Huang Fu Heng won dozens of horses from the Eagle Dog Fang, rushed out of the North Pyloric Gate and ran wildly towards the capital, the brigade of Yulin Army chased after him, and finally failed to catch up with him, allowing him to escape from Huaqing Palace, at this time, the peripheral Yulin Army was all transferred into the palace, and did not encounter any obstacles along the way, Huang Fuheng ran out of dozens of miles in one breath.

Night has fallen, Huang Fuheng and dozens of guards have run away from people and horses, they only have more than forty horses, and the guards behind have not been able to keep up, Huang Bingkun asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, where are we going?" ”

Huangfu Heng was thinking about this problem all the way, it was impossible for him to go to Yongjing, his father had already transferred his people away, Xijing stayed in Shenji and controlled the 100,000 Guanzhong army, and the Yulin Fu that mobilized the 200,000 emperor's direct army was taken away by Empress Shen first, he had no chance, but what made him anxious was that there was no news from Li Mi's side, if the weight removal went well, Li Mi should have led the troops a long time ago, but if he didn't come yet, could something happen?

Huang Fuheng sighed, "Let's go east first and leave Guanzhong as soon as possible." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard one of the guards shouting: "Your Highness, the army is coming!" ”

The emperor stood up suddenly, and looked nervously ahead, only to see a crowd surging in the darkness, and it was an army rushing towards this side.

Huangfu Heng was frightened, he turned over his horse and was about to run into the woods, but someone shouted in the distance: "Is it Your Highness?" The humble position is Xu Chong. ”

Huangfu Heng's heart suddenly let go, he came back, the army had stopped, and several people on horseback rushed towards him, and the front was his henchman Xu Chong.

Huangfu Heng was overjoyed, his army finally came, but he immediately found that the number of troops was not much, only more than a thousand people, he was stunned in his heart, isn't there 5,000 people?

Xu Zhong and another lieutenant officer turned over and dismounted, knelt down to salute, "Your Highness, you are late in your humble position, and your Highness is frightened." ”

Huang Fuheng didn't see Li Mi, he was surprised, "What about General Li?" Why didn't he come? ”

The lieutenant next to him reported: "Back to His Highness, General Li led three thousand brothers to Tongguan to open the way first. ”

Xu Chong also hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, we all think that the Yulin Army has a large number of people, and we can't really fight, only by sneak attack to rescue His Highness, the key is Tongguan, if Tongguan can't be taken first, it will still be difficult for us to escape." ”

Huang Fuheng secretly scolded in his heart, originally he wanted to use Li Mi's 5,000 troops to attack the Huaqing Palace again to see if he could recover the situation, but now that there are only more than 1,000 people, how can he still get it back? It was really providential, and he had no choice but to say: "Okay then! Go to Tongguan first. ”

In the era of peace, the defenders of Tongguan are not much, only more than 1,000 people, and the guard general is only a commander general, because Li Mi rushed to Tongguan first, so that Shen Guo's uncle intercepted the order one step late, three days later, Huangfu Heng crossed Tongguan, led 5,000 people to Luojing rushed.

．．．．．．．． Uncle Shen led 30,000 cavalry to the Huaqing Palace at night, and the Chu King Huangfu Tian also rushed to the Huaqing Palace, at the same time, Xijing stayed behind Shen Ji also led 50,000 troops to control Yongjing City, although the news of the emperor's death was tightly sealed, but the sudden tense situation still made many people guess a clue, it is likely that something happened to the emperor.

Huaqing Palace, at this time inside and outside the palace has been completely controlled by Uncle Shen's army, Huangfu Xuande's coffin in front of a cry, the King of Chu and dozens of important ministers of the court knelt on the ground and cried loudly, finally, Uncle Shen wiped away his tears and said to everyone: "Ministers, the country can not be said to be without a king, we can discuss the establishment of a new monarch, please follow me to the side hall." ”

Everyone agreed, Uncle Shen took more than a dozen important ministers and the royal family to sit down in the side hall to discuss the policy of establishing a new monarch, their eyes were red and swollen, and their mood was sad, but the grim situation in front of them made them unable to cry the emperor, and they must solve the problem of the new emperor's accession to the throne as soon as possible.

