Everyone outside the hall immediately knelt down and solemnly shouted long live
. All the officials in the hall looked at each other in confusion. Song Wuyong took the lead and knelt down, followed immediately by many people. Liang Shichu and others turned to look at Dongfangze, unable to restrain their anxiety. Su Xiangru and his son frowned, one looked at Dongfangze, and the other looked at the door. Outside, everyone was worried and didn't say a word; Zhan Wuji, who had never spoken a word since entering the palace, stood coldly and arrogantly among everyone, with an expressionless face.
Dongfang Zhuo, dressed in a dragon robe and an imperial crown on his head, with steady steps and windy clothes, has already entered the palace gate.
The tall, bright yellow figure exuded a cold and formidable aura. Along the way, the ministers who were still hesitant couldn't help but kneel down as they walked. Only a few people were still standing.
Dongfang Zhuo's cold eyes swept across Dongfang Ze's face. He stepped onto Danbi, turned around suddenly, and with a flick of his robe sleeves, the hasty and simple enthronement ceremony was about to begin.
Gao Zhi shouted, "All the officials bow down to the new emperor!"
Liang Shichu frowned and was about to speak, but Dongfangze raised his hand to stop him. He stepped forward slowly, making a swishing sound, and several guards immediately stopped him with their swords drawn, their faces full of alertness. Liang Shichu immediately stared and shouted: "What is King Jing'an going to do? Before he officially ascends the throne, he must cut off his power and kill his brothers?!"
Dongfang Zhuo snorted disdainfully, "The enthronement ceremony is coming soon. Anyone who violates the imperial edict and disrupts the ceremony will be killed without mercy!"
His cold eyes slowly swept over everyone's faces, and many people's expressions changed.
Dongfangze looked calm, raised his head and said with a smile: "What a great power! I'm just afraid that Brother Erhuang, your majesty is not right!"
A sharp light suddenly appeared in Dongfang Zhuo's eyes, he raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Who dares to say that the imperial edict written by my father is incorrect? Dongfang Ze, do you want to rebel?"
Dongfangze stroked his sleeves, half-smiling but not smiling: "If it is really written by the emperor himself, it is of course justified. But... the edict is not true!"
There was a sudden uproar, Dongfang Zhuo patted the dragon chair, pointed at him and shouted: "How dare you! How dare you question my father's will?!"
"Humph." Dongfangze sneered, and turned to look at Gao Zhi. His gaze seemed impermanent, but it made people feel unreasonably terrified from the bottom of their hearts. "Eunuch Gao has served my father for many years and is the most trusted person around him. I must have witnessed this edict with my own eyes?"
Gao Zhi glanced at him quickly, quickly closed his eyes, and carefully replied: "Yes.
. "
Dongfangze said again: "Then I would like to ask Eunuch Gao, is this imperial edict written by the emperor himself?"
"Do you still need to ask? All the ministers in the palace should recognize your father's handwriting!" Dongfang Zhuo flicked his robe sleeves and spoke in a bad tone.
Dongfangze turned a deaf ear to this, but still stared at Gao Zhi with his sharp eyes, and then asked: "Then when and when was this edict written? Was there anyone else who witnessed it when it was established?"
He hit the point every time he spoke, and he didn't want to let go of it at all. A kind of overwhelming pressure followed, as if a mountain was pressing down on him, making people involuntarily panic. Gao Zhi's head couldn't help but hang a little more, and cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead. He replied in a low voice: "To answer your question, Your Majesty, this edict... was written by His Majesty last night, and there are no... other witnesses."
"Last night?" Dongfang Ze suddenly laughed, "Last night, my king left the palace at Haishi. At that time, my father was in low spirits and tired. How could he write such neat and powerful handwriting? According to the regulations of this dynasty, if you want to write an imperial edict to pass the throne, you must This can only be established if there is an official of first rank or above or a prince present to witness it! This edict is clearly a fake edict made by someone who imitated the handwriting of his father! Gao Zhi, do you know the crime?!" At the end of his sentence, his voice was as cold as ice.
A drop of cold sweat fell on the jade steps with a "pop" sound and shattered into pieces.
Su Xiangru immediately agreed: "That's right. A few days ago, His Majesty said that he would appoint King Zhenning as the crown prince after the festival, so how could he suddenly write an edict to pass the throne without a minister present? There must be something wrong with this edict!"
Everyone started talking to each other, Song Wuyong's face was a little uncertain.
Gao Zhi was startled, looked up at him, and said in fear: "Old slave... I don't know, everything is your Majesty's intention!"
Dongfang Ze sneered, turned around and shouted, "Really? Lin Tianzheng."
