Zhou Shuren shrank his neck, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible, looking around. All the civil and military officials in the court were wiped out, and most of them fell to the ground. It must be said that the Zhang family had a very rigorous plan. In order to survive, all the civil and military officials in the court had to support Zhang Yang's succession to the throne!
Wang Ju didn't dare to say a word. The hall was too quiet. With her chubby hands, one was holding her father, and the other was holding Zhou Shuren.
Zhou Shuren was exhausted. He couldn't move even if he wanted to. Several people were pulling at his official uniform.
The prince said coldly, "The remnants of the Zhang family."
Gu Ren, no, Zhang Ren smiled, "I share the same blood with the royal family, we are the remnants, what is the emperor?"
The prince said sullenly, "My father removed the Zhang family from the genealogy when he ascended the throne. The royal family has no relationship with the Zhang family."
Zhang Ren was stunned. He really didn't know that the emperor would do this. How much he hated the blood in his body. Zhang Ren looked at the situation in the hall and laughed with pride, "Oh, it doesn't matter. What matters is that we won."
The Zhang family had been planning for many years, but failed to realize their goal in the previous dynasty. Now they have picked up a ready-made dynasty, which is already showing signs of prosperity. Everything is worth it.
The King of Qi stared at Zhang Yang and said, "You want to push Zhang Yang to succeed the throne? Dream on."
Zhang Ren laughed, "No, no, it's not a dream anymore. The King of Qi and the King of Chu have been poisoned, the King of Liang has been seriously injured, the Crown Prince has been trapped, and the only one left to succeed to the throne is the Fifth Prince."
Zhang Ren paused and pointed at the poisoned officials in the court, "And they are all poisoned, and we are the only ones with the antidote."
The wound of King Liang had been treated simply, but it was too deep. Even with the medicine he carried with him, he could not move easily. King Liang's breath was very light, and if it were not for the rise and fall of his chest proving that he was alive, he would have seemed dead.
Because of the pillar blocking the view, no one noticed this side. Zhou Shuren listened to Zhang Ren's words and thought to himself that this time, he would definitely clean it up.
Being able to poison on such a large scale means that all the cards have been used.
In the Yaohou Mansion, Yao Wenqi had already entered the secret passage, and the assassin beside him said, "Someone has caught up with the two young masters."
Yao Wenqi hummed. There was a bastard standing next to him. To the two younger ones, they were baits for him to escape from the beginning.
Ever since Yao Wenqi knew that he had been defeated, everything was under the control of the emperor. He knew in his heart that the emperor must know a lot about the Zhang family. Today he was more inclined to believe that the emperor would win.
At this time, the assassins who went to investigate came back and said, "The front has been cleared, and all the troops are in the palace."
Yao Wenqi curled his lips. Today was such a mess. He had contributed a lot. All the people in the palace were handed over to the Zhang family. "Let's go."
After he finished speaking, he walked forward in the secret passage. The secret passage was like a maze and it was easy to get lost.
In the palace hall, the prince said quietly: "You are very confident."
Zhang Ren frowned. The prince's reaction was wrong. He shouldn't panic at this time. Why was he still so calm? He raised his hand and said, "Kill the prince and I will give you official titles and noble ranks."
The prince smiled, and it was a beautiful smile. "I said, you are too confident."
His confidence made him not want to make it difficult for himself to cooperate.
Zhang Ren narrowed his eyes and looked around vigilantly. The entire palace was already under his control. Looking at the unconscious King Liang, all of King Liang's troops were also seized.
At this time, Zhang Yang said, "Brother Crown Prince is right, you are too confident."
As he spoke, applause broke out and Gu Wu walked in, holding the heads of Gu Er and others in his hands.
Prince, “… .”
King Qi, "..."
King of Chu, "..."
This is out of script!
The prince felt tired and sat down on the steps. Then he looked at Zhang Ren with his pupils constricted and Zhang Yang laughing crazily.
