Chapter 101: Double Insurance Lapse
Wang Jien, Li Changling, and Hu Dan rushed into the Zhaoshu Pavilion to rummage around, and Lu Duan followed closely with his fat body panting.
Seeing that Lu Duan was so anxious, Wang Jien was even more anxious, before Lu Duan came in, it was best to get the edict in his hands, so that the rest of the matter would have nothing to do with Lu Duan.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a "bang" sound, and the door of the edict pavilion was closed, followed by a crisp "click", which was clearly the sound of the lock.
Wang Jien and the others were shocked and rushed over to open the door, but the door was locked. Wang Jien shook the door desperately, and shouted in his mouth: "Lu Duan, what do you mean?" Open the door. β
Lu Duan said unhurriedly: "Princess, the Imperial Book Pavilion is an important place in Zhongshu Province, and I ordered someone to reinforce it last night, so don't waste your efforts." β
Li Changling patted the door and shouted: "Lord Lu, you can't do this, Li is the deputy prime minister on the spot, why do you lock me up?" β
"Lord Li, the prince is a distinguished guest in the palace, he came to Zhongshu Province, we should be entertained, unfortunately, such a big thing happened in the palace, I have to deal with it, then wronged Lord Li and Lord Hu to entertain distinguished guests for our Zhongshu Province, as a prince, don't wronged the two adults."
Li Changling and Hu Dan were speechless.
As soon as Lu Duan turned around, he shook his fat body and walked out, Wang Jien scolded behind the big iron gate: "Wang Jien, you old horseman, you can't die well, you open the door quickly, the queen mother is still waiting for our family, you can't afford to make a big mistake." β
Lu Duan no longer spoke to them, but instructed the commander of Zhongshu Province that no one should open the Edict Pavilion without permission.
Lu Duan has been the first assistant prime minister for many years, although he looks confused, in fact, everything is under control, Li Changling and Hu Dan have only been here for a few days, which is his opponent.
After leveling Wang Jien, Lu Duan hurriedly entered the palace and went straight to the Long Live Palace. The hall was quiet, there was only one dead emperor, and his wife, Empress Li.
Lu Duan lay at Zhao Guangyi's feet and wept, crying very sadly, and had no intention of stopping for a while.
Empress Li, oh, it should be Empress Dowager Li, she sat on the side, covered her face with a handkerchief, and looked like she was crying, but in fact, how could she be in the mood to cry?
Where did Wang Jien go? Didn't he go to Lu Duan? Why is Lu Duan the only one here? Lao Wang is her killer weapon.
So what about his other killer feature, the eunuch clearly said that he had found his brother Li Jilong, and Li Jilong personally said that he would bring troops into the palace immediately, but what about Li Jilong, what about the forbidden army of the front division of the palace? Why can't you see a single one?
None of her double insurances came, and who else did she rely on to stir up this coup d'Γ©tat?
She looked at the emperor lying on the bed, Zhao Guangyi's expression was serene, and there were few times when he was alive when he was calm and calm, could it be that everything was in his calculations? Could it be that he arranged everything in advance?
Empress Dowager Li shivered, and looked outside the hall again, but it was still empty, and she still didn't see any of her double insurances. This time, her tears finally fell.
It's over, it's all over, I'm afraid I can't even save my life.
Lu Duan cried for so long, in fact, to give the Queen Mother enough time to think, so that she could see the situation clearly and realize that she was lost.
The Queen Mother wiped her tears and choked up: "Lu Aiqing, what should I do now?" She had prepared a lot of righteous words that she had prepared and could not say a word at this moment.
Lu Duan immediately stopped crying and said solemnly: "The first emperor set up the crown prince, just for today, the prince should be immediately summoned into the palace and succeeded to the throne immediately, so as to settle people's hearts." β
The Queen Mother hid her face and cried for a while, and only said after a while: "Lu Aiqing, a new widow in the mourning family, she has no idea, and everything will be left to you." β
"Please rest assured that the Empress Dowager will live up to the emperor's entrustment and assist the prince to ascend the throne smoothly." Lu Duan kowtowed to the Queen Mother, turned around and shouted outside: "Come on, wait for the queen to return to the palace to rest, and ask the prince to go to the Long Live Palace ...... immediately." β
The martial arts of Baishan Shuangsha are indeed unfathomable, otherwise they would not have stirred up the Central Plains martial arts 20 years ago.
At this moment, the two of them were sitting in the gazebo opposite the waterfall, munching on the rest of Ling Kun's barbecue. Li Jilong, who had already made an acupoint, sat on the side against the pillar and glared at the two of them angrily.
Ling Kun and the generals in front of the palace were all discouraged, and some of them were still bloodstained, obviously injured. They stood ten steps away from the pavilion, but they didn't dare to move a little, firstly, because they were afraid that Li Jilong would be in danger, and secondly, it was useless to pounce on them, and they couldn't beat others.
"What is your purpose? The dignified Liao Kingdom actually engaged in such an unsightly deed, which really opened Li's eyes. "Li Jilong doesn't believe that they are really robbing, no one will rob him, and he is still from Liao.
"Hahaha, don't talk about those useless, take out 10,000 taels of gold, and Lao Tzu will let you go back, otherwise you will wait for death." Bai Yuliang said as he gnawed on a leg of mutton bigger than his face.
"Do you really want money?" Hao Wenkai, the head of the armor division, asked.
"Nonsense, otherwise what would the Lao Tzu tie him up for? Go back and raise money, see that you eat and drink well here, Lao Tzu will wait for you all night, and if you can't get the money before dawn, Lao Tzu will kill people. Bai Yuming shouted.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do, although 10,000 taels of gold was a lot, but for a court member like Li Jilong, the emperor's relatives and relatives, they could also take it out, but he still didn't believe that things were so simple, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Ling Kun shouted to Bai Shanshuangsha: "Hey, you have to talk and count, I'll go back and get you gold now." β
"Let's go, it's too late to be late, remember to exchange it for a silver ticket, really carry the gold, Lao Tzu can't carry it." Bai Yuming waved his hand.
Ling Kun arched his hand to Li Jilong and said, "My lord, I will go back to raise silver tickets, and I have wronged you to suffer here." β
Li Jilong frowned and didn't speak, letting him hold heavy troops and power was monstrous, and he was completely helpless to be controlled by others at the moment. Looking at Ling Kun's back as he rushed down the mountain, he always felt that something was wrong, as if he was being led by someone else's nose to walk.
I hope they are really robbing, and I hope this matter has nothing to do with Liao.
Ling Kun ordered everyone in front of the palace to guard the mountain, and even Zhao Mingyue and Xiao Ran also stayed, because it was up to Xiao Ran to control the White Mountain Twin Saints.
When I got down the mountain and hurried back to the capital, it was already midnight. But the city has been turned upside down, and the mountains have collapsed. The emperor has died, and the news of the new emperor's succession has been announced.
After Ling Kun arrived at the palace, Zhao Heng was already dealing with the affairs of the first queen as the emperor. Lu Duan is planning and arranging tomorrow's enthronement ceremony. The ministers worked all night to prepare for the new emperor's accession to the throne and the burial of the former emperor.
Ling Kun reported to Zhao Heng: "Your Majesty, the palace marshal Li Jilong encountered robbers in the rivers and lakes during an outing, and was hijacked, and the robbers asked for 10,000 taels of gold. β
