The hot air balloon flew up in the direction of the wind and headed north. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li San glanced at the hot air balloon in the sky, turned around, and walked along the path of the royal garden towards Chang'an Wharf.

These days he has been planning the route of retreat day and night, and now his hard work has not been in vain, and after descending the mountain, he and the remaining guards rushed to the docks.

At this time, most of the soldiers, officials, concubines, and palace maids on the dock had already boarded the ship, and some of the merchant ships headed for Qingzhou before he came.

Now the last merchant ship is parked on the dock.

Looking at the hydrogen balloon in the sky, Li San took the guards to board the merchant ship, and in the sound of the boatman's horn, the merchant ship floated downstream along the rapids of the Yellow River, as long as they got on the boat, with the width of the Yellow River, King Zhao's cavalry could only watch them leave.

However, in order to prevent being surrounded and intercepted by a large number of cavalry, he still let the hydrogen balloon take off, and there were members of the secret guard in the hydrogen balloon who changed into the clothes of Concubine Zhen, and they were responsible for inducing King Zhao's pursuers.

When Li San and others boarded the ship, King Zhao's soldiers and horses had completed the siege of Chang'an City, and in front of the palace gate, King Zhao and Zhao Yuanliang rode horses and swaggered into the palace from the main gate.

"Father, I didn't expect that one day we would be able to ride into the palace." , Zhao Yuanliang looked at the towering buildings in the palace and said.

King Zhao laughed heartily when he heard this, "Hahaha, from now on we can all ride in and out of the palace, not only that, but we can also live in the palace." ”

"What my father said is very true, but how can there be no beauties to live in this palace, so my son will catch a few beauties in this palace for my father, after all, there are three thousand beauties in the palace, which can be described as a collection of beauties from all over the world."

King Zhao became more and more happy, and he said to Zhao Yuanliang: "You still know my mind best, not only a beauty, this Chang'an City is very rich, and it can provide us with money to forge muskets." ”

"Yes, Father." Zhao Yuanliang led the horse and rushed to the inner courtyard of the palace with a pair of cavalry.

At this moment, a team of guards and the prince in the direction of the East Palace walked to this side, and when they saw King Zhao, the prince was very happy, and now his wound had been bandaged, and after enduring the severe pain, the prince said: "King Zhao, you are finally here." ”

King Zhao was riding on a horse, he didn't mean to come down at all, he looked at Xiao Wenxuan's corpse on the stone bridge and said, "The emperor was killed by you?" ”

"Of course, it's exactly as planned." The crown prince gritted his teeth and said, "Now that the emperor is dead, I will soon be called me, this time King Zhao has a meritorious escort, I will definitely reward King Zhao with a big prize." ”

"Really? That's thanks to the prince. King Zhao said lightly, and then he said to the left and right generals: "The crown prince killed the king and usurped the throne, and someone came to take down such a wolf-hearted person." ”

The prince's smile stiffened for a moment, and he watched in disbelief as King Zhao's soldiers walked towards him, and he said urgently, "Uncle, what do you mean by this?" ”

"What do you mean, killing the king and usurping the throne is a capital crime, and the old minister is loyal to the emperor, so he naturally wants to do the right thing for heaven." King Zhao said loudly, looking righteous and righteous.

At this moment, the prince understood even if he was stupid, and he turned pale with fright.

"Jingle bell." Just when the prince hesitated, there was a sound of weapons landing behind the prince, and all the guards behind the prince dropped their ice blades.

The Praetorian Guard general led by him said: "Your Highness, the matter of killing the monarch has nothing to do with us, this is all done by the prince alone, and King Zhao spares his life." ”

"Well, as long as you can serve this king, this king will not be guilty of any crime." King Zhao laughed.

The crown prince had the pain of breaking his arm in front of him, and now he was charged with killing the king, at this moment his body trembled violently, and fear quickly spread in his heart, and then he sounded Xiao Wenxuan's words.

It is impossible for King Zhao to make him emperor!

At this moment, he finally understood that everything was a conspiracy of King Zhao.

Thinking of this, he fell into complete despair, and in order to survive, he said with tears in his eyes: "Uncle, I am your nephew, uncle, please spare me." ”

King Zhao was unmoved, and he said to the generals: "What are you still doing in a daze, putting the crown prince in prison and waiting for the verdict after the new emperor ascends the throne." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

A group of tiger-like soldiers immediately rushed forward to grab the prince and escort him out, and the prince cried and cried on the way, but no one sympathized with him.

At this time, King Zhao asked the guards, "Where are the empress and the thirteen princes?" ”

"Your Highness, the Queen Mother and the Thirteenth Prince are all under strict care in the East Palace." Praetorian Guard General said.

"Take this king over." King Zhao said.

The guards nodded, got up and led King Zhao to the East Palace, and under the guidance of the guards, King Zhao arrived at a side hall in the East Palace.

"Your Highness, the Queen is here."

King Zhao nodded, hesitated for a moment, and pushed open the door of the side hall.

"Wanrong."

In the side hall, Empress Zhao was holding the thirteen princes and singing a song in a low voice.

The movement outside the door made her raise her head, and when she saw the face of the person who came, she suddenly sneered, "It turned out to be King Zhao, congratulations to His Royal Highness King Zhao, after so many years of planning, it has finally come true today." ”

Empress Zhao's indifference made King Zhao's heart uncomfortable for a while, and he said: "Wanrong, why do you want to talk to me like this, we are a family." ”

"Family?" Empress Zhao sneered, "Since you came, the emperor must have died, and the prince didn't follow, so he must have been imprisoned by you for the crime of killing the king, why did you come here for me, but for the thirteen princes in my arms, right?" ”

Being said by Queen Zhao, King Zhao's face was a little stiff, and he said: "Wanrong, you and Xiao Wenxuan are just husband and wife, but we are flesh and blood, and now that we Zhao Hua have won the world, aren't you happy?" ”

"Should I be happy?" Empress Zhao had hatred in her eyes, "My husband is dead, my son is about to die, the baby in my arms is just becoming your puppet, and the future is also unknown whether he will live or die, but you ask if you are happy or not." ”

King Zhao was stunned, he said: "Wanrong, for the sake of this world, everything is worth it, I know you have lost a lot, but you have exchanged the supreme imperial power for the Zhao family, and when the thirteen princes are older, I will let him stay in me, and I promise not to kill him." ”

"Don't you think about it." Empress Zhao's eyes suddenly turned red, and she suddenly lifted the baby in her arms, "Even if I fall to death, he won't let your treacherous plan succeed." ”

King Zhao was taken aback, and he immediately said nervously: "Wanrong, why are you doing this, do you really have the heart to kill your own flesh and blood?" I promise you, don't let him Zen the throne, and assist him as the emperor, okay? ”

Empress Zhao shook her head and said, "I don't believe you, if you don't want to get the throne, you will only be a rebellious minister and thief in the Great Yu Kingdom." ”

With that, she jerked the baby in her arms away.
