Emperor Hua was assassinated in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, which had never happened since the founding of Huaguo.

The royal family was very shocked and angry, this is a shame that they can never wash away, and what is even more tragic is that not only do they not know who the murderer is, but they have not even seen a shadow.

In the absence of the emperor, the elders of the clan of the clan held the authority in advance, and the elders of the three clans are now the supreme power holders. He ordered the convening of a clan council to stabilize the situation first, and if there was turmoil, it was very likely to shake the foundation of the country.

The execution of the Zongren Mansion is very strong, first the entire palace is controlled by the masters of the imperial family, and then the corpse of Emperor Hua is moved to the Zongren Mansion, and the elders of the three clans and others return together, accompanied by the prince and the queen.

It didn't take long for the high-ranking and powerful people of the royal family in the imperial capital to gather in the Zongren Mansion.

From the time I learned that Emperor Hua had been assassinated and died to the meeting of the Zongren Mansion, it was no more than an hour before and after.

There are still many doubts about the killing of Emperor Hua, but no matter how many doubts are not as important as the stability of the country, as the so-called country cannot be without a king for a day, the first thing discussed by the clan meeting is to establish the crown prince as the new emperor.

This seems to be a redundant thing, but in fact, the elders of the three clans announced the crown prince's accession to the throne at the clan meeting, which is to show an attitude.

Li Xuan's succession to the throne is not only the choice of Emperor Hua, but also the full support of the Zongren Mansion.

Although Li Xuan is the crown prince, this does not mean that the people of the clan are satisfied with him, especially in the case of Emperor Hua's sudden death, it is very likely that there will be incidents of stirring up trouble, after all, Emperor Hua has a lot of princes under his knees, who doesn't want to sit on the dragon chair?

"The assassination is hidden, and those who dare to leak the news will not be spared."

The elders of the three clans looked serious in the meeting, and said in a solemn tone.

Now that there is a strong enemy outside Fengyang Pass, once the news of Emperor Hua being killed spreads, it will have a great impact on the war in Fengyang Pass.

"The crown prince will continue to supervise the country, exercise imperial power, and wait for the Fengyang Pass matter to end, and then proceed to the throne."

Not allowing the crown prince to ascend the throne immediately is also the result of careful consideration, but the imperial power can be exercised, except for the different names, he is already the real ruler of Huaguo.

The queen was a little disappointed by this, but she also knew that this was a helpless thing, so she could only listen to it for the time being.

The elder of the three clans continued: "The previous idea of letting the prince go to Fengyang Pass is nullified, and he continues to sit in the imperial capital. ”

As soon as the words fell, the prince who was the party was very excited, but he couldn't show it yet, and he was quite uncomfortable.

"Now I officially announce that I will pass on the royal secret book of the Li clan to the crown prince Li Xuan."

The Li royal family has a practice handed down by the founding ancestor called the 'Jade Emperor Sutra'.

This exercise was also obtained by Emperor Taizu by chance, but unfortunately it was a mutilated exercise, but even so, it still made Emperor Taizu establish the foundation of Huaguo.

'Jade Emperor Sutra' is a Xuanpin Exercise, this is still in the case of incompleteness, if it is a complete Jade Emperor Sutra, the minimum must be a Xuanpin Exercise, and even guess that it may be a heavenly divine skill.

The Jade Emperor Sutra that the royal family now has is divided into five parts, the first two parts can be cultivated by members of the royal family, the third part can only be cultivated by the disciples of the Li royal family, and the fourth part requires the prince level, and the last fifth part can only be cultivated by each emperor alone.

The fifth part of the Jade Emperor Sutra has great particularity, that is, it can completely suppress the members of the royal family who practice the Jade Emperor Sutra, which is one of the important reasons why the royal family has not rebelled.

"Li Xuan is ashamed!"

Li Xuan took a step forward and bowed to the elders of the three clans.

At this moment, both the crown prince and the queen thought that the overall situation had been decided, and the door of the conference hall was suddenly pushed open, and a person walked in.

Someone wants to scold such a heavy trespasser to death!

However, everyone present was shocked when they saw the visitor, especially the crown prince and the queen, who had a ghostly expression on their faces, and they were so frightened that they immediately exclaimed, and their fear could not help but make people suspicious.

It was not someone else who pushed the door in, it was the protagonist of tonight - Vantage.

"You?!"

"Huh? Holy! “

"Holy! You're not ............"

"What the hell is going on, why is it ............?"

“…………………………”

The elders of the three clans and the first clan looked at Emperor Hua, and I don't know how he appeared in front of everyone safe and sound?

