Chapter 1364: A Long-cherished Wish

The disciples of the Tongtianmen walked quickly to the two assassins and touched their necks, where was the pulse? Obviously, the two assassins were dead soldiers, and when there was no hope of breaking through, they both chose to commit suicide by taking poison.

At the same time that the two assassins committed suicide, Jun Shengtian had been captured by several Tongtianmen disciples, and was violently pushed to the ground by everyone, unable to move.

At this time, a female official screamed: "Quickly ask the imperial doctor!"

Several palace maids hurriedly ran out, but there were densely packed and loaded gendarmes standing at the door of the main hall, and the palace maids couldn't run out at all.

A female officer stepped forward quickly and said to Dang and Ziyin urgently: "Two generals, quickly let the gendarmes get out of the way! Your Majesty needs first aid!"

Cai Dang and Ziyin said expressionlessly: "The people in the main hall are all suspected of assassinating the king, and no one is allowed to leave!"

The female officer screamed: "Your Majesty is now in danger, but you two are blocking the palace gate and preventing us from going to the imperial doctor, what do you want?"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the ministers looked at Caidang and Ziyin in unison. The two of them were hesitating, and several female officials and palace maids had already carried Tang Ling over, and everyone shouted loudly to the Dang and Ziyin: "Your Majesty needs first aid, get out of the way immediately!"

He Ziyin subconsciously looked at Tang Ling. At this time, there were six shocking bullet marks on Tang Ling's body, and his body was covered with blood, and the blood was flowing down the placket of his clothes, dripping down, which was shocking to see.

Both of them are battle-hardened generals, and it can be seen at a glance whether one person is fatally injured or not. Tang Ling was shot six times in his body, and several of the gunshot wounds were critical hits, even if people were lucky enough to have a breath now, it was difficult for the gods to save.

The two looked at each other, pondered for a moment, waved to the gendarmes behind them, and shouted, "Let!"

When He Ziyin gave an order, the gendarmes blocking the entrance of the main hall retreated to the left and right, flashing out a passage.

The female officials and palace maids didn't dare to delay for a moment, carried Tang Ling, and ran out quickly. The disciples of Zhongtong Tianmen, Cai Xiao and other ministers also wanted to go out, but the gendarmerie who had just retreated immediately stood up and blocked the door of the main hall again.

Seeing this, Cai Xiao was anxious and angry, and shouted in a shocked voice: "It should be done, Ziyin, do you two think that the old man also has something to do with the assassin?"

"Until the truth is investigated, everyone is suspicious. Ziyin arched his hand to Cai Xiao and said, "Now, please return to your seat and sit down, don't embarrass the last general, and don't make it difficult for the last general." ”

"You...... You are so bold, you dare to put the old man under house arrest, the old man is the first minister, and he should be a dignified ......"

Before Cai Xiao's words were finished, Ziyin turned his head impatiently and said, "Take Lord Cai back to his seat and sit down." ”

Following his order, two young military attachés walked up to Cai Xiao's side, one of them grabbed one of his arms, and couldn't help but say something, dragging Cai Xiao back to his position.

When did Cai Xiao suffer such a grievance, he shouted repeatedly: "Bold! Bold, bold, bold, wait, this is a rebellion!" But no matter how he shouted or scolded, no one paid attention to him at all.

A disciple of Tongtianmen walked up to Caidang and Ziyin and said, "Annoying the two generals to let the gendarmes get out of the way, I will go to protect Your Majesty!"

He snorted coldly and asked, "Are your ears deaf? Didn't you hear what we just said clearly?" Then I'll say it again now, no one is allowed to leave until the matter is clarified, and all of them must stay in the Hall of Peace and stand by!"

The Tongtianmen disciple frowned, and said in a cold voice: "The general seems to have forgotten that Tongtianmen only listens to His Majesty's orders, and your gendarmerie can't control my Tongtianmen's head!"

He laughed and asked, "What if the gendarmerie is going to take care of you now?"

"Bold and reckless is like a chaotic party......"

Before the Tongtianmen disciple could speak, he should have already raised his face and laughed. As he laughed, the hand behind his back suddenly dropped, and in his hand, a short musket was held. Without warning, it was a shot to raise your hand.

