The fierce wife is in power: the general should not try to escape

Chapter 454 Killing the Father
The corpses in the emperor's palace were placed on the floor, and the rest were thrown into the battle, but there were too few people in black, and they were gradually defeated under the siege of the imperial army, and their souls returned to the sword.

The prince looked at the big hole in the roof with a dark and unpredictable expression: "Someone has escaped, let me chase him, and I must take down the assassin! It is best to capture him alive, if he cannot be caught, he will die, and I will never let him go." Anyone who dares to hurt the emperor!" After finishing speaking, the prince turned around abruptly and dealt with the last man in black.

Hearing the prince's order, several imperial guards immediately ran out and searched the palace.The prince was looking at the passage with deep eyes, making it difficult for people to see what he was thinking.

Looking at the commander of the forbidden army, the prince said: "Father must have hid in the secret room, you go in with me and see how father is."

As soon as the words fell, the prince was not afraid that the commander of the imperial army would not follow him, so he went straight to the passage.

After waiting to enter the secret room, seeing the emperor lying on the ruins, the prince's face changed drastically, and he hurried to the emperor's side, leaning the emperor half on his body. "Father? Are you okay, Father?"

Saying so, the prince looked up and down at the emperor.With the crown prince's ability, when he came into contact with the emperor, he found that the emperor was not dead, but passed out in a coma.Therefore, when supporting the emperor, the crown prince quietly pressed his hand on the emperor's neck, and a single effort turned the emperor from a coma to a complete death.

This sounds like a long time, but in fact it is only a moment.When the commander of the forbidden army came in, what he saw was the crown prince holding the emperor's corpse and screaming.In that way, who would have thought that it was the prince who finally ruined the emperor's life?Therefore, although Liu Fu slandered the prince, the final result was that the prince killed his father by coincidence.

An hour later, a group of officials rushed to the emperor's bedroom, but what they saw was the pale emperor lying on the bed.The crown prince didn't ask someone to change clothes for the emperor, so the fact that the emperor held a sword in his heart was clearly displayed in front of everyone, making people subconsciously accept that the emperor died at the hands of an assassin.

As for the corpses of the imperial guards and men in black, they had been disposed of long ago, and the messy bedroom had also been tidied up.

"How could this kind of thing happen in the palace? What do you eat for the imperial army? You let the assassin swagger and kill the emperor!" Li Qiguang is the most jealous, and he doesn't care what the scene is right now. He just shouted at the commander of the imperial army. .

Regarding this, the rest of the people did not say a word, even the crown prince and Shangguan Zhenyu were silent, as if they did not hear Li Qiguang's words.It's just that whether the crown prince and Shangguan Zhenyu have the same thoughts is not certain.

The commander of the imperial army was already guilty and blamed himself, but now that Li Qiguang said this, his heart sank and he knelt on the ground.After all, he is not timid, nor is he confused, knowing that it is better to say something useful than to admit his mistakes now.

In this way, the commander of the forbidden army said with a gloomy expression: "The palace is heavily guarded, and the emperor has stepped up the guard recently. If the assassin can still come in, it means that there are spies in the palace! And, in the end, an assassin escaped, if it wasn't for the spies. , that assassin will never escape the encirclement!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was even more silent. Li Qiguang looked at the commander of the imperial army with anger in his eyes, but suddenly he was speechless.

In this silence, the prince suddenly stood up, turned to face the crowd, his face was full of anger towards the assassin and sorrow for the death of the emperor. "Li Qiguang, as the admiral of the Nine Gates, I want you to immediately search for the whereabouts of the fish that slipped through the net, and bring him back alive. I want to know who is so daring to kill in the palace!"

"Liu Tianping, as the commander of the imperial army, you can't even stop more than 20 people. You let the emperor die. The crime is heinous! But it is troublesome now, I will spare your life for the time being, you have to be more careful, This kind of thing cannot happen again!"

As he said that, the prince looked at Shangguan Zhenyu again, but his eyes were much more complicated.

"Lord Zuo Xiang, the father died under the thieves, in your opinion, what should we do now?"

Hearing these words, almost everyone turned their attention to Shangguan Zhenyu, hoping that Shangguan Zhenyu could come up with a good solution.Regarding this, Shangguan Zhenyu sighed in his heart, but he was helpless.

He took a deep look at the prince, no matter how the emperor died, the prince was responsible for this matter.For such a person, the desire to retreat in his heart became stronger and stronger.But right now, he still needs to endure.

Frowning brows lightly, Shangguan Zhenyu said calmly: "The death of the emperor is no small matter. If it gets out, the hearts of the people will be shaken, which will be extremely unfavorable to the current situation. And...the country cannot live without a king, His Royal Highness should do it sooner." The plan is!"

After hesitating for a while, Shangguan Zhenyu still said this sentence, and hoped that the crown prince would read it because he helped him at this juncture, so that there would be less trouble when he retired and returned to his hometown in the future.Thinking of this, Shangguan Zhenyu's expression became more profound.

Everyone present was transparent, so how could they not know the meaning of Shangguan Zhenyu's words.Glancing at each other, everyone knelt down at the same time, and Dali Temple Qing Wang Junzhi was the first to speak: "Your Highness is the heir apparent, and it is the will of God and the will of the people to ascend the throne at this time. Please think of the common people, Your Highness. Immediate enthronement!"

"His Royal Highness, please ascend the throne today!"

A group of people knelt down in Wuyangyang, and everyone spoke in unison, and they all called the prince to ascend the throne.

Looking at the crowd, the prince's expression was dark and unpredictable, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy.After pondering for a while, the prince just said: "Unfortunate things happen in the sky, and I never thought that my father would have an accident at this time. Right now Zhang Cheng is watching, and [-] soldiers and horses are waiting outside the capital city. Get messed up."

"So, according to what everyone said, I will ascend the throne tomorrow and vow to kill the person who assassinated the emperor and Zhang Cheng and others under the sharp knife, so as to comfort the soul of the emperor in heaven!"

Although the emperor was killed by the killer himself, the crown prince really hated people like Zhang Cheng and Zhao Xuanran.In the final analysis, the crown prince cared about the common people. If the emperor did not have the intention to kill the crown prince this time, the crown prince would not kill the emperor either.After all, he is his biological father, and the prince has some affection for the emperor in his heart.

It's just that it's useless to say anything now, the emperor is dead, and the crown prince is about to ascend the throne according to his own wishes.Everything will become different.

The courtiers dispersed quickly, and they all went to deal with the enthronement tomorrow, while the prince stayed in the emperor's bedroom, personally washed the blood off the emperor's body, and put on clean clothes.In this way, it can be regarded as fulfilling his last filial piety.
