Chapter 18: The Death of the Three Princes
The eldest prince and Du Nanzi were chatting happily in the dungeon, but the third prince was in a hurry.
He felt his anxiety turn into flames, and then spewed out of his body.
"Why is it so slow, why hasn't the news come yet? Could it be that the eldest brother already knows? Robbed Li Xian's soldiers and horses? The third prince, He Qizhi, walked back and forth, and was in a hurry.
The day after tomorrow is the canonization ceremony, and if the emperor can't change his words at that time, then the crown prince is seated.
There is no longer anything to do with the three princes.
has the heart of the army and sits on the throne of the prince, who would dare to touch him?
If you move, you can't get along with the army of the Great Xia Empire.
And the grievances between the third prince and the eldest prince are no longer a matter of one or two days.
When the time comes, the eldest prince will successfully ascend the throne, and the third prince will probably not have much way to live.
Therefore, if you want to get the crown prince, you can only do it before the crown prince canonization, anyway, as long as you stop it a second before the emperor Lao'er speaks.
It's just that if you want to stop it, you have to have strength, and the third prince is now preparing for strength.
Now that time is pressing, no trick can change this fact, so he is ready to launch a mutiny and force the emperor Lao'er to canonize himself as the crown prince.
He had already contacted Li Xian, a prince of the Northland, who was the only one who supported him among all the princes who had soldiers and horses.
If you want to suppress the imperial city, you can only use the hands of Li Xian.
And it has to be taken by surprise, so that the eldest prince has no time to mobilize troops and horses, and when the time comes, the army will be overwhelmed, and it will be directly in the imperial city, and the emperor will not change his words.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!" A guard hurried in and handed over a letter.
After taking the letter and opening it, the three princes made up their minds.
"Li Gendarme's soldiers and horses have been stationed ten miles away, and when the time comes, they will pretend to be dressed up, who can find out that it is the soldiers and horses of other princes?" He Qi's heart said.
For this matter, he has already arranged everything, and the night before the canonization ceremony, a group of troops will secretly go out of the city and exchange with Li Xian's soldiers and horses.
In this matter, he hid it from the eyes of the emperor and He Tianxing.
The only ones who knew were him and the man.
"Although the eldest brother is strong in force, how could he have thought that some of his subordinates have already betrayed him?" He Qizhi smiled: "Haha, when I ascend to the position of the crown prince, I don't know what the expression of the eldest brother will be!" ”
Yes, the thousand-strong army that secretly went out of the city at that time was the army led by He Tianxing's generals.
At that time, the soldiers under the eldest prince were replaced by Li Xian's soldiers, and when the soldiers forced the imperial city, there would be no one to resist.
You must know that this is the capital of the country, the place where the imperial city is located, and soldiers and horses cannot easily enter.
The army of a few thousand people is not small, but it was transferred out, and when the time comes, it will be replaced by someone else's.
Even if He Tianxing wanted to use people, there was no one to use.
The third prince is famous for his strategy, and now he is forced to use this trick, he has no other way.
This method of stealing beams and changing pillars seems simple, but at this time, the risk is also very high.
The third prince is desperate now, and he can only do this, and he is stronger than any prince in his desire for the crown prince.
If the second prince sits on the crown prince, he can still get it slowly, but once the eldest prince sits on it, he will be powerless.
The eldest prince's ascension to the throne is justifiable, and the eldest prince has made countless meritorious deeds and has a deep military heart.
Once he sat on the throne of the crown prince, the military spirit was more stable, and when he went against him, he would be against the soldiers of the entire Great Xia Empire.
…………
Time passed quickly, and on the day of the canonization ceremony, the eldest prince wore a phoenix-winged purple and gold crown, gold armor, a black-haired horse on his crotch, and a red cloak on his shoulder.
The cloak fluttered in the wind, like a raging flame wrapped around him.
At the canonization ceremony, He Tianxing insisted on wearing battle armor and riding a horse, which can be regarded as a certain obsession of his, his reverence for the founding emperor.
In addition to his meritorious deeds, Emperor Wu was famous for his martial arts.
Although He Tianxing is now going to ascend to the throne of the crown prince, he still has to wear battle armor.
After all, there is a precedent for Emperor Wu, it is said that in the last dynasty, Emperor Wu was wearing battle armor, He Tianxing did this, and the emperor Lao'er naturally agreed.
Just when He Tianxing was about to get off his horse and step up the steps, a shout of killing suddenly sounded, and the momentum was monstrous.
Immediately after, thousands of soldiers in armor rushed in, followed by He Qizhi and Li Xian.
"Third brother, today is the canonization ceremony of the eldest brother, you dare to collude with foreign soldiers to invade the imperial city, you really don't want to live!" The second prince said angrily.
The third prince, He Qizhi, stepped forward immediately, and wanted to speak, but saw that his second brother had already rushed forward with a knife.
At this time, He Qizhi also knew that there was no way out, and at the moment he was ruthless in his heart, bending his bow and arrows, and when the second brother reached the distance, his spiritual power poured out violently, interfering with the other party's thinking.
This is the ability of his spiritual power after sublimation, but he has been hiding this all the time and has not been known by others.
The second prince was stunned, his thinking was disturbed, his protective qi disappeared, and the arrow shot off the string, directly through his throat.
At this point, the third prince no longer cares about the position of the crown prince, what he wants now is the throne!
