Chapter 264: Seeking power and usurping the throne
Rumble!
When the guards were at a loss and ready to fight to the death, the entire cave suddenly flew with mud, the air exploded, and a white dragon with rolling thunder and lightning tore out of the belly of the golden-winged fire python.
The white dragon folded in the cave and fell to the ground, transforming into Su Yang's figure.
His hand was still tightly gripping Lu Yu's wrist.
Just by glancing at those frightened guards, Su Yang rolled his eyes and fell directly to the ground.
"Your Highness!"
"General!"
......
No one thought that such a tragic thing would happen in this year's winter hunt.
Not only did the guards suffer heavy losses, but many princes and disciples also died in Huangquan, which is definitely a devastating blow to today's Great Zhou.
And when these guards supported Su Yang and Lu Yu and returned to the entrance of the hunting ground, the scene in front of them stunned them.
The guards who stayed behind were all lying on the ground, the queen mother and Yu Xuelan sat on one side, their faces were pale, and Princess Bairong was lying next to her, as if she was unconscious.
Some ministers and those princes and disciples were also kidnapped, and an unknown army surrounded the place, exuding all anger.
Su Yang drooped his eyelids slightly, his eyes were also surprised, he saw Lin Dao guarding next to the dragon at a glance, covered in blood, obviously he had also experienced a big battle.
He looked around and didn't see Emperor Zhou's figure, but even if he guessed, he could understand that Emperor Zhou must be sitting in the dragon's coffin, the breeze was blowing, the brocade curtain was lifted, and a figure was vaguely visible sitting inside.
"What's going on?" Lu Yu was weak, and when he saw this scene, his eyes widened.
He wanted to step forward, but his feet were weak and he collapsed on the ground, and the guards behind him hurriedly helped him up.
Su Yang didn't speak, but for the first time, he took in all the surrounding situations in his eyes, and he was standing on the opposite side of the forest road.
When Wei Taishi noticed their arrival, he also pursed his lips and smiled, and even bowed his hand slightly towards Su Yang, and said, "Your Highness...... No, it should be Your Majesty, the old minister has lived up to His Majesty's trust and has completely controlled the overall situation. ”
"What?"
Su Yang couldn't figure it out, but just thinking about it slightly, his heart was shocked.
This Wei Taishi is really vicious, he wants to let himself plot to usurp the throne and completely kill himself.
Obviously, Wei Taishi has long known that he is not the real Yu Wenxin, which is enough to prove that he is the murderer behind the poisoning of the crown prince and the princes.
Su Yang glanced sideways slightly, and found Wei Yuxin and Wei Jingcheng sister and brother who were being detained on the periphery.
"Your Highness......" Lin Dao looked at Su Yang, Wei Taishi suddenly attacked, and the battle took place unprepared.
And Wei Taishi said that he was just obeying the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, which made Lin Dao not believe it, so he resisted desperately.
"Master Wei...... What a means. Su Yang didn't go to look at Lin Dao, but squinted his eyes and stared at Wei Taishi tightly.
"To be valued by His Majesty, the old minister should do his best. Wei Taishi said with a smile.
"Your Highness, ...... you" Lu Yu stared at Su Yang with wide eyes, as if he wanted to hear an explanation.
"Xin'er...... You are too confused, the throne will be yours sooner or later, why would you do such a rebellious thing......" The queen flickered with tears, looked at Su Yang, and shook her head again and again.
Su Yang's face was gloomy, since he had been forced into such a situation without knowing it, any explanation was already pale and powerless.
"Wei Taishi plotted to kill the princes and blame the three princes, which is insignificant compared to this. ”
"Your Majesty is still well led, and the old minister is ashamed. ”
Su Yang sighed secretly, Wei Taishi only needed this sentence to disintegrate all his statements that could be turned over.
This old thing is really powerful, this calculation technique, even Su Yang is ashamed of himself.
Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy.
"Taishi Wei is doing things for me?" Su Yang's heart suddenly moved, and he asked with a smile.
"Naturally. Wei Taishi nodded, noncommittal.
"Then I command you to let them all go. Su Yang said with a smile.
Wei Taishi raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, how can there be a woman's kindness now?"
"Can't I suddenly regret it?" Su Yang was barely able to stand, pushed away the guards on both sides, and staggered to the queen and Yu Xuelan.
The queen hurriedly rejoiced: "Xin'er, knowing your mistakes can improve a lot, and I believe Your Majesty will forgive you." ”
Su Yang shook his head, but he didn't pay attention to it, but turned towards Wei Taishi, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter, what I said doesn't work? Or is it that Wei Taishi ...... You want to betray me?"
This is the anti-general army.
Since you keep saying that you are my person, then I, the rebellious mastermind, have given up, so do you still have to commit crimes as a subordinate?
After all, this is a usurpation of power, and no matter whether it succeeds or not, the offender will not be able to end well.
And as a person who obeys orders, there are only two choices, one is to abandon the weapon and surrender, and the other is to stand up and become the mastermind.
Obviously, the latter will be more culpable.
However, Su Yang also knew that since Wei Taishi had already done this, how could he be afraid of this?
If you win, you will ascend the throne and become emperor, and if you lose, your head will fall to the ground, and there is no third option.
Seeing that Wei Taishi didn't speak, the queen hurriedly shouted: "Wei Haocang, didn't you hear Xin'er's words, hurry up and let your people retreat, for the sake of you being the elder of the two dynasties, maybe you can still spend your old age in peace, don't make mistakes again and again!"
"When is it a woman's turn to interject here?" Wei Taishi smiled coldly and said to Su Yang: "Your Highness is still too young, and now you regret it, and it is difficult to become a big deal." ”
"So what is Wei Taishi going to do?"
Wei Haocang shook his head again and again, and said with a smile: "So I said that you are too young, and now the old man occupies the right time and place, how could he give up such a feat because of your words!"
"You don't want your secret to be made public, right?"
"There is a bowl of soup and medicine here, you personally feed Your Majesty, and the old man will also save you a face and not reveal your secrets. ”
A person walked out next to him, holding a bowl of soup and medicine, and said, "Your Highness, please." ”
Su Yang silently took the decoction, and the man was very considerate to help him lift the curtain in front of Emperor Zhou.
At the moment when he met Emperor Zhou's eyes, Su Yang's heart was shocked, because Emperor Zhou's expression was extremely calm, without the slightest wave.
"Please serve Your Majesty with medicine immediately. Wei Hao said with a smile.
"There's poison in here, right?" Su Yang looked down at the decoction in his hand.
Wei Haocang's face was straight, and then he kowtowed and said sincerely: "Your Highness is too kind to a woman, old minister...... It's also for His Highness's sake. ”
"Master Wei sent someone to assassinate me before, right?" Su Yang looked at him indifferently.
Wei Haocang frowned slightly, waved his hand to the side, and the middle-aged housekeeper with the broken arm walked out.
"Your Highness, we meet again. The middle-aged butler stepped forward and arched his hand with a smile.
And Wei Haocang silently took out a dagger from his cuff, and under Su Yang's sight, stabbed into the back of the middle-aged housekeeper's heart.
