Empress Xiao waited for the rebels to leave, so that they could see the emperor and King Zhao.

The emperor was lying on the ground outside the hall, and he was even wearing the clothes of a eunuch, which was covered with dust at this time. The eunuch hat on the emperor's head fell to the ground, but his hair was still neat, but the emperor's face was already bruised, his eyes were wide open, and his eyeballs were protruding.

The mouth was wide open from suffocation, and the tongue was sticking out very long, she had never seen an emperor's tongue stretched out so long.

King Zhao was even more miserable.

A sword in the chest, bleeding all over his body.

Concubine Xiao was standing behind Queen Xiao, trembling, but at this time, she suddenly saw the tragic situation of her own son King Zhao, and couldn't help howling miserably, and stumbled towards the corpse.

The palace people and eunuchs all wept.

There were also tears in Empress Xiao's eyes, she had been married to the north from the southern land of Gangneung since she was a teenager, and she married a man she had never seen before. followed him to live in Chang'an, Jinyang, and Yangzhou for many years, watching him go from King Jin to Crown Prince, and finally to become the king of this empire.

Now the king is dead.

Her husband also died.

Dead like a wild dog, without the dignity of an emperor.

Trying to control the tears from falling, Empress Xiao said to the palace eunuchs, "We have to restrain Your Majesty, we can't let him be so violent." ”

An old eunuch cried that there was no coffin in the palace.

Concubine Xiao and several concubines only knew that they were crying there.

"If there is no coffin, then we will make one ourselves."

"How?" The old eunuch asked.

Empress Xiao thought for a while, "Go fold a few beds and order one with the bed board." ”

The old eunuch was surprised and said that this was too simple and not enough for the emperor's specifications.

"When is it, let's converge first, and let's talk about it later."

At this time, Concubine Xiao cried for a long time, but she took out a small bottle from herself, opened it and leaned back, "Gao'er, my mother is here to accompany you." ”

"Concubine Xiao!"

Many palace people exclaimed.

Someone said to Xiao Hou, "This is poisonous wine." ”

The emperor did ask the imperial doctor to prepare poisoned wine before, but he didn't brew a lot, nor did he want to poison the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army in the north. On the contrary, this poisonous wine, the emperor is worthy of preparing it for his own use.

He handed over the prepared poisoned wine to the concubines and beauties around him, and said to them, "If Du Fuwei or Li Mi, Luo Cheng and other thieves are killed, it is inevitable, then you drink it first, and then I drink it, and we will never fall into the hands of thieves and let them be humiliated." ”

It's just that when the real rebels entered the palace, there were no beautiful concubines around the emperor, and the poisonous wine was not drunk.

At this time, Concubine Xiao was desperate, so she committed suicide by taking poison.

Seeing Concubine Xiao vomit blood and die, many beauties also took out the poisonous wine given by the emperor on their bodies, and they all had to take poison.

Xiao Hou said, "If you really want to accompany Your Majesty, I won't stop you, but if you don't want to die, I won't force it." I will not take poison, I will restrain and mourn for His Majesty. ”

Some beauties and concubines still took poison, for them, the emperor died, the rebels entered the palace, the day has fallen, in the chaos of last night, there have been several beauties and many palace people have been humiliated by the rebels, they don't want to be so frightened, let alone humiliated by the rebels.

Looking at the concubines and beauties who fell to the ground, Queen Xiao just said to the old eunuch, "Let's tear down some more beds and restrain them together." ”

So Empress Xiao took the remaining concubines who did not die, as well as a group of eunuchs and palace maids, to dismantle all the beds in this side hall, and then used the bed board to order a simple coffin for the emperor first.

Then make small coffins for King Zhao, Xiao Concubine and others to restrain them.

The old eunuch brought white linen cloth for everyone to wear filial piety.

"What now?"

The old eunuch said that there are rebels guarding the outside of this side hall now, and they are not allowed to enter or leave.

