Chapter 378: Absurdity (1)
"What did you say?"
In the East Palace, the personal soldier who delivered the message covered the wound on his left arm, and blood dripped to the ground.
Zhao Xiyan looked shocked and asked in disbelief, "What is Xu Yi going to do?"
Empress Su, who couldn't speak, also widened her eyes and stared at the soldiers of the East Palace who came to deliver the letter.
The soldier gritted his teeth and replied, "The specific situation is not clear to the small ones. I only know that this is the order of a dozen important ministers after deliberation."
"The emperor wrote an edict of abdication, stamped the imperial seal, and asked for the throne to be given to the prince of Yingchuan."
"Zhou Shangshu has already found a brand new dragon robe, and in two hours, the ministers will hold an enthronement ceremony for the prince of Yingchuan."
This is ridiculous and child's play!
The sound of fighting in the palace continued, Murong Yao and Murong Shen father and son were leading the troops to rebel against the palace, but the prince of Yingchuan was holding the Son of Heaven hostage, forcing the Son of Heaven to take the throne, and forcing the ministers to kneel and worship......
Zhao Xiyan hadn't recovered from the shock yet, and Queen Su had already stepped out.
"!" Fu Zi exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward to support Queen Su.
Zhao Xiyan quickly came back to his senses, and also rushed forward two steps forward, grabbing Queen Su's arm. Queen Su couldn't make a sound, and she didn't cry, her eyes flashed with anger.
As an emperor, why do you have to live?
Why not die?
What an abdication edict, what a Zen throne ceremony! How ridiculous! Emperor Yongming wants to live forever in the history books and be laughed at forever by future generations!
He should be killed by the neck, or dead! At least there is still a little bit of dignity and dignity of the Son of Heaven!
What is this now?
She is going to the Jinluan Palace, she is going to admonish each other with death, so that Emperor Yongming will die quickly! lest he be held hostage by the prince of Yingchuan and do more things that will make future generations laugh!
Empress Su suddenly struggled hard.
Zhao Xiyan held Queen Su's arm tightly and whispered hurriedly: "Niangniang's anger is unspeakable, I know it. However, it is not advisable for the mother to act rashly for now."
"There are many rebels in the palace, and the guards outside the Jinluan Palace are struggling to resist. Niangniang went, what if she was taken by a traitor and held hostage by a traitor like the emperor?"
"At that time, the traitor will be the chopping block, and we will be the fish and meat, and there will be no room for resistance."
Queen Su's body trembled. Holding back her tears, Fu Zi whispered, "The princess is right. The humiliation and indignation in the mother's heart must be swallowed temporarily."
"We are waiting in the East Palace, and the Iron Guard Battalion will definitely enter the palace to rescue us. There is also the prince of Beihai, when he gets the news, he will immediately lead his troops back to the capital, put down the rebels, and save his mother and the emperor."
I don't know which sentence moved Queen Su. Queen Su no longer struggled, nor did she have the strength to stand, and sat on the ground in a gloomy manner.
Looking at all the noble ladies of the edict, they were all shocked by this news, like boiling water. Leaning his head against his head, whispering non-stop.
"It's ridiculous. My wife has lived sixty years, and she has read a history book that is three feet high, and she has never heard of such a thing."
"Isn't it? The emperor personally wrote the edict of abdication, held a ceremony of Zen throne, and the ministers bowed again. This is to admit that the prince of Yingchuan is a traitor!"
"Don't talk nonsense, this is clearly a stopgap measure, just to delay time."
"You speak lightly. Zen succession is not child's play. As soon as this abdication edict is written, it means that the traitor will be killed in the future, and what face will the emperor have to sit back on the dragon chair?"
The person who said this was Mrs. Zhou. Zhou Shangshu is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and what Mrs. Zhou said is also extraordinarily weighty. She whispered as she glanced up at Zhao Xiyan.
All the commandments comprehended and looked at each other tacitly.
No matter what, Emperor Yongming can't sit on the throne. I only hope that the prince of Beihai will lead the troops back to Beijing as soon as possible, and the Great Jin will be able to usher in a new son of heaven.
This is the so-called desire of the people. The reason why the ladies of the Decree are so respectful to Zhao Xiyan is because they have regarded Zhao Xiyan as the future princess in their hearts.
Now it seems that she can be directly regarded as the future queen.
Cao, the princess of the King of Xihe, moved her lips and wanted to say a few words. I looked up and saw it
Zhao Xiyan's cold gaze, when it came to his mouth, swallowed back again.
Zhao Xiyan's mood is actually far less calm than on the surface.
Everything that is happening now has long since departed from the trajectory of the previous life. Everything is so ridiculous and so crazy. She didn't know what was going to happen next... net
The only thing she can do is to stabilize the East Palace and the people in front of her.
Zhao Xiyan turned his head and called two palace people over: "You go to the dining room of the East Palace and ask the imperial chefs to make some food and send it over." Make some hot food, and make some meat."
Doing this, some of them can't help His Royal Highness the Prince, but it is the best way to appease people's hearts at the moment.
Queen Su didn't stop her, and Fu Zi didn't say anything.
Zhao Xiyan's order was quickly passed into the dining room of the East Palace.
The frightened chefs quickly got busy. The steamed buns are ready-made, heat them in a steamer, and then raise the stove to start the fire. The stewed pork on low heat stir-fried vegetables, six or seven imperial chefs, quickly made four hot dishes, and put them in various food boxes. Hurriedly carried it into the mourning hall.
From last night to now, everyone has not eaten, and they are already hungry. At this time, I smelled the strong aroma of the food, and I immediately felt refreshed.
Don't care how undignified it is to sit on the ground, open the food box and eat!
Zhao Xiyan personally opened the food box, tore open the hot steamed buns, stuffed them with a few slices of meat and some vegetables, and then stuffed them into Queen Su's hands.
Queen Su took a bite blankly, chewed a few bites without knowing the taste, and then swallowed hard. Half a steamed bun went down to his stomach, and he drank half a bowl of hot soup under Zhao Xiyan's service.
The body quickly warmed up, and the strength returned to the body again.
Queen Su slowly came back to her senses, reached out and grabbed Zhao Xiyan's hand, and motioned for Zhao Xiyan to eat too. Zhao Xiyan nodded lightly, picked up the hot and soft steamed buns, sandwiched a few thick slices of meat, and ate them in a big gulp. I don't know who muttered in a low voice, "You're all full, even if you have to go on the road, you can't be a starving ghost."
The tense nerves seemed to be torn apart.
The first person cried, and the second and third also sobbed in a low voice, and soon the crying became one
Fortunately, everyone was crying and eating hard. Perhaps, this is the last meal they will eat, but they will not be full? The starving ghost doesn't have the strength to be reincarnated!
Zhao Xiyan's eyes were hot, and he chewed hard silently. Drink a bowl of hot soup, eat a steamed bun, and half a plate of meat slices are also eaten.
She didn't say anything, and let the crowd weep. The emotions are too tense, and I always have to vent one or two.
When everyone was full and the crying slowly stopped, Zhao Xiyan got up.
Zhao Xiyan looked at everyone's faces one by one, and his voice was much softer: "Don't be afraid, everyone, wait patiently for the good news. The prince of Dingguo has already left the palace gate, and he will soon bring 50,000 soldiers from the Iron Guard Battalion to escort him."