The third prince immediately said: "Father, it doesn't hurt if you want to make the eldest brother the crown prince, but you are old, it's time to abdicate and make way for Xian!" ”
At this time, this kind of drama is being staged, and if you still can't understand the meaning of this sentence, you can only say that you are a fool.
The emperor Lao'er was immediately half angry to death, pointing at his third son and unable to say a word.
He Tianxing looked at his third brother coldly, and with a wave of his big hand, someone handed over a seven-foot long sword.
Without saying a word, he rode towards the thousands, and a red aura rose from his body, which was the protective qi he released, which was integrated with the flame-like cloak behind him.
Li Xian waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him bent their bows and arrows, and a rain of arrows shot out.
It's just that none of these arrows can break through He Tian's protective qi, and they are all blocked at a distance of one foot.
"Formation!" Li Xian shouted.
In this world, personal force is indeed very high, and the saying that one husband should be closed is not false.
Especially like the eldest prince, the existence of an explosive force value.
In order to deal with such an ultra-high force value of individuals, and to avoid the phenomenon of one person breaking up the army in battle, the military formation was also developed, connecting the breath of each soldier together to form a formation, strong as a fortress.
Even He Tianxing, who had the first place in the world, did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the military array.
It's just that He Tianxing will give them a chance to form a formation, when he rode the horse, he saw him take off the big bow, and there were no arrows, so he pulled the string directly.
A red arrow formed by internal qi appeared, detached from the string, and shot out like a missile.
With a bang, the army of thousands of people was directly blown open a gap, and at least two hundred people were killed by this arrow.
Seeing this scene, Li Xian's eyes were about to fall out.
"How can you have such strength!? This is different from what the intelligence says! Li Xian hurriedly shouted, "Don't panic, quickly form a formation!" ”
Li Xian knew that the reason why the power of this arrow was so great was only because the military formation had not yet been formed, otherwise it would be impossible to kill two hundred people at once, and twenty people would be at most.
It's just that even if you don't form a military formation, you can kill 200 people with one arrow, and this destructive power is a bit exaggerated!
He Qizhi's face was not much better than him, he himself hid the ability to open after the sublimation of his spiritual power, and He Tianzhi also hid his strength after the breakthrough.
He Qizhi pretended to be smart, thinking that without soldiers and horses, He Tianxing would be a lamb to be slaughtered, but where could he imagine it.
The current He Tianxing, with one enemy and a thousand is not a problem at all, even if it is an army of 10,000 people, He Tianxing can single-handedly kill seven in and seven out, and retreat with his whole body.
However, the premise is that a military formation is not formed, otherwise the strength of rushing in will inevitably be suppressed by the aura of the sergeants as one.
Even if it is He Tianxing, in the formation of 10,000 people, it will only become a living target.
…………
There is no need for those already small guards to do it, and the eldest prince can solve these thousands of soldiers alone.
The job of the guards is to protect the emperor who is high above.
He Tianxing's crotch was not an extraordinary horse, and when he opened that gap, he had already rushed in and immediately turned on the peerless mode.
The seven-foot long sword slashed and smashed the enemy, and the army could not be formed at all.
Seeing this scene, Li Xian didn't say a word, just turned his head and ran.
"It's important to save your life, when the time comes, retreat to the north, and beware of the formation day and night, even if the eldest prince comes in person, there is no fear!" Li Xian thought to himself.
As for who the third prince is now, does he know him?
…………
The cold blade of the sword was against the throat of the third prince, and He Tianxing looked at him, his eyes full of helplessness.
I recall that when I was a child, several siblings played together, and as the eldest brother, I took them to hide and seek in the back garden.
But who would have thought that now it would be a sword facing each other, and you have to separate yourself from life and death.
He Tianxing said: "Qizhi, you shouldn't have killed your second brother, you shouldn't have forced your father to abdicate, and you shouldn't have fought against me!" If you don't do any of this, there's still a chance to live. ”
"Oppose?" He Qizhi sneered and said, "Isn't there less of a festival between you and me?" I'm going to do it today, and you're forcing me to! I know that you have ascended to the throne of the crown prince, and I have no way to live, so I might as well give it a go! ”
"Alas!" He Tianxing didn't deny it, but couldn't help but sigh.
"If you want to kill, you have to listen to it! Don't put on this pose in front of me, it's disgusting! "The Way of Ho Qi.
A ray of blood swept through, He Qizhi was powerless and fell to the ground, and the eldest prince knew that his third brother could not stay.
The emperor in the high position couldn't help but sigh, but he also knew that his third son could not be left.
The feelings of the emperor's family are very fragile, and for a position, they can face each other with swords.
Du Nanzi's figure was revealed, standing beside He Tianxing.
"Nanzi, this is the beginning of the troubled times you said?" He Tianxing asked coldly.
"Exactly!" He replied.
"If you already knew, why didn't you tell me sooner?" He Tianxing's voice became even colder.
"Your Highness, the mutiny of the three princes is a major event, and such a major event needs to meet certain conditions, I told you that something would happen early this morning, but I didn't expect it to be the third prince." Du Nanzi showed deep regret.
However, this is just what he pretended, he had already calculated the arrival of the troubled times, and even after a few months, even more terrifying things would happen.
That's when the real troubled times will begin!
The mutiny of the Three Princes was not a big deal for his calculation ability.
The conditions have been reached a long time ago, but he doesn't want to say it, because if he does, he will be stifled in advance, and there will be no cracks in the Great Xia Empire, and there will be no chaos in the future.
What he wants is real troubled times, not the kind of cracks that can be easily repaired.
