Chapter 207 Princess, General Weiyuan is already at the gate of the city.
The next morning, Xiao Yunxiu took out the imperial edict to pass on the throne in the court and proclaimed himself emperor in a high-profile manner. The relatives of the ministers were all detained in the palace, so naturally they dared not be angry or speak out.
Only Lord Wei, who was forced to resign by Su Muxi, sneaked into the court procession and stood up when Xiao Yunxiu announced that he would become emperor. He pointed at Xiao Yunxiu and cursed him, calling him unkind and unjust, cruel and ruthless, and calling him the patriicide and fratricide.
"Your Majesty was in good health yesterday, but today it is your turn to be emperor. Your wolfish ambition is obvious to all. Others may be afraid of you, but I am not. I am your Majesty's man in life and your ghost in death."
"Xiao traitor, do you think that the royal bloodline is in your hands and you can do whatever you want without any scruples?"
Lord Wei snorted coldly, "Yesterday, Concubine Lan had seen through your plot and secretly sent the little prince out of the palace. Now I have sent him to Guanshan City."
The old body became majestic at this moment. Lord Wei accused: "The net of heaven is vast and nothing can escape it. When General Weiyuan attacks the city, it will be your death."
Xiao Yunxiu was furious at this moment. There is always a mistake. He sent people to Yuhua Palace to capture Concubine Lan. Concubine Lan was holding a swaddling baby in her arms. He thought it was the little prince until he heard a cat's meow. Then he realized that Concubine Lan was holding a civet cat in her arms.
When he started looking for him, the little prince had already disappeared.
The palace was so big that he thought the child was hidden in a corner of the palace, but he unexpectedly had already left the palace. Even under heavy siege, he was able to send a child out of the palace, proving that the entire palace was not under his control.
"Master Wei, please stop exaggerating here," Xiao Yunxiu said, "Yesterday, thieves took advantage of the funeral of Old Lady An to cause trouble in the palace. It was me who quelled the war, and my father accepted the order and passed the throne to me."
"Eunuch Lin, bring the thief up here."
As soon as Xiao Yunxiu finished speaking, Eunuch Lin, who used to be the little Linzi who served His Majesty, led a few guards and carried He Yuncheng and Xiao Yunjin to the front of the palace.
"My Lords, can you distinguish the identities of these two people?"
Xiao Yunxiu had the two of them change into identical clothes, and also drugged them. They were also tied up.
All the ministers at this time were in a daze. It turned out that apart from their own auras, the two people looked exactly the same.
"Duke Anguo, shouldn't you give everyone an explanation?"
A group of guards suddenly rushed into the hall and pressed Duke Anguo to the ground in front of the hall.
With the knife at his neck, Duke Anguo, who was already timid, confessed everything. The truth of twenty years ago was revealed from his mouth.
As the identities of Xiao Yunjin and He Yuncheng were analyzed, it was also revealed that He Yuncheng, the son of the wife of Marquis Yong'an, was the emperor's biological son.
Xiao Yunxiu looked down at everything that was happening below, "My dear ministers, since you already know the truth of the matter, you should understand my difficulties and helplessness."
"Things are so complicated. Xiao Yunjin knew his identity, but he didn't know that Yong'an Hou had hidden his life story. He thought that the emperor wanted him to be a scapegoat, so he went to the palace to meet the emperor, forced him, and drugged him."
"It was I who saved my father," Xiao Yunxiu became excited when he thought of his father's face. He didn't expect that after tricking the wife of Marquis Yong'an into the palace, he would receive an unexpected surprise.
Until this moment, Xiao Yunxiu still found it funny when he recalled the dull and unbelievable expression on the emperor's face when he faced the questioning of the marquis's wife. He felt so happy in his heart that he didn't even bother to pretend the expression on his face.
"Duke Anguo, you can now take out the emperor's edict and show it to the ministers to see if I am lying."
Duke Anguo was panic-stricken. If he had known this would happen, he should not have come to thank the emperor. He and Marquis Yong'an were close friends in the past. When he saw the secret his mother entrusted to him, he could not help but tell Marquis Yong'an. When Marquis Yong'an stole his handkerchief, he was afraid that he would be blamed, so he concealed the matter.
Now that the truth was out, he was guilty of the crime. He took out the imperial edict, which stated He Yuncheng's background and that he was the son of Concubine Lan. The edict also stated that on the day the truth came to light, He Yuncheng would be named King of the City.
"What a pity. Everything is exposed in this palace coup," Xiao Yunxiu sighed, "They only know half of the truth. The brothers killed each other and interrogated our father, which led to today's disaster."
