After Reincarnating, the Ice-Cold Prince Won’t Leave Me Alone

  Chapter 474 Such a good mansion is still ruined

  The sky gradually darkened, and the sound of clappers rang at midnight. The huge capital also lived up to the hustle and bustle of the daytime. The wide avenues were only occasionally visited by yamen servants who were watching the night.

  The city gate guard yawned, and secretly drank some wine with his companions in the duty room. After all, the night was long, and he had to stay awake to get through it.

  The two of them were chatting to the point of excitement, when they heard some movement downstairs, the two were startled, they hurriedly stood upright, and walked out of the duty room with a solemn face.

   Seeing someone coming, the two swallowed nervously.

   "Boss, why are you here in the middle of the night?"

   Thinking it was a surprise inspection, he hurriedly explained: "Brothers are not lazy, really!"

  The commander of the city gate captain glanced at the two of them, and didn't bother to talk about them. He said indifferently: "There is an order from above to seal the city gate. No one can open the door. Did you hear that?"

  The two looked at each other, and one of them boldly said strangely: "But General Lu led his troops out of the city yesterday, and I heard that if everything goes well, he will be back today and tomorrow, and..."

  The commander of the school captain of the city gate flashed his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "This is an order from the superior, and you can just follow the order and act on it."

   The two of them looked at the group of colleagues following behind the boss, and faintly felt that something was wrong, but they did not dare to disobey the orders of their superiors.

  …

  Imperial Palace.

  There was something in her heart, the queen was always tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep, she just sat up, sat for a while, and was going to see Jing and Di, tilting her head and shouting softly to the outside: "Xiuhe..."

  Called twice, but no one answered,

  The empress frowned strangely, Xiu He was her personal maid-in-waiting, usually the most careful and vigilant.

  She got out of bed with her shoes on, and lit the lamp. As soon as he raised his hand to open the bead curtain at the door, he froze. I saw the prince wearing an apricot-yellow python robe standing quietly outside for an unknown how long.

  The queen looked at the familiar eyebrows, this moment finally came!

   Opened his mouth, and finally only said: "Where is Xiuhe? What did you do to her?"

  There was an imperceptible sadness in the eyes of the prince, and then he raised his eyes and sneered: "It turns out that the queen mother is like those people. In the past two days, she no longer trusts her son."

  The queen remained silent. Looking at this child who I worked so hard to give birth to and raised with all my heart, and seeing him become like this, my heart feels like a knife is twisted, but I can't say a word.

The prince turned his face away stiffly, and said lightly: "The purpose of my coming here must be guessed by the mother. As long as the mother helps the son to find the jade seal, and then helps the son to ascend the throne, you will be the queen mother under one person in the future. My son can protect your prosperity and peace of mind for the rest of your life."

The queen finally spoke, she grabbed the prince's arm, choked up and said, "I don't ask you when it started. I beg you, mother-in-law, stop! It's still too late for you to stop now, and never leave the capital again." return."

  Hot tears fell on the back of his hand, and the prince looked at the woman in front of him who was crying without image. This was the most powerless despair of a mother facing her son who was about to make mistakes.

  The prince withdrew his hand indifferently, forcing himself to withdraw from the beautiful illusion,

   It was fundamentally wrong, the queen’s maternal love did not belong to him from the very beginning,

   "It seems that the queen mother is determined not to help the minister, so..."

  He clapped his hands, and a court lady came in with her head bowed, and he threw an imperial edict to the court lady:

   "Have the newly promoted chief **** send a letter to each of the master's residences, saying that His Majesty is awake and wants to summon the courtiers to discuss matters."

  The court lady respectfully accepted the imperial decree.

  The empress stared at the maid in shock: "Xiu He...you..."

  Xiu He glanced away, not daring to look at her, and hurried out of the bedroom holding the imperial decree.

The queen clutched the bead curtain tightly with her fingers, "Xiu He has been with me for ten years. At that time, it was Qi Yu who casually said that the little palace lady looked clever and lovable, so I brought her to my side. So...you are so I've already started thinking about…”

   How old was he then! Only eleven or twelve years old!

  The queen always thought that the position of the crown prince made him lose his eyes and change his temperament, but maybe, this child is bad from the root!

  The crown prince didn't want to talk any more nonsense, so he waved his hands to help the queen walk out of the palace.

The queen did not struggle in vain, but murmured to his back: "Where are you taking me? Qinzheng Hall? And those ministers in the court, those are the humerus ministers of the Great Xia, and they cannot be killed. of!"

  The prince sneered, as long as he sat in that position, how many ministers would he want?

