Compared to Xiao Yuanqi's turmoil at the moment, Xiao Yuanjing calmed down. He stood up from behind Wei Changgong, stood face to face with Xiao Yuanchang, and smiled with his lips curled up:

"Second brother, don't blame yourself. I can only say that the eldest brother has noble people to help people. It doesn't matter. I don't blame you. But elder brother, you want to deal with me after all. This matter has nothing to do with the second brother. I hope you can Let him out of the palace, I will follow you."

Xiao Yuanchang stared into his eyes suddenly with a sense of sarcasm, and snorted unabashedly: "Fake benevolence and righteousness, you use this to win people's hearts, they will fall for you, father will fall for you, I will not. "

Xiao Yuanchang raised his head to signal, and the forbidden army behind him stepped forward and took Xiao Yuanqi under custody, and took him out of the Ganlu Palace. The rest of the people held Wei Changgong and Xiao Yuanjing hostage, and did not put them in the dungeon, but It was sent directly to Yilan Palace, where Concubine Gao Shu used to live.

After Xiao Yuanchang took control of the entire imperial palace, Yilan Palace became his residence. Everything here was arranged according to his memory, including curtains and bonsai, and every place was his memory.

Xiao Yuanjing and Wei Changgong stopped in the main hall of Yilan Hall, and Xiao Yuanchang also walked in afterward. The forbidden army surrounded the hall, as if they were watching them two.

Xiao Yuanjing was a little puzzled, and looked at Xiao Yuanchang: "Brother didn't get rid of us, and didn't put us in prison, why did he bring us here?"

Xiao Yuanchang walked in the hall with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of nostalgia: "I grew up here, and I am very familiar with everything here, Xiao Yuanjing, you are born with a good life, you are born as a son, there is no need to fight or grab, in the future The crown prince will naturally be yours, but what about me? I am full of ambition and try to please my father everywhere, but I only get a few compliments. I understand, why would he want to hand over the country to you, a mediocre person!"

Xiao Yuanchang spoke harshly, and when he turned his head to look at Xiao Yuanjing, the corners of his red eyes were full of viciousness, his injustice and unwillingness were vividly displayed at this moment.

Xiao Yuanjing looked at him calmly, lowered his eyes and smiled slightly: "If you want to be the crown prince, then you can talk about it well, and I'll just give it to you!"

Xiao Yuanchang was irritated by this contemptuous tone, and rushed forward to grab Xiao Yuanjing's collar, but was blocked by Wei Changgong, but Xiao Yuanchang took advantage of the situation to grab Wei Changgong's collar, with a fierce look on his face:

"Do you think it's great that you are the son of Zhenbei Prince! I want to kill you Wei Changgong! Yu'er is the only person in this world who understands me, but you still kill her! Yu'er told me not to take revenge, She has long expected that she might die, but I can't forgive you, I want everyone in your Zhenbei Palace to be buried with Yu'er!"

Wei Changgong stared into his eyes, and smiled slightly: "If you want to be buried with the Prince of Zhenbei, do you want to be an enemy of the world?"

The two confronted each other, Xiao Yuanchang was furious, he pushed Wei Changgong away and said: "What is it that you are an enemy of the world, it is you who secretly entered the capital from the northern palace and conspired with King Changping to murder His Majesty, I am the one who saved you." , I am the hero, the future prince, the king! I am the winner! Someone, lock the two of them up for me, I don't believe that they can escape from under my nose like the Ye brothers. "

As soon as he spoke, he waved his hands, and the forbidden army surrounded the two men and captured them. Fortunately, they did not struggle, nor were they injured.

The personal guard beside Xiao Yuanchang looked at the two people who were escorted away, and couldn't help frowning slightly, especially puzzled: "Your Highness, this King Changping and Prince Wei are too calm."

Xiao Yuanchang sneered: "Now in my hands, how high does he think he can jump? Naturally, he pretended to be calm. He thought that I would not dare to touch him because of the presence of people from Zhenbei Palace? Just a joke, now they are in my hands. So don't worry, it's time for the father to take the throne."

