Chapter 142 The Battle for Position

Ruan Lingzheng's face changed, and he lowered his eyebrows and said, "The decree was burned by his father."

"Burned? Hahaha... You can't take it out, can you? It seems that your father has not been passed on to you. It is because you want to kill your father to usurp the throne and do such a legitimate thing. How dare you dare to say here that your father has been passed on to you without any purpose, then you are guilty of plotting to usurp the throne!"

After saying that, the third prince's face darkened and waved his hand behind him. "Since you didn't get the will of your father's will, then kill the king and usurp the throne. The imperial guard will arrest the rebellious traitor!"

"You dare!" Ruan Lingzheng shouted loudly and glanced at a group of imperial guards who were about to take action and sneered, "The imperial guards are not guarding the imperial city. How dare they run to the palace to be wild. What a dare! Come on, take down this group of thieves who dare to break into the palace!" As soon as Ruan Lingzheng's words fell, countless guards suddenly poured in from all directions of Tianze Palace and surrounded the third prince and others in an instant.

"What! Unexpectedly, he has been stationed in the palace a long time ago?" The third prince stared in surprise at the people who soon surrounded them, and his eyes were quickly turned to by the leader who came out of the crowd, who was dressed in silver armor and carrying a big knife. He is already the general admiral Liu Yanfei who controls the military power of Huangtian City.

The third prince stared at him fiercely, and his eyes were about to crack. Suddenly, he looked up and laughed, "I didn't expect Lord Liu to collude with my second brother? What are you that you dare to participate in our prince? You are so bold!"

Liu Yanfei held the big knife and glanced at the second prince faintly. He was not moved by his previous words and said calmly: "The emperor has been passed on to be located in the second prince, Prince Pingxi, and ordered you to assist the emperor to ascend the throne. Here is a token to dispatch the general soldiers of the imperial city as evidence."

"Haha...haha! What does a token mean? The third prince laughed. Suddenly, he turned his eyes and stared at Ruan Lingzheng impatiently and said, "I don't want to talk nonsense with you. If you want to seize the throne, we will talk according to our strength. Royal Guards, go!"

"Hmm?" Ruan Lingzheng coldly swept away at the royal guards who wanted to take action. If you dare to act rashly, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Although there are some ministers and soldiers among those people, they are hesitant when they heard Ruan Lingzheng's words. No one dares to act rashly anymore. The third prince said angrily, "Give it all to me. When I become emperor, you will all be awarded the title of honor. As long as you kill a guard and reward ten taels of silver, if anyone can kill the king of Pingxi, I promise to seal him the same title and cut a county as a territory!"

"A prime minister, a county capital! ......”

"Kill..." Everyone's eyes lit up and looked high. Everyone shouted and rushed forward with a 'boom'. In an all of an hour, Lin Jianyu and the killing shouts were deafening.

Just as the two sides were killing hard to part, the third prince suddenly saw a large number of shocked imperial guards coming here. He was so happy that he didn't expect to shock the former guard. This time, the victory is in hand. The commander of the imperial guard and himself care a lot. As long as he gives him some benefits, he will definitely stand on his side.

More than 100 imperial guards quickly surrounded the battlefield, and the third prince quickly found the lingering wind in those people. So he shouted excitedly, " Commander Yu, the second prince and others want to usurp the throne. Please help us catch these gang of thieves together!"

Yu Feng ignored the cry of the third prince and said coldly, "I heard that the emperor has gone to maintain order in the palace. Before he died, the emperor had ordered: Which prince has the token to dispatch the imperial guard? Who is the object of my loyalty? Dare to ask the third prince if he has a token?"

"I...I..." The third prince opened his mouth. After me for a long time, he stared at Ruan Lingzheng's face in front of the palace.

"He can't take it out!" Ruan Lingzheng suddenly said. Everyone's eyes looked at him.

Ruan Lingzheng smiled, "Because my father has handed over the token to me." With that, he took out a pure gold token from his sleeve. The token was made of a dragon pattern, with auspicious clouds as the base, and a large word 'royal' engraved in the middle. The token emitted a dazzling golden light in the firelight and stung the eyes of the third prince and others.

When Yu Feng saw the token, he was sure that it was indeed the general token of the imperial guard. He bent his knees slightly and said loudly, "Seeing the token is like seeing the emperor, and the former bodyguard president leads the wind. See the emperor, long live my emperor!"

"Ah..." Many people were a little stunned when they heard Yu Feng shouting like this. With so many people on the field, it is rare to be quiet.

The third prince did not expect that things would develop like this. He did not expect that he could lead the whole palace with the general token of the former imperial leader. He knew this token, which was taken by Ruan Lingzheng from the fourth prince, the king of Nanping, two months ago. Although he also participated in the competition at that time, he finally lost. And the king of Nanping was even more miserable and died directly for this.

"Don't believe him, Commander Yu. That token was not given to him by the emperor, but..."

Ruan Lingzheng's awe-inspered eyes came, and he answered faintly, "And what is it, Your Highness the Third Prince." The tone is playful.

