Chapter 66: Death
The emperor was on the throne on all fours, the crown on his head had fallen off, and his mouth was full of blood that he had vomited. The hall was even more chaotic, some were shouting for the imperial doctor, some were panicking, and some were arguing, making a mess, many ministers stood up, and several prime ministers ran to the platform and knelt in front of the throne to see the emperor's situation.
During this period, there was also Wang Guifei's crying and scolding, I saw that her face was full of tears, her arms trembled, and she looked sad and scared, "The day before yesterday, His Majesty mentioned that she wanted to abolish the queen, but she suffered this catastrophe in one sentence, and she was the most poisonous woman's heart, she really could ...... it."
Gao, who was dressed in a cyan base dress, was dressed very old-fashioned, but her still childish face was panicked, and she couldn't calm down, after all, she was too young to experience many storms. One of her faces was white, arguing there.
"King Jin...... Where is King Jin? Gao shouted.
Xue Chongxun hurriedly walked up the steps and hugged his fists and said, "Weichen is here." ”
When Wang Guifei saw it, she immediately scolded: "These two people colluded inside and outside to murder Jinshang!" ”
Zuo Xiang Lu Xiang said first: "Don't worry, noble lady, treat Your Majesty first, and then theorize about this matter later." Is the Imperial Doctor here? ”
"Coming, coming, hurry over and save Your Majesty."
There was a lot of chaos around, and Xue Chongxun was also unprepared for such a thing suddenly, and he wondered: Who poisoned the emperor? Only the few people around the emperor had a chance to temporarily take medicine, and no one else could have a chance. Wang Guifei? Empress Gao? Or who?
In this situation, it is not good to kill the emperor on either side. Empress Gao is even more unlikely, if she wants to do such a big thing, she must first conspire with herself, an important ally, in order to get the support of the big forces inside and outside the palace; Isn't she brain-dead doing such a risky thing without discussion?
There is never a shortage of stupid people, but Xue Chongxun doesn't think that Queen Gao is such a stupid person. Wang Guifei? What did she do to kill the emperor, what good is it?
Wang Guifei insisted that it was Queen Gao's bad thing as soon as she spoke, and Queen Gao herself hurriedly refuted, but Xue Chongxun before meeting didn't say a word, and she trembled: "King Jin said something." ”
Wang Guifei said coldly: "Everyone has seen it, these two people are wolves, and now they don't even have to cover up." ”
Speaking of Xue Chongxun, the king of Jin, the surrounding ministers were naturally silent, and no one said that he was not; Naturally, no one is bored enough to argue with a woman at such a juncture.
At this moment, Xue Chongxun finally spoke, he raised his head and asked, "Where is the prince?" ”
Li Chenghong, the prince who has no real power, usually no one pays attention to it at all, Xue Chongxun mentioned it, and everyone looked around, but they didn't see where Li Chenghong was.
The ministers suddenly realized that something was wrong, but the prime minister and the others did not have much panic, and still maintained a calm bearing, but just being calm was useful. Cheng Qianli reminded: "Send someone to the Xuanzheng Hall to take a look." ”
Zhang Shuo, who had a horse face, said that he was serious and straightened up, and his face was longer, "Although the prince can bring guards into the palace, he can't bring hundreds of people from the East Palace into the palace, and there are guards everywhere in the palace...... But I'm afraid that there will be collusion with the palace keepers. ”
"It's safe to send someone to take a look." There are also ministers who echo it.
When Wang Guifei heard this, she said angrily: "What do you mean? ”
No one cared about her, and the prime ministers took care of themselves and asked people to go out of the Lin De Hall to see the situation. At this moment, Xue Chongxun suddenly said: "You have to transfer the forbidden army to the king of Qin." ”
Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at Xue Chongxun. Lu Xiang said first: "King Jin Shao'an is not impatient, it is good to see what is going on first, it will make people even more panicked if they are in a hurry." ”
Xue Chongxun looked back at the crowd: "Everyone thinks that the poisoning of His Majesty is caused by us? No matter how stupid Xue is, he can't be stupid to this point, right? ”
Everyone looked at each other, in fact, when several prime ministers discussed sending people out to see the situation, it showed that they didn't believe that Xue Chongxun did it. Some things don't need evidence at all, and people in the center of the long confusion still have a more sensitive sense of smell.
Xue Chongxun sneered: "If it was the crown prince's doing, would he do this first and then reason with everyone and investigate slowly?" If he really wanted to do that...... It's too much to say! I'm afraid that after a while, the sixth rate of the East Palace will enter the Lin De Palace, and at that time, wouldn't it be better to use a knife and a gun to explain the truth?
We didn't transfer the Xuanwu Gate guards into the palace earlier, and when the time came, the sixth rate of the East Palace would be cavalry, and we wouldn't be able to run. ”
The ministers were silent for a moment, and Xue Chongxun said again: "It's not that Xue is afraid of death, but that my mother is still in Chengxiang Palace, and my wife and concubine are still cooking dinner at home and waiting for me to go back to eat...... I can't die! ”
Finally, someone agreed with Xue Chongxun, "The princes are still worried that the transfer of troops by the King of Jin will be unfavorable to everyone?" Why did he want to hurt us? ”
Xue Chongxun nodded: "Now His Majesty is unconscious, as long as the queen comes forward and the government hall agrees, you can use the holy decree to edict the Xuanwu Gate Guards to enter the palace King Qin!" ”
Everyone looked back and saw that there was a five-colored satin on the imperial case on the side of the throne, and it was very convenient to ask for a copy of the holy decree to be written. There is a clear edict handed over, and the generals of the Yulin Army must be called to act, and the commanders of the Yulin Army and the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army are all Taiping old parties.
