Two thousand miles away in the capital, the prince finally received a bit of Cheng Ziyu's southward journey from his subordinates.

A few days ago, Cheng Ziyu fought with the water bandits, and the momentum of continuing to go south with a clear purpose against the water bandits...... All of this undoubtedly told him that he had been deceived.

The emperor is really lying to him!

Cheng Ziyu didn't go to Xu Haizhi at all, otherwise their fleet should have gone east along the mouth of the Yellow River into the East China Sea in Ludi, instead of continuing south.

Then Cheng Ziyu took the risk to go south, and there was only one possibility - to find Zhu Changzhe.

Yes, Cheng Ziyu and Zhu Changzhe have always been friends, and the possibility that she knows Zhu Changzhe's whereabouts is indeed not small.

The crown prince and queen and the others were suddenly terrified, and their backs were cold.

The news they got was already lagging behind. Perhaps, at this moment, Zhu Changzhe is already on his way to the north, and is even preparing to enter Beijing......

Where can the princelings still sit still?

The biggest premise that they can endure to this day is nothing more than that Zhu Changzhe is missing, and the emperor has no other choice! But if Zhu Changzhe comes back, he will rush at the emperor's partiality and revenge, and the throne will definitely not fall on the crown prince.

They are almost more and more convinced that the emperor is delaying, controlling, and seeking stability, and the emperor is just waiting, waiting for Zhu Changzhe to return to Beijing, and waiting for the troops to be withdrawn......

This is the reason why even if the emperor is terminally ill, he still procrastinates, dodges, and seems to refuse to accept reality!

The emperor never thought of leaving the throne to the crown prince, they were all deceived!

Especially in the palace in Beijing, there are obviously a lot of people recently, and there are even more people who have quickly whipped north to the Baiheng camp, where the southwest has reported a great victory, and the new emperor of the Nanban has ascended the throne, and peace talks have begun in order to seek stability. The Southwestern Army will drive the distribution back to ...... on the same day

All this made the princelings' hearts beat like drums.

No time.

They couldn't help it either.

Taking advantage of the fact that Zhu Changzhe has not yet returned to Beijing and the military power has not yet been restored, this is their last chance.

They must take advantage of the weakness of the power in Beijing and the emperor's physical condition, act early, and hurry up to force the palace!

On this night, there was a dark surge under the calm surface of the entire capital.

The princeling's first shot was aimed at Qingyun Nunnery on the outskirts of the city.

In order to maintain the great cause of orthodoxy, they needed a weighty imperial prince, and they chose the queen mother. In order to protect the overall situation, the reputation of the old Zhu family, and the interests of the royal family, the Queen Mother must only be used by them in the end.

So, they attacked Qingyunan.

But Qingyun Nunnery, there is no queen mother!

At that moment, the princelings felt even more creepy, almost more certain of the urgency of the situation......

The emperor's old fox actually played so far away from the sky and the sea!

This also made them even more urgent, and they did not hesitate to do it.

Although the princelings have no military power, once the strength accumulated over the years is returned, it is still terrifying when the edge is revealed.

The old clans took action one after another, gathered together 50,000 elite soldiers, and surrounded the palace overnight with lightning speed. In this way, the news in the palace could not be spread out in the first place.

The queen has been densely packed in the palace for many years, and finally tried to see the dagger and quickly took all the important places in the harem. At the same time, the northern camp of the forbidden army suffered a sneak attack, and there was chaos in the forbidden army camp......

The emperor, who thought that he could delay for a few days, didn't expect the other party to do what he said, and he didn't hesitate to be ruthless, and he was also angry, his liver was on fire, and he vomited three mouthfuls of blood in a row, and he almost died at that time......

But the crown prince spread the news of the emperor's death overnight. The news of the funeral was almost spread throughout the capital by beating gongs and drums.

The entire capital, which had been asleep, was awakened.

The emperor died?

So......

From the emperor's relatives and relatives, including civil and military officials, to the common people, the first reaction was: Oh, the prince is going to succeed to the throne.

Otherwise?

The brightly lit Prince's Mansion suddenly became a star-like existence.

Whether you want to or not, accept it or not, no one will say a word. Even the forbidden army is confused. The emperor is dead, so they should obey the new emperor?

In particular, the old clan led by the Xiao family began to operate, and after kneeling at the palace gate and inviting the prince to enter the palace to preside over the overall situation...... Outside the palace gate, there was a mighty kneeling.

As soon as the emperor died, it was logical for the crown prince to ascend the throne, and there was no longer any dispute, so he should hurry to stand in line.

The crown prince has almost become the general trend, and everyone thinks that the best way to stabilize the situation is to support the crown prince's accession to the throne......

