Chapter 68: Coup d'état

At sunset, the west gate of Shura City was opened, and all the staff of Shura City retreated from the east gate. The empty city of Shura was so solemn that even the leaves falling on the ground could be heard clearly. The brightest rays of the remnant sun were gradually swallowed up by the mountains, and the entire Shura City fell silent.

Shortly after nightfall, more than 500 warriors entered from the West Gate, all of them in golden armor, each holding a long shuo and carrying a scimitar at his waist. The five hundred men divided into twenty teams and began to inspect every nook and cranny of Shura City.

A group carrying the royal banner came to the Vimala Cave and saw the witch doctor burning incense and praying to the king of Vimaltasura. The witch doctor kowtowed, and his mouth was full of words. The leading captain of the guard did not dare to disturb the witch doctor's sacrifice, but made sure that there was no one else in the city, and then ordered the team to withdraw from the west gate. Then, the bells and drums outside rang in unison, and the king of the Yue clan led more than fifty female dependents into the west gate. As soon as the group entered, the west gate was immediately closed, and all the guards blocked the door.

This Yue's king is obese, presumably he has eaten too many good things in the Heavenly City, and his brain is full of fat and he looks like a pig's head. Soon after entering the west gate, he motioned for the ladies to wait here, and followed one step at a time until they reached the surrounding grottoes.

The king of this month first walked to the Luo Weiluo Grottoes to take a look, and found that the two stone statues that sealed the Jin people and the edict were intact. Since he became the prince of Baimang, he has been worried about the leakage of news for several days. If the second child knows the truth, it will definitely be fratricidal. Therefore, he must hide the edict well, so he asked the minister Fei Xi to seal the edict in the stone statue. The whereabouts of this edict are only the location of the witch doctor, the general of the heavenly guards, the minister of state, and his own Zhilu Dao, and only he knows the content of the edict. This edict was fine, and he put his mind at ease and went straight to the Vimaltara Grottoes.

At this time, the witch doctor had finished his worship and stood in front of the statue of Vimaladoro. Seeing that the king of the Yue clan had arrived, he pointed to the stone statue with his hand, turned over his palm, and made a downward pressing motion. glanced at the witch doctor, but did not speak, knowing that the witch doctor wanted him to kneel down and worship. The king of the Moon clan moved his fat body, knelt down on his knees in front of the stone statue of Vimaltatra, and began to burn incense and kowtow.

The witch doctor didn't speak, took a handful of lighted wormwood, and began to circle around the king of the Yue clan. The entire worship ceremony lasted for about ten minutes, and then the king of the Yue clan stood up with his hands on his knees.

As soon as he looked up, he suddenly saw that the stone statue of Vimala began to tremble, and then the stone armor began to fall off, and in a short time the Shura inside came out. With two big claws, he poked into the throat of the Yue Clan King, and the Moon Clan King immediately fell to the ground. Looking at the witch doctor again, he suddenly pulled out his scimitar and cut off the head of Vimala Tara with one sword, and the king of Shura also died.

The witch doctor stepped out of the grotto door and whistled towards the east bank of the Styx Bridge. On the other side of the bridge, Mo ran over with a bag of hemp, and when he got to the door, he put the bag down. Reaching out to open it, he lifted out a corpse inside.

The "witch doctor" looked at the corpse in reverse, it was the minister Fei Xi, and this 'witch doctor' was Murda, who had been pretending to be on half a stilt.

Murda took off the wide witch doctor's uniform and put it on the courtier Fei Xi, then drew a dagger and stabbed the deranged witch doctor in the heart. He told Mo Dian to go back to the inn and prepare for the Black Water people to answer, and he went straight to the west gate.

