Chapter 238 Pillar
It’s the fourth one!
Who would have thought that the fourth brother was hiding in the Taimiao, just waiting for him to take advantage of the opportunity.
"What do you want?" The fifth prince looked back and saw that the fourth prince was just like him, wearing a crown and a bright yellow dragon robe, which was even more exquisitely made than his.
Obviously, it was not made in a hurry.
But it was prepared in advance!
"Fourth brother, I am the legitimate ruler. If you surrender, not only will I spare your life, but I will also crown you King of Qin and grant you endless wealth and glory. How do you think?"
"Oh, orthodoxy? What is orthodoxy? You and I are of the same bloodline as our father. If you can sit on the throne, then naturally I can too. Moreover, I am more qualified than you." The Fourth Prince sneered.
Naturally, there was a sword on Shen Yubai's neck. It felt cold and made him want to shrink his neck. He had a look of fear on his face, but in fact, there was a sneer in his eyes. He watched the two brothers fighting to the death without any expression.
"My father just had a stroke, how could he die so suddenly? My father must have died at your hands, but you put the blame on me. You are truly despicable!" The fourth prince suddenly exerted force with the hand holding the sword.
The Fifth Prince's expression changed. "It's not me, I didn't do that. It's obvious that Father was pissed off to death by you."
The Fourth Prince suddenly looked at Shen Yubai and said, "Eunuch Wang, tell me, was our father killed by the Fifth Prince?"
Shen Yubai, whose name was suddenly called,
how?
Has he gone from being the pillar of the family to being the pillar of the palace?
One by one, they all came to him.
We can't do without him, right?
He immediately put on a flattering look, "Your Highness is right, whatever Your Highness says is right!"
The main point is to know the current affairs.
Very sensible to the times.
The fifth prince was furious, "You eunuch..."
The Fourth Prince nodded in satisfaction. "After we go out, Eunuch Wang, you know what to say, right?"
Shen Yubai nodded quickly, just like a chick pecking at rice, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will never let you down. I only ask Your Highness not to kill me."
The Fourth Prince was increasingly satisfied. "Eunuch Wang is truly a good dog. Don't worry! Not only will I not kill you, but after I ascend the throne, I will allow you to continue serving me."
Shen Yubai, "..."
You are the dog, your whole family are dogs.
But his head had its own thoughts, nodding rapidly, and his mouth also had its own thoughts, "Thank you, Your Highness, for not killing me."
"My son, the auspicious time cannot be missed. Don't waste any more time with them. It's time to go out and meet the civil and military officials." Concubine Qi wore a veil hat and the empress dowager's auspicious dress, and even the words she spoke were extremely majestic.
At the moment the hall door closed, the guards outside the Taimiao defected one after another.
At this moment, not only the civil and military officials, but even the other princes had been captured.
With a squeak.
As the door of the hall slowly opened.
The fourth prince held the fifth prince hostage and led everyone out of the hall step by step.
Naturally, the weak and helpless Shen Yubai was also taken out by them.
The civil and military officials were in an uproar, "It's actually the Fourth Prince and Concubine Qi!"
"The fifth prince has just admitted in person that he was the one who poisoned our father, and eunuch Wang is the witness." The fourth prince said loudly in front of everyone.
For a moment, everyone looked at Shen Yubai.
The fifth prince was furious. "You're talking nonsense! It's clear that the emperor was pissed off to death by you and Concubine Qi."
Poor and weak Shen Yubai, "..."
He nodded desperately, "The Fourth Prince is right!"
What he said was absolutely brilliant.
It seems like everything has been said, but it also seems like nothing has been said.
Before he could finish his words, the Fifth Prince continued, "Anyone can see that Eunuch Wang was forced into a desperate situation. The sword on his neck is the best evidence."
He looked at the guards and said, "I am the legitimate new emperor. You must think carefully. Do you really want to become traitors? Have you thought about your families and ancestors? Are they willing to bear this infamy?"
After he said this, many people became shaken.
Concubine Qi acted decisively. She took the sword from the Fourth Prince's hand and killed the Fifth Prince without blinking.
"Your Majesty..." All the civil and military officials were horrified, and the loudest shouts came from Pei Zhi and Xie Xuan.
A single word of "Your Majesty" made their position clear.
They only recognize the Fifth Prince!
At this point, the Fourth Prince no longer hesitated.
"Kill!" he ordered.
The rest of the princes were covered in blood.
In the blink of an eye, he was the only one left of His Majesty's bloodline.
He laughed wildly, "At this point, I am the only one left who can inherit the throne. Why don't you all pay your respects to me?"
