Chapter 214: The Emperor Dies!
When the generals of the army saw that Chu Junyue was being taken hostage, they were even more angry!
The regent can have today, it is all in exchange for flesh and blood, and the emperor has been afraid of it for a long time. But I never thought that the emperor would imprison the regent when the regent's body was still cold!
"Your Majesty! You seem to have gone too far! The Lord Regent has performed great deeds, how can you treat him like this!" said one of the generals unconvinced.
The corner of the emperor's mouth was still spitting out the blood, which looked weird and gloomy in the night, and he himself took a long sword against Chu Junyue's neck, roaring and threatening: "That's all because you forced me! This world is mine, not the regent's, you, as a Great Yan soldier, didn't obey the king's orders to force the palace! Do you still have me in your eyes?!"
He swept his cold eyes, gritted his teeth, and continued: "You still have a chance now, as long as you put down the weapons in your hands and go out of the palace, I will act as if nothing has happened!"
"Your Majesty, do you think we dare to believe you?" the other general sneered, his tone full of distrust, "The regent's outstanding merits have fallen to such an end, let alone us?
As soon as the words fell, the dense army also roared, "Your Majesty, please let the regent out of the palace!"
The sound resounded through the sky, and the palace almost trembled.
The emperor's whole person was trembling, and the hand holding the sword was also trembling, and in a fit of anger, he slashed Chu Junyue's neck, "You can't retreat! If you don't retreat, you will collect his body later!"
Chu Junyue's neck was cut open by him, and blood gushed out in an instant, but he didn't say a word, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened.
When everyone saw it, their eyes turned red with anger, and they roared, "Don't hurt the regent!"
"Then you get out!" said the Emperor angrily.
Everyone hesitated, the army rushed in, and no one was saved, so could they just retreat in disgrace?
But if you don't leave, the regent's life is not guaranteed, and the gain outweighs the loss!
The emperor looked at the hesitant attitude of everyone, and the corners of his mouth pulled into a smug smile, he thought that he had succeeded!
As long as these rebels are willing to retreat, and then he will order the troops stationed on the outskirts of Beijing to attack from the outside, these rebels will be defeated!
He played his wishful thinking well, and for a while he didn't pay attention to the people around him, and he didn't notice that the prince had slowly leaned over.
"Father, please forgive your son for being unfilial!"
The prince suddenly shouted, and the emperor was stunned suspiciously, looked sideways, and happened to see the prince's figure flashing like lightning, slamming into him and pushing Chu Junyue out.
The general on the opposite side immediately flew forward, caught Chu Junyue, and brought him back to his camp.
The emperor's eyes widened, and he saw Chu Junyue return to the ranks of the army, and suddenly a stream of blood rushed to his head, his body shook, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out with a pop.
"Your Majesty!" Chen Gonggong quickly stepped forward to support his crumbling body, with a worried expression.
The emperor clutched his chest, his eyes widened, he stared down at the prince in shock and disbelief, and gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from his back molars, "Why?!"
The prince's face was calm and calm, he couldn't see any emotion, and his tone was also light, "Erchen is just making the right choice according to the situation, father, you are wrong because you shouldn't be against the emperor's uncle." β
Shouldn't have killed Ke'er......
But the latter sentence, he can only be buried in the bottom of his heart, forever a secret.
"You rebel!" the emperor was so angry that he spit out another mouthful of blood, he trembled his fingers and wanted to pinch the prince's neck, the prince sneered disdainfully, and took a step back gently, the emperor pounced, and Gonggong Chen didn't have time to support him, so he hit the corner of the wall straight, and then snorted, and fell softly.
"Your Majesty!" Gonggong Chen was so frightened that his face changed, and he wanted to help the emperor up, but the prince stretched out an arm coldly, and did not look at the emperor indifferently, and said: "Your Majesty has died, father-in-law go and report it!"
Gonggong Chen's eyes were red, he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, nodded, and let out a long song at the top of his throat-
"Your Majesty is deadβ"
His shrill voice pierced the cold night, and it was clear and high-pitched, and he walked all the way, all the way, from the palace to the outside of the palace......
And the emperor at that time fell in a pool of blood, hanging a faint breath, struggling in pain, struggling, but never able to stand up again, unwillingly staring at his eyes and losing his breath.
At the last moment of his life, he clearly saw Chu Junyue smiling at him.
"You lost, completely. β
No matter how unwilling he is, it is already a thing of the past, and he has no chance to live again.
If he could, he hoped that he would not be reborn in the emperor's family, let alone become an enemy of Chu Junyue.
When the army retreated, the prince stopped Chu Junyue, who was about to leave, Chu Junyue turned sideways and glanced at him indifferently, "What else is the matter with the prince?"
"Uncle Huang. The crown prince made a big salute respectfully, looked at his face cautiously, and then considered: "My father has died, this ......"
He knew that he was not Chu Junyue's opponent, so he naturally didn't dare to think about the throne, so he wanted to ask how the throne should be.
Clinker Chu Junyue just glanced at him lightly, and said indifferently: "Since Your Majesty has died, and the crown prince is the prince, it is time to prepare for the enthronement." β
"Uncle Huang!" the crown prince looked stunned, as if he couldn't believe that he had given up the throne like this.
"Do you still want to give the abolished second prince a failure?" Chu Junyue snorted unhappily, and his tone was already impatient.
The crown prince showed joy and bowed deeply, "Nephew thanked Uncle Huang!"
