"I understand, I understand, brother... But today... you have to die!" After saying this, the shopkeeper pulled out his pistol and shot the warehouse manager.
The bullet hit the opponent's chest. The opponent subconsciously looked down at the hole where blood was spurting out, and the cigarette caught between his fingers fell to the ground.
"For the fifth prince!" the shop owner shouted, and everyone around him took out his pistols and killed the few colleagues who were not in the same group.
Amidst the gunfire, these people opened the door of the weapons depot in the patrol room and took out more ammunition, pistols and bolt-action rifles.
After learning that Zhao Kai was seriously ill and was ignoring government affairs, the fifth prince couldn't hold back his throbbing heart: he was afraid that when Zhao Kai was really dying, he would recruit Zhao Ji back to the imperial capital.
Now, he must take advantage of this perfect opportunity when Zhao Ji is not in the imperial capital to find a future for himself! An extremely wonderful future called the emperor!
All of a sudden, many police officers in the patrol room took action. They were all members of the fifth prince, and this action was to control the imperial capital and support the fifth prince's ascension to the throne.
On the other side, some nobles' private armies and some guards belonging to the yamen also began to gather and mobilize, under the banner of quelling the chaos, and supported the sixth prince as the new emperor of the empire.
The sound of gunfire continued to echo in the streets and alleys, and soon the news was sent to the palace. After hearing the news, Zhao Kai, who was lying on the hospital bed, immediately issued an order to counter the rebellion.
To be honest, Zhao Kai was not too surprised. He had known for a long time that his two useless sons formed a gang to gather strength and secretly prepared to cause trouble. So he was already prepared and immediately ordered his confidant Li Mingshun to start taking action.
Li Mingshun is indeed Zhao Kai's confidant and the general who has been in charge of military power in the imperial capital. He immediately started taking action after receiving Zhao Kai's order.
He first controlled the two airports in the north and south outside the city, and then asked the imperial guards stationed outside the city to enter the town to suppress the two groups of rebels who were fighting each other.
Because the Imperial Guards had armored vehicles and heavy firepower, after a day and night of fierce fighting, Li Mingshun quickly drove both groups of rebels into corners and could wipe them out at any time.
The fifth prince was actually panicking at this time. He was afraid that he would be executed, so while ordering the patrols who supported him to set up a defense line, he had already begun to think about breaking out and escaping.
The sixth prince was not much better at this time. He was crying and making trouble in the temporary headquarters, shouting that he was going to die, which made the nobles who supported him so angry that they wanted to shoot him first.
Originally, everything was still under Zhao Kai's control at this time, but a sudden news disrupted all Zhao Kai's arrangements: Zhao Jie actually led his troops back to the imperial capital!
As an imperial general and the actual controller of a million-strong army on the southern front, Zhao Jie led his most elite 2,000 guards on a train back to the outside of the imperial capital.
These two thousand guards were brave warriors. As soon as they arrived outside the city, they captured an airport, quickly captured the south gate of the imperial capital, and entered the city.
The situation immediately became strange: because Zhao Jie only brought the advance troops, and there was a steady stream of support behind him, Li Mingshun couldn't figure out Zhao Jie's details for a while, so he did not dare to launch a counterattack against Zhao Jie rashly.
After all, Zhao Jie's banner was "Qing Jun Side", and he was calling to come back to help Emperor Zhao Kai quell the rebellion. There was indeed a rebellion in the city before he came, so many troops could not distinguish the situation at all, and were easily coerced into Zhao Jie's army.
Li Mingshun, who didn't dare to fight, immediately returned to the palace and told Zhao Kai the news of Zhao Jie's sudden return to the imperial capital. He just wanted to ask Zhao Kai whether he should kill Zhao Jie together.
"Your Majesty! Zhao Jie is the prince of the clan after all. If I don't have an imperial edict, I dare not make the decision without permission. Please give me an order..." Li Mingshun saw that Zhao Kai's face was pale and he didn't speak for a while, so he could only ask again what he had just asked.
