dream of red mansion

Chapter 785 Sadness
Seeing the soldiers who started attacking the city again, the First Prince suddenly felt a chill.

I don't know when it started, the tens of thousands of troops surrounding him, now there are only a few thousand people left.

And his biggest reliance, Prince Kang, still has no news.

Looking up at the shady moonlight, the eldest prince suddenly had a doubt: tonight, maybe it's not as easy as he thought before.

Shaking his head, he forcibly pushed the worry out of his mind, fixed his eyes on Miyagi, and hoped that the palace gate would be opened in the next moment.Then he seized his father, and announced the Supreme Emperor's blood edict to the world, ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, those who follow others will prosper, and those who oppose him will perish.

"Your Highness, Commander Hu led his men and left the Imperial City from Bei'an Gate!"

A piece of news like a thunderbolt from the blue reached the ears of the eldest prince, so he couldn't ask if it was true for a while!
Bei'anmen, the north gate of the imperial city.

Hu Yong, he actually escaped?

Is Jingying so scary?
The First Prince's face was ashen.

The point is, why did he escape?Even if he betrayed himself now, did he think Emperor Zhengqing could forgive him?
Emperor Zhengqing above also got the news. Although he also didn't understand why Hu Yong escaped, he obviously didn't care too much.

"Nizi, still not repenting?!" Emperor Zhengqing yelled again.

He has already seen, in the distance, several "long dragons" are attacking here.

Those are the men and horses of the Beijing camp.

"Your Highness, the old man has a way to make His Highness invincible."

"Speak quickly, sir."

The First Prince ignored Emperor Zhengqing.He knew that the Jingying had broken through the city, and Hu Yong's escape meant that he could no longer enter the palace.

"Your Majesty is already over half a century old, and has only three sons. If the other two sons suddenly died suddenly, His Majesty will definitely not kill His Highness for the sake of inheriting the country."

The eldest prince understood immediately after hearing this, he looked at this peerless expert who defected to him a few years ago like a demon, and said, "But, fourth brother is only seven years old."

The Second Prince and the Fourth Prince are now detained by him in the First Prince's Mansion.

This was originally what he was going to use to threaten Emperor Zhengqing.

It never occurred to me to actually kill them.In other words, he never thought of killing the fourth prince, because the fourth prince was too young to have any impact on his great cause.

But now
Looking at the thousands of imperial troops under him who had no intention of fighting, and the soldiers from various clans whom he threatened and wooed, he was at a loss.

Jingying is coming soon!
"chatter"

The old man let out a strange laugh, and said: "If His Highness can't bear it, the old man has another way."

"What way?"

The old man whispered a few words in the eldest prince's ear.

"This?" The eldest prince looked horrified, but then he fell into deep thought.

Although it was still a few streets away, he could already hear the sound of guns from the Beijing camp.

Zhao Quan obviously couldn't resist the Beijing camp.

Maybe it's time to prepare a way out for yourself.
Gritting his teeth, he summoned his confidant: "Go and bring the second prince and fourth prince here!" Then he also whispered a few words in his confidant's ear.

The confidant looked at him almost the same way he looked at the old man before, but turned around and left without saying anything.

"Drive!" Mr. Wu suddenly turned the horse's head.

"What are you going to do, sir?" the eldest prince asked.

"Hehe, don't worry, Your Highness, this old man is not Hu Yong's generation. This old man is going to collect a debt. If we are still alive by then, this old man will definitely come to help us sincerely."

Half a quarter of an hour later, the palace gate was still broken.

The demoralized rebels seemed to see hope, revived their spirits, and scrambled into the palace.

"Send Your Majesty back to Daming Palace!"

Seeing that the winning ticket was within his grasp, Emperor Zhengqing would not show his courage, and retreated towards the Daming Palace under the desperate cover of Wei Lize and others.

With the help of Daming Palace, at least it can be blocked for a long time.

The First Prince, after all, there is no chance.

After another half a quarter of an hour, Jia Qing finally brought people to Xi'an Gate.

The place is already empty, except for the corpses all over the ground.

"Ouch~" Princess Xingyue couldn't help but ran to the edge of the city wall to retch after seeing such an eerie scene.

Niu Zhan and others naturally stepped forward to guard.

"go!"

Jia Qing didn't stop, and directly led the soldiers and horses into the palace.

Outside the Daming Palace, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army who were still following the First Prince until now saw the encircling Beijing soldiers and horses, and finally completely lost their fighting spirit and put down their weapons. Only the First Prince's soldiers were still fighting fearlessly.

The palace gate opened.

Emperor Zhengqing walked out.

"My minister came too late to save me, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Jia Qing stepped forward quickly, knelt on one knee and said.

"My lord, you are not guilty!"

Emperor Zhengqing helped Jia Qing up with his own hands, and then he came to the front of the steps without too much acknowledgment of the friendship between the emperor and his ministers.

"What else can you say?" Emperor Zhengqing said indifferently.

