Chapter 643 I will never pass the throne to you even if I die
Chu Chengli raised his eyebrows unmoved and sneered, "Father, you forced me to do this. Just because his biological mother, Queen Yao, is the woman you loved, you want to make Chu Jinyan the crown prince. Then what about my mother? What does that mean to me? And what does a son of yours mean to me?"
"I'm going to kill you."
"Kill me? Father, please think about yourself first. I have prepared the imperial edict to pass on the throne. I am just waiting for you to take out the imperial seal."
"You're dreaming." Emperor Chengde said hatefully.
He was drugged and felt weak all over, even speaking was extremely difficult for him.
Hu Qian was stabbed by Chu Chengli because he was protecting him, and fell to the ground, his life or death unknown.
However, his adopted son Hu Liang stood behind Chu Chengli humbly.
Emperor Chengde felt a sharp pain in his blood and almost passed out from breathing.
He really underestimated the second brother and actually bribed Hu Liang without knowing it. As Hu Qian's adopted son, he was almost the number one person in the Palace of Heavenly Purity after Hu Qian, and he was not on guard against him.
I didn't even think about the Tao.
"Father, do you still expect Chu Jinyan to save you at this time? Whether it is the palace or the entire capital, I have already controlled it. You have no power to resist at all?"
“Even if you let the Song family become his reliance and he subdues Shen Man, it will be useless. Both the Shen and Song families are trapped by General Lu of the Western Jin Dynasty and cannot escape.”
"Your son advises you to be more sensible. Otherwise, if you force me into a corner, I might make your father suffer."
Emperor Chengde was so angry that he was shaking all over, his eyes almost bloodshot: "You beast, you dare to collude with foreign enemies to kill your father and rebel, are you worthy of our ancestors, are you worthy of the Wei Dynasty?"
Chu Chengli's expression suddenly turned ferocious when he heard this, and he roared, "I am just trying to take back everything that belongs to me. Since you, my father, are unfair, you can't blame me for using extraordinary means. As long as I can get the throne, what does it matter if I conspire with others? In the future, the Wei Dynasty will be ruled by me, your son. Who dares to say no to me?"
"I will never pass the throne to you even if I die."
"Xiao Liangzi, search." Chu Chengli ordered slowly, "The Imperial Study and the Palace of Heavenly Purity, there are only these two places."
"Yes, Second Prince." Xiao Liangzi responded and immediately took people to search the imperial study.
Emperor Chengde's sinister eyes seemed to want to swallow Hu Liang: "You little slave, Hu Qian treated you like his own son, but you actually betrayed me."
Hu Liang lowered his head and walked away hurriedly.
If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. The Second Prince promised him the position of Chief Eunuch of the Imperial Palace, and he just found a better way out.
Chu Chengli sat down on the chair, a cruel and bloodthirsty look flashed across his eyes, which was shocking.
Once he got the imperial seal, he could ascend the throne legitimately, saving a lot of trouble.
But if they can't find it, he and Liu Xiang have another way to go.
If he hasn't given the signal at the hour of Yin, Prime Minister Liu and General Lu outside the palace will send troops into the palace.
The Queen Mother trapped the families of the ministers in the court. With these hostages in hand, things could be done more efficiently.
Even if there was no decree of succession at that time, no one would dare to oppose him taking the throne. However, it would eventually leave people with criticism, so it was not the best idea.
…
It was midnight, the night was very deep, and the sky was as dark as ink, even a trace of starlight was obscured.
At the gate of Jingyun, a eunuch waved the token belonging to the Cining Palace in his hand, and the guards immediately let him pass.
