The queen said unhurriedly: "At that time, it was the crown prince and the king of Qi who were in charge of the country, and they came up with a plan to sneak attack Youzhou, but they didn't tell the palace in time, how could the palace remind them?" ”

Lin Chengyong was angry for a while.

"Then, then you know that the Heqin mission is going to set off, and you can also send someone to chase after you!"

"Hmph, the crown prince and King Qi didn't see the palace at all in those two days, how can I advise, plus the queen mother died suddenly, no one expected it."

Lin Chengyong was speechless, but he didn't expect the queen to push it cleanly.

Gao Taiwei hated and said: "The harmony of the big bird country is a delaying tactic, we were fooled, the second prince Ye Leyu and the fourth prince Ye Lejin are both in Youzhou, they secretly set a trap to lure His Royal Highness King Sui, and then His Royal Highness sent a sneak attack signal to Tong Dashuai, and as a result, the whole army was wiped out, and even His Royal Highness and Tong Dashuai were martyred!" ”

When they heard that King Sui had been killed, everyone was shocked.

"What, King Sui, he has been martyred?"

"Yes, the old minister saw it with his own eyes at the head of Youzhou City, he, he was sacrificed to the flag with a guillotine by Ye Leyan!"

Mrs. Gao wiped the corners of his eyes as he spoke, looking grief-stricken.

Taiwei Gao had already told Lin Chengyong about this matter last night, but Lin Chengyong still shed tears when he heard it again.

The queen asked again.

"And how did you get back?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Sui suffered an accident, the old minister was caught by Ye Le's people, and he was supposed to be killed, but he felt that he had to warn Da Wei not to use troops against Youzhou again, so he left the minister with an old life, let me come back to deliver the letter, alas, the old minister had no face to come back to face the king!"

Speaking of this, Captain Gao squeezed out a few more crocodile tears.

"What about the letter, what is written?"

"This is a letter written by the second prince of the Great Bird Country to His Majesty, and the old minister does not dare to peep privately."

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.

The queen took it from behind the beaded curtain, the letter had not yet been opened, she tore off the seal and opened it, sneering as she looked at it.

"The big bird has destroyed the country, and he still dares to show off his might, he really doesn't know whether he is alive or dead!"

After reading it, the queen threw the letter on the ground, Lin Chengyong bent down to pick it up, he read it again, and his body trembled slightly with anger.

Ye Leyu said in the letter that Da Wei was vulnerable, and a mere eunuch dared to lead the troops to fight, and he said that defeating Da Kong's army was like crushing an ant to death, and persuaded the emperor of Da Wei to stay in the palace honestly and not send people to die!

At this time, Huang Jien sent a message outside the door: "Queen Qiqi, Lord Sikong has arrived." ”

"Okay, just in time, invite him in!"

Taiwei Gao sneered in his heart, Sikong Man had arrived early, and he had to appear at a critical moment.

Seeing Sikong Man walk into the hall and salute the queen, he immediately looked surprised when he saw Taiwei Gao.

"Lord Captain, when did you come back?"

Mrs. Gao said with a fake smile: "I only came back last night, and I almost lost my life outside." ”

"Sikong-sama, you're just in time!"

Lin Chengyong handed the letter over.

"This is a letter from the second prince of the Great Bird Country, Ye Le, what is the opinion of Lord Sikong?"

Sikong Man snorted after reading the letter.

"Ignorant son, the big bird country is dead, he is a grasshopper after the autumn can't jump for a few days!"

Lin Chengyong held the guard board in his hand and said hatefully: "Since Lord Sikong has also arrived, then we are just discussing the right matter!" ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Outsiders bullying my Dawei, is it tolerable or unbearable, since Your Majesty is hard to get rid of, you must immediately take the throne as a new king, and the country cannot be without a king for a day!"

As soon as Lin Chengyong spoke, Taiwei Gao immediately agreed.

"Yes, as soon as the old minister came back, he heard that the crown prince, King Lu and King Jing were all detained, what kind of crime did they commit and should be treated like this?"

Sikong Man glanced at Lin Chengyong and spoke slowly.

"As soon as the Queen Mother left, the three of them grabbed power and led people to forcibly break into the forbidden land of the palace, this is not a great crime against the sky, about the matter of establishing a prince, the old minister also has this intention!"

Lin Chengyong was stunned.

"The crown prince is still here, how can he set up a new king?"

"The prince has made a big mistake and deserves to be deposed!"

