It's late at night and it's five o'clock.

After learning that Yi Yao and the others were not at home, Chen Mo knew that they had passed through the tunnel and moved to a safe place that had been discussed in advance.

Chen Mo told Gao Zheng's location and asked him to pick up Yi Yao and the others.

The inner city has been destroyed, and the great event has been accomplished.

No need to hide anymore.

Gao Zheng promised with excitement. Once upon a time, he was just a small vice-captain in Dongdu. How could he have imagined that such a day would come to him.

Shortly after Gao Zheng left, Xu Dabang came to report that the general had sent someone.

Someone from the Xiao Teng faction gave Chen Mo a secret letter.

After reading the contents of the letter, Chen Mo crumpled the letter into a ball, burned it with Taiyi Divine Fire, and immediately said loudly: "Send the order, go to the Prince's Mansion to welcome the new king to the throne, but if there is resistance, we will not kill him."

"Big Stick, lead my horse."

...

After expelling the ministers, Xiao Yunqi turned around and changed his face. He asked people to lay out pens, inks, paper and inkstones, forcing Zhao Ji to write an abdication edict and give up the throne to the prince Zhao Chong.

He also asked Zhao Ji to write an edict to punish himself.

Zhao Ji vowed not to obey.

Xiao Yunqi did not force anyone to forge a self-indictment and seal it with the national jade seal. Then the edict against oneself was genuine.

Xiao Yunqi then sealed Zhao Ji's cultivation and moved him from the Hall of Supreme Harmony to the deserted Huayang Hall.

As for regicide, he would never dare.

Wei Xian, however, did not end well. Xiao Yunqi directly abolished his cultivation and threw him into the Huayang Palace, asking him to serve Zhao Ji.

After doing this, he asked about Xiao Yunxi. After seeing that she was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he was also worried about this daughter, what was more important was that if Xiao Yunxi was here, she would be the legitimate queen mother after Zhao Chong succeeded to the throne. By then, Xiao Yunqi would be able to control the government more smoothly.

...

The noise in Bianliang was so loud that the Prince's Mansion had already heard it clearly.

But as the prince, Zhao Chong had no real power.

This can be seen from the fact that he did not move into the East Palace but established a mansion outside the palace.

In addition, Xiao Yunqi hid the mutiny so well that he did not even tell Zhao Chong. When he learned that Xiao Yunqi was leading troops to clear the emperor's side, Zhao Chong was shocked, thinking that Xiao Yunqi himself wanted to seek power and usurp the throne, so he hid in the house and pretended to be

Zuo didn't hear anything. Anyway, he didn't have any soldiers and couldn't protect him.

Zhao Chong was not very concerned about Zhao Ji's safety.

Except that there is no family affection to speak of in the royal family.

Zhao Chong also knew that the prince himself would be deposed sooner or later, so he would inevitably have some hatred for Zhao Ji in his heart.

At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door, and the guard of the Prince's Mansion opened the door tremblingly, only to see Chen Mo with a smile on his face.

"Please go and ask for instructions. In accordance with the will of the Supreme Emperor, I am here to welcome the new emperor to the throne!"

The guard was stunned. At a loss, he stupidly asked who the new emperor was.

Chen Mo could only say that His Majesty gave way to His Highness the Crown Prince.

The guard was stunned.

Chen Mo frowned and ignored him, leading people directly into the Prince's Mansion.

After seeing Zhao Chong, Chen Mo knelt down on one knee, and the soldiers behind him all knelt down and said in unison: "I respectfully invite the new emperor to enter the palace and ascend the throne."

That neat sound seemed to lift the roof of the Prince's Mansion.

Zhao Chong was stunned, and then couldn't help but ask: "Isn't it Xiao Yun who conspired to usurp the throne?"

Hearing this, Chen Mo was stunned. Did Xiao Yunqi not tell him about this?

After a moment of change in his mind, Chen Mo said respectfully: "Your Majesty has misunderstood. There are treacherous ministers who are threatening the Supreme Emperor. The Great Sima went to Qing Jun's side. Then the Supreme Emperor knew that he was sorry for the country and the country, so he abdicated the throne in favor of Your Majesty."

Like pie falling from the sky, Zhao Chong's head was dizzy: "Da Sima...really said that?"

As the legitimate son of Zhao Ji, who was named the crown prince not long after Zhao Ji took office, Zhao Chong was full of ambitions for the dragon throne.

But in recent years, Zhao Ji has become more and more indifferent to him. Whenever he does something wrong, he will be scolded by him. This time and again makes him feel that his prince will be destroyed sooner or later.

Zhao Chong's interest in the throne was also decreasing day by day.

Unexpectedly, Chen Hong suddenly broke into his house and asked him to ascend the throne.

"I dare not deceive Your Majesty." Chen Mo said respectfully.

"Then... I'm going to take a bath." Zhao Chong quickly entered the state.

"promise."

Soon, surrounded by cheers from Chen Mo and others, Zhao Chong took the princess, no, it should be the queen, onto the carriage and headed towards the palace.

...

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Xiao Yunqi and the future Prime Minister, the current Minister of Rites, Hu Meier's father, Hu Sheng, discussed the enthronement of the new emperor.

At this moment, his subordinates came to report.

It was said that Jingru Palace suddenly caught fire. When they rushed over, it was completely burned.

According to Concubine Jing's personal maid Qing Shuang, she was knocked unconscious from behind and when she woke up, she was already lying on Donghua Avenue.

After all, Concubine Jing was one of Zhao Ji's concubines. Jingru's palace was burned down. The original intention was to conduct a thorough investigation to see if Concubine Jing was alive or dead.

But there is so much chaos tonight, and the new emperor will ascend the throne later, so we can only play it down.

As for Concubine Jing, it is recorded that she died in the water.

However, in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, except for Hu Meier and Xiao Yunxi, all the concubines in the harem rushed to Huayang Palace to accompany Zhao Chong and strengthen the security of Huayang Palace.

...

In the harem, outside a bedroom, an armored general came quickly with a group of subordinates.

When he reached the door, the general stretched out his hand to stop the men behind him, and rushed in alone. There were screams inside.

After seeing the person clearly, Concubine Yu let out a long sigh of relief and said: "Brother, why did you break into the harem? If His Majesty knew about it, he would never spare you."

"Farewell, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has become the Supreme Emperor. Sister, don't you know what's going on outside? Da Sima is going to make His Highness the Crown Prince the emperor. If you don't leave, you will be driven to the Huayang Palace, and you may not be able to do it again in this life.

I can’t get out either.”

After Quan Yang finished speaking, he quickly asked his sister's maid to pack their things so that he could take them away later.

Hearing this, Concubine Yu also shivered with fright. After all, she was just a woman and had not yet practiced martial arts. She was an unarmed woman.

So he packed up a few things in a panic, followed Quan Yang, and took advantage of the chaos to leave the harem.

But when she was about to leave the palace, Concubine Yu suddenly said: "Concubine Jing and I have a good relationship, brother, why don't you take Concubine Jing with you too."

Quanquan Yang replied casually: "There was a fire in Jingru Palace, and Concubine Jing was already buried in the flames."

Hearing this, Concubine Yu's face turned pale.

"Sister, leave quickly. After the new emperor enters the palace, he won't be able to leave even if he wants to." Quan Yang said.

...

By the time Zhao Chong entered the palace, it was already dark.

Soon, the sound of Jun music came from the palace, which was simple and grand, and spread slowly in Bianliang.
