In the lobby of the Criminal Department, Prime Minister Wan Wenbi and Yang Weiguang, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, were still sitting nervously.

Yang Weiguang turned his head and said: "Wanxiang, you say, in another half an hour, what will be the ending waiting for you and me?" ”

Wan Wenbi shook his head, "It doesn't matter, the old man has already moved all his family members out of the city overnight, and the big deal is death." ”

and Yang Weiguang, who had a family of nearly 100 people, looked shocked and stared at Wan Wenbi speechless for a while.

Wan Wenbi laughed, "Do you really think I dare to do this?" Not to mention whether doing this rashly will startle the snake, so that it will damage the overall situation, that is, it will not hinder the overall situation, and the new monarch and that Xia Langzhong will be able to bypass me in the future? Brother Ziming, your performance today is not like your usual wisdom! ”

Yang Weiguang was teased by Wan Wenbi and laughed dumbly, "If you care, it's messy, if you care, it's messy!" ”

Wan Wenbi was actually so nervous in his heart, his smile slowly disappeared, and he said softly: "Brother Ziming, why are you willing to stand up and support Concubine De and the King of Jiaodong County?" ”

Yang Weiguang thought for a while, "Perhaps, it's the first emperor and the crown prince, both of whom are disappointing." ”

"What does this person mean?"

"The world."

Wan Wenbi nodded, "Yes, I don't know if God will give me a third chance in Daxia." ”

As soon as the words fell, a figure rushed in quickly and shouted, "Xiangye! Your Majesty, oh no, the crown prince was captured, the forbidden army surrendered, and Prince Xia has already brought the king of Jiaodong County into the palace! ”

The two of them stood up suddenly, and in a bit of a trance of disbelief in surprise, they really won so smoothly?

Wan Wenbi laughed, "Brother Ziming, let's go, go meet our third chance!" ”

Yang Weiguang happily twisted his beard, "Go!" Let's go and meet this new Son of Heaven and see this new world! ”

——

"Quick!"

"Hurry up!"

When Jingzhao Yin, Han Xueming and Xing Shigu rushed to the outside of Donghua Gate with people, the battle inside and outside the gate was over.

Only the soldiers who collected the corpses of their comrades, and the blood flowing all over the ground, silently told the tragedy and stalemate of Fang Cai.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Han Xueming regretted it in his heart!

Although he is not the kind of person who is hungry for profit, but in this situation, he only hates that he has lost two legs, and he has brought people with him, but he has missed the key battle situation, and it is almost certain that the credit will be greatly reduced.

Xing Shigu saw that the great thing had been accomplished, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he didn't have too many regrets, seeing Han Xueming's expression, he stepped forward with a smile, "My lord, please rest assured, we all see your merits in our eyes, and we will definitely tell Concubine De Niangniang and the king of Jiaodong in detail." ”

Han Xueming waved his hand, and was about to say two high-sounding words to cover up the utilitarianism that was inadvertently revealed, when there was a sudden commotion behind him.

"Zheng family! Rush with me! Kill the king and rebel thief, everyone will be punished! ”

"Liu Jiazi, rush me! Be loyal to the country and avenge the first emperor, just today! ”

"The old man has been dormant for more than a month, waiting for this opportunity, swearing to kill the traitor, to uphold the world, the world, and the people, and to Kuang Jiangshan Sheji!"

"From Xing'anbo Mansion, run faster! Kill a rebel thief henchman, reward 20 taels of silver, for the sake of the dynasty, for the first emperor, for the king of Jiaodong County, the old man did not hesitate to go bankrupt! ”

"This official is too Changqing Shen Xingwen, take the whole family to help the king of Jiaodong County, and avenge the first emperor!"

I saw a group of civil and military officials, leading a group of family members with sticks, rushing towards the palace gate.

That posture almost engraved the four words of loyal ministers on the door of his head.

It seems that more than a month ago, those who were busy kneeling in the court to support the new monarch were just others who happened to look very similar to them and happened to have the same official position!

