"Old Song Ge."

Huang Chongde's voice came from the other end, and the old man who had been with Emperor Jianxi all his life still maintained his usual gentleness at this moment.

"The prince is no longer here, and the emperor's edict and the old slave have also been handed over to the prince. The emperor had already made up his mind to pass on the throne to Prince Gong...... You and other rebellious ministers and thieves, tonight you got the left guard battalion and the thousands of troops of the Pingjing City Defense, what is it? ”

He glanced at Song Bozong and the ministers standing behind him.

"The original canonization ceremony of King Qi should be at the end of May. After the canonization, the concubine also immediately left Beijing with King Qi and went to the fiefdom. All this, the Ministry of Rites and the celebrant have files to check, and he Song Bozong can't erase the emperor's will now.

"Even if we all die here today, I still have millions of heroes in Da Zhou, and there are still people in the world who are willing to turn their backs. When the prince comes back in the coming day and truly quells the civil strife, he will never spare any rebel who rebels against the king. ”

The cabinet members in the crowd had no blood on their faces.

They have long understood what Huang Chongde means - stand in line now, stand in line immediately!

If Prince Gong really returns to Pingjing in the future, then all the rebel ministers who survived tonight will also face annihilation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all the mainstays of my Great Zhou." Huang Chongde's gaze became profound, "In the future, the name will be left in the annals of history, will it be remembered for thousands of years or will it be left for thousands of years...... Just look at tonight. ”

That's really ...... It's really ...... Difficult choices.

In addition to Pingjing's city defense, does Song Bozong have any other hole cards in his hand?

Will Prince Gong's son be able to escape?

Even if he escapes, will he really be able to make a comeback?

No one knows what the future holds.

However, if they make a wrong step tonight, then what awaits them is not only ruin, but also the overturning of the fate of an entire clan......

Bai Ling looked at the scene in front of him, and was feeling emotion in his heart, and suddenly felt that his left shoulder was being grabbed - Zhen leaned over and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"Good boy...... Thank you. Zhen whispered.

Bai Ling heard the tremor of her voice, and even her breathing was thick nasal, and she gently patted the princess's back.

"Don't be afraid, princess, the prince said he has a way." Bai Ling comforted in a low voice, "He said that as long as he lasted until dawn, he would be able to bring his troops back." ”

"Where's the soldier?" Zhen was shocked, "General Shen's?" ”

Bai Ling shook her head—she didn't know, time was too short, and she didn't have time to inquire.

"Anyway, we'll just hold out until dawn." Bai Ling said in a deep voice, "Believe in the prince." ”

Zhen frowned slightly.

She opened Bai Ling with ease, as if she had made up her mind.

"Princess......?"

Zhen took a deep breath and reached into the wide sleeve of her left hand with her right hand, her fingertips straining lightly—there was some kind of spark ignition sound from under the wide sleeve.

And in the next moment, Bai Ling finally saw clearly—Zhen's right hand was tightly grasping a bamboo knuckle about two fingers long.

With a soft roar that pierced the sky, a bright red firework shot straight into the night sky from outside the Heart Nourishing Palace, and a small spark bloomed under the dark clouds.

Everyone looked up at the night sky.

This is clearly a signal of some kind of summoning.

People couldn't help but look around, and the officers and men of the Left Guard Battalion clenched their swords tightly - but nothing happened.

Song Bozong's face was gloomy, "Put this Bai Ling and that Huang Chongde into prison...... Within an hour, I want to know Chen Yicong's whereabouts! ”

Several people stepped forward and brutally dragged Bai Ling away from Zhen's side, but when facing Huang Chongde, the officers and soldiers of the Left Guard Battalion were still a little hesitant - they had been with Emperor Jianxi for so long, and almost everyone had seen this old man who had always been trusted by the emperor.

Even at this time, thinking of Emperor Jianxi, who was still cold in the Heart Cultivation Palace, the guards still had some concerns.

"Grandpa Huang, please." The officers and soldiers said coldly.

Huang Chongde glanced at Song Bozong with a bit of sarcasm, and then went to Bai Ling's side and pushed aside the two guards who were holding Bai Ling back.

"Who else knows the way to prison better than me."

Huang Chongde's eyes were a little bit of the old man's unique compassion, he sighed lightly, took Bai Ling's hand, and slowly walked out with her.

An old man and a young man were escorted away by the guards.

Song Bozong turned around again and looked at the cabinet members behind him who had begun to waver, he knew what these people were worried about, if Prince Gong and the prince were captured and killed in the Heart Cultivation Hall tonight, then it would be the opposite.

But now that Chen Yicong has fled, everything has become uncertain.

Song Bozong sneered - in short, when the sun rises tomorrow, King Qi will ascend the throne in the Taihe Hall and accept the worship of all the Beijing officials above the fourth rank.

And at this moment, he just needs to bring out a few people to kill chickens and monkeys.

So several officials who didn't seem very determined were pushed out, and they cried lowly, just pleading with the princess to remember their names.

And at this moment, Prince Gong was brought over from the back of the Yangxin Hall like an eagle catching a chicken - it turned out that he had heard everything about Fang Cai in the palace, so he abandoned the body of Emperor Jianxi and tried to sneak away through the back door of the main hall, but was caught red-handed by the Zuo Wei Battalion.

Song Bozong laughed.

All cries and pleas ceased.

It seems that he doesn't have to talk anymore, no one hesitates anything in front of this cowardly and incompetent prince.

Sun Beiji and Zhang Shouzhong's bodies froze there, and they all turned their heads to tears. Fang Cai's tears are resentment and blood, and now the tears are only disappointment.

Song Bozong pointed to Prince Gong, who had been frightened, and bitterly stated his guilt in public, and finally took out the so-called edict as a matter of course, announcing that King Qi would inherit the unification.

Everyone knelt down, but Zhen was still standing there, looking at everything in front of him with a calm face.

"Get her on her knees!"

Song Bozong held the edict in his hand and gave an order sharply.

A soldier stepped forward and was about to reach out to grab Zhen's hair, when a knife flew out of nowhere in the darkness and cut off his hand.

With a scream, blood splashed on Zhen's face, and her gaze was so cold that she didn't move in the slightest.

Prince Gong's teeth trembled and he looked around, but before he could notice any clues, the wrestler who had been carrying his back collar was pierced through the belly from behind by a sharp embroidered spring knife.

Prince Gong fell to the ground.

When everyone saw the face that appeared behind Prince Gong, the first person to scream was Song Ne.

Han ...... Han Chong......? His eyes almost popped out of his sockets, "You...... Why are you ......!? ”

Han Chong indifferently pulled out the blood blade that had entered the body, clamped the blade between his two fingers, and quickly wiped the hot blood on it.

"It's too late for help." He said with an expressionless face, "Lord and princess forgive sins." ”
