The day before, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was assassinated.
The next day, the newly succeeded emperor of Zhou Dynasty was assassinated.
This makes them appear incompetent.
Xie Zaixing's eyes were red, and there was a lot of crying in the palace.
Queen Mother Liu also came, and she burst into tears when she saw her son who died tragically.
The successive blows made Queen Mother Liu almost faint.
Xie Zaixing came back to his senses. He knew that this was not the time to be sad and looked at the assassinating guard.
But the guard had already bitten the poison sac hidden in his mouth and died.
"Go, arrest all this person's family members, and they must be interrogated." Xie Zaixing knew very well that the guards who could be deployed in the palace were all married and well-established, otherwise they would not be allowed to stay in the palace at all.
"Stop crying!" Seeing the ministers howling loudly, Xie Zaixing knew he had to stand up.
At this moment, Zhang De's absence is the best opportunity.
If Zhang De were here, I don't know what trouble would happen.
He said: "Everyone should stay away from the Queen Mother now!"
The successive assassinations made everyone panic. No one knew whether the people around them were assassins.
But now the new emperor is dead before the Supreme Emperor's body is cold. This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for the Great Zhou Dynasty.
If word spreads, the Great Zhou Dynasty will fall into turmoil in an instant.
So Xie Zaixing knelt in front of the Queen Mother Liu and said, "The Queen Mother, this is not the time to be sad. Please cheer up the Queen Mother and take charge of the overall situation!"
From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Zhang Fujun and Zhang Fuqiang. They looked sad, but anyone could see their joy from the raised corners of their mouths.
This matter either has something to do with Zhang De, or it was done by these two people.
But now is no longer the time to pursue so much.
He thought very clearly that if he wanted to stabilize the Zhou Dynasty, he must get rid of Zhang De. It didn't matter who became the emperor, Zhang Fujun or Zhang Fuqiang, as long as he was Zhang Cheng's son.
And now, he wants to put the Queen Mother in power.
Empress Dowager Liu was a woman after all. After losing her husband and her son one after another, the huge blow almost caused her to collapse.
However, Xie Zaixing's words still made her sober up a little.
Moreover, officials from Xie Zaixing's faction also reacted and agreed with Xie Zaixing.
Empress Dowager Liu said: "Thank you, Prime Minister. Otherwise, you should do it."
Xie Zaixing shook his head and said: "At this time, the two emperors died one after another, and there may be assassins hiding in the palace. This is the purpose of those people.
Instead of doing this, the lower official wanted to ask the Queen Mother to temporarily supervise the affairs of the court. "
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Does the Queen Mother show mercy and take power?
It's not that this happened.
But is it too sudden now?
However, some people also realized that Xie Zaixing's proposal seemed to be the best arrangement at the moment.
Thinking of this, many people agreed.
Although Queen Mother Liu was confused, she was now also afraid that someone would continue to attack her children.
She started from scratch with Zhang Cheng, and she is not a little woman who doesn't know anything.
Thinking of this, she calmed down, suppressed the sadness in her heart and said: "Since all the beloved ladies have requested, I will temporarily supervise the administration.
A few days ago, the founding emperor of the Zhou Dynasty of our country was unfortunately assassinated, and there were reports that the new emperor who succeeded to the throne suffered the same tragedy.
This not only had a serious impact on the Zhou regime, but also made the country's situation turbulent. What's even worse is that this continuous blow has made people panic.
At this difficult moment, while I am grieving, I must stand firm and stabilize the overall situation.
First of all, I announce that I will thoroughly investigate these two assassinations, bring the murderers to justice, and give an explanation to the emperor who died, to all the ministers, and to the people of the country.
At the same time, security measures at the palace have been strengthened to ensure the personal safety of royal members and to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
Here, I also hope that all ministers can work together to overcome the current difficulties.
We must reflect deeply, identify loopholes in palace security and management, and strengthen internal and external supervision.
I know very well that at this time, the Great Zhou Dynasty is faced with internal and external troubles and many difficulties.
But we must strengthen our faith and move forward courageously.
When the Supreme Emperor was alive, he went through many hardships and was never defeated, and this time was no exception.
Finally, I reiterated that I am only taking over the power temporarily, and will return the power to the new emperor after the Zhou Dynasty overcomes this difficulty! "
Hearing this, everyone shouted that the Queen Mother was wise.
Zhang Fuqiang was stunned, "Xie Xiang, shouldn't the top priority be to let the new emperor ascend the throne?"
As soon as he said this, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
His mother is now in power. If he says this, wouldn't he be opposing his mother?
Isn’t that unfilial?
Moreover, wouldn’t it reveal his true inner thoughts?
Everyone looked at this picture of Fuqiang and couldn't help but frown.
And Zhang Fujun almost laughed out loud. Even if he were to succeed, according to the order, he would have a greater chance.
This kid is so stupid.
Xie Zaixing said: "Third Prince, this is also to protect everyone. At present, it is best for the Queen Mother to be in court."
His words could be regarded as relieving Zhang Fugu's embarrassment.
Zhang Fuqiang walked down the steps.
He didn't expect that in the end, after all his hard work, he didn't get any benefit at all.
In the eyes of the queen mother, Zhang Fujun is better than herself. This flatterer just likes to flatter.
When the time comes, if he flatters her, the queen mother will definitely make him the emperor if she is happy.
Now that I have killed my eldest brother, why can't I kill him?
At this thought, Zhang Fuqiang became murderous again.
Thinking of this, he secretly put some poison on Zhang Fujun's snacks.
And Zhang Fujun is really thinking about how to maximize his profits at this moment.
He didn't see Zhang Fuqiang's little moves at all.
He was thinking that his mother loved him the most. If he coaxed his mother well, wouldn't the emperor's position belong to him?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel happy, picked up the snack and started eating.
Zhang Fuqiang was extremely excited when he saw this scene, and secretly said in his heart: "Eat, eat, eat, you will be completely finished." '
Zhang Fujun ate the cake in his hand and felt it was extremely delicious.
It also happened that he hadn't eaten much all day, and he was so hungry that he started to feast on the food without even thinking that his eldest brother had just died.
It doesn't seem right to eat at an inappropriate time.
Although he is smart, the city is not deep, or maybe he thinks he is already in sight of victory.
However, when he ate the third piece of pastry, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach.
He hugged his stomach with both hands, his face instantly turned pale, "It hurts, my stomach hurts so much!"
Before he finished speaking, he felt nauseous and immediately vomited.
The pastry was spit out from his mouth along with the smell of blood.
The sudden change overwhelmed everyone present!
Everyone watched Zhang Fujun kneeling on the ground, vomiting blood crazily!
