Chapter 35 Palace Changes
In addition to the meal time in the side hall to rest for a while, the rest of the time, are kneeling in front of the light of the Holy Emperor's couch, the time of filial piety is over, the light of the Holy Emperor was removed to the dragon coffin, by the Ministry of Rites to take care of the burial, coffin and other matters, the eighth day of October, down from the waterway, the Holy Emperor of Light was placed in the northwest of the imperial tomb in the tomb, said: Compassion for the Emperor Guang, Concubine De posthumously sealed the concubine Zhenlie, buried on the right side of the tomb.
After the funeral, the choice of the new monarch was imminent, the ministers in the Xuande Hall were arguing, and the bloody wind in the inner palace slowly kicked off.
"Mother, do you want to do it?" Cuilan was close to the queen's ear, and she was vigilant.
The queen straightened her cuffs and said, "Today, the princes can leave the palace and tell the archers to prepare, as soon as people appear, shoot them immediately!"
"Slave and maid, let's do it."
The queen changed into plain clothes, summoned the prince, and waited for the killing.
Xiao Mo first stepped out of the Xuanlin Palace, gradually the wind was cool, the dead leaves on the tree were blown off, walking on it, rattling, three or two steps later, a voice came from behind him, "Third brother stay." ”
turned around, and saw that it was Xiao Huai following, but he was not angry, and said lightly: "What is the matter with King Jing?"
"Can I go with the third brother?" Xiao Huai had a smile on his face, and he didn't shy away from Xiao Mo's coldness.
Xiao Mo's afterglow flickered, and he could faintly see the figure on the eaves shaking, snorted coldly, and said, "Go your own way." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a slight movement in his ears, several bows and arrows whistled, Xiao Mo turned sideways, dodged the arrows, and before he could catch his breath, another batch of bows and arrows attacked, dodging, the luxurious clothes were torn, and blood oozed from the hole, and Xiao Huai behind him was not much better, even the crown of his hair was shot off, and his hair was scattered, very embarrassed, fortunately, he dodged and hid behind a big camphor tree, and only took a breath a little.
The bow and arrow seemed to have eyes, straight to Xiao Mo, Rao is his internal strength is good, in the face of such a rain of arrows, he is still a little unable to parry, seeing that he is about to lose his physical strength, the number of bows and arrows suddenly plummeted, looking at it from a distance, Qianying led people to fight with the archers who were ambushed on the eaves, and at this time, several Praetorian Guards came from all directions, holding swords, and came straight to Xiao Mo.
After a while, the Praetorian Guards surrounded Xiao Mo and Xiao Huai, Xiao Mo grabbed a long sword and began to slash, while Xiao Huai gave his own people a look, and quickly hid in a small circle surrounded by their bodies, moving to the side.
Seeing that Xiao Mo was alone against the enemy, Qianying jumped down and stood side by side with Xiao Mo, and in an instant, several Praetorian Guards who didn't know whether they were alive or dead died under his calculations.
"In the past, Master always said that your kung fu was above me, but I don't think so." Thousand Shadows dodged and knocked another Praetorian Guard to the ground.
Xiao Mo slashed his sword, and a soldier in front of him fell to the ground, blood splattered three feet, "Even your abacus can match my sword!"
The two chatted, but the weapons in their hands did not stop for a moment, and soldiers kept falling, and they were only a little broken.
Outside the palace gate, Zhou Chang was the leader, the cloud soul rain was left and right, riding horses, followed by a large number of soldiers, the soldiers shouted, "Kill!"
As soon as the two teams of people and horses came into contact, they were like fire and water, and then they fought, Xiao Mo's people were all guarding the border all the year round, and they overwhelmed the Praetorian Guards in terms of momentum, and after a while, they had the upper hand.
Seeing this, Xiao Huai on the side hurriedly picked up the bow and arrow on the ground, and shot it while Xiao Mo was killing the enemy.
"Whoever dares to move will be killed!" Xiao Mo stood on the corpse of the soldier, holding a long sword, his eyes were solemn, everywhere his eyes went, the soldiers put down their weapons one after another, and in a moment, Zhou Chang controlled the Praetorian Guards, Yun Soul led people to guard the palace entrances, and Yu Luo replaced the guards in the palace, everything was a foregone conclusion.
"Take Xiao Huai down, and the rest of the people cheer up and defend all night." Xiao Mo threw away the bloody long sword in his hand and hurried towards the Xuande Palace.
In the palace, the queen is above, Xiao Wei is beside her, and the ministers below are still arguing about the establishment of a new monarch.
Xiao Mo, who was covered in blood, entered the hall, and was so shocked that the queen clenched her fists, and her lips moved subconsciously, "How come." ”
"Mother." Xiao Wei on the side wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the queen raising her hand, and scolded Xiao Mo: "In the main hall, how can you be undressed, the first emperor died, and the palace is in the right position, do you disrespect the first emperor or the palace." ”
"Hmph." Xiao Mo snorted coldly, and said coldly to the queen on the throne: "Murdering the emperor and killing the concubine, what kind of face do you have to say here." ”
"Presumptuous!" The queen slapped heavily on the chair handle, Zhen's hand trembled a little, and said sharply: "Dare to slander this palace, who gave you the guts." ”
Xiao Mo smiled sarcastically at the corner of his mouth, and said to the outside of the hall: "Imperial Doctor Chuanjiang!"
After a while, Imperial Physician Jiang entered the hall, knelt on the ground, and said slowly: "After the death of the first emperor, the ministers examined it, and his lips were blue and his bones were swollen, which was poisoning. ”
"Before and after my father's funeral, only you are by your side, but you have been wronged." When Xiao Mo was filial piety, he found these abnormalities, and at that time, he couldn't help but startle the snake, so he asked Imperial Doctor Jiang to secretly check it, and it was indeed poisoning.
The queen got up suddenly, pointed to the Imperial Doctor Jiang below and called the guards, "Come on, pull down this imperial doctor who is deceiving the public with evil words, and kill me!"
The guards at the door had already been replaced by Xiao Mo's people, and no matter how the queen shouted, she was still motionless.
"The queen is angry, what the imperial doctor said is not false." Yushi took a step forward and said: "Before the ministers sent the emperor into the coffin, looking at his remains, his lips were indeed blue. ”
As soon as the imperial history said, the ministers below echoed it, and suddenly felt the strangeness of the collapse of the emperor.
For a while, the ministers were gossiping, and seeing Xiao Mo so embarrassed, they all pointed out that the queen had plotted to kill the first emperor and kill the prince, and the queen was in a hurry, and she was angry, and she couldn't breathe, so she fainted.
Seeing this, the imperial history and the criminal department Shangshu knelt down together and said to Xiao Mo: "The main palace has no virtue, King Heng is the longest, and the trust of the country and the mountains is tolerated by the patriarchy, and King Heng is invited to ascend the throne." ”
The ministers below also understood, and Rao's neutral courtiers also knew that the overall situation had been decided, so they knelt down and shouted, "Please King Heng ascend the throne." ”
"The dynasty is unstable, the people's will is uncertain, now the king will inherit the mandate of heaven, ascend the throne as the emperor, please wait for your dedicated assistance." Xiao Mo walked up the steps and sat on the dragon chair, his majesty fully displayed.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"All the ministers are flat!"
Xiao Mo waved his hand, Rao was covered in blood, and he couldn't stop his majesty, and Xiao Wei on the side hugged the fainting queen, and he didn't make a sound, he knew that his general trend was gone.
