Chapter 1391 The palace doors open one after another
Yangxin Hall, there are many guards
Su Ziji looked around and saw that Princess Qi was not there, so he asked, "Where is Princess Qi?"
"Your Majesty, there!" The guard had changed his words and pointed in the direction. Su Ziji looked in that direction and saw a woman in plain clothes with disheveled hair, followed by a few people, walking unsteadily.
At this time, the corpses were almost cleaned up, but there were still blood stains everywhere on the ground. People were scrubbing them one after another, and Su Ziji went up: "Princess Qi, they said that you are here, and the place has not been cleaned up yet. Don't be frightened. In the future, Prince Qi will have to
Looking forward to seeing you!"
These words were so heart-warming that Princess Qi stood in a daze for a while. She woke up after a while, made a Wanfu ceremony, and whispered: "I've seen you before, Your Majesty."
"Yeah." Su Ziji accepted it silently and looked at Princess Qi up and down.
Of course the two have met before. Princess Qi is the wife of King Qi, and as a nephew, it is natural that she has met her. However, it is just a courtesy from a distance, and you cannot look at her rudely. When they met across from each other, I felt that Princess Qi's appearance was not too great.
Excellent, his face was extremely pale at this time.
Su Ziji couldn't help but sigh, and slowly said: "The matter between Gu and King Qi is a family matter. King Qi's rebellion should have harmed the family."
"But Taizu and Emperor Daxing don't have many descendants. How can I bear to kill them more?"
"Don't worry, when the court meeting is over, I will send the King of Qi back to his mansion. In name, I will strip him of his title and make him a commoner, but I will still treat him with the courtesy of a prince. I will not be short of food and clothing. I will still manage the mansion by myself. But
You have to stay behind closed doors."
"But after being locked up for a long time, I really couldn't stand it anymore, so I handed it to me in the name of King Qi praying for blessings. I naturally granted him a few days of grace."
These words were warm and considerate. At this moment, it was even more impossible for Su Ziji to lie. In an instant, Princess Qi raised her head, trembled, lowered her head again, and murmured: "...So that's it, it's me.
Too worried..."
"When the prince has a son, and times have passed, I will have the favor to lift him from prison and make him a Marquis of Cheng'en, so as to extend the incense of the King of Qi."
Su Ziji followed his thought and said: "You have to persevere, one day you will succeed - why are you looking so pale? Is it because of the cold wind?"
Princess Qi said nothing, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her lips. Su Ziji suddenly stopped and said sternly: "When you came here, you had already taken poison?"
Princess Qi suddenly knelt down with her knees weak and said in a trembling voice: "Yes... I didn't expect His Majesty to be so magnanimous, so he was already drinking when he came."
There was pain in her abdomen, and her voice was a little broken, but she still remained calm.
"Now, knowing His Majesty's kindness, I can feel at ease."
"Besides, no matter how bad the King of Qi is, he is the husband of a concubine. How can he not have anyone to accompany him when he is so lonely?"
"Since the prince has no worries, I just hope that your majesty will allow me to see the king of Qi."
"That's it!" Su Ziji and Ye Buhui looked at each other. Ye Buhui looked pale, and Su Ziji forced a smile: "It's rare to have such a heart like yours!"
He sighed heavily: "Then go ahead!"
Princess Qi kowtowed heavily and was already poisoned. She stood up and stumbled inside. When she arrived at the Yangxin Hall, she saw a figure lying on the straw mat wearing familiar clothes.
King Qi was lying alone on the banquet, with someone watching him. His haggard face suddenly lost all color.
"Your Majesty!" She rushed over in a few steps, knelt on the ground, took King Qi's hand, slowly leaned on him, and leaned against him lovingly.
"stop looking!"
Ye Buhui was watching from a distance when Su Ziji held her hand. He saw Princess Qi lying with Prince Qi in plain clothes, enduring the colic pain. The severe pain made her curl up into a ball, but she could not bear it until she died.
Not a single groan.
"She...sigh...is also a cruel person." Ye Buhui snuggled into Su Ziji's arms and softly expressed his feelings: "Just leave the prince alone."
"However, I also thought about it yesterday. If you lose...I won't live alone."
"That day will never happen." Su Ziji said.
The King of Qi is dead, the Emperor is also dead, the Queen is also giving her full support, the palace is in control, envoys have been dispatched, what choice will the troops and ministers outside the palace make?
palace gate
The sun rises from the east, thick morning fog floats in the sky, and there is a roar of people, and the situation of each army gradually becomes clear.
Sang Chengqi, the commander of Yingyang Guard, watched carefully from his horse and saw that although there were still sporadic fighting, most of the rebels had knelt down and begged to surrender.
