Chapter 637: Your Majesty, its time to drink medicine
"Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine."
Wang Quan, with a sincere smile, sat next to the emperor Liu Qi with a cup of soup, and comforted him with gentle words, "After taking the medicine, all worries will disappear."
Liu Qi, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, sneered and responded, "Bitch!"
Cheng Bushi's betrayal and Li Guang's arrest had a huge impact, which led to the lack of defense in the palace.
By the time the Weiyang Palace Guards realized something was wrong and finally began to resist, they had already lost the most critical geographical advantage.
Without the protection of the palace wall, a direct face-to-face fight, especially when a large number of Weiyang palace guards were transferred elsewhere because Wang Quan and others used Li Guang's military orders, failure was inevitable.
Liu Qi wanted to escape, but he was seriously ill and couldn't walk. He was finally carried out of the palace, but the rebels had already arrived.
After being captured, Liu Qi was sent back to the bed, silently watching the edicts being written and sealed one after another, and then sent out.
The initial edict was to order the Southern Army units in the city and the numerous city garrison troops to stop resisting and to submit to Cheng Bushi's command.
The following edict is an edict appointing King Jiaodong as the crown prince and inheriting the throne.
Then the imperial edict was issued to all the civil and military officials, nobles and relatives of the emperor to welcome the new king.
The final edict was to take back Li Yunze's position as general and order him to return to the feudal country.
Listening to the sound of seals being stamped one after another, Liu Qi gradually turned from furious at first to calm.
He knew that things had reached this level, so he would not be able to survive today and could only die.
After all, he is the emperor, and he must maintain his dignity even if he dies.
Wang Ao was not angry at all. She put the soup aside with a smile and said softly, "I have always been sincere to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty has disappointed me so much."
Liu Qi closed his eyes and said nothing, too lazy to pay attention to this vicious woman.
"I serve you with all my heart, and my son is smart, pure and filial." Wang Nuan's eyes kept changing. "Why does your majesty treat our mother and son like this?"
Liu Qi spoke, "Do you know that if you do this, it will harm Shi'er?"
"Xu'er will become the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. This is his destiny as a prince." Wang Quan said bitterly, "I am helping him achieve his destiny, so how can I harm him."
"Liu Sheng is leading his troops outside. Once he learns about Chang'an, he will definitely lead his troops back."
Liu Qi opened his eyes and looked sideways at Wang Quan, his eyes full of teasing, "When Liu Sheng comes back, you regicides will surely die without a burial place!"
Wang Quan's hand trembled involuntarily.
She had naturally thought about such things, but just thinking about it made her scalp tingle.
You must know that the most elite Northern Army of the Han Dynasty, as well as the Great Wall Army, are now in the hands of Li Yunze.
If the army really returns south, who can stop it?
However, Wang Quan quickly adjusted his mood and responded with a smile, "Your Majesty is wrong. It was not us who killed the king, but King Liang."
"Huh?" Liu Qi frowned slightly, "He also participated?"
"That's right."
Wang Quan covered his mouth and chuckled, "He still has a sweet dream of being the emperor's younger brother and taking your place. What a fool."
Liu Qi sighed quietly, "He is indeed a fool. He was used as a scapegoat by you without realizing it. When he comes to the front of his ancestors, he still has to defend him."
He knew very clearly that Liu Wu, who was being used as a scapegoat, must be dead.
"so what?"
On the contrary, Liu Qi let go, "Do you think you can deceive Liu Sheng with such tricks? He is a man who can defeat even the Xiongnu Chanyu. It is not easy to destroy you and other evil monsters."
"Liu Sheng! Liu Sheng!! Liu Sheng!!!"
Wang Quan suddenly exploded here, stood up suddenly and screamed, "Why do you only know how to look at Liu Sheng and not look at the pigeon? The pigeon is not as good as Liu Sheng, why can't the pigeon sit on the throne!"
Looking at the furious Wang Quan, Liu Qi suddenly smiled, "There is nothing we can do about it. Liu Shengru unsheathes his sword and is invincible in the world. If he were a general, it would be easy to say, but he is a prince. If he does not get the throne, there will be brothers who will fight against each other."
Shi. Piggy. Young."
Liu She was young, but Liu Sheng was brilliant.
If Liu Zhi is established, he will not be able to control it, and the result will definitely be another Rebellion of the Seven Kings.
For Liu Qi, this is the most intolerable thing.
Moreover, Liu She was still a child when Liu Sheng had already shown enough talent.
It's not that Liu Qi didn't want to give Liu She a chance, but that he had no choice.
He has to seek stability!
Wang Quan's chest was heaving up and down, obviously he was very angry.
She gritted her teeth and hummed, "You all look down on Shi'er, then you can all die!"
Turning to look at the retainer who was writing an imperial edict not far away, Wang Quan shouted, "Write an edict immediately, saying that the emperor has given Liu Sheng death! Send it to Taiyuan County as soon as possible!"
The doorman's hands shook, and he subconsciously wanted to say a few words of persuasion.
After all, this direct approach of dagger contact is too impulsive, and the consequences will be very serious.
If Liu Sheng doesn't obey at all, war will begin immediately.
As discussed before, it is most appropriate to first remove his military power and drive him back to the feudal state. After Liu She's throne is stabilized, he will be slowly suppressed and finally destroyed.
But when the retainer saw Wang Quan's slightly distorted and ferocious face, he didn't dare to say anything.
When the retainer sat down at his desk and hurriedly wrote the edict, Wang Quan turned around and looked at Liu Qi with a hint of interest.
Jealousy makes people crazy, making Wang Quan's eyes blurred and unable to see clearly the situation at this time.
'Idiot~~~Liu Sheng is not Fusu!'
