Chapter 294: You Still Have to Quibble?
As soon as these words came out, the hundreds of officials and ladies in the palace were panicked and rebelled? That's a big crime to turn around, and every time the king changes, a group of officials are beheaded and dismissed, and what can really stand is the big family that has been passed down from generation to generation, what should they do?
At this moment, many people are wondering whether to take this opportunity to express their heartfelt feelings, but if it is not a rebellion and they are on the wrong side again, the result can be imagined.
Zhao Kun, the head of the Zhao family, got up and walked to the queen's side, looked at the expressionless dead soldiers at the door, and thought extremely indignantly about how to clean them up after the crown prince ascended the throne:
"The queen mother is the mother of a country, and the prince is the prince of a country, you are so rude, you are obviously appointed by a traitor, colleagues, how can we sit idly by and ignore it at this moment?"
The officials who had already reached an agreement with the Zhao family took the opportunity to stand up and join the team of lobbying hundreds of officials: "Yes, if there is no chaos, how can we be placed under house arrest, at this time, we must rush out as soon as possible to protect the emperor." ”
"Yes, the emperor is blessed with all the heavens, and he will definitely be fine. It's just that the situation is critical at this time, so let's ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give an order, after all, we can't do without presiding over the situation. ”
"What the two adults said is reasonable, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has both ability and political integrity, and is the emperor's most preferred heir, so we naturally have to obey the dispatch of His Royal Highness the Prince."
Zhao Huiying turned to look at the officials who had stood up one after another, with a smile on her face: "Ladies and gentlemen, the safety of the emperor is the most important thing now, let's find a way to find the emperor first." ”
She had already told Xiao Jingran that if the emperor was willing to write an edict to abdicate to the crown prince, he would be stunned and left for his life, and if he was unwilling, then he could only be blamed for not knowing the times.
Zhao Kun was excited, at this time, he could almost touch the upcoming success, thinking of the scene of the prosperity of the Zhao family after the crown prince ascended the throne, he couldn't control the expression on his face, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were smiling:
"The queen mother, Weichen and the others will definitely listen to the queen's teachings, but I don't know if there is any rebellion among the people present?"
As he spoke, he swept over the officials who were sitting still like a mountain with a grim face, these people were unwilling to attach themselves to the prince, and it was inevitable that there would be branches, so it was better to solve it once and for all as soon as possible.
Listening to his words, Zhao Huiying looked at the silent officials: "We are here to go out to save the emperor, but the adults don't speak and agree, is it really as the Zhao family master said, and secretly colluded with the rebels?" ”
"Queen Mother, although you are the mother of the country, you can't reverse black and white alone, someone at this door is guarding and not letting you out, is someone rebelling? That's ridiculous. ”
"Yes, and the harem can't interfere in politics, even if there is really something, it is the business of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the mother is too lenient."
Zhao Huiying turned her head sharply to look at the military department secretary who spoke: "The military department secretary, I remember that you had a good relationship with Prince Yi's mansion before, and you have to thank Princess Zhaohua for your wife's safe birth......
She didn't finish, but the threat in her tone was already self-evident.
At that moment, there was a sudden silence outside.
Zhao Huiying's eyes trembled suddenly, and she didn't have the patience to argue with these officials anymore, so she said directly: "If you support the prince, then everything is easy to say, if you have malicious intentions, then you will be like a rebel who is a traitor to the nine clans!" ”
As she spoke, she lifted her feet and was about to walk out. The sword in the dead man's hand flashed, only to hear the sound of brushing, and the tip of the sword brushed against Zhao Huiying's cheek, and the cold sword aura made her cheek hurt violently:
"You, you really dare to make a move with this palace, this palace wants to kill you!"
"Who are you going to kill?" A low, angry voice rang out word by word.
Hearing this voice, there was a sudden silence in the hall, and then the expressions were different.
Zhao Kun was so frightened that his legs were weak and he knelt on the ground, sweating like pulp, like a puddle of mud, and there were only two words left in his heart: "It's over".
Zhao Huiying's face was pale, the nine-tailed phoenix on her head swayed violently, and the whole person was speechless as if her tongue had been cut.
The dead man at the door saluted in unison: "See the emperor." ”
Baili Qingcang had blood stains on her body, and her cold eyes were staring at Zhao Huiying, as if she wanted to see her heart through her beautiful skin: "Empress, who were you going to kill just now?" ”
A layer of cold sweat appeared on Zhao Huiying's back, she quickly reacted, and wanted to step forward to support Baili Qingcang, but was stopped by the dead man reaching out and could only kneel down on the spot: "Your Majesty, you're fine, it's really good." ”
Baili Qingcang hooked the corners of his lips mockingly, and asked meaningfully: "It seems that the queen is extremely worried about my safety?" ”
"Yes, the emperor is the lord of all peoples and the husband of the concubines, how can the concubines not worry about the emperor." Zhao Huiying raised her head, looking at the emperor with a cold face with earnest eyes, she only felt that it was extremely difficult to say every word, and her heart was dripping with hatred, but she had to cleverly defend herself and flatter, when had she been so humiliated.
Baili Qingcang seemed to have heard something extremely funny, walked to the first place in the hall and sat down under the protection of the dead, looked at Zhao Huiying who was kneeling at the bottom, and only felt that why didn't he see it before, this is a snake and scorpion woman wrapped in beautiful skin?
