Faced with Empress Xiao who was forcing her into the palace, Yang Wu only had calmness on his old face.
Looking at Queen Xiao: "You can mobilize the guards around me, but I don't know the news yet. So, Han Zhong is also yours?"
Queen Xiao shouted: "Han Zhong!"
"The old slave is here!"
Han Zhong walked in and knelt in front of Yang Wu.
Yang Wu was silent for a moment and sighed: "I didn't expect this."
Han Zhong lay on the ground: "Your Majesty, this old slave is unworthy of the emperor's kindness."
Yang Wu shook his head and said nothing to blame.
Instead, he looked at Queen Xiao: "Are you well prepared?"
Empress Xiao: "Your Majesty, don't worry, there should be nothing wrong. I don't want to take this step, but Jin'er is dead, what else do I think about?"
Yang Wu nodded: "Understood, I didn't expect the third child to die, but even if he dies, the third child is solely to blame. Who can be blamed?"
Queen Xiao's face turned cold: "So, Your Majesty will not agree to give Yang Zhan and Yang Xing death?"
Yang Wu said calmly: "If the third child dies, the only one left is the eldest brother. If he dies, who will give this country to? As for Yang Zhan, he cannot die!"
Looking at Yang Wu, Queen Xiao said indifferently: "You just protect the prince. Is Yang Zhan worthy of your protection?"
Yang Wu looked at Han Zhong and then at Queen Xiao: "Queen, who do you think wants Yang Zhan to die the most?"
"I don't care about others, I just want him to die. If he doesn't take Jin'er to the East Palace, Jin'er won't die!"
Yang Wu stared at the queen: "Did someone ask you to use my hand to kill Yang Zhan?"
"No one but me wants him to die!"
"What if I don't agree?"
"It doesn't matter, I have no choice but to do it for you, Han Zhong, prepare the decree!"
Han Zhong stood up and immediately began to study ink and prepare to write.
Empress Xiao said coldly: "Yang Zhan kidnapped the third prince to death. He committed a heinous crime and deserves death!"
"As the prince, Yang Xing collaborated with Yang Zhan to kill his brothers and sisters. He was unethical and violent. He will be punished with death!"
Han Zhong quickly drew up these and polished them.
After giving it to Queen Xiao for a look, Queen Xiao looked at Yang Wu again: "Your Majesty, please use the seal."
Yang Wu said calmly: "No!"
"Han Zhong!"
Empress Xiao ignored Yang Wu and asked Han Zhong to take action.
Han Zhong ran to get the seal as a familiar person, but for a moment, Han Zhong said doubtfully: "It's gone!"
Queen Xiao turned around and looked at the empty box.
"Your Majesty, there is no point. Even if it is just your words, you can kill them."
Yang Wu said: "This is confusing right and wrong. There are so many people at the scene. Who doesn't know that it is the third child who is causing trouble? If you can't stop everyone from talking, the civil and military officials will not agree. If they die, the whole Great Xia will immediately be in chaos. , there are even some people who will immediately raise the banner of Qingjun, come with troops, and finally force me to abdicate and give way to others. You, and the people behind you, cannot control the situation."
Queen Xiao's face became colder and colder: "I just want revenge, but Your Majesty doesn't want to?"
Yang Wu said: "You can't do this. If you want only Yang Xing and Yang Zhan to die, you can only summon them into the palace. This place is all yours. You even let me splash blood on the spot and marry them." It’s up to you to bring disaster to Yang Zhan and Yang Xing’s regicide!”
Queen Xiao was stunned.
Yang Wu spoke again: "This is the most appropriate way. By then, all my sons are dead, and Yang Zhan is also dead. By then, with the strength and prestige of King Wu, he will be able to control the overall situation. If you don't believe me, go and ask the people behind you." people."
"just me!"
Queen Xiao said seriously.
After a moment, he looked at Han Zhong: "Han Zhong, serve your Majesty well, I will go out first."
"Yes, concubine!"
Yang Wu looked at Queen Xiao calmly.
This look in her eyes made Empress Xiao feel very uncomfortable, as if every secret had been revealed in front of Yang Wu.
When Queen Xiao went out, she glanced at a guard.
The guard nodded slightly, and then Queen Xiao walked out.
