Chapter 234: Sudden Change
Liu Jien suddenly fell straight and straight towards Xiao Sui like a wooden man.
"Ahh Xiao Xuan was caught off guard and screamed in surprise, instinctively retreated, and stepped on the back hem of his skirt in a panic and fell backwards, but fortunately he was supported by the palace maid behind him in time so that he didn't really fall to the ground, but he was extremely embarrassed to be helped to stand firmly.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, Liu Jien fell straight at her feet.
"Ah......h
Everyone in the hall was speechless because of the changes in front of them, and they didn't know how to react for a while, and some palace maids screamed.
The five kings below looked at each other, and the nearest Guo Wuwei and Zhao Ting rushed over, Guo Wuwei helped Liu Jien up and called a few times without responding, so he probed his nose and suddenly cried out in a sad voice: "The emperor has died!" ”
Zhao Ting was a foreign minister after all, and he instinctively reacted quickly just now, so he rushed up, but because of his bad identity, he participated too much, so he just stood aside and watched.
I just felt that this matter was strange but it was not good to reach out to check it, so I reminded in a low voice: "It's better for Lord Guo to call the imperial doctor to diagnose it again!" ”
The five kings also gathered around at this time, some looked down and some hurriedly called the imperial doctor.
The eldest prince, Liu Hao, sniffed again, felt his pulse, and finally sighed and shook his head.
The five of them looked at each other with blank expressions, and they were suddenly at a loss for what happened.
But none of them refuted Guo Wuwei's judgment, where did His Royal Highness's ministers dare to squeeze up, seeing the prime minister say this, the five princes did not deny it after inspection, so they believed that the emperor really died like this, and they all looked at each other, and they couldn't accept it for a while, and they didn't know how to react.
Yelu Meng was also stunned, and was helped to Xiao Xuan's side by the personal palace maid on the side, just standing in a daze, although she didn't want to marry him, but since she didn't have a choice, she had to accept it, she never expected that her husband would die before she got married.
Xiao Xuan tidied up her appearance and stood aside, already calming down. Suddenly, his face changed, and he shouted: "How could you suddenly die just now, someone must have assassinated you." Please ask the five princes to strengthen the vigilance of Miyagi to prevent gangsters from causing chaos. ”
was reminded by her that the five kings also came to their senses, and the eldest prince Liu Hao commanded with a cold face: "Second brother, you go out to have a look, and you must guard the palace." ”
"Yes!" The second prince, Liu Kai, hurriedly walked out.
At this time, Imperial Doctor Li, the head of the Tai Hospital, strode over, he was waiting in the courtyard outside to congratulate him on hearing the summons, so he came the fastest, panting and kneeling on the ground to diagnose Liu Jien.
After a while, Imperial Doctor Li shouted: "The emperor is dead!" ”
After verification again, all the ministers in the hall knelt down one after another, crying and lamenting.
Xiao Xuan's mind was racing and thinking about what to do.
Liu Jien is an important chess piece of the Liao State, but it is suddenly gone, and he controls the Northern Han Palace, planning to make him the crown prince as long as his grandson is born, and then poison Liu Jien, and help his grandson to ascend the throne of the Liao State, so that he can completely control the Northern Han Dynasty, and finally replace the two countries, and the two countries are just around the corner.
Sudden changes can only lead to replanning.
She is not the only one who needs to reconstruct.
The eldest prince Liu Hao glanced at the third prince Liu Jian and glanced at him.
The third prince, Liu Kuang, was shrewd and sleek, and he had always been close to Liu Hao, and immediately understood what he meant.
stood up and said loudly: "The emperor died, there is no edict and no imperial heir, according to the order of the royal family, the eldest prince Liu Hao is the most respected and longest." The country cannot be without a king for a day, and this king believes that the great prince should immediately inherit the throne and preside over the overall situation of the court. ”
The fourth prince Liu Xi and the fifth prince Liu Mo also want to compete for the throne, and no one is willing to let go of such a good opportunity.
