As night fell, and when the last rays of sunset had faded, campfires were lit in the tents stationed on the outskirts, and a few stars appeared in the sky until the night was completely over.

Although it was late spring, the outskirts of the Imperial City still exuded a cold air.

The night was beautiful and quiet, but there seemed to be a little bleakness on the outskirts of the Imperial City, and it was not until late at night that the soldiers gradually fell asleep, leaving some soldiers on duty outside the tent to do their duty.

In this huge imperial city, that is, the royal guards led by General Huang Chizhong can loyally serve the current emperor.

In the tent, General Huang was holding a bamboo slip and reading it intently. Huang Chizhong is less than thirty years old, with a strong physique, his appearance is not handsome, his skin is a little yellow or even dark, but his eyes are bright and resolute.

Among the grass, a black-clothed man was hiding in the dark, observing everything here, taking advantage of the gap between the change of guards, quickly shuttled, found the tent of the main general, and quietly sneaked into General Huang's tent, but Huang Chizhong had already noticed it, but General Huang was still a step late, and the dagger was already across his neck.

"Who are you? What are the consequences of trespassing in the barracks? Although the dagger was hanging horizontally around his neck, Huang Chizhong was still neither humble nor arrogant, nor was he frightened.

The other party untied the black face towel and put down the dagger in his hand. When Huang Chizhong saw the other party, his pupils dilated, and he was surprised at first, but then turned into disdain, and said, "General Ji Dan? Do this thing of stealing chickens and touching dogs? ”

"General Huang has always been upright, and Qingfeng is straight to the point, Qingfeng came to ask the general for advice at this time."

"Don't dare to ask for advice, I'm afraid that the general has already come to my camp for a purpose, if it is really to ask for advice, it doesn't hurt to enter my camp to discuss it!" Huang Chizhong bolded his tone.

Before he could finish speaking, Qingfeng put the dagger on his neck again, and this time a bloody mark was printed on his neck.

"I'm a dignified husband, I've been fighting on the battlefield, it's hard to help me with your dagger. I advised General Ji Dan to put it away quickly, and don't bluff people with gadgets. If I really scream, I'm afraid that even the general won't be able to get out of my camp, right? ”

"The general has a lot of time to make contributions on the battlefield, if he dies tragically today, I'm afraid he will die a little wronged." Qingfeng saw that the other party was ruthless, and he also restrained his expression just now.

Huang Chizhong is naturally not afraid of Ji Dan Qingfeng, but he will not fight hard with him, after all, it is not good to make too much trouble, just listen to his intentions.

"What are you coming from?" Although Huang Chizhong was not convinced, his tone was also a little softer.

"I just want General Huang to think clearly, now the three princes are in the imperial city, if the three princes are here, what is the situation in the world? What if one of them was missing? However, General Huang also knows the power of these three princes, and I am afraid that it is impossible for anyone to be missing. I just don't want the general to be foolish and loyal, and cut off his future in vain. ”

"Nonsense! Now these three princes are under the control of the emperor today, I have always been loyal and what am I afraid of, in the future, it will be death, but also loyal to the country, and it is worth it! ”

"Your faithfulness is to cause more people suffering. However, General Huang is also a smart person, so he can naturally think of it. In the future, if there is a chance, General Huang will leave the palace, and he will welcome him from the king, and Qianling and Qianlu will also be happy to see you, the senior brother. ”

After that, Qingfeng was not reluctant, and left the camp with a masked face.

=====

On the third day, Huang Chizhong ordered the guards outside the imperial city to be removed and left the imperial city, and at the same time, the guards inside the city also sent the increased number of people out of the city.

At this time, the emperor was already unconscious, and immediately summoned Huang Chizhong back to the palace after learning the news.

But now this emperor is powerless, and he can't manage it if he wants to. And what the emperor didn't know was that when the emperor summoned him, he had already retreated from the people around him, and there were only two people in the hall.

"You have always been faithful, why do you disobey? You don't know their wolf ambitions, and they're all staring at my position. The emperor was so angry that he wanted to sit up, but there was nothing he could do.

"Back to the imperial city, the minister is just acting on orders." Huang Chizhong replied on his knees.

"By order, by ...... Who...... Target...... Life? "He spoke staccato and weakly.

"Naturally, it is the emperor's order." A smile appeared on the corner of Huang Chizhong's mouth, and he also stood up, looked at the hall, and walked towards the emperor.

"You...... Be...... Who? At this time, the emperor couldn't even open his eyes, and he didn't really look at the other party, "You...... Be...... Who? The other party did not answer.

The room suddenly became quieter, and the emperor's panting voice became weaker and weaker.

General Huang hurried out of the main hall, and the attendants outside learned that the emperor had died.

=====

On the outskirts of the city, in an abandoned house, a man with his hands and feet tied, his eyes covered with a black cloth, and he couldn't see the direction clearly.

"You are so bold, let me go!" The man's voice was slightly rough.

"Senior brother, don't be angry!" A man grinned and ripped off the other's black cloth.