Emperor Hua was dressed in regular clothes, first saluted the elders of the three clans, and then signaled the clansmen to be quiet, and then his eyes fell on the panicked prince and queen, and said in a cold voice: "Slut! Unfilial son! In front of all the clan elders, explain tonight's events. ”

The crown prince and the queen were full of excitement, and their hands and feet were cold.

The queen reacted first, and forced herself to calm down: "Your Majesty! It's good that you're okay, the concubine is terrified. ”

Seeing that the queen was still going to act, Emperor Hua thought of the information he had seen before, and was furious, kicked it to the ground, and pointed with a halberd: "You slut!" Sin deserves death! ”

Emperor Hua was seriously injured and his strength was greatly reduced, but the queen still couldn't bear this powerful kick, and immediately vomited blood, but the queen still quibbled: "Holy Lord! What the hell is going on here? Why do you hate your concubines so much? What did the concubine do wrong?! ”

At this time, the elders of the three clans were also confused, and asked, "What the hell is going on?" The emperor might as well make it clear. ”

Seeing the elders of the three clans speak, Emperor Hua explained angrily: "The assassination of me tonight was planned by their mother and son. ”

As soon as the words fell, the whole audience was shocked.

They didn't believe that the crown prince and the empress had such great energy, but they definitely believed in Emperor Hua's words more.

"This rebel son is greedy for life and afraid of death, and is unwilling to go to Fengyang Pass to guard the country, this slut thought of the idea of killing the king and usurping the throne, and the reason why she is like this is because she knows that I have been secretly investigating the witch Gu case back then, and I am worried that the old case will expose that she is the mastermind behind the scenes, so I thought of using the power of the palace to emptiness, and the jade seal is not by my side, so as to put me to death, so as to achieve the purpose of holding the imperial power and sitting back and relaxing."

Emperor Huadi's explanation shocked the clan relatives present, since the founding of the country, there has not been any of the following crimes, and the mother and son are considered to have set a precedent.

The clan relatives looked at their mother and son with cold eyes.

"Wronged! This is not true, someone is framing the concubines and Xuan'er, Your Majesty is aware of it! ”

The queen is still dying, and the crown prince Li Xuan is already dead after listening to what his father said.

He knew it was all over.

Vantage will not listen to the queen's complaints, and the more she is like this, the more disgusting she becomes, like a gambler who can't afford to lose.

The queen was unwilling, the situation should not be like this in her opinion, in her plan, their mother and son were sure to win, if there was a situation in any link, it was obvious that the problem was with the ghost ancestor, but he had no reason to betray their mother and son.

"Someone! Crush the two of them into the prison, and then release them afterwards. ”

Several chamberlains who had been waiting outside the door for a long time walked in, although the crown prince and the queen had good strength, they were lambs to be slaughtered in the Zongren Mansion, and they had no qualifications to be presumptuous.

The chamberlain sealed the mother and son's tendon dantian and took it away directly, and at this moment the queen finally recognized the reality and said hysterically: "I won't lose!" You shouldn't lose either! The concubine will become the queen mother, Xuan'er will ascend the dragon chair, and our mother and son will always be in charge of the power of China. ”

"Let go of me! Let me go! Do you know how hard I've struggled to get this far?!"

"Don't touch my ............"

Compared with the queen who fell into madness, the prince, who has always been obedient in front of his mother, is much more frank, he did not beg for mercy, except for despair and self-inflicted helplessness.

·········································

Approaching dawn, the officials in the imperial capital received a notice from the previous dynasty, and the officials couldn't help but wonder for a while, did the saint come back? However, they did not receive any news of the Holy Emperor's return to the court, and the crown prince had no right to preside over the early dynasty.

The officials realized that the saint must have returned, and they did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly sorted out their clothes and immediately entered the palace to go to court.

Since the saint went to Fengyang Pass to personally guard the country, the early dynasty has been stopped for two years, and the officials are inevitably a little inapplicable.

On the Jinluan Palace, hundreds of officials were in place, and Emperor Hua walked into the hall alone, his face solemn.

Politically sensitive officials, sensing that the crown prince was not accompanied by him, realized that something important must have happened in the early days of the day.

After the Vantage sat on the dragon chair, the officials knelt down.

"Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! ”

“………………”

Emperor Hua let the officials calm down, without the politeness after a long absence, and directly asked the chief of the chamberlain to read out a holy decree.

"My Emperor Zhao: The queen and the prince are at a loss in their talents, and they will be abolished from the throne and the crown prince, and their crimes will be ....................."

Vantage was very direct and directly convicted the ten major crimes, each of which was a major crime of killing the head, in addition to washing away the grievances of Li Zhen and his mother.

