The Northland Division received a message from the flying pigeon, and 1,500 people were equipped with new horizontal knives cast by the blacksmith battalion, and one person rode in pairs, and they had already set off in full gear

There are still five days before Emperor Daqian's Chan Rang and the new emperor ascends the throne, at this time in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhao Mu summoned Xiao Zhongchang to the study again, Zhao Mu is now coughing up blood every night, no matter what panacea, it is no longer possible to stop Zhao Mu's worsening condition.

Facing Zhao Mu, whose face was as pale as paper and described as haggard, Xiao Zhong burst into tears, he knelt on the ground and sobbed: "Your Majesty! You must take care of the dragon body, and don't overwork! ”

Waving his hand weakly, Zhao Mu coughed and said: "Zhong Chang, I have a short life, I'm afraid that time is running out, and whether I can support it until the day I ascend the throne, I'm afraid only God knows." cough cough"

After Zhao Mu coughed a few times, he retreated left and right, and let the Qianniu Army guard a hundred steps away, and then he opened a brocade box on the bookcase with difficulty, took out a yellow thing, and handed it to Xiao Zhongchang, he smiled bitterly and weakly: "The situation is chaotic, the world of Great Chu is afraid that it will face a catastrophe of life and death." I am no longer able to cope with such a heavy upheaval in the imperial situation, and as a precaution, I have made a special edict to be entrusted to you for safekeeping. You are the only person I trust the most! In any case, you must keep the crown prince and ascend the throne smoothly. This is a major event related to the thousand-year-old foundation of my Great Chu Dynasty, I hope you will live up to my entrustment, cough cough cough cough"

When Xiao Zhongchang heard this, he received the edict in his hand, and suddenly felt as if he had received not a fluttering holy decree, but a big mountain, Rao is after more than 60 years of wind and rain changes, at this moment, the holy decree in his hand also made Xiao Zhongchang breathless. Unexpectedly, Zhao Mu would hand over such an important thing to himself, and while Xiao Zhongchang was grateful, he also felt pressure.

"Your Majesty"

Xiao Zhongchang held the edict in his hand, fell to the ground, and couldn't cry

The words were divided into two ends, and Zhang Cheng, who didn't know what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion, was coming to the gate of the Jingzhao Mansion with two hundred cavalry of the Yulin Army at this moment. The people of Luocheng, who didn't know what was going on, saw that more than 1,000 Yulin soldiers who were guarding the palace actually ran to Jingzhao Mansion menacingly, and they all talked about it.

"Come on, surround Jingzhao Mansion, and no one will run away! If you resist, shoot and kill! As soon as Zhang Cheng arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, he shouted to Guo Hongtao beside him.

Guo Hongtao responded to the order and shouted to his subordinates: "The left and right teams will surround Jingzhao Mansion, and no one will be missed." Immediately clean the streets, idle people, etc., and let them avoid it. Guo Hongtao seems to be accustomed to this matter, and orders in an orderly manner.

The four regiments of soldiers and horses surrounded Jingzhao Mansion on both sides, and a group of soldiers and horses immediately dispersed the crowd of onlookers, Zhang Cheng dismounted and said to Guo Hongtao: "Follow me in and arrest Zhao Que!" ”

Guo Hongtao called a group of soldiers and horses, followed by Zhang Cheng, and rushed into the Jingzhao Mansion.

Zhao Que was still resting in the palace at this time, but suddenly the guards came to report that more than 1,000 people from Yulin Wei surrounded the Jingzhao Mansion and the government was impassable, Zhao Que suddenly panicked, he knew that the 1,000 armor soldiers he recruited were not the opponents of the Yulin Army at all, he paced back and forth, not knowing what to do.

At this time, the staff who walked in from the internal government said to Zhao Que: "Dong Weng, let the armor cover us, run from behind, there is the governor to support us, what can the Yulin army do with us at that time?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Que seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and immediately shouted: "Quick, let Liu Xu rush out of the back door with the soldiers and horses and go straight to the Governor's Mansion!" ”

As soon as they rushed into the mansion, the soldiers of the Yulin Army rushed over and said solemnly: "Zhao Que has broken through from the back gate with a thousand weak brigades!" Our army is fighting fiercely with it! In a few moments, Zhao Que will be completely wiped out by our army! ”

"Order, surround Zhao Que with all your might, you must not let him escape, and those who surrender must not be killed! Whoever resists, kill on the spot! Zhang Cheng ordered.

"Yes!"

The strength of five regiments, 1,000 people surrounded Zhao Que, after several fierce battles, Zhao Que's 1,000 people were killed nearly half, and the blood on the ground soaked the bluestone slab at the back door of the mansion red. More than 500 people surrendered, and Zhao Que was arrested.

Zhang Cheng came on a horse, looking at this embarrassed person who was wearing a four-grade official mansion, his official robe was scattered, and his hair was loose, Zhang Cheng knew that this person was Zhao Que.

"Verify your identity and behead you at the noon gate to show the public!" Zhang Cheng said to Guo Hongtao.

"Yes!" Guo Hongtao received the order, picked up Zhao Que, who was sitting on the ground, and pulled him down. The Yulin army closed the team, Guo Hongtao pressed Zhao Que, and beheaded the public at noon

The Metropolitan Governor's Palace

"What do you say? Zhao Que was beheaded? When Zhao Hui heard the guard's report, he suddenly got up, bent down and grabbed the guard.

"Yes! Zhao Que Yulin was killed, and the leader of the army was the new general, Zhang Cheng. And Zhao Que was raided, and his family has been sent to the army! The guard looked at Zhao Hui's murderous gaze, his heart trembled, and he said in a trembling voice.

