The jade statue dug out is one foot and three inches tall, and is carved vividly. Even the blind man can tell that it is An Zidao himself. The eight characters on the base are also the birthday of An Zidao. There are only a few people like Prince and others, and outsiders have no idea.

An Zidao trembled his hands and gently stroked the jade statue, revealing pain in his eyes. He remembered the day the prince was born, his gauze hat fell without wind, and both sides regarded it as ominous, and it was indeed today.

Xu You stood very close to An Zidao and could feel the sadness that his aging body was emitting. The once heroic and powerful emperor, at this moment, was just a poor father who was betrayed by his son and daughter.

Everyone around them lowered their heads, not daring to show their anger, for fear that the emperor's thunder anger would harm him. After a long time, An Zidao said coldly: "Lin Shuanghu!"

"I'm here!"

"I ordered the left guard to arrest Li Que'er; ordered the right guard to be imprisoned in the princess's house, and asked her to write a letter to defend herself and search for her room. If there are any letters, I will take them all. I ordered the swordsman to strengthen the palace ban, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without my hand edict; and, Xuan Zhu Daorong, Yu Shi, Gu Zhuo, Liu Ning, Xiao Xunqi and others to meet!"

This was the emperor who finally made up his mind to summon important officials overnight to discuss the destruction of the crown prince. Since ancient times, the deposed crown prince has been a major event, and it has been damaged and broken bones, which has a great impact. An Zidao had several intentions, but he regretted it several times, because he had too many concerns. Of course, he was also afraid that historical writing would be as iron as iron as he was afraid that later generations would say that he was too ruthless.

However, this time the evidence is conclusive and the law is unforgivable. The prince’s plan to rebel is ahead. After thousands of years, no one will call him a cold-blooded person.

"Old slave obeys the order!"

Lin Shuanghu waited for three breaths again, and saw that An Zidao did not speak, and asked, "Where is the East Palace?"

"Don't disturb the beast first, and let the left and right guards act carefully and arrest people secretly. If the news leaks, ask for a crime together!"

"promise!"

Lin Shuanghu sent the order to go, and a sudden burst of coughing came from the terrible quiet Hanzhang Palace. Xu You couldn't help it and spit out a mouthful of blood, dirting a large area of ​​bluestone slabs on the ground as smooth as a mirror.

An Zidao turned his head, with a little concern on his face, and said, "Summon the Imperial Doctor..."

"Cough... Cough, Lord, Xiaomin's home has doctor Wen's medicine. If he sends someone to pick it up, he will be afraid that he will not be able to wait. Please beg him to let Xiaomin leave the palace first and go back to Changganli to take medicine... Ruo, Ruo really dies in the palace, which is too unlucky..."

An Zidao thought about it and found that Xu You could not inform the prince. Moreover, as he said, the sick body was in a state of dying. It was the time when he wanted to be abolished and was unlucky to die in the palace.

"Go, I'm going to raise you. You'll make such a great contribution tonight. I'll get a lot of rewards in a few days!"

"Thank you, Lord, Long!"

Two sword scatters followed Xu You until Changganli never returned to the palace, but guarded directly outside the bedroom door. This was both a protection and a guard. Xu You didn't care. He pretended to take the medicine. Qingming You suddenly appeared indoors and said, "The prince knows that Xue Anguo has entered the palace!"

Xu You made preparations, and he was responsible for sending Xue Anguo to see Anzidao, while Qingming sneaked into the Eastern Palace to warn. I believe that the prince had already discovered that Li Que'er was captured and Princess Shi'an was imprisoned. In addition, several important officials entered the palace, and the picture was exhausted. Next, it depends on who is more cruel and whose hands are darker!

Life and death have fate, and wealth and honor are in heaven!

On the surface, the emperor's strength is naturally the advantage, but the prince has been the crown prince for many years and must have won many confidants to die. In addition, with the help of the Taoist Master, Xu You was very afraid of Sun Guan. This Taoist Master stood in Jiangdong for decades, and it is still unknown who will win the death of the destiny in less than the last moment.

From Xu You's standpoint, it is best for the emperor and the prince to be evenly matched, and it is best to turn the world upside down and shake the foundation of the country. Only then can he take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the situation.

After Li Que'er was arrested, she confessed all without resistance. Princess Shi'an's mansion also found the prince. King Jingling had hundreds of letters from him, and he called An Zidao the other person. His words were very disrespectful. An Zidao was extremely sad and showed the letter to Gu Zhuo and other ministers, saying, "I have no ruthlessness. I intend to depose him. Do you have any objections?" She glanced over and frowned slightly and said, "Where is Xunqi? Why haven't you arrived yet?"

