Quick wear is not a cannon fodder

Chapter 2388 Substitute Marriage 48

At that moment, the emperor saw that King Qi kept silent about who he supported, so he had no choice but to let him go, and then continued to think about who should be crowned prince.

No one can ask, what else can you do except think about it yourself?

Just thinking about it, it is not a good idea to hand over the throne to Su Xinran's son or the second prince. As for the younger ones, they are neither the eldest son nor the legitimate son, so he has no reason to stand. So for a moment, I had a headache thinking about it, and I didn't know who to choose.

Probably because of overthinking, the emperor's condition was getting worse day by day, and the atmosphere in the capital was becoming more and more tense.

Finally, the forced uterus happened.

Day and night, Concubine Lan's son, the eldest prince, who had been excluded from the possibility of succeeding to the throne, led his troops to force the palace.

This is also normal.

Before Concubine Lan's accident, the eldest prince was a popular candidate because he was older than the second prince. If he did not establish a direct heir or a eldest son, he would naturally be more likely to succeed.

Furthermore, the eldest prince is slightly more reliable than the second prince in terms of ability. This is also related to the fact that he was born the earliest and the emperor had just conquered the country. He followed him around and was more knowledgeable than his later brothers. many.

If ordinary people are not good at it, they can make up for it with rich experience. The eldest prince is like this. Although his ability may not be much different from that of other brothers, he has lived among the people for many years and has some understanding of the people, so he is familiar with many things. His opinion seems to be much more reliable than that of other brothers.

In fact, it was precisely because the eldest prince's ability seemed to be better than that of the other brothers that Concubine Lan took action against Concubine Su and other concubines to prevent them from having children, because her son was the most popular candidate and she could not let others give birth to children. , when she grows up, she may lose the limelight with her children, and she wants to maintain this situation.

Although he failed in the end and was exposed by An Ran and Mr. Su, at the beginning, the eldest prince was indeed one of the most popular candidates.

——It is precisely because of this that Mr. Su was chosen as the target of exposure in the first place, because in doing so, he could not only deal with the concubine Su, but also deal with the most popular candidate for the crown prince in one fell swoop.

They succeeded, and the eldest prince lost the qualification to compete for Dabao because he was implicated by Concubine Lan.

And this has become the reason why the eldest prince will lead people to force the palace at this moment.

Although he has lost the qualification to compete for Dabao, how can the eldest prince be willing to do so? Even if he is willing, the people who have bet on him before are not willing to do so.

So seeing that the emperor was seriously ill, but he was always in a dilemma, not knowing who to appoint as the crown prince, the eldest prince, together with those who supported him, launched a palace coup and prepared to kill everyone who should be killed. Of course, the emperor could not kill, After all, a man who kills his father cannot rise to power, but he can be put under house arrest when the time comes, just like the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

He is not worried that if he does this, there will be any bad evaluation in history. History books are written by the victors, just like Li Shimin. Even though he did such things, he is still a wise king through the ages. As long as he governs the world well in the future, can also get the same evaluation.

However...he obviously overestimated his abilities.

He doesn't even have the abilities of his father, and he still compares himself to Li Shimin. He obviously has no self-awareness.

And for people without self-awareness, the results of their actions are almost doomed.

For this palace change, the eldest prince used all his forces, including people from the capital camp and the imperial army. The momentum was indeed huge at the beginning, and it was overwhelming all the way.

There was no way they could do it, their operation was quite secretive, and they managed to avoid even a trace of news coming out, so that everyone inside and outside the palace was caught off guard by their appearance.

When the eldest prince entered the palace, they arrested all the princes and killed them all, as they had initially imagined.

After all, as long as one is left, there will be future troubles. Kill all of them. Even if the troubles are gone, the emperor will be unhappy and blame himself. Seeing that he only has one son, he can only accept his fate.

He had considered all the details and thought them perfectly, except for his father's nature.

Logically speaking, after hearing that he had killed all his brothers, the emperor should indeed accept his fate.

However, the emperor had been so strong all his life that he even destroyed the previous dynasty and even killed the previous emperor. Now he is asked to bow his head, endure everything the eldest prince has done, and agree to be placed under house arrest by him. How is this possible? ! He's mad, okay? When he heard that all his sons had been killed by the eldest prince, he was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot and was dying. The eunuchs and maids serving him were so frightened that they almost thought he had died.

It's not surprising that he had such a reaction. He was afraid that if Su Xinran's son was made emperor, Su Xinran's cold-blooded character would attack his other sons, so he had been hesitant.

He wants to take care of other sons so much. Obviously in his heart, he still loves all his sons, otherwise he wouldn't think much about it at all.

As a result, he was so afraid that Su Xinran would kill his other sons. Before Su Xinran took action, his eldest son took action and killed all his sons. It would be strange if he almost died of anger.

But the emperor was not dead. He held on for a breath and asked the secret guard to take out the tiger talisman that had been dusted for many years and asked him to hand it over to King Qi and ask him to come to King Qin.

This tiger talisman was given to the King of Qi when his great cause was not completed. All his old subordinates knew that once this tiger talisman was released, it meant that if something big happened, the King of Qi could exercise military power on his behalf.

This was also the time when he was afraid that something would happen to him, so his only brother was his escape route.

However, he was the right one. He fought all the way back then and although he was injured at times, he did not use this tiger talisman and successfully won the world.

He also didn't expect that one day he would use this tiger talisman.

At this time, King Qi was watching the sky-high flames and the deafening sound of fighting in the direction of the palace, and he had not slept all night.

He was hesitating whether to go over and take a look, but he was afraid that the emperor's brother would be jealous of him.

Later, I thought that no matter who became the emperor, he would not dare to kill his father, so he relaxed and prepared to wait for the result.

As a result, I didn't wait for the result, but I waited for the emperor's tiger talisman.

Although the clan was not allowed to interfere in politics, the emperor gave him the tiger talisman to save him.

Taking the initiative to intervene in politics is still different in nature from the emperor asking for help and him going to save people.

When King Qi saw the appearance of the Tiger Talisman, he couldn't help but be shocked. He thought about what happened in the palace. How did his eldest brother end up asking for help?

At that moment, King Qi asked the secret guards about the situation in the palace.

Because he was afraid that the emperor would be jealous, King Qi did not place many informants in the palace, so as not to do so. Once the emperor found out, he would definitely be jealous, so naturally he didn't know much about the situation in the palace at this time.

The secret guard explained the general situation, and then said: "My lord, please don't delay. If the eldest prince succeeds, takes control of the palace, and captures your majesty, it will be too late!"
