"Queen, if you are sensible and interesting, then this king will protect your past honor and keep you safe and sound for the rest of your life, but if you don't know good and bad, then your end will be just like it..."

King Liang threw out the tea bowl in his hand and hit it on the pillar of the big red beam. With a sound of "thump!", the precious porcelain bowl shattered into slag.

The queen hastily covered half of her face with her sleeves, her brows were bristling, and she said sharply: "What is the meaning of King Liang, the Emperor Daxing's body is not yet cold, and you are so rampant, are you really bullying our orphans and widows?"

Although the queen's words sounded miserable, she was actually not pitiful. She straightened her back, held her neck high, and showed no fear on her face. .

When King Liang saw the Queen's appearance, he couldn't stop laughing in his heart. The Queen and the noble concubine could fool the minister, but could they fool him?

He turned around and looked at the ministers below, and said awe-inspiringly: "Ministers don't know yet, the empress and concubine are lying, the prince was not in the palace at all, and left the capital early."

what!

"Is His Royal Highness Liang's words true?"

King Liang raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, "What did I lie to you for?"

"Your Majesty, where is His Highness the Crown Prince, and when will he be able to return to the palace to preside over the overall situation?" The officials asked forcefully.

The queen looked at the crowd coldly, annoyed in her heart that this group of people had such an unsteady stand, and was incited to change their minds by King Liang's two words.

"His Royal Highness is on his way back to the palace."

"Your Majesty, the National Temple is just twenty miles away from the capital, and Emperor Daxing went there at midnight last night. Even if His Royal Highness received the news and rushed back to the palace at Chenshi, he should have arrived by now. It is already noon, but it is still too late. I haven't seen anyone for a long time, why is this?

Dare I ask you, did His Royal Highness really go to the National Temple to pray for blessings? "

The oldest minister stared at the queen and concubine with burning eyes, and retorted with reason.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers below followed suit and said: "Your servants are stupid, please help me understand."

Seeing that the ministers began to doubt the intentions of the empress and noble concubine, King Liang added another firewood, "When did the ministers come to Ganquan Palace? Can any minister see the emperor's brother for the last time and know why he passed away suddenly?"

This... The ministers looked at each other in blank dismay.

From the time when Emperor Daxing got sick and went to the last night fairy, after careful calculation, they hadn't seen Shengyan for more than 20 days.As for why, it's not all about blaming the queen.The empress ordered the palace to be under martial law. Without her edict, no one could enter the palace. Even if they wanted to report political affairs, they had to be delivered by the empress.

Wait, Queen!Unknowingly, has the empress already started to manage the government and control the palace?

The death of Emperor Daxing may be inseparable from the empress, how...how could she?

But the queen is already under one person and above ten thousand people. What is her purpose for doing this?

All the ministers looked at each other, blinked their eyelashes, and exchanged their guesses silently.

Is the queen going to learn from Wu Zetian?

All the ministers thought of the history of Wu Zetian strangling his own daughter to frame the Queen, and felt chills in their hearts, and they felt that the Emperor Daxing was killed by the Queen.

Seeing that the thoughts of the ministers had been deliberately guided by him, King Liang made it clear, "Empress, are you trying to imitate Empress Gaozong of Tang Dynasty and proclaim herself emperor and change dynasties?"

The queen pursed her lips and said nothing, neither agreeing nor objecting.

She did have this thought.

The minister who was kneeling at the bottom was not calm anymore, he got up immediately, and accused: "Empress, how can you have such an idea? What a virtuous and virtuous you are, how can you learn from that poisonous woman Wu Zetian? Woman If you are involved in politics, that is the rooster sitting in the morning.

The veteran cannot let you ruin your future, and you will never let Daqi be ruined in your hands.

Minister, swear to defend Daqi to the death! "

The ministers behind him also echoed, "I will defend Daqi to the death, defend Daqi to the death."