Zhang Ren understood everything. What about joining forces with King Liang, using King Liang as a knife, and using King Liang to cover up his tracks? These were all lies. The real use of King Liang was to cover up Zhang Yang's tracks. He was a pawn who killed his master.
Zhang Yang played with the bloody dagger. "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Obviously, I am the oriole behind. You should think carefully about what you want to say. Now I am the master of the Fifth Prince's Mansion, and everyone has become my prisoner. Haha, is that surprising?"
Zhou Shuren, "..."
Unexpected, very unexpected, amazing, this drama has so many twists and turns and constant surprises.
The prince's eyes were filled with indescribable emotion. He thought it would end with a big drama, but he never expected that Zhang Yang had captured the Zhang family!
The mass graves on the back hill outside the city are eerie all year round, especially the back hill, which is the inspiration for all kinds of horror stories. There are many legends about the mass graves in the capital.
A stone on the back hill of the mass grave slowly moved away, making a strange sound. Even in the daytime, it still made people nervous.
Yao Wenqi curled the corners of his mouth. No one would have thought that the exit of the secret passage was here, but his smile froze when he stepped out of the secret passage.
The ones in sight were archers, and the first assassins who came out had been poisoned and fell to the ground.
Yao Zheyu held a long sword in his hand and wore armor. "All the tricks and plans are in vain."
Yao Wenqi's eyes were red. He had lost. He had indeed lost. He had no way out. "I shouldn't have kept you here in the first place."
Yao Zheyu picked up the sword and said, "There is no regret medicine."
Yao Wenqi heard people around him falling to the ground one after another. Even the bastard he had taken away was shot to death. In a few breaths, he was the only one left alive.
At this time the archers stopped and everyone looked at Yao Zheyu.
Yao Zheyu has already stepped forward with a sword in hand.
Yao Wenqi's pupils shrank. He was the one who feared death the most. He staggered back, "You want to kill your father."
Yao Zheyu's eyes were indifferent. This was the chance the emperor gave him to live, and it was also the only chance to tear the Yao family apart. Today was his chance to break away from the past. "Your crimes are unforgivable. Treason and changing the prince are all serious crimes punishable by the death of the entire clan. The emperor is merciful and will allow you to die quickly."
Yao Zheyu, "No, no, you can't kill me. I know, I know the secrets of the Zhang family, and I still have secrets to tell you."
Unfortunately, the answer came from the long sword in Yao Zheyu's hand.
Yao Zheyu watched the light in Yao Wenqi's eyes slowly disappear, "The emperor knows all about your retreat, let alone the Zhang family."
Yao Wenqi stretched out his hand and grabbed Yao Zheyu's armor, "What will happen to the Yao family?"
There was pain in Yao Zheyu's eyes. The Yao family was a large aristocratic family. There were good and bad people among them. Not all of them were bad, but they were treated with the same crime. The emperor hated the Yao family to the core.
Yao Zheyu lowered his voice and said, "You should never, ever hand over this person to the Zhang family."
He clearly remembered that the emperor had said that he would convict each individual member of the Yao family according to the crimes that were investigated, rather than convicting the entire family.
All he could think of was that the Queen was poisoned. When he saw the Emperor, the look in his eyes was murderous.
The light in Yao Wenqi's eyes completely disappeared, he let go of his hand and fell to the ground.
Yao Zheyu stood up straight and said, "Deal with it."
The one who came with Yao Zheyu today was the emperor's confidant. He looked at Yao Zheyu indifferently, and finally loosened his grip on the sword. The emperor left him an oral order today that if Yao Zheyu had any hesitation, kill him!
In the imperial palace, Zhang Wuxi, the patriarch of the Zhang family, has been brought into the main hall.
There was blood at the corner of Zhang Ren's mouth because he was unwilling and his unwillingness was shown on Zhang Yang.
Just now, no one could tell him to do anything. "How did you do it?"
