Waste prince: Why do you force me to be emperor?

at this time.

The Zhang family, Liu family, Duanmu family, Liu family, Nangong family, and Lin family, which had the guards of Huangzhou and the masters of the Imperial City Division, were besieged.

All directions are surrounded by dark private armies, all of them have green eyes, like a group of hungry wolves surrounded by delicious food!

At the same time, the palace of Huangzhou was besieged!

The mansions of the ministers were also besieged!

the other side.

The central armies of the coalition forces have reached the foot of the imperial city, besieging the city on all sides, quietly hiding in the darkness, waiting for orders.

The darkness before dawn is long!

At this moment, the citizens of the imperial capital at the bottom had already woken up, looking at the situation outside through the cracks in the doors and windows with fearful eyes, the more they looked, the more frightened they became!

What a massive mutiny!

Is the emperor going to change?

At this time.

All the smart dogs in the imperial capital buried their heads under their legs, trembling and not daring to bark.

"Wang..."

Only those dumb, uninterested dogs dared to bark.

Then, they cut off the dog's head with a sword and turned into a dead dog!

"Oh......"

The same goes for those crowing roosters who don't know how to play, they are arrogant and arrogant, and they roar towards the east regardless...then their chicken heads were chopped off!

Shortly after.

The imperial capital became eerily silent, and the barking of dogs and chickens all disappeared!

The city is full of murderous intent!

now.

On the walls of the imperial city, the imperial guards drew their swords out of their sheaths, nocked their arrows and drew their bows, looking like a war is coming!

the other side.

At the entrance of a huge mansion, a few old men with extraordinary bearing and gray hair and beard appeared!

They all wore mink fur coats, sat on sedan chairs with gloomy faces, and marched towards the palace under the guard of countless masters.

Along the way, the private soldiers of the rich and powerful families all bowed and saluted!

After half a stick of incense.

These sedan chairs stopped in front of the palace gate, and several old men got off the sedan chairs, and said solemnly: "Please inform Your Majesty, the old Minister Zhang Shu of the Ministry of Officials is leading all the veterans to see you!"

On the imperial city.

Emperor Xia put the chess pieces in his hand into the box, stood up and said, "Xiao Jiu, the person here is Zhang Shu, the old minister who founded the Great Xia Empire with me back then. Guess why he asked to see me first?"

Xia Tian also put the chess pieces in his hand into the box: "Let us let people go!"

"What if I don't agree to their terms?"

"Do they dare to attack the imperial city?"

"dare!"

Xia Tian also raised his eyelids: "They dare to besiege the imperial city, so they don't care about the life and death of each family leader!"

"If we can force us to release people, it is best to keep the lives of the heads of the families!"

"If you can't keep it... then you can't keep it!"

"Hehehe..."

Emperor Xia smiled gratifiedly: "In terms of intelligence, none of your brothers are weaker than you, but they are all much smarter, far worse than you!"

"pity......."

Emperor Xia didn't continue.

Xia Tian seems to understand the meaning of "a pity"!

He is about to become a victim of this power struggle!

At this time.

Emperor Xia had already walked up to the arrow, and said, "Master Zuo, did your Sima family participate in this forced palace?"

Sima Jian replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, my Sima family is loyal to Your Majesty, and we will never dare and will never participate in this matter!"

"is it?"

Looking at the imperial capital full of murderous intent, Emperor Xia sighed, "I never imagined that each family trained so many private soldiers!"

"It really surprised me!"

"Where's your Sima family?"

"The Sima family has a long history and is known as the number one family in the Central Plains... How many private troops does your Sima family raise?"

"not much!"

Sima Jian had prepared a long time ago and pulled out a memorial from his sleeve.Respectfully handed it over: "Your Majesty, this is the property of our Sima family and the farm households and merchants supported by it, and some of them are the guards of the business and the farm. There are no private troops!"

Hearing this, a trace of solemnity flashed deep in Emperor Xia's eyes.

This old thing has been prepared for a long time!

He waved his hands away: "Sima Aiqing is truly commendable for her loyalty!"

"I won't look at the belongings of the Sima family!"

"I have never doubted the loyalty of the Sima family!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Sima Jian bowed his head and saluted, a cold light flashed in his eyes!

The emperor has become suspicious!

Now, the situation in the imperial capital has reached this point, it depends on who can have the last laugh!

At this time.

Emperor Xia said: "My lords, you brought soldiers and horses to see me...do you want to force the palace?"

"I dare not!"

Zhang Shu said under the imperial city: "Your Majesty, the old minister was originally sick in bed. Although he heard that there were treacherous ministers in the court, and encouraged His Majesty and the court to do things like robbing houses and abusing heroes and patriarchs. We will expel such treacherous ministers from the court, and restore peace to the court!"

"However, I never expected that His Majesty would listen to the slanderous words of the treacherous officials tonight. During the banquet, he would confine the heads of the families in the palace. He wanted to kill them and then take the money and food from the family. The old officials sat up in shock, so they forced themselves to get up and come to ask Your Majesty. ...is this true?"

Zhang Shu's words were not revealing, and he didn't say a word that the emperor was wrong, but every word said that the emperor was a fool!

He didn't mention Xia Tian in a sentence, but every word said that he was a traitor!

"Hahaha......"

Emperor Xia laughed loudly: "Master Zhang, I see that you are still very energetic, and you will have no problem living another 20 years!"

"Who said that I imprisoned the heads of the families?"

"Who said I'm going to kill them?"

"Who said I'm going to take your property?"

"Where did the rumor come from?"

Zhang Shu raised his head, looked at the figure of Emperor Xia, and followed the words; "Your Majesty, if there is no such thing, please let the heads of the families leave the palace and return home, then us veterans will feel at ease!

"As long as the Patriarchs come out, the old minister will send the guards back immediately so as not to disturb His Majesty!"

"Hahaha......"

Xia Di's laughter gradually turned cold: "You old guy is still so good at talking!"

"If I say...the patriarchs are all drunk and cannot leave the palace for the time being, do you believe it?"

Of course Zhang Shu didn't believe it: "Then please Your Majesty hand them over to the old officials who are drunk, so as not to embarrass them in the palace!"

"Please your majesty's permission!"

Emperor Xia's voice became colder and harsher: "Old Shangshu Zhang, you are too presumptuous!"

"Humph......"

Seeing that the emperor refused to hand over the heads of the families, Zhang Shu was even more convinced of the rumors!

He no longer pretended: "Your Majesty, if you don't hand over the heads of the families tonight, then the old minister will really be presumptuous!"

"All..."

Zhang Shu is ready to order an attack!

Suddenly, a sudden change occurred!

"hiss......."

The guard behind him drew out his knife, smelling blood, and stabbed him in the back!

The sword shines like a rainbow!

Fast as lightning!

In an instant, the tip of the knife cut through Zhang Shu's clothes, only [-] inches away from his skin.

The guard yelled: "Those who forced the palace - kill!"

at this time.

A group of guards behind Zhang Shu pulled out their knives and slashed at the people around him viciously: "Those who force the palace—kill!"

It's too late, it's too soon.

"Humph......"

I saw Zhang Shuren moving with him, dodging the knife perfectly: "I knew you were spies!"

"killed!"

"Puff puff......"

Daggers rose from the guards who drew their swords and pierced their waists: "Spies - die!"

Blood, crossflow!

On the imperial city.

Emperor Xia's face changed slightly!

It seems that everyone is well prepared!

interesting......