Han Xueming was so angry that he scolded, "They also did it!" Shameless and shameful, insulting Sven! ”

"I've never seen anyone like this, brazen!"

Xing Shigu hurriedly persuaded: "This is also a good thing, it shows that this move of the king of Jiaodong County is deeply popular, and it is also beneficial to stabilize the current situation." ”

Xing Shigu said this, and Han Xueming didn't continue to scold.

He no longer regards Xing Shigu as a subordinate, and knows that this person who still does not abandon Concubine De and the king of Jiaodong County in times of crisis is about to usher in a take-off in his life.

He slowly gathered his emotions and looked at the palace gate, "You say, in this new court, will there still be a group of such people standing on it?" ”

Xing Shigu also looked at the palace gate, his eyes seemed to be about to pass through the high palace wall, and looked at the figure who should be walking towards the Huangji Hall with the king of Jiaodong County at this moment, "At any time, there will be those people in the court, but it depends on what kind of atmosphere prevails." I have faith in him. ”

Han Xueming understood what he meant, and nodded slowly, "Yes." He's still very powerful. ”

With that, the two looked at Miyagi calmly, silently expecting.

——

More than ten miles away, a huge team is running forward.

The panting lieutenant general spoke breathlessly: "General, let's . . . Still. Still going? ”

A strong man with a big waist and round shoulders also gasped slightly, "Go!" Why not go! Hey, damn it, no, stop and catch your breath! ”

"Stop! Rest in place! ”

The adjutant general shouted as if he had been pardoned.

The crowd sat down staggeringly, gasping for air.

The adjutant general looked at everyone, "General, are we really going back?" ”

"Go, how can I not go? Do we know that there is a change in Zhongjing, and we don't care about anything in the camp? ”

"But, when we go, the daylily is cold!"

The strong general turned his head to look at him, "I ask you what about the horse?" ”

Adjutant: ???

"I ask you, what about our horses?"

The deputy general finally understood, and spread his hands, "Aren't our war horses all transferred away by Xiao Xianggong!" That's so ruthless, I didn't have a horse left, oh, I see! ”

The deputy general looked excited, "What the general means is that our horse was snatched away by Xiao Xianggong, so we can only walk, even if we go late, Xiao Xianggong and His Majesty have nothing to say, maybe they can praise us for walking to King Qin, right?" ”

Holy!

The strong man general gave him a blank look and squinted in the direction of the capital.

King Qin?

If His Majesty wins, then it will be King Qin.

If the king of Jiaodong County wins, Lao Tzu will go to congratulate the new king!

"Get up and set off with General Ben!"

——

The battle for Miyagi has come to an end.

After the war subsided, Shang Zhicheng took over the defense as a matter of course.

With his rich experience and incomparable popularity among the forbidden army, whether it was the rearrangement of the entire palace city, or the screening and detention of the part of the forbidden army that had fought with them with Linghu Jian before, it was going smoothly.

As for how to deal with it, it will be after the overall situation of the imperial court is stable, and then he will go to Xia Jingyun to discuss it.

Dong Shenghu and another person who looked like a deputy general followed behind Shang Zhicheng and helped deal with big and small affairs.

After taking a moment, another person whispered: "Commander, if you want me to say, you shouldn't look for the tiger head to go from Donghua Gate, go directly to Xihua Gate, as soon as I see you, I will definitely open the door for you." ”

Dong Shenghu was blaming himself for his previous momentary hesitation that caused the war to almost fall into disadvantage, and he was furious when he heard this, "Lao Cheng, how can you be like this!" ”

The man snorted, "I'm telling the truth!" If you had opened earlier, where would there be so many things, and where would there be so many brothers who had no choice but to follow Linghu Jian, and now they would have ended up like this. ”

"What the fuck you!"

Dong Shenghu snorted, and was about to him with his fists directly.

"Enough!"

