Chapter 60: Out of the City

(Ask for collection and recommendation)

The eldest princess was only one step ahead of the imperial doctor, and her cloak was scattered, leaving the maid far behind, and entered the palace alone, heading straight to the emperor's corpse.

No one told her about the assassination, but the eldest princess seemed to have a premonition, looked down for a while, as if she was about to cry bitterly, turned around, but her expression had regained her composure, "What about the assassin?" ”

The three assassins were somewhat nervous, and Shao Junqian stepped forward and said, "Killed on the spot." ”

"It's suicide." Zhang Shiyu corrected.

"Anyone else knows......" The eldest princess glanced at the corpse.

"No, only these people in the temple." Shao Junqian said.

Several maids chased after her, and just as she was about to enter the hall, she was scolded by the eldest princess.

When she confronted the trio again, her tone became gentle again, "The trio did a great job. ”

Shao Junqian said again: "The imperial doctor will be here soon, and the queen mother will ......."

The eldest princess came late, but she already knew the current situation, "Since the three of you have brought me the first one, I am not welcome, make an idea, please follow it." ”

"We listen to the eldest princess." Zhang Shiyu rushed to say, wishing that someone would make the decision for him.

"Please Mr. Shao stop the imperial doctor, how long can you stop. I'm going to see the Queen Mother, it's better than others disturbing the Queen Mother. Yu Shizi went to invite the king of Jibei, don't say what happened, just come. Lou Gongzi-" The eldest princess paused for a moment, "Please invite Lou Gongzi to invite the general of the Chinese army, if such a big thing happens, you must first stabilize the palace, and then the capital." ”

Shao Junqian said yes, Lou Ji nodded silently, Zhang Shiyu was still a little hesitant, "Will it be ...... if my father is summoned at this time?" Arouse the suspicion of outsiders? ”

"With me, no one will suspect the King of Jibei or the Lou family."

Zhang Shiyu was greatly relieved, and was just about to receive the order to leave the hall, and the building said: "There must be a holy decree, otherwise, we can't go out, and we can't bring people in." ”

Shao Junqian had actually prepared the holy decree, but since he decided to find the eldest princess first, he did not stamp the imperial seal on it.

The eldest princess glanced at it hurriedly and agreed.

The imperial seal was placed on the table nearby, and the four of them stared at it together, and after stamping it, Shao Junqian said: "Please ask the eldest princess to summon the eunuch order and guard the seal with the ministers." ”

The eldest princess went to the door in person, named the names of the five eunuchs, five people came in, saw that the emperor did not move, they already understood what was going on, just about to cry bitterly, the eldest princess strictly forbidden, simply confessed a few words, she went out of the palace to see the queen mother first.

Shao Junqian guarded the palace gate and blocked the upcoming imperial doctor.

Zhang Shiyu ran in front with the holy decree, and Lou Ji stayed behind, standing beside Shao Junqian.

"Lou Gongzi ......" Shao Junqian was very surprised.

"Mr. Shao, don't blame, this matter is too important, I have to ask."

"Excuse me."

Lou Ji lowered his voice: "Is the eldest princess reliable?" ”

"This ...... I can't promise anything, but looking at the appearance of the eldest princess, it should be fine, right? ”

"Mr. Shao is smart, why is he confused at this time? Could it be that Mr. Shao and the eldest princess ......"

"Don't talk nonsense." Shao Junqian turned her head to look at the five eunuchs in the hall, "I know that Lou Gongzi is uneasy, do you want me to swear?" ”

"No, I just need one thing."

"The Imperial Seal can't do it, that's ......"

"I don't want the imperial seal, I want that edict."

"Edict?"

Lou Ji gently opened the placket, "I'll change it with you." ”

The murderous dagger was in his arms, Shao Junqian didn't see anything, he was already frightened, and hurriedly took out the holy decree written by him in imitation of the emperor's handwriting and stamped with the imperial seal, with this edict, the crown prince could ascend the throne without dispute.

