Chapter 527 Hong Xiuquan's Sudden Death

Of course, the arrangement of the Black Snake Guard in the Tianwang Palace is naturally not limited to Concubine Chen.

Because no one can guarantee that when will the trump card of Concubine Chen be used.

The only way is to ensure that once the time is ripe, no matter who is serving the bed that night, the Black Snake Guard will have a way to make the bed serving become Concubine Chen, so as to achieve its goal.

The operations involved are dazzling enough.

Before I knew it, it was already three o'clock at night.

Concubine Chen's eyes became brighter and brighter, and there was a trace of death in the bright eyes.

I saw that she gently put her right hand into the mouth, tilted slightly, and unexpectedly brought out a white tooth. Upon closer inspection, the tooth turned out to be a "false tooth", which was hollow inside and contained a tiny wax pellet.

The wax pellets the size of mung beans are so natural that there is not even a single crack on the surface.

In order to avoid the strict search in the palace, the Black Snake Guards were well-intentioned.

Concubine Chen carefully took out the wax pill, squeezed it hard, and the wax pill burst immediately. Suddenly, a thin puff of blue smoke floated out from the wax pill.

Wisps of green smoke were immediately inhaled by Concubine Chen and Hong Xiuquan beside her.

This green smoke is a strange poison in the world that Shan Manjin presented to Ouyang Shuo, it is called Yan Luo miasma, it is extremely rare. Only in the deep mountains and old forests, where miasma is overflowing, and beside the ancient trees in deep pools, can one find a trace.

Then use the secret method to seal it with natural wax pills.

When poisoning, there is no need to go through any medium, just pinch the wax pellets, if an ordinary person inhales a trace of smoke, within half an hour, he will be poisoned and die.

Therefore, even if it is a mountain barbarian, if it wants to collect a trace of the smoke barrier, it often needs to pay a huge sacrifice. Basically, very few people who collected poison survived.

However, once this kind of strange poison is produced, if it cannot be collected within ten minutes, it will re-merge into the pool water and disappear.

Therefore, luck and sacrifice are both indispensable in order to collect the smoke barrier.

Such harsh conditions are also the cycle of heaven.

If not, wouldn't it be that the existence of a large number of smoke barriers in the world would cause people to suffer.

After all, the strength of the smoke barrier is that it is the poison of the gas, which is silent and kills people invisible. Unlike arsenic, crane top red and other highly poisonous substances, they need to pass through a medium such as blood to be effective.

In ancient times, there were no gas masks, so people who poisoned themselves would die of poisoning if they were a little careless. For Concubine Chen, she never thought that she would be able to walk out of the Heavenly Palace alive.

The poignant miasma drifted past, and the two were immediately poisoned.

Hong Xiuquan, on the other hand, is still soundly asleep, and is completely unaware of this.

Perhaps, such a way of death was lucky for Hong Xiuquan.

The only one suffering is Concubine Chen.

After inhaling the miasma, Concubine Chen could only close her eyes and wait for death, slowly welcoming the arrival of death. The most delicate flowers always wither in the most beautiful years.

************

next morning.

When the maids of the Heavenly Palace entered the Heavenly King's bedroom and prepared to serve the Heavenly King and Concubine Chen to wash up, what they saw was the scene of the two dead bodies on the spot.

Misty smoke, the name is beautiful, and the effect is also beautiful.

The poisoned person does not have any abnormalities in his body, as if he has been asleep forever.

In an instant, news of the sudden death of the Heavenly King spread throughout Tianjing City.

All of a sudden, the whole city shook.

All the civil and military officials who had stayed up all night to pack their bags and prepare to evacuate Tianjing City with the King of Heaven, were all stunned on the spot when they got the news, inexplicably horrified.

A sudden storm swept across the entire Tianjing City.

Everyone is at a loss as to where the fate of the kingdom of heaven will go.

At 9:00 a.m., the main hall of Tianwang Palace.

In any case, since the matter has already happened, the civil and military ministers will naturally discuss the solution.

Because the queen of the kingdom of heaven is basically a decoration.

Therefore, those who really hold the real power are actually the civil servants and generals in the palace. It is they who will determine the future destiny of the Kingdom of Heaven.

The group of generals is naturally headed by Shi Dakai.

The head of civil servants is a historical talent, and this person is Su Zhe.

Su Zhe, courtesy name Ziyou, was a writer, poet, official to deputy prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, one of the "Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties"; he was as famous as his father Su Xun and his elder brother Su Shi, and they were collectively called "Three Sus".

Hong Xiuquan appeared in the wilderness, and besides Yang Xiuqing, there was no qualified internal affairs personnel by his side. However, Hong Xiuquan did not dare to let Yang Xiuqing interfere in government affairs, so the only way was to use outsiders.

And Su Zhe was the talent that Hong Xiuquan subdued when he wiped out other players' territories.

In addition to Su Zhe, there are two historical civil servants in the kingdom of heaven, but their reputations are not obvious, so we will not mention them.

It stands to reason that when the Heavenly King dies suddenly, the first thing to do is to agree on a successor.

However, Hong Xiuquan appeared in the wilderness for less than a year, so he left no heirs. Furthermore, the kingdom of heaven is now precarious, even if there are young children, it is not enough for this great task.

