Chapter 727 Framed, battle for the throne

The palace door was pushed open from the outside with a bang, Concubine Yin and the third prince rushed in with a group of guards, the palace people outside the door tried to stop them, but were forcibly pushed aside.

Qin Wang looked at the intruders coldly, and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by the third uncle and the noble concubine? Without the permission of the emperor, they brought so many people in!"

Concubine Yin walked directly to the dragon bed, checked Emperor Hongguang's breathing, and immediately began to cry: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wake up! It's all because my concubine came late, and I didn't even see the Emperor for the last time!"

"It's impossible!" Yin Qingyi's eyes widened, and she said in a trembling voice, "The emperor just fainted, it's impossible to..."

I was too panicked just now, and no one had time to find out the situation of the emperor. If the emperor is really dead, then she and the prince will inevitably be criticized, especially when the emperor vomited blood and died after drinking the medicine. Maybe the bowl of medicine something wrong!

"You still want to pretend to be stupid!" Concubine Yin wiped away her tears, and glared at King Qin and Yin Qingyi angrily, "It's a pity that King Qin is the one who loves you the most on weekdays. How dare you murder the Emperor, it's really frenzied! Today, the Palace will definitely arrest you Bring to justice and avenge the emperor!"

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about!" Yin Qingyi hurriedly said, "How could we murder the Emperor! For no reason, how could Your Majesty talk nonsense!"

Concubine Yin said sharply: "I have received a secret report that you are going to poison the emperor. I didn't believe it at first, but just in case, I came here with the third prince to have a look. I didn't expect that you really did it! Want to deny it, okay! After the imperial doctor examines it, we will see how you deny it!"

When Concubine Yin came, she brought an imperial physician over, he looked at the emperor first, then checked the medicine bowl, and said: "What the imperial concubine said is right, the emperor was indeed poisoned to death, the poison is in this medicine bowl .”

"What else do you have to say!" Yin Guifei shouted.

"We didn't inflict the poison, it has nothing to do with us!" Yin Qingyi's face turned pale, and he looked at King Qin in bewilderment, "My lord, please explain clearly, we really didn't inflict the poison, we don't know anything about it!"

The king of Qin showed sarcasm: "The imperial doctor has not seen the emperor's grandfather yet, and the imperial concubine said that the emperor's grandfather had passed away as soon as she entered the door, and she was sure that the emperor's grandfather was poisoned, as if she knew it in advance. I really want to doubt that this bowl Poison, does it have anything to do with the imperial concubine!"

"Even now, you still want to pour dirty water on Ben Gong! You really can't cry without seeing the coffin!" Concubine Yin said, "Bring people in!"

A maid was escorted in with her arms cut backwards, and the guards pushed her to the ground roughly.

"Yi'er!" Yin Qingyi called the servant girl's name, turned her head and asked Concubine Yin Gui, "Your Majesty, what are you doing with the concubine's servant girl!"

Concubine Yin said: "Just admit that she is your maidservant. The poison I found on her body is the same as the poison poisoned by the emperor. It is the poison you and the King of Qin ordered her to use!"

"The imperial concubine has not given the imperial physician the identification of the poison found on Yi'er, so she is sure that it is the same as the poison in the emperor's grandfather." Qin Wang sneered, "I don't know yet, when did the imperial concubine know so much about poisons?"

"Of course I have already consulted the imperial physician!" Even though she was caught repeatedly, Concubine Yin didn't care.They were well-prepared and they would definitely be able to support Ming Yu's ascension to the throne. Now it's just a formality. It doesn't matter if there are any flaws. As long as Ming Yu ascends the throne, no one dares to say anything!
The third prince shook his head with regret, and said: "King Qin, I really didn't expect you to do such a thing, you really disappointed me!"

"My king is not surprised by what the third uncle did," Qin Wang said, "It's just that this king thought that the third uncle would deal with us brothers and nephews, but it's too vicious and merciless to attack Grandpa Huang so cruelly! "

The disappointment on the third prince's face became even stronger: "You don't know how to repent, and I have nothing to say."

Qin Wang didn't bother to look at his sanctimonious appearance, sat down on the chair, closed his eyes and meditated.

Seeing his calm look, Yin Qingyi relaxed a little from her nervousness.Concubine Yin and the third prince looked at each other, and there was a hint of suspicion in their eyes. King Qin was so confident that they couldn't help but heighten their vigilance. Could it be that King Qin also prepared some countermeasures?
But vigilance is vigilance, they are not very worried, without the protective umbrella of the emperor, King Qin's own power alone cannot compare with them.

After the death bell rang, the royal family members and civil and military ministers all rushed to the palace. The harem concubines and princes and princesses were already kneeling in the bedroom, crying louder than the other.

The clan and ministers also cried for a while, the emperor, and Prime Minister Yin wiped his tears and said: "When the ministers came to see the emperor during the day, the emperor was fine, why suddenly... what is going on?"

Concubine Yin's beautiful eyes were as red and swollen as walnuts, and she was the saddest one. She said bitterly, "The emperor's body had already improved, but he died suddenly because he was poisoned by King Qin! King Qin was ambitious and tried to usurp the throne. Today, I will execute this traitor to death in front of all the princes and ministers!"

"Yin family!" The queen scolded angrily, "Your Majesty's bones are not yet cold, so you can't wait to murder King Qin! I'm not dead yet, so it's not your turn to make decisions here!"