  Then the palace door was pushed open, and a row of guards in heavy armor blocked the way of the group of people, and a female hidden guard protecting the queen also appeared.

  The prince glanced at the head of the man with a serious and upright face, and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Fan Jingzhong!"

   Turning to look at the queen, she laughed mockingly: "It turns out that the queen mother has been prepared for a long time, and she just waited for the son to come over to catch the turtle in the urn!"

   Probably the pain has been a lot these two days. At this time, hearing him say such heartbreaking words, the queen no longer knows how to face this son. She unconsciously wanted to explain, but what she said was:

   "No one forced you to come here, you chose this path yourself!"

  The prince looked at the Qionglou palace under the night, and tried not to look at her: "The queen mother thinks that these people can stop the orphan? Why don't you tell me that the commander of the Imperial Army who is in charge of the safety of the imperial city has long been an orphan."

   After he finished speaking, he waved his hand to the distance, and the two sides began to fight.

   Soon, blood mist filled the air. The queen has been pampered and pampered since she was a child, how have she ever seen such a scene? She looked away, almost gagging.

  Holding the veil tightly with her fingers, comforting herself over and over again,

   It's all right, according to the analysis of several generals, several vassal kings acted hastily, and the rebels gathered were not successful. As long as she can last until General Lu brings someone back...

  …

  The new eunuch, Eunuch Pang, ordered people to hold the imperial decree and read it out one by one. Soon all the high-ranking officials in the capital received the order to enter the palace.

  Prime Minister's Mansion. After the father-in-law was sent away, Prime Minister Xu stood in the front hall for a while, and called the eldest son:

   "The situation in the palace is unknown, and it may be inauspicious or inauspicious for the father to go here. You take good care of the family. If it is a last resort, try to send a few children away."

  Under such circumstances, the sudden call from the palace is obviously weird.

   Xu's parents hesitated and said: "Since we know that there is danger, father, you..."

  Prime Minister Xu interrupted his unfinished words with a wave of his hand, looked in the direction of the palace, and said softly:

   "Since Your Majesty appointed me as the prime minister and enjoyed the honor of being under ten thousand people, you should take on the responsibility under this honor."

  The most important point is that the reverence for imperial power is almost etched into the bones of the people nowadays. Unless you want to rebel, you will rarely resist the order.

  Most of the other mansions were like this, and some of them had arranged for their family members to leave quietly in advance.

  …

   On the other side, the queen thought that this **** massacre would last for a long time, but it stopped after only half a quarter of an hour. It's not how strong one of them is!

   Instead...Fan Jingzhong...rebelled! Or to put it another way... He was the prince's man from the beginning.

The prince took the lead and walked towards the Palace of Qinzheng, but still did not look back, "Is the queen mother surprised? You think the people in the palace are untrustworthy, so you called someone from the army, and this person is Feng Lisheng's subordinate, what do you think?" How should a man be so loyal!"

  He sneered: "Most people in this world are selfish. Fan Jingzhong has long been dissatisfied with Feng Lisheng. Who let the little emperor rule the army too strictly, and cut off the way for some people to enrich themselves!"

  The empress walked forward silently driven by the maid. What she saw in the past two days almost subverted her perception of the world.

  Finally arrived at the Hall of Qinzheng, when the watchman had already beaten the second watch drum.

  A fierce dispute was heard from afar, and almost all the summoned courtiers came, but when everyone entered the Palace of Qinzheng, the door of the palace was suddenly closed. The commander of the Forbidden Army led people to seal the surrounding water. Although a small number of officials had expected it, they couldn't help feeling anxious.

  When the prince led the queen in, the dispute stopped abruptly. The instinct of monarchs and ministers still makes them salute subconsciously.

  The crown prince sat on the chair in the middle and slightly raised his hand: "Excuse me, everyone."

  Chu Yushi looked at the queen with his arms crossed, and he, who had always been upright, immediately asked: "I don't know what the prince called the ministers to enter the palace late at night?"

  The prince smiled slightly. In front of this group of ministers, he finally no longer had to pretend to be gentle and humble:

"You know why you are asking, right? Now my father is suffering from a stroke, and you all know that it is difficult to recover from stroke. But a country cannot be without a king for a day. According to the rules of the ancestors, the lonely prince should inherit the great rule. Please also invite a few adults to draw up a plan. An imperial edict, so that it can be announced to the world."

For such a big event like passing on the throne, the edict must be used, and the edict is different from the imperial decree. It is to be announced to the world. It must be drafted by several important ministers and elders, and then finalized and submitted by the university. The emperor will be fine after reading it. , I copied it myself, and then stamped it with a jade seal. After use, it will be archived as a historical document for future generations to refer to.

