"Lord, where is the sixth prince?" The Dark Guard asked.

"Let Xiaoliu do this by himself. I made so many troubles this time just to force Xiaoliu to have the determination to become an emperor. Otherwise, why would I suffer so much? He Zhangyun said.

Only Xiao Liu is qualified to ascend to the position of the lord of the Crane Country.

Half a month later, the annual sacrificial festival of the Crane Country officially began, and all the civil and military officials and ordinary people bathed and changed their clothes, and went to the central square with piety.

Prior to this, Spruce and others also communicated with the national teacher, and the national teacher heard Spruce's decision and was very supportive. Decided to help out when you needed it.

The rest of the armies and secret guards are also ready, just waiting for the rest of the princes to make the first move.

"The lord of the country, the ministers and civilians who participated in the sacrifice have all arrived, and I ask the lord of the country for instructions." A father-in-law waited at the door, preaching inside.

"Ahem, ahem. Come in and help me change my clothes and get ready to head to the central square. He Zhangyun looked seriously ill and said weakly to the outside.

"Yes." The father-in-law outside the door immediately summoned the maidservant to come in to serve.

"The lord of the kingdom has arrived." Escorted by a group of guards, He Zhangyun came to the crowded central square.

The originally lively and noisy central square instantly became silent, and the crowd automatically separated, opening a way for the procession of the lord to pass.

The national teacher stood beside the lord and led the lord to the high platform in the center. After the two of them stood still, they recited an unknown incantation, fell to their knees, and prayed to the sky.

Everyone under the high platform looked sincere, knelt on the ground, followed the example of the lord and the national teacher, and worshiped to the sky.

"May the gods bless my crane country, the country and the people, and the wind and rain will be smooth. Bless the health of our emperor and the peace of the people. The national teacher stood up, took out a scepter, held it up with both hands, and said to the sky.

Suddenly, the scepter emitted a multicolored glow, and the light became bigger and bigger, and the entire sky over the imperial city was covered with glow.

"God bless the Crane Country! God bless the Crane Country! When the officials and civilians below saw this scene, they immediately shouted loudly. The eyes that looked at the national teacher also became more and more adoring.

"I have been seriously ill for a long time, but today I am much better because of the blessing of the national teacher." He Zhangyun looked at the people below and said. "In the days when I was on the couch, General Lao and the prime minister stabilized the court and dealt with the world's major affairs."

"A few days ago, I heard that my second prince has a good male style and rumors of torture and killing, but is there such a thing?" He Zhangyun turned his words and looked straight at the Prime Minister Concubine Li and the others below.

"This." Concubine Li stepped forward and was about to explain, but was suddenly interrupted.

"That's exactly what happened. Wei Chen also deliberately asked people to investigate this matter. I thought that someone with a heart deliberately framed the second prince, but I didn't expect that the second prince not only liked male style, but also tortured and killed male slaves afterwards. Even before this, he had bullied several innocent women. Among them, there are many daughters of officials of the fifth rank and below. It's a pity that they are weak and weak, and the second prince is vicious and domineering, so that they have been wronged, but they don't dare to speak out. The general's face was filled with righteous indignation, and he secretly glanced at the prime minister proudly.

"Yes, these two princes bully men and women on weekdays, it's really hateful."

"Such a despicable person is not worthy to be a prince."

"If this kind of person becomes the lord of the country, then our Crane Country will be finished."

"Let the second prince give everyone an explanation, and give the people justice."

"Sanction the second prince! Sanction the second prince! The general started like this, and the civilians below were instigated, and when one person said it, more people expressed their dissatisfaction.

The people's cries became louder and louder, so big that the faces of Concubine Li and the prime minister were more ugly than eating.

"In that case, then, I will seek justice for everyone." He Zhangyun said loudly. "Passing on my will, the second prince has a stubborn character, ruthless methods, and careless of human life. From now on, deprive him of the position of prince, take back his fief, and demote him to commoners. ”

"Lord, don't do it." Concubine Li on the side was anxious and hurriedly stepped forward to plead.

And the prime minister standing on the side glanced at He Zhangyun contemptuously, and even the second prince also looked proud.

"The king wants to abolish the throne of the second prince, so you have to ask me if I agree." The prime minister stood up and looked at He Zhangyun demonstratively.

"Oh? I've never heard that I, the head of the country, need your prime minister's consent to make a decision? Could it be that you think you are the lord of this crane country? He Zhangyun hooked his lips and smiled, condescendingly, and looked at the prime minister contemptuously.

