As soon as the butterfly flapped its wings, the plot immediately took off like a wild horse.
Crown Prince Yang Hanxiu testified that the Imperial Noble Consort had poisoned the emperor, but the Imperial Noble Consort categorically stated that the Crown Prince had turned the tables, saying that Yang Hanxiu was a traitor and had attempted to kill his father and usurp the throne.
The two men each insisted on their own opinion and wanted to kill the other.
Commander Zheng of the Imperial Guards definitely stands on Yang Hanxiu's side, but the Imperial Concubine has been operating in the palace for many years and has a certain amount of power. Without evidence, Commander Zheng cannot arrest anyone rashly.
Finally, the old empress dowager stepped forward to take charge of the situation and said that since both the crown prince and the imperial concubine were suspects, one would be imprisoned in the East Palace and the other in the Bixiao Palace, and both of them were placed under house arrest.
The old emperor was holding on to his last breath, still gasping for breath. The imperial doctors were so anxious that their faces turned pale, fearing that he would end up being buried with him.
But the poison is too strong and they can’t cure it!
In the end, after holding on for a long time, Emperor Wu Sheng finally died in the evening.
Emperor Wusheng passed away!
Emperor Wu Sheng was definitely a vengeful person. Before he died, he issued an imperial decree with his last breath.
Although he didn't know whether it was the Crown Prince or the Imperial Concubine who did it, he was about to die now, so he would rather kill the wrong person than let the guilty one go!
He will never let the murderer go!
Therefore, Emperor Wu Sheng issued several imperial edicts in succession.
The imperial concubine was given a foot of white silk to be buried with the emperor.
Crown Prince Yang Hanxiu was demoted to a commoner and exiled to the royal cemetery, where he was to guard the tomb for the rest of his life.
The throne was passed to the 29th prince, Yang Hanlin, who was assisted by the Prime Minister and the Empress Dowager ruled the country from behind the curtain.
Prince Qing Su Bei bid farewell and immediately left the capital, returning to his fiefdom Chuzhou to guard the western border.
Time was short, and Emperor Wusheng had only time to make these arrangements. The Imperial Noble Consort and the Crown Prince were both dealt with, and Su Beici was sent out of the capital, leaving him to guard the western border. As for whether Su Beici would rebel after returning to Chuzhou? He could no longer control it. Whether his son Yang Hanlin could secure the throne was also beyond his control. This was the only way.
Emperor Wu Sheng died just like that.
In the Eastern Palace, Yang Hanxiu received the imperial edict and thought he would be crowned emperor, but he did not expect that he would have to guard the imperial mausoleum for life. Yang Hanxiu gritted his teeth and decided to rebel.
In Bixiao Palace, the Imperial Noble Consort, who had also received the imperial edict, was ashen-faced. Buried alive, actually buried alive! Yang Yaokun was truly cruel!
Holding a white silk, the Imperial Noble Concubine hesitated. If she died, Lin'er would be the emperor, but Lin'er was only six years old, six years old!
Now her cousin is still imprisoned in the Dali Temple. If she goes there, how will Lin'er cope with this situation? The ambitious princes in various fiefdoms will definitely try to get rid of Lin'er.
She was worried, and besides, she didn't want to die!
The imperial concubine secretly made plans and decided to use a trick of using someone else as a substitute.
But before she could implement it, the palace was in chaos, and the prince led the imperial guards in a mutiny.
The Imperial Guards surrounded the palace and rounded up all the civil and military officials who were still inside. Yang Hanxiu took the initiative and rushed into the Bixiao Palace without saying a word. He not only hanged the Imperial Concubine, but also suffocated Yang Hanlin to death.
Then he lied with his eyes open: The Imperial Noble Consort was buried alive with Emperor Wusheng, and Yang Hanlin was so sad that he cried so hard that he couldn't catch his breath and suffocated to death.
Now that Emperor Wu Sheng and Yang Hanlin are dead, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day, so he, the crown prince, will preside over the government affairs, and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory will select an auspicious day to hold the coronation ceremony.
