Taking advantage of the darkness, the groom rushed all the way to the imperial city.
"who?"
The imperial guards recognized the official uniform of Dali Temple, but did not take action directly. They asked the groom to stop him and question him carefully.
"Entrusted by the third princess, there is a secret report that must be delivered to the emperor overnight."
These Imperial Guards were usually too late to capture the Ninth Princess, so how could they know the people around the Ninth Princess. In addition, what the groom showed was the token of the Third Princess, the Minister of Dali Temple, so the Imperial Guards did not dare to stop her.
When the groom entered the imperial city, everything seemed to be seamless.
"Tell the third princess that the rebels have entered the imperial city." The groom had just walked half a mile when the imperial guard who had stopped him took out a sound-transmitting jade slip and stuffed it into his men. He found a lame excuse to go to the latrine and left the public's sight.
The imperial city was very quiet at night. Apart from the patrolling imperial guards, there were only a few eunuchs and maids running around doing things for their master.
When the groom entered the imperial city, he changed his royal guard uniform into that of a eunuch. He lowered his head and took small steps. No matter who he met along the way, he nodded and spoke at the top of his voice.
"Why did you come here?"
The groom got into the Prince's Mansion through the side door that was usually reserved for servants to enter and exit. He alone could not create such a big battle.
"The prince doesn't just walk around the imperial city at night. I have to think about my head." The groom showed great respect to the prince, but there was a hint of disdain in his eyes that was not easy to detect.
Emperor Li Yue has been the crown prince for more than three thousand years, but this prince who plotted with outsiders to force him into the palace did not have so much patience.
The prince played with the prayer beads in his hand and asked in a low voice: "How are the preparations going?"
"Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind. It depends on whether the prince can convince the queen to hold back the imperial master."
Having stayed with the royal family for many years, the groom Xinmi in the court knew a lot.
The Imperial Preceptor is usually invisible, except for the last time the new emperor ascended the throne. The groom only learned from the Crown Prince that this Imperial Preceptor is the legendary helmsman in heaven and earth, and is the second-largest person in the entire Tianhuo Dynasty. A master below the emperor, he also has the identity of being the younger brother of the current empress.
"You don't need to worry about this matter. A few days ago, my men found a Nascent Soul Demonic Pill. I have sent my mother to give it to the Imperial Master. At this time, the Imperial Master should still be refining in seclusion. When the Imperial Master comes out, the overall situation will be decided. .”
Meng De, who had been peeping at the groom through the bronze mirror, heard the four words "Nascent Soul Demon Pill" and his hand holding the bronze mirror became much stronger.
There were only seven or eight thousand Nascent Soul monks in the entire continent, and even fewer demon cultivators. Still, it appeared at such a coincidental time, Meng De was almost certain that the demon pill belonged to Hongying.
[Calm down, you, a second-level Nascent Soul, can’t even pass the Imperial City Forbidden Army level. If you really want to take revenge, you have to wait. There will be chaos in the Imperial City tonight]
Talking about the groom, the prince is just a pawn in his eyes. Many ministers have always served the royal family, and only with the prince around can he use them for his own purposes.
The prince looked at the dark clouds covering the moon in the sky, and ordered the two secret guards hiding in the dark: "It's almost time, it's time to take action."
"clear."
Two low responses came from the void behind him. It was conservatively estimated that his strength was at least Nascent Soul Realm Great Perfection.
The groom was horrified. He had been in contact with the prince for many years and did not know that there were two such masters behind the prince. He was glad that he did not attack the prince first.
"They will lure away the imperial troops from the Suzaku Gate. There will be half a stick of incense before other imperial troops can support them. Your people must enter the city during this time. After that, you will be the prime minister, ranking among the three nobles."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. No, thank you very much, my emperor. Long live my emperor."
"You are truly worthy of being a horse breeder. The flattery is so comfortable. I like it."
The groom looked like a slave, but in his heart he was mocking the prince for talking nonsense.
The Zhuque Gate, Qinglong Gate, Xuanwu Gate, White Tiger Gate, and the four forbidden gates in the southeast and northwest felt a strange wind at the same time.
The dead man outside the underground palace who was responsible for checking the direction of the wind watched the flag in his hand move west and east, changing it seven times in ten breaths. He took out a fire talisman from his arms, ignited it with spiritual energy and threw it into the underground palace.
Wow!
The dead soldiers in the underground palace or the private soldiers secretly cultivated by the officials of the DPRK and China stood up one after another when they saw the fireball falling, and left the underground palace through the exit from near to far.
Numbering over 10,000, it was almost impossible for a march of this size to go undetected.
However, ordinary officials were not qualified to contact the emperor, and the people around the emperor had been bribed by the groom. They had enough time to break into the imperial city before the emperor discovered them.
Half of the imperial army in the entire imperial city had already surrendered to the groom. The reason why the prince sent people was simply to weaken the prince's strength.
Tonight's three-way game is destined to be exciting. The three princesses did not report the knowledge, not to share the worries of their father.
The emperor dies and the prince rebels. At this time, a hero is needed to kill the rebels. Then the third princess can make a brilliant debut and use her abilities to deal with those brothers and sisters who enjoy themselves all day long. It is too easy.
