Chapter 296: Execute the False Emperor and Kill the Corrupt Officials

Zhao Yuanlang's ears suddenly twitched a few times. There was some excitement outside the imperial city. As expected, someone was impatient and wanted to cause trouble. Zhao Yuanlang looked at Liu Hui grimly and smiled a few times, which frightened the surrounding military officials and made them look at him anxiously.

In particular, Wei Li, the Deputy Military Minister, grabbed Zhao Yuanlang's hand implicitly, signaling him not to do anything to kill the entire nine clans.

“Report!!!!”

At this time, several captains led several soldiers and rushed over. Everyone was very surprised. What was going on?

"Reporting to all the lords! Prince Zhongyi and the Crown Prince have rebelled! Prince Zhongshun has been hanged under the city, and they are leading a large number of troops to attack the imperial city!"

"How is this possible!" This was like a bolt from the blue, causing the Cabinet Prime Minister, Mr. Zhang, to faint. Fortunately, Ma Donglin beside him helped him to stabilize himself.

Wei Li, the deputy minister of the cabinet, shouted in panic, "It's impossible. How could the old Prince Zhongyi come out? Didn't Prince Zhongshun go to the manor outside the city to keep a close watch on him?"

"Reporting to the lord, yes, yes, yes..." The captain did not dare to continue.

"Go on." The fourth prince Yuanshou frowned and scolded sternly.

"Reporting to all the lords, the four princes of Dongping, Nan'an, Xining, and Beijing were beside Prince Zhongyi. They should have rescued Prince Zhongyi."

"Don't panic. There are three to four thousand defenders in the palace. They can't break in for a while. Lord Ma, please mobilize your men to rush to the palace gate for support." Wei Li hurriedly said to Ma Donglin, the Minister of the Imperial Guard.

Ma Donglin nodded solemnly, and immediately led a number of guards and soldiers towards the palace gate.

"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, please take charge of the situation and stabilize the palace."

But something strange happened suddenly. Concubine Zhou, who was originally standing behind Yuanchun, suddenly pushed Yuanchun and the Queen in front of her away, took out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed Yuanshou.

Everyone was shocked, and before the guards could move forward, Yuanshou dodged Concubine Zhou's assassination without panic, and then pushed Concubine Zhou to the ground.

"Ah!" What no one expected was that Yuanshou, who had been confident of victory, suddenly screamed. He staggered forward two steps, turned around and looked at the eunuch behind him in surprise.

"Xia Shouzhong, you, you!" Zhang Yuheng was frightened.

Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of the six palaces, commanded several young eunuchs to restrain the queen and Yuanshou, who had been stabbed with a dagger, and smiled grimly: "How long are you waiting? Why don't you take action!"

Sure enough, countless soldiers rushed out from both sides of the hall, led by none other than Duke Hu Zhao Yi, who had been imprisoned at home and demoted to a commoner. He was followed by a group of palace guards who had made great contributions to the Yuan Dynasty. They had red scarves wrapped around their arms and with cold eyes they directed the soldiers to surround the square in front of the hall.

Soon, some officials also tied red scarves on their arms without any concealment. Among them were the Minister of War, Duke of Chen Liu Hui, and the Minister of Works Tong Zhuyun. Zhang Yuheng, Wei Li, and Zhou Shi all had bitter expressions on their faces. Unexpectedly, nearly half of the officials did so.

"Execute the false emperor and kill the corrupt officials."

They shouted slogans and imprisoned the ministers. Liu Hui led a group of people to the palace gate, and with the help of both inside and outside forces, they welcomed the old loyal prince and others in.

The old loyal prince walked over slowly. His steps were slow but firm. Behind him were four princes, Duke of Chen Liu Hui and a group of ministers.

Zhang Yuheng, Wei Li, Zhou Shi and others all looked bitter. The Fourteenth Prince, the younger brother of Emperor Kangzheng, finally came out. Looking at the current situation, the capital was finished.

"Sister-in-law, let me see him."

The queen looked sad and desperate, and nodded helplessly.

"You all come in."

After hearing the words of the old loyal prince, countless ministers walked up the stairs and stood at the door.

Emperor Kang Zheng was lying on the dragon bed in the main hall, looking at the old loyal prince who walked in with half-open eyes.

"I'm here, fourth brother, you never expected it." The old loyal prince slowly sat on the dragon bed and looked at his brother.

"I should have expected it earlier. Old Thirteen really can't beat you, ahem."

"There's no point in saying these things. You couldn't defeat us many years ago. If you hadn't cheated and killed my dear Saker Falcon, you wouldn't have been the emperor." The old loyal prince said with narrowed eyes.

"There's no point in saying this." Emperor Kang Zheng turned his head with difficulty, not looking at the old Prince Zhongyi.

"How can it be meaningless? After the fall of the second brother, the only one who had hope of ascending the throne was the eighth brother. You endured it and slowly gathered power, and then the emperor brought you out to compete with the eighth brother. In the end, you cheated and made the eighth brother fall out of favor, which allowed me to gain the greatest power. It's a pity for our father. He knew that the essence of power lies in military power, but he transferred me to the northwest and then chose you to be the emperor. He didn't want him, the emperor emeritus, to lose power and military power and be counterattacked by his son, me."

"Ahem, Old Fourteen, you see it very clearly."

"Yeah, it was only after I was imprisoned for ten years that I figured it out. If I didn't have such a high prestige in the army, I might have ascended the throne long ago. It's ridiculous to say that these people under my command were pushed by our father to fight with you for so many years, and you have been living a very miserable life! Hahahaha!"

What he said was true. Most of the people who made great contributions to the Yuan Dynasty, including Duke of Chen Liu Hui, served under the command of the great general Wang, the old prince of loyalty and righteousness, when they fought in the northwest.

Emperor Kang Zheng didn't want to say anything, but slowly closed his eyes.

"Jia Mu! Come in!"

The old loyal prince suddenly spoke.

Zhao Yuanlang walked in slowly: "Greetings, General, and Your Majesty!"

At this title, the military ministers in the palace and the bedridden Emperor Kangzheng all changed their expressions.

"I should have thought of it earlier, I should have thought of it earlier!" Emperor Kang Zheng's eyes seemed to want to eat Zhao Yuanlang.

Even Duke Chen Liu Hui and other descendants of the old loyal prince were stunned. They originally wanted to kill Zhao Yuanlang when they killed the treacherous ministers, but now you are one of them?

No wonder! No wonder why they didn't encounter any resistance in the capital and went straight to the palace.

"When you ascended the throne, it was a clever move by your father, but in the end, it was my dark horse that defeated you, the veteran."

Wei Li, Zhang Yuheng and others then remembered that Zhao Yuanlang was disliked by the retired emperor and thrown to the Mobei Camp, and the old loyal prince happened to be the commander of the northwest and in control of the Mobei Camp.

"I didn't expect that. No wonder there was no unusual movement in the entire capital. It seems that you did it." Emperor Kang Zheng stared at Zhao Yuanlang.

"It's a trivial matter, Your Majesty. I won't tell you where Eunuch Su went. I'll leave him some dignity for you. After you die, I'll send him to serve you loyally."

"It's you, Dai Quan!" Emperor Kang Zheng looked grimly at his trusted eunuch who was standing in front of the dragon bed with his head lowered and his ears submissive.

"Your Majesty, this is not my fault. It was that little bastard who got involved with the Fourth Prince so early on and even prepared to kill me for my position."

Emperor Kang Zheng shook his head helplessly and took a few breaths with difficulty.
