Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 388: The Beginning of Destruction
In the early morning of the next day, the news that the Northern Qi Emperor Gao Zhanyan was driving came out from the palace. Dozens of vassal kings in Beijing rushed to the palace to guard Gao Zhan's spirit. Ever since Gao Yang, the emperor of the Gao family, has a tradition of uncle seizing the throne of his nephew. Seeing dozens of uncles flocking to the palace, the little emperor Gao Wei was still very nervous. His eyes never left the eminent monk Yuanchang standing beside him.
At this time, Yuan Chang had already revealed his identity. He was a descendant of the late Emperor Gao Yang. Because of his fascination with Buddhism, he has become a monk. However, some old people who had seen monk Yuan Chang during the Eastern Wei Dynasty were shocked to see the monk beside the emperor. Not only did this monk have the same name as the holy monk back then, but his appearance did not differ in the slightest. At the beginning, the prince felt familiar with his hair. Now shaved head is like a holy monk Yuan Chang. Isn't it the blood of the Gao clan? Why is it not at all like the first emperors Gao Cheng and Gao Yang, but so strikingly similar to Yuan Chang, who is almost equal to an immortal...
But no one dared to talk much in front of the late emperor's coffin. These old people could only pretend they didn't know anything and continued to cry and cry in front of the late emperor's coffin. According to the rules of the Northern Qi Dynasty at the time, the emperor's coffin had to be parked for thirteen days before it could be buried in the ground. For fear of decaying the corpse. Inside the coffin were placed a lot of antiseptic spices. The whole palace is filled with the aroma that makes the living people feel a little uneasy.
Just as the ceremonial officer was reading out the sacrificial text in honor of the late emperor in front of the coffin, a middle-aged man in a royal robe was surrounded by central guards and arrived in front of the coffin. After the visitor arrived at Lingqian, he fell on the coffin and cried aloud: "Your Majesty. My brother called out late, and let you be killed by a traitor... Your Majesty, you have a spirit in heaven, bless my brother and I will avenge you. No matter how big the title of the person who harmed you is. Even if it is your own bones..."
The person here is Gao Yang and Gao Zhan's younger brother, Shangdang Gangsu Wang Gaohuan. Because this person was a concubine, he was directly driven to Shangdang when he was crowned king. Their brothers have not seen each other for many years, and now there is only one peer in Gao Zhan's generation, the Shangdang Gangsu King.
"Honoring brother Wang, have you started talking nonsense in the transition of sadness?" Yuan Chang took a step forward unhurriedly and blocked the little emperor's body after seeing the timid expression on the emperor's face. . Then he continued to shout to King Gangsu of Shangdang who was still lying on the ground crying bitterly, and continued: "Your Majesty is in grief, your Majesty is in grief. What are you saying here that the Emperor Taishang was murdered by his own flesh and blood? Your Majesty now. What do you want to imply?"
Hoocall came from the fief, and besides himself, there were 20,000 horses of his vassal outside Yecheng. Originally, I thought that the Emperor Taishang suddenly resigned, and the little emperor's ignorance was the best chance for him to seize the throne. Moreover, their Gao family has a tradition of uncle praying for their nephew. Why can their elder brothers abolish their nephew and become emperor by themselves, but not his turn?
According to his plan, tens of thousands of his troops were outside Yecheng City, as long as he suddenly attacked in the mourning hall. The army outside the city responded at the same time, this teenage nephew has to obediently give up the throne? Even if he can't get the throne temporarily, a regent will be in his hands. As long as the emperor is in his own hands, and after a year and a half of taking control of the court, isn't it a sure thing to abolish this little emperor and sit on the throne himself? Speaking of which, this is the tradition of their Gao clan.
I didn't expect that there was a monk next to the little emperor. I saw this monk with a familiar face, but I couldn't remember where I met him. Immediately, he shouted and winked at his guards. One of the guards actually pulled out his waist knife in the mourning hall and said to Yuan Chang: "Where is the thief monk! My family's Shangdang has just spoken to His Majesty, there is you. Do you want to interrupt? You are rude in front of Your Majesty. Then I will take care of Your Majesty..."
