Chapter Seventy-Six: Forcing the Palace
In the spring and Mu, the glazed tile eaves are slightly clear and transparent in the sun, reflecting a dazzling halo.
It seems that under the influence of the bright spring light, the tense atmosphere in the court a few days ago has gradually subsided, and the petty officials at the bottom do not have to worry about it every time they go to the court, for fear of being affected by the pond fish.
Some officials on the edge gradually relaxed their hearts, seeing that the people who were still biting each other in the face were now meeting to go to Baofu Building for dinner, and they were also having fun as usual.
Undercurrents are surging under the calm sea.
The moonlight passed through the house, leaving white marks on the precious gold velvet carpet.
The furnishings in the house are luxurious and beautiful, and the Huanghuali wood carving bed has put down the purple and gold gauze tent, faintly closing the situation inside.
Dark incense floats.
The beauty rested on the man's chest, her skin was white, and she slept quietly, her red lips moving almost invisibly with her breathing, silently seductive.
There are still tear stains in the corners of his eyes, thick eyelashes, and red marks go down the white jade-like neck all the way down, submerging into the pure white bedclothes.
A thick and powerful arm wrapped around her thin shoulders, holding the delicate little beauty into her arms, the arms were strong, the chest was warm, and a firm sense of security wrapped the sleeping beauty.
Qi Cun looked greedily at the sleeping face in his arms, even if they were together every day, he would never be able to see enough.
It's been a long time.
On the premise of not alarming Qiao Yuan, Qi Cun held her little head and pulled out her arm little by little.
The little beauty's red lips opened slightly, and she unconsciously let out a murmur, but she was really exhausted, turned over and continued to sleep.
Qi Cun lightly put on his clothes and went out.
In the spacious courtyard, there is silence and figures.
The soft moonlight that shone on the inside of the house, but shone coldly on the cold armor, and the white light refracted by the sword almost illuminated the entire courtyard.
Qi Cun took the sword presented by his subordinates, "The guards in the house have been arranged?" “
The look on his hand was serious: "Don't worry, Master Hou, his subordinates are waiting here with five hundred divine guards, and they will definitely protect Mrs. well." “
"Okay." Qi Cun glanced in the direction of the main courtyard, turned his head, his eyes sank, and his face was full of murderous aura.
"If something goes wrong, I'll see you."
"Yes!"
Palace
Inside the Hall of Diligence
Li Min stepped over the threshold, stepped into this place that was out of reach on weekdays, waved his hand, and the palace maids and attendants in the hall all hung their heads and silently withdrew.
There is still medicine fried in the porcelain urn, and the smell of medicine in the hall is permeated.
A few coughs came from behind the Ming Huanglong account: "Water ......"
Li Min hooked the corners of his lips, slowly and methodically walked through the gauze curtain, and came to the dragon bed.
When the emperor saw him, he was really surprised: "Second brother, what are you doing at this time?" “
Li Min bowed his head respectfully: "My father is in poor health, and my sons are anxious and want to share their worries for ...... father."
He bent his eyes: "So, I implore my father...... Abdicate. “
As always, his demeanor makes people feel like a spring breeze, as if such a rebellious remark did not come from him.
The emperor's eyes widened suddenly, unable to believe his ears: "You...... What did you say? You rebel! “
He looked furious, if the people below saw him like this in the past, they would have been so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged the emperor to calm their anger.
"Someone ...... coming"
Li Min didn't stop it, and watched the emperor struggle on the dragon bed for a long time, no one knew better than him that the emperor had already been hollowed out by the drug, and he didn't even have the strength to get up.
Sure enough, after struggling for a moment, the withered hands still hung down weakly.
What the emperor realized: "people ......"
Li Min smiled and said: "Naturally, it was sent by the ministers, father, the hour is not early, you can finish your work earlier, you can rest earlier." “
This rest, naturally, is not sleeping, but on the road.
He took out a holy decree from his sleeve, went outside to get the emperor's jade seal, and gradually approached.
The Emperor struggled back, disappointed and angry: "I think I treat you well......"
But I didn't want to, this sentence stimulated Li Min.
"Treat me well?" The gentle mask shattered violently, and Li Min gritted his teeth.
"I am the same age as the eldest brother, but you have taken him with you since he was a child, and you have personally taken care of his schoolwork. What about me? What have you set your eyes on me! “
Li Min sneered: "In the past, the eldest brother didn't hurt his leg, you always wanted him to be the prince, but now he can't do it, you don't want to establish a prince until now, are you still picking among the royal brothers below?" Except for the three emperor brothers, the oldest of them is only eight years old! “
He suddenly burst out, and the emperor was so frightened that he could not help but retreat, and his bony body trembled.
"I ...... I'm just ......" He anxiously tried to explain, but couldn't find any words, and his face grew more and more desperate.
Li Min sneered: "I know, you still suspect that my mother is unfaithful, and suspect that I am a wild seed!" “
Decades ago, Li Min's mother was originally the daughter of a petty official, married to Zhuma as his wife, and lived a peaceful and happy life.
Who knew that once he entered the palace for a banquet, he was favored by the emperor and forcibly took his wife.
The emperor really spoiled her for a while, sealed Concubine Jing, and later had a prince, which aroused the jealousy of other concubines, so the words about how deep the affection between Concubine Jing and her childhood sweetheart's ex-husband were spread all over the emperor's ears.
Although Concubine Jing finally proved her innocence by death, this thorn still pierced the emperor's heart, and since then she has felt awkward when she looks at this son.
Thinking of this, the emperor was afraid and ashamed, "It's me who is confused, you let me go, I can act as if this incident didn't happen." “
Li Min cleaned up his emotions, and the second prince who was as gentle as jade stepped forward with a smile.
"Since my father can't make up his mind for a long time, I'll come to help, a few imperial brothers are still young and can't afford to carry the burden, the eldest imperial brother is sick, the third imperial brother has nothing to rely on, no one is more suitable than me."
The emperor's eyelids jumped, "Boss, he ......"
Li Min watched with enjoyment as his heart gradually appeared on his face, and said slowly: "I found a Fang Shu Daoist, and he would have already moved when he was in the autumn hunt." “
He was in the dark, didn't report it, watched them throw themselves into the net, and quickly stood up to preside over the overall situation after the ground moved, and fought for a capable reputation.
"That's right, father," Li Min glanced at the porcelain urn of the decoction, which made the emperor have a bad premonition in his heart, "You have a wind cold, why has it been delayed for so long, and it is getting more and more serious?" “
The emperor seemed to have been slapped in the mouth, and his eyes were full of gold stars: "You poisoned?!"
Li Min sneered: "You should have paid my mother for your old life." “
He grabbed the emperor's thin hand and forced him to stamp the decree, his eyes becoming more and more frenzied.
With this decree, he will be the next emperor.
The emperor closed his eyes.
Previously, when the Marquis of Zhenbei came back from Gongzhou and reported the evidence that Li Min had colluded with Zhang Mao, the leader of Gongzhou, for many years and embezzled the state treasury taxes, he knew that this second child was not so gentle.
However, he never expected that he would really dare to kill his father and force the palace.
