Peace returned to Xuanqing Palace.
But the palace, and even the entire royal city, began to become chaotic.
Eunuch Wei gave an order, and all 100,000 imperial troops were dispatched to blockade the entire royal city.
Then, the densely packed Forbidden Army began to take action.
The main people participating in the palace change tonight are the second prince Wu Zhao and the third prince Wu Xuan.
Now the second prince Wu Zhao has been brought to justice and imprisoned, leaving only the third prince Wu Xuan who has not shown up.
Therefore, Eunuch Wei led a group of forbidden troops and went directly to the Xuanwu Palace, the residence of the third prince Wu Xuan.
However, when Eunuch Wei arrived at Xuanwu Palace, the scene he saw surprised him.
Not only the third prince Wu Xuan, but also the sixth prince Wu Feiyang, the third prince's mother and concubine, the sixth prince's mother and queen, namely Concubine Yang, the daughter of the official minister, and Yang Qing, the official minister, were all in the Xuanwu Palace.
However, he was imprisoned.
There is also a group of black feather troops guarding outside.
After Eunuch Wei took control of the situation, he found out after asking.
It turned out that the second prince Wu Zhao had already made preparations, so after Wang Qingping and others went to Xuanqing Palace, he led his people to control Wu Xuan and others and imprisoned them in Xuanwu Palace.
After killing the eldest prince, he took control of the situation and blamed Wu Xuan. Then he inherited the throne and became king.
It has to be said that Wu Zhao's plan is surprisingly similar to that of Wu Xuan and Wang Qingping.
Because Wang Qingping also thought this way.
He also specifically told Wu Xuan that after they returned from killing the eldest prince, they would immediately take action against Wu Zhao and blame the incident on Wu Zhao, and then Wu Xuan would take control of the situation and ascend the throne as king.
In order to avoid accidents, Wang Qingping also deliberately left three masters of the Void Return Realm to protect Wu Xuan.
Unfortunately, Wu Zhao was still one step ahead.
After Wang Qingping and others rushed to Xuanqing Palace, Wu Zhao took action immediately.
With Nanyang Hou Liang Fengjun, a strong man in the Hedao realm, sitting in charge, there were no surprises at all.
Two of the three people who protected Wu Xuan died in the Return to the Void Realm, leaving only Yang Qing, the official minister, who was also seriously injured and imprisoned in the Xuanwu Palace, waiting to be executed later.
Unfortunately, Wu Zhao's plan also failed, and the final winner was still the eldest prince Wu Sifan!
When Eunuch Wei rushed to Xuanwu Palace, a group of people were shivering inside.
Especially the poor guy Wu Xuan, who was under the intensive care of Wu Zhao, even the golden elixir was destroyed, and he was left hanging with only one breath, almost without belching.
"It's your own fault and you won't live!"
Eunuch Wei sighed, glanced at the frightened people in the palace, waved his hand and said, "Take them all away!"
After seeing Eunuch Wei appear with his men, everyone understood that tonight's plan had failed, so they did not resist.
Of course, the main reason is that I can't resist.
Things went surprisingly smoothly.
These key figures in the palace were all captured in one fell swoop.
This happened thanks to the second prince Wu Zhao!
Later, Eunuch Wei rushed to the Xuanning Palace of the second prince Wu Zhao.
At this moment, Xuanning Palace was surrounded by the imperial army, and all the guards and maids were controlled.
However, the second prince's mother, Concubine Liang, and Marquis Liang Fengjun of Nanyang have disappeared.
Needless to say, he must have been taken away by Liang Fengjun.
It is not difficult for a strong person in the Hedao realm to take someone away.
Eunuch Wei didn't pay much attention, and after sending people to blockade Xuanning Palace, he led people to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
…
At this time, the prime minister's palace was heavily guarded. Many officials from the Third Prince's lineage were in the palace, and many masters were waiting for him.
They were waiting for news to come from the palace before they acted as planned.
But almost three hours have passed since Wang Qingping and others left.
If we wait any longer, it will be dawn soon.
But still no news came!
"Something is definitely wrong!"
"It's been so long, how could there be no news at all?!"
Finally, an official in black couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and looked anxiously in the direction of the palace and said.
