Those who had been slumped on the ground finally got up, and a few courtiers who pretended to be calm and had already taken sides in private were soon dragged down by the people from the Beida Camp.
For a moment, the ministers became panicked.
No one knows whose neck the butcher knife raised in the emperor's hand will be aimed at next!
Seeing that these ministers who had been nagging him endlessly before were now as silent as quails, the emperor smiled with satisfaction.
After asking the ministers to retreat, the emperor sent Chen Fu to Tianlao to ask his sons to explain clearly.
However, when Chen Fu went, he took Bai Ling with him.
Looking at the white silk held by the eunuch, each prince behaved differently after seeing it.
Some laughed miserably and then stopped talking, while others kept retreating and shouting that they wanted to see their father.
Chen Fu had a sneer on his lips. After entering, he didn't talk nonsense to these princes at all. He directly called his men to come forward, hung the white silk around the prince's neck, and tightened each one tightly.
The emperor's adult sons, just a few of them, said with sorrow on their faces when Chen Fu walked out of the prison.
"Several princes committed suicide out of fear of crime!"
The emperor, who was originally in a good mood, smiled and then started to cry again when he heard the news from Chen Fu who had rushed over that the imprisoned sons had committed suicide out of fear of crime.
After all, these sons are his biological sons after all, and his blood flows in their bodies.
For a while, the emperor was crying and laughing in the palace. The sound spread far away. Some eunuchs heard it and couldn't help but shrink their necks. They felt that His Majesty was really scary.
Back at the palace, the ministers who had not slept well all night were stunned when they learned the news that several princes had committed suicide the next day.
The first reaction that came to my mind was that the emperor had done it secretly.
These were the emperor's flesh and blood, and they were all killed?
Even if they had some ideas last night, they all feel their necks are so cold now.
After the emperor cried and laughed all night, when he went to court again, although his eyelids were still swollen, there was no trace of sadness on his face.
He even directly issued an order and sent military generals to take part of the troops from the Beida Camp to the border city to guard the country's gate first.
As a result, the capital will naturally be empty and its troops will be insufficient.
At the same time, Zhou Tianci also received a secret letter from the palace, which contained only eight words.
...Everything is ready, enter Beijing as soon as possible.
When Zhou Tianci saw this, he immediately beamed with joy. He clenched the secret message in his hand and shouted loudly for people to come in, prepare troops and horses, and enter the capital.
As for Shi Jiang, he did not accompany him.
What she meant was to guard the rear here, and with so many factories opened in southern Shu, it would be impossible for no one to do it.
Instead, let Princess An follow Zhou Tianci.
Princess An was very satisfied with Shi Jiang's knowledge.
Zhou Tianci, on the other hand, felt depressed in his heart. After all, there was only one final step left. He really wanted Shi Jiang to stand by his side and watch him ascend the throne as soon as possible.
However, although Shi Jiang did not follow, Shi Jiang's seventh brother Shi Pan followed Zhou Tianci.
Although he was only fifteen years old, he had gone through numerous selection processes in the military camp and entered Zhou Tianci's personal army.
The night before Shi Pan set out with the army, Shi Jiang told Shi Pan everything. As for how he wanted to deal with Xuanping's mansion after he arrived in the capital, that was his business.
Shi Pan didn't sleep the whole night. When he left Shunan City, he turned around on his horse and looked towards the city wall, and sure enough he saw no trace of his sister.
Thinking of what her sister said, her father's death, and her aunt's death, Shi Pan tightened her grip on the reins and pursed her lips into a thin line.
This elite team led by Zhou Tianci marched very fast.
After traveling all night, it took less than half a month to reach the outside of the capital.
As for the large army, they are slower than them because they have to hide their whereabouts.
At this time, the emperor was already lying on the bed unable to move.
"Your Majesty, Crown Prince An has come to Beijing. Now that the Crown Prince is too young, and your body is already in this condition, it would be better to let Crown Prince An serve as regent. What do you think?"
Hearing Chen Fu's words, the emperor lying on the bed shouted twice loudly from his throat, his eyes bulged, and he stared at Chen Fu who was smiling but not smiling.
Fortunately, he thought Chen Fu was the most caring person to him before, but he didn't expect that the person he trusted the most was actually a poisonous snake.
Seeing the emperor's appearance, Chen Fu smiled at him calmly.
"Your Majesty, no wonder this servant said this! After all, you have killed all the princes who could take on the trouble. Now the prince is still a baby. If he doesn't find someone to protect him, I'm afraid he won't survive tonight!
"
Chen Fu raised his orchid finger and said the words in his mouth with a smile.
In fact, the prince had been muffled to death a long time ago, but Prince An had not yet arrived in Beijing, so it was not revealed.
Wait until Prince An arrives in Beijing and enter the palace, and then announce the death of the emperor and the crown prince, so that he can successfully ascend the throne.
Just as he was thinking this, the door to the emperor's palace was pushed open.
Zhou Tianci was seen wearing golden soft armor, holding his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and walked towards the emperor on the dragon bed with a bold move.
As a slave, he was the most aware of current affairs. When he saw Zhou Tianci approaching, he immediately bowed respectfully and stepped aside, then withdrew.
"Your Majesty seems to be in bad shape now. When Tianci left Beijing, I still remember that Your Majesty touched my head and said it was a pity. Now it seems that it is indeed a pity. God, thank you, Your Majesty, if you hadn't been staring at my father.
King, I'm afraid you won't have the gift from heaven now! Don't worry, when you go, I will let the prince go with you, and I will never let you go alone."
Zhou Tianci looked at the emperor as if he were looking at a dead person.
The emperor tried hard to raise his arm and pointed at Zhou Tianci with a slightly trembling finger. He wanted to scold him, but he couldn't bring it up. He rolled his eyes and then died.
Seeing that the emperor was dead, Zhou Tianci felt endless emptiness after being excited.
Now, he no longer has to be afraid of anyone.
After going out, he ordered Chen Fu to suppress the news of the emperor's death first, and wait until his troops arrived before announcing the ministers' entry into the palace.
As Zhou Tianci's 300,000 troops arrived in the capital, at dawn, the ministers discovered that the weather had changed!
However, the ministers were both shocked and relieved at the news of the emperor and prince's death.
After all, no one wants to serve an emperor who may go crazy and kill people anytime and anywhere.
Now that Prince An has ascended the throne, even if someone wants to object, they must carefully consider the elite troops outside the capital.
Therefore, without any suspense, Zhou Tianci accepted the imperial edict held by Chen Fu, then wore a dragon robe and ascended the throne as emperor.
When Xuan Pingbo Mansion, who was originally as if he was dead, heard the news, he immediately became overjoyed.
