Chapter 301: Palace Change (2)
Empress Xiao and Concubine Chen knelt in front of Empress Dowager Li, each insisting on their own grievances. Of course, the focus of both sides is the battle for the throne, both openly and covertly. Empress Dowager Li sneered and asked the two, isn't it Your Majesty's future that matters now? Empress Xiao immediately took it, and it was precisely because she had to deal with His Majesty that the crown prince wanted to succeed to the throne quickly.
Concubine Chen took out the reason for the prince's lameness again, in front of the queen mother, she expected that Queen Xiao would not dare to do it again, but she was wrong again, this time Queen Xiao's methods were even more powerful than just now, just now it was just a slap, this time it was heartwarming.
"Slut!"
"What is your intention to blaspheme the prince repeatedly? The crown prince is not worthy of succession, who can? Your son? Dream!! ”
Empress Dowager Li was taken aback in her heart, but her face did not waver, but she was thinking about what kind of backing she had behind Empress Xiao's arrogance? Just because her son is the crown prince? After many years of dealings, she thinks that the queen is not so unreliable.
Not long after, there was a sudden commotion outside the hall, the news spread to the inside, it was King Shou who raised troops, entered the palace with the number of King Qin, and is now fighting with the Imperial Forest Army, the lords and princes who got the news were panicked, life and death, it is human instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, so they have to hide in the main hall, when they landed, the huge Zhaoyun Hall was stuffed full.
After a while, more accurate news came, King Qin's soldiers and horses were not all the guards of King Shou, but there were also soldiers and horses in the five cities of the east, west, south, north and middle. Empress Dowager Li sneered and stared at Empress Xiao, and said, "Good ability", and King Qin came to her head.
Empress Xiao bluntly gave Empress Dowager Li a roll of her eyes, meaning that the other party was too self-indulgent, this room full of people, except for Xiao Yu, the most valuable of the Shengwang, no one can afford the word King Qin.
As the saying goes, the thief captures the king first, so Queen Xiao and King Shou jointly use the slogan of King Qin to control Xiao Yu, and the intention could not be more obvious.
The Imperial Guards were strong, but outnumbered, and soon in decline. After getting this news, Mo said Concubine Chen, even Empress Dowager Li lost the majesty just now, and gradually became silent.
Soon, King Shou's personal guards arrived at the corridor of the Showa Palace, and after killing the most elite group of royal forest troops, they drove straight into the main hall. Headed by King Shou, after entering the palace, he knelt in front of Queen Xiao with a clear goal, and said righteously: "It's too late for the minister's rescue, the queen's mother, His Royal Highness the prince is atoning for his sins!" ”
Empress Xiao also put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look, "Uncle Wang sent charcoal in the snow, the palace is very moved, the new emperor has not yet succeeded to the throne, and I hope that Uncle Wang will preside over the overall situation." Then, he threw Xiao Yu a look of "It's useless for you to regret it now".
King Shou immediately received the order, about a cup of tea, the cabinet and the six important ministers were "invited" into the hall by King Shou's subordinates, the old ministers were all depressed, a few days ago, they thought that the prince was not good at doing things, indulged in wine, and did not want to make progress as the reason to join the prince, in order to expect His Majesty to reconsider the candidate for the prince. It's only been a few days? There was such an accident...... Providence is unpredictable!
The crown prince succeeded to the throne, and the simple process began, and the timid and subservient knelt on the ground and bowed without waiting for a "greeting", shouting "Long live Your Majesty".
Empress Xiao breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, and then cheered up and joined hands with King Shou to "gnaw" those hard bones, starting with a slightly softer one, among the lords and dukes, and the ministers of civil and military affairs, only Zhou Xiao and Xie Jin did not kneel, and they looked particularly abrupt in the pile of people who were a little shorter in the black pressure.
Among the concubines, princes, and princesses, only Concubine Chen and the Eighth Prince did not kneel, and the two of them hid behind Xiao Yu and swore not to give in. Concubine Chen thought very clearly, Empress Xiao hated her for many years, and she regarded the Eighth Prince as a thorn in her side, even if she gave in at the moment, there would be no good fruit to eat.
Left and right are death, but it is better to die with dignity. What's more, she still wants to gamble.
The bet is, Xiao Yu.
