Iron Dynasty

The hot air balloon took off in the direction of the wind and headed north.

Li San glanced at the hot air balloon in the sky, turned and followed the path of the Royal Garden to Chang'an Pier.

These days, he has been planning the route of retreat day and night, and now his hard work has not been in vain. After descending the mountain, he and the remaining secret guards rushed to the pier.

At this time, most of the soldiers, officials, concubines, and maids on the dock had already boarded the ship, and some merchant ships left for Qingzhou before he came.

Now at the dock is the last merchant ship.

Looking at the hydrogen balloon in the sky, Li San and his guards boarded the merchant ship. In the sound of the boatmen's horns, the merchant ship floated downstream along the rapids of the Yellow River. The cavalry could only watch them go.

However, in order to prevent the large-scale cavalry from besieging and blocking, he still let the hydrogen balloon take off. On the hydrogen balloon, the members of the secret guard changed into the clothes of Concubine Zhen, and they were responsible for inducing the pursuit of King Zhao.

When Li San and others boarded the ship, King Zhao's troops and horses had completed the encirclement of Chang'an City. In front of the palace gate, King Zhao and Zhao Yuanliang rode their horses and swaggered into the palace from the main gate.

Father, I didn't expect that one day we could ride horses into the palace. Zhao Yuanliang said, looking at the majestic buildings in the palace.

King Zhao laughed when he heard the words, Hahaha, from now on we can all ride in and out of the palace, not only that, we can also live in the palace.

Father said very much, but why don't you live in this palace without beauties, my son will catch a few beauties in this palace for the father, after all, there are 3,000 beauties in the palace, which can be said to be a collection of beauties from all over the world.

King Zhao became more and more happy, and he said to Zhao Yuanliang, You still know my mind best, not only beauty, this city of Chang'an is very rich, and it can provide us with the money to forge muskets.

Yes, King Father. Zhao Yuanliang pulled back his horse and led a pair of cavalry towards the inner courtyard of the palace.

At this moment, a team of imperial guards and the prince from the East Palace came to this side. The prince was very happy to see King Zhao. Now that his wound has been bandaged, and enduring the severe pain, the prince said, King Zhao, you But it's finally here.

King Zhao was riding on the horse, and he didn't mean to come down. He looked at Xiao Wenxuan's body on the stone bridge and said, You killed the emperor?

Of course, it's exactly the same as the original plan. The prince gritted his teeth and said, Now that the emperor is dead, I should be called me soon. This time King Zhao has escorted him well, and I will definitely reward King Zhao greatly.

Really? That's why I have to thank the prince. King Zhao said lightly, and then he said to the left and right generals: The prince has usurped the throne, come here, and take down such a wolf-hearted person.

The prince's smile stiffened for a moment. He watched King Zhao's soldiers approaching him in disbelief. He said anxiously, Uncle, what do you mean?

What do you mean, murdering the monarch and usurping the throne is a capital crime, and the old minister is loyal to the emperor, and naturally he wants to act for the heavens. Zhao Wang said loudly, looking like he was righteous.

At this moment, the prince understood no matter how stupid he was, and his face turned pale with fright.

Ding ding ding dong. Just when the prince was hesitant, there was a sound of weapons falling behind the prince, and the guards behind the prince all dropped their ice blades.

The leading guard general said: His Royal Highness, the murder of the king has nothing to do with me. This is all done by the prince alone, and King Zhao spares his life.

Well, as long as you can serve the king, this king will spare you the innocence. King Zhao laughed.

The prince had the pain of a broken arm, and now he was charged with murdering the king. At this moment, his body trembled violently, and fear quickly filled his heart. At this moment, he sounded Xiao Wenxuan's words.

It is impossible for King Zhao to make him emperor!

At this moment, he finally understood that everything was a conspiracy of King Zhao.

Thinking of this, he completely fell into despair. In order to survive, he said with tears in his eyes: Uncle, I am your nephew, uncle, please forgive me.

King Zhao was unmoved, he said to the generals: What are you still doing, put the prince in the prison and wait for the new emperor to rule after he ascends the throne.

Yes, Your Highness.

A group of wolf-like soldiers immediately rushed forward to grab the prince and escort him out. On the way, the prince cried, but no one sympathized with him.

At this time, King Zhao asked the guards and said, Where are the Queen and the Thirteenth Prince?

His Royal Highness, the Empress and the Thirteenth Prince are under strict supervision in the Eastern Palace, said the general of the imperial guard.

Take this king over there. Zhao Wang said.

The guards nodded, got up and took King Zhao to the East Palace. Under the guidance of the guards, King Zhao arrived at a side hall in the East Palace.

Your Highness, the Queen is here.

King Zhao nodded, hesitated for a while, and pushed open the door of the side hall.

Wanrong.

In the side hall, Empress Zhao was holding the thirteen princes and singing a song in a low voice with a sad voice.

The movement outside the door made her look up, and when she saw the face of the person who came, she suddenly sneered, It turned out to be King Zhao, congratulations to His Royal Highness King Zhao, the planning for so many years has finally come true today.

Queen Zhao's indifference made Zhao Wang feel uncomfortable for a while, and he said, Wanrong, why are you talking to me like this, we are a family.

Family? Empress Zhao sneered, Since you are here, the emperor must be dead, and the crown prince didn't follow, you must be imprisoned for the crime of murdering the king, why are you here for me? Is it for the Thirteenth Prince in my arms?

After being said by Queen Zhao, King Zhao's face was a little stiff. He said, Wanrong, you and Xiao Wenxuan are just husband and wife, but we are blood and blood. Now we Zhao Hua have the world, aren't you happy?

Should I be happy? Empress Zhao had hatred in her eyes, My husband is dead, and my son is about to die. The baby in my arms is just your puppet, and the future is also unknown, but you ask if you are happy or not. .

King Zhao was suffocated, he said: Wanrong, for this world, everything is worth it, I know you have lost a lot, but you have exchanged the supreme imperial power for the Zhao family, and when the thirteenth prince is older, I'll let him rest on me, and I promise I won't kill him.

Don't even think about it. Empress Zhao's eyes suddenly turned red, and she suddenly raised the baby in her arms, Even if I fall to death, he won't let your tricks succeed.

King Zhao was startled, and he immediately said nervously: Wanrong, why are you doing this, do you really have the heart to kill your own flesh and blood? I promise you, wouldn't it be good for him to be the emperor instead of letting him sit on the throne?

Empress Zhao shook her head and said, I don't believe you, you can never get the throne, you will only be a chaotic thief in the Great Yu Kingdom.

After saying that, she suddenly threw the baby in her arms.
