Daughter of Hou's Mansion

Since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Chengqian Palace has been the residence of successive emperors. It is naturally solemn and grand. Above the main hall, the vermilion pillars surrounded by three people rise high. On the pillars are carved golden dragons of various shapes. The emperor is called the real dragon. For the emperor, the dragon pattern is also a status symbol.

The queen walked in front of the group, followed by Duke Lu, Princess Duanmin, Shangguan Jue and other ministers. There were not many people, but the most powerful people in the entire Great Xia Dynasty were there, including the six ministers, the cabinet Assistant Minister.

After everyone entered, the vermilion door was closed again with a bang.

Following the sound of the door closing, everyone's eyes turned towards the dragon chair.

After the gate was closed, the light in Chengqian Hall was a bit dim, and everyone could only vaguely see a man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe sitting on the dragon chair.Shangguan Rui and Shangguan Quan are half-brothers, and both of them have inherited the handsomeness of the Shangguan family in appearance. Their facial features are five points similar. It was an illusion, as if when Shangguan Rui had just ascended the throne, the emperor's domineering aura was fully displayed.

Empress Jiang paused, as if she felt that something was wrong.Shangguan Jue narrowed his eyes slightly, he had the best eyesight among the people in the main hall, and the person on the dragon chair was definitely not Shangguan Rui, Shangguan Jue's heart sank slightly, but the corner of his eyes caught Duan Min The proud smile of the eldest princess, so the person above is the reliance of the eldest princess Duanmin?

As they approached step by step, Empress Jiang and others discovered that the person above him was not Shangguan Quan. The shock of Jiang's family can be imagined.Even the Duke of Lu, who had experienced countless ups and downs, did not respond for a while, until another minister underneath recognized Shangguan Quan.

"Are you King Yi?" When Shangguan Quan was still a prince, he was bestowed the word "wing" by the first emperor, and later he was named "king of wing".

The Duke of Lu trembled all over his body, and his keen political awareness had already made him aware of something wrong. He sternly shouted: "Shangguanquan, you are so bold, are you trying to usurp the throne? What about the emperor? What are you doing to the emperor?" gone?"

The three brothers of the Jiang family also reacted quickly. Duke Lu yelled, and the three rushed forward immediately.

They are not fools either. Shangguan Quan is wearing a dragon robe and sitting on a dragon chair, and he has obviously controlled the Chengqian Hall. Thinking about the emperor's anomalies during this period, maybe the situation is worse than they expected. What they can do now is immediately Only by taking down the power of Shangguan can we turn defeat into victory and reverse the whole situation.

The three brothers of the Jiang family were all military officers, but they were disarmed at the beginning of entering the palace. At this time, they went forward with bare hands, but they jumped out without even touching the hem of Shangguan Quan's clothes behind the dragon chair. The men in black fought with the three brothers of the Jiang family.

The faces of several civil servants had already turned pale, and those who could enter the main hall were not fools. At this time, they also knew that it would be a bad day to enter here today. Shangguan Quan put on the dragon robe and sat on the dragon chair grandly. The meaning is self-evident.

Empress Jiang's face was pale, and she barely maintained her demeanor after the first palace, and asked righteously: "Shangguan Quan, what have you done to the emperor?"

Shangguan Quan's eyes similar to those of Shangguan Rui stared straight at Empress Jiang, with a mocking smile in his eyes.

Shangguan Quan and Jiang Yuan had never actually met each other. When he and Shangguan Rui had the most tragic fight, what he envied the most was that Shangguan Rui had such a good helper as Xia Shao by his side. Xia Shao was really a member of the Great Xia Dynasty. A strange woman, with better knowledge and strategy than a man, Shangguan Quan once thought that he would lose to Shangguan Rui. The biggest reason was that he didn't have a good wife like Xia Shao.

Who knew that after Xia Shao's death, Shangguan Rui's eyes on women suddenly dropped so much. This Jiang Yao really couldn't even match Xia Shao's hair, but he was very grateful to Jiang Yao. If it wasn't for the Jiang family's plan, He hasn't gotten to this point so easily.

"Didn't you already know that the emperor's health is failing, why bother to ask?" Shangguan Quan's expression was sure of victory.

Empress Jiang's heart trembled slightly, but she saw that the man in black stabbed Jiang Jia Dalang's heart with a knife. The Jiang family boss fell to the ground and died immediately without even saying a word.Empress Jiang felt like her blood was frozen. The moment she entered the main hall, she still thought that from now on, the Jiang family would usher in the highest glory of the family and become the most prosperous family in the Great Xia Dynasty. But this dream Before it started, her eldest brother fell in front of her, but in a blink of an eye, the head of the second child of the Jiang family was also beheaded. The head with big eyes rolled around on the terracotta floor a few times, leaving a bright red streak. imprint.

Lu Guogong's legs became weak immediately, and the two sons died in front of him like this. Could it be that their Jiang family is over like this.

Among the three sons of the Jiang family, Jiang Aojie was the most skilled. Seeing his elder brother and second brother die in front of him, he was almost red-eyed, but Shangguan Quan was prepared, no matter how capable Jiang Aojie was, he couldn't stand the constant stream of pressure. The man in black, after only struggling for a stick of incense, suffered a lot of injuries and was controlled.

