The King of England was beheaded at the entrance of the palace, and Concubine Zhao, who was crying and cursing, was knocked unconscious to the ground. When Xu Chaozong entered the palace, the entire Penglai Palace was silent. The fighting outside has stopped, and the generals who loyally defended the King of England have been killed. The remaining soldiers saw the fierce attack of more than 30 people on the other side, and knowing that they were outmatched, they either defected or retreated, and they faced off silently without any movement. .
Inside and outside the hall, only Xu Chaozong's voice echoed.
Queen Sun shed tears and said nothing, several important ministers looked at each other, and the rest of the palace officials and eunuchs did not dare to express their anger.
Since the death of the eldest son who was the legitimate daughter of the queen, Empress Sun has become much depressed. Her thoughts are all focused on Emperor Xiping, and she is indifferent to the matter of the two kings seizing the legitimate son, and has not intervened at all. After Emperor Xiping became seriously ill, he even set up a small Buddhist hall in Fengyang Palace. She had no children under her knees, and her mother's family had no power. In addition to living her life as a queen mother, she could not bear to wade into the muddy waters of government affairs.
Now, looking at Xu Chaozong openly killing his brother and confusing right and wrong, even if he feels dissatisfied, what can he do?
King Ying died, and the only son left under Emperor Xiping was Xu Chaozong. The throne belonged to him no matter what.
She looked coldly at Xu Chaozong, who was kneeling in front of Emperor Xiping's bed with a sad face, obviously waiting for her to speak.
Some of the important ministers nearby seemed to want to speak. When they saw Fu Yu standing behind the pillar like a door god, he met his eyes as cold and sharp as a sword. His scalp felt numb and his spine felt chilly. When he looked at Ying who was prostrate on the ground, The king immediately fell silent and retreated to his original position.
¡ª¡ªThe royal family is weak, the Jieduzhi are divided, and the civil servants in the court don't seem to have much backbone.
Queen Sun lamented in her heart, and after a while, she whispered: "Your father has been talking about you just now."
Xu Chaozong finally waited until she spoke, slowly raised his head, looked at Empress Sun's expression for a moment, and then said: "My son is late."
"Send him off." Empress Sun knelt beside her and glanced at the eunuch beside Emperor Xiping.
The eunuch was ordered to die, and with a long and mournful voice, he announced the death of Emperor Daxing.
The decree of passing on the throne was quietly taken away by Prince Rui's Mansion Chief Shi, who rushed in later. This quick and secret fight was also hidden in the sound of wind and snow in the sky, and the news almost did not spread to Penglai Palace.
The thickest snow since the beginning of winter in the tenth year of Xiping. From dusk to dusk, it fell all night long, covering the footsteps of pedestrians and horses, burying the bloodstains in front of Penglai Palace, and sending away those who had been ill for several years and were lazy in government. , an emperor who was repeatedly stretched by civil uprisings and had almost no achievements.
¡¡
In the Dangui Garden in the south of the city, Youtong looked at the wind and snow in the sky, his heart hanging in his throat, anxious and uneasy.
This is Fu Yu's mansion in the capital. It is surrounded by other residences of wealthy families. The buildings are majestic and the red walls are winding. However, the surrounding defenses are not necessarily inferior to those of the general's palace. After leaving Prince Rui's Mansion that day, she was arranged to live here for stability. Most of the manpower originally left in the garden suddenly decreased last night, and Fu Yu, who lives in the next courtyard, did not come home late at night. You Tong didn't need to guess what this meant.
The transformation of the palace to seize the direct descendants is a life and death struggle, the dangers of which are frightening just thinking about them.
She couldn't help with such a matter, so she could only wait for news and secretly pray that Fu Yu was safe and sound.
The long night was long and her heart was hanging. She couldn't sleep. She sat in front of the lamp all night, opening the curtain and going out from time to time to listen to what was going on outside.
¡ª¡ªExcept for the wooden clappers that played the watch, there was only the wind whistling in with the snow flakes, making people¡¯s teeth chatter.
She went out again and again, watching the snow on the verandah getting thicker and thicker, watching the red tiles on the eaves being replaced with silver, watching the crowds of people in front of the court, the lanterns gradually extinguished, but there was still no movement outside, a deathly silence. The sound of the wind stopped, and suddenly there was a clicking sound outside the house. Youtong's eyebrows jumped and he ran out quickly, but the snow on the branch of the tree was too heavy and could not bear it, so it was crushed.
She rubbed her brows and suddenly heard the sound of very slight footsteps in the distance.
