wait for me to be king

When Qi Yuan rushed out of Taibai Restaurant with his people, it happened to be the most critical moment for Emperor Xuanming.

The earthquake caused the main beam of Taibai Restaurant to break. Emperor Xuanming and others rolled from the second floor to the first floor. They finally escaped the first wave of arrows and cracks in the ground, and the rebels on the opposite side began to attack again.

When Emperor Xuanming went out, he was accompanied by about a hundred guards, openly or secretly, and there were also many guards around the prince, about fifty people, and there were more than 100 people on both sides. Taking advantage of the gap between the earthquakes, all these people He showed his face and rushed into the ruins of the restaurant, guarding Emperor Xuanming firmly, and confronted the rebels outside.

Taibai Restaurant is a relatively well-known restaurant in the capital, so there are naturally many pavilions and pavilions behind it. Emperor Xuanming hid in the ruins of the high and low pavilions with his guards. .

What's more, the guards beside Emperor Xuanming also had sleeve crossbows in their hands, and when the two sides fired at each other, it was a draw.

It's just that both Emperor Xuanming and the rebel party know one thing, they must race against the clock.

Even though the guards around Emperor Xuanming carried crossbows, they didn't carry many arrows with them. Once the arrows were used up, it was their time of death.

And the rebel party is even more worried, the prince has already escaped successfully, he only needs to climb up and call out, and bring the imperial guards and soldiers from the Beijing suburbs to surround him, and they will be dead!

Therefore, both Emperor Xuanming and the rebels are desperate.

When the rescue soldiers and horses arrived, there were only a dozen or so guards around Emperor Xuanming.

"You rebels tried to assassinate His Majesty in vain, and they were captured before they were tied up!!"

Qi Yuan yelled angrily, at this moment, the rebels were surging, and several people appeared in front of the queue.

It is the fifth younger brother of Emperor Xuanming, the king of Chu.

——After Prince Chen escaped, he slipped away first==

The King of Chu had a gloomy face, "Arrest without a fight?" He said with a ferocious face, "Son Qi Yuan, if you dare to let someone step forward, don't blame me for being rude!!"

Qi Yuan looked at the thing that was pushed to the front, his face darkened, it turned out to be a heavy crossbow for siege!

This kind of heavy crossbow can even shoot through the city wall. If it is aimed at Emperor Xuanming, then Emperor Xuanming will really have to go to the sky to find the first emperor for tea.

Emperor Xuanming calmly said, "Yuan'er, don't pay attention to what the rebellion said, why don't you escort me quickly?!"

The corner of Qi Yuan's mouth twitched, and now there are soldiers all around, everyone is looking at him, he didn't dare to ignore Emperor Xuanming's safety, and ordered everyone to step forward.

If Emperor Xuanming died because of this, he, the crown prince, would be finished as well.

How did you deal with this matter in your previous life?correct!

Qi Yuan suddenly remembered something, he subconsciously looked behind King Chu...

There stood a middle-aged man who seemed to be high in the rebel party.

This person was Zhao Ming, Marquis of Ming Yuan, who was in charge of the Military Weapons Supervision, so the crossbow in the hands of the rebels was naturally transferred from the treasury by him.

But I'm afraid the King of Chu didn't expect that Ming Yuanhou was actually Emperor Xuanming's man. Since he got the siege crossbow from Ming Yuanhou, who knows if the siege crossbow can still be used, Qi Yuan felt relieved. .

Now that Emperor Xuanming was well-prepared, Qi Yuan naturally began to think about things after the rebellion.

Although Xie Changfeng rescued him in the street, although he had good intentions, he must be tabooed by Emperor Xuanming. If he wanted to keep him, he had to let Emperor Xuanming's eyes fall on himself, not Xie Changfeng.

Qi Yuan took a deep breath, raised his head and held his chest high, without being angry or majestic. His 20-plus years of imperial career had given him a touch of grace and depth. Usually, he deliberately restrained himself for fear of revealing anything, but today...he finally... It was revealed.

His tone was sincere, but with an undeniable majesty.

"Uncle Wang, your rebellion has already failed, and you are still in a stalemate here, just because you are worried about your father blaming you."

"Actually, Uncle Wang is overwhelmed." He took a step forward and did not look at Emperor Xuanming, "In any case, Uncle Wang is the son of the emperor's grandfather, and his father is the elder brother. Even if Uncle Wang did such a rebellious thing, it is because of Because of the villains around you, even if it is for the sake of the emperor's grandfather, the emperor will not blame you."

Emperor Xuanming raised his eyebrows. He looked at his eldest son, as if he suddenly realized that his son was no longer the eldest son of the vassal king, but had really grown into a prince of a country!

Emperor Xuanming's mood was very complicated, he was both relieved and a little uncomfortable.

The King of Chu laughed strangely, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?!"

It's better to say than to sing!

Qi Yuan said again, "Yuan often heard from my father that in the past, the emperor's grandfather fought in the world and had no time to take care of his father and your uncles. The eldest brother is like a father. Every day, my father will go to the place where your uncles live and take care of them carefully. I personally take care of all matters, big and small, and my father and all the uncles are respectful and respectful. When the world is first determined, my father will be a vassal king, so I have to go far to the fief to say goodbye to all the uncles. They are all worried about each other, and they are generous in etiquette, and they always teach us brothers to care for each other and not to argue."

Qi Yuan had a look of regret, "Uncle Wang took a wrong step today, Yuan is really sad, not only because the father and emperor are full of brotherly love, but also because Uncle Wang has gone astray."

