"What Mr. Xuan said is true, but I was confused before..."
In the palace, Xue Qinghe heard his proposal to involve the Third Education Committee of Tiandou Royal Academy in this incident, but he hesitated for a moment before arranging for someone to invite the strong men from the Third Education Committee and other colleges into the palace.
Originally, the less people knew about what happened tonight, the better. However, with Xue Xing, Xue Beng and others escaping from the palace, this matter will probably become more and more troublesome. In this case, Xue Qinghe can only use all his strength, and he must
Let those rebellious officials and traitors pay the price.
"Your Highness, Mr. Yi is here to report that Your Majesty is awake."
Just when Xue Qinghe and other confidants were discussing how to get the generals in the city to take control of the imperial capital as soon as possible, his subordinates reported that Emperor Xue Ye had been rescued.
Xue Qinghe hesitated for a moment. He first discussed the matter with his subordinates and made various plans before entering the palace to see his father again.
"Father."
Xue Qinghe was startled when he saw his father again. Emperor Xue Ye seemed to have aged much in a short period of time, with gray hair, a wrinkled face, and some black blood at the corner of his mouth that had not been wiped clean.
"Your second uncle and fourth brother are here."
Emperor Xue Ye looked at Xue Qinghe coldly. Although he was weak at this moment, he showed an unspeakable power, which made Xue Qinghe feel a little scared.
"Father, my second uncle and my fourth brother led people to break into the palace and even let Dugu Bo use poison. They must have had an affair with Wuhun Palace~"
"You are confused, don't do things confidentially, and you act so recklessly and attack your uncle and brother. Do you really want to piss me off to death?"
Emperor Xue Ye shouted sharply, but it scared Xue Qinghe half out of his soul. Fortunately, the father had no intention of pursuing the matter further. He looked at Xue Qinghe who was a little cowed, sighed and said: "But it seems
, you are really not crazy, you still care about my life.
The reason why I was poisoned this time is strange, there may be other moles in the palace."
Emperor Xue Ye observed Xue Qinghe's reaction as he spoke. Seeing that the prince looked a little uneasy, he vaguely guessed that he had a problem. He was afraid that the prince was also involved, but the poison that just broke out should have nothing to do with him.
Otherwise, this stupid son wouldn't have to bother ordering people to save him.
"How is the situation now?"
Emperor Xue Ye sighed in his heart and asked about the situation outside again. Now that he was controlled by Xue Qinghe, his heart was more inclined to this prince. Naturally, he still had to show an attitude of intimacy with Xue Qinghe.
After hearing this, Xue Qinghe hurriedly said: "Father, my second uncle and my fourth brother gathered their old troops after escaping from the palace. They really want to rebel..."
"Good thing you did."
Emperor Xue Ye glared at the prince angrily. He naturally understood in his heart that Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng were most likely forced to rebel by Xue Qinghe. However, in the current situation, he could only stand by the prince's side.
This is not because Emperor Xue Ye is an old fool, nor does it mean that he has no grudges against Xue Qinghe, but a consideration made after weighing the interests.
Although Xue Beng and Xue Qinghe were both his sons, he had always paid more attention to the prince Xue Qinghe. He rarely saw this one, and he had been training him for many years, so he was naturally biased in his choice.
Xue Beng and Xue Xing are now entangled. Let’s not talk about whether they were unjustly accused and forced to rebel. If they succeed in defeating Xue Qinghe, it will definitely not be a good thing for Emperor Xue Ye.
Xue Beng has been a playboy for many years. After seizing the throne, he will definitely rely on Xue Xing at least in the early stage. No matter how close Xue Xing is to him, he is only his brother after all. It is difficult to say that he will not have thoughts about the throne. Emperor Xue Ye must consider this.
Although Prince Xue Qinghe was a little rebellious, he was still his son, and at least people had bothered to save him just now, which showed that he was not really a wolf-hearted person. Emperor Xue Ye naturally had a choice.
"Qinghe, I can order the deployment of troops to protect the palace. If Xue Beng and Xue Xing are really impulsive, you promise me that they will not fight against each other."
Emperor Xueye thought for a moment and then spoke in a deep voice. Although he had transferred a large part of his power to Xue Qinghe, he still tightened his grip on military power, especially the city guards and imperial guards.
The real elite of the royal guards are not actually in the palace, at least not all in the palace that Xue Qinghe currently controls. If Emperor Xue Ye ordered the deployment of troops, he would still be sure to quell this chaos.
"Father, I have already ordered people to invite the three education committee members and other ministers. With the current situation, I want to try it myself."
Xue Qinghe naturally heard what Emperor Xue Ye meant, but he also had his own considerations. If he really wanted Emperor Xue Ye to mobilize troops to quell the chaos, there was a high probability that the situation would be out of his control. This was in line with his deepest thoughts.
Contradictory.
"If that's what you want, then that's up to you. It's fine if the education committee and all of you come to pay tribute."
Emperor Xue Ye glanced at Xue Qinghe, and he could figure out what his son was thinking just by looking at each other. After thinking for a moment, he also nodded.