At the bottom of the steps was the eldest prince who was pinned to the ground.

At this moment, the eldest prince didn't have a trace of his previous bearing, he became like a beggar, and he said with horror on his face: "Father, you can't kill me, you can't kill me!
Now, I am your only son who can inherit the throne! "

Emperor Zhengqing's heart skipped a beat, and he shouted, "What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Marquis." Liu Xianglian walked over quickly, and after saluting Emperor Zhengqing and Jia Qing, she said, "I met the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince in the imperial city."

As she spoke, Liu Xianglian didn't seem to know what to say, and beckoned to bring her over.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, father""

The seven-year-old fourth prince had been in fear all day long, and now he finally saw his father, crying and trying to break free from the arms of Jia Qing's soldiers and run over.But as soon as he hit the ground, he immediately fell to the ground.

The soldiers immediately supported him.

Emperor Zhengqing didn't care about the eldest prince at this moment, he went directly to the fourth prince and said, "Kai'er, what's wrong with you?"

Jia Qing's soldiers were a little nervous and trembling in front of the emperor, trembling, they crossed the distance and said: "Fourth prince, he was killed."

His words were interrupted by Liu Xianglian's eyes, and he dared not speak again.

At this time, Jia Qing also came over, and by the light of the fire, he saw the fourth prince's lower body was blood red, and when he recalled what the eldest prince said just now, Jia Qing's pupils shrank.

Immediately turned to look at the second prince, Min Ning, who was also as pale as paper.It's just that a man in his twenties sees Jia Qing looking at him and covers his eyes with his hands.
Jia Qing was furious: This beast is so vicious!

No need to look back, he also knew how terrifying and furious Emperor Zhengqing's expression was now!
Emperor Zhengqing stared blankly at his youngest son's blood-stained lower body, and then looked at the worry and fear in his eyes, Emperor Zhengqing felt dizzy.

Liu Xianglian explained: "We found the Second and Fourth Princes outside the Xi'an Gate, they were brought to the palace by the people of the First Prince's Mansion, the subordinates captured a few, and the rest were killed. "

Regarding the dignity of the Tian family, Liu Xianglian did not dare to mention that the second and fourth princes were castrated.But everyone present must have seen it.

He had no choice but to tell Emperor Zhengqing who did it.

"Father."

What came to my ears was still the calling and crying of my youngest son, as if I wanted to ask myself to hug him and comfort him.

He may not even understand what he has lost.

"Pfft~!"

A mouthful of stagnant blood couldn't help gushing out, and was consciously diverted by Emperor Zhengqing. It didn't spill on the fourth prince, but it stained the white stone steps red.

"His Majesty!!"

The crowd exclaimed.

Jia Qing strode vigorously to support the crumbling Emperor Zhengqing.

Emperor Zhengqing pushed Jia Qing away, looked at the second prince Min Ning on the other side again, suddenly pulled out the saber from Jia Qing's waist, turned around, and walked towards the eldest prince step by step.

"Father, father, you can't kill me! If you kill me, the orthodox blood of the royal family will be broken in your hands.
My son promises that in the future, I will learn the way of governing the country from my father, and I will never be instigated by the villain again, and I will never dare to commit such a rebellious heart again."

The eldest prince was kneeling on the ground with his hands tied behind his back, but when he saw the gleaming steel knife in Emperor Zhengqing's hand, he was frightened and kept begging for mercy, kowtowing like garlic.

"I, did I treat you harshly?"

Emperor Zhengqing asked in a low voice.

The eldest prince kowtowed and said, "No. Father and emperor calm down, it's a moment for my son and minister."

Emperor Zhengqing continued: "Zhen, do you have the heart to abandon the elders and establish the younger?"

"No. I know I'm wrong, I really know I'm wrong, please give me another chance."

The eldest prince's expression was extremely remorseful, and he suddenly had a question, he was clearly the legitimate heir to the throne, and he only had two brothers under him.

Moreover, it is still a person who does not seek to make progress, and a person who is very young, why would he be deceived by lard and do such a stupid thing?

"Chance? Then you gave your two younger brothers a chance?"

"Father."

A ferocious expression appeared on Emperor Zhengqing's face: "Zhen, even if I adopt a son of the clan, I will never allow a villain like you who has no king, no father, no heart, no justice, and such a vicious villain to sit in my great Chu's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains! !!"

"father!"

Phew. Accompanied by the sound of blood flying, the First Prince's voice came to an abrupt end.

Jia Qing tilted his head, not daring to disturb Emperor Zhengqing.

If it weren't for the hatred to the extreme.

With Emperor Zhengqing's heart, how could he kill his own son himself!

On the other hand, what kind of heartache and sadness should make Emperor Zhengqing decide to kill the eldest prince himself? !
Jia Qing suddenly felt sorry for Emperor Zhengqing.

"Clang~"

The sound of a steel knife falling to the ground.

Emperor Zhengqing had fallen to the ground.
