I have a book to play

The winter in Baoying's fifth year was a nightmare for the capital.

This year, due to his humble background, Han Wang accidentally fell off his horse and died only in the capital.Some people say that the one who caused the king of Han to fall from his horse was the eldest son of Sun Junliang, the minister of Dali Temple.Although Emperor Xihe did not anger Sun Junliang, he put his eldest son in prison for strict trial.

After more than a month, Zongzheng Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple jointly found out that the fall of Hanwang's horse was caused by the servant who took care of the horse in Hanwang's mansion and fed the accidental horse something that should not be fed.As a result, his mount's temper fluctuated and was difficult to control. In the end, King Han accidentally fell off his horse and was unfortunately trampled to death by the horse's hoof.

In order to catch the escaped domestic slave, the capital was turned upside down.When everyone didn't know it, the private soldier secretly raised by the King of Han was actually included in Xie Yu's pocket.However, several sons of the King of Han died of strange illnesses within a very short period of time, within ten days.

For a while, everyone in the capital was in danger, for fear that this strange disease would infect people outside the palace of the King of Han.

Xi and Emperor had five brothers in total, and without a Han king, the remaining four princes would naturally be afraid.After all, no one can say that King Han's death was really, as Zong Zhengsi said, just the unbearable revenge of a slave who had been tortured for too long.

But no other evidence was available.

After the sons of the King of Han died of illness one after another, strange rumors suddenly arose in the capital, saying that the deposed prince Xie Zhang was trying to force the palace to rebel.

Before there was any reaction from the palace, the third prince Xie Yu took the lead and led someone into Xie Zhang's residence.

At that time, Xie Zhang was surrounded by countless concubines, but he didn't have a single confidant, and the only thing he could do every day was drink away his worries.

If you drink too much, you will inevitably make mistakes.

When Xie Yu led the troops to break in, Xie Zhang was drunk, but the moment the sword rested on his neck, his flushed face faded away, and he subconsciously trembled.

The wine was spilled all over the floor.

Inside the wine-scented room, there was no obscene smell that could be smelled in the East Palace in the past, and some were full of a man's depressed, unpleasant sour smell, and even the servants who served him were scared and ran away long ago.

With a stern face, Xie Yu leaned over to look at Xie Zhang who was slumped on the edge of the bed: "Brother Huang. Brother II."

He patted Xie Zhang's cheek with his sword: "Brother Huang, reasoning, you are just a useless prince, and you have no ability to cause trouble anymore. But Brother Huang, how could you hide here secretly in a dragon robe? Could it be... Brother Huang is thinking of trying to usurp the throne?"

Xie Zhang had already woken up from the fright. He felt the cold blade on his cheek, and couldn't help breathing a little bit harder. It took him a while to find his trembling voice: "You, what nonsense are you talking about..."

The feeling of a wound on his neck being cut by the blade instantly made Xie Zhang swept away by fear. He was almost struggling to stand up from the ground, but Xie Yu kicked him back to the ground.

"Third, you can't do this! I didn't..."

Xie Yu smiled lightly, and raised his leg to step on his stomach: "Brother Huang, how can you not admit that you have done something wrong."

Xie Zhang was so painful that tears were about to overflow, he shouted angrily: "What are you going to do?"

Seeing Xie Yu laughing more and more strangely, he suddenly thought of something: "You, you are going to frame me?!"

Xie Yu stretched out his hand to cover Xie Zhang's mouth.

Xie Zhang did not make dragon robes.Although this man was full of thoughts on becoming the emperor before, but most of the time he was protecting his position as the crown prince, believing that he would be able to survive until his father abdicated.

This is so stupid.

The death of the King of Han was a game he set up, and the purpose was for those private soldiers who were raised secretly by the King of Han.With these private soldiers, plus the part in the hands of the aunt, it is enough to clear Xie Zhang's obstacle.

Xie Zhang knew that he had no way out, closed his eyes, trembling and stopped speaking.

He never thought of forcing the palace in his life, even if he became a deposed prince, he never thought of doing so.But after today, even if he was wronged, the word "wronged" will not be recorded in the history books.

Later generations will know that Xie Zhang, as the deposed prince, foolishly wants to "force the palace", fantasizing about ascending the throne and becoming emperor.

"Third," Xie Zhang opened his eyes and murmured, "You won't be able to do anything."

Xie Yu frowned, and pulled the sword hard.The sharp blade cut across Xie Zhang's throat mercilessly.

Blood gushed from the slit throat.Xie Zhang opened his mouth with great effort, but he couldn't make out what he wanted to say. He could only hear the intermittent voice of "You won't succeed, you won't".

The death of the deposed prince was completely caught off guard for Emperor Xihe, who had experienced the death of his relatives one after another.

He shut himself up all day long in Sixiang Gong Yuanhou's sick room, as if only here could he get some comfort.

But Empress Yuan's condition fluctuated repeatedly, and after only two days of work, she was dragged back several times by the imperial doctor from the gate of hell.

On this day, after Yuan Hou drank the decoction as usual at night, he suddenly vomited blood.The maids hurriedly invited the imperial physician, and Sixiang Palace was in turmoil for a while, and even the concubine Xian was invited to leave the place.

Emperor Xihe didn't dare to stay any longer, so he had to leave.