  Therefore, unless the country is built by oneself, an emperor without an imperial edict is equivalent to a married couple without a marriage certificate and no intermediary.

Chu Yushi was startled by his shamelessness, so he didn't suppress his temper, and said in a stiff voice: "Your Majesty, why did you have a stroke, the prince, don't you know? Unless your Majesty personally orders, otherwise, this imperial edict, I will not write it... "

  The crown prince interrupted with a sneer: "It's really a toast and no fine wine!"

   At the same time as the voice fell, he quickly pulled out the stick and stabbed directly at Chu Yushi's heart. The crowd backed away in surprise. Fortunately, Chu Yushi knew a little about martial arts, so he narrowly avoided the crucial point.

  The point of the sword pierced his ribs, and blood trickled down onto the smooth ground. The prince gently sent the hand holding the hilt of the sword forward, with a casual attitude:

   "Just a little more force alone, Master Chu, can make your soul return to the west. How about it, how does it feel to be on the verge of death?"

  Chu Yushi's face gradually became clear, but he gritted his teeth and remained silent.

   "What a tough guy! Don't worry, come one by one until your bones soften." After saying that, his palms tightened slightly.

  Seeing that the long sword was about to pass through Chu Yushi's body, the queen couldn't bear it any longer, and cried out in surprise: "Stop."

   "Master Chu is a clean and honest official. He has done many practical things for the court. He even taught you homework. How can you kill him?"

  The prince seems to have heard some big joke: "As long as you stand alone on the throne of God. As long as you think alone, you can have many Chu Yushi."

  The queen took a deep breath: "Say it! What do you want so that you don't kill innocent people indiscriminately."

  The prince seemed to be waiting for her words, he drew out his long sword at will, and said in a low voice: "Then please tell the son, where is the jade seal?"

  …

at the same time. Su Wangfu. From the guards to the servants in the mansion are all Lianjiazi, and soon noticed the strange atmosphere in the capital, the usual yamen servants patrolling this street were gone. It was surprisingly quiet all around.

  Feng Shuo sent people out to investigate the situation. At this moment, the sound of heavy footsteps suddenly came from the silent night. Everyone in the mansion was on alert immediately. Thousands of people came, including soldiers who were dissatisfied with Feng Lisheng's jurisdiction, and some vicious gangsters.

  They lay in ambush early in the outskirts of the city. When the appointed time came, he entered the city smoothly under the deliberate release of the commander of the school captain of the city gate, and went straight to the direction of King Su's mansion.

   I heard that there are countless warehouses in Su Wang's mansion, and they plan to take advantage of the chaos to burn, kill and loot.

  The people in Kesu Palace were obviously not vegetarians either. Xu Daniu commanded everyone to fight with a calm expression. The guards and servants were not only not afraid, but were very excited. After being idle for the past few months, without going out for missions, I can finally fight seriously!

  Even Feng Shuo eagerly joined in. The people outside didn't know the danger inside, they were still banging on the door, climbing the ladder and shouting wildly,

  When both sides... oh no...one side is about to be crushed, everyone doesn't know that there is a huge crisis hidden in the dark.

  It is about two miles away from Su Wangfu. A group of seven or eight people stood furtively in the corner, and a sound of heavy horseshoes approached. They saw a specially improved elongated carriage approaching. The carriage was covered with thick cloth and pulled by eight strong and tall horses. The weight of what is pulled is definitely not light.

  As the carriage stopped, a group of people standing in the shadows walked out, and the leading woman wearing a veil was Su Qing. She ordered people to lift the thick cloth on the car, and removed the fender, revealing a trumpet-shaped copper object nearly three feet long.

  Su Qing looked in the direction of King Su's Mansion, because of the fierce battle. Fires lit up all around the mansion, illuminating the row upon row of houses in the mansion. I heard that Shen Mingjiao spent a lot of effort in arranging the various gardens in the mansion.

   Such a good mansion is still ruined.

  She glanced at the large object on the carriage again. This is only the first generation of cannon, and the test has not fully passed, but it is enough to destroy a Su Wangfu.

   Those who besieged Su Wang's mansion in the distance were just a cover, the purpose was to distract the attention of the group of people in the mansion. After all, this thing is no better than later generations, and it is more troublesome to operate.

   She came up with this idea, and the prince helped to perfect it. The crown prince wanted to get rid of Feng Shuo completely, but she... simply wanted to destroy the home of Shen Mingjiao and Feng Lisheng.
