When the prime minister Liu Quyu couldn't bear it. Originally, he wanted to unite with Jiang Chong to get rid of the prince first, and then get rid of Jiang Chong by abusing witch Gu, and cooperate with Li Guangli, the general of the second division, to make Liu Ji, the king of Changyi, the prince, the prince, but now that Jiang Chong is dead, he must take this opportunity to act. After some thought, he summoned Changshi and said: "Now that the prince is raising troops, what do you think?" ”

Changshi didn't know what Liu Quyu meant, and said: "As far as I know, the prince did not raise troops, but only strengthened the guards in the palace, probably because he was afraid of Jiang Chongyu's party." ”

"Confused!" Liu Quyu reprimanded: "The crown prince summoned and killed Jiang Chong, it was a leak of witch Gu, and now he is raising troops again, he must not do anything and do nothing, and he wants to replace the emperor." You hurry up to Ganquan Palace to play the emperor, and say that the prince raised an army, and his intention is like rebellion. ”

"This ...... For such an important matter, Prime Minister, do you want to meet the Holy Lord in person? Changshi didn't dare to offend Liu Quyu, and his voice lowered.

"Huh? Don't you like what the prime minister said? Liu Quyu was a little angry, "This minister has his own arrangement, you can do what I say, when you face the saint, you will say that Liu Quyu heard that the prince rebelled, and he didn't know how to deal with it, and he was afraid that there would be too much trouble, so he sent me to report to His Majesty first." Also, ask people to quietly guard the galloping road through Ganquan Palace, and as long as they come out of the palace, they will be arrested. Got it? ”

Liu Quyu's words were very harsh, and he was scared of the two sides of the long history, so he had to quit resignedly.

Su and Zhang didn't care about eating and drinking, ran all the way, and arrived at Ganquan Palace the next day, after the two faced the saint, they added oil and vinegar to the emperor, telling that the prince's palace dug up a number of rebellious witch things, afraid that the matter would be exposed, and he also ordered to kill them, not only that, but the prince also sent a large number of soldiers, intending to rebel.

Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, in the eyes of the emperor, the prince has always been weak and kind, and this time he didn't really want to abolish the prince, but he just wanted to fake Jiang Chong's hand and cut the prince's wings, and forgive the prince and didn't dare to do anything rebellious, the world is his world after all. After listening to their statements, the emperor muttered: "The prince must have made this decision because he dug up the puppet and was afraid in his heart. In this way, Bao Ren, you go to spread the word to the prince, the puppet matter and the summoning matter are all caused by Jiang Chong, and everything will not break the father and son, and these things will not be investigated. Hurry up! ”

Su and Zhang panicked, in this case, wouldn't it be exposed to framing the prince? Fortunately, Su Wen has always had a friendship with Bao Ren, and this Bao Ren was also reprimanded by the prince for secretly accepting "notification money". After they all retreated, Su Wen secretly communicated with Bao Ren, presented a large sum of gold, and taught him to do so and so, and this Bao Ren was also happy not to have to travel and travel.

The next day, Bao Ren met the emperor in person, saying that the prince had rebelled, the arsenal was wide open, and the whole city was heavily guarded, and he also heard rumors in the city that the emperor might have died in the sky, and the surname Liu was not protected in the world, and he had to support the prince as the emperor. When Liu Che heard this, he was really furious, and he coughed for a while before he recovered. "Rebel...... Rebel ......" Liu Che said weakly with a sallow face, holding his chest.

At this time, Prime Minister Zuo Changshi was anxious to see him, saying that the prince opened his arsenal and sent all palaces and prisons to strictly guard the city gates, as if he wanted to establish himself as the emperor. Liu Che listened, only to feel dizzy, a mouthful of blood gushing out of his mouth, he didn't expect that the prince who had always been cowardly had really rebelled, his heart was extremely angry, and extremely sad, he fell on the dragon collapse at once, and he was so frightened that he stepped forward to serve in a hurry. About a moment later, the emperor slowly recovered, and when he saw that Changshi was still kneeling on the ground, he slowly asked, "Where is Liu Quyu?" ”

Changshi was afraid of revealing his stuffing, and became more and more nervous in front of the emperor, his sweat had already soaked his underwear, and he held back enough strength before he made a sound: "Return, go back to Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zuo, he, he is afraid of making the family affairs of the Son of Heaven public, so he doesn't dare to act rashly, and asks Weichen to come first to ask for a decree." ”

The emperor sat up slowly, smiled contemptuously: "Everyone in the world knows that the prince is rebelling, and he is still afraid of the spread of family scandals?" Ask for a small matter, ask for a big thing, ask for a delay in a matter, ask for an urgent matter, what do you want to eat? In the past, Zhou Gongdan pacified the rebellion of the three prisons, killed Uncle Guan, expelled Uncle Cai, and punished Wu Geng, so that there was a great rule of "not using the punishment for 40 years", didn't Prime Minister Zuo understand this? The emperor gritted his teeth and said the last sentence, and Changshi was so frightened that he shouted, "Your Majesty is angry."

