Chapter 230: Qingjun's side
After the death of the old emperor, the court changed rapidly, and everyone was eyeing the position above the tens of thousands of people.
The vassal king, the prince, and the large-scale Shura field are not far behind the nine sons who have won the heirs.
In order to prevent the ambitious vassal king, the crown prince ordered the mobilization of troops and horses to defend the capital impregnable.
The Praetorian Guards patrolled day and night with knives, and everyone in the palace was so cautious that they didn't even dare to breathe.
The prince hid the two holy decrees, and the concubine's eyeliner saw with her own eyes that the old emperor had drafted an edict to abolish the prince and establish the seven princes as the crown prince, so when the prince continued to use the power of supervision to go to the court, the seventh prince pierced him on the spot and rushed to make the dragon robe in advance, and pointed out that the prince assassinated the old emperor, knowing that the old emperor had a stroke and was recovering, but let the old emperor eat a lot of fatty meat, and conspired with alchemy people to mix chronic poison in the pill. medicine, which caused the old emperor to have a stroke and died.
"Not only that, but the prince and the beauty who paid tribute to the envoy have already secretly crossed Chencang, and the pearl fetus is secretly knotted, which makes me ashamed! Ladies and gentlemen, the crown prince disregarded human morality, plotted the throne, and killed his father, his heart can be punished! ”
Above the court, the seven princes snorted and cried in front of hundreds of officials, tearfully told the prince's cruel behavior, and brought the emperor's imperial doctor to prove that the bowl of fat was coaxed by the prince to persuade the emperor to eat it.
The crown prince was so angry that his chest kept rising and falling, and the seventh prince continued to output: "Don't hide it from you, my father has already told the palace that the prince is not right, and his father has prepared an edict to abolish the prince, but the prince has hidden the holy decree in a vain attempt to hide it from the world!" ”
The Seventh Prince was righteous and awe-inspiring, and shouted: "Prince, do you think that if you hide the abolished holy decree, no one will expose what you have done!" ”
The prince said angrily: "It's nonsense, the imperial doctor obviously didn't tell the father of this palace to avoid eating fatty meat!" The palace is full of filial piety, and when it comes to the mouth of the seventh brother, it becomes a heinous crime, seventh brother, you are slandering the palace! ”
The princelings and the Seven Princes were at loggerheads, and the royalists were suspicious of both factions and dominated by conspiracy theories.
In the first quarter of the hundred officials, the prime minister lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, without saying a word, and the officials of the Nine Emperors watched from the wall.
The court was noisy and shouting, no different from the vegetable market, until the sound of "dong" stopped.
There were royalist officials who hit the pillar to die Mingzhi.
As if a signal, the prince shouted, and the little eunuch took out a holy decree to read, which indicated that after the death of the old emperor, the crown prince ascended the throne.
The Seventh Prince's eyes widened: "Impossible! Father obviously didn't write it like this! I know, the holy decree in your hand, Prince, must be forged! ”
The Seven Princes did not finish their words, and were gagged and dragged down by the guards, and the Seven Princes Party was not convinced, thinking that the prince's methods were too rough and arbitrary, and even if he was the emperor, he had no right to execute the Seven Princes who had not made mistakes.
The crown prince suppressed it with forceful means, and the golden coiling dragon pillar was stained bright red with blood, and the courtiers finally kept their mouths shut.
The crown prince was satisfied, and ordered Qin Tianjian to choose a date and prepare for the enthronement ceremony.
The hundred officials dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, but they did not expect that the next day, the prince announced that he would make the beauty of the old emperor the queen.
For the courtiers who engraved Ji Gang Renren into their DNA, they fiercely opposed them in the court, and the prince had long seen that they were not pleasing to the eye, so he simply broke the jar and broke it, suppressed it, and dismissed the official, and carried out his own way to the end.
The prince is not a love brain, he just took the opportunity to vacate the positions of those old things and replace them with the people under his hands.
Hundreds of officials and courtiers complained, everyone was in danger, the prince's reputation was a mess among the people, and even made up songs, abolished the prince, spoiled the demon concubine, tyranny, and the death of the Chu State.
The song spread all over the streets and alleys overnight, causing panic and public resentment.
