The Devil's Coming [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 70 The Uncrowned King 36
At this time, Qian Ning Hall was surrounded.
The palace lights in the palace are bright, and the shadows of the swords are reflected on the walls, together with the figures holding swords, showing a weird and ferocious shape. Emperor Huiming, who was mercilessly surrounded by many guards, looked ugly. Although he tried his best to maintain his usual composure, the look of shock and anger in his eyes could not be concealed.
He looked at the other person with eyes that were almost on fire:
"You are unfaithful and unfilial, are you going to kill the king?!"
The man just let out a careless sneer.
In the past, when Emperor Huiming looked at him, everyone in the world would not be shocked and frightened. Wasn't even him in the past being toyed with and applauded? He was very nervous every day, not daring to make a wrong move for fear of offending the emperor. Once he seized the opportunity, he would do everything possible to show off, hoping to win the emperor's favor. And if the emperor scolded him like this, he would really have to kneel down and kowtow until he died, unless the emperor took back his words.
But the person he is now is not the person he used to be.
Even the emperor has become his prisoner, what else is he afraid of?
"Father, there is no need to delay." The eldest prince, who was wearing a prince's python robe, said unceremoniously, "Write it! Finish writing the imperial edict of passing the throne early, and Prime Minister Zhang and the others should arrive."
"you--"
The emperor's hand holding the pen trembled, and he couldn't put it down.
"Father, can't you imitate your junior brother and learn about current affairs?" The eldest prince next to him was still urging him impatiently, "Look at my poor brother, is he scared?"
The corners of his lips curved in a joking manner, his tone of voice was condescending, and his eyes looked toward the other side of the hall.
Sure enough, they saw the prince, who was watched by several guards, staying in place, not daring to move. When he was suddenly mentioned, his face turned pale and his head hung down. It was as if he couldn't see or hear anything that happened in the palace, and he was just an innocent passerby who didn't know anything.
Seeing his quail appearance, the eldest prince felt bored. He curled his lips and shifted his gaze, looking at the emperor again.
It was at this time that Su Ying and his party came in.
Su Wei cleared a path, and a large group of people suddenly poured into the palace and appeared in front of the emperor and the two princes.
Except for a few important members of the clan who were named by Su Wei as necessary witnesses for the emperor's succession, the others were all forced to follow the Xu family and his son. As soon as they entered the palace, they were attacked by bright swords and guns just like the emperor. In front of him, everyone suddenly stared and was speechless.
The situation in the palace is clear at a glance.
The prince in custody, the emperor who was forced to write an edict at the table, and the eldest prince who seemed the most relaxed and at ease.
Everything that is clear at a glance allows people to draw a clear conclusion in an instant - the eldest prince has forced the palace to rebel!
The most important thing is, looking at this situation, he succeeded. Even the palace guards betrayed him, how could it not succeed?
——The emperor is finished, the eldest prince has won.
Everyone who had said "Add me one" impassionedly before suddenly regretted it so much that they wished they could go back to a quarter of an hour ago, sew their mouths shut, and huddle in place.
Then again, if the Duke of Wei hadn't suddenly had a fit and wanted to come over, they wouldn't have followed because they were worried about the emperor's liquidation. It was impossible for him to be liquidated by the emperor now, but I don't know what the next emperor would think.
Seeing such a crowd of people, the eldest prince's expression was strange: "I don't think there are so many loyal ministers in the court? My father is unwell. Are you here to accompany him?"
"No, no, of course not!" Now the dragon is not feeling well and is here to accompany him. I'm afraid he will be buried with him even if the emperor dies later!
Some people who were afraid of death had already lost their legs and fell to the ground. They simply knelt down and answered without even daring to raise their heads: "I heard that the Holy Dragon Body is ill and it is difficult to recover from a serious illness. I want to pass it on to the eldest prince. I am waiting here." It’s to listen to the holy will and meet the new king!”
Such shameless words were spoken first, and the eldest prince could not help but be stunned, and then a comfortable smile appeared on his face.
He was originally worried that his simple and crude transformation of the palace might lead to resistance from the ministers. He would not have to kill a few to establish his authority, but it would also easily cause unnecessary trouble, so he only invited a few important ministers. Cut the mess with a sharp knife.