Yang Wu stretched out his hand: "Han Zhong, help me sit down!"
Han Zhong hesitated for a moment, then walked up and helped Yang Wu sit on the rocking chair.
Yang Wu said calmly: "What are you doing for this? What the queen can give you, I can't give you?"
Han Zhong was silent for a long time before he said: "Your Majesty, you are old, and I still want to live longer."
Yang Wu nodded: "I understand, you have to curry favor with the future new king and find a new backer."
"Your Majesty, over the years, I have done a lot of secret things for you. If you die, will I still be alive?"
Yang Wu smiled: "That's all, but who is your backer? The queen can't protect you."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. This old slave has found a powerful backer and should be able to live safely."
"Then the prince is not a good candidate? Why do you want to stay far away instead of the near?"
"Your Majesty, please tell me what's in your heart. I'm afraid the prince won't live long. Although your majesty has never said it, I know that the prince is seriously ill and may not be able to continue his bloodline. From now on, this world will belong to others."
After hearing this, Yang Wu sighed: "The other person you are talking about is King Wu, right?"
Han Zhong stopped talking.
Soon, Queen Xiao came and looked at Han Zhong before saying.
"Okay, let's do as Your Majesty wishes and announce that Yang Zhan and Yang Xing will come to Wende Palace!"
Yang Wu nodded: "Han Zhong, go and pass the order. In order not to arouse suspicion, those rebels from the Four Guards who lay down their weapons will not be held accountable. In addition, take down Xiao Rang and General Four Guards. As for the future, you can find the queen." It was released under just one name."
Queen Xiao nodded: "Han Zhong, do as you are told."
"Yes, my dear, I'll go right now!"
…
East Palace.
There is still a war going on outside.
In the Mingde Hall, Yang Xing and Yu Shu both looked at Yang Zhan.
"Second Master, when the third child died, Xiao made them go crazy. Both parties who are now dead are our soldiers of Daxia. The key is, why hasn't my father made any move yet?"
Yang Zhan frowned. He didn't even expect that the third prince would be killed.
The person who killed the third prince was none other than the Tongxuan realm Qi practitioner that the third prince invited to deal with Xu Zhen.
The sudden sword strike was hard to guard against in this chaotic situation.
The situation that was originally stable suddenly broke into chaos again.
Fortunately, Sanzi and Luyang invited the Jinwu Guards, and his former generals turned against him with their left and right guards.
Otherwise, few of him and Dong Gong would be able to survive.
Yang Zhan closed his eyes and an idea came to his mind.
"Second Master, please take charge of the overall situation, command the army, and quickly suppress the rebels. Otherwise, I am afraid that the war will affect the foundation of Daxia!"
Yang Xing directly cupped his fists and bent down, respectfully asking Yang Zhan to take action.
Yang Zhan opened his eyes and looked at Yang Xing: "Although His Majesty may watch you fight with Lao San, he will not watch the armies of both sides killing each other. Therefore, I'm afraid something happened to Your Majesty!"
"How is it possible? My father is in Tiansheng Palace. There are many masters in Tiansheng Palace, including Han Zhong and other masters..."
At this point, Yang Xing's expression changed slightly: "Is it the queen?"
That's when.
The fighting outside was less intense.
Then, the sound of countless horse hooves roared.
Yang Zhan, Yang Xing and others went out instantly.
I saw that the army fighting inside and outside the East Palace had been surrounded.
Han Zhong was riding on a horse, holding an imperial decree, and his momentum was like a rainbow.
Han Zhong did not come alone. He also brought an army of other guards, plus Jinwu guards, left and right guards, etc. The rebels led by Xiao Rang were completely weak.
At this time, Han Zhong took out the imperial edict and read it out. Although there was not a word on it, the bright yellow edict, his words were equivalent to His Majesty's will.
Han Zhong scolded: "Your Majesty has a purpose. He is a brave guard on the left and right, and a powerful guard on the left and right. He is just deceived by traitors. As long as he puts down his weapons, he will not be held accountable for the crime of treason!"
As soon as these words came out, most of the army behind Xiao Rang only hesitated slightly and put down their weapons.
Xiao Rang and the three generals, at this time, had pale faces.
