Chapter 72: Reading
Xiao Chumo's words were not unreasonable, Liu Mochuan could only temporarily suppress the panic in his heart, and shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "Protect the general!" ”
Seeing that the war has become white-hot, losses are inevitable, but Xiao Chumo must not be injured.
Even Yu Panxi in the attic of Xiao Mansion noticed that something was wrong, and leaned on the railing with a heart that slammed up, "The time is not right, it's been too long, it's been delayed for too long!" ”
She shouted in her heart, "Ah Ye, Ah Ye, get up and take a look at Xiao Chumo!" ”
Ah Ye answered lazily, and after a few breaths, his voice sounded again, "It's okay, someone is protecting him." After a pause, "When I came, I saw a group of people going to the city gate, and I should have answered." ”
Yu Panxi breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the palace, "It seems that it has been done." ”
Yinling and Chulu on the side looked at her in shock, and their faces were a little worried.
The leader of the forbidden army held the edict of the tiger talisman in his hand and galloped out of the city, approaching the battlefield while shouting: "The tiger talisman and the emperor's edict again, wait for a quick truce!" ”
Fortunately, neither side has killed the red eye, and when they heard that the emperor's edict was coming, they stopped one after another.
The leader of the forbidden army ran all the way to the center of the battlefield, read out the edict, and without waiting for everyone to come back to their senses in shock, he ordered Xiao Chumo to lead his troops into the city.
Xiao Chumo immediately turned on his horse and rushed to the imperial city with 50,000 people.
The change in the palace has already alarmed the ministers of the court, and they have also gathered at the palace gate, but the palace gate is firmly guarded by the forbidden army, and there is no news.
Xiao Chumo led his troops all the way to the palace gate, showed the tiger talisman and the edict, and the forbidden army immediately let him go, and 50,000 soldiers and horses surrounded the entire palace tightly.
When the courtiers saw this scene, their hearts were even more uneasy, and everyone looked terrified.
Xiao Chumo led people to Mo Baozhou's dormitory, and when he came, there was only a corpse covered with a white cloth on the ground.
"This is ......," he looked at Situ Qin hesitantly.
Situ Qin only nodded at him, and said, "I delayed some efforts and made the general suffer." ”
"It doesn't matter." Xiao Chumo returned the edict and tiger talisman in his hand, and glanced at the corpse on the ground again, although he couldn't recognize his face, but he saw that the figure was indeed Mo Baozhou, but he still wanted to confirm it, so he walked over.
Situ Qin did not stop it, it was indeed Mo Baozhou lying on the ground, and he was no different from a dead man for the medicine that he faked his death, so he was naturally not afraid of Xiao Chumo's inspection.
As for Situ Feiyu, she is still locked up in the palace by the emperor, and tonight's incident has nothing to do with her, so naturally she will not appear here.
Xiao Chumo picked up the white cloth with his sword, and when he saw that it was indeed Mo Baozhou, his heart was slightly relieved.
Now that Xiao Chumo has come, there are both his forbidden army and Xiao Chumo's army in the palace, Situ Qin's confidence has increased by three points, and he said loudly: "Open the palace door and let the ministers in!" ”
The ministers entered the palace in a panic, and when they came to the outside of the palace, Situ Qin shouted mournfully: "The emperor has died!" ”
The courtiers looked at each other in disbelief, how old was the emperor, how could he suddenly die!
Situ Qin led the courtiers into the inner hall, and Mo Baozhou's "corpse" was not so embarrassed under the wiping of the palace people, and he lay on the bed.
According to what he had made up before, he told Mo Baozhou how he was assassinated before and after, and then took out the edict and read it to the ministers.
The courtiers didn't care about pretending to be sad at all, and they were shocked by one thing after another.
But letting the queen succeed to the throne is really appalling, and everyone can't accept it for a while.
Several respected ministers circulated it, and saw that it was indeed Mo Baozhou's private seal, and there were blood stains on the seal, which could be seen that it should be covered by the emperor himself.
"Do you have any doubts?" Situ Qin looked at them and asked.
Everyone looked at each other, they had long had enough of Mo Baozhou, it was a great thing that he died, although it was unprecedented for the queen to succeed to the throne, but didn't the edict also say, does he still have a child? In the future, he will inherit the throne by his bloodline, which is not considered a mess.
Besides, there are many forbidden troops outside, and there are troops outside the palace, which is already a clear thing, what else can they say.
But some people questioned, "Why is General Xiao here!" ”
"This general has received His Majesty's tiger talisman and edict and came to defend the palace and assist the new emperor!" Xiao Chumo said coldly.
Her words also showed that he had admitted Situ Feiyu's identity, and as soon as he heard his words, many people also defected.
At this time, in fact, no one really cares what the truth is, who cares how the tyrant Mo Baozhou died, Situ Feiyu's ascension to the throne has nothing to do with them, it's just a change of master.
For a while, everyone mourned and shouted for the emperor one by one.
At this time, the forbidden army walked in with a person and threw him beside Mo Baozhou's bed.
This person is Wang Yi, he followed everyone into the palace, and as soon as he heard about the emperor's death, he immediately knew that something was wrong, and wanted to slip away, but was arrested by the forbidden army.
As soon as he saw Mo Baozhou on the bed, he also cried, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why is he dead!" ”
The forbidden army said to Situ Qin: "He wanted to escape, but was captured by his subordinates. ”
Situ Qin snorted coldly and said angrily: "You traitorous villain, the emperor was bewitched by you during his lifetime, and as soon as the emperor died, he actually wanted to escape!" ”
Wang Yi naturally shouted wronged, "Prime Minister, Prime Minister, please spare my life, I will definitely look at you in the future, please!" ”
"Pull it out!" Situ Qin kicked him away and said angrily.
Situ Qin asked Situ Feiyu to take him over, and when he saw Mo Baozhou lying on the bed, Situ Feiyu was naturally extremely sad, and everyone was naturally relieved for a while, and they still called her Niangniang, but soon they all changed it to Your Majesty.
That night, all the ministers changed their filial piety clothes, guarded Mo Baozhou's spirit in the palace, and were busy preparing for Mo Baozhou's funeral.
Although it is said that Mo Baozhou is not buried in the imperial mausoleum, the funeral still has to be done, and it has to be done in a big way.
It's just that Mo Baozhou left too suddenly, and he didn't prepare at all in advance, and he had to hold a funeral the next day, and he was hastily prepared, and it wasn't very grand.
It wasn't until the funeral was over that Xiao Chumo had to go home empty.
Yu Panxi also didn't sleep all night, and stayed up until now, just waiting for the dust to settle down on this matter.
As soon as she heard that Xiao Chumo was back, she immediately greeted him, but bumped into him.
"You're back!" Yu Panxi immediately rejoiced.
Xiao Chumo rubbed her forehead that was red by herself distressedly, "Why are you so careless." ”
"How's it going in the palace?" Yu Panxi immediately asked eagerly.
Xiao Chumo pulled her to the table and sat down, only then did he tell her what had happened, and said: "Because I can't enter the imperial mausoleum, I have to choose another mausoleum for Mo Baozhou, so the body is temporarily parked in the dormitory, and there is no funeral yet." ”
Yu Panxi nodded abruptly and muttered, "Dead, is it really dead?" ”
