Not long after, a soldier ran in from outside, knelt down in the hall, and said: "Marshal Qi said that most of the palace has been cleared, Your Highness can go."

"Okay!" The fifth prince stood up solemnly, his expression unable to hide the ecstasy, "Everyone, come with me!"

"Yes!" In the hall, other people who looked like counselors cupped their hands one after another, and Du Qingchen and Du Rulin also hurriedly followed.

The fifth prince didn't dislike the fact that it was still raining outside, and when he got on the horse, the raindrops hit his armor, splashing small pieces of water, "Drive!" The fifth prince clamped his horse's belly, even a little bit ignorant of the literati advisers behind him They were the first to leave the gate of the mansion.

Du Qingchen stepped into the rain bravely and followed everyone on horseback. He found that even Du Rulin was better at riding a horse than him, which made him feel depressed.

"Ru Lin, slow down!" Du Qingchen forced himself to straighten his back, bit the bullet and kept up with the large army. These literati were also so crazy when they rode their horses, they almost galloped on their horses.

"Brother, are you okay?" Du Rulin slowed down.

"Why are you running so fast? You too!" Du Qingchen muttered in a low voice. Fortunately, they fell behind and no one paid attention to the urging.

Du Rulin paused, "Rites, music, imperial numbers, calligraphy, and archery, all scholars must be able to..." He also learned it, but Du Qingchen only learned a little bit when he was bored. Without serious training, he can only be considered good at it. Riding a horse, running wildly through the night, really made things difficult for him.

Du Qingchen stopped talking and tried his best to keep up with the team.

In front, the fifth prince has already seen Qi Cheng, and in front, they are fighting one-sidedly.

"Your Highness!" Qi Cheng clasped his fists and saluted.

"Have you caught the third child?" The fifth prince asked directly. In the entire palace, he was the only one who cared most about him. The others, whether it was the eighth prince or the emperor, could only be resigned to fate in the bedroom.

Qi Cheng frowned, "Your Highness, it's very strange... The third prince has never appeared, but the person who fought with us is indeed from the third prince's residence."

The fifth prince's expression darkened, "Take a living and ask."

"Yes!" Qi Cheng went in person.

When Du Qingchen arrived, the atmosphere was gloomy and terrifying, and the fifth prince said with a dark face: "Are you sure the third child hasn't shown up?!"

"Yes!" A young general who was held by Qi Cheng and knelt on the ground bowed his head: "After the third prince passed an order saying that the imperial guards in the palace were under his control, he went to visit other palace gates, but since then, he has never People have seen him, the reason why we lost so quickly is also because the third prince is not around, and there is no one to command."

No one spoke, except for the sound of the rain and the fifth prince's heavy breathing, "Go and find it, life or death!" The fifth prince gritted his teeth.

"Yes!" The soldiers immediately dispersed and rushed out.

Where did the third prince go?Du Qingchen raised his eyebrows. According to what he knew about the third prince, it was impossible for him to run away before the fight started. That person is quite arrogant!Moreover, if the third prince is not in the palace, how can the fifth prince accuse him of treason? !

After all calculations, who would have thought that the third prince, who should be waiting in the palace to take the blame, is not in the palace!Du Qingchen bowed his head and remained silent like everyone else.

The fifth prince was silent for a moment, and said: "Go to the bedroom and see if Father is well."

"Everyone hurriedly rode their horses to follow, but they didn't dare to follow too closely.

At this moment in the bedroom, the blood-stained guard knelt beside the emperor's bed and said, "Your Majesty, the third prince has disappeared, and the fifth prince has already come to the bedroom."

The emperor sneered, his expression was not panic, he could even sit up, and turned his eyes to Liu Tai, "Look, my good sons!" Throne!

The imperial doctor supported the emperor with trembling hands, not daring to breathe, because the emperor at this moment was just returning to the light.

Liu Tai lowered his head, and calmly advised: "That's fine, when the fifth prince arrives, he will take out the imperial edict to pass on the throne to him. I think the fifth prince will definitely not hurt His Majesty and the eighth prince."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to wait, Xiaoba."

"Father..." The eighth prince tugged at the emperor's sleeve with tears in his eyes.

"From now on, only Xiao Ba will be left alone. Remember, you have to listen to your elder brother Liu Tai and stay far away from the capital, you know?"

"Understood, father, woo woo woo..." The Eighth Prince sobbed softly.

Outside the bedroom, the imperial guards surrounded the bedroom tightly, holding their swords vigilantly at the fifth prince and his party.

