237 And the kings entered the king
Queen Zhou did not explain too much to the courtiers, only saying that she would know when the time came. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The courtiers were shocked and puzzled.
Since last year's birthday, the monarch has gradually felt unwell and ill, and in recent months, there have been all kinds of bad gossip in the palace, saying that the monarch is fainting and unconscious, and he is about to die in this month.
The people inside and outside the court have long been unstable, and many ministers are already arguing about the question of who will inherit the new monarch. There are many descendants of the royal family who are qualified to inherit the throne, and the court still debates endlessly.
But the king was now often fainting and delirious, and no one had the right to make the crown prince.
There is no monarch to preside over the government, and the queen Zhou's family is also a woman with no master, and she can't come up with any ideas to stabilize the situation.
But at this juncture, in a blink of an eye, the queen actually wants to hold another birthday for the monarch. That's not all, the palace examination a month later was also held as usual, saying that the monarch would personally preside over it.
This made the ministers stunned for a moment.
After the early dynasty was dispersed, out of the palace, all the courtiers went to the mansions in twos and threes, and gathered together to discuss the matter.
"Monarchs generally hold their birthdays, and they are held every 100 or 50 years. I have never heard of a 251-year-old birthday celebration! The queen suddenly wants to hold a birthday banquet for the monarch, and recruit last year's royal relatives and feudal ministers to enter the palace within half a month.
"Yes! The monarch was seriously ill after his last birthday, and the cause and culprit have not yet been found. The queen's will was so urgent and severe, I am afraid that I have found clues. Someone is going to be attacked! Half a month later, at the birthday banquet in the palace, someone will inevitably have blood spilled!"
"The king of the Tao summons. I am afraid that all the kings and grandchildren will be terrified, and their souls will not be able to give up. Maybe some ministers will be involved and punished. Anyway, the old man didn't participate in any faction, so let's sit and watch the excitement!"
"The culprit of this assassination of the monarch will either be summoned to the palace within half a month and wait to be liquidated by the queen. Either they resist the will and rebel immediately! There is absolutely no second way! No matter which way it is. are equivalent to being forced into a dead end. ā
The queen also said that the palace examination in a month and a half will be presided over by the monarch himself, but will the monarch be able to survive until that time? The monarch is safe and sound, and he can live until two months later?!"
"The queen's trick is quite profound, and it hides a mystery! The birthday banquet half a month later. This is a feast. Killing. He also announced that the monarch would preside over the palace examination in a month and a half later, which was to imply to everyone that the monarch was still there, forcing them not to dare to rebel, so they could only be arrested. ā
"The queen's methods are suddenly so aggressive, there must be someone superior to give her a trick!"
"The old man thinks this matter is strange, who is giving the queen advice?"
"None of our ministers entered the palace to give advice to the queen!"
"Such a sharp wrist, even if it is an old minister of the court. It's very rare to be able to take it out!"
Compared with the discussions of the ministers of the imperial court, the royal family felt panic and murder.
Canglan King City. A corner of the city.
Huge and luxurious Thirteen Princes' Mansion.
In a secret room of the prince's mansion, the thirteen princes and three palace advisers were urgently discussing how to deal with the monarch's birthday banquet half a month later.
The fat body of the thirteenth prince fidgeted, his face was full of horror, and he couldn't give up, looking at the other three old strategists present, anxious, "You guys give me ideas, what should this prince do?"
"Thirteenth Master, this monarch suddenly fell seriously ill and you didn't do it, what are you afraid of!"
The three old strategists were all puzzled.
"My father is seriously ill, of course it has nothing to do with this prince! I'm just an idle prince who is lustful and hunts all day, and I don't want this throne, why harm him!"
"Then what are you afraid of!"
Although the queen Zhou is the queen, she has never had any heirs, only one daughter, Ling Jiaojiao, but their mother and daughter are the most favored by their father. The other princes were born to concubines. She has no affection for the princes, and if she suspects anyone, she will definitely eradicate it mercilessly. Her edict urged all the royal families to enter the palace, and her tone was extremely stern, which was clearly a sign of a large-scale killing!
The father's serious illness must be inseparable from the second, third, and fifth children. Originally, the eldest was the crown prince, but he died early when he was young, and his father never became the crown prince. The three of them have good talents, they were valued by their fathers, and they were sent to other places, and they have long been self-respecting in the past hundred years. But they have not had a chance to ascend to the throne after hundreds of years, and their father still has fifty years to live, so they naturally wish that their father would die early.
A few months ago, this king also received a secret letter from them, saying that he wanted this prince to secretly help them ascend to the throne! I suspect that they have something to do with my father's serious illness, and I have long known that my father will not be able to hold on, and I dare not agree to them.
The queen took the opportunity of the birthday banquet to order all the royal relatives to enter the palace within half a month, which is obviously in a hurry to do it!"
The thirteenth prince said hurriedly.
"But it's none of your business! ā
The three old strategists were confused.
"Alas, my three royal brothers are not easy to mess with, they have been peeping at the throne for a long time, and their subordinates are also strong, there are a number of masters of the Wuhou realm on the "Canglan Haoyue List" alone, and they have already secretly attracted a large number of wings and courtiers!
You think they will be captured? The queen may have caught them plotting to kill her father, and she wants to put them to death at the birthday banquet, and the two sides will definitely fight at the birthday banquet. They'll even force me to take sides!