"Let's stop at the Liuzhu Hall in the West Courtyard!"

Empress Xiao leaned on the side of the coffin, looking at the simple small coffin, the emperor who had changed into the robe of the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty, the concubine can only do this."

The people in the eunuch palace were all whining and crying, but they only attracted the reprimands of the rebels outside.

On the other side of the court, above the court.

Yu Wenhua and Gao sit on the dragon chair that only emperors can sit on on weekdays.

A rebel general gathered, and in addition, the accompanying officials who had not been killed last night were also notified to be invited and were standing outside the hall.

Hu Benlang told Yu Wenhua about Yuanli and killed Yuan Chong, the right servant of Shangshu, Yu Wenxie, the general of the right Yiwei, and the general Dugu Sheng of the left Tunwei, as well as Qianniu Yu Wenyi, Qianniu Dugu Kaiyuan and others, and Xiao Ju, the Duke of Liang Guo, and his son were also killed.

"Li Yuan took his son and several sons-in-law, and Qianniu Chai Shao and others took advantage of the chaos to escape from the city and went to Shen Guang and Chen Ling's Jiangbei camp."

'This old thief! 'Yu Wenhua and a little flustered.

The next focus of everyone's discussion is two, one is that now the emperor has been killed, then the next thing is to support Yu culture and claim the emperor's accession to the throne, or what? The other is what to do with the tens of thousands of Xiaoguo troops in the Jiangbei camp not far from here?

When Li Yuan fled from the city, he was still the Huangmen squire and the prime minister, while Chen Ling was the pacification envoy of Huainan, and Shen Guang was the general of the Xiaoguo Left Army.

Sima Dekan said that we directly supported Xu Guogong as the emperor here.

"No, Li Yuan and Chen Ling and his gang have not surrendered yet, so they can't be called emperors for the time being."

Yu Wenhua was still a little worried that Li Yuan and them would come back, so he thought that he was not in a hurry to become emperor now, but should first find a way to subdue Li Yuan and them, and all he could think of was to support a clan first, so that he could also act in the name of the imperial court, which was better than immediately becoming the emperor and letting Li Yuan have the name of rebellion.

So in the end, Yu Wenhua decided to call himself the prime minister, the prime minister and a hundred officials, which was imitated by Yang Jian to usurp the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

"Prime Minister, may I ask who should be appointed emperor?" Sima Dekan asked.

Pei Qiantong said that the emperor's grandson, Yang Qi, is still in custody.

"No, Yang Qi is the emperor's grandson, and he has always been smart, so he will definitely not cooperate." Yu Wenhua hurriedly interrupted, Yang Qi, as the emperor's grandson, was made the emperor's grandson, and he has always performed very well, especially last night when Li Yuan was in a hurry, he still sent someone to inform him to escape, but he had to enter the palace first to report the news.

Fortunately, the Xuanwu Sect had already let them control it.

Such a person is definitely not easy to control, even if he is just a puppet, he has to choose a good one to control.

Emperor Yang Guang was killed, as was Yang Gao, the king of Zhao.

There is only one prince left, Yang Yong, who has already been supported by Luo Cheng in Liaodong and ascended the throne as emperor.

Now there is only one imperial grandson left in the palace, Yang Qi, but Yu Wenhua refuses to set him up.

So everyone can only find someone else.

"How about Yang Xiu, the king of Shu?" Yu culture and asked.

Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, is the brother of Emperor Yang Guang, who has been out of Shu for a long time, and later Yang Guang took the crown prince, Yang Xiu was very dissatisfied with this second brother. So Yang Guang conspired with Yang Su to frame Yang Xiu for using a witch cup to curse Emperor Wen and the emperor's favorite young son, King Han, so he was deprived of his official title by Emperor Wen and demoted to a commoner and placed under house arrest in the province.

Later, after Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he continued to put Yang Xiu under house arrest, and put his seven sons under house arrest together.
