After receiving a message from two Blood Dragon Temples sent by Emperor Qianwen Tang Qingshan that the palace was in danger, Lu Zhi came with his cavalry from the station outside the city. It can be said that there was no delay. But he was still late. When he saw When the ground was filled with the corpses of the Golden Armored Guards and the Blood Dragon Temple, and when they finally saw the body of Tang Qingshan kneeling there without his arms, but no one dared to move it, the Protector of the Country Lu Zhi knelt down on the ground with a plop. "Your Majesty, I'm late, I'm late."
After crying for a while, Lu Zhi turned around and asked Mo Chengyu and Kong Fu who were present: "What on earth is going on? The palace is heavily guarded, including the Golden Armored Guards and the Blood Dragon Temple. Who can hurt you?" Is it okay, Your Majesty?"
Faced with this problem, Kong Fu and Mo Chengyu had already reached a consensus. At this moment, the two of them explained without panic, "It was Tang Ao, the Emperor of Great China, who spent a lot of money to buy out the Blood Dragon Temple, and there was a fight. During the incident in the palace, the Jinjiawei were unprepared and suffered heavy losses, but in the end they still failed to stop the Blood Dragon Brave who had planned it for a long time, and that's how they killed Your Majesty."
Blaming Tang Ao for Tang Qingshan's death was the result of Tang Sheng's discussion with Kong Fu.
First, this can bring some trouble to Tang Ao. After all, killing his biological father is the greatest unfilial piety in the world, and everyone must punish him. This will greatly curb the development and expansion of Great China. the benefits of.
Secondly, the main purpose of Daqian and the Xiongnu army next is to go north, and they will inevitably meet the swords and soldiers of Dahua. There always needs a reason.
The reason for using Tang Qingshan's death to attack the other party is absolutely fair and honest.
How could Lu Zhi know this? When he heard this, he couldn't believe it at first, and then saw Kong Fu and Mo Chengyu speaking so confidently. In addition, there were corpses of both Golden Armored Guards and Blood Dragon Temple at the scene. It can be seen that there was indeed a big war between the two sides. The evidence is right in front of him. What else can he say?
More importantly, Tang Qingshan is really dead. This means that things will change in Daqian soon, and everyone knows who will succeed the throne.
Although Lu Zhi said he was loyal to Tang Qingshan, he is already dead. What he needs to consider now is how to keep himself and his family safe. As a close minister of King Shun Tang Jia, Kong Fu is here. If he now If you raise any questions, it means that he will offend the other party.
Lu Zhi, if he had any brains, would not do such a thankless thing and might be hated by others. So he just sighed and accepted this statement.
Lu Zhi stopped saying anything, and Kong Fu was overjoyed. In order to prevent the other party from suddenly changing his attitude, he said to the two of them, "Your Majesty has passed away. We must report such a major event to His Highness Prince Shun immediately. How about we go together."
Notifying the new emperor that he was ready to take over the throne was the result of Conglong's work. Mo Chengyu and Lu Zhi looked at each other and would not refuse. And they knew very well that from now on, they would naturally become Tang Jia's chariot. For people who get on the bus, it is impossible to get out again.
Next, Kong Fu and the other three, along with the Golden Armored Guards and the Daqian Cavalry, rushed towards Prince Shun's Mansion. At the same time, countless surviving eunuchs were also released from the palace, and they were responsible for informing the ministers that Tang Qingshan was killed by Tang Ao and Blood Dragon Cha. Things that resulted in joint deaths.
In short, in one sentence, the matter has been determined first. As long as everyone agrees with this decision, then it will become a definite fact, and it will be very difficult for others to reverse the verdict.
When the news came out, they inevitably came to the inn, and Hou Dexing naturally found out about it while he was here.
Looking at the messenger eunuch in front of him, he said that it was Emperor Tang Ao of Great China who bribed the Blood Dragon Temple with a lot of money to commit patricide. Hou Dexing stood there dumbfounded.
Didn't it mean that the independent family member Wei Qian'er wanted Tang Qingshan's life?
He also told himself to wait for notification, so why did he end up like this now?
Will Tang Ao kill Tang Qingshan? Isn't this child's play? Who doesn't know that the current Emperor of Dahua only wants to drive away the aliens who entered the Southland? He doesn't want to go to war with the Daqian Army at all?
If they really wanted to start a war, why would they have given up Daliang City in the first place?
There were too many questions that could not be explained. But Hou Dexing no longer thought about it. He only knew that the current situation was beneficial to him. At that moment, he chuckled and said to Zhuang Cheng beside him: "Go and prepare wine and tea, sir. I want to have a good drink, hahaha."
"No." Zhuang Cheng agreed and then turned around and went to do it. However, when he came to a deserted corner of the inn, someone was already waiting for him. "What's going on? I heard that something happened in the palace. A huge change?”
