Chapter six hundred and eighty first: Fu Zhu(1/2)
As the old emperor asked, everyone's eyes fell on the prince.
The prince shivered subconsciously, glanced at Wen Changjin beside him, raised his head slightly, and his eyes became more firm.
"Yes, my son thought so too. If you ask your father to abdicate, my son will definitely protect Daliang and be a wise king."
The old emperor raised his head and laughed. The laughter was helpless and full of disappointment.
Zhou Hengzhen was sweating for the old emperor. He had just detoxified, and although there was a medicine to resist, it was useless to have such ups and downs.
"But I am really my good son. Do you know what the person around you are?"
The prince raised his head and looked at the old emperor in confusion. The old emperor paused for a moment and then said:
"It seems you don't know anything. Do you know that he is a remnant of the Wei Kingdom in the previous dynasty. They control the Jinwu Sect and are thinking about rebelling against Liang and restoring Wei?
Do you know that he and Lao Er also had conspiracy with you. Most of the people who appeared in the palace today were from southern Sichuan?
I originally thought that although you are not smart, the key is to be generous and kind. If you hand over the beam to you, you can treat a few brothers well, so that the royal family will not wither and the brothers will be tragic. But now I realize that you are not kind, you are stupid and stupid!
Such a snake and scorpion manipulated you easily, but you didn’t know how I could entrust Daliang’s country to you?”
The prince was stunned, with a look of panic on his face. He looked at the old emperor and looked at Wen Changjin again. Wen Changjin was not afraid of being exposed at all. Instead, he had a proud smile on his face and did not care about the prince's actions.
"Your Majesty is really wise and has a sharp eye, but now it's too late. What you see outside the Yangxin Palace is just the tip of the iceberg. The entire capital, whether it is a dignitary or a royal relative, is controlled by us.
Your Majesty didn't notice it. We stood here and talked for so long, but no one came to ask. Neither the imperial guard nor the guards were escorted, haha!"
Wen Changjin's face was very proud. The prince stood on one side and could see him trembling.
The old emperor was a strict father and was even more harsh on him. He had no smile since he was a child. Now, although he couldn't stand even when he saw him standing, the prince still felt scared.
Seeing Wen Changjin talking to the old emperor like this, he just stared at the old emperor without saying a word.
The old emperor smirked.
"Ha, you are all under your control of the royal relatives. Send troops to guard their respective yards, and you are controlling these people?"
The prince shivered and took a step back. This was a completely subconscious action.
Wen Changjin glanced at the prince's shaking legs and frowned slightly.
Although the prince is easy to control, he really doesn't look like an emperor, but this is not exactly what he needs.
"No matter how I control it, now I'm asking you to be polite in your Majesty, or hurry up and write the abdication edict. At least it can be considered a life left. If I regret it, you are now in a different place!"
As he said that, Wen Changjin raised his hand, and the old emperor stood up straight while wandering, letting go of Fang Jizhong's support, without taking a step back.
"No need to lay such a prelude, there is absolutely no way to have abdication edict. Don't waste your verbal talk, let me see your preparation!"
Wen Changjin seemed not surprised at this answer, but just lowered his head and smiled.
Zhou Heng had a very good look, and suddenly he found that in the last row, several archers were already standing on the shoulders of the front row and aimed directly at the old emperor.
This situation is going to be done directly, but where is the arrangement that the old emperor said?
It’s not like letting the old emperor face it alone, right?
Zhou Heng paused for a few seconds, took two steps forward, stretched out his arms, blocked the old emperor, and waved his hand at Pang Qiyi.
"Eunuch Fang and Pang Qi took His Majesty in and hide, hurry up!"
The old emperor was very surprised when he saw Zhou Heng's actions. Zhou Heng was just a little slippery, even better than him, the old fox, and never put himself in danger.
There was a dead end in front of him, and there were no reinforcements. Although he had promised him, no one appeared at all. He could do this, which really surprised the old emperor.
Wen Changjin narrowed his eyes, snorted coldly, and looked at Zhou Heng with a gaze of viciousness and viciousness!
"What a loyal minister, you are the one who ruined my good deeds several times. The fate of Tiansha Guxing failed to kill you. Since you want to be buried with him, let's go together and shoot arrows!"
As Wen Changjin roared, his arm slid down. Zhou Hengyi closed his eyes and said in his heart, it's over!
However, after pausing for several seconds, no pain was felt on the body.
Zhou Heng quickly opened his eyes. At the same time, the archers in the farthest fell down one by one, followed by the rebels in the back row, and dozens of them fell down in a moment.
Even the well-trained soldiers were confused when they saw this situation. Wen Changjin immediately discovered the problem and looked back, but found nothing.
He suddenly became alert and waved his hand at the person behind him. At this time, to be safe, nothing else was useless. Once the old emperor died, it would be natural for the prince to succeed to the throne.
"rush!"
With this action, everyone behind him raised their weapons and rushed towards the steps.
Just as they were about to reach the bottom of the steps, some generals with silver helmets and silver armor appeared from anywhere around them, instantly blocking the way these people were.
After such a sudden appearance, Wen Changjin widened his eyes and two words appeared in his heart, which was not good!
But now that things have come to this point, there is no way out, so he kicked the prince and shouted viciously.
"If the dog emperor doesn't die, just wait for the prince's mansion and our Wen family to confiscate the family and destroy the clan. What are the prince waiting for?!"
When the prince heard this, he immediately realized that he was going to work hard at this time. He took out a knife from somewhere and rushed up the steps.
