In fact, when Song Li was in Nanzhou, he had already reached an agreement with Zhan Long. The Holy Emperor can not pursue the previous sins of the war dragon, but the premise is that he must form an alliance with the Holy Emperor to deal with Prince Zhong together. This is a great opportunity for War Dragons.

Anyway, he and Prince Zhong don't deal with each other very well, and if he helps the Holy Emperor to suppress the rebellion, he will be able to get away with the crime, so why not? With the participation of the war dragon, it is definitely a big help. But in what way he participates is a question.

Later, Song Li came up with an idea, since Prince Zhong had sent an envoy to Nanzhou to win over the war dragon, proving that his idea was the same as that of the Holy Emperor, he also wanted to get the help of King Jingnan. Then you might as well plan and let Zhan Long play a double-sided undercover agent, so that you can disintegrate Prince Zhong's power from within to the greatest extent.

Therefore, they formulated a series of plans, such as Zhan Long leading an army of 200,000 to the north, demanding that the Holy Emperor hand over the hostages, and clashing with Song Li on the streets of the imperial capital, and finally the Holy Emperor sent troops to besiege the war palace. This series of actions created an illusion to the outside world, that is, the war dragon was cornered by the Holy Emperor.

At this time, Prince Zhong thought that there was no second way for Zhan Long to go except to cooperate with him. That's when I came to the door and invited me personally. And the war dragon also hit it off. It was precisely because of the previous series of events that Prince Zhong trusted Zhan Long very much, and even revealed some of his secret plans to Zhan Long. made the Holy Emperor's side arrange countermeasures in advance and seize the opportunity everywhere.

Prince Zhong's eyes erupted into flames, staring at Song Li on the city tower. It's this bastard thing again. How many times has he ruined his own good deeds? Although the Holy Emperor is hateful, in the eyes of Prince Zhong, he is far less hateful than Song Li.

"What do you mean by looking at me with such eyes?" Song Li didn't forget to tease Prince Zhong at this time, and said with a smile: "If you can calculate others, others will naturally be able to calculate you." You're only allowed to set fires, and no one else is allowed to light the lights, what kind of bastard logic is this?"

"Boy, don't be so arrogant, sooner or later, one day, I will cut you to pieces. Prince Zhong gritted his teeth with hatred.

"I'm sorry, this time, I'm afraid you don't have a chance. Song Li shrugged his shoulders indifferently. Who can be frightened by this level of threat?

Prince Zhong no longer paid attention to Song Li, turned his eyes to look at Luo Bin beside Zhan Long, and said coldly: "Luo Shangshu, did you betray me too?"

Luo Bin, the secretary of the military department, has always been the descendant of Prince Zhong, but this relationship is lurking in the dark.

According to the system of the Holy Lion Empire, the mobilization of an army of more than 5,000 people requires the seal of His Majesty the Holy Emperor and the Military Department Shangshu at the same time. If Luo Bin was still his man, then he would definitely know about the ambush that the Storm Legion had transferred to ambush near the imperial capital. But he did not report to Prince Chung. Therefore, Prince Zhong concluded that Luo Bin also rebelled.

"Not a mutiny. Luo Bin said in a deep voice: "Luo has always been His Majesty's person. ”

Another dead undercover agent. Prince Zhong originally thought that the relationship between Luo Bin and himself was lurking in the dark, but he didn't expect Luo Bin's real identity to be an undercover agent of the Holy Emperor.

He looked around, and now he couldn't figure out who else was an undercover agent of the Holy Emperor. Including Song Xingyun, he couldn't believe it.

It was only at this moment that he finally recognized that he had failed. The 150,000 army under his command, the 100,000 city guards have been controlled by the 200,000 army of Zhan Long, and the 50,000 guards now seem to be more than lucky. Otherwise, with them guarded, the Stormwind Legion would not have driven straight in.

What distressed him the most was that the dead soldiers in the base he had carefully cultivated were also eliminated by Song Li, a bastard, who didn't know what means to use.

At present, the only reliance is the 20,000 cavalry around him. However, what chance of victory can these 20,000 cavalry have in the face of the invincible field cavalry of Wei Qianli? Even if they can defeat the Storm Legion, there are still more than 20,000 Imperial City Janissaries behind them.

They have become besieged and alone, and there is no way for anyone to come to their rescue.

The Holy Emperor quietly watched the situation under the city tower, in fact, there were 200,000 troops of War Dragons, and if they had calculated or not, they could completely wipe out the city guards and guards. But he couldn't fully trust the war dragon, what if he came to the city and turned to attack the imperial city? The main purpose is to contain the 200,000 army of the war dragon.

Although from a military point of view, this move is purely superfluous, military operations have always served politics. He didn't see anything wrong with it.

Looking at the generals of the empire, only Wei Qianli can wrestle with the war dragon.

In fact, War Dragon also knew this, but he had no objection to the Holy Emperor's decision. This time he came to the imperial city, and only led 500 personal guards, leaving most of the troops outside the city. The situation was bad enough. He couldn't let the Holy Emperor have any suspicions about him again.

At this time, the Blue Shield Knights also stopped killing the rebels, organized their ranks, and gathered around the elders. Now that the situation is clear, there is no need for them to intervene anymore.

Duke Levi took Li Weikang and Li Ke and led hundreds of remnants of the army to surround Prince Zhong.

