What does it mean to catch a turtle in a jar and what does it mean to be a trapped beast fighting? The eldest prince perfectly demonstrated this at this moment.
At this moment, the imperial city was in chaos, with eunuchs and palace maids fleeing everywhere, and cries of grief and shouting everywhere.
Some people look for places to hide, some take the opportunity to set fires and create chaos, some seize the opportunity to steal property, and some choose this time to seek revenge and settle grievances.
The eldest prince thought that by retreating into the palace, relying on the towering and solid walls of the palace, he should be able to stop the army outside.
But when he really arrived at the palace, he found that the situation inside was terrible and the chaos inside was outrageous.
If the situation inside the palace is not suppressed quickly, once a fight breaks out between the two sides, who knows if someone will suddenly stab us in the back.
So the eldest prince's army began a bloody massacre and suppression inside the palace.
Many palace maids and eunuchs were captured, and the eldest prince ordered them to stand on the city walls to defend against the enemy. Anyone who resisted would be killed on the spot.
Looking at the endless wailing in the imperial city, Wei Yong and other civil officials were so angry that they beat their chests and stamped their feet until their hands and feet turned cold.
"Thousands of years of culture, why did our Great Qi suffer such a disaster!"
"You beast! How could the great and glorious nation of Great Qi cause such a disaster?"
In short, the civil officials were furious. The emperor was not dead yet, but his son was planning to usurp the throne. This was simply treason, and it indirectly proved that Confucian ethics had failed.
At this moment, people once again witnessed the horror of the civil officials' full firepower. These bastards really cursed people without using any dirty words, but they made the prince on the city wall so angry that he was fuming.
"Shoot! Shoot hard!"
The eldest prince gave an order, but few people responded.
Now all his confidants were below capturing the eunuchs and palace maids in the imperial city. As for those standing on the top of the city wall, they were either servants who were forced to come up, or some soldiers who were kept in the dark.
Now, after hearing the officials below cursing so brilliantly, everyone certainly knew what had happened.
Many people are just soldiers who come here to get paid.
Now, for such a small thing, you are charged with treason. Are you kidding me?
Seeing that not many arrows fell from the city wall, Wei Yong roughly understood what was going on.
He stepped forward and shouted to the soldiers on the city wall, "The Crown Prince is plotting a rebellion. You must have been kept in the dark. Therefore, you must lay down your weapons. On behalf of the court, I will pardon you."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was indeed a commotion on the city wall. The eldest prince was so angry that he drew the long sword at his waist and said, "We can't listen to their nonsense. They are the ones who really want to rebel. Now we are guarding the imperial city and protecting His Majesty!"
Wei Yong raised his eyebrows and once again used his verbal skills to say, "Don't you see that all the civil and military officials of the imperial court are here. Can't you see who is plotting a rebellion?"
The soldiers on the city wall looked at each other again. Everyone had a scale in their hearts, and most people could tell right from wrong as clearly as a mirror.
Besides, in the current situation, with all the officials of the court standing below, even if the eldest prince is not plotting a rebellion, he is still committing a rebellion.
After all, wherever the officials are, there the court is, and it doesn't matter who sits on the throne, it's all the same.
Wei Yong saw that the situation was almost tense, and suddenly shouted, "How long are you going to persist in your delusion? If we really wait until the army approaches and the power of thunder descends, will you still be alive?"
"Even if you're not afraid of death, aren't you afraid of bringing trouble to your wives and children at home?"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of hot air balloons suddenly appeared behind Wei Yong. The funny smiling faces were flying in the air unscrupulously, showing off their existence fearlessly.
Seeing these funny faces, the soldiers on the city wall were completely stunned. Even the soldiers around the eldest prince lost their morale at this moment.
Everyone knows about the battle situation in Bazhou City. They don’t want to be trapped in the imperial city and become something like roasted suckling pig.
The moment the first soldier put down his weapon, the eldest prince's defeat was inevitable.
Seeing the soldiers laying down their weapons and raising their hands in surrender, the eldest prince's face turned green, and then there was a crushing defeat.
He knew that the game was over.
In the end, Li Xiang's side took the city wall without bloodshed. Some clever eunuchs and palace maids took the initiative to open the city gate, stood on both sides to welcome the army into the city, and kept shouting "Long live the emperor".
The eldest prince retreated into the queen's bedroom and fought desperately with hundreds of people, but everyone knew that there was little point in doing so.
This can be seen from the fact that when Li Xiang and others entered the imperial city, they did not rush to surround and kill the eldest prince, but first went to Li Zhuo's Yangxin Palace to check on Li Zhuo's condition. The eldest prince was just a turtle in a jar, and it was only a matter of time before he was crushed to death.
The moment Li Xiang appeared in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the eunuchs and soldiers who were originally arranged by the Queen and the First Prince to guard the Emperor dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground.
Li Xiang hurriedly asked someone to take over the defense here, and he led a group of ministers into the Yangxin Palace.
At this time, we must bring the ministers with us. Who knows what Li Zhuo is doing inside? If something really happens, Li Xiang won’t be able to explain it clearly.
The importance of identity can be seen at this time. Nowadays, those who can enter the Yangxin Palace are almost all the heads and deputy heads of the six ministries. Other officials are only qualified to kneel outside the Yangxin Palace.
When a group of ministers accompanied Li Xiang into the inner hall of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, and saw Hua Bule kneeling at one point and Li Zhuo lying on the bed with a pale face, several of them fainted on the spot.
Although everyone knew that the eldest prince was plotting a rebellion, they never thought that he had the courage to kill the emperor. At best, they thought that the eldest prince had just imprisoned Li Zhuo.
"Imperial Physician! Call the Imperial Physician!"
Wei Yong's voice was hoarse. In his opinion, this farce in the royal family was simply a tragedy on earth.
What made him even more angry was that Da Qi had finally seen signs of revival, but because of that idiot eldest prince, everything was almost ruined. It was so stupid that it was outrageous!
Surprisingly, the calmest person at this time was Li Xiang. He stepped forward, pulled open Li Zhuo's quilt, and reached out to check on Li Zhuo's condition.
Cui Shanzhan and the others shuddered in fear upon seeing this. Wei Yong couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, it would be best not to touch His Majesty casually at this time."
In fact, this is said in a rather subtle way. Now everyone can see that Li Zhuo is in very bad condition. What if he dies just because you move him twice?
Those who know that this was caused by the eldest prince, those who don’t think that you did something in secret.
Didn't Li Xiang know this? Of course he knew it, because Lu Chen had already told him before entering the palace.
But the person lying on the bed was his father. Li Xiang felt that as a son, he should not think about these things at this time.
"Prepare plenty of boiled water, soap, and salt! Go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences immediately to invite my master, and also get all the doctors from the medical school to come over! I need to save someone!"
