This censor can handle it, he really sprays when something happens

Chapter 158 The Price of Proclaiming Emperor, The Last Roar of Emperor Tianfu
Today's Shengjing is destined to be an extraordinary day.

The common people in Shengjing have noticed something unusual from before, and there is also tension about the storm.

First of all, a large number of troops stationed outside the city poured into the city, and blocked the gates of various cities and imposed martial law throughout the city.

There are many more soldiers patrolling the streets. All the people and vendors are ordered to stay at home and not to go out. Anyone who disobeys will be shot!

The people were terrified and hid at home.

Looking at the soldiers coming and going on the street through the crack of the door, listening to the clang of armored armor, I was puzzled.

Sheng Jing, what happened?

And at this moment outside the Li Mansion, there are also teams of elite soldiers guarding the gates.

Li Qing and Princess Changning went out to check the situation, but were stopped by soldiers at the door.

"What are you doing?!"

Princess Changning was immediately furious, her pretty face was darkened, and she exuded a forceful aura.

Inexplicably, a group of soldiers surrounded the residence.

It would be difficult for anyone to keep calm, let alone a proud woman like Princess Changning.

A young general at the head bowed his hands to Princess Changning, bowed his head and said, "Reporting to Princess, there have been changes in the palace, and we are ordered to protect His Highness and the Demon King."

"Now the whole city is under martial law. Without an order, no one is allowed to go out, otherwise they will be punished as treason!"

Princess Changning was shocked when she heard this.

Has something changed in the palace?Martial law in the whole city?
Could it be that the father... died?

Thinking of this possibility, Princess Changning could no longer keep calm and was about to leave the mansion!

"His Royal Highness, please stay behind!"

The young general stepped forward to stop Princess Changning, and many soldiers around also surrounded her.

"Go away!"

Princess Changning is worried about the life and death of Emperor Tianfu at this moment, how can she listen when she is so anxious?

Her phoenix eyes were wide open, and she directly yelled angrily.

The majesty developed by commanding troops for a long time, and the murderous aura cultivated by countless corpses and seas of blood, one drink made many soldiers' scalps go numb, and they couldn't help but take a step back.

The young general stepped forward bravely, knelt on one knee and said, "If Your Highness wants to leave the mansion, kill me first!"

They are also ordered to do so.

It is said that those who dare to leave home without authorization will be punished and killed for treason, but who would dare to really do anything to Princess Changning?
Not to mention that the other party is the most beloved daughter of His Majesty today, just being the wife of the Demon King makes everyone dare not touch her in the slightest.

"You really want to die!"

Princess Changning was so angry that she wished she could directly kill all these soldiers.

But she also knew that the other party was also innocent, just obeying orders, it would be too cruel to kill someone, and she couldn't bear to do that.

The young general remained kneeling on the ground motionless.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, Li Qing also heard the movement and walked out from the mansion.

After looking at the situation outside, Li Qing persuaded Princess Changning: "There have been changes in the palace, but the Golden Dragon of Luck has not moved, which means that His Majesty is fine now, so you don't need to get too excited."

"It's better to stay in the mansion and wait for the news."

"They are just following orders. Is it possible that you really want to kill them?"

After hearing Li Qing's words, Princess Changning calmed down, then she pursed her lips, looked in the direction of the imperial city with complicated eyes, then turned and returned home.

"Thank you, Town Demon King!"

The young general clasped his fists at Li Qing gratefully.

Li Qing nodded slightly, and then asked, "What happened in the palace? Who gave you the order to wait to enter the city?"

He recognized the identities of these soldiers.

It is an infantry battalion stationed outside the city.

And the duty of this kind of army is to defend the king's capital, and without an order from the palace, they are not allowed to enter the city without authorization.

The young general hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said: "If you go back to the prince, I have received the order from the second prince, so I dared to enter the city."

"I heard that... someone wants to change the palace to rebel."

"Your Majesty's order and the Tiger Talisman are in the hands of the second prince, and we are just following orders."

The army has always accepted orders but not people.

All the troops can be mobilized by the decree of the emperor plus the tiger talisman, and there is no need to consider other things.

Just follow orders.

Li Qing's complexion also changed slightly after hearing this, he was surprised but also unbelievable.

Someone wants to launch a palace change and want to rebel?

Could it be the eldest prince?

