Chapter 102 Prince's Conspiracy
At a good time, the sky is clear, and the palace is full of joy.
The emperor decided to go back to the palace first because of the dragon's body. Shen Muchen knew that his father did not like the bustle, so he put down the entertainment in his hand and sent it to the emperor.
Before stepping out of the hall, there was a sound of sword fighting outside.
Everyone was shocked and looked different. How could there be the sound of swords?
During the speculation, he panicked and reported: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good. There are assassins!"
A shower of arrows fell, and the bodyguard outside fell to the ground.
The emperor's eyebrows arched, but his face was still calm, and then a majestic voice sounded: "Who dares to go to the palace of Cheng?"
Mo Qingcheng sneered, not your eldest son!
"It's me!" With a domineering voice, Shen Muqi walked into the hall step by step in a goose-yellow gold-rimmed robe and a long sword. His eyes flashed with bloodthirsty chill, and his face was cold. As he approached, the hall was filled with a strong smell of blood. He quietly swept the hall and finally focused on Shen Muchen and the emperor beside him.
An Xian's mind rang, and she only felt cold all over. Her white and elegant face suddenly tightened, and her eyes showed an incredible look. She couldn't help holding Mo Qingcheng's hand beside her.
The ministers were shocked and frightened. They didn't know whether they were afraid or surprised. In their impression, Shen Muqi is brave and resourceless. Although he is not the first choice for the crown prince, he is just around the corner to ascend to the throne. He will never plot a rebellion. Unexpectedly, he will do such a rebellious stupid thing today!
The emperor's face was full of anger, and his eyes were cold in an instant. He stepped forward and said angrily, "You evil son, do you want to lead troops into the palace to death your father?"
"Father, I didn't want to kill you. I just want you to abdicate and let the sage, enjoy your old age early, and give up the throne to my son!" Shen Muqi smiled cruelly and said, "It's the same for all of you present. As long as you are obedient, I won't touch your hair. If someone intends to be wrong, don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword!"
Everyone was so scared that they tightened their bodies and kept retreating. Now I'm afraid that the whole royal palace has been surrounded by Shen Muqi. Unless they want to die, who dares to challenge him!
The emperor took charge of the world and planned his strategy. Unexpectedly, he was threatened by his son today. His hands suddenly tightened, and blue veins burst out on the back of his hand. Obviously, he suppressed great anger. "You unfilial son, I'm still fine. You actually want to rebel!" He always thought that although Shen Muqi was stubborn and had little foresight, his mind was the simplest. As long as someone assisted him, he could also be a good emperor in time. He didn't expect that he was so scheming that he had secretly cultivated so many forces and drove himself to the throne!
"My son is not unfilial, but loves his father. My father is old and should not work hard, or his son governs on his behalf!" Shen Muqi's eyes were indifferent and did not pay attention to the emperor at all. At present, he has mastered 3,000 elite guards. Unless his father-in-law An Hong can kill a gun, no one can do anything about him!
The emperor's teeth almost broke, his pale face suddenly twitched with anger, and his whole body trembled with anger. He reached out and was about to slap Shen Muqi. Unexpectedly, Shen Muqi held his hand with his backhand and said coldly, "Father, I know that you will carry the jade seal with you wherever you go. In order to avoid unnecessary slaughter, you are still good. Hand over the jade seal!"
The reason why Shen Muqi did not force the palace is that he saw the gap in today's wedding. On the one hand, his father would not follow too many bodyguards, and on the other hand, civil and military officials were present.
After solving the guards of the royal palace, the imperial guard outside the door rushed in and surrounded Shen Muqi. The dense imperial guard occupied the whole hall, all holding long swords, stained with blood and fierce momentum. They all looked forward to the eldest prince taking the throne and becoming the founder of the country.
"Brother, don't mess with me!" Shen Mushu took a step forward and roared at Shen Muqi.
"Third brother, it's your business, don't interfere!" Shen Muqi's indifferent voice is a little sharp. His target today is Shen Muchen and Yuxi. He doesn't want to hurt people unless he has to.
"Brother, the throne will be yours sooner or later. Why are you in a hurry to force your father to abdicate?" Shen Muchen's voice was faint, with anger and shock.
Shen Muqi hooked the corners of his lips, and his whole body exuded a cold and murderous spirit. "Hut up, if my father hadn't been thinking about you and wanted you to inherit the unification, why would I have taken so much trouble to do this!"
"Qi'er, why did you say this? Is it just because I have abolished your position as prince?" The emperor looked at Shen Muqi coldly. Although he had always admired Chen'er, he never thought of letting Chen'er succeed to the throne. The last time he was abandoned prince, he just wanted to give him a warning to restrain his mind.
"Father, don't think that I didn't know that you were going to make your second brother prince today!" Shen Muqi's eyes were awe-in, "I know you have never been optimistic about me. When I sit on the throne, I will show you my son's ability. I will definitely not be worse than my second brother!"
Mo Qingcheng looked coldly. It turned out that Shen Muqi was not only narcissistic but also inferior. He was really a freak!
