Chapter 279 If you don't give it, I'll take it myself!
When Gao Cheng was scolded by Xiao Jue, his expression changed and he silently took a step back.
Xiao Chengye looked at Xiao Jue and said slowly: "His Royal Highness is so majestic."
He took a step forward, looked at Xiao Jue condescendingly, and asked word for word: "Is the prince trying to force the palace?"
"Father, there is no need to speak so harshly," Xiao Jue said softly, "I am also doing this for my father's good."
"Father, please don't embarrass me." Xiao Jue looked up at Xiao Chengye and said softly, "I have been the prince for so many years and I have learned everything I need to learn. I will leave the country in my hands.
I will definitely not let you down."
Xiao Chengye closed his eyes: "Just because I betrothed Qin Zhen to the third child, you hold a grudge?"
Xiao Jue's originally smiling face suddenly turned gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Father, she was originally mine, you should not have promised her to anyone else."
"But it doesn't matter, I will get back everything that belongs to me." Xiao Jue said calmly.
Xiao Chengye: "Have you been waiting for this day for a long time? Prince, you are tired of doing this. You can't wait to sit in my position and experience the feeling of ruling the world, right?"
Xiao Jue: "My son is also considerate of his father and shares his worries."
Xiao Chengye: "What if I say, I don't agree?"
Xiao Jue was silent for a moment, stood up slowly, stared at Xiao Chengye, and said slowly: "Since my father is unwilling to give it, I can only reach out and take it myself."
As soon as he finished speaking, the lights behind him suddenly brightened up. Soldiers were mobilized from who knows where and surrounded the entire Qinzheng Palace.
Xiao Jue stepped back, stood in front of those people, and said loudly to Xiao Chengye: "Father, father and son, it's better not to make it so ugly, right?"
He reached out to his side, and Yuan Xu silently handed Xiao Jue a long-prepared imperial edict of succession.
Xiao Jue took the edict and said to Xiao Chengye: "As long as my father adds his seal to the edict, he will still be my most respected father."
Qin Hong stood sideways in front of Xiao Chengye and looked at Xiao Jue coldly, as if he were looking at a dead person.
Xiao Chengye's face turned pale with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I never dreamed that after so many years, I would raise such a white-eyed wolf like you. In your eyes, is there still a relationship between father and son, and is there any dignity between the king and his ministers?
?Beast, you won’t succeed!”
Xiao Jue's face turned gloomy after being scolded, and he said sternly: "Since my father is unwilling to help me, there is nothing to say."
Qin Hong said at this time: "Your Highness, do you think everything will go as you want? Do you think too little of me, Qin Hong?"
Xiao Jue seemed to have just seen Qin Hong, and said coldly: "Are you talking about your so-called forbidden troops?"
Xiao Jue sneered and said slowly: "Thanks to you for organizing the wedding banquet for your daughter, otherwise they would not have drunk the wedding wine sent by the palace. At this time, they are probably drunk and unconscious, right?"
"Really?" Qin Hong smiled and said, "It seems that His Royal Highness knows my imperial army very well."
"Qin Hong, put down your weapons obediently and stop struggling pointlessly." Xiao Jue said in a deep voice, "If you surrender now, for Qin Zhen's sake, I might be able to spare your life."
Qin Hong sneered: "You are dreaming."
Xiao Jue's face suddenly darkened, and he said loudly: "Do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people behind him raised their swords and gathered around Qinzheng Hall.
Qin Hong protected Xiao Chengye and retreated to the Qinzheng Hall. When Xiao Chengye had just retreated into the hall, the shouts of killing suddenly stopped.
I saw the drunken and unconscious imperial guards mentioned by the prince appeared out of nowhere, and surrounded the entire Qinzheng Hall on three floors inside and three outside, completely cutting off the prince's people.
After a while, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the surrounding area of Qinzheng Hall was filled with flames.
Xiao Chengye looked at Qin Hong, who was standing like a mountain at the door, frowned and asked, "Have you already made arrangements?"
Qin Hong did not look back, only whispered: "Your Majesty trusts me and entrusts me with all his life and property. How can I disappoint Your Majesty? It is impossible for the people under my command to drink anything of unknown origin at will."
When Xiao Chengye heard this, his doubts disappeared a lot.
On the other side, Xiao Jue looked at the sudden appearance of the Forbidden Army in shock, turned around and shouted at Yuan Xu: "Didn't you say it's all done? Is this what you said it's done?"
Yuan Xu was even more shocked than Xiao Jue.
"I, I watched them drink with my own eyes. I saw it with my own eyes." Yuan Xu has been a counselor for so long and has always been strategizing. This is the first time he has been so panicked. "I don't know.
What went wrong? I obviously watched them fall before..."
Xiao Jue kicked him over and cursed angrily: "Is this what you call seeing with your own eyes? Yuanxu, is this your ability to do things? It is something that fails to succeed but is more than enough to expose."
"No wonder your father looks down on you, you really can't even compare to Yuan Chu's toes." Xiao Jue scolded as if he was crazy, "Yuan Chu has been in southern Xinjiang for two years, relying on his own ability to fight all the way.
You have been promoted to Major General, and you are like a bug hiding in the gutter, only trying to trick people behind their backs. Now that you can't even do a small thing, why do you still want to compete with Yuan Chu? You have never been better than Yuan Chu in your life.
Not on!"
Yuan Xu was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he couldn't say a word.
He clenched his fists tightly, and Xiao Jue's words were going back and forth in his mind like a curse. His background was not as good as that of Yuan Chu, who was his legitimate son, his abilities were not as good as Yuan Chu's, and he was not as good as Yuan Chu's in anything.
Chu... so his father never saw him, as if he didn't have a son.
Just as he was about to get up from the ground, a hand suddenly stretched out from beside him and lifted Yuan Xu up from the ground.
Yuan Xu looked back and met his father's stern eyes.
Yuan Xu was stunned: "Father, father..."
"You still have the nerve to call me father?" The old man of the Yuan family slapped Yuan Xu on the face and cursed, "Evil son!"
"Did you know that you would kill the whole family!" Mr. Yuan's eyes turned red with anger.
Yuan Xu was beaten until he fell to the ground, but he did not dare to say a word.
The old man turned his head and glanced at the prince standing aside. Without saying a word, he directly ordered: "Take this evil boy away."
After saying that, he directly carried Yuan Xu away in a swaggering manner.
Xiao Jue could only watch helplessly.
On the way, the old man of the Yuan family said to Yuan Xu in a cold voice: "Today, if Yuan Chu had not had some friendship with the prince and had received a message to take you away in advance, if you had made a big mistake by letting you stay until the end, our entire Yuan family would probably have
I will be killed by you."
Yuan Xu was stunned for a moment, and then said in shock: "Prince? You mean the third prince?"
His mind was spinning rapidly, and he murmured: "So, the third prince has known about it for a long time. He has been prepared for it, and is waiting for His Highness to fall into the trap..."
