After the cannon fodder fell into my arms

[-].

Emperor Jianzhao's birthday is the fifth day of October, just after the first frost, and it is the time when autumn and winter meet.

The north wind howled, and even in the most prosperous palace, from time to time, withered yellow leaves rustled down.

Xie Xuan gathered the cloak on his body and got out of the carriage.

Before entering the palace gate, he looked up at the sky full of dark clouds, and smiled softly: "It's really raining!"

Just like in the past, the courtiers he met along the way greeted him warmly, and Xie Xuan also nodded politely.

After a while, a group of people arrived in front of the Wenhua Palace, where Emperor Jianzhao's birthday banquet was held.

The First Prince Xie Hong also arrived at this time. In the past two months, because Xie Xuan and Emperor Jianzhao had fallen out with the naked eye, Xie Hong took advantage of the opportunity and gained a lot of benefits. Recently, he has regained his complacency.

Seeing Xie Xuan, he returned to his usual arrogance.

Xie Xuan didn't want to argue with him, nodded and walked to his seat.

After a while, there was a commotion outside, and Emperor Jianzhao came with his concubines from the harem.

Today is Emperor Jianzhao's birthday, before the official banquet begins.

The historians also took out a booklet and read it aloud in front of everyone. It recorded the achievements of Emperor Jianzhao in this year, and they just took the opportunity to show it off.

After that, the singing and dancing began, and the banquet began.

However, at today's banquet, everyone was more excited than in the past, and they didn't mean to eat seriously at all, they were all waiting for Emperor Jianzhao's final announcement.

After a round of food was served, Emperor Jianzhao finally said: "Presumably all the ministers also know that two months ago, I said that I would announce the establishment of the crown prince today."

Hearing this, everyone present was shocked, but their mouths were full of compliments: "Your Majesty is in the prime of life, so there is really no need to be so anxious."

Emperor Jianzhao shook his head: "I know my own body, the crown prince is related to Guozuo, if he is established as soon as possible, I can rest assured as soon as possible, and so can all the ministers."

Everyone can only continue to shout: "Your Majesty is holy."

At this time, Emperor Jianzhao made a face to Wang Chengying who was at the side, and a little eunuch walked out from the side hall, holding a bright yellow box in his hand.

Everyone's breathing quickened, and it contained the imperial decree of the crown prince.

At this moment, Concubine Lu Gui suddenly walked out of her seat: "Your Majesty, this concubine has something to report."

Everyone looked at each other, the establishment of the crown prince was originally a political matter, and the harem should never be involved, but today is the emperor's birthday banquet, so all the ladies are here.

Emperor Jianzhao's face darkened, and he said coldly: "I'm talking about important national affairs, why don't you step back quickly."

Concubine Lu Gui knelt straight and did not back down at all: "Although what the concubine reported is a matter of the harem, it is also related to the family, the country and the world. The concubine wants to sue the concubines of the Feihong Palace for confusing the royal blood and treating wild species as dragon species. If the emperor turns a blind eye to this, won't he hand over thousands of miles of land to others in the future?"

This statement is too surprising.

Everyone in the hall was short of breath.

Emperor Jianzhao even stood up directly from the dragon chair, looked at Concubine Lu Gui, wishing to swallow her up: "Bitch, what are you talking about?"

The courtiers were even more shocked when they heard this. In their eyes, Concubine Lu Gui is a concubine, a vixen, who confuses the Holy Majesty and corrupts the court, but judging by His Majesty's current appearance, it seems that this is not the case...

Concubine Lu looked at Emperor Jianzhao, at the man who finally showed a fierce face in front of her, and said with a sneer, "The concubine of Feihong Palace is the saint who paid tribute to Daliang in Nanzhao 20 years ago, and she was also the side concubine who was first made the crown prince. Your Majesty In September of the first year of Jianzhao's accession to the throne, Prince Licheng died in confinement in the mansion."

