Lao Chai put the four princes on his shoulders and ran all the way in the direction of the capital.

At the same time, the eldest prince also headed towards the capital under the protection of everyone.

At this time, the letter from the eldest prince was also about to arrive in the capital, and a bloody storm was preparing to kick off in the capital.

The second prince is also sharpening his sword, preparing for the final blow.

"Slow down, slow down. You're going to kill me!" The fourth prince was held on the shoulders by Lao Chai Kang, his face was distorted, and he kept yelling.

Li Beixiang looked at the four princes who were constantly fluctuating, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the people of the eldest prince are chasing behind, we can't stop." If they catch up, it's over. ”

The fourth prince's face changed drastically, and he said urgently: "What? Are the people of the eldest prince still chasing? What can we do? Can we run?"

Li Beixiang smiled and said, "Fourth prince, don't worry, even if we don't want to fight for this life, we will definitely send you to the capital." This is our promise to you. ”

The fourth prince immediately cried out with emotion, and said: "Tribulation sees the truth, adversity sees the truth." I can have the protection of two brothers, it is a blessing that I Zhou Shunhao cultivated in my last life, as long as I arrive in the capital, I will definitely reward you heavily. ”

The fourth prince didn't know that the news that he was going to assassinate the eldest prince was revealed by Li Beixiang, and if he knew about it, it was estimated that he would have the heart to kill Li Beixiang.

At the same time, on the official road not far from here, a horse-drawn carriage was speeding rapidly.

The eldest prince sat in the carriage, holding the carriage, with a cold face: "What the hell is going on? Can anyone tell me? Why did this matter fail?"

Sun Wenjie sat in front of the eldest prince, wiped the cold sweat on his head, and said, "Your Highness, at this time, I am not entangled in the question of why I failed. We should hurry as soon as possible, only to rush to the capital in front of the four princes, and to sue them in front of His Majesty. Only then will we be able to salvage the defeat. If the four princes are allowed to rush in front of us, it will be miserable. ”

The eldest prince's face softened a lot, and he said, "It's still Mr. Sun's thoughtfulness, I almost got mixed up." Everything will be done according to what Mr. Sun said!"

The two sides were speeding down the road non-stop, and they both hoped that they could get to the capital before the other.

......

Two days later, after a long journey, the letter from the eldest prince was finally delivered to the capital in the evening.

Zhou Tianpeng, the emperor of the Tianyin Sect, was sitting in the imperial study at this time, and his face instantly turned cold when he looked at the letter in front of him.

Xiao Anzi, who was standing next to him, looked at this old but still majestic emperor, and his body couldn't help but tremble. The momentum on the emperor's body is too strong, and he has the fortune of the Tianyin Sect in his hand, even if he has never cultivated, he still has the cultivation of the Jindan period.

This is also the reason why these princes desperately want to sit in that position.

The temperature of the entire demand delay dropped a few points, Xiao Anzi wiped the cold sweat on his head and looked at the emperor.

"Hmph, it's unreasonable, it's unreasonable. Zhou Shunhao's courage is too big!" Zhou Tianpeng squinted his eyes and snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty is angry, it's not good to be angry and your body is bad!" Xiao Anzi comforted in a low voice.

Zhou Tianpeng stood up and walked back and forth in the imperial study.

"No, that's not right. The fourth child doesn't have such courage or strength, he can't do such a thing, there must be a mystery in this. After all, having been an emperor for decades, Zhou Tianpeng felt that there were too many loopholes in the letter in front of him in an instant.

After all, Zhou Shunhao is just a prince, and it is impossible to compare with Zhou Shuntian regardless of status or resources. If Zhou Shuntian killed Zhou Shunhao, then there is still some credibility. But if it was Zhou Shunhao who assassinated Zhou Shuntian, it was a little unlikely.

Zhou Tianpeng stopped, let out a long breath, and said, "Let's set up the dormitory!"

"Swing the dormitory!"

Xiao Anzi followed behind Zhou Tianpeng and shouted loudly.

The reason why Zhou Tianpeng is not in a hurry is because Zhou Shunhao is not dead at this time, which means that his two sons are still alive and well. After all, the letter said that Zhou Shunhao would be locked in Beijing.

It was for this reason that Zhou Tianpeng went to sleep with peace of mind.

The next day, the morning bell of the capital rang on time.

The gate of the palace slowly opened, and the officials who had been waiting at the gate of the palace for a long time slowly walked towards the Taiji Hall under the guidance of the inner attendants.

A large number of officials looked at each other when they walked, and there was a huge amount of energy in their eyes.

"There is a start, and there is no retreat. ”

A high-pitched voice from a eunuch echoed through the hall.

Zhou Tianpeng sat on the dragon chair, his eyes lowered, as if an old monk had settled down.

The officials standing below looked at Zhou Tianpeng and said in their hearts: "The emperor is already old, and this huge country should also be replaced by a young and powerful emperor." ”

"The minister has a book!" Zhao Ruyu, the secretary of the military department, took the wat board and stood up.

Zhou Tianpeng glanced at this person, then narrowed his eyes again, and did not look at him.