Shang Zhicheng said calmly: "Lao Cheng, don't be angry here, if I go to Xihuamen, you will be ridiculed by the tiger head today." Is it really as easy as the word rebellion? ”

He looked at the former brothers who were tied up and detained by Wuhua below, and said seriously, "I will go and intercede for them, I can't stay in the forbidden army anymore, at least try to keep their future." Now, give me peace of mind to guard Miyagi! At this juncture, if something happens, no matter how big or small, no one will be able to intercede for you! ”

Lao Cheng and Dong Shenghu looked solemn and responded with their fists.

Shang Zhicheng stood on the city tower, looking at the pretending ugliness outside the palace wall, the civil and military officials who came in a hurry, and looking at the silent sadness in the city, his mood was quite complicated.

But in any case, it was a win.

"yes, I won!"

His gaze looked into the heavy halls, as if to pursue the two figures, one large and one small.

Miyagi's future has been decided, but the future of the whole world is pinned on those two shoulders.

——

Xia Jingyun led Dongfang Bai, but the first stop was not busy going to the Huangji Hall with the dragon chair.

Instead, under the leadership of Jin Zhong and others, they came to the mourning hall in the palace and came to the coffin of Emperor Chongning.

Because the auspicious day of the zodiac for the funeral has not yet arrived, and the requirements of the funeral agenda, the coffin of Emperor Chongning has been kept with Bingjian, quietly and weakly placed in the palace.

However, this is all a minor problem, and it is not uncommon for an emperor to be buried for months or even a year, and his time is nothing at all.

It's just that these concubines who keep vigil every day and the officials who come to cry and mourn every seven days make Emperor Chongning suffer an unknown amount of slander and scolding after he dies.

Perhaps this is also the black humor of God, so that this lone husband, who usually dares to be angry but dare not speak, will helplessly bear those resentments and curses here after death.

When the figures of the two were cast by the rising sun and cast a long shadow on the people in the hall and the coffin, the concubines of Emperor Chongning who were kneeling in the mourning hall immediately knelt down obediently after being shocked.

Their eyes were full of complexity as they looked at the little figure who walked into the mourning hall under the personal escort of Xia Jingyun and Yue Pingwu.

In the latter part of the reign of the first emperor, after Xia Jingyun appeared, they had speculated that he was likely to be the future emperor;

After the sudden death of the first emperor and the ascension to the throne of the crown prince, they thought that he must be out of play;

But now, like thunder on the ground, after a faint battle, he stood here and in front of them as the final victor.

Although Dongfang Bai at this time was much younger and immature than his prince brother, these concubines felt from his calm eyes, steady pace, and inexplicable calm temperament that he seemed to be more like a prince than the prince.

When they entered, the sensible spiritual officer offered incense and respectfully set up two futons.

Dongfang Bai looked at the coffin in front of him, and his father was lying inside.

Quietly, there will be no trace of the majesty that makes him feel sincere and fearful, cautious and cautious, those frightening glory and power seem to have been ended with life, and now the father and emperor are finally equal to the people of the world.

"Move a stool."

Xia Jingyun commanded softly, and even if someone brought the stool, Xia Jingyun helped Dongfang Bai onto the stool and saw the remains of Emperor Chongning with him.

He lay quietly in the coffin, as if asleep.

His hair was neatly combed, he wore an imperial crown, his face was the same as usual, he had a short mustache, and he wore a robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, and he still had to declare his imperial identity in the world after death.

But in the world, few people care about him anymore.

Xia Jingyun silently looked at this emperor who had a lot of intersections with him, in the first ten years, he worked hard to govern the country, and he was a pro-virtuous minister and a villain, with the image of Daxia concealing Zhongxing; In the next ten years, he was obsessed with power and trickery, but in the compliments of the supreme, he forgot about the people of Limin, so that he finally died.

If the temple number is fixed, a [Xuanzong] is probably very appropriate.

sighed with emotion, Dongfang Bai was incense, but he also cried sincerely for a while, and everyone couldn't help but sigh that this son of heaven who was about to ascend the throne was indeed a benevolent and filial king.

——

Squeak!

The door of the East Palace, which had been closed for several days, was slowly pushed open, making a dull and dry sound.

