Chapter 386: Hostage

The prince was still holding his stomach and showing pain a moment ago, but in an instant, he became lively and vigorous, and said amazing words.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, who was about to preside over the ceremony, frowned, turned around and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the Queen Mother's Festival, please don't mess around." ”

"Nonsense?" The prince showed a sneer on his face, and waved his hand: "Take them all down!" ”

After a rush of footsteps, dozens of forbidden soldiers armed with weapons poured into the temple and surrounded King Shin and the others.

The faces of the officials in the palace changed greatly, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites looked at the prince and said in surprise: "His Royal Highness the prince, what do you want to do?" ”

The prince was already overjoyed, stepped forward, and said: "King Xin relied on the trust of his father and emperor to cause chaos in the court, intending to rebel, you chaotic ministers and thieves, colluding to subvert the dynasty, this palace will set things right today and eliminate harm for the country!" ”

Several guards around King Xin were already facing a great enemy, protecting King Xin behind him, and confronting the forbidden army in front of him, but the four guards, facing dozens of forbidden troops, could only resist for a moment.

"Prince, you, you ......" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu pointed at him, his arm trembled, and he looked at the forbidden soldiers again, and asked, "You, do you want to rebel?" ”

"Rebellion?" The prince showed anger on his face, and said loudly: "This palace is the prince, it is the prince, who is plotting rebellion!" ”

King Xin put the incense in his hand into the incense burner, and then slowly turned around.

One of the guards beside him said solemnly: "Lord Wang, my subordinates will escort you out!" ”

"Get out?" The prince sneered and said, "You think you can still go out, this place is already surrounded by my people, you don't want to go out today!" ”

Bang!

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the guards beside King Shin took out a bamboo tube from his arms, and after lighting the fuse outside, a dazzling firework shot out obliquely from the bamboo tube, shot out of the door, and exploded in the sky in the distance.

"Still looking for someone to save you?" The prince looked at him and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, now that the four gates of Kyoto have been closed, no one should want to come out of them!" ”

King Xin took two steps forward, looked at the prince, and asked, "Why is this so?" ”

"Why is that?" When the prince heard this, he asked in a loud voice, like a cat whose tail had been trampled on, "Why do you ask me why I am here?" Why don't you ask yourself first? It's not appropriate to believe in the king well, you have to be what kind of regent, what kind of real dragon descends into the world, the lord of the mandate of heaven, you want to rebel and become the emperor, and you actually ask this palace in turn? ”

The forbidden troops who broke in were pressing forward step by step, and more than a dozen officials of the DPRK and China turned pale and kept retreating.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu smiled miserably and said: "The old man regrets, if the prince could raise his arms and shout, abolish the prince and ascend to the throne, how could there be today's ......, the old man is not a pity to die, it is a pity for the people of Chu State, and it is a pity for the people of Li in this world......"

King Xin shook his head and said, "How can this king rebel and leave a name for eternity in the history books? ”

"I can be in the same dynasty as the prince, and the officials are content." The Rite Department Shangshu sighed and said, "The cause of the past, the fruit of today, all this is the number of fate......

The prince glanced at everyone in the hall coldly, took two steps back, and said, "Kill them all, not one will be left!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a general hurriedly ran over and said, "Your Highness, it's not good, a large number of people and horses have appeared outside the temple and surrounded us!" ”

"What?" The prince's face changed and he asked, "How many people are there?" Who is it? ”

The general said: "It's more than twice as many as us, and I don't know who it is for the time being!" ”

"Let them resist first, we still have a helping hand!" The prince said calmly, pointed at King Xin, and said loudly: "Kill him first, kill him!" ”

"Yes!"

The general answered, and then with a bang, he pulled out the long knife at his waist and put it on the prince's neck.

After feeling the coldness in his neck, the prince froze in place, looked at the general, and said in a trembling voice: "You, you ......"

The general held the prince hostage, looked at the forbidden army in front of him, and said sharply: "Put down your weapons!" ”

Dozens of forbidden soldiers looked at each other, their weapons clenched and relaxed, not knowing what to do.

"The crown prince wants to murder the regent, and I have made this matter known to Your Majesty and handed it over to Your Majesty to decide!" The general looked at the crowd and said loudly, "Don't put down your weapons quickly!" ”

The forbidden soldiers glanced at each other and slowly lowered their weapons.

