Chapter 32: The Praying Mantis and the Yellow Sparrow

Wang Anyu sat on the dragon chair, enjoying the supreme honor, this world is his own, he can only be himself.

Hahaha –

Above the main hall, Wang Anyu's ambitious laughter echoed, which shook people's hearts.

For several days in a row, the imperial throne in the hall was empty, and the civil and military officials below had been moving closer to Wang Anyu's side, always thinking that there should be no other hope.

"Report, the prince has no news in the frontier, I'm afraid~I'm afraid~ I'm afraid that I'm gone~"

Just when the ministers were discussing political affairs together, the spies suddenly ran up to the hall to tell the officials the news, and there was an uproar for a while, which made people panic~

"This~How should I be good~"

"Prime Minister Wang~What should we do~"

"Chitose Chitose Chitose."

There was a chaotic sound all around, and then I don't know who led the way, and they all knelt in front of Wang Anyu at this time, at this time, Wang Anyu wanted to be a savior, and the brilliance on his body was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes, that kind of dazzling and bloodthirsty look, like a devilish smile.

"Haha~" Wang Anyu was happy for a while, as if he had performed the scene in his dream for a long time, without a little hesitation, as if the position had been waiting for him.

It was at the moment when Wang Anyu was about to ascend the throne that he was about to see himself ascending to that position in front of everyone's eyes, soon.

"Prime Minister Wang~ It's been a long time, I've worked hard for you these days."

There was a sound outside the palace, and no one was heard, but the sound resounded in the palace.

"What is this?"

"The prince is back." I don't know who shouted, but the civil and military officials in the audience who originally watched Wang Anyu ascend to that place all turned their heads to look at Xiao Xiaolu who had just crossed the palace gate.

"Yo~ Isn't this the crown prince of our wood country? Just now I was still saying that the prince didn't have any news, but now I see people, His Royal Highness the prince, you should move to Ci'an Palace now, I don't know how the queen mother is now, the queen mother should miss the prince very much. ”

"Wang Anyu, you surround your palace with 30,000 elite soldiers, what are your intentions, do you want to seek power?" Xiao Xiaolu slowly walked up to the court step by step from outside the palace, and stood on top of the court and asked seriously.

It didn't take long, sure enough, Wang Anyu had deployed those tribes, and there was only time left, thinking that there should be a few days before Nangong Jiang would come back from the defeated barbarians, so that even if the prince and Nangong Jiang came back and saw that the country had changed hands, there would be no way to do it.

"Your Royal Highness, why do you say that, the minister just thought that the Queen Mother was bedridden recently, and she had been transferred out with heavy troops to follow Nangong Jiang south. The old minister is just worried about the safety of the Queen Mother, in case the Queen Mother has any mistakes, this is something that Your Highness and I can't afford to bear. ”

Wang Anyu said so, but the people around him understood in their hearts that it was nominally to protect the Queen Mother, but in fact it was under house arrest. The queen mother did not give the power to anyone, and it was possible for Wang Anyu to get the rights, as for His Royal Highness who appeared out of thin air, he just wanted to say something to the outside world.

"You... Is this house arrest? Xiao Xiaolu seemed to be angry with him, and he didn't know what to say.

"Your Highness, you should also go back to the palace to rest, these days, there is a plague in the palace, and the Queen Mother is already weak. The plague in this palace is not something that can be eliminated for a while, in case His Royal Highness is infected at this time, it will not be good, this thing of the court, His Royal Highness is still young, let the old minister assist you. ”

Prime Minister Wang Cheng said without blushing and without a beat, and Li Siyuan, who was on the side, did not speak. Wang Anyu also looked at Li Siyuan, and knew in his heart that he wouldn't say anything.

"Wang Anyu, you are so bold, you are rebelling. Someone dragged him down. Xiao Xiaolu said angrily.

"Your Royal Highness, how can you say that about the old minister, the old minister's heart for Mu Guo can be seen by the sun and the moon, and he has no selfishness. Your Highness, what evidence do you have for doing this? Wang Anyu stood next to Xiao Xiaolu, without the slightest intention of being a monarch or minister, but it seemed that the odds in his hand were in his hands, and he was not a little timid, but even more arrogant.

"Someone's coming, someone's coming." His Royal Highness Xiao has been shouting all the time, but when he saw the soldiers entering the hall, no one stepped forward to take action against Wang Anyu, but he paid attention to His Highness's actions.

"What's the matter, are you planning to rebel?" Xiao Xiaolu said a little angrily.

"Your Highness, it's not that we don't want to do what you want, but this prime minister has military power in his hands, and we are also acting according to orders."

The soldiers above the court can't help it, knowing that His Royal Highness in the court has an excellent reputation among the people, and the men, women and children in the soldiers' hometowns have also received a lot of favors, and they all know it when they see the family letter, but the current situation is really involuntarily.

"You said that Prime Minister Wang has a token in his hand, so Prime Minister Wang, may I ask where your token is?" Xiao Xiaolu saw the soldier's embarrassed look, and didn't know why he said this.

"Your Highness, have you forgotten? At that time, Nangong Jiang went south, and handed over the security of this palace to the ministers to manage and protect, do you say that this token is here for me? Prime Minister Wang continued to say arrogantly.