Without finishing a sentence, in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he wanted to kill Yuan Chang in front of the coffin of the Taishang Emperor. this time. The guards of the palace surrounded Gao Wei, but no one paid any attention to the monk Yuan Chang.
And Yuan Chang didn't seem to need protection, and saw the shouting guard draw a knife and want to kill him. The monk took a step back unhurriedly. When he saw that the knife was about to slash him, Yuan Chang suddenly found an extra piece of talisman paper in his hand and threw it out at the person's face.
The moment the talisman paper touched the person in front of him, a loud noise suddenly erupted. Then the rune paper turned into a fireball, which instantly enveloped the guard's head. The man shouted "Wow!", and he didn't care about Yuan Chang anymore, he threw his waist knife directly, fell to the ground and cried. However, no matter how the person rolled and howled, the fire on his head had no intention of being extinguished. After knowing for a moment, this person is not struggling. He fell to the ground and died. And the fire didn't mean to go out, until his head was burned into charcoal, and the flame slowly disappeared.
The fire on the guard's head is also strange. Don't look at the head turning into black coal, but it doesn't continue to burn down. Until the flames were extinguished, none of the clothes on his body were caught by the fire.
At this time, all the officials in the mourning hall were stunned by the sight in front of them. Unexpectedly, the former highness of Gao Chang would have such a skill...
Gao Huan was also frightened by Yuan Chang's ability, and then he realized that today is not as simple as he thought. If the reinforcements outside his city did not arrive, his people were already killed by the magic of this monk Yuanchang. At the moment, he was able to bend and stretch, knelt in front of Gao Wei, and put the black pot on the body of this dead bodyguard.
And Yuan Chang doesn't want to cause trouble again, he can't cast spells now. Just now I just used the skills I learned in Wentianlou. The **** was burnt to death using a flaming talisman as a medium. If the other party and these people really swarmed up, maybe they would still win, but they would be injured a little bit. this time. As long as Yuan Chang is injured, his holy monk's halo will disappear. This is not conducive to his subsequent planning.
Finally, with the benefit of Yuan Chang, Gao Wei was also spared the sin of shouting. As if nothing had happened, after taking away the body of the guard, everyone continued to guard the spirit of the Supreme Emperor. After a busy day. The sky turned completely dark. Accompanied by Yuan Chang, Gao Wei returned to the dormitory to rest, and the remaining Gao's children continued to stay in the mourning hall.
After the emperor and courtiers left one after another, these high surnamed vassal kings relaxed a lot. In twos and threes, they found brothers and nephews who had a good relationship and began to whisper something. At the beginning of the speech, there were doubts about the origin of the monk Yuan Chang, and none of these people applauded Gao Chang at the beginning. The origin of this monk also began to be more and more suspicious.
After talking about monk Yuan Chang, I don't know who brought the topic to Emperor Gao Wei. Although none of these vassal kings dared to talk loudly, they were all saying that the emperor was too young and had a cowardly personality to be the king of a country.
When all the vassal kings were telling me one sentence, suddenly a gust of wind blew in outside the palace, blowing the door of the mourning hall open. All the candles were blown out in an instant. In an instant, the mourning hall became pitch-dark, and the vassal kings who were so excited about it suddenly stopped their mouths, saying that this is also a mourning hall. Suddenly it was pitch black and everyone's mind was beating drums.
Fortunately, someone reacted immediately and asked the maid serving in the mourning hall to light the candle again. However, after shouting a few times in a row, he never waited for the servants to act. Now the mourning hall is pitch-dark, and I can't see the five-fingered servants. And none of these vassal kings with the surname Gao had anything like flint, scythe and tinder. At the moment, some people feel that something is wrong, and they plan to leave the mourning hall first, and they will feel better when they leave this big coffin.
But at the same time when everyone thought of this, a gust of wind blew through and closed the door of the mourning hall. Everyone ran to the door, no matter how the door was pushed, the door remained motionless. Just when everyone was panicking, there was a sound of "squeaky..." in the air, and the place where the sound was made was in the direction of the coffin...
