170. Plot
The atmosphere of the scene was frozen for a while, and there was a tendency to break out.
Qin Tiance's eyes were sarcastic, and he sneered: "Is there anyone else who wants to stand up?" "I swept my eyes around, and if there were really people standing in the ranks of the two kings one after another, if I hadn't found out these lists a long time ago, I am afraid that there would really be a coup d'Γ©tat today. And most of the people left behind by the hustle and bustle were Wenchen, except for Zhou Da, the secretary of the military department, who watched from the sidelines.
Ning Xiang was so frightened when he saw this situation that his face was completely pale, is this going against the sky? But he didn't dare to come out to reprimand, or Yan Chengxiao took a step forward and shouted angrily: "Are you all going to rebel?" Helping to abuse? β
Qin Tiance looked at the two kings and the rebel ministers who had rebelled against him, and then at the queen mother with a smug expression, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Ah Rui, it seems that I am alone today." King Rui sneered three times, "Rebellious ministers and thieves, also want to rebel?" β
"Ari, why are you so dead-headed? Do you have to help him? Qin Haoshuo, who has always been low-key and forbearing, finally spoke, his eyes shining, "Qin Tiance, do you have today?" Back then, the king was defenseless and fell for your tricks, but this time the king is coming back, so you can be arrested. β
Qin Tiance's face was majestic and proud: "It's up to you?" I can win you once, and I can win you a second time. At this time, King Rui had already raised his internal force and shouted: "Where is the Praetorian Guard? β
"My subordinates are here!" Out of nowhere, a chorus of roars was heard, and then a group of black armor poured in from outside the hall, surrounding all the ministers in the hall. Another group surrounded Prince Nanshao and Prince Xiliang for protection, and asked the two to move outside the palace, Nan Yuechen only glanced at the situation on the field with a solemn face, and followed the guards out of the palace gate silently.
The Queen Mother was shocked: "You have already armed?" "How, how did he know they were going to act today?
"Hmph." Qin Tiance snorted coldly, casually threw a book from his sleeve to the ground, and said angrily: "This is the account of the Queen Mother's income and expenditure in recent years, just turn it over, you can see that the Queen Mother has countless private public funds, dare to ask the Queen Mother, where are you using these public funds?" β
The Queen Mother stared at the booklet with the blue cover on the ground, obviously that Father-in-law Liu was killed by her, and the account book was also burned, and those evidences had long since disappeared. How did the Emperor get another account book? No, he must be lying to her, it is impossible to get the account book, and he calmed down and said, "The mourning family doesn't know what you are talking about." β
Yan Chengxiao had already picked up the blue booklet and opened it, and read it aloud: "In the thirtieth year of Emperor Jing, two thousand taels of silver were used for the renovation of Ningde Palace, and in the thirty-fourth year of Emperor Jing, five thousand taels of silver were used for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet...... Queen Mother, do you want to read it again? "A cadre of ministers are all in an uproar, this number is really incredible, Emperor Jing is the title of the first emperor, which means that during the reign of the first emperor, the queen mother has begun to collect money, and its purpose is self-evident.
The Queen Mother's face turned pale, but she couldn't find a rebuttal. Qin Haoshuo saw that the situation was not in his favor, and immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Don't listen to his nonsense, today you and the others have all stood up with this king, with Qin Tiance's heart, everyone present will not end well!" If I don't fight hard, then I'll all die! Listen to the king's orders, kill! With a wave of his arm, the man had already rushed forward with a horizontal sword.
Knowing that what the two kings said was reasonable, and there were many loyal to the two kings, the generals immediately drew their swords at their waists and killed the Praetorian Guards. Suddenly, the queen mother slapped three palms in a row, and out of nowhere appeared more than a dozen palace people dressed as eunuchs, these are the dead soldiers she secretly arranged, and the defense is such a moment, because of their joining, the fight on the field is no longer one-sided, but has become evenly matched.
Qin Tiance stared at the battle below, his face was full of murderous aura, Han Xiao did not leave him an inch, only he knew that the emperor could not use force at this time, he had to protect his safety. With a scream, the purple guards also joined the battle, and the Praetorian Guards poured in more and more, the generals were obviously unable to resist, and the group of dead soldiers raised by the Queen Mother were lying on the ground more and more, so King Rui shouted: "If you don't want your family to die, put down your weapons!" β
The generals were stunned, and someone roared: "What did you say? β
"Don't you know? Just outside the palace, your family members have been captured one by one, if you are still obsessed, then the emperor can only deal with it in the name of rebellion, and the nine clans will be in trouble! β
This time, everyone's faces changed, they were willing to take great risks to rebel for the second king, and never thought that they would harm their families. Qin Haoshuo saw that everyone's expressions were relaxed, and immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Don't fall for his tricks!" I'm going to be scolding you! This shock brought back the minds of the generals, and they all showed suspicion.
