Everyone in front of the palace was crying, as if only at this time can these people show their loyalty and filial piety.
But the main purpose of their coming here is to get Li Tianhe's imperial edict to designate his successor.
And they have all decided that even if the successor is not Li Chengliang, he must be Li Chengliang.
Otherwise, all the previous efforts will be in vain, and the power of following the dragon they want will also disappear.
Therefore, even if they have to risk the disapproval of the world, they still have to ask Li Chengliang to take over!
Li Chengliang knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. He looked sincere, but no one knew how much of his tears were real and how much were fake.
There was no news coming from the palace for a long time, which made the people kneeling outside anxious.
Didn’t he say that Li Tianhe was dying? Why has there been no movement for so long?
The prime minister came to Li Tianhe's personal eunuch and asked, "Father-in-law, doesn't your Majesty have anything to say?"
The father-in-law shook his head and said: "Prime Minister, His Majesty just told you to wait in peace, and did not explain anything else."
"Then what happened to Your Majesty?" the Prime Minister asked again.
The father-in-law sighed and shook his head silently.
This made the Prime Minister even more confused.
The emperor is obviously dead, why hasn't he announced his successor?
It's like waiting for something.
Finally, after a long time, several eunuchs carried Li Tianhe outside.
Li Tianhe was lying on the dragon bed, obviously he couldn't hold on much longer.
He looked at the people below and asked weakly: "Where are King Wu and King Su?"
"Your Majesty, this servant has gone to notify you. The two princes should have arrived." A eunuch replied.
Li Tianhe looked at Li Chengliang and others below and understood everything immediately.
He stretched out his hand tremblingly and pointed at Li Tianhe below.
When King Xiang saw this scene, he sighed deeply in his heart. He wanted to join forces with King Wu, but it was just a desperate struggle.
Now, he has no choice at all.
The faces of the ministers who supported him also became heavy, and they even thought about how to curry favor with King Jin afterwards.
"After my death, it will be..."
Before Li Tianhe finished speaking, there were sudden sounds of chaos in the distance, as if someone was fighting.
"Who dares to be so impudent in the palace?" The prime minister immediately stood up and scolded.
He was very excited, but his mood was suddenly interrupted.
Soon someone came in a hurry.
"Report, King Wu led the city defenders and entered the palace!"
In an instant, everyone present changed their expressions.
"Mutiny, this is mutiny!"
"King Wu is so bold. Your Majesty, please be careful!"
The ministers shouted one after another, looking indignant.
But at this moment, Li Tianhe slowly retracted his hand and remained silent.
Li Chengliang stood up at this moment, feeling extremely resentful in his heart. He had obviously sent people to get rid of Li Chengren, so why was Li Chengren still here?
And that captain Zhechong actually dared to launch a mutiny with Li Chengren?
Who gave him the courage?!
Li Chengren was right. Although they knew that Yang Ping was the only general leading troops in Chang'an City, they did not take this fourth-grade official seriously.
In their opinion, Yang Ping would not dare to do anything even if they lent Yang Ping a hundred courages.
But now the facts are before our eyes, Yang Ping and Li Chengren launched a mutiny!
"Father, I am willing to go and stop my brother!"
After saying that, he hurried outside with the guards beside him.
Li Tianhe sighed deeply.
Outside, Li Chengren and Yang Ping moved forward. Anyone who dared to stop them was killed directly.
What shocked Li Chengren was that, as Ye Qing said, no masters in the palace jumped out to stop him.
The hidden masters in the palace seemed to have suddenly disappeared.
As a result, he became more confident.
Just when he was about to arrive at Li Tianhe's palace, he saw Li Chengliang standing there, followed by several guards.
"Brother, don't be stubborn. My father has appointed me to take over. You don't have any chance. It's time to turn around!"
Yang Ping's expression changed. If this was really the case, then he would really be doomed.
After all, their rebellion was unjust and unjust, and even if it could be suppressed for a while, it would not last long.
He quietly turned his head to look at Li Chengren, but he didn't expect that Li Chengren was very calm at this moment.
"Hmph, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, how can I believe it? I want to ask my father face to face!"
Li Chengliang quickly stopped him: "Brother Emperor, my father is about to die. Is it really appropriate for you to rush in with these ferocious soldiers?!"
"Whether it suits you or not, it doesn't matter what you say, just get out of my way!" Li Chengren lost his patience.
Li Chengliang stood firmly on the spot: "I will never let you pass!"
Li Chengren turned to look at Yang Ping. Now that the matter had come to this, Yang Ping had no choice but to bite the bullet.
He stepped forward and held the sword at his waist with one hand.
"Your Highness, can you stop the defenders?"
Li Chengliang glared: "Yang Ping, you are committing a mutiny and want to kill the nine tribes!"
Yang Ping drew his sword out of its sheath with a clatter and raised it high. The city guards behind him also drew out their swords at the same time. The scene was truly spectacular.
"Get out of the way!"
The sword light illuminated Li Chengliang's face. Although he was furious in his heart, he could not stop the thousands of city guards no matter what.
Each soldier in the city defense army may not be strong, but when they join forces, even the strong ones will have to retreat.
At this time, he could only get out of the way and let Li Chengren pass.
But he was confused. There should be many powerful people in the palace, but why didn't any of them appear?
The city guard quickly surrounded the entire palace, and hundreds of soldiers followed Li Chengren and Yang Ping into the palace.
At this moment, all the ministers turned their heads to look, their eyes full of anger and shock.
No one could have imagined that King Wu, who had always had the least sense of existence, would actually do the greatest thing.
"King Wu, what do you want to do?"
The Prime Minister scolded sternly.
King Wu just looked at the prime minister coldly, and then walked to Li Tianhe's dragon bed.
"I heard that my father has chosen his successor?"
The Prime Minister jumped out again and shouted: "The King of Jin Li Chengliang is brave and resourceful, benevolent and loves the people, so he is naturally the best candidate."
"Really? He can even do such things as killing his own brothers, and you still call him benevolent?" Li Chengren sneered.
The Prime Minister snorted coldly: "No matter what, Prince Jin is the most suitable candidate, otherwise who else could be there?"
King Xiang stood up at this time. Since they had joined forces, he could not do nothing.
