For half a month after entering the autumn day, Zhao Yin's secret letters were sent to Prince Qing's mansion almost every day.King Qing knew that Zhao Yin was about to rebel, but when the news actually came, they were still taken aback.

Since the founding of Dayan, Yandu has never been in such a mess.Those black-armored warriors who broke the silence of the night easily broke into the mansions of several important ministers in the city and dragged people out of their homes.

These are not the scariest.

After the Geng Drum beat a few times in the distance, under the still night sky, in the Yandu Palace, the Empress Dowager asked angrily: "Zhao Yin, are you going to rebel?"

Zhao Yin didn't answer, he raised his head and calmly looked at Zhao Zhen who was shrinking behind the Empress Dowager, whose face was swollen from drinking and having fun all day.

"Queen, Your Majesty, I think it's time for someone else to sit on the dragon chair."

Before Zhao Yin appeared, Zhao Zhen was originally in high spirits after drinking, so she attracted the court lady who was sent by the Empress Dowager to question her.

Ever since the Empress Dowager was imprisoned, Zhao Zhen seemed to have seen her own position clearly. She kept silent in the hall, and indulged in drinking and sex after retreating from the court, taking the posture of a subjugated king.

Zhao Yin indulged him to retreat into the turtle shell peacefully in this way, but the Empress Dowager was obviously not happy.The ministers under the Empress Dowager were not happy either.

A series of tricks fell on Zhao Yin's body one after another without the empress dowager personally instructing.

Zhao Yin accepted it calmly at first, but the other party's actions became more and more serious, even hurting his wife and children, and finally annoyed him.

Zhao Yin didn't have much military power in his hands from the beginning.

In the past, he was afraid that he would be favored by the first emperor and raised his troops to rebel. Later, Emperor Mingde obeyed the empress dowager's words and oppressed him.

Later, when he returned to the palace, even though he was the regent, he was also treated as a puppet.

Unexpectedly, when he woke up suddenly, he directly imprisoned the Empress Dowager who was listening to the government behind the curtain.

If he hadn't let go of his hand on purpose today, the Empress Dowager would not have appeared by Zhao Zhen's side at this time.

In the huge imperial palace, the servants who were intimidated by the formidable iron armor prostrated themselves on the ground. The dark iron armor covered the floor tiles that shone brightly in the moonlight outside the palace, and also covered the only luck left in these people's hearts.

At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, the ground was chilly. Somewhere in the distance, screams could be heard faintly. The disgusting smell of blood blew here along the wind. Everyone was trembling and whimpering, and some even lost control.

Starting from the palace gate, the people around Zhao Yin beheaded many people along the way, and the blades were all curled up.Standing next to him at this moment made people feel trembling even more.Even the face of the Empress Dowager turned pale after seeing the man shaking the knife in his hand.

"Zhao Yin! You are rebellious...you...you want to rebel! Are you worthy of your father!"

Zhao Yin sneered.

Since he was able to launch a coup in the middle of the night and lead people into the palace himself, why would he worry about something and feel sorry for his father.He didn't bloodbath the palace in the middle of the night, didn't behead Zhao Zhen, and completely turned the entire imperial city upside down, which was enough to give them face.

The pair of eyes that resembled the late emperor casually swept Zhao Zhen's face again: "Zhao Zhen."

He called the emperor by his first name, and everyone shuddered suddenly.

Zhao Zhen was also terrified of his uncle, trembling, about to walk out from behind the Empress Dowager.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to be afraid of him!"

The Empress Dowager still held on, her wrinkled face could not hide her fear: "He is a traitor, he can't touch you!"

"I don't need to touch him." Zhao Yin said, "With these soldiers and horses, he will obediently give up the throne. Zhao Zhen, are you right?"

Zhao Zhen shook her head and nodded again.

"emperor!"

The Empress Dowager is a woman who refuses to admit defeat. Facts have also proved that since she first married the first emperor, her purpose was not just to bear children for the Zhao family.

She also wanted to be the only mistress in the harem, and wanted to be able to manage the government with the emperor like other queens in the history books.

But according to the Zhao family's ancestral training, women in the harem are not allowed to participate in politics.

