On the night of the winter solstice, the nearly three-hour palace banquet ended.
The emperor was so drunk that he was staggered by the waiters and helped him to the direction of Fu'an Palace. His cheeks were red and he was talking drunkenly.
Since the queen's death, he has become more and more crazy, chanting: "Has the queen bullied Samao recently... Have Concubine De and Concubine Xian made things difficult for Samao?"
"If there are, tell the truth and I will punish them well."
"Whoever dares to bully her, I will kill her!"
Da Xingguo supported him with one hand and held a lantern with the other to guide him, followed by several palace officials.
After hearing this, Da Xingguo held back and said with a smile: "Everyone, the Queen, Concubine De, Concubine Xian and Zhang Zhaoyuan have already gone! Have you forgotten? It was you who brought the sword to kill them. .”
"Dead?" he asked drowsily.
On the second day after the Queen's death, Concubine De Xian and Zhang Zhaoyuan, who had always been good friends with the Queen, came to Samao to question them, and they had a quarrel. The emperor came back from offering incense in the temple. When he heard about this, he immediately raised his sword and found several concubines, and swung the sword ruthlessly.
Da Xingguo replied again: "Yes, everyone, they are all dead. Concubine De is still alive. The imperial doctor said it was a male fetus. The eldest princess of Bi State was heartbroken because of her daughter and couldn't afford to fall ill."
The emperor's Adam's apple moved up and down slightly, and his chest kept rising and falling. Looking out at the corridor, the snow on the ground could reach people's ankles. In the sudden cold of the new year, everything that was frozen fell away, even the charming and lustful things in the past few days. The plum blossoms all fell one after another, leaving only the empty branches weighed down by the heavy snow.
"Concubine De is my cousin, and my childhood sweetheart... my aunt must be very disappointed in me!"
"I know that everyone has a deep relationship with the eldest princess, so I specially asked the best doctors in the palace to treat her, but the princess declined."
"That's it! That's it!"
The emperor was silent, staring at the road ahead with empty eyes. He let go of his waiting hand and disappeared alone at the corner of the corridor.
At midnight, on the dragon bed in Fu'an Palace, the emperor was leaning on the fence behind him. Beside him, Samao was lying. She had obviously slept with him as the new imperial concubine.
Her hair was messy and her eyes were dull. She stared at the blessing bag hanging in the sky. The red tears that rolled down wet the brocade pillow. Her swollen belly was very conspicuous under the quilt.
The emperor lowered his head and wiped away her tears: "Samao, don't cry. I will be very kind to you. In a few days, I will discuss with the ministers and make you the new queen. We, the emperor and the queen, will see all the prosperity of this great country." .”
She closed her eyes in despair, stroked her belly, and endured the millions of humiliations.
When the emperor saw that she had calmed down, he put his arm around her shoulders and fell asleep.
After the two fell asleep and Fu'an Hall was quiet and no one was around, Da Xingguo came in quietly, extinguished the lights on the left and right candlesticks, then carefully approached the dragon bed, squatted down, and took out the knife that the emperor always kept under his pillow. He took it away, along with a dagger under the couch, and also took it away.
He raised the corner of his mouth, covered the emperor with a quilt again and said, "Everyone, it's cold at night, so please cover yourself with a quilt!"
Without seeing the emperor's response, he smiled evilly, took off the bed curtains, smoothed his gown and strode out with an unusually free and easy demeanor.
He chatted in a low voice with the guard general Pusan Hutu who was on duty outside Fu'an Palace for a while, and Hutu waved to a group of halberd-bearers around him to escort Da Xingguo away.
In Da Xingguo's sleeves, he carefully carried a series of keys to the palace doors. He looked around them every step he took, for fear that someone might take a look. new
Several people successfully walked around the long corridor behind Da'an Hall and stopped at a intersection of corridors. Da Xingguo took out the forbidden key from his sleeve, fumbled in his sleeve and handed it to one of the leading halberd-bearers. , said in a low voice: "I would like to trouble you, my lord, to go to the Yuhua Gate and open the city gate. General Xiangbi has already greeted the imperial guards there!"