The guard said worriedly: "Your Highness, King Changping is full of tricks, so be careful."

Xiao Yuanchang turned his head sideways, and the guard shut up with a sharp look. He looked at the guard with a sinister look in his eyes: "Why, do I still need you to teach me how to do things?"

Guard: "Subordinates dare not."

Xiao Yuanchang snorted coldly: "Go to work, save yourself from long nights and dreams, my king will ascend the throne tomorrow."

The guard glanced at Xiao Yuanchang, then bowed his fists and then retreated, leaving Xiao Yuanchang alone in the Yilan Hall. The evening wind that seeped into the main hall stirred the veil in the hall, and he stood quietly with his arms open to feel the slight The breeze blowing over the whole body is like wearing a yellow robe, enjoying the worship of thousands of people.

The Shan Hu Long live rang in his ears, as if he had already ascended the throne as the emperor at this moment, and could dominate the life and death of everyone.

In the early morning of the next day, at Maoshi, the ministers of civil and military affairs of the previous dynasty gathered in the Xuanzheng Palace of the previous dynasty.

The sky was not yet bright, and the morning breeze was somewhat cold, as if it carried a hint of early winter, creeping in along the skirts of people's clothes, making people shiver inadvertently.

All the ministers in the Xuanzheng Palace looked at each other, seeing that many familiar faces were missing and replaced by new ones, they felt that it was only a few days, and there seemed to be a cloud over the court, which could not be dispersed.

Since the emperor became seriously ill, Xiao Yuanchang gradually took over the administration of the government, and most of these newcomers were promoted by Xiao Yuanchang.

Some civil servants headed by Doctor Yushi looked very dignified, Taiwei said: "Zhang Yushi, what is your majesty's illness, why is it still not recovering?"

Doctor Yushi shook his head, as if he was thinking about this.

The officials in the court hall were whispering to each other and shouting loudly, but the officials promoted by Xiao Yuanchang raised their voices and began to talk at this moment:

"Since His Majesty was seriously ill, His Royal Highness King Rongping has been waiting by his side in undressed clothes, and even provoked state affairs. It is really not easy."

"That's right, think about His Royal Highness Changping, as a son of the eldest son, he doesn't want to make progress. His Majesty has been ill these days, and he doesn't even show his face."

"Isn't His Royal Highness Changping sick? I don't think His Royal Highness Changping is sick, but he is unwilling to serve the sick and is hiding."

…………

The two of you spoke as if no one else was there, and gradually the hall fell silent. Hearing the irony in the two people's words, Xun Ruobai couldn't take it anymore, and hurriedly said:

"His Royal Highness Changping never announces what he does, so some people think that only those who do things for others are the real people who do things."

As soon as Xun Ruobai said this, it naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of those two people, and then, the people in the court began to whisper again.

"Xun Shizi is talking about who is the bastard? Is it the king?"

Suddenly, the hall fell silent, no one dared to look at the source of the sound, and no one dared to stretch their ears to hear what this person said.

All the officials in the court knew that the current court situation was in Xiao Yuanchang's hands, and if he offended him, his future would be in jeopardy, or his life would be in danger.

Xun Ruobai turned sideways and looked at Xiao Yuanchang who was walking in front of him. After a little salute, Xun Ruobai said: "The king of Rongping County is underestimated. The minister is talking about right and wrong. The person who provokes the relationship between you and King Changping is a piece of shit. , Duke Rongping is young, you should pay attention to your body."

During these days when Xun Ruobai was serving as the censor in the court, he has become good at his tongue. He said every word of Rongping county king. What sounds nice is the honorific title. Their grades are half as low as Xiao Yuanjing's.

Other people in the court could understand it, so Xiao Yuanchang could naturally understand it too, but since he took control of the court situation, he has lost his previous gentle demeanor, and has become more ruthless and ruthless.

But Xiao Yuanchang just laughed, ignored it, and then walked towards the front of the hall.

