Chapter 1494 Chapter 1495 King Chu: Otherwise, will blood really splatter on the golden sword?
Shenjing City, Palace Garden
In the 19th year of Chongping, on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in winter, this day left a mark in the "Chen Han Shu" of later generations.
King Chu Chen Qin, surrounded by his inner eunuchs and guards, approached the front of Hanyuan Palace. At this moment, the warm winter sunlight shone on the guards in brocade clothes holding halberds on both sides.
King Chen Qin of Chu looked around and saw that the light of the halberd was like scales, dazzling people's eyes.
King Chen Qin of Chu walked slowly and slowly towards Hanyuan Hall along a red carpet that was laid from the door to the end.
At this moment, Emperor Chongping in the palace was sitting on a golden chair under the Ming Hall, with a wool blanket covering his legs.
"Your Majesty, the prince wishes to see you." The internal prison guard standing by the door had a sharp and high-pitched voice, which was quite penetrating.
The King of Chu, Chen Qin, had a solemn look on his face, and his eyes were bright and clear under his sword-shaped brows as he stepped in.
Entering the palace, under the attention of the surrounding ministers, he saluted the middle-aged emperor who was sitting on the golden chair engraved with dragons and phoenixes: "My son, I pay homage to my father. Long live my father. Long live my father."
Emperor Chongping's heart surged with joy, his eyes paused slightly, and he said loudly: "The prince is free."
"Thank you, father." As he spoke, King Chen Qin of Chu stood up. At this moment, he was receiving the congratulations from all the courtiers, and his heart was inevitably agitated.
Although he was born as a commoner, he could still rule the world and become a sage king in the future.
"The prince has established the East Palace. From now on, he can supervise the country and handle the affairs of the state. I only hope that the prince will be diligent and frugal, take the country, the country, and the country into consideration, and take care of state affairs." Emperor Chongping's face paused slightly and he said loudly.
Under the sword-shaped eyebrows of King Chu, his eyes were deep and he was very excited. Two abnormal blushes appeared on his cheeks, and he said loudly: "My son, I will obey my father's teachings."
After hearing this, all the ministers in the palace looked at the young king who was wearing a silver fish and python suit, and were about to bow before him.
At this moment, there were sudden bursts of earth-shattering shouts of death coming from outside the palace, which made people feel frightened and inexplicable.
The ministers in the palace looked at the sound with shocked expressions.
When Emperor Chongping heard this, he frowned and asked: "Dai Quan, what's going on?"
Li Zan, the chief assistant of the cabinet, changed his expression suddenly. He looked at Gao Zhongping aside and said in a deep voice: "Where is this cry of killing?"
Gao Zhongping was a little stunned, obviously he didn't know where the killing cry came from.
After a while, a young inner guard with a crooked helmet and blood on his face could be seen running into the palace, panicking and saying: "Your Majesty, the guards of King Wei and King Liang are attacking the palace city, and the outer city has been lost.
, the soldiers and horses are retreating towards the palace city."
As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the palace were in an uproar.
The King of Wei actually dared the world to disapprove of him? What was he trying to do? Aren't you afraid of being criticized by thousands of people, with words and writings?
King Chen Qin of Chu's face was as gloomy as iron at this moment, and a cold light could be seen flashing in his eyes.
Emperor Chongping's sunken and thin cheeks were flushed with red. He was shocked and exclaimed: "How dare the King of Wei do this?"
Emperor Chongping felt his energy and blood rising, and he was filled with shock and anger.
This was indeed beyond Emperor Chongping's expectation. He had not even relieved King Wei of his five-city military command. This was a manifestation of this mentality.
I didn't doubt King Wei at first, but I didn't know that it was King Wei who had the problem.
If he had known earlier, it would have been better to have sent King Wei to the vassal land.
Because Emperor Chongping had already experienced such an experience before, that is, King Qi was ambushed and King Wei now rebelled, which was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for a twilight old man.
The ministers in the palace looked at each other in disbelief for a moment.
Is King Wei planning a coup?
Now that the emperor is still here, how can King Wei rely on him to launch a coup?