Concubine Yin said coldly: "I almost forgot to say that King Qin poisoned the emperor and intended to rebel, and the empress must be involved. Not only the king of Qin will be executed, but the empress is also not qualified to sit in this position!"

"You!" The queen was furious, "You evil woman, you are full of nonsense, you are the one who offends you! Someone, let me arrest her and take off her phoenix crown!"

"Who dares!" Yin Guifei shouted.

A court lady was about to make a move when she was stopped. The surrounding guards pulled out half of their sabers and pointed them at the Queen and the King of Qin.

"It's reversed!" The queen was shocked and angry, "Do you all want to rebel?!"

Concubine Yin sneered, and said: "The empress and King Qin are the ones who want to rebel! The king of Qin poisoned the emperor, the evidence of the crime is solid, you'd better arrest it without your hands, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

Everyone present was shocked and stopped crying. The princes and princesses looked at each other and chose to remain silent. No matter if it was the third prince or King Qin, they were not something they could provoke.

The tenth prince hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "The noble concubine must have made a mistake. King Qin has always been filial, so it is impossible for him to murder his father. There must be a misunderstanding."

He had already offended the third prince once, and with the personality of the third prince, once he ascended the throne, he would definitely not be spared.He could only choose to gamble that the King of Qin would not be easily defeated. If there was an eventuality, then he could only be considered unlucky!
The ministers of King Qin's faction also followed suit: "That's right! King Qin has been serving the emperor with all his heart and soul. He will never murder the emperor! This must be framed by traitors, and there are other people who want to usurp the throne!"

"If the King of Qin really hurt the Emperor's heart, he would not choose to poison himself when he was sick. Doesn't this clearly make others suspect? So this is definitely framed! The people behind the scenes killed the Emperor and wanted to kill the King of Qin. Heart to death!"

The members of the third prince's faction were not to be outdone, and retorted: "Before the emperor's medicine is imported, it has to be inspected by the imperial physician. Others have no chance of poisoning, and only the king of Qin is deeply trusted by the emperor, so he can take advantage of the sickness. , who else could the murderer be if he wasn't him!"

The ministers of the two factions quarreled fiercely, while the Ninth Prince's faction looked serious. No matter who wins the Third Prince or the King of Qin, it will not be a good thing for them. The emperor died suddenly, and the Ninth Prince was still far away in Nanyue County. The day lily is cold, and none of these ministers can escape when the new emperor is enthroned and liquidated!
Only the neutral ministers are the calmest. They wipe the corners of their eyes with their sleeves from time to time, regardless of how other people argue.

"That's enough, stop arguing!" Prime Minister Yin suddenly yelled, stopping the two parties who were blushing, "Who is the murderer? Let's put it aside for now. A country cannot live without a king. The most urgent task is to elect a new emperor, and then Then the new emperor will punish the murderer."

"The prime minister's words are reasonable," a minister immediately agreed, "The prime minister is one person under ten thousand people, and is most valued by the emperor. The selection of a new emperor should be presided over by the prime minister!"

Prime Minister Yin shook his head, and said: "I am deeply ashamed of being wrongly loved by the emperor and occupying the position of prime minister. How can I preside over such an important event. Prince He is the most respected person in the royal family, and Prince He presides over it." It is most appropriate to elect a new emperor."

"Is the prime minister joking?" Chu Guogong said, "Historically, only when there is neither a prince nor a queen, the royal clan will preside over everything. If the queen is still alive, the prime minister will say such things. What is the intention?"

Prince He and the Yin family have always been close, if Prince He really stepped forward, the dragon chair would belong to the third prince!Although the Queen prefers the King of Qin rather than the Ninth Prince, but the Ninth Prince is not in the capital now, the Baili family can only help the Queen and the Yin family fight in the arena first, try to delay for some time, and only hope that the Ninth Prince can come back in time.

Prime Minister Yin said: "The King of Qin murdered the Emperor, and the Empress is also involved. Until her suspicion is cleared, she can't interfere in anything. Does Duke Chu not even understand this?"

The Duke of Chu snorted coldly, and said: "Based on a few words from the noble concubine, the empress and the king of Qin are identified as the murderers. Then the old man also said that the noble concubine and the third prince are the murderers. Should they also avoid suspicion and cancel the third prince's election as the new emperor?" Qualifications!"

Concubine Yin's complexion darkened, and she said angrily: "I testify that the King of Qin is the murderer, but there are people and physical evidence! Chu Guogong casually slandered me and the third prince, and it is the next crime! I think you are the first offender, so let it go , dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for not saving face for Duke Chu!"

"The so-called witnesses and material evidences were all produced by the noble concubine. Who saw it with their own eyes?" Chu Guogong said disdainfully, "There is nothing wrong with trying to incriminate the crime. Anyway, I don't believe that the king of Qin is the murderer, let alone the queen and the queen." What does this matter have anything to do with it, I don't believe the evidence you have at all!"

The third prince stared at Chu Guogong coldly, and said: "Chu Guogong's words are a bit of a shame, if Chu Guogong wants to rely on the old and sell the old, I can only ask you to leave here!"

"The third prince has such a big tone!" A minister said, "The emperor has never spoken to the Duke of Chu in this tone. The third prince has not yet become the new emperor. With such a big air, if he really ascends to the throne of God, I don't know yet." How amazing!"

The eyes of the third prince were even colder, this old man dared to scold him like this, he would be the first one to take the knife when he ascended to the throne of God!

The third prince looked at Prime Minister Yin and winked at Prime Minister Yin. He was already impatient arguing with these people. Talk nonsense!