Even several cabinet elders who knew the holy will felt that in the current situation, the crown prince was the wisest choice.

In this way, the prince was finally only half a step away from that position.

His plan was to break open the palace gate first soft and then hard. As soon as the emperor died, he controlled the forbidden army, and then Bai Heng, everything fell into place......

However, the closed palace door suddenly looked weird.

Although the overall situation in the palace is still under the control of the emperor, the emperor was finally rescued by the imperial doctors, and when he knew that the entire capital was full of news that he had died, it was not easy to cover the sound again.

The crumbling emperor intends to pour a fierce medicine and have him carried up the city wall to expose the crown prince.

But the crown prince had already taken the first step to let people bring the message to the emperor:

If you want to save the face of the old Zhu family, you should take advantage of the trend at this moment. Then, opening the palace gate immediately can also avoid a bloody battle. The benevolent prince will solve the misunderstanding, accompany the emperor to perform a great drama of father's love and filial piety, so that the emperor's last time will end with dignity and glory, and do his best to send him off in glory. After he ascends the throne, his great achievements will be portrayed and disseminated, making him the greatest emperor in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty and realizing his life's long-cherished wish - an emperor through the ages!

But if it's the other way around......

As the emperor, he would rather die than pass on the crown prince, which in itself is disregarding the rules of the ancestors, unfilial piety and injustice, and making people despicable. Therefore, even if he can prove that the crown prince wants to seize the throne, it is unlikely to have a big impact on the prince's reputation. But the prince lost his name, so he had to fight for a fish. At that time, the history books could only be written from the position of the victor of the crown prince, and I was afraid that I would have to pour some sewage on the emperor......

In addition, it will cause turmoil in the current situation because of his obstinate behavior, the Great Zhou Dynasty will fall apart, the forces of all parties will be ready to move, the blood in Beijing will flow like a river, and the people of the Great Zhou will not be able to make a living...... When he steps down from the throne, he will not only say goodbye to the judgment of Ming Jun completely, but will not only be scolded by future generations, not only will he be retaliated, but even his early achievements will be forgotten, and he will become a tyrant spurned by everyone!

All in all, all the consequences are all in his thoughts! After a quarter of an hour, if he does not make a decision, then the palace gate will be lost. The crown prince will personally lead his troops into the palace......

The Emperor sneered.

It is undeniable that the prince still knows him well. even thought of blackmailing the reputation he cared about the most and his lifelong pursuit.

What a failure.

He thinks he is a chess player, and all beings in the world are his pawns, and he plays with them.

But when it came, the chess pieces all turned out of the chessboard, and they didn't want to be bound by him, and even didn't hesitate to destroy him to control the chessboard!

The emperor's frustration swallowed up all the pride of his life at this moment.

"Let's do it!" The emperor was depressed.

They all feel that they are superb, how about surrounding the palace? How about breaking the forbidden road? Even if he entered the palace, it would really be enough to force him to give way?

Dream!

If the prince dares to poison him, if he dares to poison him, if he has his last self-esteem, if he has four holy decrees outside, if he has his persistence and trust in Li Chun, he will never retreat!

The emperor, who had been prepared for a long time, made a move.

He gave up the last bit of foundation, took the medicine of the tiger and wolf, and stood in front of the imperial city towards the tall building, waving his arms.

He traded the last days of his life for today's excitement. He did his best.

The crown prince never thought that after locking the city gate and suppressing the emperor's biggest forbidden army, the emperor would still have so many people in the palace and in the capital.

Those elite soldiers who acted like ghosts were all good hands with one enemy and three enemies, and in the blink of an eye, the situation of the prince's soldiers changed from being surrounded to being attacked from inside and outside!

Although the defeat was revealed, the unwilling princelings knew that the emperor was going to die, so how could they give up such a situation? They know very well that as long as they carry it and endure it, once the emperor dies, the capital is still under their control.

With a turn of their minds, they turned their guns and no longer besieged the palace, but forcibly broke through with great sacrifices. They took it by surprise.

As soon as they took control of the Xiaoyao Palace, they held the lives of more than 200 people in the Xiaoyao Palace......

Second, with lightning speed, he hit the Zhewang Mansion, which was only the heroine, and was caught off guard. Wen Lan and Zhou Jingyi were unprepared, and although they resisted with all their might, after a few rounds, the Zhewang Mansion was still controlled by the princelings.

In this way, the princelings were divided into two groups, occupying the Xiaoyao Mansion and the Zhewang Mansion respectively.

Very clever.

King Xiaoyao is in charge of the clan, and he is also the relatively largest royal family in the royal family. Even if you can't move its side, you can try to control it. Even if it can't be controlled, it can be used to coerce or negotiate terms with the emperor.

