Several generals of the imperial guards lowered ladders to their own men.
This is something they have prepared for a long time.
Opening the door is troublesome, but placing a ladder is much easier.
In fact, before his death, the emperor originally wanted to put the two princes under house arrest in his mansion, and even wanted to send them out of the capital altogether.
However, the supporters of the two princes were making repeated remarks, including heavyweight generals.
This forced the emperor to delay the matter.
Then he wanted to have the third prince ascend the throne directly before his deathbed.
But his attachment to the imperial power prevented him from making this decision.
What if he has a few more years to live?
This has happened before.
When he was 60 years old, he almost died, but he persisted for another 14 years.
Who's to say he can't get over it now?
Will you persist for another 14 years?
The previous dynasty also had an emperor who was over 80 years old.
Once you get through it and give up the throne, you can't get it back...
No matter how close they are, they are still scum in front of the imperial power.
In this way, the extremely selfish nature of imperial power made the emperor hesitate until the last moment.
Then another sudden collapse occurred.
In history, those emperors who abdicated their thrones in advance and still controlled the real power and became the emperors, in fact, it has to be said that all of them were very capable of controlling the people.
After all, once he abdicates and grows old, everyone knows that the young emperor is the future.
However, the inertia of loyalty from Quan Li still allowed the Supreme Emperor to control Quan Li.
This is actually something that makes laymen feel strange.
Essentially, it was because feudal imperial power was based on a society of acquaintances and personal relationships.
Everyone is not motivated by some common lofty ideal.
Rather, it's that I am loyal to you and you give me benefits, that's it.
In this case, the Supreme Emperor actually plays an important role in coordinating and organizing distribution. As long as he is alive and can carry out this distribution task, he will naturally still control the power.
As for the new emperor, he was still unfamiliar with many coordination and organizational tasks, so he would not be able to completely seize power.
The best way is to start a war and become familiar with new arrangements from the war.
And now.
The emperor died suddenly, but the eldest prince and the second prince were refused entry to the palace.
This made the eldest prince and second prince very angry.
Now this time, with the help of the Imperial Guard General, they entered the palace and finally saw the deceased emperor.
And the third prince.
They haven't seen the third prince for a long time...
At first, they felt ashamed, so they said they did not dare to see him directly.
Secondly, they are also suspicious and unwilling to see each other.
But now the two princes were under their own guards and guards, and they saw that the third prince was being taken by a group of people to change into the emperor's clothes.
He also wore the emperor's exclusive crown.
The pearl above is shaking slightly.
They were shocked.
"This lame man can walk so steadily!"
That's right, at this time, the third prince used great perseverance to make his obese body appear healthy.
Immediately, other ministers also came in one after another.
They divided into camps and followed the eldest prince and the second prince.
"The emperor has just passed away, and you led troops into the palace. This is treason!" the general guarding the palace said to the two princes.
"Be bold!"
The eldest prince immediately scolded: "We are the emperor's own children. We only entered the palace to prevent treacherous villains from plotting to kill our father!"
"That's right, take us to see our father quickly." The second prince also shouted.
Many important ministers and nobles also made noises.
Everyone knows that now is a critical moment. Who can achieve great success in the next few decades depends on this trembling moment!
If you tremble well, you can maintain your glory and wealth.
Don't be afraid, it's just another four major families.
Yes, they also have one of the four eliminated families here.
Things like the Red Mansion are not uncommon.
Then everyone came to the emperor's palace.
However, at this time, Wen Rensheng frowned slightly.
He discovered that the third prince secretly made a new painting.
That is, at this time, the old emperor in the painting is testing the hearts of his ministers.
The old emperor played a trick to escape from the golden cicada and pretended to be dead.
In fact, everyone was taken into the palace.
He wanted to completely eliminate the danger for the third prince.
Wen Rensheng couldn't help but smile when he saw this.
This plug-in is just a plug-in.
In this case, the third prince made a desperate comeback.
Sure enough, the old emperor, who was lying on the bed and seemed to be dead, suddenly woke up.
