The Uncertain Crown's Heir Chapter 7

What happened next seemed to come naturally.

On the seventh day of the second lunar month, in the morning, the king suppressed his rebellion.

The 50,000 troops of King Su stationed outside the city attacked the capital. Tate Zhuang, the commander of the Imperial City Army and the son of the right prime minister, led 20,000 soldiers to resist.

This city battle lasted for seven days and was recorded as the "Erqi Palace Change" in the history of Yuheng Kingdom.

The battle between the two sides was stalemate for the first three days. On the fourth day, King Su launched a large-scale attack. The imperial army defended the city gate. The right guard general retreated from the rebels and died of exhaustion. Troops from nearby counties came to support the new army one after another. emperor.

On the fifth day, the vanguard camp of King Su's rebel army was defeated, and the vanguard leader committed suicide by drinking arrows in front of the formation.

On the night of the sixth day, the city gate was broken and the rebels entered the capital. Bennett Fu ordered his soldiers to protect the people. King Su once entered the palace, but could not find the new emperor and most of the officials. He was furious and killed several concubines and prisoners. Hundreds of people, including the Tessa Concub!ne and the Minister of Rites, shed blood for hundreds of steps, which made people frightened.

Tate Zhuang led his troops to fight with the rebels all night long.

On the seventh day, that is, in the morning of February 14th, Bennett Fu miraculously appeared outside the city with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, horses, and civil and military officials. Marshal Blaine Lian, who was supposed to be far away on the border, was also among them. The new emperor wore a Go into battle, cooperate with Tate Zhuang inside and outside, and kill the rebels.

Dark clouds, groggy, and continuous drizzle enveloped the entire capital like smoke, mixed with fine snow, spreading the blood on the ground, and the sounds of fighting intertwined among them, bleak and tragic.

Tate Zhuang touched something on his face that was either blood or water. He staggered and threw a tied man in front of a white figure. He clasped his fists with his hands and said in a hoarse voice: "I have lived up to my trust and have betrayed you." The leader of the army thief is captured!"

The disgraced man who was tied up was the rebellious King Gongsu, Fu Chonglin!

There are fewer and fewer sounds of resistance, the sound of rain is getting louder and louder, and snowflakes are falling, washing the mutinous imperial city with a clear sound.

The white figure finally turned around with the sword in hand. There were scarlet dots on his armor, and his handsome face was full of chills. The rain and snow soaked his black hair. He didn't look embarrassed, but was colder than the battlefield.

Bennett Fu personally helped Tate Zhuang, who was weak, and ordered him to take him to heal his wounds and rest. Then he walked to Fu Chonglin in the mud and stared at him calmly.

As always, bright and sharp.

Fu Chonglin rubbed his hands on the ground and sat up bit by bit.

The drizzle and snowflakes fell down like silver needles. He raised his head and looked at Bennett Fu indifferently, looking at the mountain that he could not cross in his life.

"I lost." The high-spirited King Gongsu said in a hoarse voice. He did not call himself his brother in front of his elder brother as before, as if he was preserving the last bit of pride.

Bennett Fu looked down at him and met his gaze.

"When I broke into the palace, I knew that everything had been arranged by you," Fu Chonglin murmured, "planning, treason, troop deployment, smuggling hundreds of officials out of the city, leaving behind officials with evil intentions. , to provoke this king to kill... You will always be like this, what will you do?

Everything is under control, as if all those who resist are clowns..."

Bennett Fu squatted down and looked at him, his eyes full of indifference, "I said, there will be no second time."

Back then, Fu Chonglin deliberately killed ten thousand soldiers of Da Mang, forcing Crown Prince Yuheng to go deep into the enemy camp to negotiate alone. However, Fu Chonglin did not expect that he could sign an alliance and escape unharmed under Da Mang's wrath. At that time, Fu Chonglin Huai Yao let him go, which was the end of his kindness.

Fu Chonglin said: "I am not willing to give in."

So I took a gamble.

Born in the palace, so close to that high position, not everyone is as willing to be lowered as the fourth prince.

It's a pity that the bet was lost.

Things were turning, and the four words "successful king and defeated bandit" given to him that day in Fuyuan Zhou were used on him, and he had no choice but to accept his fate.

Fu Chonglin stared at him straightly, with a deep resentment in his eyes, but the corners of his mouth turned up in a strange arc, and he suddenly changed the subject and said: "Third brother, I have always respected you, he is a capable person among his party members. Many people may not obey you, but they will not rebel. You want to take them back, so the third brother must not die. "

Bennett Fu's movements were almost invisible.

"You have your own plans, but others may not be willing to cooperate." When he spoke like this, black blood surged out of Fu Chonglin's throat. He didn't care and chuckled, his laughter seemed to be wrapped around him. The poisonous snake on the neck, "I'll give you a gift for enthronement. Brother, I and my third brother are waiting for you on Huangquan Road for a hundred years..."

A crack finally appeared in Bennett Fu's cold eyes, "What did you do?"

"Go and see for yourself..." King Gongsu's body collapsed softly. He was still looking at Bennett Fu, but suddenly he saw something from the crack, and his expression gradually changed from disbelief to It became a crazy and twisted pleasure of revenge, lining the black and purple lips, solidifying into the last scene in his life.

"It turned out to be like this, it turned out to be like this... Haha, hahaha, brother, if I win against you, I will die in peace...!!"

...

The Clan Mansion, deep in the dungeon.

King Yongning, who was dressed in blue robes, was meditating on a rather simple wooden bed. His breathing was gentle, but his face was pale. His crown was removed, his black hair was messy and fell down his shoulders, and his eyes were dark. He had a dark complexion after being hit hard, and his face looked very haggard.

On the ground, torn pieces of letter paper were scattered all over the floor, and different Juanxiu handwritings belonging to women could be vaguely seen on the fragments.

There is no movement outside here, and the guards are far away. Eli only heard about the rebellion of King Gongsu in the capital from the mouth of the food delivery person a few days ago. He is probably here under Bennett Fu What was the order, so the silence was tight. Unfortunately, the person who delivered the meal came and went in a hurry, and there was no news again.

It seems that the two royal brothers are fighting fiercely, and I dont know how Bennett Fu will respond...

Suddenly, Fuyuan Zhou's ears twitched.

In the silence, two people were approaching here. Their footsteps were steady and gentle, as if they were martial arts practitioners.

Sure enough, not long after, two eunuchs appeared in front of him one after another. The one behind him was holding a tray with a green emerald cup on it.

"Your Highness Prince Ning." The leading Reed Eunuch called.

Fu Yuanzhou opened his eyes and looked past him at the glass of wine. A lock of hair on his forehead half-slanted across his obsidian eyes, making this usually gentle man look a little cold.

This Reed Eunuch is his father's personal attendant...

Reed Eunuch bent over and bowed his head respectfully. He said, "We are here to tell King Ning that the rebels have been defeated. King Su committed suicide in fear of his crime. His Royal Highness is purging the rebels and will ascend the throne some day."

Eli paused, without much surprise, "Congratulations to your brother for this king."

"We will definitely tell you." Reed Eunuch agreed, and then took the tray, with a slightly weird smile on his lips, which seemed to be pity, but also contempt, "The prince has a message for us to tell."

Fu Yuanzhou stood up and said calmly, "Say."

"'Since you call yourself a younger brother, you should do your duty as a younger brother.'" The tray was delivered to the cell door, the dark crane crown red was rippling with sparkling light, "Empress De Fei and the Liu family will meet soon. Stay safe, Prince Ning, please."
