A concubine whispered: "Your Majesty, this matter must be a misunderstanding, His Royal Highness will not ...... Yes! ”

The crisp sound of "pop" shocked everyone.

She was slapped suddenly, but the Queen Mother stared at her coldly, and changed her pleasant face at the enthronement ceremony, staring at her sharply, as if facing a great enemy, "The mourning family hasn't suspected you of conspiring with the four princes, but you are in a hurry to jump out by yourself now?" ”

A hint of coldness flashed in the eyes of the fourth prince, "What is the Queen Mother anxious about, as the saying goes, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear, she is just saying her own opinions as a bystander, just like everyone present now." ”

He looked at the Queen Mother's gradually gloomy face, and every word carried obvious sarcasm, "Everyone present knows very well that the words of an assassin do not mean anything, but some people are eager to cover up some facts or have bad intentions, so they will generalize and rush to conclusions. ”

"What did you say!" The Queen Mother was furious.

The emperor stared at the fourth prince coldly, and said coldly: "Fourth brother, since you said that it is not you, then I choose to believe you, and you will continue to judge now!"

"Okay, my brother obeys."

The fourth prince hooked his lips lightly.

The rest of the Assassins looked at him as if they were demons from hell, their faces full of horror.

But this time, as soon as the fourth prince walked in front of a certain leading assassin, a few more people suddenly rushed in the courtyard!

These people are all newly recruited by the emperor's henchman General Zheng in the past few days, and they are deeply loved by General Zheng. They walked in front of the emperor and knelt down on one knee, "Your Majesty, your subordinates and others are late to save the driver, and I hope the emperor will forgive you!" ”

"All right, get up, and I forgive you for your innocence." The emperor waved his hand impatiently, but he heard a low cry of surprise!

"Ah, isn't this Wang Tiezhu?"

Everyone was shocked again!

General Zheng's subordinates would know this assassin? Could it be that this matter has anything to do with General I?

The emperor frowned, "What are you doing there, don't you hurry up and get out of here!" ”

"Brother Huang, what are you in a hurry?" The fourth prince curled his lips lightly, "There seems to be someone who knows the assassin here, and that is the most critical evidence, which is much more credible than the assassin's obvious false accusations just now." After that, he didn't give the emperor any chance to refute, and asked the man directly, "Do you know this assassin?" ”

The soldier said: "Back to the prince, this person is a soldier of the 36th detachment of the stormtrooper under our general's command, and my subordinates have had the honor to see him before!" ”

The assassin who was called Wang Tiezhu was suddenly shocked, and a cold sweat flowed, "You, don't talk nonsense, I, I don't know you, you, don't talk nonsense!" ”

"Iron pillar, if you know it, you will know it, if you don't know it, you won't know it, what can't you admit about this? Besides, I don't even know where you have a mole on your body, is it still useful for you to deny it now? ”

"......" Wang Tiezhu was shocked, and his face turned pale.

Looking at Wang Tiezhu's reaction at this moment, everyone knew that he did know the soldier.

The Emperor was furious, "Get out of here, I'm going to interrogate the Assassin myself!" ”

The fourth prince stood there without moving, and said lightly, "Brother Huang, why are you in such a hurry, this king is about to be tried." ”

The long sword in the hands of the fourth prince pointed directly at that Wang Dagui, "Say, does this matter have anything to do with General Zheng?" Is he trying to usurp power? ”

"No, it's not! It's none of the general's business! ”

"Now that you are an assassin, you are still so loyal to General Zheng, so it can be seen that the mastermind behind this incident is your general!"

"No, it's not!" Wang Tiezhu hurriedly said, "The subordinates and others are loyal to the general and the emperor, and they definitely don't have any betrayal!" ”

"Huh." A casual sneer escaped from the mouth of the fourth prince, "You are now openly assassinating the emperor on such an important occasion as the enthronement ceremony, this is also your so-called loyalty?" ”

Before Wang Tiezhu could continue to speak, the emperor had already stopped their conversation in a rage, raised his foot, and kicked Wang Tiezhu's body fiercely!

"Babbling dog minion!" The emperor, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, shouted: "Come on, immediately drag this dog slave down for me and cut it down, and then invite General Zheng to confront him!" ”

"No, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can't do this!" Wang Tiezhu immediately shouted anxiously, and then kowtowed desperately, "General, he is loyal to you, and he has no two hearts, even if you want him to assassinate His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, he has to obey, and even send his subordinates and others to help, Your Majesty, you must not doubt the general's loyalty!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!

So according to the current meaning, today's assassination was directed and acted by the emperor himself, deliberately used to frame His Royal Highness the Four Princes?

"Dog minion!" The emperor roared, and his face was gloomy and about to drip water.

He suddenly pulled the sword in the hand of the guard on the side, and with a stabbing sound, a sword pierced Wang Tiezhu's chest!

For a moment, another Assassin died, but the testimony turned out to be the opposite of the previous one.

