Chapter 143: Enthronement
Bai Fengqi and the Lu family were taken into custody, and the emperor wanted to stab them to death directly in public on the grounds that Bai Wanrou and Chen Ruzhi were plotting to rebel, and let the crown prince Zheng Chen behead him, and also said cruel words to Chen Ruzhi and Bai Wanrou, saying that if the two of them could not hide, they would immediately kill Bai Fengqi and the Lu family at the execution ground.
When the people learned the news, they came to the execution ground to watch.
"It is said that this King Jian'an rebelled, how is this possible!" All the people didn't believe that Chen Ruzhi would rebel, after all, he had great achievements in battle, and he was also very desperate for them.
After Chen Ruzhi appeased Bai Wanrou, he came to the execution ground, and let her continue to hide in their current hiding place, and the prince Zheng Chen, who had been waiting for someone to appear, saw this and ordered Chen Ruzhi to be taken into custody, and soon the people of the crown prince Zheng Chen on the execution ground surrounded Chen Ruzhi layer by layer.
Seeing that Chen Ruzhi was a little powerless in the face of so many people's attacks, a trace of pride crossed the eyes of the crown prince Zheng Chen, as if he had seen the scene of Chen Ruzhi lying in front of him.
It's just that his pride didn't last long, and the people from Chen Ru's faction came over and directly killed those who wanted to do something to Chen Ruzhi, not only Chen Ruzhi's people in this pile, but also people from the Lu family and other forces.
Seeing this scene, the Lu family and Bai Fengqi, who were originally worried that they would really die under the hands of the crown prince Zheng Chen, instantly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, Bai Fengqi expressed great regret in his heart for the things he had done to his daughter and son before.
Because he saw his son in that group of people just now, even the person who untied him just now was his son, but he didn't stay long, turned around and went over there to help Chen Ruzhi.
The Lu family was rescued by Lu Jiaxue and brought them all to a safe place.
The crown prince Zheng Chen saw the people on the execution ground being rescued from afar, and he was very angry about it, and hurriedly beckoned the other people on the execution ground to attack Chen Ruzhi and them, but unfortunately in the end they couldn't beat the group of people who helped Chen Ruzhi later, and in the end, it was the prince Zheng Chen who was arrested by Chen Ruzhi.
"Chen Ruzhi! Let go of the main hall! You know you're rebelling!" Prince Zheng Chen looked at Chen Ruzhi, who tied himself up, and bit angrily, eager to kick him to death.
But Chen Ruzhi didn't pay attention to him, but directly took the crown prince Zheng Chen and went directly to the palace to find the emperor for a showdown, and the palace was also surrounded by Chen Ruzhi, saving the emperor and others from sneaking out, and killing those who wanted to go out to report the news.
When the concubines in the palace and the other royal relatives saw this, they all came to the Qinzheng Hall to join in the fun, but none of them dared to go to them, they just stood far away, but the distance was enough to hear the conversation between them.
"Chen Ruzhi! Are you rebelling?" The emperor, who was originally sitting in the Qinzheng Hall to deal with government affairs, never thought that he would be suddenly surrounded, and the person who surrounded him was Chen Ruzhi, who was angry at the moment, and felt that Chen Ruzhi was rebelling.
Because of anger, the paper in his hand was also crumpled by the emperor. :
"What about rebellion? What if you don't rebel? What's more, the place where you were sitting doesn't belong to you!" Chen Ruzhi directly threw the crown prince Zheng Chen to the ground, and then looked at the emperor who was still sitting on the throne and said sarcastically.
This sentence shocked the emperor instantly, even the crown prince Zheng Chen, who was thrown on the ground by Chen Ruzhi, didn't expect that things would be like this, and he was stupid there, thinking that this throne belongs to Chen Ruzhi?
Looking at the shocked look on the face of the crown prince Zheng Chen, the emperor knew that his matter was about to be revealed, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Chen Ruzhi so early.
Despite this, the emperor still stabilized his mind, pretended to be calm and looked at Chen Ruzhi and said, "I'm sitting in this position now, that's mine!" You say this position doesn't belong to me, does it belong to you?"
"Huh! Do you dare to tell me in public that the truth about my mother's death has nothing to do with you?" Chen Ruzhi only felt very ironic when he looked at the emperor like this, and looked directly at him and asked the truth about his mother's death.
The emperor, who was originally very calm, panicked in an instant and lied directly in front of everyone
"I don't know anything about the truth about your mother's death! Your mother's death has nothing to do with me! Don't slander me here!"
Chen Ruzhi sneered when he saw this, and then glanced at the onlookers around him, especially those imperial relatives who were closer to the emperor on weekdays, and those who wanted to escape were also directly wiped their necks, and the people around them were also huddled, trembling and staying there.
"After so many years, you are still as cowardly as ever, and you dare not admit what you have done, since you don't want to say it, then I won't force you, after all, I have almost investigated the matter back then."
