Du Ming'an's eyes were stunned. Although he had already guessed it in his mind, he was still a little surprised when he saw Zhao Yunzhu being so frank.
"Master Du, I hope you can maintain a neutral attitude until my prince returns."
Zhao Yunzhu's eyes darkened. All she wanted now was for Du Mingan to not interfere in this matter.
After all, he currently holds military power.
Du Ming'an hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Zhao Yunzhu looked at Du Ming'an with gratitude and personally saw him off from Prince An's Mansion.
At present, the court was controlled by the pregnant Concubine Lan. Zhao Yunzhu changed into plain clothes and entered the palace with her maids.
However, before entering the palace, she asked someone to spread the word about the affair between Concubine Lan and General Song.
The emperor's coffin was placed in the mourning hall, with only palace servants guarding it.
In the court, Concubine Lan was arguing fiercely with the ministers. At present, Concubine Lan was the only one who was pregnant in the harem, but the gender of the baby was still unknown, and it was also unknown whether the baby could be born.
How could the ministers dare to entrust the country to Concubine Lan's womb?
Moreover, Prime Minister Lan had previously had an affair with Empress Dowager Liu, and everyone witnessed it with their own eyes.
Although the matter was later suppressed.
But everyone knows it in the end.
With such a father, how could the officials trust Concubine Lan, who came from the Lan family?
But now, General Song and his troops surrounded Chang'an City in the name of Concubine Lan.
Du Ming'an led his army and waited thirty miles outside the city.
At this time, all the officials were in a stalemate with General Song. The rumor spread that the child in Concubine Lan's belly was General Song's. When this matter reached the court, the royal bloodline was beyond doubt.
Someone immediately stood up and wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly. General Song drew his sword and pressed it against the neck of the minister who stood up, his eyes full of coercion.
"What's wrong? General Song is feeling guilty?" The minister's eyes were filled with disdain. "Could it be that the child in Concubine Lan's belly is really General Song's grandson?"
The minister's eyes were filled with mockery. General Song was furious and threatened, "If you dare to speak nonsense and slander me again, I will kill you with my sword!"
The minister did not show the slightest fear in the face of General Song's pressure.
Whispers gradually came from the court. Seeing this, General Song was afraid that the situation would become uncontrollable in the next second.
He raised his sword, looked at the minister coldly, and pierced his chest with it.
Blood splattered all over the court. The minister's eyes were ferocious, with bright red blood stains on the corners of his lips, and he fell to the ground.
General Song drew back his sword, his eyes filled with disdain. He swept the sword towards the crowd, "Do you have any objections?"
The officials never expected that someone would die.
Everyone showed a trace of fear on their faces and did not dare to look directly at General Song, for fear that they would become the next innocent soul to die in vain.
"General Song is so majestic!"
A cold sneer was heard outside the hall, and everyone turned around to look towards the hall entrance.
I saw Concubine Yun from Prince An's Mansion dressed in plain clothes, walking slowly towards the palace.
She was followed by maids and servants.
"Concubine Yun, how can a mere concubine like you be allowed to make irresponsible remarks in the court!" General Song sneered, the blood-dripping sword in his hand hanging by his side.
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint General Song today!"
Zhao Yunzhu glanced at General Song and didn't take him seriously at all.
"We have all the evidence, come and apprehend General Song, General Song Jr., and this demon concubine who has confused the royal bloodline!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a group of guards rushed in from outside the hall.
All the officials watched in horror as the sudden changes occurred in the court. They were horrified and quickly retreated.
General Song had never expected that Cheng Yaojin would appear on the road.
But in just a moment, General Song and others were imprisoned.
Concubine Lan still wanted to argue, but when Zhao Yunzhu came with witnesses, she was completely panicked.
Finally, as Concubine Lan and others were taken away, the hall returned to peace again.
The officials have not yet come to their senses.
"I'm sorry to have caused trouble to you all. I will withdraw for the time being. I will not interfere in the affairs of the court."
Zhao Yunzhu, with her pregnant belly bulging, bowed to all the officials with a look of regret on her face. After she finished speaking, she turned around and left without a trace. However, when she reached the door of the Yangxin Palace, she suddenly stopped.
He turned slowly and glanced at the stunned officials in the hall, "My lords, please be patient. My prince will be back soon."
As she spoke, she raised the corners of her lips slightly, and this time she turned around and stepped over the threshold.
He left the hall without any hesitation.
Whatever she wanted to do, she has now achieved her goal.
If there are those in the court who are not smart and want to have other thoughts.
Then there is no need to keep such people.
Zhao Yunzhu was resting in a side hall when someone approached her and asked, "Concubine Yun, what about Lord Song..."
"After all, this is a matter of royal dignity. We should tell the public that General Song and General Song died suddenly, and that Imperial Concubine Lan, deeply in love with the Emperor, followed him into the afterlife."
Soon, Concubine Lan's coffin was placed next to the emperor's coffin.
News of the wise king's death also came.
Right now, Prince Xian’s mansion is surrounded by people.
The emperor's coffin remained in the palace for ten days. The officials argued over the choice of the emperor. Some suggested adopting an emperor from the clan, while others suggested letting Prince An sit on the throne.
Zhao Yunzhu entered the palace at dawn and left at dusk.
The most she did all day was to listen to the maids telling her about the affairs of the court.
As for the ministers who did not support Prince An, Zhao Yunzhu sent people to bring their relatives into the palace to talk to them all day long.
After a while, people were in panic.
All the officials finally figured out some of the clues, and the atmosphere in the court changed immediately.
The entire court was filled with voices supporting Prince An's ascension to the throne.
Zhao Yunzhu was extremely satisfied with the result.
But some people were restless and had thoughts that they shouldn't have. Within a few days, the rebellious generals were about to reach Chang'an City.
Fortunately, Du Mingan was lurking in the dark.
After a great war, the ministers in the court were naturally replaced.
Prince An finally returned. He had already received news about the current situation in Chang'an.
Before he had fully recovered, he rode his horse at full speed back to Chang'an.
When he entered the palace, all the officials knelt to welcome him. Prince An declined for a while, but finally ascended the throne with a heartache.
The late emperor's coffin was finally buried.
Prince An is still living in Prince An's Mansion for the time being, and all the servants in Prince An's Mansion have a hint of joy on their faces.
Everyone was happy that their master had such an opportunity.
However, due to many things happening in Chang'an recently, it is not convenient to hold a celebration banquet.