The general looked at King Xin, bowed his head and said, "The prince is frightened. ”

When Tang Ning led people to rush into the main hall, the forbidden army in the hall had already knelt on the ground, in fact, when he broke in just now, the guards outside did not resist too much, and several leaders of the forbidden army took the lead in surrendering, and they controlled the situation almost effortlessly.

He looked at King Shin with a calm expression, and finally realized that even if there was no appearance for them today, I am afraid that King Shin would be able to easily control the situation.

Look at the prince who is paralyzed on the ground, looking extremely trance-like, as if the whole world has collapsed, and he can only secretly probe in his heart.

Even he couldn't see through how many tricks King Xin had, and the prince wanted to fight with him at this level, but he was still far away.

"Take the prince down." King Xin looked at the crown prince, looked at the Ministry of Rites, and said, "Lord Zhang, the festival continues. ”

The Queen Mother's ceremony was interrupted for a moment, and then continued.

The three hundred surrendered guards were temporarily taken over by Lu Teng, Tang Ning walked outside the hall, and Butcher Zheng looked at him and asked, "Aren't you tempted at all?" ”

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "What heart?" ”

"The lives of the crown prince and the king of faith are all in your thoughts." Lao Zheng clasped his hands to his chest and said, "As long as you give an order, the Chu State will be in chaos." ”

Having said that, at this moment, one of his ideas could completely change the pattern of Chen Chu and the grassland, but if the Chu State was in chaos, it would not be of any benefit to him.

Once the state of Chu is weakened, the grassland will take advantage of the weakness, and the next unlucky person will be the state of Chen, and he has no reason to do so.

What's more, although King Xin is insidious and cunning, he is also Li Tianlan's father, if he kills King Xin, how will he face her in the future?

Tang Ning looked around, the situation in the temple had been completely controlled, and he sighed in his heart, His Royal Highness the county lord was pure and innocent as a little white flower, and the princess was warm and kind, how could there be such a father and husband who were as cunning as a fox?

He walked outside the temple, and as soon as he looked up, he saw more than 100 figures not far away.

Wan Yanyan stood a few steps away, looked at him, and said nervously, "Why are you here?" ”

"I came out to relax, but unfortunately I saw that the prince wanted to murder King Xin, so I saw that the road was uneven and helped out." Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "What are you doing here with so many people?" ”

Wan Yan Yan looked at him, her silver teeth clenched, and she looked incredulous.

Scattered, are there hundreds of heavily armed people who come to relax?

"What a coincidence, we're here to relax." She looked at Tang Ning and said, "Now that we're done, we're going back." ”

"Stop." Chen Zhou strode out, looked at the second prince and the others, and said, "This is where the Queen Mother's festival is located, you people are sneaky here, there must be some intentions!" ”

He waved his hand and said, "Take them all!" ”

"You dare!" After Yan Yan took out a small leather whip, the second prince stopped her, looked at Chen Zhou, and said, "You are just envoys of Chen State, I'm afraid you don't have this power yet." ”

Chen Zhou looked at him and said: "The stakes are very high, I am entrusted by the king of faith to guard the surroundings of Cihuai Temple, your group is suspicious, until the matter is clear, it is better to stay here." ”

The second prince snorted coldly: "How can this king be threatened by you?" ”

As his voice fell, more than 100 people behind him showed their weapons at the same time, and behind Tang Ning, countless people rushed out and surrounded them.

Tang Ning looked at the more than 100 people opposite, his brows furrowed slightly.

There are many fierce soldiers in the grassland, these people's combat effectiveness is not weak, far better than Lu Teng's generals, if they do it, even if they win, they will suffer heavy casualties, not to mention, the situation is undecided at this time, leaving them behind, but there will be more variables, the matter of believing in the king is a big deal, or don't make more trouble.

He glanced at Chen Zhou, shook his head slightly, and after Chen Zhou understood, he immediately looked at the second prince and said: "Who knows if you have anything to do with the murder of King Xin, it's okay to let you go, but you must leave a hostage, and wait until this matter is found out and has nothing to do with you, and then let her go back!" ”

The second prince and the middle-aged woman glanced at each other, looked behind them, pointed to a person, and said, "Ah Huli, you stay." ”

Chen Zhou glanced at Tang Ning, pointed at Wan Yan Yan, and said, "You can all go, she stays!" ”
