The jade statue dug out is one foot and three inches high, and the carving is vivid, even the blind can see that it is An Zidao himself. The eight characters on the pedestal are also the birthday of An Zidao, and there are only a few people such as the crown prince, and outsiders have no way of knowing.

An Zidao trembled his hands and gently rubbed the jade statue, his eyes revealing pain. He remembered that on the day the prince was born, the gauze hat fell without wind, and it was regarded as ominous on the left and right, and it should be today.

Xu You stood very close to An Zidao, and could feel the sadness that his aging body was exuding, the once heroic emperor, at this moment, was just a poor father who was betrayed by his son and daughter.

Everyone around them all lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to come out, for fear that the emperor's thunderous anger would affect their bodies. I don't know how long it took, An Zidao said coldly: "Lin Shuanghu! ”

"The old slave is here!"

"Ordered the left guard to arrest Li Qi'er; ordered the right guard to imprison Shi An in the princess's mansion, and asked her to write a statement to defend herself, search her room, and take all the letters if there are any correspondence; ordered the sword swingers to strengthen the palace ban, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without my edict; Also, Xuan Zhu Daorong, Yu Hao, Gu Zhuo, Liu Ning, Xiao Xunqi and others came to meet! ”

This is the emperor finally made up his mind to summon important ministers overnight to discuss the abolition of the crown prince. Since ancient times, waste storage is a major event, often breaking muscles and bones, and the impact is great, An Zidao has made up his mind several times, but he has regretted it several times, precisely because he has too many scruples. Of course, he is also afraid that the pen of history is like iron, and he is afraid that future generations will say that he is too ruthless.

However, this time the evidence is conclusive, the law is unforgivable, the prince is in front of the rebellion, and after thousands of generations, no one will scold him for being a tiger poison and a cold-blooded man.

"The old slave obeys!"

Lin Shuanghu waited for three breaths again, and when he saw that An Zidao didn't speak, he asked, "Where is the East Palace?" ”

"Don't alarm that beast first, let the left and right guards act carefully, arrest people secretly, and if the news is leaked, they will be questioned together!"

"No!"

Lin Shuanghu gave the order, and a rapid coughing sound suddenly came from the quiet and terrible Hanzhang Palace, Xu You didn't hold back, and spit out a mouthful of blood, staining a large area of the bluestone slab on the ground that was as smooth as a mirror.

An Zidao turned his head, with a little concern on his face, and said, "Quickly call the imperial doctor......

"Ahem...... Ahem, my lord, the small people have Dr. Wen's medicine in their home, but if they send someone to get it, they will be afraid that they can't wait for too long to go back and forth. Please allow the Lord to allow the small people to leave the palace first and go back to Changganli to take medicine...... If, if you really die in the palace, it is too unlucky......"

An Zidao thought about it, how could Xu You not be able to report to the prince, and as he said, the sick body was difficult to heal, and it was when he wanted to abolish the establishment, and it was unfortunate to die in the palace.

"Go, good life will be raised, you do this miracle tonight, I will be rewarded in a few days!"

"Thank you, Lord Longne!"

The two royal sword swingers followed Xu You's side, and they never returned to the palace until Changganli, but guarded directly outside the bedroom door, which was both protection and guarding. Xu You didn't care, he pretended to take the medicine, and Qingming suddenly appeared in the room, and said, "The prince knows that Xue Anguo has entered the palace!" ”

Xu You prepared with both hands, he was responsible for sending Xue Anguo to see An Zidao, and Qingming sneaked into the East Palace to warn, presumably the prince had already found out that Li Que'er was arrested and Princess Shi'an was imprisoned, plus several important ministers entered the palace, and the next thing is to see whose heart is more ruthless and whose hands are darker!

Life and death are fateful, wealth is in the sky!

On the bright side, the emperor's strength naturally has an advantage, but the prince has been a prince for many years, and he must have gathered a lot of henchmen to serve his death, plus he is assisted by the Heavenly Master Dao - Xu You is very jealous of Sun Guan, this Heavenly Master has stood in Jiangdong for decades, and it is still unknown who will kill the deer until the last moment.

Standing in Xu You's position, the emperor and the crown prince are evenly matched is the best in his interests, and it is best to turn the world upside down and shake the country's foundation, so that he can fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the situation.

