Chapter 44, Establishing the heir to the throne
At this moment, Zhao Tianyou couldn't stand anymore: "Eleventh Brother, don't listen to his nonsense, boy, don't just think that you are an enshrinement and you can talk nonsense."

Shangguan Jinghong spread his hands: "As I said just now, we will confront the person after he is escorted back. The eleventh prince is worried about the prince's safety. The sixth prince, however, it is true that what I got from the assassin was your envoy, maybe it was a false accusation." ,but……"

Zhao Tianhe smiled coldly: "Sixth brother, don't think I don't know, you have been coveting the throne for a long time, when the emperor wanted to make me the crown prince, you were not convinced, and now you actually sent someone to kill the only son of the emperor for the sake of the throne. "

Shangguan Jinghong secretly rejoiced, and added fuel to your anger: "Eleventh Prince calm down, this matter may be framed, I mean as long as the prince is safe, the prince will not be involved in the throne, my The subordinates are already rushing back."

Zhao Tianhe waved his hand: "Framed? Hmph, even if it is a false accusation, there is still suspicion. Otherwise, why didn't the assassin tell others? Come on, the Sixth Prince conspired to assassinate the first emperor's son, so let me take him down first."

The guards outside the hall immediately rushed in and surrounded Zhao Tianyou. Zhao Tianyou was furious. When the guards approached, the guards wailed and fell to the ground immediately when the guards approached. Peng Anyu is here.

When Peng Anyu saw Zhao Tianyou, he saluted immediately: "My lord, this old slave is late."

Zhao Tianyou frowned, but now he couldn't stay out of it.

Zhao Tianhe smiled sinisterly: "Sixth brother, what else do you have to say, privately recruiting the royal family to worship, and committing a crime of conspiracy, even if the assassination of the prince is a false accusation, then what about this matter!"

Zhao Tianyou knew that he could no longer watch the drama, so he gave Shangguan Jinghong a cold look: "Haha, my father appointed you as the crown prince? Don't dream, you are a martial artist, you have no political sense, and you took out the imperial edict of your father. An old official behind him hurriedly handed it over, and Zhao Tianyou held the imperial decree in his hand: "Look at it, the imperial father made the imperial decree to let me succeed, who knew that Zhao Tianjing stole the imperial decree and tampered with it privately, shouldn't this king take the imperial decree?" Return all this?"

Zhao Tianqi wanted to speak, but was stopped by Shangguan Jinghong, who quietly leaned into Zhao Tianqi's ear and said, "My lord, hurry up and send someone to prepare, today's affairs will not be good, the use of force is only a matter of time, I already feel that some masters will come Come here, we have to prepare early." Then he glanced at Zhao Lin, unexpectedly the little boy's eyes were extremely firm, Shangguan Jinghong patted him on the shoulder: "Prince, no matter what happens in a while, you will follow By Long Yi's side." Then he turned his head and told Long Yi: "Long Yi, take care of the prince."

Long Yi also replied with a smile: "Young Master, don't worry."

"Haha, Zhao Tianyou, if you say that the emperor forged the imperial edict, then your imperial edict must be true? It's ridiculous." Zhao Tianhe laughed angrily.

Zhao Tianyou's face was gloomy and cold: "So, the eleventh brother is determined to make it difficult for me?"

"Come here, take Zhao Tianyou down for me." Zhao Tianhe gave an order, and immediately two people rushed up outside the hall. It was the bald and scarred man who followed Shangguan Jinghong that day.

Zhao Tianyou was also heartbroken: "Peng Anyu, kill them."

Shangguan Jinghong suddenly interrupted at this time: "Eleventh Prince, after you have killed the rebel, the prince and I will come to watch your enthronement ceremony. Now for the prince's safety, I want to protect the prince and go back to the bedroom first." Zhao Tianqi and Zhao Lin quickly left the hall, and the ministers who supported Zhao Lin also left.

After returning to the Zichen Palace, Concubine Tong greeted her immediately: "My lord, how is it?"

Zhao Tianqi was suffocated a long time ago, and immediately burst out laughing as soon as he entered the Zichen Palace: "My brother is a good means." Now Zhao Tianqi admires Shangguan Jinghong very much. .

In fact, Shangguan Jinghong did not have so many twists and turns, but later generations watched too many TV dramas, such as Zhen Huan and Kangxi, who knew the royal family well. He waved his hand after hearing Zhao Tianqi's words: "My lord, don't say that." Alright, hurry up and make arrangements, once the two have a result, we will immediately come forward to clean up the mess, and let the prince inherit the rule of law."

Zhao Tianqi also understood that he had to hurry up, so he immediately made arrangements: "Let the commander of the imperial army, Xiao Qi, come to see me immediately, and order the Tiger and Leopard Battalion to leave and station around the capital."

Shangguan Jinghong also said to Long Yi: "Long Yi, tell Long Er to let him bring the Longwei people into the palace immediately, and send someone to recruit Qin Zheng, let him bring Chu Xuan, the prince will have to trouble you Go give the green light."

