Hold His Hand

Lu Yanzhou said a lot, and then saw Xie Chengze looking at him with a smile.

Forget it, Xie Chengze actually came over and kissed him.

Lu Yanzhou was a little helpless: "Your Highness..." He confessed his identity and relationship with King Rui, but Xie Chengze was not angry or jealous at all?

Only then did Xie Chengze put away his smile, and said sternly, "Let's discuss how to prepare for it?" Lu Yanzhou was worried that his appearance would move his heart, but... I don't know how long Lu Yanzhou is willing to stay with him.

Hearing this, Lu Yanzhou pinched Xie Chengze's cheek, and discussed with Xie Chengze.

He asked Xie Chengze who was on hand, Xie Chengze said something, Lu Yanzhou heard what Xie Chengze had said about these people, and arranged tasks for them respectively.

Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou in surprise.

Lu Yanzhou knew far less information than him, but the arrangements he made were very perfect. It can be seen that Lu Yanzhou is good at using troops.

This person is really not simple.

Maybe Lu Yanzhou still has a lot of bargaining chips in his hands that he doesn't know about.

Xie Chengze made arrangements according to what Lu Yanzhou said, and arranged for another person in private.

King Rui's actions were very fast, almost as soon as they made arrangements, King Rui led the forbidden army to encircle both inside and outside the palace, and directly surrounded the East Palace.

Now that it's summer, the temperature in the capital is much higher, so that King Rui, who is wearing armor, is sweating all over.

But even though he was sweating profusely, King Rui was still in high spirits.

After today, he is the prince!

God knows how long he has been waiting for this day!

When his father handed him the Tiger Talisman, told him the prince's secret, and said that he had always been the heir to the throne, he was so excited that he almost fainted!

However, before he becomes the prince, he needs to get rid of one person first, that is Xie Chengze.

Only when Xie Chengze is gone, he is the legitimate prince!

After surrounding the East Palace, King Rui wiped off his sweat, and led someone to break in, heading straight to Xie Chengze's residence.

There were few people in the East Palace, and there were few lights. It seemed a bit too quiet. It wasn't until King Rui and his party broke in that the place became "lively".

The eunuch and maid shouted "Prince", and ran to the courtyard where the prince lived in a panic, and King Rui finally led people to surround the courtyard.

The guards of the East Palace guarded the hospital gate, and at the same time, Xie Chengze's voice sounded: "Second brother, it's late at night, why did you bring so many people here?"

Accompanied by this sound, King Rui saw Xie Chengze standing on the second floor of the palace where the prince lived in the middle of the courtyard from a distance, looking towards him.

Xie Chengze turned his back to the light, and they were a little far away. King Rui couldn't see Xie Chengze's expression clearly, but hearing Xie Chengze's voice, he knew that Xie Chengze was not poisoned.

King Rui was a little disappointed.

When he poisoned Lu Yanzhou, he hoped that Lu Yanzhou would succeed in poisoning him. If Xie Chengze was poisoned to death... He was the one who came to save his brother after learning about it today, so he could be the crown prince without a doubt.

But now that Xie Chengze is still alive... this method can't be used.

Of course, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work, he looks forward to seeing Xie Chengze's despair!

King Rui said: "Xie Chengze, you intend to kill the king, and I'm here to arrest you today!"

Xie Chengze's voice sounded again: "Kill the king?"

King Rui sneered: "Xie Chengze, you are so rebellious that you murdered your father, everyone will punish you!"

King Rui also knew that this reason was unconvincing, but in this world, winners and losers have always been the winners and losers. As long as Xie Chengze dies, as the only prince, with the support of his father... who would dare to question him?

The most important thing is that he will not kill Xie Chengze and leave a clue... His father told him that Xie Chengze suffers from a heart disease, and he will attack when he is frightened... He intends to make the movement louder, so that Xie Chengze will be overwhelmed by his heart disease. died.

After all, King Rui didn't want to be charged with murdering his brother.

Thinking of this, King Rui waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, grab him!"

As soon as King Rui finished speaking, the forbidden army he brought rushed into the courtyard and fought with the guards of the East Palace.

In a certain room on the second floor of the palace, surrounded by people holding shields, Lu Yanzhou said to Xie Chengze beside him: "Your Highness, you can do it now!"

Xie Chengze glanced at the person who was protecting him tightly, and said, "Do it!"

Xie Chengze was a little helpless at the moment.

The person who spoke to King Rui just now was indeed him, but the person standing at the window was not him.

He didn't care about life and death, and wanted to speak to King Rui in person, but Lu Yanzhou didn't want to, so he found a substitute to stand by the window and arranged a group of people to surround him with shields.

Even if King Rui shot at him with crossbow arrows, they probably wouldn't be able to hurt even a single hair on him.

Lu Yanzhou...doesn't need to be like this?

Wouldn't it be nice for both him and King Rui to die here?

Or...Lu Yanzhou doesn't want him to die for the time being, and there are other things for him to do?

Xie Chengze thought a lot in his mind, but the situation below has completely changed.

When Xie Chengze opened his mouth and said the word "hands-on", many people suddenly appeared from all over the East Palace and began to fight with the imperial army.

The imperial army has always been the emperor's people, Xie Chengze has no way to get involved, but he has cultivated some of his own men.

King Rui saw a lot of people coming out of the shadows, he was shocked, he quickly asked the guards to protect him, and asked the guards outside to come in quickly.

The East Palace is not big, and the number of imperial troops he brought in was not too large, but they were defeated by Xie Chengze's people!

"Protect me and get out! Xie Chengze is raising a private army with the intention of plotting rebellion. He must be taken down, regardless of life or death!" King Rui was still thinking about his reputation before, but now he doesn't care.