The empress looked at these pretentious ministers and sneered in her heart. The high-sounding words these people said did not mean that they were loyal to Da Qi, and they clearly did not want to see her as a woman proclaiming the emperor trample on their dignity.How could this group of men tolerate her as a woman stepping on their heads and giving pointers to the government?

But they are destined to accept the rule of women.

The queen took out the imperial decree that had been prepared and threw it to an official in front of her, "This is the imperial edict handed over to me by Emperor Daxing himself. Please read it to all the ministers."

The minister picked up the imperial decree and read it clearly.

"Are there still people who suspect that Ben Gong has bad intentions?"

The ministers were silent, but they all turned their attention to King Liang.

As written in the posthumous edict, the crown prince Tang Yi succeeded to the throne, Concubine Chen Guifei became the Empress Dowager Mother, and the Empress was promoted to Empress Dowager Mother and assisted the new emperor in assisting the government. Wouldn't they still be under the control of this foreign woman?

The ministers were naturally unwilling to accept it.

King Liang smiled slightly, and comforted everyone, saying: "Ministers, don't believe what the queen said, the edict in her hand is fake, and the real edict is here with me."

Liang Wang also took out a will and read it out in public.

It was also the edict of Emperor Daxing, but the content inside was completely different. The edict given by King Liang was to order King Liang to succeed to the throne, while the crown prince was enfeoffed as King of Beiliang, and the two empresses were to be buried with them.

This, the ministers are not very acceptable.It is easy to say that Liang Wang succeeded to the throne. After all, Liang Wang was in his prime when he was in his prime, while the crown prince was still in a trance and was in a trance. Compared with Liang Wang, the two were a good choice.But burial is unacceptable. There has never been a precedent for concubines to be buried with them in the Qi Dynasty. It is because it is too cruel for concubines to be buried with them.

"It's nonsense. The Emperor Daxing has always been benevolent. How could he let the empress be buried with me? The emperor Daxing only has one will, and that is the one in the empress's hands. The one of King Liang must be fake." The key point Concubine Shi Shi stood up and retorted.

The ministers nodded. The concubine's words were somewhat convincing. After all, what she said was the truth. Emperor Daxing loved the concubine and treated the queen with courtesy. How could he suddenly ask them to be buried with her?This is very unreasonable.

After hearing this, King Liang didn't feel nervous at all. His demeanor was very calm, as if he was sure to win this game, "Is the edict in my king's hand a fake? Mr. Tang Ge, you are the teacher of the emperor's brother. You have taught him for many years. , you are very familiar with his handwriting, can you see if the handwriting on it is true or not?"

Mr. Tange was the most emotional minister with a gray beard. He put the two edicts together and compared them carefully, but his brows were furrowed.

Liang Wang only thought that Tang Ge always found out that the queen had forged the edict, but he dared not speak up, so he encouraged him: "Tang Ge, what's the matter? If there is anything wrong, just tell me, I have my king to support you, don't be afraid."

Tang Ge took a long look at him, his eyes were dim and unclear, "My lord, the handwriting on the two edicts is the same, and the old minister can't tell which is true and which is false."

"What? How is it possible?" Liang Wang grabbed the two edicts and compared them carefully, but he couldn't find any flaws. He was furious, "How could this be? Hers must be fake. I saw her with my own eyes Come in with the imperial decree and force the emperor to use the seal. Hers is fake!"

Concubine Chen Guifei's eyes lit up, she seized the loophole in King Liang's words and quickly counterattacked, "His Royal Highness Liang Wang, what are you talking about, when did you see the Queen Empress forcing Emperor Daxing to use the seal?

Could it be that you watched the Emperor Daxing die?Then why did you lure the ministers to make them think that Emperor Daxing was killed by the empress?

Secondly, even if the empress is the real culprit who killed Emperor Daxing, why didn't you stop it when you saw it?Or do you want to be the fisherman who sits and watches the fight between snipe and clam?

My lord, you are so contradictory and confounding black and white, I have no choice but to make this palace suspect your good intentions? "

well said!Full marks!The queen gave the imperial concubine a satisfied look.