"Originally, His Majesty has a deep brotherhood, leaving his brother and concubine and posthumous son to be raised in the palace, which is considered a merit. However, the fourth prince Xie Huan was born in August of the second year of Jianzhao. At that time, Prince Li Cheng had died almost One year is enough to show that its origin is not right, not of royal blood."

"Unless it is said that His Majesty took over the elder brother's widow when his body was still cold in less than two months after his death, such a concubine conceived in her womb can be regarded as royal blood, otherwise, hehe..."

"Wow..."

As soon as these words came out, the Wenhua Palace seemed to be boiling hot water for an instant, and the discussion sounded wave after wave, and it was impossible to calm down.

The ministers couldn't stop whispering to each other.

"This...what's the matter?"

"How could Concubine Li be the prince's side concubine first?"

"Then now, isn't this His Majesty..."

Emperor Jian Zhao stared at Concubine Lu Gui fiercely, and his corner of the eye glanced across Xie Xuan's face.

Okay, very good, but they really found out.

Very good, actually dare to say it directly on such an occasion,

However, Emperor Jianzhao sneered: "Bitch, what nonsense are you talking about? I think you are suffering from insanity. Why is Li concubine the prince's side concubine first? Li concubine is obviously a little maid in the palace? It's just a child. Huan was injured when she was a child, so she didn't see people very much, I will call her to see her right away."

Concubine Lu Guifei raised her eyebrows, glanced at him, and said with a light smile: "The concubine dared to speak out today, didn't she think of this level? Now of course the Feihong Palace is not Li Concubine, it's just Your Majesty, you don't know what to do." Where did you find a substitute?"

Emperor Jianzhao's brows were gloomy, he waved his hands to the left and right and said, "You still don't believe what I said, knowing that today I want to set up a crown prince, but you still go crazy on purpose, it seems that I really dote on you too much, come here, drag Concubine Lu Guifei down and lock her up , talk about it later."

"My Highness, let's see who dares!"

Xie Xuan stood up suddenly, his sharp eyes swept over the guards on the left and right, and his tone was extremely cold.

Emperor Jianzhao looked at the mother and son, sneered and said, "Okay, very good. Are you mother and son planning to rebel today?"

Xie Xuan sneered: "Rebellion? Father, you are pressing my ministers every step of the way. Isn't that why you are doing this today? Thinking that your ministers will rebel first, you will find a logical reason to deal with your ministers, so that you The most beloved son, Xie Huan, stepped aside!"

Emperor Jianzhao did not expect that he had already guessed all this.

Now that he guessed it, Xie Xuan is so confident that he made such a move today?

impossible.

The Beijing Camp and the Yulin Army are both in his hands, so what kind of waves can he make.

Emperor Jianzhao's face was slightly restrained, but he didn't admit it at all: "What nonsense are you talking about? Why did I force you to rebel?"

Xie Huan also got up quickly, and yelled at Xie Xuan: "You yourself are rebellious, disrespectful to the emperor, and want to be the emperor. Just now you and your mother and concubine made up your brother's life experience, and now you have the nerve to take responsibility for your treason!" Pushing it to Father Emperor, Xie Xuan, you really don't have the slightest responsibility."

Xie Xuan looked at Xie Huan and smiled softly.

"If you don't take responsibility, it's still not as good as you, Brother Four."

"In the case of the ceremony, you originally wanted to tarnish my reputation and deliberately caused the sacrificial pillar to collapse, but in the end I was lucky and fateful, and your conspiracy was exposed. In the end, it was our good father who worked hard to clean up the mess for you. All this was planted to the Japanese pirates;”

"The tiger case in the schoolyard, you wanted to use this to try to tempt me, but I escaped with my life. In the end, it was our good father who finished it for you and left the matter to the prairie people."

"There are countless things like this. Brother Sihuang, I didn't take such words. It is really not convincing to say it from your mouth."

All the ministers, even the First Prince and Second Prince changed their expressions.

Is this the truth of the matter?

