Seeing that Zhou Xiantai was not raising objections, his eyes flashed with hesitation, and he listened to her speech silently.

Immediately, she was quite decisive, and her strategy was not inferior to that of others, so she said decisively:

"Our plan has to change now. Didn't your father meet with Zhou Xianyu alone today, no matter whether he will send troops or not, the cause of your father's death will be made by your seventh brother by the queen mother. And your crown prince brother, who has been dead for several months, does not need to be accused of killing the monarch and passing on the throne. At that time, a fire burned down the Chongming Hall where the prince stayed, and it was also said that Zhou Xianyu conspired to rebel and sent people to do it secretly. As long as the charge of killing his father and slaughtering his brother falls like this, it is Zhou Xianyu who is leading the troops to fight, and we stand in the position of the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and the action will become justified. ”

The prince has been dead for more than two months, and the body naturally cannot be preserved, originally Xue Hou planned that as soon as Emperor Ming died, they lied that the other party and Emperor Ming were in the dormitory and burned to ashes together.

Then afterwards, he said that the prince could not afford to continue to wait for the position of prince, and seeing that Emperor Ming was critically ill, he had the heart to kill his father and usurp power.

But in the end, it was noticed by Emperor Ming, and the candlestick fell to the ground during the dispute between father and son, causing a fire and both died.

The emperor's bedroom has always had a forbidden army handle, and countless palace maids are waiting, and the statement that he died in the fire is actually not credible.

But now that the entire palace is under the control of Empress Xue, she only needs to wipe out Deng Chang, Concubine Liang, and even King Yongchang and others one by one.

Then she wants to refer to the deer as a horse, what can she do if she reverses the smoke and white, this so-called truth has always been written by the winner.

But now all these plans have been completely disrupted because of the short-term secret spies of Emperor Ming and Zhou Xianyu.

In fact, she went to end the life of an emperor with her own hands, and Empress Xue was also extremely uneasy in her heart, not as calm as she appeared.

And there has always been no impermeable wall in this world, once she kills the king and kills her husband, it will be revealed one day in the future.

Empress Xue knew that even if Zhou Xiantai ascended the throne, she would be the queen mother, and she would also be unable to escape the possibility of being convicted and punished.

But now that there is no turning back from the bow, the prince has been poisoned and died, except for Zhou Xiantai to ascend the throne and become the emperor, Empress Xue and the Prime Minister are actually in no way back.

Therefore, after listening to Xue Hou's words, he also realized that time was urgent, and he could only improve his chances of winning by acting in advance.

So I saw that Zhou Xiantai immediately stood up, then lifted the python dragon robe, bowed solemnly to Xue Hou, and after kowtowing, he saw him cautiously with a trace of worry and said:

"Now that the queen mother has made a decision, the child will definitely not disappoint you, and I will send 20,000 smoke guards who have been trained for many years to Beijing. The child does not ask for anything else, but hopes that the queen mother can take care of her own safety. After the child ascends the throne, you will be the most noble queen mother of my Great Zhou. The son will definitely give the best of this world to his mother. ”

Hearing this, Empress Xue's eyes couldn't help but flash a hot gaze, she was obsessed with power.

Maybe even Zhou Xiantai, who is a son, doesn't know, but in fact, Empress Xue doesn't just want the identity of a queen mother.

She wants far more than this, even in the harem of the former dynasty, she wants to be the supreme ruler of this Great Zhou.

However, this crazy idea in his heart, even if it was Zhou Xiantai's son, Empress Xue never intended to tell the other party.

Then I saw her after signaling Zhou Xiantai to get up, when she looked at Bai Liu on the side again, she said with a pleasant smile:

"It's been two months, presumably the 10,000 horses and horses that your Huaguo Mansion promised to this palace should also be assembled. Before Xiantai transferred back the 20,000 soldiers and horses of Yanjiawei, the forces that controlled the situation in the Beijing division were about to use these 10,000 people to cooperate with the city defense battalion and the Xiaocai battalion to suppress all those who intended to resist. ”

The Huaguo Mansion is known as the first nobleman of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and after he contacted several nobles, the team formed by these 10,000 private soldiers has long been assembled.

Seeing that Bai Liu did not hesitate, he immediately informed his father Bai Dongyang to immediately transfer troops into the city. Immediately, Empress Xue was satisfied, and at the same time, she did not forget to continue to say:

"Liu'er, my Xiantai can marry you as a concubine, it is indeed his creation. Don't worry, today's queen mother can promise you, as long as Xiantai ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, and after three years of national mourning, I will ask him to canonize you as the queen. The contributions made by your Bai family will not be forgotten in the future. ”

Hearing this, Bai Liu, who was born as a concubine, saw that her dream of being a queen was about to be within reach.

Immediately, she was so excited that she repeatedly promised that she would ask the entire Bai family to assist Zhou Xiantai wholeheartedly until the other party ascended the throne.

After telling everything about it, Empress Xue signaled Zhou Xiantai and Bai Liu to leave the palace and deploy what they had to do.

When there was no one else present in the huge queen's bedroom, Empress Xue couldn't help but turn the ruby phoenix ring in her hand, and then said calmly to Zuo Wen:

"Go and get the pot of poisoned wine that the palace has prepared for itself, in case the palace coup d'état fails, and the self-judgment is used. Because Hongu thought about it carefully, he found that he still wanted to continue to live. Therefore, this wine is not left to myself, and this palace feels that our holy master should drink it even more. ”

After serving Xue for decades, Zuo Wen and this master have long had a tacit understanding.

Therefore, there was no need for Empress Xue to speak too clearly, Zuo Wen had already entered the secret room of the queen's bedroom and took out a wine jug made of smoke and jade.

