Chapter 127: Rebellion in the Dead of Night
Mu Liancheng stood up, walked to the window and looked at the blue sky outside, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.
In the middle of the night last night, Qin Luo ran back with his injuries and told Feng Qingyan that he had been kidnapped, he didn't need to think about it, and immediately determined that this was Mu Beituo's hand.
So he rushed to the Three Kings' Mansion overnight to ask for someone.
Mu Beituo refused to admit it, Mu Liancheng had no evidence, and he had no choice but to send people around to search for Feng Qing's whereabouts.
But a day and a night have passed, and there is still no news at all.
Big things may break out at any time, and Mu Liancheng must concentrate on dealing with it, I'm afraid that he won't be able to take care of this side at that time.
However, he then thought that since Mu Beituo had just kidnapped Feng Qing wildly, he would not hurt her life for the time being, and he could rest assured a little.
After a big commotion in Mu Liancheng, Jiang Mingche also quickly received the news that Feng Qingfang had been kidnapped, and immediately came to the Three Princes' Mansion to ask for the guilt.
"Third Prince, what do you want to do when you capture Feng Qingmad?"
Mu Beituo smiled slightly, poured the herbal tea, and handed it to him.
"Young Master Jiang, don't be excited, this king is just temporarily locking up Feng Qingmad, and when the big thing is over, he will return her to you safe and sound, come, sit down and drink a cup of tea to extinguish the fire."
Jiang Mingche ignored it, and only asked in a cold voice: "You haven't answered my question yet." β
Mu Beituo sighed and shook his head.
"This phoenix is really a red face and a disaster, a young hero like Young Master Jiang has been eaten to death by her, but you must know that you are not the only one who has a deep-rooted love for this woman in this world, and the same is true for His Royal Highness the Prince."
"This king caught Feng Qingfang, naturally in order to contain the prince and distract him, so that our chances of winning are also greater."
Hearing this, Jiang Mingche looked at Mu Beituo in disbelief and sat down.
"You're really not going to hurt her?" That's all he cares about.
Mu Beituo said in an almost sworn tone: "Of course not, if this king breaks his promise, he will be thundered by the sky!" β
Of course he won't hurt that woman, how can he take revenge in the future if he hurts her?
Jiang Mingche actually knew the grievances between Mu Beituo and Feng Qingma, so he believed that at least for the time being, Feng Qingmad would still be safe.
However, if it was just to contain Mu Liancheng, he would not be naΓ―ve enough to believe it.
"In addition to the crown prince, the prince also wants to contain another person, right?"
The corners of Mu Beituo's mouth curved slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "Since Young Master Jiang can see it thoroughly, then you must remember to do your best to do things for this king, and you must not have different intentions, otherwise if this king is planted, Miss Fengsan must also follow me to the underworld." β
Jiang Mingche clenched his fists silently and said, "Since the prince can't believe it, why should he cooperate again, you should find someone else." β
Then he got up to leave.
"Young Master Jiang doesn't want to know where Feng Qingmad is being held?" Mu Beituo suddenly asked, "Or are you already planning to see her again?" β
"You...... You threaten me? Jiang Mingche was so angry that he wanted to kill him right away.
Mu Beituo laughed coldly: "This king just reminds you, don't betray me, otherwise you won't be able to bear the consequences." β
Jiang Mingche had no other way but to compromise.
Although Mu Beituo is indeed still concerned about Feng Qingfang, this person is perverse and violent, moody, no one knows what he will do, and he can't bet on the safety of frivolity.
"Okay, I'll just listen to you, but you have to remember that if there is a slight mistake in the frivolity, even if I use all the strength of the Sanssouci Gate, I will never let you go!"
"The king remembers." Mu Beituo said this, but he was disdainful in his heart, when he became the emperor, would he still be afraid of the little worry-free door? It's ridiculous!
Time passed, and finally everything was ready, and night fell for the most exciting night.
It's the night moon and the dark wind is high, which is just right for doing unusual things.
When the most prosperous city of the Great Yan Dynasty fell into a complete slumber, the north gate was quietly opened, and the soldiers of the Shangchun Battalion rushed into the city, breaking the silent night.
All but the sound of drums and shouts could be heard, and the people hid in their houses in fear, bolting the doors and not daring to go out.
Because it was night, and the patrol camp had already been controlled, Mu Beituo's people went all the way into a no-man's land, successfully arrived at the palace, and surrounded all the palace gates.
At first, the guards of several palace gates resisted desperately for a while, and then the commander of the forbidden army, Kui Li, ordered the door to be opened, and there were too many enemies and fierce attacks, so they gave up resistance and surrendered.
As a result, Mu Beituo, the third prince, led people to attack the palace and successfully took the entire imperial city.
After the victory, Mu Beituo was very proud and immediately came to the emperor's bedroom.
The commotion was so loud that the emperor, who was recuperating in the dormitory, naturally heard the news, and had already ordered someone to serve and put on clothes, waiting for the arrival of this rebel.
