Chapter 575: Courtier Confrontation

As the anti-evil army advanced, the people of Chang'an, who got up early, realized that something big must have happened last night!

Otherwise, the evil suppression army will not enter Chang'an and head towards the palace!

The evil army rushed all the way on Suzaku Street, and rushed straight to Suzaku Gate, the two groups of people in front of the door were still deadlocked, and many ministers who were still resting also appeared outside Suzaku Gate. As soon as the evil suppression army came to the outside of the palace, it was directly divided into two groups, with the Suzaku Gate as the center, one on the left and one on the right, scattered and surrounded.

A quarter of an hour later, the entire palace was surrounded by 50,000 evil troops!

"Squeak!"

As soon as the ears of several people outside the Suzaku Gate moved, they heard a piercing sound, and when they turned their heads to look, they saw that the Suzaku Gate, which had been closed all night, finally opened slowly.

In the tall city gate, a thin figure slowly walked out through the cracks.

The officials squinted and recognized that this was Wang Xi, but, why was his hair all white?

Wang Xi looked at the hundred officials, his expression was unwavering, as if he had recovered into the original shadow.

"Hundred officials! Enter the temple! ”

Wang Xi's internal strength is strong, and his voice is not loud, but it clearly reaches everyone's ears. The hundred officials looked at each other and the people in their own camp, and silently followed behind Wang Xi.

Now they don't know what Li Shimin's situation is, the news they received last night is just that Li Shimin took pills and vomited blood, and he may not be able to do it.

There were so many scouts sent out last night, but not even one of them came out alive, so they still don't know what's going on inside.

A few sharp-eyed ministers could still see the uncleaned blood on the ground.

A few little eunuchs were still holding brushes, squatting on the ground to scrub in the winter, and the little palace maid on the side was carrying hot water and pouring it on the ground, and it would not take long for it to freeze into ice.

The hands of several little eunuchs were already frostbitten, but they still didn't dare to stop.

Wang Xi led the way in front, and along the way, less than ten meters away, there was a soldier in heavy armor, holding a long pipe in their hands, it was the heavy armor soldier!

At this moment, a big stone was pressed on everyone's hearts, and they didn't know what their future would look like.

Qin Qiong's eldest grandson Wuji and others were worried that Li Shimin was fine, so the fact that they didn't let hundreds of officials enter the palace last night and obeyed the prince's orders would be magnified by Li Shimin!

While others are worried that if Li Shimin is dead now and Li Chengqian is in power, then how will they be dealt with!

At this moment, everyone's hearts are worried.

When the group came to the outside of the Taiji Palace, Wang Xi turned his head and knocked, and when Gonggong Qiu brought Cheng Yanjin and others back to the Taiji Palace, he said softly: "Hundred officials enter the palace!" ”

At this moment, all the ministers held their breath together, and they didn't dare to breathe, and stepped into the Taiji Hall.

As soon as they entered the main hall, everyone's eyes immediately looked at the dragon chair.

The king who is here on weekdays and dominates the affairs of the world is not on the dragon chair.

At second glance, they looked at the steps below the dragon chair, where the crown prince Li Chengqian was holding his hands behind his back, looking at the dragon chair with the back of his head facing them.

At this moment, Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong and the others breathed a sigh of relief, they knew that they had won!

"Your Highness! Dare to ask where is Your Majesty? ”

The first one to come out was Wei Zheng, who walked over in a few steps, walked straight behind Li Chengqian and asked.

As if he had just heard someone coming, Li Chengqian turned around and said, "Father, he, he, died."

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty! You, why are you leaving! ”

"Your Majesty! Take the old minister with you! ”

As soon as Li Chengqian's voice fell, there were immediately ministers sitting in front of him, some of whom wept bitterly, and some of whom grabbed the ground with their heads, as if they could not show their loyalty without crying twice.

They sat on the ground limp with tears and snot on their faces, and they looked miserable.

Li Chengqian's eyes were also high and swollen, and his tears from last night were not less.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Your Majesty's death, this is not a trivial matter for my Datang, the first emperor just went not long ago, and now His Majesty has died again, it is not a small blow to my Datang, the surrounding countries are eyeing each other, I know that everyone is very sad now, but now it is more important things"

The eldest grandson Wuji stood up and said loudly!

His voice was loud, and his status was superior, and all the officials listened to him quietly.

Anyone who cares understands it as soon as they hear it, and they can guess what the eldest grandson Wuji plans to do.

