The reborn king is ferocious

Chapter 277
Empress Xiao and Taishi Xiao became more arbitrary in the capital, and even King Yu, who had always been low-key and almost forgotten his existence, began to go to court and take over some affairs.

When the Xiao clan was in the limelight, suddenly there were rumors that the Great King Luo Xiuyuan had actually passed away, but Empress Xiao kept the mourning secret.

So all the officials were shocked and asked to see the king no matter what.

Empress Xiao made excuses in every possible way, claiming that Luo Xiuyuan was just unconscious and weak, and that many people would disturb him and aggravate his condition.

Really unable to resist the requests of those officials, under the witness of King Yu and the protection of the king's palace, Empress Xiao agreed to let them meet Luo Xiu far away through the gauze curtain.

Under such conditions, the officials kneeling in the front row could only see a figure lying vaguely in the hazy mist, and they couldn't even see their eyebrows clearly.

Someone wanted to step forward to take a closer look, but was stopped by the guards.

Empress Xiao's face is chilling, and King Yu is surrounded by troops, who can say anything else?
In the chilling silence, Empress Xiao waved her sleeve lightly and said: "Have you seen it? Your Majesty is still here, and Tianqiong Jiangshan is still there. This palace is only passing on the will of the King. You are all important officials in the court. How can you take the message seriously? This time, the Palace will not pursue it, you go back and reflect on it."

However, some people dare to break through and speak out.

"Wait, mother, I haven't seen my father for a long time, and I miss you very much. Can you come over and have a look?" Prince Luo Tianyuan suddenly led a group of heavily armed guards striding forward.

Xiao did not change his expression behind, but clenched his hands tightly in the wide armholes.

"Your father is not feeling well, and it is not suitable to see each other for the time being. You go back first, and father will..."

Empress Xiao's words were interrupted by the crown prince: "What's wrong with the father? I have never asked the doctor what the reason is. I also want to learn from the filial sons of the past and present to seek medical treatment for the father. Only the father Antai , I, Tianqiong, can make the country prosperous and the people safe."

What the crown prince said was so sincere that the ministers all echoed him.

Only now did Empress Xiao understand that the ministers suddenly wanted to see Luo Xiuyuan, who was the mastermind behind this incident.

Does the prince know what he is doing?

She planned for this son in this way, but he always acted like a child who didn't grow up, not only accomplishing nothing, but also stabbing at her everywhere.

King Yu glanced at Empress Xiao, then looked at the prince, stepped forward and said: "His Royal Highness, the king's condition is complicated, and it won't be clear in a while. There are so many people here, and the holy car is scared, so let them go away first." , the empress will explain herself."

King Yu's attitude was humble, but the prince sneered: "What does it matter to you if the prince wants to see his father? How can we allow you, an outsider, to interrupt our mother and son's conversation? Someone, let the prince throw him out."

The crown prince has always been protected under the wings of Empress Xiao, and it is surprising that he has shown his power this time.

Therefore, those ministers only knew that the prince would come to support them, but they didn't expect that the prince seemed to be a different person today, even Queen Xiao dared to contradict him, and he ignored King Yu.

You must know that Empress Xiao is always speaking for the king, who doesn't know that what she means is the imperial decree?
And Yu Wang has been dormant for many years, and this time I don't know how Xiao Hou used him to come out of the mountain, and Yu Wang's action is not like a hermit. Grand Master Xiao is the head of a group of ministers who keep pace with each other.

The prince is so unwilling to live?
King Yu remained motionless, but only glanced lightly at Empress Xiao.

Empress Xiao's eyes flickered, but she still said calmly: "The prince has been helping the palace with state affairs, and he is really overwhelmed, so he lost his composure. Someone, send the prince back to the palace to rest."

Immediately, a group of guards poured into the gate of the palace, surrounded the people led by the prince, and wanted to "send" him back to the palace.

The prince looked at Empress Xiao quietly, with endless pain in his eyes: "Mother, do you really want to treat me like this?"

Empress Xiao said coldly: "This palace is for your own good."

The prince smiled wryly: "For my own good? Why did you hide my father's death from everyone, but you also hid it from me? You would rather pass on a false imperial decree, and only restore my crown prince status, but refuse to let me ascend the throne... What is your intention? where?"

The tears in his eyes faded little by little, his eyes gradually hardened, and he pressed towards Empress Xiao step by step.

Empress Xiao didn't bother to talk to him, would he understand?

If the crown prince understood, he would not have taken this move.He didn't believe that Empress Xiao, who had been raised for many years, came to force the palace with outsiders... Was it her fault?

King Yu tried again to stop the prince's footsteps: "His Royal Highness, you can't treat your mother like this."

The prince suddenly laughed, his eyes were red, and he looked at Empress Xiao with terrifying eyes: "I still respect your kindness of nurturing you for more than [-] years. If you abolish King Yu, take back the power in his hand, and return the royal power With me, I will respect you as the empress dowager, and enjoy wealth and glory. Otherwise, there are some things I have to say, and let the people of the world judge."

The meaning of the threat in these words is to completely make an enemy of King Xiao Houyu?
Empress Xiao raised her eyebrows, sat down, stared at the prince and said, "I would like to hear what you have to say for the world to judge? What qualifications do you have to judge me and your uncle?" !"

She didn't believe that the prince could say something that was worthwhile enough to exchange for the throne.