"The lord of the country? Soon you won't. The prime minister said confidently.

"Oh? Listen to the prime minister, do you want to rebel? He Zhangyun asked.

"Where will I rebel, I'm just seeking justice for the second prince. The second prince is the best candidate for the lord of the country, and letting the lord of the country be abolished like this is really a big loss for the Crane Country. So I'm thinking about the Crane Country. The prime minister said.

"Humph!" He Zhangyun shook his sleeves and looked at the prime minister angrily. "I'm a good prime minister, but I'm really able to speak. What do you mean, I have abolished the second prince, can I still destroy the country of cranes? ”

"I don't dare to destroy the country. However, it is possible for this crane country to change owners. The prime minister said provocatively.

"General, this prime minister is openly rebelling, tell me, what should I do?" He Zhangyun was not in a hurry, and looked at the general on the side.

"If you commit the following crimes and try to kill the king, you should be connected to the nine clans." The general on the side said.

"Haha, Zhulian Nine Clans? When the second prince sits in the position of the lord of the country, I want to see who will connect the nine clans. The prime minister looked at the general with a sneer and said disdainfully.

"Come out." The prime minister shouted, and many soldiers wearing armor instantly appeared around the central square, surrounding everyone.

When the people on the side saw such a scene, they were so frightened that they didn't know what to do, hugged each other, and moved closer to the middle.

"It seems that the prime minister has been prepared for a long time." He Zhangyun saw the more than 10,000 Royal Forest troops around him, and said coldly to the prime minister. "Unexpectedly, the commander of my Imperial Forest Army was actually bought by the prime minister. It's really promising. ”

"Haha, lord of the country, everyone has their own ambitions, I'm just looking for a way out for myself, don't blame me." The commander of the Royal Forest Army, who cowered in front of He Zhangyun on weekdays, was very proud at this time, and even straightened his waist a lot, and looked directly at He Zhangyun at this time, without the slightest fear or guilt.

"Bold! The prime minister and the commander of the Imperial Forest Army dared to openly force the palace to kill the king, there was simply no royal law. The general looked at the two men, took out the sword in his hand, and stopped them in front of them.

"Do you think you're our opponent?" The prime minister looked at the appearance of the general and almost laughed.

The prime minister is not afraid of the general, there are 10,000 imperial forest troops here, and there are more than 100,000 outside the city, it is more than enough to surround the imperial city and take the position of the lord of the Crane Country.

If the general commands a thousand troops, the prime minister will have to think deeply, but unfortunately no troops can be stationed around the imperial city, only the Imperial Forest Army. So it's just a big general here, and he can't make any waves.

"I'll tell you honestly, I've been planning for a long time for today. What's more, do you think that you alone can get out of the encirclement? There are more than 10,000 Imperial Forest troops here, and more than 100,000 troops outside the city. Forgive me for not being able to fly. The prime minister laughed.

"Father, you can obediently hand over the position of the lord of the country to me, maybe I will become the lord of the country, and I can spare your life and leave you to enjoy your old age in peace." Seeing that the situation was under control by his grandfather, the second prince walked out from behind the Imperial Forest Army and said proudly.

"Don't think about it. I will never hand over my country to a rebellious person like you. He Zhangyun vetoed it. Just like you, you still want to be the lord of the country, and you have no way in the next life. ”

His own country can only be inherited by Xiaoliu, and the rest of them are delusional.

"You." The second prince was so angry that he couldn't wait to step forward and kick the lord of the country.

"Lord, you can compromise. For the sake of husband and wife, the concubines let them give you a pain when the time comes. Concubine Li stood up and said proudly.

"So you all had colluded early in the morning. You have all betrayed me, who else, who else is with you? He Zhangyun asked.

At this time, presumably those buried old guys will also be unable to hold their breath and jump out by themselves, and save themselves the effort of investigating.

"I am willing to support the second prince to stand up and show our dead lord, otherwise he really won't give up." The prime minister looked at the hundred officials behind him and said loudly. "When the second prince ascends the throne, the benefits will be indispensable to you."

"We are willing to assist the second prince." A group of ministers heard the prime minister's words and quickly stood up. These people account for one-fifth of the hundred officials. Among them, there are four ministers of the third rank and above, and most of the rest are officials of the fifth rank and sixth rank.

