Chapter 18: Killing your brother and killing your father(1/2)

"By the way, there is another news. Your Majesty appointed Song Mo as General Huaihua to Annan to pacify the rebellion."

Ji Yong's words made Qin Hao's hand holding the cup pause.

"It seems that it's time to use Song Mo's pawn."

Three days later, Yan Chaoqing handed a secret letter to Song Mo: "Young Marshal, a secret letter from the King of Qin."

Song Mo took it and looked at it, his eyes suddenly turned red and a mouthful of black blood spurted out.

"Okay, Song Yichun, so that's it. One day, you will definitely pay your British family's blood debts and blood debts!"

Then, Song Mo replied to Qin Hao with only one sentence, allowing me to take revenge and let you drive it.

A month later, Song Mo led an army of 200,000 to fight against Annan, and it took only half a year to pacify Annan. Zhu Jianshen praised Song Mo's bravery and appointed Song Mo as General of the Chariot and Cavalry.

In the following two years, the world was peaceful, but Qin Hao knew that this was just the tranquility before the storm. On the one hand, he cooperated with Dou Zhao in business to obtain a lot of money, and on the other hand, he prepared for the opportunity.

In the autumn of the 27th year of Chengping, the Empress was ill and King Qing asked to return to Beijing to visit.

There were many opposition voices in the court. Wu Ge Lao and other staunch princeling members were afraid that Zhu Jianshen would be shaken by his heirs after King Qing returned to Beijing. After all, King Qing had spent a lot of money over the years, and there were many followers in the court. He forced King Qing to be a virtuous king, and the prince's performance over the years was really lacking.

The only opportunity to increase disaster relief to increase fame was also destroyed by Dingguo Duke Jiang Meisun.

The King Qing party was confronting each other, accusing Wu Gelao and others of being punished.

"I have always ruled the world with filial piety. Now that Li Zhen surrenders, the situation in Liaodong is stable. It is natural for His Highness King Qing to return to Beijing to fulfill his filial piety."

"That's right, it's against His Highness Qing's return to Beijing. It's against human ethics, and both humans and gods are angry."

Zhu Jianshen was troubled by the quarrel, but in the end he was soft-hearted and agreed to let King Qing return to Beijing.

However, this time, King Qing brought not only his personal guards, but also a total of 100,000 troops. In the words of King Qing's party, King Qing's military achievements have been outstanding over the years and has offended many people. The army was to protect King Qing.

These are the elites trained by King Qing in Liaodong. Although they were not allowed to enter the city without Zhu Jianshen's order, the arrival of these 100,000 elites in Liaodong completely broke the balance of the armed forces in the capital.

Over the years, King Qing has used various means to buy or eliminate dissidents, and has installed many confidants among the imperial guards in the capital. These people, coupled with the 100,000 troops brought by King Qing, are enough to support King Qing to launch a coup.

Mr. Wu and others realized the danger and quickly persuaded the prince to make suggestions to Zhu Jianshen and asked King Qing to return to his fiefdom as soon as possible.

The prince felt that King Qing was filial to his mother and had no reason to stop him. He was so anxious that Mr. Wu jumped straight away, and even the princess cursed.

"You are so stupid. You talk about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness to others. They have their swords on our necks!"

Seeing that the prince was really unable to persuade him, Master Wu Ge could only tell Zhu Jianshen about his interests.

Although Zhu Jianshen was unwilling to believe that King Qing dared to rebel, as the emperor, he still issued an imperial edict, summoning Song Mo to lead his army back to Beijing.

As soon as he saw Mr. Wu away, Zhu Jianshen was still feeling uneasy, so he called Wang Yuan in front of him.

"I will draw another secret decree and send it to Shaanxi in a hurry for 800 miles."

Half a month later, Qin Hao received Zhu Jianshen's secret order, and a smile finally appeared on his face that had been tense.

Ji Yong took the imperial edict and saw it, and was overjoyed: "Congratulations to Your Highness, this secret edict is justified in order to conquer the world."

As the middle of winter approaches, the weather in the capital becomes increasingly colder.

Zhu Jianshen's health is getting worse and worse, but Empress Wan, who has always been sick, is radiant.

Kunning Palace.

Queen Wan leaned halfway on the bed, and a palace maid hurriedly came to report: "Empress, Your Highness, King Qing, asked for a meeting."

"Let him come in." Queen Wan waved her hand, and the eunuch beside her helped her up.

Soon, King Qing walked in with great strides: "My son and I will pay my respects to the Queen of Mother."

"Okay, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be polite, just sit down."

"Thank you for your mother."

With a look in Queen Wan, the close eunuch, Eunuch Wang, waved away the palace maids and eunuchs who were serving him.

"What's so anxious? In the future, you will be the king of a country. You have no concentration. How do I teach you on weekdays?"

In front of Queen Wan, King Qing, who is usually arrogant and domineering, is as gentle as a pet dog.

"My mother forgives her crime. My son received the news that my father has issued an order to return to Beijing. If we don't take action, we may miss the opportunity."

Empress Wan frowned when she heard this: "Song Mo, it's this Song Mo again. She has the same temper as his uncle Jiang Meisun, and is smelly and hard."

"Since you have decided, let go, I will help you at critical moments."

