Chapter 374: Smooth
The second prince ordered a team of men to go in to check the situation.
After knowing the space-time camp in front of him, the second prince had already begun to regret it. If only I had received the decree beforehand, I would have returned.
Only now did he think of the reason why the emperor had asked him to go back before, maybe the emperor had already grasped the news of the Dragon Slaying Alliance. But after thinking about it, where did the people of the Dragon Slayer League run to? How could they suddenly disappear?
Thinking of this, the second prince immediately asked people to ask about the situation of the Taizhou General Army. And when the news came, the soldiers and horses of Taizhou did not see anyone from the Dragon Slayer League at all.
The second prince panicked in his heart, and the people of the Dragon Slayer League disappeared, and it was very likely that they had entered Jinling City. And the emperor asked him to go back, most likely because he knew the traces of the Dragon Slaying Alliance.
If this is the case, has the emperor ever seen the crown prince? Thinking about it, the second prince felt that something was wrong in his heart! He would rather make a mistake in his own judgment than rashly go to Jinling City, and if he was directly arrested by the emperor, he would not have any hope of turning over.
Fortunately, he now has the power of the army in his hands!
The second prince refused to take the risk and went back directly, so he simply didn't do anything.
"Someone! Give an order to the Taizhou general army, the Dragon Slaying League rebel party has infiltrated Jinling City, we are fooled! Immediately let the Taizhou general soldier bring someone to the prince to rescue the driver!" The second prince said to the herald.
The herald agreed, this kind of thing is not trivial, and he did not dare to delay at all, and quickly went to the direction where the Taizhou general army was stationed to give the order.
After the general soldiers of Taizhou received the news of the second prince, they were greatly shocked in their hearts, and they doubtfully guessed the meaning of the emperor's holy decree. He was even more suspicious in his heart, but he was scheming, and after thinking about it, he took the soldiers and horses to meet the second prince.
After the second prince saw the general army of Taizhou, the two joined forces and marched quickly towards Jinling City.
The emperor locked up the house with the castle guards and the head of the Imperial Forest Army and secretly talked about it for a long time. Gonggong Hu was waiting outside anxiously, and the emperor never looked for him.
When the door of the temple opened again, the two generals left with solemn expressions.
Gonggong Hu hurriedly took the opportunity to go in, served tea and poured water for the emperor, and rubbed his back and shoulders, secretly observing the emperor's reaction, the emperor's face was solemn, and he couldn't see anything at all.
"You let the crown prince come to see me!" the emperor said suddenly after closing his eyes for a while.
The second monk of Hu's father-in-law couldn't figure it out. What kind of wind is the emperor smoking today, mysteriously talking one by one......
The prince soon came to the temple. The emperor talked to the crown prince about governing the country and securing the country. The crown prince said the truth, and the emperor finally had a smile on his face.
Suddenly, a general came to tell him that a large number of soldiers and horses had been found outside Jinling City.
The emperor angrily reprimanded: "Nonsense! The soldiers and horses near my Jinling are all controlled by the second prince, and suddenly a large number of soldiers and horses come, can you find out that it is the second prince!"
The general immediately retreated, but within a moment of incense, the general came to report again: "It is confirmed that outside the city is the second prince's troops, but the number is more than five times more than when he left the city, and the people and horses of several nearby states and counties and Taizhou are among them!"
The emperor suddenly became anxious, and he was really heartbroken! Sure enough, when he gave the second prince military power, he brought people to surround the imperial city! As the emperor and his father, his heart was simply dripping blood!
"Prince, what do you think about this matter?" the emperor suddenly asked the prince.
"Father, don't be impatient, King Xian may have other intentions......"
Without waiting for the prince to finish speaking, the emperor said: "You still want to intercede for him? Jinling City has nothing to do, he gathered tens of thousands of troops to besiege Jinling, what else can he say except rebellion?"
The prince prostrate on the ground and no longer speak, and in the face of an angry king, no matter what kind of advice he admonishes, it will not end well! The prince made the wisest choice.
The emperor struggled for a while before he said, "You take all the soldiers and horses of Jinling City, and bring the head of King Xian, a rebel, to me!"
The crown prince was stunned for a long time, as an impostor, the emperor suddenly asked him to kill King Xian, and he was shocked in his heart.
Although he guessed King Xian's intentions, he is now the crown prince, and if he kills King Xian, he will be the rightful prince, and he will be able to inherit the throne openly in the future......
"What are you doing coldly? Why don't you go quickly? Don't you want the prince to kill King Xian and ask me to go to the city gate to supervise the battle myself?" said the emperor angrily.
The prince hurriedly took the order and withdrew.
As the prince went to the city gate, there was a fierce struggle in his heart. But in the end, I thought that the lives of those masters under the second prince and everyone in his family were in the hands of King Xian. Even if he kills King Xian, he can't save his relatives.
Thinking of this, the prince sighed softly, "It's not mine, it's not mine."
With a headless sigh in his mouth, the guard attendant next to him looked at him blankly.
The crown prince knew that these people were all people of the second prince, nominally to protect himself, but in fact to monitor whether he was sincere to the second prince. If you have a killing intent against the second prince, I am afraid that the second prince is not dead yet, and he will die first!
Coming to the city wall, the crown prince and the second prince shouted in the air.
The crown prince repeatedly persuaded the second prince to withdraw and leave, but the second prince insisted that there were spies of the Dragon Slayer League in the city. The two of them have their own reasons, and neither of them can say that they can't move the other.
There are not many troops in Jinling City, and the army outside can't fight!
And the second prince outside did not attack the city, so he said that there were people from the Dragon Slayer League in the city, and he wanted to save him!
In fact, when the second prince saw that it was the crown prince on the city wall, his heart was sweeter than drinking honey. According to the half-day temptation, he was sure that his affairs had not been revealed, so the prince in front of him was still his own person. As long as the crown prince opens the city gate at night, the second prince can drive straight into the palace with men and horses, and the position of the great treasure is at his fingertips.
accompanied the prince to act under Jinling City until dark, and the second prince called Jin to collect his troops, so that everyone could rest quickly.
Of course, the people around the second prince knew the thoughts of the second prince, and the general soldiers of Taizhou were silent on the surface, but only then did they know the emperor's thoughts.
In the middle of the night, the prince led people to open the city gate, and everyone was caught off guard, and those who did not obey were immediately killed by the guards behind him!
The second prince asked the Taizhou general army to take over the defense of the city gate, and he and the prince led people into the palace together.
The crown prince and queen of Cining Palace lived in the harem and also knew what was happening outside. The prince guessed that there must be movement at night, and walked around in a hurry in Cining Palace.
When the second prince came to the palace, someone had already opened the door to let him go. The second prince ran all the way, his own people were unimpeded, and it didn't take long to take over the defense of the palace.
Seeing that the entire palace was under his control in a blink of an eye, the second prince seemed to have seen himself in a dragon robe. (To be continued.) )
