Without Su Yu's command, Kyoto's defense collapsed into a mess. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Most of the generals who guarded the city fled in all directions, and only one or two wanted to hold the city, and they were all discouraged when they saw the lack of troops.
The army of the Nine Princes was almost unhindered, and they drove straight into the imperial city.
Some of the defenses in the imperial city were also paralyzed, and only the emperor's Praetorian Guard was still resisting stubbornly.
The Nine Princes looked up in the direction of the main hall, and after several hesitations, they still gave the order to rush in.
For a time, everyone was fighting together, and blood flowed inside and outside the palace.
The Nine Princes stepped on the red carpet of blood and walked up to the hall step by step.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne in a dragon robe, looking still majestic, but also very desolate.
The queen stood behind him, never leaving him, guarding him.
The Nine Princes stood at the door of the main hall, neither advancing nor retreating, confronting the emperor from a distance not far or near.
After a while, the emperor laughed three times and raised his head to look at the Nine Princes: "Shangguan Junze, don't you want my position?" Why, you don't even dare to come in? Now there are only me and my queen in the whole hall, what are you afraid of? Afraid I'll set up an ambush here? Don't worry, my army has been scattered by you! Jun Ze, I always knew you were powerful, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful! I can't trap you with so many people! The people around me have also turned against you, I have lost, lost the throne, lost everything! ”
"I never thought of asking for your position, I just want to protect myself, I have retreated step by step, but you are pressing step by step, from the northwest to Kyoto, to the unloading of military power, even the woman you pushed me I did not refuse, I have endured it so far, I can no longer retreat."
The emperor's face was a little hideous, he held the queen's hand and stood up, his voice was a little trembling, probably extremely angry, and the green tendons on his face burst out: "You are so brazen!" It's all this time, and you're still playing word games with me hypocritically, doesn't anyone know about your ambitions as a wolf?! Since I first ascended the throne, you have begun to covet this dragon chair, and today you have finally succeeded, attacked my palace, and took away my throne, why, do you still pretend that I forced you to rebel?! ”
The Nine Princes' face was still very calm, although the hand behind his back was slightly clenched, but his voice was still low and powerful, and he said, "The throne is dispensable for me. What I wanted was never this glittering burden, and if you hadn't forced me to do this, I wouldn't be so extreme. ”
"It's time like this, are you still going to lie to me?"
"I didn't lie to you! This throne, a throne made of white bones, I am not rare at all. When my father was on the throne, I didn't bother to fight with you, have you become the emperor, and I will still fight with you?! If you hadn't touched my bottom line, I wouldn't have crossed the thunder pool for half a step in my life. ”
The emperor spurted out a mouthful of blood, held his chest, and looked incredulous: "Is it really my own sin?!" Did I really force you to do this? ”
"Your Majesty, don't listen to Shangguan Junze's nonsense, how could you force him to rebel?!" The queen immediately held the emperor's back and gently smoothed the emperor's breath: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, pay attention to your body, your body is the most important thing." ”
"Hahahaha," the emperor laughed desolately: "Body?!" If you don't have your life, what's the use of your body?! ”
"Your Majesty, in the eyes of your concubines, your body is the most important!"
The emperor patted the emperor's hand and glanced at the queen affectionately: "I have wronged you, and I have to suffer such a grievance with me!" The concubines in the harem have all run away a long time ago, and you are the only one left! Queen, what a hardship to see the truth! I have a queen like you, and it is not in vain to live this life! ”
The corners of the queen's eyes were slightly moist, and she held the emperor's hand a little harder: "The concubine has followed you all her life and never regretted it!" No matter whether you die or live today, the concubine will not regret it, the concubine is sincere to you! ”
The emperor nodded, held the queen's hand, and turned his head to the ninth prince and said, "This time you won, let's say, what are you going to do with me?" Pushed into prison? Or beheading? ”
The Nine Princes were about to say something, when suddenly the Queen Mother hurried over. The Ninth Prince immediately stepped forward to hold the Queen Mother's hand: "Queen Mother, why are you here?" ”
"Ze'er, the mourning family knows that the emperor is him, he has failed you, so if you want to rebel and raise troops, the mourning family can ignore it, but, Ze'er, the emperor is always your own brother, you can't, you can't watch him die! Watching your brothers kill each other, it is really sad to mourn the family! ”
The queen mother was in tears, holding the arm of the ninth prince, vicissitudes and helpless.
Afraid that the ninth prince would refuse him, the queen mother said: "The mourning family does not expect you to treat them well, but at least you have to spare their lives, Ze'er, even if the emperor forces you too hard, but he has never treated you harshly, you must think about it, if you are impulsive and make a big mistake, how to explain to the world in the future, brothers cannibalism, it will also have a great impact on your future succession to the throne!" ”
"Queen Mother," the Ninth Prince hurriedly interrupted the Queen Mother's words: "Don't worry, I won't want the life of the imperial brother." ”
"What about you?"
"The imperial brother has worked hard all his life, and it is time to rest for a day or two, Jiangnan is rich, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful, suitable for the imperial brother and the imperial sister-in-law to live here for a long time, I will arrange people to escort him, but from today on, he and his wife will be degraded as commoners, and they will never be allowed to enter Beijing!" After the Nine Princes finished speaking, he turned around and said no more, leaving only a straight backbone, which could not be questioned or defended.
Soon, there were guards who came to pull the emperor and the queen, and the queen threw off the guards' restraint and helped the emperor to walk out of the imperial city step by step.
The Queen Mother only took two steps forward before she stopped and looked in a daze in the direction they had gone.
On that day, the situation in Kyoto changed abruptly, and the Nine Princes stood on top of the main hall, and the audience knelt on the ground and shouted: "Long live." ”
On that day, the Nine Princes finally ended the battle and breathed a sigh of relief.
On that day, the Nine Princes climbed high and looked into the distance, looking at this splendid country, and suddenly his heart was surging, and he understood why everyone yearned for it.
A day later, Prime Minister Xia was the first to bow down to the Nine Princes, and then those courtiers also knelt on the ground and shouted long live.
Ten days later, Qin Tian Jian chose a date and waited for the ninth prince to ascend the throne.
Because of the urgency of time, he could only drive out the emperor's dragon robe, and he had no time to make the queen's clothes, so he was rejected by the Nine Princes.
A month later, the robes of the two were finally driven out, and the nine princes took Xia Ruqian's hand and ascended the sacrificial platform together, and the nine princes ascended the throne and called the emperor, and on the same day, Xia Ruqian was crowned the queen. Change the name of the country to shine into light.
