Wang Dengshi, who was beside Prince Yi, stood up and said, "Old eight, you are not yet deaf and dazzled. What I heard was obviously Prince Rong Wu Yuyan, how do you say that it is the king of Dong'an County. ”

"Seventh brother, my younger brother is not deaf and dazzled, it is my brother who is deaf and dazzled, just now the emperor clearly said that he would give up the throne to the king of Dong'an County."

"Old eight, you are talking nonsense, the emperor is obviously saying that he will give up the great position to Prince Rong Wu Yuyan."

"Seventh brother, you probably heard it wrong, I clearly heard that I was giving up the throne to Wu Yuhong, the king of Dong'an County."

Under the corridor of the Zichen Palace, the carved dragon is lying on the couch, and the emperor is already dying and dying soon. A faint breath came out of the festering mouth, and then exhaled without a moment. Prince Rong had no time to argue with his two uncles, lying beside the emperor, holding the emperor's thin and festering hands. He muttered in his mouth: "Your Majesty, I am the sixth brother, you open your eyes and take another look." ”

Prince Yi and Prince Zhuang knelt on the ground and quarreled, and they didn't give in to each other, like two angry lions.

"The palace listened to it very well on the side, and the emperor wanted to give up the throne to the king of Dong'an County."

The youngest of the brothers, Yuheng Little Prince, stood up and said to Concubine Dong'an in a childish voice: "Liu Niangniang, I heard that the emperor's elder brother passed the throne to the sixth brother, not the third brother. ”

The words of a child, the words are conclusive.

The murderous aura in Concubine Dong'an's eyes was already about to devour this sudden little thing.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiuting uncharacteristically jumped like thunder, and retorted: "You are plotting rebellion and usurping the throne. The emperor kept saying that he would give up the throne to Prince Rong. ”

At the last moment, Concubine Dong'an had no time to take into account the offense of Yuheng, the tenth son of the emperor. Not to be outdone, he roared: "Zhang Xiuting, you mad dog." What high position did Prince Rong give you? How dare you falsely proclaim the Divine Decree? ”

The court sentenced the emperor to pour a few spoonfuls of hanging soup. Then several imperial doctors gathered around the couch to show their powers. Some pierce silver needles, some press the middle of the person, and some point acupuncture points......

The gradually hot sunlight of Ziwei Shrine reflected on the emperor's scarred face. After drinking a few sips of ginseng soup, after a long time, the emperor gradually eased up. His mouth was wide open, and he couldn't spit out a word.

The court judge said dejectedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I gave you a needle, and if you exert yourself, the words will come out of your mouth." ”

The minister, who was kneeling in the distance, watched the emperor dying, and then listened to the words of the imperial doctors, and understood in his heart that if the emperor woke up, he would also return to the light.

Sure enough, after listening to the words of the imperial doctor, the emperor slowly opened his mouth, looked at Concubine Dong'an and Prince Yi, pointed at them tremblingly, and said word by word: "Wolf...... Child...... Wild...... Heart......"

Zhang Xiuting also knew that this was the emperor's last breath, and knelt down in front of the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, don't talk about them!" Explain the important matter to the ministers clearly. Your Majesty! ”

The emperor nodded desperately, his eyes greedily looking at the carved beams and painted pillars above his head, wanting to reach out and touch the eaves of these palace walls again, but the world was running out of time for him.

"I cede the throne to Prince Rong...... Military...... Yuhiko! ”

Zhang Xiuting squeezed around Prince Rong, leaned in front of the emperor, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you will pass the throne to Prince Rong, Your Majesty, you will pass the throne to Prince Rong." ”

The emperor nodded with all his strength, but he was too tired to exert any strength.

The effect of the Qi Pill began to work gradually, and the emperor tried hard to open his eyes, but at the end of his life, he didn't even have the strength to lift his eyelids.

The heroic boy who once shot the moon with a bow and a bow entered the twilight of return prematurely in the morning light that had just begun in life. In the end, even the strength to breathe gradually disappeared......

The road of life came to an end, and the emperor finally closed his tired eyelids.

