Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 273 Chapter 285
Because of this pressure, the whole scene became silent again, even the most stupid person could smell the danger in an instant.

However, at this moment, there was a commotion outside, and then, a stunning woman in a red gauze led a group of murderous guards to the Tai Chi Hall.

"That girl, Ni Rong, do you know what crime should be for trespassing on the Tai Chi Hall?"

This woman has smoky eyebrows and a charming figure, exuding a strong charm of a mature woman. Zuo Ming already knew her identity without guessing. Nirong's".

"You are the legendary great master Zuo Ming? The most intelligent man in the world? I don't think so! You think you control everything and forcefully confirm the crown prince in the name of His Majesty, but you ignore one point, that is military power !
Now that His Majesty is dying, and the main forces of the Tang Dynasty are one west and one south, it can be said that whoever controls the military power in the capital is tantamount to controlling the imperial power.Unfortunately, [-]% of the troops in the capital are already under the control of this palace!What do you use to fight me? "

This woman may be because of the winning chance, she didn't embellish her words at all, and she had a naked attitude of change.

As soon as she finished speaking, the faces of the ministers in the entire hall changed.Whether it is those who have supported the fifth prince or those who have not, they all feel the crisis is coming.

This woman dared to be so arrogant, and made it clear that she would not leave any evidence behind, so all those who knew her must die, and they, unfortunately, were on the death list.

"You know, your behavior is tantamount to treason!"

Still with an unhurried and lazy expression, Zuo Ming said lightly.

"Treason? This palace is His Majesty's most beloved concubine, and Xiner is His Majesty's most beloved son! In the whole world, who doesn't know that His Majesty regards the two of us as flesh and blood?

And you, one is a widow who lost her father and guarded the mausoleum, and the other is a prince with a foreign surname who established a country in another place. Regardless of ethics, mother and child are divorced, and you are trying to seize my Tang Dynasty. Your conspiracy will kill you in the hall!
cluck cluck cluck!Do you think those ignorant people will believe in a living queen mother like me, or will they believe in you two despicable and shameless dead people? "

With a mocking smile, Ni Rongshi said to Zuo Ming in a playful way.

She has been planning this matter for a long time, and now that the entire imperial city is under her control, she can't think of any possibility of losing.

"Very good script, very strict logic, but, are you really sure that [-]% of the troops in the capital are already under your control?"

Looking at her triumphant smiling face, Zuo Ming shook his head lightly, and said in a very pitiful and mocking tone.

Zuo Ming's words made Ni Rong's face change, but then he smiled softly again, "What? You want to deceive me? Are you pretending to be these generals beside me?"

She thought Zuo Ming was trying to scare her.

"The dogs around you are certainly real! But do you think it's still decades ago? Controlling a general is equivalent to controlling the entire army?

hehe!You should be the new guards of Chang'an!It is estimated that this woman single-handedly pulled it up. His Majesty really loves the mother and son very much, so he will respond to her every request.But because of this, you have not experienced the training of the military academy system.

You are really sad!Even the owners of the military's three special privileges don't know!Let me tell you!Although the military orders in your hands belong to the first-level military dispatch seal, there are three levels of privileged classes above it!
One is the emperor's jade seal. As long as you have your majesty's jade seal, your seal is a pile of scrap iron.The second is the empress dowager's diamond necklace. This is a rule set by the late emperor. Seeing the necklace is like seeing the late emperor. Even if it is His Majesty's jade seal, it must be courteous!And the third object representing the privileged class is the diamond dagger in the hands of this king!This is also the seal of this king when he was qualified as the regent!
Now that the military guards are changed every four years, it is no longer the era when the generals were more majestic than Yinxin!Now that this king has jade seals, necklaces and daggers in one, do you think those soldiers who swore to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty and the Li family will listen to your orders or to my king's orders? "

With a cold smile, Zuo Ming only waved, and Qian Zhu walked over from the side carrying the tray containing the three seals, and presented it to the imperial case.

"Is there such a thing?"

Zuo Ming didn't say a word, Nirong's complexion became ugly, and when Qian Zhu brought out the three seals, Nirong's entire pretty face turned pale, but she still turned to her side unwillingly. Those traitors.

The faces of those rebel generals were extremely ugly now, and after a long silence, one of them said with difficulty, "Ma'am, there is indeed such a thing... It is mentioned in military discipline and various military documents, but Except for the jade seal above, the other two seals only gave an appearance and a way to distinguish the authenticity, and did not mention their attribution... And... and all the time, everyone only regarded the other two seals as just a legend . . . "

"So what! Since the document does not state the ownership of the other two seals, it proves that they belong to His Majesty! We only need to claim that these three seals were stolen by them!"

