Chapter 819 The Imperial Edict Arrives
"What the hell is it?"
The fourth prince's voice came.
In fact, the fourth prince had heard the noise outside a long time ago and knew that his second brother had no intention of letting him out of the city, but now he just can't stay in this city and he must go out.
He actually did not discuss this with other princes. His purpose was to go out quietly, and he did not leave the city under the name of a prince, that is, he pretended to be an ordinary merchant out of the city.
But this was discovered by the commander of the city defense. Obviously, the second prince must have ordered this matter personally, and he specifically reminded that these people should not be let go.
What is the purpose of the second prince doing this?
Normally, this matter cannot involve the Fourth Prince and others. At worst, their second prince and the third prince compete for the throne with Li Yuanhong.
But in fact, things are not that simple, especially in the current situation. Who knows which party the Fourth Prince represents? What is his purpose for leaving the city? If he secretly colludes with someone and plans some things secretly, the second prince will be a little unaffordable.
In addition, he had actually received the news that Li Yuanhong had engaged in a engagement with Bai Feiyan and wanted to make Bai Feiyan the queen. This matter was really serious. He also specially sent someone to find Bai Chaohe, but the Bai family seemed to have not responded and sent him. The people said that the Bai family was busy with official business and had no time to see anyone. Unless the emperor came in person, no one would see him.
This matter is a bit interesting. Bai Chaohe took his children to the basement. In fact, this basement is the Bai family's ancestral hall. The purpose is to tell some secrets of the family. Naturally, he does not want to be disturbed by outsiders, so he will naturally explain to his servants. It is probably just that if the servant told the outsider that he was not convenient for him to show up for the time being.
Actually, this matter is nothing, but the current situation is sensitive. If there is any slightest disturbance, all forces will have various speculations. Just imagine, the second prince is actually anxious at the moment. The eldest brother will take the lead in the throne. So will it be better to go back to the future? Li Yuanhong is coming to deal with him. If he doesn't deal with him, Li Yuanhong may not be able to remain peaceful.
Therefore, Bai Chaohe said that he had something to do and could not meet the second prince. The second prince was anxious at once, so he had to lock down the city immediately, otherwise anyone would leave. Otherwise, if there was any change, his second prince would be He became the loser in this battle for the throne.
The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. Of course, his second prince knows that the relationship here is extremely important, so it is normal for him to let someone stop these fourth princes.
The fourth prince did not know that Bai Feiyan was about to be established by Li Yuanhong, so he thought that as long as he escaped from this place, he would be fine.
In this way, the fourth prince certainly didn't know what was going on. Now he was about to show up when he could not get out.
The commander of the city defense saw that the fourth prince came out, so he was naturally respectful.
"Your Highness!"
He didn't dare to offend the fourth prince, after all, he was the emperor's son. Now, who dares to offend the second prince? Even if he is the second prince, he hopes to win the support of the fourth prince, especially for such a thing, he can bring a brother to help. It's definitely beneficial.
Not to mention that the fourth prince actually has some power, and other princes still follow the fourth prince, and the fourth prince has no idea of seizing power. Everyone knows this, Li Yuanhong knows, the second prince knows, and the third prince knows it.
This is a thing that is known to all over the world. The second prince will naturally not make his subordinates so stupid, and the people under his command will not be so stupid. They also know that although the fourth prince does not have any real power, there are still some in the royal family. prestige.
Therefore, this commander is honest and polite, and he must not be disrespectful to the Fourth Prince.
The fourth prince came over and saw that the other party was quite polite and humble, and knew that there was something else about the superiority and inferiority. He was not surprised. He just asked, "Sir, why did you stop me?"
The fourth prince didn't talk nonsense to the other party, but just asked the other party why they did this.
Seeing that the fourth prince was still quite domineering, the commander was a little frightened. The people from this imperial family all had a domineering aura, and the fourth prince was no exception.
Therefore, the commander quickly replied carefully: "Go back to Your Highness, this is what the Second Highness means. Your Highness asks you to take care of all the princes and not let you make any mistakes."
"presumptuous!"
The fourth prince was furious and taught a lesson directly, "You are very brave. Even you dare to stop me. Are you planning to rebel?"