Others were rebels, and Wen Changjin might be a criminal slander, but the crown prince was the son of the old emperor after all. Without a killing order, no one dared to hurt him.
But just as he was rushing up to two steps, a man walked out of the general in silver helmet and armor, raised his knife and directly pressed the prince's neck. Then his feet changed a few times, instantly lifted the prince up and twisted his hand behind him.
The prince grinned and shouted in pain, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground.
"Ah, it hurts, let go of me, let go! I am the prince!"
It was okay if I didn't shout this, but after I shouted, I was kicked in the back and I knelt on the ground.
"Beast, you can do such a ruthless thing as killing your father. Today I will kill you for the emperor, and no one will say no!"
When the prince heard this, he was stunned. The emperor's brother completely confused him. His hands were so painful that it seemed to be about to break, but there was a knife on his neck, and all his voices stopped abruptly.
Wen Changjin shivered. The person who understood the most was him. This man was covered with a red cloak outside the silver armor. He stood among the soldiers and generals with a conspicuous look. He looked up at the face of this man and could see the shadow of the five-point emperor.
Wen Changjin's breathing stagnated. This person...is this person actually King Ning?
King Ning was stationed in Datong, how could he appear in the palace? How could this be possible? At that time, he mobilized people to hide his whereabouts, especially if he could not come from the west, because he was afraid of disturbing Datong.
"King Ning?"
At this time, Zhou Heng was already squeezed to the door of Yangxin Palace. He saw silver-armored soldiers and soldiers blocked them tightly and could not see anything. However, when he heard the sound of talking, Zhou Heng sucked and turned to look at the old emperor.
The old emperor had a smile on his face and raised his lips, and he seemed to be very satisfied with Zhou Heng's expression. After all, the little fox was fooled once, and he still felt very accomplished.
"Don't look at me like this. My brothers go to war to fight and father-son soldiers. Someone in the court rebelled. Could you let me wait for death? Naturally, let my fifth brother come back to save the car?"
Zhou Heng blinked his eyes and couldn't say a word. This situation was not planned for a day or two, but he didn't know at all. He was still jumping around here, just like a clown.
But now is not the time to chat. Zhou Heng took a step back and stood on the threshold, regardless of the rules and regulations, stretched his head and looked outside.
Fang Jizhong wanted to film Zhou Heng, but was stopped by the old emperor.
The Datong Army in front of them was increasing in number, far exceeding the rebels in number, and they were all aimed at the rebels with continuous crossbow arrows in their hands.
King Ning took the crown prince and took two steps back to look at the old emperor.
"Your Majesty, will the rebels beheaded?"
The old emperor waved his hand and a fierce look flashed across his face.
"Kill, no one is left!"
King Ning threw the prince in his hand towards the ground. Several generals stepped forward and tied the prince up directly and gave it to you a little eunuch to take care of. King Ning raised the knife in his hand this time.
"Kill me!"
As the word "kill" exited, crossbow arrows were fired in an instant, and the imperial guards surrounding the middle were all shot and fell to the ground. Several dead soldiers pulled Wen Changjin and evacuated to a corner beside the palace wall.
A smile appeared on King Ning's lips, and he rushed over with a knife. The manhole cover beside the palace wall had been opened, and King Ning yelled.
"Wen Changjin, do you want to escape from the secret passage? Don't you think about how we appeared in the palace?"
Wen Changjin was about to go down, but was stunned by the roar. He quickly got up, and the dead soldiers around him fell down again.
The success of the king and the defeat of the enemy, these rebels have dispersed their morale in terms of momentum, so they naturally have no ability to resist. Even if someone wants to break through the siege, they are shot and killed just after running two steps.
King Ning waved his hand and stopped shooting the crossbow arrows. Even though Wen Changjin was well protected, he still got an arrow on his arm, and all the dead soldiers around him were all denied. He knew that the situation was hopeless, but he was very unwilling to accept it.
"This secret passage was left by the King of Wei in the previous dynasty. After all, this secret passage has never been used. How do you know?"
King Ning snorted, his voice as loud as a bell.
"The previous dynasty has destroyed the country for a hundred years, and over the past century, Daliang's national strength has far exceeded that of the Wei Dynasty. Isn't it a fool to subvert Daliang?
Do you think that controlling several participating forces of the Golden Crow Sect and winning over the second prince to hold the crown prince hostage can restore the Wei Kingdom, just a delusion!
As for the underground secret passages, all of them have been controlled by us, and the medicine powder that has dispersed from your skills has been sprinkled on the secret passages you are about to come. Although you are not a top expert, you still know how to fly the eaves and walk on the walls, why don’t you try it?"
Wen Changjin shook his body inadvertently and glanced at the dead soldiers beside him. These were his closest confidants. He didn't think about the crisis just now. Now after thinking about it, everyone really lost the power to fight back.
He even tried to use his internal strength, and there was a colic in his abdomen. He knelt on one knee directly, and all his strength dissipated. It was difficult to stand alone, so he raised his head and looked at King Ning.
"Despicable, you actually use poison!"
Ning Wang smiled, "The word "despicable" is the only one who is present, and the person who comes to throw tinder oil!"
Following the order, Zhou Heng saw a black shadow holding something lit in his hand, and threw it directly under the manhole cover.
With a loud bang, I felt the palace under my feet tremble. Zhou Heng could see that this was nothing else, it was the sulphur bomb he developed himself. It was estimated that the entire underground secret passage had been sprinkled with tin powder or tincture oil, and the secret passage was destroyed by blowing it up.
