The fourth prince cried for a while before he stopped, and sighed with a smile, "My father values me the most!" ”

Mr. Youya wrinkled his eyebrows, "Your Highness, you are the one who betrayed the emperor." ”

The emperor hated betrayal the most, and he was a selfish man. If the emperor is still alive, in order to be able to enter the Huguan, he may give the four princes a holy decree and make him the crown prince. Now that the emperor is dead, Mr. Youya doesn't believe that the emperor will set up a traitor as the prince before he dies!

The smile on the face of the fourth prince froze, "Sir, what do you mean, the will is fake?" ”

Then he grabbed the scout by the hem of his garment and asked, "Have you seen the decree with your own eyes?" ”

The scout shook his head, "The decree is sealed in a locked box. Father-in-law An said that the key emperor handed over to a shadow guard named Gray. Only when he sees His Highness will the shadow guard hand over the key. However, Gonggong An had seen with his own eyes that the holy decree was written with the words 'Establish as the prince'. ”

The Four Princes and Mr. Youya glanced at each other.

They all know about the existence of the gray clothes. The gray clothes are the shadow of the emperor, even if the emperor pampers the concubines, he will not leave too far.

"Oh, Your Highness, sir~" Liu Cheng interrupted the eye contact between the two, "Whether the will is true or false, after the others come, let them hand over the holy decree first, and they will know it after a check." Huguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are only 10,000 soldiers in Tian Qing's hands, so why be afraid? ”

In order to win the trust of the dead prince, Tian Qing also revealed the true situation of the troops in his hands. Anyway, even if you don't say it, the scouts can find out, so it's better to use this to show sincerity.

When it came to Tian Qing, Mr. Youya believed that the holy decree was true. He recognized the emperor's pen and ink, and he could distinguish the authenticity of the jade seal and the emperor's private seal, and if the holy decree was false, he could immediately see through it. The more than 100,000 people brought by Tian Qing had only a dead end.

Could it be that after a big defeat, the emperor changed his sex?

However, I once heard the doctor say that some people can't stand the bloody cruelty of the battlefield, and their temperament changes greatly after they return.

No matter what the reason was for the emperor to write a will to appoint the four princes as the prince before he died, with that will, when he returned to the capital, the four princes only needed to eliminate the resistance from the prince's faction, and they could smoothly ascend the throne as emperor.

As for the Xie family, without the Xie family army to rely on, that is, the remnant tiger that has been chopped off its claws and its fangs pulled out is worse than a cat.

"Your Highness, you can't stay in this pot."

Since the will is true, the four princes must rush back to the capital as soon as possible, so as not to kill the four princes halfway after the prince gets the news. The crown prince has in his hands the 170,000 army of King Pingnan!

The fourth prince nodded, "When you get the holy decree, you will immediately pull out the camp and return to Beijing!" ”

Liu Cheng exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, "In this way, the minister can also explain to the generals under him." ”

On the same day, the army withdrew to Huguan, and the news of the defeat came from Jiuquan City, and the generals under his command knew that they had been deceived by the Four Princes and Mr. Youya and committed the crime of rebellion.

Some generals shouted that they wanted to return to Jiuquan City, but Liu Cheng enwei and promised that when the four princes ascended the throne as emperors, they would be rewarded to stabilize those generals. But as the days passed, the hearts of those generals floated again. Liu Cheng killed several generals who wanted to bring troops out of the customs in public, and then pressed back those who were ready to move.

But the army's heart is like a flood, and it is not possible to blindly force pressure.

Hope must be given to the soldiers!

That will is hope!

When Tian Qing heard that the four princes were about to return to Beijing immediately, his hopes were instantly shattered, and he couldn't wait to rush forward and destroy the will!

He took more than 100,000 people, traveled day and night without stopping, and finally came to Huguan in a day and night, but only got the news that the four princes were going to return to Beijing with an army of 80,000 taels.

"Your Highness, Jiuquan is in a critical situation now, and I can't help it! Jiuquan is also the land of the Yun Dynasty! Tian Qing desperately dragged the arm of the fourth prince.

The fourth prince frowned in annoyance, "Tian Qing, for the sake of you helping your father's coffin to this palace, this palace will forgive you for the crime of disrespect." But this soldier, this palace can't give you a single one. ”

Since receiving the will, Mr. Ariya confirmed that it was true, and the self-title of the four princes has changed from "this prince" to "this palace" He likes this self-title very much, and it feels like stepping on the prince who has been pressing on his head, and he shiveres all over.