Moreover, the first emperor was not such a dedicated person, he had many women, whom he loved or not.There are also many women who gave birth to him sons and daughters, smart and not smart.

In contrast, her Xuan'er looked so clumsy and dull.

In order to support Zhao Xuan's ascension to the throne, the Empress Dowager did many things, but she never expected that Zhao Xuan would die so early and Zhao Zhen's throne would be so unstable.

"You can't rebel, you are the regent..."

Her momentum was a little weak, but looking at her timid grandson, she had to hold on.

Zhao Yin smiled: "Queen, I think it has never been recorded in the history books, which regent would be willing to step down from this position in the end."

"you can not……"

"Why can't I." Zhao Yin said word by word, "I am the most beloved youngest son of the first emperor, and I am also the regent who was canonized by the empress Jinkou Yuyan. Behind me, there are brothers who support me, who have military power and the support of civil officials. , Empress, tell me why I can't."

After the Empress Dowager heard this, her face became paler.She knew that what Zhao Yin said was the truth, if it wasn't for her back then, how could Zhao Xuan have such a character and ability to sit on the throne.

Afterwards, Zhao Xuan, who became a puppet of the Qiu family, was not because of her.

But how could she willingly give up...

"Your name is not right, your words are not right, how can you..."

The Empress Dowager still wanted to struggle, but Zhao Yin interrupted her directly and bluntly.

"If the empress dowager and the emperor are willing to announce to the world and tell everyone that they have found the imperial edict of their father, according to the edict, I should succeed to the throne, and abdicate to the virtuous, then I can save Zhao Zhen's life and make him an idle prince in the future. , live life to the fullest."

Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up immediately after hearing "Lord Idle".

The Empress Dowager grabbed him and shouted, "Someone! Come and save me!"

She yelled so loudly that she almost broke her throat, but apart from the servants who knelt on the ground trembling, none of those who had said in front of her several times that they would do their best to protect her did not show up.

"Stop shouting, Queen Mother. They're all dead."

As if to confirm Zhao Yin's words, a fresh, freshly severed head was handed over from the back layer by layer.

The head was still dripping blood, Zhao Yin glanced at the deputy who was holding his hair by his side, the latter threw the head expressionlessly on the steps, at the Empress Dowager's feet.

The human head rolled on the ground, and when it fell to her feet, the Empress Dowager subconsciously looked away.

However, at this moment, Zhao Zhen rarely had the courage to look down, and with a low cry, she fell directly to the ground.

"Grandma..."

"Garden!"

Following two exclamations, the Empress Dowager finally rolled her eyes and passed out on the ground.

Zhao Yin sighed suddenly, turned his head and asked, "Why did you take the head of the empress dowager raised by her old man?"

"I just saw that man in brocade clothes, holding the imperial saber, screaming and pissing, looking intrusive, so he chopped it off..."

Zhao Zhen's abdication was clean and tidy.

Zhao Yin had already prepared the so-called real edict, and all he needed was Zhao Zhen to write the Zen Edict, and everything would be settled.

After the edict was written, Zhao Zhen finally clearly felt the regent's control over the three provinces and six ministries—almost no one stopped him, and it passed so easily, without even a voice of opposition, as if everyone had early Just waiting for this day to come.

At the end of the autumn of the second year of Yong'an, the regent Zhao Yin ascended the throne, named the abolished emperor Zhao Zhen, and became the king of Xian, and changed Yuan Taifeng.

It means the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the grain is plentiful.

The enthronement ceremony is not luxurious.

The people in Man Yandu only knew about the turmoil of the night before, so they didn't expect it, but the dragon chair in the palace had already been replaced by another person in the time it took them to close their eyes.

But whoever is sitting is not sitting, no matter how bad it is, it is just like Emperor Mingde.

Because of the low expectations, when the people who came out of the palace put up notices, saying that the new emperor did not intend to spend most of the enthronement ceremony, and hoped that the entire imperial city would shrink down and go on a diet, so as to provide sufficient food, grass and military equipment for King Qing at the northwest border. The emperor's favor has risen.

That's right, even the two emperors turned a blind eye to the Da Yue family's invasion of the border, and even came up with such a bad idea as marriage, now this one has directly expressed his attitude as soon as he came to power, he is really called a storyteller in the streets and alleys The National People's Congress praised it generously.