The fifth prince raised his hand to signal the crowd to stop, knelt at the gate of the palace and raised his voice: "I beg to see my father! The third prince intends to rebel, forced the palace in the middle of the night, kidnapped the king, and my minister came to rescue him!"

There was silence, only the sound of rain.

The fifth prince got up by himself, "The third prince has been executed! How dare you do anything to me?!"

The imperial guards glanced at each other, but they couldn't hold the sword in their hands. They had been guarding the bedroom, only hearing the sound of fighting outside, and they didn't expect that the third prince had disappeared. They only thought that the fifth prince could come here, it was the third The reason why the prince lost, in this case, there are only two princes, the fifth prince and the eighth prince. Looking at this posture, who can't tell which prince will succeed in the future?To start at this moment is to move towards Xinjun!They are willing to die loyal to the king in the palace, but what about their families? !

The fifth prince raised his foot forward, and the imperial guard couldn't help but take a step back. Even those who refused to retreat were killed by the fifth prince's subordinates. Before the fifth prince stepped on the steps of the bedroom, he heard a cry from inside the room, "Your Majesty...Royal Father..." The mixed voices actually stopped the footsteps of the Fifth Prince.

Soon, a blood-soaked imperial guard rushed out, crying and fell to his knees, "Your Majesty, Bintian!"

The fifth prince was stunned for a moment, with murderous intent in his eyes, if the imperial guards were about to say the words of the will...

The imperial guards were not stupid either. Seeing Qi Cheng touch the dagger at his waist, he turned around and ran, almost bumping into Liu Tai who came out with the eighth prince. He fell into his colleagues and was pulled up.

Liu Tai held the crying eighth prince in one hand, and the yellow silk in the other, standing at the door of the bedroom, and raised his voice: "Your Majesty's will, the fifth prince kneels to receive the will!"

The fifth prince and his party stood in the rain, looking at Liu Tai under the eaves. No one knelt down. The fifth prince glanced at Du Qingchen, not knowing what it meant.

In the cold weather, Du Qingchen broke out in a cold sweat, and said in a panic: "Liu Tai! Don't do anything stupid!" He was holding the Eighth Prince with one hand and the yellow silk in the other, what did he want to do!Will you die with the Eighth Prince? !

When Liu Tai saw Du Qingchen, he was pleasantly surprised, "Brother Du, I miss you so much!" He hasn't been home for a long time, and he misses everyone in his family.

"Your father misses you even more!" Du Qingchen almost shouted, "Think about your father, if you act recklessly...you will kill him!"

"I didn't mess around!" Liu Tai looked blank, "It's just that His Majesty left a will a few days ago, and he handwritten it and stamped it with a jade seal, asking me to help announce the decree..."

Seeing Liu Tai's innocent face, Du Qingchen was about to vomit blood.

Liu Tai withdrew his joking expression, turned to the Fifth Prince, and said solemnly, "Your Highness still kneeling down to receive the order?"

Du Rulin tugged at Du Qingchen, and knelt down first, "Brother, Liu Tai is not that stupid, there must be something wrong with his intention..." Du Rulin said in a low voice, he believed in Liu Tai!

Du Rulin was standing next to the fifth prince, and the fifth prince naturally heard what he said, but his expression was unclear and he didn't move, so he couldn't guess what he was thinking.

Du Qingchen thought for a while, then looked up at Liu Tai, Liu Tai looked straight at him, Du Qingchen had no choice but to believe in Du Rulin's judgment, and also believed in Liu Tai. The prince is the heir in the heart of the emperor.

"Your Highness!" Seeing Du Qingchen knelt down, Du Rulin turned his head and pulled the fifth prince's clothes, "Please, trust me..."

"Ru Lin, if I dare to use you, I will naturally trust you." The fifth prince lowered his head, looked at Du Rulin and smiled, and then knelt down.

When the fifth prince knelt down, it seemed to be a signal, and everyone knelt down accordingly, and everyone who cheered was a bit shorter.Everyone's hearts were raised nervously.

Only then did Liu Tai open the yellow silk in his hand, and the eighth prince also knelt down. Liu Tai said: "Your Majesty's decree, the fifth prince is handsome and diligent, has both ability and political integrity, and can inherit the throne and be the heir of the country. Han County is a fiefdom, and after the funeral, you can leave and return to the fiefdom without delay, I respect you."

Everyone couldn't react for a while, the fifth prince raised his head slightly, and didn't speak for a long time.

"Is Your Highness still not accepting the decree?" Liu Tai stretched out his hand and handed the yellow silk to the Fifth Prince, "This is a secret decree written by His Majesty, and His Highness can check it. Your Highness, in fact, His Majesty has always trained you as a heir, so that he can train you."