And after watching this meeting, Xue Hou had already stood up from the phoenix chair, glanced deeply at the smoke and jade wine jug, and said in an empty voice:

"Farewell joy, farewell joy. Parting but to be happy, it is obviously a pot of highly poisonous wine, but it has such a name that makes people's hearts ripple. After all, it's a husband and wife, Zuo Wen will help me change into the queen's court clothes, and then go with me to see off our majesty. ”

As soon as she finished saying this, a trace of melancholy flashed in Empress Xue's eyes, but in an instant, she covered it up again.

As for Empress Xue's vicious thoughts, Emperor Ming, who is still unknown, the Great Zhou Emperor whose life is about to come to an end, is leaning weakly on the bed.

Looking lovingly at Zhou Xianchen, who was lying beside him and crying in tears, Emperor Ming couldn't help coughing lightly and said:

"Chen'er, you are eleven years old now, you are a man, how can the men of my Zhou family always cry like this. You have to promise your father to be a prince like your fifth brother and seventh brother. Contribute to our Great Zhou Jiangshan, assist your fifth brother to benefit the people of Limin, you can remember the words of your father. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Xianchen, who has always been more benevolent and a little timid and cowardly, couldn't help crying louder all of a sudden.

At the age of eleven, Zhou Xianchen clearly understood that his father was about to die soon, and the thought that he would not see Emperor Ming from now on, it was difficult to suppress the discomfort in his heart.

"Father, Chen'er doesn't want you to go. If you're gone, what will my mother and sister do? The queen mother will not let us go, and Chen'er is reluctant to let her father go. ”

Seeing his young son, he knelt down in front of him crying bitterly.

Emperor Ming's eyes couldn't help but reddened slightly, but he still reluctantly comforted:

"Xianchen, you must know that this person will inevitably die if he is alive. Even if the father is the ninety-five, he can't escape the certainty of life and death. As for you and your mother, my father will not give Empress Xue a chance to harm you. So tonight, before my deadline is approaching, leave the palace quickly. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Emperor Ming couldn't help coughing violently, until a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth uncontrollably.

In the exclamation of everyone, he breathed a sigh of relief and strengthened his spirit, and then Emperor Ming pointed at King Yongchang and continued:

"Brother Wang, you take a few steps forward, there is a secret passage in this palace of Brother Wang, which can lead directly to the outside of the imperial city, which has always been an escape path left by the emperors of previous dynasties. Although it is not allowed to be passed on, this secret was told to you decades ago during the Rebellion of the Four Kings. So in a while, you will take Concubine Liang and my two children and leave through the secret passage, I am afraid that it will be difficult to leave if you continue to stay. ”

Since Emperor Ming ascended the throne, these decades have passed, but he and King Yongchang have not blushed once, and the relationship between the two brothers is also extremely close.

So seeing that Emperor Ming would entrust his wife and children, King Yongchang couldn't help but burst into tears, and grabbed Emperor Ming's cold hand as ice, and said comfortingly:

"Brother Huang, I am your elder brother, how can I see that my younger brother is in danger and cannot be saved. If you want to go, we'll leave together, brother won't leave you here. ”

But without hesitation, he shook his head, Emperor Ming couldn't help but raise his eyes and look around, and then said with a look of determination in his eyes:

"I am the emperor of the Great Zhou, and even if I die, I can only die in the palace. Otherwise, I will retreat from the battle, and I will be so frightened by rebellion that I will run away. After he died, what face did he have to meet the emperors of the past dynasties. So Brother Wang, let's go, after all, I have been married to Xue Hou for more than ten years, and I still know a little bit about her temperament. It is estimated that after today's family banquet, she will be impatient and in a hurry to make a move. ”

Seeing that Emperor Ming categorically would not leave, the concubine who had been with the other party for decades, and this king, she had true feelings in the end.

Otherwise, when Xiao Jinxuan entered the palace, she could have rescued Concubine Liang from the palace, but because she couldn't rest assured that Emperor Ming was not at ease, Concubine Liang chose to stay in the end.

So I saw that Concubine Liang would come to Emperor Ming silently, and then she choked up and said:

"Your Majesty, why are you bothered, in fact, today Xianyu entered the palace, why don't you ask him to stay and protect you. If Yu'er is here, with his kung fu, he will definitely be able to protect you safely with one enemy and one hundred. ”

Although Concubine Liang is virtuous, she is a harem concubine in the end, so she only knows that Zhou Xianyu is good at fighting, but she doesn't understand the truth that one can defeat a hundred, but she can't defeat a thousand enemies.

Today's family banquet Zhou Xianyu went to the meeting alone, and it was useless to leave him. And Emperor Ming knew that if he really told his situation, this son would definitely not leave.

At that time, not only Zhou Xianyu's life will be difficult to protect, but the 20,000 soldiers and horses in the Beijing military camp will also be leaderless, and now although the other party has left gloomily, Emperor Ming believes that if the Beijing division is in danger, this son will definitely come back to escort him.

But now he didn't have the time or the physical strength to explain everything to Concubine Liang, so he immediately signaled the other party to get up quickly, and Emperor Ming ordered everyone to leave immediately, otherwise it would be disrespectful.

As a subordinate, he naturally had to obey the emperor's will, so even if King Yongchang and others were unwilling to leave, they had to leave.

And just as everyone was walking towards the secret passage in the depths of the palace, looking at Xiangping who was silently following behind everyone, Emperor Ming couldn't help but stop this daughter he had always loved the most.

"Xiang'er, it's good for you to come to my father's side, my father can't remember how long it has been since I saw you smile at me. I know that because of Mo Linzhi's affairs, you have always had a knot with your father. But now that my father is about to die, don't you really want to talk to me, this child? ”