"Impeachment of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, Zhou Shunhao!"

Liu Ruyu said loudly, and his voice echoed throughout the hall. This Liu Ruyu is the number one general under Zhou Shuntian.

Zhou Tianpeng's eyes opened instantly, and he looked coldly at Liu Ruyu, the secretary of the military department.

The ministers who were standing looked at Liu Ruyu who was standing in the center of the hall and whispered.

Today is destined to be a day that will not be peaceful.

"Oh, what's wrong with the fourth? It actually provoked an impeachment of a military secretary?" Zhou Tianpeng squinted his eyes and said coldly.

Zhou Shunhao is Zhou Tianpeng's son after all, even if there is anything wrong, it can only be handled by Zhou Tianpeng himself, and now Zhou Tianpeng suddenly heard that someone impeached his son. This mood can be imagined.

"The four princes disregarded their brotherly love and wantonly killed them, trying to mobilize heavy troops and assassinate the eldest prince. Such a vicious person, the minister thought that he should be relegated to the common people, and the crime should be questioned according to the law. Liu Ruyu's voice was loud, and the voice kept echoing in the hall.

"The minister seconded, the minister seconded!"

One official after another stood up and stood behind Liu Ruyu.

Zhou Tianpeng looked at these officials and said in a deep voice: "What? How did you know that the fourth brother was going to assassinate the boss? Why didn't I know?"

Liu Ruyu said: "A friend of mine wrote to me last night and told me. This friend of mine is none other than the chief of staff of the eldest prince, Sun Wenjie. ”

"Hehe, your news spreads quite quickly! But do you have accurate evidence? Do you know that falsely accusing a prince is a felony to exterminate the Nine Clans?"

"How can the minister not know? It's just that under this bright and clear situation, even if the minister is willing to give up his life, he must expose the crimes of the four princes, let His Majesty see the ugly faces of the four princes clearly, and return me to the Tianyin Sect and the blue sky!" Liu Ruyu said righteously, looking at death as home.

Zhou Tianpeng looked at Liu Ruyu, did not answer, and became silent.

The entire hall instantly fell silent, and those ministers looked at Zhou Tianpeng, and their hearts went up and down.

"Let's discuss this matter again, and wait until my two sons come back, retreat!"

Zhou Tianpeng stood up, flicked his sleeves, and walked towards the apse.

"Retreat!" said the eunuch who had shouted to the court before.

The ministers slowly walked out, and several officials gathered around Liu Ruyu.

"Guys, this is a great opportunity. If the four princes are directly taken down, then the eldest prince will have one less powerful opponent. Although this eldest prince has no strength and a bad background, he can't stand the favor of our majesty. Liu Ruyu said.

"Yes, yes, but look at Your Majesty like this. You don't believe us!"

"So it's up to us, let's go back now, hurry up and mobilize the Kedao Imperial History under their respective subordinates, and let them play the impeachment, I don't believe it, and I can't impeach the four princes. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, go together, go together!"

The people of the second prince looked at all this coldly, and they originally wanted to act together to impeach the four emperors. But last night they received a warning from the second prince that they were not allowed to get involved, just watch the play.

At the beginning, they didn't understand the reason why the second prince did this, but after going to court today, they understood.

His Majesty doesn't believe in this at all now, and even if they try to impeach him, it will be useless.

A few hours later, the recital floated into the imperial study like a snowflake, and Zhou Tianpeng's desk was full of recitals.

Zhou Tianpeng opened a book casually, and then threw the fold to the ground.

"Xiao Anzi, you come over to screen it, if it is a recital to impeach the fourth child, it will be burned for me!" Zhou Tianpeng pointed to the recital on the table, rubbed his forehead, and said helplessly.

"Yes!"

Xiao Anzi walked over respectfully, moved the fold from the table to the ground, and carefully sifted it.

"By the way, you sent someone to find the prime minister!"

"Yes!"

A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Changwen, who was wearing a scarlet official robe, walked into the imperial study.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhang Changwen kowtowed respectfully.

"Come on, bring a chair to the prime minister!"

Xiao Anzi took a Xiudun and put it next to Zhang Changwen.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Changwen arched his hand, and then sat on the show dun carefully, and his butt was only half sitting.

"Your Majesty is looking for Wei Chen, what is the so-called matter?"

Zhang Changwen asked respectfully.

"I want to ask what the prime minister thinks of the fourth assassination of the boss. Zhou Tianpeng held his forehead and asked in a low voice.

The prime minister thought for a while and said, "This is a matter of the royal palace, and Weichen does not dare to speculate wantonly. Zhang Changwen said in a low voice.

"I ordered you to speak!"

"Since Your Majesty has ordered it, then Weichen will say it in vain. Wei Chen did not believe that the fourth prince would assassinate the eldest prince. First of all, the status of the four princes and the eldest prince is not at the same level at all. The eldest prince is the eldest son, and the fourth prince is only a concubine. There is no reason for the four princes to assassinate the eldest prince, even if the four princes want to assassinate the eldest prince, then they need a reason. But Weichen really couldn't understand why the fourth prince wanted to assassinate the eldest prince. ”
