Chapter Two Hundred and Six: The Dark Tide Surges
Ming Qun and several of his subordinates broke through the encirclement, rushed out of the palace, and flew into the air, Ming Lunhai would not let him escape, and led the sky warriors of the Royal Forest Army to chase and kill.
And Ming Qun flew into the air naturally for a purpose, he had already greeted his army, as long as there was any abnormal situation in the imperial city, he would attack the city immediately!
Ming Qun and the others flew as high as possible, just so that the army outside his city could see it, but the army outside the city had already sent someone to find high ground to observe the situation in the imperial city.
Therefore, as soon as Ming Qun and a few people were chased up, the army outside the city launched an attack on the imperial city. Because the gates of the imperial city were always open, the royal forest army defending the city was defenseless, and it was easy for the army outside the city to attack the imperial city.
But after Ming Qun's army entered the imperial city, the Imperial Forest Army also reacted immediately, and the two armies fought fiercely in the imperial city.
The people in the city were also in chaos, many people died in the war, and the originally prosperous imperial city became a purgatory on earth, with corpses all over the ground and rivers of blood!
Ming Lunhai and Ming Qun and others, who were fighting in the air, also saw the situation in the imperial city, and now whether it is the air battlefield or the ground battlefield, there is no winner or loser.
Princess Ming Yao almost fainted when she saw this situation, she hurriedly found someone to call the chief manager Hao Cheng over, but she couldn't find anyone.
The battle in the Imperial City lasted for a day, and in the end it was the Imperial Guards who won the final victory. Ming Lunhai was completely furious, and after catching Ming Qun, he was about to kill him immediately.
But at this time, the most mysterious force that has always been in the imperial city appeared, that is, dozens of court magicians.
They had always been only responsible to Emperor Ming, but now the command slowly fell into the hands of Hao Cheng.
"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and put Ming Qun, the thief who tried to assassinate His Majesty Emperor Ming, to justice on the spot!" Ming Lunhai shouted as he looked at a few Sky Warriors who were holding Ming Qun and were at a loss.
"Wait!" At this time, Hao Cheng came over with the magicians.
"Manager Hao Cheng, you are here, just to correct this anti-thief!" Ming Lunhai was promoted by Hao Cheng to be the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, so he had no hostility towards Hao Cheng, and he also thought that Hao Cheng would definitely help him.
"The prince is a thief? I see that your suspicion is not small, the two of you have turned the imperial city upside down today, and the purpose is to let His Majesty make you the crown prince, how can you be the majesty of the empire, you have no benevolence, you are all sinners of the empire, all of you are arrested, and I will make a decision after I study the matter clearly!" Hao Cheng said angrily.
"Manager Hao Cheng, Ming Qun is really a thief, kill him!" Ming Lunhai was shocked, he didn't expect Hao Cheng to even arrest him.
"You dare!" Hao Cheng came over with dozens of magicians from the eighth to the ninth level, these sky warriors had just finished the battle, and their fighting spirit was exhausted, even if they were not exhausted, in the face of dozens of high-level magicians, they did not dare to act rashly.
"Chief Hao Cheng, I am loyal to His Majesty Emperor Ming!" Ming Lunhai became nervous.
"Hmph, what are you doing, hurry up and arrest the two of them!" Hao Cheng shouted at the Imperial Forest Army.
At this time, the Imperial Forest Army finally took action to arrest Ming Lunhai, and now they are completely under Hao Cheng's orders.
"What are you doing, I'm your commander!" Ming Lunhai shouted, he felt that he had fallen into Hao Cheng's trap.
"Don't forget who gave you this commander!" Hao Cheng said.
At this time, Princess Ming Yao finally came out, looking at the chaos in the palace, she once again felt the sadness of rebelling against Murong Hei back then.
"Manager Hao Cheng, leave the rest to me. Although Princess Ming Yao felt that there must be something strange about Hao Cheng coming out now, she still hoped that Hao Cheng would be loyal to her.
