After the marriage, I married the most treacherous minister of the dynasty

This was what Yuan Xu hated to hear the most. He never thought that he was inferior to Yan Mingjue, but Emperor Xuanwu insisted on saying this.

"You only care about what happened in the past few days, but you don't know that he has already been planning."

Speaking of this, Emperor Xuanwu was still a little frightened. He did not expect Yan Mingjue to guess his plan, even though he had not informed Yan Mingjue before.

When he was in the court, he took advantage of the impeachment to temporarily detain him.

However, when he wanted to use people, Yan Mingjue said that he was already prepared.

He was not the one who mobilized the people from the Xishan camp, but he had already arranged a way for them to enter the city secretly and undetected, and it would be accomplished with just an imperial decree from him.

To be honest, even I admire his planning.

Back then, when he was Yan Mingjue's age, he didn't have this plan.

Thinking of this, he said:

"Surrender."

He doesn't have many children, and the fourth one has gone to his fiefdom. I'm afraid I won't see him again in the future.

Although the older one was rebellious, he still hoped to spare his life.

Unfortunately, Yuan Xu didn’t know about Emperor Xuanwu’s good intentions, or maybe he knew but didn’t want this charity.

He drew the sword from his waist and shouted,

"I won't lose. I won't lose."

As he said this, he rushed towards Emperor Xuanwu.

Although he is brave, how can he compare to the well-trained secret guards.

Soon, he saw blood, but he seemed to be unaware of the pain and continued rushing towards Emperor Xuanwu.

Emperor Xuanwu's expression gradually grew colder. He had not expected that his eldest son would hate him so much. The murderous intent in the other's eyes could not be hidden at all.

Finally, he closed his eyes and waved his hands. The secret guard's sword pierced Yuan Xu's chest. He could no longer hold on and slowly fell down.

Until he had no breath left, his eyes did not close, but remained wide open, as if expressing his unwillingness.

That night, the palace was soaked in blood, and the air above the palace was filled with the smell of blood.

Emperor Xuanwu seemed to have aged more than ten years overnight. Looking at his eldest son's body, he slowly said:

"Carry it down."

As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Huang came hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, it's not good."

"Someone else went to assassinate His Royal Highness Prince Ning."

Emperor Xuanwu stood up immediately and glared fiercely at Yuan Xu who was lying there.

"There is no brotherly love or respect at all. They are just beasts."

After he finished scolding, he asked:

"How is His Royal Highness Prince Ning?"

"Fortunately, King Ning arranged for someone to help him, and those people did not succeed. King Ning suffered some minor injuries, but his life is not in danger."

After hearing this, Emperor Xuanwu felt relieved.

At this time, the sky has turned white and a new day is about to begin.

Emperor Xuanwu put on the dragon robe and walked towards the palace; the morning court session was about to begin.

During the morning court session today, all the court officials lowered their heads. Last night's incident was such a big deal that everyone knew about it.

During the morning court session, everyone was very hesitant, fearing that a new emperor would come in today.

When they entered the palace, they all saw blood that had not yet been cleaned up.

Emperor Xuanwu sat on the dragon throne, looking down at the ministers below, and finally his eyes fell on Yuan Rui.

"I heard that you were attacked last night as well?"

"Yes, Father."

"I was able to escape just now."

Yuanrui looked a little disheveled, as if he had just been through a bloody battle.

Emperor Xuanwu looked at him and asked:

"Tell me, does your brother deserve to die?"
