In the middle of the night, Lord Liang, who had just done a lot of physical labor, was sleeping soundly with his two beautiful concubines in his arms. He didn't even hear the gentle knock on the door outside the bedroom.
However, the two concubines who had been trying to stay awake heard the frequent knocks on the door.
The knock on the door sounded like a ghost, it only rang three times and then stopped.
The two concubines gently moved Lord Liang's hands away from his chest, as if they had practiced countless times. One of them covered Lord Liang's mouth with force, and the other inserted the longest and sharpest hairpin into Lord Liang's chest through the quilt, then pulled it out, inserted it again, pulled it out again, and inserted it again.
Since Lord Liang was a relative of the Queen and his loyalty was impeccable, and he was also very strong, in order to prevent him from not dying immediately, the two concubines forcefully penetrated him dozens of times, as a revenge for what happened in the past.
After confirming that Lord Liang had indeed gone to report to the King of Hell and would not be returning, the two stood up and confirmed that there was no blood on their bodies. They put on their clothes, opened the door, and ordered: "Master wants to rest, so we will go back to the room. No one is allowed to enter without the master's summons. Violators will be punished according to the family rules."
No one dared to go against the wishes of the two favored concubines, and besides, it wasn't a big deal...
With the defection of most of the palace guards, some of the guards who remained at their posts could no longer hold on. They could only fight and retreat under the leadership of a captain, and retreated all the way to the king's bedroom. They only managed to stabilize their position by relying on the eunuchs in the bedroom to move furniture to block the door.
Of course, it’s not that everyone can’t charge in, but it’s already come to this point, and everyone needs to wait for Wei Mingyuan to come in person.
It’s not that Wei Mingyuan doesn’t want to come, it’s just that if he relies on himself to go, there is an 80% chance that he will never get there in this lifetime.
When his men surrounded the bedroom so tightly that no one could get in or out, they carried his couch to the palace gate.
It was obvious that the person in command outside the bedroom was Wei Mingyuan's confidant and knew his situation, so everyone was not in a hurry. After all, it was still a long way to dawn.
As for the city defense forces of Zhongxing Prefecture, it can only be said that the commander of the garrison had not returned from Zhang Yuan's wedding banquet, one of the two deputy commanders had his head shot by his family's servant, and the other actually went to the military camp, but issued an order to keep the troops in place.
So everyone has plenty of time and space to solve the current problems.
With the arrival of Wei Mingyuan, the assault on the bedroom began.
The final battle didn't last long, but it ended strangely before Wei Mingyuan could speak.
An old eunuch shouted, "Your Majesty has something to say, stop it first."
Only then did everyone realize that the king Wei Mingbu, who was said to be beyond saving, had stood up at some point wearing a dragon robe.
Through the gauze curtain beside the bed, no one could see Wei Mingbu's situation clearly, but they heard the old eunuch seem to say something to Wei Mingbu. Then Wei Mingbu nodded and said in a weak voice, "I thought it was the prince, but it turned out to be you."
Wei Mingyuan had no choice but to step forward and say, "Uncle, it's me."
"Where's the prince?"
"I'll go ahead and clear the way for you. After all, the road below is difficult to walk on, so it's always good to have more people to go."
"Okay, kill everyone else and you come in alone."
What Wei Mingbu said was confusing.
However, he seemed to have thought of a legend within the royal family. After thinking for a long time, Wei Mingyuan nodded.
Of course, although the phrase "kill everyone else" is full of ambiguity, Wei Mingyuan would not let all his men die, so he ordered the entire bedroom to be cleaned out and everyone, including the old eunuch, to be beheaded.
Then, after putting on two layers of oversized soft armor, Wei Mingyuan, carrying a light crossbow, relied on his own strength and took more than a quarter of an hour to enter the bedroom.
At this time, there were only him and Wei Mingbu in the bedroom.
The people outside waited for more than an hour.
Of course, since they were in front of the boss, everyone couldn't sit idle. They had to spend more than an hour killing everyone who could be killed in the palace. From then on, even if one only looked at bloodline, Wei Mingyuan was the one closest to the throne.
With a shout of "Come in", everyone rushed into the bedroom, only to find that Wei Mingbu had been dead for some time.
However, the necessary ceremony still needs to be performed.
Wei Mingyuan personally stabbed a dagger engraved with "It was I, Zhang Yuan, who did it" into Wei Mingbu's body, and the process was finally completed.
On July 20th of the eighth year of Tianxian in Daliang, the day when Lin Hai officially declared war on Cambodia, a coup took place in Zhongxing Prefecture, the capital of Xia State.
Zhang Yuan, a shameless, ungrateful and ambitious man, a parasite lurking in the court, a spy from Liang State, and a despised scum, used the wedding as a cover to launch a coup in an attempt to overthrow the entire Xia State.
Zhang Yuan and his large group of followers deceived the seriously ill king and the young prince, brutally killed dozens of important officials in the court, assassinated the prince, and sent troops to besiege the palace.
The commander of the palace guards, Liang Guorong, as Zhang Yuan's insider, opened the palace gate. Although the deputy commander Wei Mingyuange fought desperately, Zhang Yuan's followers were too numerous and the deputy commander could not resist. He could only rush out of the palace to ask for help from Wei Mingyuan, a member of the royal family, the Earl of Guazhou and the king's most loyal nephew.
Unfortunately, the reinforcements arrived a step too late. The evil villain Zhang Yuan had already committed a heinous act, assassinating the king and killing all the royal relatives in Zhongxing Prefecture.
Fortunately, Lord Wei Mingyuan was still alive. He led the remaining guards in an unyielding struggle against the rebels.
Finally, at dawn, the rebels were defeated and Zhang Yuan was captured alive.
At present, since the country is without a ruler, Lord Wei Mingyuan has to temporarily take the throne of the country with the support of all officials (the living ones), and first deal with the posthumous affairs of the king, the prince and the ministers, and hunt down the remnants of Zhang Yuan.
Lord Wei Mingyuan invited officials and royal family members from all over the country to come to the capital to discuss the matter of establishing a new ruler.
This is the official announcement of the Xia State on the "July 20 Incident".
