Early the next morning, the morning morning went on as usual.

Emperor Xia sat on the dragon chair and glanced at the civil and military ministers, and suddenly found that the position headed by the left side was empty, this is the position of the prince, what about the prince?

"What about the Prince? Why didn't you come today? Emperor Xia asked curiously.

The civil and military officials were also puzzled.

At this time, Zhuge Yuanba came out and said: "Back to Your Majesty, just now the guards of the East Palace led Li Yuanfang to come to the court, yesterday His Royal Highness suddenly contracted a disease, and now he is bedridden, so he can't participate in the early dynasty." ”

"Bedridden? Is it so serious? Emperor Xia was a little anxious and immediately asked.

Zhuge Yuan said domineeringly: "General Li said that His Royal Highness has been asleep, and yesterday the imperial doctors had no results in diagnosis and treatment, so they went out of the palace and invited Hua Tuo, but even Hua Tuo didn't know the cause, so he could only boil some herbs to clear heat and detoxify." His Highness took the medicine at night and his symptoms were relieved, so he did not disturb His Majesty. ”

Emperor Xia nodded, and asked suspiciously: "The crown prince is also a person who practices martial arts, how could he suddenly get sick?" Let's discuss it first, and I'll pay a visit when it's done. ”

In this way, the early dynasty continued.

Half an hour later, the early dynasty ended, the civil and military officials retreated, and the Xia Emperor also set up the East Palace.

At this time, Lu Su held a jade pendant in her hand, which was her personal jade pendant, but the last time she exchanged identities with Lu Pheasant, this jade pendant was placed in her sister's place. This morning, a forbidden army escort ordered the maid of the East Palace to give it to Lu Su, and he didn't say anything. But Lu Su knew that this was a threat to his sister, so don't hesitate.

Lu Su felt very lucky, if she didn't exchange identities with her sister, then her sister would probably assassinate Emperor Xia for herself, and even if she survived, she would be a sinner.

"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely be able to rescue you this time!" Lu Su clenched the jade pendant.

It didn't take long for His Majesty's guard of honor to come to the gate of the East Palace, and then His Majesty entered the East Palace to visit the sick prince.

Time passed minute by minute, and no one knew what was going on in the East Palace.

But suddenly, Li Yuanfang and Dian Wei rushed out and ordered the prince's personal guards to block the door of the East Palace, and then the two ran away.

It didn't take long for Zhuge Yuanba and Dian Wei to hurry over, and the two entered the East Palace. After a short while, Li Yuanfang invited Li Mingchong, a cabinet scholar!

The forbidden army in charge of guarding outside the East Palace was curious, what happened in the East Palace, and they actually invited the commander of the forbidden army and the cabinet scholars.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhuge Yuanba's face was condensed, and he left the East Palace in a hurry, and immediately summoned the Six Guards Forbidden Army after returning to his official office!

In the past, there were a total of 12 guards in the Great Xia Forbidden Army, which were the left and right Yi guards, the left and right Xiao guards, the left and right military guards, the left and right tun guards, the left and right waiting guards, and the left and right imperial guards.

Here are a few more words, in the earliest days of the Great Xia military system, the twelve guards led the world's soldiers and horses, but later the Great Xia changed the military system and established the five military governors, replacing the role of the twelve guards. And the twelve guards only became an army to protect the emperor and the imperial palace, and naturally, the establishment was also reduced.

Up to now, Emperor Xia has integrated twelve guards and turned them into six guards, namely Yi Wei, Xiao Wei, Wu Wei, Tun Wei, Hou Wei and Jinyi Wei.

At this moment, when Zhuge Yuanba returned to the official office, he immediately summoned six commanders and envoys, and conveyed His Majesty's dictation, ordering the six guards and forbidden troops to increase their manpower to strictly guard the gates of the palace city, prohibiting anyone from entering and leaving, and prohibiting anyone from entering and leaving. Unless you have a decree from Your Majesty. At the same time, the defense of the Kyoto Castle Gate was strengthened, awaiting further orders.

In fact, they all understand that the further order is to block the Kyoto City Gate!

What happened to seal the city gates? The commander of the six guards was puzzled and looked at each other.

Zhang Yu was in charge of the Jinyi Guard, and he asked curiously, "My lord, what happened in the palace?" ”

Zhuge Yuanba glanced at him and said coldly: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" ”

Zhang Yu was instantly deflated, he and Zhuge Yuanba were personal friends, and now Zhuge Yuanba scolded him in front of his colleagues and did not give him face, although Zhang Yu was a little angry, he realized that something big had happened.

"Get moving!" After Zhuge Yuanba arranged the task, he immediately left the palace and rushed to the patrol camp to see Zhang Jinfu, the Marquis of Zhongyong. No one knows what Zhuge Yuanba talked about after seeing Zhang Jinfu, but after Zhuge Yuanba left, Zhang Jinfu immediately urgently summoned all the generals of the patrol battalion to increase vigilance and increase street patrols.

And Li Yuanfang also left the East Palace not long after Zhuge Yuanba left the East Palace, and went out of the palace to invite Xiao Mingying, the king of Zhou!

There are only two old princes alive now, one is Xiao Mingying, the king of Zhou, who served as the commander of the Zongren Mansion, which is the oldest and oldest in the royal family. followed by another prince, Xiao Hanhai, but he was not in good health, and His Majesty had already ordered him to go to Yangzhou for retirement, and he was no longer in Kyoto.

After Li Yuanfang asked to see Xiao Mingying, he did not explain the reason, only said that His Majesty urgently summoned him and invited him to enter the palace. Xiao Mingying wondered, how did His Majesty urgently summon the prince's personal guard to pass it on, and seeing that he was anxious, there must be something big.

