Chapter 109: The princes forced the emperor to abdicate and led their troops out of the city
"Okay! This is a good idea, brother!"
When the princes heard Chu Zhenzhou's proposal, their eyes suddenly lit up and they all expressed their agreement.
Obviously, each of them wants to lead the troops out. After all, having soldiers in hand is the kingly way!
Fighting in the palace all the time is so boring!
at the same time.
In the Golden Palace, Emperor Yongning looked at the memorial signed by several princes in his hand, his face terribly gloomy.
"This bunch of rebellious sons! Do you all treat me as a fool? Do you really think that the Great Zhou Dynasty is a joke?!"
Emperor Yongning threw the memorial hard on the dragon table and was furious.
"Father, please calm down! The dragon's body is the most important!"
A gentle voice sounded outside the hall.
Immediately afterwards, the eldest prince Chu Zhenzhou led several princes in, each with a worried look on their face.
"Father, what happened to make you so angry?"
Chu Zhenzhou asked cautiously, but his eyes glanced at the memorial that had fallen to the ground, and he felt secretly proud.
Emperor Yongning was still furious, "What else could it be! You are a bunch of rebellious sons! You have grown wings, are you planning a rebellion?!"
"Father, you are wrong. Brothers like me have always been friendly and respectful to each other. How could we do such a treasonous thing?"
The one who spoke was the fourth prince Chu He. He waved his folding fan and looked very romantic. "Did your father listen to the slander of some treacherous minister and misunderstand my brothers?"
"Misunderstanding? Humph! As soon as the Seventh Brother left, the Third Brother disappeared with a hundred thousand troops! Now the Fifth Brother has also run away! Are you four going to follow their example and declare yourself kings?!"
Emperor Yongning was so angry that he pointed at several princes and cursed them.
The atmosphere in the palace suddenly became tense. The princes looked at each other but dared not say anything.
"Father, calm down! I think there must be something fishy going on! My third, fifth and seventh brothers have always been good friends. Now they are leaving the capital one after another. Could it be that they were coerced by a villain?"
The eldest prince Chu Zhenzhou quickly stepped forward to mediate and tried to calm Emperor Yongning's anger.
"Yes, Father, my third, fifth, and seventh brothers are all filial people and would never do such a treasonous thing!"
"Why don't we let our brothers lead the troops to chase them back, so as to find out the truth and clear their name!"
Chu Hai quickly agreed. He had wanted to lead his troops out for a long time. Now was a good opportunity to leave the imperial city and venture out into the world.
"Father, I am willing to go too!"
Several other princes also requested orders.
Looking at the group of sons in front of him who are rushing to lead the troops to war.
Emperor Yongning sneered in his heart. These rebellious sons, do they all think that they are old and confused?
but.
He was too lazy to play along with this group of rebellious sons. He already had a plan in mind, so he just went with the flow.
"Since you are so filial, I will allow it! You will each lead 30,000 elite soldiers to bring Chu Yang and Chu Yun back! However, Zhenzhou, you must stay by my side and assist me in handling state affairs!"
"My son obeys the order!"
Chu Hai, Chu Jiang and Chu He were overjoyed and quickly knelt down to express their gratitude, their hearts already filled with joy.
Wait until the other princes have left.
Emperor Yongning then turned his gaze to Chu Zhenzhou, who had remained silent.
"Zhenzhou, what do you think Chu Yang, Chu Yun and Chu Qi want to do?"
Chu Zhenzhou's eyes flickered, and he answered respectfully: "Father, I am stupid and cannot guess what they are thinking. However, the three of them left at the same time, and they all hold military power. I am afraid they are not here for good!"
A cold light flashed in Emperor Yongning's eyes.
"Humph! Do these rebellious sons really think that I can't discipline them now that I'm old?"
"Now I let Chu Hai, Chu Jiang, and Chu He go out, just to deal with Chu Yang and the others."
"Zhenzhou, remember, this throne can only be yours!"
