Chapter 564: One emperor through the ages
Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.
East Palace.
"His Royal Highness, you can go." The counselor urged.
Li Yuanqing was very nervous, "Are you all ready?"
"Ready." The confidant whispered.
Li Yuanqing took a deep breath, "Okay, let's go."
He decided to ambush and kill Li Yaoche at Xuanhuamen today.
Although he had expected the day when brothers would fight each other, Li Yuanqing still panicked when the day came when he would see blood.
"Ambush all the soldiers?" Li Yuanqing confirmed again in a low voice.
"It's all in ambush." The confidant was also very nervous, and said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness, don't worry, we have bribed all the gatekeepers of Xuanhuamen. As long as King Jin arrives at Xuanhuamen, it will be difficult to fly!"
This is true, Xuanhuamen is the only way for the royal family to enter the palace, as long as you master the gate guards here, it is easy to do something.
Li Yuanqing took another deep breath. This time, he was not only nervous, but also a strong joy that his long-awaited dream was about to come true.
He wanted so much to be emperor.
But in recent years, Li Yaoche's power has become more and more powerful, and the voice of changing the crown prince among the ministers is getting louder and louder. The East Palace is in danger, and he must act first.
Today, he ambushed Li Yaoche here to solve this hidden danger, and no one dared to question his status as the crown prince anymore.
Some counselors expressed doubts: "Although King Jin is not as favored by His Majesty as you are, but a prince was killed by such a blatant ambush, His Majesty's test cannot be justified."
Li Yuanqing was shaken.
Another counselor said: "It's so stupid! Since King Jin has been killed, what worries does His Royal Highness have? Does His Majesty still dare to be dissatisfied with His Royal Highness?"
All the counselors in the East Palace suddenly realized, yes! If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince killed His Royal Highness King Jin, it would be a problem to easily kill the Emperor with the strength in his hands at this time. Are you afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will do something unfavorable?
As the sun rose slowly in the early morning, the counselors of the Eastern Palace headed towards Xuanhuamen with great expectations, happily sketching out a bright future in their minds—the King Jin was ambushed by them, and then they used this to threaten the old emperor to abdicate and embrace Establish the prince as the new emperor.
The more I thought about it, the happier I became, my whole body felt light and light, as if I was about to fly.
When they arrived at Xuanhua Gate, Li Yuanqing was also very excited, and was about to hide on both sides, when a group of defenders at the city gate suddenly shot arrows at them.
Arrows are like locusts.
Everyone in the East Palace turned on their backs.
"what happened?!"
Li Yuanqing's face changed drastically.
The counselor complained endlessly, is His Highness the Crown Prince stupid? ! It's already at this time, haven't you seen that this group of defenders has long been instigated by King Jin? !
They wanted to ambush the King of Jin at Xuanhuamen, but they decided to ambush the Prince at Xuanhuamen instead!
The battle was fought without difficulty.
Most of the army masters in Donggong had never been on the battlefield, and their fighting ability and ferocity were far inferior to Li Yaoche's regular army.
In the fight between the two sides, the East Palace side was quickly defeated, and Li Yuanqing was also beheaded.
Of course, beheading such a thing would never be done by His Royal Highness Li Yaoche.
At this moment, he looked at his elder brother's head, his eyes were red, and he seemed to be about to cry at any time.
General Zhang patted King Jin on the shoulder, and said in deep pain: "Your Highness! The crown prince has repeatedly harmed you, and death is not a pity! People are killed by the last general. Even if His Highness scolds you, the last general will never regret it!"
