"Bell!"

"Bell!"

"Bell!"

A long series of Jingyang death knells spread throughout the capital.

Every household in the city, whether rich or powerful, or a small family, wailed and cried bitterly, and the front door of every house was hung white.

The bell of Jingyang Palace is not qualified to ring even if it is the queen mother, and it will only ring when the emperor dies.

As long as the bell of Jingyang Palace rings, everyone knows that this is the emperor's gone.

The etiquette specifications of the national funeral are extremely rigorous, and the door is hung white, and crying loudly is a necessary process. If anyone makes a fuss about this, it is that the old birthday star eats arsenic and dislikes his family for living too long.

Officials from all walks of life in Beijing, as long as they have grades and titles, no matter what they are doing at the moment, even if they are squatting in the toilet, they have to jump out immediately. Wearing the court clothes, stumbling and not allowed to ride a horse, not allowed to sit in a sedan chair, not allowed to ride a car, rushed to the palace to cry the palace.

Ordinary people are not qualified to cry in the temple, they can only cry at home.

At this time, Wang Xiao had returned to the Xinwang Mansion under the escort of a large number of forbidden troops and brocade guards.

"Meet Shin King Chitose."

When they came to the study, Shen Lian and Lu Wenzhao were already waiting here. In addition, there is a beautiful girl in a long dress.

"Big honey..."

Looking at the familiar faces that often appeared on the screen, Wang Xiao was inexplicably happy in his heart.

"Brother Huang is gone, don't say anything at this moment, don't do anything. All things are understood in the lonely heart. ”

Wang Xiao glanced out of the door, and outside were many brocade guards sent by Wei Zhongxian to guard them.

Wei Zhongxian's power leaned towards the government and the opposition, holding the East Factory and Jinyiwei. Until Wang Xiao completely reveals how to treat him, there will still be danger.

Historically, Emperor Chongzhen falsely departed Wei Zhongxian for several months before banishing Wei Zhongxian.

Wang Xiao naturally won't take such a long time, but he will definitely not touch him before he ascends the throne.

This return to the house is a ceremony, and he has to wait for the civil and military officials to invite him to the palace.

Although this is basically equivalent to taking off your pants, this is the case with this set of rituals designed by Confucianism, and it is impossible to weigh it unless it is magnificent.

The ceremony is not cumbersome, and all kinds of bells and whistles are endless. How can ordinary people be in awe?

Shen Lian was a little confused, he was still being hunted down before, why did his painting style suddenly change.

And the big honey... Hokusai looked at Wang Xiao who was drinking tea with affection. She firmly believes that the wise and martial King Xin will definitely avenge her family and get rid of Wei Zhongxian, who has brought disaster to the country and the people.

"Shen Lian."

Wang Xiao put down the teacup and looked at him, "Is there anyone named Lu Jianxing in the Jinyi Guard, and there is another named Jin Yichuan." ”

Shen Lian raised his head in surprise, "Back to Your Highness, Jinyi Wei Baihu Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan are sworn brothers of Weichen." ”

Wang Xiao tidied up his sleeves, "Since it is your brother, he must also be a loyal and patriotic person." When this happens, you bring them to see Lonely. ”

Shen Lian was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

Lu Jianxing's family has been a brocade guard for generations, but it is a pity that his son has inherited his father's business for many years, but he still can't even do it for a hundred households, and he is just a small general banner.

The three of them are all the types of people who have no money, no way out, and no ambition among the brocade guards. At this time, he was actually valued by the future emperor, and the realization of his ambition was just around the corner.

Wang Chengen, who was standing on the side with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, sighed in his heart, although His Royal Highness was young, he already had the posture of a bright monarch. A few casual gossip gathered people's hearts, and Daming Zhongxing is hopeful.

Wang Xiao is really not gossiping, he is really ready to reuse these three brothers and Lu Wenzhao.

