Chapter 109: The Victory Is Divided

The emperor was sick, and Imperial Physician Qian ordered the medicine of the tiger and wolf with the intention of poisoning the emperor.

After some torture, the rebellious minister Qian You finally confessed that the mastermind of poisoning the emperor was Qiu Chulin, the regent of the dynasty.

The government and the opposition were in an uproar, and the officials were shocked.

Not to mention that the regent has been diligent, assisting the new emperor, stabilizing the dynasty, and implementing the new policy in the past two years, repairing water conservancy, benefiting the people, and being praised by the people.

Just the emperor of the dynasty, the only student who has been taught by the regent himself for many years, and the regent's thoughts on the emperor are probably not half a point less than that of the late princess.

Now that the emperor is seriously ill, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a serious disease inherited from the previous emperor, and only the respected Qian Taiyi has been fighting against this evil disease for more than 20 years, and has learned the method of conditioning for a few days with the divine doctor Baizhu.

If someone can solve the urgent need of the emperor's sudden illness, I am afraid that there is only one person in the entire Shuo Chu, Imperial Doctor Qian.

And in the uncle of the fugitive minister Hong Xia Yike, An Guohou Xu Yong took the imperial physician Qian in prison in the name of poisoning the emperor, and the unarmed imperial physician came out of the mouth of the unarmed imperial physician to conspire as the regent.

How convincing is this!

It's a clear rebellion!

As soon as this confession was made public, it caused an uproar in the court.

Marquis An tried his best to suppress the opposition within the court, but to no avail for a long time, until a group of officials and stubborn ministers were executed in the name of the emperor.

At this point, the storm in Chu'an City suddenly rose, and the signs of the activities of the two princes gradually appeared outside the court, and the people in Chu'an City were panicked.

In addition, the regent has been away from the dynasty for a month, and there has been no news so far, and the hundreds of officials in the court have nothing to rely on, and everyone is in danger.

The emperor ordered a rest of the court, forbidding foreign ministers to enter the palace to disturb, and during the recuperation period, the internal affairs of the court were temporarily handled by An Guohou, and all the recitals were sent to An Guohou.

If there is a person who does not comply with the order, regardless of the rank, the Fa will be rectified on the spot.

Tens of thousands of forbidden troops in the palace were all dispatched, armed with spears and short knives, and sealed the inner palace tightly.

On the first day of the decree, more than a dozen people were killed under the forbidden saber.

A few days later, Wang Xun, the commander of the garrison outside the city, fell from a high altitude during the exercise, his right leg was seriously injured, and he took leave to recuperate.

The hundreds of officials in Chu'an City were silent, fearing that they would get into trouble.

In the blink of an eye, the emperor was placed under house arrest and completely cut off from the outside world, and the regent was still completely unheard from.

The ministers with strong hearts can't hold back the thin ice they are walking on every day, and they have the intention of loosening, and many decent ministers have turned to An Guohou in order to protect themselves.

Today, the sun is shining, the wind is smooth, and the month-long depression of Chu'an City has not dissipated in this breeze and warm sun.

Perhaps because of the good weather, the emperor felt refreshed when he woke up in the morning, so he ordered a return to the dynasty.

A spark ignited slightly in the hearts of the hundred officials, and they waited outside the main hall early.

Halfway through the hour, when the legs of the hundred officials waiting outside were stiff, the eunuch in the main hall finally shouted in his thin and long tail voice, "Go to court!" ”

The civil and military officials entered the hall in turn, only to see the emperor being supported by the eunuch to sit on the dragon chair, and to An Guohou stood on top of His Majesty Dan with his hands, condescendingly admiring the old ministers who swayed left and right because of stiff legs.

"Ministers and others see the emperor!" The officials were overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down to worship the emperor.

"All the ministers are calm, the emperor is in poor health, it is inconvenient to speak, and the emperor's meaning is conveyed by this marquis." An Dinghou bowed his hand to Hongxia Yiming, without respect at all.

"Your Majesty." The ministers' hearts were cold, and Xie En got up.

"The emperor is riddled with evil diseases, and his body still needs to recuperate, and he must not work excessively, but the emperor is concerned about political affairs and the people, and insists on coming to the last early dynasty to explain the aftermath to the ministers clearly!" An Guohou paced left and right above His Majesty Dan, with a kind smile on his face.

"Master Hou, what are you talking about! The emperor is just in poor health, and he can recover after a few days of recuperation, so how can he say 'after his death'! The emperor's concubine really couldn't hear Marquis An cursing the emperor like this, so he asked.

"Master Taifu asked a good question, why don't you look up and peek at the sky, and see if he still has the appearance of a real dragon?" An Guohou was not angry, and said with a laugh.

"You...... Yes...... The emperor ......" Taifu raised his head, Hongxia Yiming's pale face as paper suddenly bumped into his eyes, and Taifu Shengsheng took a few steps back.

There was a commotion in the hall.

The first emperor did not have such a weak appearance when he was ill...... Could it be that the emperor really lives soon?

"Your Majesty!" Taifu burst into tears and choked up, "You say something......

Hongxia Yiming's face was a little moved, he seemed to use all his strength to move his lower lip, but he couldn't spit out a word after all.

Tears lingered in his eyes, slowly sliding down the corners of his eyes, Hongxia Yiming's body swayed slightly, like a paper man, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

"The emperor said that Taifu should not be too sad, he will always remember Taifu." Marquis An glanced at the puppet emperor on the throne, and replied to Taifu as if he was understanding.

The old lady cried bitterly, the emperor was the most proud protΓ©gΓ© he taught, how could such a talented and intelligent child suffer such a catastrophe, how could he not feel sorry for him.