Lou Ji took the edict and put it into his hand and said: "From now on, the Lou family and Mr. Shao will share hardships. ”

"Together."

The building base hurriedly walked away.

He understood that he had made an extremely serious mistake before, he should not agree to summon the eldest princess first, but should insist on calling the third brother Lou Hard, the short period of time from the emperor's death to the leakage of the news is extremely important, whoever presides over the situation first will take the lead, as soon as the eldest princess arrives, the arrangements are well organized, and the opportunity has fallen into her hands.

Nine times out of ten, Shao Junqian has long colluded with the eldest princess.

After all, the building foundation is soft-spoken, and it is difficult to recapture the opportunity once it is lost, so it is even coaxed and frightened, and the edict is deceived.

On this night, everyone is in danger, everyone is terrified, and some mistakes will inevitably be made.

Lou Ji met the imperial doctor on the road, and sure enough, there was not one, but a team of seven or eight people, all carrying medicine boxes on their backs, and running in small steps under the escort of eunuchs.

Lou Jian and the guards have been guarding outside the palace gate, and as soon as the holy decree arrives, they will be released.

Lou was in a hurry, stepped forward and grabbed his younger brother's shoulders, and asked eagerly, "What's wrong with Your Majesty?" ”

"The third brother will know as soon as he goes."

The two walked side by side to the palace, Lou dragged his fat body, and walked not slowly, "Your Majesty is angry?" I don't know how the Assassins got involved in ......"

There was no one in front and behind, the building stopped, grabbed one of the third brother's arms, and said in a low voice: "Later, you must insist that I go out of the city to pass the decree to the general." ”

"Why do you want to preach?" Lou Qiang looked puzzled.

"Remember my words, you must remember, Lou ......"

There was a sound of footsteps from behind, and Lou Ji pulled the third brother to continue walking.

The Lou brothers arrived the earliest, Lou hard into the hall felt wrong, when he saw the emperor lying on the chair and did not move, several eunuchs covered their mouths and wanted to cry and did not dare to cry, immediately understood, a few steps to grab over, kneeling on the ground and crying, he cried, the eunuchs also knelt down and cried.

"The queen mother hasn't arrived yet, don't ...... like this, the general of the Chinese army" Shao Junqian stepped forward to persuade, and before the words were finished, the father and son of the king of Jibei arrived.

Although the eldest princess told her not to reveal the truth too early in advance, the king of Jibei still asked the truth from the prince, entered the palace crying, ran to the couch and knelt down, and supported the corpse to cry bitterly.

The three assassins stood at the door, becoming more and more nervous, especially Zhang Shiyu, who didn't feel that his father was not a participant in the assassination, and was suspicious of the other two, so he stepped forward to kneel and cry with his father.

"He'll leak." Lou Ji whispered.

Shao Junqian also saw it, "When the time comes, we won't recognize it, Yu Shizi is young, and no one will believe what he says." ”

"Don't be careless." Lou Ji is only three or four years older than Zhang Shiyu, but he seems to have matured for decades, "Someone has to go out of the city to meet the prince and the general." ”

"Lou Gongzi wants to go out of the city?"

Lou Ji nodded, "I will directly hand over the edict to the prince." ”

"But I can't write any more decrees now."

"Later, Mr. Lao Shao will persuade the eldest princess."

Shao Junqian approached the building foundation, "You won't encourage the general ......"

"The army of the Western Expedition is in Tongguan, and there are forbidden troops outside the city, which are not controlled by the general, what is Mr. Shao afraid of? I'm only worried that Yu Shizi is talking nonsense, there are many rumors, the prince and the general are blocked, and they can't enter the city. ”

Shao Junqian was about to speak, when the Queen Mother arrived.

The sky was slightly bright, the queen mother had already woken up in the palace, uneasy, heard the news of the emperor's assassination, immediately paralyzed, half a day to get up, crying all the way over.

"My son......" The queen mother didn't go to see the emperor, but first hugged the ushered King of Jibei and cried bitterly.