"As the saying goes, people are not sages and sages, who can do nothing? Knowing mistakes can correct them, and there is nothing good about it!" Qi Yuan had tears in his eyes, lifted his heels, and knelt down on the ground, "Uncle Wang, you haven't caused a catastrophe yet, and everything is gone. It can still be redeemed, and please ask Uncle Wang to turn around and be right, don't make any more mistakes!"

After these words were finished, the atmosphere of the scene changed immediately.

Emperor Xuanming was filled with emotion.

What Qi Yuan said was right, the first emperor was busy fighting every day, the elder brother and the second elder brother followed the first emperor on the battlefield, he was the only one in the family, so he was not alone.

After the birth of the fourth brother King Chen and the fifth brother King Chu, Emperor Xuanming was so happy that he went to his brother's residence every day to look at the children in the cradle, hoping that the two brothers would grow up early and could learn and play together.

At that time, he didn't see the fear in Concubine De's and Concubine Xian's eyes, he only thought that they were brothers, and in the future, he would share his father's worries like the eldest brother and second brother.

It's just that as the first emperor's soldiers and horses became stronger and stronger, he occupied more and more territory, and his status became higher and higher, everything changed.

When the eldest brother and the second brother died on the battlefield one after another, and Emperor Xuanming was left as the head, the two younger brothers became even more wary of him, and they no longer had the close friendship they had when they were young.

Looking back on the friendship back then, Emperor Xuanming's heart softened, and he sighed, "Old Wu, after so many years, do you still remember the courtyard when we lived in Pengcheng?"

The King of Chu was stunned, and Qi Yuan was also stunned. Emperor Xuanming never persuaded the King of Chu in his previous life!

"You were born there." Emperor Xuanming said slowly, "You don't even remember it. At that time, there were frequent wars, and the emperor was on a conquest. The enemy invaded from the rear and led troops into Pengcheng. Hiding in the well in the backyard with you, when you were not yet full moon, you would cry loudly when you were hungry."

"But that night, for some reason, even though you were hungry, you just opened your mouth and held your finger in your mouth, and didn't cry out. You didn't cry until the elder brother led the soldiers back to help. The elder brother said with a smile at that time, you I am the lucky star of the Qi family."

The King of Chu was stunned, he didn't know about these things, or he was too young at that time to remember anything.

"You are really a lucky star, old five, why does the emperor like you so much? Because since you were born, the war has become smoother, and our family's situation has become better and better. Brothers and sisters can also have a stable environment to read and practice calligraphy, and use it wisely."

Emperor Xuanming recalled the old memories, and his tone was vicissitudes, "At that time, both the eldest brother and the second brother, and I all liked you very much. For this reason, the fourth brother was jealous, saying that the eldest brother only liked you and didn't like him, and gave the old man who the eldest brother originally wanted to give away. Because your longbow is twisted..."

The king of Chu was also silent. The memory of his childhood was too long. If Emperor Xuanming hadn't mentioned it, he would have really forgotten it.

"You don't remember, but Brother Ke remembers it clearly." Emperor Xuanming looked at the King of Chu, the corners of his eyes became moist, "When did our dear brothers come to this point?"

"Fifth, think about your father who passed away, think about your elder brother and second brother who died young, think about your child, don't make mistakes again." Emperor Xuanming solemnly said, "As Yuan'er said, if you know your mistakes, you can correct them." , the goodness is so great, if you stop here, I will forgive you for not guilty!"

King Chu was shocked, he looked straight at Emperor Xuanming, "I don't believe it!"

Qi Yuan said in a soft voice, "Father's golden words, all the officers and men are listening, how can you go back on your word?"

Emperor Xuanming nodded, "That's right, fifth child, I am the Son of Heaven, so naturally I won't lie to you."

The king of Chu was silent for a while, before he said, "Speaking of which, I want the iron scroll of Dan Shu!"

Qi Yuan was overjoyed immediately, since King Chu said so, it proved that he was going to stop!

Emperor Xuanming laughed, and he took out his private seal from his arms without saying a word, "There is no pen and ink here, this is my private seal, just take it, write the iron scroll of Dan Shu, and stamp it immediately. Can!"

A trace of joy and excitement flashed across King Chu's face. He subconsciously took a few steps forward, wanting to reach out to take the private seal. Seeing King Chu's movement, Emperor Xuanming involuntarily stepped forward, wanting to hand it to King Chu.

At this moment, the King of Chu suddenly raised his head, revealing a sly smile.

He flipped his wrist, revealing a delicate and small sleeve crossbow. With a click, three crossbow arrows shot out suddenly!

Qi Yuan yelled, "Father!!"

At the critical moment, the King of Guanghan County next to Emperor Xuanming pulled over Emperor Xuanming and turned over to block Emperor Xuanming. Li Fu put both hands together and caught the first crossbow. The second crossbow was caught by the guard commander Zhuge Zhen Blocked, the third crossbow arrow hit the back of King Guanghan.

At the same time, Marquis Mingyuan waved his hand, all the bows and crossbows aimed at Emperor Xuanming were aimed at the King of Chu, all arrows were fired, and the King of Chu was shot to death on the spot.

Emperor Xuanming stared blankly at the hedgehog-like King of Chu, not showing any joy of victory. On the contrary, he remembered the cakes and innocent smiles that the King of Chu gave him when he was a child, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Tianjia has no family, is it really his delusional idea?

The author has something to say: Not everyone is born an Emperor.

Whether it was Qi Yuan, who had a lot of dark history, or Emperor Xuanming, who still had a soft heart in his heart, they all went through countless unbearable pains and regrets, before transforming step by step into a supreme emperor.

Emperor Xuanming, as the earliest senior vassal king, had not received the education of a king of a country, so sometimes his heart would be softer, but after the incident with King Chu, he would slowly transform into a real emperor.

There is no family affection in heaven.
