163, forcing the palace (5)
Just when the emperor had already compromised in his heart, the fire around the dormitory was bursting into flames, and thick smoke poured in through the windows.
"What's going on?" Situ Xiaguang was shocked, Li Jinmin covered his mouth and nose and leaned out of the window to see the situation clearly, but his eyes were wet with smoke, and he said: "Oh no, there is a fire around the dormitory, princess, let's go quickly." β
"Bring your father with you!"
Li Jinmin stepped forward to help the emperor up, and was about to carry the emperor on his back, but outside the window, a black shadow suddenly slapped at Li Jinmin, Li Jinmin subconsciously took two steps back, that is, these two steps, so that the man in black had a chance.
The man in black picked up the emperor and ran to the door, Situ Xiaguang looked bad and stretched out his hand to stop it, who knew that a black-robed man came in outside the door to answer, the black-robed man had already killed all the guards guarding the dormitory, and he was very cunning, guarding the door but not confronting people head-on, but as long as Situ Xiaguang and Li Jinmin wanted to break through the door, he would definitely fan the inferior charcoal placed at the door, so that the billowing smoke would block their way.
It is estimated that the man in black has already taken the emperor away, and the man in black robe continued to fan a wave of smoke before dodging away.
Situ Xiaguang's face turned blue with anger, kicked the charcoal basin at the door, and said coldly: "Chase!" β
At this time, the man in black had already taken the emperor into the imperial study, the man in black was Lu Youzhen, and the black-robed man who responded was Lu Lantian, Lu Lantian transferred all the forbidden troops that could be contacted to the imperial study, and the three layers inside and outside were surrounded by water, and the forbidden army commanded by Lu Lantian was not so easy to break.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you fine, but you are worried about the death of the slave." Hood, who was guarding the imperial study, hurried over as soon as he saw them.
Because of Fu Hongguang's plan at night, Lu Lantian wanted to pretend to be the eunuch around the emperor to lure away the palace people, and Hu Deyong was the chief of the inner house, which eunuch could show off his might to him? If he was led away or not, it would be easy to make Fu Hongguang suspicious, so the emperor gave Hu Deyong a leave of absence and let him escape.
In the imperial study, Lu Lan made arrangements early in the morning, and the imperial doctors in the inner chamber were all there, and they immediately asked the imperial doctors to diagnose the emperor's pulse, and the faces of the imperial doctors were not very good.
"How is the emperor?" Lu Youzhen had already taken off his black clothes, revealing a dark blue regular clothes.
The imperial doctors were reluctant to open this mouth, and in the end, the most senior imperial physician stood up and said: "Back to the Hou Ye, the emperor has worked hard all year round, and the dragon body has been in deficit for a long time, and it happened again tonight...... This kind of thing is a big blow, I'm afraid it will be...... We can only do our best to prolong ......"
"Your Majestyβ"
Hood's crying became more and more poignant, I don't know if it was affected by the atmosphere, Lu Youzhen's eyes were also filled with tears.
"Cry what cry! It's not over yet! As soon as Lu Lantian entered the room, he pulled off his wrapped robe, and his expression was rare and serious.
"How's it going out there?" Lu Youzhen asked.
"The men of my forbidden army are all good, and they will pass safely," Lu Lantian said in a deep voice, "How is the emperor?" β
Lu Youzhen sighed and said, "It's not very good, I don't know how the prince is, if there is any fear that the court will be turbulent......
"Your Majesty! The emperor woke up. Hood shouted with joy, and when he saw the emperor's lips moving slightly, he immediately leaned over to listen, and asked softly, "What did you say, Your Majesty?" β
The voice was too small, and Hu Deyong still didn't hear it clearly, but Lu Youzhen, who came up, understood the emperor's mouth.
He was stunned in disbelief, and repeated softly: "The crown prince and the second and seventh children were killed......"
"How is that possible? Half of the forbidden army followed to Taimiao. Lu Lantian didn't believe it either, but he had to believe it when he looked at the tears that slipped from the corners of the emperor's eyes.
A room full of imperial doctors and chamberlains knelt on the ground, and they didn't dare to gasp.
Is it really going to change?
The sound of swords and soldiers outside became more and more intense, but the two people in the room were a little dumb, the three princes were not only princes to them, but also friends and brothers, did they die like this?
Lu Youzhen took a deep breath and said to Lu Lantian: "The top priority is now," he glanced at the emperor, Lu Lantian understood what he meant, pulled Hu De away and knelt in front of the emperor and said softly: "The emperor, the minister, although the minister doesn't want to say this, but now the emperor has to make plans in advance, the country can't be without a king for a day, please make an order." β
"Please give the emperor's order." Lu Youzhen also agreed.