At the beginning, His Majesty dealt with it in such a hurry, they still treated him as His Majesty because they cared about pampering Xie Xuan.

And because of the ritual assassination case, the first prince lost the power of the Beijing camp; because of the tiger case, the second prince was even blinded. They were all resenting Xie Xuan, but they didn't expect that someone was mantis catching cicadas and the oriole was behind.

For a moment, the mood of the two princes became extremely complicated.

If this is the case, then the father is too unfair, let the three of them kill each other, but they are silently paving the way for Xie Huan.

The two of them looked at Emperor Jianzhao together, their voices trembling: "Father, is what the sixth brother said true?"

Emperor Jianzhao's complexion changed abruptly, and he said with a cold face, "You two also want to learn from Xie Xuan, a rebellious son, to doubt me and question me?"

Xie Xuan sneered: "If you don't want your sons and ministers to be suspicious, the emperor can swear in front of the ministers that you will never make Xie Huan the crown prince, and never entrust the country to Xie Huan. After all, the four of you present A son, apart from Second Emperor who is blind in one eye, who is really inappropriate, who else is better than Xie Huan, a bastard of unknown origin and heartless?"

Hearing this, Xie Hong's eyes lit up, and he immediately answered: "Yes, father, you swear."

Xie Kuan's complexion was not good-looking, but at this moment, he also echoed: "It's just a sentence, very simple, father."

Xie Huan's complexion changed instantly.

These people actually...

Emperor Jianzhao also looked at these three sons with a gloomy expression: "You three rebellious sons, how dare you persecute me like this. If I am under your coercion today, how will I be able to preside over the world's major affairs in the future?"

Xie Xuan casually drew the waist knife of the guard next to him, and slowly slid it on the ground.

He raised his head and looked at Emperor Jianzhao's gaze, which was extremely deep: "Father, don't say these high-sounding words. After I have experienced so many murderous intentions and accidents, do you think I will still be bluffed by these words? Father , do you understand how terrifying it is when such a thick and tall sacrificial pillar falls down towards a person's head?"

"Do you know how terrified a tiger of that size was when it rushed towards its face? It's ridiculous. At that time, my son ran to you and wanted to save you at the first time, but you, father, you must have Are you kidding?"

This sentence brought everyone back to that night.

Yes, His Highness the Sixth Highness originally treated His Majesty so purely and filially, at such a critical moment of life and death, but who knew, it was actually like this...

What a pity!

Emperor Jianzhao looked at the faces of the people below, and knew that Xie Xuan had hit their heart.

His face was slightly restrained: "I don't know what you are talking about, but even if this is the case, this is not an excuse for you to rebel against the emperor."

Xie Xuan sneered: "So, should I obediently wait to die? Hmph, there I tell you, I am not that kind of person. If someone slaps I, I will definitely slap back."

Emperor Jianzhao said in a deep voice, "So, you want to rebel?"

Xie Xuan nodded without hesitation: "Yes."

Emperor Jianzhao also nodded: "Very good, it is very good that you admit it. According to the law of Daliang, rebellion is a first-class serious crime, even the princes and grandchildren are unavoidable. Come, come and kill the sixth prince Xie Xuan and Concubine Lu Gui." Detained in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Hearing the holy order, some imperial guards wanted to obey the order immediately.

But at this moment, the teammates around them suddenly backhanded for some reason and turned against each other.

Those imperial soldiers who were about to arrest people immediately fell to the ground.

There was an unconcealable smell of blood in the hall.

A member of the Imperial Forest Army stepped out and said to Xie Xuan, "Your Highness, they have all been dealt with."

Xie Xuan nodded.

Emperor Jianzhao looked at all this, his face remained unchanged, and he only murmured: "It turns out that there are people like you in the imperial army."

Xie Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Otherwise, does Royal Father think that I rebelled out of solitary courage? Although Imperial Father has been in charge of you for many years, the Imperial Guard Commander was in charge of their initial selection. Before autumn, the imperial army just recruited a new group of people, isn't it just right to take the opportunity to replace them?"

