"Since Second Brother is here, please just stand aside and watch my coronation ceremony quietly." The virtuous king warned. He now only hoped that Prince Jing would know what was good for him and not cause any trouble.
After all, he has been planning for the throne for a long time. In addition, the wise king has always known the personality of the king. He is indifferent by nature and lives and works in peace and contentment in his fiefdom. Unlike himself, he has never been to his fiefdom in order to stay in the capital. He should not compete with him for the throne.
However, what the virtuous king did not expect was that the prince Jing had no intention of backing down, but instead wanted to force him off the throne.
"With your current behavior, you are not fit to be the emperor at all." Prince Jing said coldly, as if he was looking at a traitor who was plotting to usurp the throne, with no trace of the brotherly affection he once had in his eyes.
After all, in Prince Jing's mind, Prince Xian shot and killed his own brother. Such a heartless person would definitely not repent, so he did not give Prince Xian another chance.
The fact that the virtuous prince was able to seize power and usurp the throne showed that he still had some strength, after all, he still had so many soldiers at his disposal. Seeing that the Jing prince was about to attack him, he also ordered his generals to surround the Jing prince.
He was not at all panicked, and his trump card was still outside the palace. Which of these ministers would dare to betray him?
At this time, Shen Moye entered the hall from outside the palace gate. He was wearing armor, like the sharpest sword. The young man's posture was as straight as a pine tree, his aura was as strong as the sun, and under his sword-like eyebrows were a pair of eyes as bright as cold stars.
The atmosphere in the hall became even more tense as Shen Moye came in.
"Shen Moye, how dare you betray me?" The virtuous king looked at Shen Moye walking in from outside the palace gate and standing beside Prince Jing. He was very puzzled. If Shen Moye had always relied on him, then after he became the emperor, he would really appoint Shen Moye as a general.
Are there really people who would rather give up fame, fortune and power and go against him?
So why did you help him in the first place? Is it because while the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits?
The virtuous prince couldn't understand, so he continued sarcastically, "I told you the truth about General Shen's murder, but you turned your kindness against your will. You betrayed two masters in the past half month. Prince Jing, do you really dare to employ such a person?"
Prince Jing's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything.
Although it was Shen Moye who told him about this matter, it was just a collaboration between the two of them and there was no betrayal.
Meanwhile, Shen Moye, standing aside, remained calm, seemingly unfazed by Prince Jing's misunderstanding. He looked at the furious Prince Xian above and said, "Your Majesty murdered a loyal minister, and he deserves this fate. But isn't it the same for you, Prince Xian? All the civil and military officials here are only here because they were threatened by you. Even your actions are definitely not those of a wise ruler."
The wise king was speechless. He glanced at the ministers below. Their eyes were full of resentment, but because the people in their families were in his hands, they could not say a word.
He was a little confused for a moment. Now that things were like this, even if he became the emperor, was it really what he wanted? Even the hearts of his ministers were not on his side.
In just a moment, the clarity returned to the wise king's eyes. All he wanted was the throne, and he was almost convinced by Shen Moye. He was really good at misleading people.
"You are just a subject, and loyalty to the king is what you should do," said the wise king, "as for the rest, you don't have to worry about it."
Prince Jing couldn't listen any longer, and then interrupted, "Xian Wang, you are just a prince, and you have committed the crime of treason. How dare you say that about General Shen? As for the loyal emperor you mentioned, you are not even an emperor now."
At this time, Shen Moye said to the civil and military officials, "Your families are safe now. Please retreat to a safe place outside."
The ministers also breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
Wen Jingming looked at Shen Moye with admiration in his eyes. He took the lead and said, "Then go out with this Prime Minister."
The wise king above saw that he had lost the last leverage to threaten the minister, and he knew that the next battle would be a life-and-death one.
He picked up the bow and arrow again and wanted to shoot the court official, but the arrow was cut off by Shen Moye's sword who was prepared.
The two sides started fighting, and the generals under the wise king were just kept in reserve. They did not play a big role on the battlefield and had no combat effectiveness at all.
The soldiers on Shen Moye's side have all been tempered in the battlefield. They are different from the soldiers of the wise king and can fight ten people at once.
Prince Jing's soldiers also train regularly, so their combat effectiveness is quite good.
The virtuous king's soldiers were quickly subdued and the virtuous king was captured alive.
Xiao Yimo didn't expect that she had been taken away before she became the queen. Looking at the queen's auspicious clothes she was wearing, it was as if she had fallen from heaven to hell.
Moreover, she is now regarded as an accomplice of the wise king, and the palace servants passing by look at her with mocking eyes.
As the saying goes, the victor is the king and the loser is the bandit. If a virtuous king becomes the emperor, naturally no one would dare to talk about him.
If they lose now, and the fact that the virtuous king was originally plotting treason, all the charges will be put on the virtuous king, and the child in Xiao Yimo's belly will also be the traitor's child.
The eldest princess did not go to the palace that day. She had just received the news and was naturally very anxious. However, she did not know that the emperor had been killed by the wise king. She thought he was just imprisoned.
Fu Yunxi was worried about the eldest princess, so he went to the princess's mansion to find her.
After meeting Fu Yunxi, the eldest princess was not as enthusiastic as usual.
Although she knew that she was taking her anger out on others, Shen Moye and Fu Yunxi were now engaged, and she didn't believe that Fu Yunxi knew nothing.
Fu Yunxi knew everything about the woman's cold expression, but the two of them were in different positions now. Although she was grateful for the princess's kindness to her in the past, she also helped her.
As for Shen Moye's revenge, that was his business. Not to mention that she was not marrying him now, even if she married him, she had no right to interfere.
"You knew what the virtuous king and Shen Moye were going to do, why didn't you tell me?" The eldest princess's face was full of majesty. After all, she grew up in the palace and had an overbearing aura.
"If the princess is dissatisfied with me, then I apologize and will not come to the princess's residence in the future. However, I thank you for taking care of me during this period of time." Fu Yunxi continued, "I hope the princess takes good care of herself."
After saying these words, Fu Yunxi prepared to leave.
Fu Yunxi has always been a very decisive person in doing things. Asking Shen Moye not to make things difficult for the eldest princess has already been a loss of face for her.
The eldest princess obviously didn't expect Fu Yunxi to be so tough, and she called her awkwardly.
"Yunxi, I was too anxious today. Do you know what's going on? Please tell me."
Seeing that the princess had calmed down, Fu Yunxi sat beside her and told her everything she knew.
