In an instant, all the rebels were captured.
Jiang Qi shouted, "Prince Ning is here, open the door."
At the same time, Su Shunci heard a burst of crying coming from the side room. It was Zhenzhu and others calling Feicui's name.
She leaned against the wall and slowly slid down to the ground.
Jadeite went there and she killed Jadeite.
Su Yuanzhou came in with the intention of seeing Su Qingyu. After confirming that his sister and the Shen family were safe, he would go to the palace to quell the rebellion.
Lin Wuchen also came with Su Yuanzhou.
When the two entered the room, they did not see Su Qingyu, but instead saw Su Shunci sitting in the corner.
At this time, Su Shunci was covered in blood and sat there like a lost soul.
Lin Wuchen's heart twitched suddenly, and then he quickly walked to Su Shunci, "Aci, are you injured?"
He bent down and wanted to help Su Shunci up to take a look.
The moment Su Shunci raised her head and saw who was coming, her tears began to flow uncontrollably like a dam bursting.
"Third cousin...you...why did you come just now?"
After asking this question, Su Shunci burst into tears and gasped for breath.
Lin Wuchen panicked for a moment, holding her shoulders and asked: "What happened? Are you injured? Tell me quickly, where are you injured?"
Su Shunci cried so hard that she couldn't speak. After a long while, she said, "I'm fine. Feicui... Feicui blocked an arrow for me. She gave her life for me."
Lin Wuchen was stunned, thinking of the taciturn little girl he picked up, and felt sad.
Then he raised his hand and gently wiped Su Shunci's tears, "Don't cry, it's my fault, I'm late."
But the more Lin Wuchen wiped, the more sadly Su Shunci cried.
Finally, Lin Wuchen had no choice but to hold her in his arms, gently stroking her back and comforting her: "It's all over, don't worry, Feicui will not die in vain."
Seeing that Su Shunci was fine, Su Yuanzhou went to see Su Qingyu.
After knowing that the Shen family was safe and sound, Su Yuanzhou did not stay for long and rushed to the palace.
At this moment, inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, all the civil and military officials suddenly lost their strength.
Only Mr. Zhou had a knife held to his neck.
I think they were afraid that Mr. Zhou would notice that the wine was poisoned, so they specially arranged someone to subdue him.
When the Dragon Guards around Emperor Xuande shouted to protect the emperor, they were shot by arrows and fell to the ground and died.
All this happened so quickly that Emperor Xuande didn't even know who was causing the rebellion.
He looked down into the hall, and only the second brother was not there. Could it be that he had rebelled?
Just when he was confused, the prince stood up and said, "Father, I have something to discuss with you today. I hope you can write a letter of abdication and live out your days in peace."
The prince had been planning for today's situation for a long time. He knew that he could not defeat the Song family in terms of military strength.
Since we can't defeat him face to face, we can only use our wits to defeat him.
The means are not important; what matters is who sits in that seat in the end.
Emperor Xuande still had something he didn't understand, so he slammed the table and said, "It's you? You're forcing me to confess treason. You're already the crown prince, what else are you not satisfied with? Are you so anxious to take this seat?"
The crown prince looked up at Emperor Xuande, his mouth curled up into an arc, and he said sarcastically: "Crown Prince? I won't be the crown prince for many days, right?"
"After Father found his legitimate son, didn't he want to change the crown prince every day?"
"I have no rebellious intentions. I just got what I deserve. Besides, Father ascended the throne through a coup, so what right do you have to question me?"
Emperor Xuande snorted coldly, "You deserve it? This throne is yours only if I give it to you. If I don't want to give it to you, then it has nothing to do with you."
The prince smiled and said, "The winner is the king. Father is just being stubborn by saying this now."
Shen Zhixiu suddenly asked, "It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came prepared. Are the women in the side hall also under His Royal Highness's control?"
"But I still have one thing I don't understand. If Your Majesty is unwilling to write a letter of abdication, what will Your Highness do?"
"The soldiers from the West Mountain Camp will certainly rush to the palace to defend the king after hearing the news. With the troops under His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I'm afraid he won't be able to resist."
If the prince wants to ascend the throne, he cannot rely on force. Not to mention that the princes in the capital will not give up, even the princes in the distant fiefdoms will become suspicious. At that time, armies will surely rise up everywhere, and wars will continue.
Therefore, if the Crown Prince wants to secure his throne, asking the Emperor to abdicate is indeed the best way. Not only will it be legitimate, but it will also not hurt the foundation of the Great Zhou.
What Shen Zhixiu asked was also confusing to everyone else present.
The prince chuckled again upon hearing this, feeling even more proud.
"Since Lord Shen asked, I will just tell you straight away."
Having said this, he suddenly walked to the last empty seat at the entrance of the hall and lifted the cushion on the seat.
He directly exposed the gunpowder bag and fuse underneath and said, "The entire Hall of Supreme Harmony has been filled with gunpowder by me. If the emperor refuses to abdicate, today I will blow up all officials above the second rank, including the emperor."
"Even if it hurts the foundation of the Great Zhou, I can't care about that."
Emperor Xuande and the civil and military officials in the court took a deep breath. The prince had actually made this arrangement in advance.
"Zhou Jianyuan, you are a rebellious son. Not only do you want to kill the emperor and your father, but you also want all the civil and military officials to die today, right?" Emperor Xuande stared at the prince with his sharp eyes, gnashing with hatred.
The prince shook his head and said, "I didn't intend to do such a thing, but the decision is in the hands of the emperor. Whether these people can survive depends on the emperor's decision."
He was just gambling that Emperor Xuande would not ignore the Great Zhou.
The prince set up a trap today, and even Chen Zheng didn't know about it.
Chen Zheng was panicking at this moment, and now he saw that the prince had succeeded. The officials above the second rank and their families were all in the palace, and as long as the emperor wrote the edict of abdication and the prince ascended the throne smoothly, the matter would be settled.
But Chen Zheng was worried. Shen Zhixiu was a fox. Did he really not notice the prince's abnormality? And the father and son of the Song family were trapped in the palace?
Chen Zheng lowered his eyes and thought, if this matter was successful today, he would be the imperial teacher and be highly valued by the new emperor. If it failed, it would have nothing to do with him, he would still be the chief minister of the cabinet.
Chen Zheng made up his mind not to say a word today.
But Shen Zhixiu suddenly asked, "Teacher, what do you think of the Crown Prince's actions today? Do you also think that the throne is what His Royal Highness deserves?"
