Xiahou Jian, the sixth prince, is not optimistic at all, even if Emperor Chu deliberately supported him and made him look like that, but in the end he is a prince without a mother.

The biggest dependence is on handing over the military power to distribute Tanglin, and the only good Xiahou Yu is just a prince, and the power of the Guangwen palace is still in the hands of the Guangwen King.

No one thought that Xiahou Jin could have any chance of winning, especially when he was easily pulled down by the crown prince and the third prince, which proved this.

But, is Xiahou Jin really stupid? If he was really stupid, then he wouldn't live to this age, and he should have died in the palace a long time ago.

And what outsiders see is nothing more than what he is willing to let others see.

His way of survival from childhood to adulthood is also his greatest shrewdness.

Seeing that he was about to be beaten, he quickly shrank down, first lowered his sense of existence, and avoided the deadly limelight, even if Mu Jiu and Xiao Junshu were not there, he knew what he should do, but it was indeed a little difficult to turn the tables around.

In the palace, the crown prince died, died only one step away from the throne, and the third and fourth princes both saw that position at the same time.

They all wanted, before they formed an alliance to deal with the crown prince, but now the prince is dead, and the emperor of Chu is also dead, who does this throne belong to?

It's been a long time since they formed an alliance, and even though the two are full of ambition, they also have some feelings, and they didn't immediately face each other, but stood on one side and were silent.

After a while, the third prince spoke: "I am longer than you, this son is naturally my seat, after ascending the throne, I will let you tear the earth and seal the king, how about it?" ”

In the tone of discussion, the fourth prince Xiahou Lin smiled after hearing it: "Third brother, are you stupid to me?" I'm in this position, maybe it's the closest I've been to this seat in my life, and you've made me give it up and bow down to you? Ripping the Ground and Sealing the King? Since ancient times, the heavenly family has been affectionate, and the matter of fratricidal brotherhood is still in front of you, and today you agreed, and if you want to kill me one day, it's just a matter of words. ”

The three princes have no way to refute it, after all, this is the case, the emperor's house is the most ruthless, and there is still some affection between them today, but in the future, it is not necessarily true that it is still true.

Before the third prince wanted to say something, a soldier rushed in: "Third Highness, the Taifu Mansion and the Taishi Mansion are in the water, the Taishi Lord is in service, and the imperial concubine has fainted." ”

Taifu Mansion is Queen Lin's maiden home, and Taishi Mansion is the maiden home of the third prince's mother and concubine, Taishi is his grandfather, and the third princess is Wei Yingxue, more than a year ago, the third prince married Wei Yingxue as the imperial concubine, and now she is five months pregnant.

"What's the matter, aren't the prince's people already under control?"

In the end, it was his beloved imperial concubine, and she was still pregnant with her sister-in-law, and the third prince couldn't help but be nervous, but at this moment, the fourth prince suddenly made a move.

"Poof." A sword pierced the abdomen of the third prince.

"Your Highness!" The guards were shocked, and hurriedly drew their swords and stabbed towards the four princes, and the people of the four princes immediately surrounded them, and the people on both sides who had just cooperated with each other instantly faced each other, and a fight began again.

The third prince was caught off guard by being stabbed, his body slowly fell to the ground, and he turned his head slightly, seeing the eyes of the fourth prince who had been completely blinded by the desire for power.

At that moment, the third prince felt a little ridiculous today.

Obviously, they are all running for this position today, killing relatives and seizing power, obviously they have done so much, their father is dead, and the prince is also dead in their hands, and he should actually talk to Xiahou Lin about brotherhood.

Sure enough, if you are not vicious enough, you are not ruthless enough, and you can't sit in that position.

The three princes fell, and the only ones left were the four princes.

