Thirteen civil and military ministers gathered together, and after discussing for a while, their eyes were all on Li Mingchong.

Zhongyong Marquis Zhang Jinfu's temperament is more "impatient", mainly because he is a drama trustee, he did not appear in this big play, and now he finally seized the opportunity, so he asked eagerly: "Lord Li, why did Your Majesty summon me to come here?" Everyone is here, can you reveal it? ”

The crowd nodded.

Li Mingchong sighed and said heavily: "Ladies and gentlemen, this official is here to announce a sad and shocking news... His Majesty was seriously injured by the assassins and died, and the crown prince was also poisoned by the assassins, and he has died today. ”

"What?"

Bang bang...

The twelve people were so shocked that they stood up one after another, looking at each other in shock.

"Master Li, this matter is not trivial, are you sure?" Ye Xiu, the governor of the Chinese Army's Governor's Mansion, asked in a deep voice.

"Is it the auditory hallucination? Master Li, this is no joke! Cheng Ming, a university scholar, said.

"Assassins? What does Zhuge Yuanba eat? Eating? How did the Assassins run into such a heavily guarded palace! Zhang Jinfu, the Marquis of Zhongyong, roared, he was very comfortable after roaring, and he was finally able to take the opportunity to insult Zhuge Yuanba, it was really cool. If you can't beat him, you can finally scold him!

Li Ming pressed his hand, making everyone silent, and he said in a deep voice: "This official has ten heads, and he doesn't dare to spread these words, His Majesty was assassinated by a female official hiding next to His Royal Highness the Prince, that female official is the daughter of Ming Yibo, and there is no problem with her background, but I didn't expect it to be an assassin, and her martial arts are strong, so she succeeded..."

After Li Mingchong told the cause and effect, he continued: "If you don't believe it, I invited the master of ceremonies to take charge of Yin Hai, and the prince of Zhou is also in the palace, so he can also confirm this matter. His Majesty has really died, and so has the Prince. ”

As he spoke, Hai Dafu walked in with the holy decree in his hand and said heavily: "What Master Li said is the truth, please mourn the ministers." ”

Even Hai Dafu said so, can it be fake?

There was a sudden silence in the pavilion, and Lord Ye Xiu was even more limp and sat on the chair, and his head was covered in an instant.

Although people are born, old, sick and die, His Majesty's body is still healthy, how to say that it is gone.

In this silent atmosphere, Li Mingchong continued: "Your Majesty is dead, the crown prince, but Daxia can't be messed up, after discussing with the prince of Zhou, he told the queen mother, and the queen mother ordered the two of us to take out His Majesty's edict!" ”

Everyone hurriedly came back to their senses.

Yes, Your Majesty has died, and the crown prince has died, so who is the new emperor?

That's what they're here for!

Li Mingchong looked at Hai Dafu, who held the holy decree in his hand and shouted: "Your Majesty's edict is here, and Xiao Yan, the king of the Tang Dynasty, will inherit the unification!" ”

Li Mingchong said: "The purpose of convening the ministers now is to clarify this matter. All of you here are important ministers of the court, and we need to be prepared for the new emperor to ascend the throne, so..."

Without waiting for Li Mingchong to finish speaking, Yang Feiyuan immediately shouted: "Master Li, slow down!" Did the official mishear? Who will be the new king? His Royal Highness the King of Tang? Are you kidding! The eldest son, King Jin, is still here, where is the turn of King Tang! Moreover, His Majesty was assassinated, and the crown prince had already been established before the assassination, how could there still be an edict, and the official doubted the authenticity of this edict! ”

"Master Li, this official is also skeptical!" Huo Xingye, the secretary of the military department, and Shang Jin, a scholar of the university, raised objections one after another.

Sure enough, let King Tang ascend the throne, many people were not convinced.

"Hahaha..."

At this moment, the Duke of Yasukuni, who had always kept a low profile, suddenly laughed, and then asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is an edict here, Your Majesty has appointed the King of Tang to inherit the unification, do you want to resist the decree?" ”

Yang Feiyuan bowed to the Duke of Jingguo and said coldly: "Since ancient times, there has been no heir, this is the rule!" There are five princes above King Tang, even if they are ranked by age, it will not be his turn! And Tang Wang is messing around, nothing less, see what he has done? I know how to write, such a character can inherit the unification and manage the country well? ”

Yasukuni Gong sneered: "So Lord Yang wants to resist the decree? Master Li, what is the crime of resisting the decree? ”

Yang Feiyuan shouted: "Don't scare me with the charge of resisting the decree, this official is not scared, this official definitely does not believe that His Majesty will make this edict!" Ladies and gentlemen, do you believe it? ”

Shang Jin's grandson-in-law is Xiao Jing, and he naturally wants to oppose it at this moment.