Kicking the guard, Zhao Hui turned around, angrily grabbed the teacup on the table, and threw it heavily on the ground, shattering it to the ground.

"Zhang Cheng! You ungrateful dog thief! I'm going to tear you to pieces!" Ahh

Du Hongwen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Chen Da, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, who were sitting in the position on the left, glanced at each other, Du Hongwen stood up with a frown, and said to Zhao Hui: "The governor of the capital is angry!" Now it seems that Zhang Cheng has completely thrown himself into Zhao Jingyu's side, so it is not a big deal for us. Originally, we only had one enemy, the Beiya Forbidden Army, and now we still have only such an enemy. It's just a change of commander, could it be said that with one more Zhang Cheng, the Beiya Forbidden Army will become a god? No way! Therefore, the Metropolitan Governor had no need to be angry. At the moment, the most important thing is the arrangement of the palace. Once the matter is a foregone conclusion, even if he is Zhang Cheng, can he make any big waves? ”

Chen Da stood up and said lightly like an idle cloud and a wild crane: "Those who become big things are not informal, and a mere Zhang Cheng is nothing more than stealing a chicken and touching a dog, which is not enough to shake a big thing." Now that the imperial army is stationed in the south, the old prime minister can only rely on a northern forbidden army to help Zhao Jingyu sit on the throne. Now in the imperial court, more than half of the officials support you, if we recruit another strong reinforcement, this move is a sure thing. There are still five days left before the abdication of Emperor Daqian, we must complete all the deployments before that, and the Metropolitan Governor must not give up all his efforts because of a mere four-grade Jing Zhaoyin. ”

After the two of them advised him like this, Zhao Hui's original monstrous anger gradually subsided. He looked at the sky outside the lobby and said to the two behind him, "Don't worry, everything is under control." This matter, I am already doing it in secret, beating the snake and hitting seven inches, even if he is in control of the eccentric father, such as the king and the father, he will not be able to turn over the palm of my hand when the time comes! ”

Du Hongwen and Chen Da glanced at each other and showed a faint smile

After Zhang Cheng beheaded Zhao Que, he came to the palace. The palace of the Daqian Empire is really magnificent, only to see the red wall of blue bricks piled up everywhere and glazed tiles, the palaces are scattered, the eaves carved by the best nanmu are like a phoenix with wings ready to fly, and the columns carved with golden dragon patterns support the palace, just like the national pillar of the Daqian Empire, supporting the entire Daqian Empire.

The glorious palace, the magnificent pavilion and the jade of Qionglou, cross the emerald green grass and trees, complement each other; The grandeur and quiet and elegant scenery are embellished with each other, which is truly the ultimate place in the world.

The emperor of the Great Qian Empire is now a candlestick that has run out of oil, and one day, the wax torch will turn into ashes, and it will eventually be buried in the loess. Seeing that the emperor's abdication was imminent, Zhao Mu was about to ascend the throne and become the emperor, so he moved into the Taihe Palace in advance today.

The main hall is the Taiji Palace, this is the place where the ministers meet the emperor, the book is presented, and the major national affairs are discussed, here symbolizes the supreme power of the whole country, in the main hall, the top of the palace is the top of the palace cast by the glaze, there is a dragon carved to fly in the air on the cornice, the nine dragon pillars support the whole hall like the pillar of optimus, the ground paved with fine white jade, flashing with a moist and soft light, the front of the hall, is the dragon chair made of pure gold on the emperor's nine-foot dragon platform, the dragon chair carved back chair is brilliant, The picture is a depiction of the scene of Longyao Kyushu, and the vermilion lacquer gate is also carved with the pattern of the dragon flying in the sky, all of which show the supremacy of imperial power.

In addition to the Taiji Palace, there are dozens of large and small palace groups such as the Taihe Palace, the Liangyi Palace, the Chengqing Palace, the Qianyuan Palace, the Mingyi Palace, the Government Affairs Palace, the Imperial Study, the Chunhua Palace, etc. It's truly spectacular.

Looking at the palace group of Wangnuoda, Zhang Cheng looked for his way to the Taiji Palace, Qianniujun blocked his way, and handed over the horizontal knife on Zhang Cheng's waist, and the guards of Qianniujun told Zhang Cheng that the prime minister and Shang Shuling were discussing in the palace, and they would summon him later.

At this time, Zhao Mu and Zhao Jingyu were in the Taiji Palace, Zhao Mu was sitting in a wheelchair, and now he was no longer able to stand on top of the entire Dragon Palace, he looked at everything brilliant in front of him indifferently, and said to Zhao Jingyu: "Yu'er, see it." This is the center of power in the whole world, as long as you sit on that dragon chair, you can control the power of life and death of the subjects of the world, but you have to remember that no matter what position you sit in the future, you must remember that the greater the power, the heavier the responsibility you have to shoulder. Although you hold the power of life and death of billions of living beings, you also shoulder the responsibility of benefiting them. ”

"Remember, child! Don't forget it! Zhao Jingyu was very sad in his heart at the moment, this father who gave birth to him and raised him is now so old and haggard that it is difficult to even walk, looking at his pale and wrinkled face like an old tree, looking at this supreme who is about to die and will soon die, how unbearable and reluctant Zhao Jingyu is.

Zhao Mu looked at this splendid palace, and after a long while, he sighed, looking at his son beside him, he was also very reluctant. He still has too many things that have not been handled properly for him, and there are still many ways that have not been taught to him, but God does not bless him, and time is running out, he can only do his best and obey the destiny of heaven.

"Hey" for a long time, Zhao Mu sighed, and he said to Zhao Jingyu: "It is estimated that Zhang Cheng has arrived, you can go to see him on my behalf." ”

"Yes, Father!"

I'm sorry for the night, forgive me, brothers.
