Chapter 254: Disarm or Kill
Although Emperor Sheng was angry for a while, he felt that he was not very confident.
His heirs are thin, only three sons and one daughter, the eldest son and the second son do not hesitate to force the palace to rebel in order to compete for the throne, and the younger son is mentally incomplete, and the three are not qualified to inherit the throne.
Could it be that he could only choose an heir from the clan and pass on the throne to the side bloodline?
Of course he didn't want to, but in a moment of anger and a moment of worry, he almost fainted again.
The queen hurriedly stroked Emperor Sheng's back and said with relief: "Holy Lord, you have just woken up, your body is weak, don't be angry. ”
"Daddy, don't be angry!"
Xiao Ming also learned from the queen, stretched out his hand and patted Emperor Sheng, and said in a crisp voice.
Concubine Yun hurriedly corrected: "Ming'er, why did you forget again, you should call your father." ”
Xiao Ming's delicate eyebrows and eyes were squeezed together, and he didn't understand why he couldn't call his father father, but called his father.
Emperor Sheng looked at Xiao Ming's tangled appearance, a little funny.
He is obsessed with fine wine and beautiful women, and he does not have too much love for children.
After Xiao Yu and Xiao Zun were born, they were both raised by the queen and the palace concubine, and he teased a few times when he thought about it occasionally, but most of the time he didn't care.
They were well-behaved and polite at a young age, and no one had ever called him daddy, and no one had ever looked at him with such admiring eyes.
Their eyes were only filled with awe, but now they had turned to covetousness and greed.
Emperor Sheng didn't think much of it before, but now that he is older, he has begun to yearn for the love of father and son.
Especially when those two unfilial sons were so rebellious, he looked at Xiao Ming very pleasing to the eye, and said with a tolerant and loving smile: "It's okay, you can call it whatever you like, and your father likes it." ”
Xiao Ming immediately became happy, and his father helped him solve a problem, so he happily called: "Daddy! ”
There were still a few courtiers in the Chengqian Palace, and when they saw this scene, they couldn't help but sigh.
The three princes are simple-hearted, good and filial, if only their minds were sound.
Emperor Sheng looked at Xiao Ming's clear eyes without a trace of impurities, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and suddenly felt that it was not a problem for his mind to be incomplete.
He waved his hand and said, "Come on, I want to draft a decree to change the three princes as the crown prince!" ”
As soon as Emperor Sheng said this, everyone in the hall was stunned.
Queen: "......"
Concubine Yun: "??? ”
Queen Mother: "!! ”
Courtier: "@#¥%&*......"
It was Concubine Yun who reacted first, and euphemistically objected: "Holy three thoughts, it may be difficult for Ming'er to take on this great responsibility." ”
Even if Xiao Ming is in good mind, Concubine Yun is unwilling to let him get involved in these disputes, she only hopes that he can live a simple and happy life.
Emperor Sheng waved his hand and said: "The concubine doesn't have to worry, the underworld is simple, it's just that she was a child and no one taught her." There are so many capable ministers in the court to teach and assist, and I believe that in time, he will be able to become a great weapon. Besides, my son, what can't I afford? ”
Emperor Sheng said so, and Concubine Yun couldn't say anything more.
In fact, Emperor Sheng had already thought about how to solve this matter.
Although Xiao Ming's brain is not enough, his health is good, so he can find a daughter-in-law and have another son to take over.
Anyway, he would never pass on the throne to the collateral bloodline, nor would he pass it on to those two unfilial sons, so Xiao Ming was the only choice.
The more Emperor Sheng thought about it, the more he felt witty, looked at the courtiers, and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Han Xiang thought for a while, and then said: "The minister thinks that what the saint said is very true. ”
What Emperor Sheng could think of, Han Xiang and other ministers naturally thought of it.
Together, they decided it was possible.
Although Xiao Ming is mentally incomplete, he is not stupid and crazy, but he is just as wise as a child.
Throughout history, there are not a few young sons of heaven, and they have the right to treat Xiao Ming as the young emperor, and they can assist them.
After a few years, they will teach the imperial grandson, and when the imperial grandson grows up, everything will be on the right track.
Xiao Yu, who was still confronting Wen Rongan outside the palace, didn't know that his dream of imperial power had been shattered.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Prince Gong has broken through the gate of the outer palace and is coming to the inner palace!"
"What?!"
Xiao Yu was flustered for a while, and immediately said to the commander: "Quick, quickly guard the inner palace gate, and you must not let Xiao Zun come in!" ”
The commander said in a low voice: "Your Highness, Prince Gong is menacing, I'm afraid that our people can't resist it, so it's better to retreat first and then make plans." ”
Xiao Zun led the city defense battalion, and the number of people was nearly twice as large as that of Yu Linwei, and now that Yu Linwei was divided into two groups, how could he be able to defeat the city defense battalion.
Xiao Yu listened to the commander's suggestion and suddenly became enlightened.
Xiao Zun entered the palace this time, even if he saw that Emperor Sheng had woken up, he must have had to send an arrow, so he could only kill the monarch and usurp the throne.
He left for the time being, went to the garrison camp to move the rescue troops, and then killed him in the name of exterminating the rebel party, not only the division is famous, but also can ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Xiao Yu nodded, and the commander led a group of people to escort him away.