"No, I don't dare, I don't dare!"
The commander knelt down on the spot. This royal aura is not something that ordinary people can bear. Although the princes compete for power and profit, the fourth prince did not participate much and did not intend to be the throne, it does not mean that the fourth prince is a soft persimmon, so he is so casual.
The emperor's son, who was not raised in the palace since childhood, was always worshipped and respected by others since childhood. This innate momentum directly suppressed the small commander of the capital. .
Seeing the other party kneeling down and panic, the fourth prince then restrained his momentum a little.
"Forget it, open the city gate, I want to go out and relax!"
"this……"
The commander was in a dilemma. He obeyed the second prince, but he did not dare to offend the fourth prince. You must know that if you inexplicably stop the royal relatives, it is equivalent to rebellion.
You may not care much about the servants of the Fourth Prince. At worst, everyone is slaves, so it doesn't matter, but it won't work for the Fourth Prince. If you really offend this, it won't be a problem for the Fourth Prince to directly take his head in anger. of.
As a prince, killing a small commander of the capital is nothing, who dares to say that it is a word of no word? Another thing is that the city gate defense is not the final say, he, the commander of the capital gate. If anyone is blinded and wants to curry favor with the fourth prince in secret, then jump out and take him down.
Talking about ten thousand words, the fourth prince is the prince after all, and he cannot be offended. Moreover, the fourth prince's tone is also clear. Li Yuanhong has ascended the throne now. Since that is the case, Li Yuanhong is the emperor. No matter how disagreeable the fourth prince is in his heart , but as a neutral prince, he still needs to support him on the surface.
Therefore, he changed his words and called himself the king, not the Emperor. This is different. The commander of the Dumen did not serve on the first day in this court, so he naturally knew the tricks here.
So, as long as the Fourth Prince gives the order, his head may be moved at any time. Could it be that any commander followed him and followed the second prince and supported the second prince without hesitation at the risk of being confiscated?
As the saying goes, people's hearts are unpredictable, and this is hard to say. The only thing that is, the main core generals in the army are on the side of the second prince, but they have something to rely on. What can he, the commander of the capital, have? Rely on?
Therefore, this guy had no choice but to say, "Okay, then... open the city!"
"Slow down!"
Just as the commander of the capital was compromising and was about to open the city gate and let the fourth prince go out, a voice suddenly came.
At this moment, the commander of the capital was very surprised because he had no intention of detaining the fourth prince. This was a serious crime of rebellion. In fact, he could not confront the fourth prince. Although he was standing on the side of the second prince, he was on the side of the second prince. , but in fact it is because of the city defense army's general.
He is a mere little commander, the position of centurion, and he doesn't need to sit and wait for beheading and extermination. At most, if he pursues it, he will just stop doing it. Who would be willing to do such an errand? ?
This salary is not much. For such a small salary, I will offend the prince, beheaded and exterminated again. Is that worth it?
This is true for everyone. Unless huge interests are involved in it, no one can take such a big risk, and this little commander thinks so.
The city defense army's general is different. They have great power. If the second prince gets the final result and the second prince ascends the throne, then his profit will be amazing. Besides, he has nothing to do with it. The risk can be said. At worst, it means that the subordinates are ignorant and ineffective in doing things, and offend the prince, so that the small commander of the capital will take the blame.
Therefore, the young commander of the Dumen is not stupid, and it is impossible to say that he can stop the fourth prince. The second prince probably knows this, maybe he is to monitor the situation here at any time, and the person here was sent by the second prince. ?
In fact, it is not. Whether it is the commander of the capital or the fourth prince, they all thought that the second prince sent someone to stop him again, but the person coming was not the second prince's person, but the person in the palace, that is the Jinyiwei.
The leader of the Jinyiwei came closer. They first clasped their fists to the fourth prince, and then took out a Huang Chengcheng imperial edict.
"Opinion!"
With the rumor of promulgation, everyone was panicked and knelt down one after another. Even the fourth prince was no exception. He had to kneel down immediately, and his expression changed slightly.
Obviously, he probably felt what Li Yuanhong meant, and this elder brother was now staring at everyone.
