    On September 25th of the eighth year of Chengyuan, the emperor returned to Beijing and passed through Songzhou, Henan Province. He was attacked by rebel spies and assassins who infiltrated the palace. Prime Minister Cui Zheng and the third prince bravely saved him and died. The emperor also died of serious injuries.

    Fortunately, Mrs. Chu¡¯s body protected the queen and the five princes and survived.

    Before his death, the emperor designated the fifth prince as the new emperor, granted him the title of First Marquis of the Lady of Chu, and served as regent and supervisor of the country.

    Three days after the edict was issued, the mourning in the main hall continued. Soldiers and horses galloped inside and outside Songzhou. The doors and windows of teahouses and restaurants on the street were closed, and no one was walking around.

    A carriage slowly drove in from the city gate, surrounded by soldiers in front and behind.

    Seeing this car, the almost airtight soldiers and horses stationed outside the palace immediately separated into a road and stood on both sides, not checking or asking.

    The carriage stopped in front of the door. Bao Bao opened the umbrella with one hand and helped Li Minglou, who was wrapped in a black cloak, to get out of the car.

    Li Minglou drove straight in through the palace gate. The palace was full of soldiers and generals. The original imperial guards were all gone They died fighting to the death while guarding the emperor.

    The corpses were placed in the open space in front of the main hall. In addition to them, there were also some eunuchs and maids who died, and on the other side were the rebel assassins who were killed.

    The emperor was well prepared, the people pretending to be assassins were all fresh, and the rebel flags and signs were all ready

    It was the soldiers and horses pretending to be Ande Zhong. After Taiyuan Mansion was defeated, Shi Chao fled north, while Ande Zhong approached here. It was logical and natural

    The story was compiled with thoughtful details, saving them trouble, and they could summon the civil and military ministers to the palace that night to see the scene.

    Li Minglou glanced across the corpse in front of the hall without squinting.

    The sound of crying in the house was loud.

    The disheveled officials were kneeling on the ground. Most of them arrived in the middle of the night. They had not bothered to tidy up their appearance for three days. Some people kept fainting because they were too sad or did not eat or drink.

    The eunuchs were carrying soup and water, persuading the ministers to eat, and carrying the fainted officials to the next room for treatment by the imperial doctors. They were busy coming and going.

    Three coffins were placed in the middle, hastily collecting the bodies of the emperor, the third prince and Cui Zheng.

    The queen hugged the six-year-old fifth prince and knelt on the other side with the concubines and princesses, crying bitterly.

    ¡°Madam is here,¡± said the eunuch standing at the door.

    His voice was not loud, but the crying in the room suddenly stopped, and everyone looked over.

    Li Minglou took off his hood and walked in. He put away his black umbrella and followed closely beside him. This was Yuanji's order to him, and he would never leave.

    Now she can go anywhere with her entourage, and no one can question her for being disrespectful.

    "Mrs. Chu! Why did you come back now?" But officials can angrily ask other questions.

    Li Minglou ignored him and walked to the queen and saluted: "Your Majesty, there are no rebel movements for a hundred miles outside Songzhou. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

    The queen nodded to her with tears in her eyes: "Thank you for your hard work, madam."

    She shouted loudly to the eunuch beside her.

    "Hurry and show your seat to Madam, she is still injured."

    The eunuchs hurriedly brought the futon, and Li Minglou sat down. A bowl of ginseng soup was then brought to him. Li Minglou took it. The eyes around him followed her every move, and he saw her sleeves sliding down to reveal the cloth-wrapped breasts.  wrist¡­¡­

    It really hurts.

    Injuries can also be fake.

    The officials in the hall who were crying and in silence exchanged glances with each other.

    This incident was too sudden and unbelievable. They had too many questions to ask, but when they came, they did not see Mrs. Chu. Only the queen hugged the fifth prince and held the edict.

    The edict was dictated by the emperor, and Ayu, a close confidant of the great eunuch Hu Ping they didn't know whether he was a close confidant or not, just an eunuch wrote it, and the emperor's seal and jade seal were complete.

    The next question to ask is General Xiao Qi, the emperor's newly transferred bodyguard.

    But the woman who survived the banquet and was granted the title of regent disappeared.

    "Madam went to chase the rebels."

    The Queen and General Xiao Qi gave the answer.

    A group of people could only hold back and wait. By now, their strength was exhausted.

    "Madam! What the hell is going on!"

    The officials took a deep breath and stood in front of the three coffins and asked questions.

    Li Minglou said: "That's what the empress said."

    ¡°The Queen¡¯s Majesty is not enough to deal with the courtiers.

    "Why are there rebels in the palace?" an official asked, "Why did the assassination happen when you entered the palace for a night banquet?"

    And you are the only one who survivesGovernment affairs should still be handled by people who understand.  "

    The queen said oh and looked around the room.

    It¡¯s up to them to choose. The officials sat up straight. How could the Queen understand this? She couldn¡¯t even tell who they were!

    The queen said: "Master Zhu, the Minister of Household Affairs."

    The officials were stunned for a moment, and then they saw an official standing up.

    "Empress!" He shouted loudly, "I am here!"

    The Queen said: "The Prime Minister praised you a lot during his lifetime. Now that the Prime Minister is gone, you will take over his duties."

    Zhu Shangshu saluted and choked with sobs: "I obey the decree!"

    Li Minglou said: "Your Majesty, since we have a prime minister, the prime minister will discuss court affairs with your Majesty, and I will discuss with Governor Li about returning to the capital."

    The queen nodded, Li Minglou turned around and walked out, and the noise behind him started.

    Why do you just obey the order and decide the prime minister?  The officials were shocked. When did this Zhu Shangshu hook up with the queen?

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    Everyone is obviously crying here!

    what happened!

    This won¡¯t work!

    There are so many of them, how could it be the turn of this person named Zhu!

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    It was lively here, but the room next to it was much quieter. Officials who fainted or pretended to faint came here to drink ginseng soup and take the opportunity to sleep and rest.

    I watched an official close his eyes and snore, while the person next to him stood up straight and stretched.

    "Mr. Jiang!" An imperial doctor saw it and waved to the side and whispered, "You should take a rest."

    Jiang Liang turned around and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm just here to help. Madam is not here, and we have too few people. I'm really ashamed."

    The imperial doctors sighed: "Thank you for sending so many ginseng, otherwise we would not be able to save so many people."

    Jiang Liang smiled: "It takes a little effort, it takes a little effort."

    And it was not in vain. Officials who drank his ginseng soup were given some money, and the one who bought the prime minister was even more generous!  Replace it with ginseng and the soup will last for a year!

    Liu Fan also said that Linzhou was poor, and the officials from Linzhou were much richer than those in the capital!  Sure enough, the court officials were different.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