Sikong stared at Lin Chengyong and did not back down.

"If you want to abolish the prince, what crime?"

Lin Chengyong almost jumped up, last time they had already discussed the abolition of the prince, and when Taiwei Gao came back today, he thought that the queen would be restrained, but who knew that she still insisted on going her own way.

"The prince has three major crimes, first, he led people to break into the forbidden palace in an attempt to seize power, second, he secretly colluded with the concubines in the palace, trying to cooperate with the outside, and third, he disregarded family affection and killed each other, and he made a big mistake before and was banned by the emperor in the East Palace, but he didn't know how to restrain and still do whatever he wanted!"

"Lord Sikong, what you said is very wrong, the prince is the prince, only someone else takes him, who is he going to seize power with, the queen mother died, Your Majesty has not woken up, is it that with his respect as the prince, he can't enter the palace to watch, besides, he and King Qi are still the queen mother's widow to supervise the country!"

"Of course you can, but isn't there an attempt for him to bring so many people!"

"Okay, even if the prince's behavior is excessive, you say that he colluded with the concubines in the palace, which concubine is it, is there any evidence?"

Sikong Man looked at Prince Dongping, and Prince Dongping hesitated.

"Zongzheng Mansion has investigated this matter, Concubine Duan and the prince do have dealings, according to Concubine Duan's maid Rudong, they have colluded to try to take the forbidden palace in one fell swoop."

"Nonsense, a palace maid, who knows if she deliberately planted it, her testimony is not fully believed, what is the identity of the prince, how can a palace maid's confession be deposed!"

Prince Dongping was silent, he didn't want to wade into troubled waters.

Lin Chengyong was a little anxious, he still wanted to fight again, but Taiwei Gao pulled his sleeve, if the queen was forced to be anxious, they were still in the palace, and there was no Dali Temple and forbidden army in the palace.

At this time, the queen lightly opened her lips.

"The eighteenth prince Zhao Zhen is very intelligent, has both ability and political integrity, and is a suitable candidate, what do the four princes think?"

Lin Chengyong shook his head again and again.

"No, no, the prince is not abolished, and a new monarch cannot be established!"

"Yes, the old minister is also against it!"

Taiwei Gao said and looked at Prince Dongping.

According to the rules of Dawei, the draft edict must be signed by three ministers, these three people are Sikong Man, Gao Taiwei and Lin Chengyong, if one of the three is not there, then Prince Dongping can replace him, that is to say, Prince Dongping is the fourth choice, his attitude is also important at the critical moment, and now he opposes the queen can not establish Zhaozhen as the prince.

Prince Dongping hesitated for a moment and said, "This, and King Qi, is King Xin too much?" When he said this, it was tantamount to agreeing to abolish the prince, and Lin Chengyong couldn't wait to go up and punch him.

Sure enough, the queen nodded and said: "This palace has long thought of King Qi, since you all agree to abolish the prince, choose one of the two kings of Xin and King Qi, King Qi was in charge of the country with the prince some time ago, and he is still capable, but he is weak and sick and needs to be raised, Lord Sikong has prepared the edict, please sign it." ”

Huang Jien stepped forward with a plate and a yellow edict inside.

Lin Chengyong picked it up and took a look, it was written that the prince was abolished, King Lu and King Jing were disposed of, Li Zhaozhen was the prince, and King Qi and King Yi were alternates, and there were Sikong Man's signatures below.

Obviously, this edict has already been prepared, just waiting for them to sign it, Lin Chengyong immediately said angrily: "I won't sign it, who agrees to abolish the crown prince, I and Lord Taiwei don't agree, Prince Dongping, do you agree?" ”

It was an edict drafted in the name of the emperor and issued with the signatures of two of the three ministers, as the jade seal was now in the hands of the empress.

Prince Dongping hesitated and didn't answer for a while, he was not qualified to sign this edict for such a major decision as deciding to establish a prince, but he was a prince and could participate and express his attitude, and his attitude was very important.

Sikong Man looked displeased.

"Lord Lin, why are you asking so much, Prince Dongping is unwilling to support you, do you want to force him!"

"Abolishing the prince is shaking the country's foundation, I firmly disagree!"

Sikong Man smiled, with a look of sarcasm on his face.

"It turns out that Lord Lin really supports the crown prince."

The queen spread her hands.

"Lord Lin said this, but the palace is embarrassed, if the prince is not abolished, the new monarch cannot be determined, the four adults are here today, isn't it because the country cannot be without a king for a day?"!
