Lu Cang also knew that it was a bit hasty to force the emperor to abdicate suddenly, but he was confident in his own ability. Replacing an emperor was just a matter of raising his hand.
His Lu family would never be a traitor, but who would sit on the throne would be decided by him, Lu Cang.
The Ministry of War mobilized the Bingmasi to guard the city gates and at the same time controlled the possibility of other noble families entering the palace to rescue the emperor. Dong Changrui controlled the emperor. He only needed to bring some people into the palace to make the emperor write the imperial edict to pass on the throne.
He was not planning to kill the emperor today. With Princess Xuanyang's rumors, if the emperor really died, it would probably confirm his stigma of treason. So he did not plan to let Xiao Jingyun die, but wanted him to write an edict to pass the throne to Prince Chen, and then guard the imperial tomb.
As long as Xiao Jingyun did not die in the palace, who would care about the life or death of a deposed emperor in the imperial mausoleum?
However, once he started, Lu Cang realized that he had thought it was too simple.
A deputy general of the Bingmasi took the emperor's golden order and killed the commander and Shao Wanfeng (the Minister of War), while the Bingmasi did not move at all.
Dong Changrui brought the Dark Scale Guards to support, but the emperor had been replaced long ago, and Dong Changrui was captured instead. The Dark Scale Guards only recognized the token, and without the token, none of the Dark Scale Guards moved.
Then the Wang family and others appeared with the emperor and confronted him directly in front of the golden palace.
Now he has become a traitor, and the group of people on the opposite side are cursing him passionately with spit flying everywhere.
Until this moment, Lu Cang was still not panicked.
He admitted that everything that happened today was beyond his control and caused him a lot of trouble, but he still had the biggest trump card. As long as he took it out, Xiao Jingyun would have to roll down the throne without him having to do anything.
He was born a legitimate prince and has been emperor for so many years, it is time for him to give up the throne.
"Your Majesty." Lu Cang still maintained his condescending attitude, like a ruthless judge: "As long as you write an imperial edict to abdicate now, this old minister can give you a decent break for the sake of the late emperor."
Knowing clearly that none of Lu Cang's reinforcements had arrived and that he was currently in the upper hand, would Xiao Jingyun write an edict just because of a few threats from him?
It's simply a fantasy.
"Lu Cang, as long as you kneel down and surrender immediately, I can spare your life for the sake of my father."
Xiao Jingyun, not knowing that Lu Cang was still holding his vital point, fought back arrogantly.
After being suppressed by Lu Cang for so many years, he has never felt so proud. From now on, he will never be bullied by Lu Cang again.
Lu Cang looked at the ignorant lunatic with a heavy gaze. After doing his utmost, he finally passed judgment on him: "That year, the Queen Mother gave birth to a daughter..."
"Bang!"
There was a loud explosion, which startled everyone.
I looked around blankly, as if nothing had happened.
"Ah, Lord Lu, what's wrong with you?"
"Master Lu is injured!"
Lu Cang fell down with the explosion, and blood gushed out of his heart.
The general instantly identified the direction of the sound and pointed to the wall on one side: "The assassin is there!"
"Bang!"
There was another shot, this one was much more accurate than the previous one, and it directly blew off a general's head.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The five bullets were not aimed at all, but were aimed at Lu Cang's side, randomly selecting a lucky person.
After the bullets were used up, Xiao Li didn't even bother to dismantle the gun and just left with the gun.
By the time the generals behind her caught up with her, she had already fled to the hiding place she had found long ago.
At this moment, only Yang Jun was with her. When Xiao Li fired the first shot, Yang Jun was dumbfounded. Such a long distance, such a fierce explosion, this unprecedented hidden weapon suddenly made him think of the previous assassination of the prince consort.
Could it be that the person who assassinated the prince consort was the princess?
Before he could figure it out, Xiao Li had already beaten him and ran away with him.
At this moment, the two of them were hiding in a secret door, and he felt that his heartbeat was louder than the footsteps outside.
His heart was stuck in his throat, his nerves were tense, and he didn't dare to breathe deeply.
And at such a tense moment, he heard a rustling sound.
Although it was very quiet, he could hear the sound of metal colliding. He was very familiar with this sound. Just now on the palace wall, the princess opened the box, took out the things inside and assembled them. It was this sound.
“Pah.”
The box was closed, and the princess must have unpacked and put it away.
Yang Jun's heart gradually calmed down with that voice. The princess was really beyond his expectations. How could she have such a powerful weapon?
However, as a qualified subordinate, he couldn't ask unless the princess said it.
I stuck my head against the door and listened carefully, but there seemed to be no footsteps outside.
He didn't speak immediately, but listened vigilantly until he was sure that there was really no one outside. Then he carefully opened a gap and went out to look around.
"Princess, there's no one here right now."
Xiao Li threw the gun into the secret door and swaggered out with Yang Jun.
Lu Cang was seriously injured, and two of the people he brought with him were killed and two were injured. The emperor immediately seized the opportunity to counterattack and finally won the victory.
All Xiao Li wanted was the result of Lu Cang and Prince Chen's failure. As long as they failed, the follow-up would be none of her business. However, she still had to go and see the emperor.
The battlefield was still being cleaned up in the Golden Palace. The emperor and his ministers were inside, and a group of people were discussing the punishment for King Chen and Lu Cang.
Lu Cang was seriously injured but not dead. Even if the emperor won, he would just imprison all of them in the Sky Prison.
The emperor could clearly take this opportunity to execute the people directly, but he was still here discussing with a group of people how to convict Lu Cang and others.
Xiao Li: “…” This group of useless teammates should all die at Lu Cang’s hands.