The corners of Qin Tiance's lips hooked slightly, and he glanced at Han Xiao, only to see Han Xiao roar, and immediately pressed in a woman in Chinese clothes from outside the hall, Qin Haoshuo's face changed slightly, and Ning Xiang had already exclaimed: "Ruoshuang!" This woman is really the second princess Ning Ruoshuang, although she is a prisoner, the look on her face is not confused, she raised her eyes and glanced around, and then lowered her eyes.
After the traitor saw that the second princess was arrested, he couldn't hold back anymore this time, and whoever had no wife and no children couldn't bear to watch them die like this. As long as one person put down the sword in his hand, the others couldn't get through it, and put down the sword one after another, and in the end, only a few die-hard and homeless generals were still standing beside Qin Haoshuo.
King Rui stood still, with his sword in his chest, and said idly: "Second brother, if you still remember that the reinforcements from two miles away from the capital rushed into the imperial city to rebel, you can put it down, the 10,000 rebels have been ambushed." β
Qin Haoshuo was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, but it was extremely desolate: "Good, good, good!" Either Caesar or nothing! Since I, Qin Tianshuo, dare to gamble, I will also lose! This king has already exhausted his organs, and nothing has been missed, but he didn't expect that you Qin Tiance was even more cautious, the city government is so deep, this play has already been arranged, and this king will come to play it. β
Qin Tiance was silent, he was right, for today's play, he had been planning for a long time, and he had waited too long. In order to completely uproot these chaotic ministers and thieves in the court, whether it is open or dark, it is even more important to hit the queen mother and the two kings in one blow, and never let him return to the fiefdom to become a threat to himself.
Qin Haoshuo stared at him, knowing that the general trend had gone, and another failure was a failure, and suddenly said unwillingly and viciously: "Qin Tiance, do you think your throne is very stable?" I'm afraid the ministers here don't know it, last night the Fengran Palace was washed in blood, and the Qing Concubine was plundered by the spies of other countries, and within a hundred days, she will definitely appear on the city tower of another country, and at that time, this king wants to see what you will do? Do you gamble with the country, or shoot her to death with an arrow through the heart, and never suffer in the future? β
Qin Tiance's eyes cracked, and he rushed to him from the palace in anger, grabbed his collar, gritted his teeth and asked, "Is it you?" "It was actually him who secretly colluded with foreign enemies and washed the Phoenix Dye Palace in blood, in order to take advantage of his turmoil to initiate civil strife! No wonder that Shen Mo was able to sneak into the palace without knowing it, it turned out that he and the Queen Mother were taking care of him inside.
"So what nationality is Shen Mo? Where is he going? I couldn't control my composure anymore, and I asked urgently.
Qin Haoshuo looked at his demeanor, laughed, and said with bad intentions: "Qin Tiance, you shouldn't expose your weaknesses in front of others, just like before, it's good to let this king not find weaknesses with a pure heart and few desires." Now everyone in the world knows that your Qin Tiance's weakness is her, and Concubine Qing is dyed blue! In the end, it was already a loud shout, and it could be heard clearly both inside and outside the hall.
After successfully seeing Qin Tiance's face become ugly, he said sadly: "What's wrong with this king? This throne originally belonged to this king, and you used the word 'Jing' to press the name of disobedience to me, take my throne, change my name, and expel me to the bitter cold land, everything I did today was forced by you! Speaking of this, he struggled to send out a palm, Qin Tiance Rao reacted quickly and immediately dodged, or was swept by his palm wind, forced to retreat a few steps, and there was a fishy sweetness in his mouth, and he couldn't hold back so that he didn't vomit blood.
Qin Haoshuo's eyes flashed with surprise, his palm was the last blow of the strong crossbow, he didn't think that he could really hurt him, but seeing this situation, did the secret words just now disturb his heart and make him defenseless? It seems that Ning Ranqing is really extremely important in his heart!
Qin Tiance's angry voice resounded throughout the hall: "Come on, send the anti-thief Qin Haoshuo into the prison, and choose a day to behead!" β
"No!" The Queen Mother cried out in pain and wanted to rush forward, but she was surrounded by the Praetorian Guards and couldn't move a step at all.
There were already guards who stepped forward to detain people, and suddenly the second princess, who had been silent, shouted: "Wait! Because of her special status, she is not only the princess, but also the daughter of Ning Xiang, and the sister of General Ning, so Qin Tiance waved his hand to stop the guards for the time being.
