"Brother Yi, you are so shameless. You have already started to rebel, and you still want to blame others." Lu Qingming sneered, his words full of ridicule.
"Ha, third brother, you can still speak harshly now. When I ascend the throne, you will probably have to kowtow to apologize." Lu Qingfeng was not afraid at all and retorted directly.
The two of them looked at each other in the air, with murderous intent in their eyes.
Lu Qingfeng waved his hand and said, "Get rid of the third child first."
Obviously he wanted to kill Lu Qingming and sacrifice the flag first, but the third prince was well prepared. Countless guards immediately swarmed up and guarded him. Those who wanted to kill him could not break through the encirclement.
The two sides fought back and forth, and the smell of blood in the palace became stronger and stronger.
Some military generals who relied on both sides also joined in, but there were still people who did not rely on either side and chose to sit on the sidelines.
It was hard to tell the winner for a while, they just waited for the eastern suburbs army to arrive.
After a cup of tea, the sound of heavy footsteps and the clash of armors was heard again outside the palace. It was obvious that the long-awaited Eastern Suburbs Army had finally arrived.
Lu Qingfeng wiped the blood on his face and sneered at the other side: "Third brother, my reinforcements have arrived, and your death has also arrived."
Lu Qingming was still sitting in his wheelchair, surrounded by people who were protecting him. He was not afraid of Lu Qingfeng's provocation.
"Brother 1, whose death date is not certain yet!"
Seeing his calm and composed appearance, Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but frown.
Lu Qingming is clearly at a disadvantage at the moment, so why does he still look so confident? Is there another hidden secret?
He couldn't help but have some ominous premonitions in his heart, but the situation was urgent at the moment and he was not allowed to think too much.
Soon the Eastern Suburbs Army came in, and Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but feel happy.
"Come and kill the third child!" He immediately raised his voice and said.
The leading general Wei Shun glanced at him, raised his sword and struck, but the one he struck was not the third prince's guard, but the one who rushed towards Lu Qingfeng.
"Wei, you are so damn blind! See who that person is!" he shouted angrily.
Wei Shun had a fierce aura, a scar across his face, and could scare a child to tears when he was expressionless. At this moment, when he heard the first prince's words, he couldn't help but raise his brows, with a mocking smile on his face.
"Your Highness, my subordinates can clearly see that the person who is being chopped off is yours."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised the knife and dropped it, and another guard's head fell to the ground.
The officers and soldiers of the Eastern Suburbs Army have seen blood, and they often switch defenses with frontier soldiers. The bloody smell on their bodies is very strong, and they are deadly when they strike. Compared with the Imperial City guards, they are much more fierce.
He quickly killed all the guards around the first prince and captured him directly.
Lu Qingfeng was still in a state of shock when someone twisted his arm and forced him to kneel on the ground.
"Wei Shun, you beast, how dare you betray me?" He cursed in anger.
Wei Shun sneered: "Your Highness, this is wrong. I'm not yours at all, so how can I betray you?"
"You obviously accepted my gold and countless beauties, but now you don't obey my orders. What is this but betrayal? Besides, what good is he? You actually went to serve a cripple, and Northern Qi was handed over to the hands of useless people. Even Da Yan those
Spineless ones, I look down on you! "Lu Qingfeng was so angry that his mouth was filled with smoke.
All the benefits were taken away. When he was planning, he promised to do well, but on the battlefield, not only did he not help, but he also turned to the enemy to deal with him.
"Your Highness, what you said is wrong. The third prince is definitely better than you. You are short-sighted, have a bad temper, and Concubine Yu's natal family is here. Even if your subordinates risk their lives, they won't be able to earn much. Fugui, the third prince is both benevolent and generous. The most important thing is that he is not as bold as you and dares to rebel. He notified his subordinates in advance, but he came to rescue him!" Wei Shun's words were so high-sounding that he started to boast directly. , it makes people’s teeth ache.
"Brother Yi, how do you know that I will be disabled forever? The imperial doctor has found a way to heal my legs." Lu Qingming sneered.
"You fart, if there is really a way, you can walk long ago, why wait until now? It's just to deceive your father and these ministers, and to make them have confidence in you. When you get the throne, if you still He is a cripple, and no one dared to say anything at that time." Lu Qingfeng cursed directly, not believing it at all.
Lu Qingming turned coldly and said directly to the person next to him: "Bring me the crutches."
Soon, someone from the palace brought the crutches, and Lu Qingming actually stood up with the crutches, and even took two steps forward.
You must know that before, his lower body was completely unconscious, and even using a cane would be very difficult, but now it is much easier, and it has obviously improved a lot.
When Lu Qingfeng saw that he could really get off the ground, his face became even more ugly. He couldn't help but close his eyes. When he opened them again, his eyes were full of despair.
"Third brother, you are indeed shady. In fact, you also wanted to rebel, but you endured it. Now when I rebel, you come to my rescue. This not only protects your reputation, but also achieves your goal. You have been paralyzed in a wheelchair for so many years. You must be pretending. In fact, it wasn’t that bad at all. I just wanted to make my reputation better. In order to save my father, I spent a lot of time on my own. I am very skillful in using the torture trick." His eyes were red, as if It felt like bleeding, but I don't know whether it was anger or unwillingness.
