Doting on concubines and destroying wives? I don’t want to be the mistress of the Hou clan anymore.

Chapter 147 Deterrence

The eldest prince didn't want to do anything to the people in the capital, so he controlled all the officials and asked the officers and soldiers to drive the people home. The roads soon became empty.

Duke Dingguo led his troops through the city gate very quickly and surrounded the imperial city.

The gate of the capital city is easy to open, but the gate of the imperial city is not so easy to knock on.

After surrounding the palace, the eldest prince sent people to look for the prince.

He planned to kill the prince first and then force the emperor to write a Zen edict.

"Your Highness, the whereabouts of the prince have been confirmed. He is at the Jinwu Guard camp. It is said that he is interrogating prisoners and has not had time to return to the imperial city."

The eldest prince smiled warmly, but what he said was extremely cold: "He is as sensible as ever, which saves me from going door to door to arrest him."

A large group of people surrounded Jin Wuwei again.

Soldiers knocked on the door, but the people inside did not respond, but held the door tightly.

Several health center buildings have five-meter walls and observation towers on the walls.

It was originally designed to prevent prisoners from escaping.

Now, it can be considered a defendable place.

The prince ignored Gu Zhao's objection and insisted on climbing to the observation tower. Although he accepted what Gu Zhao had said before, his mind still stubbornly wanted to ask why.

In this situation, he is no longer as naive as before, thinking that he can't do anything.

Gu Zhao and Dong Xuan were guarding the prince.

The two brothers looked at each other across the five-meter city wall.

"Brother, do you really want to kill me?"

The eldest prince sneered, and couldn't help but think in his heart that he was still so naive and simple, and at this time, he would still ask such a question.

"Isn't this an obvious thing?" The eldest prince said a little casually. He still had the same gentle attitude, and it was a little unclear whether he was pretending to do it or whether it was a disguise that had been engraved in his bones.

"If you want that throne, I can give it to you." The prince frowned and said, "I don't care about it at all."

"Yes, you don't care about it." The sarcasm on the eldest prince's face became more obvious: "But the things you don't care about were given to you by your father personally and requested by the second sister personally. She said, if it weren't for you If you ascend the throne, our Xia Kingdom will probably have its first female emperor. She threatens my father and wants you to become the emperor! "

"These things you despise, these things you despise... are the things I can't get even with all my strength."

Looking at the indifferent and confused face, the eldest prince was a little hysterical. In front of the many soldiers following him and the Jinwu Guards all over the city, he couldn't keep his hypocritical smile.

"You don't want it, that's because you were born with it!"

The prince was silent. He didn't know what he should say. He actually felt that being a prince, an emperor, or even an ordinary citizen was nothing. People always have their own way of living.

But as the eldest prince said, this throne was placed in front of him. He didn't have to, but it might not fall on the eldest prince.

Neither my father nor my sister would allow me to back down.

But really speaking of his true nature, he would rather be an idle prince.

"If I don't want to be the prince anymore, are you willing to withdraw my troops?" The prince still asked those innocent words. He felt that there might be no need for the brothers to fight against each other. But how can the battle for the throne be resolved with a few simple conversations? This is not a watermelon from the field.

Dong Xuan wanted to persuade the prince, but when he saw that Gu Zhao was just guarding his surroundings quietly and had no intention of speaking, he wisely kept his mouth shut.

"Succeeding as a king and losing as a bandit, do you think it's possible?"

"I won't kill you, brother, I never will!"

"Don't say those hypocritical words, I can't." The eldest prince sneered and peeled off the gentle coat. The stern eldest prince and the prince were at least seventy similar. The two were brothers after all. Their cold faces, They all had the same expression, which made people feel a little confused.

"Are you pretending to be benevolent and righteous?" The prince frowned and whispered, as if he wanted to understand something, and said: "Since peace talks can't solve the problem, brother, let me see how crazy you are by throwing everything at it."

As soon as the prince said this, many archers appeared on the wall, and the artillery hidden in the warehouse was also moved to the top of the city.

The dark hole was aimed at the eldest prince.

His face darkened for a moment. This was a heavy weapon. There were only ten of them in the Xia Kingdom's arsenal. Unexpectedly, there were two of them here.

He supervised the construction of this at the beginning, but because the range was too close, only seven or eight meters away, the matter came to a standstill. Unexpectedly, it was actually used here.

"I didn't expect that in order to deal with me, you would even use this. Aren't you afraid that the enemy's spies would find out?"

"The country is still there, so there are enemy countries." The prince's eyes were calm, and the eldest brother in front of him looked like he couldn't understand.

The eldest prince was not like this when he was a child. He was a good brother who loved and protected his younger brother. He helped cover up any mistakes he made.

Later, it was the second sister who asked for her father's instructions. From now on, she would be responsible for teaching her, and her eldest brother would no longer be able to help her.

Later, when I got older and studied things in books, I realized that those unlimited help to me were not of any benefit to me.

Parents spoil their children like they kill their children.

The second sister said that the eldest brother was still young and didn't know the dangers of such things, so she told herself not to think too much about it, but as a young person, she didn't think too much about it.

Still treat your elder brother respectfully.

"You forget, I supervised the construction and design of this. I already knew its weaknesses."

The prince frowned and said, "Yes, although the longest range is only ten meters, how many people can attack within ten meters?"

"If you don't come in through the front door, brother, are you going to climb over the wall?"

"With a distance of ten meters, my archers can shoot further, but it may be difficult for your archers to shoot from the bottom up!"

"Brother, if you don't retreat, you will be hit by artillery."

Dong Xuan whispered from behind: "How can you say such a thing? They can also bring trebuchets, but they are more deterrent than this artillery, and we only have two cannons here..."

The prince pursed his lips, said nothing, and looked at the eldest prince below.

Gu Zhao said, "The prince's strategy is brilliant. If you tell it, at least those who rebelled with the eldest prince will know what kind of choices they will face. If the eldest prince forces them to attack the city, I am afraid they will end up in an unkind way." This impression will be countered by these people in the future.”

“Cannon is most intimidating when it’s not firing.”