Restraint, restraint!The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades need to work hard!The noble concubine didn't say anything, but raised her chin proudly, let's say she responded.

After the imperial concubine's words fell, the eyes of the ministers looking at King Liang changed a lot, with a bit of scrutiny.King Liang, when he first appeared on the stage, he looked like I was the most innocent and loyal, but now I don't see it all.

Seeing that his situation was once again lost, King Liang was very depressed, and roared angrily: "Even if the imperial decree in the queen's hand is true, do you think a foolish prince can inherit the throne of the monarch? Can he manage our great Qi well?" Is it the splendid rivers and mountains?"

The ministers were silent again, what King Liang said was true, and the ministers had to consider this issue.

King Liang laughed grimly and said, "So, this king's throne belongs to me, and no one can take it away. Come, someone, change my king's dragon robe."

"Wait a minute." The Queen walked up to the King of Liang, took away the edict in his hand, and said with a smile, "Your Highness the King of Liang is well-prepared, even the dragon robe is ready, so I am so sure that I will definitely ascend the throne." ?”

Seeing the Queen's peaceful smile, King Liang panicked for no reason, but he defended himself: "Brother Huang gave me the will a long time ago, and I made preparations to prevent accidents from happening suddenly."

"Really? His Royal Highness King Liang really doesn't shed tears when he sees the coffin." The queen unfolded the imperial decree in her hand, took it to roast under the candlelight, and after ten breaths, threw it to Mr. Tange. "Old Tang Ge is highly respected, please read this edict again."

"...I have no shame for Daqi, no shame for the people of Li, but I have no face to face my beloved son, King Liang. I was young and frivolous and made a wrong thing, but I dare not take responsibility. Every time I think about it for many years, I will be ashamed. I am ashamed of being a son of man, ashamed of being a father, ashamed of being a father, and hereby issue an edict of guilt."

"Mother, Emperor Daxing..." After Tang Ge finished reading, he was shocked. The king of Liang was born to Emperor Daxing and his concubine. This is simply against human relations.

The queen shook her head helplessly, "I only found out last night that the Emperor Daxing felt that he owed King Liang to let me take good care of him in the future, but he didn't expect that King Liang had tampered with the imperial edict, intending to usurp the throne.

King Liang, what else can you say? "

King Liang's emotions had already collapsed when he heard the edict of guilt. What he got was obviously a will, and it was handed over to him by Manager Wang himself. How could it become an edict of guilt?He is not the son of the emperor's brother, he is the youngest son of the first emperor, he is not so dirty.

When King Liang looked at Emperor Daxing on the dragon bed again, his eyes became extremely cruel, and his heart seemed to be filled with an angry lion, roaring the discontent in his heart.

Brother Huang, why did you say it out, you are going to hell, why do you drag me down?Can't you go quietly?ah!

"Why? Why do you want to punish yourself!"

The empress curled her lips, of course the Edict of Guilt was not issued by Emperor Daxing, it was written by her.

Don't think that she doesn't know that Manager Wang is pretending to obey her, and she doesn't expose it. She simply took away the real edict and wrote two edicts by the way. The edict, when the potion dries, there will be a blank space on it, and then write the will of King Liang, so that King Liang will be concealed from the past.

"I'm not his son!" Liang Wang pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed at the sky and shouted, "Where is the Imperial Forest Army?"

As his words fell, clanging footsteps approached, and soldiers armed with weapons and arrows poured into Ganquan Palace from all directions, surrounding the people in the palace.

The ministers approached the queen one after another, accusing Liang Wang, "Liang Wang, are you trying to force the palace?"

King Liang drew out his long sword, a silver light flashed, a stream of red hot liquid splashed on the gold brick, and a minister fell silently.

He laughed wildly, "You all forced me to do this. I tried to persuade you with kind words, but you didn't appreciate it and insisted on accusing me. If that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

"kill!"