Many literati and ink writers even said that this move is the move of a wise king.It seemed that the blood and cruelty of last night had blown away like the night wind.

When Zhao Yin went down to the palace, the Empress Dowager had already woken up. As soon as she entered the bedroom, she could smell a strong smell of medicine, and there was also a smell of decay after old age.

Zhao Yin frowned slightly, seeing the court lady saluting, closed her eyes and said: "Everyone go out, I have something to talk to my mother."

Although Zhao Yin is not the son of the empress dowager, he is also called a mother empress.

It's a pity that he can't abolish this woman's position on behalf of the emperor, otherwise the woman who is honored as the empress dowager should be someone else, not this woman who can harm the Zhao family for selfish desires.

The empress dowager has been in a coma ever since she fainted in front of everyone that night. The imperial guards did not dare to break the medicine, and sent the maids to pour the medicine in turn, forcefully hoisting the empress dowager to Zhao Yin, who was finally free after ascending the throne. Appear.

Zhao Yin entered the Nuan Pavilion, where the Empress Dowager was lying on her back on the bed, coughing from time to time, with blood dripping from the corners of her lips.

"Queen, I'm here to visit you."

The empress dowager's eyes were red, she looked at Zhao Yin with difficulty, and said with a smile: "Do you think...you won?"

"Isn't it?" Zhao Yin casually poured a cup of tea and handed it to the Empress Dowager, as if remembering that she didn't have the strength to raise her hand, she raised her eyebrows and fell down beside the bed.

"Do you really think... that you won?"

Zhao Yin raised his eyes: "What does the queen mother want to say?"

"You can rebel...others can...rebel."

"So what. The military power is in my hands, and the hearts of the people are in my hands. I am my wise king, and who can rebel."

The Empress Dowager felt cold all over her body, and she struggled to grab the quilt with her hands outside the quilt, and said hoarsely: "You think... that only you have the military power... none of your brothers... are vegetarians..."

"It's fine to cut down the feudal clan." Zhao Yin said casually.

"Cutting down the feudal clan? Hmph, are you going to cut down Zhao Jin's feudal clan too?"

Zhao Yin got up and approached slowly and said: "Is the queen mother trying to drive a wedge between our brothers?"

The empress dowager gasped.

Zhao Yin said unhurriedly: "Brother Huang, he is not interested in this position. If he wanted to seize the position, with the strength of the Xishan Camp and his popularity, he would have already won it. Why wait for you to take that stupid father and son The fact that the two ascended to the throne has given the Qiu family a lot of money for so many years."

"Do you think...your royal father...you are the only brothers?"

Zhao Yin remained silent and looked at the Empress Dowager with concentration.

The Empress Dowager laughed back angrily: "Heh, he still has a son... and another son who has been raised by Prince Qing's side..."

"Who?"

"That lowly bearded girl seduced Prince Qing, but your father got drunk...I fed her medicine, and then gave her to Jingyuanhou...I didn't expect that, she still Can conceive your father's dragon heir..."

The empress dowager's cloudy eyes rolled, and she smiled half-smile: "You should have seen your little brother... Does it look like... Does it look like your father? It's almost like it was carved out of a mold... Unfortunately, Jingyuan Hou is stupid, thinking that the Hu girl had an affair with King Qing, and the child she gave birth before the full term...is King Qing's son..."

In Zhao Yin's mind, there was a man surnamed Lu who was younger than him in Prince Qing's mansion.

Indeed, that face... was very similar to the young father in the portrait.

It turned out that the man was not the son of Marquis Jingyuan at all, nor was it the son of King Qing who had an affair with someone according to rumors, he was simply...

his brother.

"Look, he has military power and King Qing sits in charge. Sooner or later, he will be able to rebel against you..."

The more the Empress Dowager spoke, the more her heart ached, and there was a surge of heat in her nose, but it was too late to say a few more words, and blood gushed out of her mouth and nose.

Although she was struggling to call for help, Zhao Yin didn't move at all, she just looked at her fixedly, watching this vicious woman who was dying and refused to make people feel at ease struggling like a dehydrated fish until she was out of breath.
