The gate of Xingqing Palace.
The people on both sides are at war with each other, and a small move may trigger a bloody killing.
Concubine Xue Gui and Zhao Wang, the mother and son, came out of the palace, stood on the steps, and faced Liu Zhao.
King Zhao wanted to humiliate Liu Zhao, but was stopped by Concubine Xue.
Concubine Xue took a step forward and said loudly: "Liu Zhao, you led troops into the palace, you are rebelling, do you know that?"
Liu Zhao's armor was stained red with blood, and it was all other people's blood.
His eyes were firm, his expression was solemn, and he smiled coldly, "Uncle Zhao and Uncle Yan were able to lead troops into the palace. My nephew is just following the example. How can we talk about rebellion? Speaking of rebellion, the real rebels are clearly Empress and Zhao Wang. You mother and son are the rebellious officials and thieves who have harmed the country and the people."
King Zhao was furious, "Liu Zhao, you are courting death!"
Liu Zhao smiled contemptuously, "Uncle Zhao Wang dares to fight with my nephew?"
"Why don't you dare!" After Zhao Wang finished speaking, he was about to end up in a duel with Liu Zhao.
Concubine Xue Gui stopped him, "Nonsense!"
Then he angrily reprimanded Liu Zhao, "Your Majesty has already issued an edict to appoint King Zhao as the heir apparent. Liu Zhao, why don't you put down your arms and bow your head to become a minister. You led people to besiege Xingqing Palace, do you really want to rebel?"
"Hahaha… "
Liu Zhao seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.
"The imperial grandfather would appoint a rebellious minister and traitor as the crown prince. This is simply a ridiculous joke in the world. There is no courtier to testify, two without an oral order from His Majesty, and three without an edict. How can there be a crown prince. Absurd!"
Concubine Xue smiled resolutely, "Who said there is no imperial edict? The imperial edict is in the hands of this palace, and it has the seal of His Majesty and the seal of the imperial jade seal on it. Liu Zhao, you have seen the imperial edict, why don't you kneel down quickly. It's your first offense, and I can spare your life. If you don't know what to do, I will blame you for being ruthless."
Everyone looked at the bright yellow imperial edict in Xue Guifei's hand, although they didn't know what it contained, they were all surprised.
Is it really an imperial edict
Liu Zhao sneered, "You people killed the Jinwu guards guarding the Xingqing Palace and made trouble in the Xingqing Palace, who knows what shameful deeds you have done.
I think the imperial edict in the hands of the empress is clearly a false edict. If the emperor's grandfather really issued an imperial edict, how could he not summon the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to testify
Also, the imperial edict must be written by the ministers of the court. May I ask who wrote the imperial edict in the hands of the empress? You might as well call this person out and question him face to face. "
Yes, face to face.
Concubine Xue was furious, "Liu Zhao, don't be ashamed of your face. It is an extraordinary time, and it is an extraordinary means. When His Majesty was dying, he left an imperial edict for succession, which was written by Chen Dachang himself. How can everything be fake. I see that you are looking for an excuse to rebel. Take him down left and right."
"Who dares to move!"
Liu Zhao's roar made everyone stop, it was really frightening.
He took a step forward, "Your Majesty just said that the imperial grandfather left an imperial edict when he was dying?"
"Of course." Concubine Xue Gui sneered, "What else do you have to say now. Why don't you put down your weapon and bow your head to surrender."
"Haha..." Liu Zhao looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "You gang of thieves actually killed His Majesty. Today I want to avenge Your Majesty."
"You spit out blood, it's clearly your wolfish ambition, delusion to rebel and proclaim yourself emperor." Concubine Xue Gui angrily scolded Liu Zhao.
Zhao Wang picked up his spear, "Liu Zhao, your father is decapitated, and you will be arrested before you put your hands up. Otherwise, don't blame me for taking your sacrifice flag."
Liu Zhao laughed mockingly, "A group of shameless thieves not only fabricated the imperial edict, but also dared to kill the king. Today, my son wants to avenge the emperor and kill you thieves here."
"Revenge for the emperor!"
"Revenge for the emperor!"
"Left and right killed Liu Zhao. Whoever can take Liu Zhao's head will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold."
Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man, the soldiers of the Jingxi Camp screamed and rushed towards Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao took the lead, holding the saber in his hand, and shouted, "Good time!"
He was the first to rush into the killing array.
Under his leadership, all the soldiers in the back came to kill Xingqing Palace.
For a moment, inside and outside the Xingqing Palace, the sound of killing shook the sky, and blood flowed like rivers. The broken limbs and arms are shocking.
Liu Zhao's saber is like a land without people, and anyone who stands in his way will die.
His sons are even more fearless of death.
kill kill kill!
Concubine Xue retreated again and again, her complexion was as pale as snow, and her eyes were terrified, "Where did Liu Zhao get so many horses?"
King Zhao was furious, "It must be a dead man secretly cultivated by Prince Ning's mansion behind his back."
"Hurry up, hurry up and arrest Concubine Xiao Shu, Gu Jiu and the child. I don't believe Liu Zhao can't be ruled."
Concubine Xue Gui made a decisive decision and planned to threaten Liu Zhao with blood relationship.
At this moment, she was very fortunate that she did not impulsively end Xiao Shufei's life.
It is really useful to keep Concubine Xiao Shu.
"Stop it, stop it all!"
