After dawn!

Xiong Yue summoned hundreds of officials into the palace to mourn for the Son of Heaven

The officials did not dare not come, otherwise they would lose their reputation and be guilty of great disloyalty.

Although the princes were afraid, they must also be present.

Because this is not a simple mourning, but also the final battle for the throne.

If you don't go, you voluntarily give up power.

Since then, he has withdrawn from the center of power in the Great Zhou.

The mourning bell rang in the palace.

The entire Chang'an immediately fell into an atmosphere of sadness.

The original tension was also overlaid.

All faced the palace.

Silent mourning.

I am grateful for all the big and small things since the emperor ascended the throne.

Hundreds of officials came to Suzaku Street one after another.

The palace doors are wide open.

The soldiers in the formation had strips of white cloth tied to their arms and weapons.

His expression was solemn, and his eyes were cold.

Before entering the palace, everyone also wore white cloths, wrapped around their heads and tied around their waists.

The three princes and nine kings also have to wear linen and filial piety, and wear a white dress.

Don't think it's an insult to them.

Don't think that only Ye Zhen's son needs to wear linen and filial piety.

You must know that Ye Zhen is the emperor, and it is an honor to wear linen and filial piety to the emperor.

You need to have a certain identity.

Ordinary ministers do not have this treatment.

Soon, the hundred officials arrived at the place of worship where the emperor's body was parked at the palace gate.

The queen appeared, and General Annan presided over the overall situation.

Began to mourn Emperor Ye Zhen.

The ceremony, which was supposed to take two hours, was cut to less than half an hour.

Queen Xiongyue is also afraid of long nights and dreams.

So try to keep it simple.

Of course, this is just a mourning offering.

It's not a burial, so the procedure can be simple or complicated.

Baiguan also didn't want to waste his energy here.

Everyone's energy is on competing for positions.

"The country can't be left without an owner for a day, now Your Majesty died suddenly, without leaving an edict, it needs to be discussed by a hundred officials, and now it is moved to the Taiji Hall to participate in major matters!"

Zhang Rang was shown by Queen Xiongyue and sang a sentence.

Then Xiong Yue took the lead and went to the Taiji Temple.

The hundred officials followed behind and discussed in private.

"Your Majesty didn't leave an edict, isn't this too suspicious!"

"It's hard to say, Your Majesty was in the prime of life, and he died suddenly, and it is true that he did not leave an edict."

"It seems that Empress Xiongyue is quite fair, if he forged a will in private and made the King of Chu the emperor, then who would be able to fight for it."

"Justice, justice, why did you send troops to take over the city defense, why did you attack the southern city, why didn't you see Ye Qiu and Cao Cao, the two masters of the town and country, appear, I think it is the queen who wants to forcibly support the king of Chu!"

"That's right, now the most powerful King Xiaoyao is dead, the most likely to inherit the throne of King Xiliang has not returned to Beijing, and the Marquis of Hongnong, who has the support of the family, is far away in Hongnong County.

There are only three people in the capital: the king of Fufeng County, the king of Luoyang, and the king of Wucheng. “

"Among the three, only King Fufeng has the ability to compete, but you know the bones of civil officials, but they are not so tough, and most of them have already been won over by the queen.

Otherwise, where did the queen get the confidence to dare to discuss it. ”

"Silk, it's really possible, it's over, it's a conspiracy!"

"It's only now that I can see it, you are old and confused, there are still doubts about Your Majesty's death, and Da Zhou is worried!"

mentioned Ye Zhen's death.

The faces of the crowd were solemn.

One by one, they became worried.

"The queen still dares to kill people!"

A loyal and upright minister, he gritted his teeth and said.

"It's hard to say, Huang Lao, you still don't want to be strong, after all, it's not worth it!"

Not worth it!

The white-haired old man Huang was stunned.

Then I understood what the other party meant.

If the King of Xiliang or the King of Freedom is here, then it is possible to fight.

