Bai Hua, who had been quietly following them, realized that something was wrong, and immediately whistled to summon the flying eagle who could transmit the message, and put a secret letter into the letter box on the flying eagle's ankle.

Then the eagle was released, and he rode a horse and followed closely behind the army.

The eagle circled in the sky a few times and flew in the direction behind it, and when it just circled a mountain, a hidden weapon below hit it directly, and after a painful roar, the eagle fell, accompanied by a feather, and fell into the hands of a person.

Since Zhao Guifei entered the court, the power of the Zhao clan has been greatly weakened, and many small officials below have avoided fleeing and turned to other camps when they saw that the situation was not right.

Officialdom needs to see the wind and rudder, and betrayal or something here is more frequent than in the barracks.

The emperor has indeed been out of office for a long time because of physical discomfort, but this news has not been transmitted to the front line, and the emperor has specially ordered that the imperial city should not be spread outside, for fear that Shen Tianming, who is far away on the battlefield, will worry.

On an ordinary morning, the birds chirped outside the window, and when the emperor opened his eyes, he shouted the name of his father-in-law in a daze, and when he felt that someone was coming, he naturally put his hand on it.

The man helped him sit up, the emperor half-squinted his eyes and felt that something was wrong, and when he turned around, he found that the person who was supporting him was not the great eunuch Ling's father-in-law, but the king of Chu.

The emperor was surprised: "Ah Hong? Why are you here? ”

The king of Chu took two steps back and smiled softly: "The son heard that his father was unwell and unable to govern the government, and he was very worried about it, so he rushed back to visit." ”

"You're back? What about Amo? The Emperor asked.

"Amo ......" King Chu chuckled lightly and said softly, "Amo is naturally in front of the battle, he is the most authoritative person in the army, so he naturally wants to stay there and help the soldiers annihilate Xiliang." ”

The emperor covered his mouth and coughed, and looked at the King of Chu with a more sharp look: "I haven't announced my physical condition to the outside world, how did you know?" Lu Zhaoyi told you? ”

A slight eyebrow raising movement quietly swept over, the king of Chu didn't look over his head and didn't speak, he was clear about what he wanted, and he was ready to do the consequences of this trip, as long as it succeeded, everything was bittersweet. "Father sent the capital guards out, right?"

The emperor frowned, didn't he ask knowingly?

"You didn't write to ask for help."

King Chu nodded: "Yes, it is indeed the son of the minister who asked for help, but I didn't expect my father to really send out the guards of the capital, in this case, the entire capital will not have military strength, and the son is really worried about the safety of his father in the capital, so he brought the Liu family army over." ”

The emperor's eyes widened, and under the gentle and kind face of the King of Chu, there was such a foul face.

He reprimanded angrily: "You, you dare to bring troops into Beijing without permission, are you going to rebel?" ”

"Erchen doesn't dare!" The king of Chu waved his long sleeves and bowed respectfully, "The son is just worried about the safety of his father, and state affairs cannot be handled without a monarch for a day, so the father can rest assured that he will recuperate in the Qianqing Palace, and leave the outside affairs to the son." ”

"You!" The emperor was directly speechless by the king of Chu, this clear move to seize power and seize power, is it really what his son, who is famous for his gentleness, will do?

Liu Jiajun was already stationed in the school grounds around the imperial city, in a sense, the entire imperial city was under the control of the king of Chu, and in two days, the ministers of the court and the central government would understand what was going on when they saw that the emperor had not come forward for a long time.

When the time comes, those who don't want to stand in line will have to be forced to stand in line.

Leaving the Qianqing Palace, the King of Chu went to Lu Zhaoyi, and the mother and son met again after a long time, and Lu Zhaoyi was excited and worried.

She did it to convey the message to her son, but she didn't want her son to use this method to seek the throne and force the palace by force.

"Mother."

"Son!" Lu Zhaoyi excitedly held the hand of King Chu.

King Chu felt his mother's hands tremble, his face was frightened, as if he had a lot to say.

"Does the concubine have anything to say to her son?" King Chu returned to his usual elegant complexion, which was completely different from the gloomy feeling in the Qianqing Palace just now.

Lu Zhaoyi swallowed, cold sweat on her back: "Really...... Does it really have to be like this? ”

King Chu said lightly: "Don't worry, mother, I have no malicious intentions, I just want to temporarily control the government and the opposition, Bai Shuo and Lin Mo are both on the border of Xiliang, my father's body is getting weaker and weaker, and when the dragon wants to die in the sky, I am the only prince in the court, and everyone will support me as the new emperor." ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi's hands trembled even more, and there was no intention of relieving it.

King Chu frowned, slightly displeased, and asked rhetorically, "What's wrong?" Does my mother think that I came back to the palace this time to kill my father and seize the throne? ”

"No, no, no." Lu Zhaoyi withdrew her hand, her eyes were in a trance, and she deliberately dodged the direct gaze of the King of Chu, since the fall of King Qi and Zhao Guifei, Lu Zhaoyi's heart was very worried, and she was in a dilemma and didn't know how to choose.

In the end, he will wait for His Majesty to announce the candidate for the prince, or will he force the palace to rebel with his son and seek the throne.

This stump incident is in front of her and she is chosen, she is really in pain, she is in pain.

"Mother!" King Chu grabbed Lu Zhaoyi's shoulders with a strong palm, forced her to look at him, and said word by word, "As long as I become the emperor, you will be the queen mother, and the mother and son are expensive, you should support me, not show me here!" ”

Lu Zhaoyi's mental state didn't seem to be very good, and King Chu just made her louder voice, which scared her to the core.

Looking at the timid Lu Zhaoyi, the King of Chu will think of the days when he was oppressed by various forces when he was a child, and Lu Zhaoyi's cowardly eyes are really disgusting.

"That's it!" King Chu turned around angrily and laughed angrily, "The mother concubine can stay in the harem with peace of mind, don't ask about the affairs of the previous dynasty, and the son will deal with it." ”

Walking out of the harem, Liu Ziqing came over from the side to report the situation: "Your Highness, Bai Hua has been following us into the capital, and now he has returned to Baifu." ”

King Chu nodded: "Bai Shuo sent him over mostly because he was worried about the safety of General Bai Jin, so he didn't have to worry about Bai Mansion for now, but the letters sent out from Bai Mansion were all hijacked, and he couldn't let Bai Shuo inform him." ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

On the other side, Bai Hua also found that the letter he sent out during this time had been hijacked halfway, and their messenger flying eagle would fly back after delivering the letter to the destination.

However, none of the Flying Eagles he sent out returned, so there was only one possibility, and the Flying Eagles were all dead.

He didn't think that Feiying died in the process of flying back after passing the letter, it was possible that his whereabouts were discovered, and the King of Chu sent someone to beat Feiying down.

Everything is stable in Bai Mansion, and Bai Jin comes back to recuperate with peace of mind after being injured, but when he asks about the court, he will only occasionally inquire about Bai Shuo's situation in the army.

There was no movement after Liu Jiajun was stationed in the school field outside the imperial city, the whole palace was silent and terrible, and the officials and eunuchs in the army did not dare to squeak, this was a silent contest, it seemed that everyone was waiting for the emperor to die, and then the new emperor would succeed to the throne.

When the king of Chu returned to the dynasty, the ministers in the public knew that the Zhao family was suppressed and seized by the emperor for various reasons after the death of King Qi Xu, and now in the court, there is no one who even shows his face.

The five princes are on the border, and Empress Dehui's mother family has little Buddhist power, so it is unrealistic to confront the full-fledged King of Chu.
