Chapter 811 Forced into the Palace
Chapter 811: Forced to Abdicate
The father and son tried hard to recall, and after thinking for a while, Lou Qinghan said, "You've seen a lot of them! After all, the desert is rich in these things. But if you say that one is kept as a treasure, then this is the only one. The others are just because of their good appearance and quality, and they are worth more silver. There is no special meaning."
Ye Wenyan thought about it and realized that it was unlikely that there would be multiple pieces of colorful stones in one place at the same time. After all, according to God's virtue, it would be impossible for her to do things so smoothly.
She didn't ask any more questions, and just told Su Yuanguojun and Lou Qinghan the plan that had already formed in her mind. Then she removed the soundproof cover, disappeared, and returned to the small room in the witch doctor's office.
The next day, Su Yuan, the current high priestess, found that she had lost control of Xiaoyue City. The capital city was no longer as well-defended as an iron barrel. She even saw two mechanical birds fly out of the Fourth Prince's Mansion at the same time.
The next day, Quan Qingfan flew into Xiaoyue City at night.
On the third day, there was chaos in the palace.
King Suyuan was critically ill, and the high priest offered his own blood to heaven to pray for the king. At this time, news spread among the people that the phoenix eye that could save the king had been found, and it was presented by a girl from Xingzhou.
Unfortunately, he was kidnapped by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just as he reached the palace gate and has not returned since.
If the king doesn't survive this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be able to escape punishment.
More and more people criticized Prince Lou Qinghan, saying that he would do anything to inherit the throne, that he couldn't even wait for the last few years, that he was sorry for the cultivation and love of the king for so many years, and that he would not be a good king even if he ascended the throne. If he was recognized as the king, then the Suyuan Kingdom would be doomed.
Such rumors became more and more numerous and spread more and more widely. Even the Grand Secretary of Guiyue Kingdom, who had lived in Su Yuan for more than three months, joined the team to attack Prince Lou Qinghan.
The Grand Secretary stated: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always coveted my Princess Guiyue and had asked for her hand in marriage, but Guiyue did not agree. Because Guiyue knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not a good person, so even if he promised her the position of future queen, Guiyue would not marry the Princess to him against her conscience.
But the second prince was different. Ever since the king became seriously ill, the second prince had been busy running around, going to the palace every day to greet him, and reading medical books all night long, and finally found the cause of phoenix eye. Only such a prince was a person of noble character, and Princess Guiyue wanted to marry the second prince.
As soon as the Grand Secretary's words spread, people reacted. Yes, it is not necessary for the crown prince to succeed to the throne, the second prince can also succeed to the throne!
As a result, more and more people in the society supported the Second Prince, and the calls for him to succeed to the throne became louder and louder.
Unfortunately, news came out from the palace that the old monarch was determined to pass the throne to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
At this time, some people began to instigate the second prince to rebel.
The people who instigated this were none other than Ye Feizhou and Quan Qingfan.
The two also used the power of the people to constantly instigate the second prince to rebel.
In less than half a day, the second prince of Su Yuan, Lou Qingche, discovered that the situation had developed to the point where if he did not rebel, he would be going against the will of heaven and would be unacceptable.
Originally, the Second Prince had not intended to rebel so soon, after all, he was not ready. Although the Fourth Prince and he were born from the same mother and had a very good relationship, things had not been going well for the past few months. He always felt that the Fourth Prince was not the same as before, and he had become more distant from him.
So he is still struggling and preparing for how to succeed to the throne legitimately.
Unexpectedly, the situation turned out like this. He was suddenly lifted up in the air, unable to go up or down. The second prince was very upset. What should he do?
Just when he was feeling upset, his good brother, the Fourth Prince, came to visit him.
The fourth prince pulled his second brother aside to analyze the situation, and the final conclusion was: "The emperor is about to die, you have to take this opportunity to force him to abdicate. For the sake of national stability, the emperor may change his mind and directly appoint you as the crown prince. Otherwise, once the crown prince succeeds to the throne, if you want to compete with him, it will really be a rebellion. Forcing the emperor to abdicate and rebelling are still different."
The second prince thought, yes, if he can force his father to abdicate, he should try not to rebel. It would be best if he could make his father change his mind.
The fourth prince added, "As long as you have made up your mind, I can support you anytime and anywhere. Don't worry, we are the same children, and you are the closest to me in this world. I will definitely help you. I only hope that after you succeed, you will let me become a rich and noble prince and live a carefree life."
The second prince laughed loudly, took all the guards of the palace, and strode to the palace to "follow God's will". There were 300 guards in the palace, which didn't sound like a lot, but standing in front of the palace gate, it was also a large team.
Why did he stand in front of the palace gate? Because he couldn't get in. The imperial guards guarded the palace gate and shouted, "Why did the Second Prince bring so many people into the palace? Why did they all carry knives?"
The second prince thought that he had started off badly and it seemed that the old man was already on guard against him.
So he simply stopped pretending and came clean - "My father is critically ill, and the throne must not fall into the hands of the crown prince. I, Su Yuan, am known to everyone that the crown prince is a spoiled dandy, a child who has been pampered since childhood, and is a troublemaker. He will never be able to be an emperor. Once he ascends the throne, how can I, Su Yuan, survive?
Also, you know, his white hair has changed a long time ago, the white hair has turned black, he has to dye it white every day to maintain his original appearance.
Once upon a time, High Priest Aman said that his white hair was a symbol of great luck and that he was the son of destiny. But now his white hair has turned black, which shows that great luck is gone and he has nothing to do with destiny.
Therefore, I must enter the palace to stop my father from passing on the throne. I cannot let Lou Qinghan harm the entire Su Yuan!"
He said this in a righteous manner, as if he really cared about the whole country.
Many people who did not know the truth came to watch. Outside the city, the Second Prince's 20,000 private soldiers were gathered. If anything went wrong here, those 20,000 private soldiers would immediately attack the city.
Besides, the one he was most confident about was his fourth brother. The fourth prince had 50,000 soldiers and horses, all of which were concentrated in the camp outside the capital.
Before leaving, the fourth brother had said that he would do his best to help him ascend the throne.
With so many troops at his disposal, he was bound to seize the throne.
"Open the palace gate!" the second prince shouted, "Open the palace gate!"
The three hundred guards behind him also shouted in unison: "Open the palace gate!"
They entered through the main palace gate, a gate that only His Majesty the King was qualified to enter.
