When the eldest prince saw Xiang Xiu coming, he immediately clapped his hands, and Qi Guan and the others were pulled up.

"Your Majesty!" The moment Xiang Xiu saw Qi Guan, Xiang Xiu hurriedly got off the horse, and the people behind him also got off the horse.

"The one who seeks power and usurps the throne is obviously the eldest prince, does the eldest prince want to use His Majesty to threaten Xiang Xiu?" Xiang Xiu showed a mocking smile, took two steps forward and continued, "It seems that the eldest prince is it. ”

"Xiang Xiu, what if you have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in your hands? Do you dare to take my life? Qi Wucheng saw Xiang Xiu's smile and paused in his heart.

He knew that Xiang Xiu would come back, but Xiang Xiu obviously brought 100,000 soldiers and horses, how could he report it and only say 30,000. That night, he sent someone to preach the forged holy decree to Xiang Xiu, and asked Xiang Xiu to go to Beijing earlier.

Why did he do this?

Xiang Xiu is the general leader of 100,000 soldiers and horses, as long as he controls Qiguan and lets him in alone, and then sends people to kill him, the 100,000 soldiers and horses will immediately collapse, and when the time comes, he only needs to send a general, and the 100,000 soldiers and horses will be his.

Tianqi is a rotational system, a general is not allowed to bring his own soldiers for more than three years, they will be transferred to another camp every three years.

In other words, an army of iron and officers of flowing water.

But why are only 30,000 people coming back now?

Although there are very few, Qi Wucheng does not intend to let Xiang Xiu go.

"The last general naturally doesn't dare, but do you still have a chance to win, the eldest prince? Your Majesty is in your hands, but do you dare to kill your father? My 30,000 soldiers are here, as long as the eldest prince rarely moves, the entire Tianqi will see the true face of the eldest prince, even if the eldest prince kills all of us, you will not become a true official. ”

"You-" Qi Wucheng shook his sleeves angrily, and the sword in his hand was pressed against the neck of the prince beside him.

"Qi Wucheng, do you still have humanity!" Qi Sheng's neck was poked by a bladed knife, and Shangguan and the crown princess struggled to go up. The palace maids were desperately pressed, they couldn't move, and the princess's child was also taken away. In order to prevent the child from crying loudly because of panic, Yan Qing let him sleep.

"Human nature, you talk to me about human nature, heh, you are just deceiving yourself, and you are not a good thing." The eldest prince put away the knife and kicked it hard, and the prince inertly withdrew from the clamp and curled up on the ground, unable to say anything painful.

"Qi Wucheng!" Qi Guan instantly sobered up, he pushed away the minister who was protecting him beside him, strode up to the eldest prince, and slapped it down.

The slap hit Qi Wucheng's face, and in an instant, there were five red fingerprints on his face.

"Daddy!"

"I have passed the throne to you, you must abide by my conditions, do not harm anyone, and if you violate it again, I will withdraw the edict of succession." Look at the numb hands hanging down. He didn't want this son to die in this forced palace race, but now he can't be soft-hearted. Previously, because the rebel son was menacing, in order to reduce the loss of the minister's guard, he had to deal with and compromise with it. But now, Qi Wucheng has committed a big taboo.

Can't stay any longer.

The eldest prince covered his face, he suppressed his anger, turned around and shouted: "Xiang Xiu, as long as you kill yourself, I guarantee that the emperor will ...... Well, the second prince Qi Sheng will not die, but if you don't do what I say, then the crown princess and my nephew will have to die. ”

After Qi Wucheng finished speaking, the guards on the side pulled the crown princess and Qi Lang to the front with great interest, and put the knife on their necks.

For a moment, the two sides were at a stalemate.

Qi Guan bowed his head slightly, Xiang Xiu saw it, and immediately took a dagger from the deputy general on the side.

"I don't know if the eldest prince can speak a word?"

"Naturally, my father has given me the edict of succession, I am the orthodox heir to the throne, a gentleman is a word, it is difficult to chase a horse, and when I ascend the throne, I will naturally treat everyone well." Qi Wucheng asked Qi Guan to go back.

Facing Xiang Xiu's 30,000 soldiers and horses, he only had this one way to deal with it.

As soon as Xiang Xiu died, he immediately let his subordinate Zou Heng ascend to the throne and command the 30,000 army and the Imperial City Division. Then, the entire Upper Kyoto will be under his control, and those who are not convinced will be killed.

Xiang Xiu said: "I hope the eldest prince will be the talker." ”

"You can go in peace."

Xiang Xiu raised the dagger and stabbed it hard in the abdomen.

"General Xiang."

"General!"

A large amount of blood flowed out of Xiang Xiu's abdomen, and he fell down a little unwillingly, splashing a little dust. Deputy General Mei ran to Xiang Xiu's side, he touched Xiang Xiu's neck with trembling hands, suddenly, he was startled, got up with his eyes and took a few steps back, sat on the ground and sobbed: "General! ”

"Xiang Xiu is dead, Zou Heng ordered you to be the general, commanding the border army and the Imperial City Division." Qi Wucheng said to Zou Heng.

"Yes, thank you...... Uh, Your Majesty. Zou Heng knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists, and then got up and walked to the front of the border army.

Mei Sheng still couldn't believe that the change came so quickly. In order to hold him, another lieutenant dragged him aside, and personally dragged the dead Xiang Xiu to the side, making way for Zou Heng to come out.

"Hmph, father, you see, I am the destiny of heaven." As soon as the eldest prince's voice fell, he only heard a commotion, as if a pig-killing knife had cut through the pork skin.

Qi Wucheng only felt a chill in his waist, then panicked in his heart, and then sweated all over, and finally everything turned into pain.

He stiffened and turned his head to look, "You...... How can it be? ”

Prince Qi Sheng let go of the dagger in his hand and took a step back. Without Qi Sheng's strength, Qi Wucheng collapsed like broken cotton wool.

Qi Wucheng seemed to hear a rumbling sound in his ears, and he closed his eyes unwillingly. He just died? Before the great cause was accomplished, he died like this?

Unwilling, really unwilling.

After many years of planning, I fell short, and I am unwilling!

In short, the eldest prince is dead.

"Sheng'er!" Shangguan had her hair scattered, she broke free from the palace maid's hand, stumbled in front of the prince, but the prince pushed her away.

Shangguan stepped forward again, and asked with a concerned face, "Sheng'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's not good, Qi Sheng lost his mind." Yan Qing looked at the retreating national teacher, and he decided that he was the murderer who confused the prince.

"How?" Li Qing asked.

"Killing the national teacher, once we go out, we will inevitably be exposed." Yanqing Road. Damn it! I didn't expect that a little mortal would have such ability, and he really underestimated him.

Yan Qing and Li Qing were planning to kill the national teacher, but here Zou Heng expressed his loyalty to the prince's kneeling.

The situation has not changed, but the people who forced the palace have changed, and the original eldest prince has been replaced by the crown prince.

Qi Guan thought that there was only one eldest prince who killed his father and seized the throne, but he didn't expect that now the crown prince Qi Sheng is also involved. But why did he do it? As long as Qi Wucheng is ambushed, the throne will naturally be his, why is he so impulsive? Qi Guan was puzzled.

"Your Majesty, let's retreat for now, the prince won't be unfavorable to you."

"No, the crown prince doesn't even hesitate to kill the eldest prince, and he may not make a move on His Majesty."

"Sheng'er." Shangguan muttered, she still didn't want to believe what she saw in front of her. She knew very well that Qi Sheng was ruthless, but he knew right from wrong and would never do such an unethical thing.