——As long as he moves quickly enough, kills the emperor and the prince, ascends to the throne with the edict of succession, and has the endorsement of the intimidated ministers, even other ministers who have doubts can only recognize him as the new emperor after weighing the pros and cons. .
I didn't expect that resistance didn't exist at all. The bones of these ministers are much softer than the eldest prince imagined. In other words, they had no intention of dying for the emperor from the beginning to the end.
As the first person knelt down neatly to support the eldest prince, a second person knelt down. Although the remaining people were still standing upright, condemning the shamelessness of their companions with their eyes and expressions, and showing a look of shamelessness on their faces, no one dared to stand up and point at the eldest prince and curse: "This is chaos. Thief!"
They just stood there and said nothing.
Emperor Huiming's face was extremely gloomy and ugly.
He glanced at the ministers.
"Okay! This is my loyal minister of Da Qi!"
The silent people avoided his gaze, with guilt and intolerance in their eyes.
The man kneeling on the ground was the first to speak, and every word he said was extremely sincere: "Your Majesty is old and frail, and his days are numbered. The eldest prince is virtuous, long-term, wise and mighty. If the country of Qi is in the hands of the eldest prince, he will have no worries." . Please rest assured, Your Majesty!”
The voices of the crowd shook the sky, and the momentum was overwhelming. They were collectively forcing the emperor to pass on the throne, and even the eldest prince was stunned.
——These ministers changed their appearance too quickly, right?
It was obviously the first time for him to see the shameless faces of politicians. He was happy but also a little surprised.
Su Ying, who was blocked behind Xu Qian, quietly poked his head out and looked at the funny scene in front of him that was comparable to a drama. He couldn't help but reveal the look of "I have learned a lot today".
——Reality is really more interesting than the storybook. If such a plot was written in the storybook, it is inevitable that some people would question whether there is no loyal minister who is loyal to the emperor in this court?
Maybe there is, but loyalty is not as important as their lives.
However, there should be only one loyal minister here.
Su Ying's eyes fell on Xu Qian in front of him.
When they came in just now, the Duke of Wei was observing the distribution of the guards in Qianning Palace without making a sound. He even took Su Ying behind without making a sound, letting the people in front go in first. He used other people to block the two of them, blocked Su Ying with himself, and quietly observed everything around him.
He did all these actions secretly and quietly. If Su Ying's consciousness was not much sharper than that of ordinary people, and if he happened to be paying attention to him, he would probably not have noticed it.
It seems that this only loyal minister deliberately lowered his presence in an attempt to suddenly attack and rescue the emperor? No, since the guards here are all the eldest prince's men, it would be useless even if the emperor was rescued from a few guards. Xu Qian does not have the ability to fight his way out of the siege with a burden.
The only possibility is to suddenly attack the eldest prince.
As long as the eldest prince is in hand, the dilemma will be solved immediately.
After analyzing this, Su Ying couldn't help but be moved for the emperor.
——Sixteen years ago and sixteen years later, no matter whether the emperor was in an advantageous or disadvantageous position, he would stand up and risk his life. Such a loyal minister is a rare and unique one.
Unfortunately, the emperor did not know that there was another loyal minister who was racking his brains to plan how to save him. His angry eyes swept across the crowd and met Xu Qian's eyes. Not only did he not see the hint in Xu Qian's eyes, but he became even more gloomy. He only saw that the Duke of Wei, who dared to break into the Beijing camp at night, was now standing in the crowd and dumb like everyone else!
"Sure enough, the Duke of Wei is unreliable..." This was the first thought that came to his mind, and then he was thankful, "Fortunately, I didn't count on him from the beginning."
While his mind was turning, Emperor Huiming sneered and suddenly picked up the imperial pen: "Good! Good! Good!"
"...If you want to be the emperor, it depends on whether you have that fate!"
The imperial edict written with resentment was suddenly thrown into the arms of the eldest prince, who was not angry at all. He held the imperial edict like a treasure and read it again and again, making sure that the emperor did not play tricks and had indeed written the edict of succession according to what he said, and then he could no longer hold back his laughter.
His laughter echoed in the quiet Qianning Hall.
"Hahahaha, I am the emperor!"
"——I will be the emperor in the future!"