The fifth prince's body trembled slightly, his eyes were cold, he raised his hand to take the yellow silk handed over by Liu Tai, the rain did not know when it stopped, the fifth prince slowly opened the yellow silk, on it was indeed his father's words, Covered with the seal of the jade seal, there is such a piece of yellow silk, no matter who comes, he will not be able to question his orthodox status.

The fifth prince was suddenly in a trance, as if everything in the past was like a mirror flower and water moon, rippling and taking on another color.

The fifth prince got up slightly, but before he recovered from the imperial decree, Liu Tai had already returned to the side of the eighth prince, knelt down and saluted, "The grass-roots refer to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"My brother sees Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." The eighth prince followed Liu Tai's instruction, and made a salute by possessing himself.

This kid actually took the lead!

The people under the Fifth Prince's sect came to their senses in an instant, shouting long live, over and over again, as if they were afraid that the Fifth Prince would not be able to hear clearly and see their loyalty.

Du Qingchen still had a feeling of unreality, and Du Rulin was also relieved, but no matter what they thought, they couldn't guess that the imperial decree actually wrote about the fifth prince!Has the plot been distorted by him to such an extent?Du Qingchen fell into deep confusion, but forget it, he is just a butterfly, after flapping his wings, who knows what kind of changes will be caused?He can't guess it himself!

Du Qingchen raised his head and looked at Liu Tai with a smile, what a kid!

The fifth prince took the yellow silk and stepped into the bedroom. The imperial physician stumbled out of the room. When he saw someone coming, he immediately fell to his knees, "See Your Majesty."

The fifth prince's gaze fell on the imperial physician, "Come in."

"Yes." The imperial physician saw that the situation outside was stable, so he dared to come out. He didn't expect to bump into the fifth prince directly, but the fifth prince should be in a very good mood at this moment, and he would not care about him. The imperial physician took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and followed. After entering the palace gate, he closed the door casually, shutting everyone out.

"What about the father?"

"Your Majesty, here..." The imperial physician hurriedly led the way.

The fifth prince looked at the vicissitudes old man lying on the dragon bed as if he had fallen asleep. He hadn't seen his father for a long time, and he didn't expect that he would be so old and embarrassed by the rice sac until he died.

Did he really make it difficult for him to practice himself?

The fifth prince turned to the imperial physician, "Tell me everything you have seen, without missing a single word!"

"Yes... yes..." The imperial physician fell on the ground and quickly told the fifth prince everything he saw and heard when he came in.

The fifth prince suddenly laughed, and raised his hand to cover his face, "I knew it, I knew it... how could he really want to train me? He has never seen me in his eyes... He really wants to pass on The seat is for the eighth..."

"Your Majesty, before the grand visit, the late emperor indeed changed his mind and wrote a secret edict to pass on to you! You are the new emperor." The imperial physician said in panic.

The fifth prince ignored it, bent down and covered his face, crying and laughing, the imperial doctor couldn't tell whether he was crying or laughing, the fifth prince knelt down, slowly took his hand away, his expression changed Calm down, but full of tears.

The imperial doctor didn't dare to look any further, and quickly lowered his head.

"I'm so stupid, I almost believed that kid." The Fifth Prince murmured.

The fifth prince wiped his face with his hand, got up and strode out, opened the palace door, outside, the people who got up knelt down again, the fifth prince glanced at Liu Tai, and saw that he was still beside the eighth prince. Coaxing him, the fifth prince slightly curled his lips. It turned out that what he said just now was just to make him let Lao Ba go.

Forget it, the fifth prince bowed his head, and Liu Tai's words would be good for him if he spread them out. In this way, the people of the world would be able to believe that he was the crown prince in his father's heart all along. He is beneficial and harmless, so he doesn't care about Liu Tai.

As for Lao Ba, he never cared about that father, so how could he be jealous that he had the father-son affection that that man gave him? !

The fifth prince raised his head slightly, he is the new king, he will not beg for alms and love from anyone, from now on, only he can give others these things!

"Preach my will, clean up the rebellion in the palace, and prepare for the emperor's funeral, old eight." The fifth prince's eyes fell on the eighth prince, who looked up blankly, as if he didn't understand anything, Liu Tai tensed his body nervously, "Funeral ceremony After that, return to Han County and become a feudal clan!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Tai pulled the Eighth Prince to salute, the joy on his face could not be hidden.

The Fifth Prince flicked his sleeves and went back to the bedroom.