The person who came was none other than Long Ya's team members. With Long Ya's penetration, it was natural that he had already arranged manpower in the palace. For example, some young eunuchs and palace maids were bribed by Long Ya and Anxiang respectively. But it happened suddenly. The Jinjiawei sealed the imperial city again and did not allow anyone to leave, so that even if they knew what had happened, they could not convey the news.
This made Longya blind for a while. Seeing that Zhuang Cheng had received the news, he naturally wanted to ask clearly.
"Something big happened." Zhuang Cheng quickly repeated what the little eunuch who had just delivered the news said again.
"What? This is impossible, we are in the city, and His Majesty has not sent us any news, so who will rush into the palace?" The Dragon Ya team members who came obviously did not believe this statement.
"That's right, I don't believe it either, but I can't help but someone is willing to say this. This matter is very serious, so I'd better report it to No. 2 immediately. Also, contact our spies in the palace as soon as possible to clarify the matter and find a solution. Turn the situation around." How could Zhuang Cheng believe such a statement, but if there is not enough evidence to prove His Majesty's innocence, I am afraid it will be really difficult to clean up the mess this time.
"Okay, you continue to stare here and observe Hou Deju's every move, and I will go to No. 2 to explain the situation." Long Ya nodded repeatedly, and then the whole person disappeared into the darkness. Zhuang Cheng sighed, I quickly went to make arrangements for meals.
The doubts not only occurred at the inn, but also most of the other ministers who received the news did not believe it.
For example, Ming Mansion, Rui Mansion, Cheng Mansion, etc., they firmly do not believe this statement.
Although they knew that the relationship between Tang Ao and Tang Qingshan was not very friendly. In fact, any royal person would not have a good relationship with Tang Qingshan. He was simply a selfish person. In his eyes, there was no family affection. The only thing is whether you can be used. Facing such a father, who can really give much emotion?
But the problem now is that since there is such a statement, it means that someone wants to see this result and wants to use the death of Tang Qingshan to cause trouble for Tang Ao. And who is this person? Use your big toe to think about it. You can all guess it.
Someone with ulterior motives is about to become emperor, and anyone who jumps out to question this time is likely to be hated. Unless they have enough evidence to prove that the murderer is not Tang Ao, and can find out the real murderer, or even arrest him. To the real murderer.
But now, these people who are pro-Tang Ao have no real power for a long time. They are simply unable to do such a big thing, so after hearing the news, they can only sigh and wait and see what happens.
These people have more than enough ambition but not enough power, but some people have such ability, that is Longya No. 2 Xu Hun who is in Daliang City.
As Tang Ao's brother-in-law and the first person to join Longya, Xu Qing has already been trained and has some abilities. This time Tang Ao sent him to Daliang City to prevent the Daqianhui and the Huns from leaving. Come together and let him prevent this while waiting for opportunities to destroy it.
They originally thought that with Zhuang Cheng keeping an eye on Hou Dexing, they would be able to get the news earlier, but they never expected that Wei Qian'er was so cunning that such a big event would bypass Hou Dexing, so that they didn't hear the slightest bit of news before. , fell into passivity.
As soon as there was any movement in the palace, Xu Hun in the city knew about it. But before he understood the situation, he did not act rashly. Instead, he sent a few birds to stare at the Daqian Palace, which also made him know earlier. I heard something, although it is not specific, but the news was received very early.
Some cavalry broke into the palace and started killing people there. This was the news sent back by the birds.
But birds are birds and cannot make judgments like humans, so the news sent back is not very accurate. When it reaches Xu Hun's ears, he has to rely on his own judgment.
His intuition told him that those who came were probably Hun cavalry, and they were about to take action, but the purpose was impossible to guess. And could the cavalry kill Tang Qingshan after entering the palace? Xu Hun also had some doubts about this. .
That is the emperor of a country! How can he be so easy to kill?
Uncertain in his heart, Xu Hun did a lot of work, such as sending people to watch at the city gate to see which gate was wide open and the Hun cavalry entered the city. And if he expected it to be true, these Hun cavalry would They would not wait in the palace for long, they had to leave, which gave them more time and opportunity to stare at each other.
In addition, a lot of Longya team members were dispatched, asking them to find ways to get close to the palace, contact the spies who had been placed among the eunuchs, and find out what was going on in the palace as soon as possible.
It was precisely with these preparations in advance that Xu Hun made a great contribution and prevented Tang Ao from being infamous behind the world's back.
Before the news about Zhuang Cheng reached Xu Hun, the Longya team members sent out contacted the eunuchs in the palace. Coincidentally, one of the eunuchs sent out to deliver the news about Tang Qingshan's death was Long. As soon as they left the palace, they found the Long Ya team members hidden outside the palace, and then made a detailed report on what happened in the palace, including some of the statements made by Kong Fu and Mo Chengyu to the outside world.
