Chapter 2029: One Country, Three Emperors
Not having the courage to commit suicide, and unable to resist, the Crown Princess finally moved to the desolate Beiyuan Palace full of hatred.
As for her hatred, the Fourth Prince and Concubine Mei certainly don't care!
General Sun left behind quite a few people. There were several fires tonight, someone was assassinated tomorrow, and someone was attacked the day after tomorrow. The Fourth Prince was angry and hateful, and his men were also exhausted.
In the palace, Empress Qi kept causing trouble for Concubine Mei.
Empress Qi was the head of the imperial palace after all. Since the late emperor had not deposed her, she was the legitimate empress. No matter which prince succeeded to the throne, she would be the empress dowager.
No prince could bear the accusation of being unfilial.
Especially now that the Fourth Prince has occupied the capital, he did not get the position legitimately, but gained it by fighting with his other brothers.
You can ignore everything when you are robbing, but you have to consider your reputation and dignity when cleaning up the mess.
Otherwise, he, the emperor, will have no dignity.
Empress Qi, mother and son absolutely dare not touch each other now.
Not only did they not dare to move, they also had to take good care of her and make sure Empress Qi lived well. Absolutely nothing could happen to her.
Otherwise, the Fourth Prince would not be able to explain himself.
Empress Qi also saw through this point, and she was not polite at all when she was fighting openly and secretly with Concubine Mei!
Imperial Concubine Mei was so angry that her teeth were itching. She was furious many times behind Empress Qi's back, but she didn't dare to do anything to Empress Qi.
Imperial Concubine Mei and the Fourth Prince, mother and son, were equally exhausted inside and outside the palace.
By the time the Fourth Prince had finally managed to stabilize the situation a little, more than half a month had passed.
The Fourth Prince ordered the Imperial Observatory to select a date, and it had to be the nearest. He would first succeed to the throne and decide on a reign title, then set up a mourning hall and order all civil and military officials and clan ladies to enter the palace to mourn.
After the late emperor is buried, the succession ceremony will be held. This succession ceremony must be held in a lively and festive manner, in order to bring good luck and drive away the bad luck that has been accumulating during this period...
The Fourth Prince is full of confidence and energy. He is the winner and the only master of this world.
No one can compete with him anymore!
He was extremely glad that he made a prompt decision at that time.
Fortune and wealth have always been sought through risk.
If he had not taken the initiative to kill the prince, he would not have achieved everything he has today!
However, what the Fourth Prince never expected was that while he was busy putting out fires and dealing with the aftermath in the capital, the Second Prince, Concubine Sun De and his entourage had already arrived in Xiangyang City, Hubei County, under the escort of General Sun.
Moreover, the Second Prince ascended the throne before him and changed the reign title. He was also accused of regicide and patricide, and a manifesto was issued to accuse him of his crimes, calling on all officials in the world to attack him and avenge the late emperor!
Following the second prince, the third prince also ascended the throne in Jinan and proclaimed himself emperor, also accusing the fourth prince of various treasonous acts.
The Fourth Prince and Imperial Concubine Mei were angry and disgusted when they heard the news!
It was as if a live fly was stuffed into my mouth!
He thought he had won the victory by occupying the capital. The second and third princes fled in panic like stray dogs and would sooner or later fall into his hands.
Unexpectedly, they came up with such a trick.
The Fourth Prince regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.
If he had known this would happen, he should have driven them out and ascended the throne as emperor immediately!
How could he know they would be so shameless!
The Fourth Prince didn't care about whether it was an auspicious day or not and immediately proclaimed himself emperor!