His own idea is to quell the chaos as soon as possible, but now that the palace is controlled by Xue Qinghe, the prince must cooperate. The prince obviously wants to completely destroy Xue Xing and Xue Beng and settle the matter, so he is not willing to let him give the order for the time being.
Intervene.
And if nothing else goes wrong, his second brother Xue Xing is also unwilling to fail. The uncle and nephew must be thinking about a collision now. This is certainly not a good thing for the royal family, but Emperor Xue Ye can't stop it for the time being.
ah.
Although he is skilled in skills, he is still just an old man. Faced with this situation, he can only agree. Anyway, he is already awake now, thinking that when the royal education committee and the priest come over, he is sure to solve everything.
If these people want to make a fuss, then let's continue it.
…
In the early hours of the morning, a chilling atmosphere enveloped the entire Tiandou City. Within the palace, countless imperial guards were vigilantly guarding all sides of the palace gates.
Just when a hint of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, at the end of the long street in the distance, a loud horn sound sounded, and a murderous aura swept over, and the guards guarding the gate became nervous one by one.
There was a vague reflection on the street corner in the distance. A group of about a thousand elite Guards infantrymen quickly arrived outside the palace gate. Then there was the sound of kicking horse hooves in the distance. Not only the infantry, but also the cavalry were following.
Then they surrounded the palace gate.
The rapid sound of hooves was like thunder, and the many imperial guards who were standing high couldn't help but make a noise. From a distant street corner, a group of fully armored heavy cavalry galloped over. These cavalry were obviously the best among the elite, uniformly made of black steel.
The armor is almost non-reflective, and its uniform movements make people feel an invincible power.
Thousands of cavalrymen galloped all the way, their horses' hooves trampling on the blue stone pavement, making a very rhythmic thundering sound.
These elite knights are also extremely skilled in controlling horses. A thousand cavalrymen actually formed a long queue, compact and neat, and even the sound of horse hooves was so consistent.
Before these cavalry arrived, the infantry who had already surrounded the palace gate had already set up a square formation and moved out of the way. The cavalry suddenly slowed down. The horses were controlled by good riding skills. No horse lost its rhythm and was in order.
Stopped under the Imperial City.
The thousand knights suddenly separated into two teams like a wave, and then in the wave of more ice armor, a group of elite knights guarding a few people slowly rode to the front of the queue.
"Your Highness, the Guards are probably at least 10,000 strong."
At this time, some figures also appeared on the imperial city. Prince Xue Qinghe and his confidants took the lead. Under the protection of several generals, they looked at the invisible Tiandou Guards at the end of the street from a distance.
"If Xuexing really wants to rebel, why don't he just stay in the Prince's Mansion?"
Even if Xue Qinghe was mentally prepared, he was still furious when he saw so many soldiers surrounding the imperial city. The imperial guards still had some ideas. As for the Imperial Guards, unless ordered by Emperor Xue Ye,
His weight as a prince is really not comparable to that of Xue Xing.
At this moment, in front of the Imperial City Palace Gate, a large number of people from the Imperial City Guards and the Imperial City Guards were confronting each other. The amount of noise caused by these murderous scenes naturally caused an undercurrent to surge throughout Tiandou City.
.
In fact, ever since Xue Xing and Xue Beng successfully broke through and rushed out of the imperial city, the commotion has been out of control. The current huge scene has only torn off the last fig leaf of the royal family and made many people aware of this internal struggle for imperial power.
Case.
"Prince Xuexing, if I remember correctly, you have already been taken back from your military power. Generals, you are the pillars of the empire. You are probably deceived by others today. If you find yourself lost, I can ask your majesty to let bygones be bygones..."
Above the imperial city, Xue Qinghe saw more and more city guards appearing. He knew in his heart that he could not drag it out any longer, so he quickly appeared at the top of the city and spoke loudly. The prince himself appeared in person to speak, and also talked about the rebellion.
Such remarks naturally caused a commotion among the city guards.
As mentioned before, Emperor Xueye gave up a lot of power in order to cultivate Xue Qinghe. Everyone in the empire knew that the emperor valued the prince, and they also knew that this person would most likely inherit the throne in the future.
Although the generals of the city guard were more biased toward Prince Snow Star, the soldiers at the bottom were somewhat commotion. After all, the prince had come forward to say that they were plotting rebellion, so naturally some people had concerns.
"Xue Qinghe, you are a beast who has no regard for human ethics. As the eldest brother, you killed your father and killed your younger brother. You poisoned the second and third princes successively, and also harmed your brother, Emperor Xueye. I, the prince, have received a secret order and must put things right."
At this time, the voice of Prince Xue Xing also came from the Guards. He came with great fanfare. Naturally, he would not let Xue Qinghe continue to succeed. He must pull down the prince today.
"Xue Xing, you actually dare to speak such nonsense and slander. You are also falsely conveying the emperor's orders, the secret edict is false, and the rebellion is true. I think you really don't want to live anymore."
Xue Qinghe was naturally very dissatisfied with what Prince Xue Xing said. There were some things he had never done at all, so how could he admit it? Moreover, in his eyes, Xue Xing was now a traitor and a traitor, and he must be destroyed.
