Chapter 252: A Sudden Change
Chu Moyang said with a smile: "The second brother is late, but I will have to punish a few more glasses later!" ”
Chu Moyan lowered his eyes and smiled faintly, and said, "It should be!" ”
Chu Moyan's gaze looked at Murong Xun, staring for a while, there was affection, struggle, and forbearance in his eyes, and the meaning was difficult to understand.
In Chu Moyang's ambiguous smile, Chu Moyan turned his gaze away, and a palace man pushed his wheelchair to the prince's head.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the prince said: "Tonight is a reunion night according to the customs of Yan Kingdom, and it is also an annual day to pray for blessings. Recently, my father's health has been unwell, and tonight's blessing is presided over by the main palace. Let's go! ”
As soon as his words fell, he saw several white-clothed women descending from the sky, the white silk in their hands was lightly flicked, and their graceful postures began to dance.
A third of the way through the song, I saw several men dressed in white carrying a large drum into the center of the field. At this time, I saw another woman in white falling from the sky, gently landing on the drum, with a light tap of her toes, and a pleasant drum sound was released.
Murong Xun looked at it, and this woman was not Yu Fen.
"How is the dance of the trusted goddess?" Zhao Pan raised his wine glass and took a sip gently.
Murong Xun hid the surprise in his heart and said, "Beautiful! ”
"I think so too!" Zhao Pan put down the wine glass, "But although this encouragement is on par with the previous goddess, this aura is still inferior!" ”
Murong Xun quietly looked at Zhao Pan's smiling face and asked, "What happened?" ”
Zhao Pan chuckled, "Started to get nervous?" Don't be too curious, because something will surprise you even more! ”
Murong Xun glanced at Chu Moyan, but his gaze didn't look at it. It's just three days, what happened? Murong Xun searched among the people present, but he didn't seem to see Yu Cang's figure, could it be that the entire Yu family had already had an accident?
After finishing the dance, the woman in white gently danced the big drum, slowly walked to the front of the prince, and said: "May my Yan Kingdom have a smooth wind and rain in the coming year, and the country and the people will be safe!" ”
The prince clapped his hands and smiled: "Reward! ”
"Prince Xie!" After the goddess retired, Chu Moyang looked at everyone and said, "Tonight, we don't distinguish between kings and ministers, and we don't get drunk and don't return!" He picked up the wine glass and said loudly: "Cheers to the wind and rain of the Yan country, the country is rich and the people are strong!" ”
Baiguan also immediately raised his wine glass and drank it all.
At this time, an old minister below said: "Today's grand ceremony, why don't you see the queen?" ”
Chu Moyang had a touch of sentimentality on his face, and said: "The queen took care of her father's body day and night, so that her body gradually weakened, and she was bedridden because of the accidental wind chill a few days ago!" ”
After the people below said a few words of praise for the queen's benevolence, everyone drank again.
It seemed that even Zhao Qi had been controlled, and Murong Xun couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
At this time, I suddenly saw Cai He walking in the direction of Chu Moyang with an anxious face, and said a few words in Chu Moyang's ear, Chu Moyang's face changed when he heard this, the quilt in his hand fell off, and he cried: "Father! ”
The people below were shocked when they heard this, and asked, "Dare to ask Your Highness what happened?" ”
Chu Moyang said with a sad face: "Just now, Manager Cai came to report that my father has died!" ”
"Ahh
"Your Majesty!"
The hundreds of officials below all knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
The crown prince wiped his tears, and immediately got off the high platform and walked towards the emperor's bedroom. The rest of the people ran after him.
The crown prince knelt in front of the door of the emperor's bedroom, crying breathlessly, but on the contrary to him, Chu Moyan had an expressionless face.
"The country can't be left without an owner for a day, since the prince is in the East Palace, he should ascend the throne now, and preside over the overall situation!" One of the ministers suggested.
As soon as the words were spoken, the people below echoed them.
The crown prince wiped his tears and said: "My father's bones are not cold, where does this palace have the heart to discuss this matter, let's discuss this matter later!" ”
"Your Majesty has died, and the ministers are also heartbroken, and the ministers also know that His Highness moved the heavens first, but please put state affairs first and ascend the throne as soon as possible!"
The crown prince said a few more words, and agreed to ascend the throne after half a push.
At this time, Zuo Yuan, who was kneeling below, suddenly said: "Slow! He got up and looked at Cai He and said, "The minister still has some doubts about His Majesty's death, and he still has a few words to ask Chief Cai!" ”
The prince raised his eyes and glanced at Zuo Yuan hatefully.
"May I ask Mr. Cai, the old minister also saw His Majesty yesterday, that is, His Majesty's spirit is still okay, why did he suddenly die today?" Zuo Yuan Road.
