A grand banquet was being held in the palace, and Chen Mingda sat on the throne and raised his glass to the ministers frequently.

Most of the ministers sitting below were Sun Chengwen's protégés, Wu Han was not invited, and his loyal followers were not present.

Ye Yunyang's departure from Dongping Kingdom made Chen Mingda breathe a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.

Halfway through the banquet, Chen Gupeng, Chen Gubai and Chen Guhe's three brothers and sisters came to the scene, Chen Gupeng's face was pale, he had lost to Chen Gubai in the competition for the position of the prince, and he was in a very bad mood in recent days, and his physical condition was getting worse.

Chen Gubai had a confident smile on his face, Chen Guhe's eyes flickered, and from the moment she came in, she didn't dare to look up into Chen Mingda's eyes.

According to the rules, children are to make a toast to the king at a great feast.

Chen Gupeng and Chen Gubai took the wine glass brought by the eunuch and raised their glasses to Chen Mingda, Chen Mingda also raised the glass, and the three of them drank it all, even if they finished toasting.

Chen Guhe relied on the fact that he was a girl, walked straight to the throne with a cup, and asked his father to drink the wine in his cup in a hair-to-smack tone.

Although this behavior was not in accordance with the rules, Chen Mingda still agreed out of doting on his daughter, but he didn't see it, and his daughter quietly pressed the side button of the ring, and the poison pill fell into the cup.

Chen Mingda didn't notice that the wine was poisoned, and drank it all happily.

Chen Guhe's face was flustered, and Chen Gubai glanced at her several times before she calmed down and left with the two royal brothers.

The next day, as usual, the eunuchs and maids who were in charge of serving the king came to the palace with toiletries and neat clothes.

But the monarch did not wake up as usual, the air was filled with a faint smell of blood, and the curtain outside the big bed looked a little messy, and it was vaguely visible that it was also messy inside.

The chief eunuch Yang Jinzhong's eyes rolled, and he pretended to say, "Your Highness, it's time to get up and change your clothes." ”

There was no sound coming from the curtain, and Yang Jinzhong said while lifting the curtain: "Your Highness, the ministers have entered the palace, and you still have to discuss politics with the ministers today...... Ah, Your Highness, what's wrong with you, pass on to the Medic!"

The eunuchs and palace maids were in a mess, and they all saw Chen Mingda bleeding to death on the bed, his face distorted and deformed, and he couldn't see it.

Boom...... Knock Knock......

The gloomy bell came, Ye Yunyang, who was having breakfast, raised his head, and Dongfang Pingtai, who was sitting opposite, put down his chopsticks and said, "This is the death knell, it seems that our Royal Highness the monarch has died." ”

Ye Yunyang continued to eat and said: "It's miserable enough, even if you don't die well, you still die in the hands of your own children." ”

Half an hour later, Chen Gubai came to the main hall surrounded by Sun Chengwen, Dong Cheng and others, and the officials were whispering, the monarch was still alive and well at yesterday's banquet, how can you say that death is death?

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to the Emperor's edict. Yang Jinzhong unfolded a piece of bloody paper, cleared his throat and read: "The widow is immoral, in order to avoid the Dongping Kingdom being cut down, he secretly ordered to kill his relatives, he has the heart to repent but the crime is unforgivable, and he has committed such a heinous crime, and he can only die to apologize." The assassination of the members of the royal family was planned and executed by the widow himself, and had nothing to do with others, the third prince Chen Gubai had a generous temperament and a righteous personality, and could inherit the throne, hoping that the hundred officials could do their best to assist and keep the thousand-year-old foundation of Dongping Kingdom......"

Everyone was surprised, everyone did not suspect the death of the royal family, and many people also believed that it was related to the monarch, but they didn't expect that he killed people with his own hands, no wonder they couldn't find any evidence.

Sun Chengwen cleared his throat and said: "The monarch is dead, even though he has a thousand mistakes, but death is great, please don't dwell on the mistakes he made in his life." Since the first king has a clear call, everyone should serve the third prince Chen Gubai as the new king, immediately ascend the throne to deal with the government affairs, and lead the ministers to handle the funeral of the first king. ”

Someone immediately jumped out and echoed: "That's right, we should first support the third prince as the new king, and everyone kneel down to worship the new king." ”

"The ministers pay their respects to His Highness the King. A group of Sun Group doglegs first bowed down to Chen Gubai, and the rest of the ministers followed suit.

Just like yesterday's banquet of the ministers, Wu Han and the others who supported the second prince were not above the court, and they had already been excluded from the core of power.

Sun Chengwen also knelt down in front of Chen Gubai and said in a deep voice: "Please ask His Royal Highness the monarch to ascend the throne and announce the edict of the new king." ”

Chen Gubai smiled faintly, turned around and ascended the throne, sat down unceremoniously, and said loudly: "The ministers are even, the first king has committed an unforgivable sin, as his successor, it is necessary for the widow to report the details of the matter to His Majesty the Emperor and wait for His Majesty's will. During this period, everyone needs to perform their duties, and all government affairs and military affairs are subject to Prime Minister Sun Cheng's orders, and there must be no mistakes. ”

"Your Ministers obeyed. The officials responded in a loud voice.

Chen Gubai continued: "In the first edict of this king, Prime Minister Sun Chengwen worked hard and made great achievements, and from now on, he was crowned the Duke of Yiyang County and commanded the government and military affairs of Dongping State, and the princess Chen Guhe was crowned the Duke of Feng'an County, and Sun Jingming was crowned the ...... in the imperial history."

"As soon as my father died, my son couldn't wait to sit on the throne, and he also rewarded the 'meritorious minister', it seems that His Royal Highness the new king is very well prepared. A voice with strong irony sounded, interrupting Chen Gubai's so-called No. 1 new royal edict.

