Chapter 108: Captivity
[Chapter 5, Volume 5]
Section 115 Chapter 108 Captivity
Prince Cheng received a sword from Prince Luo in order to have a legitimate reason to clean up Prince Luo, otherwise there would be more doubts in the history books about this succession battle.
But this doesn't mean that it is necessary for him to accept Lan Yucheng's sword!
When the sword was about to die, Prince Cheng dodged sideways, grabbed Lan Yucheng's hand, knocked off the sword in his hand, and said to the Praetorian Guards next to him: "The imperial brother is dead, and the pain of Prince Luo's son's loss of his father, this king also feels the same way. Temporarily imprison Prince Luo in the side hall to prevent him from accidentally injuring others because of his restless thoughts! ”
The commander of the Praetorian Guard waved his hand, and suddenly two Praetorian Guards stepped forward to restrain Lan Yucheng.
"Let go of me!" Lan Yucheng struggled like a trapped beast: "Lan Shikang, you are plotting to usurp the throne, losing your father and killing your brother, and being a man in vain!" ”
Lin Yidong watched all this happen, but he couldn't stop it. It was only at this moment that he saw clearly that Scholar Xie had become Prince Cheng's person. Even if he says it, it can't save the situation here. Prince Luo is dead, the prince is imprisoned, who else will believe him? Even the people who were still flattering Prince Luo a moment ago were already cowering and hiding behind at this moment, deeply afraid of the new emperor's might, and the first to kill them.
"Prince Cheng holds the Holy Edict, and he is the one who inherits the throne. Lin Da spoke wildly, slandered the new emperor, and planned to usurp the throne with Prince Luo. Come to someone, remove Lord Lin from his top and enter Dali Temple to await trial! "At this moment, Scholar Xie is just saying black as white, and I'm afraid no one will speak out against it.
No matter what the facts are, the saint drove the crane west, and now the only one who has the ability to inherit the throne is Prince Cheng.
Lin Yidong knew that he had reached the place of death, and when he thought of his wife who was still waiting for him to go back at home, and two newborn children, he suddenly felt sad. Prince Cheng ruled the army very strictly, and his people were also notorious, and he never had any mercy for the old and weak women and children. Asking Prince Cheng to let go of his family members is simply a fool's dream. So, Lin Yidong reluctantly took off the official hat on his head and said: "If you have done evil, you can still live; and thou shalt not live. Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people! ”
The Praetorian Guards stepped forward and took Lin Yidong down.
Scholar Xie once again fell to his knees and shouted, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Suddenly, from inside the Qianqing Palace to outside the Qianqing Palace, the sound of the mountain, like a wave, rolled towards the distance.
The new emperor has been decided, the palace door is wide open, and the world is announced!
……
In the Xile House in the afternoon, Mengyu was accompanying the old lady, teasing the two little dolls.
"Old lady, a notice has been posted in the city, saying that the Holy Lord has gone west and Prince Cheng will inherit the throne!" Chief Manager Lin frowned tightly and walked quickly into Xile Ju from outside the door.
"Succeeded by Prince Cheng?!" Suddenly, the old lady collapsed on the stool as if all her strength had been drained.
Thinking of that day, Master Lin returned from the palace and said to the old lady with a happy face: "The three girls in our family are really blessed. Our Lin family, in a few years, will have a queen! At that time, the old lady was also surprised and delighted, and asked, "Is it possible, there are already words down?" Master Lin smiled very excitedly: "What's more, today's saint has written the edict of succession, and the person who inherits it is Prince Luo!" ”
Such a major event is naturally not allowed to be publicized, and Master Lin has only told his mother.
Obviously, he was talking about Prince Luo that day, why did he suddenly become Prince Cheng?! The old lady suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"Where's the master? Can I inquire about the master's situation? The old lady looked at Manager Lin with a nervous expression.
"The adults who stayed in the palace have also returned home. The old slave also went to the mansion of the lord who was good friends with him, but as soon as I reported the name of the master, I was immediately kicked out. In a hurry, the old slave went straight to the mansion of an adult, and the lord said, "......"
"Say what!" The old lady stood up anxiously and took a few steps towards Chief Manager Lin.