He spoke to the clans, nobles, ministers, and generals:
"I will pass on the third prince XX."
"He is the new emperor I chose for you."
"Your Majesty, how can the third prince inherit the throne if he is disabled?" At this time, a certain minister was the first to stand up.
Because his daughter is the second prince's concubine, the two parties are highly bound.
It can be said that the genocide will affect him.
"Shut up, do you dare to rebel?"
"I don't dare, I just think about the country."
The old emperor continued to say with difficulty: "Only the third prince is the emperor who can truly expand the territory and maintain the prosperous age."
"Only he can maintain the dynasty inheritance!"
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned.
Then everyone looked at the third prince.
The third prince could be seen looking frightened and frightened all over his body.
"Father, you want to live a long life, how can you pass the throne in such a hurry."
He cried directly on the spot.
The old emperor looked pleased and looked at the other two princes.
The two at the back looked angry, wishing that he would die quickly and pass his position to them.
They are both sons, so why is the gap so big?
It can only be said that they are not stupid, but they started to forget these things because of the fighting.
"I can't, my life is only seventy."
"I have lived seventy and four years."
"I have been emperor for so many years, and I should have left long ago. If I don't leave, God will be jealous."
The old emperor is very self-aware and sees clearly.
At this moment, Wen Rensheng noticed that the third prince was quietly kneeling on the ground again, covering the charcoal and white paper he made himself with his big sleeves, and drawing new content inside.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Good guy.
Even when going to court, never forget to take the charcoal pen with you.
If it were a brush, it would be impossible to do this.
It is simply impossible to draw a picture in such a deceptive way.
The other party also carried a piece of white paper with him.
Then, a new scene was discovered.
The emperor ordered a chamberlain to hand a tiger talisman, which symbolized the highest military power, into the hands of the third prince.
And asked his most loyal confidants to swear allegiance to the third prince.
Seeing this scene, the two princes were so angry that their teeth were broken.
But now it's on the opponent's home court.
At this time, the emperor said to the third prince:
"You must treat your two brothers well in the future and never let me down."
"You, you have to swear..."
"Never lie."
The third prince immediately knelt down and swore to the palace beam:
"Unworthy descendant XX swears to his ancestors that he will treat his two brothers well."
"Serve your brother as you serve my father..."
"I will definitely treat my nieces and nephews well..."
In short, this oath was too true.
If the ministers hadn't all studied history books and knew that there was such a thing as the Oath of Luoshui, they would really believe it.
But they don't know it at all.
The third prince really had no intention of killing his two brothers.
On the contrary, treat them well.
Lock them up and let them have children.
In a lifetime, dozens of children are born.
This is also kind treatment.
After all, in the eyes of the ancients, the most filial way to honor your parents is to raise more children.
Just like a big-hearted emperor who had no shame and was obviously taken away like a prisoner.
All kinds of humiliation, just like this, to be able to continue to have more than a dozen children is simply ridiculous.
There is no shame at all.
And the third prince is about to ascend the throne.
The eldest prince and the second prince, who had been fighting for most of their lives, were both very angry.
They were angry in their hearts.
[Damn it, it was indeed the third child who did it! 】
[In fact, we have started preparations long ago, but why was the third child successful? 】
【Is there something we did wrong? 】
At this time, the third prince vowed to the ministers: "We will implement benevolent government and treat the people with kindness..."
Hearing this, many neutral ministers were relieved.
Because the so-called "benevolence" means being kind to them, the ministers and squires.
How can ordinary people enjoy the kindness of the emperor?
They could not even see the emperor, only officials at all levels.
So it’s pretty good if a dynasty can last for 200 years.
These officials, at first, had some humanity and were afraid of the people's uprising.
But over time, people tend to forget.
In fact, it would take less than 200 years or just a few decades to make the descendants of these officials forget the horror of the people's rebellion.
After two hundred years, generation after generation, why don't you treat the people like sheep?
But not long after, the old emperor couldn't breathe and finally collapsed.
When the eldest prince and the second prince saw this, they lay down in front of the old emperor's bed and burst into tears.
