Chapter 1001: Crazy, the chaos between the two princes
The Third Prince forgot everything. Even for this rebellion, he did not say a word to the Dongyang and the Hua families in advance. He feared that the Hua and Dongyang families would defect temporarily. He only used his confidants this time.
Things went as smoothly as expected, but he didn’t expect Shi Qianqian to come at the critical moment.
For the sake of his own life, the Third Prince did not dare to delay. After listening to his confidants, he had someone carry the Emperor on his back and leave.
Shi Qianqian came all the way to fight, no… she came all the way slowly.
The Emperor used Shi Yihan’s identity as a threat and had to help the Emperor prevent the third prince from ascending to the throne. This was an insult to Shi Qianqian.
Faced with such humiliation, she worked hard and prevented the Third Prince from ascending the throne as agreed. Even if it was to give the Emperor face, forget about it. She, Shi Qianqian, was not that kind.
Under Shi Qianqian’s deliberate release, the Third Prince and the Emperor escaped from the imperial capital and fled to the south of the Central Empire. They gathered troops in the south and, in the name of escorting the Emperor back to the capital, they returned to the imperial capital with heavy troops, and he tried to ascend to the throne with powerful force.
In the imperial capital, after the Third Prince left, no one of the remaining princes thought about saving the Emperor or preventing the Third Prince from entering the city. Instead, they began to fight for power one by one, hoping to seize the opportunity to ascend to the throne, causing a certain fate. The Third Prince will only suffer the loss of being dumb when he comes back.
This method was naturally good, but the princes didn’t even know if they could ascend to the throne. Even if they ascend to the throne, will they have the ability to hold on to it?
As everyone knows, the Emperor of the Central Empire was not dead yet. He was in the hands of the Third Prince. If they don’t have enough strength, even if the Third Prince does not fight, can they fight with the Emperor and his force to abdicate and be willing to become the supreme emperor?
Unfortunately, facing the temptation of the throne, several princes did not see the crisis. They only saw that the throne was empty, and they were in the capital, closest to the throne. They could sit on the throne as long as they took a step up.
But just when several princes were fighting fiercely, the Eldest Prince, who had been trapped in the temple by the Emperor and was already a useless person in everyone’s hearts, appeared.
With the support of the Dongyang Family and the Hua Family, as well as the seventh prince and the eldest prince’s maternal family, the Eldest Prince took control of the imperial capital, holding the imperial capital’s 200,000 forbidden troops, as well as new black-armored guards.
The original three thousand black-armored guards were wiped out by Xiao Tianyao. Four years ago, the Emperor retrained a group of black-armored guards. However, this black-armored guard only had a thousand people and had only been trained for four years. It was far from the original one.
But even so, these black-armored guards were stronger than ordinary soldiers. With these soldiers and horses in hand, and with the talent of the Eldest Prince, it was not difficult to defeat the Third Prince.
Compared with the Third Prince, the Eldest Prince has one biggest advantage, that is, he only needs to guard when others are in the imperial capital.
Furthermore, the Eldest Prince has the support of aristocratic families and civil and military ministers.
“The Dongyang Family and the Hua Family turned against me before the battle. They deserve to die.” The Third Prince was furious when he received the news.
He did not take the Eldest Prince seriously at all and believed that with the help of the Dongyang Family and the Hua Family, the imperial city was already under his control, but he did not expect that the Dongyang Family and the Hua Family would betray him.
“And what’s going on with Seventh Brother? Aren’t they usually just kind of keeping to themselves and loyal to their father? Why did they turn to Eldest Brother?” The Third Prince suddenly felt that his previous behavior of sympathizing with the Eldest Prince was simply ridiculous.
The Eldest Prince was treacherous and didn’t deserve his sympathy at all.
“I hunt geese all day long but get pecked by geese. This Eldest Son is truly marvelous. Even I was deceived.” When the Emperor received the news, he was not as angry as the Third Prince thought. Instead, he smiled.
The prince of the Central Empire has always been raised like a wolf, and all of his sons were not simple. Even his third son, who looks the kindest, was a ruthless master on the inside. He knows this.
The only person he misjudged was the eldest son. He always thought his eldest son was stupid, ignorant, and useless. Unexpectedly, he was so powerful that he not only deceived him but also deceived everyone in the world.
“Even the Dongyang Family and the Hua Family can be subdued. He is not simple.” Each of the seven major families in the Central Empire was prouder than the other, especially the Dongyang Family. When he wanted to make the Dongyang Family’s daughter his Empress, the Dongyang family’s management ignored him.
Even now, the Dongyang Family doesn’t give him much face, which shows how arrogant the Dongyang family is. However, the Dongyang Family flattered his third son for the sake of his eldest son, which shows that his eldest son’s methods were not ordinary.
The Third Prince and the Emperor were filled with shock, but they didn’t know that the person they were so shocked was also a little confused at this time. Although he knew that he would get up one day, he didn’t expect that it would be so soon. What if he didn’t prepare at all in advance?
The most important thing was that he originally thought it would be difficult, but when he came out, he found that he had people, money, and things. He didn’t need to worry at all. He just had to stand up, gather military power, and arrange the personnel in place.
After successfully taking over everything in the imperial capital and suppressing several of his younger brothers, the Eldest Prince was not in a hurry to show off in front of others. Instead, he went to the Dongyang Family, the Hua Family, and the seventh prince’s natal family, to thank them.
“Thank you very much. I have written down all these things. I will repay you well in the future.” This was the Eldest Prince. He may not be as strong and wise as an Emperor, but he knew how to be grateful. With such an emperor, everything will be better. After all, the current Central Empire was strong enough. What the Central Empire needed now was not rapid expansion, but stable development.
The only person who could do this was the Eldest Prince, who was kind-hearted and tolerant.
The Dongyang Family, the Hua Family, and the Seventh Prince’s natal family were relieved when they saw that the Eldest Prince was gaining power, he did not forget about them or become arrogant.
Some people were fine in everything when they were in adversity, but once they become successful, they will turn against others. They were really afraid that the Eldest Prince would be such a kind of person, but fortunately, he was not.
At this moment, the Dongyang Family, the Hua Family, and the seventh prince’s natal family finally stopped worrying and took action with all their strength to help the Eldest Prince stop the Third Prince and capture him.
In the Central Empire, two princes were fighting each other. They were in constant civil strife, so they were unable to help even if they knew the situation of the South, the West, and the North.
However, the South, the West, and the North didn’t know the situation of the Central Empire. Seeing the enemy was about to break in, but the Central Empire didn’t send any troops, the South knew that they would not care about them.
The West and the North were quite sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox. Seeing that the East was focusing all its energy on attacking the Southern barbarians, the two countries contacted privately and discussed sending troops to attack the East from the side.
They can’t wait. After the East finishes defeating the South and recovers, they will be the unlucky ones.
Lin Chujiu, who was commanding the army on the front line to fight against the Southern Barbarians, suddenly received news from spies that the West and the North were showing signs of moving troops.
When Lin Chujiu received the news, she immediately went crazy……