The man holding the halberd took the key, bowed his head in front of him, and said in a sonorous voice: "Your Majesty, I have defeated my minister. When the new king is established, I hope that your Majesty will speak kindly to me!"
The two of them bowed to each other, and after a moment, Da Xingguo headed towards the palace gate at the other end. He walked in a hurry, and was escorted by the remaining four people.
Arrive at Xuanhuamen.
"Who is approaching?" The guard guarding the door saw several people approaching, and drew his cold knife in a blur.
Several halberd bearers came around and said, "It's us!"
The man holding the halberd talked with the two guards for a long time, and then Da Xingguo handed over the key: "I got this from Si Yao, please feel free to open the door, sir!"
The guard thrust the sword into the long scabbard, clasped his fists and bowed his head, saying, "General, I told you this in advance!"
He picked up the key, ran to the palace gate, and opened the huge and wide red door, leading directly to the night corridor outside.
The man holding the halberd looked out and saw Wan Yanliang leading a group of soldiers on horseback. They had been waiting outside for a long time.
Next to him is his brother-in-law, Tu Shanzhen. Both of them are wearing a pair of armor made of iron leaves, with an animal mask belt around their waists, bronze breastplates on the front and back, and a crimson floral robe with two green strips hanging down. Velvet tie, underneath a pair of black leather boots.
Da Xingguo knelt down to greet him and shouted: "Your Majesty, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Please enter the palace as soon as possible!"
Wan Yanliang raised his handsome eyebrows, put a smile on his lips, and twitched the earrings. He looked like a king dominating the world, and his sharp and deep eyes gave people a sense of oppression.
He rode his horse straight into the imperial gate and reached Fu'an Hall without any obstruction.
Bingde, Li Laoseng, and Wu Dai, who entered from Yuhua Gate, had also sneaked into the palace and met with them at the entrance of Fu'an Hall.
"My humble servants are here to see you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, the Emperor is sleeping soundly," Pusan Hutu led all the soldiers to ask for orders from him.
He waved his cloak, pressed his dark eyebrows and waved, "You lead people to surround Fu'an Palace. Don't make any big noise. The lonely king will kill the faint king himself!"
Wan Yanliang drew his sword, walked through the red corridor, kicked the vermilion door of the palace, and strode into the palace, followed by several other people.
The emperor woke up from the dragon bed immediately after hearing the loud noise. Before he understood what happened, he groped under the pillow in a panic, looking for his always-prepared sword.
"There's no need to look for it, your sword is here with the lonely king!"
He raised his head and saw Wan Yanliang striding forward, opening the curtain and walking in. He held a long sword in his hand and pointed with the other hand at the sword that Da Xingguo had taken away from his side.
At this time, Sa Mao was also frightened and woke up. He huddled around the quilt in fear and huddled in the corner, looking at the knife-carrying men in front of him.
"Come here, escort me! Escort me!" He got out of bed in obscene clothes and shouted from left to right.
After shouting for a long time, there was no response. Wan Yanliang glanced arrogantly to the left and right, and said in a rough voice: "What are you shouting for? You, the people of Fu'an Palace, have surrendered to me, who will protect you? Her?"
He pointed at Samao behind him and laughed contemptuously.
"She will be mine soon!"
"Wan Yanliang, I should have gotten rid of you, this rebellious traitor, long ago!"
The emperor stood unarmed and panicked. He pressed forward step by step and put the long sword on his shoulder. He was so frightened that his legs trembled and he sat down on the ground, dragging him backwards in a state of embarrassment.
Wanyan Liang looked at his embarrassed appearance, then his face darkened, and he stroked the long sword with two fingers: "Wanyan Dan, look at how useless you are. You can't stand up to the throne and only take advantage of yourself. When a woman vents her anger, she vents her anger on those around her."
"The queen has been with you through many hardships, and has worked with you and your wife for more than ten years, and yet you are so cruel that you have the heart to kill her. No matter how cruel I am, Wan Yanliang, I will never take my anger out on my own woman."
