The third prince looked at him suspiciously, feeling that the mockery in his tone was particularly harsh. He didn't understand why Lou Zhan could still be so calm at this point. Maybe this is just the bearing of Lou Zhan Tai who collapsed in front of him and did not change his face. But he still couldn't convince himself.

Could it be that Lou Zhan still has any hole cards that he hasn't noticed?

"I guess your grandfather's army has been controlled outside the city by my soldiers." Lou Zhan looked at the other party sympathetically, "You are planning to usurp the throne, but in the end it is just a void." ”

"No, it's impossible, where did you come from?" The three princes were shocked.

Lou Zhan put his hands behind his back and looked at the shining star in the dark night: "The emperor once ordered me to go to the northern frontier, although I was a little injured, my soldiers are intact. ”

As if to confirm his words, the sound of horses' hooves mixed with footsteps came from not far away, and the people who came held military flags and shouted loudly: "The third prince and the sixth prince are forcing the prince of the palace, and General Lou is ordered to arrest the traitor!" For a moment, these soldiers were in a no-man's land.

The three princes, who were originally suspicious, completely believed it now.

"It turns out that my father has already planned ......" The third prince's tone was grim, and suddenly his sleeves shook, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and finally a line of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, staring at the coffin in the palace, "It's a pity that the prince he was protecting in his heart is still dead!" He laughed again.

No one expected that the third prince suddenly put his sword across his neck and slashed it hard, blood gushing out.

"Ho Ho ......" until he died, he still smiled desperately, and the smile was very poignant, and the tears in the corners of his eyes appeared on his thin and handsome face. He laughed and stretched out his hand, his eyes red as if they were about to burst, and at the same time, he fell to the ground and died.

But only for a moment.

"Third brother!" The sixth prince was very frightened, and his trembling hand touched the neck of the third prince.

Deputy General Wei rushed over, dismounted first and bowed to Lou Zhan with a talisman in his hand: "General, the end will be late, please forgive me." ”

As soon as these soldiers arrived, they not only controlled all the people of the third prince and the sixth prince, but also blocked Ye Min's people.

As soon as Ye Min wanted to make a move, he saw Bai Yirong looking at him with a complicated look. He immediately read the meaning, and couldn't help but hesitate.

Lou Zhan helped Deputy General Wei up, took the half of the talisman in his hand, and turned to bow solemnly to Hongying.

Hongying was puzzled, "General Lou, what are you doing here?" Vaguely, she guessed something.

He handed the talisman to himself, and the meaning was simple and clear.

But she is a woman, how can she ......

"Eldest princess, the crown prince is dead, no one in this world can take on this heavy responsibility, I see the princess as smart and wise, far-sighted, and able to fight well, and she will definitely become a Ming Jun in the future!" Lou Zhan's words are full of respect.

Bai Yirong and Ye Min were both shocked by his actions, it turned out that Lou Zhan still had such a deep thought. As a courtier, he has such a layer of responsibility, which cannot be shirked and unavoidable, let alone in this situation.

The responsibility of the family and the country is not related to men and women.

And I have to say that Lou Zhan made a reasonable choice.

"Don't mention it again, I'm just a woman, if you can't bear it, take it back." Hongying finally frowned and refused. She naturally understands that the country cannot be without a king for a day, but she is a woman, and there has never been a precedent for a woman to ascend the throne and become the emperor.

Lou Zhan was even more determined: "Princess, please think about the people of Dayan, and also think about the painstaking efforts of the emperor, Dayan needs you!" ”

Bai Yirong knelt beside Lou Zhan and said, "Princess, if you really feel that you are not capable enough, it is better to be regent for three years first, and then it is really not possible, and there is enough time to find capable people." ”

These words made Lou Zhan and Hongying's eyes light up, it was indeed a good way.

Lou Zhan: "Princess, Yirong is right. ”

Seeing the two begging her bitterly, Hongying was in a dilemma, but she had to agree due to the situation: "Okay, I promise you, get up." ”

As soon as he took over the talisman, Hongying snorted coldly: "Lou Zhan listens to the order!" ”

Lou Zhan clenched his fists: "The minister is here." ”

"Arrest Ye Min and the other traitors!"

Ye Min: "......"

......

A tense and chaotic evening is finally over.

At present, the most important thing is to bury the old emperor, and then Hongying will ascend the throne, and finally have time to deal with those who rebel.

The first emperor died, the whole country mourned, and the palace fasted for 7749 days. The folk roads are lined with white linen cloth, which flutters in the wind. The whole country was immersed in a solemn atmosphere.

The General's Mansion is extremely lively.

The original old housekeeper went due to illness, and Yirong personally invited another one. The housekeeper bought maids and maidservants from Renyazi and assigned tasks to them, so the silent general's mansion became vibrant.

Bai Yirong was talking to her grandmother, that is, her grandmother who had served her mother, about the previous dynasty; Lou Zhan entertained the visiting civil and military officials in the flower hall and discussed the matter of the empress's accession to the throne.

In the blink of an eye, it was getting late, except for the ceremonial official and Prince Shun and others who were still here, everyone else left one after another.

At this moment, the housekeeper came to report: "General, a man and a woman outside the door say that the old man of the lady is visiting." ”

Lou Zhan, please come in.

It was Bai Wenyun and Leng Qing.

Bai Wenyun was about to speak, but Lou Zhan said, "Your sister is in the backyard." ”

Leng Qing wanted to follow Bai Wenyun to the backyard, so he heard Prince Shun say, "Manjing, are you back?" Prince Shun stood up, with some guilt on his face: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." With that, he sighed and sat down again.

Leng Qing had no choice but to say: "I've seen my father, my daughter still has something to do, so I'll leave first." ”

There was a moment of silence.

Lou Zhan broke the situation: "The details of the empress's accession to the throne have been almost discussed, if you don't dislike it, it's better for a few adults and a few princes to stay for dinner." ”

It really means it's time for you to go back.

Of course, no one was uninteresting, and several adults hurriedly stood up, and the entourage around them also packed up their things.

"Hehe, General, I'm leaving, Madame is still waiting for me to go home."

"Me too."

"Me too."

Lou Zhan hugged his fists: "Go slowly, don't send it." ”

The butler led the way in front: "Adults, please." ”

On the day the empress ascended the throne, it rained lightly.

The red tassel wears a gown and a tiara. However, in order to distinguish it from the previous emperors, the gon clothes worn by Hongying have been changed a little, which is more suitable for women.

On the main hall, hundreds of civil and military officials shouted long live.

On the throne, the empress slowly told her ascension to the throne and her thoughts on the future of Great Yan. Then I talked about Lou Zhan.

"I have come to this point today thanks to Lou Zhan's ......" After speaking, the ceremonial official issued a decree to seal Lou Zhan as the Duke of Dingguo, and rewarded countless people.

Lou Zhan bowed down and bowed: "Your Majesty Empress Xie." ”

In the end, the empress announced that she would personally conquer the northern frontier to appease the people. And before that, she has to select talents from the cold family to assist her in managing the Great Yan.

At this point, this battle for success and defeat has finally completely stopped.

After the rain, Bai Yirong was waiting in front of the general's mansion with the maid. Before leaving, she and Lou Zhan said that they would come back for dinner together, but who knew that he hadn't come back before noon, so she couldn't help but speculate in her heart.

Until a line of carriages stopped in front of the door.

Lou Zhan got down from the carriage, his cold and hard face was like a spring breeze, and he held his wife's wrist: "Yirong, wait a long time." ”

Bai Yirong shook her head lightly and leaned into his arms.

"No, the hour is just right."
