Tang Ling stood up blankly, as if he was stunned.
It took her a while to react, and her eyes covered with water mist slowly looked at Cai Xiao, Qiu Yi, Song Sheng and other ministers in the hall, and asked in a trembling voice: "My lords, who do you think ordered this despicable servant to poison me?"
"Father" After hearing Tang Ling's question, Cai Xiao, Qiu Yi, and Song Sheng swallowed their saliva in unison.
Song Sheng rolled his eyes and asked cautiously: "How is your Majesty doing now?"
Tang Ling's tears streamed down his face and he said in tears, "My father has already collapsed."
Ah, there was a sound of breathing in the hall.
First, the imperial guards present knelt on the ground one after another, and then Cai Xiao, Qiu Yi, Song Sheng and other ministers also knelt down.
Cao Lei walked up to Shangguan Xiu and asked stammeringly: "Brother Xiu, this, this, this, this."
The incident happened so suddenly that even Cao Lei, who had always been outspoken, could not utter a complete sentence at this time.
Shangguan Xiu was also shocked by this sudden turn of events and was speechless.
He pulled Cao Lei's clothes, lifted up his skirt, and knelt on the ground.
Luo Ren, Cao Lei and others also knelt down one after another.
"Your Majesty" Song Sheng wailed, beat the ground and cried loudly.
He cried and said intermittently: "It was King Yu who harmed Your Majesty, it was King Yu who harmed Your Majesty."
Who is Song Sheng?
The Minister of Internal History, he is shrewd to the core.
The emperor died suddenly, presumably without leaving a legacy, so who will succeed the throne?
No matter how much the emperor loved Tang Yu and how much he liked Tang Yu during his lifetime, he was still just a prince after all, and the princess was Tang Ling, who was the legitimate first heir.
Even if the emperor died in a strange way, even if King Yu didn't There was no reason to kill the king or his father, but he had to bite the bullet and say this if he wanted to cater to the future emperor.
"It was Brother Yu who harmed my father."
Tang Ling's body was shaken, as if he had been hit by a hammer, and he collapsed to the ground.
It's over.
King Yu is over.
Shangguan Xiu, who was kneeling at the end of the hall, sighed in his heart.
Now he finally understood that the assassin's trump card was not to assassinate the emperor, nor was the assassin's trump card to frame Tang Yu.
The real trump card was the last glass of poisoned wine.
It can be said that all the previous ones are the foreshadowing, the foreshadowing that will lead to Tang Yu.
This last glass of poisonous wine is the real fatal blow.
The real culprit behind the scenes has completely wiped out his own regicide atrocities, and then naturally placed this charge on King Yu.
How can King Yu defend himself now?
Thinking of this, Shangguanxiu slowly raised his head and looked at Tang Ling.
Tang Ling also looked over at him.
Her eyes were full of tears, but her eyes were smiling.
It turned out to be her The emperor was poisoned, and the murderer may have been the emperor's favorite prince during his lifetime.
This can be called a huge scandal.
Tang Ling cried for a while, then she slowly stood up, looked around at everyone present, and said in a serious voice: "No one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened in the palace today, do you understand?"
"Your Highness" everyone responded in unison.
Tang Ling waved his hand and pointed at the gathered palace maids, and ordered to the imperial guards: "Put them all under house arrest."
"Yes," the imperial guards agreed one after another, and escorted out all the trembling palace maids in the hall.
Tang Ling took a deep breath, looked at the Chief Minister Cai Xiao, the Minister of Seal Qiu Yi, the Minister of Internal History Song Sheng, and the General Wu Peng, and asked: "My lords and generals, there is such a big thing happening in the palace now.
According to your relationship, , how to deal with it?”
Before she could finish her words, she heard the sound of booming footsteps coming from outside the hall.
People subconsciously looked outside and saw that the square outside the Jinluan Palace was densely packed with Imperial Guard warriors, at least three thousand in number.
Looking around, it was a dark place.
The Imperial Guards wore helmets and armor, wore robes and belts, wore armor and skirts, held halberds, and carried swords under their ribs.

They were fierce and murderous, and the murderous atmosphere had permeated the Jinluan Hall. .
With the sound of armor clattering, two generals with golden helmets walked in from outside.
After the two men entered the hall, they held the swords under their ribs with both hands.
Without looking at anyone else, they walked straight to Tang Ling.
Then, they knelt down on one knee together and intervened: "Your Highness Princess Qi , the imperial guards of the front palace have been assembled and are at the disposal of Her Royal Highness the Queen Princess."
"Well two generals listen to orders" "The end will be here" "Anyone who breaks into the palace without permission will be shot without mercy.
Anyone who leaves the palace without a token will be shot without mercy."
"The general will obey his orders" The two golden-armored generals once again stepped in to salute and then took the order to leave.
They left, but the imperial guards standing outside the Jinluan Palace did not disperse.
Seeing this, everyone present understood that Tang Ling had already taken control of the palace guards.
If anyone dared to say no in front of her now, they would undoubtedly end up with their heads missing.
Song Sheng's heart trembled, and he hurriedly raised his hands and said: "The late emperor has passed away.
Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess should climb to the top of the treasure as soon as possible to stabilize the government and the public internally, and calm the people's hearts externally."