The prince of Jingzhong, who had been listening to the cries of battle for a long time, looked nervously at the gate, waiting for a result that would affect the fate of all of them.

They gather together, as if to gain strength from the crowd to fight the fear of the unknown.

When the door was pushed open completely, a woman appeared in their sight.

The face that does not apply powder, but it does not reduce the beauty by half;

A simple skirt without complicated court patterns, but it is the ultimate grace and elegance in the world;

She walked in with a calm step, and the gentleness of a person suppressed the murderous aura that was waiting for her in armor and gun.

Elegant and noble, peerless.

"Concubine De?"

"Concubine De Niangniang?!"

An exclamation sounded, which was a consternation for the person in front of them, and even more for the things that this person could represent in front of their eyes.

Your Majesty, oh no, Prince, actually lost?

Concubine De slowly spoke: "The prince has no virtue, killed the king and killed his father, usurped the throne and became the emperor, fortunately, thanks to the joint efforts of people with lofty ideals, he is not afraid of power, holds high the banner of righteousness, and avenges the first emperor." Now that the crown prince has been captured, and the king of Jiaodong County has entered the palace to preside over the overall situation, do you have any objections to this? ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, all hesitating.

Only from the perspective of interests, although Concubine De occupies Zhongjing, Xiao Fengshan, the British Duke still have tens of thousands of troops outside, and there are only three states in their hands.

What's more, many of them have benefited in the process of the prince's ascension to the throne before, and the king of Jiaodong County has come to power, can he continue to guarantee it?

Moreover, if the new monarch ascends the throne and the support behind him is insufficient, it is the time for them to negotiate with him and compete for the power of the new dynasty.

So, an old prince took the lead in speaking: "Concubine De, this new monarch ascends the throne, what about the prince's measures to take power?" ”

Concubine De said calmly: "The crown prince usurped the throne and ascended the throne, and once he should be rewarded, he should be abolished and withdrawn. ”

Immediately, someone spoke: "The change of imperial power has nothing to do with us, all the rewards come from above, and we are courtiers, subservient to the will of the superiors, why should you take it back?" ”

Between the words, it was quite polite, and it was clear that it was the gentleness and generosity that Concubine De had always had.

Concubine De frowned, "The death of the first emperor is full of suspicions, whether it is the royal family, the princes and important ministers, they are all favored by the first emperor, the crown prince killed the monarch and usurped the throne that day, can one of you stand up and say something wrong?" Today, the people with lofty ideals fought at the palace gate, and finally set things right, this palace thought that you were imprisoned here, and never blamed you for not going to war, and you are still bargaining with this palace here? Have you fed all your conscience to the dogs? ”

If Xia Jingyun was standing here, or even Shang Zhicheng, Yue Pingwu and other martial artists were standing here, saying such words, everyone would be afraid that they would only shrink their necks and admit it.

But it was such a woman as Concubine De, a person from a small family with no roots, and a person who had always been known for her generosity and benevolence, so they boldly became angry.

Of course, they are not stupid, it is impossible for them to directly show some opposition to the enthronement of the king of Jiaodong County in the current situation, but to take a posture and take the opportunity to force Concubine De to give some promises and concessions in the name of the clan and the prince.

Imperial power belongs to only one person, so imperial power can never rule the world alone.

"Concubine De, you can't say that, the story of killing the monarch has not been publicized. As the crown prince is the prince, it is only natural that he will succeed to the throne after the death of the first emperor. But now, I'm afraid that some teachers are unknown, right? ”

"We are all our own people here, everyone understands some things, we can give you this face and set the name, but you also have to give us face, do you say this is the truth?"

"Concubine De, don't forget, there is still the land of Kyushu outside the world, and there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers of Xiao Fengshan and the British Duke outside, so we have to unite as one!"

Everyone spoke one after another, and Concubine De lowered her head slightly, looking a little helpless.

The corners of many people's mouths are coldly curled, you are a woman from a small family, you don't have the power of your mother's family, can you catch this pouring wealth?

