160, forcing the palace (2)

Jiaoliu Lane, Lu Youzhen, who was dressed in night clothes, came back in a hurry, and Su Wenhai was just behind him, and he poured himself a cup of warm tea.

"How?" The third prince asked him.

Lu Youzhen shook his head and said, "I went to the Ningguo Mansion, Lu Lantian was not there, I asked his entourage but no one knew where he went." I went to my uncle's place, but he didn't notice anything wrong, and when I told him about it, he said he would go and investigate, and told me not to get involved. ”

"I went to the city gate to see, the guards of the east gate and the west gate were killed, the west gate guards are now the eldest princess's guards, the east gate guards are a bit like the Jing guards, they are more vigilant, I don't dare to get too close, so I can't see it very really. If it is really the eldest prince who wants to force the palace, it is understandable that there is movement in the west gate, after all, the fief of the eldest princess is in the west, and it is convenient for her people to come to the west gate, but the east gate is ...... I'm afraid that if she really said that Jingwei was moved, it would be bad. The third prince also said what he saw and thought.

After a few people returned to Jiaoliu Lane, they discussed it before, and they all felt that the eldest princess was afraid that there was a problem, but there were no real people in this room, so Lu Youzhen went to find Lu Lantian and Fu Mingxia, both of whom were close associates of the emperor, and they could do a lot more than a few of them, especially Lu Lantian also had a part of the power of the forbidden army in his hands.

The third prince went to check the movements of the garrison outside the city, after all, it is not possible to force the palace without an army, in addition to the five cities of the soldiers and horses, there is only the forbidden army, and most of the soldiers and horses of the five cities are some noble sons and daughters who come in to mix their qualifications, which is embarrassing and useful, and the forbidden army is the emperor's personal guard, it is not easy to quietly rebel against them, so it is more prudent to transfer troops from outside the city.

Originally, I thought that the eldest princess was in the fiefdom, and she would come to the capital for many years, she should just buy some people to open the way, and the main force was her protector in the fiefdom.

"Could someone in Beijing help her?" Su Xi asked.

"It's not impossible," Lu Youzhen said, "But now that the palace gate has been keyed, we can't enter the palace gate, and Lu Lantian doesn't know where he went, I asked Lu Feng to look for it where he often goes, but I don't know if I can find it." ”

"And Taimiao," Su Yun suddenly spoke, "Since the eldest princess has done it, she will definitely not let go of the prince of Taimiao, no, I have to tell Qin Yong." ”

"Eh-Fourth sister," Su Xi grabbed her, "The east and west city gates have been controlled by the rebels, and we are not familiar with the guards of the other two city gates, so we don't know their positions, and you will only die if you rush forward." ”

"What then? They are only starting to act now, and if they wait any longer, they will do it," Su Yun looked anxious, "Third brother, you have always had the best way, you must save Qin Yong." ”

"Fourth sister, don't worry, there is still a way." The third prince told her that the pond in the backyard of Su's house in Wutong Lane was actually living water from outside the city, Su Wenhan had good water properties, so he could naturally go outside the city if he walked upstream along the waterway, the problem was that Su Wenhan was white and was not qualified to participate in the palace banquet, so he stayed alone in Wutong Lane at night to celebrate the New Year, naturally he didn't know what was happening here, and someone had to go to Wutong Lane to inform him.

Lu Zhou volunteered to go, but he was a weak scholar, and if he ran into the rebels, he wouldn't be able to run away, and everyone was worried about him going.

Su Yun said that she would still go, and everyone was naturally very worried about her, but when she saw her grab two large kitchen knives from the kitchen, she couldn't say anything to stop her, so she had to tell her to be careful.

On the other side, Fu Shilang's people were already ready to go, Fu Shilang sent his own housekeeper Fu Yu to take a group of people to assassinate the prince, and then brought the seventh prince Situ Ling back by the way, Fu Yu took the order, and disappeared into the night with a flash, it turned out that the old housekeeper of the Fu family was a master, and the rest followed Fu Shilang to the palace gallop.

This road is extremely smooth under the leadership of the black-robed mysterious man, and when he encounters a few patrols, the mysterious man quietly kills them, and walks to the emperor's bedroom, the mysterious man signals them to hide in the dark and wait, and he leads the palace people away first.