"I don't understand what Brother Yi is talking about. I am loyal and filial to my father, and the world can learn from it. How can you slander me?" Lu Qingming said directly.
Although Lu Qingfeng guessed his thoughts clearly, he was the winner at this moment, so naturally he would not admit it.
History is written by the victors.
"Father, the rebellion has been suppressed and the First Brother has put down the law. No one can force you to write the imperial edict of succession." Lu Qingming turned around and saluted with a very solemn tone.
Most of the rebels were killed, Lu Qingfeng, the thief, was subdued, and the palace returned to its previous calm.
If it weren't for the bloodstains that could be seen everywhere, it would seem like there was still singing and dancing here.
The palace people began to clean up quietly, and soon the blood stains disappeared. Everything seemed like it had never happened, except for the prince who was still being escorted and kneeling on the ground.
Lu Wuji raised his hands to applaud and praised, "You are indeed my good son!"
The courtiers who sat back in their seats also raised their hands and applauded, and bursts of praise echoed in the hall.
The courtiers who had taken refuge with the third prince before had their eyes shining brightly and their palms turning red. They already felt that the wealth and honor in the sky was about to come.
The prince has lost his memory and has no one to follow him. The first prince conspired to rebel, but the third prince succeeded in saving him. The fourth prince has no foundation at all. Who can inherit the throne now?
, there is only the third prince.
They had already booked victory in advance.
"What are you doing, General Wei? Take all the rebels away." Lu Wuji waved his hand.
Wei Shun immediately called his soldiers and dragged the first prince and his grandfather and uncle away.
"Third brother, I'm not wrong about you. Of all the sons, you are indeed the best at strategy and forbearance. Today you put down the rebellion in time and saved me in a crisis. What reward do you want? Just say it, I agree to it." Lu Wuji He looked very pleased and immediately put down his bold words.
When Lu Zhao heard this, he raised his brows. The old man was very generous today, but this generosity always made people feel uneasy.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
But this matter has nothing to do with him. He is just here to watch the show. No matter what happens in the end, he doesn't have to worry about it.
"Father, I am both your son and your minister. It is natural for me to be loyal to you, and it is my duty to stop the rebellion. How can I ask for any reward? I just want my father to live a long life. Blessings continue." The third prince supported himself with a cane, clasped his hands in a salute, and spoke in a very solemn tone.
These words were quite beautiful, and only the first prince was dragged down, otherwise he would have been so angry that he would have yelled loudly again.
However, the fourth prince on the side couldn't hold it back and snorted coldly.
"You are worthy of being the third brother. He is really filial. He gave up one of his legs to save his father, and now he is able to contact the Eastern Suburbs Army to escort him. This man is so capable, his hands and eyes are as good as the sky."
"Xiao Si, eat more food and talk less."
Before Lu Qingming could defend himself, Lu Wuji started to defend himself.
The emperor's attitude made everyone present even more frightened. This behavior seemed to indicate that the third prince was one step closer to the throne.
"Everyone, let us raise a toast to the bravery and resourcefulness of the third prince tonight." Lu Wuji raised his glass directly, and all the ministers responded.
Suddenly, the banquet returned to the state of drinking and drinking, as if the rebellion just now was all an illusion.
In Wangchun Palace, everyone was waiting anxiously, and suddenly a palace official came slowly over carrying a sedan.
Everyone took a closer look, and someone immediately recognized him.
"Jia Zhaoyi is back!"
"It's really Jia Zhaoyi, and she's riding in a sedan chair!"
Concubine Yu panicked when she heard this. Before she could ask, she saw Qin Youan walking in with a token.
"A prince failed in his rebellion and has been captured. This has disturbed your noble masters' enjoyment."
As soon as he said these words, the guards who were originally controlling Wangchun Palace sheathed their swords and bowed their heads one by one to obey orders. It was obvious that they were just pretending to be Concubine Ting Lingyu, and there was actually someone else who ordered them.
"Take Concubine Yu away." Qin Youan waved his hand, and someone immediately came forward and dragged her away.
Concubine Yu's face was full of disbelief. She struggled immediately and screamed: "How could it fail? How is my son? Is he still alive?"
Her voice resounded throughout the hall, but unfortunately no one answered. Qin Youan didn't even raise his eyelids, as if it was a waste to look at her any more.
"Jia Zhaoyi, please slow down."
After Concubine Yu was dragged off, Qin Youan immediately turned around and bowed to ask Jia Zhaoyi to get off the sedan. This inconsistent attitude was completely different, and it also highlighted the different situations of Concubine Yu and Jia Zhaoyi.
The female relatives in the palace were whispering for a while. In just over an hour, the status of Concubine Jia Zhaoyi and Concubine Yu was directly reversed.
It was clear that it was Jia Zhaoyi who was dragged away before, and was even called a beauty, but now she was personally asked to get off the sedan by the chief steward next to the emperor. Concubine Yu, who looked like she had a chance to win, has now become a prisoner, and the end has been reached. Certainly.
When the birthday banquet was over and the ministers left, they passed by the door of Concubine Yu's natal home. They found that the mansion had been ransacked, and all the clan members and servants had been taken away. Boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were sent out of the house overnight.
The emperor was furious about this rebellion and obviously couldn't wait any longer. !
