……

Before dawn the next day, Mrs. Liu got up early, washed up, and was about to go to the front hall to eat, when a confidant steward hurriedly came to report: "Master, something has happened in the Imperial Prison!" ”

Mrs. Liu perked up: "Oh? What's wrong?! ”

The steward whispered, "King Yong committed suicide, and he ...... last night."

Mrs. Liu was in good spirits, her expression was uplifted, and she couldn't help but shout: "Okay! ”

Isn't it a good thing that the root of this world is dead?

With this good news, his steps are three points brisker than before.

All the way into Miyagi in a sedan chair, as he walked forward, he could not help but express a little joy between his eyebrows when he saw his colleagues waiting outside.

One of his students, on the other hand, approached cautiously and whispered to him: "Teachers should not be so happy. ”

He gestured to him with his gaze: "Look over there—"

Mrs. Liu took the opportunity to look over, but saw that it was Sun Deng, the chief officer of the Imperial Prison, with a slightly dark face and a look of hidden worry.

Mrs. Liu reacted at this time.

The edict was not set up in the palace city, and King Yong committed suicide last night, when the palace gate had already been locked, and it is expected that the Son of Heaven did not know the news.

In the past few days, they have gone in groups to mourn King Yong, which has long caused them to be extremely unhappy today, and they have wanted to scold the courtiers several times, but Yan Chong, the prime minister, and Liu Taifu, who had taught him, gave up on each other with death.

If at this time, the current knowledge of Daoyong Wang Ye had committed suicide in the edict prison last night......

I'm afraid that above the court, there will be a storm soon!

Mrs. Liu's heart was slightly gloomy, and she was overjoyed.

People can't be resurrected after death, so they can only try their best to comfort the saint and relieve his heart, at most, to give King Yong a nice nickname......

When the hour came, the palace gate was wide open, and the forbidden army was next to each other to check the gates.

Mrs. Liu's eyes kept on Sun Deng, the director of the Imperial Prison, and sure enough, after seeing him enter the door, without saying a word, he went to the dormitory where the Son of Heaven was resting, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

At this moment, I heard the sound of chaotic exclamations behind me.

"Who dares to trespass on the Forbidden Palace?!"

"I want to meet the Holy One—"

With the experience of the previous chapter of the six robbers, the forbidden army reacted extremely quickly at this time, first inviting the ministers who were blocking the gate of the palace to take refuge, and then the archers galloped forward to help.

Mrs. Liu only heard the sound of the forbidden army's uniform pace coming from outside the palace wall, but he couldn't guess what was happening outside the wall.

Not long after the courtiers waited outside the main hall where the court meeting was held, the henchmen of the current saint came forward, squinted their eyes slightly, bowed down and said, "The saint invites Prime Minister Yan, Liu Taifu, Pang Sikong, as well as Cheng'en Gong and Yu Guogong to see you." ”

Mrs. Liu realized in her heart that she must have known about King Yong's death by now.

The five of them all went to the imperial study, and after passing through the inner servants, they entered one after the other with the rank of knight.

Cheng Engong and Yu Guogong were okay, and they finally got involved with the royal family, but after Prime Minister Yan Cheng, Liu Taifu, and Pang Sikong entered, the Son of Heaven did not say a word, and smashed the case together.

"You have so much courage - how dare you!"

Li Yuanda's eyes were red, and his grief and indignation were overflowing: "King Yong, he is my fellow brother!" You have to deal with him, and I will put him in prison. You want to cry and mourn, and I will cry for you, but why do you have to force him to death again and again, so you are willing to give up?! ”

"This world, is it my world, or the world you are waiting for?!"