Sun Chengwen said angrily: "Who dares to interrupt the edict of the new king and doesn't want to live?"

"Sun Chengxia's tone is so big, Ben Qin wants to see who dares to kill me!" Ye Yunyang strode in, followed by Dongfang Pingtai and Dai Jingwei.

He was personally appointed by the emperor, not to mention a small Dongping country, even if he was brought to the court of the Han Dynasty, he did not dare to kill him.

Sun Chengwen saw that it was him, he was stunned for a moment, and his heartbeat also accelerated, why did this kid come?

However, he quickly calmed down, Chen Mingda was dead, the forged letter of repentance could be described as seamless, Chen Mingda carried all the black cauldrons, and now there is no proof of death, let alone Qincha, even if His Majesty the Emperor is there in person, he can only accept the immediate result.

Chen Gubai was furious, Sun Jingming pointed at Ye Yunyang and shouted: "Ye Qincha, what is your intention when you interrupt the words of the new king of your country, don't think that you have someone behind you to support you, you can do whatever you want, this is Dongping Kingdom, not a place where you can go wild." ”

"That is, why are you so arrogant, His Majesty the Emperor has no right to intervene in the political affairs of the vassal states, how can a little Qincha be qualified to appear here?"

"Interrupt the edict of the new king of the country, and punish the crime!"

"Your task is to find out the cause of death of the royal family, and now I really want to reveal it, although you didn't find out by your ability, you can also go to the emperor to explain it, don't hurry up!"

The members of the Sun Group were more and more arrogant, and they all pointed at Ye Yunyang and scolded, Chen Gubai felt very relieved, and his face looked a lot better.

Ye Yunyang turned a deaf ear to these scoldings, because in his opinion, these guys were just clowns jumping off the beam, and there were many people who would soon become dead, so there was no need to worry about people who were dying.

When the other party scolded enough, he said unhurriedly: "Ben Qin sent here just to investigate the case, Chen Mingda died a miserable death, although he ordered the assassination of the royal family, but the executor is someone else, I'm afraid he won't be able to understand how he can become a person with a black pot at the moment of death." And what's even worse, that is, dying at the hands of his own children, he will definitely die without a blind eye, right?"

Chen Gujun and Sun Chengwen chuckled in their hearts at the same time, just now, they saw Chen Mingda's corpse with their own eyes, and they were indeed blind.

The reason why Ye Yunyang knows so clearly is because he is well versed in toxicology and knows what kind of pain the poisoned person will experience when a chronic poison occurs.

"Ye Yunyang, you are talking nonsense, the ancestor of your country obviously committed suicide by taking poison, but you framed the prince and princess for poisoning in public, what are your intentions?" Sun Jingming shouted and asked, and said angrily: "Although Dongping is a small country, you are not allowed to blaspheme, come on, take down this person who speaks wildly!"

With a hula, dozens of guards with sharp blades rushed in, and Dong Cheng and the others also walked out of the crowd with fierce eyes.

Dongfang Pingtai-for-tat: "I see who dares!"

Dai Jingwei echoed: "It's not good for Lord Qincha, it's a big crime to exterminate the Nine Clans, if you don't want to die, come up, the captain of this school will let his blood splash on the spot!"

"What a big breath, do you really think that our Dongping Kingdom is easy to bully?" Dong Cheng took a step forward and said in a cold voice: "Dongfang Pingtai, you'd better see the current situation clearly, are you, a second-level priest, the opponent of our three Gathering God Realm martial artists?"

The two people standing behind Dong Cheng were his lieutenants, and all three of them were martial artists of the Gathering God Realm.

Dongfang Pingtai squinted his eyes and glanced at them, and said with a sneer: "That's right, in less than a year, there are two more Gathering God Realm martial artists. If the old man guessed correctly, these two benevolent brothers should have been in the Gathering God Realm for a long time, and they didn't even come out to appear in the national strength evaluation last year, and they were really hidden deep enough. ”

Sun Chengwen smiled: "Brother Dongfang is really wise, and he guesses the truth in one sentence, but even if this is the case, what can you do, you slander the new king of our country in public, even if you are in the name of Qincha, you don't want to escape from it! General Dong, you just have to arrest people, and His Royal Highness the new king will take on the rest of the things." ”

Chen Gujun didn't realize that he was sold by Sun Chengwen, and said very boldly: "Yes, this king will bear it with all his might, but let His Majesty the Emperor give an explanation to Dongping Kingdom. ”

Ye Yunyang looked at him with a very meaningful gaze and said, "What have you done, I know best in my heart, Chen Gujun, let me ask you, do you dare to swear to the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu and say that you have nothing to do with Chen Mingda's death?"

Chen Gujun frowned and snorted, "Why should the widow listen to your assignment, how old are you?"

"Don't swear to dare, just to prove that you have a ghost in your heart. Ye Yunyang continued to fan the flames, and Dongfang Pingtai also added fuel and vinegar on the side: "Chen Gujun, it's not that the old man looks down on you, but that you are not worthy of being the monarch of this country." ”

Chen Gujun was angry and snorted: "Isn't it just an oath, I will convince you!"

After speaking, he stood up from the throne, raised his right fist and said: "I, Chen Gujun, swear in front of the ministers that if I poison the first king, I will divide the body of five horses! ”

Ye Yunyang smiled, since you have chosen the way to die for yourself, as the minister of the Qin Mission, I will definitely fulfill your wishes.

Dong Cheng and the two lieutenant generals walked over violently, Dongfang Pingtai showed the Chiyou Divine Halberd, Dai Jingwei drew his sword out of the sheath, and the scene of saber rattling in the hall was tense.
