How to Raid the Queen

At three o'clock in Shenshi, the gate of the palace opened wide, and the courtiers who came to celebrate the birthday entered the palace one by one with their family members according to their rank.The crowd was surging, all whispering to each other, in order to find out what gifts were prepared in haste by other people's homes.Speaking of it, everyone still couldn't figure it out. It was rumored that the emperor and the empress had always been at odds. Why did the emperor suddenly order to hold a birthday banquet for the empress?But as a courtier, no matter how hard he thinks about it, he can only bite the bullet and prepare some good things. After all, there are really not many opportunities in the banquet palace.

Just after you hour, the main hall of Qinghe Palace was already full of people.Jing Wenhao appeared with the queen.The ministers and their wives stood up, knelt down, and said in unison: "The emperor Sheng'an, the empress Jin'an."

Jing Wenhao took the queen's hand, sat with him on the main hall, and said, "Be flat."

"Everyone knows that today is the Empress's birthday. You must be wondering why I suddenly let all the nobles enter the palace for a banquet. Come on, let me guess, why did I make such an arrangement?" Jing Wen Hao sat in his seat, and all the ministers also sat back.

"Tao Xiang, tell me."

Tao Yulin got up, saluted, and said: "The holy will is unpredictable, I think the emperor and empress are deeply affectionate, this move is really reasonable."

Jing Wenhao smiled and said: "Prime Minister Tao is right or wrong. I held this banquet for the empress, but not for him. On the contrary, you should have more fun."

Tao Yulin answered, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

All the ministers followed suit and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Firstly, since I ascended the throne, I have received a lot of help from all the adults, and I am now in Daqi's current situation. In terms of emotion and reason, I should give a banquet to all the adults to comfort all the gentlemen. Second, I will only give Everyone has reserved three days. I know that such a short period of time is not enough to prepare gifts. It just so happens that all the gifts are recorded. I want to see who is the most capable person in this court. If the treasures were found within three days, if there were such a courtier, there would be no need to appear in this palace in the future."

As soon as this remark came out, the courtiers below were all shocked, secretly calculating whether the gift he gave was in line with the etiquette system, and everyone's faces were shocked for a while.

"Brother Huang, don't scare your lords on the day of great joy." Jing Wenxi had already made moves tonight, but at this time, he was vaguely looking forward to it and couldn't hold back.

Jing Wenhao was not annoyed, but looked at Jing Wenxi and smiled, and said, "I still know what the emperor wants. Well, my lords, let's have fun tonight."

In this way, the atmosphere in the Qinghe Hall became a little more relaxed. After a while, the singing and dancing program also came out, and with a few glasses of rice wine, the atmosphere of the banquet really came out.

During the period, Jing Wenhao, in order to be realistic, drank two cups with the queen, and eagerly helped the queen prepare vegetables. The courtiers directly said that the empress's love is better than that of Jin Jian, and they are very suitable.

With a sound of "thump", the big bell of the Jingju Temple in the city rang once, and anyone who cared knew that it was a night watch.

As usual, Jing Wenhao drank with the queen, regardless of how excited His Highness Jing Wenxi and Jing Yi were.

At the moment of Xu Shi, Jing Wenhao took the queen to accept the congratulations from everyone, and glanced at Jing Wenxi halfway, seeing that his imperial brother was in high spirits at this time.

At two o'clock in Xu time, this is the siege time agreed by Jing Wenxi and the others. Jing Wenhao still grabs all the courtiers and asks them to contribute their own programs one by one. Civil officials compose poems, military officers perform swordsmanship, and a group of courtiers Being teased by Jing Wenhao was a mess, but the atmosphere became more harmonious.

At three quarters of the hour, Qinghe Palace suddenly poured into many imperial guards, and surrounded the entire Qinghe Palace. The leader was Xiao Zhan, and the whole palace became terrified instantly.

Jing Wenhao finally withdrew his interest and sat back in his seat.

"Xiao Zhan, what do you mean?"

Xiao Zhan didn't speak, but turned to look at Jing Yi. Jing Yi said that when the cup fell in his hand, all the ministers and their relatives put a knife on their necks.

There was no trace of fear in Jing Wenhao's eyes, but he smiled and said, "Uncle Huang, what does this mean?"

Jing Yi tidied up his clothes, walked into the main hall, and said, "Set things right." It seemed too calm at times.

"Before the emperor passed away, you gave the order to pass on the throne to the second prince. You disregarded the emperor's will and falsified the throne." Jing Yi stood in the hall, took out an imperial edict in his hand, and said to the officials: "Here is the edict of the first emperor, you dove!" I have occupied the magpie's nest for a long time, and today is also the time to help the second prince regain the throne under the witness of all the adults." The implication is that today's palace has become a fact, anyway, all the adults sitting here will be automatically allocated Arrived at the Second Prince's faction.