The emperor looked at Lu Lantian and then at Lu Youzhen, there was no movement, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Lu Lantian kowtowed, and said: "No matter what the emperor's decision is, the minister must be respected, even if he wants to go to Jinzhou, thousands of miles away, to pick up the king of Jin, the minister will do it even if he dies." "King Jin is about the emperor's only remaining son, and he doesn't know the specific circumstances of Taimiao's assassination, so he naturally thinks so.
The emperor shook his head slightly, gathered enough strength and said: "The third child can't fight her, don't ask him to come and die in vain, if I die...... Let King Shen succeed to the throne. β
"Yes, I obey."
The emperor looked at Hu Deyong, probably wanting to raise his hand to give something, but he really didn't have the strength, and finally only moved his fingers. Hu Deyong is worthy of being an old man who has accompanied the emperor for many years, and he quickly understood what the emperor was going to do.
He opened a locked box, which was full of blank decrees, and he took out one and put it on the table, and prepared his pen and ink.
The emperor gave Lu Lantian a look, and Lu Lantian walked to the front of the case and wrote according to the emperor's reading: "...... I reigned for 19 years, and I respected the heavens and the ancestors, and I was able to recuperate and recuperate...... Sleepless nights, sleepless ......"
ββ¦β¦ The younger brother Shenwang Situ Yunzhi has a valuable character......"
"Emperor Qi, Commander Lu, Lord Fu and Master Su are here, and they are here with reinforcements." The little soldier who came in to report the news was still young, and when he saw the reinforcements, he got carried away with joy, and recklessly interrupted the birth of an edict of succession.
Lu Lantian frowned when he looked at the half-written word "young", and he didn't know how to write it again in order to write this character as beautiful as ever.
The atmosphere in the house was not eased by the arrival of reinforcements, but the emperor still stopped dictating the posthumous photo, thinking that he let King Shen succeed to the throne just a last resort, and now that the crisis has turned to safety, it is natural to reconsider.
Seeing this, Lu Lantian stopped writing and silently recalled what kind of person the three princes were in Jinzhou.
Lu Youzhen took people out to pick up his uncle, and the two parties should work together to throw away the armor of the person who killed the eldest princess.
The rescuer brought by Su Wenhai was none other than Jingwei. It turned out that the eldest princess just rebelled against the officers of the third, seventh, eighth, and twelfth battalions of Jingwei, and Wu Anhou, who was really in charge of Jingwei, was the emperor's brother who had played since he was a child, and it was impossible to betray the emperor, Su Wenhai and Lu Youzhen didn't know about this, but Lu Lantian knew it very well, and immediately asked Su Wenhai to take his token to Wu'anhou for help.
And Lu Youzhen, the person brought by Fu Mingxia, couldn't recognize it, the clothes of these people were not the clothes of any army in the country, and his uncle had no intention of introducing them.
Wu Anhou continued to lead people to clean up the remnants and arrest Situ Xiaguang, while Fu Mingxia and Su Wenhai first went to the imperial study with Lu Youzhen to see the emperor.
After the two entered the house, they saluted and pleaded guilty, and the emperor didn't have much strength to pay attention, so he only called to get up.
Looking at the emperor's weak appearance, Fu Ming Xia was sad, but there was something he had to tell him, he could only try to use the gentlest words to say: "...... The Taimiao was shocked to see an assassin ambush, and the crown prince was impaled in the chest in order to protect the Seventh Prince...... On the spot...... The second prince was seriously injured and was found by the ministers, and placed in the hospital of the Tai Hospital to sentence Lord Liu to the house for treatment...... There is no worry about your life, please rest assured. The Seventh Prince was fortunate to be protected by his two elder brothers, and only suffered some minor injuries......"
"What do you say? The second and seventh are not dead? The emperor seemed to suddenly become angry, and the light in his eyes flashed, "I want to see them, I want to see them." β
"Yes, the minister will arrange it." Fu Mingxia couldn't understand the emperor's emotions a little, and only after quietly listening to Lu Youzhen's explanation did he understand, and he sighed for a while.
However, seeing that the emperor's state is no longer as dead as he was just now, it can be regarded as a good thing.
Marquis Wu Anhou came in to confess, and said that he had arrested the eldest princess and the rest of the evils, and asked the emperor how to deal with it.
The emperor's fist was clenched loosely and clenched, and it was really loosened several times, he said: "Remove Situ Xiaguang's title, take back the fief, imprison her for life in the prince's mansion, and recite scriptures for the prince every day to atone for her sins, I don't want to see her again, the rest of the leaders of the rebellious party will be killed, and the rest will be sent to the frontier." β
After disposing of Situ Xiaguang, the emperor remembered the matter of the posthumous photo, and he ordered Lu Lantian to continue writing: "...... The young son Ling, benevolence and filial piety, wisdom and dreams. It is advisable to respect the ancestors and follow the feelings of the group, that is, the emperor's throne...... Tell the world, and make the salty make hear it. β
