Chapter 124: Stalemate
The capital is in chaos.
Emperor Fengqing sent his trusted guards to arrest King Ning.
As a result, they were all killed by King Ning's soldiers.
Such blatant disobedience to the emperor's order was considered the first battle of the rebellion in the capital.
Emperor Fengqing was furious and personally led the imperial guards to capture King Ning.
In desperation, King Ning led his men to withdraw from the capital and settled in the imperial village.
It's not like he didn't have the ability to kill Emperor Fengqing.
It's just different from Emperor Fengqing who was ruthless and wanted to kill Prince Ning.
Prince Ning did not want to kill Emperor Fengqing easily, but kept his hand at every turn.
He was afraid that after Emperor Fengqing's death, he would become the target of many princes.
Even at this time, Prince Ning still wanted to clear his name and restore his protective color of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
Because after thinking about it, he still felt that he could not take the blame for killing the prince.
Otherwise, even if you get the throne, you won’t be stable!
He was planning how to kill many princes as soon as possible and pass the blame to Emperor Fengqing.
Therefore, there was a temporary stalemate with Emperor Fengqing.
This delay of several days was enough for Su Houye to bring his men to the capital by water.
There is not much time left for King Ning.
Some princes whose fiefdoms were closer to the capital already had their men coming from their fiefdoms to protect their masters.
The emperor also began to mobilize troops and generals.
Although the Imperial Army was in the hands of King Ning.
But not far from the capital, there is also a Xiaoqi camp.
He was quickly dispatched by Emperor Fengqing to guard the capital.
Therefore, the longer the delay, the more unfavorable the situation will be for Prince Ning.
But even though King Ning wanted a quick victory.
But somewhat helpless.
Because those princes are not stupid either.
They quickly figured out their situation.
Co-author No matter who becomes the emperor, they all want to sacrifice themselves and others to heaven.
What a great way to centralize power!
So all the princes united together.
For safety, they gathered their respective dead bodyguards together.
A large escort team was formed.
Escorted them and hid in the imperial mausoleum.
Emperor Fengqing or Prince Ning, no matter who takes the lead in attacking the imperial mausoleum.
They are all guilty of disrespecting their ancestors. Even if they win the throne in the future, their reputation will be infamy for thousands of years.
Before they could think of a good way to deal with it, these princes were unable to move.
The two of them could only leave these princes alone for now.
Deal with each other.
Therefore, the current situation has become that the princes sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
If King Ning wanted to take action against the kings, Emperor Fengqing would stop him.
Because for Emperor Fengqing, it was not too late to kill King Ning first, and then kill the other kings.
But King Ning wanted to kill the queens first and then pass the blame to Emperor Fengqing. It was up to him to replace Emperor Fengqing himself.
It has been revealed to Emperor Fengqing by Su Houye's people.
How could Emperor Fengqing be willing to let King Ning succeed?
After Lord Su arrived in the capital in a hurry, he did not enter the capital.
Instead, he first stationed himself not far from the capital.
The manpower he had left in the capital had been flying eagles to deliver messages to him every two hours these days.
Therefore, even if Su Houye is not in the capital.
But he knew everything about what was happening in the capital.
He knew that Prince Ning would never wait too long.
Prince Ning just wants to get some fame now.
The other party wanted both the throne and a reputation.
It can be said to be a model of insatiable greed.
But Prince Ning knew better than anyone else that this opportunity should not be missed.
Therefore, Prince Ning will never let go of this opportunity!
He will definitely take action before the reinforcements from various princes arrive in Beijing!
And Lord Su Hou came here just to cause trouble for Prince Ning.
Naturally, he cannot be satisfied.
It's about making trouble the way you want.
"Pass my order to assassinate the second prince tonight."
Lord Su said in a cold voice.
"Yes!" the subordinate responded and ran out to deliver the order.
In Su Houye's heart, the second prince was unfit to be emperor, so he naturally disdained calling him emperor.
As long as the second prince dies.
No one can take the blame for killing all the kings on behalf of King Ning.
King Ning's opponent will become the power behind all the kings in the world!
It's night.
There was a solemn atmosphere in the palace.
The Ouchi guards patrolled the palace with open fire.
Yingying, Yanyan and other concubines all huddled in their bedrooms and did not dare to come out.
The second prince, Emperor Fengqing, was still interested in teasing women from good families.
Although all the princes escaped from the palace.
However, the female family members were entertained by the queen and were kept in the palace.
Among them, except for some older princesses.
There are indeed a few pretty young women.
There are feudal princes and princesses, as well as the crown prince’s wife.
The second prince didn't care at all about the identities of these people.
He enjoyed the pleasure of being unable to resist him.
"That's her. Take her down to take a bath and send her to my bedroom."
The second prince pointed at a stunningly beautiful woman and said.
The woman was dressed as a woman.
Hearing this, he begged with a horrified look on his face: "Your Majesty, no, I am the daughter-in-law of Prince Su..."
The palace servants stepped forward one after another and involuntarily pulled the woman to bathe and freshen up.
The woman looked desperate and wanted to pull out her hairpin and commit suicide.
As soon as he made a move, all the sharp objects on his body were taken away by the palace guards.
While taking a bath, the woman tried to drown herself in the bath water.
The palace people watched closely and pulled her out of the water many times.
No matter how hard she struggled, she was finally wrapped in brocade clothes and sent to the emperor's chamber.