Outside the vermilion palace gate with two sides of gold paint and copper nails, a large number of elite soldiers were fighting with the guards of Jinyi Mansion and the inner guards. The sound of the fighting between the two sides was loud and shook the whole world.
At this moment, the King of Wei was wearing armor and driving in. There were guards from the Wei Palace and the Liang Palace in all directions. Their swords were unsheathed, their bows were strung, and they were filled with murderous aura.
Wei Qi led a large number of soldiers and horses from the Beijing camp, accompanying King Wei's chariot all the way, and galloped towards the palace gate.
As the father-in-law of the King of Wei, when the Wei and Liang vassals decided to usurp the throne, the Marquis of Runan, Weiqi, had no way of turning back.
At this moment, a large number of Han knights galloped and roared, and the chaotic sound of horse hooves "clacked" at this moment, galloping towards the palace gate.
A large number of Han army knights from the Beijing camp fought with the guards of Jinyi Mansion, and the sound of "ping ping ping ping ping" was heard as the swords and guns clashed.
Accompanied by the "puff" sound of the blade cutting into the flesh, screams could be heard one after another, one after another.
At this moment, the guards of King Wei and King Liang, armed with swords and spears, were charging towards the palace city. Coupled with the support of the palace guards guarding the city, a large number of guards rushed into the palace city.
The imperial guards in the palace reacted quickly, armed with bows, crossbows and arrows, and attacked the soldiers and horses led by King Wei and King Liang.
Suddenly, the shouts of killing were loud.
At this moment, in Shenjing City, the Five Cities Military and Horse Division is quickly dispatching a large number of soldiers to block the streets and alleys of Shenjing City.
For a moment, it was obvious that the mountain rain was about to hit us.
Since the eighteenth year of Chongping, the ups and downs in Beijing have never stopped.
…
…
Ningguo Mansion, in the study room——
Jia Heng was sitting behind a lacquered wooden table in the study. He stared at Chen Xiao beside him. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He felt the fragrance lingering, which made him feel relaxed and happy.
"The spies in brocade have received news that the King of Wei and the King of Liang have led their troops to attack the palace city." Chen Xiaorong looked solemn and said in a clear voice.
Since the failed attempt to assassinate Qiu Liang a few days ago, Chen Xiao has been made quite embarrassed.
What is this?
Such mistakes made even Chen Xiao somewhat speechless.
Jia Heng thought for a while, and under his sword-shaped eyebrows, his eyes showed a hint of thinking, and asked: "The King of Wei has already taken action. Now, once the bow is fired, there will be no turning back."
Since King Wei has embarked on such a path, he cannot take it back.
In fact, even if King Wei failed, he would not die, he would only be imprisoned until death.
Emperor Chongping can't kill two more sons, can he?
The last person who imposed death was the King of Qi, and now the two kings of Wei and Liang have imposed death again... No one can withstand it.
This was the reason why King Wei dared to fight to the death. Power and family affection were intertwined, and the worst he could do was end up under house arrest.
Chen Xiao asked: "What will you do next?"
Jia Heng put down the blue and white porcelain tea cup and said: "Watch the show and wait for the imperial edict. The palace will definitely send someone to secretly deliver the edict."
Don't say he doesn't have any plans, what plans does he need?
There are more than 100,000 elite soldiers and horses in the capital camp in Liaodong. Who will win or lose, no matter whether it is the kings of Wei or Chu, who will not sit down with him and have a good talk?
Both the Wei and Chu vassals were related to him, so even if the capital was in chaos, they would not cause chaos in Ningrong Street.
What does it mean to be as safe as a rock and watch the fire from the other side? This is it.
He is not the protagonist in the early stage of this game. He just needs to be patient and watch the show and gain political capital at the right time.
On the other hand, Tian Niuer might be resentful of him because he didn't help King Wei in his plan.
Jia Heng looked calm at this moment, picked up the blue and white porcelain tea cup, and took a sip of tea.
Just as Jia Heng thought, outside the palace gate with red walls and black tiles, a large number of soldiers from the Beijing camp and Jinyifu guards were fighting with the Jinyifu guards guarding the palace.