Now that the old emperor is dead, what should be done? Of course, the new emperor has ascended the throne!

"Ladies and gentlemen, the first emperor was obsessed with pills, so he ended up like this! In the past year, it has always been the prince who has been supervising state affairs, and the prince's ability is obvious to all, as seen by the old man! The crown prince should be enthroned first! Then deal with the aftermath of the first emperor in a beautiful way! ”

He is no longer called His Majesty, and he directly changed his name to the First Emperor, and his intention is extremely obvious!

The court was quiet for a while, some people planned to watch the excitement and not express their opinions, while some people were very simple, they didn't want Li Chengqian to be the emperor, if Li Chengqian became the emperor, everything they have now may disappear!

But is it really a good time to refute Li Chengqian now?

Cheng Yanjin saw that no one spoke, but he walked out, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Please crown prince to ascend the throne!" ”

Seeing this, Qin Qiong also walked out, and Wei Chi Jingde also walked out among the courtiers with his big body, and the two said together: "Please enthrone the prince!" ”

Li Chengqian hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Chengqian is young, how can he bear these thousands of miles?" ”

Li Jing and Li Tao frowned, both of them had Wen Taowu strategy, but for standing in line, these two almost never chose the right one!

Li Chengqian's eyes seemed to glance at the two of them inadvertently, the two of them looked at each other, sighed, and knelt down on one knee and said, "Please Your Highness ascend the throne!" ”

Wei Zheng also said: "The country can't be without a king for a day, the old minister asks His Royal Highness to ascend the throne!" ”

The eyes of the rest of the people all fell on Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, these two have always been close, almost a relationship of prosperity and loss.

"Your Highness, the incident happened suddenly, Your Majesty's body has always been fine, and now it is said that he has died, this, this..."

Fang Xuanling was the first to refute, and Du Ruhui on the side nodded and said, "Your Majesty's death is definitely strange!" ”

The two of them seemed to take the lead, and after the two of them spoke, many people behind them began to discuss.

It is said to be a discussion, but the sound is not small, enough for the people in the Taiji Hall to hear it clearly.

"That's right, Your Majesty's body has always been good, why is it so sudden?"

"Hey, didn't you listen to the nonsense of those two people, what kind of elixir to eat, otherwise can it be like this?"

"I just don't know, that elixir, is it a bureau set up by someone with a heart for His Majesty!"

"Who will set up a game for His Majesty?"

"Then tell me, if Your Majesty dies, who will benefit the most?"

Li Chengqian's eyes narrowed slightly, showing a slightly ruthless arc, and he smiled lightly: "Two, is this a suspicion that this palace is lying?" ”

Li Chengqian ignored others, and looked directly at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui with his eyes, although they were laughing, they didn't have the slightest warmth!

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Chengqian's eyes, and suddenly felt a little chilled!

Li Chengqian's eyes when he looked at him were no longer the respectful look he had when he looked at the elders, but as if he was looking at a corpse!

Fang Xuanling glanced at Du Ruhui beside him for help, Du Ruhui's temper was much more direct, and he opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness, whether you are lying or not, the old minister doesn't know, but the old minister only knows that Your Majesty is by no means a natural death!" Isn't it doubtful that the king of a country died a mysterious death? ”

Fang Xuanling saw that Du Ruhui spoke for him, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Chengqian's eyes narrowed even smaller, but his waist was straight, and when he heard Du Ruhui's question, he just said in a flat voice: "My father died of a sudden brain attack last night!" ”

"But Weichen heard that Your Majesty was poisoned because he accidentally ingested the pill ......"

"Shut up!"

Before Du Ruhui's words were finished, he was directly interrupted by Li Chengqian! Li Chengqian looked at him as if he wanted to eat him alive.

"You've heard? Who do you listen to? Just one night, you know the news? How? The palace has your spies in the palace! ”

Li Chengqian said angrily, and the hundred officials in the hall only felt a cold wind blowing.

There are ministers in the palace, this is a very normal thing, everyone almost knows it, like such a big thing, last night the palace was all over the palace, can they still know?

But knowing is knowing, and it's hard to say about this matter on the bright side.

Seeing that Du Ruhui did not answer, Li Chengqian continued at the moment: "Say! Tell Hongu, who are you listening to? Tell Hongu by name! This palace will definitely kill him with a thousand knives! The news of the royal family also dared to leak out, and it was not possible to eat the bear's heart and the leopard's guts! ”

Li Chengqian's words were extremely ruthless, and Du Ruhui's face changed again and again.