In addition, the whole Xiaoyao Mansion is full of royal relatives, no matter how ruthless the emperor is, no matter how fierce Zhu Changzhe is, it is impossible to kill his relatives and relatives.

Therefore, grasping the top and bottom of the Xiaoyao Palace, it is equivalent to a talisman, so the prince himself sat in the battle.

As for the Zhewang Mansion, it was the crown princess who was eager to make meritorious contributions who took the initiative to ask Ying to control it.

Earlier, after Wenlan entered Beijing, she had been entertained by the crown princess, and the two had some friendship. The crown princess is a woman, and she will sit in the formation, at least it won't be too ugly.

And the value of the Zhewang Mansion is naturally in Vinlan.

Wenlan is both the concubine of King Zhe and the princess of Joseon, representing the face of Da Zhou and the face of North Korea, and even the face of Zhu Changzhe. As long as she is held in her hand, she has to look at the face of the Buddha without looking at the monk's face, the emperor can't do too much, and Zhu Changzhe will also be embarrassed.

As long as it is used well, it may be able to play a role in four or two thousand pounds.

Therefore, the prince's plan is not bad, as long as he has the lives of hundreds of people from these two families, the worst is the worst, and it should not be a problem for him to keep Qingshan.

And the emperor couldn't do anything to these two families, so the princelings bought time. Therefore, the best way for them is to stay in these two families and wait for the emperor to die......

The situation in the capital is once again confusing......

And in Jingxi, the rain still hasn't stopped.

Zhu Changjue went and returned, and the land and water routes approached again.

Cheng Ziyu tried his best, but the fire was clearly difficult to maintain for too long.

Zhu Changjue's side began to shout again, just waiting for the fire to be smaller, and it will attack in an all-round way.

As for Zhu Changan, his luck was good, he was not struck by lightning in the end.

He laughed too. He really didn't expect that the peaks and loops would turn, and there would be a turnaround, and the outcome would not be decided. God still has eyes, if he is lucky enough, he will probably be able to see Cheng Ziyu's fate! Well, he's not sorry!

The heavy rain continued, the fire gradually weakened, and the two sides confronted each other and waited for it.

Zhu Changjue's advantages became more and more obvious.

When the day dawned, his men didn't even need to light lamps and torches. Then there is no fear of the opponent's thunderbolts.

He stood on the lookout and could see clearly, the other party was at best less than three thousand people at the moment. Then in the situation that the opponent's thunderbolt bombs cannot be used, he is in an absolute crushing position in terms of number and equipment.

The win rate is back again!

Just when Zhu Changjue was about to move, Cheng Ziyu shouted to stop.

"Wait a minute! Zhu Changjue, you and I will talk about a condition! ”

Zhu Changjue raised his eyebrows.

"Do you know you're scared? But now I know, is it too late? I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in your conditions. Even if you kneel down and beg to come down, I'm not interested. ”

"Zhu Changjue, you think too much. I'm looking for you to talk about cooperation! Cheng Ziyu leaned forward slightly, without showing timidity. Because I just realized that it is wiser for you and me to work together instead of risking a mess here. ”

Zhu Changjue sneered.

"Cheng Ziyu, not only do you have a bad memory, but your brain is also not good? You didn't know each other when I persuaded you to surrender, you killed so many of my people, and you were about to surrender when you saw that you were not defeated? Is there such a good thing in the world? You'd better wait to die! Although he was a little surprised by Cheng Ziyu's words, he really didn't understand that she had arrived in such a field, and she was not begging, not surrendering, but shouting for cooperation?

"You know in your heart that if you kill me, you may not win. But if I help you, I can make sure you get what you want! ”

"No, I don't." He glanced at the bound "Cheng Ziyu" and "Zhu Changzhe" on the deck. "I have those two obedient ones, what do you want you to do?"

Having said that, he began to faintly look forward to it in his heart. Cheng Ziyu dares to say this, either there is a moth, or there is a real hole card!

"You need!" Cheng Ziyu smiled lightly and took a step forward. "I've got what you want! I can also facilitate what you want most! ”

"Oh? Like what? Zhu Changjue's eyes sank, and he stared at Cheng Ziyu like a torch. What he wants most is the throne, can she give it?

When I think about it, my mind is out of control.

Cheng Ziyu was not in a hurry from beginning to end, could it be that she had always hidden a hand? Zhu Changjue couldn't help but think about it!

"For example, I know Zhu Changzhe's specific hiding place. As long as you spare my man, I will take you to him! ”

"Why should I believe you?"

"With this!" As soon as Cheng Ziyu's cloak was raised, there was an extra bright yellow thing in his hand.

Zhu Changjue's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously stood up and raised his clairvoyance.

Cheng Ziyu slowly unfolded the bright yellow in front of him......
