The Protagonist’s Halo - Chapter 195
The fifth day of November is the birthday of Concubine Shu.
In previous years, it was a grand event with colorful lights and decorations, but this time it was low-key. It only hosted a family banquet in the Chonghua Palace. Fortunately, Emperor Liang An still gave enough face to come in person, and did not let this oneself ever once. The concubine who has loved for many years is embarrassed.
Zheng Shu has a curvy body, sitting on the left side of Emperor Liang An to show her status as a favorite concubine.
Because of the rumors, the poem “Huaqing Fu”, the former concubine Shu and the fifth prince suddenly lost power. Zheng Shu has not been affected. Xu is that Emperor Liang An is still a little fresh about her appearance, or Zheng does not have the slightest background power, and he is not smart. In this palace, he can only rely on His Majesty, so that Emperor An can rest assured. Spoil her.
Zheng Shu had a charming smile on his face and glanced sideways at Concubine Shu, which seemed to be mocking and contemptuous of her.
Concubine Xian and Concubine Li didn’t care about the newcomer’s arrogance. They hadn’t seen anything in the palace for so many years.
Emperor Liang frowned slightly, “Why hasn’t the fifth come yet?”
He considered himself to be lenient, and on the day of Concubine Shu’s birthday, he was exempted from Zhao Chengwei’s footsteps and allowed him to enter the palace to celebrate Concubine Shu’s birthday, and do his last filial piety. After all, Emperor Liang An will issue the imperial decree, ordering him to go to the feudal clan on Minxi Road.
“Cheng Wei may be carefully preparing birthday gifts for his concubines, so it’s a little late.” Concubine Shu said softly, and seemed to want to change the topic so that his Majesty would not be more unhappy with the five princes. She got up and held a glass of wine, Lianbu lightly Moved to the front of Emperor Liang An, slightly bent his knees and blessed his body,
“The concubine respects Your Majesty a glass, thank you for your love for many years.”
Concubine Shu looked at Emperor Liang An, her eyes seemingly tender.
Although today is the birthday of Concubine Shu, she did not dress up in gorgeous clothes. Instead, she was dressed very plain. She used to have strong makeup. Today, she only wears plain makeup. Even the pearl hairpins are only a few. It can be seen that this time is not easy. It’s like wearing a sinful body.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Liang’s heart had been softened for the most part, and naturally he would not refuse her inviting sin, and took the wine and calendula in her hand and drank it.
Because the fifth child might threaten his imperial power, Emperor Liang An also had a bit of suspicion about Concubine Shu, but her obedient, peaceful and not noisy, made Liang An embarrassed instead.
Concubine Shu has taken care of the harem for him for many years, and there is nothing wrong with it. It is a bit too much for him to anger her because of the previous affairs. Emperor Liang An thought, even if he ordered the fifth to leave, he would not treat Concubine Shu badly and let her be wronged in the palace.
Emperor Liang An sighed and helped Concubine Shu up, “I know your temperament, you have always been gentle and kind, and never have any resentment towards me…”
The words stopped abruptly, and suddenly there was a pain in his stomach. Emperor Liang’s face changed in shock, and his hands trembled violently. He wanted to say something but couldn’t open his mouth. He could only stare at the smiling concubine Shu with his eyes wide open. “you……”
The corner of Concubine Shu’s mouth was smiling, “The concubine has been with your majesty for many years, and in the end, what your concubine loves is nothing but the way the concubine pretends.”
Zheng Shu, who was closest to Emperor Liang An, finally found something wrong with His Majesty, screamed, followed by Emperor Liang An shook and fell down.
…
Just after Fu Jun was about to leave the palace, he found that the palace gate was keyed early and the inner city was also closed, more than an hour earlier than usual. He shook his heart, and immediately avoided the forbidden troops that came by, and ran back.
Your Majesty’s situation is unknown, but if he guessed correctly, the place where your Majesty is must be the most dangerous, even for your majesty. Although Fu Jun was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but he was a weak courtier and had no force at all. To save the car was no different and costed his life in vain.
It is certainly not ordinary people who can block the inner city and mobilize a large number of forbidden troops. With any luck, he can find the slack of the guards of Miyagi and escape, and find someone to bring soldiers to rescue him. If you are unlucky, only the person behind the scenes can control the inner palace, and he might also be worried about his life.
Fu Jun looked serious and solemn, but the speed of escape was not slow.
At this time, earth-shaking changes have also taken place in the Chonghua Palace.
The crowd was panicked, even if the screams did not attract the escorted imperial guards, but the concubine’s people guarded the surroundings. It seems that this is just a farce confined to the Chonghua Palace, but anyone with a bit of intelligence can understand that this is a bureau set up by Concubine Shu, murdering your majesty and controlling the inner palace.
Since Concubine Shu has arrogantly harmed your Majesty in front of them, will you let them go who have seen this scene with your own eyes? Li Fei shivered with fright, limp all over, and murmured, “I don’t know anything, please let me go, the concubine.”
Concubine Xian was calm, and didn’t regret coming here, she just looked at Concubine Shu and said coldly,
“I am waiting for your mother and son in the Yin Cao Jifu.”
