Chapter 522: Supporting the Child

The news of Emperor Jingxing's death seemed to be a huge flying stone from outside the sky, which directly smashed the Jingzhao Dynasty to pieces.

The emperor died? They heard the news right, right?

When the court officials heard the news, they couldn't help but be in a trance, wondering if it was a daydream, and they didn't know how to react.

Zuo Liangzhe, the minister of supervision, moved faster than all the courtiers. At the first moment when the news came, he hurried into the palace.

The minister of the prison state, and the servant of the door, of course has the right to enter the palace overnight, and there is still such a situation, of course, it is Zuo Liangzhe who is sitting inside and outside the imperial city.

When Zuo Liangzhe rushed to the Zichen Palace, he saw that the lights in the Zichen Hall were bright, and the queen Zuo and all the concubines were kneeling in front of the dragon bed, crying loudly.

On the dragon bed, Emperor Jingxing lay peacefully, looking sickly and white, no different from when he was asleep. It's just that there is no heaving in the chest, and there is no trace of breath.

Shang Taiyi and other imperial doctors of the Shang Pharmacy were pale, more like a dead man than Emperor Jingxing. They were dug up in their sleep, and when they heard the news of Zichen Palace, they were so frightened that they couldn't even wear official uniforms.

Dragon Rider Bintian!

So suddenly, so suddenly it doesn't seem real. And the imperial doctors have accurately diagnosed the cause of Emperor Jingxing's collapse: poisoning!

Hit some unknown poison! Didn't know what it was all about.

In the middle of the night, the chamberlain saw that Emperor Jingxing seemed to be inappropriate, and hurriedly went to ask for a doctor in a panic. But before the imperial doctor arrived, Emperor Jingxing roared "ah" and ...... It's going to be a big deal!

"Immediately imprison all the attendants and palace maids in the palace! Imperial Physician Zhou and Imperial Physician Wang were ineffective in diagnosis and treatment for the emperor and were immediately imprisoned! For the rest, wait for the rest of the courtiers to come, and then execute! ”

Zuo Liangzhe saluted the Zuo family and other concubines, and immediately said so. As soon as he spoke, more than a dozen people rushed into the door of Zichen Palace. It seems to be Jin Wuwei's clothes, but it is not the group of Jin Wuwei who were guarding outside the gate of Zichen before.

The original batch of Jin Wuwei, after Emperor Jingxing collapsed, was simply messy. They were responsible for guarding Emperor Jingxing. However, now that the emperor has died, they don't know what's going on.

This is a capital offense of dereliction of duty! In the face of absolute imperial power, more than a dozen Jin Wuwei stiffened, were tied up by the guards brought by the Empress Zuo, and imprisoned in the side hall of the Zichen Palace.

"My lord, I have wronged ......"

"My lord, you have been wronged......"

Suddenly, the sound of shouting and crying. It sounded in the Zichen Palace. The two imperial doctors, Zhou and Wang, were still immersed in fear, and even forgot to cry.

"Do as Lord Prison says at once! Passing on the will of the palace, the emperor will make a great trip, and the country will be in great trouble. Instantly. The palace is under martial law! No one is allowed to enter or leave the Imperial City without the will of the Imperial Palace. The Jinwu guards will not act without the will of the palace! ”

By this time, Zuo had already stood up and wiped away his tears. Shen Sheng said. She looked sad, but her eyes were extremely resolute, and there was even a hint of murder.

It was such a queen who ordered the staff to kill the palace maids and chamberlains of the entire Chonghua Palace. No one dares to oppose such a person when he is angry and majestic.

Moreover. There is nothing wrong with Zuo's words. Now, the emperor is in a coma, the queen mother is in a coma, and the palace is in chaos. The queen, as the most respectable person, gave orders, and everyone subconsciously followed.

When Wei Yanqing, the general of Jin Wuwei, and the rest of the courtiers felt that the Zichen Palace, the situation in the Zichen Palace was already completely under the control of the Zuo clan and Zuo Liangzhe.

The imprisoned chamberlains and palace maids, as well as the two imperial physicians of Zhou and Wang, all committed suicide in fear of crime; The dozen or so Jin Wuwei were also ordered to be killed by the angry Empress Zuo.

The first time that he knew that Emperor Jingxing had died, none of them could leave their lives.

Now, in the Zichen Palace, those weeping concubines have already returned to the halls, and now, there are still crying Zuo clans, as well as Zuo Liangzhe and a group of Jinwu Zuo Guard soldiers.

"How could the emperor die? In addition to the two imperial doctors Zhou and Wang, what about the rest of the imperial doctors in the pharmacy? Wei Yanqing looked at Emperor Jingxing, who was motionless, and only felt that his heart was dripping blood.

The emperor died, which he could never have imagined. However, it appeared right before his eyes. The emperor died, so what should Dayong do? So what about these courtiers?

This was the first thing Wei Yanqing thought of. No matter what the reason for the emperor's death is, the emperor has already died, and there is something more important in front of them than investigating the cause of the emperor's death.

When a person dies, he is dead, and when the emperor dies, he is also dead, and the rest, who is alive, is the most important thing.

The emperor collapsed into the sky, this is something that cannot be changed no matter how angry and investigated. However, the government of Dayong cannot be chaotic, and the world of Dayong cannot be chaotic!

This is the first thing that any responsible courtier will think of. Even Wei Fuli, Zuo Yan, Zheng Diheng and others, who arrived later, all had the same idea.

