From Shadowguard to Queen [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 105 105

One hundred and five

This rebellion lasted for more than ten hours, from daytime to late night, and then to the dawn of the next day.

You Shu was exhausted, and almost lost the long sword in his hand several times, all relying on Xiao Weixin to support him, there were a lot of rebels and everyone wanted to survive, so he tried his best to struggle like a trapped animal , they were overwhelmed for a while.

Fortunately, at dawn, reinforcements finally arrived.

Xiao Weiming was dressed in a crimson battle robe, leading an army of [-] to attack, just when the first ray of sunlight fell on his body in the early morning, the armor reflected the sunlight, and he looked like a god of war bathed in holy light, majestic and majestic .

It only took half an hour for the reinforcements to wipe out all the remnants and defeated generals, leaving no one alive. The culprit, Xia Maoan, and his followers were all captured alive. There was blood everywhere outside the Taiqing Hall, and the corpses were piled high. Dismounting from the horse, he walked carefully in front of Xiao Weixin, knelt down on one knee: "The end will be late."

Xiao Weixin raised his hand to wipe the blood on his face, and stretched out his hand to help him up: "It's good as soon as you come."

"You clean up here, and the rest will follow me into the palace."

After that, he looked back at You Shu, and asked in a low voice, "Can you still hold on?"

You Shu shook his numb hand, put the sword back into the scabbard and replied, "Of course."

So, they brought a group of elite soldiers into the Taiqing Palace to search, but they couldn't find Xiao Weishen, "Could it be that he ran away?"

You Shu was a little puzzled, but the Taiqing Hall was so big, where could he go?

Xiao Weixin stood in the hall with a gloomy expression for a while, and then immediately sent people all over the palace to look for him. He wanted to take the opportunity to kill Xiao Weishen in the chaos, and then push the matter to Xia Maoan as a matter of course, but now Xiao Weixin Shenren is not in the hall, so it will be inconvenient for him to take advantage of the situation.

At the same time, several teams were sent out to look for the emperor, You Shu thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "Why don't we go to the Imperial Garden to have a look?"

"Imperial Garden?" Xiao Weixin turned around, "He wouldn't be so stupid to run there."

But in the original book, Xiao Weishen was indeed killed there, under the canna planted with the concubine's favorite during her lifetime. Although the background was different, You Shu wondered if he was still there.

"Go and have a look, anyway, there is no one here, even the secret passage has been found."

Xiao Weixin was not in a good mood, but he still listened to You Shu's suggestion, and went to the Royal Garden without much hope.The road to the imperial garden was also piled up with corpses of rebels, and the smell of blood was so strong that You Shu couldn't help covering his mouth and nose as he walked forward, thinking that even if the place was washed with water for three days, the smell would not be able to get rid of it.

After walking for half a stick of incense, they finally arrived at the Imperial Garden. Xiao Weixin let people spread out to search, and he also walked in holding You Shu's hand.The Royal Garden during the day is much more beautiful than at night. This place has not been damaged by the rebels, so the flowers and trees are almost unscathed, swaying in the cold wind.

Going a little further in, they saw two figures in the middle of the garden.

The queen was sitting facing the table, with neither sad nor happy expression on her face, and the person sitting opposite her seemed to be Xiao Weishen that everyone was looking for.

"Here!" You Shu couldn't help reminding others loudly, "Come here!"

Xiao Weixin settled down, walked up to Xiao Weishen, and pretended to test: "Brother Huang?"

However, Xiao Weishen who was sitting with his back facing him did not reply, Xiao Weixin silently clenched the dagger in his sleeve, and took two steps forward, the man remained motionless.You Shu sensed something was wrong, stepped forward and pushed violently, and the man in the bright yellow dragon robe immediately fell to the ground like a puddle of soft meat.

It turned out that it was already a dead person.

Xiao Weixin squatted down|, turned the man over, it was indeed Xiao Weishen, but his face was purple and his lips were black and blue, he looked like he was poisoned.

Someone killed Xiao Weishen before him.

You Shu subconsciously looked at the queen who had never spoken, but the queen noticed his gaze, turned around slowly to meet him, and said after a while: "I killed it."

It's impossible not to be shocked, You Shu almost thought she was crazy.

Even a three-year-old child knows what it means to her to kill her husband with her own hands, and she is still the king of a country. Even if she cooperates with her father, there is no need to do it herself. scold her.

Xiao Weixin looked up at her, and said coldly: "What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting." The queen slowly stood up from the stool, the phoenix crown on her head shook slightly with her movements, she raised her hand to take off the phoenix crown, and threw it on the ground, her eyebrows and eyes drooping as if she was caught without a fight: " I have nothing to say."

Perhaps no one in this world can understand what she is thinking. She already knew that her father was defeated and killed the current emperor with her own hands, but there is still no sense of loss or fear on her face, she is as dull as a dummy.

