Chapter 620: Fu Ling
When Qin Huaiyu spoke, the second prince kept paying attention to the expressions of everyone in the hall, but he didn't see anything.
Everyone looked like they were sinking like water, and their faces did not change when they heard Qin Huaiyu's words.
Fei Qian, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, said in a deep voice: "The emperor is the dragon and the world is sad, but the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, the second prince led the troops to rescue and kill the traitor, since the emperor passed the throne to the second prince before his death, then I respectfully ask the second highness to preside over the court and inherit the great treasure in accordance with the mandate of heaven!" ”
"Please Your Second Highness obey the mandate of heaven and inherit the great treasure!"
"Please obey the mandate of heaven and inherit the great treasure!"
……
The originally quiet hall suddenly became noisy, and the civil and military nobles who did not make a sound were shocked in their hearts, are there so many supporters of the second prince?
Even when you see the wind, you don't make the rudder so fast, right? Could it be that the strength of the second prince hidden in the shadows is so strong?
The hearts of the ministers and nobles were heavy, and what worried them the most was that the emergency distress signal sent by the palace last night was so obvious, why hadn't they seen any soldiers and horses from the Beijing camp coming until now?
Wang Quan said bitterly: "Your Highness, the ministers have seen the emperor's remains!" ”
"Yes, the ministers haven't seen His Majesty's face yet!"
……
The second prince's heart sank, glanced at Wang Quan, and said with a sad face: "Ladies and gentlemen, come with this palace!" ”
The group followed the second prince to the emperor's dormitory, which was heavily guarded along the way, and before they got close to the dormitory, they had already heard the cry from the dormitory.
The emperor was lying peacefully on the dragon bed, Concubine De was taking the pear blossoms crying from the concubines and palace maids to bring rain, and the second prince entered the dormitory with the civil and military nobles.
The Emperor has indeed died!
A group of civil and military nobles cried loudly in the dormitory.
After crying for a while, Wang Quan asked, "Your Highness, why don't you see Concubine Niangniang and His Highness?" ”
The second prince said with a sad face: "The lady concubine and His Royal Highness fainted from the overappreciation, and the imperial doctor is treating it." ”
Wang Quan said sadly: "The emperor has just controlled Bintian, and His Royal Highness has fallen ill, and the minister wants to visit His Highness." ”
The second prince said in a deep voice: "The imperial doctor said that His Royal Highness needs to recuperate, and it is inconvenient to be disturbed, and when His Royal Highness's health is better, it will not be too late for the scholar to visit again." ”
Wang Quan's heart sank again when he heard this, obviously, the eldest prince was either already fierce and unlucky, or he was already under house arrest.
The second prince has the power of the army, and no one can do anything about it.
Wang Quan said in a deep voice: "The emperor is in the sky, and he can't stop his spirit in the palace, and the ministers should help the spirit back to the palace and be mourned by the Ministry of Rites!" ”
Up to now, Wang Quan didn't know what happened to Jingying, and the news of the emperor's death could not be concealed when he returned to the palace with Fuling, and he didn't know how the soldiers in Jingying would react when the time came.
Back to the palace? The second prince suddenly felt a trace of excitement in his heart, the palace, that is the place he yearns for the most.
The second prince nodded and said, "That's what the scholar said!" ”
Early in the morning, the emperor's imperial car left Fangshan and headed towards the palace, and the crying shook the sky along the way, and the white flags fluttered.
All this happened too suddenly, and it happened in the Fangshan Palace outside the city, so the people of the capital didn't know that such a big event had happened.
The people who entered and left the city early in the morning looked at the mighty royal car, the fluttering white flags and white belts, and listened to the earth-shaking cry.
Is this the death of the emperor?
It must be, if the concubine died, there would not be such a scene.
The soldiers guarding the city gate had already noticed the distress signal on Fangshan last night, but the general order from the Governor's Office of the Five Armies was that all battalions were not allowed to move.
They thought nothing big would happen, but they didn't expect to see such a scene early in the morning! What happened last night?
No one expected that there would be such a scene as soon as the city gate was opened, and the generals of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies planned to go out of the city to Fangshan early in the morning, and they were directly stunned when they saw this scene.
Lei Chun, the governor of the Left Army of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, stepped forward with a shocked face and asked in a shocked voice, "What happened?" ”
The second prince said with a sad face: "Father, the emperor was in charge of the dragon last night!" ”
Lei Lei Chun changed color in shock and said, "What? The emperor is riding the sky? ”
Wang Quan asked: "Last night, someone rebelled, and the palace sent out fireworks for help, didn't the soldiers in the Beijing camp see it?" ”
The Governor of the Left Army of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies shouted: "Why didn't the Beijing camp move last night? What are your generals doing? ”
Lei Lei Chun was shocked and said: "This, this, last night the general sat in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, saying that it was the emperor's will, and all departments in the Beijing camp were not allowed to act without a will!" ”
Everyone, including Wang Quan, all changed their faces when they heard this, general?! Lin Xiangnan?!
Isn't Lin Xiangnan out of Beijing? When will you return to Beijing? Why didn't you go to Fangshan, but appeared in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies last night?
No wonder there was no movement in the Beijing camp last night, it turned out to be Lin Xiangnan sitting in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies! It was Lin Xiangnan who prevented the generals of the Jingying from rescuing Fangshan.
Why?
Everyone immediately thought of the will that the emperor on Fangshan had made last year to marry the second prince and Lin Xiangnan's only daughter!
No wonder the second prince will mutiny, and he can mutiny successfully, it turns out that Lin Xiangnan has fallen to the second prince!
Wang Quan suddenly felt a little desperate in his heart, he knew in his heart that it was the second prince who mutiny forced the emperor to death, how could such a disloyal, unfilial and rebellious beast be the emperor of the Great Zhou?
That's why he delayed and helped the emperor's spirit to return to the palace, he was waiting for the news to spread, he was waiting for the attitude of the soldiers in Beijing, waiting for Lin Xiangnan to return to Beijing.
These civil officials have no military power in their hands, so they can't stop the second prince, and the only one who can stop the second prince is Lin Xiangnan, the general of Zhenyuan.
Because Lin Xiangnan has a prestige in the army, and the second prince is unpopular, as long as Lin Xiangnan ascends to the heights, the soldiers of the Beijing camp will inevitably greet each other, and when the time comes, the chaos will be set right, and His Royal Highness will inherit the unification.
Originally, there was still hope in his heart to set things right, but now after listening to Lei Daochun's words, he almost fainted.
Even Lin Xiangnan has already fallen to the second prince, so who else can be counted on?
I never expected that Lin Xiangnan would support the second prince to launch a mutiny, after all, Lin Xiangnan was already a very popular minister, although he had great achievements, but these were inseparable from the emperor's trust.
It is precisely because the emperor trusts him that he can be famous all over the world, and he is a very popular minister, and his holy family has always been the most gracious.
Who would have thought that Lin Xiangnan would launch a mutiny with the second prince! There is nothing more than this!
Lin Xiangnan, did you even ignore loyalty for the sake of your daughter? The emperor is so kind to you, are you so wolf-hearted? Wang Quan really wanted to grab Lin Xiangnan's collar and question him properly.