"The official is here." Among the crowd, a young official with delicate features and piercing eyes spoke out. It was the Qin Tianjian who wrote down the mysterious fate for Su Li at the concubine selection banquet. Bao Zhang Zheng Lin Tianzheng, now he is the supervisor of Qin Tianzheng.
Dongfangze raised his hand slightly, and Lin Tianzheng strode forward, took out a piece of letter from his sleeve, and handed it respectfully to Dongfangze's hand. Dongfangze didn't even look at it. He shook his hand and handed it directly to Gao Zhi.
Gao Zhi took a quick look, and his face suddenly turned pale, his eyes widened, his legs became weak, and he almost knelt down. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to grab it. Dongfangze changed his hand and threw the letter to Liang Shichu, saying calmly: "Lin Tianzheng, tell me where you got this letter from."
. "
"Yes." Lin Tianzheng said respectfully, "A few nights ago, I was on a star outside the city. I happened to meet the messenger of Eunuch Gao. This man was arrogant and arrogant, running rampant and harassing the people. I captured the man. , intending to teach him a lesson, but unexpectedly, the man instead scolded the official for delaying his delivery of the letter, and instead injured the official's entourage. The official thought it was an important official document, but unexpectedly he found a family letter. The letter contained Eunuch Gao's name. The private seal was very similar to His Majesty's handwriting, so I didn't dare to neglect it, for fear that someone might have some evil plans, so I reported it to King Zhenning overnight."
People passed letters to each other and were in an uproar after reading them. Sure enough, it is very similar to the emperor's handwriting! Imagine a eunuch deliberately imitating the emperor's handwriting, the intention is self-evident.
"Gao Zhi, you are so brave!" Liang Shichu pointed at him and shouted.
Gao Zhi was sweating like rain, with a frightened look on his face, and looked towards Dongfang Zhuo as if asking for help. At this time, Dongfang Zhuo's face was as cold as water, and he said in a deep voice: "It's just a letter from home. Eunuch Gao has been serving his father all year round and has seen many of his father's stories." What's so strange about writing similar characters naturally? It doesn't prove anything! If Brother Sixth Emperor wants to use this to cause trouble, don't blame me for being rude! Come on!"
Cao Jinliang entered in response, and the imperial guards behind him poured into the hall like a tide, surrounding everyone in the hall.
The situation is like a poisonous snake spitting out a message, and murderous intent spreads instantly.
All the officials were horrified. At this moment, two figures flashed at the door. Sheng Qin Sheng Xiao's four palms were like the wind, splitting apart the guards guarding the door like thunder, and strode into the palace with one person.
"Your Majesty!" The two bowed and saluted. Dongfangze nodded lightly, and everyone looked at the person they were supporting.
The man's body was covered with wounds, his face was covered with bloodstains, and he was almost dying. Only his eyes were like lightning, staring at the man in the bright yellow dragon robe of Dan Majesty.
Su Xiangru screamed: "Commander Xiao?! You... why do you look like this?!" Everyone was extremely surprised. The man in front of them had a weak aura. How could he still have the majesty of the former commander of the Imperial Guard
The expressions of Cao Jinliang and Dongfang Zhuo both changed, and a cold light flashed across their eyes. Cao Jinliang's hand holding the sword hilt suddenly tightened, he stepped forward in two steps, and shouted loudly: "Xiao Fang has taken sick leave, and the imperial guards are now here." The last general is in command! The guards inside and outside the palace are obeying orders. No one is allowed to come in or out at will without the general's orders!"
Everyone was shocked, and many people noticed that the atmosphere was extremely tense and hurriedly retreated.
As soon as Xiao Fang heard this voice, his eyes instantly became extremely angry. He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Cao, Jin, Liang."
! You despicable person! "
His emotions were suddenly aroused, and his injuries became more serious. Xiao Fang's face turned pale as a sheet of pain and he almost couldn't breathe. Sheng Xiao was startled and quickly sent him internal energy to help him calm down a little.
Liang Shichu said quickly: "Commander Xiao, don't be anxious. If you have anything to do, talk about it slowly. King Zhenning will definitely make the decision for you."
Xiao Zhan took a breath and then said: "I'm not sick at all. It was Cao Jinliang who held my wife and children hostage and threatened me to cooperate with them to force the palace to rebel. If I didn't agree... he wanted to kill me! If not for the people of King Zhenning to save me , I'm afraid that my family of three will be dead..."
"What? Cao Jinliang... forced the palace to rebel?! This..." Everyone was surprised, as if they couldn't believe it.
"Cao Jinliang forced the palace to rebel. It was clearly King Jing'an who forged the imperial edict, put His Majesty under house arrest, and forced the palace to usurp the throne!" Liang Shichu pointed at Dongfang Zhuo angrily, with an angry look on his face.
