These words gave everyone strength, and they responded in unison: "Yes! Your Highness Prince Xuan, we swear to follow you to the death, and we will fight to the very last moment!"
Yun Xun went to the side hall.
The glance he exchanged with Yun Zhuo just now reminded him of his two children. They were in the side hall, having slept for a while when they were brought here from the emperor's bedroom.
But soon they were awakened by the sounds of fighting outside. The older brother quickly coaxed his younger brother to sleep and then stayed by his side.
Yun Xun and Yun Yinzhou's clear and firm eyes met, and he smiled. His eldest son was known as a child prodigy in the capital, a stark contrast to Yun Zhaolin, the eldest son of the Crown Prince's family, who was a fool!
If those people outside don't choose him, who else can they choose?
...
Outside the Zichen Palace, archers and guards had already surrounded it, and everything was ready.
Zhuang Xin and Zhan Shuang couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, when will we attack and break in?"
Everyone else was also looking at Yun Zhuo. All that was left was this final attack. Once they captured Yun Xun, everything would be settled.
Zhang Xubai, General Lan, and others approached Yun Zhuo and said, "Your Highness, it's time!"
Yun Zhuo didn't want to delay any longer, and in fact there was nothing left to delay, so he decided to finish the battle quickly!
He raised his hand, about to beckon everyone to come up, when suddenly a child's tender voice came from inside the hall!
He was reciting poetry.
The poem he recited was:
"Although he has five sons, none of them are good at writing or pens."
Ashu is already 28, and her laziness is unparalleled.
Yong Duan was thirteen years old and did not know the difference between six and seven.
On such a night, in the Zichen Palace surrounded by layers of guards, the child's innocent voice was so clear and bright, every word falling directly into everyone's ears, making everyone tremble.
The ministers, in particular, were stunned.
Who doesn't know that the Crown Prince's eldest son is mentally challenged? The poem recited by the Second Prince's grandson is exactly saying that the Crown Prince's son is dull and mentally challenged.
A commotion arose among the officials, and then the second grandson's voice rang out again, this time saying:
When will this foolish child be enlightened?
He chuckled foolishly in the empty courtyard, unaware of the value of books.
If the crown prince is to be chosen as such an heir,
The nation and its people are in danger of collapse.
As the child finished speaking, Yun Xun walked to the main entrance of the Zichen Palace again and appeared in everyone's sight.
He smiled and said, "Have you all heard that because the Crown Prince is unfit to be the heir apparent, his eldest son is an idiot? This is a warning from Heaven!"
This...this...
The ministers were anxious. They had indeed heard this claim, and the Crown Prince's eldest son was indeed mentally challenged!
The royal son is blessed by heaven, so why is the child an idiot? Prince Xuan is right, it must be a warning from heaven, proving that the crown prince is unfit to be the heir apparent!
Seeing their reaction, Yun Xun was satisfied and continued, "Heaven has already sent down a warning. If you all continue to support the Crown Prince to sit on the throne today, the Great Zhou Dynasty will collapse in the future, the people will suffer, and all of you present will become sinners for all time!"
"Ah, that's right!" Immediately, a minister stepped forward, walked out of the guards' protective circle, and headed towards the Zichen Palace.
Yun Zhuo did not stop him, and no one around moved, letting him walk up the steps and turn to face everyone.
"His Highness Prince Xuan is right. The eldest grandson of the emperor is a fool. It is indeed a warning from heaven! Gentlemen, for the sake of the Great Zhou's century-long rule, let us stand on His Highness Prince Xuan's side!"
"Everyone heard the poem just now. The Second Prince is truly a child prodigy. If it weren't for Heaven's will, how could a child prodigy be born in the Xuan Prince's residence and a fool be born in the Crown Prince's residence? His Highness Xuan Prince is the chosen one!"
The murmurs among the crowd grew louder, and many began to waver; even among the guards, there were signs of unrest.
For many people, the belief in ghosts and gods is sometimes far more powerful than the power of swords and blades!
And coincidentally, Yun Zhaolin's idiocy and Yun Yinzhou's intelligence were obvious to all!
Yun Zhuo tightened his grip on the sword in his hand, his gaze sharp as a blade!
Looking at everyone's reactions, Yun Xun felt a sense of victory in sight. He smiled, a very happy smile.
“Crown Prince, lay down your weapons and surrender with your men! When Heaven sent the prodigy into my Xuanwang Mansion, it was destined that I would kill the wicked emperor and sit on the throne of the Great Zhou!”
"If you surrender, brother, I can spare your entire family of three for the sake of our brotherhood!"
They were simply imprisoned for life.
"Surrender? Surrender to you?" A woman's cold voice came from outside the layers of guards, sharp as a sword piercing the sky.
"You who couldn't even protect your own queen, you beast who dared to kill your father and king, do you think you deserve our surrender?"
It was Ye Qingxue. She shielded Xiaobao in front of her and rode up. The guards quickly made way for her.
