Chapter 149: Tang Wang's funeral
Chapter 149
This night is destined to be an extremely extraordinary night.
Especially for the Tang Kingdom, it was an extremely dangerous night.
There was a cry in the palace of the Tang King, and the eunuchs ran quickly in the palace.
"The king is dead!"
"The king is dead!"
······
One shout after another spread in the palace, and finally spread to the entire Jingshi Tang City.
At this moment, the undercurrent of the entire Tang City surged, and countless forces began to move.
When the Zhenguo General's Mansion came, Qin Zhen was dressed in armor early, as if he was waiting for something.
The Qin woman and Qin An sat on both sides.
Qin An lowered his head and sat with a tired face, did he still yawn.
Qin An didn't understand, it was so late, why did his father still call them up, they had to practice martial arts tomorrow, they were so tired.
Since being grounded by Qin Zhen in those days, Qin An has been practicing martial arts and the art of war day and night under Qin Zhen's supervision.
Mrs. Qin had a sad face, as if she already knew what was going on.
Suddenly, a soldier in gold armor ran in.
"General Qiyu Zhenguo! The king's edict to guard the capital of Tang City! Before the king's body is buried, those who enter and leave without permission will be killed! ”
"Boom!"
Although he had expected it, after getting the news, it was like thunder that made Qin Zhen tremble violently and almost fall to the ground.
Qin Zhen took a deep breath and stood up abruptly.
Qin Zhen knew that now was not the time for him to be sad, he had to fulfill his good brother's entrustment and protect the Tang Kingdom!
Qin Zhen didn't have time to take care of his sad and painful wife and his son, who was in a stunned stupor, picked up the golden long sword next to him and walked out quickly!
"Herald! All the army assembled! Seal the city gates! "Qin Zhen's military order came from afar in the Zhenguo General's Mansion.
Soon, the army blocked all the gates, and some of those who wanted to leave the city were forced back by the soldiers with spears.
Someone even took out some three princes tokens, prince tokens, but they were all stopped back.
Qin Zhen stood at the head of the city, his eyes looking out of the city.
There were a few fast horses that had disappeared into the darkness, and these were all arranged by King Tang during his lifetime.
"Alas! This time, I don't know how many people want to fall to the ground. Qin Zhen sighed lonely.
"General! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came in person and said that he would send people out of the city! A soldier ran up and reported.
Qin Zhen didn't reply, but said coldly: "Tell Your Highness that this is the king's edict, and no one is allowed to leave the city!" If you have time to come here, it is better to enter the palace to pay tribute to the king! ”
"No!"
The soldier quickly ran down and relayed Qin Zhen's words to the crown prince.
The prince rode on his warhorse, waiting for the news to come.
Many of his followers are outside the Beijing Division, and if his own people can't go out to dispatch troops, they will lose a lot of strength.
However, the prince never expected that the gate of the city was guarded by Qin Zhen himself.
Moreover, this is still the king's testament, even if he is the prince, don't think about going out.
"It's my father's order!" The crown prince's brows furrowed.
"Your Highness, what should I do?" The subordinate next to him asked.
The crown prince took a deep breath, "Since this is the case, then go back, this prince is going to enter the palace to see his father." ”
"Your Highness, but the third prince has already gone to the south gate." The subordinate hurriedly said.
The prince sneered, "The prince can't get out, and he can't get out of the third child, go!" ”
The prince immediately took the people and left.
At the south gate on the other side, the third prince almost fought with the soldiers guarding the city with his people.
"Presumptuous! If you don't open the city gate quickly, you can afford to miss the matter of this son! The third prince angrily pointed at the generals defending the city.
The general stood in front of the third prince's war horse, and arched his hand without humility or arrogance: "Third prince, the order we received is to close the city gate, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!" ”
"Presumptuous! Whoever gives the order, even this son dares to stop it! ”
The general looked at the third prince and continued to arch his hand: "It's Wang Zhao." ”
"Fart, the king has been!" The third prince suddenly paused halfway through his speech.
Because he has already reacted, this must be the edict of his father, although his father has died, but before the new king is elected, no one can disobey this edict.
The third prince took a deep breath, and the killing intent in his eyes flashed.
The third prince knew that he would not be able to get out no matter what, unless he fought with Qin Zhen.
Unless he has a sick brain, or he has several times the strength of Qin Zhen, otherwise a fight with Qin Zhen is definitely looking for death!
"Let's go! Let's go back! "Since you can't get out, then don't go out, wait for yourself to ascend the throne and become the king of Tang, and see who can stop you.
After the third prince turned to leave, the general defending the city breathed a long sigh of relief.
The order he got was that if a son forcibly broke through, he could be killed on the spot.
It is true that he will obey this command in full, but if he executes any of his sons, he himself will surely die in the future.
It would be nice to be able to solve the problem so peacefully.
This night, Jingshi Tangcheng is destined to be a sleepless night.
So when the officials got the news, they hurriedly put on their official uniforms and rushed towards the palace.
Under the snowy night, the torches in the city converged into a long dragon and converged towards the brightly lit palace.
There was a cry in the palace, and the eunuchs and maids were all crying.
Although most of the eunuchs and palace maids didn't feel anything about it, they still had to cry on their lips, otherwise they wouldn't respect the king.
The gate of the palace had already been opened, and after the ministers of the court had sorted their clothes outside, they ran in with a crawl.
The acting skills of these ministers are very good, and they are very indifferent outside, but as soon as they enter the door, they cry directly, and the crying is heartbreaking.
Some officials even put on a set of filial piety clothes over their official uniforms, and crawled into the palace while crying.
Kong Wen stood outside the palace, looked at the palace that was crying, and sighed heavily.
"Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived?" Kong Wen asked the palace guards on the side.
The palace guard arched his hand and said, "Back to the prime minister, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the third prince did not come." ”
Kong Wen's face turned dark, and he glanced deeply at the guard.
When he walked into the palace, Kong Wen did not cry, but was very calm and unusually indifferent.
After the other officials saw Kong Wen, they were very puzzled.
The king is dead, why is the prime minister still so indifferent, isn't he afraid of being condemned?
Kong Wen came to the front of the hundred officials, and he had already seen several other princes, but he did not see the crown prince and the third prince.
Kong Wen sighed in his heart, how could His Royal Highness not rush here as soon as possible.
Kong Wen shook his head shallowly, and then knelt on the ground.
After a while, the crown prince and the third prince came to the palace at the same time.
The two looked at each other, their eyes glinting with fire.
"Humph!"
The two of them snorted coldly, flicked their sleeves at the same time, and strode towards the palace.
The momentum of the two of them coming out at this time did not look like they were coming to cry and mourn, but more like they came to the throne and become kings.
