Chapter 33 The Coup
Chapter 33 Coup
In the next few days, Xiao Qi and Zhao Shen lived in the general's mansion, and there was no problem with safety. Everyone was nervous for a few days. When the general had deployed the army, Xiao Qi discussed with the general.
"Now the time is ripe, we have to find a way to force King Wu'an to show his fox tail. How should we do this?" The general thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. You will go to the emperor later and let him go to court tomorrow.
, after officially announcing to the officials that he will abdicate and pass the throne to you, King Wu'an will definitely launch a coup without any delay, so that we will have the opportunity to take him down in one fell swoop and kill all his followers in one fell swoop."
Xiaoqi thought for a while and said: "This is not good. After all, my father is in good health now and can continue to do it. This... this feels a bit like taking advantage of the situation." The general said patiently: "
This is just a pretense. If King Wu'an can't wait to jump out and rebel, then you don't have to do it. So, now you go and talk to the emperor about this idea, is it okay?"
Xiao Qi had nothing to say, so she could only say: "Okay, then I will ask my father now. Senior brother, please use an invisibility technique on me." Zhao Shen said: "Okay, I
Got it." Then he cast an invisibility technique on Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi said to the general: "Then I'll go first, bye." The general also said: "Be careful, don't be discovered."
Xiao Qi said confidently: "It's okay. There are no cultivators in the palace now, and there is a senior brother next to me. It doesn't matter, I'll go now."
After saying that, he and Zhao Shen flew to the palace together. The palace was so quiet at night, so quiet that it felt a little scary, as if something was going to happen. Zhao Shen and Xiao Qi quietly sneaked into the emperor's palace.
Seeing that the emperor was pretending to be ill, Xiao Qi walked over and said softly: "Father, it's me. I'm here to discuss something with you." The emperor sat up quickly and said: "What's the matter? Is it Wu An?
Has the king attacked you?" Xiao Qi said movedly: "No, the general thinks the time is ripe. He has quietly deployed troops to surround the capital. As long as King Wu'an moves, we can annihilate him immediately. But...
"The emperor was puzzled and asked: "Just what?" Xiao Qi seemed to have mustered up the courage and said: "It's just that the general said that there is no excuse yet, and he wants to force King Wu'an to show his flaws, and wants you to go to court tomorrow to pretend to make an announcement.
Abdicate and make way for me, then King Wu'an will be eager to rise up and resist, and then we can justifiably get rid of him and his followers."
After hearing this, the emperor thought for a moment and said: "This is a good idea, but we don't need to pretend to abdicate, but really abdicate to you." Xiaoqi immediately wanted to defend after hearing this, but was immediately interrupted by the emperor.
He interrupted and continued: "I know what you want to say, but now that my father is old and has experienced so many storms, many people have been displaced and homeless. These are all my father's fault.
The next thing will be borne by you alone."
Xiaoqi choked and said: "Father..." The emperor said directly: "Okay, son, I will do as you say tomorrow. Father is tired, let him rest." Xiaoqi walked out slowly.
After leaving the palace, he and Zhao Shen returned to the General's Mansion.
When the general saw them coming back, he immediately came out to greet them and asked, "How is it? Does the emperor agree with this plan?" Xiao Qi looked up at the general, then walked straight into the house.
The general, Monk Zhanger, was confused. What on earth was going on? So he asked Zhao Shen behind him, "Little brother, what on earth is going on? Why didn't His Highness the Prince say a word when he came back? The Emperor
Do you agree to this plan?"
Zhao Shen looked at the general's anxious look and said, "Your Majesty, the plan has gone too far, and I really plan to abdicate to my junior brother." The general was stunned for a moment, and murmured in a low voice: "This can be regarded as a success.
The lie has come true. No, I have to quickly deploy the troops." After saying that, he left in a hurry. Zhao Shen sighed and went into the house.
On the other side of King Wu'an, his room was filled with many people, all of whom were his confidants. He said a little hastily: "I got the latest news. The old man has decided to pass the throne to the prince tomorrow. What should we do?
Huh?" The people below all became confused when they heard it. They were noisy and didn't look like ministers at all. King Wu'an was so noisy that he was upset and said: "Noisy, noisy, you all know how noisy is, now it's fast.
Death is imminent, why don't you come up with an idea quickly?" At this time, a man came out from below and said, "Your Majesty, why don't we take a preemptive strike? As soon as the emperor announces the order, we will surround the palace and force him to
He abdicated and killed all those who did not surrender." After hearing this, King Wu'an felt that this idea was a good one and said: "Okay, let's do it according to this idea, and quickly mobilize our troops into the city tonight.
Let’s see what else they will use against me tomorrow. It’s a pity that the general refuses to support me, otherwise we would have held a grand celebration banquet in the palace by now. I hope he won’t cause any trouble for me tomorrow.”
Early the next morning, the emperor went to court with his "sickness" and saw that everyone was there. The emperor asked the eunuchs to read the edict and let the prince ascend the throne. He was not feeling well and became the emperor. As soon as the edict was read, the eunuchs immediately got up.
There was a great response and everyone was talking about it. After hearing this, King Wu'an and his gang were the first to ask: "Your Majesty, you said that the crown prince should be enthroned, but where is the crown prince? Why isn't he here? And I don't accept it. I want to know my martial arts skills."
, nothing is better than the crown prince, so if you want to give up the throne, you should give it to me."
The emperor said in a sick voice: "You... do you want to rebel?" King Wu'an said loudly: "Rebellion is all right. Anyway, if I don't rebel, I will be killed by you and my son sooner or later. Come on, surround me.
Here." After saying that, many soldiers rushed in from outside and surrounded the entire palace. King Wu'an said arrogantly: "Haha, those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. You old man, why don't you get out of here?
Come down."
At this time, a voice came from outside and said: "I just want to rebel against you, how about it?" King Wu'an looked back and saw that it was Prince Li Qi who walked in, accompanied by Zhao Shenxiang of course. He said:
