Everyone watched in stunned silence as the empress held the Emperor's Sword. The bright red blood gathered on the sword's surface, which was shimmering with cold light, and dripped along the edge of the sword and onto the gold bricks in the palace.

But Mianshou's head rolled to the ground, and his kneeling headless body shook, and fell to the ground with a "thud".

The palace maids and eunuchs were even more frightened, but they did not dare to scream and rushed into Tianyan, causing fatal disasters. Many of them covered their mouths with their hands, and one even fainted.

Xining looked at the sword. This Emperor's Sword had been on the shelf for many years and had been used as a decoration. Unexpectedly, it was quite sharp.

After sheathing the sword, he turned to look at his head on the ground: "Put it in a box and follow me to Chongde Hall."

Chongde Hall is the place where the emperor discusses political affairs. Xining sat on the dragon chair and said: "Bring the jade seal passed down to the country!"

The eunuch with the palm seal immediately placed the jade seal on the desk on the tray and brought it over with both hands.

It's such a big box, put on the red paint box, and repeatedly brush the red paint on the copper embryo dozens of times. Brush it once and wait until it is completely dry before brushing it again. When a thick layer condenses on the embryo, use a knife to carve it out and carve out the layers.

Layer pattern. The top of the box is double dragons and beads. The body of the box is a large peony, showing the style of an empress.

Xining held the top of the box with both hands and opened it. The national seal inside was not small, carved from a single piece of Hetian white jade.

She grabbed the national seal and looked around, but couldn't find anything: "Look for a piece of cloth, any kind of cloth will do."

The eunuch of the Palm Print reacted quickly. Those who can serve the king closely are naturally smart and diligent. He immediately put down the plate, took out the sweat towel from his sleeves, and handed it over respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is your new servant.

Added, never used."

Xining took the sweat towel, briefly wrapped the national seal, put it under his feet, kicked it with his heel, and kicked the national seal under the chair.

Before everyone could recover, they heard the empress’ order: “Open the palace gate and welcome Prince Duan!”

ah?

The palace gate was closed tightly, and the rebels took the siege dragon pillar and banged against the gate. The palace gate has three layers, and this is the last layer. As long as this door is broken, they can enter the palace.

Suddenly someone shouted: "Your Majesty has a decree, open the city gate and welcome King Duan!"

The person shouting had a loud voice, fearing that the other party wouldn't hear, so he opened his gong-like voice and shouted twice.

Not only that, even arrows are no longer fired from the towers.

Huh??? The rebels who were attacking the city were stunned for a moment. They attacked the city just to open the city gate. If the city gate was opened on its own initiative, why would they fight?

King Duan, who was riding behind, raised his hand to signal to stop first.

After a while, the city gate opened as expected, and both the left and right doors were opened wide.

A group of forbidden soldiers walked out from the door. The leader was tall and sturdy, and he was dressed in armor, like a heavenly soldier.

After approaching, he knelt down and clasped his fists: "Wei Heng, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, is here to greet King Duan in accordance with His Majesty's imperial decree."

Guard of honor? What kind of guard of honor are these 50,000 murderous rebels?

A guard of honor is a guard of honor. It seems that the empress still wants room for relaxation. Now that the palace door is open, let's go in and see what she wants.

So King Duan rode his horse and led the rebels through the last defensive palace gate.

Prince Duan is riding a horse, and Wei Heng is holding the horse in front. They look so harmonious. The number of people and horses behind Prince Duan is hundreds of times more than the imperial army that greets him.

King Duan deliberately asked: "You are the deputy commander, what about the commander?"

Wei Heng replied: "Commander Zhang ate a whole boiled elbow for dinner. It was too greasy and made him feel upset. He was afraid of bumping into His Highness Prince Duan, so he did not greet him."

He had eaten an elbow and had a stomachache. At this time, Zhang Tong was lying in a pile of corpses behind the second palace gate, with his head split into two pieces.

King Duan's guards, armed with swords, guarded the left and right. At this time, the palace was very calm. Only when the army entered, the pace became a little orderly. There was no one in the palace along the way. The calmer it became,

The more likely it is that there is a hidden murderous intention.

King Duan asked again tentatively: "How is your Majesty doing now?"

Wei Heng still replied calmly: "Your Majesty is waiting for His Royal Highness Prince Duan at Chongde Hall."

Chongde Hall, Hehe, is it telling him to pay attention to his moral conduct and not to do the following?

When he arrived at the entrance of Chongde Hall, Wei Heng turned around and pulled the reins: "King Duan, please dismount and enter the hall to face the saint."

After King Duan got off his horse, his trusted aide came forward and whispered: "Your Highness, be careful of fraud."

King Duan thought for a moment and raised his hand: "No problem, I trust Your Majesty."

Then he turned his head and whispered: "Call hundreds of good men to follow me in."

Xining sat on the dragon chair, holding the Emperor's Sword in his hand like a crutch, with the top of the scabbard propped on the ground. He waited quietly.

A group of palace maids and eunuchs stood left and right according to their tastes. Even though these palace servants were carefully selected and had seen some scenes before, some of them could not help but tremble.

There are rebels outside, and they will definitely die if they come in. Who is not afraid of death? In fact, at the critical moment, everyone is afraid of death.

The door of Chongde Hall was open. In the past, every morning, ministers would enter from there one by one to go to court to discuss matters. But today it was opened at midnight, and the people who arrived were treacherous ministers and traitors.

When King Duan entered with his sword in hand and looked carefully, Xi Ning couldn't help but cheer.

King Duan was extremely tall and handsome. His eyes were like stars and his steps were steady as he walked. He looked like he was the king of the world. No wonder everyone said that King Duan had the legacy of the founding king, but it was a pity that he was a concubine.

At this time, King Duan was also walking along the road and looking at the empress. Unexpectedly, she was wearing a royal robe, a nine-bead crown, and sitting on a dragon chair holding the Emperor's Sword.

Even facing him and the hundreds of officers and soldiers behind him holding swords and wearing armor, they still sat steadily, as if they were watching the ministers attend court in the morning. It was quite impressive!

Prince Duan stood under the stage and faced the empress. The two looked at each other like needles facing each other.

This scene was a bit embarrassing and frightening. I don’t know whether the empress cursed loudly or whether Prince Duan came forward and forced the emperor to kill the empress.

After only a short moment, but as long as a day, King Duan finally spoke first: "I see your Majesty."

He said it, but he didn't kneel down.

The chief steward next to him raised his eyebrows, but looking at Prince Duan and the hundreds of military guards behind him who had strong murderous auras, he swallowed all the disrespectful words he said.

"Brother Emperor, why are you here?" The empress looked domineering, but when she spoke, she spoke with a bit of warmth, without a trace of hostility, and it was very pleasant to hear: "They all said that you brought troops to fight me, right?

Really?"

Of course I am here to attack you. How about bringing so many soldiers with you? Are you here for a trip?

But this cannot be explained clearly. Even if we usurp the throne, there must be a reason. To win the world, we also need a reason.

King Duan clasped his fists, then put his hand on the handle of the sword tied to his waist, and said sternly: "Your Majesty listened to the slanderous ministers and levied high taxes on the territory of Yan. Half of the harvest will be taxed, and the people of Yan will starve and die everywhere.

Unable to endure it, thousands of people wrote to me, asking me to go to the capital to eradicate the evil and evil, and protect me and the world."