Of course, he did this mainly because he was afraid that Ruya would hurt him, but he was not worried that this operation would fail.

There are a full [-] imperial troops in the capital, and the manpower of the Eastern Palace will definitely not be able to stop the people he brought!

King Rui wanted to leave the East Palace and go to a safe place outside, but at this moment, there were shouts of killing outside the East Palace!

This... It seems that there are other troops fighting with the imperial army?

King Rui really panicked now, and quickly asked the people around him, "What's the matter?"

As soon as he finished asking, someone rushed in from the outside and reported to him: "My lord, there is an elite army outside, and they are killing our people!"

"What? Who is here?" King Rui asked.

Rui Wang is only 20 years old this year.Unlike the empress, the noble concubine loved her son so much that in the past 20 years, King Rui hadn't suffered much.

He is scheming and cunning, but he has never experienced life and death, and there are fighting around him right now, so naturally he is afraid.

"I don't know..."

"Why don't you know anything!" King Rui was furious.

At this time, Lu Yanzhou's two cousins ​​had already led someone to kill them.

Both of them wanted to make meritorious service, so they shouted from a distance: "His Royal Highness, I have come to save you!"

King Rui became even angrier: "Xie Chengze, you privately transferred troops to Beijing, you are plotting rebellion!"

King Rui yelled very loudly, but the yelling and killing around him were so loud that few people could hear it.

It was Lu Yanzhou's two cousins-in-law who led their subordinates and shouted: "King Rui led troops into the palace with the intention of plotting rebellion!"

"King Rui led troops into the palace with the intention of rebelling against him!"

The voice spread far away, not to mention the people in the East Palace, even the people in the palace and people outside the palace heard it.

The imperial army has always been in the hands of the emperor and obeys the emperor's orders, but this mainly refers to the generals.

Those ordinary soldiers in the forbidden army didn't want to do anything to arrest the prince. Now they heard this, they were even more flustered, and their fighting power was greatly reduced. At this moment, Lu Yanzhou's two cousins ​​shouted again: "Surrender, don't kill! Surrender, don't kill!" !"

The soldiers of the imperial army surrendered one after another, and those generals still wanted to fight, but many of them had already been killed, and the remaining ones could not beat the border soldiers!

Lu Yanzhou felt that this ancient war was very different from what he had imagined—his two cousins ​​won too quickly!

But that's not surprising.

The Imperial Army has been staying in the capital all the time, and has never experienced any war. Many of them are even from good backgrounds, and they cherish their lives just like King Rui.

Such a person would naturally be unable to defeat the frontier soldiers on the battlefield.

What's more, although the number of people brought to the capital by his two cousins ​​is not too many, there are still 1 people.

All the imperial troops who surrendered were captured, and those who resisted were naturally killed!

At this time, Lu Yanzhou's two cousins ​​kidnapped King Rui and went outside the palace, begging to see Xie Chengze.

Xie Chengze, who was surrounded by groups, went downstairs.

The Forbidden Army has lost its combat effectiveness, and the entire palace is completely under Lu Yanzhou's control. What will he face next?

Xie Chengze faced two tanned beards.

Although Lu Yanzhou's two cousins ​​had hatred for the emperor, their hatred was definitely not as great as that of Lu Rong.

Not to mention that Lu Yanzhou's letter to them said that Xie Chengze had a bad relationship with the emperor and that he was bloodletted by the emperor.

The prince is also a poor man!

When Lu Yanzhou's two brothers-in-law saw Xie Chengze, they immediately knelt down: "His Royal Highness, I am late!"

"Your Highness, I have already arrested the rebel party!"

The two explained the situation one by one, and looked at Xie Chengze eagerly, showing their loyalty and explaining the difficulty of their journey.

Xie Chengze: "..." Although these two are military generals, their acting skills are not inferior to Lu Yanzhou.

Now it looks like she really wants to ask him for a reward.

Xie Chengze said: "If it weren't for the two of you helping each other today, I would have been in a lot of trouble, and when things are done, I will be rewarded a lot!"

Lu Yanzhou's two cousins ​​were extremely excited when they heard the words, and immediately kowtowed to thank them.

However, King Rui was furious: "You are crazy, you actually sacrificed your life for him! Xie Chengze has a heart disease, he won't live long at all! The imperial doctor said, he only has one year to live!"

There were already many people loyal to Xie Chengze around him, and because the battle was over, some people rushed over, including Zhou Xueya.

Now that King Rui suddenly said this, it undoubtedly made these people startled.

If Xie Chengze suffers from heart disease, then they will...

"Father knows that Xie Chengze has a heart disease, so he will not give the throne to Xie Chengze..." King Rui was beheaded before he finished speaking.

It was Lu Yanzhou who did it, and he killed him with one blow.

King Rui is a prince after all. In this feudal society, most people dare not do anything to him, but Lu Yanzhou has no psychological burden.

Now Xie Chengze and King Rui are in a situation where they can't stop dying. For Xie Chengze's safety, King Rui must die.

And when King Rui's head fell to the ground... the people who had other thoughts earlier calmed down.

King Rui is dead, no matter whether Xie Chengze has heart disease or not, Xie Chengze has only one son today!

So, everyone condemned King Rui's treason one after another.

At this moment, Lu Yanzhou looked at Xie Chengze: "Your Highness, King Rui conspired against you, you should tell His Majesty about this matter."

King Rui has already been killed, Xie Chengze should go all out and win the throne now.

Xie Chengze understood what he said.

That's right, it's much better to let him die of heart disease after ascending the throne than to swing a knife at him now.

Lu Yanzhou was willing to let him live to the end, which is very good.