Just when Xiao Yuanchang stepped on the first step of the Dragon Throne, a minister stopped him: "Wait a minute, Your Highness, the upper part is His Majesty's position, which is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, Your Highness, don't go beyond it."

Xiao Yuanchang sneered, and was about to take two steps up. He stopped in front of the dragon chair, moved his eyes inch by inch on the dragon chair, and then turned to look at the senior minister:

"This king naturally knows that this is the position of the father, but after a while, this will be my position."

As soon as Xiao Yuanchang's words came out, there was an uproar in the court, and they could hardly believe that it was true.

Doctor Yushi said: "His Royal Highness King Rongping, this statement is a rebellion, you must not forget it."

The other courtiers also followed suit, but Xiao Yuanchang didn't care about it. After stepping down the steps, he said triumphantly: "Father is seriously ill, and he fears that the country will be entrusted to no one, so he specially decreed that he will be enshrined in this king's place." .”

All the ministers in the court were astonished, except for those Xiao Yuanchang's henchmen who were overjoyed, they were almost in disbelief: "I want to see Your Majesty!"

Xiao Yuanchang snorted coldly: "Okay, I'll let you guys meet."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yuanchang slapped his palms, and Jiao Huan, who had been standing outside the hall, was carried into the hall at this moment. The emperor who was on Jiao Huan's face was pale, his pupils were weak, and it was impossible to speak.

The eunuchs parked the emperor in front of the dragon chair and faced the ministers. The emperor's time was running out, and the ministers who saw the emperor were also terrified and didn't know what to do.

The prime minister said: "Since your majesty is in poor health, according to the ancestral system, the position of crown prince should also be held by His Royal Highness Prince Changping. When will it be your turn, Prince Rongping?"

Xiao Yuanchang looked at him with a somewhat ruthless expression: "Oh? Then you should ask Father, does he want me to be the emperor, or Xiao Yuanjing who doesn't even want to show his face?"

The courtiers all looked towards the emperor, and although the current emperor could not speak, his eyes could still move, so they looked towards Xiao Yuanchang at this moment.

Xiao Yuanchang smiled in satisfaction, and then said: "You have all seen that the emperor's intention is that I be the emperor, not Xiao Yuanjing."

As soon as this remark came out, his party members knelt down and kowtowed one after another, shouting long live the new emperor.

But there are still some ministers, but Sizhou never knelt down, Xiao Yuanchang's eyes suddenly changed: "Do you have any objections between the Prime Minister and the Yushi doctor?"

"We will not recognize the edict of Zen position without His Majesty's personal writing."

Xiao Yuanchang smiled without hesitation: "Just now you wanted to see His Majesty, but now that His Majesty is here, you still need to see the imperial edict. You have so many requests, Mr. Prime Minister. Since this king... no, it's me, since I have just ascended to the Great Treasure, I naturally want to see you." I have fulfilled all your demands, come here! Strip off the official uniforms of the prime minister and the imperial censor, put them on death row, disrespect the new king, and be rude to me, and I will not spare you!"

As soon as the words fell, the forbidden army guarding outside the hall immediately rushed into the Xuanzheng Hall, captured the prime minister and the doctor Yushi, and tore off their official uniforms. Such a rude move immediately frightened the other officials. They knelt down and kowtowed.

Xun Ruobai was the only exception. He stood calmly and looked at Xiao Yuanchang calmly.

"Xun Ruobai, do you think that I dare not touch you?" Xiao Yuanchang said in a threatening tone, "I still think that I can't touch your Duke Qing's mansion."

Xun Ruobai smiled calmly: "Young King Rongping, you are collaborating with the enemy and treason, how long do you think you can stay in that position?"

There was an uproar in the courtroom, Xiao Yuanchang's face was naturally not good-looking, he clenched his fists and said: "You slander me, but you must know that this will destroy the nine clans."

Xun Ruobai: "I'm afraid that if you die, the people of my nine clans will live well. The imperial army who just came in, is it really an imperial army? Do you think you can hide it from everyone? Those two just now are clearly Beiyi It’s you! Colluding with the Beiyi prince Ashinamodo to seek the throne!”