I, the thirteenth prince, will also be ordered to enter the palace to attend the birthday banquet, can I avoid it? This is the disaster of the pond fish, I only have an old martial artist with mediocre strength, I am afraid that I will not even be able to protect myself! This prince is only afraid that he will not be able to avoid this great calamity. ā
The thirteen princes were about to cry.
The three old strategists couldn't help but be silent, the Thirteenth Master himself was incompetent, and his strength had always been extremely weak.
If the other princes force him to choose a side, this will indeed be a disaster.
Canglan Country.
Fengwan County.
The second prince's mansion.
Many years ago, Ling Feihui, the second son of the monarch of Canglan Kingdom. The second prince was sealed in Fengwan County.
For a long time, I am afraid that even the monarch has forgotten how long it was, at least more than eighty or ninety years. The lord of Fengwan County has changed several times. The palace examination of the imperial court has been held for eight or nine sessions, and the officials have taken office and changed one after another, but this second prince is still the second prince.
If this situation continues, it is estimated that he will be the second prince for at least fifty years. Fortunately, the monarch is already seriously ill and has only one month to live.
A middle-aged man dressed in a royal robe stood in the backyard of the mansion.
His eyebrows were like swords. With a nose like an eagle's hook and a terrifying light in his eyes, he looked up at the snow in the sky. Preoccupied.
Survive this month, and you'll be fine!
More than a dozen martial marquis around stood quietly aside.
Some of them are ministers of the imperial court, some are prisoners of the country, and there are even top ten masters on the "Blue Haoyue List". One by one, the momentum is compelling. The snow has not yet reached you. It has already transpired and disappeared without a trace.
The second prince himself is also a martial marquis.
"Second master, it's almost time, it's time to go!"
There was a beautiful young man standing nearby, holding a robe in his hand and putting it on for the second prince, and said softly with a light smile.
He has a long body, handsome eyes, and is as beautiful as a dream. The beautiful eyes are looking forward to it, and it can be called a city and a country.
This is the demeanor of seductive beings. It's enough to make women all over the world feel ashamed.
His name is Su Yang, a first-class strategist, and he has only been taking refuge in the second prince for less than a year, but he has the trust of the second prince.
"Go to the royal city here, if this prince doesn't die, he will be the king of Canglan! You have followed me for decades, and I will naturally not treat you lightly! Rewards, gifts, a hundred years of glory and wealth, the same and a lot!"
The second prince glanced back at the beautiful man and said lightly.
"The second master doesn't have to worry! The monarch has long been gone, the queen Zhou and Princess Jiaojiao's mother and daughter are just struggling before they die, bluffing and holding on, trying to trick the prince into revealing his flaws. They can't help the prince. A month later, when the monarch died, their mother and daughter were left alone and left to sit still. The real rivals are the third master and the fifth master. The ministers will definitely do their best to eradicate them and help the prince ascend to the Canglan throne!"
"That's right! Inside and outside the court, we have long been full of manpower! At least one-fifth of the ministers have already served our side, both openly and covertly! We have a four-fifty percent chance of winning!"
All the martial marquis said one after another.
"Take the wind and ride heavily and set off! This prince wants to go to the royal city to see what means the Zhou family can come up with to identify the culprit who murdered his father. She dares to indiscriminately accuse this prince of plotting to kill her father, and this king doesn't mind.
The second prince said in a deep voice.
Not long after, the second prince, more than ten martial marquis, and three hundred of the most elite Fengwan heavy cavalry composed of all the same color martial arts lords, rolled up the sky and flew snow, and rumbled and galloped away in the direction of Canglan King City.
Not only the second prince of Fengwan County was rushing to the royal city, but the other three princes and the fifth prince also brought their own elite guards, and all the royal clansmen went to the Canglan Royal City one after another.
Canglan Country, Donglai County.
The county lord Li Zhouying sat in the mansion, looking at an edict that came urgently and entered the palace within half a month to celebrate his birthday, and was silent for a long time.
After the monarch's birthday last year, the monarch began to fall ill not long after, and he couldn't afford to fall ill. The queen supervised the country, and the government of the entire Canglan country was almost deadlocked, but fortunately, there were feudal ministers everywhere to guard it, and it would not be corrupted for a while.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the monarch is being plotted by others, and it is impossible to see it. Far away in Donglai County, you can still feel the chill coming from the royal city.
Today, the queen suddenly asked the royal family and the ministers of the feudal realms from all over the country to go to the royal city to celebrate her birthday, and this posture is to find the culprit to settle accounts.
If you don't get it, a palace battle will break out, and several princes and grandchildren will die. This kind of thing often happens every time the old and new monarchs change.
He didn't care too much about it.
It doesn't matter how many kings and grandsons die, as long as this matter doesn't affect his Li family in Donglai County.
"Hao'er, do you have any dealings with your princes in private?"
Li Zhouying looked at Li Hao, who was standing in front of him, and asked in a deep voice. The only thing he was worried about was that someone in the Li family was behind his back, had deep friendships with other princes in private, and was involved in this palace change.
Li Hao arched his hand and smiled lightly: "Dad, the child has a little friendship with several princes, but they are all normal friendships, and there is no private contact! You've seen it!"
Li Hao's face was very pale.
But it's no surprise that his face has always been like this.