In addition, the Imperial Guards were stationed at the palace gates, and soldiers stood up every half a stone's throw, each holding a weapon. A flag stood high, and the three characters "Shenwuwei" were fluttering in the wind.
Sang Chengqi was secretly surprised when a man from a hundred families came running over and whispered: "Commander, the flag on the palace gate is that of the Yulin Guards!"
Xuanjia Guard, Yingyang Guard, and Qi Gate Guard all realized that something was wrong with the palace, but between the three guards and the fourth guard, no one had the courage to make any move.
I saw from a distance that there were guards in the palace who had hung ropes down from the palace wall. After arriving, they bent down on one knee in front of Sang Chengqi's horse and saluted: "The imperial envoy is coming, please be prepared to receive the order!"
"I got it." Sang Chengqi felt a little trembling. He nodded and got off the horse. In less than half a pack of cigarettes, the palace door opened with an uproar. Dozens of guards separated, and an eunuch came out. He looked familiar but looked tall.
Ze.
"There is a will!" Gao Ze stood still and shouted.
The classy military officers around him knelt down on one knee and saluted with a bang. Sang Chengqi lifted his shirt, knelt down and kowtowed: "General Sang Chengqi respectfully listens to the edict!"
"According to the Queen Mother's decree, under the command of the eagle Yangwei, Sang Chengqi quickly entered the palace to meet the king. Please do this!"
Although he had expected it, Sang Chengqi's heart sank. He knew that his guess was correct. Something big had happened to the emperor. His head was buzzing.
But I had thought about it carefully just now and knew that unless I rebelled immediately, I couldn't hesitate at this time. I didn't say anything at that moment and knelt down: "General, I will obey the order!"
Gao Ze didn't say anything and just turned around. Sang Chengqi pondered for a moment, called a thousand households, ordered the cleaning work, and entered the palace.
The palace was very familiar, but the situation was completely different. Two rows of guards stood upright, looking solemn.
There were busy eunuchs and maids everywhere, cleaning up the blood stains, but there were still many corpses lying everywhere.
"King Qi finally entered the palace!"
The palace gate chariot road, which is close to the Yangxin Hall, is even more heavily guarded. At this moment, two people came through another doorway.
Qian Lu, the commander of the Xuanjia Guards, and Zhao Benxiang, the acting commander of the Qimen Guards, both came. The three of them looked at each other and sighed secretly.
All three of them came in, which meant that no matter what the situation, Xuanjia Guard, Yingyang Guard, and Qi Gate Guard all chose to obey.
When he saw a high-ranking eunuch with a dozen chamberlains to greet him, Sang Chengqi endured it and finally asked: "Where is the emperor now?"
"In the Yangxin Hall." The eunuch simply replied and walked quickly to lead the way, but said nothing. Sang Chengqi opened his mouth, looked at each other, and swallowed his words.
When they arrived at the palace gate, they saw the queen and the grandson. The three of them knelt down quickly and said, "The empress, your highness the grandson, and the ministers are waiting to enter the palace. I wonder what important matters you have?"
"The King of Qi conspired to cause rebellion and broke into the palace. His blood spattered the Yangxin Palace. The emperor did not want to be humiliated and committed suicide by drinking poison."
"Fortunately, the guards were able to defeat the King of Qi, but the King of Qi saw that the situation was not good and killed himself with a horizontal sword!"
The queen's face was pale, but she spoke clearly every word, which meant that the queen had reached a conclusion. After hearing this, the three generals felt their legs were weak and their bodies were shaking. They followed into the palace and saw two corpses.
The hall was full of bloodstains and looked dark and gloomy. There were only two rows on the left and right, all of them were bodyguards and generals. Their status was no lower than their own. They stood solemnly, motionless, and looked on in awe.
There is also a eunuch holding a sword in both hands, with an embroidered dragon and yellow bag draped on it - this is the "Emperor's Sword".
And lying on the ground was King Qi and a woman. The three generals only took one look and knew that King Qi had indeed committed suicide. On the imperial couch, the emperor was lying with his eyebrows calm and his eyes closed.
The three generals did not dare to look further, so they heard the eunuch say loudly: "The emperor has decreed that the great grandson will take over the throne and continue the rule. Why don't you wait and be polite?"
Although there were many doubts, the veins on Sang Chengqi's forehead twitched unnoticeably, and he bowed to his grandson: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Return to work and open the palace gate!"
Seeing the three generals kowtow in obedience to the imperial edict, the Queen lowered her hands and all the ministers and generals remained silent. They lowered their heads one by one and knelt on both sides.
The eunuch went out to deliver the order.
"Open the palace gate!"
"Open the palace gate!"
With one summons after another, the palace doors opened one after another.
