Chapter 269 Seizing the throne
Northern Chu, Sucheng.
Everything happened unexpectedly. Just when someone was about to shift the focus to Yun Zhuan, something unexpected happened.
The next performance is a song and dance type.
Yun Ju'an was a little surprised. In just a split second, those daggers appeared in front of everyone:
"You bastard, give me your life!"
Those people quickly rushed towards the Northern Chu Emperor. The Northern Chu Emperor was very sober. Even in such a situation, he could sit on the dragon chair calmly:
"Come here, Yulin Guards, capture these thieves for me!"
Originally thinking that this was just a simple matter, the Emperor of Northern Chu soon discovered that his Yulin Guards were not very capable of resisting this sudden assassination, as these assassins were all top masters.
Yun Ju'an looked on coldly and just watched the show from the side.
If she guessed correctly, this should be the work of Beimen Que. No, perhaps it was also the work of other princes. These princes now all have their own ulterior motives. Seeing that the Emperor of Beichu seems to be able to live for many more years, who can bear it?
Yun Zhuan smiled and whispered:
"Who do you think did this?"
Yu Qing turned his head calmly and covered his mouth with his hands: "This must be the work of some prince!"
The Emperor of Northern Chu, who is in his prime, would not die so easily. However, the princes now either have powerful maternal families or are already strong enough. They all hope that the Emperor of Northern Chu will die soon so that they can divide these things up directly.
The whole hall was in chaos, but for some reason, the ministers and envoys nearby all moved back and there were no real problems.
"If you ask me, the Qingzhou issue should be resolved, right?" Yun Ju'an grabbed a handful of melon seeds and followed the crowd to the direction of the Northern Chu Emperor. "Hey, Yu Qing, don't go there. If you go there again, what if the assassin hurts you?"
Yu Qing watched Yun Zhuan eating melon seeds, and then snatched a few from him:
"Then I was injured for the sake of the Emperor of Northern Chu, right? At least I should be rewarded according to my merits!"
Yun Zhuan made a face at her:
"You're overthinking!"
Gong Yizou interrupted in a sinister tone, "Two sisters, there is a fight going on over there! Is this really okay for you?"
Yun Zhuan tilted his head and said, "Oh, what a coincidence, isn't this the second son of the Gongyi family? Are you here to rescue the driver or to watch the show?"
As soon as the words fell, a standoff began to form in the entire hall.
This drama is really exciting to watch!
The brothers turned against each other, and the descendants of the Beimen family began to draw their swords and swing them against their brothers.
In addition, many guards rushed in and surrounded the place.
Yun Zhuan raised his eyebrows:
"He still has some skills. He knows how to control us first. Can the Emperor of Northern Chu escape this disaster today?"
Yu Qing was crackling melon seeds and didn't say anything for a long time. Even when the guards finally restrained the ministers, he was still like this:
"I think they are not smart. At this time, we have to kill the Northern Chu Emperor first, so that we can have time to fight for who will be the emperor!"
"How stupid!"
Indeed, Yu Qing hit the nail on the head.
The Emperor of Northern Chu ordered:
"Whoever comes to protect me will be the emperor!"
Yun Zhuan smiled and said:
"Your Majesty, why don't you look down there? Your sons are fighting, why don't you stop now?"
Within two sentences, several princes fell in a pool of blood, leaving only Beimen Que and Beimen Yin. Apart from them, the remaining princes were all young and were still curled up in their mothers' arms!
A long time ago, when Yun Zhuan hadn't gotten up yet, he placed a bet in Wenshan Mohai, which was to bet on Beimen Que to win!
Beimen Yin was very clear about this matter, so he looked deeply at his brother and then at Yun Zhuan.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on ascending the throne."
The Northern Chu Emperor was naturally enraged:
"What are you talking about! Beimen Yin, you unfilial son, I am not dead yet!"
Beimen Que drew his bow and shot an arrow, which pierced through the heart and lungs of the Northern Chu Emperor:
"Your Majesty, Father, you don't like me, but I long for your hammer every day. In the past, I never resented your thin belt, nor did I degenerate because of your disgust. I have always been making progress, but Your Majesty, you can't see it..."
"Father, you don't know that I have been walking on thin ice for so many years. Every day when I wake up, I will think about why you don't like me. You said that I lack the killing spirit and am not like you, so you threw me into the battlefield to fight with those enemies and beasts. Have you ever thought that I am still a child?"
"Time passed so quickly that I can't remember anything about the past. I only remember my mother looking at the moon with tears in her eyes, or crying while hugging me. Your Majesty, can you still remember a single thing about my mother? She loved you so much that she died in this deep palace, being schemed against by your concubines!"
"Of course you don't care. It was because of your neglect that my mother died. Your Majesty, have you ever dreamed of my mother crying?"
"It's been too long. I have been planning this for too long. You are a tyrant who doesn't care about your princes and princesses, let alone your subjects. You insist on having your own way and let us fight in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!"
Beimenque said this coldly:
"You never cared, but you were too proud and arrogant, so today will be the day you die!
Beimen Que raised the corner of his mouth, knelt on one knee and said:
"Your Majesty, please come to the funeral!"
Yun Zhuan was watching from the side, and for some reason he suddenly felt sympathy for the man in front of him. There were still traces of tears in the corners of his eyes, but the corners of his mouth were raised with a crazy smile:
"Mother, I will avenge you today!"
All the guards nearby knelt down:
"Your Majesty, please ascend the throne!"
"Your Majesty, please ascend the throne!"
Finally, only some important officials of the imperial court were left standing. Soon, Gong Yishu stepped forward, standing alone and unruly in the chaotic battlefield:
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to ascend the throne!"
Yun Zhuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this matter needed the approval of the powerful people from the aristocratic families. Only then could the title of His Majesty Bei Chu be truly worthy of it!
"His Majesty died suddenly. Prince Que, you are the most suitable successor. I, your humble servant, respectfully invite His Majesty to take the throne!"
All the ministers said so.
Beimen Que finally won the hearts of the people. He could appease the government and handle affairs internally, and he could repel and offset external forces to reassure the people!
"What do you mean?"
Yun Zhuan looked at Yu Qing with a smile:
"Go back and get all my things from Wenshan Mohai, and then we'll set off back!"
That’s a lot of money!