No matter how Li Qing heard this news, he found it absurd, because the eldest prince had no need to rebel!
All the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty had their hearts attached to the Eldest Prince, and Emperor Tianfu also attached great importance to the Eldest Prince. After all, the power to oversee the country was extraordinary, and giving him the power to oversee the country was already tantamount to cultivating him as a prince.

In this case, launch a palace change to rebel?

He had a feeling of "Why did His Majesty rebel".

After calming down, Li Qing thanked the young general, then turned and went back home.

After returning to the mansion, Princess Changning sat in the yard in a daze, looking at the sky in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

Li Qing knew that she was depressed and worried, so he went up to comfort her and patted her on the back lightly, without saying a word.

Princess Changning suddenly clutched her chest, and said with tears in her eyes: "Changqing, I don't know why, I suddenly feel so panicked..."

She felt extremely restless at the moment.

It seemed as if something terrible had happened.

Standing beside Princess Changning, Li Qing didn't speak, but he looked up at the big Zhou's Pillar of Destiny.

Luck has quietly begun to change.

……

……

The second prince mobilized the infantry battalion outside the city to enter the city as soon as he got the decree and the tiger talisman.

First, he took over the city defense and imposed martial law throughout the city, and then sent people to put all the ministers under house arrest at home, in case someone secretly made small moves and caused accidents.

After finishing all this, the Second Prince, surrounded by his subordinates, led his troops to the First Prince's mansion.

He and King Huaixin split into two groups. He went to Taixuan Gate to ambush the eldest prince, while King Huaixin went to the eldest prince's house to control the other's family.

However, when the Second Prince arrived at the First Prince's mansion.

The scene in front of him made him stunned.

The gate of the eldest prince's mansion was opened, and one could see corpses lying on the ground, blood flowing like rivers.

The second prince felt his scalp go numb in an instant, and without further ado, he led people directly into the first prince's mansion.

And at this moment, he also happened to meet a group of soldiers walking out of the mansion, and the leader was the butler of Prince Huaixin's mansion!
"See Your Highness Second."

After the housekeeper saw the second prince, he bowed and saluted.

The second prince looked grim, stepped forward and grabbed the butler by the collar, and asked angrily, "Who told you to kill someone! Why did you kill him!"

He was mentally prepared to kill Wu Gan, but he didn't even think about killing the other party's family!

After all, those are also his imperial sister-in-law and imperial nephew, so how can he do it?

What's more, Wu Gan was still begging him before he died!
He came here with his troops to control Wu Gan's family first, but he didn't expect...it was already too late.

The butler was indifferent when he heard the words, and calmly said: "This is the order of the prince, and we are just following the order."

"The lord said that the prince's mansion will not leave anyone alive, and no one will be left alive. It is necessary to prevent future troubles."

This indifferent attitude made the second prince even more angry.

But he also knew in his heart that it was not something the housekeeper dared to do by himself, but an order from his fourth uncle.

Resisting the urge to cut off the housekeeper with a sword, the second prince couldn't bear to see the miserable state of the mansion any longer, and left cruelly.

Crying and screaming sounded behind him.

……

……

Huaixin Palace.

After the Second Prince left the First Prince's Mansion, he rushed directly to the Huaixin Palace, heading all the way to the study.

King Huaixin was drinking tea and listening to music in the study at this time, as if all the changes and killings in the capital today had nothing to do with him.

"Bam—!"

The door of the study room was directly pushed open by the second prince, making a heavy sound, interrupting the melodious sound of the piano.

Under Qin Nu's horrified eyes, the second prince walked in with a gloomy face and blood on his armor.

"Why did fourth uncle kill my eldest brother's family?"

The second prince stared at King Huaixin and questioned him.

In their plan, there was no such thing as exterminating the First Prince's mansion from top to bottom.

"why?"

King Huaixin took a sip of tea lightly, then raised his eyes to look at the second prince, and said plainly: "Cut the weeds and roots, do I still need this king to tell you this truth?"

"Wu Kun, what do you think you are doing?"

King Huaixin's eyes were extremely cold, and he stood up from the chair. He was not as tall as the second prince, but at this moment, he seemed to be a giant, looking down at the second prince.

"What you are doing is to rebel and seize the throne!"

"In the future, the official historian will write that you killed your brother and forced your father to win the throne! This is the infamy you must bear!"

"Do you think that if you let Wu Gan's family go, the historian will not remember what you did?"