Therefore, the opinions of the ministers are naturally to select one person from among the old ministers, especially the veterans who accompanied the Heavenly King in the wilderness, to take over the Heavenly King's position and inherit the unfinished business of the Heavenly King.

The most important thing right now is naturally to lead everyone out of the crisis of destruction.

The first person to be elected, no accident, was Shi Dakai.

Shi Dakai is a veteran of the kingdom of heaven and a military general with military power. In this troubled world, he is naturally the most powerful competitor. And last night, the Heavenly King summoned Shi Dakai alone, which shows the preferential treatment for him.

Logically speaking, there is indeed no one who can compete with Shi Dakai.

As for Shi Dakai himself, because of yesterday's big defeat, he was in a state of mind and didn't say a word in court. Shi Dakai's silence was naturally interpreted by others as tacit consent.

At this moment, a tall and thin minister stepped forward and said loudly: "General Shi is naturally one of the suitable candidates, but I think there is another person who is more suitable than General Shi."

"Joke, in the kingdom of heaven, is there anyone older than General Shi?"

Shi Dakai's supporters immediately refuted with arrogance.

"Of course there are." The minister was unhurried, and said: "Yang Xiuqing, General Yang, whether it is seniority or ability, compared to General Shi, I'm afraid they are all worse."

Needless to say, this minister is naturally the backbone of Yang Xiuqing's camp.

Last night, after sending away the sergeant of the Military Intelligence Department, Yang Xiuqing began to contact the ministers to discuss the coup. Originally, these allies were still skeptical.

After all, the prestige of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan is still very high, and few people really have the confidence to challenge the authority of the Heavenly King head-on.

But just this morning, the news of the sudden death of the Heavenly King suddenly spread throughout the city. When these allies got the news, they all took a breath.

If so, there is no connection between the two.

They wouldn't believe it even if they were killed.

At that moment, they made their own choices.

At this time, it is natural to wave the flag for Yang Xiuqing in the court hall.

"Haha, what a joke!" It was the minister just now who retorted, and said with a sneer, "A general who has been defeated, and he is still imprisoned by the king of heaven, what qualifications does he have to inherit the throne?"

"Really?" The tall and thin minister's words were filled with an indescribable meaning, and he said quietly: "If I remember correctly, General Shi is also the general of the defeated army. And if he loses, he will ruin the kingdom of heaven." destiny."

"..."

The entire hall suddenly fell silent.

Shi Dakai's expression suddenly became extremely ashamed. A sense of shame spread throughout his body. If it wasn't for the person next to him to hold him tightly, he would have turned around and left.

"This, how can this be the same?"

Shi Dakai's supporters were also speechless, and they didn't even have the confidence to listen to what they said.

"What's the difference?"

The tall and thin minister pursued the victory and said loudly: "General Yang was ordered to attack the Mulan Fortress. After all, it was a tough battle. Moreover, General Yang proposed to withdraw the army, but it was not approved by the King of Heaven. But General Shi, who commanded fifteen Isn't it even more ridiculous that Wan Dajun was ambushed by the enemy at the door of his house?"

As soon as the words fell, more ministers looked at Shi Dakai with expressions full of inquiry.

"Hey, anyway, the Heavenly King put Yang Xiuqing under house arrest while he was alive, but he treated General Shi differently. Isn't that enough to explain the problem? Isn't it clear at a glance who is in the Heavenly King's heart?"

"What house arrest is it? It's just that the Heavenly King is protecting General Yang in a disguised form under the pressure of public opinion."

"Deceive yourself!"

"brazen!"

...

Regarding the art of language, all the ministers are deeply familiar with three tastes. As the debate unfolded, more and more people were involved in the quarrel.

In the main hall, arguments continued.

The supporters of Yang Xiuqing and Shi Dakai quarreled, and no one could convince the other.

In this debate, Su Zhe and other civil officials are a group of out-and-out bystanders. Su Zhe knew very well in his heart that these "outsiders" had no right to decide the fate of the kingdom of heaven.

At this moment, those who really have the power to decide are still in the hands of these generals.

Seeing this, Shi Dakai couldn't bear it any longer, and walked out in a huff.

At this moment, outside the main hall, a long voice suddenly came: "Brother Shi Xian!"

Hearing this, Shi Dakai stopped, looked up and looked outside the hall.

The person who came was Yang Xiuqing who was under confinement.

As soon as Yang Xiuqing appeared, it caused an uproar in the court. His supporters were naturally overjoyed; while Shi Dakai's supporters were ashen-faced.

"Yang Xiuqing, you are so bold. The Heavenly King had an order before he was alive, and he was not allowed to summon you, and he was not allowed to leave the mansion. Now that the body of the Heavenly King is not cold, you actually disobeyed the order. What is your intention?"

The one who reprimanded Yang Xiuqing was the vanguard of Shi Dakai's camp.

When Yang Xiuqing heard the words, a cold light flashed in his eyes, but there was still a warm smile on his face, and he said lightly: "The heavenly king has passed away. As a subject, shouldn't it be right to come to the palace to pay homage?"

"you!"

Seeing this, Yang Xiuqing shook her head, turned to Shi Dakai and said, "My dear brother, can I take a step to speak?"

Shi Dakai stared at Yang Xiuqing, and finally nodded.
