Chapter 347: The Winner Is King
Translator: 549690339
As the saying goes, a gentleman loves money and takes it in the right way. When the palace gates opened and Zheng Zhi’s head was chopped off, some people directly rushed to Taiji Palace with their swords.
Only the Empress and the Crown Prince were worth more!
However, he had long been alert. When he saw that there were too many people surrounding Zheng Zhi, to the point that not even a drop of water could pass through, he could not even snatch the opportunity, so he targeted Taiji Palace.
After all, the empress and the crown prince were worth more. Ten thousand taels of gold.
Until Sikong Xiao, Xie Xian, and the others escorted Prince Xin ‘an to Taiji Palace, they heard the Crown Prince’s mournful cry before they even entered the palace.
Zheng Zhi had left all his soldiers in Taiji Palace to protect Empress Wang and the Crown Prince. He did not bring anyone with him. This was also why he had been killed so quickly in front of the palace gates. There was not even a single guard.
For the sake of ten thousand taels of gold, wave after wave of people rushed in. In the end, there was really one who rushed in.
That person killed everyone he saw, including countless palace maids and eunuchs. In the end, he was afraid that the Crown Prince would take the opportunity to run around, so he simply kicked the Crown Prince’s leg and broke it, then put a knife to Empress Wang’s neck.
When the King of Xin ‘an entered the West Hall, he saw Empress Wang standing there expressionlessly. Although she had a knife to her neck and saw the King of Xin’ an surround Taiji Palace with his army, all her plans had failed, but she still did not lose her momentum and did not even blink.
Even Xie Xian couldn’t help but sigh in admiration at his bearing.
On the other hand, the Crown Prince was a little ugly. He had been screaming when his leg was broken. When he saw the Xin ‘an King, he did not care about the pain in his leg. He cursed the Xin’ an King for being a traitor and plotting to usurp the throne.
“I’m the Crown Prince. Father is dead, so it’s only right and proper for me to inherit the throne. Crown Prince! No, I am the emperor now! I am the emperor!”
” You colluded with Xiao Yun and the Xie family to rebel. You are all sinners of Daliang. You are all traitors!”
“Shut up!” As soon as the Xin ‘an Prince spoke, tears gushed out.” You, you and the Wang family are the sinners of Daliang. You and your son poisoned my mother and my father to death. For the sake of the throne, you resorted to unscrupulous means and even summoned all the important ministers of the country into the palace. Those who comply will prosper and those who oppose will perish. General Xue Mu has made great contributions to the country and the people, yet you killed him. Just because General Xue is loyal to the country and loves his country, you killed all the meritorious officials. You deserve to be punished!”
The Xin ‘an King was furious. He even scolded him before he died. He thought that he had ascended the throne too smoothly and won the hearts of the people too much.
Was he the only one with a mouth?
When it came to scolding people, he had never been impressed by anyone other than the Xin ‘an King.
What’s the use of a defeated opponent like you talking so much?
The loser becomes the bandit, and the winner becomes the king!
The hatred of killing his mother and father was irreconcilable. He wanted nothing more than to eat his flesh and blood. What was he doing before he died?
“You win. You can say whatever you want.”The Crown Prince lay on the ground and suddenly burst into laughter as he looked at the roof.”.. I really regret it. I should have killed you first.”He regretted it. How could he have killed Noble Consort Liu in a moment of weakness?
Even if he had made a mistake, he should not have listened to the Empress and stopped killing Xin ‘an King, leaving such a disaster behind. Hiding one’s strength and biding one’s time? Did he feed himself into a dead end?
So he knew that he had won. King Xin ‘an gritted his teeth.
” The Empress and the Crown Prince killed the Emperor and usurped the throne-”
“Sixth King.” Xie Xian suddenly took a step forward. If he didn’t make a sound, the Xin ‘an King would probably issue an imperial edict to kill him before he ascended the throne. If this were to spread, who knew what kind of joke he would become in the future.
