A sudden heavy rain washed away the bloodstains inside and outside the palace, but the broken palace walls and piles of corpses were all reminding everyone that the battle in the imperial city last night was very tragic, and that Jiguo has changed. .
"Report to the crown prince! The female thief who pretended to be the empress has been beheaded for public display..."
A chief eunuch stood bent over in the imperial study room. The prince, father and son, and the two princes were all sitting on chairs tiredly. It was already the afternoon of the second day after the war, but the prince seemed to have aged ten years overnight. People with less than ten have a lot of gray hair.
"Have you checked..."
The third prince hurriedly asked: "Has the Dragon Guard been taken over by King Zhao? They should have opened the gate of the palace last night, and how did King Zhao sneak into the palace? Who is the internal response for him?"
"My lord! The Long Guard has already obeyed King Zhao's order, and doesn't obey the imperial decree at all..."
The old eunuch said helplessly: "Many of the Dragon Guards have lived and died with King Zhao. It is easy for King Zhao to buy them off, but last night the palace gate was opened by the Imperial Army, and two important generals were assassinated. Now the Imperial Army has also turned to Zhao. King, even our courtiers have been reorganized!"
"What?"
The third prince was shocked and said angrily: "Zhao Yunxuan even organized eunuchs, he is too blatant, this is trying to completely empty us out!"
"Sigh~ Ben Gong expected this to happen a long time ago, we all let him deceive us..."
The prince was frustrated and said: "We thought he was a bandit in the mountains. Who would have thought that he would have sneaked back to the capital long ago and secretly linked up with the imperial guards and the imperial army, but judging from the fact that he didn't notify the Yuan family, he deliberately let our two families fight each other. Take the opportunity to usurp the throne!"
"Prince! Zhao Wang said that he noticed something wrong with the emperor, and he didn't dare to speak nonsense because he had no evidence. Yuan Shichu's father and son were killed and he couldn't be blamed on him. The Yuan family was grateful to him for coming to the rescue..."
The old eunuch said: "At the end of the day, we don't care about it, but he didn't do anything wrong, half of the Akabane army is still in your hands, and he didn't want the military power of the three-way army. He just emptied you in the palace. The old slave is standing aside now!"
"Having military power but not being able to leave the palace, what is the difference between this and house arrest..."
The fourth prince said angrily: "As long as he finds three copies of the poisonous fans, our whole family will be killed, and the Yuan family will only have the useless third child and the second child who can only play tricks. No one is his opponent. In the future, this country will not all belong to him!"
"Be safe and don't be impatient! Keep the green hills, and don't be afraid that there will be no firewood..."
The crown prince waved his hand and said: "Judging from my father's scheming, he would never have found all three corpse poisons. The older members of the Yuan family are not vegetarians, so they will definitely notice his evil intentions. We just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, anyway. It was like this in the past, let’s draw it slowly!”
"Father! My son thinks that thanks to King Zhao, he is the savior of our family..."
The grandson of the emperor said: "The former emperor was bewitched by the onmyoji long ago, and the ghost king tomb said in front of the child that they would become emperor within two generations, not to mention the crisis last night, King Zhao never left the child. He was forced into this position by our family, otherwise why bother to rebel?"
The prince waved his hand and said, "What do you know, kid, he is setting a big banner!"
"Prince!"
A dragon guard suddenly came to the door, cupped his hands and said: "Yuan's family has sent people here, representatives from the three generations of the old, the middle and the young, and a few female relatives. Go to the hall!"
"Guan'er! Go call your concubine mother and the others, and call the two imperial concubines..."
The prince waved his hand expressionlessly, and all got up and changed into their mourning clothes. The three brothers discussed in secret for a while, and the two princesses and concubines arrived at the same time, as well as the dead emperor.
The two noble concubines, several of them walked into the main hall dressed in mourning and sackcloth.
"Coming!"
Zhao Guanren was sitting on the side of the main hall drinking tea, and the Yuan family sent more than twenty people here, all dressed in linen and filial piety, but an old man said angrily: "Huh~ You still have the face, the ancestor's country was almost ruined by you Got it!"
"It's not what we did..."
The second prince said with a sullen face: "If you want to blame this matter, we are to blame for our neglect of precautions. Both the emperor and the empress were killed by Thai thieves, and Chang Diji was also killed on the spot. Our family is also a victim, okay? Why abandon the war and negotiate?"
"Okay! Stop arguing..."
Zhao Guanren put down the tea bowl and stood up, helped an elder of the Yuan family up, then took the prince's hand, and actually led the two of them to the high platform, and suddenly pushed the elder of Yuan's family on the dragon chair, The prince's expression changed immediately.
"Old Yuan! Tell the truth, is this dragon chair comfortable to sit on..."
Zhao Guanren patted Old Yuan on the shoulder, and the old man swallowed nervously, looking at the eager children and grandchildren under the stage, he said bravely: "The dragon chair is naturally uncomfortable, but the country that the ancestors beat down, even if it burns the ass We have to sit still!"
"You are wrong! Jiangshan does not belong to anyone, only the dragon chair belongs to your family..."
Zhao Guanren pointed to the outside of the hall and said: "But you can't see the world when you sit on the dragon chair. If you look out, it's just a palace wall. The dragon chair is nothing more than that. It won't make people immortal, let alone keep wealth forever. Why bother?" A broken chair, fight to the death?"
As Zhao Guanren spoke, he helped him up, pulled the crown prince to sit on the dragon chair, and said: "The emperor is just the biggest official. Any emperor or dragon son is just a gimmick. To make the country auspicious and benefit the people, let your Zhao family It is true for generations to come!"
"..."