Bang! This close and sudden shot hit the eyebrows of the disciple of Tongtianmen. The eyes of the disciples of the Tongtian Sect widened suddenly, and there was still disbelief in their eyes, and the person had fallen straight and upright.

Seeing this, the rest of the Tongtianmen disciples roared angrily, and people covered the spirit armor with brushes, and the spirit sword and spirit sword were raised together.

Before they could make a move, a large number of gendarmes had already poured in from outside, spirit muskets, ordinary muskets, and countless muzzles aimed at the disciples of the Tongtianmen.

He didn't even look at the corpse that fell at his feet, he unhurriedly reloaded the musket in his hand, and said with a sneer: "Tongtianmen does not dare to accept the investigation of the gendarmerie, which is equivalent to being a thief with a weak heart, and now whoever dares to abscond in fear of crime will be killed!"

This big hat that absconded in fear of crime was buttoned down, which made the faces of the Tongtianmen disciples present also change greatly, and the swords raised by the people also involuntarily lowered downward.

Just when everyone in the main hall was left without a master, Tang Mingzhu slowly stood up, walked up to the pedestal step by step, and looked at the blood-stained dragon chair, the corners of her mouth hooked imperceptibly.

She coughed heavily, and said in a shocking voice: "Your Majesty is assassinated, seriously injured and died, the Ningnan region will inevitably be in chaos, and the rebels everywhere will inevitably make a counterattack, the top priority, we need to quickly support the new monarch to succeed to the throne and stabilize the situation!"

As soon as these words came out, the hall immediately fell silent, and people looked at Tang Mingzhu in amazement, and they didn't come back to their senses for a while.

Cai Xiao was the first to react, he was furious, pointed at Tang Mingzhu, and shouted: "The county lord is cautious! Your Majesty is only seriously injured, and the ......sky has not collapsed yet."

"How serious Your Majesty's injuries are, I guess Lord Cai and all of you have seen it very clearly just now!" Tang Mingzhu looked around at everyone present.

The hall was quiet again, Cai Xiao's lips moved, and finally he couldn't speak. Tang Ling was carried out like a bloody man just now, he was shot six times in his body, and he was also a gunshot wound from the spirit gun, where could he be saved?

Tang Mingzhu's eyes were like electricity, and she glanced around the hall twice, as if she was looking for someone, and finally, she looked at Gaidang and Ziyin, frowned and asked, "Where is Your Highness now?"

It was time for He Ziyin to respectfully intervene in Tang Mingzhu and said, "Back to the county lord, during the banquet, Mr. Qian was assassinated, and His Royal Highness has gone out of the palace to visit Mr. Qian's injury. ”

Tang Mingzhu pretended to stomp his feet angrily, and said in a deep voice: "Assassins are rampant and lawless, first assassinated Mr. Qian, and now they have infiltrated the palace and assassinated Your Majesty. The general!"

"The end will be!"

"Immediately ask His Highness to return to the palace and preside over the overall situation!"

"Yes! County Lord!" should respond, and immediately sent his subordinates to find Shangguan Xiu to return to the palace.

He Ziyin is now like a mad dog, he doesn't listen to anyone, he doesn't even pay attention to Cai Xiao and Tongtianmen, but he just obeys Tang Mingzhu's words, obviously, there has been collusion between them for a long time.

Cai Xiao narrowed his eyes and said in a condensed voice: "Even if Your Majesty really has three longs and two shorts, the crown prince should inherit the throne, what is the intention of the county lord to find His Royal Highness to return to the palace now?"

Tang Mingzhu said expressionlessly: "The crown prince is far away in Shangjing, and he has just turned one year old, how can he stabilize the situation in the court? For today's plan, we can only support His Royal Highness to succeed to the throne first, and wait until the crown prince becomes an adult, and then pass on to the crown prince." ”

When Cai Xiao heard this, he almost laughed angrily, let Shangguan Xiu inherit the throne first, and when the crown prince becomes an adult, his throne will already be stable, so it's no wonder that he is willing to pass on the throne!

Besides, even if Shangguan Xiu is really willing to be the crown prince, where is the crown prince still surnamed Tang at that time, he would have changed his surname to Shangguan Xiu a long time ago!