"Spread my message, send all the soldiers of the three auxiliaries, under the command of Prime Minister Zuo, capture the rebels, kill if they resist arrest, use the ox cart as a shield, do not engage in short soldiers, cherish the lives of the soldiers, and in addition, close the city gate, do not let the rebels draw!" The emperor wanted to add something, but he didn't say it, and only silently recited in his heart, "Don't hurt the prince's life......

Liu Quyu took the edict and asked the Huangmen Baoren who passed the edict: "Has the emperor made it clear that once the prince tries his best to resist, what should he do?" ”

Bao Ren said humbly: "Xianggong, apart from these few sentences, the emperor has no other will, aren't these sentences clear enough?" With that, the evil smiled evilly.

Liu Quyu now has confidence, it seems that after the death of the emperor's self-defense Qing, he was indifferent to the queen, alienated the prince Wei, and mentioned the bad things about the prince many times.

The crown prince couldn't wait for the envoy sent to Ganquan Palace, nor did he wait for the emperor's summons, but waited for Liu Quyu's army and the edict to hunt and kill the rebels on the spot, and suddenly felt a thunderbolt pass through his head, and he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately he was able to hold it left and right. The prince said with a sad face: "The father-son relationship of thirty-seven years has been broken!" And he began to cry as he spoke.

Shi De hurriedly said: "Your Majesty will definitely not issue such an edict, Ganquan Palace must really change, Your Highness, the most important thing now is to quickly recruit troops to protect yourself, Liu Quyu is the person behind Liu Ji, the king of Changyi, this matter is not simple." ”

The crown prince woke up suddenly and said: "Father will never be so ruthless, he must rush out of Chang'an City and cut off the villains around his father!" Prepare the carriage and horses, I want to see the queen mother. ”

In the Changle Palace, Empress Wei also learned that Liu Quyu's army was besieging the city. Hearing that the prince was going to send troops to resist, Empress Wei put down the little emperor's great-grandson in her arms, knelt on the couch and said with a smile: "My son, who said that you are not like the emperor, you killed the traitor Jiang Chong, and sent troops to guard Chang'an City, this sassy and heroic appearance is exactly the same as when the emperor was young!" It's just that this little soldier is still a drop in the bucket to deal with Liu Quyu, and you must now mobilize Changshui and Yiqu Huqi to pardon the prisoners of various official offices in Chang'an, and distribute weapons, we may still have a glimmer of life. As for the Northern Army, if Ren An's old fox can help you, our mother and daughter will definitely not die. ”

"The queen mother, the sons are not filial, and they are in danger of the queen mother." The prince fell on his couch and wept bitterly.

Empress Wei rubbed the prince's head and said: "I don't blame you at all, the things in the palace, either life or death, you can't tell you how you are wronged, only by killing and meeting the emperor can you have a glimmer of life." According to the son, leave the little emperor's great-grandson and her mother here in the past few days, let the sister-in-law follow you, and the sister-in-law remembers, in case there is any danger, you can do nothing, protect the prince's life, stay in the green mountains, and don't be afraid of no firewood. ”

Leaving Weiyang Palace, the prince immediately led Shi De and Zhang Guang to meet the enemy, and according to Empress Wei's words, he pardoned the prisoners of Chang'an, distributed weapons, and joined the army, there were 40,000 people, and for a time, Chang'an was surging.

The emperor expected that Empress Wei was wise, coupled with the young Fu Shide and a group of guests, in case Liu Quyu was defeated, but caused a catastrophe, he drove overnight, returned to Chang'an City West Jianzhang Palace to live, and issued an edict to add Huang Xuan to all the runes, and all the runes without Huang Yang were fraudulent. This trick really worked, the prince sent people to mobilize Changshui, Yiqu Hu Cai, was recognized, Hu Cai turned his head to join Liu Quyu's army, Hu Qi has always been brave and good at fighting, and there is a great Honglu Shang Qiu Cheng according to the emperor's will to convene the water army to help the war, Liu Quyu's confidence has greatly increased.

At this point, the prince had to be hard, in the middle of the city, the two armies were in close arms, axes and swords came out together, bows and crossbows and arrows flew together, and even sticks were used as weapons, and they shouted to kill the heavens in an instant. The people, who had been accustomed to the absence of a big war, suddenly saw the sword light and sword shadow, and they were so frightened that they scattered and fled, and some hid on both sides of the road nearby. Most of the prisoners who received amnesty were involved by relatives and friends, and they did not commit any crimes themselves, so they hated the imperial court deeply, and the prince had always had a benevolent reputation, so although the prince's prisoner armament was not as good as that of well-trained samurai, it was also quite lethal when it rushed left and right. For a time, the sky was colorless, the day was gloomy, the sound of killing, swords, and wails were intertwined, and the remnants of soldiers, dead corpses, and blood stained the ground were all over the place, which made people shudder.

At some point, Hu Qi joined the battle like a black wind, and the situation gradually turned against the prince.

The prince had never seen such a battle, and saw countless innocent suffering, and the son who was lying on the ground, and whose father it was, knew that he had caused a catastrophe, so he was heartbroken, and he had not closed his eyes for two days and two nights, and his eyes were bloodshot. How he wanted to be like when he was a child, hugging his father's leg and saying, "Father, I was wrong." Then the emperor touched his head lovingly and said, "Stinky boy, don't do this in the future, or I will beat your ass." "But I can't, never anymore, it's hard to recover.