The queen mother brought a lot of people, the side hall seemed a little crowded, Shao Junqian came to the eldest princess's side, talked in a whisper, the eldest princess did not speak, went to support the queen mother, and cried together.

Everyone in the hall was crying, and Lou Ji slowly walked to Mrs. Lan's side and whispered, "I need to go out of the city to see the general." ”

Mrs. Lan was supposed to be in front, but the eldest princess occupied the queen mother's side, so she stayed in the back and sent her daughter-in-law to comfort, she had already seen the building foundation, heard his words, nodded her head, didn't say anything, didn't ask anything.

Lou Hard had long forgotten his brother's entrustment, and he was almost out of breath crying, and the people around the Queen Mother had to persuade him.

After Shao Junqian talked to the eldest princess once, she didn't come closer, knelt behind and cried.

The building really couldn't squeeze out tears, walked out of the side hall, and stood at the door.

At the foot of the steps, dozens of eunuchs and maids knelt on the ground, motionless and waiting for orders to decide how much to cry.

In the midst of a cry, Lou Ji regretted his mistake more and more, he was just a cloth cloth, and with the arrival of nobles one after another, he would quickly retreat to the marginal position, and he didn't even have a chance to interject.

He used to guard the corpse, but now he can only watch the power slip into others.

The crying gradually stopped, and the eunuchs and palace maids ran in and out, conveying all kinds of inexplicable orders, and the queen mother obviously had not found a support.

But the last person in charge must be the eldest princess, Lou Ji hopes that before this, someone can send him out of the city, otherwise, as soon as the eldest princess or the queen mother speaks, he must hand over the edict, and it will be useless from now on.

Huan Yan ran from a distance, climbed the stairs, and was slightly stunned when he saw the building foundation, and asked, "Is it true?" ”

Lou nodded and rushed into the hall with a happy face.

Mrs. Lan came out in person and handed a piece of paper to the building, "This is the Empress Dowager's decree, you should go out of the city immediately." ”

"Yes." A stone fell to the ground in Lou Ji's heart, and he sighed again that the only person who was willing to listen to him was Mrs. Lan.

"You don't have ...... Forget it, don't say anything, go quickly. ”

The building base bowed and saluted, then went down the steps and hurriedly walked out of the palace along the road.

The news has spread, but there is no great chaos in the palace, but no matter who sees Lou Ji and the decree in his hand, he must cry for a while before carrying out the order.

The building was anxious.

In the imperial city, the guards are gathering, indicating that the king of Jibei has taken power.

The building was built to the horses, and when they rode out of the city, they always felt like someone was chasing after them.

Outside the city, the forbidden army occupied the old camp of the Western Expeditionary Army, and no changes had yet occurred, and when the building passed by, he glanced into the camp and understood in his heart that whoever mastered this army first would be the new master of the Eastern Capital.

Running more than ten miles to the west, the building finally saw the team on the road, the scale is not large, but there are many flags.

Someone in front of the team stopped drinking, and Lou Ji asked loudly, "Is there a general ahead?" I am the son of the general, and I came to greet the Empress Dowager by order. ”

The line stopped, and soon someone called the building over.

It's really a great general, sitting in the car, looking haggard, looking at his son a few times, and waving his hand to let the others retreat, "You will definitely not have good news." ”

Lou Ji didn't say anything, and handed it over with the emperor's edict.

Lou Wen opened his eyes, his expression changed immediately, his haggard color disappeared, and he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty ......"

"Hmm."

Lou Wen was in a daze, and Lou Ji asked, "What about the prince?" Isn't it supposed to be with a father? With this edict, at least it can be supported. ”

Lou Wen regretted it, "The prince was taken away by Liang Shengzhi and Guo Shifeng and entered the city ahead of schedule." ”

There were no special pedestrians on the road, and the prince must have entered the city early in the morning.

I thought that the stabbing was the end, but the building foundation realized at this time that everything had just begun.
