Chapter 1028: 1029 Chaos in the Imperial Capital
Chapter 1028 Chapter 1029 Chaos in the Imperial Capital
"I understand, I understand, brother... But today... you have to die!" At this point, the shopkeeper pulled out his pistol and shot the warehouse manager.
The bullet hit the opponent's chest. The opponent subconsciously looked down at the hole where blood was spurting out, and the cigarette held between his fingers fell to the ground.
“For the fifth prince!” the shop owner shouted, and everyone around him took out his pistols and killed the few colleagues who were not part of the group.
Amidst the gunfire, these people opened the door of the weapons depot in the patrol room and took out more ammunition, pistols and bolt-action rifles.
After learning that Zhao Kai was seriously ill and was ignoring government affairs, the fifth prince could not hold back his throbbing heart: he was afraid that Zhao Ji would be summoned back to the imperial capital when Zhao Kai was about to die soon.
Now, he must take advantage of this perfect opportunity when Zhao Ji is not in the imperial capital to fight for a future for himself! An extremely wonderful future called the Emperor!
Suddenly, many police officers in the patrol room took action. They were all members of the fifth prince. This action was to control the imperial capital and support the fifth prince's ascension to the throne.
On the other side, some private armies of nobles and some guards belonging to the yamen also began to gather and mobilize, under the banner of quelling the chaos, and supported the sixth prince as the new emperor of the empire.
The sound of gunfire continued to echo in the streets and alleys, and soon the news was sent to the palace. After hearing the news, Zhao Kai, who was lying on the hospital bed, immediately issued an order to counter the rebellion.
To be honest, Zhao Kai was not too surprised. He had known for a long time that his two useless sons formed a gang to gather strength and secretly prepared to cause trouble. So he was well prepared and immediately ordered his confidant Li Mingshun to start taking action.
Li Mingshun is indeed Zhao Kai's confidant and a general who has been in charge of military power in the imperial capital. He immediately started taking action after receiving Zhao Kai's order.
He first controlled the two airports in the north and south outside the city, and then asked the imperial guards stationed outside the city to enter the town to suppress the two groups of rebels who were fighting each other.
Because the Imperial Guards had armored vehicles and heavy firepower, after a day and night of fierce fighting, Li Mingshun quickly drove both groups of rebels into corners and could be wiped out at any time.
The fifth prince was actually panicking at this time. He was afraid that he would be executed, so while ordering the patrols who supported him to set up a defense line, he had already begun to consider breaking out and escaping.
The sixth prince was not much better at this time. He was crying and making trouble in the temporary headquarters, shouting that he was going to die, which made the nobles who supported him so angry that they wanted to shoot him first.
Originally, everything was still under Zhao Kai's control at this time, but a sudden news disrupted all Zhao Kai's arrangements: Zhao Jie actually led his troops back to the imperial capital!
As the imperial general and the actual controller of the million-strong army on the southern front, Zhao Jie led the most elite 2,000 guards on a train back to the outside of the imperial capital.
These two thousand guards were brave warriors. As soon as they arrived outside the city, they captured an airport, quickly captured the southern gate of the imperial capital, and entered the city.
The situation immediately became strange: because Zhao Jie only brought the advance troops, and there was a steady stream of support behind him, Li Mingshun couldn't figure out Zhao Jie's details for a while, so he did not dare to rashly launch a counterattack against Zhao Jie.
After all, Zhao Jie's banner was "Qing Jun Side", and he was calling to come back to help Emperor Zhao Kai quell the rebellion. There was indeed a rebellion in the city before he came, so many troops could not distinguish the situation at all, and were easily coerced into Zhao Jie's army.
Li Mingshun, who didn't dare to fight, immediately returned to the palace and told Zhao Kai about Zhao Jie's sudden return to the imperial capital. He just wanted to ask Zhao Kai whether he should kill Zhao Jie together.
"Your Majesty! Zhao Jie is the prince of the clan after all. If I don't have an imperial edict, I dare not make the decision without authorization. Please give your Majesty's order..." Li Mingshun saw that Zhao Kai's face was pale and he didn't speak for a while, so he could only ask again what he had just asked. question.
