Chapter 429: The prince was assassinated, and the emperor died
Yongzhou is cold, and in the far north, the land of Mingzhou Capital, the climate is already icy and snowy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Echoing the climate is the human heart.
Tens of millions of people's hearts have been cold.
Because today's situation is already in jeopardy.
Yuan Wenchang's army was under the Wuling Pass, besieged heavily, only because of the advent of ice and snow, and stopped the attack, but there is no doubt that once the spring of next year begins, the war is bound to rekindle.
When the time comes, will Xie Yubei still be able to hold on? Don't forget, he is over the age of six, and he has been thinking about it for a long time, fighting and fighting, which has caused some problems in his body and bones. As long as he falls, Wuling Pass will also fall with a bang.
The Liangzhou Iron Cavalry that came to the aid formed a corner with Wuling Pass, but they did not dare to rush forward, because the situation in Liangzhou in the rear was not good. The Mengyuan foreign clan knew that with the transfer of the iron cavalry, the Liangzhou defense line was greatly weakened, and this was a godsend, so the Mengyuan royal family immediately issued a military order to invade at any time.
If that's the case, or maybe it's the last straw that broke the dynasty of Great Xia.
The situation is difficult, the government and the opposition are already wailing, and the people's hearts are desolate. As for the people in the capital, they are also in panic, if it were not for the strict order issued by the imperial court and the city gate closed, I am afraid that many people will choose to flee.
However, the world is so big, where else can you escape?
From the princes and nobles to the common people, they are all confused and frightened.
However, the emperor, who had been bedridden for a long time, was still standing up and did not take his last breath, which was really unexpected by many people. It is said that it was the national teacher who used supernatural means to protect the emperor's life, and it is also said that the emperor took some elixir to prevent him from dying.
It's just that, after all, it's not a way, the emperor himself has never been able to get up to be a director, and his influence is decreasing day by day.
With the arrival of the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry, the prestige of the Seven Princes has risen sharply, he has been running Liangzhou for a long time, and tens of thousands of Iron Cavalry troops are under his command, which alone is enough to establish the status of the Seven Princes. In these years, only when there are soldiers in hand and elite soldiers and fierce generals can they have the right to speak.
During this period of time, a very popular proposal in the court was to let the Seventh Prince ascend the throne as soon as possible to reassure the people.
Today, it is the third day that this heavy snow has continued to fall, and the ground is full of snow, and everywhere you look, it is white.
Outside the Forbidden City, the Seventh Prince, who had participated in a cabinet meeting, walked out of the Shenxiao Gate, his steps were not large, but very steady, his hands were behind his back, and a group of civil and military ministers walked out with him. Everyone's faces were not very good, and their brows were tightly locked.
The Seventh Prince suddenly stood still, looked up at the ice and snow in all directions, and opened his mouth to say: "When it is cold today, it will be freezing three feet......
Before he could continue, he heard a guard shouting: "Be careful!"
Laugh at!
A sharp sound of breaking the air appeared, and a powerful arrow shot out of nowhere, shooting straight at the Seven Princes.
This dark arrow was so fast and fierce that the guards on the left and right saw that they couldn't help it, and they only felt scattered in an instant.
Burst!
The next moment, the long arrow accurately shot into a person's body, and blood splattered.
"Lord Wang!"
"Lord Wang!"
The rapid and frightened cries were incessant, and some of the ministers froze on the spot.
It's just that this arrow didn't hit the Seventh Prince, and at the last moment, a courtier beside the Seventh Prince stepped forward and used his body to block this fatal arrow for him.
Soon, everyone recognized that the courtier who blocked the arrow was Tang Xiantao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who was also an old minister in the court. He has always been the backbone of the camp of the Seven Princes, and fully supports the Seven Princes to ascend the throne as emperor. And at the moment, when the Seventh Prince encountered a life and death crisis, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his life to save him, which shows his loyalty.
"Lord Tang!"
The Seventh Prince stretched out his hand to hold him, only to see that the old minister's heart was almost pierced by a sharp arrow, and the blood was flowing nonstop, and blood was spilling out of his mouth. Unable to speak, he raised his right hand with all his might, pointed to the sky, tilted his head, and passed away.
Whoa!
Countless armor guards ran over and surrounded the Seven Princes and the others.
"Lord Wang, quickly return to the Forbidden City for temporary refuge!"
Soon, the Seven Princes and the others retreated into the Forbidden City.
Outside, whistles rang out one after another, horses' hooves were rushed, and armor rubbed against each other—this was the Imperial Guards searching for the Assassins in full force.
Outside the Forbidden City, the dignified prince was assassinated, which caused the government and the opposition to shake, and the whole city was arrested under martial law.
The next day, evidence emerged that the Assassin was likely from the Dream Bird Tower. And the Dream Bird Tower, which has always been the power of the four princes, is known as "the first river and lake in the capital", black and white. I think that when Chen Sanlang entered Beijing to take the exam that day, he had a conflict with the people in the Dream Bird Building.
These evidences are very sufficient, because the recent situation has become clearer, and the Seventh Prince has received more and more support, and if this continues, his chances of ascending to the throne will become greater and greater, and he will be unshakable.
Unless he's dead!
As long as the Seventh Princes die, the biggest beneficiaries are, of course, the Four Princes.
The spearhead pointed out, irrefutably, although the Dream Bird Building has been in the capital, but when it comes to the level of royal strife, it is not enough, and overnight, it was uprooted.
On the third day, the Imperial Guards surrounded the mansion of the Four Princes. After encountering a certain degree of resistance, he broke into the mansion and captured the four princes who were in the mansion and the five princes.
This incident caused an uproar in the capital, and all kinds of news flew all over the sky. It is rumored that when the fourth prince was arrested, he was emotional, saying that he did not send anyone to assassinate him at all, and everything was framed......
But no matter what, everything has settled, and in the long-lasting battle for dynastic power, it finally ended in the victory of the Seven Princes.
In the battle between the government and the opposition, there are no swords and guns, but they are often more dangerous and treacherous than swords and swords. For thousands of years, all dynasties and dynasties have been like this, and all kinds of layout strategies are not fully shown in the history books.
The main root of the victory of the Seven Princes is that he mastered the powerful Liangzhou Iron Cavalry, and this team also left Liangzhou because of King Qin, arrived outside the capital, and became the pillar of dependence of the entire dynasty.
In other words, the government and the opposition are tired of the endless struggle for the throne. At present, when the national crisis is at hand, we must determine the inheritance of the Son of Heaven as soon as possible, so as to stabilize the situation and have the opportunity to turn things around and revitalize the national style.
Many factors are intertwined, and finally what is known as "historical condition" is formed.
That night, when the news came to the harem bedroom, the emperor on the sickbed sat up after hearing the news, first laughed three times, then cried three times, and finally vomited blood, collapsed on the bed, and could no longer move.
The emperor died, and he lived sixty-five!
