui with both hands, and then said in a respectful and solemn voice:

"The queen keeps saying that the second prince is the orthodox heir to the throne, so why didn't Your Majesty hand over the jade seal to your mother and son. On the contrary, when he was dying, he entrusted me and His Royal Highness to hand over the jade seal to Lord Rui. In order to ask the other party to prove the identity of the prince, some treacherous villains in the province will obstruct it and ruin the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years. ”

And then I saw that after Xiao Jinxuan, Zhou Xianyu had already come to Zhou Xianrui's approach.

And in front of this brother, whom he had always respected, he also lifted his armor and knelt down on one knee respectfully, and raised the dragon wrench he wore on the thumb of his right hand.

"I have always been the heir to the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the jade seal of the country, and the dragon wrench finger is indispensable. Before his death, my father handed me the wrench and told me that I would assist my fifth brother to ascend the throne and become emperor. Now that the jade seal has appeared, there is nothing to dispute. Respectfully invite the new emperor to ascend the throne, I, Zhou Xianyu, want to see who dares to stop the fifth brother one step, that is, thousands of troops and horses will pass my pass first. ”

Seeing that Empress Xue's mother and son were there, except for the fact that Zhou Xiantai was the prince of the prince, there was no other certificate of orthodoxy for the prince.

Immediately, Xiao Ting immediately knelt down in front of Zhou Xianrui, expressing his submission to the identity of the other party's new emperor.

Looking at the inside and outside of the Jinluan Palace, the tens of thousands of soldiers who knelt on the ground and bowed to Zhou Xianrui, Xue Hou stumbled and almost didn't fall off the high platform when he was unstable.

Immediately after that, she clenched her hands into fists unwillingly, but at this moment Xue Hou was clear.

In front of the heirloom jade seal, she is already gone, and she has no power to return to the sky.
