Chapter 240 Xiao Guogong and Jun Hongyan force the palace
Xiao Guogong walked up to the guard who was speaking, looked at him coldly, and drew out his sword. All the dead soldiers behind him drew out their swords in unison.
The guard took a few steps back, looking extremely frightened.
"Anyone who doesn't want to die, get out of here."
Duke Xiao didn't want to waste time on these ants. Besides, when Jun Hongyan became the master of the palace, these people could still guard the door for him.
When the guards who were still holding on to the confrontation heard this, they abandoned their swords and ran away. His Highness the Crown Prince said, just pretend, and stop when you see fit.
Duke Xiao watched coldly as the heavy palace door creaked shut, and the dead soldiers worked together to place the thick wooden door bolts. Today, the people in the palace, except for his people, Duke Xiao, can only be dead!
Even if the emperor could send people out of the palace, it would be of no avail. The capital city was already surrounded by military attachés arranged by him. As long as he got the jade seal, everything would be settled.
Duke Xiao smiled proudly.
"King An, you see, the winner is the king, the loser is the enemy."
Jun Hongyan clenched the sword in his hand. Yes, this opportunity could not be missed. Jun Lingyun, he must personally chop off his proud head and annihilate this invincible God of War.
And that bitch Chu Yunxi, he wanted to tie her to his feet and raise her like a dog, making her forgive her for her original choice and regret for her contempt for him every day.
He wanted to see Chu Yunxi fall into the dust, lingering for breath, begging for his life in pain.
He wanted to send her family to the northern barbarians in exchange for peace on the border.
Seeing the palace people exclaiming that the Middle East is hiding in Tibet, his inner joy rushed straight to his forehead.
A small group of men were left to guard the palace gates so that they could be opened to the general who came to meet them.
Another half of the people were divided to control the East Palace. After all, the East Palace was very lively now.
As long as we control the families of those ministers, we don't have to worry about them not compromising, and we don't have to worry about his blood being spilled in the court, and it won't sound good if he speaks out.
Xiao Guogong and Jun Hongyan took the remaining dead soldiers and rushed straight to the emperor's palace. Jun Lingyun was now half dead. Compared with the half-dead prince, of course, the emperor who held the jade seal must be dealt with first.
When the eunuchs and maids in the emperor's palace saw this scene, they ran and hid just like the guards at the palace gate.
Duke Xiao frowned, why was there not even a guard guarding the emperor's palace? Could it be that there was some accident that he hadn't planned for? But he couldn't show any panic at this time.
Jun Hongyan reached out and grabbed a little eunuch who was running slowly.
"Where is my father?"
"Here, come to the morning court. King An, King An, please spare my life."
The little eunuch's face turned pale and he stammered and couldn't form a sentence. Jun Hongyan threw him to the ground in disgust. When he ascended the throne, he would have to be served by others, so he had to spare these palace people.
"Going to court in the morning? Haha."
Xiao Guogong sneered coldly. The emperor had been shrinking for so long, but today he thought of going to court in the morning.
It's just right that he should settle the matter with those ministers who were against him.
From a distance, Jun Hongyan and Xiao Guogong saw the imperial guards standing outside the court. No wonder there was no obstruction along the way. It turned out that the emperor was afraid of death, and after getting the news, he recruited everyone to his side. Xiao Guogong mentioned this all the way.
Only then did I feel relieved.
At the rear of the Royal Forest Army were the Emperor, King Hao, several princes stranded in the capital, General Chu, and a number of ministers who had come to attend the morning court.
It's just that I didn't see the second prince, but it doesn't matter. There are always smart people who can smell the crisis and avoid it in time. The second prince's mother's family also has a daughter who married into Prince An's palace. Maybe the second prince is someone who knows the current affairs.
.
Xiao Guogong looked at the emperor, his face was rosy, his back was straight, and he looked sick. He was pretending to be sick.
The emperor looked at Jun Hongyan.