Duke Zhu Guo led the Jingbei camp to kill them.
Compared with the exhausted Jingxi Camp, the Jingbei Camp is as imposing as a rainbow, like a sword unsheathed at the same time, beheading all demons and ghosts in the world.
Beside Zhu Guogong, there are dozens of civil and military ministers.
It turned out that when King Yan and King Zhao led people to rush to kill the palace, these civil and military ministers had already realized the seriousness of the problem.
They contacted several nobles at the first time, and finally Zhu Guogong personally led the Beijing Beiying Camp to quell the chaos.
Zhu Guogong was old and strong, and roared angrily: "Whoever dares to move again will be treated as a traitor and traitor!"
The two sides separated.
For a moment, around the Xingqing Palace, three legs stand against each other, guarding against each other.
King Zhao only felt bad luck, Zhu Guogong and the others came half an hour late, maybe he would kill Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao also felt unlucky, he was almost in front of King Zhao, and he could decapitate King Zhao with just one blow, unexpectedly the civil and military ministers would come so fast.
Concubine Xue regained her composure and raised the imperial edict in her hand, "Your Majesty has issued an imperial edict to appoint King Zhao as the crown prince. My lords, don't hesitate to come forward and pay homage to the crown prince."
The civil and military ministers looked at each other.
"The Edict of Succession? Absurd! How could His Majesty issue the Edict of Succession without us present?" His Excellency Zhongshu Ling angrily reprimanded.
Concubine Xue sneered, "Are you suspecting that the edict in my palace's hands is fake? You can see clearly that it has His Majesty's seal on it, as well as the Jade Seal of Chuanguo. Moreover, it was written by Chen Dachang himself."
Shang Shu Ling's lord lost his temper, "Call Chen Dachang out. He is an eunuch, how can he have the qualifications to write the imperial edict."
It is a great honor for civil servants to write the imperial edict. It is also the glorious private land of civil servants, how can eunuchs get their hands on it.
Even if it is not Shang Shuling's turn, Shang Shuling must not sit back and watch Chen Dachang, an eunuch, snatch this honor.
This matter must not be tolerated, and must be broken clearly.
King Zhao was furious, "My lords, this king has been established as the heir apparent, and you still don't come forward to meet him? Is it important for Chen Dachang or this king."
Lord Shang Shuling rushed forward, "It is disrespectful for an eunuch to write the imperial edict without the presence of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs. Let alone whether the imperial edict is true or not, first call out the chief culprit, Chen Dachang, and I will personally Ask him, who gave him the courage to let him take the lead and dare to meddle in military affairs."
"Call Chen Dachang out!"
Zhao Wang was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot.
This group of civil servants knew that it was more serious to catch the law.
what do they mean
Do you think he is not qualified to inherit the throne
Still suspect that the imperial edict is fake
Liu Zhao stood aside and smiled contemptuously. This will make him completely relaxed, looking like he is watching a good show.
He wanted to see how Queen Zhao's mother and son would respond to the questions from the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.
A mere Chen Dachang didn't dare to come out to meet people, there must be something shady about it.
"presumptuous!"
Concubine Xue scolded the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, "Are you questioning His Majesty's decision?"
Zhongshu ordered the minister to take a step forward, "Your Majesty misunderstood, the ministers are not questioning your majesty's decision. The imperial edict is of great importance, so it is better to ask the ministers to go in and ask your majesty face to face. If your majesty nods to confirm the authenticity of the imperial edict, my minister It won't be too late to come and pay respects to King Zhao at that time."
"Your Majesty, get out of the way, I'm waiting to go in to see His Majesty."
Civil servants clamored to see His Majesty, but the nobles remained silent.
Liu Zhao was suddenly startled, and roared, "Your Majesty is already dead. Concubine Xue Guifei said this herself. She said that His Majesty left this imperial edict when he was dying. In my opinion, they are clearly the ones who killed the king. , fabricated this imperial edict. They dare not let you see Chen Dachang, probably because Chen Dachang is dead."
"Liu Zhao, you deserve to die!" Zhao Wang angrily reprimanded.
The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was in doubt.
Lord Shang Shuling pointed at Zhao Wang's mother and son, "How dare you kill the king? You gangsters and thieves, you should die!"
"Nonsense! You believe what Liu Zhao says, but you don't want to believe me when I hold the imperial edict. Now I have to wonder whether you have all been bought by Liu Zhao, and sang a double reed, trying to Frame this palace mother and son as a crime."
Concubine Xue is worthy of being an old man in the harem, and her combat effectiveness is extremely sturdy.
Master Zhongshu Ling looked serious, "Is the edict nonsense? It's very simple. Call Chen Dachang out. He will serve His Majesty personally. He knows what is going on with His Majesty better than anyone else."
"Yes, call Chen Dachang out."
The problem comes back to dots.
Liu Zhao lowered his head and smiled.
King Zhao hated Liu Zhao to death.
If Liu Zhao hadn't come out suddenly, they would have had enough time to deal with the aftermath, enough to convince this group of civil and military ministers.
The big deal is to force each other.
When it becomes a fait accompli, who would dare to doubt the authenticity of the imperial edict
Even if they knew that the imperial edict was fake, these civil and military ministers could only admit it with their noses, and they had to help him deal with the aftermath and plug all the loopholes.
"Is the king late?"
Another prince came to the Shura field.
