Surrounded? What's going on? Haozhen, Che Buchi, and the other two were shocked and rushed to the gate immediately.
The door opened, revealing a blazing fire outside. A group of men and horses had surrounded the Prince's Mansion. It was obvious that they were the guards of the capital.
Haozhen pulled the coat on his shoulders, walked down the stairs, and shouted, "What do you want?"
A general stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Your Royal Highness, there are spies from Jin Kingdom in the capital. To protect the Prince, under the order of the Prince Regent, I'm here to protect you. Please don't worry, Prince."
"Prince Regent?" Haozhen was furious and shouted, "Where did this Prince Regent come from? Move, I want to see His Majesty! "
A cultivator from the Mystic Weapon Sect showed up and said, "Prince, please behave yourself. Please come in and rest, and wait for His Majesty's order!"
Xie Longfei stepped forward and pulled Haozhen. He turned around and signaled Che Buchi and Gao Jianhou to hold Haozhen's arms.
Che Buchi whispered, "Prince, don't be impulsive!" The two almost dragged Haozhen back.
At this moment, Xie Longfei stepped forward and cupped his hands at the cultivator from the Mystic Weapon Sect, "Senior Martial Brother, let's talk in private!"
The two separated from the surrounding people and went to a remote place outside. Xie Longfei whispered, "Senior Martial Brother, what's going on?"
The Profound Weapon Sect's cultivator also said in a low voice, "Junior Brother Xie, the Qi Nation has already changed. You shouldn't get involved in this matter. This is the sect's intention, and it is also the intention of the three major sects. I am only acting under the sect master's decree …"
After a while, Xie Longfei returned to the mansion and ordered the guards to close the gate. He hurried to the main hall to meet with Haozhen and the others. The latter couldn't help but ask about the situation.
The situation was complicated and simple. Emperor Qi's Haoyun Tu was sick. Under the current situation, the three major sects felt that Haoyun Tu's energy was not enough, and he couldn't control the situation. Instead of waiting for Haoyun Tu's physical condition to suddenly deteriorate and cause chaos among the kings, it was better to stabilize the internal situation as fast as lightning.
The three major sects had already chosen the Jade King, Hao Hong, to take over. With the support of the three major sects, coupled with Hao Yun Tu's physical condition, all the ministers in the court had basically sided with Hao Hong. Those who had objections were all controlled.
However, Hao Yun Tu was unwilling to hand over power, so Hao Hong was unable to successfully ascend the throne, and could only temporarily be appointed as the regent.
Haohong was afraid that the Prince would rebel, so he ordered the capital region's guards to surround the Prince's Mansions, which was to temporarily put the Princes under house arrest. If any Prince dared to trespass and leave, the order was to kill without mercy!
The generals who were loyal to the Vast Cloud Map and were in control of the military power of Gyeonggi Province were suddenly controlled by the three major sects. Only then did they successfully mobilize the guards of the capital.
A group of commanders in the palace's Imperial Army, those who were loyal to the Vast Cloud Painting to the death, were already directly massacred.
As for Hao Hong, he was already stationed in the Imperial Palace as the Regent.
"This is treason and usurpation!" Haozhen slammed his fist on the table and said hatefully. He had endured for so many years, but it happened so suddenly. It could be said that he was not prepared at all. He was not resigned to it!
Che Buchi, Gao Jianhou, and Xie Longfei were also dejected. The sect's sudden decision came without any warning, and they did not even have the chance to fight for it. Their relationship with Hao Hong was also bound together for good or bad.
They had been secretly fighting for Haozhen's support in the sect for a long time. Now that the sect had made the final decision, what could they do? Could they disobey the order?
"The three major sects chose the Jade King not without reason. Behind the Jade King is Huyan Wuhen, who holds the military power. In the current situation, the three major sects probably have to act according to Huyan Wuhen's wishes." Gao Jianhou looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh.
No matter what, they were still the disciples of the three major sects. They still had a way out.
Haozhen's eyes flickered, but he had no way out. His life and death were probably tied to Hao Hong. He had no idea how Hao Hong would deal with him later.
The sky had just brightened, and everyone in the Ying King's Residence was anxious.
Shao Liuer, who had washed up and dressed herself neatly, appeared. She had already heard about the situation outside. She entered the main hall and asked worriedly, "Prince, what happened?"
…
"Prince Regent? What Prince Regent? "
Outside the Huyan Residence, there was still a large group of people surrounding it. A group of retired servants were fearless. They held their weapons and confronted the army at the door.
They had the advantage in numbers, but facing these old and weak servants, they seemed to have a guilty conscience. They were obviously not confident.
Hao Qingqing, who had a big belly, held her sword and shouted at the door, "Move aside, I want to see my father!"
The army refused to move aside. Hao Qingqing was furious. She drew her sword and shouted, "Move aside or not!"
The leader said in a deep voice, "Princess, please don't make things difficult for us. If you dare to force your way in, don't blame us for being impolite!"
An old servant, who had lost a few fingers, was furious when he heard this. He waved his sword and pointed, "Fang Ye, think about it. When you were working for me, did I ever mistreat you? If you dare to touch Little Zhumu today, see if I don't skin you alive! "
The leader's expression twitched. He glanced at the old and weak people in front of him and felt a headache coming on. If he really did anything to these people, he would lose the support of the army in the future. It would be difficult for him to establish himself in the Qi Kingdom's army.
