After the death of the old emperor, everything in the court was changing rapidly, and everyone was eyeing the position above tens of millions of people.

The situation of the vassal king, the prince, and the large-scale Shura field is much more concessionary than if the nine sons were to seize the legitimate son.

In order to prevent the ambitious vassal king, the prince ordered the mobilization of troops and horses to defend the capital city impregnably.

The imperial guards patrolled day and night with swords, and everyone in the palace was cautious and did not even dare to breathe.

The prince hid the two imperial edicts, and the concubine's spy saw with her own eyes that the old emperor drafted an edict to depose the prince and install the seventh prince as prince. Therefore, when the prince continued to use the power of supervising the country to go to court, the seventh prince exposed him on the spot and rushed to the throne in advance.

He made the dragon robe, and pointed out that the prince had secretly murdered the old emperor. He knew that the old emperor had just recovered from the stroke, but made the old emperor eat a lot of fat. He also conspired with the alchemy Taoist to mix chronic poisons in the elixir, which caused the old emperor to suffer from stroke and death.

.

"Not only that, the prince and the beauty who sent the envoy to pay tribute have long since secretly crossed into Chencang, and the pearls are knotted, which makes us ashamed! My lords, the prince disregarded human relations, conspired to take the throne, and killed my father. His heart is to be punished!"

In the court hall, the seventh prince burst into tears in front of all the officials and complained about the prince's brutal behavior. He also brought the emperor's doctor to prove that the prince coaxed the emperor to eat the bowl of fat meat.

The prince was so angry that his chest was heaving, and the seventh prince continued to output: "To be honest, my lords, my father has long told me that the prince's mind is not right. My father has drafted an edict to depose the prince, but the prince has hidden the imperial edict.

Get up and try to hide the truth!"

The seventh prince was righteous and shouted loudly: "Prince, do you think that by hiding the revoked imperial edict, no one will expose what you have done!"

The prince said angrily: "That's nonsense. The imperial doctor clearly never told me that my father should not eat fat meat! I am filial, but when it comes to the seventh brother's mouth, it becomes a heinous crime. Seventh brother, you are slandering me!"

The princelings and the Seven Princes were at loggerheads, and the royalists were skeptical of the two factions and mainly held conspiracy theories.

The first of the hundred officials, the Prime Minister, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, saying nothing. The officials from the Ninth Prince's faction stood on the sidelines and watched.

The court hall was noisy and noisy, no different from the vegetable market, until there was a "boom" and all the sounds suddenly stopped.

Some royalist officials hit the pillars to prove their ambitions by dying.

As if it was a signal, the prince shouted loudly, and the young eunuch took out an imperial edict and read it out. The imperial edict stated that after the old emperor died, the prince ascended the throne.

The seventh prince's eyes widened: "Impossible! My father obviously didn't write it like this! I know, the imperial edict in your hand must be a forgery!"

Before the Seventh Prince could finish his words, he was gagged and dragged off by the guards. The Seventh Prince's party was dissatisfied and believed that the Crown Prince's methods were too rough and arbitrary. Even if he was the emperor, he had no right to execute the Seventh Prince who had made no mistakes.

The prince suppressed him with force, the golden Panlong Pillar was stained bright red with blood, and the courtiers finally kept their mouths shut.

The prince was satisfied and ordered the imperial eunuch to choose a date to prepare for the enthronement ceremony.

The officials dared not speak out in anger, but they did not expect that the next day, the prince announced that he would make the old emperor's beauty the queen.

There was fierce opposition in the court to the courtiers who had engraved the moral code into DNA. The prince had long been dissatisfied with them, so he simply broke the rules, suppressed them, dismissed them, and carried out his own way to the end.

The prince is not a lover, he just takes the opportunity to free up the positions of those old people and replace them with people under his own control.

Officials and courtiers complained, and everyone was in danger. The reputation of the prince was so bad among the people that they even made up a ballad to depose the prince, favor the demon concubine, impose tyranny, and the Chu Kingdom fell.

The song spread all over the streets overnight, causing panic and resentment among the people.

