Chapter 196: Seizure of the throne

Pei Yuan knew that there must be something urgent when Liuyu was still in a hurry so late, but he didn't expect such a big thing to happen in the capital, and after learning that something had probably happened, Pei Yuan said angrily: "He was really in a hurry to jump off the wall, and even used such a dirty method." ”

"The princess won the royal gold medal, but she can only save two young masters, but it's good that you're back, prince." Liuyu said happily.

Pei Yuan originally planned to find a place to rest for the night when he got out of this fork in the road, but after listening to Liuyu's words, Pei Yuan instructed: "Speed up your journey and meet Shi Xiangjie as soon as possible." ”

Pei Yuan took Liuyu and the others along the way without resting for a moment, and rushed to Shi Xiangjie overnight to camp on the outskirts of Beijing to meet him.

Shi Xiangjie didn't care about resting when he got the news, he put on a piece of clothing and came out to greet these people, Pei Yuan first arranged for those who followed behind to rest, and then signaled Shi Xiangjie to go inside to talk.

Liuyu and Yuanyang Yuanxu were guarding outside, Pei Yuan handed the edict of succession he took out from the palace to Shi Xiangjie, Shi Xiangjie took the bright yellow scroll suspiciously, and after reading it in a few clicks, he was surprised: "But the emperor ...... him back then."

"Yes, no one has verified the authenticity of the edict taken out by the emperor, has it? The date on this is much earlier than the emperor's share. Pei Yuan said coldly.

Shi Xiangjie sat on the couch, raised his eyes and looked at Pei Yuandao, "How are you going?" The emperor is Li Dai Taozhuang, there are not many people in the DPRK who support the emperor, if this matter breaks out, you should have a great chance of winning. ”

"I wasn't going to fight, but now I have to fight," Pei Yuan sat next to Shi Xiangjie and looked at the scroll in his hand, and told Shi Xiangjie about Shen Xiang's matter, "The emperor has reached this point, if we don't resist, we will be killed by him sooner or later." ”

Shi Xiangjie didn't expect such a big thing to happen to the Shen family, and the emperor was so intolerant: "Don't worry, as long as you say it, I will definitely support you, even if my father is here now, I will definitely support every decision you make." ”

Pei Yuan has endured so far, but he has not gained any benefits, and now he really has to seize the throne for himself, for Shen Jiahe and the person above, "I want to enter the palace and replace him!" ”

Shi Xiangjie looked at Pei Yuan's determined expression, turned around and took out his own talisman, he opened the box and put it in front of Pei Yuan: "This talisman is my greatest support for you, when you sit in that position, give Xiang Yuan's marriage first." ”

Pei Yuan couldn't help laughing: "You just want to be like this, you don't ask for an official position, you don't ask for gold and silver, you only ask your cousin for a marriage decree." ”

Shi Xiangjie played with the talisman in his hand and laughed: "We are not all the same, the previous forbearance, and the current decision is not all for the sake of the family around me to live better, I have nothing to ask for now, but Xiang Yuan wants to marry Shen Jiajue in a beautiful way, and I, as a brother, don't want to satisfy her!" ”

"Deal!" Pei Yuan shook his hand together.

Pei Yuan and Shi Xiangjie in order not to startle the snake, the two first led a small team into Beijing and the troops in the city to gather, after the border battle, Pei Yuan's reputation in the army was very high, and the leading generals were a little surprised after learning Pei Yuan's intentions, "Did the prince really think clearly?" At this point, if you start, there is no turning back. ”

"Naturally, the emperor is persecuting the Shen family like this, he is persecuting this king, if this king does not take the initiative to attack, he can only be reduced to fish on a sticky board."

The matter of Shen Xiang's family has been rumored in the capital, and the generals in the army have also heard about it, the Shen family and the palace are equivalent to a family, and it is not difficult to understand that the prince has such a move.