"Colleagues, the following words were conveyed by the emperor to the marquis." An Guohou leaned closer to Hongxia Yiming, and turned his ear to the side very seriously, and relayed sentence by sentence, "I am seriously ill, I know that my fate is over, and I can't revert to Shuochu Minfu, I am still young, and I have no heirs under my knees, I am now Zen in the second son of the emperor's brother, if you want to assist my auxiliary imperial brother......"

"Your Majesty, no!" Hundreds of officials knelt down, and the ministers shouted again and again, "The second prince is rebellious and immoral, and he can't bear the responsibility!" ”

"Your Majesty! The second prince is a minister who plots rebellion! Back then, he forced the palace to rebel and killed the first emperor angrily, how could he inherit the unification of such a rebellious son! Wouldn't it make the world laugh! The military general Zhang Yi retorted loudly, and his voice was also choked.

Today's emperor personally went to the barracks to temper himself, endured hardships in the army, and was not ashamed to ask, being kind to others, how could he be a good child......

"Bold! This is the emperor's will! How dare you rebel! An Dinghou said angrily.

Zhang Yi straightened up, raised his arm and pointed at An Dinghou, and said coldly, "You rebellious thief!" It's the emperor you killed! When the regent returns, he will not spare you, and he will make you die a good death! ”

"The regent you rely on will not be able to return." A cold voice with a little laziness and excitement came from behind the dragon chair, "Because he's dead!" ”

It was a voice that all the ministers thought were familiar, but they couldn't remember who the master was.

Hongxia Yike slowly walked out from behind the dragon chair, dressed in a dragon robe, wearing a crown on his head, and a chilling smile on his face.

"Rebels and thieves! How dare you come back! Zhang Yi glared angrily, got up and was about to step forward to capture Hongxia Yike.

There was a commotion in the hall, and Zhang Yi had already stepped on the Dan Majesty, but he heard a familiar voice coming in from outside the hall.

"Really? How did this king not know? ”

Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

The reggent's imposing voice entered the main hall and poured into everyone's ears, and with just one sound, it immediately stabilized the restless hearts of the people in the main hall.

Hongxia Yike and An Guohou glanced at each other, and they both saw the incredulity and uncontrollable panic in each other's eyes.

He...... He...... How did he come back! Why didn't he die in Jinnan! Why didn't the senior brother kill him!

Hongxia Yike's eyes lit up with fireworks like devouring human flesh.

"Qiu Chulin! It's good for you to come back, I think about you day and night, and I can't wait to drink your blood and eat your flesh raw! Hongxia Yike said viciously.

"Then it depends on whether you have the ability to increase in the past two years?" Qiu Chulin had already stepped in from outside the hall, he was calm, with a smile on his face, and in vain he made Baiguan let go of his nervousness for more than a month, "Your senior brother really loves you, how hard did it take to get you out of the prison, why don't you understand his good intentions, and run back privately?" ”

"Qiu Chulin, do you think I'm unprepared?" Hongxia Yike walked down from His Majesty step by step, his eyes were red, "This huge palace, tens of thousands of forbidden troops, are all under my control, and the 200,000 troops outside Chu'an City bow down to me!" Do you think you still have a chance of winning? ”

"Hongxia Yike, you shouldn't come back, Ke Shiying is not saving you, he is harming you." Qiu Chulin said.

Before Qiu Chulin's words fell, a bloody head was thrown into the main hall from outside the hall by everyone, and rolled straight to the feet of Hongxia Yike.

Immediately afterwards, a general in armor stepped inside, with blood dripping from his hands, and everyone looked at it, isn't this the commander of the garrison who broke his leg a few days ago, Wang Xun!

Looking at the head on the ground again, everyone struggled to identify it for a long time, and finally recognized that the person was Feng Bin, the deputy commander of the garrison who succeeded Wang Xun as the temporary commander.

In this way, the victory and defeat have been divided, and the dust has settled.

"Feng Bin is dead, and the 200,000 garrison is back under the control of Commander Wang." Qiu Chulin said lightly, "What about your preparations?" What about the back hand? ”

"I still have the Praetorian Army! It's a big deal, I'll die with this palace! When the head first rolled to his feet, Hongxia Yike recognized the head, and at that moment he also understood very clearly that he was gone, and the only bargaining chip in his hand now was his own brother on the throne.

"Do you still want to deceive yourself?" Qiu Chulin said, "If your forbidden army still listens to you, how did this king come all the way from the palace gate to this hall safe and sound?" ”

"Don't you want to bluff me! I...... I...... I'll kill you! Hongxia Yike shouted and pulled out the saber on his side, flew up from the Dan Majesty steps, and slashed towards Qiu Chulin.

Qiu Chulin did not draw his sword, but countered it with the scabbard, the blade of the sword drew a line of sparks on the scabbard, Qiu Chulin's wrist turned slightly, leaned backwards, and slid past Hongxia Yike's sword.

When he stabilized his body, Hongxia Yike was splitting the bluestone slab on the ground, and the rubble was splashed everywhere, and an intact floor tile was destroyed beyond recognition under his hands.

"Qiu Chulin, if you move again, I will kill him immediately!" Before Qiu Chulin could make any more moves, An Guohou shouted from above His Majesty Dan behind him.

At this moment, An Guohou was holding a sword in his hand, and the blade of the sword was resting on Hongxia Yiming's neck.

The corners of Qiu Chulin's lips raised slightly, as if he didn't take An Guohou's threat to heart, he kicked on the ground, drew his sword and attacked straight at Hongxia Yike.

At the same time, the little eunuch who had been supporting Hongxia Yiming suddenly moved, and a dagger suddenly stretched out from his sleeve and plunged straight into An Guohou's heart.
