"I am the emperor. The previous emperor ascended the throne before his death, and the year and title are orthodox. Who does Zhu Zhen mean that he also became the emperor?"

Zhu Zhen was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

With two emperors in one country, Zhu Zhen could even do such shameless things.

He hates it!

He should have killed Zhu Zhen long ago!

Under Zhu Zhen's cold gaze, You Quan's expression remained calm. This old eunuch had seen strong winds and waves.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, as far as I know, the late emperor did not leave any inheritance edict."

"That means he faked it?"

Zhu Zhen gritted his teeth. This was quite possible. He wanted to fake it but couldn't. You Quan didn't communicate with him beforehand.

"What about the news of the late emperor's death?"

Zhu Zhen has been keeping the news sealed. He is also afraid that something will happen if the news is sent back to Bianjing. Judging from Zhu Zhen's reaction, he should be informed immediately, and someone must send him a message.

"It's you old guy!"

Zhu Zhen was not at all polite to the old eunuch beside the late emperor.

"It was indeed the old slave who sent someone to spread the news."

You Quan directly admitted it.

"The old slave thought that the late emperor passed away, and as the emperor, he was qualified to know about it."

"You deserve to die!"

"This old slave deserves to die!"

You Quan knelt down directly. Facing Zhu Zhen's wrath, he didn't seem to show any fear.

yes!

What else does he have to fear?

If he hadn't wanted to send the late emperor all the way back to Beijing, You Quan would have no longer wanted to live, and he was approaching his seventies.

"Did you already know that Zhu Zhen would do this?"

"yes."

"You...damn!"

You Quan raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, this is the arrangement of the late emperor!"

"The late emperor?"

"Why did the late emperor do this? He didn't believe that I could be a good emperor? Didn't he know that this would lead to civil strife and division in the country?"

Zhu Zhen shouted: "Answer me!"

"I don't know what the late emperor thought. I just followed the last wish of the late emperor."

Judging from You Quan's tone and expression, it doesn't look like he's telling lies, and there's no need to.

Zhu Zhen was greatly shocked in his heart.

"Ha ha!"

"Ha ha!"

He laughed and walked directly towards Zhu Wen's remains.

In the midst of everyone's surprised looks, Zhu Zhen's expression changed and he said loudly: "Father, I didn't expect that you still don't believe me? You don't trust me to hand over the country to me."

"What have I done? You would rather suffer the consequences of civil strife and division in the country than use me!"

Zhu Zhenquan understood.

It is impossible for any emperor to die without leaving a legacy edict in advance, but the previous emperor did not leave one!

It turns out that this is the reason why he doesn’t recognize himself!

"You... don't recognize me!"

"Why don't you recognize me?"

Zhu Zhen pointed at the deceased and asked.

"Your Majesty, what are you..."

Everyone around was shocked.

"Tell me, why don't you believe me!"

Zhu Zhen seemed to be crazy.

At this time, You Quan also came over. He stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty..."

"His Majesty?"

"What did you call me?"

"I... call you Your Majesty."

"Old thing!"

Zhu Zhen's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He took a few steps and pulled out the sword of the guard beside him, then turned around and beheaded You Quan directly.

Blood spattered on Zhu Wen's spirit, and You Quan had already fallen.

This scene shocked everyone, and they still didn't understand why.

You Quan is an old eunuch who has been serving the late emperor. Why did your majesty want to kill him?

"Transmit my decree and order Fan Cang to immediately lead the army back to Bianjing. All the troops... must not make mistakes!"

"this……"

"Your Majesty, recall all the troops. The army will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack. This battle..."

"The war is over, there are more important things now!"

"It's...what?"

"Seize the throne!"

Zhu Zhen squeezed out two words from between his teeth: aggrieved, uncomfortable, depressed...it's impossible to describe it!

The defeat with Daning, Lu Qiling's escape, and being deceived by Hu Biao... these were all major blows, and now it's happened again.

Originally he was the emperor, but now he has to compete with others for the throne.

fight?

What else is there to fight?

Zhu Zhen knew that since Zhu Zhen dared to do this, he should have the confidence, and it would be a big mistake to think about it based on his original understanding!

He only brought 20,000 troops and could not even reach the base of the Bianjing city wall, so he asked Fan Cang to recall all his troops.

Zhu Zhen didn't dare to rush in. He sent people to get information and was also waiting for Fan Cang's arrival...

Fan Cang was shocked after receiving the decree. He didn't expect that such a thing would really happen!

At a certain moment before this, he did think about it, would it be better for Daliang if the new king was King Qi Zhu Zhen?

The Liang Kingdom was in devastation, and what it needed at this time was a steady emperor, but Prince Zhu Zhen was too impulsive.

Just like the current situation, what should be considered is how to end the war. There will be no results if the war continues.

Now the idea has come true, King Qi Zhu Zhen actually proclaimed himself emperor in Beijing.

The Liang Kingdom entered its darkest period.

Fan Cang hesitated. If he returned with all his troops, wouldn't the enemy army be able to march straight in?

But even if a part of it is left, I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand it, and it will end up dead in the end...

Just when he was struggling, he received another secret letter. What Fan Cang didn't expect was that the owner of this letter was none other than the third prince, Prince Qi Zhu Zhen!

"I remember when Beilin Province was forced to lose, I realized that you were different from other generals. They only had their master in their eyes, but you had the country in your eyes!"

One sentence pulled Fan Cang's thoughts into focus.

He still can't forget that scene!

When Daning's army attacked and when its own army retreated, it was the third prince, King Qi Zhu Zhen, who went alone. He was the lone traveler!

He did not escape, but he still took the blame for His Royal Highness. After so many years, no one has redressed his injustice.

"A true general should not have a specific person in mind, but the country!"

"Now that the country is in danger, I am willing to do my best to save the country. I hope General Fan can follow me!"

The letter was not very long, nor did it contain any emotion or reason, nor did it promise any heavy profits.

King Qi!