Before a few people entered, they could vaguely anticipate the anger of the Son of Heaven, and although they were frightened at this time, they were not defenseless, and even under the leadership of Prime Minister Yan, they knelt down and bowed: "Holy Lord, the ministers are absolutely selfless, and everything they do is for the sake of the society and the temple!" ”

Yan Chong said bitterly: "Holy Lord, how can King Yong continue to survive in the world if he does such a great rebellion?" If this is the case, who will be willing to keep to himself?! ”

Li Yuanda didn't argue with him about the matter, but only sneered coldly: "The prime minister is so majestic and courageous!" As soon as you give the order, hundreds of officials will go to mourn for King Yong, isn't this kind of appeal a hundred times better than that of me, the Son of Heaven?! ”

"King Yong is the son-in-law of the first emperor, my flesh and blood brother, the prime minister wants him to die in the third watch, and he will not live in the fifth watch. How about I give you this throne?! ”

Isn't that a curse!

Yan Chong's face suddenly lost blood, took off his official hat, and bowed repeatedly: "Holy Enlightenment, how dare the minister have such a rebellious thought?" The old minister swore to heaven that he would never be disloyal or unfilial, and if this statement was false, heaven and earth would not tolerate it, and man and God would condemn it! ”

Li Yuanda's expression was indifferent, and he smiled very faintly: "People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who knows?" ”

Fu choked up again: "I only know that my brother of the same father and mother died alone in the edict prison last night!" ”

After that, he cried loudly and mourned.

If this is the case, let alone Mrs. Liu and Pang Sikong, even Prime Minister Yan, who has just been condemned, can't say anything more.

In the end, it was a waiter who rushed in to break the bleakness of the room.

"Holy Lord, Mama Chen brought the Empress Dowager's widow's edict here-"

Everyone in the imperial study was shocked.

Li Yuanda's face was full of tears, he looked up in astonishment, and choked up: "Where is Mama Chen?" Quickly invite her old man in. ”

The waiter's face was sad.

Seeing this, Li Yuanda said sharply: "Why, if I can't call the courtiers, can't I call you too?!" ”

Several important ministers couldn't help but bow their heads.

But he heard the inner servant tremble and say: "Mama Chen, Mama Chen, she has died of exhaustion!" ”

Li Yuanda was shocked: "What did you say?!" ”

He grabbed the chamberlain's shirt: "What's the matter?!" ”

The chamberlain cautiously and quickly told the Holy Lord the news he had learned: "Just now, there was an embarrassed and seriously injured old woman who was about to break into the forbidden palace, and there were people chasing after her, and the forbidden army hurriedly detained her, but I heard the old woman claim to be a close maid who had served the Empress Dowager in the past. ”

"A few days ago, she wanted to save His Royal Highness King Yong with the Empress Dowager's last edict, but as soon as she left the palace, she was caught, imprisoned, and tortured......

Li Yuanda said in a trembling voice: "The queen mother actually left an edict? ”

He hurriedly asked: "Where is the edict?!" ”

The waiter hurriedly said: "I have already sent someone to the Yongwang Mansion to fetch it!" ”

Li Yuanda suddenly lost his soul, let go of the hand that grabbed his shirt, and sat back in a daze.

Several important ministers exchanged glances with each other, and for a while, no one dared to make a sound.

Not long after, an attendant hurriedly came: "Follow Mama Chen's last words and find the edict left by the Queen Mother." ”

The attendant said cautiously: "Holy Lord? ”

Li Yuanda swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said astringently: "Present it." ”

The waiter responded.

He took it in his hand, unfolded it and looked at it carefully, the blood on his face became more and more intense, his brow trembled in pain a few times, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spat out.

Everyone was shocked, and Mrs. Liu didn't even care about etiquette, and stepped forward to support the mourning Son of Heaven: "Holy, holy!" ”

He commanded left and right again: "Don't you go to the imperial doctor yet?!" ”

Cheng Engong picked up the edict of the Empress Dowager who fell to the ground and looked at it, his expression was also quite sad and indignant, and he went close to squeeze Mrs. Liu away, and personally supported the emperor's nephew, and was furious: "How can you have the face to claim to be the pillar of the country when you claim to be a minister, but you are doing things here to persecute the Son of Heaven?!" ”

"King Yong is guilty, King Yong deserves to die, but don't forget, there is only one person in the world who is qualified to give him death, and that is the Son of Heaven.