"The Emperor's ——!" The rest of the Assassins stared at him in disbelief.

The eyes of each one seemed to be looking at the enemies who had a deep hatred, "The subordinates swear to protect and loyal, and there are no two hearts, even if they die in the hands of the four princes, the subordinates will not resent, will not retreat, and will not betray you, but you actually killed the iron pillar with your own hands?" How can you do that? ”

The "......" emperor was speechless and speechless, he didn't expect that they would turn against each other at all!

Yes, these assassins were all brought in by him to act, in order to deliberately frame the fourth brother, and take down the fourth brother in one fell swoop! But they ......

Seeing that the emperor's face was pale and half-speechless, the fourth prince hooked his thin lips and laughed at himself, "It turns out that the imperial brother actually planned to do this." ”

The Queen Mother's breath stagnated, and the emperor roared urgently: "Come on, kill all these nonsense assassins to me!" ”

I saw the emperor's bright yellow dragon sleeves wave, and continued coldly, "Also, arrest the fourth brother to me, he bewitched people's hearts and tried to assassinate Yu me, and now he dares to bite back, it is really a heinous crime, I will never let him go again this time!" ”

The emperor gave an order, and the leader of the forbidden army as the commander immediately summoned everyone!

In an instant, the forbidden army that had already been ambushed outside immediately dispatched with this order, swarming and surrounding the four princes in the middle!

Fierce battles, on the verge of eruption!

Even the forbidden army, which did not appear when the assassins came, rushed in at this moment, which shows how clear their purpose is!

Obviously, the words of those "assassins" just now are true.

During this period of time, especially when the four princes were falsely accused of rebellion and imprisoned in the palace, the relationship between the emperor and His Royal Highness the Four Princes has been in a frozen state, and the harmony on the surface is actually broken at the touch, and it seems that all the signs are paving the way for today's events. And today, it's finally a real confrontation!

When the forbidden soldiers moved one by one, their knives fell, and all the assassins kneeling on the ground were slaughtered!

For a while, blood gushed like a spring.

The entire ground was shrouded in blinding blood, extremely dark and gloomy.

Everyone looked at the four princes sympathetically, this prince who walked the rivers and lakes and was indifferent to fame and fortune, was finally removed by the emperor as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh.

However, just when everyone thought that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince could only be captured, outside, suddenly there were footsteps again!

A middle-aged man in a military uniform appeared in front of everyone, and everyone gasped.

It's General Zheng!

General Zheng's gaze swept over the corpses of the black-clothed assassins on the ground, his eyes mournful, "Your Majesty, how did you promise the last general in the first place?" You said that you just let them assassinate the four princes, and if they fail to be arrested, they will definitely not hurt their lives, and finally handed over your henchmen to you, but now you are ......"

The emperor's body shook slightly.

In such a grand manner, his shady behavior was exposed, especially when the other party was still known to his henchman General Zheng, he couldn't refute it for a while, and his face was instantly difficult to see the extreme, "General Zheng, isn't it that you are old now, and you don't even have a good memory?" When did I say I wouldn't hurt them? ”

"You ......," General Zheng looked at him in shock.

Before he could finish speaking, the emperor interrupted with cold eyes, "Come on, do it!" ”

The forbidden troops rushed towards His Royal Highness the Four Princes, who were surrounded in the center.

The fourth prince narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at the forbidden army rushing towards him, and his hands involuntarily clenched into fists.

"Stop!"

General Zheng suddenly shouted, "Your Majesty, what you did today is really disappointing to the last general!" ”

After saying that, he suddenly took out a bright yellow holy decree, "This is the will left by the first emperor to the last general before his disappearance - if one day you can't be the emperor well, lose the hearts of the people and let the subjects of the world sigh in disappointment, then please replace your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince!" ”

The emperor was shocked, his face changed suddenly, and he shouted angrily: "General Zheng!"

"Your Majesty, in order to ascend the throne, you did not hesitate to secretly draw a sword against your siblings, and even Her Royal Highness the eldest princess refused to let go. Obviously, you sent someone to poison the emperor, but it was the eldest princess who framed it. Because of your own selfish desires, you want to destroy the marriage with Eastern Qin, causing the country to disregard, and now you are even more in order to frame His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, and you do not hesitate to brutally kill so many loyal soldiers. ”

He counted the lack of virtue of the emperor one by one, and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, you are really disappointed by the general!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he raised his hand and waved, so that his soldiers surrounded the forbidden army one after another!

For a time, the situation was reversed again.

No one expected that General Zheng, who has always been loyal, would defect to the Four Princes at such a critical moment. And the most important thing is that General Zheng still holds the edict of the emperor in his hands!

The emperor gritted his teeth in anger, and said coldly, "General Zheng, do you know what the crime of falsely passing on the edict of the former emperor is?" ”

"The last general will never dare to do such unfaithful and unrighteous things."