After Li Que'er was arrested, she confessed almost without resistance, and Princess Shi'an's mansion also found hundreds of letters between the prince and the king of Jingling, in which he called An Zidao his person, and his words were very disrespectful. An Zidao was very sad, showed the letter to Gu Zhuo and other ministers, and said: "The rebel son has no form, I intend to abolish it, do you have any objections?" His eyes swept over, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he said, "What about Xunqi?" Why hasn't it arrived yet? ”

He summoned five people, all four of whom came, but Xiao Xunqi was nowhere to be found. As soon as the words fell, a person came in from outside the hall, with a purple belt and a handsome appearance, it was Xiao Xunqi who was late.

If you talk about the Xiao family, it is really the first-class bloodline in the world, and both men and women in the family are handsome and incomparable. Xiao Xunqi's appearance and temperament, a proper fairy uncle, in the future generations, not to mention fascinate thousands of girls, at least he is also a star-level figure.

An Zidao didn't ask Xiao Xunqi why he was late, they are called Junchen, they are like brothers, where would they lose his face in front of everyone because of this little thing? Besides, Xiao Xunqi is in control of Sili Mansion, and his whereabouts are already secretive, so he came a moment late, so it didn't hurt.

Gu Zhuo handed Xiao Xunqi the letter he had just read, he probably browsed a few letters, and handed it back to Lin Shuanghu, looking as usual, sitting still. Yu Hao knew Xiao Xunqi's temper, he never expressed his opinion during the meeting, and only accepted the emperor's orders to act, as Shang Shuling, he had the most seniority, and he was the first to speak: "The prince is so rebellious, I agree with the dethronement." ”

The second one who agreed was Gu Zhuo, followed by Liu Ning, and Zhu Daorong, who finally expressed his position, recited the Buddha's name and said, "The Lord still wants King Jianping to take over the throne of the prince?" ”

An Zidao nodded and said, "Depose the prince, I have made up my mind." Summoning Zhuqing to meet late at night is for the selection of the new prince. ”

Yu Hao still insisted on recommending his son-in-law, Nanyang Wang An Xiuxuan, and Zhu Daorong used to like Guangling Wang An Xiuhong the most, but in order to prevent the night from dreaming too much and repeating the mistakes of the past, he changed his mind and supported King Jianping to take over.

Liu Ning also said: "The matter of establishing a prince should be out of the holy arms, and the courtiers should make a quick decision without delay." ”

With the support of Zhu Daorong and Liu Ning, An Zidao was determined and no longer listened to Yu Hao's opinions, and Qiangang was arbitrary and ordered someone to take King Jianping into the palace.

The plan has been decided, An Zidao ordered Yu Hao, Liu Ning and Gu Zhuo to go to the Shangshutai next to the Taiji Hall to check the allusions of the Han and Wei dynasties, such as the case of the abolition of the reserve, and Gu Zhuo is responsible for drafting the edict of the abolition of the reserve, just waiting for tomorrow to go to the court and announce the world.

In the Hanzhang Palace, only Zhu Dao and Xiao Xunqi remained, and An Zidao seemed to ask casually: "Xunqi, is there any change in the East Palace?" ”

"The lord can rest assured, from the crown prince to the second rate, and then to the generals in the army he encircled, they are all under the control of his subordinates. The Crouching Tiger Division is outside, and the Eagle Bird Division is inside, foolproof! ”

Donggong Errate was abolished for some reason a few years ago, and then the prince changed his temperament, was obedient and obedient, and showed filial piety in his words and deeds, so he resumed the system, but the number of troops was greatly reduced, only 5,000 people, and it could not become a climate.

The imperial court army is composed of six armies, which are divided into six generals: leader, protector, left guard, right guard, cloud cavalry, and ranger. In addition, there are five captains of tun cavalry, infantry, Yue cavalry, Changshui, and shooting, as well as the army led by the two generals of Jijian and Qiangjiao. The left guard and right guard armies, and the other armies guard the Beijing division, and when there is a war, they will be edicted to ask for it, and once the war is over, they will return to their original places.

Over the years, the prince has deliberately accepted it, and there are many of his disciples in the Sixth Army. However, the emperor had no intention of deposing, so he went with him, as long as it was not too much and let it go, and the right should lay a foundation for the future succession. Otherwise, once the emperor Bintian has no generals and no soldiers in his hands, how can he sit firmly on the throne under his buttocks?

But now the situation has changed, the emperor wants to depose the crown prince, and those generals who have been co-opted have become unstable factors, so before the ceremony of appointing the monk lord of the world, he secretly ordered Xiao Xunqi to strictly monitor it, and report it immediately if there is any trouble.

Si Lifu's methods, An Zidao never doubted, which was also the reason why he was not in a hurry to send troops to control the East Palace.