Zhao Kai sat on the bed, holding his breath and rolling in his chest, as if his blood vessels and internal organs were being torn apart.
He really didn’t expect Zhao Jie, a bastard, to return to the imperial capital. He really didn’t expect Zhao Jie to betray him at this time! He promoted Zhao Jie and Zhao Chen for the sake of the Zhao family and the royal clan.
Who would have thought that this is Zhao Jie, the Zhao Jie he trusts the most! She actually betrayed him at this time! Gave him the hardest blow!
He hates it! He is angry! Therefore, all kinds of unwillingness and pain gathered in his heart, which directly made Zhao Kai lose his mind. He has a quick temper and often gets angry. Now, his body no longer allows him to be angry and angry. So when he started to get angry, his body functions that could only barely function now collapsed instantly.
He tried hard to ask Li Mingshun to quickly quell the rebellion. But he opened his mouth but couldn't speak. After trying twice, he suddenly realized that he might never be able to speak. A moment of fear overwhelmed him, causing him to almost fall off the bed with a black eye.
The attendant next to him quickly stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Kai, and stroked Zhao Kai's back with his hand to help him calm down. Only then did Zhao Kai feel a little better, more or less able to control his body again.
He tried again to speak, but a mouthful of blood gushes out from his mouth. This mouthful of blood was so loud that it shocked Li Mingshun, who was used to seeing blood.
The floor of the entire room was spattered with blood, and even a lot of it was sprinkled on Li Mingshun's feet. When Li Mingshun raised his head to look at his emperor, Zhao Kai was already blinking in the arms of the chamberlain.
"Kill...kill...kill..." After organizing the language for a long time, Zhao Kai could only mutter this word repeatedly in a vague manner. The chamberlain could hear it clearly, but Li Mingshun could not hear it clearly.
The chamberlain quickly called Li Mingshun to come to the bed. Li Mingshun leaned over and barely heard the word "kill".
"Your Majesty, I understand! Kill Zhao Jie!" Li Mingshun was not a dull person and immediately understood what Zhao Kai meant.
Zhao Kai nodded slightly, then held it in for a long time and spit out one word: "Ji! Ji!"
Li Mingshun nodded again: "Your Majesty means that when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes back, he will inherit the throne?"
"Retreat..." No one knows whether Zhao Kai's last words were right or retreat. He just said an ambiguous note, which probably meant "right" or "retreat", and then he closed his eyes.
Forever, close your eyes.
Zhao Kai, the emperor of the Dahua Empire, was so angry at Zhao Jie's rebellion that he vomited blood and died on his bed. With his unwillingness and frustration, he withdrew from the stage of history.
"Your Majesty has passed away!" the chamberlain shouted sadly, and the waiters and Li Mingshun in the room knelt on the ground and burst into tears.
Things began to get completely out of control: Li Mingshun's army began to storm the south gate of the city, while Zhao Jie stood firm and even pulled out 300 elite troops to surprise the unsuspecting fifth prince.
As a result, the fifth prince was randomly shot to death by Zhao Jie's soldiers, and the fifth prince's patrol force was also recruited by Zhao Jie.
The sixth prince didn't know the news yet. He was frightened by Zhao Jie and Li Mingshun, and he was also afraid that the nobles who supported him would rebel. At the critical moment, he set a fire and prepared to escape from the city like a golden cicada.
It turned out that the sixth prince's ability was really bad: he set the fire well, but when he was escaping, he was bumped into by the nobles who supported him.
The other party originally wanted to take the credit for supporting Li, but he didn't expect that the person supporting Li would be Adou who couldn't help him. In anger, these nobles directly killed the sixth prince.
Surrendering to Li Mingshun is definitely not possible, and most likely he will lose his head. After careful consideration, these nobles decided that surrendering to Zhao Jie was obviously a better choice.
So they turned to Zhao Jie, which once again increased Zhao Jie's strength.