Huo Xingye also shook his head in opposition.

As for Shang Jin, Cheng Ming and Zhang Jinfu, they looked down at the ground and kept silent.

In the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Ye Xiu was shocked by the news of His Majesty's death, and he took care of it flawlessly, while among the other four Governors, Zhang Yingqi and Zang Haichuan, the Governors of the Left and Right Armies, remained silent, while Ma Yiwen and Xue Rongtang shook their heads in disbelief.

The Duke of Yasukuni has been preparing for such a long time, and the great plan can be accomplished, how can this group of officials oppose it, he clenched his fists and raised the sky, and shouted: "Your Majesty left an edict, naturally you have Your Majesty's foresight, as a courtier, if you do not obey the decree, it is a great rebellion." Lord Li, now that the Holy Decree is here, what we should do is to directly announce the edict, I heard that the six princes have also entered the palace and are being closely protected by the forbidden army, so it is time for them to know the truth. Now that Great Xia is on the verge of turmoil, it cannot be delayed for a long time, and the new monarch must be allowed to ascend the throne as soon as possible. If anyone resists the order, the soldiers of the northwest battalion who enter the city will do the work of the king and cut down the grass and root out the thieves who resist the order! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed dramatically.

Li Mingchong took a deep look at the Duke of Yasukuni, and sure enough, it was you who did it!

Yang Feiyuan looked shocked, pointed at the Duke of Yasukuni and shouted: "The Northwest Battalion has entered the city and King Qin? Wu Anbang, why do you know all this? ”

Yasukuni's real name is Wu Anbang.

"Your Majesty is far-sighted, and once mentioned to this official that if he and the crown prince encounter an accident, he will appoint the Tang King as the prince, does this official know that there is something wrong with all this" Yasukuni Gong said coldly.

And just after he spoke, Queen Zhou Xiangyun walked in.

Seeing the queen coming, everyone hurriedly saluted.

Yang Feiyuan immediately said: "Please also ask the mother to be the master, Your Majesty has died, how can it be possible to set up the Nine Emperor Princes as the crown prince, there must be a problem in this, and please ask the queen to investigate!" ”

Who knew that Zhou Xiangyun snorted coldly and shouted: "Presumptuous! Your Majesty's edict is here, and this palace can also testify, how can you Yang Feiyuan be framed. Why can't the Tang King be appointed as the new emperor? The seventh prince Xiao Rui can be the crown prince, why can't King Tang become the new emperor? Yang Feiyuan, who doesn't know the relationship between you and King Jin, if you continue to quibble unreasonably, don't blame the palace for being ruthless, where is Zhuge Yuanba? ”

"The last general!" Zhuge Yuanba led the forbidden army to follow outside the house.

"If anyone resists the order, he will be killed!" Zhou Xiangyun roared domineeringly.

Yang Feiyuan staggered, looked at Zhou Xiangyun and Yasukuni Gong standing aside, and immediately understood. With the contradiction between the queen and the imperial concubine, the queen will never let the king of Jin ascend the throne.

The people who supported the other princes also looked pale, and they could also see that the queen supported King Tang, not only the queen, but even Li Mingchong and King Zhou were bound to choose King Tang!

King Tang has ascended the throne, and it is already a certainty, if he resists, it will really be a dead end!

Li Mingchong coughed and asked, "Your Majesty's edict is here, do you have any objections?" ”

The twelve remained silent.

Li Mingchong said: "Since there is no objection, then go to the Heart Cultivation Hall with this official, Prince Zhou is explaining the situation to the six princes." As courtiers, we have no objections now, and we hope to keep the same tone when we arrive at the Heart Cultivation Palace, otherwise..."

Zhou Xiangyun continued: "Otherwise, don't blame this palace for the crime of causing chaos in the dynasty and exterminating you to the nine clans!" ”

After speaking, Empress Zhou Xiangyun threw her sleeves and left, Yasukuni Gong laughed, followed closely behind, then Li Mingchong and Hai Dafu, and finally these are the civil and military ministers.

It's just that their faces are very bad, they didn't expect that such a big thing would happen in the past few days of the lockdown of Miyagi, they missed the opportunity, and they actually let the Duke of Yasukuni and the Empress seize the opportunity to push the Tang King to the throne in one fell swoop!

