"Dare to ask Elder Du Ge, where did you get all this news?"

An inquiry was made.

Du Anjiao said: "Yesterday, the King of Qi personally led the army, originally wanting to go to rescue the Emperor, but he was almost deceived and murdered by traitors.

If it weren't for the fact that someone on the mountain risked his life to go down the mountain to report to the King of Qi, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the King of Qi would have fallen into the hands of traitors......

The king of Qi, who learned the truth on the mountain, originally wanted to lead his troops to attack the mountain and rescue the emperor and His Majesty, but the traitors had already taken precautions, and the number of people was overwhelming, so the king of Qi was invincible, so he had to evacuate and return to Beijing to expose the crimes of the king of Hejian to the court!

The news that the old man knew was brought back by His Royal Highness King Qi from Iron Net Mountain in person! ”

"I see, traitors are so hateful......"

"Exactly ......"

"What about His Royal Highness King Qi? We want to see King Qi! ”

Facing the ministers who had been completely aroused in their loyalty, Du Anzhu glanced at the king of Beijing, and then King Shui Rong stood up and said: "When I heard about this last night, Xiao Wang was also furious.

Originally, Xiao Wang also personally begged His Royal Highness King Qi to come forward to preside over the overall situation and help the court tide over the difficulties.

Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness King Qi insisted on refusing to ......

Now His Royal Highness King Qi is probably accompanying the queen in the East Palace. ”

When the ministers heard this, they remembered that His Royal Highness the King of Qi was not pleased with His Majesty, and even His Majesty left Beijing, but did not let the King of Qi supervise the country......

What's more, His Royal Highness King Qi had misunderstood His Majesty's disobedience before, and at this time, it was normal for His Royal Highness King Qi to be reluctant to come forward.

Moreover, His Royal Highness King Qi is really sincere, benevolent and filial, at this time, he did not forget to garrison the East Palace, which is really sighing and admirable!

"At this time when the imperial court is in danger, His Royal Highness King Qi, as the prince, should shoulder the responsibility of supporting the society.

Besides, when the Emperor and His Majesty are in trouble, apart from the King of Qi, who can take on this great responsibility?

Please also ask the prince of Beijing to invite His Royal Highness King Qi out! ”

"We beg King Qi to leave the palace!"

"We beg King Qi to leave the palace!"

“……”

……

In the East Palace, after Empress Ye heard the statement of the second prince, she was naturally extremely surprised.

asked a few questions, and the second prince also answered them fluently.

Suddenly, I heard that the female officials around me came to report: "The ministers of the former dynasty have rushed here, saying that they want to kneel down and invite the king of Qi to discuss the affairs of the dynasty......"

Empress Ye pondered for a moment and said to the second prince: "You know what you said about the palace, and now the ministers are in front of you to invite you out to discuss matters, so you can go first." ”

The second prince said: "The sons are only shallow in learning, and I really don't know what to do at this time."

The major affairs outside are still handed over to Du Ge Lao and them, and the sons are here to accompany the queen mother......"

Empress Ye looked at him and said for a while:

"As you said, now that the court has reached the point of life and death, as the prince and the prince of Qi, you should shoulder your own mission at this time.

This palace is not an ignorant woman, and you don't need to serve here, just go out and do what you should do. ”

"This ......"

"Go ahead."

The second prince had no choice but to get up, salute and withdraw.

As soon as he came out of Changle Palace, his personal eunuch stepped forward: "Elder Du Ge has sent news, His Royal Highness can come forward......

The second prince looked grim, nodded, turned around and forgot to glance at Changle Palace, and turned to leave.

……

When they heard that His Royal Highness King Qi had finally agreed to discuss the affairs of the court, the ministers were very happy, and they all rushed back to the main hall to wait.

It's just that when the prince who came out of all their calls appeared, some people were dumbfounded.

On the top of the second prince's head, a white turban is tied!

"Your Highness, this is ......"

One couldn't help but ask.

It was already midnight when the second prince and others entered Kyoto last night, so the news they heard didn't spread for a long time, and most people only knew the news of a rebellion by the king of Hejian!

The second prince glanced at the person who spoke, slowly walked forward, stood still at the foot of the imperial steps, and turned around.

The ministers fell silent.

"But the adults wonder why this king is dressed up like this?" The second prince spoke.

The ministers nodded, and one of them said in a trembling voice: "Dare to ask Your Highness, who is this criticizing filial piety?" ”

"As you think, Your Majesty, you have died!"

The second prince said with a sad face.

The ministers were shocked, and some people shouted sadly: "Your Majesty, ......"

Du Anzhu seemed to have just heard the news, and immediately asked, "May I ask Your Highness, who did Your Majesty harm?" ”

"It's the ...... of the King of the River"

"Why did he want to harm His Majesty?"