"Thank you, when your son-in-law sits in that position, you will be able to serve in front of your mother."

After coming out of Kunning Palace, King Qing's aura suddenly changed and he whispered to his confidants: "Tonight, we will gather all the key people to our mansion and discuss important matters."

"yes."

That night, the Qingwang Mansion was brightly lit, and on the surface, King Qing Guang invited guests to sing and dance. In fact, in the secret room of the Wang Mansion study, King Qing was discussing the action plan for rebellion with the central figures of his party.

"Everyone, at midnight tomorrow, I will follow my order and take down the capital in one go. When the Japanese king ascends the throne, you will have the merit of following the dragon, and you will be promoted to the title and be granted a wife and son. I will never let you down."

"I wish to die for Your Highness!"

The next night, the first snow in Chengping's 27th year came quietly. Just as the people in the capital were looking forward to auspicious snow that marked a good harvest, King Qing's subordinates had quietly launched their actions.

With the heavy snow, the imperial guards on duty at the Meridian Gate shrank their necks and blew the cold wind, cursing the ghost weather.

Suddenly, a guarded imperial guard saw someone flashing by below, and immediately became alert and shouted: "Who? Who is there?"

"Kill~~~"

Seeing that his whereabouts had been revealed, King Qing immediately ordered a strong attack.

The imperial guards on the city never thought that there would be someone who dared to attack the imperial city, and they were completely unprepared. When they came to warn, crossbow arrows had already flew up to the city, and screamed in tears for a while.

At the same time, a large number of agile Liaodong elites carried the ladder and began to climb, shouting and killing were shocking.

However, the imperial guards who were selected to guard the imperial city were all elite. They soon organized defense under the leadership of the commander, and the two sides fought fiercely.

Seeing that the Meridian Gate was unable to succeed for a while, King Qing quickly increased his troops to Donghuamen and Xihuamen.

Finally, half an hour later, Donghua Gate was broken, the city gate defender died in battle, and soon Xihua Gate was also conquered, and then the Meridian Gate could not resist the loss.

King Qing sent three confidants to guard the three gates, and then personally led people to kill to the Eastern Palace, and at the same time sent people to control the Ganqing Palace.

The battle in front of the East Palace gate was extremely fierce. Although the prince's personal guards had a good position, they were too few and had no preparation at all. They were soon broken through the gate by King Qing.

For a moment, the entire Eastern Palace became a Shura hell, and screams were endless.

The prince was protected by the remaining personal guards in the bedroom.

Outside the bedroom, there were densely packed with King Qing's soldiers.

"Brother, I have told you that you are not suitable to be the prince. If you gave up your throne earlier, you and my brother would not have been like this today."

King Qing looked like a victorious attitude and said proudly.

The prince angrily rebuked: "Rebellious ministers, even if you kill me, your father will never pass the throne to you."

"Haha, you are so stupid to say you are naive. Now the entire Forbidden City is in my hands. As long as you have an edict, I will be the legitimate emperor!"

"You dare to kill your father and king!" The prince widened his eyes.

"Why don't I dare? If he knew the appearance and abdicate with me, maybe I could let him live a few more days. If he didn't know the appearance, my sword would not recognize others."

After King Qing finished speaking, he waved his hand and fired a volley of crossbows. The prince's personal guards fell down in pieces, and in the end, only the prince and the princess were left, hugging each other in panic.

"Brother, sister-in-law, fourth brother has sent you on your way."

"You, you must die a bad death..."

King Qing spitted at the bodies of the two: "Hmph, I will curse me before I die. The person who came to burn their bodies to fire. I will crush them to ashes!"

After dealing with the prince, King Qing immediately led his army to the outside of the Ganqing Palace. The guards of the Ganqing Palace ran away to death, leaving only a group of eunuchs blocking the door.

"My son wishes to my father and asks him to show up to see him."

In the Ganqing Palace, Zhu Jianshen coughed and used a handkerchief to send it out, and a mouthful of black blood gushed out.

"His Majesty……"

Wang Yuan wanted Zhu Jianshen to lie down again, but he pushed him away: "I will change my clothes for me, but I will meet this rebellious son!"

"Slaves obey the order."

Wang Yuan put on a dragon robe for Zhu Jianshen with tears in his eyes, and then helped him out of the palace.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but cough. If Wang Yuan hadn't supported him, he wouldn't even stand steadily.

"The father is ill and does not give the throne to pass on to the sons. The sons promise that you will be able to live your life and die in your sleep."

King Qing said proudly.

"Rebellious son! I don't believe that you dare to kill your brother and father!" Zhu Jianshen pointed at King Qing and cursed.

King Qing laughed: "Father, I finally know who my brother's innocence has inherited. Unfortunately, I am not as stupid as you. If I don't have complete preparations, how could I do it?"

As he said that, King Qing clapped his hands and a palace maid held a wooden box in her hand and held it in front of her.

"How could the jade seal in your hands..." Zhu Jianshen suddenly thought of something, and he was completely disappointed.

Since he was in good health, in order to reduce the burden, he asked Empress Wan to help deal with the government affairs. Later, for convenience, he simply handed over the imperial seal to Empress Wan in charge. Now it seems that even the person next to him is standing opposite him and will kill him.
