After another quarter of an hour, His Royal Highness Emperor Sun Yu seemed to be really unable to support it, and his eyes were about to fall as soon as his eyes were black, only to see the sacrificial messenger behind him scoop him up casually, and then start to feed something into his mouth.

"Hey, you" His Royal Highness looked panicked, and subconsciously wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, the messenger behind him actually agreed to make a move, only to see the other party pointing at his back, telling him to be unable to move or speak.

At this moment, there were several gasping voices in the hall, and the fear in the hearts of the remaining highnesses reached its peak at this moment, but they didn't even have a chance to resist.

Almost at the same time, the remaining few sacrificial envoys moved in unison, and the seven princes and grandsons were all under control without exception, and even His Royal Highness Yu, who looked terminally ill, was also controlled by the acupoint.

"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come." Cao Yuan bent down beside the emperor and said.

Finally, the old emperor's closed eyes slowly opened, and above his head, the tiles at the top of the main hall were uncovered, and a beam of sunlight fell from the top of everyone's heads, as if thousands of colorful flowers bloomed.

As far as the eye could see, the colorful glow filled the entire hall in an instant, and the emperor above the soft clouds seemed to be sitting in the sky, and from around him, a cloud of rising mist began to emerge.

Cao Yuan leaned closer, just inhaling some, his face became extremely bad, his hands hanging in front of him were clenched tightly, and his expression became very nervous.

However, the emperor's expression looked completely opposite, not only did the emperor not show a bitter face like Cao Yuan, but his face was extremely ruddy, as if he was radiant, and became radiant.

The Emperor rose from above the clouds, and the seven priest messengers began to dance strangely around him with ritual vessels, accompanied by strange music, and the rising mist became thicker and thicker, gradually obscuring everything in the main hall, like a devouring demonic mist, swallowing everyone into it.

At this moment, the noise outside the palace gate has not ended, although Xiao Huangmen does not dare to be presumptuous to all the adults, but Xia Zhang waved his stinky face and made up his mind not to let anyone go.

Although the ministers were full of complaints, they did not dare to forcibly break into the palace, time passed little by little, and the ministers at the gate of the palace were already red-faced, and Wei Ge Lao saw that the tone of the big guy became more and more violent, and he frowned fiercely.

But at this time, Wei Ge Lao suddenly said loudly: "Slow! Can you please ask Commander Wen to come out and see him? ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, Wen Kongheng, who was supposed to guard the outer gate of the palace here, disappeared, and only Xia Zhang was on the city tower.

Wei Ge Lao's original intention may have been that Commander Wen could put the overall situation first, raise his hand and let them in, even if he couldn't, he would be able to subdue this group of angry ministers as the commander of the forbidden army.

It's just that his question made Xia Zhang on the city tower stunned, the admiral of Dongchang didn't know what he thought, his face changed several times, and even regardless of the public, he roughly grabbed a forbidden army guard on the city tower and asked: "Where did Wen Kongheng go?!" ”

The Janissary Guard was also at a loss, and he just replied dryly: "I don't know where the Great Commander has gone."

Xia Zhang's face was extremely difficult to see, and he blessedly set his eyes on Lu Hanjiang, who was drinking tea below, and the other party seemed to see him too, and raised his glass to him from afar.

Xia Zhang panicked, and a terrifying conjecture gradually surfaced in his heart.

"Humph!"

He endured the fear in his heart, coldly shook off the forbidden army, and then rushed towards the inner gate of the imperial city, not even caring about his demeanor, so that when he reached the inner gate, several soldiers in charge of guarding the gate looked at him in surprise.

On the city tower, Tao Yuanlang, who was surprised, looked at him and asked, "Grandpa Xia, aren't you in charge of assisting the Grand Commander at the outer gate?" How did you get here? ”

Xia Zhang anxiously shouted: "Commander Tao, I have something important to ask to see Your Majesty, please open the door quickly!" ”

Hearing this, Tao Yuanlang frowned: "Forgive me, father-in-law, this commander guards this gate by the order of His Majesty the Emperor, and my father-in-law should not appear here today, please go back." ”

Xia Zhang was stunned, and then said angrily: "Tao Yuanlang, you are bold!" What are you, dare to stand in the way of Pontus, open the door immediately! ”

Tao Yuanlang on the city tower smiled coldly: "Father-in-law doesn't need to say any more, if there is no will of His Majesty, no one will be allowed to pass through this gate before the end of today's ceremony!" ”

As he spoke, he also added in a weird way: "The father-in-law at the outer gate is tired enough, please go back." ”

After finishing speaking, ignoring Xia Zhang's scolding below, Tao Yuanlang instructed left and right: "If this gelding dog wants to continue barking, let him go, and this commander will go to rest, you remember, no one is allowed to open the door without my order." ”

"Yes!" Left and right responded to the order, Tao Yuanlang gloated and looked down at Xia Zhang, who was jumping in a hurry below, and then Shi Shiran turned around and went back to the barracks of the city tower.

Obviously it is the depths of winter, but today the weather is clear and windless, the weather is still a little boring, Tao Yuanlang returned to the barracks, took a sip of tea, and planned to rest for a while, and when Xia Zhang shouted that his throat was on fire, he went out to laugh again, it was a good thing.

Thinking like this, Tao Yuanlang's head suddenly twisted in a circle, and the corners of his mouth still had that mocking look, so strangely cut off.

Pop - The teacup in Tao Yuanlang's hand slipped to the ground and fell to pieces in an instant.

"Commander Tao!"

The guards of the Praetorian Army outside heard the sound and immediately rushed in, only to see Tao Yuanlang who was separated from his head, and the blood dripping red the ground of the barracks.

"How dare you—Wen, Commander Wen?!" The guards who rushed in saw the person in front of them and were instantly frozen.

Wen Kongheng lightly threw Tao Yuanlang's head at the feet of the guards, and then said: "Your Majesty has a will, Tao Yuanlang deceived the monarch and was executed immediately, do you have any questions?" ”

When the words fell, there was a sudden silence in the barracks, and one of the teams was gritting his teeth and saying, "Dare to ask why the Great Commander is here!" Didn't Your Majesty order you to guard the outer gate? ”

Wen Kongheng glanced up at the other party, and then brazenly pulled out the saber on Tao Yuanlang's headless corpse, and killed the other party on the spot with just one sword, once again calming the audience.

"Who else is there to ask?"

Wen Kongheng looked around, and said sharply: "This commander has followed His Majesty for decades and is deeply trusted by His Majesty, and today His Majesty has a secret decree ordering me to get rid of this thief, and if anyone is not satisfied, stand up!" ”

No one dared to speak this time, the special nature of the forbidden army led to the fact that they would only follow the orders of their immediate superiors, and now that Tao Yuanlang was dead, it was natural for Wen Kongheng to take over the command as the commander.

What's more, what the other party said was a dose of strength for everyone, Wen Kongheng met His Majesty at a young age, and His Majesty has relied on him very much over the years, and he is a person who is as trusted by His Majesty as Meng Yuan, who once commanded Meng Yuan.

After thinking of this, everyone no longer hesitated, and immediately someone spoke: "In that case, please give the order of the Grand Commander!" ”

"Good!" Wen Kongheng waved his hand: "Open the inner door!" The rest of me went with me to open the outer gate of the imperial city and welcome the hundred officials into the Zixiao Palace to meet me, Your Majesty has a will to announce! ”

"Yes!" Hearing that he was going to see His Majesty, everyone had no suspicion at this time, and they all followed his orders.
