Chapter 1142: Chaos
His Majesty's stubborn illness is not cured, and the two princes are fiercely competing for the crown.
In order to compete for that supreme position, the eldest prince and the third prince should have come and gone, and they used all the means to do everything......
This has been the case for the crown prince in all dynasties, and the eldest prince and the third prince have also done this.
But what no one expected was that when the first emperor was in court yesterday morning, he also announced a series of decrees in high spirits, and collapsed in the palace at night.
There was not a trace of defense.
There is no edict of succession.
The crown prince is not in Jingshi.
Although the position of the crown prince of Qi is not as stable as that of the surrounding countries, the crown prince is the nominal heir to the throne.
But the problem is that at such a critical moment, the crown prince is not in Beijing.
It is the three princes who remain in Beijing, and the three princes who are already full of wings in the court, if the crown prince succeeds to the throne, the three princes will definitely die, there is no doubt about it.
And vice versa.
At this time, it was late at night, and most of the people in the capital had fallen into a deep sleep, but when the bell in the palace that represented the death of the emperor rang, the officials and dignitaries and the common people all woke up from their sleep.
Qian Caishen hurriedly put on his clothes, and before he had time to button them, he had already rushed to the door and said loudly: "Quick, prepare the car, go to Fengwang's Mansion!" ”
At this time, the sedan chair of Cui Jiang, the head of the household department, had stopped in front of King Feng's mansion.
When the money and wealth god Feng Wang Mansion was in front of the palace, there were more than ten sedan chairs on both sides.
"Your Highness should mourn and focus on the overall situation!"
"It's a great time for us!"
"Your Highness, give the order quickly!"
……
Qian Caishen walked into King Feng's mansion, and the three princes were already surrounded by people, and everyone had excitement on their faces, urging them repeatedly.
In a short time, countless figures walked out of King Feng's Mansion and disappeared in all directions.
His Majesty died, the crown prince left Beijing, and only the three princes presided over the overall situation.
On the night of the death of the first emperor, the three princes entered the palace overnight to arrange many matters.
On the second day, before all the officials gathered at the palace gate, Shangshu Youcheng took out a "testament" and read it out in public.
This is an edict of succession.
The edict said that the crown prince Zhao Zheng did not cultivate virtue, centrifuged and departed from morality, the first emperor was the people of Qi and the common people of the world, and the crown prince Zhao Zheng was abolished, and the throne should be passed on to the third prince Zhao Yi......
Whether this edict is true or not, most people are skeptical.
Before the prince left Beijing, His Majesty praised him a lot, how could such an edict come out after a few days?
But at this time, today's Beijing division has been firmly controlled by the three princes, and many ministers in the court also respect him as the master, even the officials who were loyal to the prince before, and they did not dare to stand up at this time......
The first emperor had just died, and the three princes could not succeed to the throne immediately, but with the edict of succession, he had obtained a military talisman, which was enough to order 50,000 forbidden troops in Beijing, and there were too many courtiers loyal to him in the court, so in just one night, he gained control of the entire Beijing division.
The Jingshi, who has been treacherous for several years, seems to have ended all the chaos and settled in an instant.
Shengzhou, which is hundreds of miles away from Jingshi.
His Royal Highness the Prince, who had just swept away the Holy Sect bandits and was riding on a horse, turned pale in an instant when he received an urgent report from the front, his body shook, and he fell off the horse.
The guards on the left and right hurriedly helped him up and said loudly: "Imperial Doctor, quickly pass on Imperial Doctor!" ”
Fang Yu took a step forward and pinched Zhao Zheng's people, and after a while, he coughed heavily a few times and woke up.
Zhao Zheng's face turned pale, and he kept muttering: "It's over, it's over, everything is over......"
He never imagined that his father would suddenly die when he left Beijing.
Zhao Yi had already controlled all the situation in Kyoto, everything he had done, everything he had fantasized, and the throne he had been thinking about for a long time had all come to naught.
Fang Yu shook him heavily and said, "Your Highness, you can't give up!" ”
Zhao Zheng looked at him and said with a miserable smile: "Zhao Yi must have controlled the forbidden army and the Jingshi now, what should I fight with him, what will I use to fight him?" ”
Syllable!
Fang Yu slapped him in the face, and the corners of Zhao Zheng's mouth overflowed with blood, and he froze in place.
