"Hmph, that sounds nice. You are now criticizing my achievements here with a righteous attitude, but it's just because you want to cover up your own ambitions. When you come to power, I'm afraid you will be more wary than I am. Gu Shaoyu was able to help me get to power, and then turned around and joined you. If someone he thinks is more suitable appears in the future, I'm afraid he will leave even more decisively than he did today!"

"Just wait! Hahahaha, he's just a puppet. It won't take long for us to see his true face!"

The emperor became more and more excited as he spoke, and he pointed at Gu Shaoyu and shouted.

"I understand! What Prince Yin, what Prince Rong, what abdication edict, it's nothing more than creating an internal fight among our Xie family. Then he will sit back and reap the benefits. The world will belong to him!"

For a moment, a look of regret flashed across Gu Shaoyu's eyes.

He once thought that with the support of Prime Minister Guo, the emperor before him could achieve some political achievements, and then his running back and forth and protection would not be in vain.

But now, the grateful, modest and prudent prince had long become a thing of the past, and the one standing in front of him was just a madman who had been eroded by the imperial power and had long lost his normal thinking, so he didn't want to waste any more time.

He turned to the prince and asked.

"Since His Majesty is unwilling to write an abdication edict, then the prince will decide."

Hearing this, the prince nodded without hesitation, looked at the emperor with compassion in his eyes and said.

"Concubine Jia poisoned the current emperor and deserves death. Everyone in Dingping Marquis's mansion is a traitor. Fortunately, General Gu discovered it in time and has already punished them all. All the members of the Jia family are in prison, awaiting punishment!"

"yes!"

When he heard these words, the emperor gradually came to his senses from his crazy laughter. He looked at the two people looking down at him and felt quite lonely.

"We forced our father to abdicate in the beginning. Now it's my turn. Haha, I'll be watching from the underworld. Let's see how long you can keep your throne."

The prince glanced at the emperor and didn't say much. He put on a black cloak and left the bedroom.

As soon as he left, Gu Shaoyu naturally had to leave as well, but what the emperor did not expect was that the person who came in would be Eunuch Liu. He was still as humble and low-key as usual, but the seven or eight young eunuchs behind him looked like they were not someone to be trifled with.

"I am here to see your majesty off. I hope your majesty can ascend to heaven soon."

"It turned out to be you, this old villain! I am really blind. My father was killed by you! Now you are going to harm me again?"

Eunuch Liu was as calm as ever. He was not moved at all by these words. There was an unfathomable smile on his face, and then he spoke.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind to me. I am just a eunuch who follows orders. How could I possibly kill the emperor who holds the power of the world?"

"Whose family are you from? The Guo family? Or the Gu family?"

"This old slave has always been a member of the Daxing Dynasty. There is no doubt about that."

Eunuch Liu did not directly answer the emperor's question, but he did not want to say more, so he waved his whisk and spoke.

"Let's send our Majesty on his way."

"Yes, godfather."

After that, several young eunuchs walked over and pressed the emperor's hands and feet very quickly. Even though the emperor struggled hard, he was still forced to drink poisoned wine in the end.

The alcohol passed through his intestines and soon he rolled over in pain.

Eunuch Liu looked at the emperor's miserable appearance quietly, without any guilt or tension. It was not until the struggling emperor in front of him gradually calmed down that the young eunuch stepped forward and turned him over.

His lips were black and purple, and blood was coming out of all his orifices. He died in a truly miserable way.

"Go, tell General Gu that His Majesty has passed away, and that all those who need to be dealt with have been dealt with."

"Yes, godfather."

It snowed all night, and when the sky was beginning to lighten, news of the death of the emperor, Concubine Jia, the Imperial Noble Consort and the seventh prince came out one after another, causing a shock in the former court and the harem.

In Changchun Palace, Empress Yan sat quietly all night.

Their place had been sealed off by Gu Shaoyu's men a long time ago, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, so she had no idea what was going on outside. Now when she heard the news, she was surprised and excited.

"His Majesty is dead, the Imperial Concubine and the Seventh Prince are also dead. There is no one left to compete with my son for the throne! Hahahaha, I have finally made it!"

She was not sad at all about the emperor's death. The years of affection between husband and wife had long since vanished. If there was still a trace of friendship left, it was for the sake of her son's reputation. She would definitely handle the national funeral well.

"Come here, tell father that the outside momentum can be arranged. Now that His Majesty has passed away and no imperial edict has been left, my Prince Rong is the eldest and the legitimate heir, so he should inherit the throne! By the way, quickly summon my third brother back to the capital. With him around, I can feel at ease!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"My Lady, what about General Gu..."

"General Gu has worked hard and made great contributions, so he should be given a higher title. However, it is not a good thing to rely too much on him. After all, he is a ruthless person. I was given the title of Changchun Palace just because I said so. If he becomes too powerful in the future, I am afraid it will affect the imperial power."

Queen Yan sat in her bedroom and thought about everything.

But she didn't expect that the other princes outside the palace were now "forced" to hand over their power and were quietly waiting to be dealt with.

Prince Rong's Palace.

When Prince Rong saw that the visitors were the Prince of Yinzhou and Gu Shaoyu, he already understood what was going on. He was not as crazy as the emperor, nor as whimsical as Queen Yan. He seemed very calm.

He just looked at Gu Shaoyu silently and spoke softly.

"What is the reason why General Gu did not choose me?"

He believed that he also cared about the people. Although he was young, he was also working hard to achieve political achievements. He had imagined many things, especially after he ascended the throne, how he would drastically change the style of government and bring Daxing to a more complete and outstanding state.

But now, the appearance of the two of them basically announced the end of his life, so before he died, he wanted to ask clearly why Gu Shaoyu would rather choose Prince Yin and bear the crime of treason than directly assist him, the legitimate Prince Rong, to ascend the throne! Gu Shaoyu stepped forward and answered with clear and firm eyes.

"It's a good thing that Prince Rong is kind, but if you can't even protect your own children, how can you protect the people?"

With just one sentence, Prince Rong completely lost hope.

Yes, his only child, who had the opportunity to see everything in this world, died just like that when he was just born, and he couldn't even find the murderer. What else can he talk about? (End of this chapter)
