The prince woke up suddenly, only to find that he had just had a demon dream. But that mysterious supernatural connection between father and son makes him clearly aware that his father has died.

The prince didn't dare to alarm anyone, he changed into the clothes of a minister, opened the back door and quietly left the room. He slipped out of the palace along a path, avoided the night watchman, and quickly rushed to Shangqing Gao Zhuangzi's house.

Gao Zhuangzi also had a dream, he dreamed that the palace maid told him that the emperor wanted him to protect the prince and run away, and the prince would come soon.

Gao Zhuangzi woke up and immediately became alert, he was completely sleepy, put on civilian clothes and came to the backyard. Prince Zhao soon arrived, he slipped into the back door, knelt down in front of Gao Zhuangzi, burst into tears but did not dare to cry out loud, just begged Gao Zhuangzi to protect him from Linzi.

Gao Zhuangzi didn't care about shedding tears, and immediately summoned a few personal servants, ordered them to put on two carriages, and asked the prince to change into servants' clothes, and then said: "The captain of the guard at the south gate of the capital is my retainer Cui Yao, and I will escort the prince out of the city now." ”

The group quietly came to the south gate. Cui Yaozheng was walking around the city wall in good spirits, and when he saw another convoy approaching, he walked down to check the situation. Cui Yao has always been shrewd and calm, he saw that his master was wearing civilian clothes, and he didn't talk to him, and he pretended not to know Gao Zhuangzi; He easily guessed the identity of the strange-looking servant in the group. Gao Zhuangzi handed him an "order", Cui Zhu unfolded the parchment roll and looked at it in a mock manner, and then ordered the city gate to be opened and the convoy to leave the city as if nothing had happened. He handed the key to his subordinates and said, "I'm going out on a mission, and the doctors will tell him the truth when they ask about you." ”

After walking out of the road, Cui Yao suddenly knelt down in front of Gao Zhuangzi and said: "The minister opened the city gate privately, he has committed a serious crime, and he can't confess; Please ask the Master to allow me to flee with the prince." ”

Gao Zhuangzi said: "You know that the old man will never harm a meritorious person, so the old man ordered you to protect the prince with your life." The crown prince ascended the throne, and you contributed a lot; If the prince has something, you can apologize for your crimes! ”

Cui Yao bowed to Gao Zhuangzi again, and then escorted the prince to the Song Kingdom.

The Cui family came from the Duke of Qi Ding and was one of the oldest families in the Qi Kingdom. With the passage of time, the Cui clan gradually fell from a prestigious family to a vassal of the Gao clan. But God gave Cui Yao another opportunity, and he actually revived the Cui family and once again became one of the wealthy families of the Qi State; However, the sheer power soon destroyed the family completely.

Early the next morning, during their routine inspection, the palace guards found something strange about a small remote door in the dormitory where Duke Qi Huan was imprisoned. The soldiers rushed into the dormitory door and found that Qi Huan Gong had died of anger, and there was a body of a palace maid lying beside him.

The bad news was immediately reported to Childe Wuyi and the three thieves, and the villains were going crazy with joy. Wu Wu immediately ordered the arrest of the crown prince, and he himself quickly rushed to the scene of the crime to determine whether the old monarch had really returned to the west.

But the joy of innocence did not last long before it was replaced by anger, when the guards reported that the prince had died the previous night, and that all the servants did not know where he had gone.

At this time, it was time for the upper dynasty, and the officials gathered outside the palace gate to prepare to enter the official office (all the official offices of the state are located in the palace) to work. However, the time to enter the palace has passed, but the palace gate is still closed.

The officials went from whispering to restlessness, and then they shouted in unison, demanding to enter the palace immediately, to be on the throne, and to see the prince immediately. Suddenly, there was the sound of neat and rapid footsteps and the sound of weapons clashing in the palace gate, and the palace gate was immediately opened, and Yi Ya and Ermink appeared with a large number of soldiers.

The ermine stretched out his hands to signal the people to be quiet, and then said, "The prince has passed away, and the doctors are studying how to organize the funeral. The government office is closed for one day, so please go back! ”

The officials were even more agitated, and they cursed Ermink and Yi Ya, saying that they had climbed to today's high position by cutting off their children and grandchildren, and had the opportunity to murder the ancestors; People insisted on being buried for the first monarch and asked to see the prince.

The faces of the two people suddenly became very ugly, and they were publicly exposed to their scars, and they suddenly became murderous. Yi Ya issued an ultimatum, ordering everyone to disband immediately, otherwise they would be corrected on the spot. Chong'er stood in the back position, and Xu Chen saw that the situation was not good, so he pulled Chong'er away from the crowd. But the country of Qi has never lacked bloody men, and many people shouted and scolded and immediately rushed forward, wanting to catch these two traitors.

The palace guards immediately attacked. Most of the officials saw that the situation was not good, and they turned into birds and beasts in an instant; But many could not bear to be blocked by traitors, drew their swords and fought with soldiers, and were eventually killed.

This massacre was an accident, but the outcome of the incident erased the only good impression that no loss was in the hearts of the people; He became the enemy of the whole country in an instant, even more hateful than the ignorance of the young grandson.

While the soldiers were cleaning up the scene of the massacre, four armed forces led by their respective commanders marched towards the palace, led by Gongzi Yuan, Gongzi Pan, Gongzi Shang, and Gongzi Yong. The four princes are not here to maintain stability, but to create chaos and compete for the throne.

The disappearance of the crown prince had already left Wuwu in a hurry, and the opposition of the officials did not attract his attention, but the arrival of the fourth prince completely disrupted his plans.

All optimism disappeared without a trace, and Wuwu began to realize the gravity of the situation. But to give in means to put one's life in the hands of the enemy, and to counter violence with violence will die sooner. In a dilemma, the third way was chosen without loss.

Just as the four princes were confronting each other nervously in front of the palace gate, Kaifang hurriedly ran out and said: "The first gentleman is driving, and he is heartbroken without loss. After he was grief-grieving, he remembered to invite the princes to discuss the future, but the four of them arrived first. The ministers immediately invited the sons into the palace to discuss matters. ”

But the sons do not intend to give no loss. Gongzi Yuan said: "No loss and our brothers are doctors of equal status, what qualifications does he have to point fingers at Xiangbang?" Besides, the brothers don't need to be invited to their own homes. The childe merchant said: "With the prince here, where is the turn to call the shots?" We're going to see the prince soon. ”

Kai Fang turned around and left without saying a word, while Yi Ya led the guards into the palace.

The four princes led their respective arms into the palace and occupied a building respectively, while the forces without loss were entrenched in the area of the main hall.

After everyone settled down, they sent someone to invite the four brothers to the main hall to discuss matters; The fourth prince asked him to withdraw the surrounding arms, otherwise he would never step into the main hall. After satisfying the brothers' requirements without a loss, the four princes each entered the hall with a few guards.