Mr. Youya persuaded him, "Chengyi Hou, the country cannot be without a king for a day." Once the news of the emperor's death spreads, there may be riots in the capital. These 80,000 soldiers may be the support of the Four Highnesses to quell the chaos. However, Hou Ye is right, Jiuquan is the land of my Yun Dynasty after all, and if it can be saved, it still needs to be saved. Hou Ye has escorted the people of Jiuquan into Huguan, the people are very safe here, and Hou Ye can take 30,000 soldiers to support Jiuquan. ”

Damn! Tian Qing almost burst into foul language.

30,000 people, only 10,000 soldiers who can fight, can be used for a fart!

Mr. Youya and the Four Princes didn't care whether Tian Qing was thunderous or not, they happily turned over and got on their horses, and quickly left Huguan with the 80,000 soldiers of the two lakes and headed for the capital.

Tian Qing sulked for a while, left a hundred or so people, went to various places to recruit soldiers, and left Huguan with the soldiers who were willing to return to Jiuquan.

"Xie Xun, you must hold on! Lao Tian, I'm here to support you! ”

Although there were only 10,000 wounded soldiers, Tian Qing refused to return to Shu after all. He Tianqing will never run away!

Neither of these groups paid attention, and one of them rode quietly north.

Zhangye City.

The gates were closed, and dozens of corpses lay scattered outside the city. These people had tried to enter the city, but they were shot dead by the officers and soldiers defending the city, and their bodies were exposed outside the city as a deterrent. When the people who came by mistake saw the rotting corpses, they turned around in fright and left.

Today, there is a person who, while walking, shouts, "Don't shoot!" Don't shoot! Our family is the copper coin of the eunuch accompanying the emperor, and the emperor has a will to leave it to His Royal Highness the Prince, pass it on quickly! ”

Hearing this, the people on the castle tower immediately ran to the county guard mansion to report.

"Will?" King Pingnan tasted these two words on the tip of his tongue, slapped the table and stood up, "The emperor has died!" ”

"Unlikely, right?" The crown prince hoped that the emperor would die, so that he could ascend the throne and become emperor.

"Bring people in!" King Pingnan waved his hand and ordered.

The person brought in, but he only had time to untie the burden on his back and shouted, "Your Highness, the emperor has died, leave a will for Your Highness...... and the person fainted.

The burden in the prince's hand suddenly weighed like a thousand gold.

"Father is really scared!"

King Pingnan stared at the burden, "Your Highness, take a look at what is written in the will?" ”

Only then did the prince react and hurriedly opened the baggage, but because he was in a hurry, he tore all the baggage skins and things fell out of it.

A wooden box, a key, and a small seal.

The prince picked up the small seal, and finally believed the little eunuch's words, "This is the private seal of my father!" ”

The private seal can be called a small jade seal, and the emperor never leaves him.

King Pingnan was already using the key to open the box. The box opened, revealing a fire-lacquered decree.

The crown prince rubbed his cheeks vigorously, and his hand to get the holy decree was trembling slightly, "What will the father leave to the palace?" ”

King Pingnan's expression instantly became gloomy, with his understanding of the emperor's cousin, there is only one dead word for the betrayer!

The prince almost lost the decree in his hand.

"Don't be afraid. If it is the will of killing you, burn it. ”

King Pingnan took the place of the crown prince and slowly unfolded the holy decree.

After reading the holy decree, the prince sat on the ground, unable to return to his senses for a long time, "Father and Emperor actually set up this palace as the prince!" ”

This really surprised the prince.

King Pingnan is also a little blind, this is not at all like the emperor's style of acting?

He carefully examined the holy decree again, and looked at it one by one, "It is indeed the emperor's handwriting, and the jade seal and private seal are also true." ”

The crown prince cried, covered his face and howled, "Father, my son is sorry for you!" ”

If he hadn't done something rebellious, Jiuquan would not have been defeated in the first battle, and his father would not have been frightened, or even died, and there was not even anyone around him to see him off.

"Your Highness, now is not the time to mourn. We must rush back to Beijing as soon as possible. In case the news of the emperor's death spreads, the capital is afraid that there will be chaos. You have to go back to Beijing to preside over the overall situation! ”

When the king of Pingnan lifted the crown prince from the ground, he ran out and ordered the camp to return to Beijing......
