Chapter 380: Regime Change
The emperor thought that as long as Li Zhenxiao had not obtained the jade seal, he would agree to his request.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhenxiao categorically refused: "The conditions we said before have been fulfilled by this king, and no matter how many requests we make, this king will not agree." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the knife, put it on Xiao Lingwei's neck, and said to the emperor: "This king doesn't have so much patience, say it quickly, if you don't say it, this king will kill one person in a quarter of an hour from now on."
"Let's start with Xiao Lingwei."
The emperor was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Don't hurt Xiao Wu, put down the knife, I will tell you where the jade seal is." ”
Li Zhenxiao put down the knife with satisfaction and stepped forward.
The emperor coughed twice, a little out of breath: "The jade seal is here... The bookcase of Hanyuan Palace... In the dark grid. ”
As soon as the words fell, Li Zhenxiao took people away.
Han Da didn't leave, he was in charge of guarding the Heart Cultivation Palace, at this time, he slowly paced behind his back, walked around Xiao Lingwei, and said jokingly: "Tsk, I didn't expect that the famous county lord with strong martial arts also has today." ”
He stretched out his hand and pinched Xiao Lingwei's chin hard, "How is it, what does it feel like to be a prisoner?" County Lord. ”
"Brute, let go of my daughter." Xiao Linhui rushed over with a fist, but was pulled away by the guards.
Xiao Ling tilted her face to the side with a slight force, broke away from his hand, and then quickly crashed into Han Da, knocking him to the ground.
Facing the stunned Han Da, Xiao Ling stared at him with contemptuous eyes, "Even if I am poisoned, you are not my opponent." ”
Xiao Lingwei's contemptuous eyes completely angered Han Da, and Han Da quickly stood up and was about to go to Xiao Lingwei to settle accounts.
Unexpectedly, a fluttering call came from behind: "Third brother." ”
Han Da's arrogance was immediately extinguished, and he returned to his previous calm and self-contained appearance, smiling, and turned around: "Why are you here?" ”
Han Tong glanced at him lightly, and then walked straight towards Xiao Lingwei: "Sister Xiao, are you okay?" ”
Xiao Ling snorted coldly and turned her back, unwilling to look at them.
Han Tong didn't feel embarrassed, smiled slightly, and ordered left and right: "Take them all down." ”
......
After Li Zhenxiao got the jade seal, he sent Xiao Lingwei and the others back to their respective mansions, but they still sent heavy troops to guard them.
In the afternoon, the sound of the death knell was heard in the palace, and the emperor died.
Everyone burst into tears.
At the same time, the news also came out of the death of the imperial concubine, the fifth prince and the seventh prince.
After that, Li Zhenxiao took out a holy decree, declaring that the Fifth and Seventh Princes had rebelled, and the two died in the rebellion. The emperor considered that he would inherit the throne without a child, so he passed the throne to his cousin.
In addition to the emperor's childless inheritance of the throne to his cousin King Ding'an, the emperor's edict also wrote that the imperial concubine Xiao Wan was the Empress Yide, and Xiao Lingwei was the princess of Yongjia, and personally pointed out that after the emperor's death, Princess Yongjia should be guarded.
Of course, everyone knows that this is a conspiracy, and Li Zhenxiao is the real usurper for power, but under the powerful military sanctions and various threats of oppression, the officials have to give in.
Those who did not give in were placed under house arrest or in their cells.
Two days later, Li Zhenxiao couldn't wait to hold the enthronement ceremony, and at the same time issued an edict, ordering the vassal kings from all over the country to enter Beijing to face the saints.
In order to demonstrate his benevolence, Li Zhenxiao not only chose a special nickname for the emperor, but also rewarded the emperor's concubines, and then moved them to live in the palace outside the city.
The emperor's death was a state funeral, and during the state funeral, all marriage and entertainment activities were prohibited, and the funeral of General Yang was also ignored.
Xiao Lingwei went to Yang's Mansion on the first day and guarded General Yang for a day and a night, and after the emperor's edict came down, she was brought into the palace to guard the emperor's spirit.
When she saw the corpse of General Yang, Mrs. Yang couldn't bear the blow and fainted, and later fell seriously ill and became thinner and thinner.
Yang Huijun was only taken back to the capital on the third day after General Yang's death, and on the mourning hall of General Yang, she was so sad that she fainted from crying.
The establishment of new regimes is often based on the blood of the red. After the emperor's funeral, Li Zhenxiao began a large-scale purge, arresting all those who resisted or disobeyed him in private, or imprisoned, exiled or beheaded.
All of a sudden, there was a thick bloody atmosphere in the capital, lingering.
"Grandmother, it's time to drink the medicine." Xiao Ling walked to the bed with the medicine in her hand, carefully blew the heat dissipation, and when the temperature was right, she fed Mrs. Yang spoonful by spoonful.
After serving and drinking the medicine, Xiao Ling wiped the corners of Mrs. Yang's mouth intimately, and then pulled the quilt up, so as not to freeze her.
During this process, Old Madam Yang's eyes always followed Xiao Lingwei, and when she was done, she asked, "Has the poison in your body been cured?" ”
Xiao Ling smiled at her slightly: "It's almost over, Lan Hai said that it will be completely expelled after taking a few more doses of medicine." ”
Old Madam Yang saw that she was relaxed, but she actually knew very well in her heart that if this poison could be removed so easily, it would not have dragged on for so long, presumably Xiao Lingwei didn't want her to worry, so she pretended to be relaxed.
Old Madam Yang gently held her hand and sighed, "Child, I have worked hard for you during this time. It's really hard for you to take care of your mother again, and to come and take care of me every day. ”
Xiao Ling smiled and shook her head: "It's not hard, this is what I should do." In the past, I was ignorant and had little time to accompany you, but in the future, I will accompany you and my mother every day. ”
Speaking of this, her eyes darkened, if her grandfather was still there, she would accompany him every day.
When Mrs. Yang saw her look, she knew that she remembered General Yang, and her heart was sour, in order to make Xiao Ling slightly happy, she asked Yang Bohan: "Your uncle should be about to arrive in the capital, right?" and your second uncle and eldest cousin, now, our Yang family is really reunited. ”
Because they are stationed in the field all the year round, the Yang family has never been together completely, this time the old general Yang died, they were relieved of their duties, and recalled to the capital.
But at the same time, Old Madam Yang still has deep worries in her heart, will the newly enthroned emperor take the opportunity to take back the Yang family's military power?
In order to cooperate with Mrs. Yang, Xiao Lingwei said with a smile: "Yes, we are going to have a year of reunion this year." ”
At this time, Second Mrs. Yang walked in, she saw Mrs. Yang, did not salute, and cried directly: "Mother, it's been half a month, and Zhi'er hasn't been found yet, what should I do?" Will she already..."
"Don't talk nonsense... Ahem..."Old Madam Yang was anxious for a moment and coughed violently.
Xiao Lingwei hurriedly stepped forward to help her breathe: "Grandmother, don't worry. ”
Second Mrs. Yang was so frightened that she didn't dare to make a sound, lest Old Madam Yang didn't catch her breath, then her sin would be great.
After a while, Old Madam Yang finally regained her composure, and she looked at Second Madam Yang: "Now the capital is in turmoil, and every family and government are holding their tails and behaving with their tails, so it is easy not to go out.
"I've already sent all the people I can send, and I've also said hello to Jing Zhaoyin, and then I can only resign myself to fate."