Taicheng is lively, and the East Palace is not lagging behind, receiving a warning from an unknown person, the prince urgently convened the subordinates of the East Palace to discuss, and sent an eyeliner to inquire about the information. Within three moments, it was almost certain that the emperor was coming this time, King Hengyang gritted his teeth and said, "Prince, you can't wait, don't do it twice, it's the other way around!" ”

The prince had this intention and said: "Fortunately, some time ago, you and I took the blame, which made the other person relax his vigilance and gave us a good chance to breathe. Now that everything is ready, it may not be impossible to fight to the death. ”

"Exactly!" Yudao's really enchanting eyes flashed with excitement and cruelty, and said: "Since he doesn't think about the relationship between father and son, the prince can't sit still, the wind is from the dragon, the cloud is from the tiger, if you Langjun wants to be rich and noble, it is tonight!" ”

Wei Tianzhi looked at Cao Shu of the left guard, Yin Su of the right guard, He Zheng, the general of the crossbow, Feng Chaozhi, the general of the Tun cavalry, and the generals of the army, Ren Jian and others, and said: "What do the generals think? ”

Although Feng Chaozhi, the general of the Tun cavalry, has been very close to the prince in recent years, he has never thought of rebellion just for speculation, so he knelt down from the table and cried bitterly: "I haven't heard of this since ancient times, and I ask the prince to think twice." ”

The prince also cried: "It's not that I'm not filial, but the lord listens to the slander, and is about to see the crime deposed, I ask myself if there is no big mistake, I don't want to be wronged by this, as long as General Feng nods, I will be the marquis in the future, and I will ensure that your Feng family will always enjoy wealth and prosperity!" ”

Feng Chaozhi struggled to dissuade him, annoying the prince, and glared angrily: "Do you think I can't make it?" ”

Feng Chaozhi turned his heart and said: "It may be done, but what about after it is done?" I'm afraid that the prince will not be tolerated by heaven and earth, and he will eventually die without a place to be buried! ”

The prince was so angry that he said, "Take it!" ”

There were four little grandmasters standing behind him, and only one of them made a move, immediately subduing Feng Chaozhi. He still scolded himself, and the prince pulled out the long knife on Cao Shu's waist, snorted, and stabbed Feng Chaozhi in the chest.

"Who else has objections?"

Everyone hurriedly knelt down and said, "Do your best to obey the order!" ”

The prince was so proud that he immediately wore a military uniform and a red coat on the outside, and ordered five thousand soldiers in the East Palace, dressed in strong and stubborn clothes, lit torches, and rushed straight to Taicheng.

At the same time, Shen Muzhi, who had just arrived at a naval dock in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River the day before yesterday, also received an edict from the prince and led more than 30 elite warships of the Shen family, totaling 30,000 tigers and wolves, to enter Xuanwu Lake through the mouth of the Yangtze River, and then along the moat to block the water in the siege of Taicheng.

Hearing the movement in the city, the rest of the army lords did not know the situation, most of them waited and watched, and suddenly received a prince Xima Shen Yue held the prince's token, saying that Liang Xiu, the general of the left guard, had rebelled and had taken the lord hostage to occupy Taicheng. The crown prince is leading the army to besiege it, and the edict orders all departments not to act rashly, so as not to be injured by mistake.

Liang Xiuyuan was a general of the Wei State, and later returned to the Southern Dynasty, deeply appreciated by An Zidao, and reused as the general of the left guard, and the palace was forbidden by the guard.

If you talk about others, there may not be a few people who believe it, but Liang Xiu rebelled, but it was easy to reach a consensus. However, there are also those who are not interested, such as the crossbow general Jiang Ying, who did not trust Shen Yue, and summoned his subordinates to rescue Taicheng, but was unexpectedly stabbed to death by the most powerful henchman around him, and then announced that he was assassinated by the assassins sent by Liang Xiu, and the deputy Zhang Chu temporarily took the position of the crossbow general.

Zhang Chu was originally the old department of the second rate of the East Palace. After the emperor abolished the second rate, many of the original troops were scattered and incorporated into the various departments of the Chinese army, according to the custom, within three months, you can cut off the connection with the East Palace, but under the strong intervention of the Heavenly Master Dao, most of these soldiers are the sect members of the Heavenly Master Dao, and they are scattered but not chaotic, and they are still firmly controlled by the prince.

There are many people like Zhang Chu, which is also the confidence of the prince to dare to rebel.

An Zidao thought that he had the ticket to victory, but he didn't know that his Chinese army had already been eroded, and now the only thing he could rely on was the left and right guards of the palace guards, and the invincible sword swingers.

The father-son showdown is about to begin!
