The Tyrant's Cannon Fodder Queen[Transmigration Book]

Although Xue Yao's mother refused to go back to the Xue family for refuge, she persuaded Xue Yao to ask the old lady of the Xue family to take him in, or immediately said that she would set up a separate family by herself, so as not to be implicated by her grandfather as much as possible.

Xue Yao naturally did not agree, and comforted his mother that the emperor would keep his grandfather.

He himself doesn't believe that the current puppet emperor can save anyone, and the emperor may not be able to protect himself, because the annual Circular Mound Sacrifice will be held in three days.

Every winter solstice, the emperor had to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and he had to walk to the Circular Mound Altar on that day.

Surrounding the emperor along the way was a sacrificial guard of honor, followed by a band of nearly 200 people. This was simply the best time to assassinate.

In order to guard against the third prince's people, Lu Jin'an arranged a network of imperial guards on the way from the emperor's palace gate to the Temple of Heaven.

On the day of the winter solstice, it seemed to be colder than in previous years. Xue Yao accompanied the five cubs and six cubs to wait for the news of the emperor's safe return to the palace in the Shang study.

This year's depression has made the two cubs much more reticent than before.

Xue Yao looked out the window, rubbing his cold hands, thinking that at this time in previous years, the face of the little chubby boy would become his little hand stove.

No matter how cold it is, his little chubby cub is always warm.

While thinking wildly, Xue Yao discovered that a group of patrol soldiers had passed by the gate of the courtyard five times. It was the same patrol group, and he had almost memorized the leader's appearance.

Xue Yao immediately told the fifth prince about the strange situation.

The fifth prince said: "Most of the imperial guards in the palace have been transferred by the eldest brother to protect the second brother. In our area, there may only be this team of guards left to patrol."

Xue Yao felt abnormal: "When there were many people in the past, there were no patrolmen passing by Shangshufang so frequently."

The sixth prince reacted as soon as he heard it: "No wonder I always feel that something is wrong. This team of patrols passes by every once in a while, as if they are specially circling around our Shang's study."

These words made Xue Yao's heart skip a beat, and he turned his head to look at the courtyard door outside the window.

Not long after, the same patrol team really passed by again.

Xue Yao immediately turned around and said to the two in a low voice: "We have to leave here. When they pass by the south gate again, we will escape from the Shang study through the west window, go to the school grounds to find Zhang Si, and let him lead us out of the palace."

"Who are these patrolling soldiers?" The sixth prince asked nervously.

"It's definitely not from the palace. Their running posture is different from that of the imperial army." The fifth prince has already seen the clue.

Xue Yao could only see that the armor of this group of people did not fit well, and that this group of people chose such an empty time to pretend to be the imperial army, probably because of the Third Prince.

Must get rid of them!

When the patrol passed by the south window again, Xue Yao took the two cubs over the west window and came to the west side of the yard.

The fence around the courtyard was ten feet high. Fortunately, the fifth prince had already practiced his lightness kung fu well, so it wasn't too difficult for him to climb up the wall and drag the sixth prince, who was slightly inferior in his lightness kung fu, up to it.

Together, the two brothers pulled Xue Yao over the wall and fled towards the training ground.

At the first moment of the hour, the sacrifice to heaven has been carried out to the beginning of the line.

The altar is located on the three-storey Temple of Heaven. The emperor stands in the center of the top floor, surrounded by dozens of people, standing in a row in front of the white marble railing.

The third prince, who is now King Yu, stood at the head of the two rows on the east side of the emperor.

In the past, the imperial guards were not arranged around the altar when offering sacrifices to heaven. This time, the situation was special. In order to ensure safety, Lu Jinan asked layers of imperial guards to stand inside the railings of the altar on the lower two floors to guard the emperor.

Lu Jin'an stood in the second row behind King Yu. He walked from the emperor's palace gate to this point. He didn't relax his vigilance for a moment. He looked over the surrounding imperial guards vigilantly and kept observing for any changes in the distance.

In this eerie silence, the sudden sound of the blade unsheathing caught everyone off guard.

A high-ranking guard standing on the second floor of the Temple of Heaven suddenly flew up to the altar and swung his knife at the emperor!

In this unexpected assassination, something even more inexplicable happened——

King Yu actually stepped forward to rescue him before the prince, and stopped the high-level guards who could beat him ten times with his bare hands, protecting the safety of the puppet emperor.

Lu Jinan was one step slower than him, and the other imperial guards were one step slower than Lu Jinan. The traitorous assassin was caught by the third child on the spot.

The emperor looked astonished, and stood behind the third brother who had "served as an escort".

Lu Jinan frowned and clenched his fists. He had already guessed the plot of the third prince's behind-the-scenes messenger.

Sure enough, the captured assassin confessed on the spot, saying that Lu Jinan ordered him to assassinate the emperor.

Even the imperial guards around him didn't believe this ridiculous framing, so when the meritorious escort King Yu ordered his guards to take down Prince Rui, no one moved in the Temple of Heaven, which was packed with imperial guards.

