Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang started to take action. With such a rare opportunity, the two of them wanted to kill Chu Wuming. Under the manipulation of the two behind the scenes, rumors quickly spread in the imperial city.
They said that the death of the Weiyuan Army's commander in Hulao Pass was caused by Chu Wuming. Chu Wuming wanted to seize military power, which was why he secretly killed the commander of the Weiyuan Army.
It had to be said that these two brothers were really not simple. They actually hit the nail on the head. However, it was a pity that the two of them didn't know that the rumors they used to frame Chu Wuming were actually true. Chu Wuming really did want to seize military power, and he had already succeeded.
As the rumors spread, Chu Wuming could be said to be at the heart of the storm. At the same time, under the push of Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang, many influential officials in the imperial court also started to impeach Chu Wuming. They hoped that Chu Mu would thoroughly investigate this matter. If it was true, Chu Wuming had to be severely punished. Even the emperor who violated the law had to be punished like a commoner, let alone a prince like Chu Wuming.
Moreover, if Chu Wuming really wanted to seize military power, he was already suspected of treason. This was a serious crime that could be beheaded.
The imperial city was in an uproar, and the imperial court was even more so. The imperial court assembly that lasted for two days basically revolved around Chu Wuming's matter.
The officials in Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang's camps all pointed out that this matter should be investigated and Chu Wuming should be severely punished. Regarding this, Chu Mu didn't hesitate too much. He immediately sent out an imperial decree to summon Chu Wuming to the imperial city. It was obvious that he wanted to interrogate Chu Wuming.
In Hulao Pass' Zhenshan City, Chu Wuming had already received Chu Mu's imperial decree yesterday. At this moment, he was sitting in the study room with Xiao Chen. Looking at Xiao Chen, Chu Wuming said helplessly with a bitter smile.
"My two good brothers really didn't give me any chance to live."
With a glance, he could see that everything was orchestrated by his two brothers behind the scenes. As the emperor, Chu Mu actually didn't speak up for him. Instead, he wanted to summon him back to the imperial city.
He was very clear that once he returned to the imperial city, he probably wouldn't be able to come out again.
Facing Chu Wuming's bitter smile, Xiao Chen smiled and said, "What does Your Highness plan to do?"
"Of course. Since Imperial Father has already given the order, as your son, I naturally have to obey." Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Chu Wuming sneered.
Previously, Chu Wuming still felt that he was a little cruel. However, now that Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang had secretly tried to kill him, Chu Wuming wanted to kill him. In addition, Chu Mu didn't speak up for him in this matter. To Chu Wuming, this matter made him completely disappointed. At the same time, he didn't have the slightest bit of hesitation about what he was going to do in the future. After all, they wanted him dead, so why should he be merciful?
They had already discussed the matter of entering the imperial city. This time, Xiao Chen and Chu Wuming only planned to bring the Zhenshan Army and the main generals of the four legions. As for the other three legions, they would remain in Hulao Pass.
After all, Hulao Pass was an important border defense area. It had to be heavily guarded. Otherwise, if the Heavenly Wolf Empire seized the opportunity to launch an attack, they would be able to penetrate deep into the Moonless Empire's residence. This would be very troublesome.
Furthermore, the Zhenshan Army had five hundred thousand people. This was enough to control the imperial city. In addition to Zhao Feng and the other main generals of the four legions, they were more than enough to deal with any unexpected situations.
After making a decision, Chu Wuming took the lead and went to the imperial city through the Teleportation Array the next morning. Xiao Chen led the Zhenshan Army and entered the imperial city later.
After Chu Wuming left, Xiao Chen, Zhao Feng, and the other generals of the four legions gathered in the General's Mansion. They explained in detail the matters that they needed to pay attention to when they went to the imperial city.
"Do all the generals understand? After arriving at the imperial city, the first thing you need to do is take control of the imperial city gates and the imperial palace. At the same time, you need to control the imperial palace guards. "
"Young Master, rest assured. We will definitely not disappoint you." Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Zhao Feng and the other generals replied in unison.
After making all the preparations, Xiao Chen ordered the generals to start moving. For this matter, Chu Wuming took out tens of millions of mid-grade spirit stones in order to allow the five hundred thousand troops to arrive at the imperial city through the Teleportation Array in an instant.
Everyone knew that once the Teleportation Array was activated, it would consume spirit stones. Moreover, any Teleportation Array would have a limit on the number of people it could transport at a time. Take the Teleportation Array in Zhenshan City for example. Because this was a border town, the Teleportation Array in Zhenshan City was of a very high level. In the Moonless Empire, it was second only to the main Teleportation Array in the imperial city. However, even so, the Teleportation Array in Zhenshan City could only transport ten thousand people at a time.
Therefore, if the five hundred thousand troops wanted to go to the imperial city through the Teleportation Array, they would have to continuously teleport. As a result, the amount of spirit stones required was naturally huge. However, Chu Wuming had already prepared all of them.
Tens of millions of spiritual senses were constantly injected into the Teleportation Array. At the same time, teams of well-equipped soldiers were constantly entering the Teleportation Array.
Just as Xiao Chen was arranging for the troops to arrive at the imperial city, Chu Wuming, who arrived at the imperial city first, had already arrived at the Wuhe Palace in the imperial palace.
Chu Mu and the ministers of the Moonless Empire were all gathered in the Wuhe Palace. Chu Wuming stood in front of the ministers with a calm expression. However, his eyes unconsciously revealed a trace of disappointment.
As soon as he arrived at Wuhe Palace, Chu Wuming was attacked by the officials. Words such as secretly seizing military power, plotting rebellion, and so on were endless. It was obvious that they wanted to accuse him of being a traitor and a traitor.
In the face of the ministers' accusations, Chu Wuming did not say a word from beginning to end. This made Chu Wuming completely disappointed.
Coldly sweeping his gaze across the crowd, Chu Wuming secretly memorized the names of the ministers who shouted the loudest. In his heart, Chu Wuming had already sentenced these people to death.
"Enough." After a full hour, Chu Mu shouted in a deep voice, interrupting the ministers' accusations. Then, he looked at Chu Wuming and asked expressionlessly.
"Chu Wuming, the ministers said that you secretly seized military power and plotted to rebel. You even secretly killed the general of the Weiyuan Army. Do you admit to these things?"
"Father, does it make a difference whether I admit it or not?" Hearing Chu Wuming's words, Chu Wuming indifferently replied. Since Chu Mu had already spoken, it meant that he already had an answer in his heart. As expected, Chu Wuming said indifferently.
"Chu Wuming, there's no smoke without fire. From today onwards, hand over the Battle Dragon Camp and the Royal Academy's Human Island. Return to the palace and reflect in peace."
Chu Mu had already made his decision. He immediately executed Chu Wuming. Although he did not order Chu Wuming to be executed, he took away all the power in Chu Wuming's hands. At the same time, he also ordered Chu Wuming to return to the palace to reflect. However, rather than calling it reflection, it was more appropriate to call it house arrest.
