The news of the emperor's death quickly spread throughout the Wei Dynasty.
The princes far away in their fiefdoms were horrified.
Along with the news of the emperor's death, there was another piece of news.
That is, when the emperor passed away, he issued an oral decree that the fourth prince would succeed to the throne.
The Fourth Prince's lineage is only waiting to bury the late Emperor before supporting the Fourth Prince to ascend the throne.
Among the princes in the capital today, except for those who are minors and have not yet been given titles, only the Fourth Prince is in the imperial city.
The Fourth Prince and Imperial Concubine Rong sent word to several princes outside the capital to return to the capital to mourn the late emperor.
However, the princes outside knew that returning to Beijing at this time would be like throwing themselves into a tiger's den.
They had been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, but the emperor had never issued an order to appoint any prince as crown prince. How was it possible that as soon as the old emperor passed away, there was an edict to appoint the fourth prince as emperor?

No matter which prince succeeds to the throne, it will not be good for them, and it will definitely be a life-and-death situation.
Moreover, they simply did not believe that their father had passed the throne to the Fourth Prince.
The Fourth Prince is neither the eldest nor the eldest among the princes.
Speaking of legitimate sons, there is the Eighth Prince who was raised by the Queen, but the Eighth Prince is still young.
Speaking of the eldest son, there are two adult princes above the Fourth Prince, so it is not his turn.
Finally, several adult princes in their fiefdoms spread the rumor that the emperor was killed by the Fourth Prince and Concubine Rong, claiming they had not seen the imperial edict, and refused to return to Beijing to announce the death of the emperor.
The common people had no access to the affairs of the heavenly family, so they just believed whatever they heard.
Now the news that the Fourth Prince and Imperial Concubine Rong had murdered the Emperor had spread more and more widely among the people.
The Fourth Prince in the capital had no words to express his grievances.
Listening to the news reported by the servant, he angrily swept the teacup on the table to the ground.

After a crisp sound, the precious porcelain shattered to the ground.
The maids and eunuchs waiting in the room were frightened by the noise and immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty, please calm down."
Although the Fourth Prince has not yet officially ascended the throne, his huge ambition has already made him extremely inflated.
The maids and eunuchs in the palace would call him "Emperor" when they were alone.
The Fourth Prince was so angry that he gasped and kicked the subordinate who came to report the news to the ground.
His brothers, the emperor's younger brothers, actually refused to acknowledge his impending ascension to the throne!
They are indeed a bunch of stumbling blocks.
Then we must get rid of them all!
However, regarding the death of his father, the Fourth Prince really felt that he was taking the blame.

As long as his father is alive, the advantage will always be on his side.
He killed his father because he was so depressed.
In order to help his father live longer, he collected all the good medicines and gave them to his father.
But his body had already been damaged, and even if a great immortal came, he couldn't save him.
If he and his mother had not searched the entire bedroom and failed to find the jade seal, he would not be in such a passive position now.
…
The news of the Fourth Prince's plot to murder the Emperor continued to spread.
Each prince declared himself king in his own fiefdom and jointly raised an army to attack the fourth prince in the capital.
They tried to win over General Xiangnan, but all failed.
With weak military forces at hand, they could only continue to recruit soldiers in their respective fiefdoms.

Seeing that the situation was not favorable, the Fourth Prince's lineage also wanted to gather the forces in their hands to protect the capital.
At this time in the palace.
In Concubine Rong's palace, the Fourth Prince was sitting below Concubine Rong.
The fourth prince asked with some displeasure on his face: "Has mother heard the rumors in the capital?"
Imperial Concubine Rong flicked the non-existent ashes on her body, angrily saying, "Why do you care about those rumors outside?"
"As long as you hold on to that position, the rumors outside will have nothing to do with you. Can't you control the mouths of a few unruly people?"
She said casually: "When the time comes, I will have the power of life and death. I will kill anyone who disobeys me."
Concubine Rong's comfort really worked, and the Fourth Prince was no longer so angry.
But when he thought of his troublesome brothers, he felt depressed again.
"Mother, this is not a solution. Although there are many soldiers in the capital, two fists cannot beat four hands. I am afraid that my brothers will team up with us, and then we will be the weaker party."

Speaking of this, Concubine Rong was also unhappy.
If the Fei family had not run fast, the 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Western Territory would now belong to her Cheng family, so why would she be afraid of these things?
But it's useless to say more now.
Thinking of the letter that the Cheng family had sent from the Western Territory a few days ago, Concubine Rong had a plan in mind.
"Send a letter to your uncle later, asking him to return to Beijing with his men as soon as possible."
After Fei Yanche and his family returned to the Western Territory, before they had time to deal with the Cheng family, they encountered invading foreigners and could only focus on the war.
This gave the Cheng family an opportunity. When they received the news of the emperor's death, they thought that their chance to turn things around was about to come.
But unexpectedly, not only did they not wait for the opportunity to turn things around, but they received news that the Fourth Prince asked them to return to the capital with their men.
After General Liu and General Xu received the news, they both had plans in mind.
They are already at loggerheads with the Fei family, so it would be better for them to follow General Cheng back to Jingbo for a bright future.
