PDLP Chapter 151 Rebellion
Chapter 151 Rebellion
This same day was the day Ning Yi and the Ninth Princess got married.
The entire palace was decorated with lights and colors.
According to the rules, Ning Yi and the Ninth Princess should go to the palace together to meet the old emperor and pay their respects, and then go to the palace.
But Ning Yi was ill, and on the pretext of being the daughter-in-law and coming to pay homage to the emperor in the New Year, he was supported by the Ninth Princess, who was also dressed in red, and entered the hall with him in a red robe.
This scene is a bit weird.
The princess supported the sixth prince as he married another princess.
This kind of thing is rare in a thousand years. Many ministers had strange expressions on their faces and smiled secretly with their heads down.
Only Yang Long looked unhappy, as he always felt that his daughter had been wronged.
But this was Emperor Wu's decision, and he was powerless to change it.
On this day, all the princes and princesses arrived to attend the sixth prince's wedding and congratulate the emperor on the New Year.
Among the crowd, only the fourth brother looked at the sixth brother with contempt. He looked at him while he was being supported and coughing. He was thinking that soon he would hug his bride and make this guy who had always been against him angry to death.
After the bride and groom were asked by Eunuch Zhao to bow three times.
Emperor Wu smiled and said, "Today is the first day of the new year, and it is also the day when the sixth brother gets married. It is a double blessing."
All the civil and military officials congratulated together.
The Second Prince also stood up with a smile on his face, bowed, and said in a loud voice: "Father, today is the New Year, and it is also an auspicious day for Sixth Brother to marry Ninth Princess."
"Auspicious snow also indicates a good harvest, which means that our Wu Kingdom will have good weather and good harvests next year, and that our father will live a long and healthy life."
The Second Prince's sweet words came out of his mouth, making Emperor Wu laugh heartily. He thought that the Second Prince was indeed the successor he had chosen.
Then the other princes and princesses came out one by one to congratulate them.
Only the Fourth Prince stood motionless among the crowd.
The Second Prince frowned: "Fourth Brother, what are you doing? Why don't you congratulate Father and Sixth Brother?"
The two of them didn't get along, and although the second prince was puzzled, he received news that the fourth prince would rebel tonight.
Although I don't really believe it, I still deliberately pick up on him in person.
The Fourth Prince stood out with a calm expression, without bowing, but just looked up at the Emperor Wu on the podium, who had a bad look on his face.
He said in a haughty tone, "Father, the Sixth Old Man is so sickly that he's almost dead. How can we get married?"
"Why don't you let me get married in his place and be the groom?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
A minister immediately shouted angrily: "Fourth Prince, this is the main hall, please stop being so presumptuous."
Emperor Wu was also furious, slamming the table. "Fourth Brother, you are so presumptuous! It seems I have spoiled you too much. Today I must punish you severely. Come..."
The Fourth Prince's behavior showed that he did not take him seriously at all. Emperor Wu felt that he had embarrassed him in public. How could he not be angry?
Several royal guards rushed in from outside the door.
Emperor Wu pointed at the Fourth Prince and said, "Take this bastard and rebellious son and send him to the Heavenly Prison."
But the royal guards didn't move at all.
Emperor Wu glared and said, "Why, didn't you hear what I said?"
A strange scene appeared. The Royal Guards, who usually obeyed Emperor Wu's orders, didn't care about his anger.
The fourth prince smiled and said, "Father, please stop shouting."
"Aren't you tired of always clamoring to take the child to jail?"
"Don't you feel tired? I'm tired of listening to you. Why don't I help you shout?"
The fourth prince clapped his hands and called out, "Someone come."
Dozens of royal guards in full armor and holding distinctive weapons rushed in from outside.
All the ministers in the audience were stunned.
Emperor Wu was also shocked by the scene in front of him, pointing at the leading commander: "You, you actually dared to rebel and betray me."
Similarly, Emperor Wu was very frightened. He knew from this scene that the fourth brother was in control of the situation.
The commander of the Imperial Guards didn't even glance at Emperor Wu, but simply bowed to the Fourth Prince and said, "Your Highness, the entire Imperial Guards are at your command."
The Fourth Prince was extremely happy and was now in high spirits.
"Control everyone in this place. Anyone who dares to move will be killed without mercy."
All the civil officials were terrified, except for a few military generals who shouted to protect the emperor, they were soon hacked to death in a pool of blood.
The Fourth Prince glanced coldly at the noisy civil servants and said, "Shut up, everyone."
"Those who surrender, this prince, no, I will not only reinstate you to your posts, but also reward you handsomely."
Many civil servants began to be tempted. As long as they were not killed, they could surrender. After all, it was the prince who ascended the throne, and it was not someone else who rebelled. It was still the Great Wu Kingdom.
The Fourth Prince looked at Emperor Wu, whose face was ashen, on the stage.
He walked towards the stage step by step, chuckling softly, "Father, you have been on the throne for decades."
"You should have retired a long time ago. Stop sitting on the throne and doing nothing. Step down now."
Emperor Wu's tone was filled with rage, and he pointed at him in fear: "Fourth Brother, you, you are plotting treason, aren't you afraid that everyone in the world will rebel against you?"
The Fourth Prince chuckled and said, "Father, these matters are not for you to worry about. If you abdicate honestly, I will let you live out your days in peace. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to drive you off the throne."
Emperor Wu looked at the Fourth Prince approaching step by step, feeling both fear and anger in his heart.
But he had no choice now, as the entire Royal Guards obeyed the Fourth Brother's orders.
Could it be that he was driven out of office by his own son?
Then how will he save face in the future?
Suddenly, someone in the audience laughed and said, "Old Four, why do you have to seek death? Isn't it good to be alive?"
"Who is it?" The Fourth Prince turned around suddenly.
Finally, he saw the eye-catching old man, who was wearing a red robe as a groom. He looked at him with a mocking face.
The Fourth Prince's face was grim, and he said coldly, "Sickly fellow, I was thinking of dealing with you later, but since you're courting death, come, arrest this bastard first."
Several royal guards immediately walked towards the Sixth Prince.
The Ninth Princess's red veil had long since vanished. She now held a dagger in her hand, shielding the Sixth Prince. She said in a clear voice, "My dear husband, I will protect you and will not let anyone hurt you."
She actually knew the Fourth Prince's plan a long time ago, and Aturu had told her.
Aturu also asked her to wait until the Sixth Prince succeeded and then kill him immediately.
But he didn't know that the Ninth Princess had already been the Sixth Prince's person, and the dagger had become a weapon specifically for protecting the Sixth Prince.
The Sixth Prince looked coldly at the approaching Royal Guards and ordered, "Attack."
As the Royal Guards approached, one of them suddenly swung his sword at his companion next to him.
The person next door had already been hacked to death before he even understood what was happening.
The sudden change shocked everyone in the audience.
"what happened."
"Why did the Royal Guards take action on their own?"
The other royal guards also didn't understand the situation yet, and were suddenly hacked at by people nearby with knives.
In the rush, many people didn't react in time and were hacked to death in a pool of blood.
Even the commander was hacked to death by two deputy commanders one after another.
Throughout the hall and the palace, all the royal guards who stepped forward were killed.
The Fourth Prince was stunned: "What's going on?"
Ning Yi laughed sarcastically and said, "Old Four, do you think others don't know about your affairs?"
"The Second Prince already knew about it."