He summoned five people, and all four of them arrived, but only Xiao Xunqi disappeared. As soon as he finished speaking, one person came in from outside the hall, wearing red clothes and purple belts, and had a handsome appearance. It was Xiao Xunqi who was late.

If Xiao is talking about the family, it is really the best bloodline in the world. Both men and women in the family are extremely handsome. Xiao Xunqi's appearance and temperament are a fairy uncle. In later generations, not to mention that he fascinates thousands of girls, he is at least a star-level figure.

An Zidao did not ask Xiao Xunqi why he was late. They were named monarch and ministers, and their love was like brothers. How could he lose face in front of everyone because of this little thing? Besides, Xiao Xunqi controls Sili Mansion, and his whereabouts are already mysterious. He came a little late and was harmless.

Gu Zhuo handed Xiao Xunqi the letter he had just read. He read about a few letters and handed them back to Lin Shuanghu, with a normal expression and sat still. Yu Shi knew Xiao Xunqi's temper. He never expressed his opinions during the meeting and only accepted the emperor's orders. As the Minister of State, he had the most qualifications and was the first to speak: "The prince is so ruthless, I agree with the deposition."

The second one agrees is Gu Zhuo, then Liu Ning. Zhu Daorong, who finally made a statement, chanted the Buddha's name and said, "The Lord still wants King Jianping to take over the position of crown prince?"

An Zidao nodded and said, "I have decided to depose the crown prince. I have summoned all the ministers to meet late at night for the candidates for the new crown prince."

Yu Shi insisted on recommending his son-in-law, An Xiushuo, the king of Nanyang, while Zhu Daorong used to like An Xiushuo, Guangling, the king of Guangling, the most, but in order to prevent the night from falling and dreaming, he changed his mind and supported King Jianping to take over.

Liu Ning also said: "In order to establish a crown prince, the holy mind should be expressed. The minister should make a decision quickly and not delay."

With the support of Zhu Daorong and Liu Ning, An Zidao was very calm and no longer listened to Yu Shi's opinions. Qian Gang made arbitrary decision and ordered people to take King Jianping into the palace.

The plan was decided, and An Zidao ordered Yu Ji, Liu Ning and Gu Zhuo to go to the Shangshutai next to Taiji Hall to investigate the allusions of the Han and Wei dynasties, such as the abolition of the crown prince, and Gu Zhuo was responsible for drafting the edict of the abolition of the crown prince, and waited for the court tomorrow to announce the world.

Only Zhu Daorong and Xiao Xunqi were left in Hanzhang Palace. An Zidao seemed to ask casually: "Xunqi, is there any abnormal movement in the East Palace?"

"Don't worry, from the prince to the second commander, to the generals in the army he won over, they are all under the control of their subordinates. The Crouching Tiger Division is outside and the Eagle and Stone Division is inside, there is no accident!"

The Second Order of the East Palace was abolished for some reason several years ago. Later, the prince changed his temperament and obediently, showing filial piety in his words and deeds, and restored his system, but his military strength was greatly reduced, with only 5,000 people, which could not be achieved.

The central army of the imperial court consisted of six armies, divided into six generals: the leader, guard, left guard, right guard, Yunqi, and Ranger. In addition, there were five garrisons, infantry, Yue cavalry, Changshui, Shooting, and two generals. The left guard and right guard were in the palace, and other troops were in the capital. When there was a war, they were ordered to go out to fight. After the war was completed, they returned to their original place.

In recent years, the prince deliberately conquered and there were many of his disciples in the six armies. However, the emperor had no intention of deposing him, so he let him go. As long as it was not too much, he could let it go, and he should lay the foundation for his succession in the future. Otherwise, once the emperor Bintian had no generals or soldiers in his hands, how could he sit firmly on the throne under his butt?

But now the situation has changed. The emperor wants to depose the crown prince. The generals who were attracted have become unstable factors. Therefore, before the ceremony of the monks in the world, he secretly ordered Xiao Xunqi to monitor it strictly and report it immediately if there is any disturbance.

An Zidao never doubted the methods of Sili Mansion, which was also the reason why he was not in a hurry to send troops to control the Eastern Palace just now.