As for the imperial edict that ordered him to guard the imperial mausoleum, Yang Hanxiu burned it directly, pretending that there was no such edict.
Any civil or military official who jumped up and cursed Yang Hanxiu for treason was killed by the Imperial Guards.
After a few ministers were killed as a warning to others, the others just went along with it.
By launching a coup, Yang Hanxiu was able to come to power. Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, Yang Hanxiu could not find the imperial seal.
The jade seal mysteriously disappeared.
Yang Hanxiu initially stabilized the situation. On the other side, Su Beici, who had received the imperial edict, packed up and set off quickly back to Chuzhou to guard the western border.
After exiting the capital, Su Beici paused and looked back, a trace of regret welling up in his heart. Originally, he had planned to trick Fang Haoyi and Liu Du into thinking Yang Yixi knew about their affair, and then kill them to silence them. Then, he could easily pin the assassination and arson on them as well. As long as he could clear his name, dispel Yang Yixi's murderous intent, and then, relying on their marital relationship, slowly build her favor...
What a pity, that woman Yang Yixi actually ran away without following common sense!
Although the goal was not fully achieved, it is really a relief that the dog emperor is dead now!
This woman Fang Haoyi really surprised him.
The dog emperor was so cautious that even Master Kun, who seemed to be highly favored, could not find an opportunity to poison him and could only slowly give him the drug to make him addicted.
Fang Haoyi actually found an opportunity to poison the Dog Emperor and even implicated Yang Hanxiu. She is quite impressive.
Unfortunately, Liu Du was imprisoned in the Dali Temple, and she alone could not defeat Yang Hanxiu.
In general, Yang Hanxiu now controls the court, and this situation is still beneficial to him.
After leaving the capital, Yingba replaced him and led a large army to Chuzhou. Su Beici disguised himself, turned from open to secret, took a few confidants, and turned around and headed straight for Tongzhou.
Su Beici was very clear about one fact: he could not beat Yang Yixi, although he did not understand why Yang Yixi did not come to kill him directly in his previous life. After all, with her superb martial arts, she could have assassinated him if she really wanted to.
Regardless of the reason, this time, he chose to turn his enemy into a friend!
…
The drama in the palace was unfolding scene after scene. Lin Xiaoman, who was nestled in the cold palace, could only say: Alas, it has changed, everything has changed!
This bastard is really a troublemaker!
The entire palace was in turmoil.
No matter how turbulent the outside world is, I am at home, nestling in the cold palace. Lin Xiaoman holds her chin and worries silently. Alas, she has it so hard!
"Boss..." The dragon guard dressed in black was half-kneeling.
"Don't bother me, I'm just considering the right candidate." Lin Xiaoman waved his hand and explained impatiently, "Choosing an emperor is something we can't do carelessly. We must be cautious! I need to think carefully and choose carefully. Don't bother me!"
After sending Long Wei away, Lin Xiaoman continued to worry.
Why.
It is said that on that day, after the old emperor passed away, Crown Prince Yang Hanxiu led the Imperial Guards in a coup. The first thing she did was to steal the jade seal that she had been longing for, and then she attracted the Dragon Guards. She then beat up several Dragon Guard leaders, and finally she became the leader of the Dragon Guards.
When Yang Hanmo got the imperial seal, he became the successor to the emperor and the leader of the Dragon Guard. However, as a princess, she conquered the Dragon Guard with her strength and became the leader of the Dragon Guard, responsible for choosing an heir to the emperor.
Seriously, everyone’s last name is Yang!
Ah tui! Blatant sexism! Humph!
Well, now the imperial seal has become a hot potato. Who should she pass it to?
Give it to Prince Jing Yang Hanchu, God will definitely deal with her. Give it to Su Beici, No. 87 will definitely chop her down. Give it to her stepbrother Yang Hanmo, you will offend both sides!
Woo…
Forget it, she can take the jade seal and go farm.