And the people kneeling on the ground have been congratulating one after another.
Amid the congratulations from the whole hall, the eldest prince laughed even more happily. He held the imperial edict happily, and for a moment, the whole person was like walking on the clouds, and his feet were light.
The dream of so many years has come true so easily, and until now he still dares not believe it is true.
So much so that he ignored the emperor and the prince on the side, and did not even issue an order to deal with them in the first time.
At this moment, a figure shot out from the crowd like lightning and ran straight to the eldest prince. At the same time, several figures rushed out from several directions and also ran towards him.
Bang!
The next moment, the eldest prince, who was almost crazy with excitement, was pinned to the ground by several people and could not move.
Looking at Xu Qian and the familiar guards who suddenly appeared, he was shocked and angry, and did not understand what had happened.
Xu Qian and the guards who attacked at the same time looked at each other, and then their eyes looked in the same direction at the same time.
There, the emperor, who was full of resentment just now, showed a smug sneer at this moment, and looked coldly at the eldest prince who could not move: "Smart fool! The guards in the palace must be the emperor's confidants. You think you have bribed my confidants, but you don't know that I already know everything."
The head of the guard came to him at the signal of Emperor Huiming and made a protective gesture, with his head lowered and his posture respectful.
The eldest prince couldn't believe that his dream of becoming an emperor had suddenly shattered. He kept struggling and shouting, "No! No! Impossible! I am the emperor! I am already the emperor--"
Looking at his almost crazy posture, Emperor Huiming was refreshed. He sighed and said, "For the throne, you have been possessed by a demon. After all, you are my nephew. Even if I let you fulfill your dream and be the emperor for half a quarter of an hour, what's wrong?" The implication was that he no longer recognized the other party as his son and wanted to throw him out like the second prince.
Emperor Huiming spoke the words of alms lightly like a magnanimous elder, but it stimulated the eldest prince to find it increasingly difficult to accept.
He held his head and screamed.
"My nephew, remember..."
Emperor Huiming looked at him with more pity, as if he was really just looking at his unpromising nephew, but his tone was extremely indifferent:
"Some things can only be taken by me if I give them to you."
"If I don't give you anything, it's your fate!"
The Qianning Palace was completely silent for some time, and only the eldest prince's hysterical screams echoed.
The courtiers who had originally defected to the eldest prince were trembling at this time, and the others looked at the emperor with fear.
Knowing clearly that the eldest prince was trying to rebel, he received the report from the guards but he followed the plan calmly and allowed the eldest prince to succeed smoothly. He exposed the eldest prince's illusions when he was most satisfied and defeated him in one fell swoop... so cruel s method!
The most important thing is that the emperor never revealed the news to anyone, and also tested the loyalty of the officials.
But even Xu Qian, who was loyal to the emperor, was feeling cold in his heart while he was happy about the reversal of the situation.
Because he knew nothing about it beforehand.
——Obviously the emperor did not trust him.
What's more, the emperor used all the clan officials as bait to make the eldest prince relax his vigilance. If the eldest prince had just started killing people, would the emperor give up the plan and let Su Wei stop him? The answer is probably no.
Emperor Huiming didn't know what everyone was thinking. He glanced at the ministers one by one, especially those who had just turned against the eldest prince, and sentenced them to death in his heart.
"The eldest prince is rebellious and unethical..."
He was about to pronounce the eldest prince's crime when his hair suddenly stood up, as if he felt a severe chill.
The next moment, the light of the knife passed by, and the sharp blade touched his neck. The commander of Su Wei who was respectfully guarding him just now changed his face at some point and took the emperor hostage.
Emperor Huiming's expression changed with shock: "You? How could that happen?"
——This is his trusted confidant who he has trained with his own hands!
The prince, who had been so quiet as if he didn't exist, stood up under the protection of the suddenly rebellious Su Wei.
"Sorry, Father, Commander Li is actually mine." He was as gentle and humble as ever, and his speech was sincere and kind. Even his apology sounded very sincere, "I asked him to report his elder brother to Father. "
Emperor Huiming looked at him as if he wanted to eat someone.
The prince turned a blind eye and just smiled: "I think brother's idea makes sense."
"My father is old and it's time for him to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy."
