The wind and the moon are irrelevant

Chapter 176

How can it be!Shi Hongwei shook his head blankly: "There is no change in Lidu, why did you deploy reinforcements in advance!"

"There is indeed no movement in Lidu." Someone came in from outside, the rainwater flowed down the armor, the water splashed, the iron armor clanged, and the sound was like a bell: "But once the prince's rescue order is issued, the imperial army and the city guards are duty-bound!"

Shi Hongwei frowned, and when he saw this person's face clearly, his face darkened: "Commander Lian."

Lian Heng took the helmet, bowed to Yin Ge first, then frowned and said, "Lian Heng is responsible for defending the capital of Lian, and even more responsible for protecting the royal family. Prime Minister Shi privately dispatched troops to surround Longtai Mountain. for what?"

Shi Hongwei remained silent, his eyes rolled anxiously, as if he was thinking of a countermeasure.

The queen was anxious, and said softly: "The emperor is dead. If we talk about status and status here, I should respect my palace. When will it be the turn of the prince and the courtiers to shout?"

"Father had a decree before his death that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics." Feng Ming cupped his hands and said, "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, but your empress will listen to it, so please don't speak nonsense."

"You!" Empress Shi glanced over, stared at Feng Ming and cursed: "When is it your turn to intervene in my royal family's affairs?!"

"Your Majesty." With raised eyebrows, Feng Ming said: "This minister is Princess Nanping's son-in-law."

You are also a member of the royal family, why can't you intervene?

Her face turned blue, Empress Shi gritted her teeth, and wanted to say more, when she heard a loud shout from outside: "The imperial doctor is here——"

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, Shi Hongwei came back to his senses, without saying a word, he stretched out his hand to stop the imperial physician and the assistant behind him, and shouted angrily: "Bold! Your Majesty has passed away, how can the immortal body be explored arbitrarily!"

"Prime Minister Shi." Yin Gezhi said calmly, "Are you afraid that someone will find out that your father died of chronic poisoning?"

His body froze, Shi Hongwei snorted and laughed: "Why should the old man be afraid? So what if it's a chronic poison?"

"If it's a chronic poison, it has nothing to do with me and Guan Qingyue." Yin Gezhi raised his eyes, staring at Yin Chenjue next to him, and said, "Chronic poison has a slow onset and takes a large amount of food. Only those who have been with the emperor for a long time Only people have a chance."

Those who are always by the emperor's side are the people in the palace.It just so happened that during this time the emperor's dragon body was ill, and the queen had been serving the medicine.

Empress Shi's face turned pale, and Yin Chenjue was even more flustered, with cold sweat all over his forehead.

"I also find it strange to say it." Feng Ming shrugged his shoulders, and said loudly: "Just now His Majesty fell to the ground suddenly, and his breath was still there. The prince told him to look for an imperial doctor. I searched everywhere, but there was no sign of the imperial doctor. According to the rules, Your Majesty is going out. Generally, an imperial physician is required to accompany you. Dare I ask Prime Minister Shi, why is there no imperial physician among the entourage you arranged? Did you know that His Majesty was going to have an accident and deliberately refused to let the imperial physician rescue you?"

The clan members were in an uproar, and the people standing beside the queen and the prince immediately retreated.

Shi Hongwei was silent.

He felt that today's plan was perfect. The emperor took the last dose of medicine in the morning and died due to his calculations. He could use the opportunity to pin the crime on Yin Chenbi and send the crown prince to the throne.

Everything is a matter of course, but how did it become like this?

Blame Yin Chenbi and Feng Ming for their eloquent tongues?Or should I blame Lian Heng for coming too fast?Or should he be blamed for not having enough troops to mobilize to fight Yin Chenbi to the death?
It's all to blame!Nothing!These things are simply beyond the scope of what he can think of!If Yin Chenbi and Feng Ming hadn't spoken, he would have persuaded all the officials to confirm Yin Chenbi's crimes!If Lian Heng did not come, these five hundred soldiers would be enough to execute Yin Chenbi on the spot!If he can still mobilize his troops, he still has a chance to stand up now...

However, it was too late to say anything, and he lost this battle.

Somewhat awkwardly, he grabbed the imperial doctor's clothes and didn't want him to pass by, but the old imperial doctor was quite strong, and Feng Ming who was next to him was pulling him, and after a while the old imperial doctor broke free from the restraints and went forward to check the emperor's body.

All the clan members turned around to avoid, Yin Chenjue tremblingly grasped the corner of his mother's clothes, and shouted in a low voice: "Mother's queen..."

Empress Shi looked panic-stricken, she grabbed him tightly and motioned for silence, her mind went blank.

After an unknown amount of time, Wu Zuo and the imperial physician behind him put the three-clawed dragon-patterned silver robe on Wei Wendi's face again, and then bowed their hands and saluted everyone: "Your Majesty died of poisoning. It is relatively large, and it takes a long time to take it for a long time, which leads to the increasingly exhausted internal organs of the dragon... I asked His Majesty before, and I only felt that His Majesty's dragon body was weak, but there was nothing wrong with asking about food, and I didn't dare to think about poison. Now At first glance...it's a negligence of duty!"

Nanping listened, and finally came back to his senses, and looked at Shi Shi with red eyes: "The Empress!"

Shocked by the scolding, Empress Shi stepped back again and again, shaking her head and saying, "It's none of my business!"

Is there any use in arguing now?No!Nan Ping screamed uncontrollably, and rushed towards the queen, disregarding the etiquette, and beat her while crying: "You pay back my father's life!"

Yin Chenjue wanted to step forward, but just as he took a step, a hand appeared on his throat.