"Speaking of the king, he is also a prince, and his meritocracy is no less than that of the eldest brother, and this throne should be sat by the king." The fourth prince, Liu Xi, shouted.
The five princes have their own forces and military powers, and no one wants to let anyone, and they have been separated from each other for so many years, and they even fight openly and secretly in private, and no one obeys anyone.
The fifth king, Liu Miao, also shouted: "They are all the princes of the former emperor, everyone has the right, and who is the most respected is not the third brother, you can decide with a word." ”
The third prince, Liu Kuan, smiled, he naturally wanted to be the emperor too. But he is smart enough to know that he can't eat the other four with his own strength, and he has been confirmed for so many years, so he shouldn't be a bird, and watch others fight first to see if there is a advantage to take advantage of.
The eldest prince Liu Hao was short-tempered, looking at the empty throne, he had already red eyes, and he couldn't bear it, and shouted: "Today, the king of this throne is still seated, and if you want to dare to fight, blame the king for not thinking about it." ”
The fourth prince, Liu Xi, is not an idle person, and sneered: "My father didn't give you the throne at the beginning, and you can't sit down today." ”
The eldest prince Liu Hao shouted: "Come on, take down the thief!" ”
Several of his personal guards rushed over to take Liu Xi
"Who dares to see this king?" The fourth prince, Liu Xi, did not back down, shouted and drew the sword in his waist, and his guards also surrounded him to protect him.
Although there were not many people in the main hall of the two parties, they formed a confrontation.
The guards of the forbidden army in the temple did not know who to listen to for a while. They obeyed the emperor's orders, but at this moment, the emperor's bones were lying on the ground and no one cared about them.
When the courtiers saw the chaos, they didn't care about crying and whispering, and they began to talk in a low voice, all of them thinking about how to stand in line so that they wouldn't stand wrong, and the power of each prince in the court was almost very difficult to choose.
Some courtiers ran directly behind the eldest prince, and some courtiers silently retreated behind the other princes.
The pro-Liao faction and the courtiers who did not make a decision retreated to the side to make room, fearing that a real conflict would arise and harm themselves.
Zhao Ting looked coldly at the farce caused by this great change, and looked at Liu Jien lying on the ground alone, and couldn't help sneering and feeling emotional.
A moment ago, the red robe was full of glory, but he died violently in an instant. It was forgotten before the bones were cold, and they scrambled to snatch everything that once belonged to him.
This is the horror of power, the cruelty of human nature.
He shook his head with emotion and stepped aside, disdainful of these people but it is also a habit in the field of fame, fortune and power, this good show is naturally to be watched, and he thought of the evil in his mind.
"It must have something to do with him." Zhao Ting was sure that Han Liao would be able to sit firmly on the dragon chair if he married Liu Jien, and how could the prince of the prison who once controlled everything be willing.
The palace has begun to compete for the throne, and the thousands of courtiers in the outer court of the main hall don't know what happened, but the news of the emperor's death came, and they knelt on the ground and cried.
Xiao Xuan's white face also calmed down at this time, glanced at Liu Jien on the ground, and said loudly: "This palace is too anxious to see all the princes!" Your emperor is still lying on the ground, how did he die and no one cares? ”
Several princes blushed when they heard this, after all, there are envoys from various countries in this hall, and if this is spread out, it will be laughed at.
The eldest prince stepped forward and kicked down Imperial Doctor Li, and asked loudly: "Tell me quickly, how did the emperor die." ”
Imperial Doctor Li said in a trembling voice: "It's a violent death!" ”
"Nonsense!" Xiao Xuan scolded, "I haven't heard that the emperor has any discomfort, there must be a reason for the violent death, is it poisoning or assassination?" You can read carefully, if you dare to talk nonsense, it is a great crime to exterminate the race! ”
Imperial Doctor Li and several imperial doctors who arrived later were all trembling with fright.
"It's a violent death, Weichen...... I don't see anything wrong with it!" Imperial Doctor Li still insisted on saying this with a trembling voice.