All the people present are members of the Chu Wang's party, and there is no objection to the king of Chu as the new monarch, but the problem now is that the emperor's edict to abolish the crown prince has not been issued, which makes everyone very nervous, and they look at Uncle Shen Guo.

In front of Uncle Shen, there were more than 20 eunuchs and imperial doctors in the inner palace, who were telling Uncle Shen about the cause of the emperor's death.

Imperial Physician Liu, who was on duty, said first: "Xiangguo, the emperor died after taking the pill sent by the witch doctor today, and Gonggong Ma is the same, their poisoning symptoms are the same, we have tested the pill, and it does contain severe poison." ”

"Where are the two witch doctors?" Uncle Shen asked sharply.

The guard next to him said: "Back to Xiangguo, the two witch doctors have been caught and are now imprisoned in the palace." ”

"Bring them both up at once."

Uncle Shen Guo shouted the order, the guards ran down, and he asked a few little eunuchs in the imperial study, "Just now you said that the emperor wanted to abolish the crown prince, what is the reason?" ”

The three little eunuchs glanced at each other, and one of them said timidly: "We are listening to the conversation between the emperor and Ma Gonggong, it seems that the prince has a private army, which makes the emperor angry, and the medicine offered by the witch doctor today is also related to the prince, so the emperor arrested the prince, and in the end, the prince took advantage of the chaos to run away." ”

The eunuch's confession was completely consistent with Uncle Shen's inference, but he couldn't figure out why the emperor knew that the pill was poisonous, why he still took it, why Gonggong Ma committed suicide, and why the secret of Huangfu Wujin was not made public, and even Huangfu Yibiao was inexplicably killed, what kind of name is hidden in this? Rao is Uncle Shen Guo's head wants to explode, and he can't think of Ma Yuanzhen's true identity.

He knew that there must be some kind of secret hidden in it, but this secret was not important now, the important thing was that the king of Chu would ascend the throne smoothly.

At this time, several guards brought in the witch mother and son who bound their hands and feet, and the two of them wanted to offer medicine and escape, but they were locked up by the guards, and their escape plan was frustrated.

As soon as he entered the palace and knelt down, the witch said something with emotion, and his son explained: "My mother said that her elixir was given by God, and that the emperor had been taken to heaven by the gods, and that it was a good thing that he would still be the emperor in another family. ”

Uncle Shen Guo was furious and shouted, "Call me!" ”

The guards next to them hated these two witch doctors, and everyone raised their sticks and hit them with their heads and faces, and they hit them very hard, beating the two of them to cry wolf, Uncle Shen waved his hand, the guards stopped the sticks, and Uncle Shen Guo said: "I'll ask you again, do you want to recruit or not?" ”

The two finally couldn't stand the beating, and finally admitted that they were bought by the prince and poisoned in the pill, and Uncle Shen Guo ordered them to draw a charge on the confession, and said to the left and right: "Take them down, and they will be imprisoned!" ”

Uncle Shen Guo turned around and asked Li Mo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, "What do you think, my lord?" ”

Li Mo sighed and said: "The prince raised a private army first, and poisoned his father later, he has lost his morality, and I agree to abolish the prince." ”

More than a dozen other ministers also said that they could abolish the crown prince, and Uncle Shen asked the three royal families he specially invited, "Do several princes agree?" ”

The three members of the royal family are Pengcheng County Wang Huang Fu Luo Song, Huai'an County Wang Huang Fu Juncheng and Ruyang County Wang Huang Fu Zihan, these three are all members of the Nanshan faction, Huang Fu Yi Biao died, so that they lost their backbone, the three of them looked at each other, if they did not agree, I am afraid that Huang Fu Yi Biao would be their end, the three of them had to nod their heads in agreement, "We are also in favor of abolishing the crown prince." ”

"Since this is the case, then we have decided to abolish the crown prince first and establish the king of Chu as the East Palace!"