"Who else?" He Zhangyun asked sharply.

After He Zhangyun asked, the crowd all knew about it, and three more people stood up.

He Zhangyun looked coldly at the rebellious ministers, as if he was looking at a group of dead people.

"Come on, take down the remaining ministers, and kill the rest of the princes and concubines. The lord of the kingdom was captured alive and handed over to me. The prime minister was in a very happy mood and ordered the commander of the Imperial Forest Army to start working.

"Do you want to kill other princes and concubines?" The general's eyes darkened, and he gestured into the darkness.

"What? Will you be able to keep them? The prime minister said disdainfully.

The prime minister and the general belong to two factions. One is on the side of the second prince and the other is on the side of the fourth prince.

The strength of the two sides is evenly matched, the prime minister's side is mainly civilian officials, and the general's side is mainly military attachés. The two often fight in the court because of disagreements. Both of them regard each other as a thorn in their side, and they are eager to dismantle each other.

"Huh!" The general sneered. "Then I'll really keep them."

"What did you say?" The prime minister felt that something was wrong and asked loudly.

"What are those people again?" The general pointed in the direction of the Imperial Guards.

"This, you." The prime minister turned around and saw that the Imperial Forest Army, which was still majestic just now, was snatched away by a group of soldiers at this time, and all of them were restrained.

"Why, does the Prime Minister still think that I am not qualified to keep them?" The general walked slowly towards the prime minister, and the momentum of oppression forced the prime minister to breathe.

"Why do you have an army? The army is not allowed to appear in the imperial city, you are resisting the decree, you are forcing the palace to kill the king. The prime minister asked.

The soldiers who restrained the Imperial Guards were clearly battle-hardened and well-trained soldiers. This kind of person can only be taken by a general.

"Did you expect that?" The prime minister asked again.

If the general hadn't known his plan in advance, how could he have arranged so many people to infiltrate the imperial city so coincidentally.

"What did I expect? I'm just helping the lord of the country get rid of the rebels who are ready to force the palace to kill the king. The general said innocently.

"You fart." The prime minister, who has always been elegant, couldn't help but burst into foul language.

This general must have been premeditated, he watched himself lead people to force the palace, so he justifiably arrested himself. This slut, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch came later.

"Hmph, losers don't have a say." The fourth prince slowly walked out of the crowd and looked at the second prince mockingly. "My dear Second Emperor Brother, how does it feel to be taken away from the position of the lord of the country that should have been in your hands?"

"Come on, take down all these traitors." The second prince waved his hand, and a team of soldiers surrounded the people who supported the second prince led by the prime minister.

"Kill!" The general shouted and ordered to the soldiers.

"You can't kill me, you can't kill me." The second prince timidly shrank back, wanting to break free from the soldiers' clamps.

Who would have known that things would turn out to be like this, and he would obviously be able to ascend to the position of the lord of the country soon. Why did he and his grandfather know about such a well-thought-out plan?

"Kill!" The fourth prince said again.

The rest of the soldiers received the order, without blinking an eye, and directly cut off everyone's heads.

When had the people on the side seen such a bloody scene, they immediately screamed and fled in all directions. However, because the general's army was guarding the periphery, the panicked people finally returned to the middle and gathered together.

"The lord of the country, the micro-ministers have successfully eliminated the rebellious ministers. This time, the four princes were meritorious, and they also asked the lord to appoint the four princes as the crown princes. The general said.

He Zhangyun glanced at the general and didn't speak.

He Zhangyun didn't expect that the general, who has always been quiet on weekdays and is only obsessed with martial arts, would also like power?

"What do you mean, General? Are you forcing me to make a choice? He Zhangyun asked.

"Is there any other choice for the lord of the kingdom?" The general looked at the 10,000 soldiers and said confidently.

"It turns out that you just want to force the palace, why do you have to do it so high-sounding, justifiably." He Zhangyun said. "Let me tell you, the fourth prince has never had a chance to ascend to the position of lord of the country in his life.

"Now that the lord of the country knows, let's hurry up, don't grind." The general is a rough man, and he is too lazy to say some twists and turns to Hezhangyun.

"Don't think about it." He Zhangyun shouted.

A bunch of miscellaneous people who still want to seek the throne? Bite off more than one can chew.

"Don't think? Since the lord of the country is unwilling, then don't blame me for being unkind. The general waved his hand and motioned for the army to come forward and surround the lord and the others. (To be continued.) )