Jing Wenhao was not in a hurry, but instead sneered and said, "Before the late emperor passed away, he spent many days on the sickbed. The royal relatives, the imperial physicians, and even the cabinet ministers followed me and the empress in front of the sickbed. For so many days, the late emperor did not even propose to abolish the crown prince, but I don’t know where the emperor’s uncle came up with such a false edict.”

"Besides, when the first emperor breathed his last breath, the one who stood by him was the empress and uncle, otherwise, let's ask the empress if she has seen your edict before?" Jing Wenhao looked at the sitting The queen on one side, that person was found on a temporary basis after all, unable to stand up to such a big scene, she looked a little flustered, her whole body trembling to a degree visible to the naked eye.Jing Wenhao sighed secretly in his heart, thinking of his last life, even before Li Xi died, he never had such a frightened appearance. Sure enough, no matter how similar the appearance is, people are different after all.

The queen was unable to say a word for a long time, Jing Yi became anxious, and said: "The queen has a close relationship with you, and you are both prosperous and hurt, and the queen's testimony is probably not credible. The late emperor had the heart to abolish the prince long ago. , It’s a pity that you are dying of illness, and you are in control of the court, so you can’t do what you want, so you can only secretly draw up this edict and pass it on to the second prince. Jing Wenhao, an uncle and nephew, I advise you to catch him without a fight.”

Jing Wenhao looked at Jing Wenxi in a calm manner, and said with a smile: "Young brother, tell me, what is this uncle doing tonight? Could it be that he lost his position as regent a few days ago and was unhappy Is it?"

Jing Yi had already agreed on this matter, and he did everything, but at this time it was put on the stage for no reason, and Jing Wenxi just stood up.

"Brother Huang, it's human nature to be greedy for power and position. If Brother Huang issued an edict to abdicate at this time, in view of the brotherhood between you and me for many years, I will save Brother Huang's life, and the right should be given to the queen mother." I have confessed." When Jing Wenxi said this, he was determined to win.

"Shameless!" Mr. Tao Yulin stood up even though his neck was tied with a knife, "The first emperor established a prince at the age of 13, and followed the ancestral system of the eldest son. The emperor has both ability and political integrity, and has the style of an emperor. How could it be you?" Wait for the rebellious officials and thieves to talk nonsense and slander."

As soon as Tao Yulin made a sound, the ministers below really started to mess up.Most of the people who could sit in the hall were old courtiers from the previous dynasty, and they naturally knew the situation of the two princes all too well.The late emperor had always favored the eldest prince, so it must be unreliable to suddenly stand up and say that the imperial edict of the late emperor is fake, and that the emperor is fake.For a while, everyone in the hall whispered.

Jing Yi saw that the place he had just settled down was a bit chaotic, and he was a little anxious, so he winked at Xiao Zhan, and Xiao Zhan took the order, and drew his sword to chop off at Tao Yulin.

Everyone in the hall held their breath, thinking that Tao Yulin was about to splatter blood on the spot. At the very moment, Xiao Zhan's knife was shot by a bow and arrow, and even Xiao Zhan trembled, and came back to his senses. Looking outside the hall, it was Liu Jin who rushed in with someone, and it was Liu Jin who shot the arrow secretly.

A group of guards rushed out from behind the hall, and surrounded Jing Yi's people instead.

"King Yi intends to rebel, and the evidence is solid. If any guard in the palace is provoked by him, put down the sword in his hand, there is still a glimmer of life. If he violates it, he will be killed without mercy." Liu Jin roared out, and the guards brought by Xiao Zhan looked at each other. , I don't know who started it, and threw the knife in his hand to the ground, and the others put down their weapons one after another.Only now did the adults breathe a sigh of relief.

"Uncle Huang, do you have anything to say?" Jing Wenhao stood up from his seat, looking down at Jing Yi at this moment.

Jing Yi didn't expect that Jing Wenhao would have a second move, and the usurpation of the throne is an indisputable fact at this time, and at this time, he can only risk his life to fight.

"Xiao Zhan." Jing Yi shouted.

Hearing the sound, Xiao Zhan immediately turned to go to Jing Wenhao's side, but before he got there, he was quickly blocked by Liu Jin's sharp eyes.Xiao Zhan went into battle with a knife in hand, and their only hope at this time was to kill Jing Wenhao.Liu Jin's kung fu was developed by An Yonghou since he was a child, Xiao Zhan was naturally invincible, and he was defeated in a short time.Liu Jin kicked off the big knife in Xiao Zhan's hand, and then kicked Xiao Zhan to the ground. The next second, when Xiao Zhan came back to his senses, a knife was already on Xiao Zhan's neck on, so that he can no longer move.

Just as Xiao Zhan was subdued, Marquis An Yong in military uniform hurried into Qinghe Hall.

"My servant came late to rescue me, please forgive me." Marquis An Yong knelt down, his voice resounding.
