Chapter 422: King Duan's Fate
Nangong Nianxi looked at him, thinking that he would be very angry, but he didn't expect to pass by like this, could it be that his heart really indulged himself to such a point? If it hadn't happened before, she would have been really confused by his true feelings.
Ming Haoduan told her to wear more clothes and pay attention to keeping warm, and then walked out of the Yueming Palace with the guards and the chief eunuch.
Nangong Nianxi also hated them rolling the sheets here at night, so they still returned to the room where they lived yesterday, and during the day, Nangong Qingrou and Liu Qianqian were taken back to their designated palaces, because they also had to participate in the enthronement ceremony the next day.
There was nothing to say all night, and when it came to the time of ascending the throne, the situation was unprecedented, for fear that people with ulterior motives would destroy the ceremony, and the royal guards were each wearing waist swords, and as long as someone disobeyed, they would take it on the spot.
Although Nangong Nianxi has no name, she was invited by Ming Haoduan to attend the ceremony, and what she said was good was to watch the ceremony, but what she said was not good was that she was afraid that she would have some ghost ideas, or someone might plot something wrong, and take her away from her side.
Anyway, Nangong Nianxi didn't think about escaping, sorted out his clothes and sat in the reserved position with Shi Yu and the dark night, the whole ceremony seemed to be calm, but there was a hidden murderous intention. At the beginning of the music, Ming Hao walked up the steps in a yellow robe, walked into the Jinluan Hall with his head up, and did not forget to take a look at it affectionately when he passed by Nangong to remember the past.
Nangong Qingrou and Liu Qianqian walked behind them, because only the two of them had the identity of side concubines, everything was in place, and they heard the eunuch shouting: "The emperor's enthronement ceremony begins!" ”
"Wait!" A man with a deep voice shouted.
The ministers were just about to kneel down to worship the Son of Heaven, and when they heard the voice, they all looked back, only to see that the leader was a soft sedan chair, on which was the current emperor Ming Haotian.
Some ministers thought that the emperor had personally come to preside over the ceremony for the succession ceremony of the prince. Only the ministers who betrayed knew that today's ceremony was somewhat unexpected, some of the timid officials were a little trembling in their legs, and the officials on both sides were waiting to see the forces of the two sides, and who won or lost in the end depends on the present day.
Ming Haoduan was also shocked, because he saw Ming Haoxuan beside the emperor.
However, he regained his composure, and his eyes patrolled to Xu Guoan, but Xu Guoan gave him a calm look. This made Ming Haoduan a little sure. Immediately regain your mood and be calm.
"Father, is this for his sons to preside over the ceremony?"
Ming Haojie stood up angrily and said:"Second brother! The emperor has dreamed enough, wake up! Your conspiracy has been discovered, so hurry up and kneel down to admit your mistake to your father! ”
"Huh...... Hehe......! My father has a summons and has ordered the throne to be passed on to me, and no one wants to stop me in today's grand succession ceremony. Ming Hao said forcefully.
In order to show the military power in his hands, Xu Guoan deliberately stepped forward to stand beside Ming Haoduan and said, "Yo drink! Are father and son still quite in unison? Let's not talk about the four princes and the ten princes, shouldn't our nine princes be in prison? Why didn't you come to this grand celebration uninvited, aren't you afraid that the current emperor will blame you and not miss your brotherhood. ”
Ming Haoxuan stepped forward when he heard this, and said, "Xu Guoan! You don't want to be a fox here, it's too early for you to say that the emperor in your mouth is still too early, you haven't ascended the throne yet, your father hasn't summoned him yet, you are called the emperor in such a grand manner, you are conclusive evidence of the crime, and you are plotting to rebel. ”
"What about rebellion? I know, don't you just have a Sima Zhongming who holds the power of the army? But I'm afraid he's still fighting the enemy on the border? Now with this emperor with a broken leg, and you three bare-pole princes? Hehe! It's a big joke, this imperial city is full of our new emperor's people, you are killing yourself. They tied them up for me. After speaking, he waited for his royal guards to make a move, and then continued with the following rituals.
But after commanding for a long time, his subordinates all stood straight and straight, staring straight ahead one by one. Ming Haoping opened his mouth and said, "Second brother! Let's stop it! It's good to have no desires and no desires like me, let go of your obsession, and maybe your father will forgive you. ”
"Shut up! Since the ninth brother got married, you seem to have changed as a person, and I still wonder, it turns out that you are also worried about my past, but fortunately, you are self-aware, alienated from me, and quit the competition by yourself. But this throne should have been mine, and I am bound to get it, whether I grab it or not, it's just in advance. ”
"Evil obstacles! If you don't stop, you will join forces with your mother to usurp the throne. Together with Xu Guoan and the Prime Minister's Mansion to betray the country and seek glory, what else do you have to say today when the evidence is conclusive? "Ming Hao's weather is half dead, I really didn't expect him to make an agreement with Qianyuan Kingdom for the throne to cede the city, if it weren't for Sima Zhongming to stop the army, the people on the border would definitely be displaced now.