When Mu Beituo strode into the hall, Mu Zun was sitting on the couch, his eyes closed, and he didn't open slowly until he heard footsteps.
"The sons see their father, and their father Wan'an."
"Wan'an?" Mu Zun snorted coldly, "You can't wait for me to die in front of you as soon as possible, right?" β
"What did my father say? Naturally, I hope you will live a long life. Mu Beituo straightened his waist and spoke with great confidence.
"The reason why Erchen led troops into the city today is also to protect his father, and he is definitely not to hurt you."
Mu Zun raised his eyebrows, and his anger intensified.
"Protect me? As the Ninety-Five, I am good here, what do I need you to protect? β
Mu Beituo pretended to be surprised: "The crown prince put his father under house arrest in the palace and isolated you from the outside world, isn't it an intention to rebel?" β
"It's no wonder you don't know, you have been recuperating from your illness, and you can only come into contact with the prince and the palace people who the prince bought every day, so you naturally believe in him."
"That's!"
Mu Zun roared angrily, because he was too emotional, he touched an old wound on his body, and it hurt so much that he couldn't help but gasp.
"Father, the emperor still has to take care of the dragon's body." Mu Beituo said hypocritically.
Mu Zun finally relieved himself, but his speech was even weaker than Fang Cai.
"Do you think that by using the crown prince as a shield and raising troops under the banner of justice, you can get rid of the stigma of rebellion and usurpation?"
"I tell you, the eyes of the officials and the people of the world are bright, they will never be deceived by these illusions, even if you ascend to the throne of God in the future, no matter how many years have passed, you will still be a usurper who has not won the throne properly, and you will only be stinking for ten thousand years!"
Mu Beituo looked directly at Mu Zun, his eyes became colder and colder, and the corners of his mouth still had a smug smile on his lips.
"Even if you can never get rid of the name of usurpation, so what? After all, I am the winner, as long as I have the supreme power in my hands, whether it is the people of the world, or the civil and military officials, who of them dares to disobey? β
"What I pursue is only to grasp the power of life and death, and do whatever I want, but it is not eternal, so I don't care about what my father says."
When a person doesn't even want a face, everything you say to him is in vain, and at this moment Mu Zun understands this truth.
"So, are you going to force me to write a Zen edict? Or let me die? β
Mu Beituoyin replied with a smile: "My father can't help but think of his sons too cold-blooded, you are a father, how can my sons bear to take your life or take your throne?" β
"The son has only one small request, the prince imprisoned his father and intended to rebel, but fortunately, the son noticed it early and turned the tide, the son did not ask for any heavy reward, but hoped that his father could abolish the prince and set up the son as the prince."
Hearing this, Mu Zun laughed slowly.
Who said he was shameless? Isn't this just to justify the succession to the throne in the future?
"Third child, the Great Yan Dynasty has always been the primogeniture inheritance system, you shouldn't be unclear, right?"
Mu Beituo said with a smile: "Of course Erchen knows, but the rules are dead, people are alive, and the old rules of hundreds of years have been passed down to the present, and they should be changed, as long as you write an edict, this matter can be done, it is very simple." β
Mu Zun snorted coldly and said, "You can dream of it, it is impossible for me to write." β
The tone was firm.
"Doesn't my father want to live a little longer?" Mu Beituo asked coldly, "There is also the prince, the prince's mansion has been surrounded, he is now under my control, and I can kill him at any time." β
"If my father insists on the primogeniture system, then, if the crown prince dies, it will be my turn, right?"
"You ......" Mu Zun suddenly trembled with anger, "Anyway, you and the prince are also brothers, you are so ruthless that you don't even leave him a way to live?" β
"Huh!" Mu Beituo narrowed his eyes, and his eyes showed a strong sense of resentment, "Brother? Did he see me as a brother? Since I was a child, how could he have looked up to me? β
"And you, when did you treat us like brothers? You arranged the best teacher for him, gave him the best mansion, and arranged for him to enter the military department to take charge of the army, and give him the best in everything! β
"What about me? What do I have? Even the opportunity to go to the criminal department to do things, I licked my face and begged you several times! Over the years, I have worked hard to handle official duties, and I have done everything myself to do my best, but you have never praised or encouraged me! β
"Why? Why is it that you are also a prince, you prefer the prince everywhere, but you don't even look at me? Was it because he was born a year before me? β
Facing Mu Beituo's accusation, Mu Zun recalled himself in the early years in a trance.
Before the first emperor died, he also asked exactly the same question.
There is hardly a father in this world who can treat his children with a bowl of water, Mu Zun is the emperor, but he is just a mortal with his own feelings.
I have to admit that he does prefer the crown prince, it can be said that other princes other than the crown prince, he has basically never cared, and he has never had time to talk about father-son affection.
Isn't this the case with all the emperors?
"It's not an excuse for you to plot a rebellion."
Mu Beituo smiled and said: "Yes, this is indeed not the reason why I took this step, the biggest reason for my rebellion is that I want to be the emperor." β
