Chapter 451 451. Assassination

So he did not wait for the large group of honor guards at all, but he quickly turned back with General Meng and several hundred soldiers.

While passing by a bamboo forest, an accident happened.

There has long been a secret ambush here for a group of people with high martial arts skills, just waiting for the eldest prince to break into the tiger's den alone.

Soon, the people on the eldest prince's side were caught off guard, and many people fell off their horses.

General Meng was protecting the eldest prince and killing the menacing assassins at the same time. He was indeed a bit overwhelmed.

The eldest prince never expected that there would be someone waiting here.

Sure enough, we want to catch them all in one fell swoop.

If Emperor Qi was killed, he would naturally want to return to the palace quickly, so the assassins here would be waiting to kill him.

But if Emperor Qi was not killed by the explosion, he would probably have to rush back to the palace, and then the assassin here would give him another fatal blow.

Such a dragnet that really leaves no chance for them to survive.

General Meng was slashed twice and was about to lose his protection.

The eldest prince's eyes were so anxious that his eyes were red. Is it possible that his lifelong fame will be ruined here?

I saw that the assassin had chopped off all the guards around him and was heading towards him.

The eldest prince was heartbroken, and he immediately pushed General Meng, who was seriously injured while protecting him, to block the sword that was stabbing him. He then galloped onto his horse and escaped immediately with the few dozen people remaining.

Seeing the knife in his chest actually being inserted into his body, General Meng vomited blood and wanted to say something but couldn't.

The visitor also saw what he meant, so he leaned into his ear and explained the truth to him before he died.

"The Duke said that General Meng was a righteous man. Would it be more honorable to die to save His Majesty, or to be held accountable as the mastermind afterwards? The general will have a final decision."

While talking, he plunged the knife into it again and twisted it.

The big hole in his chest was bleeding, and he soon lost his breath.

Looking at the eldest prince running away, the leader of the men in black did not give an order to chase him, but all disappeared into the bamboo forest.

The eldest prince ran back to the Eastern Capital City like crazy, but he didn't notice at all that at this moment, he really ran into the golden bell of a dragnet.

Close the city gate! Quick! Close the city gate!

The eldest prince rode his horse and shouted loudly.

The defenders of the city had just seen the eldest prince follow the imperial guard out of the city. They were so high-spirited at that time, but now they are in such a state of embarrassment.

But they had to obey the eldest prince's order, and immediately ordered the city gate to be closed!

At the same time, the city gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest also received orders and were actually closed.

At this moment, Dongdu City is like an iron wall, but no one knows why the city gates are closed.

The people were panic-stricken, but the ministers in the court unexpectedly received a decree saying that the eldest prince had ordered them to enter the palace to discuss important matters.

The eldest prince, didnt you follow your Majesty to Fahua Temple?

Why did you suddenly return to Beijing?

Also call everyone to discuss things, so anxious, is it that His Majesty happened?

As expected, when they hurried to the palace, they learned the bad news that Emperor Qi had been assassinated.

The jade bodies of my father and mother will be brought back from Fahua Temple later, but there must be someone behind this matter who wants to kill both my father and me. This is a must for the throne!

As soon as the eldest prince said these words, even a fool knew who he was referring to.

The courtiers of the eldest prince's faction saw this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and even if it was not the ninth prince's fault, they would crucify him in this matter so that they would not be able to get up.

So the two of them started to quarrel. Without the support of the Wei family, the Ninth Prince and his party were defeated after several verbal battles.

Just when the matter was about to be confirmed by the eldest prince and his party, suddenly there was a shout from outside. It turned out to be the Duke of the country who had not shown up for a long time.

Behind him were the Ninth Prince and Wei Dalang, and General Meng, who had also been bandaged in a similar way. The eldest prince was surprised when he first saw General Meng.

Youre not dead?!

General Meng sneered, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you wish I were dead, otherwise wouldn't your lies be exposed?"

His surprised look just now was noticed by all the courtiers.

So both of them began to doubt what the eldest prince had just said!

The eldest prince was speechless at this moment. His surprise just now was just because he felt ashamed that he had pushed General Meng out to die. Who knew he was still alive?

It just made him a little flustered all of a sudden.

It's a pity that when the Nine Princes Party members saw their master coming, they straightened their backs and asked General Meng.

How do you say this?

General Meng suddenly raised his hand and said.

It was him, he ordered His Majesty to be killed, and then he wanted to silence me. If I hadnt noticed it in time and ran out, Id be dead now!

What! How dare you talk nonsense!

The eldest prince now understood clearly that this was clearly a chain plan.

After his father was killed in a bombing, General Meng was the first person to remind him to return to the capital. It was also General Meng who stopped him from being chased in the bamboo forest.

It is not about asking him to come back quickly to take charge of the overall situation, but it is a deliberate design to dig a hole for him to jump into.

General Meng, that is His Majestys confidant.

His one sentence is as good as the eldest prince's ten sentences.

At this moment, everyone in the eldest prince's party looked panicked. The truth about whether to kill the king or not was not important at all.

The success of the king and the failure of the bandits are the same as they just wanted to put this crime on the Ninth Prince.

So, at this moment they are thinking about how to reverse the situation.

How could the eldest prince endure hearing General Meng's confusion of right and wrong?

He immediately scolded, "You are so audacious that even I dare to interfere with you at will. Master Jue Yuan of Fahua Temple is at the scene and as long as he is summoned, my grievances can be cleared away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, General Meng snorted coldly.

Your Majesty is really good at planning. Master Jue Yuan has already lost his life in Fahua Temple to save Your Majesty. You should summon him to see if he has the words to argue for Your Majesty.

"you!"

At this time, the eldest prince realized what the airtight calculation was.

Looking at Wei Guogong with one eye, he was staring at him at the moment, and he had a rough idea in his heart.

"The Duke is really good at it. He plotted against my father first and then against me. Is he thinking that he will send us all to **** so that our ninth brother can inherit the throne?"

Since there was no way out, the eldest prince was not afraid of saying anything to offend others, and just revealed Duke Wei's plans one by one.

Duke Wei Guo's expression was as calm as a mountain, and he didn't take the eldest prince's accusations to heart at all.

He has been in court for decades and has faced countless accusations.

The eldest princes heart-wrenching remarks were nothing to worry about.

He turned to the ministers and said.