Because Wei Ruolan and Chen Yejun were on the city gate tower, they opened the city gate for the rebel soldiers of King Wei and King Liang. Many soldiers poured into the palace in large numbers and headed towards Hanyuan Hall.
In Hanyuan Hall——
The atmosphere in the hall was as solemn as ice. The civil and military officials below, listening to the shouts of killing outside, looked at each other with incomprehensible expressions.
Emperor Chongping sat on a golden chair covered with soft mattresses, with a sinister expression on his face. He coughed several times, and the aura of decay around him became stronger and stronger, and the oil gradually ran out.
While Dai Quan was speaking, he came closer and said warmly: "Your Majesty, the situation is urgent, please move."
Emperor Chongping's face was sunken, and his thin cheeks were filled with anger. His slightly weak voice seemed to contain shocking anger, and he shouted: "I want to see what King Wei is going to do!"
Can he still kill his father?
King Chu's face was as pale as paper, and under his sword-shaped eyebrows, there was a hint of fear in his shining eyes.
As time passed, the shouts of killing from the large number of guards in front of the two vermilion palace doors gradually became less frequent.
At this moment, looking around from the entrance to the white marble square in front of the palace, corpses can be seen everywhere, lying on top of each other, and blood is flowing on the stone slabs of the white marble square, bright red and dazzling.
A large number of Jinyi palace guards surrounded Hanyuan Hall and retreated step by step, holding weapons in hand.
King Chen Ran of Wei and King Chen Wei of Liang led a group of soldiers and horses to besiege the entire Hanyuan Hall, and the shouts of killing were already close to their ears.
In the palace, all the civil and military ministers appeared frightened.
Lin Ruhai frowned, her face changed, and there was a hint of worry in her eyes.
Ziyu probably didn't interfere in this matter, right?
There is no benefit in talking about this kind of thing, and it can easily make you embarrassed.
Because Jia Heng was already the king of the county and could not ascend to the throne through a coup.
"Come, King Xuan Wei enters the palace." Emperor Chongping paused for a moment, composed himself, and then said loudly in a very weak voice.
Dai Quan had a look of embarrassment on his face and said, "Your Majesty, King Wei is still charging outside."
Emperor Chongping asked: "Where is Prince Wei? He hasn't entered the palace yet?"
Dai Quan said: "I have already sent someone out of the palace to invite Prince Wei."
At this moment, Lu Jiang, one of the cabinet ministers, stood up, with a solemn face, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is quite suspicious that Prince Wei will not come to this grand ceremony."
As soon as this statement came out, the officials in the palace immediately started talking.
Could it be that Prince Wei and the King of Wei secretly conspired to cause such a big incident?
Li Zan frowned and said with some dissatisfaction: "Mr. Lu Ge, please don't make random guesses."
If Prince Wei really helped King Wei to rebel, he would be really stupid. Besides, wouldn't it be chaotic enough to cast such unreasonable suspicion at this time?
At this moment, Emperor Chongping also suddenly said: "Jia Ziyu would not do such a thing without a king and a father."
Just when the officials in the palace were filled with doubts, the vast white marble square in front of Hanyuan Palace seemed to gradually calm down.
Then, all the ministers in the palace seemed to be aware of it and looked out of the palace. They saw the reflected light, and it was clear that King Wei seemed to be covered with a layer of brilliance.
Next to him was also Liang Wang Chen Wei, with a face that was somewhat domineering and arrogant, full of ambition and contentment.
"The two kings of Wei and Liang met with Your Majesty."
At this time, the inner prisoner on the side of the palace door shouted in a trembling and sharp voice, which made the officials in the palace feel trembling.
Has the rightful owner finally arrived?
King Chen Ran of Wei entered the palace with his head high and his chest high. He had a make-up and his face was smooth. He came closer, knelt down, saluted and said, "I have seen my father. Long live, long live, long live."
At this moment, King Liang also stepped forward quickly, saluted the middle-aged emperor who was sitting on the golden chair, and said in a deep voice: "I have seen my father, long live, long live, long live."