"Green light?"

"Oh, just put them in."

Zhao Tianqi suddenly said: "Oh, I will go right away."

Concubine Tong was so quiet that she didn't know what to say, she just kept hugging Zhao Lin, while Wang Zhen just closed her eyes and rested.

Shangguan Jinghong looked at Concubine Tong and comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't be nervous, everything is under control. After today, Your Majesty will no longer be a concubine, but a queen mother."

Concubine Tong swallowed hard: "My lord, I'm a little worried. Lin'er is still young, so I'm afraid..."

Shangguan's face changed in shock, and he said: "Your Majesty said something wrong, the prince is of the right age, and he is very talented, succession is just a natural response to others."

Concubine Tong was taken aback, and immediately changed her words: "Yes, yes, yes, what the priest said is right."

After a while, Long Er arrived with Long Wei: "My lord, we are here."

"Okay, Long Er, from now on, protect the surrounding area of ​​the imperial palace, no one can come in or out, if any master enters by force, take them all down, and Long Yi will also go there, plus Qin Zheng, Chu Xuan, a total of four innate masters, it is impossible to think about it. It is enough to guard the palace, what do you think of this arrangement, my lord?" Shangguan Jinghong said with a smile.

Zhao Tianqi smiled and nodded: "Brother, I thought you were just a warrior, but today I see you differently. Lin'er will become emperor in the future, so don't forget the kindness of the Shangguan today."

Zhao Lin stepped forward immediately after hearing the words: "Uncle Huang, don't worry, Lin'er will definitely live up to the uncles of the emperor, and he will never forget the heroes here today."

Shangguan Jinghong somewhat admired this little boy. He was eleven or twelve years old and carefree. He had endured so much and could still speak so calmly. Although this royal family is ruthless, it is to cultivate capable people. However, since the future emperor has spoken, Shangguan Jinghong has no choice but to respond: "Young prince, you are being polite. I have already said something. The emperor treated me well back then. If there is a need in the future, I will definitely be there, and now that the emperor is gone, I will do my best for the little prince."

Concubine Tong, on the other hand, was very grateful to Shangguan Jinghong: "Shangguan worships, no matter what I say, today's incident is thanks to you and the prince, I am very grateful."

At this time, a little eunuch rushed in in a panic: "My lord, my lord, the sixth lord was captured by the eleventh lord."

Zhao Tianqi was a little happy, but also a little worried. He was happy that the prince lost an opponent, but he was worried that Zhao Tianhe was so powerful that even Peng Anyu couldn't stop him.

Shangguan Jinghong asked anxiously: "Is Peng Anyu dead?"

Although the little eunuch didn't know the identity of Shangguan Jinghong, he must be no small person to be able to stand with the prince and lord, and said respectfully: "Return to your lord, Peng Anyu was also taken down after being injured."

"How are Zhao Tian and the people around him?"

"There is a bald head who seems to be seriously injured, but the scarred face does not show any injuries, and is still helping the Eleventh Prince to clean up the mess."

Shangguan Jinghong put his mind at ease: "My lord, we should go and have a look."

Zhao Tianqi now admires Shangguan Jinghong's meticulous thinking: "brother, go, brother will listen to you."

The few people brought the prince back to the hall again, Zhao Tianhe said excitedly: "Haha, brother, Shangguan enshrines, Zhao Tianyou not only sent someone to assassinate the prince, but also faked the imperial decree in order to rebel, I have already taken it down."

Shangguan Jinghong glanced at Zhao Tianqi, and said nonchalantly, "The Eleventh Prince is really brave and good at fighting, and he quelled the rebellion so quickly. Since that's the case, let's quickly prepare for the enthronement ceremony."

The smile on Zhao Tianhe's face was even better: "Yes, yes, prepare immediately, this king will ascend the throne immediately."

Shangguan Jinghong pretended to be surprised: "Eleventh Prince, you want to become emperor?"

Zhao Tianhe was taken aback: "Why, can't it work?"

Shangguan Jinghong shook his head regretfully: "Hey, what a pity, the Eleventh Prince will be scolded by the world from now on, a generation of heroes, what a pity."

Zhao Tianhe watched Shangguan startled and sighed for himself, and hurriedly asked: "What does Shangguan mean by enshrining?"

"The last emperor's decree was for the prince to become emperor, but now the eleventh prince stole it, and he ascended the throne after defeating the sixth prince. How will people in the world talk about it?"

Although Zhao Tianhe was good at fighting, he was simple-minded. He fell silent immediately after hearing the words, and turned to ask the veteran behind him what to do. The veteran looked at Zhao Tianhe like an idiot, turned around without saying a word, and left with a wry smile. go.

Zhao Tianhe was a little confused, and looked at Shangguan Jinghong with a questioning look: "Shangguan enshrines, what do you think I should do?"