"A thousand spirits!" The other party seemed to be a little surprised, and randomly scolded again: "You kidnapped me, do you want to rebel?" ”

"Senior Brother Qianren is still so old-fashioned, how dare I dare to rebel, I haven't seen my senior brother for so many years, and my senior brother doesn't want me." As he spoke, he pinched Qianren's face.

"Phew, you don't study well one by one, I'm not your senior brother!" Qianren shook off his hand and turned his head to the side, his face full of disbelief.

"Senior brother, I'm here to save you, and you still don't appreciate it." Qianlu said with a grin. "Now that General Huang has withdrawn his troops, you said that if you go out again, who will believe you."

"Withdraw troops? Without my orders......" General Huang didn't continue, frowned, and suddenly realized: "You are looking for someone to pretend to be me?" You are so bold, I didn't expect Ji Dan Qingfeng, the first son in the world, to do such an unfaithful and unrighteous thing! ”

"What did the senior brother say!" Qian Yu was unhappy, and said: "Since General Ji Dan is the first prince in the world, he will naturally not do disloyal and unrighteous things!" Although we are brothers and sisters, you can't wronged people. Besides, I don't know who is pretending to be you, and I can't let you go back during the national funeral anyway. Qianlu pretended to be helpless.

"You unfaithful and unrighteous people, I will teach you a good lesson for the master." Between the words, Qianren had already broken the rope away, but when he was about to use force, he found that he couldn't do it anymore.

"Senior brother, you just stay here, we haven't seen each other for many years, let's catch up with the past!" Qianlu patted Qianren's shoulder and tightened it again with the rope.

Qianren knew that he would not be able to escape for a while, so he sighed and said, "Are the Qianling and Qianyu brothers okay?!" ”

"You really only care about the two brothers!" Qianlu said unconvinced.

"Among these junior brothers, you are the most honest, you naturally don't have to worry about anyone, their brothers have a withdrawn personality, and they are still the same after so many years!"

"Senior brother, if you are really worried about us, it is better to follow the king, and it will not be too much trouble!" Qian Luo continued.

"Leaving the king? He's nothing! He can do this thing of killing his father and seeking glory! I can't do the betrayal of the king! Qianren said indignantly.

"Senior Brother said it so seriously, Qianlu was afraid to hear it." Qianlu grinned and didn't care, "However, my task is to take a good look at you, after these few days, everyone is relaxed!" ”

=====

The emperor's funeral ceremony is considered to be a thin burial, the funeral procedures and ceremonies are all simple, it seems that the ministers and descendants all know that according to the past, the emperor's coffin will be placed at least seven hundred and forty-nine days before being buried, but this time after the first seven, the Ministry of Rites organized and arranged the burial, and the burial place was also set by the emperor before his death.

The princes, queens, princesses, and those princes have long been wearing linen and filial piety, crying and crying.

Afterwards, the conversation between Huang Chizhong and Liwang was also seen by others, and the civil and military generals also had their own camps.

But I didn't expect that in addition to Huang Chizhong, even the queen summoned the king alone, which really surprised the king, although the king had a good impression of the prince, but he didn't have a good impression of the queen, except for the routine greeting ceremony, the queen didn't seem to want to see him.

"The concubine has seen the king." The queen saluted the king very politely this time, although she was tired for a day, but she didn't seem to be tired, maybe because she had cried, her face was slightly haggard.

"The queen is polite, how dare I leave the king." Liwang didn't seem to buy her actions, nor was he afraid of her, even with a sense of disdain.

"In the future, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ask the king to take care of him." The queen continued, looking at the Liwang to see how he reacted.

"That's natural, there is no need for the queen's orders, Xiao Wang naturally has to take care of the prince more." A smile appeared at the corner of Liwang's mouth, which was unpredictable.

"The concubine may not have made it clear, the concubine means that for the sake of the old affection between your father and the concubine, if the prince is in trouble in the future, I also ask for the help of the king, I know that this world is no longer controlled by this small imperial city, the prince is weak, but the blood is thicker than the water ......."

"Shut up...... King Liwang seems to be unable to listen to this shocking news anymore, although he heard a rumor or two about his father and this queen back then, but now it is even more difficult to believe it from the mouth of this queen.

"It was true that your father rebelled back then, but it was all instigated by Ji Danrong, and our matter was revealed that day, your father had no choice but to do it, otherwise he would not have ended up like this."

"Mo Jiang deserved to be punished for rebellion back then, and I shouldn't know about the queen's palace secrets as an outsider, and this king has never heard of this, so I should leave first." After hearing this, the king was very shocked, but he still said calmly, turned around and left first.

"I never thought about the king, among the many brothers, why does the prince just like to be close to the king?" The queen's voice is doubled.

"In that case, I'm afraid that the position of queen is not yours for a long time, right?" Although Liwang didn't believe her words, he still stopped, as if waiting for her to speak the rest of the story, waiting to hear the truth.

"It's a long story. ...... year"
