The emperor is biased and wants to kill me, but you chickened out when the army is at the city gates

Qin Xuan led several hundred elite Crimson Flame Army soldiers, riding forward in a grand procession towards the palace!

"Your Highness, could there be an ambush?"

Seeing that the palace gates were wide open and the palace was empty, Zhao Luoying couldn't help but frown slightly.

She had already changed into a suit of armor, holding a long spear, looking incredibly heroic.

"Don't even mention an ambush, even if Father Emperor summoned heavenly soldiers and generals today, it wouldn't be of any use!"

After Qin Xuan finished speaking, he led the Crimson Flame Army into the palace!

The news of Qin Xuan's rebellion had obviously spread throughout the capital, and in the vast palace, not a single living person could be found.

Soon, Qin Xuan arrived at the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Father, I have something to say to you!"

Qin Xuan's voice resounded through the sky, and a moment later, Qin Tian, ​​dressed in a dragon robe, slowly walked out.

"Qin Xuan, you are truly my good son. In the three hundred years since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, you are the first prince to lead an army to force the emperor to abdicate!"

Qin Tian looked coldly at Qin Xuan and the hundreds of Crimson Flame Army soldiers, his eyes full of contempt.

"Your Majesty, I did not force the emperor to abdicate. It is only because Your Majesty has been misled by treacherous officials who intend to harm loyal ministers that Your Majesty has no choice but to come to the palace to purge the court of these corrupt officials!"

Although they had already broken off relations, Qin Xuan wasn't stupid; he still had to maintain appearances.

"All the ministers around me are virtuous and upright, so how can there be any talk of 'purging the emperor's inner circle'?"

Qin Tian sneered, "Sixth Brother, you don't actually think you can change the fate of the Great Qi Dynasty with just a few hundred men, do you?"

The words fell.

The earth suddenly trembled, and the sound of horses' hooves clashing with armor came from all directions. Countless imperial guards in armor and holding long spears emerged from all sides!

Thousands upon thousands of imperial guards surrounded Qin Xuan and his group, leaving them no way to escape!

"Qin Xuan, you wretched child, you've only won a few battles and you've already become so arrogant, leading a mere few hundred shrimp soldiers and crab generals to try and seize the throne! Ha, let's see what you do now!"

Qin Zhen's injuries had been simply bandaged, but his face was still pale, and he was so excited that he was trembling all over.

Once Qin Xuan is dead, no one in the world will be able to threaten his position as crown prince!

"Qin Xuan, I will grant you a proper burial if you surrender now, considering your past merits."

Qin Tian said coldly, "Qin Xuan's coup has made me hate him to the core."

"If Father surrenders now, I can give Father some dignity."

Qin Xuan responded coldly.

"Take down these wicked bastards who are plotting a rebellion!"

Qin Tian's furious voice resounded through the sky: "Whoever captures Qin Xuan alive will be promoted five ranks and rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!"

"kill!!"

The imperial guards raised their weapons, and the sounds of battle filled the air all day!

Just as everyone was preparing to launch the attack.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps.

"Ok?"

Qin Tian frowned. Could it be that Qin Xuan had reinforcements?

Looking up, I was surprised to see a middle-aged man with a refined and fair complexion, dressed in a dark red official robe, leading a group of gentle and elegant scholars in blue shirts as they walked gracefully towards me.

"Isn't that Qiu Xingzhi, the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy? What's he doing here with the students of the Imperial Academy?"

Qin Zhen was stunned. "I understand, Father! It must be that the Imperial Academy Chancellor Qiu knew that this wretched boy Qin Xuan was going to rebel, so he brought the students of the Imperial Academy to reprimand Qin Xuan!"

Before Qin Tian could figure out what was going on, Qiu Xingzhi, along with a group of disciples, approached him, cupped his hands in a respectful bow, and said, "Your Majesty, when the Great Qi Dynasty was beset by internal and external troubles and the country was on the verge of collapse, it was the Prince of Chu who stepped forward and turned the tide! It can be said that your current stable throne is entirely due to the Prince of Chu's efforts! However, you intend to discard him after he has served his purpose, which is truly against the principles of Heaven! Your subject, Qiu Xingzhi, begs Your Majesty to issue an edict of self-reproach, admit your mistakes, make amends in time, and apologize to the Prince of Chu!"

Hundreds of students from the Imperial Academy also bowed and clasped their hands, shouting in unison, "We beg Your Majesty to issue an edict of self-reproach!!"

boom!

Qiu Xingzhi's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's minds!

"you you……"

Although Qin Tian was neither good at literature nor martial arts, he was extremely proud and arrogant. Seeing that the minister he had personally promoted was impeaching him and demanding that he issue an edict of self-reproach, he was so angry that he disregarded the dignity of the emperor and gritted his teeth, saying: "Guards, Qiu Xingzhi conspired with Qin Xuan to rebel. His crime is heinous. Kill this scoundrel immediately!"

Before Qin Tian's guards could make a move, another series of footsteps approached.

A middle-aged man dressed in a dragon robe walked over with a group of royal family members dressed in luxurious attire.

"Prince Huai, you've come here because of Qin Xuan's rebellion too? You should go back; I can handle this matter properly!"

Qin Tian said.

The newcomer was named Qin Yu, Qin Tian's younger brother. Qin Yu had made great contributions when Qin Tian ascended the throne.

After Qin Tian took power, he also bestowed upon Qin Yu wealth and honor.

"His Majesty……"

Qin Yu hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to speak: "Xuan'er has made unparalleled contributions to the Great Qi Dynasty, yet Your Majesty wants to execute Xuan'er's wife. Such a betrayal is truly disheartening! I humbly request that Your Majesty abdicate and pass the throne to the Prince of Chu!"

The royal family members all shouted in unison, "We beg Your Majesty to abdicate and pass the throne to the Prince of Chu!"

In an instant, the whole place was dead silent.

Then, everyone's faces showed a look of horror as if they had seen a ghost!

It should be known that Qin Yu's birth mother was more noble than Qin Tian's, but he knew he was not cut out to be emperor, so he wholeheartedly supported Qin Tian. In the entire Great Qi, there was no one more loyal than Qin Yu!

however.

Qin Yu has also betrayed us!

"Prince Huai, you, you..."

Qin Tian clutched his heart, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning. He glared fiercely at Qin Xuan: "Qin Xuan, you damned wretch! It's one thing for you to rebel, but you also have to drag Prince Huai into it. Do you want Prince Huai to also be branded a traitor and be infamous for eternity?!"

"Father, justice resides in the hearts of the people."

Qin Xuan smiled slightly, concealing his achievements and fame.

In the past two days, he contacted various people in the capital, expressing his intention to turn against the emperor and hoping to gain their support.

Fortunately, all parties are well aware that, publicly, Qin Xuan has shouldered the responsibility for the entire Great Qi; privately, without Qin Xuan, if the Jurchens were to attack again in the future, none of them would have a good ending.

"Prince Huai, if you retract your words now, I will pretend you never said them!"

Qin Tian roared in anger, feeling that the betrayal of his own brother had made him lose all face as the emperor.

"Your Majesty, when the Great Qi Dynasty was ravaged by natural disasters, the founding emperor also issued an edict of self-reproach. Your Majesty, your actions have won the hearts of all the civil and military officials. If the Great Qi Dynasty wants to rise again, you must hand over the throne to the Prince of Chu!"

Qin Yu withstood the pressure and bowed, saying...

"Good, good, good..."

Qin Tian laughed in fury: "What a fine abdication! Issue an edict to demote Qin Yu to a commoner and drag him into the imperial prison!"
