Chapter 302: Brothers Meet
At this time, the palace maid beside the Queen Mother begged to take the Queen Mother away, Yan Hao looked coldly at the back of the Queen Mother who was still indignant, and a trace of guilt appeared in her eyes. And Sima Hongyan looked into the distance as usual, as if the person scolded by the Queen Mother just now had nothing to do with her at all.
Yan Hao peeked at Sima Hongyan more and more times, and wanted to glance at her from time to time, especially Sima Hongyan's performance was extraordinarily calm, so that Yan Hao could never guess what Sima Hongyan was thinking in his heart.
What Sima Hongyan did today can be said to have been thought of by Yan Hao in all aspects, and even what Yan Hao didn't expect she thought of, and did it well, making Yan Hao feel that she had really ignored this Sima Hongyan before. It seems that she is not only good-looking, but also bold, and her mind is not ordinarily meticulous.
Suddenly, Yan Hao thought of something, rode down from the high platform, and walked to Sima Hongyan's side. Lan Shuang didn't know what Yan Hao was going to do, staring at his actions with a frosty face.
Seeing that Yan Hao had arrived at his side, Sima Hongyan turned his head and asked, "Lord Wang!" Can I help you? ”
Yan Hao said: "After today's incident, do you have any plans?" I mean, if I make it to the throne, it's all your work, what reward do you want? ”
Sima Hongyan smiled and said indifferently: "As long as the prince can let me go and don't trouble me, I will be satisfied, where do I dare to ask for any reward?" ”
Yan Hao said: "Miss Sima is really too humble, with your ability, no woman in the world can be around you." You can convince Yanzhen to abdicate alone, although this king doesn't know how you did it, but this king still admires you very much. As long as I can sit on the throne tonight, the queen is yours, what do you think? After speaking, Yan Hao stared at Sima Hongyan's expression.
Sima Hongyan still had a calm expression, and replied: "The prince is in love, how dare I climb the position of the queen?" I think Miss Lan Shuang is more suitable, she does not hesitate to sacrifice herself for the prince, and the prince should not live up to Miss Lan Shuang's sincerity! ”
Yan Hao said: "You and this king know very well what she wants in their hearts, do you think this king will let her get her wish?" What if you untie the king's clothes? That also depends on whether the king has her in his heart. But this king is a little tempted by you now, stay by this king's side in the future, this king guarantees that you will become the highest woman in Yanling in the second half of your life. ”
"It's a pity, Lord Wang!" Sima Hongyan said: "What I want is not these, please forgive Hongyan for being difficult to obey." ”
Yan Hao looked at Sima Hongyan, who categorically rejected him again, and felt extremely depressed in his heart, the woman in front of him always likes to work with him, even if she does things for him, she is forced to do so, which makes Yan Hao's thoughts about her a little heavier.
However, Yan Hao wanted Sima Hongyan to be his queen half out of appreciation for her, and the other half out of personal selfishness. Even if he became the emperor, Yanling was not in line with the people, and many things had to be rearranged, if he could get Sima Hongyan's assistance, many things would be twice the result with half the effort.
A rebel leader came on horseback at this time, dismounted in front of Yan Hao, knelt down and said, "Report to the prince, the ministers and ladies have all left the city and have gone east without stopping." ”
Yan Hao let out a soft "um" and looked back at Sima Hongyan. Sima Hongyan understood, and immediately handed over the three holy decrees in his hand. Yan Hao caught it, opened it one by one and looked at it again, and after confirming that it was correct, in addition to giving way to the one and putting it in his arms, he threw the other two to the leader, and said: "Take these two holy decrees out of the city and announce them to the garrison surrounding the capital." The leader immediately took it in his hands and took the command.
Yan Hao said loudly to the rebels: "The imperial city is ours!" Except for the soldiers defending the city, everyone else has entered the palace with this king! The rebels shouted with a shout, revealing great joy in their hearts, as if the glory and wealth had arrived at hand.
Sima Hongyan said on the side: "Lord Wang! I'm done with my business, can I leave? ”
Yan Hao said casually: "You can't leave yet, you go into the palace with this king." There are some things that the king needs to use you! ”
Sima Hongyan's eyebrows were slightly raised, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he said with a puffed appearance: "Lord Wang! How can you talk and not count? ”
Seeing Sima Hongyan's strange appearance, Yan Hao couldn't help but laugh, and was even more reluctant to let her go, and said, "When did this king say that he was going to let you go now?" There are still things that have not been resolved, so let's go into the palace with this king! When the king succeeds in his accession to the throne, he will let you go, but for now, you must stay with the king. ”
Looking at the guards following behind him, Sima Hongyan snorted and stopped speaking angrily.
Yan Hao led the rebels into the imperial city and went straight to the palace, leaving the rebels guarding along the way. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the palace, Yan Hao felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart, and he didn't expect that he was only one step away from Yan Ling becoming emperor tonight.
In the past, the palace with many forbidden troops was empty at this time, and the majestic palace was like a giant standing under the night at this time, and anyone who walked into it would be intimidated by its momentum.
Before coming to the main hall, Yan Hao dismounted first, tidied up his clothes, and stepped up the steps very solemnly. Although he rebelled and usurped the throne, he was still in awe of the Yan dynasty and did not dare to blaspheme.