"Your Highness, this situation is really chaotic now, you just saw it, now Ming Lunhai and Ming Qun are blatantly disobeying your orders, only the old ministers come out to control them, the affairs of the imperial city are still left to the old ministers, Your Highness just have a good rest." Hao Cheng said leisurely.
"What do you mean by this?" Princess Ming Yao heard this, her heart was half cold, she had trusted Hao Cheng too much in the past few years, and many things were handed over to him to deal with, but she didn't realize that the power in her hands had slowly fallen into his hands.
Now, whether it is the Imperial Forest Army or the court magician, the two most important forces in the imperial city are under Hao Cheng's orders, and she and Mingming are likely to end up as Hao Cheng's puppets.
"Your Highness, I mean it's time for you to rest. Hao Cheng said, he didn't have a chance to Ming Yao again, and escorted Ming Lunhai and Ming Qun away.
Princess Ming Yao stayed where she was, stunned and speechless, and now it was too late for her to do anything.
The next day, Hao Cheng cleaned up the imperial city, and then explained to the people about the war in the imperial city. It is said that the war was completely caused by Ming Qun and Ming Lunhai's attempt to compete for the crown prince, which caused the imperial city to be devastated and bloody, so they are all sinners of the empire, and they must be beheaded for public display.
Of course, this kind of handling is very pleasant, but shouldn't such a big matter be handled by His Majesty Emperor Ming himself, why should a governor behead a prince and a commander of the Imperial Forest Army?
These two people are relatives of the emperor, and if His Majesty really has no descendants, they are really the most suitable crown prince, is this Hao Cheng the real national thief?
Although the people who survived the imperial city were indignant, they did not dare to raise objections. After Ming Qun and Ming Lunhai were beheaded to show the public, His Majesty the Ming Emperor really had no crown prince, and it was difficult to say who this power would fall into in the future.
The battle in the imperial city and the Ming Qun, and the fact that Ming Lunhai was beheaded by Hao Cheng to show the public quickly spread to all parts of the Minglong Empire.
Many people find it unbelievable and incredible, but there are also people who like it and even feel that this is a good opportunity that has never been seen before.
Xue Shao, the governor of the province, was very excited about this matter, and he was ready to take action.
Xu Yi, the former lord of Rongcheng, is now Xue Shao's subordinate, and after hearing what happened in the imperial city, he immediately proposed to Xue Shao: "This Hao Chengcai is a scheming national thief, and now he has controlled Princess Ming Yao, and all affairs in the imperial city are handled by him, which is equivalent to establishing a puppet regime." My lord, should we take this opportunity to raise an army against Hao Cheng?"
"Hahahaha! I naturally have this idea, but we haven't gotten Princess Mingyao's secret edict, so why fight to fight?" Xue Shao said.
"My lord, Hao Cheng's obvious behavior, his ambition is already known to everyone, do you still need a secret edict?" Xu Yi said.
"Then we can't raise troops to fight on our own, we must unite the armies of other provinces, so that we can be justified, the new governor of Hanging Yin Province is the old department of Ming Lunhai, and he will definitely agree, and the governor of Starry Night Province is Ming Qun's people, so naturally he will not decide, that is, it is difficult for Lan Kai, the governor of Wind and Rain Province, to win over, he has been guarding the border passes, ignoring the affairs in the empire, I don't know if we will raise troops together this time. Xue Shao said.
"My lord, let's send someone to send a letter to propose first, if he is not willing to raise troops together, we can't miss this opportunity, once Hao Cheng's regime sits firmly and the army grows stronger, it will be difficult to crusade again. Xu Yi said.
"Well, we can't sit still, Hao Cheng can't tolerate sand in his eyes, how can we continue to be the governors of the provinces, he will definitely find a way to replace the governors with his cronies, now we must strike first!" Xue Shao walked around excitedly, he had been waiting for a long time at this moment.
