Chapter 183: Change
The Zichen Hall was in a mess, blood was splashed three feet on the high platform, and the blood stained the throne red, and the third prince Zhao Qin cried and laughed, behaving like crazy.
"I am the lord of the world, I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty hahaha!"
"Father, why are you dead, why are you saying goodbye without saying goodbye. ”
"Knock knock. There was a knock on the door outside, and it was particularly terrifying in the dark Zichen Palace.
"No, I didn't kill the person, I didn't kill it......" Zhao Qin's face was covered with blood, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground.
With a squeak, the door of the Zichen Hall opened widely, and Duanmu Xuan stood outside the door, unable to see his expression under the golden mask. Behind him, it was Xu Song's father and son.
"Commander, help me, help me!" Zhao Qin knelt on the ground, tugging at the corner of Duanmu Xuan's clothes.
"How can I help you?" In the night, the firelight illuminated Duanmu Xuan's mask, revealing his expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"I'm willing to give you half of the country, as long as you assist me and assist me in becoming the emperor!" Zhao Qin said incoherently, and when he saw Duanmu Xuan's back, his expression instantly froze.
"What, you still want to bribe me?" This faint sentence made Zhao Tan's heart suddenly drop to the freezing point.
Hundreds of armor soldiers held torches high and surrounded the Zichen Palace, and dozens of archers drew their bows and arrows, and the tips of their arrows pointed directly at Zhao Qin.
"I have a jade seal, I am the emperor, who dares to touch me! Xu Song! You are the opposite!" Zhao Qin took out the jade seal from his arms and scolded loudly, because he was extremely excited, and his steps floated in vain.
As soon as hundreds of armor soldiers saw the jade seal, they didn't dare to move, they looked at each other left and right, and the bow in the hands of the archers couldn't help but let go. The jade seal is a symbol of the power of the Tang Dynasty, and it is the thing in the hands of the emperors of all dynasties.
"And you!" Zhao Qin took a few steps back, pointing at Duanmu Xuan with one hand, his handsome and modest face was full of hideousness at this time.
"It's... Father, what should we do. Xu Mo also had no idea, so he could only watch Zhao Qin retreat into the Zichen Hall step by step.
"What, do you want to rely on the formation of His Majesty's bedroom to resist stubbornly?" Duanmu Xuan took a step forward gently, like a landslide in Zhao Tan's heart.
"Do you see the jade seal, kneel down!" Zhao Qin was stubble, and a trace of panic had flashed in his eyes.
"Third Highness, do you really think that you killed the king, and you still want to go out intact?" Duanmu Xuan sneered, and with just a wave of his sleeve, the jade seal flew out of Zhao Qin's hand and fell straight into his sleeve.
"Take it!" Xu Song saw that the third prince had no jade seal, and immediately ordered to be arrested.
"Duanmu Xuan, you have always treated me as an outcast! I want my royal family to fall, and then you will benefit!" Zhao Qin didn't understand until this moment that he was just being used by the waning moon and became a stepping stone for others to control the Tang Dynasty.
"Full of gibberish, put me in prison!"
Zhao Qin saw a few armor soldiers surrounding him, and threw out a pile of talismans as if he didn't want money, but when he wanted to retreat, his feet seemed to have roots, and he couldn't move at all.
"Draw the ground as a prison!Duanmu Xuan, you can't die well!" Zhao Qin found that he had fallen under the spell of the Jinyi Guard, and his face was full of resentment.
Several armorers were repelled by the talisman, all of them were slightly or seriously injured, and their armor looked tattered, but they still stepped forward to seal Zhao Qin's cultivation and took him down.
"Alas, I didn't expect that I would encounter such a thing just by being ordered by His Majesty to go out. Duanmu Xuan sighed, revealing a distressed look.
Xu Song's father and son immediately understood, ordered the scene to be kept, and waited for the people from Dali Temple to go to the screening.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, the lights are bright, and the people in the Mansion come and go, most of them are powerful ministers who come to stand in line.
"Father, what is the purpose of the Jinyi Wei Commander handing over the jade seal to us. Xu Mo stood in front of the court, with a lewd smile on his bloated face, obviously asking knowingly.
"If we kill the king, I am afraid that we will be scolded by future generations, and it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the court, and there will even be a great crime of punishing the nine clans. Xu Song stroked the rat whiskers and said leisurely.
"Father means ......"
"The third prince is the abandoned son of Wanyue, and Wanyue took advantage of his ambitions to cheapen us. Xu Song took a sip of sake, looking very comfortable.
"Prime Minister Gao Jian, the only thing to worry about now is only Zhao Ting south of the Tianjiang River. In the darkness, the strategist whispered.
"I hope you can tell us what to do next. Xu Song looked at the people coming and going in the council room, and his tone revealed respect.
"Don't be in a hurry to do something to them first, Duan Ping is not a simple character, as long as he ......" the strategist whispered, causing the father and son to nod frequently.
Duan Ping, who was on the front line, never expected that it was the three princes who acted in advance, causing Xu Song's father and son to be able to grasp the government and rely on the jade seal to abolish the establishment.
The next day, the bad news came out of the capital, the Tang Dynasty mourned the whole country, and every household hung white cloths.
Marriages were postponed, the whole country was not allowed to make smoke and rice, all ate cold food, hundreds of officials wore mourning clothes, and the princes of various states and counties paid tribute to more than 3,000 skilled craftsmen and stepped up the construction of imperial tombs.
The soldiers on the front line ceased fighting for three days, retreated thirty miles into the city, wore linen and filial piety, and the princes ordered not to enter Beijing.
In that year, there was a drought in the north and south of the Tianjiang River, and there was no grass, and countless hungry people could not pay taxes and went into exile.
Xu Song's father and son relied on the jade seal, falsely passed on the edict, abolished the prince, and set up the fourteenth prince Zhao Wen, who was only thirteen years old, as the emperor. He also used the military power of the military department to suppress the fleeing people, received the Royal Forest Army, and Chen soldiers 400,000 on the outskirts of the capital.
The third prince, Zhao Qin, was convicted of the crime, and after the autumn, he was beheaded and found out his fellow party courtiers, involving more than 8,000 people.
The biggest beneficiary of this palace coup is naturally Xu Song. Zhao Wen was young and had no real power, so he could only worship Xu Song as the emperor. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty eventually became a puppet in the hands of others.
"Father. In the barracks, Zhao Tingsheng burst into tears, holding tightly the token of the class teacher's return to the dynasty in his hand. Hubu Shangshu suffered from Zhulian, and at this time he had already changed people, and the grain line transported from the rear had long been cut off.
"I didn't expect Zhao Qin to do such a thing, there must be something strange about this matter. Duan Ping added a few more strands of gray hair in front of his forehead, and some wrinkles had already appeared on his face. This incident, which he did not expect, disrupted his overall plan to recover imperial power. But even if he is extremely intelligent, he can't understand the reason why the third prince killed Zhao Heng.
"Teacher, now that traitors control the government and exclude dissidents, what should I do? "The edict is printed on the jade seal of the country, if Zhao Ting goes back, he may be poisoned by Xu Song, if he does not go back, he will disobey the orders of the current emperor, and he will be punished as a traitor.
"The court is full of prime ministers, and you must not go back. Duan Ping pondered and meditated, and tore off a few strands of hair one after another.
"How can I let my Tang Dynasty suffer this change, sad, lamentable!" In Cheng's mansion, the old lady Cheng was seriously injured, his corpses piled up, and all the people in the mansion died.
