The late night of the imperial city seems to be a little cold and terrible, and the glazed tiles that have lost the sun reflect only the cold air everywhere.

The eunuchs and palace maids on duty at night walked with small steps, for fear of alarming the adults sleeping in the room and disturbing their dreams.

In the open square on the east side of the palace, a five-story pentagonal stone platform was built, each side was just seven zhang long, and around it were planted eighty large flags depicting different patterns, which hunted in the wind.

In the middle of the stone platform, there is a bookshelf, with pen, ink, paper, inkstone and a dozen talismans, there is a young man wearing a Taoist robe, holding a wooden sword dancing in front of the table, the steps imply the method of twenty-eight nights, every three steps, there will be a meteor in the sky.

"Emperor Ziwei is falling, the southeast will be bright, the aurora will appear, and a catastrophe is coming!"

Since the weather cleared, the Son of Heaven had to take the civil and military officials to hold a grand sacrificial ceremony every year, in order to pray for a good wind and rain and a good harvest of grains throughout the year.

The young man panicked and his robes were scattered, the wooden sword was put aside, and he fell to the ground, chanting words in his mouth, and his left hand trembled and counted the time.

"Woe to you, woe to you, it's what just happened, come on!

The little boy next to him was just about to answer, but was interrupted by someone raising his hand, "Mr. Gongsun, is there something wrong with such a panic in the middle of the night?"

The person who came was none other than Prime Minister Xue Ju, who had recuperated his spirits tonight and took hundreds of officials to watch this royal farce.

Seeing that it was Xue Juan, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, was helped up by the boy beside him, and tidied up his clothes a little, "Prime Minister, if you don't rest so late, is something happening?"

"Sir's clever calculation, is it the will of God?" Xue Ju looked up at the sky, the stars were shining, and there was nothing unusual, "Alas, the eyes of ordinary people can't see the will of heaven after all." ”

The prime minister did not say it explicitly, but leaned down sideways and made a gesture of please, and all the military officials in the audience were neatly dressed and bowed respectfully.

"Prime Minister, this can't be helped, it can't be done!" Gongsun Qi knows the will of heaven, how can he not know what he is thinking?

The Iron Dynasty's worship of ghosts and gods has reached its peak during this peaceful time, and if the throne is the symbol of power of the Iron Dynasty, then this gossip robe is the symbol of this heavenly way.

Just saw the fall of the emperor star, the palace will inevitably be in chaos, and the prime minister invited him out of the mountain, it is to be sure of everything!

Xue Juan didn't give him a chance to defend himself, and ordered him to be set up left and right and pulled to Tianming Palace.

Tianming Palace is the main hall, the place where the ministers deliberate, and the others have been waiting there for a long time.

The pure fire monk and the ironclad general on the side of the dormitory were still fighting hotly, and the pure fire with their bare hands raised their palms and slapped on the iron hammer, and the bell rattled.

A pair of fleshy palms are actually not a bit of a weapon, and there is a trace of fire, burning the hammer red.

The ironclad general secretly complained in his heart, he was on duty tonight and was ordered to guard the dormitory, it stands to reason that there are still guards in ambush, as well as the two henchmen sent by the queen, why are they all missing at this time?

Seeing that the old emperor had died of rage and was dying, he also had to think about the next family.

"Great monk, let's stop first, I have something to ask you. ”

When Jinghuo heard this, he jumped back out of the circle, "What's the matter? ”

"Are you the empress's man, or the prince's? The old emperor is gone, and we are not enemies, so that I can understand. ”

"Listening to what you mean, are you in a hurry to find a home? Look at your big man, your head is also bright, waiting to see His Royal Highness the Prince, I will help you mention your name, keep it and continue to reuse you. The Pure Fire Monk was also in a hurry to invite merit, and cut off the old emperor's head with a knife in his hand and wrapped it in a yellow cloth.

The two of them rushed in the direction of Jingning Palace, and Jinghuo did not forget to release a few whistle arrows to inform his senior brothers.

A few people in Jingjin over there were playing lively, and suddenly heard the sound of whistles and arrows outside the door, and there was a ray of fire, and they all made a false move and retreated, "It's done, I advise you to go to Tianming Palace and wait for news, and if you go quickly, you can catch up with the new emperor to ascend the throne." ”

Xu Xing looked at a few monks and disappeared, muttered again and again, and did not continue to chase.

"Old man Xu, why don't you chase after you?" the other generals asked.

"A few generals, let's go to Tianming Palace, I'll retire first!" Xu Xing picked up his crutches, raised his legs and left this place, and went straight to the exit of the imperial city.

The people of the rivers and lakes do the things of the rivers and lakes, he Xu Xing is not the master who suffers, and when the things here are settled, it is not too late to come back.

Relying on his ability, he was invited by the old emperor to be an idle official, and he didn't have many constraints.

Before leaving, he took two glances in the direction of Tianming Palace, and depressedly threw out a few golden darts and hit the wall, and disappeared in the thick night.

Inside and outside the Tianming Palace, there were Lan Lingjun guarding everywhere, and the civil and military officials in front of the hall lined up on both sides, and Xue Juan rushed from the direction of the altar with people, and happened to collide with the prince.

"Old Prime Minister, this late night is cold, please forgive me if you come here in person. The prince was full of spring breeze and gave Xue a big gift.

"I can't help it, I can't help it, you're the prince. Xue Juan also bent down, but he didn't call him the Son of Heaven.

The crown prince didn't care, the 60,000 Blue Feather army under his command staying in the capital was firmly in control of the imperial city at this time, and there were seven great swordsmen by his side, who could get closer?

Hundreds of officials give gifts, joys, sorrows, and joys, not to mention, everyone has a small abacus in their hearts, and tonight is about to be liquidated on the bright side.

The queen sat on the seat of the main hall of Tianming Palace early, and there was an empty dragon chair beside her.

A group of maids around him, all dressed and tied, with angry eyes, swords at their waists and soft armor embedded in them.

The prince was also a little stunned when he saw the queen mother, but he still stepped forward to give a salute: "Queen Mother, why are you here?"

"Why can't I come? My child has done such unfilial things, can he still kill his mother!" the queen slapped her chair and stood up, and walked up to the prince and slapped her.

This slap can be regarded as slapping the prince, "Queen Mother, don't you also support me in doing this......?"

"Kneel! Wait!"

The queen's words, even if it was the crown prince, couldn't refute it, she knelt on the ground honestly, and when the civil and military officials saw this, they all knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their eyes to face it.

Chu Chunqiu still wanted to defend something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was stopped by the queen's fierce gaze.

Not long after, in the corridor outside the gate of Tianming Palace, five monks and a general came out, and the monk still carried this burden in his hand, walked into the hall, and threw it in front of the hall.

It's such a big human head, and the bones are rolling on the ground!
