Divorce at the beginning, the rough general is very clingy

Dongqi was in the midst of a civil war.

When Marquis Xuanyuan returned to the imperial city, the second prince had already taken the imperial edict of succession from Emperor Dongqi Xuanyuan Che and prepared for the coronation ceremony. Some old ministers did not believe that the emperor would issue an edict to abdicate in his prime, and demanded to see the emperor. However, the empress refused the ministers' visit on the grounds that the emperor was in poor health. Even the imperial doctors, that is, the two members of the second prince's party, refused to diagnose the emperor.

What else is unclear now? It's obviously the Queen. The Second Prince and Prime Minister Wang took advantage of the foreign invasion to control the Emperor and obtained the abdication edict by extraordinary means. Several ministers raised doubts in the Golden Palace and were thrown into jail by the Second Prince on various bullshit charges. In addition to the ministers concerned, even their families were not spared.

Many ministers were afraid.

Marquis Yongxin was the first to raise doubts in the Golden Palace. The Second Prince was just looking for an excuse to punish Marquis Xuanyuan's in-laws, but this excuse was delivered to him. So the entire family of Marquis Yongxin was thrown into jail.

There were also a few ministers who were loyal to the king of Dongqi and risked their lives to advise him. As a result, like the Yongxin Marquis's family, their entire family was thrown into jail.

The eldest prince suffered the most. The second prince ordered his legs to be broken and he was given poison, which immediately disqualified him from competing.

The third prince had long noticed the actions of the second prince and Prime Minister Wang, and he actually ran away secretly with his wife and children.

Although the Sixth and Seventh Princes had no intention or action to seize the throne, the Second Prince would not allow anyone who could snatch the throne from him to exist, so the two brothers were arrested and locked up in a secret room.

The remaining princes were all under ten years old, and their maternal families had no one to rely on. In order to show his magnanimity, the second prince did not touch them, but he also sent people to guard them strictly.

In less than a month, the entire capital was under the control of the second prince. He was extremely excited and had already begun preparing for his coronation ceremony.

Tomorrow is the coronation ceremony. This is an auspicious date that the Imperial Observatory has to announce under his tyranny. The Second Prince is eager to ascend the throne and doesn't care about anything else. As long as he sits on the throne, no matter how great the merits of Xuanyuan Hou are, he will be killed by him when he returns.

The next day, the auspicious day arrived. The Second Prince, wearing the dragon robe, had just left the Imperial City for the Imperial Temple when the Royal Guards came to report that the Fifth Prince, Marquis Xuanyuan, had led his troops to attack the city under the pretext of clearing out the corrupt officials and killing the traitors.

The second prince still had the intention to offer sacrifices to the heavens. This Xuanyuan Marquis who came back halfway was really his nemesis. But he was still unwilling to give up halfway. He looked up and saw the steps of the imperial temple right in front of him. He hated that he was only one step away.

"Your Majesty, the rebels have broken through the city gate and are heading towards the imperial palace." In less than half an hour, the city gate of the capital was broken.

In fact, Marquis Xuanyuan and the gate-guarding army did not start a war at all. Marquis Xuanyuan's confidants used their eloquence, appealed to their emotions and reason, and finally convinced the gate-guarding generals.

Just like that, without losing a single soldier, Marquis Xuanyuan broke into the palace.

The second prince was so angry that he looked at the imperial temple which was nearby and led his men away.

He has more than 80,000 private soldiers, who are now in the imperial city and the palace. Marquis Xuanyuan brought back 100,000 men, and the difference in strength is not much. The second prince was well prepared, and he took the initiative to attack without waiting for Marquis Xuanyuan to attack him.

Xuanyuan Hou was not to be outdone. Not only did he have a high level of martial arts skills, he also had a group of his own people during this period. In addition, the power given to him by Mi Yao was the strongest. After a few artillery shells, the palace gate was blown away.

The second prince was stunned by the loud explosion.

What sound, what's going on...

Finally, the two brothers, the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince, met in the ruins at the palace gate.

"Fifth brother, are you planning a rebellion?" The second prince displayed the aura of a king.

"The thief cries thief, Xuanyuan Jing. You are a thief yourself and yet you call others thieves. You are really well-educated." Xuanyuan Hou laughed angrily.

"How dare you! My father has already written the abdication edict. I am now the emperor of Dongqi. You led troops to break into the palace without permission. This is treason and rebellion." The second prince said in a very loud voice.

"Xuanyuan Jing, the truth does not lie in the loudness of your voice. Don't be nervous. People naturally know how you got the throne. You have been the emperor for a few days and you really think you are the emperor. It's time to wake up from the dream." Marquis Xuanyuan drew out his sword, ready to capture Xuanyuan Jing alive.

"What nonsense! Come here, kill this traitor today." Xuanyuan Jing roared.

The battle between the two sides began.

Xuanyuan Jing's military advisor whispered a few words to the soldier next to him, and the soldier left in a hurry.

Soon, people of all ages from the Yongxin Marquis' Mansion were dragged in. They had all been tortured. Although their lives were not in danger, they were all covered with wounds, and their clothes were stained red with blood.

When Marquis Xuanyuan saw the miserable state of his grandfather's family, he felt great pain in his heart, "Xuanyuan Jing, you are shameless." Marquis Xuanyuan put down the sword in his hand, looked at the more than 30 people kneeling on the side, and hesitated.

At this moment, several hidden arrows flew at him. Xuanyuan Hou tried to dodge, but he was still a little slow and was shot in the shoulder. Blood gushed out immediately.

"My son, don't worry about us. Kill this traitor. Dongqi cannot fall into the hands of this treacherous villain." Marquis Yongxin's body was much weaker than before due to torture. It seemed that he used up all his strength to say a few words.

"Hou'er, don't worry about us, kill him. You are a good boy, and you will be a good king who loves his people like his own children in the future." The prince Xiong Yuexuan also said.

"Good boy, don't worry about us. Even if you don't kill him, he will kill you and us. You can't believe him." The second uncle of the Xiong family also said.

"Our death is not a pity, so don't hesitate any longer." After saying this, Marquis Yongxin closed his eyes and prepared to die.

How could Marquis Xuanyuan allow his relatives to be killed and remain indifferent?

“Hahaha…” Xuanyuan Jing laughed wildly, “I didn’t realize you were such a loyal and righteous man. What a pity, today is the day when your family will go to hell…”

"boom"

"boom"

Before Xuanyuan Jing could finish his words, he heard two bangs and two people fell from the sky not far in front of him. No, they were thrown down from the sky.

After a closer look, "Mother, Grandpa..." Xuanyuan Jing could hardly believe his eyes.

Xuanyuan Hou didn't expect this to happen.

"Exchange people with them." Lu Han walked over from behind.

"You did it?" Xuanyuan Hou asked subconsciously.

"Treat others in their own way. Doesn't he like this kind of plot?" Lu Han sneered.

"My son...save your mother." Queen Wang was beaten badly. As a pampered woman in the harem, she had no fighting power at all, except for being full of bad intentions. She was beaten up by Lu Han's men, and now her nose and face were swollen and her whole body was in pain.

Xuanyuan Jing frowned, feeling somewhat disgusted. Look at the people at the Yongxin Marquis' Mansion, they were also arrested and tortured, but look at them, they would rather die than fulfill the great cause of Xuanyuan Marquis. Then look at their own family members, crying and asking him to save them, can't they have a little backbone and not make things difficult for themselves?