The emperor can stand out from a group of brothers and sisters, become the prince and be further crowned as the emperor, how can he be an ordinary person? The prince, the third princess and the groom who helps the prince win over the officials. Except for Mengde, he has control over everything in the city tonight.
It is said that the emperor's family has been ruthless since ancient times, but as a father, the emperor still cannot bear to do anything to his children. Unless it comes to the last moment, all he thinks about is that the children will be able to stop the situation.
The Imperial Guard who let the groom into the city to report to the Third Princess was one of the emperor's many eyes and ears in the capital.
Compared with the first two, the prince is extremely stupid. He has nothing but relying on a large amount of resources to win over the strong. He is obviously not a third-party player in tonight's chess game.
This third-party chess player is naturally a groom who has worked hard and climbed up to where he is now step by step.
From the beginning when the Ninth Princess was lost, to later when he found the Ninth Princess, and even now everything is controlled by him behind the scenes.
"The emperor and the prince's people have entered the imperial city."
The commander of the Jinyiwei, who had been bribed by the groom, made the two deputy commanders of the imperial army stand respectfully behind the emperor.
These three people have served three emperors one after another, and they cannot be bought by profit.
"The third princess has summoned everyone in Dali Temple, but no action has been taken yet."
"I understand." The emperor nodded lightly. As a father, she wanted to tolerate her children's mistakes, but as an emperor of a divine dynasty, he did not allow anyone to betray him. If the prince and the three princesses still did not repent at the last moment, he would never be soft. .
The difference between the people on the emperor's side and the people on the prince's groom's side is almost a hundred times, but the strength of the troops lies in their strength rather than their numbers. The weakest weapons in the hands of the emperor are all golden elixirs.
There are ten Nascent Soul masters hidden in this palace alone.
The two masters sent by the prince lured away the Suzaku Gate Imperial Guards, but were killed by the masters of the Imperial Guards who had been ambushed by the groom in advance.
Crowds of people entered the city, and the show officially began.
The prince and the groom pushed the imperial guards all the way to the inner city of the imperial city.
Those who guard the inner city are all carefully selected by the emperor. If they are bribed, the emperor might know about it in advance.
"There is a tough battle ahead, and I am willing to be the forward."
The groom took the initiative to walk up to the prince, wanting to express himself, but what he got in return was the prince's disdainful look. "You are still a vanguard during the foundation building period, but you are more like cannon fodder."
"It's better to leave the war to those warriors. You can watch the show with me in peace." The groom has helped the prince win over many officials in recent years. In terms of ability, the prince still wants to keep him to work for him. After pretending to appease him, He said to the large army behind him: "Is there anyone willing to be the vanguard?"
Many people who wanted to express themselves wanted to be the first to stand out. Several masters rushed forward. Under the emperor's instructions to release the water, the south gate of the city was breached by the rebels in less than half a stick of incense.
The prince led the army with great momentum all the way to the emperor's palace.
"My son, I sincerely ask my father to abdicate."
The palace and even most of the harem heard the prince's voice. The emperor who had been prepared appeared outside the palace as soon as he finished speaking.
"Sooner or later, this country will be yours, why are you in a hurry?" The emperor said with a look of hatred that iron cannot become steel. To achieve great things, you must first learn to be patient. When things happen, you will be irritable and careless about your head and tail. How can such a person who can't even take care of himself do so? Such a great god can take care of hundreds of billions of people.
"Father has been the prince for thousands of years, haven't you ever been anxious? You should be able to understand how I feel now."
The emperor reprimanded: "It's extremely stupid. I can't sympathize with you. It's extremely stupid to bring outsiders into the situation even though you are planning to rebel."
Faced with the emperor's abuse, the prince smiled and said: "To achieve great things, you must do whatever it takes. This is what you taught me."
"I will give you one last chance. If you leave now, I can treat it as if it never happened." The emperor tried to regain the last conscience of the traitor.
The prince laughed after hearing this.
"Father, do you believe what you say? Not to mention whether you will leave a person who threatens you, I can't turn back just because I made such a big move today. Even if I want to go back on my word, what do you think? Can these people behind me agree?
You'd better give in to me obediently and live your life as your supreme emperor. "
Seeing that the rebellious son was so rebellious, the emperor clenched his fists and said many things in succession.
"If anyone wants to leave today, I will forgive him."
Behind the prince, before anyone could answer, the groom took the lead and spoke first.
"Emperor, there is no need to lie to children. Your compromise today is nothing more than weakness. If we retreat, will one of us be able to survive?"
There was no need to negotiate anymore. The emperor sighed deeply and turned back to the palace.
The prince immediately ordered to rush into the palace. No one knew if there was a secret passage in the palace, not to mention that the emperor was a master of transforming gods and had a chance of winning with thousands of people present.
"Prince, you are wrong. The reason why you have the opportunity to come here is because the emperor cares about the relationship between father and son. Otherwise, you may not be able to enter the Suzaku Gate."
The commander of the Jin Yiwei walked out of the palace, followed by two deputy commanders of the imperial army.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor has been prepared for a long time, but unfortunately the arrow is on the string and he has to shoot.
The people of the third princess who were present immediately reported the incident.