Ni Rongshi was obviously in a daze, and gritted her silver teeth and said viciously.

"Steal? Hahahahahaha! Nirong, raise your head and take a good look at the paintings behind this king! This necklace has been worn by the Queen Mother for decades! How dare you say that she is from Her Majesty? Where did you steal it? And this dagger, when this king took him around, I’m afraid you were not born yet! It is also in the portrait of this king in the middle of the lobby of Gewu College, everyone knows it! Do you think you Does this rhetoric make sense?

Furthermore, do you think this king really needs to rely on these three dead things to gain control of the army?The veterans from back then are not dead yet, do you think they will forget this king's face?
Of course, the most important thing is that His Majesty has already arrived outside the palace through the secret passage, and now he may have led five thousand dark guards and ten thousand Jinwu guards to Suzaku Gate!
Hehehe!You don’t know about that secret path, do you?That is a special secret road that connects the Ganlu Hall, Taiji Hall and the Mausoleum of the First Emperor!It was built by the first emperor back then, and there were no more than five insiders. Even His Majesty probably only just found out about it!Here!Its exit is next to the Queen Mother! "

Laughing and talking, Zuo Ming ordered people to remove the screen behind the dragon chair, revealing the true face of Empress Changsun and the secret passage beside her.

"No... Impossible! How did you know that I would choose to make a move today!"

Hearing that Li Chengqian had been transferred out by Zuo Ming, Ni Rong's face turned pale again, and then said in disbelief.

"Of course I don't know? It's just that besides the Queen Mother, there is actually Your Majesty behind the screen just now! How could His Majesty not be present when choosing the heir to the crown prince? It's just that when you came later, you brought so many people with you." , aggressive, I am a relatively timid person, so of course I should have someone send him away from the secret path first!"

Spreading his hands again, Zuo Ming laughed mockingly, "No, no! You guys, don't be too impulsive? There is a track under this secret passage, so although His Majesty didn't leave for too long, but at the speed of the track , It is not something you can catch up with! If you go down, there will be no second result other than feeding the organ."

He said this to those generals who were about to move. After hearing this, the faces of those generals were filled with despair.

And then, a slightly more clever general immediately knelt down on the ground, "Regent, spare your life! Empress Dowager, please forgive me! I was just confused for a while, and I was bewitched by this woman. I didn't mean to rebel and force the palace! Please ask the regent to come around!" Let's bypass Weichen this time! Let's bypass Weichen this time!"

"Forcing the palace to rebel is a capital crime that implicates the nine clans! But I am not a bloodthirsty person. If I remember correctly, you should be General Zhao Wu of the Zuojing Town Guard. Your father Zhao Heng was once a close minister of the late emperor. With this relationship, I can decide to spare you the crime of genocide! But in exchange, you must confess all of your accomplices in this matter! In addition, who poisoned His Majesty by what method, you also write a note to this palace Submit it and give it to the regent to decide!"

Seeing the panicked look of the general, Empress Changsun sighed deeply, and then said slowly.

Her words immediately changed the faces of all the ministers present, and everyone knew that His Majesty was not sick, but poisoned.

Those who had supported the fifth prince Li Xin were all in mourning.By this time, they would be really stupid if they didn't know what was going on.

They regretted it, regretted that they had boarded Li Xin's thief ship.

And when he heard that the person in front of him was Zhao Heng's son, Zuo Ming also had a strange look on his face.She still has some impressions of Zhao Heng. Back then, Li Shimin was the main force against the three major families in Lingnan.

Now that Zhao Heng is dead, his glory has been passed on to his son.

"Are you Zhao Heng's son? You can be regarded as the descendant of an old man. How about this! After this incident, you apologize yourself, and your eldest son will inherit the title of your Zhao family. The king and the queen mother can pretend that nothing happened! It is to save your father's face!"

Since he is an old man, Zuo Ming naturally wants to save face. The most important thing is that their Zhao family has indeed made great contributions to Li Shimin. If Li Shimin is still alive, he probably doesn't want Zhao Heng's descendants to be implicated like this .

"Thank you, Prince Regent! Thank you, Queen Mother! This minister must explain everything in detail!"

Having received the promise from Zuo Ming and the Queen Mother that his family would not be harmed, Zhao Wu suddenly sighed, and knelt down in grief and pain.
