Chapter 622: Chess Game
For fear that a rash move would hurt him, but his current posture was too much of a way to affect his performance, and Concubine Ruan was just about to break free of his embrace, but suddenly heard him say something in her ear.
"Don't worry, we'll be fine."
Concubine Ruan was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, she heard a sudden scream around her. She hurriedly looked up, only to see the rows of black arrows on the wall, suddenly beginning to disappear in pieces, and the rest of them were also in chaos.
Not only was there chaos on the wall, but the yard under the wall was also starting to be chaotic. The fourth looked around in a panic, not realizing what was happening, but the emperor laughed loudly.
"Fourth, I'm afraid it's the clothes on your body, and you're about to take them off~"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of people appeared around him out of nowhere, separating them from the people brought by the fourth child. Those people were all wearing the armor of the Praetorian Guard, and their momentum was amazing, and they were many times stronger than those soldiers brought by the fourth child.
The Praetorian Guards are directly under the emperor, and no one can deploy them at will, they only recognize the jade seal, but now these Praetorian Guards have appeared in the East Palace, which makes the fourth child have to think.
"I didn't expect you to strike first! When exactly did it happen? Even the Praetorian Guards are in your hands? ”
The fourth child was not convinced, and asked angrily.
However, before the emperor could speak, the voice of a thin eunuch suddenly rang out.
"The emperor has arrived—"
Concubine Ruan thought that there was something wrong with her ears, but when she saw that the people around her also had shocked expressions, she realized that she had indeed heard correctly. The emperor who should have died. Did you make it here alive? Fraudulent corpses?
"It's not a corpse, it's just a bitter ploy~"
He seemed to see Concubine Ruan's doubts. Suddenly, he whispered in her ear. Concubine Ruan hurriedly turned her head and wanted to ask him something. saw his originally pleasant expression, and suddenly became extremely painful.
This face-changing kung fu made her a little surprised when she saw it, after all, he has always been calm and light-hearted, even when she was angry and refused to listen to him, he always had that smiling expression, as if the sky couldn't do anything to him.
"Father-so you're fine-Father-"
He took a few steps closer, stepped forward, and fell to his knees with a pop. In the direction where he was kneeling, the emperor had just walked there, and the old man on the throne who looked terminally ill was the emperor who should have died.
"Get up~ Prince, I'm scared of you."
The emperor was obviously very satisfied with his performance, and said this to him tremblingly, with a very kind expression. However, when the emperor looked at the fourth child on the side again, his cloudy gaze suddenly became sharp.
"Fourth. I just used such a small bitter trick, and you can't sit still? What do you want to do? Killing a brother and killing his father? Then you have to see if you have that ability! ”
Concubine Ruan thought that she would see the emperor's angry appearance, but he only shouted these two sentences angrily, as if he was teaching a wrong official. Maybe. In his eyes, his son is no different from an official, maybe. Even if he kills his brother and father, it is just an unthoughtful plan that is doomed to failure for him~
"You should have died a long time ago! Why are you still dragging it out and refusing to die! How long will you occupy this country? You should have died a long time ago! You old immortal! Give it all to me! Who killed this old horseman? I will make him a general to protect the country, and his official residence is a good product. There are countless beautiful concubines in Liangtian! ”
The fourth's expression became frantic and desperate, and he shouted at one of his generals. However, those generals were so frightened by this sudden blow that they had no fighting spirit, and they stood in place one by one, each with a hesitation in their eyes.
The emperor looked at the fourth child so coldly, as if he was watching a farce. The fourth child suddenly became even more crazy, he suddenly snatched a steel knife from a soldier beside him, and then slashed the man's neck with a backhand.
The man's neck was immediately cut in half, and blood spurted out, splashing the blood of the people around him.
"It's all on! If you don't go, you're dead! ”
The crazy move of the fourth child finally gave those hesitant soldiers a trace of firmness.
Yes~ They have already rebelled, anyway, they are all dead, it is better to fight, maybe they can succeed~
This kind of mood spread like a plague among so many people in an instant, and they, like the fourth child, had a crazy look in their eyes, and the big war was about to break out.
"Your Majesty, the sons and daughters think that there are many people here who have been instigated by some people, and if they can change their ways, they can leave their lives behind, and they will not harm their wives and children, and they will be released back to their hometowns, and as for those who should be punished, they naturally cannot be let go."
He said this in a very good voice, as if he had deliberately said it to some people, and those soldiers also looked at the one on the imperial chariot at this time, as if waiting for his answer.
The fourth child knew that as long as the emperor nodded, his last bit of hope would be gone, so he didn't even have the last bit of hesitation, and immediately rushed up with blood-red eyes.
"I'll kill you—kill you, and the country will be mine—"
The fourth child suddenly rushed forward with a steel knife, although the emperor was secretly hiding this time, but there were still many masters around him, so he was not moved, but sat on the emperor's chariot and still looked coldly at his son, who had been driven crazy by himself.
However, to the surprise of everyone present, the prince, who was originally kneeling on the ground to speak, suddenly straightened up and blocked between the emperor and the fourth child.
The fourth child's steel knife slashed at the prince's body impartially, and Concubine Ruan screamed in surprise, just about to rush over, but the guards with knives around the emperor were one step ahead of her.
The old man who didn't seem to have a heart at all, but this time he was moved, his expression was like a frozen snow-capped mountain suddenly thawing, and that trace of nervousness, Concubine Ruan could see it clearly.
At this time, Concubine Ruan finally understood what kind of big chess game her pillow person was playing.
Tonight's farce is over, in addition to the four princes, the emperor also caught the eighth prince and the tenth prince in the Qiankun Palace and the front square respectively, and the three princes were all sentenced to death, and all the soldiers who participated in the rebellion, except for the senior generals, were all deprived of their positions and sent back to their hometowns according to the prince's words, and did not harm their families.