"Wang Anyu, that day, my imperial grandmother handed over the military power to Nangong Jiang, and after Nangong Jiang went south, it was handed over to General Li Siyuan, why do you say it is in your hands?" Xiao Xiaolu seemed to be drawn out step by step, just waiting for this Wang Anyu to throw himself into the net and step into this bottomless abyss.

"Recently, General Li Siyuan lost his wife at home, thinking that the occurrence of this incident would be a little neglectful of things above the court, so I explained the situation to the Queen Mother before Nangong Jiang traveled, and the Queen Mother let me guard this military power, in case someone in the palace was not well-intentioned."

"Who said that this military power is in the hands of Wang Anyu, and all the soldiers listened to the order and arrested Wang Anyu and other remnants." Xiao Xiaolu took out a jade plaque from him, and the jade plaque had the word soldier written on it in gold lacquer.

"It's... What's going on, Your Highness, how can you use a fake talisman to deceive the soldiers? I'm here for real. And His Highness's piece is just an imitation, if you touch or bite it, is it real? Even if you want to ascend to the throne sooner, you can't do that, Your Highness the Prince. ”

Wang Anyu said as he took out the gold medal from his pocket. With a kind mask and pretending to be an elder, if you don't know that he is inconsistent, it is really easy to be deceived by his appearance.

"You..."

Xiao Xiaolu looked at him very angrily, the soldiers around him are currently only obeying the order to take the brand, even if they are very sympathetic to the prince, there is no way, most of the pro-soldiers let Nangong Jiang take them to fight, and the small part left behind was restrained by Wang Anyu, this passive state really feels powerless.

"Okay, His Royal Highness the Prince, I see that you are also infected with the plague in the palace, the old minister specially asked the imperial doctor to boil a pair of decoctions, drink it first and then go back to the palace to rest. Come and put on the decoction. ”

Wang Anyu continued to make up his story, and a maid in the back served a bowl of black and black decoction. In front of the minister, this is to poison, can you force him to drink it if you don't drink it?

"Prime Minister Wang, who are you?"

The hundred officials in the palace seemed to gradually understand Wang Anyu's approach, and seeing that they were going to put the prince to death on the spot in the court, Wang Anyu would be too bold.

"Your Highness, I advise you to drink obediently, otherwise you won't be better, how can the Queen Mother be good, you say yes, Your Highness." Prime Minister Wang Anyu ignored them, but continued to face Xiao Xiaolu with a little coercion and temptation, openly and secretly asking him to drink this bowl of soup and medicine.

Xiao Xiaolu knew that this bowl of medicine would definitely be greasy, but if he didn't drink it, it would be difficult to guarantee the lives of himself and the Queen Mother.

The hand slowly stretched out, picked it up and slowly approached the mouth, and the whole process was grinding and grinding for a long time... Xiao Xiaolu thought a lot in her mind, and suddenly another group of soldiers wearing clothes of a different color came in in a group.

"Your Highness, your subordinates are late to save your car, please atone for your sins." Coming was Nangong Jiang, who was still on the expedition in the south of the barbarians.

"Wang Anyu and the rest of the evil party put the Queen Mother under house arrest, intending to murder His Royal Highness the Prince, and wantonly spreading the plague in the palace, they should be punished."

Nangong Jiang saw that his own soldiers had surrounded the surrounding Yu Party, said to Wang Anyu, and signaled his subordinates to take back the medicinal soup and all the relevant evidence, in case Huang Anyu continued to play other tricks.

"Lord Nangong, where did you see me doing the above things. Now you should go out to fight the barbarians, how can you leave your post without permission, if the barbarian gang comes to the city by then, then what should we do in the wood country, does this also have to punish the nine clans. ”

Wang Anyu still said unhurriedly, it seemed that he was sure that he would not be what would happen to him, that is, he should sit on top of those 10,000 people.

"And what evidence do you have, I read the prince, and I should rely on this bowl of soup and medicine? Is there any other evidence? Lord Nangong, the charges you said can't be wronged casually, you see that all the civil and military officials are here. ”

Although Wang Anyu was a little panicked when he saw Nangong Jiang rushing in like this, it was also an instantaneous thing, Jiang's was still old and spicy, and he could soon calm down.

"Prime Minister Wang, as for me, you don't have to worry, the Queen Mother has her own decision, and you say that I have no evidence, then you are wrong, Prime Minister Wang, you have to find some smart subordinates next time, their clumsiness will affect your great cause, Lord Li Siyuan has found out all the evidence of their crimes, and now you are like a trapped bird."

Nangong Jiang said with a little yin and yin, it seems that Nangong Jiang is also a person who is ready.

"The Queen Mother has arrived." A's voice shouted out from outside the door, which was harsh for Wang Anyu.

"Isn't the Queen Mother resting? Don't you even get out of bed? Wang Anyu looked at the energetic Queen Mother who walked in with some disbelief, and at that moment, he realized that he had become a lamb to the slaughter, and he had no power to return to heaven.

"Wang Anyu, don't you still admit your guilt?" The Queen Mother used her stern tone to see the pale Wang Anyu.
