"The guard is drunk this morning. Xuanwu Gate is under the control of the prince today!" Chen Jie looked down at Chu Xun.
Chu Xun looked around cautiously, hoping for reinforcements.
Chen Jie used the tip of his sword to pick up the Buddhist beads on his neck, extinguishing the hope in his heart, "The Yongning Marquisate participated in the rebellion of Prince Chen and is now surrounded and suppressed by the Imperial Censorate!"
“You…you guys…” Chu Xun was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and cursed, “Chen Jie, you, the prince’s lackey, deserve to be paired with a slut like Du Yaoyao! That whore, with big breasts and a soft vagina, is so slutty that she begs men for oral sex…”
Hatred burned his eyes red, and Chu Xun only wanted to slander Shen Jie desperately.
"Snap", the rope of the Buddhist beads was cut by the sword and rolled to the ground. The sword wind brought by Chen Jie swept away a strand of Chu Xun's long hair, and the sharp blade pointed directly at his throat.
"A man like you who has been eunuch, you should stop complaining about sour grapes!" He thrust his sword an inch further, and blood started to flow from Chu Xun's throat. "Madam Yushi, you are the woman you should never dream of in your life!"
“Hahahaha…” Chu Xun laughed crazily, “Do you know that I almost—”
Chen Jie drew his sword, placed it across his neck, and lifted it up with great force. A stream of blood spurted out, and Chu Xun's head rolled to the ground.
He picked up the head calmly and ordered the guards, "Prince Chen rebelled and rebelled, and he shall be executed according to the law. His body shall be hung at Xuanwu Gate and exposed for three days to serve as a warning to others!"
–
Chen Jie carried Chu Xun's head and stepped into the Taiji Hall. Chu Zheng was kneeling in front of the dragon couch and apologizing to the emperor.
"Prince Chen rebelled at Xuanwu Gate, and I sent troops to surrender. I did not report this to your father in time. Please punish me."
He knelt down on the steps, lowered his head and said, "In order to prevent Your Majesty from being frightened, I have come to protect you." As he said this, he placed the head on the ground and showed it to everyone.
The emperor had already heard from the eunuch that Prince Chen was killed by the crown prince and his troops. At this moment, seeing Chu Xun's hideous face and blood oozing from his neck, he couldn't help but feel sad and frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
The Crown Prince is virtuous, while the Prince of Chen is domineering and arrogant. The two have been fighting openly and secretly for the position of crown prince for a long time. The emperor has always turned a blind eye. Although he wants to favor Prince Chen, he can't find an excuse to depose the crown prince.
Yesterday, the Crown Prince presented evidence of Prince Chen's affair with a palace concubine. The Emperor wanted to take the matter seriously and then let it go, but unexpectedly Chu Xun was so impatient that he gave the Crown Prince evidence of his affair. Perhaps the prince had tolerated Chu Xun for a long time and planned to kill his brother today.
Is it possible that a prince who dares to kill his brother is afraid of killing his father?
The emperor looked at the two rulers and ministers who were singing the same tune and coughed a few times with difficulty.
"The Crown Prince has made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion, so he should be rewarded, not punished. The Prince of Chen is arrogant and has done nothing for the court, so he doesn't want to repent."
"Pass on my order. The Crown Prince is a man of both civil and military skills, wise and brave. From today on, I will hand over the government affairs to the Crown Prince. From now on, all military and court affairs, big or small, will be decided by the Crown Prince and then reported to the emperor!"
Chu Zheng declined in fear, "Father, this is absolutely not allowed..."
The emperor covered his mouth and coughed, "I am seriously ill, the prince needs to share the worries of the country..." His face was calm, half true and half false, "This is also my father's wish."
Chu Zheng made a reluctant expression and had to obey, "In this case, I have no choice but to obey your order."
After the matter of Prince Chen was settled, Chen Jie turned to Chu Zheng and asked for orders: "Although Prince Chen is dead, Prince Chen's Mansion and his rebels are still there. Please make a decision as soon as possible, Prince!"