When the world was in chaos, the emperor died, which was almost an unbearable loss for Dayong. It's just almost, because there is still a master in the Dayong Palace.

Empress Zuo and the Prince Rui she gave birth!

Emperor Rui has not yet been in a hundred days, but he is the only bloodline left by Emperor Jingxing, and the only orthodoxy of the Dayong royal family!

"The emperor died, too suddenly, and there was no will left. What do you think, ministers? ”

It was Zuo Liangzhe who asked. His official position is higher than that of Wei Yanqing and others, so when he asks this question, he just brings up this topic, and he doesn't really want to listen to their opinions.

Wei Yanqing, Wei Fuli and others, looking at the Empress Zuo who was crying extremely sadly, and Zuo Liangzhe with a sad face, no.

The emperor collapsed and left nothing. In this world, only the Empress Zuo and Prince Rui are the most respected. The Zuo family, is it the idea of supporting the young master and the government behind the scenes?

Is it the Zuo family who killed the king? Wei Yanqing and other courtiers unanimously had this guess. However, they had no evidence. The imperial physician of the Shang Pharmacy Bureau has already reported the cause of Emperor Jingxing's death: sudden cardiac arrest. The sudden arrest is related to the previous sudden coma and sudden awakening, and the emperor's interior has been completely dilapidated.

Just now, all the imperial doctors of the Shang Pharmacy Bureau answered like this, of course, except for the two imperial doctors Zhou and Wang, who had committed suicide in fear of sin.

"Previously, the emperor decreed that his subordinate Zhongzuo Liangzhe was the minister of supervision. This palace doesn't understand political affairs, and the things that stand up to the front are up, so please decide Lord Zuo! Dayong, I will entrust it to your family......"

Queen Zuo said with tears, and before she could speak, she changed her voice and said coldly:

"If you are the secretary of the family, dare not do your best, dare to have a heart of disobedience. This palace will definitely invite the royal law to stabilize this dynasty! ”

Zuo's eyes swept over Wei Yanqing and the others. In front of the important ministers of the court, her momentum did not lose half a point.

The so-called royal legal discussion refers to the fact that after the death of the emperor and before the new emperor was established, the empress of the main palace and the empress dowager of the current dynasty joined forces and had the power to depose the courtiers.

The meaning of the Empress Zuo was very clear to the courtiers. Even if Wei Yanqing and the others are unwilling, but where the imperial power and law are located, they can only do what the Zuo family wants.

Against the imperial system, not every courtier has the insight and courage of Shen Huashan.

Three days later, the bell in the middle of the palace struck nine times. Immediately, the major temples in Jingzhao City rang nine bells.

It's a mourning note. At this point, the news of Emperor Jingxing's death came out of the palace.

Jingzhao ordinary people, after hearing these nine times, no matter what they were doing, they all knelt down subconsciously. From Shifu Street to Xianghe Street, from Jixiang Lane to Beidao Lane, you can hear large and small cries; In front of every house, white lanterns and white flags were hung, and the city was full of vegetarian food.

National mourning, the world is sad.

They only experienced this kind of thing once last year, and they still vaguely remember the process and experience. Now, once again, the time is too short.

For the courtiers, what they faced was not just this mourning. After the funeral, a will came out of the palace, which was the common will of Kunning Palace and Shouning Palace.

The will is very simple, it is the disposition of the court after the death of Emperor Jingxing.

"There is a great calamity in the country, and the monarch is taken away. The emperor's death was too sudden, and after the consultation of the royal family and the ministers of the court, Prince Rui was appointed as the new emperor. With Zuo Liangzhe, Wei Fuli, and Chu Yan as the ministers of Zuo Gu, the ministers assisted the new emperor wholeheartedly, and all military and political affairs were carried out in accordance with the instructions given to extend the great Yongguo Zuo. ”

Prince Lirui is the new emperor, and the prince Rui who is not yet satisfied with the day is the new emperor of Dayong!

This will was not at all surprising to the courtiers of Jingzhao. Emperor Jingxing only left the bloodline of Prince Rui, and the only one who could inherit the throne was Prince Rui. (Well, at this moment, the courtiers don't remember that Concubine De also gave birth to a princess.) )

No matter how small the baby is, it is also the bloodline of Emperor Jingxing and the heir of the royal family.

With Zuo Liangzhe, Wei Fuli, and Chu Yan as the ministers of the state, it is also expected. Minister Tuogu, the power and status are no worse than the three princes and the three orphans! These three people will be the ones who will govern Dayong in the future.

The courtiers listened to this decree in the Xuanzheng Palace. I couldn't agree on a question in my heart: kneeling down to call the emperor to a little milk baby is really unacceptable.

In Kunning Palace, the night was already very late, but Queen Zuo did not sleep. She had already changed into plain clothes, and even the finger guards that had always adorned the orbs had been replaced with plain colors.

Zuo's armor gently swiped across the white banner on the table, repeating it several times. Chunxi on the side, seeing Zuo's actions, hesitated whether to speak.

"Hang it up." Zuo Shi stopped his movements and said. She removed her finger guard as well, but stroked it a few times with pity.

Thanks to it, she was able to silently drop the poison on Emperor Jingxing; Thanks to the mother and son of Empress Dowager Rong and Emperor Jingxing, Emperor Jingxing was able to touch the poison in the hands of Empress Dowager Rong.

From then on, she no longer had to worry about being deposed, and she no longer had to worry about her emperor being disliked.

This eternal world is already her and the emperor's!
