Chapter 60 The New Emperor Takes the Throne
Hearing the sound of the death knell, the third prince who was waiting outside the imperial city immediately led an army of 25,000 soldiers and horses and began to attack the imperial city.
"The second prince, Han Feiyu, has no father and committed regicide to seize the throne. Everyone, follow me and kill the rebels and vindicate them." The third prince, Han Yuan, shouted.
"General Lu, General Fang, attack the imperial city and follow this prince to kill the rebels and avenge my father."
Lu Jian and Cheng Li led the army and began to attack the imperial city. They risked all their wealth and lives in order to follow the dragon.
"kill!"
"Soldiers, follow me to vindicate the thieves and punish them."
"kill!"
"Hold these rebels away. Don't let these rebels enter the city. They want to rebel." Deng Xing shouted, leading his army to resist the siege of the army outside the imperial city.
Both sides erupted into loud shouts of killing. Luo Jing was destined to be uneasy tonight.
Many ordinary ministers were hiding at home, terrified.
If the prince rebels, the capital will be filled with murderous heads and rivers of blood.
The Sixth Prince's Mansion!
"Your Highness, His Highness the Second and His Highness the Third are fighting. Should we take action?" an aide of the Sixth Prince said.
"No rush, whoever jumps out first will die the fastest." The sixth prince Han Shang shook his head.
The persimmons that bloom first will rot first.
Besides, his good big brother who has been patient for a long time has not made any move yet.
The Ninth Prince also had the same mentality of letting the second prince and the third prince fight first, and then they would take action against the victorious side when both sides would suffer, or one side would win.
A prince raised an army to seize the throne, causing chaos in the Wei Dynasty.
The second prince sat firmly on the dragon chair in the Chaotian Palace, waiting for dawn.
As soon as daybreak, he was ready to take out the imperial edict to announce his succession to the throne and announce it to the world.
The eldest prince Han Che escaped from Luojing and went to mobilize troops to put down the rebellion.
In a hurry, they attacked for a whole night, but the third prince Han Yuan failed to lead the army to attack the imperial city.
The second prince's generals Xu Wei and Deng Xing occupied the city wall to defend themselves, which naturally gave them an advantage.
As soon as day broke, the third prince ran to find his allies, the sixth prince and the ninth prince, and persuaded them to attack the city together, capture the imperial city, and kill the regicide and rebel second prince.
"Sixth brother, ninth brother, what are you waiting for? If we don't take action now, when second brother's army arrives, we will die. Are you still waiting for death?"
"Now that the second brother has occupied the palace, he must have forged the imperial edict. Once his army reaches Luojing and announces it to the world, we will have no way to survive."
"Brother hasn't taken action yet. Why are we in such a hurry? If we pave the way for him, our fight will be in vain." The Ninth Prince said.
"The eldest brother has already run out of Luojing. He must have gone to gather the troops to support him. By the time he gathers the troops and comes, I'm afraid the day lilies will be cold." The third prince said.
The sixth prince and the ninth prince thought the same thing. They first captured the imperial city, killed the second prince, and then joined forces to resist the eldest prince.
The three of them joined forces and a 60,000-strong army attacked the imperial city. Luo Jing's fighting spirit soared into the sky, and ordinary people hid at home and did not dare to go out.
Sixty thousand people attacked for a day before they broke into the imperial city and strangled the second prince's troops.
The second prince Han Feiyu was defeated and killed in Chaotian Palace. The army he was waiting for did not arrive after all.
After the third prince, sixth prince, and ninth prince took over the imperial city and palace, they began to be wary of each other, fearing that the other party would stab them in the back.
After all, we are all competitors, we are just joining forces temporarily.
The eldest prince Han Che led an army of 150,000 to suppress the rebellion, and fought against the third, sixth and ninth princes.
Facing the 150,000-strong army of the eldest prince, the third, sixth, and ninth princes gathered another 100,000 coalition troops and fought with them for ten days.
In the end, the eldest prince won a tragic victory, the third prince was defeated and killed, the sixth prince disappeared, and the ninth prince died in battle.
Just when the eldest prince thought he had won, got the fruits of victory, and was about to ascend the throne, but he didn't want to remain ordinary, so the quietly fifth prince came out to steal the chicken and defeated the eldest prince.
The eldest prince Han Che took the remaining confidants and ran away.
No one thought that this chaotic battle for the throne would be so complicated and confusing.
The victorious fifth prince, Han Feng, was looking forward to becoming the king and had no scruples. He set his sights on the harem and began to have sex with the harem and play with the old emperor and his father's concubines.