I saw Ning Ruo shuangyingying bowing down in front of him: "Your Majesty, can you allow the wife to say a few words to the prince?" β
Seeing that the emperor did not object, she stood up from the ground, walked to the second king with light steps, looked up at his expression, stretched out her right hand to stroke the scattered hair on his forehead, and said lightly: "Lord Wang, Ruoshuang can only send you on your last journey." Although the voice was soft, many of the people present were martial arts practitioners, and they could still hear it, but the princess had a deep affection for the prince, and she couldn't bear to see him fall into prison.
Suddenly, hearing a muffled snort, Qin Haoshuo stared at the woman in front of him in disbelief, and the others didn't know what was going on, because Ning Ruoshuang blocked everyone's sight with his body, but he could see that the face of the second king was extremely wrong. King Rui's expression was solemn, and he immediately stepped forward to push Ning Ruoshuang away, but saw Qin Haoshuo's heart ** into a dagger, so deep that it was not topped, his shocked face changed greatly, and everyone was stunned by this situation.
I only heard the Queen Mother's bitter howl: "Shuo'er! The person had already fallen down, and was held by Feng Gu, and his eyes were full of despair. Gone, nothing, her son!
The knife was inserted very deeply, and in an instant, blood gushed out like a spring, falling all over his body, Qin Haoshuo couldn't support it anymore and fell to the ground, lying on his back, he stared at the woman in front of him, and asked in a trembling voice: "Why...... Miscellaneous...... Is it? "I never thought that I would die at her hands.
A smile appeared on Ning Ruoshuang's delicate and beautiful face: "Lord Wang, you can finally belong to me, and you will no longer be taken away by others." Looking back at the shocked emperor over there, he smiled like a flower: "I killed him for you, and your throne can be saved." It's a pity, what about your beloved? I'm afraid I'll never get it back. Meaning something, after successfully seeing the man's pale face, he smiled even more happily.
She took two steps towards Qin Haoshuo's side, and fell on him in the next second, her hand gently caressed his face, and said weakly: "Lord Wang, I am here to accompany you, you will not be lonely on the Huangquan Road, you will be accompanied by you......" The breath gradually disappeared, closed his eyes, and there were blood stains at the corners of his mouth.
Qin Haoshuo stared, his eyes were red, but in an instant, he also died of anger.
Han Xiao stepped forward to investigate, and finally stood up and shook his head and said, "The princess has taken the poison. β
Ning Xiangxiang seemed to react before he reacted, and exhaled painfully: "If Shuangwu'er! "I wanted to pounce on him, but I was stopped by the guards on the side, and without the emperor's order at this moment, no one and others could approach the thief. The Queen Mother, who was paralyzed on the ground, no longer wailed, only stared at that place in a daze, although Qin Haoshuo was exhausted, but his eyes were not closed, and he was actually dead.
This is really beyond everyone's expectations, how can Qin Haoshuo be called a generation of heroes, his scheming and scheming are outstanding, where would he know that the final fate would be so miserable.
Qin Tiance was silent for half a salary, and ordered: "Bury with the gift of the prince." The other group of rebel ministers will all be taken down, and tomorrow they will be beheaded, and the disaster will not affect the family, and the family members outside the palace can be released. and removed the title of queen mother, demoted to an amateur, and imprisoned in the meditation courtyard. β
The officials present were convinced and shouted "Long live" three times.
A forced palace ** has finally come to an end. But there are still a lot of things to do, and after cutting off the queen mother's line, there is still one party left. But Qin Tiance will no longer worry about it, they all say that the way of monarchy is to measure the government, originally the Queen Mother and Zhou Da are mutual checks and balances, and now the Queen Mother is the hard bone, and it is not a problem to take down Zhou Da, just a little trick, Zhou Da handed over the post of secretary of the Ministry of War, and turned to his confidant.
So far, the internal strife in the government has been cut off, but it has been ten days later.
In the past ten days, Qin Tiance has been extremely long, and he is terrified. He could have laid out the chaos carefully without the slightest mistake, but the people sent out to track it did not return for a long time, and Qin Haoshuo's words before his death became a thorn in his heart, and he even had nightmares every night.
I always dreamed of the battlefield, the army, the tower, and then she was dressed in white and was tied to the front of the two armies, and a black arrow flew out of nowhere, straight into her heart. When I looked back at the direction where the arrow was fired, I found that the person who drew the bow was actually myself!
I had the same dream day after day, and then I couldn't sleep all night with my eyes open.
He couldn't accept it, he would kill her! How could he have killed her? But in his heart, he was asking, if that day came, she was held on the city tower by the enemy and threatened, what would he do?
Jiangshan and her, how does he choose? And, Dye Qing, where are you?
The author has something to say: This volume is over, the next volume is the Jianghu volume, the Queen Mother Mengli and others will narrate it again and explain other things, but there will not be too much pen and ink.