You Shu watched her being taken down, and said blankly, "She...is a very strange person."

Xiao Weixin didn't reply, he just stared at Xiao Weishen who had lost his breath on the ground, his expression was calm, he held the dagger in his sleeve for a long time, and then said softly: "Unfortunately, I can't do it myself."

"It's a pity." You Shu sighed, "But this way you won't have to bear the charge of murdering your brother, and future generations won't find any evidence for scribbling."

Even if Xiao Weixin has made complete preparations, enough to let him get out of it innocently, if someone wants to deliberately discredit him in the future and finds any clues, it will be bad for him.It would be better to be like now, all the actions are clean and reasonable, and nothing is stained in the hands.

The queen's move simply paved a bright road for Xiao Weixin to sit on the dragon chair, and relieved him of all worries.

Maybe, she really has feelings for him.

You Shu thought silently.

Although the queen killed the emperor with her own hands shocked everyone, but when they thought of her identity, everyone could understand. It must be that the Xia family thought they were safe, so the father and daughter cooperated with each other, one rebelled in the palace, and the other Killing her husband with poison, so as to ensure peace of mind when she ascends the throne in the future, this is too vicious.

Without the emperor in charge, there is an urgent need for a new emperor in the palace, and the number of candidates is very limited.

Among the few remaining princes who are eligible to be selected, Yong Wang Xiao Weijing was the first to announce his withdrawal and made every effort to guarantee the success of King Ling, while Qin Wang was even more willing to support his elder brother, the three princes left by the late emperor, Both of them agreed with King Ling, and the courtiers didn't dare to say anything, not to mention that King Ling had indeed contributed to the suppression of the rebellion this time.

Next, the brothers and sisters of the Yang family were the first to express their sincerity to King Mausoleum as ministers, and Shen Qingyu, headed by the civil servants, voluntarily assisted the new emperor to ascend the throne. affairs of state.

The rest of the courtiers looked at each other, except for the particularly stubborn veterans, almost all of them were in favor of King Ling's ascension to the throne.

In the end, it was Liu Wang who made the decision.

As the late emperor's brother, this king Liu has been acting in a low-key manner for these years, rarely appearing in the public's sight without incident, but this time he came out in person to establish the new emperor. The emperor's uncle has a very high say in who can sit on the dragon chair.

With him to speak, the position of King Ling is justifiable.

This matter was settled under the witness of civil and military officials.

Although time is tight, everything still has to be done according to the rules. The Secretary of the Department of Documents must not miss anything. Xiao Weixin, as the quasi-emperor, will temporarily live in the East Palace. He will not be officially recognized until the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites have drawn up all the procedures. .

Emergency edicts were handed out one after another. All officials, big and small, knew that the world would change hands, and the common people also knew that the dynasty would change.

The bloodbath in the palace has been washed for a long time and can’t be finished, so I can only repaint the walls while the weather is fine, to cover up those unsightly things. Why nothing has changed, yet everything has changed.

You Shu naturally also wanted to live in the East Palace together, and the bedroom was arranged in Xiao Weixin's bedroom. Xiao Weixin never thought of hiding it, and declared to everyone that he loves and cares for him openly, without shy away from it anyone.

You Shu was both happy and stunned, he knew that Xiao Weixin was indeed a very responsible lover, but he was afraid of what others would think of him, especially those civil servants, who would angrily accuse him of being the new emperor, but they had a special relationship with this man bell.

He stood under the high wall and looked up at the sky. He didn't feel it in the palace before, but when he went to the palace and stood at this place to see it, he realized that the city wall was really high. Even if you go up, you can still see patches of red walls and green tiles, as if you can never see the end.

If there is no accident, his life in the next few decades may be trapped under this high wall.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is no difference, the palace is just a smaller cage, but before he felt that he was not free, but now he is voluntary.He can't get freedom, and neither can Xiao Weixin, he doesn't want him to sit alone.

Suddenly there was a fox fur coat on his shoulders, and You Shu knew who it was without looking back.

"Why are you standing here alone?" Xiao Weixin's tone was somewhat reproachful, "Didn't I tell you to rest in the room."

You Shu turned around and smiled at him, the sharpness between his brows melted into clouds at that moment, "I'm looking at the sky, the weather is good today."

"That's right." Xiao Weixin stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his shoulders, and looked up together with him.

There is a clear sky on the top. Although they can only see one side of the world, they can imagine its boundlessness.

"In three days, I will be enthroned." Xiao Weixin said suddenly.

The Ministry of Etiquette hurriedly drew up the documents, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs hurriedly made a dragon robe that fit, and everything was almost ready.

It's just that after ten days, the owner of that seat will be changed again.

"Yeah..." You Shu sighed, "We are going to celebrate our first New Year in the palace."

The second day after ascending the throne is the first day of the Lunar New Year, which has a very good meaning.
