After that, the eldest prince ascended the throne in the capital and began to try to manage the affairs of the court step by step.

However, the gates of the capital have not been opened for a long time, and the officials in the dark think that the crown prince has also been assassinated, so they all voluntarily support the great prince as the emperor, and the great prince is called Emperor Shangwu.

And the reason why the officials think so is that the eldest prince himself admitted that the prince was assassinated when the prince was in disaster relief.

Next, the eldest prince started a five-day road to eliminate different parties, and all important and inconspicuous officials were replaced by his people.

The officials who were demoted from their official positions were indignant in their hearts, but they had nowhere to vent, after all, among the people who supported the enthronement of the great prince, they also made a contribution.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, he crossed the river and demolished the bridge.

The Marquis of Jingbei was also completely exposed, and when he supported the new emperor, he was extremely attentive, and wherever he went, someone would be dismissed.

At the same time, Emperor Shangwu did not give up assassinating Murong Sheng, and he successively sent five waves of men and horses to kill Murong Sheng.

However, he also received the news of the failed assassination attempt in just a few days.

And today, Murong Sheng finally made peace with the 200,000 army.

The spies who found out about this news naturally reported the news to Emperor Shangwu.

Murong Sheng led the people and camped outside the capital, waiting for the secret guards to inquire about the news in the capital.

When the soldiers on the city wall saw that so many people had gathered less than a hundred feet away from the city gate, they panicked instantly, and ran to the palace to report as if they were flying.

Murong Chen personally asked Murong Sheng for instructions, and he led people into the secret room to sneak back to the palace to find out the news.

Murong Sheng nodded, "Okay, you go with a pair of secret guards, if you encounter danger, return immediately, don't mess around." ”

"Got it, Brother Huang, my father was still in the imperial study when I came out, I don't know how my father is now, if I meet my father, I will definitely take him out."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Murong Chen left with a group of people, but Murong Sheng surrounded the capital but did not appear, and the soldiers guarding the city did not know the army outside, thinking that someone had rebelled.

The officials and people who got the news in the capital were panicked, what the hell was going on this year, and they didn't let people live, and there were complaints everywhere.

After Emperor Shangwu briefly appeased the people, he disguised himself and went to Murong Sheng's military camp.

At this time, Murong Sheng didn't know that the eldest prince had ascended the throne, and he heard a report from the soldiers, saying that the eldest prince asked to see him.

The eldest prince who came to Murong Sheng's military camp, the moment he saw Murong Sheng, his face was depressed, "Fifth Emperor Brother, why did you come back?" ”

Murong Sheng saw that the eldest prince was dressed in filial piety clothes, and his heart was not good, "Brother Huang, why are you dressed like this?" Could it be that something happened in the capital? ”

The eldest prince admitted: "My father died, the second brother rebelled and killed my father with his own hands, my people just got the news, he has also ascended the throne, and the capital at this time is already his people." ”

"My father was killed by my second brother?" Murong Sheng was grief-stricken, he was too late.

"Hmm."

Murong Sheng was sad in his heart, and he just wanted to attack the capital now and take the head of the second prince.

While they were talking, Chen Xiaoxiao came out to find Murong Sheng, she was just about to lift the cloth strip of the camp tent, the eldest prince noticed that someone was coming, and immediately shouted, "Who?!" ”

Chen Xiaoxiao was startled, and the tea in her hand fell to the ground.

Murong Sheng saw the corner of the skirt underneath and knew that it was Chen Xiaoxiao, so he strode out and held Chen Xiaoxiao up.

"Are you alright? Why don't you let people report if you want to come over, you're scared? Is there anything you feel uncomfortable with? ”

Murong Sheng asked questions again and again, and he couldn't stop worrying in his heart, for fear that Chen Xiaoxiao would be scared.

"It's okay, Your Highness don't worry." Chen Xiaoxiao was fine, but the corner of her skirt was splashed.

The eldest prince's eyes fell on Chen Xiaoxiao's body, he glanced at Chen Xiaoxiao's slightly curved belly, and apologized: "I don't know it's my brother and sister, this king was too sensitive just now, I hope my brother and sister don't blame this king." ”

Chen Xiaoxiao felt the gaze of the eldest prince, he was very uncomfortable, but he did not show fear, but said generously: "I have seen the imperial brother!" ”

"Brother and sister, this is ...... Pregnant? The Great Lord asked.

Murong Sheng protected Chen Xiaoxiao behind him and said, "Yes, it's been three or four months, and there will be after that time." ”

He was in no mood to speak, so he only explained briefly.

"That time?"

The eldest prince remembered what he heard, and said, "I see, but this is also a happy event, congratulations to the fifth emperor brother." ”

Although he is in the imperial mausoleum, he will pay attention to the news in the capital, and of course he also knows that Concubine Liu designed his fifth brother.

"Thank you, Brother Huang."

Murong Sheng said, taking Chen Xiaoxiao inside, and his careful movements made the eldest prince laugh.

"I didn't expect that the fifth brother would be different when he had a child, and he knew that he loved his daughter-in-law." The eldest prince smiled.

After Murong Sheng settled Chen Xiaoxiao, he blocked in front of Chen Xiaoxiao and said to the eldest prince: "What is the form of the capital now?" ”

He didn't have time to grieve, and now he just wanted to avenge his father by washing the capital in blood.

Seeing that Murong Sheng's eyes were red, the eldest prince restrained his thoughts about joking, and said: "This is the only information that this king knows, after all, this king in the capital can't enter, and the spies only gave this king this news." ”

He then persuaded: "Don't be impulsive, now that the situation is unclear, it will be difficult for us to attack it, so it is better to discuss countermeasures first." ”

"Hmm."

Seeing Murong Sheng's pale face, the eldest prince said again: "The second brother said in the capital that you have been assassinated, but I didn't expect you to be alive, it's really good that you are still alive!" ”

He hugged Murong Sheng and patted Murong Sheng's back, his hand was separated by armor, he didn't use much strength.

"This king came from the imperial tomb and saw the banner of your military camp, so he knew that you had returned."

Murong Sheng's eyes darkened slightly, "He did send a lot of killers to assassinate Gu, but unfortunately it didn't succeed." ”

The eldest prince sighed and asked, "How many people?" Are you hurt? ”

He let go of Murong Sheng and looked him up and down.

"Small injury, don't get in the way, did you come alone?"

The eldest prince made a relieved appearance and said: "It's good that you are not injured, this king has brought more than a dozen people this time, and he can't enter the capital, and there are no military talismans, so don't blame this king for having few people." ”

"How so!"

"It's good not to blame, it's good not to blame."

Seeing that Murong Sheng had no desire to talk, the eldest prince had no choice but to say, "Then the king will go somewhere else first, you can rest well, and give your younger siblings a good rest." ”

Murong Sheng heard him say this, nodded and said, "Okay, let Gu people prepare a camp for you." ”

"Someone!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Take the prince down to rest."

"Yes, the prince and his subordinates!"

When the eldest prince went out, he suddenly remembered Xian Guifei, so he turned around and came back and asked, "Fifth brother, have you ever met Xian Guifei Niangniang?" She disappeared in the palace before, and the second brother has been looking for Niangniang and the seventh brother. ”

Murong Sheng replied, "In the barracks." ”

The eldest prince said thoughtfully: "Then the king should go and say hello to Concubine Xian, and by the way, tell the mother about it." ”

Murong Sheng was afraid of irritating his mother, so he refused: "No, I will tell my mother about this matter in person." ”
