Chapter 19 The Wise King Ends in Failure
The virtuous king was in a hurry, leading four or five thousand men and horses straight to the west gate from the palace.
The sound of horse hooves echoed throughout the long street, breaking the tranquility of the past.
When the people heard the noisy sound, they all stuck their heads out. Seeing such a huge team, they were frightened and turned pale. They closed their doors, fearing that disaster would befall them.
They wondered who was plotting a rebellion and whether the palace was going to change.
The virtuous prince was riding on horseback, flanked by his two sons. In the carriage sat the virtuous princess and two concubines, who looked at each other anxiously.
At this time, the streets were empty, with only the wise king's troops advancing rapidly, and the sound of horse hooves resounding throughout the sky.
The virtuous king led his troops to the west gate, but the soldiers guarding the city had received orders from the emperor to let them pass.
The wise king did not stop at all, but led his troops out of the city and headed straight for the suburbs.
The virtuous princess and the two concubines in the carriage breathed a sigh of relief when they left the city.
But the wise king did not let down his guard. After all, the emperor already knew his intentions, so how could he let him go so easily?
When He Lingfeng learned that the virtuous king had left the west gate, he immediately followed him without stopping.
Soon, the Xian Wang's men also discovered He Lingfeng's pursuers. The Xian Wang's face became even gloomier. He knew that he had to get rid of these pursuers as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
"Your Majesty, there are pursuers behind us, what should we do?"
The wise king took a deep breath and ordered, "Stop them!"
"Yes"
The men immediately took action, drawing their weapons and engaging in a fierce battle with He Lingfeng's pursuers.
Inside the city, all the major families knew that the virtuous king was plotting a rebellion, and they also learned that the emperor had awakened. They were worried for themselves and their entire families.
The emperor pretended to be unconscious to induce the virtuous king and the ministers to make mistakes, just to test whether the ministers and the princes had the intention of rebellion. Unexpectedly, the virtuous king lost his temper first.
The first bird to stick its head out gets shot, so the emperor must have killed the chicken to scare the monkeys and serve as a warning to others.
I'm glad that I didn't act impulsively at the time, otherwise it would be too late to regret it now.
Outside the city, when the two sides were fighting fiercely, an arrow suddenly shot towards the wise king, but fortunately he dodged it in time.
"Protect the prince!"
The wise king looked carefully and saw a man in a black battle robe standing in the distance, holding a bow and arrow, aiming at him.
The virtuous king gnashed his teeth and shouted, "He Lingfeng!"
"Xian Wang, you can't escape. Come back with me to see the emperor, otherwise this will be the burial place for everyone in your Xian Wang Mansion."
"dream."
"kill him…"
Just as they were about to act, a spy came to report: "Your Majesty, it's bad! There are a large number of enemy troops ambushing ahead!"
The wise king was shocked. Being attacked from both sides, how could he break the deadlock?
For a moment, the flash of swords and the shouts of killing shook the sky.
He Lingfeng brought with him the Imperial Guards, who originally had twice as many people as the Xian Wang. The Imperial Guards were all carefully selected by the Emperor, and their martial arts were all top-notch.
The wise king's men gradually couldn't hold out anymore. He watched his men fall one by one, feeling extremely anxious, but he could do nothing.
Soon, the virtuous king and his family were captured by He Lingfeng and brought back to the palace.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne, his face still pale, but his eyes revealed a hint of majesty. He swept his gaze over the ministers and the prince, scaring them so much that they wished they could become invisible.
Finally, his gaze fell on the virtuous king kneeling in the hall.
"Wise King, do you admit your guilt?"
The emperor's voice was deep and majestic, echoing in the court, and the ministers didn't even dare to breathe.
"You can do whatever you want with me, but the throne was originally mine. It was Prime Minister Huo and the Queen Mother who tampered with the late emperor's will, allowing you to ascend the throne."
"Although you are the eldest son of the late emperor, I am the legitimate son of the Empress. The late emperor did not appoint a crown prince, so I am the rightful king of Great Qi."
"You are the winner and you have the final say, but when you wake up in the middle of the night, don't you feel guilty towards the late emperor?"
"Since I ascended the throne, I have diligently served the country and the people, never slacking off. I believe I have done nothing to shame my conscience, my people, and even more so, my late emperor."
"Come here, take the virtuous king and his entire family to the royal prison and execute them at noon tomorrow."
As the guards dragged the virtuous king out, he laughed heartily and said, "You are guilty as a thief. You want to kill me so that no one will know that your throne was not legitimate and was stolen from me."
"I curse you to die a miserable death, your sons slaughtering each other, and you will be ashamed to face the late emperor and the ancestors of the Shangguan family after your death."
The wise king's voice echoed in the hall, and the ministers were so frightened that they lowered their heads and remained silent.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne, his face pale and his body trembling slightly. He had not yet recovered from the poisoning, but he was trembling with anger at the words of the wise king.
Shangguan Yunting saw that the emperor looked unhappy and whispered, "Brother, don't be fooled. He is just trying to piss you off. Don't listen to his nonsense."
"You are the legitimate heir of the Imperial Palace, and even more so the King of Great Qi. This is beyond doubt. If you irritate the Emperor, he will succeed."
The entire hall was filled with a tense atmosphere, making people feel depressed and uneasy.
After a moment, the emperor regained his composure, stared at the ministers below with a sharp gaze, and said sternly: "The virtuous king is plotting treason and should be executed according to the law. His accomplices will all be severely punished without mercy!"
The emperor's tone was firm and left no room for doubt.
The ministers kowtowed one after another to express their willingness to obey the imperial order.
After the court was dismissed, Prime Minister Huo, the Minister of Revenue, and Censor He were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats. They were glad that they had made the right decision, otherwise they would have suffered the same fate as the wise king.
The harem, the queen, Concubine He, and Concubine Shu learned that the emperor was pretending to be unconscious. They were glad that they did not make the wrong decision, otherwise it would have been a disaster for themselves and the entire family.
