Volume 1 The End of the Dynasty Chapter 42 The New King Succeeds to the Throne

Huang Gongfu straightened his clothes, he wasn't sure if the emperor really had an accident, but now he didn't expect Cheng He to suddenly crash into the pillar and die, but this made him believe that something must have happened to the emperor, but he really just fell into a coma and didn't wake up...... Huang Gongfu breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, and at that time, he was going to forcibly break in without careful consideration, at this time, when he thought about it, this decision was reckless, once the emperor had any accidents, this big hat of killing the monarch would be buckled on his head, and this crime would let his family go to Huangquan Road.

Thinking of this, Huang Gongfu couldn't help but shudder, but now he had to send an arrow on the string, and many pairs of eyes saw him enter this courtyard.

Huang Gongfu looked at Cheng He, who was paralyzed under the pillars, and suddenly had a plan, the corners of his mouth twitched, patted the court clothes that were not stained with dust on his round belly, and stretched out a pair of round fat hands to hold the threshold and stepped in.

Everything in the outer hall of the study was as usual, there was no clutter, and even there was an open book on the desk, and the oil lamp next to it flickered brightly and dimly. Huang Gongfu looked around, and suddenly sneered in his heart: "It's clear that someone deliberately put on the appearance that the emperor is still sitting next to the desk and reading, since the emperor is seriously ill and can't go to the court, how can he sit here and read?" ”

Huang Gongfu lifted the curtain leading to the back hall and tiptoed inside.

Huang Gongfu entered the inner hall and saw the emperor sleeping on the bed, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said: "The criminal minister has seen the emperor...... Don't blame the emperor, the minister listened to the nonsense of Imperial Doctor Mao...... Dan Chen, it's all because he cares about the dragon body! After saying this, Huang Gongfu only felt sweaty, and the sweat on his forehead penetrated into his eyes, and his eyes were only panicked, but he didn't dare to move, so he just knelt like that, letting the sweat slide down quickly and fall to the ground.

For a long time, but he never heard the emperor say anything, Huang Gongfu raised his head little by little, and the emperor was still lying like that, without the slightest movement. Huang Gongfu knelt straight on the ground, and the sweat on his face fell straight onto the bulging stomach.

Huang Gongfu rested for a long time, waited for the sweat on his face to collect a little, and then slowly stood up, and walked to the emperor, only to see that the emperor's face was blue and bloodless. Huang Gongfu looked at the emperor with his eyes closed, carefully stretched out his finger and put it among his people, and in an instant, he suddenly withdrew his hand and took three steps back, shocked in his heart, his guess came true!

Huang Gongfu stabilized his mind, he knew that the opportunity had come, the opportunity he had been waiting for for more than three years finally came, three years may not be a long time for others, but for him, the shame of being shelved burned him day by day in these three years, others would not know, no one would be like him!

"The most important thing now is to control everything before Uncle Yang arrives, and it is best to directly let the new emperor ascend the throne." Huang Gongfu was not carried away by the joy of finally waiting for the opportunity, he was very sober, Uncle Yang can't be underestimated, as long as he is given a little chance, he can fight back, even if he is still alive, will he come again in the next three years? So Huang Gongfu knew that if he wanted to do it, he had to do it.

Huang Gongfu gritted his teeth, howled and cried, and ran out of the study, it was really not easy for his bloated figure to run, but the most important thing now was not to see him run, but to see him cry.

The soldiers standing outside the courtyard heard Huang Gongfu's cry and hurriedly ran in, only to hear Huang Gongfu crying and saying, "The emperor has died!" There was silence at first, and then there was an uproar.

"Quick, go to the mansion of the major people and inform them that they have always come to the palace!" Huang Gongfu didn't choke up at all when he gave the order, and after the order was finished, he began to cry again.

The palace is destined not to be peaceful this night, and it can even be said that the world will not be calm from this night onwards.

Just when the palace began to turmoil, Uncle Yang and Pu Xianyu were almost able to return to the imperial city when they just entered Tianzhou at dawn, Uncle Yang's heart relaxed a little, there was no news from the palace here, it seems that the news was kept secret, and the old horse who just pulled the cart was also a little unable to run, just stop a little, eat some dry food, feed the horses some hay, and then continue to the imperial city.

The ministers of the various provinces were woken up, and some of them were dragged into the palace by the government soldiers and forbidden troops sent by Huang Gongfu before they even had time to put on their court clothes, and some concubines and princesses of the harem came with these ministers.

Xuanzong married a total of one wife, for the queen of Qi, the eldest son Huanling, the remaining concubines have six people, of which Jing Guifei gave birth to the prince Huan Sheng, and the rest of the concubines have two princesses.

Huan Ling and Huan Sheng also came to the courtyard in front of the study, Huan Sheng pushed Huan Ling with a four-wheeled wooden cart, and the two looked harmonious and brotherly.

Queen Qi was dressed in plain clothes, with a group of concubines, knelt to the side and cried, Xu Xuan seemed to remember something again, choked up and asked: "Who found out that the emperor died?" ”

"Chen Huang Gongfu saw the queen's mother, and the minister was the first to find out."

