"Uncle, why? I am your nephew, I am the bloodline of the Qu family!" The fifth prince looked at Qu Xiong and shouted in a frustration.
Qu Xiong looked at him and said lightly: "If you become king, Chu State will perish. You are the king. Do you think you can survive?"
"How come you have the Grand Marshal?" the fifth prince asked in confusion.
"If I were really that powerful, the State of Chu would not be like this now. I sent letters to the capital before, asking the capital's imperial guards to cross the Hengshui River to the north. Have you ever stood up to support me?" Qu Xiong asked.
The fifth prince immediately had nothing to say, because at that time, he was scolding Qu Xiong like everyone else, and now he naturally had nothing to say.
Now the Eight Prince leads a large army to stand in front of the capital. Before, he only beats drums at most, but now he is wearing armor and standing in front of the city gate, and behind him is the army that is angry to the peak.
"I am the eighth son of Your Majesty Xiong Xuzhi. The guardian at the city gate. I ordered the gate to be opened." The eighth prince shouted loudly in front of the city gate at this moment.
"Your Majesty has an order, and the capital is strictly for martial law and the city gate must not be opened. If Your Highness really wants to come in, I can put down the hanging basket." The guard responded immediately.
When the Eighth Prince Xiong Xuzhi heard this, he immediately said sadly and angry: "What's the point of entering the city by myself? When the Dongyi Mountains Mountains were fighting, hundreds of thousands of troops of Chu and Yue fought with each other until now. The soldiers of Chu State threw their heads and shed their blood. Now there are tens of thousands of wounded people waiting for rescue and resettlement. They finally reached the capital, but now they are turned away. I know that my father thinks it won't be like this. Who delivered the order? Not long ago, when my fifth brother left the city, he said that his father was seriously ill and coma. How to issue an order in his coma?"
Faced with the eighth prince's question, the guard at the city gate had no way to answer.
Seeing this, the Eighth Prince raised his spear high and said, "My soldiers of Chu have fought bloody battles, but now they still suffer such injustice. As a child of the royal family, I cannot ignore it. Everyone obeys the orders and prepares to attack the city. Since you dare to rebel, I will quell the rebellion."
Hearing this, the guard was frightened and immediately shouted: "Eighth Prince, don't do anything randomly, this is the capital."
"I know this is the capital. I will count five numbers. You can send someone to open the door immediately, otherwise I will attack the city. I want to see how many soldiers on the city wall are willing to die for you traitors." The Eighth Prince sneered, but his voice had already spread all over the city wall.
The guard was completely panicked at this moment and could only shout: "Eighth Prince, please wait. I can't make the decision. Give me half an hour."
"Okay, I'll give you half an hour. Once the time comes, we will go in if we don't open the city gate."
"Kill in!" The soldiers behind him also shouted loudly when they heard this.
The incident here reached the ears of the two princes and ministers who were still arguing with each other in the city in less than a quarter of an hour. At this moment, they suspected that the person who sent the message had made a mistake, but soon realized something.
The sixth prince first reacted and shouted with a gloomy face: "No, after Lao Wu went out, he must have encouraged Qu Xiong to force the palace directly. Lao Ba is the first to stand out."
"The Grand Marshal is a famous general of the Chu State. He is said to have 80,000 imperial guards in the city, but many of these 80,000 people are playboys stuffed in by the children of various families. At most, 50,000 people can fight, and these 50,000 people are all scheming." The third prince was still arguing just now, but now he is clear-headed and starts to be afraid.
"Now there is only one way." At this moment, the eunuch general, who was also the most caring person of the King of Chu, stood up.
"Old Jia, this is the time to need you." At this time, the head of the Zhao clan grabbed his arm.
However, Eunuch Jia took back his hand and looked at him and smiled, "Captain Zhao, I understand the thoughts of the Grand Marshal. He will never rebel. He is a loyal minister of the Chu State. So if I go there personally, I will still be sure to persuade the Grand Marshal. But you can't argue here, and I can't do anything at that time."
"What does Eunuch Jia mean?" asked the Chief Zhao clan.
"Although according to the rules of Daxia, the old and the young should be in order, the Chu State is in a turmoil now, and we, the Chu people, shouldn't let those who are capable be kings? The Sixth Prince is above the Third Prince, regardless of his talent or courage, immediately determine the identity of the Sixth Prince, and we are unified from top to bottom, so that we can persuade Qu Xiong. Otherwise, we will be in chaos, and Qu Xiong will really let the fifth Prince take office." Eunuch Jia said.
Hearing this, the face of the Zhao clan leader became a little ugly. At this time, his eyes fell on the faces of the Clan Chief Jing and the Sixth Prince. He turned to look at Eunuch Jia and said, "Haha, it turns out that Eunuch Jia, you have already made a choice early in the morning. As expected, Your Highness Six is ​​still a better move."
"Don't hesitate, otherwise it will be over once you lose control. I can guarantee that the third brother will inherit the position of the sect in the future." The sixth prince said.
"Duke Zhao, this is a drafted edict for the throne. I also asked the head of the Zhao clan to leave a handprint, so did the third prince." At this time, Eunuch Jia took out an imperial edict from his arms, and he was ready.
"Haha, the Sixth Prince is really amazing. You ordered martial law immediately after Lao Wu left the city, and then closing the city gate was probably already at this point. I admit defeat. The Third Prince, let me admit defeat with me."
"My grandfather, do you really have no chance?" the third prince begged.
"The Third Prince and the Fifth Prince will really attack the city in order to obtain the throne, but he is also afraid of His Majesty." said Zhao Clan Chief.
"Hey!" Seeing this, the third prince stomped his feet hard, but he had no choice but to do anything.
The handprints of several people were quickly left on the imperial edict. Eunuch Jia immediately put them away and bowed to the Sixth Prince and said, "Your Highness, the old slave will go to the city to announce the imperial edict. I believe that Your Highness will know what to do when you see Old slave."
"With Eunuch Lao Jia, I will need more assistance from the end of the day." The sixth prince also looked like a respectful and polite person.
"The Sixth Prince is not under Your Majesty. I only know how to obey orders. The matter is imminent and I dare not delay it." Eunuch Jia responded with a smile, and then left gracefully.
"Eunuch Jia, Ning finally comes. If it's a little late, the Eighth Highness will really take action." Seeing Eunuch Jia appear, the guards on the city were relieved.
"No hurry."
Eunuch Jia walked to the city with a smile surrounded by him, looked at the soldiers below, and then took out an imperial edict and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty, even, please dismount and receive the edict."
Seeing Eunuch Jia like this on the top of the city, the Eighth Prince suddenly sneered. Not only did he not dismount at this moment, he raised his spear and pointed it at the top of the city: "The half hour you want has arrived. I will ask the last question, can you open the city gate?"
"Eighth Your Highness, this is Your Majesty's will." Seeing this, Eunuch Jia suddenly realized something was wrong, but he still emphasized again.
