Divorce at the beginning, the rough general is very clingy
Chapter 201: Forced to abdicate and got slapped in the face
The first family meeting received the support of the whole family. Mi Yao was also a man of action. He did what he said and immediately arranged people and assigned tasks.
Here, Mi Yao and everyone else were busy as hell, unaware that the situation in the capital had changed again.
Emperor Xuanyuan Che has recently been placing great emphasis on the Crown Prince, and his ministers and senior officials have all given great affirmation to the Crown Prince's abilities, which has made some of the princes unhappy.
The Queen, the Second Prince and Prime Minister Wang have fallen, but there are still other princes.
So, at the end of the month, Emperor Xuanyuan Che suddenly fell ill.
The personal eunuch conveyed the order, asking Concubine Hui to serve him personally.
Concubine Hui is the mother of the third prince.
When Xuanyuan Hou went to the palace to visit, he was blocked outside by Concubine Hui's men. Xuanyuan Hou immediately sensed a conspiracy.
Sure enough, after careful investigation by his people, they found that the emperor had been controlled by Concubine Hui, and she also controlled Xuanyuan Che to write an abdication edict. With the edict, the crown prince Xuanyuan Hou could only watch the throne being handed over to someone else.
The Third Prince and Concubine Hui were in cahoots with each other and controlled the Emperor and the palace. The Third Prince's uncle also brought three thousand soldiers and one thousand palace guards and took control of the capital.
The third prince announced his ascension to the throne with the edict that he forced Xuanyuan Che to write. Xuanyuan Che was the emperor emeritus and lived in the Daqian Palace to recuperate. In order for the emperor emeritus to have a quiet time to recuperate, only eunuch Hai was left to take care of him.
Everything happened too suddenly.
The ministers were summoned to the palace before they knew what was going on. Facing the black mass of imperial guards holding swords in the Golden Throne Hall, and looking at the glaring imperial edict, no one dared to speak. Moreover, the Third Prince said that his mother had already invited the wives and daughters of several ministers to enjoy the flowers and drink tea together.
This is a naked threat.
Two imperial censors could not stand this and immediately spoke out against it.
"Second Prince, the Emperor has already appointed a Crown Prince. Even if the Emperor dies, the Crown Prince should take over. What you are doing is not justified."
"Lord He is absolutely right. Since the Emperor has already appointed a crown prince, that means when the Emperor is gone, the Crown Prince will succeed him. Moreover, everyone has seen how diligent the Crown Prince has been during this period. If anything happens to the Emperor, the Crown Prince will succeed him. The Third Prince now controls the palace and does not allow other imperial doctors to diagnose the Emperor's pulse. I'm afraid there is something fishy going on." Censor Lin also voiced his objection.
After the two censors finished speaking, a few brave ones followed suit and said a few words.
The third prince clenched his fists. If he didn’t want to ascend the throne and avoid bloodshed, he would have to kill these two guys now.
"Someone, beat them up, beat them hard." The third prince was very angry. These old guys, all the family members were under his control, and they still dared to talk nonsense. Killing them a hundred times would not satisfy him.
Immediately, the Royal Guards stepped forward and started fighting.
Until the Third Prince called for a stop, the Imperial Guards did not dare to stop and kept hitting the two imperial censors with their sticks.
The blood was already flowing everywhere along the stone bricks, which was terrifying to watch.
"Third Prince, since the emperor has issued an order, we, the ministers, will just follow it. Now that the Third Prince is about to ascend the throne, it is not appropriate to see bloodshed. Please forgive the two censors for their rude words." Several ministers could not stand it any longer and spoke out to persuade him.
"My lords, you don't know that when my father appointed my third brother as the crown prince, he was only making him the leader of the other brothers in the fight for the throne. My father was protecting me. Do you really think that my father wanted to give the throne to the fifth brother? He is just a wild child who grew up outside the palace. What qualifications does he have to compete with me? Not to mention that he is the crown prince, as long as he has not ascended the throne, he is nothing."
"Now, this prince is my father's legitimate new emperor. In half a month, the coronation ceremony will be held."
"Throw these two men into jail and deal with them after the coronation ceremony." The third prince looked at the two men who were beaten to pieces in the hall with contempt, announced the adjournment of the court, and asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites to enter the imperial study to discuss the coronation ceremony.
The Minister of Rites and several officials followed behind in shame, not daring to speak. Who wouldn't be afraid of death? With mountains of gold and silver at home and many beautiful concubines, who would be willing to die? It didn't matter to them who became the emperor.
Half a month later, the Third Prince's coronation ceremony was held as scheduled. The ceremony included offering sacrifices to heaven and worshipping the earth. Due to the short time, the process was much simpler. As long as they climbed onto the altar and burned incense to their ancestors, the ceremony was complete. But at this moment, a member of the Imperial Guard came to report: "Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince Xuanyuan Hou has led his troops in rebellion and has already breached the South City. The army is already heading for the palace gate..."
The third prince was so angry that he was about to have a heart attack.
The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. This scene was so familiar to them that no one dared to offend the Third Prince at this time.
The Third Prince looked at the towering altar, which seemed to reach the clouds. If he walked up to it, he would be the legitimate emperor. But if he didn't go, that bastard Xuanyuan Hou would come and attack him...
The third prince hesitated for just a few minutes, and all the ministers and people at the altar heard the soldiers' shouting.
"Save the emperor and clear out the imperial court!"
"Save the emperor and clear out the imperial court!"
"Save the emperor and clear out the imperial court!"
The sound is so loud that it is hard to ignore.
"Marquis Xuanyuan!" The third prince angrily withdrew his foot from the stairs and led his men away.
The people had already dispersed. A war was about to break out. I was just an ordinary citizen, so I'd better not just watch the fun. My life was more important.
Behind Marquis Xuanyuan were several tall horses, and on each horse were generals wearing silver helmets and armor.
Lu Han was the first to be attacked, followed by Xu Bo and a few of his close friends who had always followed Zhan Xiao, and even a few brothers from Xiaoyao Pavilion also put on their battle robes.
These people were left behind by Zhan Xiao to help Xuanyuan Hou. Unexpectedly, these forces were used less than two months after they left.
Further behind them were 30,000 soldiers from the Gyeonggi Camp. These people were all trained by Zhan Xiao. They had good physique, good kung fu, and were very united. After Zhan Xiao left, they were all trained by Lu Han.
Today, the brothers finally have a chance to show their talents.
There were many young generals trained by veteran warriors in the Imperial Guards. When the two armies faced off, two of them were the first to lay down their arms and surrender. Soon, more than half of the Imperial Guards turned against the enemy, leaving only a small number of the Third Prince and his uncle's men.
In terms of numbers, the Third Prince's side was clearly at a disadvantage. Within half an hour of the fight, more than half of the Third Prince's Royal Guards were killed or wounded, and the others threw away their weapons.
The winner and loser can be seen at a glance. Why are you still messing around? The third prince has no hope.
The third prince came in a hurry. The dragon robe on his body got out of shape because he ran too fast. It swung back and forth on his body, looking very funny.
"Marquis Xuanyuan, you are a traitor, are you planning to rebel?" The third prince pointed his sword at Marquis Xuanyuan.
"This is the first time I've seen a thief crying thief." Xuanyuan Hou smiled.
"You are just a bastard who grew up outside the palace. What right do you have to compete with me?" The third prince roared.
"Since I am now the crown prince of Dongqi, I will not waste my words with you. If you have anything to say, just take it to the coffin and say it." Marquis Xuanyuan flew over and fought with the third prince.