Wen Rong'an's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he raised his voice: "Brothers of Yu Linwei, now that the city defense camp has been under the command of Prince Gong, the city gates must be blocked, can you get out?" Even if you can get out of the city, will you be able to come back? If you leave, what will happen to your family? Guarding the palace and guarding the saint is the duty of our Yulin Guard, and this is our battlefield! I hope that you can stay, shoulder the responsibility on your shoulders, fight Prince Gong's rebels together, and don't become deserters and disgrace your family and relatives because of you! ”
Wen Rongan's voice was not hurried, but it was loud.
Sure enough, when many people heard this, they were aroused, and they involuntarily stopped and hesitated.
Xiao Yu saw that everyone was moved, and he jumped to his feet in anger: "This palace is the prince, and he is the prince who obeys the mandate of heaven!" As long as you escort the palace to the garrison camp, and wait for the palace to lead the troops to destroy the rebels and ascend to the throne, you are all the founding heroes! ”
It's a pity that before Xiao Yu's words fell, he was interrupted by the sharp voice of the inner attendant: "There is a decree in the saint, the eldest prince conspires against him, deposes the crown prince, and replaces the third prince as the crown prince!" ”
Xiao Yu's face turned pale, and he shook his head again and again: "Impossible!" How could my father make that fool the crown prince? You are so bold that you dare to falsely proclaim the Holy Decree! ”
Wen Rong'an saw the opportunity, and when everyone was caught off guard by this sudden holy decree and was in a daze, he quickly passed through the encirclement and captured Xiao Yu.
The commander already saw that Wen Rong'an was not pleasing to his eyes, and when he saw that he dared to send him to the door to find death, he even gave him a dead hand.
Wen Rongan wanted to restrain Xiao Yu, and he didn't have time to guard against the commander's killing moves.
Seeing that the commander was about to stab Wen Rong'an with a sword, he was suddenly attacked from behind, and then he was tied up by Wuhuada.
The Commander turned around and gave an incredulous expression: "You ......"
The anti-water Yu Linwei lowered his head and said apologetically: "My lord, I'm sorry." ”
Xiao Yu is no longer the prince, and he was captured by Wen Rong'an, if they don't hurry up and surrender to the party, I am afraid that they will be classified as traitors.
Xiao Yu and the commander were escorted down, and Yu Linwei was regrouped.
Wen Rong'an was ordered to become the new commander of Yulinwei, and he had full command and deployment of all the guards in the palace.
Wen Rongan once led troops to fight in Bac Ninh, so it was naturally easy to arrange troops.
Although the city defense battalion has a large number of people and has broken through the outer palace gate, there is also an inner palace gate in the palace, which is impregnable, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he is confident that he can defend it.
Although Xiao Zun was diligent in martial arts and had also experienced the rebellion of King Yongning, he had always been in the rear and had never been on the real battlefield.
He took thousands of soldiers to attack an outer palace gate without preparation in the palace, and it took him more than half a day.
When they arrived at the inner palace gate, they were even more stagnant.
The besieging soldiers climbed up ladders and were pushed down by the soldiers on the walls with long sticks, so they grabbed the sticks and tried to pull the soldiers down from above.
As a result, the two sides pushed me to pull up the river, it was like a joke, and Xiao Zun was almost angry.
But this can't be blamed on the soldiers, they were originally guarding the city, and they were guarding the capital, the capital is the most peaceful, they are used to it, where do they have actual combat experience.
Moreover, they are still facing their former colleagues, who can really kill them.
Xiao Zun finally couldn't help it, his angry forehead was bruised, and he called Mu Changfeng and said: "Mu Changfeng, don't forget, your mother is still in the hands of this king, you give this king a serious time!" ”
Mu Changfeng was depressed in his heart, but he was constrained, so he could only hold back the anger in his heart for the time being, and said angrily: "Anyway, I have such great ability, so according to the prince's opinion, what should I do?" ”
Xiao Zun's eyes were gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Pour oil, burn with fire!" ”
Mu Changfeng rolled his eyes, and called a team of people to carry the oil drums.
One of them asked, "Little General, do we really want to burn down the palace gate?" His younger brother is in Yulinwei, and he was on the city wall just now! ”
Mu Changfeng glanced at him and said with disgust: "Are you stupid, he said to pour oil?" You're not going to mix a bucket of water or soup or anything in there? ”
The man's eyes lit up immediately: "Hey, my subordinates understand, and my subordinates will do it!" ”
Mu Changfeng slowly commanded the soldiers to move, muttering in his heart.
Wen Rongan asked him to plan and delay time by Xiao Zun's side, but he has been dragging on for a day, when will it end?
No matter how slow Rao is Mu Changfeng's movements were, several barrels of oil sandwiched between the soup and water had already been poured on the palace gate.
Mu Changfeng held the torch and hesitated, even if there was not much oil, it would burn!
Xiao Zun looked at Mu Changfeng's hesitant appearance, snatched the torch from his hand, and threw it directly towards the palace gate.
Mu Changfeng closed his eyes, couldn't bear to look at it, and sighed in his heart.
However, the torch did not ignite the palace gate as scheduled, and an arrow feather burst through the air and nailed the torch to the ground.
Then, an earth-shattering shout of footsteps and horses' hooves rang out, which surrounded everyone's ears and was deafening.
"The Anyang army is here, disarm and don't kill!"