Emperor Jianzhao was not angry, and when he looked at Xie Xuan, his face was still full of hesitation: "But since you knew that I was setting up a situation today, do you think that I have no other preparations except for the forbidden army, haha , the 3 horses in the Beijing camp should already be outside the palace gate?"

"You and your mother and concubine, including these rebellious ministers who persecuted me, and these rebellious forbidden soldiers, none of them will survive later."

Hearing this, Xie Xuan also smiled softly: "Father, since I know that you have set up an ambush, I still dare to enter the palace openly, do you really think that there are only a few people who can be placed in the imperial army?"

Emperor Jianzhao's complexion changed slightly: "What do you mean?"

The ministers frowned irritably, feeling that you father and son are playing with dolls here?

Let's just put it on the table if you have anything to do, whether it's annoying to squeeze a little bit, end it sooner, so that honest people like them can choose sides earlier!

At this moment, Xie Xuan raised his head, looked at Gu Siyuan who was standing beside Emperor Jianzhao, and asked with a smile, "Have you gone to the capital camp to gather people?"

Gu Siyuan nodded: "Naturally, there are nearly ten thousand soldiers in the imperial army, and Guan Zhuoyi is still waiting outside the hall with a large number of people. They will rush in at the order of His Majesty. What's the use of the little people you put in the imperial army? "

Xie Xuan nodded, as if coquettishly said: "You are naturally the most reliable in handling things."

Emperor Jianzhao watched the communication between the two, although Gu Siyuan still had a cold face, but he could see some pampering in it.

These two...

He stared at Gu Siyuan: "You...you betrayed me?"

Gu Siyuan's expression remained the same, but his voice was indifferent: "The late general's mother died early, and after his father married his stepmother, he began to favor his stepbrother. Therefore, the partial general has always hated the partial parents, and even the late general's father's son Partial, but not half as much as His Majesty."

"Your Majesty is able to unite his son again and again to murder his other son. Every time the general sees His Highness Six, he will inevitably recall his difficult childhood."

"Therefore, the last general is not a betrayal, the last general is just following his heart. Your majesty is really unworthy of being a father, a king, and even less a model for all people to cultivate their moral character and family. Today, the last general respectfully asks your majesty to abdicate and give way to the worthy!"

saw this sudden change.

All the ministers present first called me a big Cao, okay, all of you are acting kings.

Then, some of the ministers who belonged to Xie Xuangui came out, knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Please abdicate your majesty to let the virtuous, please abdicate to let the virtuous!"

"Abdicate to the virtuous? Are you asking me to abdicate to the virtuous?" Emperor Jianzhao chewed on these words, and fell down on the dragon chair.

It never occurred to him that Xie Xuan buried such a big nail beside him, which dealt him a fatal blow at the critical moment.

He swept his eyes from Gu Siyuan and the kneeling officials one by one, sneered one after another, and finally looked at Xie Xuan: "Rang Xian, will you give it to you?"

Xie Xuan nodded, and said without hesitation: "Yes."

Emperor Jianzhao shook his head and refused: "You are dreaming!"

Gu Siyuan looked at Emperor Jian Zhao, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty is so determined, is he waiting for Guan Zhuoyi to bring people into the palace, take us as hostages, and then use your warrant to make the Beijing army retreat?"

Emperor Jianzhao's complexion changed, he really thought so.

The so-called winners and losers, the Jingying Society helped Gu Siyuan rebel, and it must have benefited greatly.

However, if Gu Siyuan was captured by him, the benefits would not be fulfilled. Is it necessary for the Beijing camp to rebel?

There was almost a smile on Gu Siyuan's indifferent face: "Your Majesty, haven't you seen the last general kill someone? Look at how far you are from the last general, one step, or two steps. Who will become the soul of the sword first?" indefinite?"