This move angered the ancestor of the royal family's martial saint, and he killed the fifth prince Han Feng with one palm.
The real Lao Liu won, and Lao Liu died again.
The ministers were confused and the people were dumbfounded.
In the Wei royal family, the prince fought hard to win the throne. The fifth prince who finally won was a promiscuous and immoral person with no moral code. He was killed by the ancestor of the royal family. Which family will the throne go to?
Just when people thought that the courtiers would let the young twelfth prince ascend the throne.
The old eunuch Wei took out the imperial decree that the old emperor had prepared long before his death, and asked the seventh princess Han Jiangxue to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
Many ministers in the court were opposed to allowing a female to ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor. The ancestors of the royal family's martial saints came forward to support the seventh princess, Han Jiangxue, to ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor.
The great marshal of the imperial court, Xiao Wusheng, who was fighting against the demon clan in the far southwest border, also announced to the world that he supported Han Jiangxue's succession.
With the support of two peerless powerful men.
The empress ascended the throne successfully, and the new emperor was established!
This result is something that countless people have never imagined.
After the empress Han Jiangxue ascended the throne, she named herself Wu Emperor of Wei.
This is an unprecedented title. He ascended the throne as a woman and was called Emperor Wu of Wei.
Many emperors in the Wei Dynasty never called themselves Emperor Wu.
After ascending the throne, Han Jiangxue held a funeral for the old emperor. After burying the old emperor, he began to handle state affairs with the support of the left prime minister.
Han Jiangxue wore a red dragon robe and an imperial crown, sitting on the dragon throne in the Chaotian Hall. Her flawless face was majestic, and people dared not look directly at her.
The majesty of the emperor, on the contrary, covered up her beautiful face.
"If there is something, please report it. If there is nothing, please leave the court!" The old eunuch Wei shouted in a hoarse voice.
The empress was the third emperor of the Wei Dynasty served by this old eunuch.
"Your Majesty, the Huns in the northern border invaded, the three states fell, the people fled, and the water was in dire straits. It was worse than death. I beg your majesty to dispatch troops to drive out the Huns and restore our rivers and mountains. Don't let the incident in Hexi Prefecture happen again." Wang Cheng, the Minister of War, reported.
"I second the motion!"
The left prime minister Fu Xiangru immediately stood up to support.
Seeing that the left prime minister Fu Xiangru stood up to support, other ministers also echoed.
"Approved, mobilize 200,000 troops to the north, hand them over to the Zhenbei Marquis, let the Zhenbei Army send troops to encircle and suppress the Xiongnu army, order Li Hou to expel the Xiongnu as soon as possible, and then go to the southwest border to resist the monster tribe under the command of Marshal Xiao." Han Jiangxue ordered immediately.
"Your Majesty..."
The backlog of government affairs during this period was raised one after another, and the left prime minister actively participated in solving them. Those officials who wanted to drag their feet and quibble did not dare to show their heads.
At this time, everyone realized that the left prime minister, the old fox, actually supported the seventh princess Han Jiangxue.
"Old Fu, you are really hiding it deep. You knew early on that His Majesty the Emperor intended to pass the throne to the seventh princess?" After the meeting, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Zuo Jian whispered beside Fu Xiangru.
"You are still as cunning as a fox, sitting and watching the world." The Minister of the Ministry of War Wang Cheng also whispered.
The left prime minister Fu Xiangru glanced at the Minister of Revenue Zuo Jian and the Minister of War Wang Cheng, and did not speak, but stood with his hands behind his back, as if to say, whoever becomes the emperor, I will assist him.
Who is like you, the traitors, jumping up and down.
The right prime minister Xie Yan participated in the rebellion of the princes and was dismissed and imprisoned. The Minister of Revenue Zuo Jian and the Minister of War Wang Cheng did not participate in it. They were just invited by the two princes to be guests, and then they irritated the nerves of the second prince.
The second prince Han Feiyu killed his father and the emperor to seize the throne, and the world was in an uproar. He was expelled from the royal family, and his descendants were expelled from the royal family and demoted to commoners.
The generals, ministers, and aristocratic families who participated in the rebellion were dismissed from their posts, imprisoned, and executed. The Xuanyiwei couldn't catch them all.
The prison of the Dali Temple was almost full.
The empress ascended the throne and began to deal with the government affairs. The chaos of nearly a month in the Luojing of the Wei Dynasty gradually calmed down.
Great Wei welcomes a new emperor!
