After Xiao Feng left the Ruyang Palace, most of the doubts in his heart were dispelled, the Ruyang King's words were not unreasonable, if it was really Xiao Rui's emergency when he was dying, this was a great thing!

Ever since he knew that Xiao Rui was His Majesty's favorite child, Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel jealous. In order to leave the throne to him, His Majesty ignored him and laid a big picture for more than ten years, which is really unfair to other princes, they are all princes, why can't they be leveled with a bowl of water?

Xiao Rui is the best if he dies, he can perform well, Xiao Feng confidently thinks that with his own ability, he can get His Majesty's approval to become the crown prince!

Fight to the end to know who is the winner!

After sending Xiao Feng away, King Ruyang returned to his study.

"Emperor Xia is scheming, and he always takes one step and thinks three steps in doing things, so this time the change in the palace, is it the prince who has an accident? If it is said that Emperor Xia had an accident, the probability is too low..."King Ruyang did not lie to Xiao Feng, because even he himself could not guess what was going on.

"Could it be that Emperor Xia and the crown prince had an accident at the same time?"

This idea was quickly vetoed by the King of Ruyang, who in Kyoto has this ability?

The spies in Dongchang are too terrible, and they may get out of trouble if they stay in their own homes, let alone conspire with anyone and meet with whom. As for forming their own forces or cultivating dead soldiers, they had to be cultivated secretly outside of Kyoto.

"It's not appropriate to come forward in this matter, let's wait and see what happens." King Ruyang said leisurely, and then took out a box from the desk drawer, and there was a broken jade pendant in the box, which he left for his infant son back then, but unfortunately... The son and the Zhao Guojiu Yin Forbidden Army fell into the cliff, life and death were unknown, and only this broken jade pendant was found.

"Emperor Xia, Emperor Xia, what did you do to my son?"

King Ruyang clenched the jade pendant, anger appeared on his calm face, and he gritted his teeth with resentment.

At this moment, there are countless powerful people such as Duan Wang Xiao Feng and King Ruyang, and they are all secretly speculating about the big changes in the palace, but they don't dare to act rashly, for fear that it is His Majesty's game.

In the evening, the three-day time was basically up, and it was time to take Xiao Rui's life after three days.

Queen Zhou Xiangyun couldn't wait for a long time, and immediately got up and rushed to the East Palace, which shows that Zhou Xiangyun is indeed a key link, and the time is very accurate.

This time when they entered the East Palace, Dian Wei and Li Cunxiao did not stop them, and after Zhou Xiangyun entered, he saw Xiao Mingying and Li Mingchong standing in the courtyard with a sad face.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Xiangyun's heart blossomed, but he asked with a serious face.

Xiao Mingying bowed and sighed, "The prince... It's up. Is this God going to punish Great Xia? His Majesty and the Prince went away together. ”

Li Mingchong also squeezed out a few old tears and covered his face with his official sleeves.

"Prince..."Zhou Xiangyun looked moved, and then walked into the room at a faster pace, and saw that the side concubine Li Ruoxue had already fainted from crying, Zhuge Liuying's eyes were red, and the two were being supported by the female official.

Zhuge Liuying wanted to meet Zhou Xiangyun, but was stopped by her. I saw her holding Zhuge Liuying's hand, almost laughing, and finally sighed: "The festival mourning is changing, the matter has come to this, ensure your body." ”

At such times, you can't gloat, stay serious, and don't laugh.

Zhuge Liuying nodded, his red eyes were uncomfortable, and tears couldn't help but flow, looking extremely sad——— what kind of medicine did Azhu prepare, the tears flowed from his eyes, and he couldn't stop at all.

Ruoxue is still smart, her acting skills are not good, and she pretends to be dizzy directly.

The two princesses were taken away, Zhou Xiangyun came to the bedside, and when he saw Xiao Rui's body on the bed, his handsome appearance became haggard, and sure enough, people died like lights going out, no matter how good the skin was, it would not work in the face of death.

The cautious Zhou Xiangyun tried it again, and it was indeed dead, without heartbeat and breathing, and the corpse began to be cold.

If there is a song at this time that can express Zhou Xiangyun's mood, it must be: "Life is originally a play, why care too much about grievances and grievances... I smirked... I smirked..."

Moment.

Zhou Xiangyun cleaned up his happy mood and walked out of the room. Her steps were heavy, her face was full of sadness, and then she looked at Xiao Mingying and Li Mingchong in the courtyard, and asked: "Lord Wang, Lord Li, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and it must be decided early to set up a new monarch to ascend the throne." Lord Li, this palace also asks you, Your Majesty can leave other edicts stating that if the crown prince is born, who will be the prince? ”

Li Mingchong shook his head and said, "Back to Niangniang, Weichen has never heard that His Majesty left such an edict, after all, there is a prince here, how could His Majesty make such an edict?" ”

Zhou Xiangyun nodded and said, "Since there is no edict, the new monarch will have to rely on the two of them." The prince of Zhou is the prince title with the highest seniority, and the post of the emperor of the palace of the emperor, and the lord Li is the first assistant of the cabinet, and the position is equal to the prime minister. ”

After a pause, Zhou Xiangyun said again: "This palace is the mother of a country, and the mother is the world, so you can't help but ask." The concubine of this palace has passed away, and there is no child under his knees, so there is no selfishness in promoting the new monarch, it is all for the sake of the world of Great Xia. This palace proposes to establish Xiao Yan, the ninth son of the emperor, as the new monarch, to ascend the throne on the same day and stabilize the country's fortunes. ”

Xiao Mingying sighed and said, "Queen Mother, this king still suggests following the ancient system, establishing a long son without a descendant, and making Xiao Lie the new king, which is more convincing." If His Royal Highness the Tang King is established, this king is worried that the prince will turn against him, which will cause a greater disaster. ”

Li Mingchong raised objections, and said: "In fact, Weichen thinks that the queen's suggestion is better, the prince is not the concubine and the eldest son, Your Majesty did not follow the ancient system, and now we will implement it, and the other princes are not convinced, if you want to fight the soldiers, you have to follow the previous mother's suggestion." ”

Summoning the prince to the palace and imprisoning him, and after the national fortunes are stabilized, the new emperor will decide where the other princes will go, which will not cause a sword fight. Now that the news of the death of His Majesty and the crown prince is still blocked, it is the best time to summon the prince on the orders of His Majesty. Once the prince realizes that something has happened to His Majesty and the crown prince, he will inevitably start a military incident.