That's right, the second prince can stare at everyone, and then the prince Li Yuanhong cannot not stare at everyone's every move. Even if Li Yuanhong is rough, he doesn't care how these people jump, because Li Yuanhong feels that with his current power of the gods, don't He said that he was not afraid even if the gods came.
This is Li Yuanhong's confidence, but the old man, the Grand Secretary of the State, does not think so. Sometimes, the best strategy is to be without bloodshed. There is no need to let Li Yuanhong take action. Besides, the old man didn't know that Li Yuanhong secretly colluded with the evil god. I don’t know what profit I betrayed and what profit I received.
Therefore, the old man immediately wanted to monitor everyone, what does the Jinyiwei do? They were originally used by the royal family to deal with those rebellious purposes, and were all sharp blades used to clean the monarch. Now that the Fourth Prince is about to leave the city, the Grand Secretary of the Supervisor will know it as soon as possible. Therefore, the Jinyiwei appeared instantly In front of them.
The Grand Secretary of the State Administration is the Prince's Grand Tutor, and he has great power. He can take charge of the government affairs on behalf of General Li Yuanhong. Then the next imperial edict is nothing. The dragon seal is still in his hands, and Li Yuanhong is treating this person. The teacher is also very relieved. Others can't say anything, but the teacher has watched him since he was a child.
If you don’t give the power of the Grand Secretary of the State to the State, do you still have to give it to others?
Although Li Yuanhong was completely trusting the national teacher because he was his uncle, but Li Yuanhong still knew what kind of virtue the national teacher was. He was not very smart enough. Although his methods were cruel, he was loyal to him. But not smart enough, and not that good at doing things.
Let the national master come to do business, then forget it, but the national master is not completely useless. The entire Dayan City is full of the national master's eyeliner. If there is any slight disturbance, the national master will know it immediately. Yes, the national teacher also has an extremely complex and huge network of relationships in this capital. Anyone, anything happens, the national teacher knows.
Therefore, there is a national teacher here as a spy to monitor any disturbances in Dayan City, and there is a grand sage of the Grand Secretary of the State and the Grand Tutor in charge of the court. What else is there to worry about Li Yuanhong?
That's right, the second prince has military power, but now the Grand Secretary of the State Administration has pulled the fire from the bottom of the cauldron, which makes the second prince panic. In the future, it is to deal with the third prince. Li Yuanhong does not need to take action in this matter. Two old people Guys will do it very neatly for him.
Also, although this civil servant is always on his side, it is because of the national teacher. The national teacher is not good at anything else. The ability to form cliques and do bad things is definitely very good.
Therefore, the civil servants in Dayan City remained unmoved, and basically followed Li Yuanhong's leader. As long as the civil servants and literati stood on Li Yuanhong's side, wouldn't they let him, the new emperor write a beautiful article?
So, don’t underestimate the civil servants. Civil servants are also powerful. Once they become criticized, thousands of troops may not be their opponents. The second prince obviously underestimated Li Yuanhong’s strength. All civil servants in the court are standing on Li Yuanhong’s side. , then the throne of Li Yuanhong is actually stable.
At least in terms of legitimacy, he has no problem, but it only takes some time to seize greater power, such as military power, such as economic power. As long as Li Yuanhong takes these, he will be as stable as Mount Tai.
Li Yuanhong can truly achieve the throne, and once he achieves the throne, the rest of the matter is likely to follow.
His mind is not right, and his collusion with the evil gods will be a misfortune for the people of the world in the future. Almost no one knows this for the time being, nor does anyone know that there will be severe turmoil in Xiyanshan.
All of this is slowly developing in a direction unknown but destined in the dark.
It seems that the only one who can stop this disaster is Zhang Zhiwen, but in fact, Zhang Zhiwen seems to be unable to stop it. He is unable to kill Li Yuanhong at present. This guy has powerful magical powers to protect him. Although this magical power is not worth it compared to a great magical power. As soon as he mentioned it, he was also a faint mysterious magical power, but just such a thin layer of mysterious magical power, Zhang Zhiwen could not do anything to the other party.
Furthermore, Zhang Zhiwen didn't know that there were hidden dangers here, and a bigger disaster was coming soon. Once the disaster came, he didn't know where he would go.
