Chapter 254: Cherry Blossoms Bloom Nineteen
Even if the emperor fainted, he did not escape the fate of being killed. In the chaos, I don't know who slashed at the emperor's body and killed the emperor. The crown prince was only stunned when he knew that the emperor died, and immediately ordered a bloody bath in the palace, not sparing any of the emperor's concubines and children. It's just that the young princes and princesses are gone, and the prince's subordinates have turned out the palace, and the two little princesses and the three little princes have not been found.
"Forget it, the eldest of the five is only three years old, and he can't make waves." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't care about a few younger brothers and sisters, anyway, the older ones who threatened him were killed by him.
The prince took the lead out of the palace triumphantly, and just walked out of the palace gate, an arrow shot head-on, the prince was defenseless, his neck was pierced, and he fell down with unwilling eyes. Ping Tonghe beside him was startled, and hurriedly rushed to the place where the cold arrows were fired, and saw several figures quickly fleeing, turning into Minister Zuo's house and disappearing.
The capital is in chaos.
The crown prince and the people of the Hei family, who were the right minister, killed the emperor and the other princes and princesses, but the prince was killed by the people of the left minister's family, and there were several other families in Kyochu who were killed by the prince's people. In the whole capital, you kill me, I kill you, it's not a mess. Gen-sama and Gen Anquan were all at home, guarding the exits with retainers and guards, and no one was allowed to approach the Gen family. They were very well defended, and no force could get close to within ten meters of the Gen family. Uh- there's a guy.
Yuan Anran jumped off the roof, and the image of the five babies in front and behind him, left and right, frightened the people of the Yuan family. Madame Lanzi recognized one of the children as her nephew, and hurriedly asked the maids to come forward, untie the children from Yuan Anran, and hold them separately.
"You actually rescued these children?" Mrs. Lanzi was pleasantly surprised, her brother at least had a bloodline descendant.
Yuan Anran let out an "ah" and said, "They are young, so it is convenient to leave with them." It's just a few other cousins and cousins, and if you bring them, it's easy to be discovered. ”
"You can't take any chances." Mrs. Lanzi said busily. Although she wants to save her nephews and nieces, she doesn't want her own son to take risks.
"Uh-huh." Yuan Anran nodded again and again.
Mrs. Lanzi patted her son on the shoulder, such an excellent son can't marry a wife and have children, and he will be alone in the future, what should he do.
Yuan-sama, Minamoto Anquan, and Saki's sister-in-law walked over, and they all saw the child in the handmaiden's hand. Because they were afraid that these children would cry and expose their whereabouts, Yuan Anran and them all took sweat medicine.
Saki, who had already become a mother, saw five children who had lost their father and mother at a young age, and felt pity in her heart, and said to the maids, "Quickly make the mattress and let the five children rest well." ”
The maids agreed, and returned to the house with the child.
Lord Yuan stepped forward and asked eagerly, "How is it inside the palace?" What's going on out there? ”
Yuan Anran sighed and told everyone about the situation in the palace: "The only royal people who are alive now are these five that I brought back. ”
After hearing this, Mrs. Lanzi burst into tears. She and the emperor are sisters and brothers, and they have a very good relationship, so they are very sad.
"Prince, how can the prince do such a thing? Your Majesty is his father! ”
"Now that the crown prince is also dead, there is even more chaos outside." Gen-sama's head is big.
"Father, the affairs of the five princes and the princess in our family must be kept secret and not leaked out." Yuan Anquan is much calmer and has evolved a lot than when he was younger, like the second Yuan Lord.
Yuan Dadao: "Don't worry, no one will spread the news." It's just — Enron, you brought a couple of kids here, did anyone else see it? ”
"Nope." Yuan Anran shook his head, "I was careful not to let others see it. ”
"That's good." "We pretend that we don't know what the situation is, stay at home with peace of mind, and don't go out to fight with people outside." Wait until the fighting outside has stopped, and then we'll decide what to do. ”
"But can the people outside allow us to get away with it?" Yuan Anquan is worried.
Yuan Dadao: "Don't worry, those people can't let us stay out of it." ”
Yuan Anran nodded on the side: "No matter who wins or loses, it will not affect our family." ”
Mrs. Lanzi sighed: "And we still hold the trump card in our family." ”
The chaos lasted for more than a month, during which many families were wiped out, and the entire streets of Heiankyo were soaked in blood. All the cherry blossoms in the castle have buds, but unlike before, they are mostly pink, and all of them have turned bright red, confirming the rumor that the cherry blossoms have turned red after sucking blood.
A month later, the results finally came out, the original left and right ministers both failed, the family died, and it was the Tachibana family and several others who won. After the results came out, the families approached the Yuan family and discussed the question of who would be the emperor.
In Fuso Kingdom, the emperor is rumored to be a descendant of Amaterasu, the god of creation, the supreme leader of Shintoism, and the symbol of the country, so even if these families win, it is impossible to be emperor, and only people with royal blood can be emperors. And the Genji family is their choice.
The source family is the descendant of the emperor, the earliest ancestor is the emperor's son and daughter, who was given the surname "Yuan", plus Mrs. Lanzi is the emperor's sister, and the child she gave birth to is the most righteous royal person, several major families want to choose one of the two brothers Yuan Anquan and Yuan Anran as the emperor, but the emperor's rights will be limited, and the power is in the hands of several of them. Of course, they will give a part of the rights to the Genji accordingly.
How could Yuan Anquan and Yuan Anran be such puppet emperors?
"We have better candidates." Yuan Anran said with a smile.
"A better candidate?" Tachibana Junya was surprised, "Is there anyone closer to the royal family than your brother's bloodline?" ”
"Yes, my three cousins." Yuan Anran pushed the three little princes out. Being a puppet emperor and prince is the best choice for the three cousins.
"Cousin?" Tachibana Junya paused for a moment to understand, "You mean the three missing little princes?" Are they hidden by you? ”
Yuan Anran nodded: "It's not hiding, it's just rescuing them from the palace." Let them stay in the source house all the time. ”
Tachibana Junya exchanged glances with several other family members, and they all increased their attention to the Gen family at home. Even if the son of the Yuan family is not the emperor, they will share a part of the benefits to the Yuan family. This source family is the real hidden deeply.