He raised his hand and pointed at Tang Mingzhu angrily, gritted his teeth and said: "You are a thief, you are a thief, you are a thief, you are a ......thief, you are a thief, you are a

Tang Mingzhu said word by word: "Lord Cai, be cautious!"

"Tang Mingzhu, Your Majesty treats you well, but you treat Your Majesty like this, you ...... Don't you forget, you are the lord of Gale County, and your surname is Tang!"

The corners of Tang Mingzhu's mouth hooked, revealing a mocking sneer. Before Tang Mingzhu could answer, a general ran in from outside.

This general was not a member of the gendarmerie, but a corps general of the 11th Army Corps.

After entering the main hall, he saw Tang Mingzhu standing next to the dragon chair at a glance, and the general stepped forward quickly, knelt down on one knee, intervened in the salute, and said: "Yuan Xuan, the general of the eleventh legion, see the county lord!"

"General Yuan, please get up!"

"County Lord Xie!" Yuan Kuan stood up and said, "Report to the county lord, the eleventh legion of our department is now entering the city, and the mansions of your lords, the soldiers of our department have been strictly protected, and they will never let the assassins take advantage of the loopholes." ”

As he spoke, he glanced left and right, arched his hand and said, "Your Excellency, although you can rest assured to stay in the palace, everything outside the palace will be handled by our soldiers!"

Everyone in the room gasped. Their mansion has been protected by the Eleventh Legion? The people looked at each other, and they all saw a look of horror on each other's faces. What kind of protection is this? It's house arrest!

First His Majesty was assassinated, and then the gendarmerie took control of the palace and put all the ministers under house arrest, and outside the palace, the 11th Army put the families of the ministers under house arrest.

All the ministers are human spirits, and now, how can they not see the catty in them? Cai Xiao's face turned pale, he looked at Tang Mingzhu, and stammered: "Yes...... Is that you? no...... It's not you, it's Shangguan Xiu! It must be Shangguan Xiu!"

In people's eyes, Tang Mingzhu is just a child, no one will believe that the whole thing was planned by her, and they will think that Tang Mingzhu is just a cover, and the real mastermind is Shangguan Xiu behind her.

Cai Xiao looked at Tang Mingzhu with a dull gaze, and after a while, he turned his eyes to look at Yuan Kuan, as well as the gendarmerie such as Caidang and Ziyin, the old man was like a deflated ball, his body shook, he sat back on the mat, and muttered: "Dead, my thousand-year-old foundation is dead......

Tang Mingzhu glanced at him and said in a loud voice: "The foundation of the gale will not die. "It's just that the person who is the emperor has changed his surname Tang to his surname Shangguan. Tang Mingzhu has never been proud of his surname, proud, and what the surname Tang has brought him is nothing but pain and suffering.

When she was suffering in the palace, when the princess was eyeing her and could take her life at any time, when she pretended to be crazy and stupid in the palace, and even when Tang Fei threw food on the ground, and she had to learn to lie on the ground like a dog to eat, no one surnamed Tang came to save her, and no one surnamed Tang said a word for her, including her biological father, Pingwang Tang Xuan.

It can be said that Tang Mingzhu hates everyone in the Tang royal family, including herself. When she saw Tang Ling being shot six times and covered in blood, she didn't have the slightest guilt or distress, she just felt happy and revenge.

For hundreds of years, the Tang royal family valued the supreme dragon chair the most, and what she has to do now is to crush the dream that the Tang royal family has passed down from generation to generation.

No matter who is the emperor, she doesn't care, as long as this windy country is not in the hands of someone surnamed Tang, her long-cherished wish will be fulfilled.

Tang Mingzhu knew very well in her heart how deep Shangguan Xiu's feelings were for Tang Ling, and she also knew that after she did this, even if Shangguan Xiu successfully put Shangguan Xiu on the throne, he would never let him go, but now she didn't care about these anymore, as long as she could subvert the Tang family, she was willing to pay whatever the price.

In the eyes of others, Tang Mingzhu is the county lord, the minister of parliament, and one of the hottest figures in the court, but only she understands in her heart how much willpower she used to control herself from standing on the court and pretending to be respectful and obedient to Tang Ling.

From now on, she can finally stop pretending, no longer have to face Tang Ling, and no longer have to face anyone from the Tang royal family. At this moment, Tang Mingzhu did not have the slightest nervousness, only a sense of relief.
