Chapter 174: Palace Change
A vigorous palace change suddenly broke out in the dead of night.
Chu Lingyue, the third prince, took Chu Lingyue's unworthy position and used the name of "plague" to launch a crusade to force the palace in the name of heaven's wrath.
In the middle of the night, the guards guarding the palace gate and the Praetorian Guards patrolling seemed to be imaginary.
Without even decent resistance, the rebels led by the third prince easily led their private soldiers to the imperial study where the new army was located.
In the brightly lit imperial study, Chu Lingtian was gathering several important ministers of the court to discuss how to resist this fierce plague.
Qin Mufeng took a leave of absence for many days because of the dead body, and in addition to the last mass grave battle, the personnel suffered serious losses, and he failed to detect the abnormality in time.
When he and Bai Chen got the news and brought someone over, it was already too late.
You can smell the blood wafting through the air from afar.
Qin Mufeng's hearts sank, and along the way they had just come, they didn't find any obvious traces of fighting, and their luck psychology left them with wrong guidance.
The two of them rushed to the study, praying in their hearts that everything was still in time.
It wasn't until the tragic scene in the imperial study rushed into his eyes that Qin Mufeng's entire body began to chill.
His eyes were red with blood, and he looked sharply at the victor.
Chu Linghao looked at him with sad eyes, and moved his mouth as if he wanted to say something, I don't know if it was because the topic was too heavy, so he couldn't speak successfully.
In the end, it was the official Shangshu Shi Kelang who had crocodile tears in the corners of his eyes and took the lead in opening his mouth.
"Lord Qin, you're late. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he was killed by the Third Prince! ”
Wiping away his tears, he said again: "Fortunately, the Seventh Prince arrived in time with the forbidden army, which smashed the plan of the Third Prince to plot to usurp the throne." ”
Qin Mufeng's chest rose and fell violently, no wonder! It's no wonder he didn't find any obvious signs of a fight along the way.
It turned out that Chu Linghao played a good game of praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches killing two birds with one stone later.
And he has undoubtedly become the audience of this good show.
If he remembers correctly, the official in front of him, Shi Kelang, has always been the person of the third prince, and he has suppressed those who support the prince on weekdays.
He thought, even Chu Lingyue himself probably didn't expect that the person he really followed would be Chu Linghao.
The good royal brother who has never been looked at by him and obeys him.
Qin Mufeng suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, walked past the third prince lying on the ground, and walked to Chu Lingtian's side step by step.
An indescribable heat rose in his eyes, and he bent down slightly, reaching out to brush Chu Lingtian's unwilling eyes.
Let the unsightly monarch close his eyes.
The matter has come to this, and to this day, if Qin Mufeng can't understand Chu Linghao's mind anymore, then he and Chu Lingyue will be fighting in vain for so many years.
No matter how innocent Chu Linghao pretends to be at the moment, sad, and helpless, in the eyes of the discerning person, he is just running naked.
Shi Kelang, the secretary of the ministry, broke the silence in time and said the sentence that had been said thousands of times in his heart: "The country cannot be without a king for a day, and now there are only seven princes who can take on the great responsibility among the princes. ”
Qin Mufeng, who had been mentally prepared, still couldn't control his anger and sadness, thinking that he Qin Mufeng had fought with Chu Lingyue for five years for the sake of the Yingguo, in order to ensure the stability of the country and the future of the country.
At last......
There was a cry of sorrow in his heart, feeling sad for the national fortunes of the Liuying Country, and sad for the thousands of people of the Liuying Country.
Chu Linghao was still hypocritically shirking, and his words were repeated over and over again, just because he was incompetent and incompetent, and he was embarrassed by the big responsibility, so he asked the ministers to choose another capable and talented person to live in.
Bai Chen couldn't help but sneer after hearing this, in this situation, where is there a royal family lineage available besides him?
Unexpectedly, his father exchanged the lives of the entire Bai family for ...... In the end, it turned out to be such a sad and lamentable.
There is inevitably some imbalance in his heart, thinking of the past, he feels worthless for his father, and all the people in the Bai family who died in that "rebellion" case feel worthless and unwilling.
Bai Chen stroked the hideous scar on his neck in pain, turned around, and silently retreated from the place.
In the crowd, I don't know who spoke first, "Please ask the Seventh Prince to preside over the overall situation." ”
What followed was an expected response.
Chu Linghao saw that he couldn't "shirk", so he could only reluctantly let go in the end.
Qin Mufeng closed his eyes in pain.
Suddenly, there was a fierce fighting sound of cold weapons colliding in my ears......
He opened his eyes suddenly, and saw that everyone's attention was focused on the direction of the door, and their faces were different.
The sound moved from far and near, and it was advancing extremely fast.
Chu Linghao's expression rarely revealed a touch of hideousness.
He turned around and gave the deputy commander of the forbidden army a look, and the other party was about to go out to check if he had the order.
However, as soon as he reached the door, he was pierced through the chest by a long sword.
Blood dripped down the tip of the sword, causing a group of scholars to scream in amazement.
Chu Linghao saw that the big thing was not good, so he took advantage of the unpreparedness of others, and he was about to run away without thinking about it.
Qin Mufeng moved to his retreat in time, his eyes were facing each other, and he seemed to be able to hear the "crackling" explosion in the air.
"Bang!"
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground sounded, and the two subconsciously looked towards the door.
In the next moment, the eyes of the two widened at the same time, the difference was that one was shocked, and the other was simply surprised.
Saint Chu Qin withstood the gaze of everyone and walked towards Chu Linghao step by step.
"Rebel, I didn't expect that person to be you."
The courtiers were so frightened by the resurrection of the saint that they forgot to kneel down to say hello for a while.
At this moment, I heard him speak, and then I knelt down one after another.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
After Qin Mufeng was shocked at first, he didn't kneel down to say hello like everyone else.
He stood in front of Chu Qin and looked at him with such a big face, his eyes were complicated, and his face was cold and serious.
Five years of monarchy, he thought that his understanding of the holy will could be called accurate, but at this moment he suddenly felt that everything in the past was self-righteous, and he had never really known this person.
At this moment, a deep chill rose in his heart.
Chu Qin stared at Chu Linghao deadly, not noticing Qin Mufeng on the side at all.
Chu Linghao was cold all over his body when he saw it, and the blood all over his body seemed to be flowing backwards.
He subconsciously stepped back, muttering to himself, "This can't be." ”
Suddenly, he stopped, the look in his eyes changed, and his whole person was gloomy like a cobra that spits out a snake hyacinth.
Before everyone could react, he suddenly rushed towards Chu Qin with a sharp dagger in his hand.
"You owe me everything, ah-"
The high-pitched shout stopped abruptly, and a black shadow swept up from the position behind Chu Qin, piercing Chu Linghao who was holding his dagger high and dancing his teeth and claws.
Qin Mufeng saw that Chu Qin's expressionless face quickly crossed a touch of almost invisible sadness.
For some reason, he was obviously so repulsed, but he actually experienced resonance in this brief moment.
A palace change full of blood has come to an end.