Wang Xiao, who has read so many historical materials in the late Ming Dynasty, will never dismantle Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

The Chongzhen Emperor in history was fooled and lame by those big turbans, and he abandoned his martial arts. As a result, the Ming Dynasty ran all the way under the pull of the big turbans and jumped directly into the abyss.

Wang Xiao will not only not abolish these two departments, but will vigorously strengthen them.

In order to avoid the appearance of characters like Wei Zhongxian again, Shen Lian, whose character has been fully confirmed in the movie, is the best candidate to control them separately.

"By the way, I heard that you have a crush on a woman named Zhou Miaotong in the Teaching Workshop Division?" Wang Xiao's gaze swept over Hokusai, and he debunked Shen Lian meaningfully, "If you have a heart, this matter will be decided for you alone." ”

Hokusai has always had a crush on Shin King, until he was finally betrayed by Shin King to kill people, and then he devoted himself to protecting Shen Lian in extreme frustration.

As for now, the two of them are not there yet.

Although this has not happened yet, Wang Xiao would rather cut off this possibility in advance.

Big honey is mine!

Shen Lian was shocked that King Xin's intelligence system was so good, and his little secret had never been told to outsiders, but it could be found out. But on the other hand, it was a great grace to him.

Even though he knew that Wang Xiao was buying people's hearts, Shen Lian still thanked him without hesitation.

Wang Xiao's gaze finally turned to Hokusai.

"I've known about you for a long time, and now I can't promise you anything." Wang Xiao's voice was gentle: "I just hope you can give me time." I don't say big things, I only show them with actions. ”

Hokusai, who was already secretly in love with King Shin, could stand this, his face was red and his ears were red like blood. Lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at Wang Xiao: "Slave maid, everything is arranged by His Highness." ”

Wang Xiao smiled and nodded, and then he was about to prepare to watch the play.

The transfer of power after the death of the Emperor of the Apocalypse was not all smooth sailing.

Wei Zhongxian, who has enjoyed the happiness of leaning towards the government and the opposition, knows very well what it means to be a son of heaven and a courtier. And he had already received the news that King Xin and the Donglin Party had reached an agreement, and they would liquidate him after he came to power.

In order to protect themselves, but also to continue to control power. Wei Zhongxian is trying to save himself.

He learned from his predecessors in the Tang Dynasty, that is, to set up a well-controlled infant emperor.

It's just that Wei Zhongxian's plan went wrong in the first step, and his ally Hakka resolutely opposed taking a baby from the sect to be the emperor. insisted on finding a baby from the people to pretend to be the Hakka family herself and the son of the Emperor of the Apocalypse to succeed to the throne, she wanted to be the queen mother.

This kind of thing is really only in the drama, and everyone in the world is blind and stupid. No matter how good he Wei Zhongxian is, he doesn't have the ability to cover the sky with one hand.

Wei Zhongxian's forces were divided into two parts, one was the Jinyi Guard of the Imperial Palace Dongchang, and the other was the eunuch party of the previous dynasty.

And the reason why the eunuchs took refuge in Wei Zhongxian before was because Wei Zhongxian represented the emperor, and they actually took refuge in the emperor.

Now that the emperor is gone, the foundation of the eunuch party does not exist.

The eunuchs quickly changed their doors and stared at Conglong's Gong. Like the Donglin Party, they all support Empress Zhang Yan. And Empress Zhang Yan's proposal is for King Xin to take over the throne left by his brother.

As for Wei Zhongxian's basic plate, Dongchang and Jinyiwei are also not monolithic.

Like the eunuchs, the reason why they took refuge in Wei Zhongxian was because Wei Zhongxian pulled the emperor's banner as a tiger skin. But now, with Wei Zhongxian's own appeal, few people are really willing to bird him.

In Wang Xiao's view, whether it is Wei Zhongxian's plan or the Hakka family's delusions, they are both buildings in the water, and there is no foundation at all.

