Chapter 539 Gong Bianyi
Only Prince Nanfeng has a complicated expression, and Murong Li succeeds to the throne. Then Su Yue is the queen. It is impossible for him to do anything to the queen of a country.
The emperor looked at the people with different expressions on his highness's face and said slowly: "I am not feeling well. Today, my fourth prince Murong Li has succeeded to the throne. I am abdicating the throne. I have spoken in a sincere way. I hope that everyone here will not have any doubts."
"I obey the order!"
All the ministers fell to their knees again.
"My lords, please make peace."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my Emperor!"
All the ministers stood up after speaking in unison.
The emperor then went back and sat down, waiting for the ceremony to begin.
Murong Li and his wife went to prepare for the ceremony.
In the palace, King Huai'an looked at the backs of Murong Li and the two men, and sneered in his heart. He wanted to succeed to the throne today, haha, it depends on who succeeds.
The four major families sat together in silence. Before today, the four major families had their last meeting, and the topic was still who would be the emperor if they succeeded today.
But there was no consensus that everyone wanted to sit in that seat.
The reason why the Lin family refused to do so was that Concubine Lin was pregnant and if she gave birth to a son, her son would inherit the throne.
If they agree to be the emperor of the other three families, neither the Lin family nor the Lin concubines will end well, and they will definitely be the first to be slaughtered.
The reason why the head of the Zhao family refused to give in was that the Zhao family was the head of the four major families and had the strength to be the leader of the Xifeng Kingdom.
The Zhang family and the Li family were also willing to fight. Their strength was not inferior to that of the Zhao family, so the negotiation eventually collapsed.
The four major families finally broke up.
Today it depends on each person's abilities.
Fourth Master Lin came here on behalf of the Lin family, but after he came back last night, he discussed it with the old lady, and they made a decision, that is, to stand aside and wait and see what happens. They are going to be the oriole.
They relied on Concubine Lin. Once Murong Li died, the emperor had no suitable prince to succeed him except for the children in the bellies of the concubines in the harem.
The royal family would not shamelessly come out to be the emperor at this time, but would elect one to be the regent, and get rid of all the emperor's concubines before they have children. When the emperor completely has no heirs, they will choose someone to take the throne.
During this period, the Lin family tried their best to protect the dragon seed in Lin Concubine's belly. Even if the prince born was turned into a puppet, the Lin family could develop into a solid backing for Lin Concubine.
Only in this way can the Lin family be truly preserved, otherwise it will be fatal no matter the road.
In fact, no matter how the four major families plan, they are all pawns in the hands of King Huai'an.
How could he not know the thoughts of the four major families? He had already prepared a road to death for the four major families.
At this time, in Huayang Palace, a group of men in black jumped from the roof, killing all the people guarding the house with lightning speed, and then killed Lin Concubine in the palace.
Lin Bin held her stomach and looked at the man in black approaching her in horror. Looking at the gleaming long sword, Lin Bi's calves softened and she knelt on the ground with a plop, begging the man in black: "Please
, please don’t kill me, I can give you whatever you want, there are a lot of gold and silver treasures in this palace, I will give them to you, I just ask you not to kill me..."
The man in black covered his face, only showing a pair of eyes. After listening to what Lin Bin said, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then darkened quickly, but then he flashed his light and struck Lin Bin's chest with a sword.
Throw it out.
"Puch!"
The long sword stabbed Lin Bin in the chest.
"ah!"
Lin Bin screamed in horror and looked at the sword on her chest in disbelief. She even begged for mercy. Why should he kill her?
Concubine Lin felt weak and fainted from fright, but she did not die.
The man in black stepped forward quickly, held the handle of the sword and stirred it hard. Lin Bin's body twitched several times and she died completely.
He pulled out his long sword, wiped off the blood on the sword, and quickly searched Lin Bin's body. He found some very valuable things and stuffed them into his arms. Then he quickly flew up to the room and asked other people in black.
Someone blew a whistle, and then a group of men in black flew away.
At this time, the Huayang Palace was in a mess, with traces of being rummaged through. All the precious items in the house had been rummaged through by the shadows, leaving corpses on the ground.
But when the men in black left, they alerted the secret guards left by Murong Li. They didn't expect that someone would attack the pregnant empress in the palace at this time. They quickly called over and fought with the men in black.
stand up.
The men in black thought of going to the next palace to deal with the emperor's pregnant concubine, but suddenly a group of secret guards appeared to fight with them. Seeing that something was not going well, they immediately withdrew.
Their mission was to get rid of the pregnant concubines in the palace, the most important of which was Concubine Lin. Fortunately, Concubine Lin had been killed by them, so the mission was completed.
When the secret guards came to Huayang Palace, they saw only corpses and those of Lin Concubine lying on the ground. They only frowned and then left to lurk outside other concubines' palaces to protect them.
The purpose of the men in black was to have a pregnant concubine in the emperor's harem. They understood that this was to eliminate the emperor's heirs and leave the emperor without an heir.
The secret guards curled up their lips. The person behind them was really naive. Can he kill his master today?
That's a daydream.
At noon, there were several people lined up in front of the altar in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
"Please, Your Majesty!"
An official from the Ministry of Etiquette sang.
The emperor stepped forward, personally held a stick of incense, and then bowed and said: "My ancestors, I am not fit to take care of the affairs of the state, and my unworthy descendant Murong Bo will pass the throne to the fourth son Murong Li... please ancestors."
Protect me, Murong, for eternity, and keep the Xifeng Kingdom peaceful and peaceful!"
After saying that, he bowed deeply.
"Please come forward, King Li."
As soon as the emperor returned, the officials of the Ministry of Rites sang again.
Murong Li stepped forward, took the incense from the official's hand, and was about to insert it into the altar.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Suddenly three darts flew towards Murong Li's upper, middle and lower directions.
Murong Li locked the three darts with his consciousness, and the darts glowed green, obviously they were poisoned.
"Escort!"
General Wei, who was standing next to the emperor, belatedly felt the sound of the dart flying through the air. He shouted and protected the emperor with his body.
Before worshiping, Murong Li asked General Wei to come in to protect the emperor. This was obviously to give him a chance to perform meritorious service. Otherwise, Yueying and Hongying could protect the emperor, as well as the disguised secret guards, all dressed as eunuchs today.
At their side.
"Swipe, swipe, swipe..."
After General Wei shouted, the guards drew their sabers and protected the emperor and Murong Li and Su Yue in the middle.
But the dart was much faster than them and flew towards Murong Li one step earlier.
But Murong Li was not afraid of the darts at all and stood motionless.
"My lord, be careful!"
When General Wei saw this, he was shocked and shouted in horror.
Chapter completed!