"Nonsense!" Dongfang Zhuo's face was gloomy and he yelled angrily: "Liang Shichu, I respect you as a first-class captain and have shown my understanding to you, but you don't know what's good and you repeatedly make rude remarks and offend me! Cao Jinliang, take him down!"
"Yes!" There was a flash of cold light, and Cao Jinliang quickly drew his sword. The Imperial Guards around him swarmed forward, and saw that the sword was about to be placed on Liang Shichu's neck. Sheng Qin's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and the sword was already unsheathed. Several Imperial Guards only felt a flash of white light in front of their eyes. The swords in his hands fell to the ground.
Liang Shichu was a military general, so his kung fu was not weak. When he saw Cao Jinliang drawing his sword to attack, he was about to seize the sword to attack. However, the regent Li Feng took the lead and blocked Cao Jinliang's deadly sword with his finger.
"Stop!" A deep and stern voice shouted, extremely majestic, and Li Fengxian had already stood up. A faint smile appeared on Dongfangze's lips.
Li Fengxian raised his head, looked at Dongfang Zhuo, frowned and advised: "King Jing'an should stop quickly, maybe it's still too late."
Dongfang Zhuo's expression suddenly changed and he couldn't believe it, "Prince Regent! You...! Are you going to betray me too? Have you forgotten who was the real culprit who killed Li Su?!"
Li Fengxian's eyes hurt, and he said in a deep voice: "I really want to find out the real culprit and avenge Li Su! But I can't watch you force the palace to rebel and hold the emperor hostage! If the edict is true, why did King Jing'an wait for His Majesty After you wake up, can you justifiably ascend the throne and become emperor?!"
Dongfang Zhuo clenched his hands and looked livid: "Okay! Even you are not willing to help me... In this case, why should I worry about it anymore? Someone..." The matter has come to this, and he no longer needs to be secretive.
!
"Your Majesty!" Suddenly there was an urgent cry, and a guard from Jing'an Palace hurried into the palace and shouted: "The outer city defenders suddenly attacked!"
"What?!" Dongfang Zhuo's eyes suddenly changed, and he glanced at Zhan Wuji. He still looked cold and arrogant, and his face was calm. Everyone suddenly discovered that this iron-faced general with a heavy army in hand had not said a word from the beginning to the end, and looked on with cold eyes, as if the matter had nothing to do with him!
Dongfang Zhuodeng was furious. He quickly walked down Danbi and came to Zhan Wuji. He shouted in a low voice: "Zhan Wuji! Where are your people? Why don't you restrain the defenders in the outer city? How dare you disobey my order?" !”
His face was full of anger, but Zhan Wuji acted as if nothing had happened, frowning and wondering: "What is King Jing'an talking about? Zhan can't understand."
"You!" Dongfang Zhuo was extremely angry, and his heart sank to the bottom. A swan goose flew suddenly outside the door, its chirping was sharp and harsh, and an ominous shadow hit his heart. He stared at Zhan Wuji coldly and warned in a low voice: "Want to pretend to be confused with me? Don't forget, you still have something in my hands!"
Zhan Wuji raised his head coldly and smiled, "Excuses? Zhan has always been upright and aboveboard in his actions. What excuses could fall into the hands of the prince?"
Dongfang Zhuo's face turned cold and he said sternly: "Really? Do you want me to summon witnesses to expose your true identity? Then let's see what qualifications you still have to command the three armies?!"
Zhan Wuji said nothing. At this moment, a man hurriedly entered the palace, walked quickly to Dongfang Zhuo, and whispered in his ear: "Your Highness, the Diewu girl from Tianxiang Tower is dead."
Dongfang Zhuo's eyes turned cold, and he turned around and yelled angrily: "What did you do?!"
The man hurriedly lowered his head, his face full of guilt and did not dare to say a word.
No wonder Zhan Wuji is confident. It turns out that this crucial witness has been eliminated by him!
"Okay, very good, very good! Are you determined to disobey the edict today?" Dongfang Zhuo stroked his palm and smiled coldly. He turned around slowly, his cold eyes scanning everyone's faces one by one, and his stern look made everyone's hearts sink.
It's like a person who has reached a dead end has nothing to fear in the end.
Fortunately, he still had one last bargaining chip.
"Liang Taiwei, who is the most important person to you?" Dongfang Zhuo suddenly turned around and asked
.
Liang Shichu was startled for a moment and looked at him warily.
Dongfang Zhuo shook his head and sighed: "Miss Liang is so innocent and cute, what a pity."
Liang Shichu's expression suddenly changed, he grabbed his arm and asked, "What do you mean?"
