The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Following behind the soldiers was a middle-aged man in a dragon robe, and next to the middle-aged man in the dragon robe was a young man in a brocade robe.

Looking at the two of them, the Third Prince and a group of court officials' faces changed slightly, and the Third Prince even shouted angrily.

"Uncle Ling, what do you mean by this?" At this point, he looked at the young man in brocade clothes beside him and asked coldly, "Brother, are you planning to rebel?"

The people who came were Prince Ling and the eldest prince Li Shen. Li Zhe looked at his elder brother with deep anger in his eyes.

"Rebellion?! Third brother, you are wrong. This prince only wants to clear the court of emperors. If it weren't for you, how could Daxi fall into such a situation? You should be held responsible for your actions."

The eldest prince Li Shen snorted coldly and approached Li Zhe step by step with murderous intent in his eyes.

When the ministers at the side saw this, they all stepped back and some even knelt down. Prince Ling looked at the others coldly with murderous intent in his eyes.

Li Zhe looked at his brother approaching him and retreated back in fear. The reason why he dared to be so arrogant just now was that he still had hopeful ideas, but now, no one came to kill him.

All he could say was that his guards had either rebelled or all those who were loyal to him had died. He had no one to rely on.

He opened his mouth and begged for mercy: "Brother, let's talk it over. Father has passed away, so why don't you be the emperor and I will just be an idle prince!"

Hearing this, Li Shen looked at Li Ze coldly. He smiled viciously and stabbed a knife into Li Ze's heart.

"My brother wants the throne, but I can't keep you! Because I don't trust you. Although you are a fool who can't do anything good and can only cause trouble, you are still of royal blood and you can't guarantee that you won't be used by others!"

"So, my royal brother, I beg you to die!" With a cold smile, Li Shen retracted the long sword, and in the shocked eyes of everyone, he cut off Li Ze's head with one blow.

Li Ze would never have thought until his death that after his father died, he was beheaded by his own brother before he even had the chance to sit on the throne!

If Guan Yizhi had not died, perhaps his brother would not have dared to act so recklessly. But with the death of Guan Yizhi, hundreds of thousands of troops were lost in Dayan, and those court officials who wanted Li Ze to take the throne had already had different ideas.

Without Guan Yizhi, what else can Li Ze do besides eating, drinking, whoring and gambling? The eldest prince who was suppressed by him also launched a coup with the support of Prince Ling.

When several ministers on the side saw this scene, they immediately knelt down and shouted, "Long live the emperor!" and "Please invite the eldest prince to ascend the throne."

Faced with such a situation, they had to make a choice. If they did not surrender at this time, they would be dead.

However, just when the eldest prince was full of pride, Prince Ling behind him suddenly had a fierce light in his eyes. He chopped at the eldest prince's head with a knife.

In front of everyone's stunned gaze, the eldest prince's head was chopped off. He died before he even started to realize his dream of becoming emperor! The court officials present did not understand what had happened.

It is obvious that Prince Ling supports the eldest prince and even helps him launch a mutiny. But now that it has succeeded, Prince Ling suddenly attacks. What does this mean?

The court officials who reacted immediately knelt down before Prince Ling, shouting "Long live Prince Ling".

Prince Ling looked at this group of ministers without integrity, and there was disappointment in his eyes. No wonder the Daxi Dynasty had come to such an end. With such a group of ministers, what else could they do except flattering the emperor?

If they had not instigated the Western Emperor's troops to attack Dayan, how could the current situation have occurred?

Actually, it's quite a pity. If Jiang Fan hadn't appeared out of nowhere, this time, the Daxi Dynasty might have really been able to conquer Dayan.

But now it doesn't matter anymore, the Great Western Dynasty is facing the crisis of extinction. No matter which prince inherits the throne, it is inevitable that a bloody battle will be triggered.

The entire Shangjing City might be devastated. Now, the Dashi Dynasty is under attack from all sides. If it wants to survive intact, it can no longer waste time on internal conflicts.

Prince Ling glanced at the fawning ministers and winked at the soldiers beside him. The soldiers immediately understood. They rushed over and started to kill the ministers.

In less than a quarter of an hour, blood splattered all over the palace. Eight people including two princes, six ministers, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace were all killed.

At this point, only the people brought by Prince Ling knew what happened in the emperor's bedroom.

Prince Ling looked at the emperor's body on the bed with a complicated look in his eyes. His elder brother almost ruined the country of Daxi.

"Announce to the public that the late emperor has passed away. The third and first princes launched a mutiny to fight for the throne, and both sides died together. The six regents were affected and all died."

Prince Ling said calmly to the general beside him.

Following his voice, the other party nodded, hurried out of the palace, and shouted to the outside world.

At the same time, some eunuchs and palace maids were taken into the palace to clean up the mess. Prince Ling looked at the east gate with regret and complexity in his eyes.

He led his soldiers and quickly headed towards the east gate. Soon, he arrived outside the city gate in front of the east gate and had the gate opened. He took a deep breath and led his men out of the city gate.

Outside the city, the Jingnan Army who were on guard saw the open city gate and immediately became alert. When they were preparing for a big battle, they saw only a team of ten people coming out of the city.

The lieutenant on night watch immediately had someone report the matter to Situ Yun. When he heard that a team of ten people had come out of the city, Situ Yun frowned, his eyes full of confusion.

When the team arrived in front of the tent, a soldier came forward to report.

"Tell your Marshal Situ that Prince Ling wants to see him!"

Upon hearing this, the captain who was blocking the road glanced at the team of ten people in front of him, turned around and went to the general's tent to inform Situ Yun about the matter.

"Father, what happened that made Prince Ling come to see me at this time?!" Situ Wuji's eyes were filled with surprise.

Prince Ling has some friendship with his father and they have a good relationship. Now, they are besieging the city, and Prince Ling comes here at this time. Does he want to negotiate peace?

"No matter what he wants, since he's here, let's meet him!" Situ Yun frowned when he heard this.

Soon, Prince Ling was brought into the tent. When he saw Situ Yun, Prince Ling waved to the people behind him.

While Situ and his two sons were astonished, the people behind them presented eight wooden boxes, in which were placed the heads of two princes and six court officials.

Seeing this scene, Situ Yun's face changed slightly, and he quickly looked at Prince Ling. Situ Wuji and Situ Wushuang on the side were a little dumbfounded.

They never thought that Prince Ling was here to deliver heads. Not only the heads of the two princes, but also those of the six regents.