"Yeah, how come there's no news at all?"
"Could something really happen?"
"We can't wait any longer! Mr. Zhao, why don't you go directly to the palace and have a look!"
"Yes, Mr. Zhao, what should we do now?"
Everyone was talking a lot, and then looked anxiously at Zhao Jiang, the Minister of Household Affairs who was sitting in the chair.
Prime Minister Wang Qingping and Minister of Civil Affairs Zhao Qing have both entered the palace. At this moment, everyone can only lead with him.
"Everyone, please be patient!"
Zhao Jiang was also anxious, but he also knew that there should be no chaos at this moment, otherwise something would happen!
He waved his hand, looked at the officials solemnly, and said: "The Prime Minister is going there in person, not to mention the Marquis of Zhendong coming to help. There is absolutely no chance of an accident. You can just wait and wait."
"But it's impossible for there to be no news for so long!"
"Yeah! It's so quiet!"
"I don't know why, I always feel a little uneasy!"
Everyone was still frowning and not optimistic.
Zhao Jiang also frowned slightly, and then said: "I have sent people to find out the news. Let's wait and see. If there is still no news, then I will enter the palace later..."
Da da da……
Just as he was talking, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps outside the house.
Immediately afterwards, a guard rushed in and said anxiously: "Sir, something serious has happened!"
"Um?"
Zhao Jiang stood up suddenly and looked at the anxious look on the guard's face. He also had an ominous premonition in his heart and asked quickly: "Tell me what's going on!"
The guard said anxiously: "The royal palace is under martial law. All the imperial troops have been dispatched to seal off the royal city. No one is allowed to enter or leave! Eunuch Wei personally went out and led people to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
"What?!"
"How can it be?!"
"It's over! It's over!"
"What should I do?!"
For a moment, everyone was shocked and panicked.
Zhao Jiang's palms also trembled, and his face turned a little pale, but he still held on to the last bit of luck and didn't want to believe it.
He waved his hands to comfort everyone and said, "Don't worry, maybe it has been successful. Did Eunuch Wei come to summon us to the palace on the orders of the third prince?"
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud noise outside.
Then the door was violently pushed open.
Immediately afterwards, a dense army of forbidden troops broke in and surrounded the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.
Eunuch Wei, wearing a black robe and a cold face, walked straight into the mansion.
Looking at the panic-stricken people in the mansion, he sneered and said: "My lords, your affairs have come to light, come with me!"
Everyone's faces suddenly turned ashen.
…
"Lord Qi, we have found out everything!"
"The royal palace is under martial law, and all the imperial guards have been dispatched to seal the royal city and no one is allowed to enter or exit."
"In addition, many imperial troops have already surrounded the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Censor Bai Lord's Mansion, the Officials' Mansion and the Hubu Shangshu's Mansion. Eunuch Wei personally took action and no one dared to come close!"
In Taiwei's Mansion, Dugu Xiaotian's expression suddenly changed when he heard the guard's report.
"Sure enough, something happened!"
As a Taiwei, he naturally has eyes in the palace.
Tonight, after receiving news that a palace coup had occurred in the palace, he immediately sent people out to find out the news.
The result was exactly as he expected!
Something happened in the palace!
Looking at the situation at this moment, it is obvious that the second prince Wu Zhao and the third prince Wu Xuan should have taken action.
But the final winner is still the eldest prince!
"I'm afraid there will be a big earthquake in the DPRK tomorrow..."
Dugu Xiaotian sighed softly.
With so many officials involved in this matter, don’t think too much, something big will definitely happen in the DPRK tomorrow!
"Fortunately, I didn't take sides rashly!"
Dugu Xiaotian suddenly felt a sense of joy in his heart.
In the past few days, the second prince, the third prince and others have tried to win over him.
He simply stuck to his heart and chose to stay behind closed doors.
Otherwise, I'm afraid that the Taiwei's Mansion will also be visited by the Forbidden Army tonight!
"Take the people back!"
Shaking his head, Dugu Xiaotian looked at the guard and said.
As a Taiwei, he is also in charge of 200,000 royal city guards.
However, since the eldest prince did not notify him, he only had to wait for the enthronement ceremony tomorrow.
Otherwise, don't worry about anything else.