You’re not even the emperor, so what kind of imperial edict did you give?
Who gave you the right and guts to execute the Crown Prince and Empress before you even ascended the throne?
“The Crown Prince rebelled and killed the Emperor to usurp the throne. Now that the Emperor has suddenly passed away, the entire country is mourning. However, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day. The Emperor has long intended to depose the Crown Prince and make the six kings the Crown Prince. He hopes that the six kings will prioritize the country and choose a date to ascend the throne to rule the people.”
The King of Huaiyang, who had snatched the first place in Sikong Xiao’s head, knelt down and shouted long live.
Sikong Xiao no longer looked at the Prince of Huaiyang who had been stealing the show frequently. In the past, he had thought that this damn fatty was lucky. Emperor Yu Heng had killed many imperial relatives, but he lived a leisurely life. Relying on the fact that he had been raised by Empress Dowager Pan, he was as close to Emperor Yu Heng as brothers. He enjoyed high positions and high salaries, eating until he was fat and his stomach was full of oil.
Today’s incident came out. At a glance, he really didn’t throw it away for nothing. He didn’t enjoy glory and wealth for nothing. He really knew how to act and flatter.
Sikong Xiao was indeed a military general, but he was not a hothead. There was no reason that he could not win over a freeloader like King Huaiyang. If he could not act well, could he not act badly?
He also shouted,”Please ascend the throne for the country and the people.””
With these two leading the way, everyone in the hall knelt down and shouted long live, their voices resounding through the clouds.
Even the Royal Forest Guard who had raised his saber to the Queen’s neck retracted his saber and knelt down to kowtow to the new Emperor.
Only Empress Wang was still standing there, coldly watching from the side. The Crown Prince lay on the ground and looked at this group of people, finding it even more amusing. If he hadn’t failed on the verge of success, he would be the one being shouted at by these people!
The moment Xie Xian spoke to divert the attention, Xin ‘an King came back to his senses and knew that he had rushed forward.
Hearing these people shouting long live, for a moment, pride rose, almost bursting out of his chest.
Him!
It was him!
He had finally become the emperor. He had not been killed by Empress Wang and her son. He was qualified to stand in front of everyone and kneel in front of him. He was no longer a knife. He was a fish!
King Xin ‘an gritted his teeth. This time, he was really about to burst into tears. He could not control himself.
Ever since Liu Guifei’s death, he had not dared to sleep for many nights. He did not know when the knife would fall from the top of his head and he would lose his life. No matter how much Emperor Yu Heng protected him, his heart had never been at ease.
He didn’t know what the Crown Prince would do, and he didn’t know which wrong step he had taken to lose even the Emperor’s favor. He was like walking on a steel rope on the edge of a ten-thousand-foot cliff, constantly on tenterhooks.
Finally, the bitterness was over!
He had become someone above everyone else!
He was the emperor!
“.. I’m still young, so I’m afraid I can’t take on such a heavy responsibility. I don’t deserve it.”Xin ‘an King repeatedly declined.
He didn’t run to the dragon chair happily as soon as he gave way. Even if he was so happy that his nose was bubbling, he had to act. Otherwise, it would seem like he was scheming.

That night, no one in Jiankang City slept.
Every household had already been stunned by the public opinion. Some only knew that there was a rebellion, and they did not even know whether it was the Crown Prince or the Xin ‘an King who rebelled. Anyway, the shouts of killing in Jiankang City shook the sky, and the torches of the garrison soldiers in the city were as bright as day.
It wasn’t until dawn that the news gradually spread. The Crown Prince had killed the Emperor and forced him to abdicate, plotting a rebellion.
The rebellion had been suppressed by the Xin ‘an King.

How did Xin ‘an King become the emperor?
Second Master Xie and Third Master Xie did not drink much after drinking all night. They waited until dawn. When they heard the news sent by Xie Xian, the two of them looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.
Everyone knew that if Xin ‘an Prince won, it would probably be the best for the Xie family..
