Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Prince Anjiang knew that what they said made sense. Although he did not want to be the emperor, the new emperor would certainly not be at ease with him, the person who had been recommended by the ministers as the adoption object, and would still cause trouble for him. Prince Anjiang did not want to implicate Linlang and the child, so he agreed. He thought that when he became the emperor, he would let the ministers do everything as much as possible, and he would just rule by doing nothing.

——The Prince of Anjiang obviously thought too simply. With this group of old foxes in the court, it would be difficult for him to rule by doing nothing, unless he became a tyrant. Otherwise, if he ruled by doing nothing for a few years, he would probably lead the country into a pit.

I don't know what Prince Anjiang became like in his original world, but to be the darling of heaven, he must be quite capable. He was trained and did well. Anyway, in Linlang's world, if Linlang found out that the ministers were doing something that might bring serious harm to the country, she would definitely stop it. Not to mention anything else, she didn't want to live a long life in this world and end up in her old age with the country destroyed and herself in trouble.

At that moment, Prince Anjiang was busy with the matter of ascending the throne, while Shen Yuanniang was in a daze.

Just as Linlang thought, she died in her previous life before Concubine Wang and her son got into trouble, even earlier than her original body, so she didn't know what happened later. She just thought that since Concubine Wang and her son were so favored, her son would definitely become emperor.

But who would have thought that she thought too simply. Could a favored son become the emperor? Not necessarily. If there were no external factors interfering, it would be possible. However, if there were external factors interfering, it would not necessarily be possible to succeed in ascending the throne.

Now, someone forced the emperor to abdicate and killed them all, and he still wanted to be the emperor. If the prince that group of people supported was gone, and the people were leaderless, and the people's hearts were scattered, that group of people might have rushed to the Wang family and killed all the members of the Wang family.

Yes, that night, after the group of people killed all the royal family members who attended the palace banquet, they found that the prince they supported was gone. They were immediately in an uproar and didn’t know what to do next.

Although the leading minister who led them to cause trouble stood up to stabilize the military morale, saying that they had already controlled the palace, they might as well forge an imperial edict and get someone from the royal family to be the emperor, so that they could continue to be rich and powerful.

The Guards listened and prepared to do so.

But the situation soon changed.

It was impossible for every family in the capital to be completely unaware of such a major event as forcing abdicate. Soon, every family received news that the people who supported the enthronement of a certain prince had brought the imperial guards to force abdicate.

People from other families immediately supported the throne, especially those who supported the son of the deposed queen. They used to claim to be orthodox and had considerable power. They quickly gathered people and began to rescue the king.

They knew that if the emperor had not died and they had succeeded in saving him, the emperor would certainly look upon them with higher regard and would not necessarily pass the throne to Concubine Wang's son in the future.

If the emperor died but the deposed empress's son was still alive, they still had a chance to ascend to the throne.

Of course, the key is to rush to the palace to rescue the emperor. Don't be too late and the other party has already killed the prince they support. Then it will be useless. Other families also think so, so they all start to bring people into the palace to rescue the emperor.

Although the forces supporting the enthronement of a certain prince controlled the Imperial Guards and the Beijing Camp, it must be said that there were quite a lot of people in the Imperial Guards and the Beijing Camp, and it was almost impossible for them to control them completely, so they only controlled a part of them.

For example, they were able to control the palace this time because the guards on duty on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival happened to be the ones they controlled - of course, if it was not someone they controlled, they would also find a way to rotate with others and make sure to get the opportunity to rotate this time - because they are their people, they can control the entire palace.

But in fact, there were a total of five imperial guards, which took turns on duty, and they only controlled one of them. When the people outside found out about the palace coup, the other four imperial guards, as well as the people in the Jing Camp that they did not control, were immediately called out by the cabinet and other supporters of the prince, to start defending the king and besieging the palace.

The palace has no fields or crops, so there is no need to attack it. Just besiege it. After a long time, the people inside will starve to death.

So after the siege, there was chaos inside. Those who had been ambitious before and wanted to forge an imperial edict to find someone from the royal family to inherit the throne and continue to enjoy wealth and luxury, now began to worry about their lives. The imperial guards began to be out of control of the civil officials, and continued to become headless flies, just like when the prince died and there was no target to support him.

Even though the chief ministers said that they had written the will, these people did not listen and shouted: "If Your Highness were still alive and all the other princes were killed, even if the will was fake, those people would have no choice but to accept it because they only had the last prince. But now, all the princes are dead. If we want to establish a royal family, there are so many royal families outside. Why should we establish the one written in our fake edict? They will definitely not recognize the will and will establish the royal family they want! Since the will is useless, why bother with it!"

These people are thinking clearly, and this is indeed the truth.

So at that moment, some people advocated surrender, on the condition of being spared from death; some people felt that even if the other party agreed, they could not be trusted, so they prepared to break out from the weak points around the palace, and after breaking out, they would disguise themselves and blend into the civilian population and still survive; some people wanted to perish together and said they would burn down the palace; some people wanted to go crazy before they died and intended to rape the palace maids and concubines; and so on and so forth. It was a complete mess.

The civil official leader who launched the coup was now overwhelmed by the situation and could not think of a better solution for a while. After all, the palace was under siege and could not hold on.

Seeing the chaos in the palace, some civil officials knew they had no hope of survival, so they hanged themselves before the army attacked - they were afraid of being caught, because their crimes were so serious that they would not allow themselves to die easily, such as by slow slicing, so they just hanged themselves, at least to die easily.

As for being as crazy as the soldiers, killing people, raping palace maids and concubines, they had never thought about it. If they died like this, at most they would be charged with regicide in history, which was not too bad. After all, this emperor listened to the words of the witch and did so many foolish things. Their behavior was not unforgivable.

However, if a woman raped palace maids or concubines, she would forget about leaving a good reputation in history books, and her family would not have a good ending either.

So they chose to hang themselves, and before they hanged themselves, they asked the imperial guards to think about their reputation in history and their families, and not to rape the palace maids and concubines. It would not be a big crime for them to kill the emperor, saying that the emperor was incompetent. But if they did those things, they would immediately become traitors who could be killed by everyone, and their families would definitely be executed. If they did it wrong, they would probably be tortured to death. (End of this chapter)