The old duke's face was dejected, he knew that this time the mutiny was a complete failure, and there was no possibility of turning the tables around. Everything fell into the calculations of the Holy Emperor. Of course, you can't ignore Song Li's kid.

At the beginning, he crippled his son, and he has not recovered yet. There was also a personal enmity between the Duke and him. None of that makes sense now. Their Li family will be swept into the dust of history along with Prince Zhong, who failed in this mutiny.

He felt like his heart was dripping blood. Since the founding of the country, the Li family has been the most prominent family in the empire, and after several generations of accumulation, it has unparalleled influence in the army, but this time, this increasingly prosperous family is afraid to be destroyed in his hands.

Standing on the wrong team and following the wrong person is a taboo for ********. He is old, it doesn't matter, it's the younger generation of the Li family. They have a bright future and are full of vitality, but this time, it is inevitable that they will be affected.

Ever since the princes were vying for the crown, the Li family has always stood firmly by Prince Zhong's side. When the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, knowing that the Li family had two hearts, he still entrusted him with important tasks. On the one hand, it is to show his generosity, and on the other hand, the Li family's military power is intertwined, and it really affects the whole body. There's no hard reason to cut them out.

This mutiny is a great opportunity. The Holy Emperor will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to uproot the Li family. The charge of treason is enough to make a family disappear completely.

The old duke had already seen the bloody storm of the future, his waist collapsed, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old.

"General Wei, the old man asked you something...... his lips trembled, and his voice trembled uncontrollably: "My second brother Weijian, how is it now?"

He knew that Li Weijian led the guards to defend the inner city, and the captain of the Storm Legion drove straight in, but he was afraid that the guards would be more auspicious.

"He died in battle in the manner of a soldier, and did not lose the prestige of the ancestors of the Li family. Wei Qianli said in a deep voice.

"Good...... Good job......" The old duke shook his body on horseback a few times, and the death of his brother made him disheartened.

The gates of the imperial city suddenly opened, and a group of golden-feathered knights streamed out of the city, lined up, echoing the storm cavalry, and surrounded Prince Zhong's 20,000 cavalry.

"Fight, or surrender?" the Holy Emperor halberd pointed at Prince Zhong and shouted angrily.

Prince Zhong looked at Levi, and the old duke was hunched up, his head lowered, and he didn't care about everything around him, looking more sad than dead. Count Li Weikang's face was as pale as earth, looking up at the sky, and he stood still. It seems that they can't be counted on anymore.

Prince Zhong set his eyes on Song Xingyun, the king of Kangjun.

"Fifth brother...... I think it's better to fall, stay in the green mountains, and I'm not afraid of running out of firewood...... If we fight hard, we don't have any chance of winning. Song Xingyun said in a low voice.

"Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood to burn......" Prince Zhong repeated these words, and his heart was a little moved. If he chooses to fight, although he has 20,000 iron cavalry, there is a storm field army in front and an imperial city guard in the back.

Choosing to surrender can also be exchanged for a glimmer of opportunity. Prince Zhong himself is a banner, and as long as he does not die, the henchmen in the government and the opposition will find a way to save him. He still has hope of making a comeback.

Just as he was hesitating, the Holy Emperor on the castle tower spoke: "Prince Zhong, didn't you always think that my throne was stolen from you? ”

"The truth, what the truth?" Prince Zhong looked at the Holy Emperor with alarm, not knowing what trick he wanted to play.

"The Emperor's Edict. The Holy Emperor said lightly: "You have never believed that the Emperor left an edict, in fact, this one does. ”

"No way. Prince Zhong sneered: "If there is, why didn't you take it out earlier?"

"Because this edict cannot be made public. The Holy Emperor said: "The Emperor has made it clear that it cannot be made public until a certain time. ”

"What counts as a certain time?"

"Now, that's it......" The Holy Emperor beckoned, and the chamberlain behind him handed over a rectangular sandalwood box, and the Holy Emperor opened the box and took out a bright yellow cloth roll from it.

He opened the cloth scroll, and on the reverse side were written the words "Edict". The Holy Emperor said in a deep voice: "After my death, it was passed on to the second prince Song Xingtian. The fifth prince Song Xingchen has a rebellion in the back of his head, if he has the intention of rebellion, you will kill him. Avoid future troubles. （http：／／.）。 ”

After reading the edict of the first emperor, the Holy Emperor raised his head, looked at Prince Zhong coldly, and said lightly: "The first emperor is wise, he has long seen that you have objections, but I care about my brotherhood and have never been able to bear to kill you. I didn't expect it to be today's disaster. It seems that I am not decisive enough compared to the previous emperor. ”

Prince Zhong's body shook a few times on the horse's back, until he felt that his eyes were dark, and his throat was filled with a sense of fishy heat, and he opened his mouth to spurt out a mouthful of blood......

All along, he thought that the emperor's favorite son was him, and this throne should have belonged to him. Song Xingtian must have used some conspiracy to deceive the first emperor, so he snatched the throne. Not only him, but also many people in the government and the opposition suspected that there was something wrong with this matter, because the Holy Emperor was reluctant to come up with the edict of the previous emperor.

Now I understand that it is not that he refuses to produce the edict, but that the content of the edict really cannot be made public. At a time when Prince Zhong was still an important minister in the court, could such an edict be made public? Now that Prince Zhong openly raised troops to rebel, he was already a rebellious minister, so there was no need to have any scruples.