Like Ye Tao and others, it is a little bit worse.

There's no need to put yourself on the hook for the sake of a few of them.

"Hmph, no matter what the reason, loyalty is loyalty, disloyalty is disloyalty, killing the king is killing the king, there is still my surname Huang in the court of the Great Zhou, so you can't mess around!"

Huang Lao lives on crutches, his body is rickety, his gait is slow, and he walks alone, but he exudes the light of justice, which makes people dare not approach.

Only Dong Huang stepped forward to support Huang Lao.

Huang Lao glanced at Dong Huang and snorted coldly: "Meng Gao, you are not a virtuous minister, why don't you protect King Xiaoyao and let the first emperor send him to Hanzhong in chaos, but if you do your best and do some personnel, now you will not let the court lose its tyranny and let the Chu Yue family become bigger!" ”

Sweat!

Dong Huang sweats violently!

Huang Lao, you are really not afraid of death.

Today is the blood sacrifice Xuanyuan.

"Huang Lao, there are some things that can't be changed by manpower!"

Dong Huang persuaded.

Under the general trend, everyone has to bow their heads.

"Hmph, things are man-made, people will win the day, I ...... Don't believe in fate! ”

After speaking, Huang Lao shook off Dong Huang's hand and stepped forward alone.

…………

Outside the southern city of Chang'an!

Ye Qing and the others were dressed in civilian clothes, all of them were disguised, and then rode their horses and galloped over.

But the gates were closed.

"Who dares to approach the city gate, there is no mercy!"

Ye Qing and the others were forced to stop by the arrows shot from the city.

Ye Qing gestured to Zhang Sanfeng beside him.

Zhang Sanfeng said: "Dare to ask which part of the defenders in the city is, we were ordered to go back to the city on business, and please be accommodating!" ”

When the defenders of the city heard that they were returning to the city on business, they did not have such great hostility.

replied: "We are the Tiger Guards, now that Chang'an is closed down, you can't enter the city, find a place to rest by yourself, and wait until the city is lifted!" ”

Tiger Guards!

Ye Qing and the others laughed.

As long as it's not other troops, that's easy to say.

The Tiger Guards are the closest to Xiaoyao Mansion.

Especially the cavalry of the Tiger Guard, as well as the leader Qin Hu.

Ye Qing signaled with a look, and Zhang Sanfeng jumped to the city with his legs.

The speed of the movements, as well as the prowess of martial arts, frightened the defenders of the city.

Without waiting for them to react back, Zhang Sanfeng turned around with his strength, and the next moment he was behind the guard.

One hand grabbed him and said, "Order, open the door!" ”

This guard is also tough.

Although frightened, he shook his head: "Impossible, we are the Tiger Guards, only His Majesty's order can open the city gate, whether you are from the Chu Yue family or the family civil official line, we will not open the city gate for you." ”

"What if it's Xiaoyao Mansion?" Zhang Sanfeng asked again.

The guard was stunned.

Obviously, this question was not on his mind.

"You're from the Loose House?" The guard recalled in his mind whether there was a master of Zhang Sanfeng's age and appearance in Xiaoyao Mansion.

Zhang Sanfeng said: "I'm asking you, not you're asking me!" ”

"If you are from Xiaoyao Mansion, I suggest that it is best not to enter, the queen sent General Annan to take over the power of the city, control the east city and the west city, and our tiger guards are only barely guarding the south city, as soon as the court meeting is over and a new monarch is elected, we can't keep your Xiaoyao Mansion, listen to me, don't enter the city, go to Hedong!"

The guard is quite sympathetic to Xiaoyaofu, so every sentence is heartfelt.

Zhang Sanfeng was a little surprised, and let go of the hand that was holding the guard's neck.

"Order the opening of the city, with my lord here, the new monarch doesn't have to choose!"

"Lord, who is your lord...... Silk! ”