"Hmm! It doesn't matter what it is now, but I didn't expect this token to be so useful. Ruan Lingzheng, it seems that you have expected everything for a long time! However, I won't be willing, I won't be willing, I won't be willing!"

Ruan Lingzheng frowned and looked at the second prince who was crazy in the rain and eased his expression. "Third brother, as long as you withdraw from the army immediately, I can also read my brotherhood to you and not blame tonight."

"Hmm, joke! I have been waiting for this day for so many years. Now they have come outside the Tianze Palace, and the throne is even more at their fingertips. How can there be a reason to retreat? Isn't it too early to win or lose? The third prince frowned and said angrily. He pulled out a knife from his waist, raised it to the top of his head, and shouted, "Kill me!"

Some ministers and soldiers were afraid that Ruan Lingzheng was really the heir to the throne, and the current situation was unfavorable to the third prince. A group of people who were originally grass on the wall took advantage of the chaos and left. Most of them are close friends of the third prince, and naturally follow him to death, while others are blinded by the temptation of previous amazing rewards.

The war was imminent, and the guards who were still standing in the rain followed the third prince and rushed to the gate of Tianze Palace in an instant. However, many maidservant eunuchs who had been kneeling in front of the hall hindered the progress of the third prince.

He went forward to kick the eunuchs on the ground and kicked a slow-responsive eunuch a few feet away. As he kicked, he roared, "Bastard! Get out of here! Get out of here! Those who block me, die!"

The dull sound of landing suddenly sounded, and everyone looked at the place where the sound was made. A man on the ground did not move. There was fresh blood flowing from his head. In an instant, the rain around him turned bright red. Everyone was a little stunned when they looked at the corpse, and a timid maid was so scared that she covered her eyes and screamed: "Ah, kill someone, run away!" Hurry up..."

The "sneer" knife sank into the heart of the screaming maidservant, and blood splashed on the third prince's face, making his face look more ferocious. He roared with anger and cut down several eunuchs and maidservant beside him with a knife.

The situation was unprecedentedly chaotic, and the screams of slashing were mixed. Yunlan hid among many maidservants and quickly ran to the Tianze Palace closest to them. At this time, everyone could no longer take care of anything. All they knew was that the third prince was crazy, running for his life!

Yunlan entered the hall and saw that other maidservant was still running to the inner room in a panic, but she did not lose her mind at this moment and did not run in with them, because she knew that the body of the emperor was in the inner room. If they run in rashly, even if the third prince can't kill them, and they have witnessed this crazy battle for the throne today, they will not be able to live. They will be detained for the crime of infringing on the remains of the former emperor and losing their heads.

Yunlan turned around, ran quickly to the door of the hall, hid behind the door and quietly looked out of the hall to check the situation outside the hall.

The situation outside the hall is very tense. The third prince and the second prince have become friends, and the people on both sides are fighting desperately.

The third prince held a cool moon knife in his hand and approached Ruan Lingzheng with a cold knife. The latter had to retreat step by step because he didn't have time to take weapons. How could the third prince miss this good opportunity and approach unrelentlessly. Ruan Lingzheng had no choice but to retreat into the hall. As soon as he entered the temple, he withdrew from the shadow of the entrance, almost back to back to back with Yunlan, who was hiding behind.

Yunlan found someone behind him and turned to look. At this time, Ruan Lingzheng also found Yunlan.

"Why are you hiding here?" Ruan Lingzheng stared at Yunlan in a cold tone. And Yunlan also saw a faint murder in his eyes at the same time.

Yunlan was waiting to answer when she suddenly found that the door of the hall was pierced by a knife, and the tip of the knife was facing Ruan Lingzheng. Ah! Your Highness, be careful..." Yunlan's heart beat faster and pushed Ruan Lingzheng away, and the knife just cut on the back of her neck.

"Ah" Yunlan screamed and fell to the ground in an instant and didn't wake up.

When she woke up again, she knew that a day had passed. That night, the war was already over. The third prince was escorted to Taiguo Temple, and all his subordinates and rebel ministers were killed. And those eunuchs who rushed into the former emperor's dormitory all killed their heads and left her alone.

Some people said that she was lucky, and only she knew that it was because she saved the second prince's life, so he gave extra grace.

From that day, the whole palace was guarded by layers of imperial guards, while Liu Yanfei sent heavy troops to station at the gate of Huangtian City. Those princes who got news and rushed back from various fiefs were blocked from entering. The second prince kept filial piety for the former emperor for three days, and the death of the former emperor is forbidden to spread.

Three days later, the second prince summoned the ministers into the palace, and it was rumored that the enthronage ceremony would be held five days later. In fact, he ascended the throne as emperor at the end of his filial piety for the emperor, but many princes outside the gate and the common people of Ruan Nanguo did not know that their monarch had been replaced.

Yunlan didn't know until the day Ruan Lingzheng ascended the throne that the Lord and his people were also blocked outside the city, but now the boat has become a boat, and everything is too late.

"Oh! Mother, why are you wet all over? A late autumn exclamation pulled Yunlan, who was in memory, back to reality.