"Impolite? You dog, how dare you cause trouble at my doorstep! "The bearded Huyan Wei rushed forward and kicked him.
Bang! The leader staggered backward from the kick and was supported by a group of people behind him.
A few cultivators stepped forward to stop him and said in a deep voice, "Huyan Wei, don't be impudent!"
Huyan Wei roared angrily, "If you three major sects have the ability, kill me. Otherwise, I will show you how impudent I am today!"
The few cultivators looked at each other. Who would dare to kill Huyan Wuhen's son? Who would dare to move? If they really moved, they wouldn't be able to answer to the sect.
The leader of the group stood up straight and pressed his stomach. He stepped forward and signaled for the cultivators to step back. He approached Hu Yanwei and said in a low voice, "Young General, please understand our difficulties. We also have no choice but to do this. Later, order some people to go out and buy things. Secretly send a message to the General with the golden wings. I won't investigate carefully. In the current situation, only the General's words are useful. Our struggles against the three major sects won't help. Only the General can intimidate the rascals. Only the General can decide the situation! "
Huyan Wei's eyes flickered.
At this moment, Hao Qingqing, who had cold sweat on her forehead, finally couldn't hold it in anymore. She clutched her big stomach and swayed, letting out a painful groan.
This scene immediately threw the confrontation into chaos.
A baby girl was born in this chaotic situation in Qi Capital …
In the palace, the Jade Prince and the current Prince Regent, Hao Hong, paced back and forth anxiously in the hall.
He had already sent a message to Huyan Wuhen and was waiting for his reply. He didn't know what Huyan Wuhen's attitude would be.
His father, the Emperor Haoyun Tu, refused to give Huyan Wuhen an imperial edict and didn't want to tell him that Huyan Wuhen had passed the throne to him.
This made him very uneasy. What he said to the three major sects was just to fool them with the fact that his sister, Hao Qingqing, was the daughter-in-law of the Huyan family. He wanted to cook the rice and put the three major sects in a difficult position.
However, the reality was not like that. The Huyan family had always kept a distance from him. There was no secret contact. It could also be said that the relationship between the two parties was not good.
He knew that Huyan Wuhen held the military power. At this juncture, his attitude was related to his life and death. If Huyan Wuhen didn't approve of his ascension, he would be doomed. His foundation was not stable. The three major sects could support him, but they could also destroy him. The consequences of fooling the three major sects could be imagined!
He knew all the consequences, but he had to take the risk. If he didn't do this, the three major sects would immediately support someone else. Then, the one under house arrest would be him. And, he was the most powerful competitor for the throne. How could the ruler let him live?
At this critical moment, he was gambling. He was gambling with his life. After the rice was cooked, Huyan Wuhen couldn't help but consider the overall situation.
"Prince Regent, Prince Regent, great news! Great news!" A eunuch suddenly rushed in.
Hao Hong's spirit was shaken. He quickly asked, "What's the news?"
The eunuch smiled flatteringly, "It's the princess. The princess gave birth. She married the princess of the Huyan family and gave birth to a daughter for the Huyan family!"
Hao Hong was stunned. He suspiciously asked, "Isn't the due date still early? Why did she suddenly give birth early?"
The eunuch hesitated, "It seems that when the Huyan family was besieged, the princess quarreled with the besiegers. Her pregnancy was affected, and she gave birth early."
"What?" Hao Hong was almost scared out of his wits. What time was this? This was the time when his life was at stake. He needed Huyan Wuhen's help. If Huyan Wuhen's granddaughter had an accident because of him, and Huyan Wuhen was angered, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Great news? What kind of great news is this? Hao Hong, who was still in a state of shock, kicked the eunuch to the ground. He continued to kick him, "Dog slaves, who told you to scare the princess!"
The eunuch wailed.
Hao Hong stopped, panting. He calmed his emotions and asked, "How is the physical condition of the premature newborn?"
The eunuch crawled up and knelt. His face was bruised, and his mouth and nose were bleeding. "I don't know the specific situation. The Huyan family doesn't allow outsiders to enter."
Hao Hong roared, "Why haven't you asked the three major sects to send mages to take a look? If anything happens to this prince's niece, this prince will execute you! "
Currently, the Huyan family's cultivators had been forcibly transferred by the three major sects. They were afraid that the Huyan family's influence on the military was too great. They didn't want to give the Huyan family a chance to contact the capital's garrison.
The eunuch was so scared that he scrambled away.
… …
Slap! A loud and clear slap was heard.
The Empress fell to the ground, covering her face and crying.
Hao Yuntu, who was being supported by Bu Xun, was gasping for breath. He seemed to have aged a lot in just one night. Even hitting a married woman took a lot of effort.
The Empress crawled in front of him and hugged his thigh. She raised her head and cried, "Your Majesty, Hong 'er didn't want to do such a rebellious thing, but Hong' er had no other choice. He didn't dare to go against the three major sects! Your Majesty, even if you don't think for Hong 'er, you have to think for the Kingdom of Qi. Please issue a decree to the Great General! "
Some things could be snatched. The throne could be snatched, the Emperor's Imperial Seal could be snatched. Even Bu Xun's control over the Academy Affairs Platform was taken away in one night. But no one could force Hao Yuntu to issue a decree to pass the throne. Hao Yuntu would rather die than obey!
