Chapter 406 The Emperor said that anyone who lays down their weapons will not be killed

The atmosphere in front of the palace was a little weird.

"Kill him for me."

Xiao Mocheng was shouting in front, but the private soldiers behind him had the idea of ​​escaping.

The Yu family soldiers guarding the palace gate stood there motionless, quietly waiting for them to take action.

Xiao Mocheng looked at this scene, feeling extremely humiliated.

He raised his foot and kicked the soldier beside him, shouting in a disfigured voice: "Hurry up and charge!"

"As you command." The soldier ran two steps with his spear, then turned back with a look of fear on his face, "Your Highness, I dare not..."

Tang Zhongxu, who was behind, looked at Xiao Mocheng who was commanding in the front and suddenly became energetic.

Great! The Crown Prince is here.

He picked up the dagger on the ground and staggered forward, shouting, "Charge into the palace and help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince regain the throne."

The private soldiers watched this scene and whispered in the back.

"Dude, let's run away!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in front, please wait and see what happens."

"By the way, if it doesn't work, let's just fall to the ground and pretend to be dead."

.......

Xiao Mocheng looked at the cowardly soldier and immediately became furious.

He turned to the soldiers and shouted, "It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but only a moment to deploy it. Charge at me!"

"Your Highness, but I, we are no match for them!" said a private soldier behind weakly.

Xiao Mocheng pointed his sword at the private soldier and shouted angrily, "Shut up right there."

"If you dare to disrupt the morale of the army again, I will kill you."

He said to the captains he respected, "Reclaim the throne and reward according to merit."

Upon hearing this, the team leaders looked at each other.

Although the condition of rewarding according to merit is very tempting, the Yu family army is also very scary.

what to do?

Should I give it a try, or... run away.

Xiao Mocheng almost vomited blood in anger when he looked at these cowardly soldiers he had raised.

I had planned everything, but I didn't expect the problem to arise here.

He placed his sword on the neck of the soldier beside him and shouted angrily, "Hurry and charge into the palace for me."

The soldier looked at the sword on his neck and trembled with fear.

We’re all going to die anyway, so just close your eyes and charge ahead!

The soldier closed his eyes, raised his spear and rushed forward...

Xiao Mocheng snorted coldly and cursed in his heart: If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished.

He raised his sword and shouted, "Kill them for me..."

Seeing this, the others followed with spears raised in their hands.

Seeing the private soldiers rushing forward, Yu Beichen said lightly, "The emperor said that anyone who lays down their weapons will not be killed."

As soon as the words fell, there was a "clang, clang" sound...

Seeing this, Tang Zhongxu knew that the situation was not good.

Oh, this is the end of the rhythm!

Let’s run!

Thinking of this, he quietly stepped back...

The private soldiers around him seemed to see his intention and directly blocked Tang Zhongxu's way.

"Master Tang, do you want to run away?"

"I won't run!" Tang Zhongxu looked guilty.

Oh no, they found out.

A private soldier took a look at the situation ahead and said in a cold voice, "Master Tang, it was you who allowed the brothers to enter the capital."

"Don't try to escape without us."

"Yes, we die together." The surrounding soldiers suddenly burst into emotions.

Tang Zhongxu looked at the soldiers who wanted to kill him and knew that he could not escape today.

"Everyone, I won't run, I won't run, haha!"

"Keep an eye on him."

The private soldiers surrounded Tang Zhongxu, cursing at him.

Yu Beichen glanced at Xiao Mocheng who was frozen in place, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Are you dumbfounded?

Your soldiers are useless.

Xiao Mocheng looked at the private soldiers who had put down their weapons and shouted angrily, "What's wrong with you?"

"Your Highness, we slipped." The private soldiers argued weakly.

"Hurry up and pick up your weapons, hurry up..." Xiao Mocheng wiped the sweat from his forehead.

At the critical moment, Commander Yu actually disrupted the morale of the army.

That’s too bad.

Xiao Shunzi, who was standing at the palace gate, looked at the scene in front of him and knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Your Highness, I beg you, let's go back to the East Palace!"

Do you really want to die?

Even if these soldiers fought hard, they would not be a match for the enemy.

Xiao Mocheng looked at the magnificent palace in front of him and felt more and more unwilling.

He is the crown prince, the heir to the throne.

He dreams of ascending the throne that belongs to him...

But because of Xiao Chengjin, everything changed.

Xiao Mocheng's eyes were red.

He threw away the sword in his hand, snatched the spear from the soldier beside him and rushed forward.

Seeing this, Yu Beichen drew his sword and pointed it at Xiao Mocheng.

Xiao Shunzi looked at Xiao Mocheng who had lost his mind, and quickly stood up and rushed over...