He brought the sword closer again, pressing it an inch harder: "Do you know who would be like this?"
"The most incompetent people will vent their anger on their own women and hurt the person next to them. Wanyan Dan, you are a waste, do you understand?"
"you……"
He yelled loudly: "What about me? I am Wan Yanliang, talented and virtuous, and have never been defeated in a battle, but what about you! Have you been on the battlefield? Have you killed an enemy for Dajin?"
"Why are you the one who wants to dominate the world? In what way am I, Wan Yanliang, not as good as you? Huh?"
He picked up the emperor's collar again, gnashing his teeth with anger: "You should have thought that one day, in order to satisfy yourself, you would
With a hypocritical heart, I gave my woman, the woman of my heart, to Wulu. You should have died long ago! Arrogant and extravagant, killing countless people, being loyal and following the rules, even if I kill you ten times, it won't be enough. "
"Just suffer death!" He raised the sword and swung it down fiercely.
"No! No!"
A tragic cry spread in the middle of the night, and the soldiers guarding outside bowed to Chief Fu'an.
The emperor was killed on the night of the winter solstice. The red blood was splashed on the three-foot curtain. He lay alone on the ground with a ferocious face. This ended his fifteen-year brutal rule.
Wan Yanliang calmly wiped the blood on the sword with a linen cloth, put the sword into its sheath, and looked back at the horrified Samao.
"Come here, call the imperial doctor to treat her well. Don't let anything happen to her or the baby in her belly!"
"yes!"
After saying that, he left calmly and freely, came to the front hall, sat on the emperor's throne, then stood up and looked at the magnificent Fu'an Hall carefully.
On the west wall hangs a drapery with hunting pictures embroidered with gold and silver silk threads, and further down there are layers of green draperies, with beads and tassels on the top of the head. On the next floor, there are hollow carved railings, and there are all kinds of flower tables, crescent moon tables, lacquerware, and imperial rose chairs on the left and right. It is overwhelming. The imperial table in front of the bookcase and the four treasures on the table are all exquisite. On the royal couch, you can also caress the delicate tiger skin on the cushion.
Da Xingguo was a smart man and quickly took the national seal and presented it to him: "Please, Your Majesty, take over the throne. Long live my emperor!"
As soon as he was introduced, the people behind him quickly looked left and right, and they all knelt and supported him on the ground: "Long live my emperor!"
Wan Yanliang took the heavy jade seal and placed it on the tea table beside him. He looked up to the sky and laughed, with a majestic attitude that made people respect and fear him.
Wan Yanwu bowed before him, lowered his head and said respectfully: "My lord! How should we deal with it in court tomorrow?"
Wan Yanliang raised her hips and tugged at the earrings: "If I kill the king and replace him, the ministers will definitely be dissatisfied, especially Zong Xian and Zong Min. Both of them are loyal soldiers and are in charge. It can be said that he is loyal to the emperor."
Tang Kuo argued again: "Why don't you, Your Majesty, take advantage of this night to deal with the two of them, and kill the chicken to scare the monkey, so that other ministers will not dare to comment?"
He continued: "For what reason? Summoning two people this late at night is not in line with common sense. Naturally, they did not dare to come."
Wu Dai's eyes moved and he said again: "Your Majesty, under the guise of the emperor's name, we can discuss the establishment and summon the two of them to the palace."
Bingde replied: "Yes, your Majesty also agreed with this method, so he summoned two people to come forward and kill him again in the name of being a queen!"
After hearing this, he tapped his slender fingers on the desk. After tapping for a while, he opened his chest and said, "Come on! That's it. I will sit firmly in this position. Anyone who disobeys me will be killed." amnesty!"
At the end of the ninth year of the emperor's reign, Emperor Chongtian Ti Daoqin Ming Wenwu Shengde was killed. Wanyan Liang proclaimed himself emperor, and he demoted Wanyan Dan as the "King of Donghun". He posthumously named Ciming Gongxiao Shunde and Queen Pei Man as the mourning queen. Tian De.
