Chapter 492: All Out
Chapter 492: All Out
Almost in the blink of an eye, the hall was divided into three factions.
Prince Tun, Prince Dong, Cao Feng and others stood in front of the Third Prince; Prince Zhongshun brought some generals and a few old ministers;
As soon as Prince Yu was carried into the hall on a sedan chair and sat down on the chair, several court officials who were originally standing in the civil and military classes automatically and consciously moved behind him.
Judging from the number of people at the scene, the group led by Prince Yu, who arrived last, was the largest.
Prince Yu raised his eyebrows, leaned back in his chair, supported his splinted hand with his good hand, and supported his splinted foot with his good foot.
He tilted his head, squinted at Prince Zhongshun and Prince Duncheng, and snorted, "What? Zhongshun, Duncheng, you don't even bother to show respect when you see the Emperor's uncle?"
Prince Duncheng was embarrassed, and he bowed and saluted: "Hello, uncle."
Cao Feng glared at Prince Dun with a look of disappointment.
How come I've already lost my momentum before anything else has happened? It's really...
The cowardly nature of the idle royal family!
On the contrary, Prince Zhongshun sneered and raised his eyebrows: "Uncle Yu, I just had to use force because you resisted arrest in the street.
"Your Majesty ordered me to return home only to reflect on the issue of my actions.
"You were put in the Dali Temple Prison. Someone reported you, so Master Zhitong interrogated you personally.
"Your leg was broken by a clamp, right?
"You are a criminal under arrest, but you are suspected of several major crimes. How dare a convict who escaped secretly come to Hanyuan Palace to show off his power?!"
Prince Yu followed up his words and shouted: "How dare you say that?!
"You tricked me out of the house and announced the imperial edict in the street, but there was not a single word in the edict that allowed you to use force against me!
"I just questioned the authenticity of your so-called oral order. If you have a point, you can go to the emperor with me to argue. How can you be so conscienceless as to order someone to break my arm in the street?"
"Uncle Yu, you are a prince, and I am also a prince!
"I announced the decree in public, and you dared to question its truth. Could it be that you are loyal and I am treacherous?
"If you hadn't been so ambitious and wanted to rebel, why would His Majesty, as the Prince Regent, have sent you to the Dali Temple Prison?
"Even if you continue to confuse right and wrong, you can't wash away the fact that you are a traitor!"
Prince Zhongshun was full of righteousness and no longer cared about seniority or hierarchy. He stretched out one hand and almost pointed at Prince Yu's nose and scolded him!
Prince Yu was so angry that he spat and directly exposed Prince Zhongshun's past:
"If we talk about traitors, you are the rebellious one in our bloodline! Your father fought openly and secretly with the Supreme Lord back then, and ended up destroying himself by trapping himself!
"As a son, you should avenge your father in an upright manner, but you have no ability, so you have to serve the Supreme Lord as a dog!
"But who would have known that what they were holding you for was just bone soup, without a single bite of meat!
"When the current emperor ascended the throne, you came to curry favor with him again! But he is even more cunning than his father, and he won't give you even a little bit of real help!
"Now you have set your sights on the women in the harem!"
Behind Prince Yu, someone laughed softly. Then someone else muttered, "They are not all women..."
At this moment, laughter broke out and gradually became more and more unbridled.
Prince Zhongshun was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, and he shouted: "You are a prince, the uncle of the emperor, but you are like a woman in the market, chewing the tongue of a woman!
"Uncle Yu, are you still surnamed Situ? Do you care about your ancestors' dignity?!"
With fists clenched and sleeves bared, both sides started to curse at each other like ordinary women.
Prince Dun and Cao Feng were both stunned and looked at each other.
What on earth are these two doing here today?
Only the King of the East was watching the fun, twirling his beard cheerfully and listening attentively and seriously.
They may even follow what one party says, nodding in agreement, shaking their heads regretfully, or sighing helplessly, with a wide variety of expressions.
"The King of the East is not like this usually..." Prince Dun was stunned and subconsciously explained to Cao Feng in a low voice for him.
Cao Feng's heart moved, and he tilted his head slightly to look at the third prince behind him.
The naughty kid was leaning his hands on his knees, watching the battle between the two kings with great interest and excitement, trying hard to understand what they were saying.
The status is exactly the same as that of the King of the East.
Cao Feng's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked to his side——
There was only the third prince’s personal eunuch.
Zhai Daogong is missing.
Oh I got it.
Cao Feng understood what was going on, turned around, quietly tugged at the sleeve of Prince Dun who wanted to speak out to persuade them to stop fighting, and also started to watch the show.
Prince Dun closed his mouth, which had just opened, and put his hands into his sleeves.
The two kings were a little tired of arguing with each other.
Suddenly, King Zhongshun remembered and looked at King Dong mockingly.
"King Dongping, aren't you very majestic?
"After your Majesty left, Feng Tang took command of the Daming Palace's imperial guards, but you seized control of the entire capital's military power in one fell swoop!
"With your Dongping King's warrant, you can dispatch troops and have the power of life and death!
"This arrogant and domineering Prince of Dongping has always been good at commanding the army and has used comprehensive methods!
"What? You can't even keep an eye on the wanted criminals in the Dali Temple?!
"Okay, Dali Temple, it's not your responsibility, so it's OK if you can't watch over it.
"But now, this escaped criminal is right in front of you, why don't you even dare to order him to be arrested?
"Prince Dongping, are you an accomplice of Prince Yu?!"
Oh, after being unable to win the argument with Prince Yu, I finally remembered that there were other people in the palace?
The Eastern King raised his eyebrows high, not taking it as an offense, and laughed, nodding repeatedly: "What the Zhongshun King said is very true."
He raised his hand and shouted, "Imperial Guards, listen up! Surround the palace and capture Prince Yu and his followers!"
However, it was quiet outside.
Everyone in the hall froze for a moment, and then Prince Dun and others changed their expressions, even became slightly agitated, and took half a step back!
Cao Feng became suspicious and glanced at the King of East.
The King of the East pretended to be deaf and dumb, and did not look away, but just laughed at the King of the Zhongshun:
"Prince Zhongshun, look, the imperial guards are under the command of Feng Tang, and they don't obey my orders!"
Prince Zhongshun narrowed his eyes and shook his head, "I don't believe it! Where is Feng Tang now?"
"He..." The Eastern King was still cheerful, and explained truthfully like a storyteller, "Before leaving, His Majesty ordered the Queen to stay at home to recuperate...
“…A maid insisted on breaking into the palace.
"A new captain of the Imperial Guards was angry at the maid for disobeying orders, so he shot her to death with an arrow!"
This is how it was, and he actually explained it again in detail.
Everyone listened with fascination, until they realized that Feng Tang had nothing to do with it at all.
"So what about Feng Tang?" someone couldn't help but ask.
The Eastern King stroked his beard and laughed, "Don't worry, don't worry.
"——The Queen naturally won't agree.
"Fortunately, this team leader is not an unknown person. He brought out his elders to intimidate the people, and Kunning Palace finally quieted down.
"Feng Tang, of course, rushed over to clean up the mess."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"But since then, problems have arisen in various places in the palace, and he has to run around to deal with them everywhere."
The Eastern King gradually stopped joking, his eyes turned cold, and he said, "I have been busy until the fourth watch.
"A guard who had been accompanying him suddenly attacked from behind and stabbed General Feng Tang!"
Before he finished speaking, a voice came from the bell tower.
Chenshi.
