Chapter 408: The Battle for the Throne

The capital knew that there were many talented people in Prince An, but most of them focused on his image as a handsome young man.

No one expected that he would have such a talent for talking. Just now, everyone was panicking because of General Hu's words and began to doubt Wen Tingyuan and the Wen family.

But now I was reminded by his words, no, compared to Wen Tingyuan, who had always had no sense of existence, General Hu who had entered the city with heavy troops at this time was more frightening, and more likely to do such a conspiracy.

The opposite thing.

Even Jiahe was shocked and confused.

She turned to look at General Hu, and suddenly woke up after seeing the anger in his eyes.

General Hu's life was saved by his mother and concubine, and he has always been loyal to them. How could he rebel at this time?

That can only mean...

Her eyes turned to Prince An, Wen Tingyuan, Marquis Changxing and others, and she suddenly realized that her understanding of the power in the capital seemed to have been wrong all along.

It seems that not everyone is as simple as they seem.

This time, due to the death of the emperor's brother, this hidden relationship suddenly emerged.

But why?

They turned out to be Lao Qi’s people!

Jiahe's mind was spinning, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

She didn't see the body of Fifth Emperor Brother, so she couldn't make any decision immediately.

No matter what decision you make at this time, it may lead to huge consequences.

Also entangled with her was the Marquis of Changxing.

It was precisely because the Holy Emperor was seriously ill that he first came forward to discuss with the Song family and advance the marriage, just to avoid any mishaps.

Maybe they will use their family as an excuse.

But who knew that he would be the first to be involved in the struggle for the throne.

Prince An's words almost gave him a clear option. Although General Hu brought troops here, he had soldiers in his mansion and could still resist for a while, and the military power of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division was in his hands.

.

He was able to dispatch the manpower immediately, but in doing so he was equivalent to clearly fighting against the Seventh Prince.

but……

just in case……

What if this is a trap?

What if the fifth prince is not dead, but just uses his own family to hold wedding events to defraud these established families in the capital?

From the beginning of the dynasty to the present, the Changxing Marquis Mansion has gone through hundreds of years. Is it going to be destroyed by my own hands?

Marquis Changxing did not dare to bet, he could not make such a decision.

"In my opinion," a weak female voice suddenly sounded. Everyone turned to look, and it was Princess Danyu who came over. "It's not for us to get involved in this matter."

As she spoke, she coughed twice. Prince An hurriedly went over to support her, but Princess Danyu broke away. She looked at her son sternly, "You are becoming more courageous now, and you are talking too loudly."

You dare to talk nonsense without any cover and baseless things."

Although she didn't speak loudly because she was always sick, the weight of her words was not light at all. After hearing what his mother said, King An also lowered his head and did not dare to speak out again.

Princess Danyu turned to Marquis Changxing, "This involves the life of the fifth brother. Based on General Hu's words and the testimony of this so-called guard, I don't think it is credible.

Since General Hu said that the Third Division has intervened, that is beyond the control of us people. Not to mention whether anything happened to the fifth brother, even if something happened, the Metropolitan Procuratorate should come to trial.

It is extremely inappropriate for General Hu to show up today with his troops. If the man in your hands is really the guard of the fifth brother, he should be handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

What you just said has already touched the law of our court, but if according to what you said, it was a matter of loyalty, from a rational point of view, it is not unforgivable."

She turned to Marquis Changxing and said, "Master Marquis, please send someone to the Ministry of Punishment or Dali Temple, ask their chiefs to come over, and bring all the relevant people there for trial. As for General Hu..."

She turned to look at the man in armor, "I also advise you to take your people back to the camp as soon as possible. Even if what you say is true, you can risk your life for the fifth brother. How can these people who are following you

Neither?

They are my Daqi soldiers. They are here to protect the safety of my Daqi country, and they are not here to seek trouble according to your personal wishes. You are not afraid of the so-called treason charge. They are so innocent that they want to work with you.

To bear such a big sin?"

After Princess Danyu finished speaking, the group of soldiers who followed General Hu suddenly started whispering.

As she said, most of these people didn't know the real purpose of coming here today, and they just followed the orders of their superiors and entered the city together.

Now it seems that he will be accused of treason. How dare he take it?

Seeing that the morale of the army was unstable, General Hu immediately shouted coldly, "Princess, is she trying to be biased?!"

"General Hu!" Marquis Changxing had already made a decision after thinking about it, "I think the princess is right. We have been officials in the same dynasty for many years. We cannot bear to let the general ruin his own future because of his temporary anger. Please hurry up."

Lead the troops back to camp quickly!"

"What if Hu doesn't?" The long sword in his hand made a sword flower in the air, which frightened all the female relatives present and screamed.

The Marquis of Changxing flicked his sleeves and said, "My ancestors followed Emperor Tai~zu to conquer the east and the west, and they got the title of the Marquis of Changxing today. Does General Hu think that because I am used to living a stable life, I have lost it?"

Have you lost the blood of your ancestors?"

He sneered, "If General Hu dares to take action here today, even if you are telling the truth, you will also be accused of treason. Even if I die by the general's sword today, it will still be regarded as my loyalty to the country!"

The expression on General Hu's face immediately turned cold. He was a tall and thick man, and he had been on the battlefield so many times that he couldn't even count the number of lives on his hands.

His anger immediately made everyone present feel an unprecedented pressure.

This was the power accumulated in the sea of ​​​​blood in the corpse mountain. At that moment, many female relatives were trembling with fear.

Ever since the Holy Emperor fell ill, the atmosphere in the entire capital has been in an indescribable depression. Everyone knew that something big was going to happen. As for when and how, no one could say clearly.

Yesterday, a hole seemed to be opened in the Daxiangguo Temple, allowing people to see the bloody atmosphere hidden inside.

But at the same time, the oppression was relaxed a little. I didn't expect that we would meet again tonight.

General Hu sneered, "Then let Hu see how much blood there is left in the Changxing Hou Mansion."

This is what it means to take action seriously!

Marquis Changxing took his sword from the attendant next to him, unsheathed his sword, and faced General Hu face to face.

Seeing the tension between the two sides, a figure suddenly flashed over and said, "Don't be impulsive!"
