Chapter 1116 Female Phase 54
Commander Fang naturally did not want to fulfill his duties faithfully. Although his loyalty to the emperor was unquestionable, loyalty did not mean that he was not afraid of death. He was willing to die.
Commander Fang stood on the wall of the palace and shouted loudly in the direction of the eldest prince without any hope.
"First Prince, don't do stupid things. Even if you succeed in your rebellion today, you will not be able to ascend the throne. None of the ministers in the court will recognize your status. The generals outside will also send troops to serve the king.
The eldest prince, you are the emperor's son and you are qualified to aspire to the throne. Why are you so unthinking about starting a rebellion?
If you stop here, you are the emperor's flesh and blood, and the emperor will definitely not kill you. If you continue, you will truly become a sinner for the ages. No prince who killed his father has ever been able to ascend the throne."
The eldest prince felt bitter. He didn't know that rebellion was not a good way. It was best to ascend to the throne step by step. Unfortunately, he was being plotted against him and this road was no longer possible. Now he could only walk on the road of rebellion.
To black.
The eldest prince sneered: "Commander Fang, you are a fool. Don't you know how cruel my father is? If my father cares about flesh and blood, how could my fourth brother end up being imprisoned?"
Besides, when will I kill my father? When I ascend the throne, my father will be the Supreme Emperor, and I will be filial to my father.
Commander Fang, you will definitely not be able to hold on today. If you are willing to stop resisting right now, when I ascend the throne, you will have a bright future, so why are you struggling so hard?"
Commander Fang was unwilling to surrender and give up his loyalty to the emperor, and the eldest prince was unable to turn back. In the end, neither of them could convince the other, so they could only shut up and fight while the other defended.
In the palace, the emperor's face was red with anger and he coughed from time to time. The maids and eunuchs were hiding in groups, their faces full of despair.
Song Lianfeng worriedly stayed by the emperor's side. The emperor patted the bedside, coughed and cursed angrily: "This traitor, this traitor! I'm not dead yet, and he dares to rebel! traitor! traitor! Cough cough cough..."
Song Lianfeng hurriedly helped the emperor's fate. While he was worried about his own fate and that of the emperor, he also felt disgusted with the eldest prince.
He said that the eldest prince always came to the palace to see if the emperor was sick, but why he never revealed that the emperor was seriously ill, so that the courtiers pressured the emperor to make him the prince in charge of national affairs. It turned out that the eldest prince wanted more than he wanted.
I want to be the emperor in one step!
The emperor's palace is in danger, and the residences of important ministers in the capital are about to be attacked by the eldest prince's uncle.
At this critical moment, outside the emperor's palace, the armor-clad General An led his troops and divine generals to attack from behind. Together with Commander Fang in front, they directly surrounded the eldest prince's men.
At the same time, soldiers and generals suddenly appeared in front of the residences of the important ministers in the capital, catching the rioters who were attacking the ministers' residences, and relieving the crisis for many important ministers.
The eldest prince did not bring as many people as General An, and he was quickly defeated. The eldest prince was also arrested by General An's men.
The crisis was resolved, and the emperor summoned General An in the palace. As for the eldest prince, the emperor did not see him at all, and directly had the eldest prince locked up.
The emperor looked at General An, who had not been in court for many years, and sighed. He had never thought that General An would come to rescue him. As for why General An came so timely, the emperor did not doubt that General An had any problem.
What a trick.
General An holds military power. Although the Jingxi camp is not under his control, once soldiers are mobilized on a large scale, General Anda will inevitably be alerted. If he cannot even know this information, the emperor will not be so wary of the weapons in the hands of General An.
military power.
Now that General An came to his rescue in time, the emperor's suspicion of General An was reduced a lot.
Looking at General An, the emperor felt happy and said directly: "Ai Qing has done a great job in rescuing you. I wonder what reward you want?"
The emperor did not mean to test when he said this. Sometimes the emperor speaks in many twists and turns, making it difficult for people to guess what he is thinking, but sometimes he goes straight to the point. Who is he to be an emperor? He has the ability to be willful.
General An knelt down on the ground, took out the tiger talisman he had prepared from his sleeve, raised his hands and said to the emperor: "It is my duty to be loyal to the emperor. I don't need any reward. On the contrary, I ask the emperor to take back the tiger talisman in my hand."
."
The tiger symbol represents military power, and General An's move is equivalent to handing over the general's power with both hands.
The emperor had been concerned about the military power in the hands of General An for a long time, but he did not expect that General An would directly choose to hand over the general power after making a contribution to the rescue.
This made the emperor a little confused about General An, and he frowned slightly: "What does Aiqing mean by this?"
"Your Majesty, I know that your Majesty has always felt that I was the confidant of the former Crown Prince and was always loyal to the former Crown Prince. However, Your Majesty, I have always been loyal to the Emperor. I am loyal to the late emperor, to the former prince, and now to you, the emperor.
In the past, I clung to the military power not because I was greedy for power, but because I didn’t dare to let it go. I know that the emperor is very clear about rewards and punishments. Now I will definitely be protected by the emperor, so I can hand over the military power with peace of mind.
emperor."
General An's words were true. General An still remembered that when he was on the top of the mountain, the girl once told him with a smile that in front of the emperor, it was easier to gain the emperor's trust by speaking outright than beating around the bush.
Sure enough, when General An said this, the emperor's eyes softened instantly. In the past, the emperor had never thought from the perspective of General An, so he had always been suspicious of General An.
Now that General An had shown his loyalty to him with his actions, the emperor thought about it from General An's perspective.
It is said that General An never had the idea of taking sides with the prince. The reason why he became the confidant of the former prince was because of the order of the former emperor.
After he ascended the throne, General An never did anything to cause trouble for him. He stayed in the palace honestly. When there were many people in the court who wanted General An to die, it was no wonder that General An arrested him.
I dare not let go of the military power.
Now that he has saved the country, he not only did not take the opportunity to ask for rewards, but immediately handed over military power. Such a person is not a loyal minister, but who is a loyal minister?
Love makes him want to live, hate makes him want to die, these are the characteristics of the emperor. The emperor thinks that General An is loyal, and now he is pleased with General An no matter what he looks at.
"Ai Qing is truly a rare loyal minister. Don't worry, Ai Qing, you are so loyal to me. I will never let anyone bully you."
General An looked grateful and bowed deeply: "I thank you, Your Majesty."
In General An's heart, he really admired Yin Shuangshuang at this moment. Now he not only had the protection of the emperor, but also saved those important ministers, and these people naturally included his political opponents.
After receiving his help, no matter whether they were grateful or not, at least they would not attack General An again. Otherwise, they would be ungrateful and no one wanted to deal with such a person.
After this incident, General An not only became the emperor's trusted confidant, but also all the political opponents in the court were eliminated, completely solving all the worries of General An.