Running to the west gate, Moda saw from a distance that Liu An had already blended into the female dependents. He slowed down, put his hand to his mouth and whistled. Liu An was waiting for this whistle, and she excused herself from the women's team and came to the woods next to the west gate. As soon as he saw Murda, Liu An was ecstatic. But time was urgent, and she didn't have time to explain the ins and outs of last night, so she quickly took out the clothes of a female dependant who had been prepared and handed them to Moda. After Mo Da changed into a veil, he followed Liu An to sneak back into the team. After a long time, it was already the second half of the night. The ladies still didn't see the end of the worship of King Yue, and the crowd began to become restless. The city of Shura was built on the mountainside, and the mountain wind was also very hard. The queen of the clan was too old to stand it, so she ordered a few old and respectful palace maids to go to the Vimala Cave to investigate.

After about a stick of incense, several palace maids crawled back with a rolling belt, and the sound arrived first

"Oh no! Come on! Lao Wang has been assassinated by a witch doctor! ”

When the queen heard this, she was shocked and hurriedly called the three generals outside the west gate. Suddenly, the west gate opened, and five thousand heavenly guards outside the gate rushed in. This celestial guard army is the most elite unit of the Yue clan directly under the king of the Yue clan, and is commanded by three generals of the moon clan. The three generals lived in the Celestial City by hereditary rule, and only accepted the direct control of the King of the Moon Clan, and were absolutely loyal to the King of the Moon Clan and the Great Moon Clan.

As soon as the 5,000-strong army entered the city, they immediately blocked all the main roads and entrances and exits. The three generals were worried that the king's daughters would be frightened, so they hurriedly escorted them out of Shura City first.

Moda and Liu An left Shura City and found a gap to sneak out of the crowd. According to the agreement, the second prince Zang Song has arranged for his cronies to answer in the forest outside the gate of the Heavenly City. Erliang hurriedly took off the clothes of the female dependents, changed into the clothes of the servants in the palace of the second prince of Tianren City, and entered the city with the waist card of Tianren City.

As soon as he entered the city, Moda Liu'an followed Zangsong's cronies and went straight to the Second Prince's Mansion. Zang Song was anxiously pacing back and forth in the main hall, and when he saw Moda Liu'an coming back, he hurriedly rushed up

"How?!"

Moda looked left and right to see that there was no one, and whispered in the ear of Zangsong

"It's done. Prince: No, the king is now waiting for the team that will take you to the throne. ”

Zangsong suddenly collapsed on the wide carpet like a puffed skin. After a while, Zangsong got up and stood firm with the help of Moda. He steadied himself and motioned for Murda and Liu An to follow him into the back hall. The magnificence of this Tianren City really lives up to its name, and the scale of the second prince's mansion alone is as large as dozens of acres of land. They circled around and came to a secret room.

As soon as Zangsong came in, he anxiously asked Moda to tell him what had happened. Hearing this, Zang Song's heart was pounding, and Liu An on the side couldn't believe the adventures of these two nights. When he heard that the king of the Yue clan had died at the hands of Shura, Zang Song let out a long breath, put his hands together and muttered on his mouth

"Father, I hope you will be reborn in the realm of bliss. If the child is not filial, he will definitely do your future affairs in a beautiful way. I must be the king of the Yue Clan, let the Yue Clan be rich in the world, and let the Heavenly City never decline. ”

Meda reminded Tibetan Song

"It is estimated that the person who reads the edict will arrive in a moment. The most important thing now is to be prepared. First of all, secure everyone, friend or foe, and let them acknowledge your throne first. We must give amnesty to the world, so as to gain the support of the people. and then keep all the officials of the old Yue clan king, and even promote the officials to a level, so as to stabilize the court and not chaos. Then the great heroes will be crowned and put Xiao Teh and your usual cronies in important positions, especially the military power and personnel power in their hands. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, everyone will understand. After the most difficult time, you will slowly dispose of the people who threaten your throne, in my opinion, it is the Baimang party. ”

Zangsong nodded

"Ali Bajie, thanks to you. I'll take care of all the relevant matters to you, just say hello to me beforehand. You are not familiar with the affairs of officials, so I asked Short to assist you. Amnesty to the world, I will deal with it myself. Dafeng meritorious hero, you are the first meritorious, and I will immediately entitle you as the Marquis of Xiu Mi Ling, which is the head of the five Marquis of my Dayue clan. Xiao Tefeng is the prime minister, let him do those miscellaneous things with you. The kitchen god is capable of doing things with you, and I think he will be the hundred peasant officials of our Yue's family, in charge of the world's grain, grass and diet. ”

Zang Song looked at Liu An again and asked her

"What did you seal?"