Liu Qi originally wanted to say, 'Liu Sheng is decisive in killing, and he is definitely not a fool like Fusu who can kill him with just a fake edict.'
But then I think about it, why should I remind you?
If the road is directly cut off, then Liu Sheng will definitely go south to Chang'an immediately.
When the time comes, these rebellious traitors will surely die without a burial place!
Liu Qi looked at Wang Quan with a meaningful look, "I'm waiting for you below!"
He had great confidence in Liu Sheng, not only because of his personal ability, but more importantly, at this time most of the Han's troops, especially the elite troops, were in the hands of Prince Sheng.
The main force of the Northern Army and the Great Wall Army who were taken away by him all obeyed him.
With the great prestige of Nuo who had just defeated the Xiongnu Chanyu, nothing could be solved with just an edict.
Even if Prince Sheng is stupid enough to want to imitate Fusu, the staff and generals around him who are familiar with history books will never allow him to do so.
Because those people knew very clearly that if Liu Sheng really became Fusu, then the end of them would definitely be even more miserable than Meng Tian's.
The living examples are there and no one will make the same mistakes again.
Wang Quan, this lunatic, simply doesn’t know what to say.
The edict was quickly finished, and Wang Quan stepped forward, picked up the jade seal, and covered it heavily.
She enjoyed the refreshing feeling when putting on the jade seal very much. It was an intoxicating happiness.
Within a small area, the affairs of the world can be decided, and the people of the world can be decided!
This is the charm of power, and it is also the reason why Wang Quan did not hesitate to put his entire family as a bet and risk his life.
If she becomes the Queen Mother, she will have the power of the former Queen Mother Dou.
The edict was quickly sent out, and Wang Quan's eyes followed the edict until it disappeared outside the palace door.
It was as if I saw a sharp blade flying out to Taiyuan County and cutting off Li Yunze's head!
After a while, Wang Quan finally calmed down his agitated mind and turned to look at the emperor lying on the bed.
It was time to send the emperor off. After all, many officials who had received the news had already begun to prepare for mourning.
Just when he was about to speak, there was a noise outside the palace, and soon Liu Wu barged in.
Liu Wu's face was not very good-looking. He asked Wang Quan with a dark face, "I heard that I want to help Liu She ascend to the throne and inherit the throne? This is different from what we agreed before!"
Wang Quan smiled and was about to say something when Liu Qi, who was lying on the bed, suddenly burst into laughter.
"My good brother, you are really stupid."
Liu Wu looked very ugly when he said this, but he held back and did not speak.
"Don't you understand? They are just using you. You are their stepping stone to support Xi'er to rise to power. Just throw it away after using it. Oh, it's not like throwing it away. You can also be charged with murdering the king!"
After all, Liu Wu was not that stupid. After hearing Liu Qi's words and thinking about what Wang Quan and the others had done, his expression finally changed drastically.
He pointed angrily at Wang Quan, "You guys."
'puff!'
A sharp blade penetrated Liu Wu from behind, directly piercing his chest.
Liu Wu turned his head with difficulty and saw Cheng Bushi with a ferocious expression.
Cheng Bushi suddenly drew out his sharp blade and shouted loudly, "Liang Wang Liu Wu, who plots against the emperor and assassinates the emperor, shall be punished!"
After that, Cheng Bushi brandished his sharp blade and led his troops to kill Liu Wu's men.
Seeing his younger brother lying in a pool of blood, Liu Qi's eyes were full of sorrow.
This brother of mine has been fighting for his whole life, but he never imagined that he would end up like this. It is really sad and lamentable.
Wang Quan lowered his head and looked coldly at Liu Wu, who was still staring at death, and spat lightly.
She turned around and walked to the bed, picked up the soup bowl on the side, and asked Emperor Liu Qi softly, "Your Majesty, it's time to drink medicine."
That night, Chang'an City was full of fire, and the sounds of fighting resounded throughout the city.
Countless people were shivering, and countless people were guarding their homes with knives and armors, anxiously waiting for dawn.
After dawn, the thunderous news spread throughout Chang'an City.
The king of Liang, Liu Wu, rebelled and rebelled, the emperor died, and the queen mother died!
Before the emperor's death, he passed the imperial edict and appointed King Liu She of Jiaodong as the crown prince to inherit the throne.
One after another, one after another, everything is like thunder rolling from the sky.
Smart people can naturally detect the different atmosphere inside, but most people pretend not to know anything and are unwilling to participate.
Because under such a big tide, if you rush in rashly, you will basically not be able to leave a whole body behind.
Zhou Yafu commanded hundreds of officials and arranged various procedures.
Cheng Bushi, however, was appointed as a general of chariots and cavalry to reorganize the troops inside and outside Chang'an City.
He reorganized all the city's garrison into the Northern Army, and sent his trusted soldiers brought from Dingxiang County to take over the military power.
Then he gathered all the troops of the Southern Army and reorganized them in the name of the emperor. He also deployed the troops brought by Dingxiang County in an attempt to control the military power in his own hands.
Suddenly, the situation in Chang'an City was turbulent and unpredictable.
It seems that everyone has forgotten that Prince Sheng is still in Taiyuan County at this time.
Taiyuan County, in the palace of the original king.
After receiving the urgent notice, the staff, generals and lieutenants rushed over in a hurry.
Everyone was whispering to each other, wondering why the king summoned everyone so eagerly. Could it be that the Huns are coming again?
After waiting for a while, Li Yunze appeared in front of everyone.
He didn't say much, but introduced Ju Meng who was following him.
"The Prime Minister ordered Ju Meng to bring a piece of news." Li Yunze motioned to Ju Meng, "Speak."
"Here."
Ju Meng first saluted Li Yunze, then looked around at the people around him, took a deep breath and said.