At this moment, all the officials in the palace looked at the two vassals of Wei and Liang and the large number of royal guards behind them, with a complex look in their eyes.
Among the civil and military ministers of the Han Dynasty, in this kind of "clan housework", it was difficult for them to express their desire to humiliate and kill their ministers.
It's like brothers fighting over family property. Outsiders can only advise them from the sidelines, rather than get out of the way directly.
Listening to the voices of the two brothers, Emperor Chongping suppressed the anger in his heart and shouted: "Why did you two raise troops to attack the palace, but do you want to rebel?"
At this moment, Emperor Chongping did not worry about his personal safety, because the two kings of Wei and Liang would kill their fathers only if they became insane.
"Father, I don't dare to do this. I have a bad intention to report back." King Wei raised his head and said, "The King of Chu is a vassal. In ancient times, abolishing the direct descendants and establishing concubines was the way to bring disaster. I will offend Yan Zhi."
Advice, please don’t make the King of Chu the East Palace."
Well, Wei King Chen Ran used his own actions to prove that abolishing the direct descendants and establishing concubines was indeed a way to bring disaster.
King Chu Chen Qin raised his sword eyebrows, his sinister and cold eyes flashed with sharp light, and he shouted: "Brother Wei Wang, the emperor of the East Palace has appointed the direct descendant, and he has issued an edict to the world. I can ask my father for mercy and pardon you.
The crime of disrespect."
King Chen Ran of Wei looked sharply at the King of Chu, and said in a cold voice: "If you hadn't used your clever words and tricks to bewitch my father, how could my father have made you his heir?"
"Come here, capture the King of Chu!" Chen Ran, the king of Wei, was furious, and with traces of hostility on his handsome and fair face, he shouted in a deep voice.
As he spoke, the guards behind him rushed towards King Chu and held down King Chu's arm to prevent him from struggling.
Zhen Jue, who was guarding the left and right along with him, changed his expression and shouted: "Stop it!"
King Chu Chen Qin's expression changed and he said: "Don't be reckless!"
Otherwise, will blood really be spilled on Jinluan?
King Chen Ran of Wei raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Chongping who was sitting upright, and said: "Father, I respectfully ask my father to take back the order to appoint the King of Chu."
"Treason!" Emperor Chongping, who was sitting down, shouted loudly, then coughed violently and felt like he couldn't take a breath. Dai Quan on the side quickly came forward and helped Emperor Chongping caress the breath on his back.
.
Seeing this scene, the officials in the palace couldn't help but feel sad.
The Holy Father is old...
Xu Lu, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, frowned and said solemnly, "King Wei, if you use your son to force your father and commit great rebellion, how will the world look at you?"
Chen Ran, the king of Wei, said confidently and loudly: "Emperor Taizong Wen of the Tang Dynasty, after the Xuanwu Gate incident, he practiced the country, and he still became a wise king and created a prosperous era. How does the world think of him?"
The posthumous title of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty is called Wen. Among the posthumous laws, Wen is called Wen, which is called Wen by the world, is called Wen when it is moral, knowledgeable, and is diligent in learning and asking questions.
It can be described as the ceiling in the posthumous title.
But in the name of the temple, it means writing but not governing.
Xu Lu sighed and said, "His Royal Highness, King Wei, why is this happening?"
What is happening today is not only a matter for the world, but also a family matter for the Chen and Han clan. In other words, the civil servants present also have some sympathy for what happened to the Wei and Liang vassals.
Li Zan said righteously and sternly: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei cited Emperor Taizong Wen of the Tang Dynasty as an example. Does it mean that Emperor Taizong Wen of the Tang Dynasty went on an expedition when the world was in chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and established the foundation of Li and Tang Dynasty for three hundred years?"
It means that your achievements as King of Wei are still not up to standard, how can you stand up to Emperor Taizongwen?