It's too late to regret.

……

Li Mingchong is in charge of Longyuan Pavilion, and Xiao Mingying is naturally in charge of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Whether this scene is performed or not, we know who is the messenger, but the purpose of continuing to play it is to let Yasukuni Gong take the initiative to expose it. Similarly, Xiao Mingying's temptation of the six princes was actually a test of Xiao Yan to see if he knew it. This is also what Xiao Rui means, Xiao Rui wants to see the performance of his good brother.

It should be mentioned that Xiao Rui agreed to let Yan Xiaoxiao contact the female officials around the queen, and Yan Xiaoxiao did not disappoint Xiao Rui, she actually won over the intimate female officials around the queen, who were more powerful than Hai Dafu and Wang Dazhi, the inner chamberlain.

In the face of Yan Xiaoxiao, the female official confided in the situation, and the queen did ask her to send a letter to Concubine De.

Concubine De...

Xiao Yan's mother, the daughter of the Duke of Yasukuni.

Although Xiao Rui had already guessed it, he couldn't help but sigh a little after confirming it. This female official-born concubine is both talented and beautiful, intelligent, and ambitious, and she also wants her son to sit on the throne.

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, the six princes sat for a while, and Xiao Mingying, the king of Zhou, walked in with steady steps.

The six princes got up and bowed their hands, Xiao Mingying waved his hand to let everyone sit down, Xiao Mingying said in a deep voice: "This time I urgently summoned you to the palace, there is a major event to announce, it is about Your Majesty and the crown prince. ”

As soon as the six of them heard this, they immediately sat down, and in the past few days, hundreds of civil and military officials have been secretly discussing, and they have all guessed what happened in the palace, and now they can finally see it.

"Uncle Huang, is my seventh brother cured?" Xiao Yan immediately asked, his face revealing worry.

Wu Wang Xiao Ze comforted: "Ninth brother, don't worry, listen to Uncle Huang's words." ”

Xiao Mingying glanced at Xiao Yan deeply, and then said: "What this king says next may be very impactful, you must be mentally prepared." Three days ago, His Majesty was assassinated and died, and the prince was poisoned. ”

After hearing this, the six people looked incredulous, and then looked at each other, thinking that they had heard it wrong.

"Uncle Huang, what do you say?" Xiao Jing asked again.

Xiao Mingying repeated: "Your Majesty has died, and the crown prince has died. ”

All six of them stood up, yet to react from the shock.

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it! How could the father and the seventh brother die? When pigs fly! Xiao Yan roared, and was about to rush out, but was stopped by the forbidden army outside the door.

"Get out of the way, and if anyone stops me, I'll kill him!" I'm going to my father and my seventh brother! Xiao Yan roared with red eyes.

Xiao Mingying scolded: "King Tang, don't mess around! Now is not the time for you to mess around! The country can't be without a king for a day, Your Majesty has died, the crown prince is gone, the new emperor must be allowed to inherit the throne as soon as possible, and Daxia can't be chaotic! ”

As soon as these words came out, the few people who were still shocked suddenly woke up, yes, the throne! The throne is now ownerless!

But Xiao Yan insisted on running out, he shouted: "What new emperor, it's my business, I don't believe it, I want to see my father and seventh brother with my own eyes!" What you say is false! ”

Xiao Mingying waved his hand, and the forbidden army directly suppressed Xiao Yan, and let him struggle, not letting him run out.

On the other hand, looking at the other five princes, Xiao Ze sat slumped in the chair with a sad expression, and it seemed that he did not expect his father and the crown prince to die.

As for Xiao Lie, Xiao Feng, Xiao Ming and Xiao Jing, the four of them glanced at each other, and their sad expressions had been dispelled by the temptation of belonging to the throne.

Xiao Lie is the eldest son, and at this moment, he hurriedly asked, "Uncle Huang, how is the new emperor decided?" ”

"yes!" Xiao Feng also said eagerly, at this time, Xiao Feng's heart was the happiest, Xiao Rui actually died, just like that? What a bargain for him!

Now that His Majesty and the crown prince are dead, he will not accept whoever sits on the throne, he will snatch it! The throne must be occupied by someone who can live in it!

Looking at the eager eyes of these four people, Xiao Mingying sighed secretly, sure enough, in front of the throne, even if his father died, he couldn't care about grief, this is the sadness of being in the royal family.
