Chapter 160: Attack on the Palace 2
Leng Junyi and Yu Heng had a little luck and rushed all the way from the National Teacher's Mansion to the palace.
Both of them were very good, and in less than a moment, they had already rushed to the bottom of the palace walls.
Today, the city walls are in shambles, and the gates of the palace have been smashed and deformed.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Leng Junyi's eyes couldn't help but sink.
And Yu Heng's cynical face instantly became serious. "Let's go in and have a look."
The two of them crossed the corpse and passed through the city gates, and the situation in the palace made them frown even more.
I saw countless corpses piled up together, including eunuchs and palace maids, everyone was blind with their eyes open, and they also had a blood hole in their bodies.
Scarlet blood gushed out of the blood cave, and the earth was already dyed blood-red.
The two of them looked at the scene in front of them, and they could imagine how tragic the battle had been here before.
"Jun Yi, didn't you say that there are 80,000 troops in Mufu, and the emperor has 50,000 troops? How is this..."
Yu Heng's words were not finished, but the meaning was obvious.
If it is really an army of 50,000 against an army of 80,000, although it may not be able to win, it will never be as tragic as this, this is simply like a crushing situation!
Leng Junyi pursed his lips and was silent, he was also a little puzzled, what was wrong with this?
"Your Majesty."
Leng Junyi's whole body was stunned, as if he remembered something, his face showed anxiety, so he was lucky and rushed all the way to the Jinluan Palace.
Seeing this, Yu Heng also followed.
In the Jinluan Palace, the second prince and General Mu Lao were wearing battle armor and were confronting the emperor.
And the 80,000 army is only more than 70,000 at the moment, and it is surrounding the Jinluan Hall layer by layer.
In the hall, I saw the second prince smiling and his tone was brisk: "Father, you said that the sons and daughters are not as good as the five emperor brothers, why did you choose the useless five emperor brothers as the crown prince instead of me?" ”
As he spoke, he saw the fifth prince standing beside the emperor at the moment, trembling with fright.
This unpromising look, not to mention that the second prince looks down on him, even the emperor feels very embarrassed at the moment.
But what can be done, this is the prince he chose himself, so even if he loses face, he still has to continue to maintain it.
I saw the emperor with an angry face, his eyes staring at the second prince, and his mouth even asked:
"Rebel son, you did such a rebellious thing, and you dare to want to be the prince, who gave you the courage?"
Although the emperor has been ill for a long time, his majesty at this time should not be underestimated.
However, the two princes have rebelled, where can they be afraid of the emperor's majesty.
He smiled: "Don't be angry, son-in-law knows that you are seriously ill, as long as your father is willing to hand over the jade seal, son-in-law promises to let you continue to enjoy your old age in peace, otherwise..."
Speaking of this, the second prince's face suddenly sank, and his tone was even more unkind: "Don't blame the sons for being unfilial." ”
These words completely angered the emperor.
Listen to what he means, don't blame the sons for being unfilial?
It means that as long as he doesn't hand over the jade seal, his good son will kill him?
When the emperor was about to speak, he heard the five princes beside him plop down and kneel.
The voice cried and howled: "Second Emperor Brother, don't kill me, if you want the position of crown prince, I will give it to you, just ask you not to kill me, let me go." ”
When the emperor saw him like this, the blue meridian on his forehead suddenly burst out.
He shouted angrily: "Get up." ”
But the fifth prince, who was very scared, was willing to listen to him, just kowtowed to the second prince and begged for mercy, asking him not to kill himself.
The emperor looked at him like he was so unproductive, he really regretted it at this time, why did he set up such a muddy man who couldn't be supported as the crown prince?
And the second prince looked at the fifth prince's cowardice, and looked at him with great disdain.
looked at the emperor with a smug face: "Father, this is the prince you set up, how can you be like a dog?" Do you rest assured that the country will be in the hands of such a person? Aren't you afraid that after a hundred years, I will be carved up by other countries? ”
At all times, the emperor closed his eyes tightly and suppressed the anger in his heart by taking a deep breath.
At this time, it was just the three of them who were talking, and General Mu was just standing quietly aside.
But soon the conversation fell on him.
I saw that the emperor opened his eyes violently, and a pair of fierce eyes swept towards General Mu: "Mu Hongyun, I handed over the military power to you, did I let you aim the spearhead at me?" Are you worthy of my high hopes for you? ”
This is the first time that the emperor has called General Mu by his name.
And General Mu Lao said in his heart that he was unwilling to do this, but the matter had come to this point, even if he had a hard time, he could not change the fact of the rebellion, and the emperor would not forgive him.
So he sighed and said lightly: "Your Majesty, you are old and sick, it is better to enjoy your old age as soon as possible, and leave the country to their young people." ”
When the emperor heard this, he was immediately angry, and a mouthful of blood spit out of his mouth.
"Your Majesty." Seeing this, the father-in-law on the side exclaimed.
He hurriedly took a handkerchief and wiped the blood stains on the corner of his mouth for the emperor.
The emperor pulled the handkerchief in the hand of the German father-in-law, indicating that he was fine.
Father-in-law De was also uncomfortable at this time, not long after he entered the palace, he followed the emperor, and now it has been decades, and he has never seen the emperor so embarrassed.
And the emperor looked at the two princes who were rebellious below, and then looked at the cowardly five princes around him.
I couldn't help but feel a ridicule in my heart, thinking that he had many heirs in his life, the most outstanding of which were the two princes, the fifth prince and the eighth prince, and the other princes were all unworthy of the task.
And the eight princes have lost power before, and the second prince and the fifth prince are left.
At the beginning, he was indeed ready to make the second prince the crown prince, but who made him do that kind of thing to kidnap a girl from a good family.
There were so many pairs of eyes staring at that time, and he had to punish him.
But now? One rebelled, the other was cowardly.
No matter which one he puts in the hands of the country, he is not far from the destruction of the country.
Just when he was thinking out of his mind, the voice of the second prince remembered again: "Father, have you thought clearly?" Do you choose to hand over the jade seal or do you want your son to be an unfilial person? ”
Although he said that he didn't want to be an unfilial person, he didn't actually feel that there was any filial piety.
Since ancient times, only the strong are qualified to judge others, and others are not qualified to judge the strong.
When he ascends to the throne, who will dare to mention this?
So the way he looked at the emperor was even more unscrupulous.
But the emperor has been in this position for so many years, and he has never seen any major events, so a little threat is not in his eyes at all.
He just blamed himself for not seeing his son's ambitions sooner.
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, a majestic and imposing voice sounded: "The emperor will not choose any of them." ”