Uncle Shen Guo turned back to Lu Xi, a scholar of Hallym University, and said, "The will can be drafted!" ”

Lu Xi already had a case in his heart, so with a stroke of his pen, he handed over the edict of the abolished prince to Uncle Shen Guo, "It's ready, please take a look at it!" ”

Uncle Shen Guo took it and looked at it, yes, the private army was discovered by the emperor, so he poisoned his father, this reason is very sufficient, he passed it on to everyone to take a look, this is the case, everyone agreed, Uncle Shen got up and said: "Everyone go to take care of the emperor's coffin first, and I will go to see the queen." ”

At this time, the national seal and the transfer of troops Yulin Fu are still in the hands of Queen Shen, before her son ascends the throne, she will not give the national seal and Yulin Fu to anyone, including her brother Uncle Shen, she can't believe it, and she is still angry with Uncle Shen in her heart, if it wasn't for Uncle Shen to send Shen Ruyu into the palace, the emperor would not be so indulgent, and he would not die early.

When she saw Uncle Shen coming in, she said coldly: "Uncle Guo, has my emperor's edict on enthronement been prepared?" ”

Uncle Shen Guo hurriedly got up and saluted, "Niangniang, before the king of Chu ascends the throne, the prince must be abolished, and the king of Chu must be the east palace before he can ascend the throne. ”

After speaking, he presented the will, and a eunuch forwarded it to Empress Shen, who read it carefully, and then personally stamped the national seal on the holy decree.

"Okay, Uncle Guo go and announce it!"

Uncle Shen Guo saw that his sister held the national seal tightly in his hand, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, so he said softly: "Niangniang, the king of Chu ascends the throne, Niangniang will be the queen mother, and she has the seal of the queen mother, and the queen mother of the national seal should not be kept, it should be handed over to Fu Baolang, this is a ritual system." ”

Empress Shen snorted and said: "As the queen, what is the regulation on the iron tablet of the Taimiao, I know better than Uncle Guo, and I will naturally deal with the national seal and the jade Lin Fu properly, and I don't bother Uncle Guo." ”

Uncle Shen Guo was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "When is the Queen Mother going to transfer it to the King of Chu?" ”

Unexpectedly, Empress Shen shook her head and said very seriously: "The King of Chu is young, and he must be eighteen years old to read and govern, and there is a clear statement on the iron tablet of the Taimiao that before the emperor becomes an adult, the queen mother should be regent, so after the king of Chu and the jade lin charm come of age, I will naturally hand it over to the emperor, this is a matter of the royal family, and the uncle is a relative, please don't interfere too much with the rules of the temple." ”

Empress Shen's words made Uncle Shen completely stunned.

．．．．．．．．． The next time, the imperial court announced to the world, the emperor died, the prince's private army was exposed, poisoned and killed his father, and lost his morality in the world, so it was no longer suitable for the East Palace, and it was announced that the prince would be abolished and the king of Chu would be the crown prince.

Three days later, hundreds of royal families made a decision in the Zongmiao, officially established the king of Chu as the new emperor, the king of Chu was young, regent by the queen mother, the king of Chu under the protection of three thousand ironclad guards, officially ascended the throne as the emperor, changed the year name to Yixing, sealed the first emperor temple number as Yingzong, canonized the Empress Dowager Jing'an as the empress dowager, and named the queen mother Shen as the empress dowager Simin, and granted amnesty to the world.

On the same day that the king of Chu ascended the throne, the prince Emperor Fu Heng also ascended the throne in Luojing, he announced the world, his father's death was caused by taking witch medicine, he was the prince, and he should succeed to the throne.

He chased the first emperor's temple number and also Yingzong, but named his mother Yang as the Queen Mother of Duanmin, respected the Queen Mother An as the Queen Mother, and named Zhang Jinjie as the Zhongshu Order and the Ministry of Shangshu; The father of the crown princess, Zhou Jin, the former secretary of the military department, was the servant of the door and the secretary of the household department; The father of the Empress Dowager Yang, Taifu Yang Sheng is the secretary of the military department and the generalissimo of the expedition to the west; Su Hanchang, the former waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites; The heir of the Liang Wang, Huangfu Wujin, was the king of Liang and the governor of Chuzhou.

At the same time, Huang Fuheng issued an edict to grant amnesty to the world and call on the heroes of the world to fight against the puppet emperor of Xijing.