The two men in black suppressed Jiang Aojie and ended the chaos.

Shangguan Quan laughed loudly, and contemptuously spit out the words "overreaching one's abilities".

Duke Lu knew that the situation was over, and his straight back seemed to be taken away instantly.

"Shangguanquan, the emperor has established a crown prince. Even if you sit on the throne, the officials of the Great Xia will not accept it, and the people of the Great Xia will not accept it. You will be infamous for thousands of years." Weng Youli, the cabinet assistant minister held his head upright Verbal accusations against Shangguan Quan.

Weng Youli was sixty-five, and he was the emperor's most trusted cabinet minister. Even Shangguan Rui tried his best to promote the Jiang family. In his heart, the Jiang family would not be more credible than Weng Youli. Weng Youli took the imperial examination He was born with the sourness of a literati. Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are engraved in his bones. When the first emperor was king, he was only loyal to the first emperor. After Shangguan Rui became emperor, he was loyal to Shangguan Rui wholeheartedly.

As a cabinet minister, Weng Youli was the chief examiner of the imperial examinations in the Three Realms. Nowadays, a large part of the civil servants in the Great Xia Dynasty called him a teacher. For such a character, Shangguan Quan didn't want to kill him.

"Master Weng thinks that the prince's succession to the throne is the rule, and I am trying to usurp the throne?" Shangguan Quan asked calmly.

Although Weng Youli also knew that the superiority at this time was already in the hands of Shangguanquan, and he could save his own life only by being aware of current affairs, but as the food of the emperor, he was loyal to the emperor, and as the assistant minister of the government, he defended the minister. Only the great leader of the Xia Dynasty would be admired by others. Today, even if the blood was spilled on Chengqian Palace, he would also scold Shangguan Quan.

"Shangguanquan, as the uncle of the little prince, it is shameful to seek the throne of your nephew. As a descendant of the Shangguan family, you do not put the stability of the Great Xia Dynasty first. What face do you have to sit on the throne? The Shangguan family does not have you This kind of unfaithful and unfilial beast." Weng Youli straightened his back, his thin body refused to bend down at all, and his gray beard was raised up and down, which made people feel admiration.

Several cabinet ministers were also infected by Weng Youli, and stood behind him one after another. Although they didn't say anything, they showed their determination with their actions.

Duke Lu suddenly felt shocked. He seemed to see the hope of the Jiang family. Although Shangguanquan temporarily controlled the Chengqian Palace, it did not mean that he could successfully usurp the throne. The emperor had already established a crown prince. heir to the throne.

Princess Duanmin walked slowly up the stairs, turned around and looked at Weng Youli and the others.

Weng Youli's face sank, and he pointed to Princess Duanmin and asked, "Princess, what do you mean?"

Shangguanquan's subordinates did not stop Princess Duanmin at all, so it can be seen that she is also a member of Shangguanquan, and several courtiers stepped forward to express their submission to Shangguanquan, and there was a moment of confrontation in Chengqian Hall Only Shangguan never moved.

"Lord Weng thought that Shangguan Rui was a good person. His father's preferred heir was not him at all. He killed his father and younger brother. If it wasn't for Brother Quan's blessing and fate, he might have died like his father." Princess Duanmin He sneered and said, "Shangguan Rui is a beast that is not as good as a beast. Prince Qin has guarded Da Xia for so many years, but because of his great achievements, he was removed by Shangguan Rui. I am afraid that you don't know that the old prince is not an old prince. Died of a sudden attack."

You must know that the emperor misunderstood the old prince at the beginning, and Lin Zixuan thought of this countermeasure. If Shangguan Quan and others wanted to plan for the throne, they would not leave behind elders like the old prince who were highly respected and powerful. After the emperor's sanity, he planted it on Prince Qin, making Shangguan Rui suspicious of Prince Qin.

At that time, Shangguan Rui was under the control of drugs on the one hand, and on the other hand, he didn't have much time to live. In his anger, he didn't think much about it, so he would attack the old prince.

And the fact was as they expected, Shangguan Rui instigated Shangguan Yu to kill his father.

Shangguan Quan, Princess Duanmin and others let Shangguan Rui cut off their most important helper without taking action themselves. At the same time, announcing the real cause of the old prince's death at the last moment can also make Shangguan Jue stand on their side. Totally killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, Shangguan Quan and Princess Duanmin didn't know that Shangguan Jue already knew that the old prince didn't die of illness on the night of his death.

"Shangguan Rui was afraid that his son would not be able to sit firmly on the throne in the future, so he instigated Shangguan Yu to kill his father. He himself is a beast who kills his father, and he also made Shangguan Yu, who is obsessed with interests, become a beast."

Princess Duanmin's words had a great impact on Weng Youli and others. There were two meanings in her words. First of all, the cause of death of the former emperor was different, and it seemed to be related to the emperor, even if the emperor ascended the throne. The name is not justified, and the second is that the emperor killed Prince Qin.

If these two things are true, even Weng Youli and others don't know what to say about the emperor.

Seeing that the faces of Weng Youli and the others had softened, Duke Lu couldn't help feeling anxious, and shouted again and again: "How can you believe the words of rebellious ministers and thieves!"