"What about the emperor's inner servant Chenghe? Why didn't he know that the emperor had died? ”

Huang Gongfu suddenly said with some pain: "The queen mother didn't know, if it wasn't for the minister who noticed that something was wrong and insisted on going in to see the emperor, this old servant Chenghe also stopped the minister from letting the minister in, and he really didn't know what his heart was. ”

Only then did the crowd notice that there was a corpse under the pillars, and blood ran down his cheeks to the ground, staining the ground red.

"Do you know why he did that?" The queen asked.

Huang Gongfu just felt a little regretful for what he said that he didn't know what he didn't know, if the queen didn't ask Cheng He to let him in, then everything would be in vain, but now it's good, she happened to ask.

Huang Gongfu was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "I'm afraid that this Chenghe has nothing to do with the emperor's death, otherwise why didn't he tell everyone earlier, this is a major matter of the country, and it must not be sloppy." However, this is indeed the minister's speculation, and the minister does not dare to make a conclusion, after all, this Chenghe is the emperor's chamberlain. ”

That's an interesting statement.

The queen suddenly beckoned, motioned for Huang Gongfu to lean over, and leaned in Huang Gongfu's ear regardless of everyone's eyes and asked, "Does the emperor have a will, who will be the future prince?" You're the first to go in, you should know. ”

Huang Gongfu was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Huan Ling sitting on the four-wheeled wooden cart with the corner of his eye, just afraid that he said that the emperor's will to make him the prince of the world will not agree, the king of a country is the face of the country, not only to be able to govern, but also to have a face worthy of the master. This Huan Ling is not only paralyzed, but also squinted and crooked, the key is that sometimes the brain will not be bright.

But Huang Gongfu is an old fox, how could he not know what the queen meant, if his son becomes the emperor, the mother is expensive by virtue of the son, and he can sit back and relax completely in the future, but although Huang Gongfu does not agree with the harshness of Uncle Yang's new law, he does not want to be a person who is written in the history books by later historians and is scolded by others, so he said: "Queen Mother, the minister is indeed the first to enter, but the minister did not see the emperor's edict." ”

Empress Qi looked at Huang Gongfu, knowing that he was perfunctory to himself, but he was helpless, who told her son not to be angry, she turned her head to look at Huan Ling, only to see the saliva on the corner of Huan Ling's mouth running down his chin to his clothes, but he didn't seem to notice that he was still sitting like that, Queen Qi was so angry that she glared at Huan Ling.

Jing Guifei took in this scene, lowered her head and laughed, and hurriedly coughed twice to hide the laughter, her heart had already blossomed, this Queen Qi did not bully her because of her son's affairs, she couldn't do anything when the emperor was still there, but now if there is no accident, her son will be the future new monarch, she will naturally become the queen mother, and the time for revenge is not far away.

Empress Qi glared at Concubine Jing fiercely, but she couldn't do anything, Fang Jin's plan was naturally not to offend if she could.

Huang Gongfu took out the bamboo slips, "The emperor's edict," everyone in the courtyard slowly knelt down, only to hear Huang Gongfu shouting loudly, "Although Huan Ling is the eldest son, he failed to give birth to the emperor's appearance, and the second son Huan Sheng is talented, noble and graceful, and is specially named the prince." Jingtai four years of spring. ”

Long live the crowd. Concubine Jing hurriedly stabbed Huan Sheng, who was stunned for a while, and Huan Sheng came back to his senses, hurriedly got up and took the edict from Huang Gongfu.

Everyone shouted a few long live to Huan Sheng, this is unique in the history of Zhao State, it has always been the new monarch enthronement ceremony can be called "long live", but now Huan Sheng has not held the enthronement ceremony, and there is no yellow robe, but it has been called "long live".

Concubine Jing was in a good mood, and snorted coldly at Queen Qi, those concubines and princesses were just silent when they saw it, and the owner of this harem will be changed in the future, I am afraid that a war without swords, guns, swords, and halberds is better than the battlefield is about to begin, and everyone has begun to find a position, but this position is also easy to find, and it doesn't need much thought, after all, although standing on the big side cannot guarantee that it will always be safe, at least there will be no mistake in the near future, in addition to serving the emperor, it seems that they are only left to survive day after day, year after year, One more day is a day. Of course, it's much easier to beat the water dogs than it is for the old lion to fight the wolves.

Huang Gongfu said loudly again: "This Chenghe deliberately concealed the news of the emperor's death, he must have ulterior motives, and he hopes to make a decision!" ”

Huan Sheng hesitated in his heart, and couldn't help but look at his mother, Concubine Jing walked out with her long sleeves and said: "Although this Chenghe hides the news of the emperor's death, he has been following the emperor and is loyal, so you might as well forget it." ”

Concubine Jing still has a little gratitude to Cheng He in her heart, if it weren't for Cheng He hiding the news in private and forcing everyone to gather here, how could she see Queen Qi's aura face slowly wilting like the weeds beaten by autumn frost, at this moment she felt extremely happy in her heart.