Zhou Xiangyun was secretly happy, sure enough, Li Mingchong would choose Tang King Xiao Yan, because his Li family had a good relationship with Tang Wang, and Tang King was close to Xiao Rui, if he ascended the throne, he would not liquidate Li Mingchong, but would entrust him with important tasks, which could be regarded as a return for Li Mingchong's support.

Subsequently, Zhou Xiangyun said again: "Lord, we all understand your thoughts, but King Jin is too angry, Your Majesty Wen Tao Wuluo, Wen De Wucheng, laid such a foundation, do you think it can be kept by handing it over to King Jin?" Tang Wang is younger, and when the time comes, he will inevitably rely on you, the prince, and you will assist, are you afraid that he will not be able to govern the world well? On the other hand, the king of Jin, does the prince think he will rely on the prince? ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Mingying immediately fell silent.

With the queen's skills, he will never be able to say this, someone must teach him. And this is already very straightforward, it is equivalent to telling Xiao Mingying, if you choose King Tang, you can rejuvenate the second spring, maybe you will be in power with the government and the opposition, but if you choose King Jin, it is not certain whether you can continue to be the Zongren Mansion and the Sect Order.

Because Xiao Mingying has a stiff relationship with King Jin's maternal grandfather Yue Guogong, on the other hand, he has a good relationship with King Tang's maternal grandfather Jingguo Gong and has been friends for many years.

Even if Xiao Mingying doesn't think about himself, he should think about his son and grandson. If you support the Tang King to get the merit of the dragon and get a hereditary replacement, it can be regarded as seeking a future for future generations.

After a moment, Xiao Mingying sighed and nodded.

Zhou Xiangyun was overjoyed, it was done!

"Without further ado, let's get started. I asked the prince to summon the six princes with His Majesty's order, and let Zhuge Yuanba lead the forbidden army to 'protect' them well, and they were not allowed to leave the palace. Lord Li summoned the other four cabinet scholars and military department scholars, as well as the governors of the five armies, the loyal and brave marquis of the patrol battalion, oh yes, and the Yasukuni Gong, and then Lord Li explained the reason. For the sake of insurance, the palace suggested that after the prince entered the palace, he ordered the northwest battalion to enter the city to be on guard. In the end, in order to be sure, this palace suggested that a holy decree be drafted, which was said to be an edict left by His Majesty. Zhou Xiangyun talked about it and said four steps in a row.

first control the prince, then call the civil and military ministers, and then let the northwest battalion guard the whole city, and finally draft a testament, interlocking, to ensure that the Tang king's ascension to the throne is justified, and even if the other princes want to rebel, there will be no chance.

It seems that the people behind the scenes have taught the queen a lot of things.

At this moment, Xiao Mingying and Li Mingchong don't raise objections, aren't they acting for so long just to lead to all this? You can also close the net.

"Good! Just do it according to the mother's words! Xiao Mingying and Li Mingchong immediately responded.

Then, the two of them quickly went to do it.

Zhou Xiangyun suddenly felt refreshed, turned his head to look at the East Palace, and finally a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then turned to leave.

At this time, Xiao Rui and Emperor Xia hid in a side hall for tea, and after the queen left, Hai Dafu came to report the whole process.

Emperor Xia nodded and said, "Just do what the queen wants." ”

"Slave understands!" Hai Dafu responded, and then went to the Heart Cultivation Hall to write an edict.

In this way, the calculation was carried out at a critical moment.

The forbidden army in the palace immediately rushed to the palaces of the princes with the oracle, and the six princes were curious but not suspicious, and they all changed into formal clothes and entered the palace, and came to the palace to wait.

When the last King Jing arrived, the six princes gathered together, and the six people wondered and asked each other, but they didn't know why they were recruited into the palace for this trip.

And when the princes entered the palace one after another, the civil and military ministers also hurriedly entered the palace, and the group met in Longyuan Pavilion, and the power held by these people directly determined the situation of the new emperor.

Look at the formation.

Lee Myung-chong is the first assistant to the cabinet.

Lu Yuanzheng is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Wenyuange.

Yang Feiyuan is a scholar of the household department and a scholar of Wuyingdian University.

Shang Jin was a scholar of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of Dongge University.

Cheng Ming is a scholar of Jianji Temple and can participate in political affairs.

Huo Xingye is a secretary of the Ministry of War, he is younger, and if nothing else, he will enter the cabinet sooner or later.

Loyal and brave Marquis Zhang Jinfu.

There are also Ye Xiu, the governor of the Chinese army, Zhang Yingqi, the governor of the left army, Zang Haichuan, the governor of the right army, Ma Yiwen, the former military governor, and Xue Rongtang, the governor of the rear army.

Finally, there is the Yasukuni Gong.

The thirteen gathered together, talked about it, and then they all looked at Li Mingchong.
