Chapter 280 (2/2)
Zhang Zhen explained a little. Under the rhetoric, the prince who didn't understand anything soon agreed.
Then there is the last thing, the edict he forged, although it can't show any flaws even to the prime minister's close ministers. However, as long as you touch the secret edict in the hands of empress mu, it will cause an uproar. Therefore, you have to find a way to obtain the secret edict from empress mu. You must do it before dawn!
Therefore, Zhang Zhen continued to urge the prince to take action. On the pretext that the emperor had slept soundly, they left for a while to meet concubine mu.
Concubine Mu was just a woman of civilian origin. She had always been bullied in the palace. If she had not given birth to dragon girls and dragons, she would not even live to this day.
Zhang Zhen and the crown prince made a hard and soft joint move, and empress Mu couldn't resist. She originally wanted to hand over the secret order when the princess came back. Now, in a moment of fear, she exposed the storage place of the secret order and was found by Zhang Zhen.
After reading it again, Zhang Zhen's face changed dramatically. He was glad to strike first, otherwise he would become a prisoner of others in the future!
In front of the prince and empress mu, Zhang Zhen rubbed the secret decree into powder and threw it into the fire. It must not be found by others!
So far, Zhang Zhen, through his own struggle and struggle, completely reversed his inevitable defeat with such a crazy move as regicide. In the early morning, he and the prince entered the emperor's bedroom together.
Finally, at the beginning of the sun, he said, ”Your Majesty has died!” Completely shake the capital!
When the national division received the imperial edict from the emperor, it had a hunch that something big would happen in the capital. On that day, it went down Zhongnan mountain and rode to Chang'an. If there were no accidents, he could arrive at Daming Palace that night.
But when he was near Chang'an City, he was suddenly ambushed by dozens of people, and all kinds of insidious mechanisms and concealed weapons attacked him in the dark. Such a killing method can only be said to be sudden, not very clever. It can't hurt the national teacher at all.
But walking all the way, they were so harassed that it was enough to delay the National Teacher's time to go to Chang'an.
After the National Teacher Zhang Chong and found the other party's purpose, they no longer kept their hands, went out with all their strength, and no longer gave the other party a chance to escape. The dozens of top killers in ambush could only rush out together and fight with one of the four great masters.
The national master destroyed all the killers who besieged him. They wanted to catch one or two alive, but they saw the opportunity very quickly. They all bit the poison bag in the breach, swallowed the poison and killed themselves, leaving no alive.
These killers are very decisive, have excellent assassination methods and first-class martial arts. It takes a lot of resources to cultivate one. They only used them to intercept the national division's trip, and the other party obviously paid a lot of money. With so many top killers dying here, the killer organization can almost be completely destroyed.
The national master noticed something strange from the killers' unusual actions, and it was already dawn. When he arrived at the Daming Palace, he heard the news from the palace that his majesty had died!
Zhang Chonghe could only sigh. Although he didn't know what happened in the Palace last night, his Majesty's death must be strange. However, now he can't do anything. He can only wait silently for his Majesty's future and the new emperor's accession to the throne.
The Tang Dynasty, a big ship full of holes, has lost an experienced helmsman. It is impossible to estimate where it will go in the future, even if it is an accurate national teacher.
In the 22nd year of Keding, the former Emperor collapsed. The prince negotiated with his ministers and decided to take the posthumous title of Emperor Xuanzong Shengwu xianwenxiao.
In November that year, Gaiyuan Xiantong.