At this point, the truth was laid out before them. The ministers had no choice but to believe it. They all knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor, praying for his well-being and chanting, "Long live the emperor."
Lord Wei looked at the two identical figures lying on the ground and felt that his eyes were really blurry. While others were paying their respects to the emperor, he asked another question.
"Where's the Sixth Prince?"
"I have searched the entire palace but have not found anything. I am afraid something has happened." Xiao Yunxiu sighed, "If I had not come to my fiefdom to bid farewell to Your Majesty, I am afraid I would not have been able to save my father by chance."
"Sir Wei, if you don't believe me, you can go with me to see my father after the court session."
He was originally interested in Xiao Yunjin's cooperation, but now that both of them are the emperor's blood, he naturally will not leave either of them behind. As long as no one challenges his authority, Xiao Liu can really die as he expected.
Xiao Yunxiu cleaned up the court as quickly as possible, first eliminating Prince Jin's lineage, and then suppressing the Sixth Prince's lineage in secret.
He arranged for Marquis Jian'an to handle these secret events. After all, he was a fugitive and it was not appropriate for him to appear in public for the time being.
After Su Muxi knew that Xiao Yunjin had gone to the palace, she was no longer in a hurry. After all, if she wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop, she still had to see how many people were jumping around.
An Yutang has another identity, he is the secret guard beside the emperor. He clearly knows that the throne has been replaced, but he does not make any move. There can only be two possible outcomes. One is to wait for General Weiyuan to come to Beijing and cooperate with the emperor from inside and outside. The other is that he is Xiao Yunxiu's man, so Xiao Yunxiu's plan can be so perfect.
When my mother came back from the northwest, she was escorted by A-Da, and there was also a team of people. Su Muxi arranged this team of people to be in the palace master's office, and they were just in time to be used. She asked A-Da to take people to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble and stir up conflict between Prince Jin's Mansion and the soldiers surrounding the mansion.
There is a secret passage between the Princess's Mansion and Prince Jin's Mansion. A'da led people to sneak into Prince Jin's Mansion to make trouble. The third time, he finally angered Prince Huaiyang. After all, Prince Huaiyang was a vassal prince, and his status was second only to the emperor. Being imprisoned in Prince Jin's Mansion, it was natural that he could not be at peace.
In addition, there had been no news since He Yuncheng went to the palace. When he learned that there was a secret passage under Prince Jin's Mansion, Prince Huaiyang naturally had to take action. He mobilized the elite troops he brought with him, and went out of the mansion along the tunnel, all the way to the Princess's Mansion, and all the way to the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion.
Su Muxi had already made it known that after Ah Da started the war, he would take advantage of the chaos to arrange for some people to enter Prince Jin's Mansion, while others would escape from Yong'an Marquis Mansion and wait at Zhenguo Mansion.
Xiao Yunxiu had been sitting firmly on the throne for two days and that was the time when he relaxed his control over the people in the city. It was at this time that Prince Huaiyang became the first person to take action.
He first arranged for someone to send a letter out of the city to contact the soldiers guarding the border of Huaiyang. A part of them quietly occupied the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, the Princess's Mansion, and the Prince Jin's Mansion to form a three-way transformation to prevent being wiped out in one fell swoop.
Su Muxi held the baby in her arms and sighed helplessly in her heart. She didn't expect that Lord Wei would block her at the door and ask her to entrust her child to him.
She knew this little baby, the youngest son of Concubine Lan, the younger brother of Xiao Yunjin, or the younger brother of He Yuncheng.
She originally wanted to send the child out of the city to give him to General Weiyuan, but it was too difficult to leave the city, and exposing the child would mean uncertainties for her, so she could only raise the child herself.
Fortunately, this little baby is easy to raise. She is fed with horse milk instead of goat's milk or cow's milk. She doesn't get sick and is very well behaved. She doesn't cry or make a fuss, but she is clingy and will cry if you leave her.
Su Muxi held the baby in one hand and sorted out documents with the other. Even though the baby was well-behaved and sensible, he couldn't stay with her all the time, otherwise it would be too restrictive. She still had to find a place to foster him.
"Dongdangdang, dangdangdang," three rhythmic knocks on the door sounded twice in a row before Su Muxi got up to open the door.
Erzhi was standing outside the door, "Princess, General Weiyuan is already at the gate of the city."
"According to the plan." Su Muxi paused, "Is there any news about Yong'an Marquis?"
"not yet."
Su Muxi nodded and let Erzhi leave first. Marquis Yong'an was a smart man. He must have noticed that the marquis's wife and Xiao Yunjin were missing, so he immediately realized that something was wrong and fled.