When he said this, Chen Ru subconsciously paused, and took in the expression on the emperor's face now, including those around who came to see the excitement, when they heard Chen Ruzhi's words, they were also very shocked, but Chen Ruzhi's next words would make them even more shocked.
"It's better to tell everyone about the process and reason why my mother was killed by you back then!"
"My mother is just picking up things from the rockery at your door, and I didn't hear what you said, but you coerced and lured my mother......
In this way, Chen Ruzhi told the process and reason why his mother was killed by the emperor one by one, and then everyone present looked at the emperor's expression full of disgust and shock, no one believed that the emperor who seemed to be so easy to get along with was actually such a cruel person.
"Back then, my mother was so kind to you, treating you as a relative, but she treated me like that, and even behaved like that to my mother......
The emperor didn't expect that the things he did back then were actually found out by Chen Ruzhi, and in front of so many people, he told them all, and he directly called out his secret guard and was ready to fight with Chen Ruzhi, but none of the people under him were Chen Ruzhi's opponents.
Even in the end, the emperor directly didn't even let the crown prince Zheng Chen take care of those people, but in the end, he still didn't beat Chen Ruzhi, and was directly killed by Chen Ruzhi in the Qinzheng Palace.
"Father!" Prince Zheng Chen watched his father being killed, and instantly shouted in grief.
After a short period of grief, the crown prince Zheng Chen wiped away his tears, picked up the sword in his hand and rushed towards Chen Ruzhi, wanting to avenge his father, "Chen Ruzhi! I'll fight with you!"
Originally, the crown prince Zheng Chen still hated his father for not caring about his own safety, and the moment he saw his father fall, there was only one thought in his mind, that is, to avenge his father!
Chen Ruzhi looked at the prince Zheng Chen in front of him who rushed towards him with a sword, basically didn't move much, and wiped his neck directly with a sword, and before he could react, he was already lying in a pool of blood with wide eyes.
This war full of gunpowder ended with the victory of Chen Ru, the emperor and the crown prince were lying in a pool of blood, and those who were with them were also killed, and the entire palace was full of blood and gunsmoke.
Chen Ruzhi also went to pick up Bai Wanrou home with the joy of victory.
However, before going to pick up Bai Wanrou, because she was worried that the smell of blood on her body would affect her body, she specially returned to the palace to clean her body, and asked people to take a good rest in the palace, so she went to the place where Bai Wanrou is now.
"Wanrou, I'll take you home." Looking at Bai Wanrou, who was pregnant with her own child and hiding in a thatched hut and sewing children's clothes with stitches and threads, Chen Ruzhi's heart crossed a trace of warmth.
"Okay." In fact, although Bai Wanrou has been staying in this place, she still knows more or less about the news from the outside world, and she also knows what Chen Ruzhi is doing, but she didn't expect that he would wash away the bloody breath on his body and come to find him again, which is really heartwarming.
In this way, Chen Ruzhi took Bai Wanrou back to the previous Jian'an palace to settle down.
Kyoto, which had been a farce, gradually settled down, and no one said anything about King Jian'an's rebellion, because now everyone thinks that this is nonsense, and without King Jian'an's protection, everyone would not be able to live a stable life.
The ugly things that the dead emperor did were also announced to the world, and everyone knew about the death of Chen Ru's mother and concubine.
The people are right, too
He hated it to the core, and when he knew where they would be buried, he went straight to dig up his grave and threw it into the barren mountains and mountains to feed the wolves.
In this way, Antai's life was very comfortable, and Bai Wanrou was also happily born in Jian'an Wangfu every day accompanied by Chen Ruzhi, and her life was not happy.
It's just that the ministers think that the country can't be without a king for a day, and they all elected Chen Ruzhi to be the emperor, so they asked for everyone's opinions, and finally with the strong support of the people, Chen Ruzhi had to take over Kyoto and become the new emperor.
A month later.
Chen Ruzhi ascended the throne surrounded by the people, so he specially pardoned those who were about to be sentenced to death, and gave them a chance to mend their ways, in exchange for the cheers of the entire Kyoto people, who shouted "Long live the new emperor".
The people said that it was meaningless for Chen Ruzhi to ascend the throne, after all, if Chen Ruzhi had not struggled outside, it would have been impossible for all of them to live and work in peace and contentment, and Bai Wanrou naturally became Chen Ruzhi's queen and managed the harem for him.
A few months later, Bai Wanrou gave birth to a baby girl, Chen Ruzhi was very happy, named her Xinyi, and named her "Zhaoyang Eldest Princess".
Chen Ruzhi did not take any more concubines for Bai Wanrou, during which Bai Wanrou, who was the queen, gave birth to a son and a daughter for him one after another, the son was named the prince, and the daughter enjoyed the same treatment as the "eldest princess of Zhaoyi".
Although Bai Wanrou is already the mother of the child, the husband and wife are still in love, and they live a very happy life.