He never thought that this throne would come so easily! He thought that the imperial uncle came for this position, but he didn't expect it to fall into his hands in the end! It seems that he is on the right side!
But he also knew that this position was just given to him by Chu Junyue, and the master of this country was still Chu Junyue's, and he was just a puppet.
But it's better to be a puppet than to be killed, isn't it?
He has this self-knowledge, and he doesn't dare to expect too much!
"Uncle Huang, the military power is still for you......." He straightened up and was about to say something, but when he looked up, his eyes were already empty, and Chu Junyue didn't know when he had left.
The prince stared and slowly pursed his lips.

A powerful siege of the palace was finally won by Chu Junyue's quiet planning.
Outsiders don't know, they all say that this is a rebellion made by Chu Junyue's old subordinates to save him, but how can the person in the middle not know that this is Chu Junyue's most clever place?
He didn't have to do anything on the charge of usurping power, just honestly handed over the military power to clear up the relationship, and then honestly put the emperor under house arrest, perfectly playing the role of a victim.
He didn't have to do anything, as long as he stayed in the palace, his old subordinates and people would spontaneously hold grievances for him.
The emperor stupidly fell into his trap without knowing it, and in the end he was betrayed by his own son, losing his life and the throne.
Of course, that's all things that a wise man can see, and most people only see the surface.
When Princess Ningle received the news, the emperor had already been put into the coffin, and she was stunned for a long time, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"Xia'er, this palace didn't hear me wrong, right? Your Majesty really died?"
Xia Er nodded, "Yes, it has already been retracted into the coffin overnight." β
He ...... He's too powerful......" Princess Ningle looked in a trance, as if she couldn't accept this fact, she had already made plans.
She thought that as long as Chu Junyue was still in the palace, then she could take this opportunity to exchange with the emperor-
She used the power of Dongtang to force the emperor to release her, but Chu Junyue wanted to go back to Dongtang with her!
For the emperor, this condition is equivalent to getting rid of Chu Junyue, a thorn in his side, why not? And she herself got her wish!
But who knew that before her plan could be launched, the Emperor was already dead!
And she can only marry Chu Yuxuan!
Thinking of this, Princess Ning Le shuddered, turned around and ran towards the dormitory, Xia Er looked confused, "Princess, where are you going!"
"While the palace is still chaotic, let's leave overnight!"
"Ahh
The master and servant cleaned up some of the softness, and walked reverently against the corner of the wall, but before they reached the gate of Princess Ningle's palace, someone blocked the door.
"Princess Ningle takes the order!"
Princess Ning Le looked up, and her face turned white in an instant, "No, ......"
The person who delivered the decree stood up straight without squinting, word by word, and said sonorously: "The new emperor has a will, thinking that Princess Ningle and Chu Yuxuan are in love, and now, I order you two to get married in three days!
Get married in three days?!
Princess Ningle shook her body, and sat down on the cold ground weakly, tears couldn't stop falling, she shook her head, and couldn't stop muttering, "Don't......! How can this be......"
She is the most noble princess in Dongtang, how can she marry that faceless waste prince?!
And it's still within three days! This is revenge on her!
"I want to see the Regent!" she slammed to her feet, screaming and running out, but before she could reach the door, she was pushed back.
"Stay well before the princess gets married!"
With a bang, the palace door slammed shut!
Princess Ning Le shook and fell into the ice and snow......

Ning Ke waited in the small courtyard in the bamboo forest for a day and a night, without waiting for Chu Junyue to appear, she also heard the news of his house arrest, but she had not yet heard of the emperor's death.
She waited a little anxiously, and after a few laps back and forth, she decided to go into the city to see what was going on.
"Apprentice, where are you going? You can't be trying to save the regent, right?" Old man Hu stopped her at the door, there was no way, this courtyard could not be entered, and a large group of people could only camp at the door.
Ning Ke snorted, bypassed him, and continued to move forward, a few people suddenly appeared in front of her, and she glanced at it, it was the few foreigners that Old Man Hu brought to pick her up that day.
On this day, these people were also here, and every time they saw her, they would show a strange expression, as if they had seen something lost and regained, with joy, pity, and some worries about gains and losses.
She asked Old Man Hu about the identities of these people, but Old Man Hu smiled and said that when Chu Jun was safer, she would know.
"Guys, get out of the way. At the moment, she didn't have the heart to guess the identities of these people, so she coldly dropped a sentence and wanted to break out.
The men stood motionless, she couldn't push, she couldn't knock open, it was as if she had encountered a wall.
"Are you trying to put me under house arrest? Get out of the way!" Ning Ke was a little annoyed, even if it was Old Man Hu's people, they couldn't stop her from going to Chu Junyue!
Those people were quite respectful and kind, but they just didn't move. Ning Ke almost jumped off the wall in a hurry, and was worried about how to get out, when there was the sound of clattering horses' hooves in the distance of the bamboo forest, as well as Chun Yuyan's trademark loud voice.
"Chu Junyue's old fox is fine! The emperor is dead, and the crown prince is about to succeed to the throne!"
When Ning Ke heard this, she couldn't help but show a relieved smile on her face, he was fine!
She stepped forward again, wanting to ask Chun Yuyan for specific details, but those people suddenly stopped her, glanced at Old Man Hu, dispersed, and soon drove the carriage again.
"What ...... are you?" Ning Ke was strange, thinking that they were leaving, but who didn't know that Old Man Hu suddenly pulled her and dragged her to the carriage.
"Little apprentice, the regent is fine, you can rest assured!