Your Highness, the situation is hopeless, please wake up!

I hope that my worthless life can make you accept this reality.

Everything happened so fast that Xiao Mocheng, who was holding a spear, didn't even see Xiao Shunzi rushing towards him.

The spear pierced Xiao Shunzi's chest, and he gritted his teeth and groaned.

Xiao Mocheng looked at the bloodstains in front of him, and his gaze slowly moved to Xiao Shunzi's face...

"Xiao, Xiao Shunzi, why are you...?"

Blood flowed from Xiao Shunzi's mouth. He said weakly, "Your Highness, I beg you not to cling to the throne anymore."

"Think about the Crown Princess, think about the little princess..."

"The new emperor is a good person. He will be a good emperor."

Xiao Shunzi used all his strength to pull out the spear from his chest and fell to the ground, "Your Highness, live well, live on..."

Looking at this scene, Yu Beichen couldn't help but feel a little emotional: What a good servant.

Xiao Mocheng looked at Xiao Shunzi who had died of suffocation, and scenes from the past flashed through his mind.

He dropped the spear in his hand and rushed to Xiao Shunzi, "Xiao Shunzi, you, don't die!"

"I will not fight for the throne anymore, I will not fight anymore..."

The private soldiers behind watched this scene and also admired Xiao Shunzi.

Everyone looked at the master and servant on the ground.

.......

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Mocheng said without any emotion, "Come here, carry Xiao Shunzi back to the East Palace."

"The rest of you... please disperse!"

When the private soldiers heard the word "disperse", they looked at each other and dropped their weapons.

The two team leaders in front quickly came to Xiao Mocheng.

"Your Highness, I will carry Eunuch Shun back..."

"good."

Just like that, Xiao Mocheng returned to the East Palace in a daze.

Yu Beichen looked at the bewildered private soldiers and said loudly, "The emperor has instructed that as long as you all lay down your weapons, he will spare your lives."

"From now on, you are no longer the private soldiers of the deposed crown prince."

"After you leave, you are not allowed to commit crimes, understand?"

"We understand!" a group of private soldiers shouted loudly.

Yu Beichen waved his hand, "Let's all go!"

After hearing this, Tang Zhongxu turned around with a look of smug delight on his face...

If you fail, you fail. Just keep your life.

Just as he was about to slip away in the chaos, a voice came from behind: "Tang Zhongxu, if you dare to take another step forward, this commander will break your other leg."

When Tang Zhongxu heard this, he shuddered.

He stopped and froze in place.

The private soldiers left quickly, leaving him alone standing there stupidly.

Yu Beichen looked at the weapons on the ground and waved to his subordinates, "Put these weapons away."

"Yes, Commander Yu."

Yu Beichen walked slowly to Tang Zhongxu and said, "Tang Zhongxu, your legs are broken, yet you are still so restless."

"Will he become obedient after his other leg is broken?"

Tang Zhongxu bowed to Yu Beichen and said, "Yu, Commander Yu, I was wrong."

"I will never do such stupid things again."

At this moment, Tang Zhongxu felt that he could no longer stay in the capital.

"Commander Yu, don't worry. When I return, I will take my whole family away from the capital."

"From now on, I will never appear in the capital again."

Yu Beichen raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"Remember what you said. If you dare to appear in the capital again... you will be beheaded on the spot."

Tang Zhongxu's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

"Don't worry, Commander Yu, I will never set foot in the capital."

"Get out!" Yu Beichen snorted coldly.

"Okay, okay, I'll get out of here now." After Tang Zhongxu said this, he dragged his broken leg away.

Zehua Palace.

The ministers and their families sat at the table, looking at the festive hall, somewhat puzzled...

Is this a wedding banquet?

An adult next to the Minister of Rites reached out and tugged at his sleeve.

"Master Wu, is this a wedding banquet?"

Lord Wu chuckled, "Look at the way you ask. Of course, a big day is a wedding banquet."

The unmarried women present have not yet come to terms with the abolition of the harem.

They looked at the festive hall with depressed expressions.

Ye Wanshu suddenly thought that Xiao Chengjin and Jiang Ruo had been married for so long and still had no children...

So, she whispered to Madam Ye with a look of smug joy: "Mother, the Emperor and the Empress have been married for so long, but the Empress has not given birth to a child for the Emperor..."

"You say, could it be the Queen..." Can't give birth!

"Shu'er, please speak a little more quietly." Mrs. Ye also looked secretly delighted.

Haha, that's great, her Shu'er still has a chance...

At this moment, the voice of Chief Steward Lin came from outside the palace: "The Emperor and the Empress have arrived."
