Queen Zhen didn't have the slightest sadness, she hooked the corners of her mouth, and said: "Xiangye, the emperor died, there are many complicated things to take care of in the palace and the court, Xiangye can't go back to the house these days, but Xiangye don't worry, there will still be someone in your house to take care of." ”

Gu Chengxiang's face was calm, knowing that the lives of himself and his family were still in the hands of Queen Zhen, since he had chosen this path, he would definitely cooperate to the end.

"Mother, please rest assured." Prime Minister Gu Cheng arched his hand and said.

Empress Zhen heard the assurance, and only then turned around and went out to announce that Emperor Qiwu had died.

Suddenly, the sound of the palace wailing continued, but how many people really cried for Emperor Qiwu?

First, she asked her son to enter the palace, and then remembered the group of women in the harem, Queen Zhen squinted her eyes and said: "Pass the order, before the emperor died, he pointed out the martyrdom of the harem concubines, Gonggong An, this matter will be left to you." ”

The first thing she thought of was Zhao Siya.

As soon as this person entered the palace, he became a noble concubine, and he was honored in the six palaces, just like the sun of the day, no one was in his eyes, and he didn't go to greet her more.

There are other concubines Zhen, Concubine Wan and Concubine Qi, all of whom are old people from the Prince's Mansion, and they have always added to their own blockages.

Fortunately, Emperor Qiwu was not able to conceive a son and a half daughter, and if he wanted them to be buried, those ministers could not say anything to refute them.

An Sheng's eyes moved slightly, and he was ordered to do it.

When Prime Minister Gu heard this, he hurriedly stopped: "Queen Mother, you don't have to do it so much, right?" ”

There are dozens of concubines in the harem, all of whom were martyred, how many lives are there!

Queen Zhen was displeased, raised her eyebrows and said: "Xiangye, this is what the emperor said before he died, even Gonggong An heard it, is Xiangye going to disobey the emperor's last orders?" ”

Prime Minister Gu was so angry in his heart that no matter how bastard Emperor Qiwu was, he would never say such a thing!

It is clear that Queen Zhen has a grudge against the harem concubines, so she must kill them all, and the Great Apocalypse has been established for a hundred years, and no emperor has ever had the will to be martyred.

But An Sheng is now on the side of Queen Zhen, and Prime Minister Gu Cheng only has the strength of one person, how can he resist.

Then, he could only say: "There were more than a dozen show girls who entered the palace before, except for Zhao Guifei, all of them did not have a bed, and they were not given positions, they are not harem concubines, so it is better to send them out of the palace and find another person." ”

That's all he can do.

Queen Zhen is reluctant, she is almost the queen mother, can't she even ask for the lives of these more than ten show girls?

An Sheng was a little smarter, and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, those show girls are all from the courtiers' families, if it is convenient, it will be of great benefit to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Before the edict was issued, An Sheng had already called out His Royal Highness the Prince, and Queen Zhen was overjoyed when she heard this title.

She glanced at An Sheng gratefully, fortunately he reminded herself, otherwise she would really make an enemy for her son.

Therefore, she ordered the show girls who were not sleeping to be sent out of the palace, and as for Zhao Siya, she must be dead.

宫中动荡，启武帝的后事还未处理好，顾丞相就在朝堂上宣读了遗诏。

The ministers looked at each other, although they were a little confused and unconvinced, but Emperor Qiwu saw Prime Minister Gu Cheng before his death, and with Prime Minister Gu Cheng as a guarantee, can this matter be fake?

Although the enthronement ceremony had not yet been held, the ministers still shouted long live the emperor to Chu Chengxian.

Chu Chengxian sat on the coveted red gold dragon seat, he was happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud, after all, Emperor Qiwu had just died two days ago, how could he, as a son of man, not pretend to be sad.

The concubines were all killed and transported to the imperial tomb for the burial of Emperor Qiwu, and the palace has not been so quiet for so many years.

Because Emperor Qiwu has few heirs, there are few people in front of the emperor's mourning hall, in addition to Queen Zhen's mother and son, there is also a third princess. The rest of the crying and crying are all palace maids.

After kneeling for a long time, when he rested for a while, Dingyuan Hou came.

In the past few days, there have been great changes in Beijing, and he has a lot of things to deal with, but he has ignored one person.

"The emperor died, King Ling has not shown up until now, it stands to reason that when the death knell sounds, he should enter the palace!" Dingyuan Hou had a sinister look on his face, which made people shudder.

There were palace maids rubbing their knees for their mother and daughter, respectful and cautious.

are all confidants, and Queen Zhen is not shy of speaking anymore, and said, "Yes! Hongu was so busy that he didn't even notice this! Something so big happened, why didn't he show up? ”

thought that in this competition, Chu Jifeng was a key figure, but later with Ansheng's refuge and cooperation, the Zhen family did not count on Chu Jifeng, and wanted to find an opportunity to eradicate people, and then get the spy network in his hand.

After all, the Marquis of Dingyuan still resented Chu Jifeng for robbing his gold mine.

Now that the situation has stabilized, they finally think of Chu Jifeng.

"It's him!" After thinking about it carefully, Dingyuan Hou already understood, "Five days ago, I added Tianshan ginseng to the wine to test him, but the spy reported that he walked back to the Moon Garden without incident. Now it seems that the pith in his body must have had an attack, so he has not been able to show up! ”

He was annoyed, how could he relax his vigilance against Chu Jifeng, Chu Jifeng was a big fox!

Chu Chengxian couldn't help but be shocked: "The person who assassinated his father back then, was he really him?" ”

After all, the imperial doctor took Chu Jifeng's pulse many times, but he didn't diagnose anything.

He was puzzled, and said, "Could this be a game of King Ling?" Just waiting for us to take the bait? ”

Chu Jifeng's notoriety was not for nothing, Chu Chengxian had a little palpitations, and subconsciously still didn't want to fight with Chu Jifeng.

"What about the bureau?" The Marquis of Dingyuan let out a sneer, very arrogant and disdainful, "You are the new king of the Great Apocalypse as you are destined to return today, can he still think about it?" ”

Empress Zhen also couldn't get used to Chu Jifeng, and nodded: "What your grandfather said is that the emperor died, and he didn't appear in front of the mourning hall, he is already disloyal and unfilial, and he can be arrested and questioned!" Whether he's really sick or set up a game, it's a good time for us to get rid of him! ”

"Niangniang, please rest assured, Weichen will go immediately!" Marquis Dingyuan took two steps, suddenly remembered something, turned back and waved his hand at Chu Chengxian and said, "Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give an order, let Weichen take the Praetorian Guards to invite King Ling into the palace to ask for guilt!" ”

Chu Chengxian sneered in his heart, thinking that it would be better to let his grandfather sit on this throne, anyway, he couldn't intervene, let alone have real power.

Thinking like this, Chu Chengxian nodded: "Let the Great Commander assist my grandfather in arresting people!" ”

"Yes!" Marquis Dingyuan answered, walked out without saluting, and didn't regard himself as a courtier at all.

Chu Chengxian's face was cold, and his fists were slowly clenched.

Empress Zhen saw her son's displeasure and said in a low voice: "Xian'er, in this matter, your grandfather has made a lot of efforts, you should take care of it more." ”