Everyone looked at him with different expressions, and the prince couldn't understand, but Zhao Guanren dragged the two of them down the high platform again, and came to the middle of the two families.
"I discussed it with Hongluan, and after the crown prince ascends the throne, I will announce it to the world..."
Zhao Guanren said with a smile: "All of your two families recognize your ancestors and return to your clan, and your surname is Hui Zhao. From now on, the second house will be a prince or emperor concubine. Give me the name of a general who protects the country. I will marry a child in each of the two houses as an equal wife." , from now on, I will supervise the two of you, so that you will not fight!"
"Very good! My grandson, don't worry..."
Mr. Yuan immediately cupped his hands and laughed, the prince and the others had nothing to say, in fact, this matter had been brought up a long time ago, and it was just a formality to say it in public, and the two families will discuss the details slowly.
"That's right! Do you need to bury the emperor..."
Zhao Guanren looked at the two imperial concubines, their faces changed at the same time, and they hurriedly waved their hands and said, "Our dynasty has long since abandoned the vulgar custom of burial. Concubines with children only need to observe the festival, and those without children need to guard the tomb or become a monk. Stay in the palace to serve the new emperor!"
"Okay! You two have a chat slowly, and if you need anything, just call me..."
Zhao Guanren strode out with his hands behind his back, and brought Qiu Ning to a side hall. When he entered the room, he saw Yong Ning flying towards him, wrapping himself around him like a koala, and said with a smile, "You are so awesome!" , the rebellion was only one step away from success!"
"How can it be so easy to succeed, the millions of people's army is just a display..."
Zhao Guanren carried her into the bedroom, Qiu Ning and Luo Tan all followed in and closed the door, Zhao Guanren touched Yongning's flat belly, and said, "Yongning! Since the grandson of the emperor thinks the child belongs to him, I want you to keep it." Give birth to the child in the palace!"
"Why?"
Yongning wondered: "Do you want our son to be the emperor?"
"Of course! But you
You are a harem fighting bitch, I need you to cooperate and supervise the princess, and together control the palace... "
Zhao Guanren said frankly: "The crown prince has been emptied by me. Luo Tan and Datou will also stay in charge of the Dragon Guards and the Forbidden Army. From now on, you will have the final say in the palace, and Qiu Ning will be in charge of the outside of the palace. The Yuan family, I will arrange another group of people for her!"
Yongning sat in his arms and said in surprise: "What about you, do you want to go back to Shun Kingdom?"
"I have to find three corpse poison powder..."
Zhao Guanren frowned and said: "Based on what I know about Emperor Jiwu, there must be a poisonous fan in Shunguo, besides, the Yuan family's power is too large. After the wedding, I have to hunt for poison while weakening the Yuan family's power, and deal with it." The bastards of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have a lot of things to do!"
"Brother! You are going to completely rebel..."
Yong Ning stuck out his tongue out of fear, Luo Tan and Qiu Ning also covered their mouths in surprise, but Zhao Guanren said with a smile: "I'm not interested in the throne, but besides killing poison, I also have a task to subvert the throne." Ji Guo, so are you willing to help me?"
"You can help me, I can even make our son the emperor, but I have two conditions..."
Yong Ning said seriously: "You have to marry me first, a few witnesses are enough, and I promise not to let the emperor's grandson touch me, and you have to swear that if the rebellion succeeds, you must marry me again." Go back, don't let me go!"
"I don't want myself, and I won't want you..."
Zhao Guanren kissed her with a smile, and Yongning smiled again: "I never thought that I, the princess of Shunguo, would one day become the princess of Jiguo, and when I thought of treason, I would be so excited, but you have to be honest when you go back." Tell my father, let Yongwei stay with me!"
"Okay! Everything is up to you, I will stay in the palace to accompany you tonight..."
Zhao Guanren scratched her little nose, and after explaining a few things, he walked out. Not long after, he came to a small independent courtyard. Unexpectedly, Lu Datou ran out thieves and pulled him into the house. In an alley not far away.
"You don't have to go, I've settled Mrs. Yuan..."
Lu Datou said in a low voice: "The military power of the Yuan family is also divided into three parts. The chief house, the second house and the third house all have military power, but Yuan Shichu's head house accounts for more than half. Now that he is dead, his two sons are young, and the other two houses have military power. It's time to fight for power, Madam Yuan is impatient!"
"How did you talk? Is it reliable..."
Zhao Guanren took out his cigarettes and lit each of them. Lu Datou smiled triumphantly: "How can I be unreliable? She wants to keep General Hu Lie the most now. After I promised to help her keep him, the little girl will put on a show, half-pushing and half-doing it." Let me go!"
"Cough cough cough..."
Zhao Guanren threw down the cigarette and coughed violently, and asked in disbelief: "Are you talking about Yuan Shichu's wife? She is fifty years old, and if you make her belly bigger, won't she be afraid that his son will fight you hard? "
"Not that old! Only forty-five years old..."
Lu Datou blew the smoke and said with a smile: "Don't think that you are the only one who can make appointments for business, and that I can also sacrifice my appearance for my career, and Mrs. Yuan, who has been in drought for a long time, has taken the initiative to say that she will be a posthumous child when she is pregnant. Her eldest daughter-in-law is also taken!"
"Damn it! Just walk around among the widows, you can eat old food..."
Zhao Guanren said angrily: "Since you are sure, I won't waste my time talking. I also have to talk to the widows in the harem. This time, I not only need to discuss business with them, but I also need to find clues from them. Let's see Do they know where the poison powder is?"
(After a downpour, the roof of my balcony leaked again, and I had to find someone to fix the mess. The second chapter will be updated in the afternoon!)
