When Eunuch Jia saw the Eighth Prince's order, the soldiers behind him seemed to be desperate and rushed towards the top of the city. He also felt a sense of horror.
Looking at the soldiers who wanted to climb the city wall with the simplest wooden ladder, Eunuch Jia realized that the Eighth Prince had probably obtained the morale of the army, and not only that, the person the Grand Marshal wanted to support was not the fifth prince, but the one in front of him, and the one in front of him was indeed cruel enough to completely ignore the imperial edict. At present, unless His Majesty came out intact, no one could stop him, even if he was a congenital master.
"Eunuch Jia, what should I do?" The guard asked when he saw that the other party had crossed the moat.
"Can you let the soldiers guarding the city stop the army from siege?" Eunuch Jia asked the defender.
"This is all the Chu army, I...I..."
Seeing that he was so timid, Eunuch Jia immediately understood that he had new ideas at this time, and he had to do so, otherwise he would fall into a place of doom.
When the army attacked the city, no soldiers on the top of the city dared to rush up to fight. This made the soldiers on the city wall even more energetic. They just felt that they were fighting to the death in front of them, and that these playboys enjoyed their happiness behind them was simply an insult.
Soon the soldiers who had stepped onto the city wall rushed down immediately and opened the city gate directly. The Eighth Prince also immediately led the cavalry to rush in.
At this moment, Eunuch Jia had already run down from the city and ran to the Eighth Prince.
The Eighth Prince looked at the confidant of His Majesty and also stopped the horse and asked, "Eunuch Jia, do you still want to stop me?"
Eunuch Jia immediately said: "Your Highness, how dare I, I, I am just that if Your Majesty does not accept the order, how can you become the crown prince just right?"
"You said that the father wanted me to be the crown prince?" The eighth prince doubted whether he had heard it wrong.
But Eunuch Jia affirmed: "It is true. When Your Majesty is dead, when you think back to all the princes, only the Eighth Highness was with his soldiers and fighting bloody battles with the enemy when Chu State was in crisis. Only Your Highness really threw away his blood for Chu State. Therefore, Your Highness appointed Your Highness as the crown prince. Of course, now the king is in danger. Your Highness feels that there is no need to abide by those etiquettes and can also engage in cheap work, but please ask Your Highness to keep the order."
Eunuch Jia presented it with both hands, and the Eighth Prince was also a little afraid of the old eunuch. After all, the other party was a congenital master, so he asked the guards around him to come over.
The two kept a distance. The Eighth Prince opened the imperial edict and immediately saw the contents clearly. A hint of surprise in his eyes. Then he looked at Eunuch Jia in front of him. At this moment, he also understood everything, and then said: "Thank you, Eunuch Jia, for risking his life to deliver this order to the orphan. Now that the father is seriously ill, the three and the sixth brother hold their father hostage, wanting to obtain the throne. The soldiers obeyed the orders and followed me into the palace to capture the traitor."
The changes here were completely unknown in the palace, and the six princes waiting to succeed him even arrived at the palace of his father.
The King of Chu was indeed unable to do it. He was in a coma for a long time and was confused to wake up. He looked at some tonics and breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, no tonics were needed anymore.
Now, looking at the old man who was barely breathing, a trace of disdain flashed in his heart.
Xiong Leiting was so powerful back then, but in the end he became the King of Chu. At that time, Chu defeated the Southern Barbarians and destroyed the Wu Kingdom. How powerful is it. In just a few decades, the territory north of Hengshui was completely destroyed. After he ascended the throne, he must be the king.
"Wang'er, your father is leaving, and Chu will rely on you in the future."
In the bedroom, the concubines of the three major clans were originally left here, and no one was willing to leave, but now, there is only the biological mother of Concubine Jing, the sixth prince.
"Don't worry, my mother, my son will definitely let the State of Chu overcome the difficulties and become stronger again." The sixth prince said ambitiously.
"Empress, Your Highness."
At this moment, the cry of Concubine Jing’s personal palace maid came from the palace.
"Taoer, what's wrong with you? He screamed." After Jing Fei asked the palace maid in, she scolded her in surprise.
"Your Highness, Empress..."
Before Tao'er finished speaking, the two of them heard a riot outside. Then Concubine Jing saw that her father rushed in with a few confidants, but the few people looked panicked, as if they had reached the end of their lives.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Jing Fei asked in horror.
"It's over, Lao Ba and his men came in." Clan Chief Jing said with a trembling voice.
"How is this possible with the Eighth brother bringing people in? Can Xiong Xuzhi have the courage?" The Sixth Prince was shocked when he heard this.
As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of soldiers rushed in, and the leader was Xiong Xuzhi.
At this time, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the true successor of the imperial edict, and sneered: "Sixth brother dared to falsely pass the imperial edict and murder his father. How could I not have the courage to eliminate the thief?"
"you……"
The sixth prince wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Xiong Xuzhi ordered directly: "Your Majesty has been murdered, and all the traitors will be killed without mercy."
With his order, the soldiers around him ignored the king's bedroom and directly killed him.
There is no nonsense. Since the killing is started, there is only complete killing.
At this moment, not only the King of Chu's bedroom, but also not only the palace, but the entire royal city is under the blade.
When night fell, all the officials of Chu who were qualified to attend the dynasty meeting had been notified or ordered by soldiers to go to the palace, where they met Qu Xiong.
Everyone just thought that all this was done by Qu Xiong. Some went up to ask, while others cursed directly, but Qu Xiong just stood there motionless, allowing these court officials to talk nonsense. Until after dark, Eunuch Jia hurried out, and everyone subconsciously calmed down.
When Eunuch Jia saw this scene, he cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty has passed away. When Your Majesty is dead, let the old slave write a letter of edict to pass the throne and let the Eighth Highness succeed to the throne."
"So possible?"
"Your Highness is not the three major clans. How can you succeed to the throne and convince the three major clans?"
...
After Eunuch Jia said that, the court was in chaos, but most of them were not surprised by the death of the King of Chu. Instead, they were shocked by the Eighth Highness's succession. Obviously, the King of Chu was afraid when he was alive, and no one would really be sad if he died.
But at this moment, a few heads were suddenly thrown directly from the door to the hall. Is it not the Sixth Prince and the Son, the Clan Chief Jing or who?
As the heads rolled down, a young man, wearing a dragon robe, walked in with a concubine in his forties in his harem. These two men were neither others, but the Eighth Prince and his biological mother.