Thinking it was an illusion, Youtong quickly pricked up his ears and held his breath. Sure enough, he heard the sound of walking in the snow, getting closer and closer.
And the rhythm of the pace, even though it is extremely slight, is extremely familiar.
Youtong was almost ecstatic in her heart, her hands and feet were trembling slightly, and she quickly walked out of the yard. In the faint light of the sky, she saw someone walking vigorously, with snow on his shoulders and gray hair on his eyebrows and on top of his head, like a grandfather who was over 60 years old. However, the serious demeanor on his body was still the same as before, and his sharp eyes looked over through the snow and fog. After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly stepped forward and rushed over.
It¡¯s still dark, and it¡¯s the coldest time before dawn. The air is so cold that it almost turns to ice.
Fu Yu stepped on the bloodstains of Penglai Palace and drove through the long street of deep snow. When he returned to his residence, he saw Xianxiu GaoHowever, the person who was sent out of the palace was barely considered a loyal minister and had never participated in the fight for the legitimate son. He was summoned by Emperor Xiping as a last-minute entrustment, asking him to assist and advise the King of England not to kill his own brothers. Xu Chaozong had no grudges or hatred towards him, so he spared his life.
Empress Sun grieved excessively and fell ill in Fengyang Palace. Xu Chaozong arranged for the funeral to be handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Inner Court Department.
Because Emperor Xiping had been seriously ill for a long time, it was not difficult to prepare for the funeral. The country cannot be without a king for a day. After the advice of the officials, Xu Chaozong ascended the throne a few days later and changed his name to Hui'an. The new emperor ascended the throne, but the throne was vacant. He only respected the empress Sun as the empress dowager, and made the imperial concubine the imperial concubine. Then he issued an order to the world that no banquets and music should be allowed in any house with a noble family within a year, and the common people were not allowed to get married in March, because During the reign of the late emperor, there were several wars, and he also issued an edict to grant amnesty to the whole country, which made him very busy.
However, this deliberately created new atmosphere failed to inspire any prosperity.
With the decline of the imperial court, various local officials were actually under the control of the Jiedushi and did not necessarily obey the imperial decrees. Although the amnesty edict contained detailed rules on what could be pardoned and what could not be pardoned, when it came into the hands of local officials, they did not necessarily obey the imperial orders. The rules and regulations were as strict as Yongning's, and Fu Deqing was in charge, so the amnesty was handled smoothly. However, under Wei Jian and others, the people to be pardoned were decided by officials and did not follow the rules of the court. Instead, money was needed to manage, which led to public resentment. Deeper.
These things are thousands of miles away from the capital, and Xu Chaozong has no time to take care of them.
What he is worried about now is the immediate things.
Although he had seized the throne, he was at a disadvantage by the King of England when he took over the throne. Now that the Xu family has a bad reputation, they lack a helping hand. In that palace change, two important ministers were lost, and he did not dare to use the former confidants of the King of England. Looking around, there were not many available people.
The previous dynasty's decrees were difficult to implement and everyone was working on his own. As an emperor, he seemed to be in name only, and the harem was equally uneasy.
Concubine Zhao, mother and son, were deeply favored by Emperor Xiping. Even though the King of England was fined and grounded for assassinating his own brother at the beginning of the year, they still loved her very much after the incident passed. The people in the harem are the most likely to follow the wind and follow the trend, and they have been won over by Concubine Zhao. Among these people, some were surrendered to the new emperor and some were loyal to the old master. They were hiding in the palace in a mixed manner. Even though many of them were dismissed, Xu Chaozong could not sleep well.
Although the news of that night was not publicized, the late emperor passed away and the King of England and several important officials were buried in the palace. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that something was fishy.
¡°I don¡¯t know where the rumors secretly spread out, and I don¡¯t know who instigated them. There are military commanders who are friends with the King of England who are ready to take action.
When Xu Chaozong was in the palace, he only wanted to win the throne. From the initial greed to the later obsession, he could not extricate himself. Now that my long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, and I have actually sat in the seat of this great Ninth Five-Year Plane, I feel like I am sitting on pins and needles - people's hearts are distracted, and there are dangers everywhere. The civil and military officials of the court are kneeling in front of him, but few of them really respect him.
When the building is about to collapse, he is in a high position, as if he is sitting on a tired egg. If he is not careful, he will be shattered to pieces.
Without civil servants who could take charge of their own affairs, let alone military generals who could sit in the capital and intimidate others, Xu Chaozong was in an even more difficult situation than when he was in Prince Rui's Mansion. He had no choice but to ride on the tiger and temporarily turn his attention to the Fu family, who had great achievements in Conglong. . (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