"Yan'er, among my several sons, apart from the prince, you are the only one! You were allowed to stay in the capital by me. I didn't expect that my unworthy sons would not bear any grudge against me, but Qianjiao.
How dare you, who has grown up with many favors, force the palace to kill your father!"
Jun Hongyan's heart trembled. It was impossible for him to be completely unmoved by the emperor's words. However, no matter how kind the emperor was to him, it was the biggest disadvantage that he did not leave the throne to him.
"Father, my son and I have no choice but to do so. My son and my brother have a hatred of killing their mother, and they can no longer coexist in heaven and earth. Father, as long as you are willing to hand over the jade seal and pass on the throne to me, my son is also willing to support my father."
The emperor will die."
He spoke with great righteousness, as if he had exhausted all benevolence and righteousness. If the emperor did not make compromises, he would be disrespectful and seek death.
"Hahahahaha." The emperor seemed to have heard a big joke.
"Prince An, do you know why I gave you the word An?"
"My son knows that my father wants me to have a safe and smooth life. I will never forget my father's kindness."
Jun Hongyan cupped his fists and saluted, then changed the subject.
"It's just that my father, the Crown Prince, has an unstable temperament, is cruel and bloodthirsty, and the country is in his hands. How will we brothers survive in the future? Aren't you afraid of the Third, Fourth and Sixth Brothers?
?”
As he spoke, he looked at the princes behind the emperor, trying to find an alliance.
The third prince and the fourth prince looked away and did not answer his words. In this situation, if you say any wrong word, you may be doomed. It is better to keep your mouth shut and say less and make fewer mistakes.
The sixth prince, on the other hand, didn't know whether it was because of Concubine Zhen's influence or because newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, so he spoke righteously:
"Fifth Brother, my father is in his prime. Besides, my brother, the Crown Prince, has never done anything to an innocent person. What you have done is truly unfaithful, unfilial and treasonous! It is better to stop your actions quickly and apologize to my father."
The fierceness in Jun Hongyan's eyes flashed away. Okay, Xiaoliu, he has remembered what he said today. Jun Hongyan looked at the emperor again.
"Father, if you can trust me and pass on the throne to me, I promise you that I will not harm your siblings."
Jun Hongyan was full of hope, thinking that with his mouth he could win without a fight, but the emperor gave a sharp shout.
"Wrong! You are absolutely wrong! I gave you the word An so that you can live peacefully, be a loyal minister, and assist the prince all your life! Only in this way can you live peacefully, but you! You have never understood my deep meaning!"
Jun Hongyan felt like he was struck by lightning. How could it happen? How could it happen? His mother-in-law kept telling him that his father also had high hopes for him. His father was just observing his abilities and one day, sooner or later, he would pass the throne to him.
He still remembers that when his father checked his homework, he always praised him for doing well, but he was always harsh on Jun Lingyun.
So he always thought that Jun Lingyun was just lucky enough to be born from the Empress's womb earlier than him, and that's why he took the crown prince position.
As long as he works harder and strives harder, he can be recognized by his father. Until he and his grandfather raised an army to force the palace, he still expected that his father would willingly pass the throne to him.
However, his father personally destroyed all the beautiful fantasies about his father in his heart.
"What a wonderful King An, Your Majesty, you have deceived my Xiao family so hard. I, the Xiao family, have eliminated dissidents and stabilized the country for the emperor, but the emperor wants to cross rivers and burn bridges to achieve success and fame. He thinks that my Xiao family is an eyesore!"
Xiao Guogong almost said that the emperor was ungrateful and repaid kindness with hatred.
"My daughter's true love was wrongly paid to her in life, and she ended up miserable. Even if I give up my life, I will seek justice for her!"
No matter how greedy people are, they still have to pretend to be sanctimonious. After all, when people live in the world, they have to accept the scrutiny of the world.
Xiao Guogong is no exception. At this time, he still wants to describe himself as a teacher of justice.