The prince raised his hand and clapped three times, a big gap suddenly opened in the hall, and a group of dead soldiers fell from the sky.

Except for the prince, everyone was shocked, King Yu even hid Empress Xiao behind him, drew out his sword and waited in full force.

But the target of those dead men was not King Xiao Houyu, but Luo Xiuyuan who was lying on the bed.

King Yu miscalculated the prince's goal and protected Empress Xiao, but he couldn't stop those dead soldiers from cutting the gauze curtain, so everything on the bed could no longer be blocked.

Luo Xiuyuan's expression had long since lost its vitality. If it wasn't for the midwinter, the temple had been deliberately lit with a lot of incense, and his body had been disposed of, the aura of death might not have been concealed long ago.

From the looks of it, Luo Xiuyuan had not been dead for a day or two, but Empress Xiao was able to pass the imperial decree in his name so calmly and calmly, King Yu seemed to be an accomplice without a doubt.

The prince didn't let out a cry of grief, but his first reaction was: "Mother, how do you explain it, how do you explain it to the world? How long do you want to hide it? Isn't the father sick? Why is it like this?"

He pointed at Empress Xiao and spoke harshly, and he couldn't help feeling deeply pleased. For so many years, he had listened to Empress Xiao's words with trepidation, fearing that if he did something wrong, she would abandon him, and he would not be able to be the crown prince or ascend to the throne. on the throne.

As a result, Luo Tianyuan was ridiculed by others for fearing that women would be timid until now, and finally, today he will feel proud.

The father passed away, and he should have been enthroned, but Xiao Hou kept it from everyone, even he didn't trust him. Could it be that Xiao Queen wanted to become king on her own?

This cognition has been in panic since Luo Tianyuan received the conclusive news of Luo Xiuyuan's death. Fortunately, he received the guidance and support of an expert, and he also knew the reason why Empress Xiao treated him like this for many years, so he set up this game.

First secretly inciting the courtiers to make trouble, so that Empress Xiao had to agree with them to meet Luo Xiuyuan, but the prince "unfortunately" couldn't catch up, so Empress Xiao relaxed her vigilance.

The prince secretly arranged outside, and had already controlled King Yu's men and horses near the sleeping hall, reappearing to expose the fact that Luo Xiuyuan had passed away, leaving Empress Xiao with nowhere to retreat.

Accompanied by the prince's stern accusations, a large number of people appeared outside the palace, surrounding the former Xiao empress.

Empress Xiao looked at the prince, and a cold smile floated on her lips: "The prince has finally grown up, and he does things after making plans, without leaking."

Although Empress Xiao's tone was very sarcasm, the crown prince felt that he did a perfect job in this game, and he couldn't help but proudly said: "Thank mother for her praise, but unfortunately my father passed away. As the only son, I should work hard. Originally, I wanted to For many years, the queen mother also worked hard to help the father, and she worked very hard, and spent her life in the harem... However, the reason for the father's death has not been found out, and the bones are not cold..."

Speaking of this, the crown prince burst into tears, threw himself on Luo Xiuyuan's bed and said, "As a son of man, it's difficult for me as a son. I can't let my father die in ignorance, but the mother's kindness in nurturing... My son can't doubt disobedience...Father, why did you go there so suddenly and in such a hurry, quickly teach me how to have both filial piety and righteousness?"

Empress Xiao sneered: "You don't have to make things difficult, just imprison me and order people to investigate strictly. King Yu just obeyed the orders of my palace. He didn't know the cause of the king's illness and death, and he is your uncle. In the future Don't embarrass the person who is loyal to you, the prince."

After all, Queen Xiao walked out calmly, and King Yu called out: "Wait a minute. Prince, everything the queen does is for you. Your highness, don't listen to the instigation of villains and misunderstand the queen. If your highness still has doubts, I will The king is willing to hand over all the soldiers and horses under his command to the command of His Highness the Crown Prince, so that His Highness the Crown Prince and Grand Master Xiao will control eighty percent of the horses in Beijing, and enthronement is just around the corner."

King Yu is trying to use his military power to offset the crimes of Empress Xiao?
The ministers kneeling on the ground couldn't help but be amazed, recalling that King Yu came out of the mountain and was reused, and the power in his hands was about to be handed over before it was hot. The folk rumors that he coveted the throne seemed unbelievable.

However, King Yu did it for the sake of Empress Xiao...and it is intriguing to do so.

The Prince's crying stopped abruptly, his face changed, and he looked at Empress Xiao and King Yu a little more cruelly.

"What does Uncle Wang mean? If there is no Uncle Wang, the Queen Mother probably wouldn't be able to hide the death of her father so closely. You excuse each other. Could it be that the prince is a fool?"

King Yu knelt down slowly, raised his sword above his head and said: "I dare not, I just ask the prince not to do things that hurt relatives and enemies. I regret it. Just like what the queen said, the prince is getting more and more wings now. , It’s also time to show up. The king’s death before was indeed due to a serious illness and he died. The minister is also an insider. The reason why the queen hides it from the world is because she wants to do more for the prince..."

The prince was furious: "Bah, after all, you just want to get rid of the mother's crime. With you here, the prince is nothing more than a puppet even if he ascends the throne. Grand Master Xiao? He only has the Xiao family and my mother in his eyes. Will you assist the prince wholeheartedly?"