When the old emperor was alive, the prince's performance was mediocre in all aspects, and the excellent one was that he rarely made mistakes.
At the beginning, the prince wanted to be a good emperor, a benevolent emperor, but when the old emperor was dying, he changed the crown prince, and the prince was very cold, thinking that he had worked hard for many years, treated his brothers leniently and benevolently, respected his teachers and filial piety to his parents, and when he was one step away from the throne, the old emperor kicked him down.
The old emperor made the prince doubt life, feeling that he was a joke, and his trust and admiration for the old emperor for many years fell apart, according to modern terms, the prince was emotionally broken, and there was a faint trace of depression, and everyone in the court was singing against him, and the prestige of the competitor Seventh Prince was higher than him, and the prince was naturally unconvinced.
The crown prince sent the seventh prince into the Zongren Mansion, and he was weak-hearted, because the old emperor was indeed going to abolish him, so there was no turning back when he opened the bow, and the prince could only use violence to suppress and quickly seize power.
When he gathers power in his hands, he will start to be a good emperor again.
Therefore, when the song reached his ears, the prince gave an order: ban the rumor, and those who violate it will be killed.
A lot of children died in the capital, one second they spoke, the next second they disappeared, and the people were the same as in the palace, everyone was in danger.
Whether it was the court or the people, the voices of dissenting opinions gradually disappeared, and the prince finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a vassal king played the slogan of "Qing Jun's side, Yasukuni is difficult, and kill the demon concubine", seized the sixteen states of Yanyun in one fell swoop, smashed the Yellow Dragon, and camped ten miles away at the foot of the imperial city.
Tomorrow is the crown prince's enthronement ceremony, and the prince will naturally not give up, so he gathers troops and horses to fight with the army outside the imperial city.
The people of the imperial city closed their doors, the fire under the city wall soared into the sky, the arrow rain was dense, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
At the end of the day, a sharp arrow hit the commander of the prince's faction, and the subordinates of the Nine Emperors sent their subordinates to ride horses and shout that the commander was dead, the dragons were leaderless, the army was discouraged, and the city gate was lost.
At the end of the day, the prince was dressed in a dragon robe, accepted the bow of the hundred officials, and before he sat down, he only heard a "bang", the gate of the palace was knocked open, the Janissary Guard led the water, and the iron cavalry surrounded the court effortlessly.
The officials who dared to be angry under the tyranny of the prince burst into tears and immediately reprimanded the prince for his atrocities.
The prince stared at the door, and after a while, a man dressed in armor entered the hall against the light.
When he stood still, the prince's pupils shrank: "Gu Zhen didn't expect it, ninth brother, it turns out that you are the most hidden one...... The orphan and the seventh brother fought to the death...... I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it......"
The person who led 100,000 elite soldiers to Yasukuni was actually the Nine Emperor Princes with crippled legs, and the courtiers were surprised, relieved, and frightened.
The Nine Emperors were holding a long sword, clean and clean, and there was no trace of blood on his face, if he ignored the long sword that was still dripping blood, he thought it was a cynical little marquis.
"Lonely?" The Nine Emperor Princes hooked their lips and smiled, "Waste Prince, don't you still recognize your identity?" ”
He threw out a scroll of holy decrees, and the blood-dripping sword pointed at a person beside him, and said lightly, "Read." ”
The holy decree to be enshrined by ordinary officials was thrown on the ground by him at will, and even stained with blood, which was a great disrespect, but no one stood up to accuse.
The minister was trembling at the sword, trembling for a long time and unable to pick up the holy decree, at this time, the other bony hand picked it up steadily, and the warm voice resounded through the hall:
"The prince's misbehavior is not enough to assume the position of the prince, so he will be announced to heaven and earth, the temple, and abolished."
The prince's face changed: "How can the holy decree be in your hands......"
He looked at the little eunuch beside him abruptly, and suddenly understood.
"Ninth brother, hahahaha, good, good means! Hahahaha-"
The prince's crazy laughter came to an abrupt end, and the Nine Emperor Princes, who had been in a wheelchair all the year round and were physically weak, stabbed his long sword into his heart without any deviation.