In this life, he is the grandson of Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the son of Taizong. Emperor Yong'an, Wu Yuxian, and Yong'an 11th year June 13, at the beginning of noon, died under the carved dragon corridor of Zichen Palace.

The temple name is 'Mu', and the nickname is 'Ren', and the world is known as 'Emperor Mu Zongren of the Great Zhou'.

The warm summer breeze gradually began to scorch the ministers in the square. The emperor has closed his eyes for a long time. The imperial doctor kneeling on the dragon collapse had long known it, but he didn't dare to speak.

Prince Rong kept holding the emperor's hand until he slowly lost his temperature, and then he realized that his younger brother was not asleep.

"Your Majesty! Emperor! ”

This shout stopped the tears in Zhang Xiuting's eyes, and he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his already tear-soaked sleeves, and motioned to the imperial doctor to ask the emperor for a pulse.

The Imperial Physician was very clear about the situation in front of him, but he still seriously put his finger on the emperor's festering pulse. Four or five imperial doctors, after taking turns to diagnose the disease, opened the floodgates and released the tears that had already been gathered.

"How is the emperor?" Zhang Xiuting asked solemnly.

A few imperial doctors, who only cared about tears, had no time and no courage to answer.

The judge shook his head in despair.

Prince Rong lay on the emperor's body and howled. Zhang Xiuting took the opportunity to whisper in Prince Rong's ear: "Lord, hurry up and take the emperor from the secret passage!" ”

One sentence woke up Prince Rong. Prince Rong suddenly rose from the ground and said to a group of ministers: "Emperor Daxing has already driven to the west, now hurry up to pack up and dress Emperor Daxing, and dress for funeral." ”

Zhang Xiuting stood under the command of Prince Rong, bowed to the ground three times and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”

When hundreds of ministers were about to echo the voice, Concubine Dong'an and Prince Yi said in unison: "Zhang Xiuting, you deceived the monarch and disrupted the government, and tampered with the last orders of the Daxing Emperor." ”

Concubine Dong'an shouted at the guards in the distance: "Take down the rebellious minister and thief Zhang Xiuting!" ”

The guards in the square rushed over to help.

Zhang Xiuting put it in Prince Rong's ear and whispered, "Prince, go quickly!" ”

Prince Rong didn't dare to delay, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up and carry the emperor into the main hall." ”

More than a dozen eunuchs hurriedly carried the carved dragon couch into the Zichen Palace.

With the sound of the door closing, the strife under the porch was locked out of the hall.

Without further ado.

Steal the sky and change the day, and the darkness is Chencang.

The 60,000 troops of the Jingnan camp were intercepted by Fan Yongping and nearly 30,000 were left, leaving less than 30,000 people, and surrounded the Ziwei Shrine at the beginning of the day.

30,000 people immediately searched everywhere, but they could not find the whereabouts of Prince Rong and his mother, the Queen Mother. Unable to pull the two bloody corpses, he prevaricated: "The two bodies are similar to the King Rong and the Queen Mother, they must be fleeing in disguise." ”

Concubine Dong'an has already blocked all exits in the palace, even if these two are not, she will not panic. Catch turtles in the urn, nine take ten steady.

Zhang Xiuting and hundreds of loyal and daring people fell on the steps of the Zichen Palace. Bright red blood flowed to the kneeling and mourning ministers.

The king of Dong'an County stood under the corridor of corpses and personally announced: Wu Yuhong, the king of Dong'an County, was the fourth emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he chose an auspicious day to ascend the throne, and changed the Yuan on New Year's Day of the following year.

A mighty coup d'état, with the departure of Emperor Daxing and the unknown life and death of Prince Rong, came to an end at night.

Hundreds of ministers kneeling in the square of Zichen Hall watched as the king of Dong'an County forced the palace to usurp the throne. I dare to be angry in my heart but I dare not speak. The matter has come to this, how can you stop the car with the mantis arm?

Looking back at the thousand-year-old history of dynasties, almost every dynasty has had a coup d'état that usurped the throne and seized power.