So Xiao Mingying quickly entered the palace.

And all this happened, whether Zhuge Yuanba summoned the six guards or went to patrol the camp, or Li Yuanfang went to invite Xiao Mingying, they were all seen by the secret people.

When they saw Xiao Mingying enter the palace, the secret people knew that Lu Pheasant had assassinated Emperor Xia! Now the cabinet chief and the old prince are in the palace, one is the chief of the ministers, the other is the elder of the royal family, once Emperor Xia has an accident, the two are the ones who preside over the overall situation.

Then, now we have to confirm whether Emperor Xia is dead or not!

So what is the situation in the East Palace at this time?

Xiao Rui, who was supposed to be in a coma, was already awake and was fighting with His Majesty and Haida Fufu as a landlord!

This time it was a three-person fight against the landlord, and it was for money, Xiao Rui and Xia Huang had a good time, but Hai Dafu was frightened, the stakes were too big, he had already lost several times, and the coffin had already bottomed out.

This is the end of offending the prince! Fiddling with yourself for minutes, all the tricks are poisonous! If you don't beat you or scold you, just toss your money to see if you feel distressed.

If he can do it all over again, Hai Dafu chooses to be a little white, pretending to be stupid and being scolded by His Majesty, as long as he doesn't offend His Royal Highness the Prince.

Xiao Rui didn't care about Hai Dafu's psychological description, His Majesty was a landlord in this game, there were only three cards left, Xiao Rui played a three, and the act of releasing water was shameful, which made Hai Dafu's heart tremble, knowing that he lost this game again.

"Father, is it appropriate to invite the emperor's uncle to come?" Xiao Rui couldn't help but ask.

Emperor Xia saw that it was three, and he was overjoyed! hurriedly beat the four out, so that he would win, and then said: "If you want to play a good game, you must invite King Zhou, he is the oldest person in the imperial family, the emperor and the crown prince have an accident, it is necessary to ask him to preside over the overall situation, not to invite him, but to arouse the suspicion of the secret instigator." I know your worries, but King Zhou can believe that I can still believe this! ”

Xiao Rui nodded, since His Majesty has said so, then he must be able to believe it, and he can't believe anyone in everything, and he is suspicious of everyone, and it is easier to leak.

The other side.

After Xiao Mingying entered the palace, he noticed that the palace was guarded and there must be a decree from His Majesty to enter and exit, which made him even more nervous, and when he came to the East Palace, he saw that the East Palace was completely blocked, and he couldn't help but ask: "General Li, what happened!" ”

Li Yuanfang sighed: "Lord Wang, please enter the East Palace and take a look!" ”

Xiao Mingying looked at him with a sad face, and a bad thought arose, and then sped up and rushed into the East Palace, pitying his sixty-year-old man, and he had to walk in small steps.

Through layers of defense, Xiao Mingying walked into the East Palace, and then came to a living room outside under the guidance of Li Yuanfang. He stretched out his hand tremblingly to push the door, the worry in his heart became more and more intense, and at this moment, the room turned out to be... There was a hearty laugh from Emperor Xia!

"A seven! Ha ha... Win! In the end, I was able to win with a four-and-a seven, and my skills were getting better and better. Emperor Xia laughed.

Xiao Mingying was immediately stunned in front of the door, stunned, what the hell!

Immediately, he pushed the door and entered, and saw His Majesty, Xiao Rui, and Hai Dafu sitting and playing cards!

On the other side, three female officials, Li Mingchong, Zhuge Yuanba, and the divine doctor Hua Tuo sat on the other side.

Xiao Rui put a good hand of cards on the table, then got up and arched his hand: "Meet Uncle Huang!" ”

The others said: "The slave and maid visit the prince of Zhou!" ”

Xiao Mingying came back to his senses at this time, and then arched his hand and replied: "Meet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty." The old minister visited the prince, and the prince was blessed with Jin'an. ”

Emperor Xia waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, come on, come on, let's play a game and tell you what happened by the way." ”

Hai Dafu happily moved out of the way, and the last coffin was hugged, happy!

Xiao Mingying sat down, Xiao Rui told the cause and effect, and after Xiao Mingying heard it, his eyes immediately widened, and his face was incredible.

"Ming Yibo's daughter turned out to be the protector of the Black Lotus Sect!" Xiao Mingying looked at Lu Su on the side in shock.

Lu Su showed an embarrassed smile.

It seems that Xiao Mingying and Ming Yibo are also very familiar, think about it, they are both heroes who supported His Majesty to sit on the throne, so they naturally know each other.

At this time, Emperor Xia smiled and said, "According to the prince's plan, I have been killed now, and the prince is unconscious. But I think that the commander must do everything possible to verify my situation, and if he does not verify the situation, he will never reveal his feet. Now the forbidden army, the patrol battalion and you are only the first step of the plan, and the next thing is up to you and Master Li. ”

Xiao Mingying was a little embarrassed, and said: "Your Majesty, you know me, I am more old-fashioned, and my acting skills are relatively rusty, can you hide it from others?" ”

"It's okay, you're going to die." Xia Huang laughed and said nothing.

Xiao Mingying didn't refuse, and at the same time he sighed.

Because he understands that the person who designed all this is not an ordinary person, but must also be a member of the royal family, and in the end, no matter who is found on this matter, it is a wound of the royal family.

This is the temptation of the throne, so that relatives can meet each other.

Next, it depends on how the secret messenger investigates the true situation of His Majesty, and at the same time, Xiao Rui and the others have to let the other party find out the news of His Majesty's "murder", otherwise they will not be able to force their big move!
