Chapter 443: Edict

The monarch and the queen mother are still under house arrest in the dormitory by his people, and now it is time for him to show up. Although Fang had just behaved so indifferently in front of Jin Shu, Sima Tingfei himself knew very well that everything he had carefully planned so far was probably going to be in vain. However, he was not willing to accept defeat, so he had to make one last effort before that.

It's a pity that the reality is cruel. No matter how hard Sima Tingfei tried, his final outcome was only failure. After General Xiao led 20,000 horses into the city, he went straight to the palace. If this is done in a normal way, it is definitely a sign of disobedience. But the old man knows better than anyone that in this situation, it is a waste of time to talk about any rules.

Sima Tingfei didn't have many people in Zhongjing City, so they couldn't stop the 20,000 people led by General Xiao at all. However, at the gate of the palace, the people under the old man were still resisted by Lin Kang.

The palace is important, and if you want to break in, you must sacrifice something. But he didn't expect that at this time, the second prince actually led his men to arrive in time and killed the rebels from the palace gate on the side. He and the people led by General Xiao came to an internal and external meeting, so that the old man's men and horses could successfully enter the palace.

The bad news in front came one after another, and Sima Tingfei felt that the general trend had gone. However, he behaved very calmly, and still sat in the dormitory without saying a word to the monarch and the queen mother.

After Old Man Xiao broke in with someone, he came directly to the monarch's dormitory according to the news of the brocade book. Outside the dormitory, they met with stubborn resistance from Sima Tingfei's men. After all, this is the most important place, so Sima Tingfei has arranged the most people here.

The shouting of killing got closer and closer, and it was not until he gradually stopped that he slowly stood up, "Father, Old General Xiao should already be outside the door, why don't we go and meet him!" ”

Sima Tingfei's personal guard held a long sword in his hand and walked out of the palace holding the monarch hostage. The Queen Mother was also restrained and stood in front of the Ling Gate with Sima Tingfei.

In front of them, there was a group of guards with bows and arrows arranged in a neat row, these were Sima Tingfei's people. And outside, the entire dormitory was surrounded by the people brought by Old Man Xiao. There is a big difference in the number of people on both sides, but after all, Sima Tingfei holds the lives of the monarch and the queen mother in his hands, so General Xiao's people do not dare to act rashly.

The two sides confronted each other like this. In the end, it was the second prince who took the lead and said, "Third brother, do you know what you are doing?" It is a great crime to plot against the dynasty and usurp the throne! Why are you doing this? If you are caught now, I will beg my father to be lenient on you! ”

Sima Tingfei looked at the brother at the bottom of the stairs who he had never looked at, and showed a sarcastic smile, "What qualifications do you have for these words?" What is the plot to usurp the throne? As long as I get the edict today, everything I do will be justified! ”

At the same time as he said this, an attendant took the blank holy decree and pen and ink, and even the jade seal was ready, just waiting for the monarch to write the edict himself. The edict of succession must be written by the monarch himself in order to be useful. Although Sima Tingfei had already asked people to forge an edict in the handwriting of the monarch before, but now that the monarch has woken up, it would be more convincing for him to write a new one in front of everyone.

Even if the monarch was forced, as long as he wrote the edict, there was no room for turning the matter around. This is probably the reason why Sima Tingfei has been breathless!