"This" Tang Ling frowned and turned to look at Cai Xiao, Qiu Yi, and Wu Peng.
Song Sheng's support alone was far from enough, she had to get the support of the other three.
Cai Xiao, Qiu Yi, and Wu Peng are not fools.
In this situation, do they still have to choose where to go?
Cai Xiao, Qiu Yi, and Wu Peng all knelt down and kowtowed, and said in unison: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess, should climb to the top as soon as possible.
Dabao, I will swear allegiance to the new king to the death, and I will do my best until I die."
As soon as the three of them finished speaking, they heard a loud shout from outside: "I will swear allegiance to the new king to the death, and I will loyal to the new king to the death."
Tang Ling looked at the ministers kneeling in front of her, and then at the formation of the Imperial Guard outside.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and said expressionlessly: "All ministers above the first rank can stay in the Jinluan Hall, and the rest will wait.
Immediately go to the side hall to rest.
No one is allowed to leave the palace without my order."
Her order was equivalent to putting Shangguan Xiu, Qi Fei and others, including the three presidents of the Duwei Mansion, under house arrest.
Shangguan Xiu, Luo Ren, Cao Lei, Yuan Mu, Ding Leng, and Jia Caixuan were brought to a small courtyard by the Imperial Guard warriors.
The leader of the Imperial Guards said in a deep and expressionless voice: "You will rest here for the time being tonight."
"When can we leave?"
the outspoken Cao Lei asked subconsciously.
The imperial guard glared at him coldly, turned around and left without saying anything.
Cao Lei was still about to chase him out, but when he heard a click, the imperial guards standing outside the courtyard gate stretched out their halberds to stop Cao Lei.
"Anyone who dares to resist or disobey orders will be shot without mercy," the Imperial Guard warriors shouted in unison.
Cao Lei still wanted to argue with the imperial guards.
Shangguan Xiu stepped forward, grabbed his clothes, and said in a deep voice: "Stop talking anymore, go back to the house and sleep."
"Ah" Cao Lei even wondered if he heard it wrong.
The old emperor was poisoned and now they are under house arrest in the palace.
Brother Xiu still has the time to sleep.
"Brother Xiu, we have to do something now."
"What else can we do?"
Shangguan Xiu took a deep breath and said, "The only thing we can do now is to have a good sleep and not think about anything."
He could foresee that earth-shaking changes were going to happen in Shangjing next, and in this change, they could do nothing.
They were just the most insignificant people among them.
Shangguanxiu meditated and pondered, pondering the ins and outs of the whole thing.
It can be said that the student gatherings of Imperial Academy and Imperial Lingwu Academy are just a cover.
They are only designed for one person, that is Tang Yu.

From the moment Tang Yu walked into the gathering, he had already fallen into a carefully designed trap.
The mastermind behind the scenes placed the raised dead soldiers into the Imperial Academy and the Imperial Lingwu Academy, allowing them to form the backbone of the gathering, recruiting students who were dissatisfied with the nobles, and increasing their momentum.
Their only purpose was to attract Tang Yu.
At this stage, the Duwei Mansion became the target of the mastermind behind the scenes, because the spies from the Duwei Mansion who broke into the rally could confirm that Tang Yu did indeed attend the rally.
For the man behind the scenes, it would be great if the next assassination attempt was successful.
It would be logical to blame Tang Yu.
If it didn't succeed, it wouldn't matter.
It would also serve as a foreshadowing.
The last poisonous wine is the real trump card.
He bribes the palace maid and places her next to Tang Yu.
Taking advantage of Tang Yu's toast to the emperor, he pours the poisoned wine to the emperor.
Then the palace maid takes the poison and commits suicide.
This way, Tang Yu was speechless.
The emperor suddenly died suddenly, and the throne could only be inherited by the first-in-line heir, Tang Ling, who was also the ultimate beneficiary.
The whole thing was completely planned by Tang Ling, who poisoned his father and framed his younger brother.
The viciousness of his thoughts and the sophisticated and far-reaching plan made people feel horrified.
The word "heart like a poisonous scorpion" is most appropriate for her.
It's just that it's useless for Shangguan Xiu to understand all this now.
Why didn't he play a role in fueling Tang Ling's conspiracy?
The next day, early in the morning, at dawn, the new king's succession ceremony began in the palace.
The salute was loud and loud, but unfortunately, Shangguan Xiu and others could only stay in the small courtyard and could not see anything about the spectacular succession ceremony.
Fortunately, the people in the palace have not forgotten them, and the guards warriors guarding them have delivered meals on time.
The new king's enthronement ceremony lasted for a whole day, and in the evening, the leader of the Imperial Guard entered the small courtyard.
Shangguan Xiu and others walked out of their respective rooms one after another, looking at the leader of the Imperial Guard with big eyes and small eyes.
The leader of the Imperial Guard glanced at them and said expressionlessly: "His Majesty's instructions are to leave the palace immediately."
After hearing this, everyone felt relieved.
They were about to go out when the leader of the Imperial Guard said again: "Sir Shangguan, please stay.
Your Majesty invites you."
Shangguan Xiu is no longer an ordinary civilian, but has been canonized as a first-class viscount by Tang Peng, and has the official position of deputy commander of the Tianyan Division of the Duwei Mansion.
The leader of the Imperial Guard is quite polite to him