Wei Zhongxian woke up early, and he could still go to Fengyang to guard the retreat of the imperial mausoleum. And Hakka is a spicy and ignorant stupid woman, and her miserable end has long been doomed.

Wang Xiao, who has insight into all this, responds to all changes with no change, and doing nothing at this time is the best choice. Those who aspire to learn from the dragon's power will desperately take the initiative to push him to that chair.

As for saying that Wei Zhongxian is not good for himself or something, let's not talk about whether any of his subordinates dare to risk assassinating the king and killing him to do things for him. Even if someone was really willing to die, he Wei Zhongxian would not dare to do it.

In the past few years that Wei Zhongxian has been in power, his foundation has not been solid at all.

Even Jinyiwei and Dongchang can't be fully controlled. Not to mention the Beijing camp and the forbidden army in Beijing.

The British duke, who held military power, would never cooperate with Wei Zhongxian. If he really dared to attack Wang Xiao, even if the Jingying with poor combat effectiveness couldn't destroy him, but the army of King Qin in the whole world would kill him, and he Wei Zhongxian wouldn't even think about a bone or two.

Wei Zhongxian, who is also a little clever, will never dare to take risks.

So Wang Xiao doesn't need to do anything, just watch the play.

Two days later, the ministers, who had long been impatient, finally contacted Empress Zhang and the British duke. The three battalions were all dispatched to take over the market, and hundreds of civil and military generals and thousands of soldiers came to King Xin's mansion to invite King Xin into the palace.

And Wei Zhongxian's side is already scattered. Not to mention that the eunuchs all ran away, Jinyiwei also turned against each other. As for Dongchang, his godson Zhao Jingzhong was the first to jump out to bring down Wei Zhongxian.

It was only at this time that Wei Zhongxian finally understood that without the emperor behind him, he was nothing at all.

The reason why those predecessors of the Tang Dynasty were able to succeed was because they held military power in their hands. But he, Wei Zhongxian, can't even control Jinyiwei and Dongchang!

Wei Zhongxian accepted the fate of his defeat and prepared to surrender to King Xin, hoping that he would be able to leave his old life behind.

And the Hakka family is still going crazy, dreaming of becoming the queen mother.

Before Wang Xiao entered the palace, Queen Zhang Yan sent someone to take down the Hakka family, flogged to death in the Huanyi Bureau, and burned the body in Jingle Hall to raise ashes.

The Hakka family once killed the child in Queen Zhang's womb, and she has finally avenged this revenge now.

Wang Xiao rode a snow-white horse and slowly entered the palace gate.

Behind him was hundreds of military generals.

The Wenchen was headed by Shi Fenglai, the official who delivered the edict, and the military general was headed by Zhang Weixian, the British duke who was in charge of the military power in the capital.

Shi Fenglai was originally an important member of the eunuch party, but after the death of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he was the first to jump out to support Wang Xiao. This work from the dragon, he can be regarded as earning.

As for the seventh-generation British Duke Zhang Weixian, this is his second time as the king of Qin.

Seven years ago, it was also Zhang Weixian who came forward at an emergency moment and personally carried the sedan chair to carry the Emperor of the Apocalypse from the Qianqing Palace to the Wenhua Hall to inherit the throne.

And now, it was he who entered the palace at the behest of the empress to accept the edict of the Emperor Lixin of the Apocalypse to succeed to the throne, destroying the ambitions and calculations of Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family.

Behind the mighty military generals of Wenchen were thousands of captains in brocade clothes wearing wingless gauze hats from the three mountains and wearing black partridge brocade clothes.

The three Shen Lian brothers and Lu Wenzhao are among them.

And behind the Jinyi pro-army, there is a mighty army of Beijing that can't see the end at a glance.

In the face of this force, Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka clan are simply ridiculously small.

Wang Xiao on horseback looked up at the majestic noon gate in front of him, his eyes clear.

"I'm coming."
