Chapter 251
When the spies reported the news, Jin Ran's eyes lit up and he said happily: "It's finally here!" "The soldiers were immediately ordered to prepare, and the soldiers, who had already been ready to go, did not need to spend too much time to prepare at all, and soon waited in high spirits, intending to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop.
Before the troops, Jin Ran, dressed in military uniform, stood in front of the command platform in the training field and repeated the precautions.
"Even though the enemy has relented, we can't take it lightly, you know?" Jin Ran glanced at them solemnly and said solemnly.
"Yes!" The short and powerful answer showed the confidence and morale of the soldiers.
Jin Ran nodded with satisfaction, showing a smile that lifted the morale of the army, and waved his hand, "Let's go!" ”
Along the way, the army led by Jin Ran was like a bamboo, almost did not encounter much obstacle, the mutinous soldiers in the palace were all drunk and happy, and the remaining soldiers who stayed behind were also unguarded, and there were many people who were drunk.
If the person in the position is of bad character, how good can the people he lead be? When Jin Shu, who was hugging the two palace ladies and was drunk, and his eyes were scattered, he let people kneel under the council hall in rags from the bed, Jin Ran wiped his thoughts---
What if you have a throne? It's just a token for him to call on everyone, enjoy the carnival, and be a prestige! As soon as he ascended to the throne, Jin Shu didn't think about the people of Limin, not about the safety of Lily of the Valley, he couldn't wait for the first taste of Bainuo.
If Jin Shu had guarded her for a longer time, so as to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and not let her have any chance to fight back, she would have appreciated him more, but now this drunk person in front of her like a mess of mud only made her feel deep pain and contempt, how could she have such a younger brother who covets comfort and pleasure? Even if she wanted to give up the throne, she couldn't find a reason.
"Bring water." Guan Luo, who was standing behind Jin Ran, commanded, and immediately two eunuchs carried water and poured a bucket from the top of Jin Shu's head under Guan Luo's instructions.
"What's the matter? What's up? The sudden cold made Jin Shu wake up suddenly, and muttered with blank eyes, looking at the council hall surrounded by the army, he didn't know where he was for a long time.
"Shu'er!" It wasn't until Concubine Xiu's mournful screams came from the door, Jin Shu turned around and saw Concubine Xiu's clothes disheveled, her hair scattered and being held in front of the council hall with a knife, that she was sober and realized that something was wrong. ”
"Shu'er, why ---" Concubine Xiu cried, her voice contained too much unwillingness and resentment, her Shu'er had only been on the throne for a few days, only a few days!
"How so?" Jin Shu muttered, his distracted gaze wandered, and when he looked up and saw Jin Ran sitting on the top position, he jumped up and shouted: "Why are you --- here" In a rage, he wanted to rush towards Jin Ran, but before he could step out, he was suppressed to the ground.
"Where's Li Yuanqiao?" Jin Ran looked at everything coldly, turned his head and asked Guan Luo.
"In the chaos, he escaped, and the minister has sent someone to pursue him, and it is expected that there will be a follow-up soon." Guan Luo replied.
"Concubine Xiu, Jin Shu, are you guilty?" Jin Ran nodded, and turned to Concubine Xiu and Jin Shu, who were kneeling below.
"What sin do we have?" Concubine Xiu stood up arrogantly and shouted at Jin Ran. "Jin Shu is more suitable to be an emperor than you, he is also a dignified son, why should the emperor give up the throne for nothing? He just fought for what he reflected, so what is the crime? ”
"This throne was announced by the emperor, and you are blatantly disobeying the will of the emperor by doing so." Seeing the strong words on Concubine Xiu's face and her unrepentant appearance, the coldness in Jin Ran's words became a little heavier. "Attempting to usurp the throne is a violation of the laws of Lily of the Valley, what is the crime? Aren't these two charges serious enough? ”
"Hey---" Concubine Xiu smiled sadly, the more she laughed, the louder she became, only her sharp laughter echoed in the entire quiet hall, until the laughter gradually stopped, Concubine Xiu looked proud, and said fearlessly: "Lily of the valley law? There is also a book in it that the prince will never be punished with capital punishment, even if we commit a great crime, what can you do to me? ”
Jin Ran's expression sank, she forgot that there was still this law, at most, she could only put Concubine Xiu's mother and son under house arrest in the palace, and the rest of the punishments would be exempted, just because Jin Shu was the prince.