Fu Shilang didn't expect his dream to come true so soon, and he couldn't help but feel a little fluttery, but he still kept three points of vigilance, he saw the mysterious man from a distance, wearing a eunuch's costume, looking at the appearance of the little eunuchs and palace maids in the emperor's bedroom.

Fu Shilang suddenly realized in his heart, it turned out that this mysterious person was actually a eunuch beside the emperor, no wonder he could arrange this way properly, but he looked at the familiar back of the person and thought about who this person was, and before he could think clearly, he saw that the mysterious person took all the people in the palace away.

Time is not waiting, Fu Shilang is too lazy to think about it, with a wave of his hand, a group of people rushed to the dormitory lightly, he followed his own people more at ease, he didn't want to and didn't have the strength to kill all the rebels like the emperor back then, so he could only steal the throne in this sneaky way.

It won't be long before the prince is assassinated and dies, the emperor is already seriously ill and then hears the news and it is normal to die under grief, if the second prince is unlucky and killed by the killer, it will save trouble, if he is lucky not to die, he will be stunned, and the emperor has repeatedly punished him for this, and it is not strange that he will skip the second prince and pass the throne to the seventh prince.

Fu Hongguang touched the weak silk cloth in his arms, he had already prepared the holy decree for the emperor, and he only needed to borrow the jade seal to use it.

His subordinates came to tell him that the emperor was the only one in the dormitory and was still in a coma, Fu Hongguang's heart was beating like a drum, trying to suppress his excitement.

He slowly approached the dragon couch and called softly: "Your Majesty? The emperor-" There was no reaction on the couch, Fu Hongguang was completely relieved, he asked people to look around for the jade seal in the dormitory, and the mysterious person told him that the jade seal was placed in the dormitory.

But his subordinates searched for no avail, only the dragon couch had not yet been checked, Fu Hongguang carefully opened the bed curtain, and saw that the emperor was still pale and his eyes were closed, so he began to search for the dragon couch. Sure enough, he found a box wrapped in yellow brocade next to the pillow, Fu Hongguang was overjoyed, and reached out to take it, but he was suddenly caught by a vigorous and powerful hand halfway through.

"What does Fu Aiqing want to do?"

As soon as he heard this familiar voice, Fu Hongguang subconsciously wanted to kneel down and ask for guilt, but after thinking about it, the people in the palace were all his now, and the emperor was sick again, so there was nothing to fear, he waved away the emperor's hand, grabbed the brocade box and held it in his arms.

He suppressed his voice and laughed twice, and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, retribution is not happy." How you got the throne in the first place, now there will be people doing the same thing as you, don't blame me. ”

The emperor was silent for a moment before saying: "I didn't expect you to really come, where am I sorry for you, you wanted to break up me and Ling'er at the beginning, and now you want my life?" ”

"Your Majesty, you are laughing, how dare I break up you and Ling'er, it is obviously the cause that you planted yourself," Fu Hongguang stopped his hand to untie the brocade, and said in detail: "You know that the emperor didn't like you and was afraid of you, but you still disobeyed him, and even eloped, can he be happy?" If it weren't for Ling'er and her sister asking the first prince to intercede, Ling'er would not have married to the Ningguo Mansion but was directly given to death. ”

"As for now," Fu Hongguang paused, "Naturally, it is to glorify the lintel of my Fu family, as long as the seventh prince ascends the throne, I will be the grandfather of the country, and the Fu family will be brilliant in my hands." ”

The emperor asked again: "Seventh prince...... He was also involved? ”

"The Seventh Emperor is benevolent and filial, he can be a beautiful emperor through the ages, how can he get involved in private matters here, so I need Your Majesty's edict." Fu Hongguang took out the forged holy decree in his arms, and smiled proudly, "The remnants of the Banyue Sect appeared in the Taimiao and assassinated the prince, the emperor was angry when he heard that the prince had died, and before he died, he ordered his ministers to write an edict on behalf of the seven princes as the prince, what do you think, Your Majesty?" ”

"Fu Hongguang!" The emperor was furious, slapped the bed and shouted, "I think that for the sake of Ling'er's biological father, I have been tolerant of you again and again, but it has raised your heart. ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister will definitely assist the new emperor well."

Fu Hongguang untied the brocade and picked up the lid of the box, but found that the box was empty, he threw the empty box to the ground in a fit of rage, and asked the emperor: "What's the matter?" What about the jade seal? ”

"Hehehe, you'll never get the jade seal."