"Since you choose to take this path, you have to make sure that you don't leave any hidden dangers! It's not just a woman's benevolence!"

"The king will help you with the things you can't do. This is already a kind of kindness to you."

"But you have to know that when you become the emperor in the future, the cruel things you will face will be ten times, a hundred times more cruel than this! At that time, do you still want to be weak?"

"On the point of being ruthless, you really have to learn from your father, he is better than you and Wu Gan."

King Huaixin finished speaking coldly.

Emperor Tianfu has always been the most ruthless one, and he didn't hesitate to let the Eighth Prince die.

This is the cold blood that an emperor should have.

The second prince is indeed ruthless, but he hasn't experienced real cruelty yet, and he hasn't fully grown up yet.

Killing the eldest prince and his family today was the first lesson that King Huaixin taught him.

The second prince's eyes were red and he gritted his teeth.

After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "But father, he just wanted to choose me."

King Huaixin was taken aback when he heard these words, and soon understood what the second prince meant, but he was neither shocked nor regretted.

"So what, Wu Gan still has to die."

"Don't look at you regretting it now, if Wu Gan is alive, your throne will never be secure."

"Because the Great Zhou in the future will no longer be threatened by the family, naturally there is no need for anyone to check and balance the family."

"After the aristocratic family is removed, the next step is to flatten the vassal king."

"So what's the point of you keeping your weapons and not killing them?"

King Huaixin deserves to be a person who has been in the dark for decades with Emperor Tianfu, and his heart and wrist are not comparable to the second prince.

In comparison, the second prince is still a little immature.

In other words, it is still impossible to be completely heartless and cold-blooded.

King Huaixin is now going to train the second prince step by step, making him a real iron-blooded emperor!

Only in this way can we compete for world hegemony!
After admonishing, King Huaixin slowed down again, patted the second prince on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't think about these things now, just do what you should do."

"This king is going to meet someone now."

After King Huaixin finished speaking, he strode out of the study, leaving the second prince with a tall and straight back.

The second prince stood on the spot and carefully chewed the words that King Huaixin said to him, his heart sank little by little.

Is this the price of becoming an emperor?
In the end...it can only be a lonely family.

……

……

King Huaixin did not take a carriage or ride a horse.

After he left the palace alone, he walked all the way towards the palace, during which all the soldiers looked at him and bowed their heads.

And when he came to the palace, all the imperial guards respected him, and no one dared to stop him.

He walked through the empty palace.

All the way to Yong'an Palace, the road is unimpeded.

At this time, in the apse of Yong'an Palace, Emperor Tianfu sat alone on the steps, with disheveled hair and blood-stained robes.

Next to him was the head of the eldest prince Wu Gan, and on the other side were jugs of wine, and he sat on the ground and drank heavily, not caring about the majesty of the emperor at all.

Hearing footsteps, Emperor Tianfu raised his head and saw that it was King Huaixin who entered the hall, so he couldn't help squinting his eyes.

Then he burst out laughing again, patted the steps beside him and said with a smile, "Is the fourth brother here? Come and sit down."

"Just come to have a drink with me."

King Huaixin didn't speak, just walked over as he said, then picked up the wine and poured it for himself, and drank with his head back.

The two of them just had one glass for each other, drinking on their own until they had finished all the drinks.

"Enough, brother."

King Huaixin held down Emperor Tianfu who wanted someone to bring him some drinks, and then looked up at him.

Emperor Tianfu lost his spirits, and casually threw the empty jug in his hand aside, and then fell down on the steps.

"How long has it been since the two of us drank like this?"

"I remember, it seems that since I ascended the throne, the frequency of drinking between you and me has become less and less."

Emperor Tianfu looked at the beams of the main hall and murmured.

King Huaixin remained silent and just sat there.

Emperor Tianfu saw that he didn't answer his own words, so he didn't bother to say any more, he just asked: "You planned this palace change, what are you going to do next."

"Put all the stigma on Kun'er, and then ascend to the throne by yourself? Well, it's completely possible with your ability."

"It's just that if you want it, why don't you tell me?"

"If it were you, why would I be reluctant to give it to you?"

Emperor Tianfu looked at King Huaixin beside him, and asked questions hidden in his heart, with deep hatred hidden in his eyes.

"But why are you!"

"Why do you have to force Kun'er and Qian'er to kill each other!"

"Answer me!"

The voice of Emperor Tianfu resounded like a roar, resounding through the hall!