"Oh, it turns out that the queen just now had to break out because she was worried about me, and I thought you were in a hurry to see if I was dead?"
Zhao Huiying's heart was so flustered that she had to bite the tip of her tongue fiercely and calm herself down with pain: "Your Majesty, your words are too damning, the concubine only hopes that the emperor will live a long life and live a long life, live a long life and be healthy, how dare she have such a disrespectful idea." ”
Baili Qingcang sneered, and suddenly overturned the table in front of him to the ground, and the cups and bowls on the table shattered to the ground, so shocked that the hundred officials in the hall knelt down and did not dare to make a sound:
"Until now, you're still pretending to be deaf and dumb with me? Zhao Huiying, you are the queen who was carried into the palace by the Feng Yuan through the Chengqian Gate, you are above 10,000 people under one person, but you are still so greedy! I have established the crown prince, and the throne will be his, but you are still not satisfied, and you actually conspired against the Zhao family, what a bold man! ”
Zhao Kun, who fell to the ground, trembled like chaff, and immediately crawled to the front when he heard Baili Qingcang's words, crying with tears on his face:
"Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't know about this matter, it's all the queen's idea, it's the queen's mother who said that if she wants to survive, she will help the prince get the throne in advance, and Weichen disagrees with it very much, but although the Zhao family is mainly Weichen on the surface, they actually obey the queen, Weichen is a puppet, please let the emperor know it!"
Zhao Huiying's chest churned with blood: "Big brother, you ...... You ......" She never thought that Zhao Kun was so useless, and before the emperor could say anything, he revealed everything.
Zhao Kun only cared about kowtowing vigorously, and after a few knocks, blood was coming out of his forehead, but he didn't dare to stop: he didn't want to die, he didn't want to die at all!
Baili Qingcang was furious: "Zhao Huiying, your eldest brother has come out to identify you, what else do you have to say?" ”
"Your Majesty, the concubines don't even have the heart to rebel, how can they do anything rebellious, there must be something else hidden in all this, please let the emperor know it." Zhao Huiying knew that the general trend was gone, but she didn't want to be willing to die, she could only try her best to quibble at this time, the people of Biyun Pavilion and Qingtian Pavilion were extremely clean, as long as the emperor couldn't find evidence, he couldn't convict her.
"If you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears, Zhao Huiying, I didn't expect you to give up, come here, bring Princess Wenhe up." At this time, there was still a fluke!
Qingque and Hongling carried Princess Wenhe, Shen Ninghua followed, Baili Junyi stood beside Shen Ninghua, and several people walked slowly into the main hall.
Zhao Huiying's chest ached: "Even if Shen Ninghua and Baili Junyi are alive, that Bu Tinghe is still alive?" What the hell is going on, why didn't the people of Biyun Pavilion and Qingtian Pavilion do anything? ”
When Bu Tinghe saw the queen, she struggled and was about to pounce over, her expression was like a demon: "Queen, you actually sent someone to kill me, you are so vicious, what kind of enmity do I have with you?" ”
"What are you talking about, Hongu doesn't understand."
Bu Tinghe looked at Baili Qingcang anxiously: "Your Majesty, it is the people sent by the queen who want to kill me, and she has two forces under her, one is Biyun Pavilion and the other is Qingtian Pavilion...... If it weren't for my fate today, I would have been killed by the people hidden among the maids in Biyun Pavilion. ”
Soon, the leader of the Dragon Scale Army also rushed over, holding a few tokens in his hands: "Back to the emperor, when I was cleaning up the rebels, I met a few people who swore to resist to the death, and they have been killed by the minions, this is the token found from them." ”
Looking at the token engraved with Biyun and Qingtian, Baili Qingcang threw it in front of Zhao Huiying: "Poisonous woman, what else do you have to quibble?" ”
Zhao Huiying's straight body finally couldn't support it, and she fell to the ground suddenly, looking at the blood-stained token in front of her, she only felt that her eyes were blood-red, and she couldn't restrain herself from spitting out a mouthful of blood: "Poof!" "It's over, it's really over this time.
Baili Qingcang turned his gaze to the prince, who had been silent, his gaze intertwined with resentment and heartache, which was complicated and indescribable. Although he was disappointed in the Zhao family and the queen, and secretly pulled out these two parties, he never wanted to shake the position of the crown prince, and even secretly paved the way for the crown prince to succeed to the throne.
The prince has always been respectful and filial to him, and he also appreciates the prince's talents, and thinks that he is the most suitable candidate for the prince, but this child was led astray by his mother.
After being silent for a long time, Baili Qingcang finally spoke: "I want to abolish the queen!" I want to abolish the prince! ”
The queen raised her head suddenly, and she finally burst into tears: "Your Majesty, all this is the attention of the concubines, and it has nothing to do with the prince, he doesn't know anything, please let the emperor know!" ”
The crown prince Baili Jinyi knelt on the ground, and when he heard this, he stepped forward directly to support Zhao Huiying: "Queen Mother, you don't have to say it, the son is guilty, and the son also pleaded guilty, please punish the father!" ”
Shen Ninghua looked at the prince's calm face, her eyebrows moved slightly, and a trace of deep meaning flashed in her eyes: Baili Jinyi, how easily he admitted his mistake?
