Chapter 201 The Emperor Dies Before Dawn
The emperor arranged all his troops to guard near the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Deng Youning also did not forget to send people to remind the Han family army to enter the palace together to help guard the harem, the empress dowager, concubines, princes and princesses.
However, Deng Youning noticed that group of people, and Jun Wenci naturally couldn't leave them behind.
The man who looked like the king followed the bird all the way to the Yangxin Palace.
With these Nanxin martial artists leading the way, it was much easier for the Canglong Guards to break in. They preserved a lot of strength along the way.
When they attacked the Yangxin Palace, the emperor's private soldiers had been killed to the point where only a few were left.
The road from the palace gate to the Hall of Mental Cultivation was littered with corpses and blood flowed like a river.
The iron cavalry of the Canglong Guard made a heavy rumbling sound and rushed forward with unstoppable force. The dust they raised rolled in waves like a tide.
The emperor had a large number of private soldiers, and together with the original imperial guards, there were as many as 50,000 to 60,000 people.
But just now when they were just at the palace gate, half of them were killed or injured.
The Canglong Guards and Nanxin people fought their way in, suffering countless casualties.
An hour ago, another round of fighting took place at the gate of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity. Now, there are only a few hundred people left.
General He led the remnants of the defeated army to defend the gate of the Yangxin Palace.
It is now at the end of its strength.
It was just a last futile stand.
Deng Youning and the others were still flying high in the sky.
From their perspective, General He and others looked truly miserable.
General He, who was so powerful last night and wanted to capture her and Li Tianzhuo and imprison them in the palace, is now seriously injured.
His armor was covered in blood, there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, and his right arm was abnormally twisted.
There was a naked scar on the arm, and the white bones inside were clearly visible.
"General He, do you still want to put up a pointless resistance?"
"Today, I must kill my father who should have died long ago."
Jun Wenci held a seven-foot-long sword in his hand, and blood was still dripping from the tip of the sword.
The violent look on his face when he looked at General He made his whole face distorted.
"Jun Wenci, you and His Majesty are not only monarch and subject, but also father and son. You colluded with the enemy Nan Xin and forced the emperor to revolt."
"Today, I, He, can die, and your Majesty can die, but do you think you can really sit firmly on the throne?"
General He angrily questioned this disloyal and unfilial man.
Jun Wenci gave him a disapproving smile.
"General, please don't worry about whether I can keep my throne."
Without any hesitation, he stabbed the sword in his hand towards General He's chest.
General He looked up at the Deng family's mechanical bird and shouted, "Where are the Deng family troops? Protect the emperor!"
Deng Youning heard it, but ignored them.
The purpose of luring the prince and the prince to kill the emperor has been achieved, and Deng Youning and everyone in Qianji Villa have had enough of watching the show.
She gave Deng Yan'an a look, indicating that they could temporarily move aside.
See that the Deng family’s mechanical birds have retreated.
General He seemed to understand that he was being used.
Jun Wenci was very satisfied with the Deng family's performance.
He snorted coldly, his face showing no sign of concealing his joy, and told General He the truth as if he knew the whole story.
"Do you still count on those people from the Deng family?"
"I can tell you clearly that it is their wish to see the emperor die."
"The Han family's army has surrendered to me. Do you think the Deng family is really loyal to that tyrant?"
As soon as he finished his ferocious words, the sword in his hand was pulled out from General He's chest.
Blood gushed out of the wound. General He was unwilling to die with his eyes wide open.
Jun Wenci ordered the Canglong Guards to kill all the soldiers behind him.
The corpses outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation had almost piled up like a hill.
But in fact, the Canglong Guards did not gain any benefits.
There were originally 50,000 to 60,000 troops, but now the number of casualties is less than 20,000.
He also had many Nanxin soldiers who looked like the king.
The emperor, who was lying on the bed with his last breath yet to die, heard the noise outside and wished he could get up, pick up his sword and chop off the head of his rebellious son.
The eunuchs and palace maids around him, who were already full of resentment towards him, had already run away.
The entire Yangxin Palace was empty, with only Eunuch Fu left by his side.
"Rebellious son!"
When Jun Wenci rushed to his bedside, the emperor stared at him with wide eyes.
"Father, although you have made me the crown prince, you have always been wary of me like a thief since I was a child, and you have never been willing to give me power."
"It's fine if you treat me like this, but over the years, how many tears have you made my mother shed and how many times has her heart been broken because of that demon concubine Han?"
"As a son, I am indeed unfilial."
"But I, Jun Wenci, will never regret killing my father for my mother!"
The hall was silent, and a chilling coldness gradually filled the air. Jun Wenci stared at the emperor with a chilling gaze without any fear.
He has no guilt in forcing the emperor to abdicate and rebelling this time!
My father forced my mother to death, and just yesterday he ordered the extermination of my grandfather's entire family, the Wu family.
Even if it's just for revenge, he must kill the emperor today!
"You and your son both poisoned me, and now you're blaming me?"
"Unfilial son, success makes you a king and failure makes you a bandit. I have nothing to say to you."
"However, you, who are unfilial to your biological father, will surely fall into the hell after you die!"
Even if the emperor died, he would curse Jun Wenci in advance.
"Humph, I am not afraid of going to hell, because you, my father, are here too!"
"Father, let us meet again in hell a hundred years from now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he slashed the emperor's neck with his sword.
Si Wang helped him kill Eunuch Fu as well.
At that moment, it was just dawn.
Jun Wenci had the emperor's body taken to the Golden Palace, where he sat on the throne himself.
His blood-stained robe also stained the dragon throne with blood, but he did not feel dirty at all and sat very steadily.
"Congratulations, brother, your dream has finally come true."
Si Wang blessed from the side.
"Long live the emperor!"
All the soldiers of the Canglong Guard knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Long live the emperor."
Jun Wenci enjoyed this feeling very much.
He sat high on the dragon throne, looking at the soldiers kneeling on the ground below, feeling very satisfied.
"So this is what it feels like to sit on the dragon throne!"
Jun Wenci sighed.
In the past, he always stood in the hall, looking up at his father. Today, sitting in this position, he felt so good to look down on the world and everything around him.
"Brother Li, I have to thank you for being able to sit in this position."
"Your Nanxin throne, this palace..."
Jun Wenci was just about to say that he would help King Si go to Nanxin to seize the throne, but King Si interrupted him and said, "Brother Jun, don't be anxious. You haven't even secured the throne yet. Have you forgotten about those Deng family members who are driving the mechanical birds?"
With his reminder, Jun Wenci's pupils shrank sharply, as if he had thought of something horrible.
The Deng family and Deng Youning have always been his biggest concerns!
Soon, the sound of fighting was heard outside the hall.
It’s Deng’s army coming to attack.
"It seems that the one who understands us the best is Nan Xinsi Wang!"
Deng Youning's clear and sweet voice also appeared at the entrance of the Golden Palace.
They left just now to go to the palace gate to meet the Deng family army and the civil and military officials who were rushing to attend the morning court.