Emperor Jianzhao's complexion changed, he was used to Gu Siyuan standing beside him, and he didn't realize it?

He poked his neck: "Xie Xuan dared to kill his father. In the future, the history books will not spare him, and the people in the world will not obey him."

Xie Xuan chuckled immediately: "It's not okay to kill your father, but it shouldn't matter if you kill your brother?"

As soon as the words fell, the big knife that was originally dragged by him on the ground was directly placed on Xie Huan's neck the next moment.

Perhaps because Xie Xuan didn't use the knife very often, he couldn't control his strength well. The moment the blade touched Xie Huan's skin, blood immediately oozed out.

Xie Huan was in pain: "Xie Xuan, you are crazy!"

Emperor Jianzhao also changed his expression greatly, and shouted: "Xie Xuan, how dare you!"

Xie Xuan tilted his head, his expression was innocent, but he looked like a bloodthirsty devil: "Now that things have happened, what else is there that I dare not do?"

At this time, Concubine Lu Gui also looked at Emperor Jianzhao slowly, and said softly: "Speaking of which, when I passed by Qingwu Pavilion today, a lowly servant girl suddenly rushed out of there and offended me, and I have already arrested her. This palace will let people deal with her."

Emperor Jianzhao was startled, stared at Concubine Lu Gui with red eyes, and sternly shouted: "Bitch, what have you done to Li'er?"

He originally thought that the most dangerous place would be the safest place, so he asked Yulinwei to hide Concubine Li in advance, and hid it in the Leng Palace. Unexpectedly, the mother and son had discovered it long ago.

It must be Gu Siyuan. After Gu Siyuan noticed it, he told them.

Concubine Lu Gui raised her eyebrows slightly, and said innocently: "What Li'er, didn't Your Majesty say that Concubine Li was in poor health and stayed in Feihong Palace all the time, but that maid was radiant and strong, but she was a little crazy and didn't know how to advance or retreat. As a noble concubine, the half-master of the harem, is it worth His Majesty's anger to dispose of a crazy maid in the cold palace?"

Emperor Jianzhao just kept scolding: "Bitch, bitch, if you dare to touch Li'er, I will kill you!"

Hearing this, and looking at Emperor Jianzhao's appearance, there is still something that the ministers don't understand.

Emperor Jianzhao actually snatched away his elder brother's side concubine, and made someone conceive within two months of his elder brother's death.

Those few old-fashioned censors stood up immediately: "Your Majesty's actions like this are simply a joke for the world. How will you educate the people in the future? Your Majesty also asks you to abdicate and let the virtuous!"

Afterwards, the other civil and military officials looked at each other, and they all knelt down: "Your Majesty, please abdicate and let the virtuous!"

Xie Xuan chuckled, full of joy inside.

He looked at Emperor Jianzhao, and sincerely suggested: "Father, don't go crazy. For you, your beloved woman, and your beloved son, you should follow the trend of the times. Order a Zen seat!"

Emperor Jianzhao leaned on the dragon chair and fell silent.

Xie Huan's complexion suddenly changed.

He knew that his father was shaken.

In his life, he has really succeeded and lost his mother and concubine. If his mother and concubine hadn't been arrested, with his royal father's temperament, he wouldn't be shaken so quickly.

I don't know how long it took, Wenhua Palace gradually quieted down.

The guards outside the gate carried away several corpses.

The palace people kept splashing water and sweeping.

The civil and military ministers have all withdrawn, and the decree of making Xie Xuan the crown prince will soon spread throughout the world.

Gu Si raised his hand and wiped Xie Xuan's cheek: "When was it still stained with blood?"

Xie Xuan rubbed his cheek against his palm, and said with a smile: "Your wish is about to come true, are you happy?"

Gu Siyuan glanced at him: "Whose wish?"

Xie Xuan stuck out his tongue and licked his palm: "General, didn't the general say a long time ago that he wanted to try it in the Golden Temple?"

Gu Siyuan: "..."

You always remember this matter.
