At this time, Qianning Hall was surrounded by groups.

The palace lamps in the palace are bright, and the shadows of swords are reflected on the wall, together with the figures holding the swords, showing a grotesque and hideous shape.Emperor Huiming, who was mercilessly surrounded by many guards, had an ugly expression on his face. Although he tried his best to maintain his former composure, the fright and anger in his eyes could not be concealed.

He looked at the other person with eyes that were about to breathe fire:

"Things that are disloyal and unfilial, are you trying to kill the king?!"

The man just let out a casual sneer.

In the past, if Emperor Huiming looked down, who would not be shocked and afraid in the world, even the former him, would not be played with in the applause?Every day he was trembling, not daring to make a wrong move, lest he would offend the emperor, and once he seized the opportunity, he would do everything possible to perform, all he wanted was to win the emperor's favor.And if the emperor scolded him like that, he would really kowtow to death, unless the emperor took back his words.

But he is not what he used to be.

Even the emperor has become his prisoner, so what is he afraid of?

"Father, there is no need to delay." The eldest prince, who was dressed in a prince's python robe, said unceremoniously, "Let's write it! After writing the imperial decree earlier, Prime Minister Zhang and the others should arrive."

"you"

The emperor's hand holding the pen trembled, unable to drop it no matter what.

"Father can't learn from my younger brother, who knows more about current affairs?" The eldest prince next to him was still urging him impatiently, "Look at my poor younger brother, is he frightened?"

The corners of his lips curled up in a playful arc, his tone of voice was also condescending, and his eyes looked towards the other side of the hall.

Sure enough, the prince, who was watched by several guards, stayed where he was, not daring to move. When he was mentioned suddenly, his face turned pale and his head drooped.It was as if he couldn't see or hear everything that happened in the temple, and was just an innocent passerby who didn't know anything.

Seeing his quail appearance, the eldest prince suddenly felt bored.He curled his lips and looked away, and went to look at the emperor again.

It was at this time that Su Ying and his party came in.

Su Wei let go and opened a way, and a large group of people rushed into the hall at once, appearing in front of the emperor and the two princes.

Except for a few important clan officials named by the guards who are necessary witnesses for the emperor's succession, the others were all forced to come with Xu's father and son. As soon as they stepped into the palace, they were blocked by shining swords and guns just like the emperor.In front of them, all of them stared at each other and were speechless.

The situation in the hall is clear at a glance.

The prince who was detained, the emperor who was forced to write an edict at the table, and the eldest prince who seemed the most relaxed.

With everything that is so clear at a glance, people can draw a clear conclusion in an instant - the eldest prince forced the palace to rebel!

Most importantly, judging from the situation, he succeeded.Even the palace guards have betrayed him, so is there any reason for his failure?

——The emperor is finished, and the eldest prince has won.

The people who had impassionedly "add me" before felt extremely regretful at this moment, wishing they could go back to a quarter of an hour ago, sew their mouths together, and honestly shrank back in place.

... Then again, if the prince of Wei Guogong hadn't suddenly had a fit and wanted to come over, they wouldn't have followed because they were worried about the emperor's liquidation. It is impossible to be liquidated by the emperor now, but they don't know what the next emperor thinks.

Seeing such a crowd of people, the eldest prince's expression was very strange: "I don't think there are so many loyal ministers in the court? Father, the dragon is not feeling well, are you here to accompany him?"

"No, no, no, of course not!" Now the dragon body is not feeling well to accompany him, and if the emperor dies later, he will also be buried with him!

Some people who were afraid of death had their legs limp and fell to the ground, so they just knelt down and answered, not even daring to lift their heads: "I heard that the holy dragon is sick, and the serious illness is hard to return. I want to pass it on to the eldest prince. I'll wait hereIt is to listen to the holy will and pay homage to the new king!"

Such shameless words came out first, and the eldest prince couldn't help being stunned, and then a comfortable smile appeared on his face.

He was also worried that he might be resisted by the officials if he was simple and rude to seize the throne. At that time, he might kill a few Li Liwei, but it would easily cause unnecessary trouble, so he only invited a few important officials to comeCut the mess with a sharp knife.

