The struggle for imperial power, if the two sides are equal in strength, whoever has the orthodox name, who can have the upper hand, on the contrary, has no name, and no strength to rely on, it is very dangerous, in the unknown situation, Zhao Xun did not have any preparation, and he could not imagine what kind of means Zhao He used to be able to control Fengjing inside and outside, except for Jin Wuwei and the Inspectorate, almost all the military power, and at a time that everyone did not expect, decisively launched a military coup.

For tonight's coup d'état, Zhao He has planned for a long time, carefully planned, the two possibilities he thought of have become reality, one is beyond his expectations, the other is beyond his imagination, with the military power in his hands, and a sudden coup d'état, it will definitely occupy an absolute advantage, and the situation is indeed the case, once the coup is launched, it is very smooth, the eldest grandson Wuyang took a short time to control the entire imperial city, Zhao Ke thought that An Guoqing led 30,000 forbidden troops to follow him into the imperial city, is to take over the overall situation, and then respect Zhao Zhi as the emperor, with the support of Yulinwei and the forbidden army and other armies, forcibly ascended the throne as the emperor, the funny thing is that he didn't think at all that he was just a puppet from beginning to end, a decoration, and a fool who made wedding dresses for others.

Zhao He was in the coup d'état, about an hour later, this led the palace three thousand dead soldiers to rush to the imperial city, in his mind, the imperial city at this time, the overall situation has been decided, Zhao Xun has been killed by Zhao Ke, after he arrived at the scene, he will immediately take over all the military power, and then kill the prince, the crime of great rebellion, kill Zhao Ke on the spot, and then convene the ministers, explain the reason for the matter, at that time, Zhao He has both military power in his hands, and the name of righteousness, the identity of the heir to the throne, who else can there be besides him?

But to Zhao He's surprise, at the critical moment, the son-in-law of the eldest grandson Wuyang, who seems to be an absolute confidant, would choose to be loyal to the prince, loyal to the country, and adhere to the bottom line and principles in his heart at such an important moment. It took three full hours, tens of thousands of dead and wounded, and this was the breakthrough of the city defense of the East Palace.

The sooner it ends, the better, and the delay in the coup d'état has completely changed the direction and development of the entire overall situation.

Zhao He sat in the room, the whole person was a little distracted, his expression was very calm, as if nothing had happened tonight, but his seriousness revealed a wave of anger, it was something that should have belonged to him, but it was snatched by others, and it erupted, strong anger.

Li Xun led two thousand soldiers to Wanglong Tower, Zhao He knew that everything was over, he was doomed to failure, even if he killed Zhao Xun, it would not change anything, Li Xun's arrival illustrated a factor, the situation in the city has been out of control, at least it is no longer under his control, in this way, Li Zhong and Yang Daolin will definitely come out of their own mansion, recruit ministers, and jointly rebel, in terms of politics, Zhao Xun is the crown prince, the legal heir to the throne, is orthodox, and he has received and supported the supporters and forces in the entire court, I can't talk to him at all, politically there is no way out, militarily I can't achieve an immediate victory, and after a long time, I don't need to think about what will happen.

Zhao He was thinking that there might not be many such opportunities, and after Zhao Xun suppressed the coup, he would definitely immediately take the most vicious torture and severe sanctions against himself.

Zhao He is not afraid of death, if he is afraid of death, he will listen to Zhao Bolin's advice, if the coup fails, flee from the northern corner of the imperial city, go to Hedong, and divide one side, but these are not Zhao He's pursuits, he is very stubborn, what he sees and pursues, just one, if he can't succeed, he would rather die.

Zhao He thought a lot, and finally thought of Li Xun, for this person, his own attention is still not enough, Zhang Jin's sudden appearance is just the antecedent, Li Xun is the consequence, without Li Xun's trouble, Zhang Jin and the eight thousand East Palace guards in his hands can only delay time, but cannot change the overall situation, as long as Zhao Xun's core is finally removed, from the fundamental interests of the country, Li Zhong and Yang Daolin and others may choose to compromise in the end.

There can only be one beneficiary of the coup d'état, whether this person is righteous or unjust, as long as he succeeds and has a reasonable explanation, then he is just, if even this superficial justice is forcibly removed, and no one immediately ascends to the throne to stabilize the overall situation, the whole country will inevitably fall into unprecedented chaos, on the contrary, as long as the country can continue steadily, what does it matter who is the emperor? It's all a bloodline anyway.

When Zhao He was thinking alone here, the battle was over in Wanglong Tower, and after losing Zhao He's backbone, the three thousand dead soldiers of the Yiwang Mansion had no direction, and they just held on for a while, and the army's morale was in turmoil, and they were finally defeated by Li Xun.

At this time, Zhao Xun calmly walked down from the top of the Wanglong Tower, perhaps because the clothes outside had been polluted and damaged his image as a prince, so he was taken off, and he was wearing a thin white underwear inside.

"Cousin, where is the emperor's uncle?"

When Li Xun saw Zhao Xun, he immediately asked out loud.

Zhao Xun glanced at Li Xun with relief and patted him on the shoulder: "Father is safe and sound, you don't need to worry." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Xun looked around, as if he was looking for someone, but he didn't find it after looking for a long time, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Where is Zhao He's traitor?" Dead, or caught? ”

Li Xun looked left and right, and everyone shook their heads, indicating that they had not found Zhao He's figure.

Zhao Xun pointed at Li Xun and said coldly: "You immediately take someone to find it, you must not let Zhao He run away." ”

Li Xun asked, "After finding Zhao He, what should I do?" ”

Zhao Xun thought for a while and said, "Lock it up and don't allow anyone to approach." ”

No matter how big a crime Zhao He committed, he is a prince after all, before Zhao Xun ascended the throne as the emperor, even if he was the crown prince and the eunuch, he had no right to kill him without trial and lynching, of course, Zhao He committed such a big crime, even if he killed him, no one would say anything, but now, the overall situation has been decided, Zhao Xun thought about it slightly, and still didn't want to leave anyone else with any truth.

Li Xun nodded, and asked Fu Meng to lead people to stay to protect Zhao Xun, while he led more than 500 people to start searching for Zhao He in the East Palace.