"The imperial concubine Zhou, virtuous and virtuous, was tragically framed and posthumously crowned Empress Chunyuan.................. The thirteen princes have both talent and virtue, the pillars of the country, and the crown prince, who will live in the East Palace on the same day and take charge of the power of the country.................."

This holy decree can make a mess of hundreds of officials, because this holy decree directly changed the political pattern of the imperial court.

It is worth noting that there is no rebellion against the queen and the crown prince in the holy decree, after all, the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized.

After the decree was read, Emperor Hua only explained a few words to several cabinet elders, and then announced the dissolution of the dynasty, and what is more interesting is that the biggest winner Li Zhen never appeared from beginning to end.

At this time, Li Zhen had already come to the East Palace, and the ghost ancestor led people to clean up the East Palace again, Li Zhen didn't care about this, but began to use his power to purge the prince's family in the imperial court.

That afternoon, Li Zhen raised the butcher knife.

Four years ago, the supporters who betrayed him did not end well, and the forbidden army began to arrest people in the imperial capital, and nearly 20 officials were arrested, including nearly 10 house raiders, and by the time it was dark, more than 1,000 people were arrested.

This incident made the people of the imperial capital panic.

The cabinet members hoped to meet Li Zhen to persuade one or two, but to no avail.

He wants to vent his anger from four years ago, and the most painful way is to kill people.

Catch in the afternoon, kill in the evening!

This is Li Zhen's way of revenge.

Lu Guogong's mansion escaped, but Lu Guogong was not spared, he was not arrested, but committed suicide by taking poison in advance at home, which can be regarded as giving Li Zhen an explanation, and saving the entire family with himself.

Among the intimate forces with the prince in the imperial capital, the Lu Guogong Mansion is the best ending.

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

Overnight, Emperor Hua, who seemed to be ten years old, asked the attendant beside him, "How many people did Zhen'er kill?" ”

"Back to the Holy One! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has killed more than 300 people, and according to the news that has come, he has no intention of stopping. ”

The chamberlain was a little worried: "Your Majesty! This goes on like this............"

Vantage waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! He is not only venting his anger, but also preparing for the rapid control of the imperial court. ”

Li Zhen has been away from the core of power for four years, and there are no available people in the court, he will definitely kill a group and help a group, but the methods are too simple and crude.

But it doesn't matter, with the support of the saint, Li Zhen has no worries.

Late that night, Zhang Zichen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came to see Li Zhen.

Zhang Zichen never thought that Li Zhen would overthrow the crown prince and queen in less than two months, and it was completely contrary to the previous plan, which shows that a big event happened without him knowing.

There was no hypocritical politeness when the two met, Li Zhen went straight to the point and said: "Early tomorrow morning, Uncle Zhang will take office and enter the cabinet as the prime minister." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Zichen didn't have time to be surprised, and Li Zhen immediately handed him something that was enough to make him jaw-dropping.

Letter of appointment of the officer!

Ten servings!

"There are many vacant positions in the court, among which these ten positions are very important, you choose someone to write a list by yourself, and put it up directly, don't worry about the problem of exceptional promotion, I want to use tonight's murderous spirit to change blood in the court."

Li Zhen's eyes burst into light, and he said with a serious face.

Zhang Zichen picked up ten letters of appointment, his hands couldn't help but tremble, any decision he made at this time was enough to change the fate of someone's life, and the burden on his shoulders was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Li Zhen saw Zhang Zichen stunned, frowned and said, "Something?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince! No problem! ”

Zhang Zichen came back to his senses and hurriedly said.

Li Zhen nodded with satisfaction, and then made another arrangement: "The situation over there in Fengyang Pass is very serious, and the reason why I acted so drastically is because I am going to Fengyang Pass in the near future, so after I leave, there will be Uncle Lao Zhang on the side of the court." ”

"Huh?!"

Zhang Zichen was taken aback again, waved his hand and said, "Absolutely not!" How Your Majesty ............"

Li Zhen stopped and said: "The court needs a person I can trust, so it can only be Uncle Zhang." ”

Speaking of which, Zhang Zichen no longer shirked and agreed.

"Your Highness, relax! Wechen will not disappoint His Highness. ”

After the two discussed some matters, Zhang Zichen left the East Palace.

Li Zhen never showed up, but he drastically installed cronies and excluded dissidents, which made the court officials panic for a while.

Four days later, when the handling of the imperial court came to an end, Li Zhen sent invitations to each of the country's cultivation circles, asking the heads of each faction to come to Donghua City to gather.

Waiting for the arrival of the major leaders, Li Zhen finally freed his hands to go to the prison to meet the queen and the prince.