Everyone cried bitterly.
Why don't you send me the location?
When several staff members who came with him saw this, they also sighed deeply.
The reason why the two princes failed was because they lost their compassion.
The biggest failure lies in "mutual incompatibility".
They didn't know that the third prince was involved.
I don't know if the normal development would be for the eldest prince and the second prince to rush into the palace. Amid the hesitation and hesitation of the imperial guards, they would lead their troops and hack the third prince to death.
As a result, when the old emperor struggled again, the palace guards found someone to be loyal to, suppressed the situation, and transferred their allegiance in time.
This caused the eldest prince and second prince to lose their relative advantage.
And they just guessed that in the old emperor's opinion, a person who could accommodate his three sons must be chosen as emperor.
The solution that can keep all three sons alive is to let the disabled but kind-hearted third son take the throne.
The old emperor had no time to think about anything else.
When the emperor gets old, his final consideration is not the world.
I am just considering the standpoint of a family and a father.
Of course, this kind of thinking is not good for the world.
Li Shimin was wise all his life, and finally chose Li Zhi. Some people said that Li Zhi was very powerful.
But those in power only care about results.
The result was that he lost his country.
If the position is passed to a person who has lost his fortune, then the person passing the position can never be said to have made the right choice.
But now, in the eyes of others, the old emperor's choice is of no benefit to the world.
It's not good for the royal family either.
After all, the third prince is disabled and has no prestige.
The eldest prince and the second prince then started crying again.
The Minister of Rites began to make arrangements for the funeral.
Then the two of them found an opportunity and went to a house alone to rest temporarily.
The eldest prince said: "I will fight to the death."
"If I give up this time, it means I will never have another chance."
An aide next to him asked: "Do you want to take the opportunity to assassinate the third prince?"
"That's right."
But at this time, another staff member said: "This is no longer possible."
"The third prince has been loyal to all ministers and has accepted the emperor's will in person."
"To rebel now is to commit rebellion, and the other side will have a legitimate reason to eliminate you."
"It's better to just go with the flow and then become a vassal. Finally, we can build up strength again."
In fact, this staff member is just trying to find a way out for himself.
He had long planned to run away as soon as he left the palace.
"Is this the end of the matter?"
Suddenly, a man in black, covered in a cloak, appeared from behind the eldest prince.
"Who are you?" the eldest prince asked in shock.
The man smiled and said, "Of course it won't end like this."
"Now as long as you go and offer sacrifices to me, I can help you become the emperor."
"Who are you?" The staff member also asked in surprise.
"You can call me ghost." The man in black said.
"Impossible, Zi Buyu has strange powers and chaos, so how can there be any ghosts?"
"Hahaha, fool, your place is originally a world without demons." The man in black smiled and said,
"But now, under the influence of someone, it has begun to transform into a world with demons."
The eldest prince and his staff could not understand what he was saying.
What is there and what is not demonic?
Are you talking about the devil?
Wen Rensheng could naturally see it at a glance.
This is where a ghost appears.
He is actually the product of the eldest prince's jealousy, anger and many other extreme emotions.
In addition, the eldest prince was set up by the third prince, and his mentality has collapsed.
Of course, the most important thing is that the third prince also painted a painting.
In the painting, the eldest prince would encounter something strange and be frightened to death.
The result was good, the content of his picture actually activated the strangeness produced by the eldest prince himself.
The third prince's painting was not really successful because the other party was resistant.
This also means that the world has really been changed.
The eldest prince thought for a while, and then decisively made a deal with the man in black.
But his staff advised: "It's better not to deal with such inexplicable things."
"It is often said in folk tales that in this kind of thing, everyone suffers in the end."
"The risk is just too great."
But the eldest prince insisted on having his own way and would not listen to any opinions.
Losing the throne has twisted his mind.
He always thought that he should be the successor in order.
Even if he loses, he still loses to the second prince who keeps fighting.
How come it ended up being a benefit to a disabled person?
Moreover, all his previous good intentions were fed to the dogs.
He couldn't bear to be pitied by the disabled Lao San in the future.