Xiahou Lin glanced at the crown prince and the third prince lying on the ground, strode directly over them and walked onto the dragon chair, lifted his clothes and sat up, the long sword in his hand slammed on the ground, and his voice was loud: "Now the overall situation is in the hands of this hall, and it is futile for you to resist, this hall does not want to see fearless casualties, so Ling Er and others immediately put down their weapons, and those who surrender will not be killed." ”

The prince died, and all the people in the prince's line were eliminated, and now that the third prince is dead, the people in his line still have strength, but the masters are gone, and if they continue to fight, they will only give their lives in vain.

Originally, there were still a few people who were unwilling, but most of them didn't want to die, and they gradually stopped.

General Zhennan was originally the person of the three princes, but the situation in front of him, this is no longer important, looking at Xiahou Lin, who has already sat on the dragon chair, he understands that this is the final winner of this battle, he is a military general, and he originally followed the three princes in order to mix a dragon merit, if he is obsessed with the three princes at this moment and offends the new emperor, it is obviously too worthless.

Then he knelt down on one knee: "The last general is willing to follow the four highnesses, saddle the horse for the four highnesses, and never give up." ”

Xiahou Lin naturally likes such acquaintances very much, and smiled with satisfaction: "General Zhennan is brave and invincible, and he is naturally the pillar of my Chu State, but the title of the general should be changed." ”

What is the name of it? Isn't that clear?

Now that there are no four princes, it should be the new emperor.

General Zhennan had already knelt down, so he was naturally open-minded, and he was about to shout 'Emperor' immediately, but before his words could be spoken, an arrow galloped over his head and shot directly at Xiahou Lin on the dragon chair.

"Ding!"

Xiahou Lin also reacted very quickly, and actually dodged the arrow, glaring out of the door: "Who released the arrow?" ”

Without answering him, suddenly the sound of bells and drums suddenly rang, it was the bell of the previous dynasty.

Xia Houlin found out that it was already dawn outside, and the civil and military officials, those people all knew what happened last night, and they should have shrunk at home one by one today, but now they appeared here neatly in court clothes.

Someone went to carry the corpses of the crown prince and the third prince Xia Houlin didn't care, Xia Houlin stood in the position of the dragon chair, looking at the civil and military officials who came neatly, the whole person couldn't help but tremble, is this what it feels like to stand on the dragon chair and be worshiped by the civil and military officials?

The army was separated on both sides, and the civil and military officials walked in with a solemn face, but in fact, there were already a lot of people missing, such as Lin Taifu and Wei Taishi did not come, and there were several officials from the prince's faction, all of which did not appear.

However, what is surprising is that Prime Minister Mu Cheng appeared, and the eldest son of Wei Taishi also appeared, as if he didn't know that the third prince was dead, but the face was easy to see that it was the person who had just died of his father.

A group of officials lined up in battle, and Xiahou Lin stood on it, as if in a dream, but was woken up by Mu Tingyi's words: "Fourth Highness, what are you doing standing there?" ”

Xiahou Lin instantly came back to his senses, clenched his fists to suppress the excitement in his heart, and looked at Mu Tingzhi: "Mu Xiang, you should call me the new emperor."

Mu Tingzhi flicked his sleeves and sneered: "Is the Fourth Highness joking with the prime minister?" You are the new emperor, dare to ask if there is an edict of succession? ”

"You ......" Xiahou Lin was angry, he didn't expect that at this time, Mu Tingzhi actually said this to him: "My father was assassinated by the sixth brother, and I didn't have time to make an edict to pass on the throne, and now only this palace can preside over the overall situation, so it is natural to ascend the throne, why don't you want to rebel?" ”

Shangshu, who was already in Xiahou Lin's faction, shook his head: "The rebel ministers naturally don't dare, and I'm here to welcome the new emperor at this moment." ”

Xia Houlin's heart instantly felt comfortable, his chin was raised, waiting to be bowed down.

However, Prime Minister Mu Cheng arched his hand: "I respectfully ask His Royal Highness Sixth to announce the edict." ”

Xiahou Lin's face changed suddenly, what is the Sixth Highness, what is the edict?
