    One of the main halls of the imperial palace, inside the Chui Gong Hall

    All the ministers in the court were shocked by the words of the imperial censor. They did not expect that someone would be so courageous to even say these words. If these are true, then I am afraid it will really break the news. The Holy Spirit does not know  How furious he must be.

    For a moment, there was no other sound in the hall except the voice of the imperial censor. All the ministers were silent, not knowing what to say. Only the prince and the officials from his lineage turned blue.  Want to refute.

    But after being glared at by the Holy One above, he immediately didn¡¯t dare to be such a showy person and could only remain silent.

    ¡°If you have evidence, present it to me!¡±

    Although there was no emotion or anger in Emperor Jianxi's voice, everyone knew that he must be angry at this time. Just yesterday, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue had been arguing with Emperor Jianxi for a long time over one million taels of disaster relief money. Now, now  I heard that his second son had made more than 50 million by selling private salt.

    How can you not be angry?

    "Report to the Holy Spirit, there is evidence.

    "I have account books and correspondence here. Although the prince is not mentioned in them, all the people involved are from the prince's disciples. If it is said that they took 50 million taels of silver without telling the prince.

    I believe that none of the ministers here believe it.  "

    With that said, the imperial censor took out a general ledger and several letters involving the prince's disciples from his sleeve, and handed them to the eunuch.

    This is of course not all.

    It¡¯s just the most important part.

    But this part is enough.

    Next it was time for Emperor Jianxi to check the account books and letters. Most of the ministers below looked at each other, or looked happy and eager to try, or were nervous and shook their heads worriedly.

    Some officials who had ulterior motives and had even written letters were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat, and one even fainted from fright.

    He was picked up on the spot for being disrespectful to the emperor and dragged to a side hall not far away.

    "Come here, go to Dali Temple for a thorough investigation. All the people involved in the letter will be detained. The prince will be banned. Where is the Prime Minister of Dali Temple? This case must be investigated carefully. Shang Fang will be given a sword. Anyone who obstructs the investigation will be killed first and then reported. Everyone except the royal family  Can be killed without order.

    Retreat from the court!  "

    Emperor Jianxi didn't even give the prince a chance to argue. He didn't even look at the prince before leaving, and just waved his sleeves and left.

    At this moment, all the ministers knew that the prince had touched the emperor's side. If the prince could honestly be a prince and live a life with a loving father and a filial son, then the emperor would naturally be willing to pamper him and show his kindness.  .  But now, everything he does shows that he is coveting the throne, which is something no one who wants to be on the throne wants to see.

    After retiring from the court, the eldest prince's family and other vassal ministers who were competing with the prince were all happy. Next, they will probably prepare more impeachment memorials. If they don't take this opportunity to completely kill the prince, then they will  Where can I find other opportunities? Naturally, I can't let it go.

    ¡°However, everyone miscalculated.

    While the ministers stayed up late writing the impeachment memorial and the Prime Minister of Dali Temple was interrogating the officials, the prince brazenly launched a coup and led 8,000 royal guards and more than 5,000 private soldiers to surround the imperial city.

    He began to force the palace to usurp the throne.

    Of course, in addition to sending troops to surround the palace, he also spared the princely residences of several other princes. All the adult princes who left the palace, except for the sixth prince, all the princely residences of other princes were occupied by the prince.  The rebels surrounded him and began shooting arrows to strangle the prince.

    For a time, the capital was in chaos.

    Some ministers hurriedly hid, some ministers hurriedly tried to find a way to escape, and some ministers hurriedly contacted some military generals, trying to persuade them to rescue the king, or to follow the dragon's merits.

    In the Zichen Hall of the Imperial Palace

    Emperor Jianxi had already planned to go to bed to rest, but then he heard the sound of shouting and killing outside, and received a report from the eunuch.

    Listening to the sounds outside, he let out a long sigh and said, "After all, I still failed to live up to my expectations.

    You can take my tiger charm and mobilize your troops.

    Leave some more people to protect me.  "

    After hearing the order, the secret guard hiding nearby immediately stepped forward to take away the tiger talisman, quickly disappeared again, and left the palace to find the general to mobilize troops.

    "Another half-quarter of an hour later, the prince held a long sword, killed the guard guarding the door, kicked open the door of the hall, and broke in. Those who came in with him were those he had cultivated in private.The soldiers and the leaders of the Royal Forest Army, totaling hundreds of people.

    Of course, everyone else is fine too. The main reason is that due to the size of this hall, if there are too many people, it will not only be crowded, but also prone to accidental injuries.

    What's more, the current prince is very complacent, and he doesn't think his father will be prepared in advance. Therefore, he naturally thinks that a few hundred people are enough to force him to ascend the throne.

    ¡°You¡¯re so brave, Nizi!

    Do you still want to usurp the throne by killing your father?  "

    In the main hall, Emperor Jianxi was standing at the top of the main hall with his sword in hand, asking angrily.

    "Father, you want my life. How can I sit still and wait for death? If I want to blame you, just blame the imperial censor who exposed this matter. No, you don't need to blame him. After I ascend the throne, I will naturally kill him.  The corpse was broken into thousands of pieces, chopped into pieces and fed to the dogs.

    ¡°Father, are you writing the abdication edict yourself or should I write it for you? You have to know that whether you write it or not, there will always be an abdication edict.

    If you write it, I don't want to bear the name of patricide. Just like Li Shimin, the king of Qin, I want you to be the supreme emperor with peace of mind. But if you don't write it, then your father will have bad luck and be killed by a  The soldier was accidentally killed.  "

    Although the prince was smiling at this time, with the bloody sword in his hand and the blood splattered on his face and clothes, at first glance it was quite scary, giving him the illusion of a perverted murderer.

    As he spoke, the generals and soldiers beside him had already drawn their swords or swords.

    ¡°You are really my good son!

    ¡°You really think I can¡¯t do anything to you?¡±

    "If you give up now and retreat, I can spare your life, but if you are still stubborn and rebellious, then don't blame me for being ruthless."  "

    Although Emperor Jianxi was a little disappointed, after all, this was a child he had personally raised for more than ten years.

    I really don¡¯t want to give up just like that.

    However, the prince now felt that the throne was within reach, so how could he give up? After listening to Emperor Jianxi's words, he immediately waved to the soldiers and generals behind him to start taking action.

    Emperor Jianxi also quickly waved his hand to signal the secret guards hidden in his hall to take action.

    However, although all of those secret guards were elites, their numbers were limited and they could not withstand being surrounded by hundreds of soldiers with endless energy. They could only hold out for less than half a quarter of an hour before they died.  Or disabled, almost no one could stand up, and the situation suddenly became critical.

    The next moment, the prince's sword was swung at Emperor Jianxi. Even Emperor Jianxi, who had always been very confident, couldn't help but narrow his pupils. At this time, the eunuch standing next to him stood up and blocked it with his neck, saving him.  Emperor Jianxi.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
