Emperor Ming Yuan was still in Concubine Qin's palace. After having dinner, they sat together and talked about the past. Even though talking about the past was sad, it at least relieved the pain in Emperor Ming Yuan's heart.
"You...who are you?
Why did you rush in..." A frightened voice came from outside, but it stopped abruptly.
Emperor Ming Yuan was slightly startled. He raised his head and ordered Eunuch Mu Ru, who was standing outside the curtain, "Go and see what's going on."
"yes!"
As soon as Eunuch Mu Ru turned around, he saw a black shadow pressing over him. He subconsciously took action to restrain this person, but the black shadow quickly landed on the back of his neck with the knife. A dull pain came from him, and his head buzzed.
, and fell down in a daze, barely able to see clearly who the person in front of him was.
The curtain opened and fell again, and the tall figure was covered by the bead curtain, and the person had already entered the hall.
Emperor Ming Yuan's face changed from anger to shock, and he blurted out, "Uncle?"
Concubine Qin was shocked at first, but after she saw who was coming, she said displeasedly: "How could the prince just break into the harem?
This is my bedroom, I hope the prince will be more dignified!"
Prince Anfeng's cool eyes fell on Concubine Qin's face, and Qin's heart suddenly frightened, "You..." "Get out!"
Prince Anfeng's emotionless voice sounded deeply in the palace, as if it was carrying an echo, and it was full of lingering power.
Concubine Qin looked at Emperor Ming Yuan, who raised his hand and said, "Get out!"
Concubine Qin saw that Prince Anfeng's visit was unkind and she did not dare to stay, so she hurriedly left.
In the palace, there were only two men confronting each other. Prince Anfeng was 1.9 meters tall. His tall figure was as tall as a heavenly general. He completely overwhelmed Emperor Ming Yuan, a Confucian monarch. He took a step back unconsciously, "Uncle.
, what’s the matter with your coming here this time?”
He looked at Eunuch Mu Ru who was lying on the ground outside the curtain, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart. Did he kill Mu Ru?
Prince Anfeng took out a yellow satin edict from his large sleeve pocket and handed it to him, "Look at it!"
Emperor Ming Yuan hesitated for a moment and took the edict. When he saw what was written on it, he was horrified and blurted out, "This...is this a forgery?"
"The letter written by Emperor Xian and stamped with his own seal, does the Emperor say it is false or true?"
Prince Anfeng raised his robe and sat down, looking at Emperor Ming Yuan with a cold expression.
Emperor Ming Yuan only thought it was ridiculous, "I have never seen this edict before!"
Prince Anfeng said: "That's because I never take it out!"
Emperor Ming Yuan sneered, "I don't admit it!"
"Your emperor will admit it, all the officials will admit it, and the entire Northern Tang Dynasty will admit it."
Emperor Ming Yuan stared at him, feeling so panicked that he almost collapsed. It was really ridiculous. After so many years, he actually came with Emperor Xian's edict to seize his throne?
This is absolutely impossible. When Hui Zong came to the court, he was not appointed as the prince. If this edict is true, then even Hui Zong will not be able to ascend the throne.
In panic, Emperor Ming Yuan shouted: "Come, come, capture the traitor!"
Prince Anfeng raised his phoenix eyes and said, "There is no need to shout. I have already sent people to surround the imperial city. All the forbidden troops have been restrained. I will kill you tonight and ascend the throne tomorrow. No one can save you."
Emperor Ming Yuan was furious, "You dare to rebel?
You are so brave, aren't you afraid of being scolded by the world?
My father will definitely not acknowledge this edict. If you dare to kill me, if you dare to ascend the throne, you will be a traitor and will be infamy for thousands of years!"
Prince Anfeng smiled lightly, as if he was confident of victory, and his raised eyes revealed a hint of low-key arrogance, "History is always written by the victors. After I ascend the throne, the historian will record the years of your reign as Emperor Ming Yuan.