When the old emperor was still alive, the prince's performance was mediocre in all aspects. What was outstanding was that he seldom made mistakes.

At first, the prince wanted to be a good emperor and a kind emperor, but when the old emperor died, he changed the name to prince. The prince was very disappointed. He thought that he had worked hard for many years, was kind and kind to his brothers, respected his teachers and filial to his parents, and was one step away from the throne.

The old emperor kicked him down.

The old emperor made the prince doubt his life, and he felt like a joke. The years of trust and admiration for the old emperor fell apart. In modern terms, the prince had an emotional breakdown, with a hint of depression, while everyone in the court

Everyone was trying to oppose him. His competitor, the seventh prince, had a higher reputation than him, so the prince was naturally dissatisfied.

The prince had a guilty conscience when he sent the seventh prince into the clan mansion, because the old emperor really wanted to depose him, so he had no chance of turning back. The prince could only use violence to suppress him and quickly seize power.

When he gathers power in his hands, he will start to be a good emperor again.

Therefore, when the ballad reached his ears, the prince issued an order: it was forbidden to spread the ballad, and anyone who violated it would be killed without mercy.

Many children died in the capital. They spoke one second and disappeared the next. The people were as insecure as those in the palace.

Whether it was in the court or among the people, the voices of different opinions gradually disappeared, and the prince finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, a vassal king, with the slogan of "Qing the emperor's side, calming the country and killing the demon concubine", captured the sixteen states of Yanyun in one fell swoop, marched straight to Huanglong, and set up camp ten miles away from the foot of the imperial city.

Tomorrow is the crown prince's enthronement ceremony, and the prince will naturally not give up, so he gathers troops and starts a battle with the army outside the imperial city.

The people in the imperial city closed their doors, fires shot into the sky under the city walls, arrows rained densely, and the sound of killings shook the sky.

At Yin Shi, a sharp arrow hit the commander of the Prince's faction. The subordinates of the Ninth Prince's faction rode on their horses and shouted that the commander was dead. They were leaderless, the army was demoralized, and the city gate was lost.

At Mao hour, the prince, dressed in dragon robes, accepted the kneeling ceremony of the officials. Before he could take his seat, he heard a "bang" sound, and the palace door was knocked open. The commander of the imperial guards rebelled, and the cavalry surrounded the court without any effort.

The officials who dared to be angry but dared not speak out under the tyranny of the prince burst into tears and immediately rebuked the prince for his atrocities.

The prince stared at the door, and within a moment, a man wearing armor entered the hall against the light.

When he stood still, the prince's pupils shrank: "Gu Zhen didn't expect, Ninth Brother, it turned out that you were the one who was hiding the deepest... Kui Gu and Seventh Brother fought to the death... I didn't expect that, Gu Zhen didn't expect..."

The man who led 100,000 elite troops to quell the national calamity was actually the Ninth Prince with disabled legs. The courtiers were partly surprised, partly pleased, and partly frightened.

The Ninth Prince was holding a long sword, and he was clean and clean. There was no trace of blood on his face. If you ignored the long sword that was still bleeding, you would have thought it was some cynical young prince.

"Solitary?" The Ninth Prince raised his lips and smiled, "The deposed prince, you still don't recognize your identity."

He threw out a roll of imperial edict, pointed the bloody sword at the person beside him, and said softly: "Read it."

He threw the imperial edict that ordinary officials would enshrine on the ground casually, even stained with blood. This was extremely disrespectful, but no one stood up to accuse him.

With the sword pointed at the minister, he was trembling with fear and couldn't pick up the imperial edict for a long time. At this time, another hand with clear joints picked it up steadily, and a warm voice resounded throughout the hall:

"The prince's misbehavior is not worthy of the position of crown prince. Let him be declared to heaven and earth, and the ancestral temple should be abolished."

The prince's expression changed: "Why is the imperial edict in your hands..."

He suddenly looked at the little eunuch beside him and understood immediately.

"Ninth brother, hahahaha, good, good means! Hahahaha——"
