Since last year, when the two dynasties of the north and the south fought a great war in Huainan, the two sides have stationed heavy troops on the border and are extremely concerned about the enemy's movements.

For example, He Ruobi, since he became a general, he has been thinking about regaining the lost territory and taking revenge all the time, and he has done his best to investigate the affairs of the Southern Dynasties, from military funds and money to national policies and people's livelihood.

Jiankang City hangs alone on the edge of the Yangtze River, and naturally the spies of the Northern Qi Dynasty are indispensable. Just when He Ruobi thought that there was a high probability that it would be peaceful this year, the spies gave He Ruobi a major news.

Chen Emperor Chen died of illness in Taicheng a day ago, and the crown prince Chen Shubao ascended the throne as emperor.

Since ancient times, the Heavenly Family has been ruthless, especially in this special period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it can be described as a collapse of etiquette, in order to compete for the throne, father and son kill each other, fratricidal things can not be counted.

Similar to the Xuanwumen Incident, Chen Xuan himself was a thief who usurped the throne, and his actions with Chen Qian had already undermined the political mutual trust that Chen Baxian had built up with great difficulty. Even if he took such pains to plan for the crown prince and clear the way when he was seriously ill, he was destined to cause some turmoil after his death, and it was difficult for the imperial power of the Chen State to be handed over smoothly.

Especially Chen Ji's sons, there are still so many, there are forty-two!

I don't know if there will be any emperors in later generations who will surpass him, at least for now, this achievement can be called unprecedented.

There are so many princes, of course, it is impossible for all of them to be well-behaved and obedient, and it is impossible for all of them to have no ideas about their father's throne.

Chen Shuling is undoubtedly one of the most ambitious, Chen Shuling is narrow-minded, cruel, arrogant, the best thing is to pretend, every time he goes to court, in order to win Chen Ji's favor, he always has to pretend to be a good baby in front of Chen Ji, and he can't release the scroll in his hand, and even the horse riding hand has to take a book and read it aloud on the street, Chen Ji is always deceived by his appearance.

But except for Daddy Chen Ji, almost everyone knows what kind of character this king is.

He likes to perform, and usually plays games at home with armor and blades, and he is crazy and has no majesty of a king; He is so beautiful, down to the cardamom girl to the mature beauty, as long as he sees it, he will forcibly plunder people into the house and force them to be concubines; He also has a hobby, tomb robbing, especially the tombs of historical celebrities, and the treasures excavated are innumerable.

No matter how bad Chen Shuling's reputation among the people is, Chen Ji insists that his second child is a good child, he never punishes Chen Shuling, and he just scolds him a few words when he makes too much trouble.

This fueled the ambition of Chen Shuling and his eldest brother Chen Shubao to compete for the throne.

Chen Ji finally realized this before he became seriously ill, and began to gradually remove Chen Shuling from the center of power, in order to compensate for the second child, he gave him the name of Yangzhou Assassin History, and let Chen Shuling supervise the military of Yang, Xu, Dongyang, and Nanyu Prefectures, although it can also be called a high power, but Chen Shuling's goal at the beginning was the throne, how could he be convinced?

Seeing that Chen Shubao ascended the throne and sat in the palace, but he wanted to bow down to his eldest brother, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became.

On dog days, the sun shone obliquely from outside the temple. Chen Shuling looked coldly at the eldest brother who was crying on the body of his father, and suddenly had a vicious idea in his heart, he secretly glanced left and right, and whispered to them to get a sword.

My father has just died, and the forbidden middle school is in chaos, and this is the best time to attack Chen Shubao! As long as he can take advantage of the chaos to kill Chen Shubao, the big position will definitely be vacant, and the court will definitely be in chaos, he can calmly escape from Jiankang, and when he arrives at the fiefdom, he will immediately pull the flag and rebel, I believe that with his strength, none of the remaining forty brothers will be his opponent!

At that time, will there be anyone else who can compete with him for this great position?

Chen Shuling couldn't help but sneer proudly, but after Hu Cong brought the sword, he let Chen Shuling immediately break the defense-they actually brought a wooden sword over!

Chen Shuling was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded: "Could your brain have been kicked by a donkey?" I told you to take the sword, and you gave me this? What am I doing with this, do I want to exorcise ghosts? ”

Left and right said aggrievedly: "The king only said to take the sword, but he didn't say what sword to take." I thought that when His Majesty died, the king probably wanted to do something with the peachwood sword, so he took the peachwood sword. ”

Chen Shuling stared at them viciously, not knowing if they were really stupid, or if they were deliberately pretending to be stupid through their own minds.

But the matter has come to this point, Chen Shuling is ready to send an arrow, since there is no sharp blade in his hand, he can only use local materials. His grim gaze roamed the hall for a while, and suddenly stopped at the frustration knife left by the medical officer.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he secretly took the frustration knife and hid it in his sleeve, and then pretended to be casual and came behind Chen Shubao, and suddenly took out the knife and aimed it at the back of Chen Shubao's neck and slashed it fiercely, shouting while chopping:

"Uncle Chen is dead!"

Although Chen Shuling's momentum is sufficient, the timing of his action can be called unexpected, but no one is allowed to carry a sharp knife in and out of the palace, even the medical officer's frustration knife is no exception, this knife is okay to chop medicinal materials, but if you want to cut people and cause death and injury, you can only say that you think too much.

Chen Shubao was immediately cut and fainted by him, and Chen Shuling saw that Chen Shubao was not dead, and wanted to make up for a few knives.

Chen Shubao's biological mother, Queen Liu, was next to her, and when she saw this, she hurriedly pounced on Chen Shubao's knife and cried loudly: "You unfilial son, your grandfather's bones are not cold, are you so eager to jump out and kill your eldest brother?" ”

Chen Shuling could listen to it, he had been carried away by ambition and jealousy, and after he stabbed Queen Liu several times, he was finally stopped by the people who reacted, and the ones who rushed to the front were Chen Shubao's nurse Wu and Chen Shubao's other brother Chen Shujian.

Chen Shujian's mother, Ho, was born as a wine buyer, and her status can be described as lowly, and Chen Shuling often laughed at him for his background, so Chen Shujian and Chen Shuling have always been incompatible.

As early as just now, when Chen Shuling ordered to take the sword left and right, Chen Shujian had already noticed that Chen Shuling's performance was wrong, so he paid close attention to Chen Shuling's every move, and when Chen Shuling burst out, he immediately took action, Wu tightly hugged Chen Shuling's waist, and Chen Shujian choked Chen Shuling's throat, took away the frustration knife in his hand, and punched him with old fists.

Chen Shujian is quite strong, Chen Shuling has been trained in the army, but he is not Chen Shujian's opponent, he was beaten by Chen Shujian and staggered back, and took off his robe and twisted it into a rope, tying Chen Shuling to the pillar.

At this time, Chen Shubao woke up slowly, the first thing the prince who had actually become the lord of the Southern Dynasty woke up was not to deal with the second brother who was rebellious and chaotic, but to flee for his life, wanting to stay away from this dangerous place as soon as possible, the forty-odd brothers present were dumbfounded, and they couldn't take care of Chen Shuling, and hurriedly went to arrest Chen Shubao.

Due to the lack of supervision, everyone went to chase Chen Shubao, and Chen Shuling had to escape.

As soon as he thought about it, Chen Shubao had just been assassinated, and it was when he was uncertain and frightened, and when he regained his senses, he would definitely not let go of himself, and now it was obviously unrealistic to escape to the fiefdom, so he simply didn't do anything.

At this moment, he was in Jiankang, and he was against him!