Chu Zhenzhou's heart was shocked, and he knelt down immediately, "Thank you for your trust, father! I will do my best to live up to your high expectations!"
"Good! Good! Good!"
Emperor Yongning laughed and patted Chu Zhenzhou on the shoulder, "I hope you can control your six brothers well and don't let them get involved."
As night fell, the palace was silent.
Chu Zhenzhou stood alone in front of the window, looking at the dark night sky in the distance, with a sneer on his lips.
"Chu Yang, Chu Yun, Chu Qi, you can go ahead and make a scene! The kingdom of the Great Zhou will eventually belong to me!"
"Chu Hai, Chu Jiang, Chu He, the three of you need to work harder and really defeat Chu Yang and the others!"
"When the time comes, I'll take care of the three of you!"
at the same time.
Chu Yang has already settled the affairs of Black Wind Ridge.
He handed Black Wind Ridge over to Zhang Liao. After all, Zhang Liao's reputation had already shocked the Central Plains, so it was more than enough for him to defend this small mountain stronghold.
"General Zhang, I'll leave Black Wind Ridge to you. I'll go to Luoyang City to check out the situation and then come back to join you."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will defend Black Wind Ridge to the death and wait for Your Highness's return!"
Chu Yang nodded, jumped on his horse, and galloped towards Luoyang City with several personal soldiers.
[Congratulations to the host for rectifying Black Wind Ridge and obtaining a Civil Servant Summoning Card! ]
Chu Yang was spurring his horse when the system's emotionless notification tone suddenly rang in his ears.
"Hmm? Is there such a good thing in Black Wind Ridge?"
Chu Yang was delighted. He did not expect that the system would judge that he had succeeded in the reorganization and even rewarded him with a Civil Servant Summoning Card.
"Use the summoning card!"
Chu Yang couldn't wait to recite it silently in his heart.
next moment.
A wave of memories flooded into Chu Yang's mind.
In my memory, a woman in palace dress was writing furiously and eloquently, writing down a manifesto.
The words of the manifesto were sharp, denouncing Chu Yang as a traitor and a villain with heinous crimes. It was the same manifesto of condemnation that had been issued previously.
And that woman was none other than the talented lady of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Shangguan Wan'er!
After Shangguan Wan'er finished writing the manifesto, her heart could not calm down for a long time.
She was not an unreasonable person. She had seen all the great contributions Chu Yang had made to the Great Zhou.
But now, he actually started a rebellion, which made Shangguan Wan'er feel mixed emotions and hard to accept.
"Seventh Prince, why on earth do you want to take this path..."
Shangguan Wan'er murmured to herself, her heart full of doubts and confusion.
She decided to ask Chu Yang in person and find out why he betrayed the Great Zhou and the Emperor.
So, Shangguan Wan'er left the capital regardless of everything and headed towards Luoyang City.
The memory ends with Shangguan Wan'er staying at the Yuelai Inn outside the city. She is obviously not prepared to face Chu Yang.
"Wow, he actually summoned Shangguan Wan'er!"
Chu Yang couldn't help but laugh when he saw this memory. "She scolded me so harshly last time. This time I have to ask her what she meant."
Think of this.
Chu Yang couldn't help but speed up, wishing he could fly to Luoyang City immediately to confront this talented woman from the Great Zhou Dynasty face to face.
At dusk, Chu Yang and his party finally arrived outside Luoyang City.
"Your Highness, Luoyang City is ahead. Should we enter the city?" asked a personal soldier, pointing ahead.
Chu Yang raised his head and glanced at the city gate, then said after thinking for a moment.
"Don't rush into the city yet. Stay outside for a night and see how things go."
"Yes!"
The personal soldier received the order, turned his horse around and headed towards an inn outside the city.
Chu Yang and others arrived at the door of the inn and dismounted.
This inn looks quite old, and the flag in front of the door is a bit worn out, with four big characters "Yue Lai Inn" written on it.