What's more, Pei Yuan also took out the edict of the first emperor, and the two senior leaders in the army said that it was indeed the handwriting of the first emperor, and they decided to cooperate with Pei Yuan's dispatch at the moment.

Shi Xiangjie took the first step back to the outskirts of Beijing to rectify the large troops left there, while Pei Yuan's led several leaders in the capital to replace all the soldiers guarding the gate with their own people at midnight when the various passes of the capital and the palace changed shifts.

Shi Xiangjie began to return to the capital early in the morning of the second day, and after entering the city, Pei Yuan and Shi Xiangjie went to the palace to see the emperor together, and the emperor was very satisfied with the results of this disaster relief: "King Xian and Lord Xiao Shi did a very beautiful job this time, and I am very pleased." ”

"I don't know what reward you want, I will do my best to satisfy you." The emperor said to the two with a smile.

Shi Xiangjie looked at Pei Yuan, but Pei Yuan took out the Gu poison sample given to him by Shangguan Ning from his arms and said to the emperor: "The emperor once went to southern Xinjiang once, and when he came back, he told his younger brother about many legends in southern Xinjiang. ”

The emperor looked at the small box in his hand, and a black pill like a worm was presented in front of his eyes, exactly the same, exactly the same as the woman handed over to him back then, even the small box containing Gu poison was the same.

After so many years, he had long sealed that past into his memory, but Pei Yuan wanted to pick it up, and he had to let himself see the same things in the past.

Pei Hao looked at the things in Pei Yuan's hand, and then looked at the emperor's face, and he could guess some things, it seems that it was not Pei Yuan and his mother guessing out of thin air, Pei Yuan really found evidence, and I am afraid that Pei's family is really going to change the sky.

It took a long time for the emperor to speak, "I want to reward the soldiers for this disaster relief, and as for the small things in the hands of King Xian, I will study them carefully after the next dynasty." ”

Pei Yuan didn't care about this, and only smiled: "Okay, the younger brother will definitely tell the emperor about the origin of this little thing." ”

After the discussion was over, the chief manager announced his retirement from the dynasty with a sharp voice, Pei Yuan was naturally left alone, Shi Xiangjie glanced at Pei Yuan before leaving, Pei Yuan only said to him with his mouth: "Act according to the plan." ”

Shi Xiangjie was the last to walk out of the main hall, looked at the hundred officials who were trapped by several leaders of the army, and only smiled: "Don't panic, adults, I just want to ask you to talk." ”

Someone shouted, "General Shi, what is this doing?" Are you going to talk to us, or are you going to catch us doing something? ”

Shi Xiangjie waved his hand and instructed several leaders: "I have prepared lunch in the Zhuangzi of Beishi, let's go and have a meal together, everyone, please!" ”

The hundred officials don't know why, but General Shi has soldiers in his hands, whether they want to follow today or not, they have to go, rather than being tied up with a rope and thrown into the car, it is better to go up by themselves with dignity.

Shen Jiahe received Pei Yuan's secret letter last night, and even if he ordered Gonggong Fu to guard the entire palace, the guards in the palace, whether they were on duty at night or resting, all began to stand guard in turn, and not a single fly was allowed to come in.

The secret guards guarding around the palace also got the news early in the morning, and they were not hiding their identities at this time, and directly appeared to guard Shen Jiahe's side.

Although she was very confident in Pei Yuan's ability, Shen Jiahe was still worried when she learned that they were going to change the palace, and she personally sat in the main hall to guard the palace, for fear of a little accident.

Zhou Qian watched the soldiers of Jing Zhaoyin suddenly turn into soldiers in the barracks on the street to maintain order, and knew that something big was going to happen in the palace, so he hurriedly closed the shops, knowing that it was not appropriate to show his head at this time, this matter can be big or small, maybe it will endanger the heads of ordinary people, it is better to hide.

