Prince Chang continued to stare at the square and shouted: "Don't panic, the general is bluffing. The total number of troops around him is only more than 6000. Everyone, listen to my orders..."

Following his order, thousands of archers bent their bows and set arrows. In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired. The dense rain of arrows covered the sky and the ground, like a big net, covering it from the sky.

A wave of arrows shot down, suppressing Qi Rulie's offensive. Jiang Jingzhang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down.

Prince Chang sneered: "There is no doubt that Qi Rulie is brave and good at fighting, but he has insufficient troops and a small number of shield soldiers for defense. It is difficult to block our bows and arrows. There are less than a hundred archers for long-distance attacks, and there are no archers to open the way. If we just fight close to each other, the casualties will be too great, it will be difficult to tear apart our formation, and we will soon become trapped beasts still fighting."

Jiang Jingzhang was certain in his heart. He turned around and looked at the Taiji Hall, which stood several feet above the ground and stood at the highest point of the imperial city. Among the rows of dragon-patterned jade pillars, there were thousands of dragon sculptures of different shapes. From a distance, The majestic and powerful force of the pilgrimage of ten thousand dragons rushes towards you, and anyone who passes by this place cannot help but feel a sense of surrender.

It was the place where His Majesty made his morning pilgrimage every day and accepted the worship of hundreds of civil and military officials. It was the pinnacle of power and the holy land he had dreamed of since he was a child.

For the sake of the throne in the Tai Chi Hall, the queen mother was sent to Shuiyue Temple, her uncle Chengan Marquis committed suicide in prison, and the entire Lin family except Lin Xinzhao was exiled to the southern barbarian land, and everyone else was questioned and executed.

He is now only 39 steps away from that position.

As long as he climbs the 39 steps, he can sit in that position, become the Ninth Five Supreme Being, and rule the world.

No one can stop him.

At this moment, Jiang Jingzhang's heart seemed to have ignited a fire, which was beating, jumping, and burning fiercely. His eyes were bloodshot, the bottom of his eyes glowed red, and the blood all over his body could not help but surge. His twisted face was already full of madness. color.

Jiang Jingzhang roared: "If you take Qi Rulie's head, you will be rewarded with a reward of ten thousand taels, and you will be granted the title of Marquis of Thousand Households."

……

At this time, the palace had become a mess. The maids and eunuchs were panicking, packing up their things in a panic, and running away in all directions. There were screams, cries, and curses.

Compared with the chaos outside, the middle palace where Lin lived seemed extremely quiet. The palace people gathered in the main hall and were strictly guarded by the guards. They knelt on the ground in fear and fear, not even daring to breathe. The atmosphere seemed extremely solemn. .

Mrs. Lin was wearing a royal robe, sitting at the front with a solemn face, holding a cup of tea in her hand, and the long and pointed tortoise shell armor on her little finger was tilted in an elegant arc.

At this time, a guard came to report: "To the Queen, Your Highness has led troops to Taiji Hall. Please go to Liangyi Hall quickly and ask Your Majesty to write an imperial edict for passing the throne."

When Queen Lin heard this, a smile finally appeared on her sunken cheeks. She stood up slowly and straightened her clothes.

"Jing Yu, Guo Shangshu, bring everything you have prepared. Let's go to Liang Yi Palace."

Guo Shangshu quickly stepped forward to help her.

Jing Yu picked up the lacquered phoenix tray, on which he prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone, as well as a bright yellow imperial edict that had been prepared for a long time.

The imperial edict cannot be forged, so it is blank.

As soon as Lin left the middle palace, a team of imperial city guards came up to guard her, and they walked along the sparsely lit corridor to the Liangyi Palace.The Liangyi Palace was close to Qianchao. As soon as the group approached, they heard fierce fighting sounds outside. The billowing black smoke enveloped the entire imperial city. The bright fire in the distance bared its teeth and claws in the strong wind, making a roar. Burning sound.

There were not many Yulin guards left in the Liangyi Palace. The Imperial City Guards divided a group of people to contain the Yulin Guards, while another group of people protected Lin from entering the Liangyi Palace.

The whole process went so smoothly that Lin was in a trance.

Mrs. Lin slowly walked into the hall. There was no one in the hall, and there was a dead silence. She suppressed the weirdness in her heart, vigorously opened the heavy curtain, and walked into the inner hall. The strong smell of medicine hit her nostrils.

In the huge inner hall, Zhang Dequan was the only one kneeling motionless in front of the dragon couch. Xiao Dezi, who was waiting for the summons outside the hall, was nowhere to be seen. Qi Simu, who accompanied the king, did not know where he had gone. She suppressed the uneasiness in her heart.

"Here we come." Emperor Nanxing leaned on the bright yellow pillow, looking seriously ill.

For the sake of the Southern Dynasty, he spent every last drop of his essence and blood.

It was probably the accumulated power of the king of a country that was so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. When Lin saw Emperor Nanxing, she subconsciously felt a moment of panic deep in her heart.

Immediately afterwards, she calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince An's army is outside the Taiji Hall. You are old. It seems that you don't have a few days to live. The country cannot live without a king for a day. His Royal Highness Prince An is the direct descendant. You are the only heir to the throne, so you should write an abdication edict as soon as possible and pass it on to His Highness Prince An, because you don’t want to watch the soldiers kill each other and bleed like rivers."

Emperor Nanxing looked at her calmly: "The edict is here, come and get it."

Lin's eyes widened as she looked at the bright yellow imperial edict in Emperor Nanxing's hand. She couldn't believe that everything was going so smoothly, which made her feel unreal.

She looked excited and stared at the edict, but hesitated, worried about being deceived. The skin and flesh on her sunken cheeks were trembling, and she already had a crazy expression.

Emperor Nanxing covered his mouth and coughed twice: "Why don't you come over? You don't want the edict?"

Mrs. Lin looked at the bright red blood on the white handkerchief, moved her legs and walked over, grabbing the edict from Emperor Nanxing's hand.

Her face was full of madness, her whole body was trembling with excitement, her hands were trembling, and she quickly opened the edict and took a look. The excitement on her face suddenly solidified on her face.

She widened her eyes in disbelief and looked at Emperor Nanxing: "You lied to me."

Emperor Nanxing lowered his head and coughed violently. Every time he coughed, blood would come out of his throat.

"You lied to me," Mrs. Lin yelled like crazy, her sunken cheeks twisted into a fierce look, "You actually lied to me. This is not an edict to pass the throne at all, it is clearly an edict to abolish the queen. You are going to be abolished. Me, you actually want to destroy me..."

Emperor Nanxing coughed up blood and sneered: "You two, mother and son, one is poisonous and the other stupid. They have ambitions but no brains to match them. They have been exploited to the fullest. They even put the knife on their necks and are still completely unaware." I don’t know, having a spring and autumn dream of ascending to the Imperial Palace is really ridiculous and ridiculous.”

Mrs. Lin couldn't listen to anything. When she saw the edict to abolish the queen, she was already crazy: "You actually want to abolish me," she suddenly raised her voice, her voice was sharp, "Why do you abolish me, my son Jing Zhang will soon be enthroned as emperor, and you," she stretched out her arm and pointed at Emperor Nanxing with her thin finger, crying and laughing, "you are a terminally ill old man, why should you destroy me, haha..."