"It is said that the old man is planning to usurp the throne with Prince Luo, and he has been sent to Dali Temple to await trial!" Chief Lin said the adult's words in a complicated manner.
"Plotting to usurp the throne!?" The old lady fell a few steps back, but fortunately she was held up by Mengyu in time.
The old lady looked at Mengyu and said with a sad face: "Plotting to usurp the throne, this is a big crime of the Nine Clans!" ”
Mengyu looked incredulous, looked at Chief Lin and asked, "What about Prince Luo?" How is Shizi now? ”
"Prince Luo intended to kill the new emperor, and committed suicide in the Praetorian Guard. The prince was also imprisoned in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace. ”
"How so?!" Mengyu shook her head, hoping that she was just having a nightmare at the moment.
Suddenly, the old lady knelt in front of Chief Manager Lin and said, "The Lin Mansion is dead, the old man knows that you have recovered your martial arts, and I hope you can save these two poor children." The old lady's face was full of tears, and she had no other choice.
"Old lady, now that it's over, it's better to leave Kyoto with everyone as soon as possible!" Manager Lin stepped forward to help the old lady and said eagerly.
"The great sin of the Nine Clans, how can it be so easy to escape all of them. I only hope that you will take these two children and fly away and leave a pulse for my Lin family. Your great kindness is grateful! With that, he put the two children into the arms of Chief Lin Daguan.
"Lin An will definitely swear to protect the young lady and the young master to the death!" Lin An also knew that it was impossible to escape, so he didn't say anything. resolutely left Xileju with his two children.
The old lady looked at Lin An's departing back, and instantly aged for decades.
Mengyu didn't expect that a few days ago, Lan Yucheng told her with a happy face that the emperor told him that he intended to pass on the throne to his father. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the person who inherited the throne turned out to be another person.
In the past few days, she has been embroidering her wedding dress with joy, waiting for the time to pass slowly, and then on February 19 of the next year, she will marry him.
Her dreams are full of sweetness. He and her, under the witness of heaven and earth, will hold hands until they are old.
Prince Luo is dead, will the new emperor let him go after he ascends the throne? How many miserable people have to pay for a failure to seize the throne?
"Old lady, a group of Praetorian Guards rushed in outside the door!" A maid panicked and said to the old lady for some reason.
"It's coming, it's coming so fast...... "When it came to the end, she did everything she could, and there was no other way than to face it calmly.
"Son, grandmother's days are numbered, but you and your mother are still young. Go to Peony House and leave with your mother! The old lady pushed the dream language, and now she can only go away one by one.
"Grandmother ......" Mengyu was willing to leave the old lady and leave first.
"Xing'er, Peach, take your young lady to find Madame, hurry up." After saying that, the old lady pushed Mengyu to Momo and Xing'er, and walked towards the door as if she were dead.
Mengyu chased a few steps to the door, but was stopped by Tao'er and Xing'er: "Miss, listen to the old lady......"
Mengyu watched a group of Praetorian Guards break into the courtyard of Xileju, and the old lady stood in front of them and said something, but suddenly, the leader kicked the old lady to the ground, and then drew his sword and stabbed the old lady's body.
The old lady looked back in the direction of Dream Language, repeating a sentence in her mouth. She couldn't hear Mengyu, but she knew that the old lady was telling her to leave quickly.
Xing'er and Tao'er didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and ran towards Mrs. Lin's Xile Ju with Mengyu. Mengyu was crying, and her steps became faster and faster.
"Mother, the Praetorian Guards are coming, leave with me......" Mengyu entered the Peony House and went straight to Mrs. Lin's room.
"What? Kids, what about kids?! Before Mrs. Lin was out of confinement, she was lying on the bed and heard the chaotic voices of the people outside the house. When I heard the words of the dream, I didn't have time to ask the reason, and I only thought about the two children.
"The child has been taken away by Mr. Lin, grandmother, grandmother, she is also dead...... Mengyu remembered the scene when the old lady died in front of her, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.
"Quick, let's go quickly......" Mrs. Lin didn't care about any clothes, and ran out of the house with Mengyu.
There is no life, even if there is softness, there is no blessing to endure.