"Qi Er, I didn't expect you to be so persistent!" The emperor was completely disappointed by his words. Qi'er was impetuous and eager for quick success. He didn't see things comprehensively and didn't realize his good intentions for him at all. Now it's not enough to be emperor. He will never hand over the jade seal.
"Brother, you misunderstood. Your father was going to announce the restoration of your throne today!" Shen Muchen looked at Shen Muqi coldly, his eyes touched the guards all over the house, and his eyebrows frowned slightly. If the royal brother really started to kill, the royal palace would be bleeding.
"Nonsense, do you think I will believe you!" Shen Muqi said so, but his revering eyes looked at the emperor.
The emperor closed his eyes heavily, shook his head, and sighed slightly, indicating his acquiescence.
Mo Qingcheng frowned slightly and looked at the emperor's meaning. Obviously, what Shen Muchen said was right, but why did Shen Mushu say that the emperor would make Shen Muchen the crown prince today? Did someone deliberately let out these words so that Shen Muqi could do it? She looked up at He Liancheng and saw that he also frowned. Obviously, she didn't expect this to happen.
Shen Muqi was stunned. Did his father really want to restore his status as a prince, instead of establishing his second brother as a prince? After seeing the disappointment in his father's eyes, he knew that there was no way out, so he put the sword on Shen Muchen's neck and said coldly, "Father, hand over the jade seal, or the minister will kill the second brother!" He is gambling to see if his father cares about the throne or his second brother.
The emperor looked at Shen Muqi and Shen Muchen helplessly. If he didn't hand over the jade seal, Qi'er would harm his siblings and steal the jade seal. Instead of letting Chen'er sacrifice in vain, it would be better to hand over the jade seal earlier. Thinking of this, he painfully took out a small bright yellow brocade box from his sleeves, gently stroked it, and handed it over with trembling hands.
Shen Muqi quickly turned out the box, which was sad and happy. What was sad was that the second brother was more important than the throne in his father's heart. What was that the jade seal finally came into his hands.
The people present were stunned, but they didn't expect a coup to happen so suddenly. Shen Muchen looked outside through the sea of people, with an imperceptible smile on his mouth.
" Stop it!" A gloomy voice seemed to ignore the barrier of distance and clearly entered everyone's ears. Shen Muqi turned his head and followed the sound. He saw a man in armor coming in awe-inspiringly. His dark eyes sparkled with bright stars, his long black hair was neatly combed back, and his facial features were as clear as carving. His red The cloak rises with the wind and comes like a heavenly soldier.
Shen Muqi was shocked, and his sharp eyes fell directly on the man outside, and the corners of his mouth sank slightly. "Hong Xi, why is it you?" How did he forget that there was not only An Hong, a rising star, but also Hong Xi, a rising man in the court, but he was not defending against foreign enemies in Bian City. Why did he suddenly return to Beijing?
Hong Xi is Hong Taifu's eldest son, Hong Jin's brother, Shen Muchen's cousin and brother-in-law. In recent years, he has been resisting the Xiongnu. With him, he has not dared to invade the Xiongnu. At a young age, he was awarded the emperor as "General Huwei" and was known as the "South Gate" of Luo Yu Kingdom by the people.
Hong Xi ignored Shen Muqi, but leaned down to the emperor and saluted, "The sinner came late to save him. I hope the emperor will forgive me!"
The emperor's face is still dignified, and he can't see a trace of joy. His son made a mistake, but in the end he was reduced to others to clean up. Isn't it a great irony?
"Brother, the imperial army has come. Tell your people to put down their weapons and admit their mistakes to their father!" Shen Muchen's eyes flashed coldly, but his voice was sad.
Shen Muqi looked outside the courtyard. I don't know when the 3,000 elite soldiers outside had been wiped out, leaving only hundreds of people in the house. Originally, Shen Muqi had trained 3,000 elite soldiers and mastered 50,000 imperial guards. He thought that this conspiracy was foolproof, so he only selected 3,000 elite soldiers, but he didn't expect to kill Hong Xi, the king of the way!
As soon as he gritted his teeth, his eyes gave a tragic look. He knew that since he had chosen the road of conspiracy, there was no chance to turn back, and now he could only gamble. Before everyone could react, Shen Muqi pulled the emperor, retreated aside, and put the sword straight against the man's neck. "Father, I'm offended!"
Everyone sweated and dared not look directly at the tragic scene.
"Hongxi, order your people to retreat!" Shen Muqi's frightening and tragic smile was reflected on the bright sword, which made people dare not look directly at it.
Hong Xi obviously did not expect Shen Muqi to do this, and his originally domineering face showed a touch of gloom at this moment.
He Liancheng's sleeve was tight, and he was about to shoot a silver needle. Mo Qingcheng noticed it and quickly pressed it. At such a close distance, according to Shen Muchen's skills, it was not a problem to subdue Shen Muqi, but he did not take action! Presumably, he also saw that now the emperor is still protecting Shen Muqi. If he takes action rashly, it will be self-defeating and cause the emperor's hatred.
Let's wait and see if it gets better! Mo Qingcheng snorted coldly, took He Liancheng's hand and motioned him to leave it alone.