Liu An thought for a while and said

"I don't want anything else, I just want an official who can suppress the Marquis of Xiu Miling."

"Hahaha! That's Mrs. Linghou! Our Yueshi woman is very powerful, and she can be half a family! I said Ali Bajie, such a beautiful person in these six cases, you don't want me? ”

After speaking, he looked at Murda, and Moda knew that he would really pay attention to Liu'an, so he had to agree first. Before a few people could speak thoroughly, someone from outside came in

"Prince, someone has come to the palace. It is said that there is a major change in the palace, and I will teach you to hurry to the front hall to receive the edict. I see that the envoy of this edict is in a hurry, as if something big has happened. ”

After listening to this, Zang Song hurriedly led Moda and Liu An to the front hall. When he saw the envoy, he quickly knelt down. The next thing I heard was the edict that Moda had changed with a bookworm.

When you hear "The crown prince of the Otsuki clan is the second prince!" After hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Zangsong's mouth. Immediately he stood up and addressed the crowd

"Since I am already the king of the Yue clan, then now I will issue my first edict to the king of Tibetan Song: Ali Bajie is the Marquis of Xiu Mi Ling, the six cases are the lady of the Marquis of Ling, the kitchen god is the Bainong official, Xiao Te is the minister of state, and all matters related to the enthronement are arranged by Ali Bajie."

Meda and they quickly knelt down and thanked him.

"Your Majesty, the overall situation is not stable yet. You should quickly send the guards of the Celestial City to your mansion to defend it first, and then let all the generals of the capital city come to your palace to discuss matters. After the last day, you will go to the palace to gather hundreds of officials, mourn for the old king, and celebrate the accession to the throne. ”

"Okay, just listen to the arrangement of Humi Linghou. Go ahead and do the same. ”

The subordinate went out to do errands according to Moda's instructions. After about an hour, Shortt hurried to begin preparing everything as Meda had instructed. It didn't take long for the three generals to come to the Erwang Mansion with five thousand Heavenly City guards, and they all swore allegiance to the new king Zangsong.

After a while, all the generals in the capital were also summoned, and Xiao Teh immediately let the guards take down more than a dozen generals, all of whom were from the eldest prince's party. Seeing that the army was already in control, Zangsong rushed to the palace with Meda and Shot, and the guards. At this time, all the important ministers of the Yue clan in the palace rushed to the palace when they heard the news of the king's death. When they saw the arrival of the new king, they fell to their knees.

In fact, it is not surprising that the throne was passed to Zangsong, originally the old king liked Zangsong very much, and when he was still alive, he always said that he would leave the throne to this handsome second son. It's just that in recent months, it seems to have been indifferent to Tibetan pine, but it's understandable, after all, people have aesthetic fatigue sometimes. The eldest son went deep into the enemy camp, and it was inevitable that he would occasionally think of it when he was a father. As long as their position can be maintained, most people don't care who is the king of the Yue clan. Since the big thing is certain, they have sworn allegiance one after another. It's just that the Marquis of Humi Ling was occupied by this Ali Bajie from a foreign race, which made many people surprised and jealous. Especially the original Marquis Humiling, he has always been a close confidant of Bai Mang, and when he saw that his position was gone, and the throne of the master was also taken away, he drew his knife on the spot and wanted to fight for a high level, but he was thrown to the ground by the guards.

A coup d'état in the palace of the Yue clan came to an end.
