After the prince launched an attack, Chen Shi also ordered his subordinates to fight back. At the same time, he blocked the gate of Weiyang Palace to prevent the prince and others from marching in and buy time for his own side. The battle was at a stalemate for a time.
The prince attacked suddenly and was not well prepared. Without siege equipment, he could only use the bodies of the soldiers to knock on the gate of Weiyang Palace. The effect was not significant. So they used local materials and found logs to hit the palace door. Under such a strong impact, the palace door gradually showed signs of being opened.
Chen Shi frowned and said, "Block the palace gate for me!"
Hundreds of Forbidden Army officers crowded around the palace gate, trying to increase the pressure. How difficult it is for the opponent to attack. In such a chaotic situation, no one noticed that some people quietly raised their butcher knives and chopped down the people around them. There was chaos in front of the palace gate, and it was impossible to distinguish between friends and foes. Chen Shi was far away. When he realized something was wrong, the palace door had been opened a crack. It was this gap that allowed the prince's army to rush in.
Chen Shi had no choice but to abandon the palace gate and ordered to prevent the prince's army from entering Weiyang Palace. Both sides risked their lives and fortunes, so they fought without mercy and the scene was very intense.
After all, the Crown Prince has a large number of people, and some of the Forbidden Army support the Crown Prince. They are secretly plotting to prevent the Forbidden Army from focusing on fighting the enemy. They have to be on guard at all times, which greatly reduces their combat effectiveness. . After a brutal fight, the prince finally made a superior move and led his men into the Weiyang Hall. The Imperial Guards died, some fled, and the rest chose to surrender. Seeing that the situation was over, Chen Shi retreated to the hall with his troops loyal to Emperor Yan Ping, and continued to guard the safety of Emperor Yan Ping.
Emperor Yan Ping sat high on the throne. There were no ministers under the imperial steps. He remembered the last time he discussed state affairs in the main hall as if it happened yesterday. In the blink of an eye, he had not been there for more than half a year. Passed the court.
Emperor Yan Ping sighed, looked at the prince who walked in, and asked: "Prince, are you planning to usurp the throne?"
Although he entered the main hall, The prince's expression did not look relaxed, and he said in a deep tone: "Why do you ask questions knowingly?"
"You are the prince, and the world will be yours sooner or later. Are you so impatient?"
< p> The prince snorted coldly and asked: "Father, do you treat me like a three-year-old child? Ever since Concubine Cheng entered the palace, your thoughts have been on that woman. When the twelfth brother was born, did you Are you ready to pass on the throne to your twelfth brother? So you killed Lu Tong, extinguished your son's hope, and imprisoned me in the East Palace for the past six months. Do you want to depose me to make way for your twelfth brother?""Everything you have is given to you by me, even your life. Thunder, rain, and dew are all your grace. Even if I give you death, you have to be grateful!"
Prince He shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Father, you are wrong. You gave me my life, but my life should not be controlled by you. You forced my mother to death, and you want to do it again."If you force me to death, how can I just sit there and wait for death?
Emperor Yan Ping twitched the corner of his mouth and said sternly: "It was Li Han who killed your mother, not me!" "
"Father, do you think this kind of self-deception can convince the world? Erchen knows very well what happened back then. My mother was indeed wrong. She hurt too many people and did too many wrong things, but all of this has a lot to do with your indulgence. Seventh Brother, I am just scapegoating you for your mistakes. "
Emperor Yan Ping slapped the table and said angrily: "Shut up! It's not your turn to take care of my affairs! Li Hao, do you think that by killing your father and usurping the throne, the world will be yours? Humph, when this matter gets spread, your brothers will not let you go, and you will have to submit to the law sooner or later! If you admit your mistake now and consider the relationship between father and son, I can still let you live. Otherwise, not only you, but also the crown prince and the emperor's grandson will die because of you! ”
“Even if I commit suicide in front of you now, you will not let my family go.” If that's the case, then why don't I give it a try? "

"You! You have to think clearly, Jun'er is in charge of the three armies, and Kang'er is in charge of the Tiger and Ben army. They are both sons of the queen. Can you, a rebellious son who killed his father and usurped the throne, really be able to secure the throne? ”
“I don’t need to worry about this, my father, I will take care of it myself.” Father, it's better to be wiser, hand over the throne, and be a leisurely Supreme Emperor, isn't it?
Emperor Yan Ping said bitterly: "This world belongs to me, no one can take it away from me!" ”
Seeing that Emperor Yan Ping was stubborn, the prince signaled his men to take down Emperor Yan Ping. After receiving the order, everyone took their swords and approached Emperor Yan Ping step by step. The remaining imperial troops in the palace had no way to retreat. , fighting towards the rebels one by one without fear of death. After a brief struggle, Emperor Yan Ping was only left with Gao Shihe and Chen Xi to escort him, but he was forced to be in a very embarrassed state.
At this moment, a soldier suddenly ran in from outside the palace, whispered a few words in He Ze's ear, and then left. He Ze's expression changed drastically, and he whispered the news he had just received to the prince. , the prince’s expression was also not very good.
“He Ze, you must be quick to deal with them! "
He Ze nodded and said, "Yes. "
The two people, who were already struggling, gradually lost their strength and were arrested by the prince's people with He Ze's strong participation. Emperor Yan Ping, who was not protected by his subordinates, finally couldn't sit still. He stood up from the throne and wanted to scold him, but was kicked by He Ze and rolled down the steps. The imperial crown fell to the ground in a very embarrassed state.
Yan was stimulated. The old injury on Emperor Ping's waist was also aching, which made him unable to straighten his waist at all, and naturally he could not stand up. At this time, Emperor Yan Ping was really scared, because the threat of death was right in front of him.
"Hao'er, you want the throne, I can give it to you, why do I need to hurt you?The harmony between my father and son? "
"Father, are you willing to give up the throne? "
Emperor Yan Ping was still a little unwilling in his heart, so he remained silent. Seeing this, He Ze put his sword on Emperor Yan Ping's neck, and Emperor Yan Ping shuddered. Compared to the throne, his life It was more important, so he nodded sharply and said: "Yes, yes. ”
“Then please ask Father to issue an edict. "
He Ze grabbed Emperor Yan Ping's collar, grabbed him and returned to the throne, spread out the imperial edict, and gave him the pen. Emperor Yan Ping took the pen with a bitter look on his face. Ze wrote the imperial edict with eager eyes.
After writing, when he was about to cover the jade seal, Emperor Yan Ping discovered that the jade seal was missing.