——As long as he moves quickly enough, kills the emperor and the prince, ascends to the throne with an edict of succession, and is endorsed by a coerced minister, even other ministers who have doubts can only recognize him as the new emperor after weighing the pros and cons.

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, resistance did not exist at all.The bones of these ministers are much softer than the First Prince imagined.In other words, they never had the thought of dying for the emperor from the beginning to the end.

Following the first person kneeling neatly to support the eldest prince, there was a second person kneeling down.Although the rest of the people were still standing upright, using their eyes and expressions to condemn the shamelessness of their companions, with a look of shamelessness on their faces, none of them dared to stand up and point at the First Prince and yell:Thief!"

They just stood straight and said nothing.

Emperor Huiming's face was extremely gloomy and ugly.

His eyes swept to the ministers.

"Okay! This is my Daqi's loyal minister!"

The silent people avoided his gaze, with guilt and intolerance in their eyes.

The person kneeling on the ground was the first to speak, every word and every word was extremely sincere: "Your Majesty is old and frail, and time is running out. The First Prince is both virtuous and long, wise and powerful. If the Great Qi and Jiangshan are in the hands of the First Prince, there will be no worries.".Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

The voices of the crowd shook the sky together, with an imposing manner.Even the eldest prince was stunned to collectively force the emperor to pass on the throne.

——Isn’t it too fast for these ministers to change their appearance?

Obviously, it was also the first time for him to see the shameless face of a politician, and he was a little surprised when he was happy.

Su Ying, who was blocked by Xu Qian, poked his head out quietly, looking at the comical scene in front of him, his eyes couldn't help revealing the look of "I've learned a lot today".

——The reality is really more interesting than the script.If such a plot is written in the scriptures, it is inevitable that some people will question whether there is no loyal minister who is loyal to the emperor in this Manchu Dynasty?

Maybe there are, but loyalty is nothing compared to their lives.

However, there should be only one loyal minister here.

Su Ying's eyes fell on Xu Qian in front of him.

Just when he came all the way in, this Wei Guogong was quietly observing the distribution of the guards in Qianning Hall, and even more quietly led Su Ying to fall behind, letting the people in front go in first, while using other people to cover himThe two, while blocking Su Ying with themselves, quietly observed everything around them.

He did all these movements in a subtle and calm manner. If Su Ying's spiritual sense was not much sharper than ordinary people, and he just happened to pay attention to him, he might not have noticed it.

It seems that the only loyal minister deliberately lowered his sense of existence in an attempt to rescue the emperor by surprise attack?No, since the guards here are all from the eldest prince, even if the emperor is rescued from several guards, it is useless.Xu Qian didn't have the ability to break out of the encirclement with a tow bottle.

The only possibility is to surprise the First Prince.

As long as the eldest prince is in hand, the dilemma will be solved immediately.

After analyzing so far, Su Ying couldn't help being moved for the emperor.

——Sixteen years ago and sixteen years later, no matter whether the emperor was in an advantage or a disadvantage, he would stand up and risk his life. Such a loyal minister is a rare and only seedling.

It's a pity that the emperor didn't know that there was another loyal minister who was racking his brains to plan how to save him. His eyes of resentment passed over the crowd, and he met Xu Qian's eyes. Instead of seeing the hint in Xu Qian's eyes, he became even moreGloomy——he only saw Wei Guogong, who dared to break into the Beijing camp at night, now standing in the crowd and becoming dumb like everyone else!

"Sure enough, Duke Wei is unreliable..." The first thing that came to mind was this thought, and then rejoicing, "Fortunately, I never counted on him from the beginning."

While thinking about it, Emperor Huiming sneered, and suddenly picked up the imperial brush: "Okay! Okay! Okay!"

"...If you want to be the emperor, it depends on whether you have the fate!"

The imperial decree written with resentment was suddenly thrown into the arms of the eldest prince, and the eldest prince was not angry at all.He held the imperial decree like a baby and looked at it again and again, making sure that the emperor did not play tricks and wrote the edict of succession exactly as he said, so he couldn't help laughing anymore.

His laughter echoed in the quiet Qianning Hall.

"Hahahaha I am the emperor!"

"—From now on, I will be the emperor!"

And the people who knelt down on the ground have congratulated again and again.

