Chapter 520: Rebel Son
The neat steps of the soldiers and the sound of the horns in the sky made the officials sweat coldly, and the dense cold arrows pointed at them all over the surrounding palace were even more terrifying.
"Can't bear it?"
Wei Zhao, who was standing on a tall building and witnessing everything, shook his head, and really had insight into the heart of this brother he had never met.
The tense atmosphere continued, and the gray-haired old Hanlin looked at the surrounding formations, pointed to Prince Xuande, and asked, "Your Highness, what does this mean?" ”
Prince Xuande was extremely proud, especially seeing the trembling appearance of the officials below, which made him feel a great sense of accomplishment.
"What do you mean?"
He laughed and said, "That's what you Aiqing saw." ”
As he spoke, he walked down the steps and asked, "When you are in the Zen position, do you agree or not?" The choice is yours...... Hmph, not only here, the queen mother's glory hall is also the same scene, if any of you don't know what to do, and want to accompany your father to the end of loyalty and filial piety, this palace will naturally fulfill you. ”
The meaning is obvious.
Agree or die.
Many officials hesitated instantly, but there is no shortage of backbone officials in this world, and Confucianism has cultivated etiquette people for the country and built a wall of loyalty.
Several old Hanlin stood up in unison and scolded Prince Xuande bitterly: "Tyrant! How can you take on the big responsibility? Today I can point the sword to the ministers, tomorrow I can swing the sword to the people, I ......"
However, before he finished speaking, he actually asked Prince Xuande to give an order, and immediately an archer shot a cold arrow out, and with a muffled sound, the life that had just been alive fell to the ground in an instant.
Lu Shuo stood on top of the tall building, looking at the scene below, and couldn't help but raise his sleeves and cover his eyes.
This old official Lu Shuo recognized that it was a very prestigious and impoverished old official of the Hanlin Academy, and he died under the prince's arrow, Lu Shuo had the ability to stop it, but he had to wait for the time to be ripe, and he couldn't help feeling guilty and couldn't bear to look at it again.
"That's what power is."
Wei Zhao stood beside Lu Shuo, he had a full view of the scene just now, and when he saw Lu Shuo raise his hand to cover his eyes, he shook his head and sighed.
"Once you will succeed, you will be able to ascend the throne, and you will step on countless corpses and bones, this palace used to hate these, but now it has become an executioner in person."
When Lu Shuo heard this, he couldn't care about the guilt in his heart, and turned his head to comfort: "No, your position is not justified, only by letting the prince lose the hearts of the people, can you have less resistance, this is not to blame you, it is an inevitable trend." ”
said that, he had a new understanding of the cold-blooded royal family, and sighed that it was not good for the ministers to be good generals, and maybe it was not a good choice to stay in Beijing.
When our protagonist arrived at this time, the idea of escaping from the capital flashed in his mind.
The game goes on.
The death of the old minister aroused the rebellion of many officials, and despite the threat of the prince and the threat of cold arrows, they all wanted to meet the saint to see if Emperor Hui Chong was still alive.
Naturally, this request was not answered, and before the prince could react, the officials guarding on the side released cold arrows again.
The number of corpses below gradually increased, and the number of opponents gradually increased, and although there were still opponents at this time, Prince Xuande also accepted it when he saw it, and did not dare to continue the confrontation.
If you force it too hard, there will definitely be a counterproductive effect, which the prince does not want to see.
"Those who are willing to follow this palace will stand up, and those who are unwilling will all be pulled down, and then talk about the crime after the success of the matter, and this palace will leave you with a life for the time being."
In the end, Prince Xuande gave the order, and the officials under him hesitated for a while, and a small number of people stood up and walked to the prince's side, and the rest were unwilling to give in.
The prince was annoyed, but he knew that now was not the time to pursue it, so he ordered the soldiers to drag the opponents down, and rewarded those followers on the spot, and even promoted them to three levels, and one by one they became the so-called "important ministers".
This result made many people look much better, and also, as long as the interests are heavy enough, what kind of face backbone does not matter to them.
Surrounded by the "important ministers", the prince went to the Qinzheng Palace.
After they left one after another, Wei Zhao and Lu Shuo, who were standing on the tall building, turned around and followed downstairs.
Now it's time for them to fight back.
As soon as he went downstairs, a man in black came up and whispered a report.
"Your Highness, the Jinju soldiers have already arrived outside the city."
Wei Zhao nodded, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then said: "The fire in the Jin Palace's mansion should be burned, and there is still the city gate, and the order can be given without strict obstruction." ”
The man in black retreated after receiving the order, and Wei Zhao took Lu Shuo and led a group of guards to rush to the Qinzheng Palace.
This Prince Xuande was annoyed and excited, and took the "important ministers" on the way to the Qinzheng Palace, thinking about the upcoming victory, he only felt proud.
The followers behind had different faces, some were excited, and some were still entangled.
At night, the Qinzheng Hall is still as majestic and inviolable as usual, but at this time, in the eyes of Prince Xuande, the majesty of the hall is no longer there, and after tonight, not only this majestic Qinzheng Palace, but also thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are his.
"Father."
The guards opened the door of the palace, Prince Xuande and several personal officials poured in, and the officials who had just surrendered were left outside.
"Father."
When he got closer, Emperor Hui Chong shouted again, with smugness and writhing sadness in his voice, and the corners of the mouths of the officials behind him twitched.
The officials stopped a few steps away, and only Prince Xuande stepped forward and approached Emperor Hui Chong's side.
"The ministers have come to see you."
The crown prince picked up Emperor Hui Chong's hand and looked at Emperor Hui Chong's closed eyes with affection, with undisguised pride in his voice.
"You are seriously ill, and you have been in this position for a long time, so you should change people...... Yes! ”
The old man's hand suddenly accumulated strength, and suddenly grabbed Prince Xuande, and before Prince Xuande could figure out what was happening, he saw Emperor Hui Chong, who had been sleeping unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes, and a pair of dragon eyes were nailed to Prince Xuande's body, which was full of sadness and anger.
"Father...... Father. ”
The prince was frightened at first, and then he thought of something, and the whole person became fearless again.
The ministers behind looked at each other and wanted to take a step forward, but they were stopped by the prince waving his hand.
The entire Qinzheng Hall is full of his people inside and out, even if Emperor Hui Chong wakes up, what can he do, he still can't help him.
This Great Qi was already in his hands, and there was no reason to go back.
"You rebel."
Emperor Hui Chong knew the prince very well, and when he saw the prince's eyes, he immediately understood what he was thinking.