The problem.
Zhao Kai sat on the bed, holding his breath and rolling in his chest, as if his blood vessels and internal organs were being torn apart.
He really didn't expect that bastard Zhao Jie could return to the imperial capital. He really didn't expect that Zhao Jie could betray him at this time! He promoted Zhao Jie and Zhao Chen for the sake of the Zhao family and the royal family.
Who would have thought that this Zhao Jie, the Zhao Jie he trusted the most, would betray him at this time and give him the cruelest blow!
He was hateful! He was angry! Therefore, all kinds of unwillingness and pain gathered in his heart, which directly made Zhao Kai lose his mind. He has a short temper and often gets angry and angry.
Now, his body no longer allows him to be angry and angry. So when he starts to get angry, his body functions that can only barely function now collapse in an instant.
He tried hard to open his mouth and ask Li Mingshun to quickly quell the rebellion. But he opened his mouth but could not speak. After trying twice, he suddenly realized that he might never be able to speak. For a moment, he was overwhelmed by fear.
He almost fell off the bed with his eyes darkened.
The attendant next to him quickly stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Kai, and stroked Zhao Kai's back to help him relax. Only then did Zhao Kai feel a little better, and he had more or less the ability to control his body.
He tried again to speak, but when he opened his mouth, a large mouthful of blood gushed out. The mouthful of blood was so loud that he vomited it, which shocked Li Mingshun, who was used to seeing blood.
The floor of the entire room was spattered with blood, and a lot of it was even sprinkled on Li Mingshun's feet. When Li Mingshun raised his head to look at his emperor, Zhao Kai was already blinking in the arms of the chamberlain.
"Kill...kill...kill..." After organizing the words for a long time, Zhao Kai could only mutter this word repeatedly in a vague manner. The servant could hear it clearly, but Li Mingshun could not hear it clearly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The chamberlain quickly called Li Mingshun to come to the bed. Li Mingshun leaned over and barely heard the word "kill".
"Your Majesty, I understand! Kill Zhao Jie!" Li Mingshun was not a dull person and immediately understood what Zhao Kai meant.
Zhao Kai nodded slightly, then held his breath for a long time and spit out one word: "Ji! Ji!"
Li Mingshun nodded again: "Your Majesty means to wait for His Highness the Crown Prince to come back and inherit the throne?"
"Retreat..." No one knows whether Zhao Kai's last words were right or retreat. He just said an ambiguous note, which probably meant "right" or "retreat", and then he closed his eyes.
Forever, I closed my eyes.
The emperor of the Great China Empire, Zhao Kai, was so angry at Zhao Jie's rebellion that he vomited blood and died on his bed. With his unwillingness and frustration, he withdrew from the stage of history.
"Your Majesty has passed away!" the chamberlain shouted sadly, and the waiters and Li Mingshun in the room knelt on the ground and burst into tears.
The situation began to get completely out of control: Li Mingshun's army began to storm the south gate of the city, while Zhao Jie stood firm and even pulled out 300 elite troops to surprise the unsuspecting fifth prince.
As a result, the fifth prince was randomly shot to death by Zhao Jie's soldiers, and the fifth prince's patrol force was also recruited by Zhao Jie.
The sixth prince didn't know the news yet. He was frightened by Zhao Jie and Li Mingshun, and he was also afraid that the nobles who supported him would rebel. At the critical moment, he set a fire and prepared to escape from the city like a golden cicada.
It turned out that the sixth prince's ability was really not good: he set the fire well, but when he was escaping, he was bumped into by the nobles who supported him.
The other party originally wanted to support him, but he didn't expect that the one he supported was Adou who couldn't help him. In anger, these nobles killed the sixth prince directly.
Surrendering to Li Mingshun would definitely not work, as it would most likely result in losing one's head. After careful consideration, these nobles thought that surrendering to Zhao Jie was obviously a better choice.
So they turned to Zhao Jie, which once again increased Zhao Jie's strength.