Shi Xiangjie and his people have already gone to the mansion that has been prepared a long time ago, there are no maids in it, only soldiers in armor, the wine and food are really ready, and the officials who pay attention to eating and drinking can even recognize that these are the meals of Piaoxianglou.

But no one had the heart to move the chopsticks, so they could only sit with each other, and in the end, they couldn't stand up and asked, "What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Master Xiao Shi?" Now let's talk about it. ”

Shi Xiangjie stood on the top of the steps and looked down at everyone and said loudly: "Today, the emperor has made a fake succession book, so that Li Daitao can sit on the throne of God." ”

"What are you talking nonsense, Shi Xiangjie, are you so rebellious because you want to be grabbed like Shen Xiang?" Pei Shu looked at Shi Xiangjie in disbelief.

Shi Xiangjie sneered: "It is your father who should say that the great rebellion is not me, I am just stating a fact, the first emperor passed the throne to King Xian Pei Yuan, and it was your father who stole the throne of King Xian Pei Yuan." ”

Pei Shu stepped forward and pointed his sword at Shi Xiangjie and said, "Shut up in the palace, come on, arrest this rebellious thief in the palace." ”

The people in the courtyard were motionless, only Pei Shu's brothers walked up, Shi Xiangjie glanced at their brothers with contempt and ordered in a deep voice: "Come on, bring this group of chaotic ministers and thieves to the general, and when the new emperor ascends the throne, there will naturally be a verdict against you." ”

Pei Shu was still struggling, but where was there so many soldiers, and after a while, there were no more of them in the courtyard, Shi Xiangjie looked at the stunned ministers, and continued: "Who is the chaotic minister and thief, who is the real emperor, I believe that all the adults will not agree with it because of a few words, rest assured, King Xian has the real edict of the first emperor, and several adults in Hanlin have followed the first emperor for many years, and they will definitely be able to recognize the authenticity." ”

The soldiers who stayed in the palace began to gather in the direction of the main hall under the leadership of several leaders, and the emperor was still in the main hall and Pei Yuangu said to him: "How can I see this thing, King Xian went to southern Xinjiang without anything, but concealed the date of his return, this matter is on the basis of your completion of the task, I will not care about you." ”

Pei Yuan laughed, and didn't want to play dumb riddles with the emperor anymore, so he said bluntly: "The emperor really hasn't seen it?" Or do you dare to admit that you have seen it, this thing has appeared on the fourth brother's body, and it is because of this thing that the fourth brother will die, and he will not be able to kill the murderer until he dies. ”

"Your fourth brother died of a strange disease, you don't want to talk nonsense about this kind of thing, I know that you and your fourth brother have a close relationship, but this kind of rumor-mongering should not be said casually." The emperor felt that his wrist was trembling, and wanted to reprimand Pei Yuan, but he couldn't raise his voice.

"Back then, the mother concubine found out that the fourth brother was killed by Gu poison, and she wanted to catch the evidence of your harm to the fourth brother with the fourth brother, but unexpectedly you found out in advance, so they died together." Pei Yuan looked at the emperor and smiled bitterly and continued, "I haven't always understood that the Queen Mother was obviously favored back then, but she still framed her mother, why is this?" Later, I found out that it was because of this. ”

The matter has been exposed, and the emperor laughed lowly: "Yes, it's a pity that you let it know, and let you get this Gu poison, your mother will die when she took care of things that shouldn't be taken care of, and you will have to pay the due price for your recklessness today!" ”

Saying that, the embarrassed and angry emperor pounced on Pei Yuan, Pei Yuan just turned on one side, and dodged the emperor's palm, which hit the pillar along the corridor in the main hall, and the soldiers at the door heard the movement and immediately rushed in, but the emperor was surrounded in an instant.

The emperor looked at the soldiers surrounding him in surprise: "You ...... You people! ”

Pei Yuan took out the talisman that Shi Xiangjie gave him and raised it in front of the emperor: "They don't belong to you now, so you don't have to work in vain." ”
