The Donghua Palace was extremely noisy, and the sound of footsteps walking back and forth through the corridors throughout the night never stopped for a moment.
Xiaolu, who insisted on staying on the floor in Xuanhuang's room, rubbed her eyes and got up three times, and kept asking her in a daze, "What happened to Xuanhuang? Why is there such a commotion outside?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Xuanhuang raised his hand and touched his shaggy head, "Go to sleep, just ignore it."
"Oh." Little Green fell down and fell asleep again.
Xuanhuang couldn't sleep, silently counting the drumbeats of the third and fourth watch. She stood up and observed, only to see a red-hot torch snaking all the way past her window.
There was a sound of swords clashing in the distance, and shouts and roars came one after another.
It was not until dawn that the movement stopped for a moment. Xuanhuang squinted in confusion for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes, lifted the brocade quilt and sat up.
"It was so noisy yesterday, what were those people doing?" During breakfast, Xiao Lu couldn't help complaining, "I didn't sleep well all night, I just heard a group of people running around there, what were they busy with?
."
Xuanhuang just smiled.
A clever maid next to Xiao Lu interjected, "A big event happened yesterday. Someone sneaked into the palace to assassinate the king."
Xiao Lu's eyes widened, "Assassinate the king?"
"It is rumored that the king was stabbed several times. I wonder if he can be saved."
"Wow, it turns out that being a king is so unreliable. You can be assassinated anytime and anywhere." Xiao Lu muttered, stuffing a piece of cake into his mouth, chewing and shaking his head, "I think the king usually eats and drinks to offend you.
How come he was suddenly assassinated when there was no one around?"
The little maid shook her head.
Xuanhuang didn't ask any more questions and just meditated in the room after dinner.
It was not until noon that news came that He Lian Zhang had been assassinated and died. The assassin was among the dancers and assassinated the king during the dance performance.
This news is expected and reasonable.
As for why the dancing queen assassinated the king, there were many rumors in various versions. Xuanhuang listened to it and just laughed it off.
In the evening, I heard that the Fifth Highness of Donghua, He Lianjing, led a group of court officials and knelt outside Chu Linfeng's palace, holding the national seal and the Zen edict.
After Xuanhuang heard the news, he dragged Xiaolu to watch the fun.
Sure enough, from a distance, we saw hundreds of people kneeling silently outside Chu Linfeng's Heshun Palace, with their heads resting on the backs of their hands and their bodies lying on the ground. Their expressions from top to bottom were indescribably respectful and solemn.
This He Lianjing seems to be honest, but in fact he is much smarter than his two brothers.
By giving in, he not only gained a good reputation, but also saved himself a small life.
After Chu Linfeng ascended the throne, in order to show his virtue, he would not kill him, but would treat him well.
"What is Chu Linfeng doing? There are so many people outside his door, why doesn't he come out?"
"Acting." Xuanhuang glanced at his lips lightly, "In acting, the protagonist will appear when all the emotions of the supporting characters are brought to a climax. It's still early now, at least another hour or two will pass."
"Ah..." Xiao Lu pointed at the courtiers kneeling together, "Just let them kneel like this?"
"It's none of our business." Xuanhuang said to Xiao Lu, "Let's go back to have dinner and rest for a while, and come back in two hours to watch the fun."
Xuanhuang didn't sleep well all night. After eating and taking a bath, he squinted for a while. Seeing that the night was getting darker, he took Xiaolu to Heshun Palace to watch the excitement.
The place in front of Heshun Palace is brightly lit.
Chu Linfeng's palace door was still closed, and many elderly ministers fainted and were carried away.
Many people began to howl and scream, and the screams were nothing more than asking the regent to come out quickly for the sake of the country, the country, and the common people.
It was noisy until midnight.
Chu Linfeng just opened the palace door.
From a distance, I saw him dressed in black clothes and walking slowly out. His temperament was indeed not comparable to that of ordinary people.
As soon as Chu Linfeng walked out of the door, he quickly walked over to help He Lianjing, who was kneeling in the front, and kept saying it was necessary.
He Lianjing held up the imperial seal and the imperial edict, and kowtowed three times, followed by the voices of loyal ministers requesting the regent to come to Dabao.
Chu Linfeng stood stiffly in front of He Lianjing.
At this moment, it can be said that he has brought all his acting skills to the fullest.
The tightly pursed lips, the frowning corners of the brows, and the solemn and silent expression on his face fell into the eyes of everyone, making him feel anxious in his heart.
He repeatedly requested to kowtow, and there was a loud "dong-dong-dong" sound from top to bottom.
He Lianjing has always said that I am not a talented person to govern the country, and this great country can only be carried forward in your hands as the regent, so that we will not disgrace the expectations of our ancestors.
No matter what, if you say something righteous and awe-inspiring, you are actually afraid of death and have to give up your position.
Under the pleading of everyone, Chu Linfeng thought again and again, and then nodded solemnly.
There were tears and excited voices shouting "Long live the sea" underneath.
He Lianjing's hands kept shaking as he held the imperial seal and edict, and handed the symbol of the throne to Chu Linfeng. He couldn't tell whether the tears in his eyes were of regret or joy.
The regret is naturally because he lost the throne of the king, and he regretted being sorry for Helian Jiangshan. Helian Jiangshan was given away in his hands. He will be a sinner of the Helian family until his death.
However, I am happy because I have saved a small life and will not have to follow the footsteps of my eldest and second brothers.
The corner of Xuanhuang's mouth curled up, he stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and yawned. He lazily rolled up his sleeves and turned around to leave, "Come back, Xiaolu, there's nothing good to see anymore."
It is a foregone conclusion that Donghua will be handed over to the Chu family. This Donghua is so docile.
There was no large-scale armed struggle, and there was no trace of turmoil or injustice. There was an enthusiastic response from the whole country. Everyone felt that the regent Wen Tao was planning military strategies and planning for the palace people. He was a true emperor with both talent, virtue and wisdom.
, it is time for him to sit on the throne of the king and lead the people of the country, and they will surely live a good life in the future.
It can only be said that Chu Linfeng's scheming is really deep and terrifying. Since He Lianjing's Zen edict, it cannot be said that he is usurping Helian's country. He is just and obedient and is sought after by thousands of people. He has no choice but to take over the country.
Yes, he was really pretending to be aggrieved. He obviously got a big deal, but he still behaved well.
Xuanhuang returned to the house and fell asleep.
On the second day, as soon as I got up, I heard some noises coming from the garden.
A palace maid pushed open the door and said to her respectfully, "Girl, the king sent Grandma Li to teach the girl. She came yesterday, but the girl has not been here, so today..."