Amidst the congratulations from the whole hall, the First Prince laughed even more heartily. He held the scroll of imperial edict happily, and for a moment his whole body was like walking on a cloud, with his feet light and light.

The dream of so many years has come true so easily, until now he still can't believe it is true.

So much so that he ignored the emperor and prince beside him, and didn't even issue an order to deal with them immediately.

At this moment, a figure shot out from the crowd like lightning, and went straight to the First Prince.At the same time, several figures rushed out from several directions and also ran towards him.

boom!

The next moment, the eldest prince, who was so excited that he was almost crazy, was pinned to the ground firmly by several people, unable to move.

Looking at Xu Qian who suddenly appeared and the familiar Su Wei, he was filled with shock and anger, and still didn't understand what happened.

Xu Qian and Su Wei who shot at the same time looked at each other, and then their eyes coincidently looked in the same direction.

There, the emperor who was full of resentment and resignation just now showed a smug sneer, and looked coldly at the immobilized eldest prince: "You fool who thinks you are smart! The palace guards must be the emperor's confidants, you think you have bought me?"My confidant, but I don’t know that I already knew everything.”

At the gesture of Emperor Huiming, the leader of the guards came to him in a protective gesture, with his head bowed and his posture respectful.

The eldest prince still couldn't believe that the emperor's dream that had just been consummated was suddenly shattered, he kept struggling and shouted: "No! No! Impossible! I am the emperor! I am already the emperor—"

Looking at his almost crazy posture, Emperor Huiming was refreshed, and he sighed: "For the sake of the throne, you have been enchanted. At any rate, you are my nephew. I just want you to fulfill a dream, to be the emperor for half an hour.How?" The meaning in the words is that he no longer recognizes that the other party is his son, and he wants to throw him out like the second prince.

Emperor Huiming said the words of charity lightly like a magnanimous elder, but the irritation made the eldest prince even more difficult to accept.

He held his head and yelled.

"Nephew, remember..."

Emperor Huiming looked at him with more pity in his eyes, as if he was really just looking at his nephew who could not live up to expectations, but his tone was extremely indifferent:

"There are some things that I give you, so you can ask for them."

"What I don't give you is your fate!"

Qian Ning Hall was silent at some point, only the hysterical screams of the eldest prince echoed.

The courtiers who turned against the eldest prince were already trembling at this time, and the eyes of the others looking at the emperor could not hide their fear.

Knowing that the Eldest Prince was trying to rebel, but received the report from the Su Wei, he kept his plan and kept his countenance, allowing the Eldest Prince to succeed smoothly, and when the Eldest Prince was happiest, he shattered his illusions and crushed him in one fell swoop... so cruels method!

The most important thing is that the emperor never revealed the news to anyone, and he also tested the loyalty of all the officials by the way.

But even Xu Qian, who was loyal to the emperor, felt cold while being happy about the reversal of the situation.

Because he didn't know anything about it beforehand.

—apparently the emperor didn't trust him.

It's even more because... the emperor regards the clan and courtiers as bait to make the eldest prince relax his vigilance. If the eldest prince just started killing, will the emperor give up his plan and ask the guards to stop him?The answer is probably no.

Emperor Huiming didn't know what everyone was thinking, he glanced over the officials one by one, especially the one who had just turned against the First Prince, and sentenced them to death in his heart.

"The eldest prince is rebellious..."

He was about to pronounce the eldest prince's crimes when his hairs suddenly stood on end, as if he felt a severe chill.

The next moment, the light of the knife passed by, and the sharp blade touched his neck.The commander of the old guard who was respectfully protecting him just now changed his face at some point and took the emperor hostage.

Emperor Huiming's face changed in shock: "You? How come?"

——This is his confidant who has been cultivated and trusted!

The prince, who had been so quiet as if he didn't exist, stood up under the protection of the guards who suddenly turned against him.

"I'm sorry, father, actually Commander Li is my man." He was as gentle and humble as before, and he spoke sincerely and kindly, even the apology sounded very sincere, "I also asked him to report elder brother to father."

Emperor Huiming looked at him as if he wanted to eat people.

The prince turned a blind eye and just smiled: "I think big brother's idea makes sense."

"Father is old, and it's time to abdicate."