At this time, Wang Guifei said angrily: "Do you want to falsely preach the holy decree and transfer troops into the palace to rebel!" ”
"Shut up!" Xue Chongxun snorted, which startled Wang Guifei, but he didn't expect this prince to be so rude. However, Xue Chongxun was originally a martial artist, who the hell would talk to you about reasoning and preaching at this time?
Wang Guifei was stunned, stood up, but Xue Chongxun was even more fierce, and he waved his fist in front of him. The eunuchs beside Wang Guifei hurriedly rushed over to block in front of her, and Xue Chongxun burst out: "Get out!" A few of you wolf-hearted things, don't pretend to act here, get out of here! ”
drank two rude and unreasonable words, and suppressed the people of Wang Guifei so that they didn't even have the right to speak. Everyone hurriedly wrote the holy decree, and as soon as the official of the Hanlin Academy lifted the pen, he heard Xue Chongxun urging: "Don't rub it off, just write that there are thieves plotting rebellion in the Lin De Palace, and Chen Dahu, the commander of the Zhao Yulin Army, immediately led the soldiers and horses of his headquarters into the palace King Qin, and anyone who dares to stop it will be killed!" ”
After writing the five-color edict, Xue Chongxun looked left and right, and saw the eunuch Yu Liben standing next to Empress Gao, so he grabbed the edict and handed it over, asking him to rush to Xuanwu Gate immediately and hand over the holy decree to Captain Chen Dahu with his own hands. Xue Chongxun remembered to use this forbidden army general because he felt that this person was more reliable. Chen Dahu and Xue Chongxun have been friends for several years, and they met each other a few years ago when they fought side by side in a polo match, and later when Zhang Wulang was on duty in Xuanwu Gate, he and Xue Chongxun often met and became acquainted. With such a relationship, there is probably no problem with the holy decree stamped with the jade seal.
Only Chen Dahu is enough, and his headquarters has two regiments of 400 cavalry, which is more than enough to deal with the six rates of the East Palace, which has just been selected. According to Xue Chongxun's estimate, at most it was a rebellion in the East Palace, and it was impossible for the forbidden army to participate...... The prince really didn't have the ability to quietly win over the forbidden army in such a short period of time.
The imperial physicians who had just arrived knelt in front of the emperor, one went to take the pulse, and the other opened the emperor's eyelids to see. Lu Xiangxian hurriedly asked, "How is the situation?" ”
"His Majesty has been poisoned by a sudden poison and invaded the meridians, and has ...... Death! ”
"Your Majesty ......" Several ministers immediately burst into tears and immediately fell to the ground. All the people of the temple fell to their knees in haste, as if a strong wind had blown down all the crops in the wheat field.
At this moment, a eunuch hurriedly rushed in with the hem of his long robe and a whisk in his hand, and said with a panicked face: "I found that the people of the East Palace were coming to the west, shouting for King Qin, the voice can be heard, it's almost there!" ”
There was an uproar in the main hall, and everyone was in a mess, crying, shouting, and exclaiming. At this time, he was still as steady as Mount Tai and did not show any alarm, just a few people such as the prime minister of the DPRK and the central government and Xue Chongxun.
The emperor hung up, and everyone was still kneeling in panic, and then Xue Chongxun stood up and said: "Today, there is no warning and suddenly poisoned, and the news comes from the Linde Hall to the east of the nearest Zuoyintai Palace Gate, and then the prince gathers six rates to enter the palace, crossing the Daming Palace to the Linde Palace, how long will it take?" And how much time has it been until the incident? If the prince is the king of Qin after learning the news, he dares to love him as a prophet of immortal invisibility! ”
The ministers were silent, and many of the panicked were at a loss for thought. In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there was Cao's "meat eater despised", which is not bad, and now most of these princes and ministers are stupid like headless flies when they encounter things, and the minds of high-ranking people are only so eary.
"Is it King Qin or rebellion?!" Xue Chongxun burst into a shout and glared back at Wang Guifei. After only one glance, the woman was so frightened that her legs were weak, and she fell down with her head up, but fortunately the eunuchs around her hurriedly supported her.
"King Jin, what should we do now?" Someone asked in a hurry, and the crowd was as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
Someone said: "Close the palace gate and hold it for a while, and wait for the forbidden army to come to the rescue." ”
Cheng Qianli said disdainfully: "How long can this palace gate be blocked, and when the forbidden army is temporarily assembled and transferred from the Xuanwu Gate to the Linde Palace?" ”
Many people were scared, they were all fine before, just now Xue Chongxun said a few words and sat down to confirm that the prince is going to do it brutally, everyone is afraid of being miserable, and the chaotic soldiers are definitely not reasonable, who knows what will happen to their lives?
"Xue Lang......" Empress Gao also looked at Xue Chongxun, looking at him with a pair of panicked beautiful eyes. Many people pinned their hopes on Xue Chongxun, because everyone knew that he had participated in palace coups before and was experienced, and he was a martial artist himself, and he was more reliable than a literati in times of chaos.
Unexpectedly, when Xue Chongxun saw everyone's appearance at this time, he laughed out loud and laughed very happily.
Lu Xiangxian frowned and said, "Why is King Jin laughing at this time? What's so funny! ”
Xue Chongxun then remembered that the emperor was hanging, even if he didn't express sadness, how could he laugh? He suddenly blamed himself for being too carried away...... But it's really too happy, and I can't hold back for a while.
Xue Chongxun hurriedly held back a smile and said seriously: "Laugh with sadness, I should have cried, I'm sorry for the gaffe." ”G
