Chapter 625: The Queen and the Crown Prince (2)
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" With the second prince as the center, Shangguan Xiaoyao, Xia Chonglou, Youyun Emperor Jun and others on the round table raised the wine bottle without the slightest hesitation, and the squires also spilled out with a pause, and some of the wealthy and middle-class sects fell to the ground after a little hesitation, and the farther ones raised the wine bottle and stood in place, and the jade bottles of the famous families sitting in the corner did not lift it from beginning to end.
"Invite those famous people out, you are not welcome here. The second prince looked at these masters who were respectfully picked up by the maids with a cold face, and watched them being sent out of the palace with a cold face, and the red face of drinking three bottles of imperial wine quickly cooled down.
"Eat!" the second prince said no more, shouted a word to eat, and stuffed his head.
However, except for the henchmen of the big guys at the round table, who can really eat and drink with ease, the general forces sitting on the long table only dare to fill small pieces into their mouths, and from time to time they have to look up at the second prince on the seat.
Even some people have hands like sifting chaff, and chopsticks are not able to hold them steadily.
"Everyone, my second prince invited you to come, I must have understood it in my heart, right?" At the round table, the second prince was full of wine and food, wiped his mouth, stood up, and asked loudly.
"My brother is the eldest son of a country, and he should take on the responsibility of governing the country of this royal family. The second prince paused when he said this, and looked down at the wine he had spilled. "But His Royal Highness the Prince, the dismissal of virtuous ministers and meritorious generals, and the appointment of traitors and villains, have made this half of the government and the opposition miserable. ”
"As his younger brother, I am also the son of Emperor Jiuyang. I can't tolerate this kind of behavior that endangers the empire, and my father and emperor can't give away the country he worked so hard to give!"
"What I can't accept even more is Her Royal Highness the Queen, Her Royal Highness the Queen who should be the mother of the world!" the second prince paused again, looking at the Jiuyang Hall in the northwest. "Her Royal Highness the Empress colluded with the Shang Kingdom, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows, but he would rather cover up the mortal crime committed by his mother than defend this Great Xia land!"
Speaking of this time, the gold medal killer secretly planted by Shangguan Xiaoyao in the audience was already angry at this time, gritting his teeth and encouraging the people around him to correct the name of Great Xia and assist the second prince to become the real next emperor of Great Xia.
The second prince took in all the expressions on the square, and he didn't know that Shangguan Xiaoyao had planted a gold medal killer in the crowd to encourage the crowd, so there was a hint of arrogance on his expression, thinking that his speech was very successful.
......
At the same time, there was chaos in the prince's palace, and the cronies sent out to contact the bait were either missing or reporting that the bait had disappeared, and the queen sent people to persuade the prince to go to Dashang with her, but the prince sent eight messengers to dissuade them.
"Whoever explains to me where my brother came from, these evidences are all ironclad!" the prince waved his hand and smashed a jade bottle, and asked a group of private ministers who were kneeling on the ground.
"Back to Your Majesty, according to Weichen's investigation, the sources of these evidences are all made by the second prince and his friends, and some of them are all contributed by Xiao Yao and Xia Chonglou. "When the Emperor of Jiuyang couldn't see it, the prince's private ministers had already called the prince by His Majesty, and they were scrambling to kneel in front of the prince to show their loyalty.
"Xia Chonglou, I can't move, what kind of character is this Xiao Yao?" the prince calmed down a little and focused on Shangguan Xiaoyao.
"I don't know, a figure who has risen in the flat land is now verified to be the Emperor Xiao Yaotang of the Dark Night Organization, who is quite valued by the Emperor of the Dark Night, and has a very good personal relationship with Feng Bamian, the shopkeeper of Xia Chonglou and Shanhailou. Judging from the information from the second prince, it seems that the grievances with the Youyun organization have been resolved, and he is currently sitting in front of the second prince with the Youyun Emperor. Another private minister, who was kneeling on the ground, hurriedly replied.
"I don't dare to move this person!" the prince gritted his teeth first, and when he heard that he had a lot of personal relations with Feng Bamian Xia Chonglou, he shrank back again.
"I'm angry, bring a flying eagle, and I'll send a message to the big merchants. If you can help me keep this throne, I will definitely grant him the supreme benefits of great business!" the prince wrote a secret letter, sealed it with Yuan Li, and stuffed it into the mouth of a flying eagle.
"Let's go!" The prince, who was angry at the head, threw another brush and drove away a group of private ministers.
"Open the door of the temple, I will go to the queen mother's meeting!"
"Ha, this real dragon companion grass is really easy to use, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ran to the Queen Mother for help!" After the banquet of the sages, Shangguan Xiaoyao and Xia Chonglou, Emperor Youyun and others sat in the palace with the second prince and circulated the secret reports from the private ministers who were constantly being bought off from the prince's side.
"Okay! It seems that the crown prince is already overwhelmed, the task we are waiting for has ended, and the rest is for His Royal Highness the Second Prince to wait for tomorrow morning to expose the prince's conspiracy and tricks in person. Shangguan Xiaoyao took out a folding fan out of nowhere, fanned it in front of him and said.
......
"You fart!"