There was no expression on Lu Jin'an's face, but he told the third child calmly: "The governor of Huguang has led people to surround the capital, and your uncle Tong Ningzhao was ordered to arrive at the front line of the anti-Japanese war last month, so he can't take care of you anymore."

After finishing speaking, Lu Jinan ordered the assassin and the third child to be arrested pending trial, and the imperial guards immediately obeyed the order and drew their swords out of their sheaths!

However, the tip of the knife of some of the guards suddenly turned and pierced the chest of the guard beside him.

The long knife slipped from the guard's hand and fell to the ground with a clang. Through the blood mist on his chest, he looked at his brother who was attacking him in astonishment.

The bloody tip of the knife was pulled out of his chest, and a group of guards fell to the ground with such bewildered eyes.

There are spies of the third prince in the forbidden army!

Seeing that the situation was not right, Lu Jinan made a lightning move and snatched the Forbidden Army's sword beside him, whether it was an enemy or a friend.

The third child was already prepared, and pulled the emperor back a few steps. Immediately, a group of forbidden soldiers stood in front of him, pointing their knives at Lu Jin'an!

The imperial guards on the periphery drew their swords one after another, including Lu Jin'an's men and Yu Wang's men.

In a burst of panic, the forbidden army, who didn't know whether it was an enemy or a friend, all retreated to avoid surprise attacks, and no one cared about the emperor's life or death.

"Brother, you are so wicked that on the day of offering sacrifices to heaven, you deliberately arranged for the forbidden army to surround the emperor, taking the opportunity to betray and assassinate you!" The third child smiled strangely.

Lu Jin'an looked calm: "Third brother, let's capture it with nothing. I guess you will do it today. It's not enough for you to just buy a group of forbidden soldiers. There are [-] soldiers waiting outside the city. Your money is not enough to make these traitors of the forbidden army work for you."

"Listen, all officers and men!" Before he could respond, Lu Jin'an's eyes turned cold, and he ordered to everyone: "The capital has been surrounded, and if those who have been bewitched by the rebel King Yu repent in time, they will forget the past. Those who capture the rebel alive will be rewarded ten thousand gold. Feng Fuguo General!"

This sentence of kindness and majesty made the point of the knife point at his rebel imperial army, and his expression changed.

The third prince sneered unhurriedly and said: "Eighty thousand soldiers, is it worth showing off like this? With such a force, I'm afraid they can't even break through the city gates?"

Lu Jin'an said coldly: "Open your eyes and see clearly that the guards of the city have all been ordered to come here to escort them. Who can resist the troops outside the city?"

"That's right, thank you, big brother, for making it happen." The youngest said with a smile, "Now on the Nine Gates Tower, there is not a single forbidden army, all of them are soldiers of my uncle Tong Ningzhao."

"Impossible!" The emperor standing behind him said anxiously: "Tong Ningzhao was ordered to fight last month."

The third child turned to the second brother and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is a priority. With such a rebel around you, General Tong must first clear the king's side, and then follow the order to fight against the Japanese."

The emperor's face turned pale.

"I don't know if our 15 elite Tong family army can hold off the [-] mob who have never fought before?" The third child's smile suddenly disappeared, his eyes showed murderous looks, and he ordered sharply: "Take Prince Rui for me!"

"Who dares!" Lu Jin'an lifted the tip of the knife, and his gaze slowly scanned the circle, and the rebel imperial army who surrounded him were forced to take a step back by that gaze.

"What are you still doing?" The third son roared, "General Tong's 15 soldiers are stationed at the city gate, and the [-] rebels have already been killed by now. You also want to be Prince Rui's rebels and die in Tong's house." Under the saber!"

A group of imperial guards did not hesitate after hearing the words, and attacked Lu Jin'an at the same time with their knives.

The emperor on the altar shouted to the guards below, ordering them to protect Prince Rui.

The third child followed closely and threatened: "The traitor deceived Sheng Cong, the assassin has already confessed the evidence of Prince Rui's treason, whoever dares to act rashly will be punished as treason!"

Lu Jin'an thought that one enemy was not superior, and in the chaos of knives, he suddenly felt the cold air approaching behind him, turned around and swung his knife to block, knocking down an arrow!

Only then did he look in the direction of the bow and arrow, and found that there was an archer ambushing on the roof not far away.

Lu Jinan was startled, and hurriedly looked at the surrounding roofs. Before he could confirm how many ambushes there were, arrows shot from three sides!

"Whoosh" a sharp sound——

"Brother!" The emperor shouted hissingly, but he couldn't stop the sharp arrow that shot at Lu Jinan's back heart!

There was a muffled "ding"!

Lu Jinan shot down two arrows, but the expected pain in his back did not appear. Turning around, he found that the hidden arrow that could not be avoided had fallen to the ground and was broken in half.