Cai He said: "Your Majesty's body has always been good and bad, and Your Majesty is old and lingering on the sickbed, which is also known to everyone!" Could it be that Taifu suspects that the slave is not successful? ”
Zuo Yuan said: "Don't dare! Dare to ask the manager, when His Majesty died, who were there around him? ”
Cai He said: "Only the slave is waiting on the side!" ”
Zuo Yuan nodded and said, "When the old minister saw His Majesty yesterday, His Majesty gave the old minister a testament!" ”
As soon as these words came out, hundreds of officials began to discuss, and the prince's face suddenly turned pale.
"What does the edict say?"
"Your Majesty intends to take over the throne with the prince?"
Zuo Yuan slowly glanced at everyone, took out a yellow cloth from his sleeve, and said, "Your Majesty's edict is here!" ”
The crowd knelt down one after another to receive the order.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: The second prince Chu Moyan is eloquent and strategic, benevolent, virtuous and filial, and can be a great responsibility. I will pass on the second prince Chu Moyan and take the order! ”
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Wait!" Chu Moyang's white face slowly got up, his eyes looked at Zuo Yuan fiercely, and he gritted his teeth and said, "How do we know if this edict is true or false?" ”
Zuo Yuan said: "This edict was written by His Majesty himself, if the prince doesn't believe it, he can verify the handwriting!" ”
"Nonsense, my father's medicine stone is obviously sick, how can he have the strength to write the edict!" Chu Moyang said sharply.
Zuo Yuan glanced at Chu Moyang and said, "That's why the minister wondered why His Majesty died suddenly!" ”
"You!" Chu Moyang pulled out the saber of the guards beside him, pointed at Zuo Yuan and shouted: "You old horseman, fake the holy decree, you deserve death!" As he spoke, he stabbed Zuo Yuan in the chest with a knife.
At this time, I saw a golden wire cut through, entangled the knife in Chu Moyang's hand.
I saw that a piece of the golden silk was held by Chu Moyan in his hand, and Chu Moyan, who had never spoken, said lightly: "Why should the imperial brother be excited, if the old lady pretends to be a holy decree and has his own national law to deal with it, why should the imperial brother do it himself, is the imperial brother annoyed and angry?" ”
"This palace is the prince of the country, and it is logical for this palace to inherit the unification, why should this palace be angry for a fake edict of an old horseman!" Chu Moyang sneered.
"Brother Chen thinks so too!" Chu Moyan said lightly, "The imperial brother Wen Cheng is a martial artist, and it is the destiny of heaven for the imperial brother to inherit the throne!" Mo Yan is a disabled person, and it is difficult to take on a big responsibility! ”
After Chu Moyan finished speaking, even Chu Moyang was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he was paying attention to. As soon as he turned his eyes, he saw that Zhao Pan on the side was holding a dagger and pointed at Murong Xun's neck. Seeing this, the corners of Chu Moyang's mouth raised a disdainful smile, how could he make a difference if he had a long love for his children.
"The queen has arrived, and the princess of Dingguo has arrived!"
Hearing this, Chu Moyang's face changed again, and it had become a decisive intention.
I saw that everyone got out of the way, Zhao Qi walked over first, followed by Chu Feiyan, only to see Chu Feiyan's yellow clothes covered with blood, and he was still holding a long sword dripping with blood in his hand. Everyone was shocked when they saw this.
I saw Zhao Qi come to the front of the people over the crowd, pointed at Chu Moyang and said sharply: "This person killed the king and killed his father, the heavens are intolerable, the people and gods are angry, and he can entrust the heavy responsibility of a country to this person!" ”
Chu Moyang looked gloomy and did not speak.
"Is there any evidence for the queen's words?" Zuo Yuan said with a serious face, his sharp eyes swept around the faces of the people present.
Zhao Qi snorted coldly and said slowly: "As early as a few months ago, when His Majesty first became ill, the palace was strange, His Majesty's body has always been healthy, why did he suddenly get sick?" But because the imperial physician did not find any abnormal samples, the palace did not track down, but recently, His Majesty's good times are sometimes bad, and the palace has interrogated Imperial Doctor Shen who has been seeing His Majesty overnight, and Imperial Doctor Shen confessed that he was instructed by the prince to add chronic poison to the medicine that His Majesty takes every day, because the amount of each time is very small, so even other imperial doctors are difficult to find anything abnormal. She paused, then took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, looked at Chu Moyang and sneered: "This is Imperial Doctor Shen's confession!" Because His Majesty has been unconscious some time ago, the palace is afraid of the prince's power in the palace, so he has not taken out this confession! ”