You have no merit, no virtue, pedantry and stupidity. I am the way to inherit the heaven and bring order to chaos. After ascending the throne, I will first kill your wife, children and concubines, destroy your achievements during your lifetime, bloodbath the entire palace, and remove all those who are loyal to you. I, the king
Who else can say a word for you in the future? Isn’t it true that history should be written however I want?"
Emperor Ming Yuan was horrified, "You...that's why you killed Mu Ru just now?"
"killed!"
Prince Anfeng's tone was as light as killing an ant.
Emperor Ming Yuan suddenly felt a sweet taste in his throat, "You..." Prince Anfeng looked at him and sneered, "More than just killing him?
Now the harem has probably become a sea of blood, and your beloved concubine, your son, and your other concubines are all probably dead now. Yu Wenyi, your good days are over."
Emperor Ming Yuan was spinning for a while. The mouthful of blood pressed in his throat finally spat out. He shook his body a few times and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Traitor!"
Prince Anfeng looked at him and shook his head, "As an emperor, you are so stupid."
"Don't even think about humiliating me anymore, I will fight with you!"
Emperor Ming Yuan was enraged, but he had no weapons in his hands, but his heart was cold, because he knew that he had weapons, and he was no match for Prince Anfeng. He would only be more humiliated. He stared at Prince Anfeng with scarlet eyes, "You
If you want to kill me, kill me, I will never recognize you as a traitor, nor will I recognize your identity when I meet my ancestors and Emperor Xian."
Prince Anfeng stared at him, his eyes gradually becoming emotional, "Do you know why I want to do this?"
I have been stationed in the army for many years, and I have already had the ability to seize the throne. Why do you come now?
Emperor Ming Yuan said coldly: "You are ambitious and have been planning for a long time. Now that the world is at peace, you want to take advantage of the fishermen."
“The advantage of fishermen?
I heard that the commander of the retreat to the Northern Desert is me, not Xiaoyao Gong. I am fighting bloody battles at the front to defend every inch of land in the Northern Tang Dynasty. Can I be considered to have the advantage of being a fisherman?
Even the weapons developed by the prince and Leng Si were all developed by me in the past. They were just trying to copy the gourd. Without these weapons, and without my strategizing at the front, could this battle be won?
Can you say something about peace in the world?"
"This is your duty as a subject!"
Emperor Ming Yuan did not expect that the army would attack overnight. This shows that this man was so scheming that no one was prepared. How could he accept it?
"What about your duty as a king?"
Prince Anfeng suddenly became angry and slapped the table, causing the tea set on the table to buzz. "Do you still remember your duty as a king?"
Emperor Ming Yuan's eyes turned red and he asked, "Why don't I remember?
In the years since I came to the throne, I have been conscientious and diligent in government affairs. I am not an eternal wise king, nor am I as stupid as you say."
Prince Anfeng said sarcastically: "Really?
Tell me about your outstanding achievements. As long as you can tell them, I will withdraw my troops."
Emperor Ming Yuan said sternly: "The year after I ascended the throne, the Huaijiang River was flooded and the disaster was serious. I personally went to the disaster area to strengthen the dams, and I didn't sleep a wink for three days and three nights."
"But you didn't issue an order to repair the dam afterwards. As a result, the dam collapsed year after year and the floods continued year after year."
"You..." Prince Anfeng said coldly: "You don't have to say that I have seen everything you have done in the years since you came to the throne, and most of the policies you implemented followed your father's policies.
, your father has laid a solid foundation for you. He has cleared up all the chaos for you. He has made friends with the surrounding countries, granted the title of King of Southern Xinjiang, and implemented the policy of stabilizing Southern Xinjiang. Although the national treasury is empty, it is nothing but waste.
It was a good time, but after you came to the throne, you did nothing. Chaos broke out in southern Xinjiang. You used the country's poverty as an excuse to avoid sending troops.
After the Huaijiang River flooded and you came to provide relief, the imperial court had no money left and no repairs were made.
Da Yue Kingdom and Da Xing Kingdom were originally befriended by your father and could communicate with each other for trade, but you used the excuse of revitalizing farming to ignore business."