Ming Hao saw that his actions were exposed, and he no longer hid, and said with righteousness: "So what, the army in this imperial city is all under Xu Guoan, and the queen family in this capital is all in the capital, as well as the power of my father-in-law, and the support of these courtiers, what can you do to me?" The courtiers who obeyed Ming Haoduan automatically drew the past, and more than half of the courtiers still chose to stand on Ming Haoxuan's side.
Ming Haoxuan listened and reminded: "Second brother! You seem to have forgotten that my father gave me the Black Armor Army! ”
"What about the Black Armor Army, I sealed the city gate early, can your Black Armor Army still fly in?"
Ming Haojie preemptively said:"Second brother! I really made you guess right, Xu Guoan's Imperial Forest Army here has long been completely replaced by Steward Su, and this second brother's black armor army can really fly in, don't believe it! After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed at it, and the black pressed person flew into the capital and into the palace as if he had wings. Fought with Ming Haoduan's troops.
Originally, Ming Haoxuan's black armor army was able to fight well. And the officers and soldiers guarding the imperial city are lazy and fatal, even if they are trained in peacetime, they can only get a share when they meet real elite soldiers.
Ming Haoduan was really anxious at this time, and the guards around him also faced the battle, where had Nangong Qingrou and Liu Qianqian seen such a scene, they thought that they had made up their minds to be the imperial concubine, but they didn't expect the old emperor to suddenly appear, and they were so frightened that they hid beside Ming Haoduan.
Ming Hao saw that his army was so vulnerable, and he was in an impatient mood, so he stretched out his hand and pushed out the two women who were leaning on his side, the two of them didn't expect to be pushed out at this time, they couldn't stand and fell to the ground, and they were put on their necks by the Royal Forest Army's waist knife, and the two of them collapsed to the ground in an instant.
Ming Hao turned his head and looked at the queen mother who was sitting next to him, at this time, he was also put on his neck with a knife, and the Imperial Forest Army held the courtiers who supported him together, Xu Guoan relied on his martial arts, and wanted to resist, but he didn't expect to be killed on the spot by the Royal Forest Army, which scared Nangong Qingrou and fainted.
Ming Hao saw that the general trend had gone, and when he turned around, he saw Nangong Nianxi sitting there quietly, thinking that these black armor soldiers could fly out of thin air, it must be her, and her heart and mind were all for her, but she was embarrassed by herself everywhere. Now it has ended up in defeat.
Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the purple gold crown on his head, walked towards Nangong Nianxi, and accused: "Is this person flying from the sky your masterpiece?" ”
Nangong Nianxi slowly got up and said, "Yes!" ”
"Ask what? Why do you have to be my enemy, is it just to embarrass you for the sake of the palace's repentance, I have already explained, do you still hate me? ”
Nangong Nianxi sneered and said, "Lord Duan! You're so funny, I don't even remember it, you're still haunted, today's situation is your own doing, and it has nothing to do with anyone. ”
"Impossible! I lost today, and I will definitely not let you have a good time, Nangong Nianxi, I am so sincere to you, why don't you understand me? As he spoke, he snatched the waist knife of the surrounding enemies and cut them down.
Coming over at Nangong Nianxi, he glared at her angrily as if he had red eyes, and said, "Nianxi!" Even if I die, I want you to accompany me! ”
The dark night and the stone rain protected Nangong Nianxi behind him. At the same time: "Second brother! Ming Haoxuan and Ming Haoping shouted almost at the same time, flying forward, one shoulder at a time trying to control Ming Haoduan, who knew that he had been provoked to the edge of madness at this time, and no one shouted to work.
The three of them fought in one place, Ming Hao held a steel knife in his hand, and raised it fiercely to the two, as if the two were his enemies, and the knife was fatal and merciless.
Nangong Nianxi saw it and shouted: "Xuan! Fourth brother! Be careful! He's gone crazy! ”
Ming Haoduan sneered: "I'm crazy! Hehe, I'm crazy, and you drove me crazy, Nangong Nianxi, I treated you so well, why can he wait for you to say "fourth brother" in the end, but I got you a sentence of "I'm crazy"!
Nangong Nianxi didn't want to argue with him, Ming Haoxuan and Ming Haoping took the opportunity to subdue him, but he was crazy and desperately slashed at everyone, Ning Yuxin looked at his son's sudden madness, desperately rushed out of the encirclement, ran to his son, and cried and shouted: "Duan'er! What happened to you? ”
Ming Haoduan had already killed his red eyes at this time, and when he saw someone, he cut it when he saw a woman, and when he saw a woman rushing up, he slashed it with a knife, and Ning Yuxin fell in a pool of blood.
Ming Haoduan only saw clearly that it was his mother who fell to the ground, but it was too late, Nangong Nianxi hurriedly stepped forward, checked the pulse, and looked at the neck again, a knife was fatal, there were no vital signs, and he shook his head at everyone.
Ming Hao reacted at this time, hugged his mother and cried, suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and he fell to the ground with Ning Yuxin in his arms.
Nangong Nianxi wanted to step forward and help him diagnose and treat, but was stopped by Ming Haoxuan and said, "Xi'er! There is no imperial doctor who can cure it. ”
Nangong Nianxi listened to it, and felt that he didn't need to heal him, whether he was good or not, no matter how he tried to rebel, even if the emperor was merciful, he would probably spend the rest of his life in prison.