He cried again: "Before the Queen Mother died, she was most concerned about King Yong, and the Holy Lord has always been friendly with King Yong, you forced King Yong to death, so that the Holy Mother violated the Queen Mother's edict, how can you still have the face to continue to be a gentleman in the court!" ”

The breath that Li Yuanda had been holding in his heart finally came out with difficulty.

He wept loudly, and his grief was almost like he wanted to vomit out his heart and liver: "I am the son of man, but I have disobeyed the will of my mother so much, after I die, how should I go to see the high temple, and how can I go to the tomb!" ”

He supported his body again, and said in a fierce voice: "My words are the wind in my ears, you dare to turn a blind eye to the Queen Mother's edict, what else do you dare not do?" They are not human ministers! ”

For his subordinates, there is no harsher accusation than "inhuman ministers".

If this is the case, not only Prime Minister Yan, but even Mrs. Liu and Pang Sikong also took off their official hats and kowtowed to ask for guilt.

At this time, the Duke of Yu came on the field and made a mud: "Several old ministers are also worried about Sheji, so this is the case, and there is a little ...... of transgression."

He also stood on the side of the Son of Heaven and rebuked several courtiers: "But someone dares to detain the female official of the Empress Dowager's maid before her death, causing her to harm her life, so that the Holy One disobeys the order of the Empress Dowager Dingling, and it is even more a crime that cannot be punished!" ”

No one knew who had sent the person who had detained Mama Chen, and in the hurry, no one had the heart to explore these things anymore.

It's just that at this point, someone has to come forward to clean up the mess, and correspondingly, someone has to be responsible for the whole thing.

Prime Minister Yan trembled and bowed down: "The minister is the prime minister, the ruler of hundreds of officials, old and mediocre, there is a mistake of negligence, and there is no face to serve the Son of Heaven, the minister is now begging for bones......"

Li Yuanda had no intention of retaining, and spit out a cold voice: "Accurate!" ”

Pang Sikong also hurriedly echoed: "The minister is the same age as the prime minister, and he is also begging for bones!" ”

Li Yuanda's face was frosty, he looked at him coldly, and said again: "Accurate!" ”

Subsequently, Mrs. Liu also took the initiative to ask Zhishi.

Li Yuanda's tone was a little softer than the previous two: "Is Taifu also going to leave me at this time?" ”

Mrs. Liu sighed: "The minister is shameless to say goodbye to the Holy ......."

Li Yuanda didn't say for sure, and he didn't say for sure, and the imperial doctor came over at this time.

He waved his hand a little tiredly and sent the courtiers to retreat.

Several important ministers who had been in power for many years retreated silently, and the moment before closing the door, they heard the Son of Heaven whispering to his attendants.

"Brother Huang, is he really leaving?"

The chamberlain replied in a low voice.

The voice of the Son of Heaven was a little choked: "He is three years younger than me, he has not yet started a family, and he does not even have a descendant to sacrifice." ”

Immediately afterwards, he said weakly: "As my elder brother, how can I see my younger brother die without one?" Decree to pass on the second son of the emperor born to Concubine Shu to King Yong as his heir......"

The chamberlain panicked: "Holy Lord, there are only a few princes under your knees!" ”

But he heard the Son of Heaven crying, "Son, what's the matter? If it is feasible, I really wish to exchange myself for the emperor's brother to live! Don't be verbose, go and preach the message......"

Chapter 77

As soon as the Son of Heaven passed on the second son of Concubine Shu to King Yong, Concubine Shu fainted.

After waking up, he cried on his bed, and hurried to the Xuanshu Hall to plead with the Son of Heaven.