What about you taking down Miyagi? If you want to sit firmly on the throne and sit firmly in the world, you don't have to rely on everyone's help.

After a moment of silence, Concubine De spoke: "This matter will be discussed with people in detail, and if you are willing to enter the palace at this moment and meet the new emperor, please come here." ”

Everyone was silent, most of them standing with their arms folded in a fearless manner.

Only a few people stepped forward and stood on the right hand side of Concubine De's gesture.

The head of the Qin family was naturally the fastest one.

King Cheng hesitated for a moment, thinking of Xia Jingyun's figure, and finally gritted his teeth and stood over.

But that's about it.

The rest of those who didn't move looked at only a dozen people following Concubine De, and their hearts were even more proud, even if the first emperor was so authoritative, they, the imperial princes, were not afraid of him, the court law was helpless against them, and the people were all enjoyed by them, the emperor was the supreme, but they were the real masters of the country.

Concubine De and the king of Jiaodong County were lucky enough to ascend the throne, and it was the time to take the opportunity to expand their power, and the more they can survive at this time, the more calm they can be, the greater the future benefits will be.

Concubine De looked at them, her eyes calm, and she didn't see a wave.

It was this calm that made these people suddenly feel a little wrong, how could she not panic?

Obviously, at this time, she should make concessions, and then the two sides will have some tugging and negotiations, and finally each will promise a part of the benefits, reach a final collusion, and then enter the palace together to support the new king?

Why didn't she speak?

Just when everyone's hearts were furious and they were forced to calm down, Concubine De finally spoke, but as soon as she spoke, they were all distracted.

"The crown prince Dongfang Ming was extremely vicious, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he wanted to coerce the princes of the Manchu Dynasty to protect himself, and he tried his best to rescue them with the patrol battalion, but he still only saved these more than ten princes, and the rest were all slaughtered by the prince's remnants, and the Manchu Dynasty was sad."

Her eyes stared straight at Yang Yinghui, Yang Yinghui's heart was shocked, she didn't expect this seemingly gentle lady to have such a ruthless and decisive heart.

Immediately, he smiled bitterly, this is to force him to hand over a real letter of nomination to the new emperor and the new dynasty, with this letter of nomination, he is really determined that it is impossible to turn back, and he can only follow the king of Jiaodong County to the dark.

However, since the king of Jiaodong has become His Majesty, he is afraid of a ball!

After this vote is handed over, can the future glory and wealth be less?

Thinking of this, he waved his hand, and the soldiers under his command surrounded everyone in the field.

"Concubine De! You dare! ”

"Border, dare to do such a rebellious thing!"

"! I was wrong! Niangniang, I am willing to support the new king!"

"! It's just distracted below, Niangniang, my loyalty to you is absolute! ”

"Yun Qingzhu, you slut who rides thousands of people and sleeps with thousands of people! You don't have to die well! ”

"Dongfang Bai rebelled, under the pretense of a false name, the people of the world will not obey him!"

The people who were surrounded saw that things were not going well, and they intimidated, threatened, begged for mercy, scolded angrily, and cried, and reacted differently.

Concubine De didn't care anymore, looking at the more than ten survivors who were in a cold sweat, "Princes, please?" ”

"Thank you, Niang!"

Everyone swallowed their saliva and honestly followed behind Concubine De and went to Miyagi.

Listening to the sudden scream of fighting behind her, Concubine De squinted her eyes slightly.

Gao Yang once said that the decline of the dynasty often lies in these intertwined interest groups, since this is the case, then burn it! Burn out a frank and clean, just so that their monarchs and ministers can let go.

This matter, if you want to be a generation of Ming Jun and a saint, you can't do it, and if you want to be a generation of famous people, Gao Yang, who is a saint, can't do it, so let her come.

A woman in the deep palace, what can I do if the future generations slander me?

The wind blew gently, and Concubine De Yun Qingzhu calmly walked into this palace that others yearn for, but are about to imprison her for the rest of her life.