Father and son are out of harmony, brothers turn against each other, emperors and queens kill each other, swords and swords, ghosts and ghosts.

Qin Shi Huang died violently during his foreign tour, and the crown prince Fusu was killed by his younger brother Hu Hai, who was supported by Zhao Gao as Qin II.

Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty concubine Wang, secretly murdered the crown prince Liu Rong, strangled the prince's mother Li Guifei, and teamed up with his younger brother Tian Wei to help Liu Che ascend the throne, so that there was a talented Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty

Emperor Yan of the Han Dynasty, the empress of the Han Dynasty, colluded with the powerful minister Wang Sheng, abolished the prince Liu Bao, and established Liu Yi, the marquis of Beixiang, as the new prince, Liu Yi died violently the following year, and the Yan family did not mourn, and together with his brother Yan Xian, he once again supported the new monarch to the throne.

Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, killed his father and brother, and established himself as emperor.

There is also the famous Xuanwumen Change, Tang Taizong Li Shimin forced his biological father to abdicate and assassinated the eldest brother and younger brother.

Empress Wei of Tang Zhongzong, together with Princess An Le, killed her husband Zhongzong, and established the throne of Emperor Di.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Taizu died violently, and Taizong ascended the throne.

All the bloody rain overnight is exactly the same as in front of you. Hundreds of ministers watched the sun waning and silently accepted everything in front of them.

Under the corridor of the Zichen Palace, the concubine of Dong'an pulled the king of Dong'an into the main hall to worship the emperor of Daxing, which proved that she was orthodox, but was sternly rejected by the king of Dong'an.

"Mother, the emperor died of the plague."

"Son, if you don't worship Emperor Daxing, how can you be justified?"

"Mother, Emperor Daxing has died, what are we doing with these famous halls?"

"Son, these are for the hundreds of ministers below."

"Mother, they are not stupid, we are usurpers, what is there to worship. When I met the seventh brother, I didn't know what to say. ”

Concubine Dong'an was silently messy in the dusky twilight wind, and there was nothing more desperate than the powerlessness of the successor.

"Son, it is precisely because of the unjustifiable name that he has to show others more."

"Mother, you really cover your ears and steal the bell, those people and monkey spirits, even if we look like it, they still slander and slander behind their backs."

Concubine Dong'an didn't let her eyebrows shave her eyebrows, and she was able to kill Zhang Xiuting with her own hands, but she had to bow her head to her son, and endure the troubles and persuasion in her heart.

"Son, this is the rule, if you don't worship Emperor Daxing, how can you inherit Emperor Daxing?"

The king of Dong'an shook off Concubine Dong'an's hand, squinted angrily and said, "Mother, I am your own son, what should I do if I am infected with the plague?" Are you my mother? ”

Concubine Dong'an was so angry that she kept crying, and it wasn't until this moment that she understood: What is Adou who can't be helped? What is the mud that can't hold up the wall?

The rough linen filial piety clothes can't cover the blood stains on the collar of Dong'an Taifei's brocade robe.

Anger rose in the heart of Concubine Dong'an.

"Son, all of our work has not come easily, and my mother has been running for you for more than 30 years."

"Mother, you tell me to fight for the prince, I fight for the prince, you tell me to fight for the throne, I fight for the throne. But you told your son that he couldn't live, and his son really had no way to obey his fate. ”

The heavy night was wrapped in countless undercurrents, and the stars were moving in the sky above the Ziwei Divine Palace.

"Son, if you don't kneel down to the emperor, your name is not right."

The king of Dong'an was still crying with a sad face. Small lives are more important than orthodoxy.

It was dark clouds covering the moon at night, and the palace was pitch black. A few dim lanterns shook rapidly, passing through the dense ministers, past the howling of ghosts and wolves, and rushed to the main entrance of the Zichen Palace.

"Mother, it's not good!"

Concubine Dong'an's desperate and resentful gaze was pulled out of her son and transferred to Prince Yi, who was sweating profusely.

"What's wrong?"

"Mother, it's not good."

"What the hell is going on?"

"Jin Shifeng of the Jianzhang camp broke into the palace with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses."

