On the way to Yanhe Palace, Guo Xu asked impatiently about the situation outside. Lu Zhongtian told the truth: "At present, the news is still under secrecy, and nothing is known in the city. The old man has not yet gone to see Yang Jun, and he doesn't know Yang Jun's attitude. His attitude is the most important thing, he has soldiers in his hands. ”

Guo Xu hurriedly said: "Didn't my grandfather say that he would definitely convince him?" Why haven't you talked to him now? ”

Lu Zhongtian said: "What are you anxious about?" As long as the emperor announces that the message is located in you, there will be no problem on Yang Jun's side. Even if he knew there was something going on here, he would go with the flow. I don't know who he is? Therefore, it is imperative to get the emperor to agree to pass it on to you. But you went to the harem to kill people, and it didn't matter what was important. ”

Guo Xu was silent, and Lu Zhongtian didn't want to dwell on this topic all the time, so he said, "Have you found the jade seal?" After getting the jade seal, even if the emperor refuses to agree, it can't help him. With the jade seal in hand, you can promulgate a holy decree in the name of the emperor. ”

"Jade seal? I forgot about it. Guo Xu said in astonishment.

"Confused, what can you do? The national seal is in the hands of Qian Delu, and he can get it if he catches Qian Delu and asks. Qian Delu, you didn't kill you with a knife, did you? He knows a lot of secrets. Lu Zhongtian frowned.

"Chandlu? He...... He ran away! Guo Xu said in surprise.

"What? Ran away? "Lu Zhongtian said unbelievably." What about the national seal? Have you ever found it? ”

"This ...... We haven't gone looking for ...... yet," Guo Xu said embarrassedly.

Lu Zhongtian scolded angrily: "Extremely confused, are you in a hurry to come to the harem to kill people and vent your anger?" But they forgot about the big things. The old man really has nothing to say. It's a mess, it's a mess. Zhao Yuankang, how did the old man explain you? What have you done? Qian Delu actually escaped, what did you do? ”

Zhao Yuankang hurriedly said: "My lord is angry, he blocked the Yanhe Hall after the incident, and Qian Delu escaped from the small door hidden in the backyard, and he didn't notice this door beforehand, which is a dereliction of duty." Qian Delu escaped from Xihuamen, and Sun Kang led people to chase him into the market, and our men shot him with an arrow, hitting the vital point. Although the car ran away, it definitely didn't live long. In order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the people in the city, Sun Kangcai did not continue to chase after him. ”

Lu Zhongtian stroked his beard and said, "Are you sure he hit the key point with his arrow?" ”

Zhao Yuankang said: "There is no doubt about it. The arrow in the heart of the heart will not last for half an hour at most. Hua Tuo can't save the wound while he is alive. ”

Lu Zhongtian nodded and said, "That's good, don't let him spread the news." The matter here is not over, and it can't be known all over the city. Let's hope nothing goes wrong. Let's go see the emperor. ”

The group quickly rushed to the Yanhe Hall and quickly entered the apse through the cloister. While ordering an immediate search for the location of the national seal, Lu Zhongtian took Wu Chunlai, Guo Xu, Zhao Yuankang and others into Guo Chong's bedroom.

The curtain flutters in the dormitory, and the wind is strong at dusk, blowing the curtain to hunt and hunt. The sky was dark, and there were no candles lit in the dormitory, so the silence seemed eerie and terrifying, and it was creepy.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... The old minister came to meet him. Lu Zhongtian shouted in a deep voice.

In the darkness, there was the sound of wheezing and muffled coughing. Prove that there are people alive in the dark curtain.

"Palm Lamp!" Lu Zhongtian commanded.

A few candles were lit, and everyone parted the curtains and slowly entered the inner room, and the candle flame suddenly reflected the face of a man sitting upright in a chair, with a withered face, his hair scattered, and his face pale and pale. After taking a closer look, everyone found that it was the emperor Guo Chong.

"Your Majesty, old minister

See the Emperor. Lu Zhongtian calmly stepped forward and saluted.

Wu Chunlai also stepped forward to salute. But there was no kowtow. This is the first time in Wu Chunlai's life that he saw the emperor without kowtowing and saluting, but just bowing down.

Guo Chong's eyes showed anger and hatred, and his throat whined, but he seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't speak.

"Your Majesty...... Lao Chen...... Hey, now, the old minister doesn't want to say anything. The old minister just wanted to persuade the emperor to let go when it was time to let go, which was for the emperor and the Great Zhou Jiangshan Sheji...... Maybe it's a good thing. Lu Zhongtian said in a deep voice.

"Rebel...... Thief! Guo Chong said these four words slurred in his throat.

Lu Zhongtian's body shook, as if someone had scalded his buttocks with red-hot tongs, and his whole expression was distorted, and his face turned red.

"Your Majesty, Lu Xiang has been loyal to the country for decades, how can the emperor say that about Lu Xiang? Lu Xiang is a real loyal minister and good minister, all for the sake of the Great Zhou Jiangshan Society. His Royal Highness King Huai is the future Lord of the Holy Ming......"

Wu Chunlai interjected on the side, but he only said half of his words, and he was pressed into his stomach by Guo Chong's cold gaze. Guo Chong's gaze was as sharp as a blade and as cold as ice and snow, which made Wu Chunlai have goosebumps all over his body.

"Father! You should understand the current situation, whether you agree to pass on the throne or not, your sons will sit in that position. This is unstoppable, and I hope my father will understand this. Guo Xu said loudly.

Guo Chong looked up at Guo Xu, with hatred, regret and contempt in his eyes, mixed with all kinds of emotions. The hall was silent, and only Guo Chong's snoring and wheezing could be heard clearly. The air was filled with scorching heat and scorching, and the strong smell of fox odor emanating from Lu Zhongtian's body permeated the entire inner room, making people almost suffocate.