"Killing the king is unfaithful." Yin Gezhi's voice sounded like a ghost behind him: "Killing the father is unfilial."

His legs softened in fright, Yin Chenjue shook his head again and again, and pointed at Shi Hongwei: "It's all the prime minister's idea, it has nothing to do with me and the queen mother! He said that I can succeed to the throne sooner when the father dies. I... I was forced!"

With a livid face, Shi Hongwei opened his mouth and cursed: "A Dou who can't help you!"

They can still deny it to death, who knew that this useless prince would sell him first?
His eyes turned pale with anger, Shi Hongwei looked around, it was already a dead end anyway, so why did he have any scruples?
Stretching out his hand suddenly, he grabbed Princess Nanping who was fighting with the queen. Shi Hongwei clasped her throat with two fingers, and shouted angrily with red eyes: "Don't move!"

Feng Ming was holding the queen, Yin Gezhi was holding the crown prince, neither of them could react, Nanping had already been held by Shi Hongwei, and retreated to the side.

"Prime Minister Shi!" Lian Heng shouted, "Are you planning to rebel?"

"Rebellion?" Laughing loudly, Shi Hongwei gritted his teeth and said, "It's come to this point, so what if you rebel, so what if you don't rebel? Anyway, it won't end well."

"Brother..." Empress Shi's face was pale, and her whole body trembled.

He let out a sigh of relief, Shi Hongwei looked at Yin Gezhi: "The prince has won, and it is very beautiful to win. You have a lot of people, and you can definitely execute us here. If the crown prince is gone, you will be able to ascend the throne smoothly. Okay." ,very good!"

Yin Gezhi looked at him expressionlessly, without saying a word, as if he was waiting for him to finish speaking.

The rain was louder outside, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing. The female relatives were already crying, and the clan members hid behind Lian Heng, watching the confrontation on the other side in fear.

Turning his head to look at the remains of Emperor Wei Wen on the table next to him, Shi Hongwei sneered: "The self-proclaimed emperor of the ages died so horribly, it is unprecedented."

"Prime Minister Shi." Nan Ping, who was holding him hostage, gritted his teeth and said, "Father treats you well, how can you say such treasonous words when his heroic spirit is not at peace?"

"Heroic spirit?" Shi Hongwei laughed as soon as he heard this word: "The princess who grew up in the palace is good. She doesn't know anything. Do you really think that your father is a wise king? If he is a wise king, he won't kill you." Folk scholars will not appoint treacherous ministers and villains, and will not force loyal ministers and good generals into desperation to abandon their officials one after another!"

Nan Ping was stunned, his eyes opened wide, and he looked at his emperor brother opposite him in a daze.

Yin Gezhi frowned: "Prime Minister Shi, speak carefully."

"When Emperor Wei Wen was still alive, I was enough to be cautious." With a sneer, Shi Hongwei gritted his teeth: "When I first entered the official career, why didn't this old man devote himself to serving the country? But what about him? Even if he promoted Zhao Xu, he would not promote this old man! Zhao Xu Xu is such a coward, how can it be of great use? Our emperor doesn’t look at anything else, he only looks at calligraphy, and if he writes well, he will be an official! Does the prince know how the old man came to be the prime minister? Haha, after practicing for two I wrote a letter praising His Majesty in the words of the year, plus the kind words of the noble concubine at that time, in exchange for it!"

"You said, should such an emperor deserve to die? There are not many good officials left in the court who walk the right path, aren't they all forced by him! I poisoned him, what's wrong!"

Yin Ge stopped being silent, Nanping gasped a few breaths, opened his eyes and listened blankly, unable to cry for a while.

"My Shi family, how easy it is to get to this point?" With tears streaming down his face, Shi Hongwei shook his head, "I have been an official for so many years, and I never dared to make mistakes. The Shi family in the court didn't have much contact with me. I'm afraid that the emperor thinks that I'm forming a clique for personal gain and threatening his imperial power. But all these years of planning are ruined today, and it's in your hands! Your hands!"

Looking at Yin Gezhi angrily, Shi Hongwei said a little crazy: "If you don't let me live, then your most beloved imperial sister will die with me too!"

The last few words were roared so loudly that Shi Hongwei's expression was ferocious, and the veins in his hands were bulging.Nanping was pinched by him, his face turned pale, and he struggled in pain!
Yin Gezhi's pupils shrank slightly, pinched Yin Chenjue angrily and asked, "You don't even care about the prince's life?!"

"My life is in danger, why do I care about others?" With a low laugh, Shi Hong's only effort was to send Nanping to the west!

However, at this moment, a long knife came from behind with a cold air, and slashed fiercely on the back of his neck!The blade cut through the flesh, severed the meridians, and slashed on the bone with a clang.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze suddenly at this moment, Shi Hongwei let go of his hands, a little dumbfounded.I wanted to turn my head to look behind me, but I was afraid that my head would disappear if I turned my head.

He didn't react, he rolled his eyes blankly and thought, how could it be?Who reacted so quickly and would come to kill him at this time?Yin Gezhi and Feng Ming are standing opposite each other...

The knife on the back of his neck was pulled out, blood spattered everywhere, he fell back slowly, his eyes were wide open, he couldn't figure it out.

Turning his gaze, he saw the dome of the temple with murals painted on it, and turning back, he saw a face full of beards.

He has seen this face before. When Guan Qingyue was arrested, he followed Lian Heng to interrogate the people on the street. The interrogation was serious. He was a city guard.

Hey...why did this city guard pull off his beard?Why did he raise the knife again and slash at him?