Then she drank the drink she knew was poisonous.
Concubine Xian looked at Emperor Liang An who fell on the ground for the last time, and she was not at all sad. Had he not favored Concubine Shu and gave her the power to control the harem, how could she end up like this. Even taking her to the funeral, she shouldn’t have entered the palace at the beginning, and she also harmed her daughter.
Zheng Shu was already pale, struggling desperately, his temples, hair, beads and hairpins were all messed up, but the imperial concubine’s mouth was still held tightly by the imperial concubine. Concubine Shu looked at her in disgust. If it weren’t for Zheng Shu, the woman who caused the trouble, she wouldn’t have gone so close.
“Drag out and hacked to death to feed the dog.”
A word determines Zheng Shu’s life and death. After tearing off the former gentle and virtuous mask, the cruelty in Concubine Shu’s bones is absolutely clear.
…
The palace is getting more and more strict, almost three steps, one post, five steps, one sentry, and from time to time, there are also imperial soldiers coming and going to search.
Fu Jun hid all the way, his mentality was strained to the extreme, and a cold sweat appeared behind his back. Many important palace gates in the north, southeast and north were sealed and closely guarded. He could only go to the remote West Palace, but accidentally found it on the way. The eighth prince hiding in the rockery, Fu Jun asked anxiously, “His Royal Highness, why are you here?”
The eighth prince rubbed his eyes, seeming not to notice that it was too late, and replied dullly, “They played hide-and-seek with me, and they couldn’t come out if they couldn’t find it.”
Fu Jun taught the princes for a few days. He knew that the eight princes were always honest and silly. He didn’t know if he was teased by other brothers, and he wouldn’t lose his temper afterwards. If it is on weekdays, someone from his own palace will come and find him back, but at this moment, I am afraid that someone who will kill the eighth prince will be found.
He hesitated for a moment, and still picked up the young eighth prince, “His Royal Highness, you are obedient, don’t say anything, the minister will take you to a safe place.”
The Eighth Prince was ignorant, because Fu Jun had always been gentle in his lectures and never gave him a good impression. He nodded, “Okay, Taifu.”
In the plan of Concubine Shu, she controlled the harem, and Zhao Chengwei and Nanning Hou controlled the situation in the capital within a short period of time. Now it has been half of the success, with the help of her years of control of the harem, not even lost to Emperor Liang.
Step by step from the harem to the front dynasty, win over Nanning Hou and the forces in the army for the five princes and so on.
Perhaps Concubine Shu had already had such thoughts, how could she not understand Emperor Liang An’s thin and cool character, and how could she really tie the whole body of honor, disgrace, life and death to him.
When Zhao Chengwei entered the inner city with a thousand soldiers and horses, he took control of the situation with lightning speed, and then the first place to go was Chonghua Palace.
At this time, the palace was full of corpses, including concubines and palace men. Seeing the hideous face of Emperor Liang An lying on the ground, Zhao Chengwei was stunned. He originally thought that the mother concubine would only control the father, and forced him to write the Zen edict, but he did not expect that the mother would directly kill the father.
The past scenes of father and son filial piety and love are vivid, Zhao Chengwei gritted his teeth, and he can’t be merciful if he wants to be an emperor.
Concubine Shu ordered coldly, “The prince and concubines in the palace can’t stay.”
There are also the three princes and the fourth princes outside the palace. As early as when she suppressed them many years ago, she planted her manpower in the house to prevent unexpected needs. Even if it is a rebellion, when they control the front center and harem, they will directly announce the succession to the world, and the done is done.
There was a **** massacre in the harem, and the reaction outside the palace seemed to be quick. Concubine Shu’s people at the residences of the third and fourth princes moved their hands. The third princes and their family members were poisoned to death, and none of them were spared. The fourth prince went wrong and failed to get things done.
Some noble courtiers also reacted, and under the contact of the four princes, together with the royalist party, led the Huwei army, and the rebels sent by the five princes launched a fierce fight outside Xuan’anmen, shouting to kill the sky.
Because they don’t know the life and death of their Majesty, the royalists dare not try their best, and are faintly at a disadvantage. When the fire started, the entire capital was in chaos.
The fire spread from Gongmen to Xizhi Street. This rebellion was so sudden, many people in Beijing still don’t know what happened.
The Zheng family, Master Zheng and Aunt Qiu listened to the shouts of war and sword fighting outside. Frightened and panicked. The servants in the house were also in a mess, some cunningly saw that there were soldiers everywhere in the chaos outside, and they didn’t know which party they were, so they immediately collected some money and fled.
When Master Zheng was regretting that he had not hired some powerful guards, the door on the mansion had been knocked open and rushed in.
When the rebels wrecked the city, they immediately burned, killed, and looted the Zheng family, who had some family background but had no resistance. When they encountered some high-ranking mansions, they became bolder, causing everyone to be at risk.
Several veterans who hadn’t led the army for a long time were furious, and they didn’t care much, so they sent people to take the tiger charm to mobilize the army outside the city as soon as possible.
According to the past, they did not dare to mobilize soldiers and horses at will, for fear of committing taboos, but now it is a crisis, and they can only act decisively.
