Chapter 268: Confrontation
"What I am holding in my hand is the holy decree of my father's succession, which clearly says that my father has decided to pass it on to me because he is unwell."
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live...... Gao Wei'an and Gao Wu took the lead in kneeling down and shouted loudly.
Seeing that someone had already taken the lead, the rest also knelt down, and those officials who had been co-opted by King Yu in advance all looked at each other and acted with each other, and they did whatever others did, so the leadership of Gao Wu and Gao Wei'an's father and son played a great role.
As for the other half who did not surrender, he was also standing in place neatly, but on the contrary of that half, he was looking at the prince with very contemptuous eyes. As if he wanted to use this gaze to remind him, "Your throne is not justified!" ”
As a representative who did not support the crown prince, Qin Anhou was the first to stand up, "Prince, where do you put the emperor?" He was full of righteousness, standing at the bottom of the hall, with his head held high.
The crown prince glanced down at Qin Anhou and smiled slightly, "Who should I be, it turned out to be Qin Anhou, I heard that your second son Yuen Long led all the soldiers to the palace in the capital to 'rescue', and called him a 'hero', which is well deserved." But, alas, he helped the wrong person, and now he is waiting for you in prison. Since your family is jumping forward like this, then I have nothing to say, the gun shoots the first bird, I don't know how to let the world see, dare to provoke me, just take your father and son to the knife. (.fastest update)"
"Your Majesty, there are still a lot of things at the moment, and after the overall situation is decided, it will be too late for these people to clean up one by one." The queen reminded in time on the side.
Seeing that the throne was in hand, the crown prince was full of pride, "Okay, as far as the queen mother is concerned, come on, first tie up the old guy Qin Anhou!" ”
As the queen said, for these people who dare to compete with him, they are not in a hurry to clean up, and there will be time to put forward and toss one by one in the future. Either let them live in pain, or let them die depressed, the choice is in the hands of the prince alone.
Sitting firmly on the dragon throne, the prince overlooked the ministers, and his heart was full of satisfaction that he had never felt before, the queen sat on the side, her chin was slightly raised, and her face was the same as that of the prince, and her excitement was not concealed at all.
At this moment, a small eunuch outside the Qinzheng Hall ran in, knelt down at His Royal Highness and replied, "Your Majesty, the outside of the palace has been surrounded by the people. ”
The prince's face changed greatly when he heard this, "Huh? Didn't you already send someone to guard the imperial city? Those people who dare to make trouble, didn't I also explain it in advance? ”
"Your Majesty, it's not like that, these people gathered at the gate of the imperial city, they are all here to support you, I heard that Your Majesty will replace the first emperor, and the people cheered and came to congratulate Your Majesty!"
When the prince heard this, he was overjoyed, "Oh? Seriously? ”
The little eunuch bowed, and described the situation at the gate of the imperial city again in an aggravated tone, with a vivid picture of the scene, and the prince, the queen and the ministers were stunned, and in the end, the little eunuch's eyes flashed, and he said excitedly, "Those people have been shouting long live, not only that, but also asking the palace gate to let them into the palace to congratulate Your Majesty." (.fastest update)"
This little eunuch who spoke was named Xiao Zhuozi, and he was the apprentice of the eunuch next to the prince, and as the follower of the prince's follower, he often appeared in the palace and the prince's mansion. Therefore, the prince didn't even doubt this person's words, and believed them all, "Since this is the case, then let these people who support me enter the palace to meet me!" ”
"Your Majesty, the throne has just arrived, and it would be too risky to do so." The queen reminded in a whisper.
The prince waved his hand, "Queen Mother, you don't know, Erchen also has a certain status in the hearts of the people, so what Xiao Zhuozi said must be true, and it has been going well since the beginning, and nothing will happen at this time, so don't worry." ”
"But ......"
"Hey, Queen Mother, we should be happy now, none of the difficulties we expected have appeared," lowered his voice, and the prince added, "None of the princes dared to take the lead after my action, this has already shown their attitude, the only one who is old enough to take the lead is still locked up with his father, and our threat is no longer a threat, so what are you afraid of?" ”
The queen frowned, and what else to say, the prince had already turned a blind eye, "Xiao Zhuozi is still stunned to do something, go and give orders!" ”
Xiao Zhuozi sighed, turned around and retreated.
In fact, for the crown prince, it is really not a good thing to see any people at this time, first, how he got the throne, he himself knows best, let so many people come in to see his state, isn't it nothing to look for.
Helplessly, the prince has now forgotten to do it, and he doesn't care about anything anymore.
After settling the ministers, and listening to the replies of the people in all corners of the imperial city, and making sure that everything was safe, the crown prince began to prepare for the reception of the people with the queen. Because the throne was not earned, things about ascending the throne and so on were in a hurry, and at this time the prince temporarily decided to let the people in. At the moment, he could only temporarily change into a dragon robe to meet him.
The change happened when the people entered the main hall, the prince was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the dragon chair generously, waiting for the worship of the people with joy, but he didn't want to, his people turned into soldiers with weapons in their hands.
Hundreds of people entered, mostly men, and a few women, old and weak, and children were also protected in the middle. Without their participation, I am afraid that these soldiers would not have entered the palace so successfully.
Bai Moyang, who took the lead, was dressed in military uniform, more cool than before, Gao Wu and Gao Wei'an, who were standing on the side of supporting the prince, saw Bai Moyang's face turned green the moment they saw it.
"Gao Weiguang, with these shrimp soldiers and crab generals of yours, you want to compete with me, are you too self-conscious?"
"Your Highness, you dare to confront Your Majesty with the strength of a few thousand people, why can't I fight against you with the strength of a few hundred people? Oh yes, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you, the second son of Qin Anhou did lead the army to reinforce, and he did not come to the palace, but it was all in the morning, and current affairs are changing, prince, what do you think? ”
As soon as Bai Moyang's words fell, the soldiers behind him all knelt down neatly, the prince was still worried one second ago, whether Bai Moyang would pose a threat to him, and the next second he saw that the soldiers suddenly surrendered, and he was just about to laugh happily, when he suddenly heard the small sound behind him, he suddenly turned around, and the prince was stunned.
