This all happened so suddenly, without any warning.
Lu Yuanzhang and all the civil and military officials couldn't believe it!
How could the Imperial Guards rebel?
The Forbidden Army has always been under the control of Li Chengfeng. Li Chengfeng is loyal to Lu Yuanzhang and will never betray him!
However, the Forbidden Army had long been controlled by Gu Shanhe, but Lu Yuanzhang didn't get any information.
The imperial army rebelled, like a bolt from the blue!
The expressions of Lu Yuanzhang and all the civil and military officials who were attacked changed with shock!
"Your Majesty, we also received a message from the flying pigeon. General Wu is leading an army of 500,000 people and marching towards the imperial city. The entire imperial city has been blocked!"
"General Wu and other major officers threatened to overthrow the dynasty, and they have openly started rebellion..."
If the 50,000 forbidden troops rebel, Lu Yuanzhang will still have ways to negotiate and suppress them later.
However, when he heard that an army of 500,000 people suddenly blocked the entire imperial city, Lu Yuanzhang was so frightened that he was trembling all over and could hardly stand still.
Lu Yuanzhang couldn't understand!
Why did Wu Youcai betray?
Half a year ago, when Lu Yuanzhang rebelled, Wu Youcai was at the border and did not get the news. After he got the news, he immediately sent a letter to the palace to express his support for the new emperor.
He even helped the new emperor and suppressed some soldiers who were dissatisfied with the new emperor, which can be said to be loyal.
Why the sudden rebellion?
Furthermore, ten days ago, didn’t Wu Youcai, leading an army of 500,000 men, have already headed to the border?
Why didn't you leave?
At this moment, Lu Yuanzhang's heart turned into a mess!
The military power has always been in his hands, and was previously handed over to the eldest prince.
After the death of the eldest prince, military power returned to the emperor's hands.
Without military power, how could these people dare to commit rebellion?
At this moment, the atmosphere at the scene was extremely depressing and about to explode!
All civil and military officials were also stunned by the bad news!
Half a year ago, all the civil and military officials went through everything, and there were countless officials killed and injured. Those who survived, all chose to side with Lu Yuanzhang and the Prime Minister.
Nowadays, many people know that what happened half a year ago is about to happen again!
Last time, the Third Prince rebelled and killed the emperor. This time, it is the Seventh Prince who wants to overthrow the Third Prince's regime!
"Your Majesty, didn't you say that there are no people on our side? There are still 500,000 troops in the Forbidden Army, all of whom are from our side. I wonder what your Majesty can use to fight against them?"
"I heard that your Majesty led 30,000 people into the palace half a year ago, killing all the Imperial Guards and all the palace guards to surrender. I heard that that legion was an invincible legion!"
"Your Majesty, where are your troops? Where are your legions?"
Half a year ago, Lu Yuanzhang did indeed lead a powerful team into the palace to seize the royal power!
He and the Prime Minister join forces and are invincible.
And this team seems to have completely disappeared without a trace!
According to the news received by Longfeng Pavilion, this team has been in the palace and has never left. It is hidden somewhere.
Because, every ten days, a large amount of food will be transported into the palace. The food is very large and can supply tens of thousands of people!
Lu Yuanzhang's face was ashen.
"Seventh brother, it seems that you have wanted to rebel for a long time. You have arranged everything secretly and want to use force to take away my throne."
"I tell you, your conspiracy will not succeed!"
"You are no match for me at all. Even if you have 50,000 forbidden troops, or if you have an army of 500,000, you will end in disgrace in the end!"
Fang Chen and others knew that Lu Yuanzhang must have a trump card.
It has something to do with those 30,000 people.
However, Fang Chen had already made preparations!
Lu Changming shouted coldly: "Third brother, you are at the end of your strength!"
"You killed your eldest brother, five princes, dozens of princes, thousands of officials..."
"I came here today to avenge everyone who died! No one can stop us!"
Lu Caihuang also shouted coldly: "Lu Yuanzhang, you have no conscience and your crime is unpardonable!"
"When my father took the throne, he competed with many princes, but he did not kill a single member of the royal family!"
"And what you did is inhumane!"
"Today, I will take your head with my own hands to avenge the dead!"
At the beginning, Lu Yuanzhang's rebellion caused the entire palace to flow like a river of blood.
Today, history may repeat itself!
At this moment, no one from the civil and military officials said anything.
They were all afraid.
Many people want to support the Seventh Prince Lu Changming, but they know that Lu Yuanzhang's methods are too cruel!
Now, two kings are fighting, and all officials, civil and military, don't know how to take sides!
Because half a year ago, it was the same situation. All the people who were on the wrong team died, and they were all killed by Lu Yuanzhang!
"Are you all going to rebel against me?" Lu Yuanzhang glared at the officials at the scene. When he saw these people hiding aside, he never spoke for himself or resisted the Seventh Prince.
Lu Changming did not persuade him to surrender, but said: "Third brother, it seems that no one in the civil and military officials will listen to you."
"What you did has long made everyone hate you, but because of your power, everyone was completely suppressed by you, so they have always listened to you."
"Everything gained by force is the most fragile, because you can never win the hearts of the people!"
"Bullshit!" Lu Yuanzhang yelled: "Don't talk about big principles in front of me. The most important thing is to win the battle or defeat the enemy!"
"As long as you have strong military force, you can conquer the world and dominate the world!"
"Just like the Great Yan Dynasty, with powerful weapons and equipment, you can attack other countries and become invincible!"
"The human heart... is the most fragile and the least important!"
Fang Chen spoke at this time, "As the saying goes, those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world. In the entire empire and the entire dynasty, the common people are the most important!"
"As long as the court seeks welfare for the people, puts the people first, and has the support of the people, the entire country will prosper and become rich and powerful!"
"This is how powerful our Great Flame is."
As soon as Fang Chen said these words, many people were surprised.
He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world!
People come first?
This is the first time they have heard these words!
However, isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?
Lu Yuanzhang shouted coldly: "That's nonsense! Since ancient times, monarchy has been supreme. The royal family and the emperor are the most important and the first. The humble common people are the first? It's simply ridiculous!"
"The whole world belongs to me, everything belongs to the emperor!"
Fang Chen sighed: "The common people are the real masters of the entire country, not the royal family, not the emperor!"
"Only an emperor who is supported and loved by the people is a true emperor!"
"A cruel emperor like you is just a fool. If you die, you will be infamy for thousands of years!"
Fang Chen's words completely angered Lu Yuanzhang.
"Deceitful words!"
"The Eight Great Gods will obey the order and kill these traitors!"
Lu Yuanzhang issued a killing order.
However, the eight great generals looked at each other, and no one took action.
The Seventh Prince said coldly: "The right person will get many help, but the wrong person will get little help!"
"Third brother, you are at the end of your strength and God will not help you!"
"No official will stand on your side."
At this moment, all the civil and military officials are in panic.
Some people have already begun to decide to move closer to Lu Changming.
"Are you also going to rebel? If anyone sides with the Seventh Prince, I will destroy all nine of his clans!!"
