Chapter 42: The Appearance of King Duan
King Duan and Queen Mother?! Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Ye Gucheng, who felt that the overall situation had been decided, and the southeast prince and others had a trace of panic in their eyes.
Among these two people, the Queen Mother is a little better, although she is a mother in the world, she is only a woman. has the right to intervene in certain political affairs, but the root of the power still lies in the late emperor, that is, although she was raised from childhood to adulthood, although she is not her own son, it is better than her own son.
Now that her son, who seems to be her own, is dead, even if she just wants to stir up some waves, someone must listen.
But King Duan is different, you must know that this prince is the brother of the emperor today, and he was a strong contender for the throne back then. If it weren't for the late emperor's holding of the title of eldest heir, it is still unknown who will die.
Therefore, when everyone heard Xie Feihong say that there was an invitation to King Duan, panic flashed in the eyes of Ye Gucheng and the others, and those who were already ready to express their stance also fell into indifference.
"Brother Huang! The Lone King...... It's too late! As soon as King Duan appeared in front of everyone, he choked up directly. It was as if he had an incomparably deep relationship with the late emperor.
This is an actor!
Everyone looked grief-stricken, and Duan Wang, who was crying heartbreakingly, commented.
When there is anyone today who doesn't know that the deceased today's saint wants to kill the person in front of him the most, he didn't see that as soon as he ascended the throne, he directly went down to all the military power in the hands of King Duan, and then ascended and descended secretly, and directly sealed a fief near the capital to the other party, nominally as a fan, but in fact it was under house arrest.
It's been three years!
Even today, if it weren't mentioned by Xie Feihong, many people would have forgotten that there is such a brother who was once able to fight well.
Of course, in fact, the late emperor did not think of directly erasing King Duan once and for all, completely and directly erasing King Duan physically.
However, King Duan had a reputation in the army, and if the late emperor attacked him, it was likely to cause unrest in the army.
And because Duanwang's mother and today's biological mother, Empress Wende, both died early, so both of them happened to be raised by the queen mother who has no children under her knees, so even if it is for filial piety, the late today must think carefully.
Of course, there is also the most important one, that is, the late seems to be powerful today, but there are still several feudal towns in the country with heavy power and heavy troops, and these feudal towns are all controlled by the imperial family. Just like the father of the prince of the southeast, the king of the southeast. Once you attack the king of Duan, it is difficult to guarantee that others will not think about it.
So the deceased now plans to wait for things to completely cool down, until the world can no longer remember that there is such a prince, and then slowly concoct the other party.
But he didn't expect that before he had time to attack King Duan, he died on the top of the Forbidden City first.
"Mother, what's wrong with you? It doesn't matter to you, Queen Mother! "Duanwang is fake grief, or that although he has an element of grief, it is still within the controllable range. But today's Queen Mother is really sad, after all, she and the deceased are not biological, but they are better than biological.
So after seeing the corpse of the current emperor, he could no longer hold back the grief in his heart and fainted directly.
Maybe there is still something on the mind, or maybe it is the role of King Duan's pinching. Therefore, after a while, the Queen Mother woke up again and again, staring at Ye Gucheng, who was standing proudly in the center of the scene, and the southeast prince and others with panicked faces.
Originally, the Queen Mother was afraid that after the matter of King Duan coming to Beijing to find her without permission was exposed, it would be difficult to explain, even if King Duan came to report that someone was going to assassinate the emperor.
And to be honest, when Duan Wang reported to him, the Queen Mother was also suspicious, after all, under the protection of many masters in the interior, how to hear how to hear and kill the king is incredible. However, she still couldn't stand the pleading of this son who she watched grow up, so she rushed to hide in the emperor's bedroom under his arrangement.
Since the queen mother arrived, the emperor's side was basically decided, so he did not show up. After seeing that the emperor was completely safe in a hidden place, she planned to go back to the dormitory, after all, she also knew that the emperor really didn't want to see King Duan.
But what she never expected was that the reversal of victory and defeat would be so sudden, and the current emperor, who had just won the game, fell in a pool of blood in the blink of an eye, so that she didn't even have time to react!
With red eyes, she glanced at the corpse of the emperor who had been corrupted by most of them, and the queen mother gritted her teeth at Ye Gucheng and the others: "What a group of chaotic ministers and thieves!" What a prince of the southeast!! What a Ye Gucheng!! ”
"Queen Mother, take care of your body," King Duan on the side saw that the Queen Mother still showed signs of fainting, so he hurriedly relieved on the side.
"Take care?!" The Queen Mother looked at the son beside her with red eyes, and said fiercely: "You'an, I don't care if this matter has anything to do with you or not, I only need one thing, that is, I will give me all these rebellious ministers and thieves who murder the monarch and plot rebellion!" To pay tribute to the spirit of the emperor in heaven who has suffered my life! Do you understand! ”
Being able to stand out in such a sinister place as the harem and finally become the mother of a country, the Queen Mother is naturally not an easy person. How could she not see that her other son was probably playing a disgraceful role in this.
It's just that with her understanding of her son, even if he does anything in it, I'm afraid he will already wipe the tail of his hand clean. Second, she has already lost one son, and naturally she does not want to lose another son, although neither of these two sons is her own.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother," Duan Wang said solemnly, "the fate of these rebellious ministers and thieves was already sealed when they decided to do something wrong!" ”
After speaking, King Duan entrusted the Queen Mother to the leader of the eunuch guards on the side, and then walked through the encirclement of a large number of guards, came to Xie Feihong's side, and said solemnly to the large guards: "King Lone, you must all know each other, so I won't say anything superfluous." I'll give you a chance to take down these rebels. If you protect unfavorable things, the lone king can be lightly punished and spare your lives! ”
According to the thinking of ordinary people, I am afraid that they will make heavy promises to the inner guards to ensure that these living forces will not fall to each other. But Duanwang didn't do this, but everyone didn't show any surprised expressions, because this is Duanwang!
And how to say it? Although King Duan did not promise heavy profits like the prince of the southeast, but on the contrary, his promise was more credible than that of the prince of the southeast, and what Ye Gucheng did just now was really unpopular, so everyone involuntarily leaned in the direction of the king of Duan.
And everyone's performance quickly appeared on their expressions, which made the prince of the southeast Wang Shizi anxious, and couldn't help but look in the direction of his master Ye Gucheng. Although he didn't say anything, the meaning was very clear, that is, he hoped that Ye Gucheng could make another move and cut the variable in front of him again!
Looking at the pleading gaze of the prince of the southeast, Ye Gucheng couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. He didn't want to kill the other party, but from the moment King Duan appeared, the qi on the body of Xie Feihong, the young owner of the Divine Sword Villa who pressed on the hilt of the sword with one hand, had been locked on his body.
Ye Gucheng believes that as long as he dares to make a move, he will be greeted by a knife that seems to be able to cut everything off and kill him!
To be honest, even today, Ye Gucheng doesn't have much confidence in Xie Feihong's knife!