"Who is it!" Yu Wang didn't see how the arrow that was supposed to pierce the elder brother's back was shot down, and an ominous premonition made him turn around and grab the emperor, in order to blackmail the unknown visitor.

When he turned his head again, he found a soldier in armor standing in front of him, with his back turned to Lu Jin'an.

When Lu Jinan saw the person who suddenly appeared on the opposite side, his eyes gradually widened with surprise.

The guards of the imperial guards around were startled by the sudden appearance, and they were about to raise their knives to step forward, but were stopped by King Yu.

Because the third child had recognized the familiar armor in front of him as belonging to his uncle's Tong family army, he was overjoyed, and quickly stepped forward and asked, "Have all the trash outside the city been wiped out?"

"The waste outside the city? Aren't the waste standing on the city gate?" The slender figure wearing Tong's army armor turned around slowly, and the third child was gradually astonished and distorted reflected in a pair of bewitching shallow pupils protruding from the inside. s face.

"You... You barbarian bastard is still alive?!" After a year, King Yu could hardly recognize the boy who was half a head taller than him in front of him. It turned out to be his seventh younger brother Lu Qian who had been missing for more than a year!

The strange and dangerous aura made King Yu tremble. He took two steps back, trying to grab the emperor, but Lu Qian raised his finger.

His ankle seemed to be hit by a stone in an instant, and he was unsteady, kneeling in front of Lu Qian on one knee.

"Escort!" Yu Wang stretched out his hand to grab the trouser legs of the imperial guards beside him. An inexplicable sense of trembling made him wish to grab everything he could to block the approaching people.

He seemed to have forgotten that the thousands of imperial troops present were under his control, and kept shouting: "Go! Go to Dongzhimen and summon General Tong to escort you!"

Lu Qian, who was blocked a few steps away, said softly: "General Tong can't come, the third brother didn't recognize this armor?"

King Yu was startled, and only now did he realize why this armor looked so familiar, allowing him to recognize it at a glance.

This is clearly his uncle Tong Ningzhao's armor!

"Impossible! [-] mobs, why fight my uncle!"

Lu Qian tilted his head, and asked with a puzzled look: "What about the princes of the five lands? The third brother reused Mr. Ma, which disappointed the uncles."

King Yu's face turned pale in an instant!

A few months ago, Ma Qiuming, a defected princeling, reported to King Yu that Prince Rui conspired to cooperate with the vassals.

Therefore, King Yu reduced the power of the vassals in the name of the emperor, and put the blame on Lu Jin'an, falsely claiming that the emperor was ordered by Prince Rui to decide to cut down the vassals.

Now that Lu Qian's words woke him up, then Ma Qiuming was pretending to turn against him!Cooperate with this little bastard who is hiding outside, and make all the spearheads of the prince point at him!

"Impossible... Come... Come... Take me down!" King Yu struggled to stand up, and roared, "Take down the traitor for me!"

Just as the imperial guards were about to step forward, horns sounded from all directions, and countless hooves of hooves sounded——

"The side of the Qing emperor! Yasukuni thief!"

"The side of the Qing emperor! Yasukuni thief!"

……

The shouts of the soldiers came closer and closer.

King Yu looked around in shock, the crowd of people surrounded the altar from all directions!

"He's a national thief..." King Yu stood up, pointing at King Ning Lu Qian like crazy, and roared, "He's a national thief! He's a national thief!"

"With meagerness, I have inherited the ancestor Piye for 27 years, and I have been wearing clothes and food, trying to achieve perfection..."

Lu Qian's expression became calm, he stared at King Yu, and recited the late emperor's last edict verbatim—

"The eldest son is heroic and virtuous, obeys the precepts of the ancestors, and obeys the people's sentiments. He should be the emperor, but because there is no news of his rescue, he will temporarily change the virtuous prince, King Ning, as the heir. The civil and military officials will help him..."

Lu Qian squinted his eyes, and read the last few words one by one: "Together protect the clan's ten thousand years of career!"

Hearing the late emperor's last edict, the eyes of the imperial guards around them turned red instantly.

"The side of the Qing emperor! Yasukuni thief!"

I don't know who shouted this slogan in the forbidden army, and then all the knife points turned in the same direction——

All point to the third prince Yu Wang!

The author has something to say:

Seven cubs are back!Yaoyao has a hot steamed bun for hand warmers!

Some readers asked why the battle between the prince and the three princes in the previous chapter was directly fast-forwarded.

① To write out the battles of this year in detail, many brand-new official roles have to appear. If you don’t write in detail, it will be like playing a house. It will take at least a dozen chapters to show the situation in a more complete way.

②In this plot, the protagonist team does not have the upper hand at all, and the chapters and chapters of the process cannot be slapped in the face. There are no ups and downs, and it will look very depressed.

③There are too few parts that Yaoyao can participate in in this plot. It is inappropriate to write more than ten chapters of the court struggle that the protagonist can't get involved in at all, so I just write a fragment related to the protagonist's grandfather, and let the little fat cub When you come back, you can get up quickly.