"The third prince only controls the Jingshi, but only controls the 50,000 forbidden army!" Fang Yu looked at him and said angrily: "You are the crown prince, this throne should be yours, he is just a rebel, just a thief, there are 50,000 forbidden troops in the Beijing Division, but in addition to the Beijing Division, there are 150,000 troops, where did you lose!" ”
Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and finally understood.
There are 200,000 permanent troops in the Gyeonggi region, of which only 50,000 are in the Beijing Division, and the remaining 150,000 are scattered in the Gyeonggi Prefectures.
He immediately took out a sign from his waist, stuffed it into Fang Yu, and said, "Envoy Fang, hurry, be quick, you must be ahead of that anti-thief!" ”
"Your Highness, rest assured!" Fang Yu took the sign, turned around and left.
After walking more than ten steps, a sneer appeared on his face, Jingshi must be captured, and at that time, Zhao Zheng will not have any need to exist.
Niangniang's plan is much simpler than directly helping Zhao Zheng to take the position.
……
The outbreak of the military disaster was extremely sudden, the first emperor died, and the third prince took the opportunity to take the throne and controlled the 50,000 forbidden troops of the Beijing Division......
Although the three princes are in the important place of the Beijing Division, but they have been cut off from the back road, in the face of more than twice the troops, they can only rely on the danger of the city wall, they can hold on, if it is not the important land of the Beijing Division, the grain and grass hoarding is active, I am afraid that it will not be able to resist for long......
However, the Gyeonggi region, which had always been stable, was reduced to a place of war in a short period of time, and although the army of the Great Prince, unlike foreign invasions, wantonly slaughtered the people, it was not uncommon for them to forcibly requisition grain and grass, and forcibly requisitioned and transferred.
The entire Gyeonggi region is full of panic......
Katsuju.
A purple-clothed man walked into a large camp somewhere, bowed down and said: "Protecting the Dharma, several armies, all of them have fallen under our control, Zhao Zheng is no longer of great use to us, it is better to ......"
Fang Yu waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, on the surface, we still need His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a cover, otherwise, the teacher will be unknown......"
Even though the Holy Sect has been operating in the Qi Kingdom for more than 20 years, after Zhao Zheng's complete decentralization, it has reached the pole of strength, but without Zhao Zheng, they are just anti-thieves like the three princes, and with Zhao Zheng, they are the teachers of justice......
As for the fact that after the capture of Jingshi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accidentally fell ill and died, fell to death while riding a horse, and choked to death while eating, ......, this can only be predicted by God.
Fang Yu looked at the outside of the account, sighed, and muttered, "If there is a heavenly punishment, it is just to capture a city, what is the difficulty?" ”
Capital.
In the south, east, west, and north, all the city gates have been closed, the suspension bridge by the moat has been raised, and the entire Jingshi has entered a state of alert.
Feng Wang Zhao Yi had already taken over the Jingshi, but did not move into the palace.
In King Feng's mansion, a group of officials and strategists had gloomy faces.
No one expected that the speed of the eldest prince would be so fast, and in a very short period of time, he would control most of the troops in the Gyeonggi region and surround the Gyeonggi division.
Although there is no way to break through the Beijing division with more than twice the troops, the Beijing division is now isolated and helpless, and they are consumed like this, if the reinforcements are delayed, this city will always be empty one day.
In retrospect, the prince left Beijing, His Majesty died, and the prince led his troops to besiege the city......
Before and after this whole thing, it seems that there has been a pair of invisible big hands playing with it......
……
When Li Yi got the news, he was also stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses.
The Emperor of Qi actually died.
Zhao Yi took control of Kyoto, but he was made dumplings, and the eldest prince was also considered a blessing in disguise, but he temporarily lost the throne, and when Zhao Yi was consumed, he would sit back in that position sooner or later.
Of course, these are all so predicted by others.
Li Yi probably understood what that Dao Gu wanted.
What they want is the entire Qi country, and Zhao Zheng, including Zhao Yi, are their pawns.
They may not be smart enough, but the power is really too great, a grandmaster abandoned martial arts, started a cult, and has been doing it for more than 20 years, no one knows how far they have infiltrated in the Qi country......
In this way, I am afraid that it was really Zhao Yi who forced them to be anxious these days, which pushed the chaos of Qi State......
If a good balance is not maintained, why does Zhao Yi force others to force it so hard, creating evil......
