"Come here, the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau has rebelled! Your Majesty has been assassinated!"
After the fourth prince finished shouting, the men in black around him also shouted.
In the feudal era, regicide and patricide were both treasonous crimes.
The fourth prince had both. If word spread, let alone how it would be recorded in the history books, the people's saliva would drown him.
Therefore, the powerful people had already thought of a countermeasure before taking action - to throw dirty water on the head of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
"Your Highness, the country cannot live without a king for a day. Now that the late emperor has passed away, please Your Highness to ascend the throne as soon as possible and stabilize the government!"
The fourth prince's uncle knelt on the ground and shouted.
"Please, His Highness, ascend the throne as soon as possible and stabilize the imperial court!"
Other ministers also knelt down and shouted.
An official from the Ministry of Etiquette took out a bright yellow dragon robe that had already been made from the bag on his back and put it on the fourth prince.
"See your majesty! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"
All the loser ministers bowed their heads and kowtowed!
"Everyone loves you... everyone loves you!"
The fourth prince raised his hands slightly, trying to appear calmer, but his hands could not help but tremble.
The battle for the throne is always cruel. Since ancient times, countless princes and ministers have died fighting for the throne.
The fourth prince's original goal was to overthrow the prince and become the new prince himself.
Jin Feng helped him realize this wish.
He originally thought he would have to wait decades more to inherit the throne, but who knew his dream would come true so quickly.
"The demon Jin Feng deceived the king and became arrogant because of his favor. He not only forcibly occupied the Ninth Princess Wuyang, but also bewitched the late emperor to issue a series of imperial orders that brought disaster to the world. It was truly a heinous crime!
I declare that from now on, Jin Feng will be expelled from all his titles and official titles, and I will inform the historians that Jin Feng will be included in the list of those who caused chaos in the country and will be reviled by future generations forever!
After Jin Feng became the national counselor, all the imperial orders issued by the former emperor were invalidated and the old system was restored!
The Zhenyuan Escort Bureau and the Zhenyuan Army under Jin Feng are running rampant and domineering all over the world, taking human life seriously. From now on, all places must be encircled and suppressed with all their strength!
The Ministry of War immediately established the Northern Expeditionary Army and headed to Yuguan City to take over the city defense matters!"
The fourth prince loudly issued his first imperial order after ascending the throne.
This is also the agreement he reached with the powerful.
"My Holy Emperor!"
The ministers kneeling on the ground praised loudly.
The pressure that Jin Feng put on them some time ago was so great that the powerful people were almost breathless.
Well now, Jin Feng is dead, the emperor has changed, and the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau and Zhenyuan Army have also become rebellious bandits.
The world is once again in the hands of the powerful!
A few streets away, Luo Lan and Cao Dong, the head of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau in the capital, didn't know yet that they had become bandits. They were standing on the top floor of the Chamber of Commerce, looking anxiously to the west.
They saw the explosion in the palace and the mushroom cloud in the west. They immediately sent people to investigate and were waiting for news.
"How could a good warehouse explode?"
Cao Dong frowned and said: "I clearly arranged for people to check every day, especially near the gunpowder magazine. No one is allowed to approach within a hundred feet!"
"Is it because the weather is too hot?" Luo Lan speculated.
"Maybe." Cao Dong said helplessly.
While the two were talking, an escort rushed into the escort office on horseback and went straight to the top floor.
This escort went to the palace to investigate and came back faster.
"How's it going? What happened in the palace?"
Cao Dong asked: "Are Xiao Zhou and the others okay?"
"I don't know. The palace is blocked and I can't get in." The bodyguard replied.
"The palace is blocked?"
Cao Dong and Luo Lan frowned at the same time.
Luo Lan was about to send someone to investigate again, when another escort came in on horseback.
This escort went to explore outside the city.
Compared to the palace, Cao Dong and Luo Lan were more concerned about the warehouses outside the city.
Cao Dong ran to the stairs. Before the escort came up, he asked: "How is it? Are there any casualties?"
The warehouse explosion was an extremely serious safety incident. According to the regulations of the Escort Bureau, Cao Dong, the person in charge of the capital, must bear responsibility.
If there are casualties, the penalty will be more severe.
Cao Dong no longer expected to keep his position, he just prayed that no one would die.
"There are casualties, and the casualties are very serious!"
The escort replied: "When I arrived, there were only more than thirty brothers guarding the warehouse..."
"how so?"
Cao Dong's eyes suddenly widened.
He knew that people would probably die in the explosion, and he was mentally prepared to be raped.
But he didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.
There were a large number of grenades and many hot air balloons in the warehouse outside the city, and Cao Dong arranged for a company to be responsible for the defense.
There were more than 100 people, but now there are only more than 30 dead...
When Zhang Liang took back Yuguan City from the Eastern Barbarians, so many people didn't die!
Cao Dong really couldn't understand that there were more than a hundred people scattered throughout the warehouse. Even if the gunpowder warehouse exploded, it would not be possible to kill so many people!
"What happened to the warehouse?" Luo Lan realized something was wrong, frowned and asked, "Why did it explode?"
"The brothers guarding the warehouse said that the warehouse was bombed on the order of their relations officer!" the bodyguard replied.
"Laoguan exploded? Why?" Luo Lan asked.
The first thought that came to her mind was that the liaison chief had rebelled, but then she gave up the thought.
The chief of staff is from Guanjia Village, or Guan Xiaorou's distant cousin. His wife and children are still in the village, so the possibility of rebellion is very small.
"Tell me, what happened?" Cao Dong glared at the escort and yelled.
"A quarter of an hour before the explosion, a group of people sneaked into the warehouse and tried to steal the jade beads inside. They were discovered by the patrolling brothers."
The escort said: "The thieves dispersed in a hurry. The chief of staff gathered all the brothers to catch the thief, and then sent him to the school yard. Who knew that another group of people rushed out, and while the brothers were gathering in the school yard, they forced their way into the warehouse through the back door, thinking
To rob the gunpowder magazine.
At that time, there were only three brothers on duty at the powder magazine. By the time the company commander rushed over with his men, the gangsters had already occupied the powder magazine.
Only then did the company commander realize that he had fallen into the enemy's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
There were not only grenades and flash mines in the powder magazine, but also hot-air balloons. The relations officer immediately ordered a storming of the powder magazine.
However, there were too many villains, and they also occupied the fortress outside the gunpowder magazine. Almost half of the brothers died before they could rush in.
Seeing that the gangsters had begun to inflate the hot air balloon, the chief relations officer knew that it could not be delayed any longer, so he sent someone to pull the heavy crossbow and catapult at the entrance of the cloth warehouse, blast the wall of the powder warehouse, and then use the catapult to smash the kerosene tank inside...
…”
After listening to the escort's words, Luo Lan and Cao Dong were silent.
There are grenades and hot-air balloons in the gunpowder magazine. If they fall into the wrong hands, the consequences will be disastrous.
So they could understand the decision of the company commander, but neither of them could understand. With the current prestige of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, who would dare to storm their warehouse?
"Have you found out the origin of the villain?" Luo Lan asked with a frown.
"No matter who they are, they must pay with blood!" Cao Dong gritted his teeth and said.
The escort was about to answer when he suddenly saw a heavily armed Imperial Guard team running around the corner and stopping at the entrance of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau.
