After hearing only a "click", the entire Fengtian Hall was silent.
Whether it was the salute officer or the treasure envoy, everyone raised their heads and looked at the eldest prince's astonishing move, not daring to move for a long time.
The treasure box contains the title of Crown Prince, which is proof of the identity of the Crown Prince Chang Yan. Needless to say, it is very precious.
But the most surprising thing was Zhu Changhong who threw the treasure box.
He looked over with red cheeks and chest rising and falling, accompanied by the undulating screams and scoldings outside, like a vengeful demon king returning from a bloody bath.
Chang Yan calmly squinted his eyes, feeling something was wrong.
Among the speculations of the six brothers and sisters, Zhu Changhong had long been an outcast of the Ju family, and his performance at the wedding banquet that day showed his stupidity and cowardice to the fullest.
Even if there was an attack during the canonization of the crown prince, it was the second prince who took the lead, with the Ju family assisting, and Zhu Changhong who lost control and collapsed after a brief period of shock. How could he be as aggressive as he is now.
Especially in this silent hall, he deliberately stepped forward step by step, scaring everyone in the hall so much that they dared not vent their anger.
Only Chang Yan casually asked, "Are the traitorous guards outside from the First Emperor's brother?"
"Yes." Zhu Changhong said expressionlessly, "Control the civil and military officials, and they will rush to the hall."
"Brother the Emperor is so confident." Chang Yan raised the corners of his lips, "But my brother doesn't quite believe it. Can you call two people to take a look?"
Zhu Changhong stopped and looked back at the guard.
The guards immediately rushed in and shouted, "Stop it, everyone, stop it."
The tinkling outside really stopped.
The civil and military officials and courtiers also seemed to have a breather. Several people headed by Jiang Chengfeng escorted Xu Mo, Jiang Sheng and his sister to the door and said solemnly, "Your Highness, the Imperial Guard has rebelled."
Not only did the imperial guards rebel, they also rebelled with the eldest prince.
Chang Yan still felt something was wrong, frowned and said, "Is this arranged by the Ju family?"
"Of course." Zhu Changhong's eyes changed slightly, "Who else could it be if it wasn't the Ju family?"
With Concubine Ju as the internal support, and with her great favor, it is indeed not difficult to place people in the Imperial Guard.
The eldest prince pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger. He first pretends to be stupid to the extreme, and then reveals his fangs at the critical moment, which surprises everyone.
Including Zhu Changyu.
The prince, who was pretending to be dull and honest, was hiding in the corner, his eyes were startled and his face was livid, and he was obviously also wondering about the direction of the plan.
"Stop struggling, the entire imperial city is now under the control of the Ju family." Zhu Changhong glanced at the trembling praise officers and treasure envoys, "Don't be afraid, I will not hurt you, I am still waiting for you. The crown prince's title is being reissued."
The ambition of the wolf is obvious.
But something was still wrong.
Chang Yan was deep in thought and did not notice that the old Mr. Sun Ge stood up and spat in Zhu Changhong's face, "Bah, the crown prince is planning to rebel on this day. You are a real traitor. Are you?" Rebellion! You will be infamous in the future and will be infamy for thousands of years!"
He wiped his face helplessly, "Don't get excited, Sun Ge. You are already so old, and I never thought of hurting you."
"If you have the guts, kill me on the spot, otherwise I will never recognize you as a traitor, let alone grant you the title of crown prince." Mr. Sun Ge roared angrily.
Although he is nearly 70 years old, his voice is still high-pitched.
Chang Yan's thoughts were interrupted and he decided to take the initiative, "Brother the eldest emperor, don't you know that the Ju family has joined forces with the second prince a long time ago, and you are just a rookie at the moment?"
Zhu Changhong chuckled as if he heard a joke, and quickly calmed down his expression, "My mother-in-law is willing to hit the wall for the sake of the Ju family. How could the Ju family give up on our mother and son?"
"You underestimate the friendship between my mother-in-law and my uncle too much, and you also underestimate my mother as a person."
What does this mean?
People around him were still confused, but Chang Yan quickly grasped the key point and said with a horrified expression, "Empress Ju is awake?"
Only with Concubine Ju's advice can the Ju family be so determined that they dare to resort to this trick - first let Zhu Changhong pretend to be stunned to disrupt the wedding banquet, and then let the Ju family join forces with the second prince. In fact, he planned alone, on the day of canonizing the crown prince. He plotted rebellion under the guise of the second prince.
In the eyes of the world, the charge of treason belongs to the second prince, but the actual benefits belong to the eldest prince and the Ju family.
I have to say that this strategy is quite clever.
But why did the Ju family and Concubine Ju think that the second prince, who could calm down and lie dormant for more than ten years, was led into a trap and used by them.
Chang Yan glanced at him from the corner of his eye and found Zhu Changyu in the corner. He didn't know when to stop wondering, half of his body buried in the shadow.
Interesting, interesting.
Today's canonization of the Prince's Hall was more interesting than he thought.
"My mother-in-law is indeed awake. You can pretend to be sick and go to the exam, and you can also pretend to be sick and hide in the West Third Institute and not come out. Why can't we." After Zhu Changhong finished speaking, there was no pride on his red face, but hesitation. After a moment, "The entire Fengtian Palace is now under control. Not even a fly can fly in. You'd better not act rashly."
Today is the crown prince, and all the civil and military officials and the confidants of the entire Prince's Mansion are here.
As long as she controls it properly, it will be difficult for the guards outside to notice. Concubine Ju's skills are indeed excellent.
Chang Yan glanced at his brother and sister from the corner of his eye, shaking his head to indicate not to act rashly.
At the peak of the decisive battle, he did not believe that the second prince could still patiently lurk. If he missed it, he would lose the throne forever.
"You go and secure the civil and military officials. You go and ask your father to get the jade seal. You go and prepare to rewrite the crown prince's book..." Zhu Changhong was arranging the guards in an orderly manner.
When he gave the order, only ten of the thirty guards with swords turned around.
The remaining twenty all drew out their sharp blades and stabbed their companions who turned around to death.
The accident happened in an instant, and blood dripped throughout the hall.
Even Mr. Sun Ge was shocked at this time. After he realized what he was doing, he slapped his thigh and said, "It's all evil. It's all evil."
We are both guards but we kill each other, we are brothers but we are at war with each other, what if it is not a crime?
Zhu Changhong was stunned by this turn of events. He subconsciously took two steps back and said in shock, "Who, what's going on? How dare you!"
Mr. Sun Ge sighed and turned away.
After all, things developed out of control, and the sound of swords, guns, swords and halberds sounded outside again, accompanied by unbelievable roars and screams, leaving bodies lying on the ground.
Concubine Ju's nephew was covered and fled into the hall, staggering to the end while holding his wound, "Your Highness, the originally agreed alliance has rebelled. Li Qiang from the third team took action and killed all the people the Ju family had deployed over the years."
Zhu Changhong's complexion gradually turned from red to pale. He staggered two steps again, and what he murmured was, "I told you not to go astray, I told you not to be so extreme..."