But the front foot just came out of the Sixiang Palace, and the old servant ran over and knelt in a trembling voice with sweat on the back foot: "Your Majesty, the Third Highness... the Third Highness is forcing the palace with soldiers and horses!"

"What is he messing around with?" Emperor Xihe was furious, "Forcing the palace? Thanks to him, he can figure it out. Could it be that I have treated him badly all these years!"

Back then, when Emperor Xihe was able to sit on the crown prince's position, and successfully ascended the throne and proclaim himself emperor, it would naturally not be a smooth sailing matter.There were not many bloody incidents experienced during this period, and there were only five of his brothers.

In order for the children and grandchildren to no longer have conflicts between soldiers and horses due to power struggles, Emperor Xihe never allowed the three sons to have enough soldiers and horses.

With the little soldiers in Xie Yu's hands, rushing into the forbidden palace and forcing the palace in such a hurry is clearly sending him to death.

"Third Highness, he brought... seven thousand soldiers and horses!" The servant said anxiously.

"Where did he get seven thousand soldiers?!"

"It seems to be...the private soldiers of the King of Han..."

Emperor Xihe took two steps back subconsciously, and shouted loudly: "Quickly mobilize the forbidden army to encircle and suppress!"

He just lost a son who wanted to rebel. In his grief, he was considering whether the crown prince should be given to the eldest son or the youngest son. Now the youngest son suddenly led troops to the palace, which caught him by surprise. He obviously didn't even have the patience to wait.

It doesn't matter, he still has thanks, his eldest son will be back soon...

"His Majesty!"

Another servant came rushing over.

"The queen kidnapped the queen mother..."

"The Third Highness has broken through the Xuanwu Gate!"

"The Third Highness has passed the Xuanzheng Hall!"

"Shang Shuling sent a message that as long as His Majesty writes down the abdication edict, he will order His Highness the Third Highness to rest!"

From the servants to the imperial guards, the messengers rushed to report the situation almost every cup of tea.

Xi and Di hated each other very much, but it was hard to go anywhere at this time.Who knows how many people there are in this palace, they have already taken refuge in Xie Yu and the others.

"Your Majesty, let's just hide..."

"What are you hiding from? My emperor's son wants to take my life, so what do I want to hide from?"

The sound of the Empress Yuan's coughing in the Sixiang Palace kept coming, and clean water was sent into the palace, and soon some maids hurriedly brought out bloody water that was stained red.

The head servant was very anxious, and he couldn't help persuading: "Your Majesty, the third highness is here to force the palace, not to kill the king. It's better for you to hide for a while than to meet those people head-on. What's more, there are two people in Sixiang Palace. The empress is here, the Third Highness thinks she will not bother her for the sake of her biological mother and aunt..."

"Then I should stay here."

Knowing that he couldn't persuade him anymore, the head servant could only sigh, and stood behind Emperor Xihe as usual to listen to him at any time.

The news from the front still came from time to time, and it was enough to see how the third prince went on a rampage from outside the palace gate to the front of the forbidden palace.Of the 1000 soldiers and horses, only less than [-] people were lost. Everyone's morale was boosted, and they rushed forward like chopping melons and vegetables.

If it wasn't for the Queen Yuan's coughing in the Palace of Thoughts behind her, it would seem that everything was still at the beginning of the incident.

At this time, the palace of imagination was brightly lit.Across the palace gates and palaces, the light and shadow illuminated by oil and fire can still be faintly seen in the distance.

Emperor Xihe stood for a long time, and said, "Go and ask Concubine Xian to come over."

The maid didn't move, Xihe Emperor turned around: "I haven't abdicated yet, so what I said doesn't work anymore?"

"Your Majesty...that's not the case, it's just...it's just Concubine Xian...she's already..."

"How has it been?"

"It has been escorted away by the people of the Third Highness."

The moment the maid's voice fell, Xihe Emperor calmed down instantly.

He had never thought about today's situation, but now that he thinks about it carefully, he should have realized it a long time ago. The reason why he has fallen into this situation is really because he put too much attention on Xie Zhang.

Ask yourself that he treats the three sons equally, but the crown prince has always established a heir but not a concubine, and a senior but not a young.When the eldest son becomes a monk, he attaches great importance to the second son, and the second son is useless when the eldest son returns, so he attaches importance to the eldest son again, which is not wrong.But for Yao Zi, it is the biggest problem.

Behind Xie Yu's back, it is not difficult to see that in addition to the protection of Wang Youzhi and Queen Wang, there is also the assistance of Xianfei.

They are afraid that they have been planning for a long time.

Xihedi closed his eyes.

From the very beginning, Xie Yu felt like a young, ignorant, cowardly and incompetent little prince.He has even planned the future for this son, no matter whether it is Xie Chen or Xie Zhang who ascends the throne in the future, he will not treat this imperial brother badly.

But actually?

How could Xie Yu be just an ignorant little prince.What's more, even if he really doesn't have that ability, with Wang Youzhi's ability, coupled with so many years of subtle upbringing, he can still be a puppet who can be dressed up by others.

"When will Chen'er come?"

"If there are no accidents with the messenger, His Majesty will hurry back and rush back. I'm afraid it will take more than ten days."

"More than ten days." Emperor Xihe sighed, "I don't know if my forbidden army can hold it."

"You can keep it, Your Majesty. You can definitely keep it."