The next morning, the struggle between the second prince and the crown prince entered a fierce stage with a foul word from the prince.
"You make it clear, the crown prince and I act in a fair and honest manner, how can such a thing be done by me, I think you are trying to seize the throne, you are trying to seize the orthodoxy of Great Xia!" The prince was hoarse and verbally attacked the second prince, last night he sent almost all his personal soldiers to do the final death struggle, and found that those bait was really gone.
The second prince didn't say much to His Royal Highness the Prince, and whispered a few words to the pro-soldiers behind him, and the pro-soldiers trotted all the way back to lead a few Wang Realm commanders back, and they were still holding a few large cloth bags in their hands.
"These are those meritorious generals who have been demoted, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has demoted these people to their homes for reasons in order to promote his generals and let his own people impersonate them, I think he wants to seize military power. The second prince glanced at the crown prince, seeing his shocked expressions when he saw these bait generals who were originally his bait, he was secretly happy in his heart, and took the cloth bag in his hand and shook it to the ground.
"This cloth bag is full of human heads! Second prince, what do you want to do, and what kind of system does this court become!" Several old ministers who favored the crown prince were shocked when they saw the heads rolling out of the cloth bag, so they asked sharply.
"You are old and blind! This is all my Great Xia's Imperial Forest Army, haven't you noticed that the Imperial Forest Army that stood up in the morning has been replaced, or do you mean that you have been looking down at the floor for twenty or thirty years?!"
"These Royal Forest Army, I sent out a few commanders overnight last night and died, at first I ordered my own soldiers to go, and the personal soldiers did not come back, and I sent people to find the personal soldiers, and the people sent there were also gone. The second prince was already in tears at this time, and he couldn't wait to grab the ground with his head. "Then I realized that something had happened, and I went to the general's mansion overnight, and woke up the general to have a large team of men and horses to rescue these commanders, otherwise these heroes would have died at the hands of the assassins. ”
At this time, the crown prince had been shocked by his brother's outstanding performance, and he couldn't say a word for a long time, the commander who came up was the bait he was searching for, and the head in the cloth bag was his own soldier, and now the second prince was his person.
What shocked the prince even more was that these commanders opened their mouths and said that they were familiar with those assassins, and they often went in and out of the prince's palace on weekdays.
The crown prince didn't dare to look up at the face of the Emperor of Jiuyang, he felt that the coercion of the Holy Realm was spreading uncontrollably, and almost everyone in the hall was overwhelmed.
However, the prince's nightmare was behind, and he saw the second prince wipe his tears, and waved his hand to the maid outside the palace to come up with a plate, on one side of which was a dead eagle, and on the other side was a small secret letter.
The prince only glanced at it, and knelt directly on the hall with his heart like ashes.
"Your Majesty, this is the Flying Eagle of the Great Shang Transmission that our army intercepted from outside the city, and this secret letter has been found in the stomach, please take a look at it!" The general half-knelt on the ground, holding the Dead Eagle and the secret trust in his hands.
Emperor Jiuyang beckoned, and the secret letter floated into his hand in the air, only to see him pressing the dragon chair with one hand and holding the secret letter with the other, and the green tendons on his head burst out.
After reading the letter, the dragon chair also turned into powder in his hand.
"Hahahaha, it's very good, it's very good! I am worthy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Empire!" Emperor Jiuyang laughed angrily, strode down the steps, and slapped the prince on the shoulder.
The prince vomited blood from his mouth and fell to the ground.
Emperor Jiuyang saw that the prince fell directly to the ground, and he had nowhere to vent his anger for a while, so he punched down a coiled dragon pillar before he stopped, and the ears of a group of courtiers were buzzing in a thunderous voice: "Bring the queen to me, don't want to run away from this mother and son!"
After a while, His Royal Highness Jiuyang, the queen who changed into a plain dress was pressed by the Imperial Forest Army and knelt in front of the square.
"Second child, you come!" Back in the hall, the Emperor Jiuyang, who was sitting on the new dragon chair, beckoned to the second prince to come to him.
The second prince was ecstatic in his heart, and he still walked calmly to the dragon chair on the surface.
"Today, the eldest son has been deposed due to the scourge of the Great Xia Foundation, the inheritance cannot be broken for a day, and the prince is indispensable for a day, and the second prince is established here as the crown prince!" "This crown is yours from now on, make good use of it. ”
The second prince took the crown prince with both hands, and when he put it on the top of his head, he found that this crown was an emperor realm divine weapon, with a four-patterned and five-clawed dragon soul inside, and a body protection formation that could resist the full force of the emperor realm.
"Thank you, Father!" The second prince officially put on the four dragon-patterned imperial robes at this time and knelt down to thank him.
Emperor Jiuyang listened to the report of the civil and military officials at the court meeting with a gloomy face, and was about to announce the end of the meeting when a letter flew into the hall and fell into the hands of Emperor Jiuyang.
With a "snap", the second dragon chair also shattered.
"Okay, you are a merchant country!" The general listened to the order, ordered 20,000 troops and marched to the border of the Shang country, and when I reorganized the army, I will drive the expedition in person!" Emperor Jiuyang crushed the paper in his hand, and hurriedly got up and walked to the back of the palace. "Scatter!"