The second prince said: "He raised an army to make a rebellion, and he was afraid that he would be charged with killing the king, so he instigated the rebellion on the iron network mountain and blamed His Majesty, saying that His Majesty had committed disobedience and murdered the emperor."

Yesterday, the king led the army to the iron net, and the king of Hejian wanted to trick the king into the mountain on the grounds that the emperor had quelled the rebellion.

Fortunately, the loyal and righteous people on the mountain sacrificed their lives to deliver a message to the king, and the king was able to know the truth on the mountain......

When the king of Hejian saw that the conspiracy was exposed, he raised his army again to encircle and suppress the king.

Although this king has the intention to rescue the emperor, how can he be outnumbered, he has no choice but to withdraw to the capital first, one is to expose the crimes and ambitions of the king of Hejian to the adults, and the other is to ask the adults to plan to rescue His Majesty and the emperor.

But then the king got the news that His Majesty was in charge of the sky!

Later, after careful inquiry, this king learned that it turned out that the king of Hejian did not catch this king, and he was worried that the court would know about his crime, so he plotted to kill His Majesty, intending to blame this king......

In this way, it was this king who harmed His Majesty!

This king felt deeply guilty, so when the prince of Beijing and Du Ge invited this king to participate in the court meeting, this king refused. This king really has no face to face. ”

After listening to the statement of the second prince, the ministers were all shocked.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Taishang and the others had already happened in just a few days after they arrived at Tiewang Mountain......

The King of the River, what a bold man!

They had almost no doubts about what the second prince said.

First of all, what the second prince said was reasonable, and it matched the sporadic news they had received before.

Secondly, and most importantly, the second prince has been in the capital before, and he will definitely not be able to participate in the affairs of the mountain. Even if I led the troops to Tiewang Mountain yesterday, I would go in the morning and return in the evening, and I would have no time to do anything else!

Saying that the second prince killed the monarch is simply nonsense.

So, some people persuaded the second prince to mourn, saying that this is not the time to be sad and sad.

The second prince said admittedly: "Your Excellency is right, in the mother's harem before, the queen mother also reprimanded me, saying that at this time, as a prince, I should not only blame myself and escape, but should shoulder the responsibility on my shoulders!" Therefore, the queen mother ordered me to obey the requirements of the princes and lead the court to tide over the difficulties together! ”

"Queen Mother Shengming!"

King Shui Rong of Beijing came out at the right time and said: "The so-called country cannot be without a king for a day, and the court cannot be without an owner for a day!"

Now His Majesty is in trouble, and the Emperor Taishang has fallen into the hands of thieves, at this time of crisis, the king proposes that the king of Qi should immediately succeed to the throne, in order to better lead the ministers and quell the rebellion of the king of Hejian! ”

The ministers were stunned for a moment, then reacted, and said one after another: "What the prince of Beijing said is very true, I respectfully ask His Royal Highness the King of Qi to inherit the unification!" ”

The second prince was originally the "prince" selected by the emperor, and since Emperor Jingtai is dead, it is natural for them to support the second prince to ascend the throne.

Could it be that apart from the second prince, is there any other candidate?

The second prince looked at such a scene, even if he had a plan in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Has he finally waited for this day?

In the end, he was not completely dazed, he quickly woke up and said in a deep voice: "Never! If this king ascends the throne and becomes emperor at this time, how is it different from the king of the river?

Everything, just wait for the return of the Emperor!

This matter has been decided by the king, and you must not say more! ”

Although he has taken control of the capital, the power in the capital is too complicated, and some people may not fully believe the public opinion he has created.

If he holds the enthronement ceremony in a hurry, there will definitely be people who will be suspicious!

Besides, how dare he deceive himself, his crisis is far from being resolved.

Sooner or later, the people of Tiewang Mountain will leave for Beijing, if they can't pass this pass, even if they sit on the throne, they will only be a dew emperor!

Instead of rushing to the throne and finally being driven down by someone and becoming a laughing stock in the future, it is better to calm down first and deal with the upcoming crisis with all your might!

He had a chance to win.

Emperor Jingtai is dead, and Emperor Taishang is in danger and may die at any time.

Therefore, even if the people on the Iron Net Mountain know his background, as long as they are all killed for treason.

As for revealing his background to the world? Hehe, for him, who has already controlled the capital and the righteousness, it is useless, it is just a malicious framing and slander!

However, the premise of all this is that he must be able to defend the capital.

Seeing the resolute attitude of the second prince, the ministers admired more and more in their hearts.

Since this is the case, King Beijing and others retreated to the next best thing, and ordered the second prince to supervise the country, and after rescuing the emperor, they would talk about the enthronement.

In this way, the second prince did not refuse.

With these things clearly explained, it is natural that how to "counter the rebellion" should be put on the agenda.