"It could be." Guan Luo, who was standing behind Jin Ran, spoke slowly, his tone firm.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Guan Luo, not knowing what his countermeasures were. I saw that he unhurriedly took out a letter sealed with gold paint from his bosom and held it high above the top, "This is the will made by the emperor before his death, and the emperor ordered that if anyone intends to usurp the throne, it will be announced." ”
Concubine Xiu's face turned pale, and she was uneasy in her heart, didn't that old man die that night? How is it possible to make a will?
"Can the minister read the emperor's decree now?" Guan Luo asked Jin Ran for instructions.
"Mrs. Fu, please." Jin Ran was stunned for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Read the oracle." Guan Luolang said, seeing that everyone knelt down to greet him, he tore open the paint seal.
The content of the holy decree made the faces of the people present change dramatically, Jin Shu was not the prince, Concubine Twenty Xiu was born of adultery with Li Yuanqiao, Jin Ran looked at Guan Luo in shock, this kind of thing was unexpected by her.
"The first emperor was very angry because he found out about your adultery with Li Yuanqiao, and you actually watched coldly, trying to put the first emperor to death, thinking that the first emperor was in a coma, and your affairs would be hidden from the world, and no one knew." Guan Luo reprimanded sharply. "God has eyes, the first emperor suddenly became sane before he died, informed Yu Chen of your affairs, made this edict, and strictly ordered you and the nine clans, even the current emperor will never be pardoned."
"It's impossible, you lied to me, that old man is dying, how can he still wake up!" Concubine Xiu shook her head frantically and screamed.
Her words made everyone gasp, but I didn't expect Concubine Xiu to kill the monarch ruthlessly? Her words were tantamount to an admission of her guilt.
"You thought about it a lot, but you didn't expect that the emperor would have a time to return to the light." Guan Luo reversed the edict in his hand and held it high, and the bright red jade seal seal was revealed in front of everyone. "According to the will of the emperor, the imperial guards will take down Concubine Xiu and Jin Shu, put them in the prison, and wait for the execution of the autumn queen."
"No--- no, no---" Jin Shu, who had been standing, suddenly burst out and shouted wildly, waving his hands to prevent anyone from approaching, "I am the real son, I am, no one can beat me into the prison, no one can." ”
"Shu'er, Shu'er---" Concubine Xiu, who had a bad fruit in Chad, was so shocked that she only shed tears, and stretched out her hand to Jin Shu tremblingly, wanting to seek support, but was violently pushed away and fell to the ground.
"It's all you, if it weren't for you--- the person who sits on the throne of God should be me, it's all your fault!" Jin Shu gritted his teeth and shouted, his eyes burning with a crazy light.
"No--- mother is all for you---" Concubine Xiu cried, not daring to go into detail that her son would accuse her like this.
"It's you who mistook my life, it's all you!" Jin Shu roared, and suddenly rushed to the guards who came to detain him with an arrow step, pulled out the long sword on the guard's waist, and stabbed into Concubine Xiu's heart, ruthless and accurate, and the action was so fast that everyone was caught off guard, and they could only watch this scene happen.
Concubine Xiu's eyes widened, and she didn't snort, she just lay on the ground softly, and bright red blood gushed out, staining the entire floor red. When Concubine Xiu's head hit the ground, the tears in her eyes slowly slid down, her eyes were still open, but they wiped off the brilliance, and only the remaining disbelief told her heartache for her son.
Jin Shu looked at the red-dyed sword body fixedly, the blood color reflected to the pupils, fainted, with the madness of killing, as soon as he raised his head, he just met Jin Ran's gaze, and then Jin Shu smiled. That kind of smile was weird, so Jin Ran couldn't help but be stunned. Jin Shu suddenly jumped forward, and the guards stepped forward one after another to block it, but Jin Shu's attack was with crazy brute force, and it was a desperate counterattack regardless of his life, and the attack of indiscriminate chopping and slashing was so fierce that the guards couldn't stop it, and they were injured one after another.
"You all stand down!" Jin Ran knew that Jin Shu was looking for her, and he thought that he could deal with it, and he didn't want others to get hurt for her, so he drew the sword of one of the guards and stepped forward to block Jin Shu's attack.
"The Emperor's ---" Guan Luo wanted to stop it too late, so he could only watch anxiously and worriedly as Jin Ran was in danger, and there was nothing he could do.
The guards were afraid of a lot of people and a scuffle, and their swords had no eyes, but they were easy to hurt the emperor, so they retreated one after another, and in the end, only Jin Ran and Jin Shu were left in the middle of the hall and couldn't tell the winner. Jin Ran's martial arts are much higher than Jin Shu's, but Jin Shu is already on the verge of madness, and his strength is amazing, which makes Jin Ran fall into a bitter battle.