Concubine Dong'an's tense heart suddenly relaxed, her eyes rested, and she said arrogantly:

"What's there to panic about."

Concubine Dong'an didn't know that Gu Jingxiong had become a ghost.

Gu Jingxiong's blood has sacrificed the banner of Jianzhang Camp.

"Niangniang, they are here to force the palace."

Prince Yi was obviously so frightened that he couldn't speak a little bit.

Concubine Dong'an was angry with the king of Dong'an County, and when she saw Prince Yi, she was startled, and her face could no longer be calm.

"Wasn't the Jianzhang Camp Forced Palace arranged by us before?"

Prince Yi finally sorted out the clue from the incoherent panic, and in a word, said:

"Niangniang, Gu Jingxiong is dead."

Concubine Dong'an was shocked, and she actually stumbled back, not caring about Gu Jingxiong's life or death, and asked urgently: "Where is the Jingxi camp?" Zhou Baicheng, what about Liu Zhenshan? Hurry up and inform Wu Anhou to call them for reinforcements, hurry, hurry! ”

Prince Yi didn't know when he shed two lines of old tears, and said at a loss: "The concubine asked Wu'anhou to go out of the palace to answer at noon, but now it's all afternoon, and I can't find any trace of Wu'anhou." ”

"Could it be that Wu Anhou went to the camp in Jingxi by himself?"

"I don't know, I hope so!"

"Eighth master, don't be surprised, make the heart of this palace jump suddenly. Jin Shifeng has a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses, and we now have 30,000 in the palace, so it is not a problem to block it all night. Don't panic! ”

"Niangniang, is Jingxi Daying reliable?"

"Nonsense, this palace supports Zhou Baicheng with nearly one million dollars of silver a year, shouldn't he contribute to this palace?"

"My brother is afraid that something will happen again."

"Eighth master, you are too fragile, we have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in our hands, and the Jianzhang camp is only 50,000. What's there to be afraid of? ”

"The more than 2,000 guards stationed in the palace this morning suddenly disappeared under the leadership of Captain Fan Yongping, which is too strange."

"It's okay to go, the future of the province will be big, and the tail will not be big. It's a gang of bandits themselves, and they don't expect their help. ”

"Now that the palace is in our hands, and the remains of Emperor Daxing are also in our hands, even if Prince Rong wants to turn the sky upside down, he can't turn it over."

Concubine Dong'an smiled lazily: "Prince Yi, don't always scare yourself. Hurry up and let the people from the Ministry of Rites discuss the funeral. Tell the world that Emperor Daxing has died. Then quickly draw up the name of the new emperor. ”

"Yes, yes, my brother understands."

"I understand, I will quickly implement it one by one, without further ado, in case of extraneous branches, it will be a disaster."

"Yes, yes, my brother will do it."

The night shrouded the Ziwei Shrine, and in the blink of an eye, it started from the Ziwei Gate, all the way to the south, and the three major halls were hung with white curtains and black tents.

Emperor Daxing has finished his burial, and his pus-stained face can no longer see his once handsome appearance.

The location of the cremation was finally set in the temple in the northwest corner of the shrine. This is the closest place to the Western Heaven of the Ziwei Shrine.

When Jin Shifeng's 40,000 soldiers and horses were preparing to merge with the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Jingnan camp. The other side made peace without a fight. The reason is unknown.

The two marshals stood under the Ziwei Gate and turned hostility into jade silk.

70,000 soldiers and horses surrounded the Ziwei Shrine. The army that searched for the reactionary group of Concubine Dong'an finally found the concubine Dong'an commanded by Yi Qi and the reluctant king of Dong'an in the small courtyard in the northwest corner of the shrine.

The fire dragon more than a foot tall carried the heroic spirit of the Great Emperor and rushed into the endless night sky.

Hundreds of ministers poured water into the small courtyard kneeling. The sound of mourning shook the sky.

Jin Shifeng's roar was drowned in the earth-shaking cry.

The road was so full of water that no one could hear the shouting.

Jin Shifeng stood outside the courtyard and was anxious.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
