One of the main halls of the Imperial Palace, inside the Vertical Arch Palace

All the ministers in the court were shocked by the words of the imperial doctor, they didn't expect that someone would be so bold and even dare to say these words, if these are true, then I am afraid that it really pierced the sky, and the saint did not know what kind of anger it would become.

For a while, there was no other voice in this hall except for the voice of the imperial doctor, and all the ministers were silent, not knowing what to say, only the prince and the officials of the prince's line turned blue and wanted to refute.

But being glared at by the saint above, he suddenly didn't dare to be this bird, so he could only be silent.

"If there is evidence, if there is evidence, it will be presented!"

Although Emperor Jianxi's voice could not hear any joy or anger, everyone knew that he must be angry at this time, just yesterday, Hubu Shangshu also argued with Emperor Jianxi for a long time for one million taels of disaster relief silver, and now he heard that his second son privately sold illicit salt and made a profit of more than 50 million.

How can you not get angry?

"Back to the Holy Heavens, there is evidence.

Although the prince is not mentioned in them, all the participants are under the prince's disciples, and if they hide from the prince, they swallowed 50 million taels of silver without the prince.

I believe that none of the ministers present here believe it. ”

As he spoke, the Imperial Doctor took out a general ledger and a few letters involving the people of the Prince's Sect from his sleeve and handed them to the chief eunuch.

And that's certainly not all.

Just the most important part.

But it's enough to have this part.

Next is the time for Emperor Jianxi to check the account books and letters, and most of the ministers below look at each other, or they are happy and eager to try, or they are nervous, and they shake their heads worriedly.

Some officials who have ghosts in their hearts and have also written letters are even more frightened at this time with cold sweat on their backs, and one of them even fainted in fright.

On the spot, he was put out for the crime of dereliction in front of the emperor and dragged to the side hall not far away.

"Come, Dali Temple thorough investigation, all the people involved in the letter are seized, the prince is grounded, where is Dali Temple, this case must be carefully investigated, give Shang Fang the sword, but anyone who obstructs the investigation of the case, can be cut first, and the royal family can be killed without order.

Retreat! ”

Emperor Jianxi didn't give the prince a chance to argue at all, and he didn't even look at the prince when he left, so he waved his sleeves and left.

At this moment, all the ministers know that the prince has touched the emperor's scales, if the prince is honestly a prince, a prince, and a father and son live a filial life, then the saint is naturally willing to pamper him and show his kindness. But now, everything he does shows that he covets the throne, which no one who is on the throne wants to see.

After retiring from the court, the eldest prince's lineage, and other vassal ministers under the prince's sect who competed with the prince were all happy, and next, they were afraid that they would prepare more impeachment twists and turns, and if they didn't take advantage of this opportunity to completely kill the prince, then where could they find other opportunities, naturally they couldn't let it go.

However, everyone miscalculated.

At the moment when the ministers stayed up all night to write the impeachment memorabilia and interrogate the officials of the Dali Temple, the prince brazenly launched a coup d'état, leading 8,000 imperial forest troops and more than 5,000 private soldiers to surround the imperial city.

began to force the palace to usurp the throne.

Of course, in addition to sending troops to surround the palace, the princely mansions of the other princes did not let go, and all the adult princes who left the palace, except for the six princes, the princely mansions of the other princes were all surrounded by the prince's rebel army, and began to shoot arrows to strangle the prince.

For a time, the capital was in chaos.

Some ministers hurriedly hid, some ministers hurriedly tried to escape, and some ministers hurriedly began to contact some military generals, wanting to move them to save the king, or obey the dragon's work.

In the palace purple palace

Emperor Jianxi had already planned to go to bed to rest, but then he heard the sound of shouting and killing outside, and got the reply of the great eunuch.

Listening to the voices outside, he let out a long sigh and said, "After all, there is still a disappointment to my hopes."

Take my tiger talisman and send troops.

Leave some more men to protect me. ”

After hearing the order, the secret guard hidden on the side immediately stepped forward to take the tiger talisman, quickly disappeared again, and went out of the palace to find the military general to transfer troops.

After another quarter of an hour, the prince took his sword, killed the guards guarding the door, kicked open the door of the main hall, and broke in, and with him entered, along with the soldiers he had privately cultivated and the leader of the Imperial Forest, a total of several hundred.

Of course, other people are fine, mainly because the area of this hall is here, if there are too many people, it is not only crowded, but also easy to be injured by mistake.

What's more, the current crown prince is complacent, and at the same time, he doesn't think that his father will be prepared in advance, so he naturally thinks that a few hundred people are enough to force the palace to ascend the throne.

"Rebel, you are so bold!

Don't you still want to kill your father and usurp the throne? ”

In the main hall, Emperor Jianxi was standing at the top of the main hall with his sword raised, and asked with an angry face.

"Father, you want my life, how can I sit still, if you want to blame you, blame the imperial doctor who stabbed this out, no, you don't need to blame, after I ascend the throne, I will naturally break his body into thousands of pieces, chop him up and feed it to the dogs.

Father, whether you write the abdication edict yourself now, or I will write it for you, you must know that whether you write it or not, there will be an abdication edict.

If you write it, I don't want to take the name of killing your father, just like Li Shimin, the king of Qin, let you be the emperor with peace of mind, but if you don't write it, then you can only be unlucky, and you were killed by a small soldier by mistake. ”

Although the prince was smiling at this time, with the bloody sword in his hand, as well as the blood splashed on his face and clothes, it was still quite terrifying at first glance, and he had the illusion of a perverted murderer.

As he spoke, the generals and soldiers beside him had already drawn their swords or drawn their swords.

"What a son you are!

Do you really think I can't help you?

If you give up now and retire, I can spare your life, but if you are still stubborn and rebellious, then don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Although Emperor Jianxi was a little disappointed, this was the child he had personally raised for more than ten years.

I really don't want to just give up.

However, the crown prince now feels that the throne is within reach, how can he give it up, after listening to Emperor Jianxi's words, he immediately waved his hand and signaled the soldiers and generals behind him to start moving.

Emperor Jianxi also hurriedly waved his hand to signal those secret guards hidden in his main hall to make a move.

However, although those secret guards were all elites, they were limited in number, and they really couldn't stand being besieged by hundreds, and hundreds of soldiers with endless energy sources, and they only lasted less than half an hour, and they were either dead or disabled, and almost none of them could stand up, and the situation suddenly became critical.

In the next moment, the prince's sword had already swung towards Emperor Jianxi, even Emperor Jianxi, who had always been very sure, couldn't help but constrict his pupils at this time, at this time, the big eunuch on the side stood up and helped block it with his neck, saving Emperor Jianxi.