He didn't expect Li Chengqian to seize such a little difficulty! If he had made it clear that the man would have died because of him, how could he bear it? But if he doesn't say it, this matter will become his hearsay.

Yushi can listen to the wind, but he can't!

What is the identity of Goshi? Who is he? In his current status, he must have something to say!

"What do you want to do with this palace! How? Could it be Du Xiang, is it something out of nothing? ”

Li Chengqian stared at Du Ruhui deadly, it was cold in winter, but he could see cold sweat oozing from Du Ruhui's forehead!

Fang Xuanling on the side was secretly lucky, if he answered the question by himself just now, he would be in a dilemma now, but his old friend suffered, so he naturally couldn't just watch.

"Your Highness, now is not the time to discuss these things, we should discuss how His Majesty died"

Li Chengqian's eyes suddenly turned, looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "Could it be that Fang Xiang is too old?" This palace has already said before that my father died of a sudden brain disease! Now the queen mother has cried and fainted in the harem, the imperial doctor is recuperating, and the fang minister is still holding on to this matter, do you want to see my royal jokes? Or is it that you are the room?"

"What purpose can't be achieved!"

Li Chengqian's words can be said to be very heavy, and all the officials have heard the meaning of Li Chengqian's words.

That is, Li Shimin did not die of eating the 'elixir', but died of a sudden brain disease, and brain disease is almost unsolvable in modern times, let alone in ancient times.

"Your Highness, why did Your Highness say this! The old minister is loyal and courageous, but the sun and the moon are visible! ”

Fang Xuanling's aggrieved old tears were rampant, but the eldest grandson Wuji on the side was a little disdainful, everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, who doesn't know who?

But he was afraid that his nephew would be soft-hearted, so he really believed in Fang Xuanling, after all, his nephew's reputation among the people was benevolent and soft-hearted.

But when he saw Li Chengqian's eyes, he understood that his nephew was definitely not as simple as outsiders thought.

There was only one emotion in his eyes, mockery!

Fang Xuanling's voice became smaller and smaller, obviously he also saw Li Chengqian's eyes, and knew that he was now throwing his eyes to the blind.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Chengqian slowly walked two steps towards the steps, as if he was planning to ascend the throne!

Du Ruhui stretched out his hand and wanted to say something, but finally put it down.

Li Chengqian walked up three steps and walked to an angle that was enough to look down on them, and then said softly: "My father and the emperor suddenly had a brain attack last night, and you are all important ministers in the court, and now, the country of the Tang Dynasty has to be entrusted to you!" ”

"Your Highness's words are wrong, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and please ask Your Highness to take on your responsibilities as soon as possible!"

The eldest grandson Wuji is still the first person to stand up, the responsibility of the prince, what is the responsibility of the prince after the death of this emperor? Enthronement, of course!

"The old minister seconded the proposal!"

Cheng Yanjin was the second to stand up and directly seconded the proposal!

"The old minister seconded the proposal!"

"The old minister seconded the proposal!"

"The old minister seconded the proposal!"

More and more ministers in the court stood up and expressed their demands for Li Chengqian to ascend the throne!

There are less than twenty people left, and they are still standing in place, they were all loyal to the King of Wei or the family before, and they were all people who stood on the opposite side of Li Chengqian!

If there were no such people, wouldn't the court be all Li Chengqian's people? These people, together with those wall grasses, were used to check and balance Li Chengqian's power in the court.

But now, those wall grasses have also defected to the prince, and only these people are left, staying where they are, looking left and right, and stalemate.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

In this slightly embarrassing atmosphere, there was a sudden sound of neat footsteps outside the Taiji Hall!

If it weren't so loud, like thunder, they would even think it was a person's footsteps! It's so neat!

The windows of the Taiji Hall have long been replaced with glass, and through the glass, they can clearly see that those people outside are heavily armored firecrackers! The people who led the troops were the ones who followed the Wushuang Hou every day!

"They, what are they trying to do?"

"Isn't that person the personal guard of the Peerless Marquis? This, does this Wushuang Marquis want to rebel? ”

I don't know who shouted such a sentence, and suddenly the hall began to panic, it is not impossible for the Wushuang Marquis to rebel, you know, he has 30,000 ghost king troops in his hands!

Li Chengqian smiled slightly when he heard this: "Those, the people of this palace!" ”