Taicheng was lively and the East Palace was not behind. After receiving a warning from an unknown person, the prince urgently summoned all subordinates of the East Palace to discuss and sent an eyeliner to inquire about the information. Within three moments, it was almost certain that the emperor was coming this time. King Jingling gritted his teeth and said, "Crown Prince, you can't wait anymore. Don't do it again, let's go back!"

The prince was just thinking this way and said, "Fortunately, you and I were carrying a thorn in a while ago to apologize, so that he would relax his vigilance, which gave us a good opportunity to breathe. Now everything is ready, and it is not necessary to fight to the death."

"That's right!" Yu Dao's charming eyes flashed with excitement and cruel light, and said, "Since he doesn't think about the love between father and son, the prince can't sit still and wait for death. The wind conquers the dragon and the cloud conquers the tiger. If you seek wealth and honor, it's time tonight!"

Wei Tianzhi looked at the left guard and Cao Shu, the right guard and Yin Su, the crossbow general He Zheng, the cavalry general Feng Chaozhi, and the generals of the army as stated, Ren Jian and others, and said, "What do you think?"

Although Feng Chaozhi, the general of the Tunqi, has been very close to the prince in recent years, he has only been speculating and never thought of rebellion. He left the table and knelt down and cried: "I have never heard of this since ancient times, so please think twice."

The prince also cried and said, "I am not filial, but the Lord believes in slander and is about to be deposed when he sees the crime. I ask myself that I have no serious mistakes and do not want to be wronged. As long as General Feng nods, he will be appointed as a marquis and prime minister in the future and will ensure that you, Feng will always enjoy wealth and honor!"

Feng Chaozhi tried hard to dissuade him, annoyed the prince, and glared: "Do you think I can't accomplish anything?"

Feng Chaozhi made up his mind and said, "Things may be accomplished, but what after they can be accomplished? I am afraid that the prince will not be tolerated by heaven and earth, and will die without a place to bury!"

The prince was so angry that he said, "Take it!"

Four little masters stood behind him, only one of them took action, and immediately subdued Feng Chaozhi. He still scolded himself. The prince pulled out a long knife from Cao Shu's waist and snorted, stabbing Feng Chaozhi's chest.

"Who else has any objection?"

Everyone knelt down in a hurry and said, "Do your best to follow the order!"

The prince was so proud that he immediately put on military uniforms inside and covered with red clothes on his face. He ordered the five thousand soldiers of the Eastern Palace to wear strong and hold sharp edges, lit torches, and rushed straight to Taicheng.

At the same time, Shen Muzhi, who had just arrived at a water army dock in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River the day before yesterday, also received the prince's instructions and led all the Shen family's elite warships, totaling 30,000 tiger and wolf soldiers, entered Xuanwu Lake through the mouth of the Yangtze River, and then along the moat, the water surrounding Taicheng was blocked.

When the rest of the army commanders who heard the movements in the city were unknown, most of them were waiting and watching. Suddenly, they received the crown prince Xima Shen Yue holding the crown prince's token, saying that the left guard general Liang Xiu had plotted against rebellion and had taken the lord to occupy Taicheng. The crown prince led his army to besiege him and ordered all troops not to act rashly, so as not to be injured by accident.

Liang Xiu was originally a general of the Wei State and later surrendered to the Southern Dynasties. He was highly appreciated by An Zidao and was valued as the General of the Left Guard and was imprisoned by the palace. It was quite meaningful that the Han Wu used the Jin Ribao.

If you are not my race, your heart will be different. If you say others, there may not be many people who believe it, but Liang Xiu rebelled, but it is easy to reach a consensus. However, there are also those who are ignorant, such as Jiang Ying, the powerful crossbow general, who did not trust Chen Yue. He summoned his troops to rescue Taicheng, but unexpectedly he was stabbed to death by his most capable confidant servant around him, and then claimed to be assassinated by Liang Xiu's assassin, and the military deputy Zhang Chu temporarily took over as the general of the crossbow.

Zhang Chu was originally an old subordinate of the Eastern Palace Second Route. After the emperor sacked the Second Route, many of the original divisions were dispersed and organized into various central military units. According to convention, the connection with the Eastern Palace could be cut off within three months. However, with the strong intervention of the Tianshidao, most of these soldiers were the disciples of the Tianshidao, and they were scattered but not chaotic, and were still firmly controlled by the prince.

There are many people like Zhang Chu, which is also the confidence of the prince to dare to rebel.

An Zidao thought he was sure to win, but he didn't know that his central army had been eroded and had holes. The only ones he could rely on were the left and right guards of Suwei Palace, as well as the invincible sword slut.

The father-son showdown is about to begin!
