Chapter 230: Killing
Each Other The Second Prince pointed his sword at the First Prince and shouted angrily: "It was you who imprisoned my father, you are a traitor!"
"Brother, if you let the emperor go now, he will spare your life out of the father-son relationship. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
The eldest prince unfolded the imperial edict in his hand and said loudly: "My father has passed the throne to me!"
The eldest prince handed the imperial edict to Eunuch Shen, "Eunuch Shen, announce the edict!"
Eunuch Shen wanted to cry but had no tears. He took the imperial edict and read it out.
"Fake!" the second prince said angrily, "I want to see the imperial edict!"
"The imperial edict of succession is so important, how can there be no important officials by your side to testify?" The second prince said, "How can we prove it with only a group of servants here!"
"Your Highness, when His Majesty was writing the imperial edict, this old minister was serving by his side." Grand Tutor Liu said slowly.
"Master Liu!" The second prince was shocked, "You are actually my eldest brother's man!"
Master Liu really hid it well! "I thought you were a smart man, but I didn't expect you to choose my eldest brother." How stupid.
The eldest prince snorted coldly. At this point he was the winner and he was just letting the second prince vent his anger.
Grand Tutor Liu said slowly, "When your majesty wrote the imperial edict to pass on the throne, this old minister was standing by."
"I don't believe it!" the second prince said loudly, "General Cheng!"
Master Liu and the eldest prince were both shocked. General Cheng was also there?! General Cheng, was he supporting the second prince? General Cheng was a first-rank general of the Daxi Dynasty.
Upon seeing him, Grand Tutor Liu smiled and said, "I didn't expect General Cheng to support the Second Prince.
It’s hidden very deeply.
He also didn't expect that the Second Prince could win him over.
"This general does not support anyone." General Cheng said with a straight face, "This general just wants to see His Majesty."
"Even if His Majesty is seriously ill, the court officials should be allowed to see him and understand the situation." General Cheng said, "After seeing His Majesty, the authenticity of the imperial edict will naturally be known."
"Instead you are the ones who are stopping us from seeing each other. Are you feeling guilty?" General Cheng said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty can no longer recognize people. His dragon body... is too embarrassing to be seen by others." Liu Taishi said, "Your Majesty just wants to retain his dignity. Why should General Cheng insist on it?"
"The imperial edict, General Cheng, if you want to see it, you can see it." Grand Tutor Liu asked Eunuch Shen to hand the imperial edict to General Cheng.
General Cheng took the imperial edict, read it, and his face changed drastically. He said sternly: "This is not the handwriting of your majesty!"
"Brother, how dare you forge data!" the second prince said immediately.
But Liu Taishi said: "Your Majesty is seriously ill and unable to lift a pen, so this old minister can only write for you, but the final handprint is your Majesty's own."
"Master Liu!" General Cheng said angrily, "You are treating me like a fool!"
"How dare you hold my father's hand and force him to press his fingerprints!" The second prince pointed his sword at the eldest prince, "Today, I will rescue my father!"
The second prince led his troops to charge forward, and the imperial guards stood in front of the eldest prince and Grand Tutor Liu to block them.
The second prince shouted: "Those who lay down their weapons will not be killed!"
At this time, shouts and screams were heard not far away. It was Zhao Jigang who led his troops back.
The eldest prince breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Second brother, you are the one. Put down your weapon and I will spare your life!"
"You are a traitor and a traitor who killed your father and usurped the throne. None of you can escape today!" The second prince shouted with a knife in hand, "Kill them!"
Just when the imperial guards could no longer hold out, Zhao Jigang finally led his men to kill them.
This time, the second prince's army was attacked from both sides.
But the second prince still has more people.
The fighting between the two sides was in full swing. Although the eldest prince had hidden his troops, it was for the purpose of concealment, so naturally he was not as ostentatious as the second prince.
As the fight went on, the situation gradually showed signs of decline.
In the chaos, the second prince shouted: "Those who surrender will not be killed!"
Those who were hesitant at the beginning, now seeing that the eldest prince's side was no longer viable, all dropped their weapons.
When the eldest prince saw some of the people who had first abandoned their weapons, he was originally standing in front of the hall under protection. Suddenly he snatched the sword from the guard beside him and rushed down. He swung his sword with a fierce look on his face and killed any soldier who had dropped his sword and surrendered within his sight.
Killing their own soldiers! The soldiers on the eldest prince's side were filled with fear and hatred.
He was too frightened to drop his sword.
He also hated the eldest prince for killing even his own soldiers who had fought for him and risked their lives for him. Who would dare to work for him?
It was clear that if he didn't surrender, he would be killed by the Second Prince's men, and if he surrendered, he would be killed by the First Prince's men.
Someone on the eldest prince's side suddenly became frightened, and looking at his comrade in arms, he took advantage of the chaos to fight and move towards the eldest prince.
Someone suddenly swung a sword, and the sword pierced the eldest prince's back.
The eldest prince had no armor on him and felt a sharp pain in his body. He looked down in disbelief and saw a long sword piercing his chest.
He wanted to look back to see who did it, but he was powerless and his face was filled with despair and despair.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Those people quickly evacuated and led the crowd.
Someone shouted: "We surrender!"
In the crowd, more and more people dropped their swords and knelt down.
The second prince shouted, "The eldest prince is dead! Give up the sword and don't kill him!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jigang was shocked and looked around for the eldest prince.
As more and more people knelt down to surrender, Zhao Jigang finally saw the eldest prince kneeling on the ground.
Zhao Jigang threw down the sword in his hand with a look of despair.
The eldest prince was completely defeated. Seeing this, Grand Tutor Liu tried to run away, but was forced back by General Cheng. “Where are you going, Grand Tutor?”
Someone cleaned up the battlefield outside the palace, and the Second Prince entered the palace with General Cheng.
Then they saw Emperor Jiacheng with his hands and feet tied, writhing on the ground crying in pain.
Seeing the second prince coming in, he shouted excitedly: "Elixir! Give me the elixir!"
"Second brother, give me the elixir! Quick!"
The second prince looked at Emperor Jiacheng in surprise. He didn't even bother to call himself "I".
"Give me the elixir quickly! I want the elixir!" Emperor Jiacheng's voice gradually turned into a plea.
The second prince's eyes flashed, and he said, "Father, my elder brother committed treason and imprisoned you, attempting to usurp the throne. I have already beheaded him."
Emperor Jiacheng shouted, "Good kill! Give me the elixir!"
"Untie me!" Emperor Jiacheng shouted frantically, "Second brother, I knew you are the one I can trust. Untie me now!"
The second prince was not in a hurry. Seeing Emperor Jiacheng twisted like a maggot on the ground, he squatted down and did not say anything to untie him. Instead, he asked: "Father, are you okay?"
"Oh no! Give me the elixir quickly! Give me the elixir!" Emperor Jiacheng opened his mouth in pain and wanted to tear himself apart, but he was tied up and could not move.
The second prince turned around and asked Eunuch Shen who had followed him in, "How long has father been like this?"
Eunuch Shen suppressed his fear and answered, "Your Majesty's elixir must have been replaced by the eldest prince. It has been more than half a month."
"Without the elixir, Father will always be like this?"
"Yes." Eunuch Shen said respectfully, "If you can't take the elixir in time, your majesty will be in great pain."
The second prince thought to himself, no wonder Emperor Jiacheng was so anxious to let the three of them sacrifice their lifespans in exchange for the elixir.