The King of Wei raised a resolute face and came with a firm expression, saying: "My father also forced the emperor to go to the palace, but he still became a sage king and worked hard to govern. He did not even create the foundation of Chen and Han, but he still created the cause of Zhongxing. My sons and ministers must be like this Like a father, he works hard day and night, working hard for the Chen-Han State and creating a prosperous age."
As soon as this statement came out, the civil and military officials in the palace were in an uproar again.
This is to reveal the "black history" of the emperor's beginnings.
Or, this is called the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Like father, like son.
Gao Zhongping looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "King Wei, my Majesty refuses to establish you because you have no heir, and it is for the sake of the country."
Wei Wang Chen Ran said: "I regard Liang Wang's younger brother as the crown prince, why not?"
Gao Zhongping was silent for a moment.
The King of Wei looked at the King of Chu and said coldly: "On the other hand, the King of Chu entered the East Palace as a vassal, his merits are meager and his virtues are weak, and it is difficult to convince people's hearts."
King Chu snorted coldly, his sinister face full of anger.
The king of Wei, Chen Ran, glanced around, only to realize that he was possessed by Jia Heng, fighting with the Confucian scholars and suppressing the officials with his words.
When Emperor Chongping heard King Wei mention what happened that year, he felt an unspeakable sadness in his heart.
Maybe this is a trick of fate? Retribution from God?
No, he had no choice but to take over all of Jiuzhou and Wanfang.
At this moment, King Wei's face was extremely solemn. He knelt down with a "pop" sound and said in a deep voice: "My father has been worried about state affairs all his life and has become ill. I sincerely request my father to abdicate the throne and raise him in Chonghua Palace, so that I can take over." The East Palace oversees the country and its administration."
At the moment, King Chu was listening to King Wei's sarcastic remarks in the distance. His gloomy, white face was mingled with green and red, and he was clearly extremely angry.
Emperor Chongping's face was as gloomy as iron, and he snorted coldly. He could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, and scolded: "You are dreaming!"
After finishing speaking, Emperor Chongping coughed violently. Dai Quan quickly handed over an embroidered handkerchief, and the dragon robe in front of Emperor Chongping was already full of blood.
At this moment, King Liang knelt down and bowed to Emperor Chongping. He cried bitterly and said, "Father, I sincerely ask my father to come to the Chonghua Palace to honor me."
The resolute face of Chu King Chen Qin was as gloomy as iron. He stared at the Wei and Liang vassals, feeling incomprehensible.
Emperor Chongping's face was calm, with an uncontrollable anger in his voice, and a bit of helplessness in his hoarse voice, and he said: "You..."
After finishing speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wow" sound, and immediately the middle-aged emperor's ears were filled with exclamations of surprise.
At this moment, the expressions of the officials in the palace suddenly changed, and they all looked at Emperor Chongping.
King Wei's expression suddenly changed and he said: "Imperial physician, imperial physician."
Although he wanted to force the palace to seize the throne, he did not want to force his father to death, otherwise the whole world would surely rise up to fight against him.
Just when the palace was in chaos, the shouts of killing suddenly came from outside the palace again, causing the stunned ministers in the palace to feel slightly moved.
Could things be turning around?
At this moment, the ministers in the palace still have some different views on King Wei's "forcing the palace".
But because the King of Wei had the upper hand, and because it was a family matter of the Chen and Han clan, some civil servants who were wise enough to protect themselves did not rush to reprimand him.
Not long after, a Jinyi palace guard wearing a Feiyu suit quickly entered the palace. His fair and fair face looked extremely frightened, and he said to King Wei: "Your Highness, a large number of Jinyi Ti cavalry have entered the palace city."
The King of Wei raised his eyebrows, his eyes were deep, and he turned to look at Wei Qi beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Marquis of Runan, aren't the guards of Jinyi Mansion under control?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, our Jingying Xiaorui has completely occupied the palace city, and the Tiqi from Jinyi Mansion are no match." Runan Hou Weiqi said.
At this moment, just outside the palace gate, Qiu Liang was leading the Jin Yi Ti cavalry, riding on the horse, looking at the palace city occupied by the guards of the Wei and Liang vassals in front, his eyes flashing coldly.