"I ...... Agree...... Passing ...... To give...... Guo Xu. Suddenly, Guo Chong spit out these words in his mouth.

Guo Xu, who was already a little impatient, looked at Guo Chong in surprise, and his heart was about to explode. Usurpation and succession are two different things, although they seem to be the same, and in the end they all become emperors. But one is justified and legally inherited; One is that the name is unjustifiable, usurping and rebellion, and the difference is very different. The legitimacy of the throne is the basis for sitting on the throne, and if the throne is not legitimate, it means that others have a good reason to fight for it, and the reason is legitimate. The submission of the will of the people also requires a legitimate qualification. Otherwise, the people would not agree. Guo Xu is very clear about this truth. Now that Guo Chong has agreed to pass on the throne, this means that the big thing has been done.

"Great, great. Emperor Shengming, this is the blessing of the people and the blessing of the community. King Huai, you don't want to live up to the emperor's heart, you have to be a good family of Da Zhou. After the emperor ascends the throne, he should be honored as the emperor, serve every day, and be filial piety. In case of trouble, you should ask the emperor's opinion, do you know? Lu Zhongtian shouted happily.

"Yes, yes, the emperor is really very sage, and the ministers feel more and more that the emperor is looking up to the mountains and admired by thousands of people. If not...... No...... The emperor is old and in poor health, and the ministers really hope that the emperor will never abdicate. Wu Chunlai also said, and rolled up his sleeves to wipe the corners of his eyes without tears to express his sadness.

Guo Xu rubbed his hands excitedly, speechless.

"Hurry up, prepare paper and ink quickly, the old minister personally drafts the decree for the emperor, the emperor only needs to stamp the seal and convene the ministers to announce the matter." Lu Zhongtian said repeatedly.

Zhao Yuankang was familiar with the road and quickly found it

I got my pen and paper, and I started to get busy.

"You ...... You don't have to...... Fake play. Guo Chong hoarsely spoke in his throat and said, "I want to pass on the throne...... But I want you to promise one...... Condition. ”

"On what terms?" Guo Xu, Lu Zhongtian and others were busy.

Guo Xu...... You said you had already killed...... Is the crown prince? Guo Chong stared at Guo Xu and asked.

Guo Xu hesitated to answer, not long ago he had proudly told Guo Chong about it, just to make Guo Chong feel painful and sad. There is no way to deny it now.

“…… Since you have already killed Guo Mian, don't create any more murder. You want to be the emperor...... I am in you. But...... You have to make sure you don't kill anyone else. You want to make sure that ...... Dowager...... Empress...... Concubine Rong...... and so on, you must make sure that you will not poison them, I ...... will be passed on to you. Guo Chong said with difficulty.

"What?" Guo Xu was dumbfounded.

Lu Zhongtian glared at Guo Xu fiercely, turned his head and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this matter is easy to handle, His Royal Highness King Huai will naturally not be unfavorable to them, and it will not be a disaster for the people of the harem." This can also be guaranteed by the old minister. The emperor can rest assured that the decree is. ”

Wu Chunlai secretly praised in his heart: Lu Xiang is really witty, he doesn't blink an eye when he lies, those people have already died in Huangquan, and Lu Xiang also guarantees their safety with words.

"Yes, yes, Erchen promises not to touch them...... A hair. Guo Xu said busily.

Guo Chong was snoring and gasping, but it was difficult to speak, only raising his hand and gesticulating.

"Your Majesty, ...... this?" Wu Chunlai said suspiciously.

"Your Majesty...... This is to ask us to invite the Queen Mother and Concubine Rong to come. Zhao Yuankang said in a low voice. has been by Guo Chong's side for many years, and Zhao Yuankang naturally understands a lot of Guo Chong's body language. Besides, with the emperor's shrewdness and suspicion, how could he be so easily fooled.

As soon as these words came out, Lu Zhongtian and the others looked at each other. Lu Zhongtian was about to find a way to say something, but Guo Xu didn't want to be false anymore, and said coldly: "Father, it doesn't make sense for you to be like this now." Let me tell you the truth. The queen and Concubine Rong both died, and the Shicai Erchen took people to the harem, and they were all killed by the Erchen. The Queen Mother also died, but it was not her sons who killed her, she was scared to death. Today's things are already like this, why do you have to be in love with the stack and worry so much, father? Erchen made his words clear and said, you have to pass on the throne, and you have to pass on the throne if you don't pass on the throne, this is up to you. Don't force your sons to be disrespectful to their fathers. ”

Lu Zhongtian couldn't stop it, and Guo Xu told everything. Guo Chong's face changed greatly, his throat was screaming, and his body trembled violently. Suddenly, several violent coughs erupted. Large clots of blood erupted from his mouth, as if he had been coughed up after a piece of heart and lung had been shattered. But it was actually a bruise that had been stuck in the chest.

After the blood was spurted out, the red lung blood that spurted out was like a blocked embankment that had been dug up, and the lung blood was originally blocked by the blood clot in the throat and could not be vented. After the collapse at this moment, it was out of control, accompanied by Guo Chong's coughing sound, blood splattered everywhere, and it was many and urgent.

The few people standing in front of them couldn't dodge, and they were splashed with hot blood. Lu Zhongtian hurriedly stretched out his sleeves to wipe the blood on his face, but his handsome face became bloodstained, terrifying like a devil.

"Rebels and traitors, everyone will be punished. If you want me to pass on the throne, wishful thinking! I have this rebellious son and thief in the Great Zhou, I have no shame to see the ancestors and ancestors, and I have no shame to see the people of the world. I hate it so much, I'm a big Zhou...... I'm a big week...... I'm going to die. ”