Seeing the unconcealed nervousness on his face, Dongfang Zhuo smiled even more wildly, stretched out his hand to slowly remove the hand that was holding his clothes, and said casually: "It's nothing, I just feel that it is very cold outside, and I can't bear it. So I invited your family members to go to the side hall to rest. They must be drinking tea and chatting at this moment, and they should be very happy. But... "
He suddenly stopped talking, his eyes as cold as swords, and under everyone's frightened gaze, he added: "Whether they can still laugh in the next moment depends on you."
Everyone was shocked, Liang Shichu was stunned, his face was extremely ugly. He only had one daughter in his life, Liang Ruyue, whom he regarded as the apple of his eye. Now that his beloved daughter was being controlled, how could he not be angry and nervous.
Dongfang Zhuo walked slowly in front of Dongfang Ze. It's rare that he is still so calm and composed now. Dongfang Zhuo couldn't help but sneered: "Dongfang Ze, since I was a child, I have lost to you every time. This time, I will definitely do it. win."
"Really?" Dongfang Ze smiled softly, his eyes as cold as ice. Under Dongfang Zhuo's increasingly doubtful gaze, he slowly shook his head, lightly opened his thin lips, and said two words firmly: "Not necessarily."
He raised his hand slightly and gave the command silently. Yuan Xiang, the right deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, who had not been seen today, suddenly appeared at the door of the hall. Behind him, a neat group of imperial guards came towards this side from the side hall, protecting a group of female relatives.
Yang Xuan, Li Yao, and Liang Ruyue, the princesses of Bian Kingdom, walked in the front first. They had good faces, followed by the family members of the officials, who were either frightened or frightened, with different expressions.
The faces of all the officials changed drastically, and they were unable to determine for a moment which side these imperial guards belonged to!
"Dad!" With a sweet call, the petite light purple figure flew towards Liang Shichu in the hall.
Liang Shichu was immediately overjoyed, and quickly stepped forward to hug his beloved daughter, shouting in surprise: "Yue'er! Are you okay?"
Liang Ruyue shook her head and said: "I'm fine. That Cao Jinliang is so insidious. He locked us up and didn't allow us to come out."
. Fortunately, Cousin Ze had the foresight to ask Deputy Commander Yuan to arrange for people to be in the side hall in advance, waiting for an opportunity to rescue us. Princess Zhaohua’s martial arts is so good, Dad, I want to learn from her. "Her eyes were bright, and she looked straight towards Dongfangze and Yangxuan, with a look of divine worship and admiration that was beyond words.
Yang Xuan smiled and said: "Miss Liang is also a woman who rushes ahead, shouting that she wants to protect everyone."
Liang Shichu immediately bowed and said, "Princess, you are so grateful. Thank you so much, Princess Zhaohua."
The female relatives walked up to their family members and told them how thrilling the scene was. Everyone had different expressions for a moment. Li Yao walked up to Li Fengxian and called out respectfully: "Father."
Li Fengxian looked at her and nodded lightly without saying much. Li Yao's eyes instantly dimmed. Even if her sister Li Su was no longer alive, she would never think that her father could treat her as kindly as Liang Shichu treated Liang Ruyue. She felt a sense of sadness in her heart. She raised her eyes and looked at His Majesty Dan, who was wearing a dragon. The man in the robe looked shocked and looked at him with infinite compassion that was hard to describe.
Dongfang Zhuo's face was livid at this moment. He glanced at Yuan Xiang, who was standing upright with his sword, and then looked at Dongfang Ze, gritting his teeth and saying bitterly: "So he is yours?!"
Dongfang Ze smiled coldly and said nothing.
However, Cao Jinliang's expression suddenly changed, he strode towards the door, grabbed one of them and shouted sharply: "How dare you betray me! I will kill you!" After that, he raised his sharp sword and slashed at the man's head very quickly. .
The sword light was as fast as lightning, and Yuan Xiang, who was a few steps away, had no time to stop it.
Seeing that blood was about to splatter in the hall, everyone screamed and backed away. At this time, a black figure suddenly appeared next to Cao Jinliang like a ghost. Before the sword could cut off the man's head, he felt his arm go numb, and with a "clang", the sword in his hand could no longer be held and fell to the ground.
He was suddenly shocked and looked at the person in front of him in horror. He was dressed in black and had a jade face and delicate features. He turned out to be the personal maid of Princess Mingxi!
Everyone was stunned, and the hall was so quiet that even breathing could be heard clearly. At this time, a high-pitched singing and shouting sounded, and the entire hall immediately shook.
"Your Majesty is here!"
The emperor who was supposed to be unconscious was actually being supported by Su Li and slowly walked out of the palace.