Lan Shuang followed beside him, a little proud at this time, and her slightly raised chin seemed as if she was already the queen of Yanling. Sima Hongyan followed not far behind her, and her expression without any emotion made her look extraordinarily deep.
When I entered the main hall, I saw that Emperor Yanzhen and his princes were gathered at the throne, and everyone's faces were sad and solemn.
Yan Hao walked forward slowly, and Sima Hongyan looked at him from behind, feeling that every step of this rebel prince was extremely heavy.
Hundreds of guards followed behind, but the hall was extremely quiet, and the royal majesty made them feel extremely oppressive as soon as they walked into the hall, and every movement involuntarily slowed down and added awe.
Yan Hao walked under the high platform where the throne was located, he looked at Emperor Yanzhen on the stage heavily, and Emperor Yanzhen also looked at him. Both of them didn't say a word, and the atmosphere seemed very weird.
In the end, Emperor Yanzhen spoke first: "After so many years, it's really hard for you!" You must hate me, don't you? ”
Yan Hao was silent for a moment, and then said, "What's the point of you telling me these things now?" "Talking between brothers, Yan Hao no longer calls himself the king.
Then the two fell silent again, a long silence.
It was Emperor Yanzhen who spoke, and he asked, "What do you want to do with me?" ”
Yan Hao seemed to be hesitating how to answer this question, when the brothers didn't meet each other, what he thought about was to put Emperor Yanzhen to death, and one mountain could not accommodate two tigers. But when he really met face to face, he felt that although Emperor Yanzhen had put him under house arrest for so many years, he did not harm his life, and he still allowed him to be an idle prince freely, which was good to him.
However, the struggle for imperial power has always been ruthless, and Yan Hao only hesitated for a moment, and then replied categorically: "I will kill you!" ”
There is nothing surprising about this result, Emperor Yanzhen's face was still a little cold, and he asked again: "What about these emperors of mine, they are all your nephews, and they have never threatened you, will you let them go?" ”
Looking at the princes who were glaring at him angrily, Yan Hao replied quickly this time: "If you cut the grass, you have to get rid of the roots!" ”
Emperor Yanzhen smiled bitterly and said, "Okay! Very good! You really don't have any affection left. ”
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, which startled everyone in the hall. Yan Hao turned his head in shock, only to see that the huge door of the main hall was closed by someone, and the huge and wide door panel was still trembling slightly.
The rebels who were blocked inside and outside immediately stepped forward and pulled one after another, but who knew that the huge temple door did not move at all.
Yan Hao glanced at it twice and immediately understood, turned back to Emperor Yan Zhen and said, "It turns out that there is a mechanism on this door, but I have never heard of it." It seems that you have put a lot of effort into preparing for this day! ”
Although he was trapped in the main hall, Yan Hao's panic only appeared for a moment, and then he immediately recovered his demonic appearance.
There were about a hundred rebels who were brought into the main hall, and there were only more than ten Emperor Yan Zhen and his prince on the opposite stage, so Yan Hao was not worried about the ten-to-one confrontation.
The rebels outside the gate combined with the strength of dozens of people failed to push the gate in the slightest, and immediately someone shouted: "Go find the siege pile!" Go find the siege stakes! But before anyone could answer, suddenly there was a sound of "bang, bang, bang" above his head. The rebels didn't know why, they all looked up, but there was nothing but darkness, and the voice continued.
Just when everyone was wondering, a raindrop suddenly fell on their heads, pouring everyone all over their bodies. All the soldiers are strange, why does it rain in the dark way?
Among them, a few clever soldiers faintly felt that something was wrong, wiped the rain from their faces and sniffed it under their noses, suddenly came to their senses, and shouted like crazy: "It's wine, quick!" Throw the torches away! ”
In the panic, the hundreds of people at the door were stunned by this sudden cry, and each of them now had a burning torch in his hand, and a few soldiers immediately threw the torch to the ground as soon as they were nervous. The soldier who shouted immediately regretted that he had spoken too succinctly, and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers who threw down the torches: "You are crazy! Throw it into the distance! ”
But it's too late!
The wine that had been sprinkled in the sky fell on the torch in the air, and there was no major threat except for a few "zizi" sounds that made the flames of the torch jump a few times. But the wine on the ground was already wet due to the continuous spilling in the air, and the torches that were thrown to the ground instantly ignited the ground, and a blue line of fire spread with a "whirl", and the fire burned at the feet of the rebels in front of the door.
As soon as it encounters an open flame, a chain reaction is immediately formed, and the alcohol that falls on the soldier is also attracted by the fire at the same time.
This time the soldiers were even more panicked, and several more torches fell to the ground, and many of them were ignited, and immediately let the fire surround them. The rain was still falling, and more and more people were surrounded by fire, and they were running around, and many of them were ignited by being hit by their companions.
Hundreds of burning people screamed and scurried around, slapping desperately on their heads, but how could the fire that had already burned be easily extinguished? The front of the main hall had turned into a sea of fire, and the soldiers who had been lucky enough to avoid it were running away at this time, lest they be touched by these firemen who had lost control.