Shangguan Jinghong pretended to be deep in thought: "Eleventh prince, in my opinion, the prince ascends the throne, and the eleventh prince assists the government. After a year and a half, the prince will sit in the eleventh prince's place. This is justified."

Zhao Tianhe was slightly displeased: "It will take another year?"

To say that all the ministers who were determined to follow Zhao Tianhe shook their heads and sighed at this time, and they were in the wrong line. I hope it is still too late, so someone immediately advised Zhao Tianhe: "My lord, what the Shangguan said is reasonable. After waiting for so many years, is there still one year left?"

Shangguan Jinghong looked at the minister with a smile on his face, Zhao Tianhe sighed: "Forget it, then wait another year."

Shangguan Jinghong immediately turned his head and blinked at Zhao Tianqi and said, "Prince Jin, please hurry up and arrange for the prince to ascend the throne."

Zhao Tianhe felt a little depressed, and said angrily: "You guys make arrangements, I'm tired, so I'll go back first."

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave with the bald and scar-faced man, but Shangguan Jinghong stopped him again: "My lord, this gentleman is seriously injured, I think he should stay in the palace to recuperate, and that Peng Anyu, I hope The prince left him behind, for such a treacherous villain, it would be best for the prince to kill him."

Zhao Tianhe thought for a while, nodded and agreed.

As soon as Zhao Tianhe left, Zhao Tianqi immediately began to arrange the enthronement ceremony.

Shangguan Jinghong brought Peng Anyu to the Zichen Palace. Concubine Tong had heard from the maid that everything was in order. Seeing Shangguan Jinghong and Zhao Lin come back, she greeted them with a smile: "Lin'er, ascend the throne!" When is the grand ceremony?"

Zhao Lin also rarely showed a smile: "Mother Concubine, three days later."

Concubine Tong's tears immediately rolled in her eyes when she heard the words, and then she turned her head and bowed down to Shangguan in shock: "Shangguan worships, Aijia..."

Shangguan Jinghong waved his hand: "Your Majesty, there is no need to talk, there is still something to deal with."

After speaking, he immediately pulled Peng Anyu over, and said with a gloomy face: "Peng Anyu, do you know your crime?"

Peng Anyu was seriously injured, and he looked up to the sky and sighed: "The winner is the king and the loser, I never imagined that the Shangguan's priest is so scheming, it's not wrong to lose."

"Indeed, you have a good vision. You know that you chose the Sixth Prince instead of the Eleventh Prince. After all, the prince is weak. Wei Xianzhong doesn't care about anything now. No one would choose to follow the prince."

Peng Anyu smiled wryly: "What's the use of saying this now?"

"Since I said it, it is useful. Now I will give you a chance to submit to the prince and swear never to betray."

Peng Anyu was slightly taken aback: "Old man, I have already repeated it once. Now if I change to His Royal Highness, the world will probably..."

"No, no, you didn't understand. From now on, Peng Anyu is dead, and the prince has the final say on your name, but I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your face."

No one wanted to die, so Peng Anyu was very excited when he heard the hope of being alive, and he thought slightly in his heart: "Okay, I agree." As he said that, he grabbed his face with one hand, and blood flowed profusely on his face.

Shangguan Jinghong turned to Zhao Lin again and said, "Your Highness, are you still willing to use this person?"

Zhao Lin took a step forward: "From today on, you will be called Chou Nu."

Peng Anyu smiled, the blood on his face looked extremely ferocious: "The ugly slave pays homage to the master."

At this time, Zhao Tianqi was also busy, looking at Peng Anyu, oh, he is an ugly slave now, he was startled when he saw the blood on the ugly slave, and after Shangguan Jinghong explained, he was relieved: "Your Majesty, everything is arranged. Well, Lin'er will ascend the throne three days later, oh, I can't be called Lin'er anymore, I should be called the emperor."

Shangguan Jinghong looked at everything and said, "My lord, everything is over, I should go too."

Zhao Tianqi asked anxiously to stay: "Brother, stay for a few more days, it's been hard work this time, and I haven't had a good rest for a few days, why are you in such a hurry to leave."

Shangguan Jinghong smiled and shook his head, looked at Wang Zhen who had not spoken from the beginning to the end, and almost forgot about him: "Eunuch Wang, I thank you for your help this time."

Wang Zhen said with a blank expression, "No, I promised to do three things, and now I do one."

Shangguan Jinghong pondered for a while, and said: "Eunuch, after this matter is completed, Eunuch will not have to worry about my master's favor, let's forget about those two things."

Wang Zhen raised his eyebrows and smiled, and then laughed out loud: "Haha, hahaha, Shangguan Jinghong, not bad, that old guy Hong Tianyu has taken in a good apprentice, hahaha, but our family doesn't Take advantage of you, don't worry, as long as I live, Zhao Tian and that little monkey can't make big waves, this is the second thing, as for the third thing, come with me!"
