Chapter 189: Mud Cannot Be Helped

puff!

The long sword passed through King Mingze's body, and two streams of blood spurted out one after the other.

At that moment, everyone was stunned, everyone stopped fighting, and the world seemed to be frozen.

"No, I, I"

The eldest prince woke up, his face full of horror and regret, and the hand holding the sword was trembling.

"Father"

Princess Mingyue rushed over, hugging King Mingze and crying bitterly.

High in the sky, two figures descended rapidly, running towards the eldest prince and King Mingze respectively.

"Eldest Prince, come here."

Master Zhou picked up the dazed eldest prince and backed away ten feet, fearing that the eldest prince would be retaliated against.

However, Master Zhou's heart was bleeding and he secretly cursed the eldest prince ten thousand times.

I am really not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but I am afraid of teammates who are like pigs!

If you want to force him into the palace, then force him into the palace properly. It shouldn’t be enough to take King Mingze away.

Why did you kill King Mingze?

This is called regicide and killing the father. The crime is heinous and it loses the support of the people!

King Mingze was assassinated in public, but the attitudes of the guards on both sides were different.

The guards here are full of fear, and the guards over there are full of resentment. How can the battle continue?

This eldest prince has a hole in his head and is an idiot!

"My king!"

The old guard, covered in scars, knelt in front of King Mingze, looking at the sword hole in King Mingze's heart, tears streaming down his face.

"Kill him for your humble duty!"

The old guard glanced at the eldest prince and said coldly.

"My son will kill me, but I will not kill my son."

King Mingze grabbed the old guard's arm and gasped.

The old guard lowered his head and closed his eyes, feeling very sad.

"Let the king's men go!"

King Mingze looked at Da Ziwang and said weakly.

The eldest prince's mind was almost blank, and he just nodded mechanically to his father's request.

"Tell Minghao that after he ascends the throne, he should be kind to his three brothers and don't kill them."

King Mingze caught Princess Mingyue again, and after just one sentence of confession, she lost her breath.

Princess Mingyue was crying so hard that she couldn't speak and could only nod her head.

By the time Lu Chen hurriedly arrived, King Mingze had already passed away, and not even the spiritual essence liquid could save him.

"My king ascends to heaven!"

The old guard raised his head and roared, his sad voice rising into the sky like a mine.

Tens of thousands of guards, friendly and enemy alike, knelt down and worshiped.

In the royal palace, the sky is filled with grief, and a generation of kings has passed away!

"Take King Mingze away!"

Lu Chen sighed, knowing that now was not the time to mourn, so it was best to leave quickly.

However, Lu Chen had no official position and the guards did not listen to him at all.

"The Panlong Jade Pendant is here. The palace guards are listening to orders. On behalf of the Crown Prince, the Fourth Prince Minghao, I order you to withdraw from the palace."

Lu Chen showed off the Panlong jade pendant and gave stern orders.

"I humbly obey my orders!"

The old guard responded loudly.

The guards loyal to King Mingze also obeyed the order and began to evacuate in an orderly manner.

"He has a Coiling Dragon Jade Pendant and you have a Coiling Dragon Jade Ring. Who is afraid of whom?"

Master Zhou said to the eldest prince, "Show the Panlong Jade Ring, interfere with Lu Chen's order, and prevent them from leaving."

"My father has appointed Ming Hao as the crown prince. Ming Hao's Panlong Jade Pendant has much more authority than my Panlong Jade Ring. I cannot interfere with his orders."

The eldest prince said.

"These people are loyal to your father. Once they leave, they will definitely work for Minghao. Minghao is your father's designated heir."

Master Zhou's eyes flashed with a ruthless look, and he said, "Then order the attack and kill them all. We can't let them become Ming Hao's power."

"No, I promised my father to let them go."

The eldest prince shook his head and said firmly.

"you"

Grand Master Zhou choked and was so angry that he was so angry. This eldest prince was such a loser. There were at least ten holes in his head!

Seeing the guards lifting the body of King Mingze, Master Zhou rolled his eyes and said to the eldest prince: "My father's body must be kept in the palace and cannot be taken away by them."

"Forget it, I can't live with my father. If my father's body is left behind, I will feel uneasy. Let them take my father's body to Minghao."

The eldest prince still shook his head, still disagreeing.

Master Zhou was so angry that one Buddha left his body and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.

The body of King Mingze cannot be sent out. It can only be operated if it is kept, okay?

Now, let’s give this opportunity to Minghao. Soon the whole country will know that you killed your father and killed your king. How can you fight for the throne?

What a big prince, he should be called a big idiot!

The super idiot who can't hold up the wall with mud!

But now that things have happened, all the guards loyal to King Mingze have withdrawn. It is useless for him to hate iron but not steel. He has to seize the time to deal with the reactions of other princes.

"Go and inform the commander of the Imperial Guards to transfer one hundred thousand Imperial Guards back to the palace!"

Master Zhou immediately ordered that after the imperial army came and consolidated the palace, the next step was to force the eldest prince to ascend the throne and provoke a war between the four princes.

At this time, the queen came over. After learning about the death of King Mingze, she had to be sad and complained.

"That dead old ghost didn't even make my son the heir apparent until he died. It's really abominable."

Fourth Prince's Mansion.

Minghao welcomed the body of King Mingze in and cried together with Mingyue.

After a long time, Ming Hao came out of his grief and went to Lu Chen with Xin Yue to discuss what to do next.

To be honest, Lu Chen didn't like to get involved in palace disputes, but he couldn't help himself.

Once King Mingze dies, the eldest prince may forcibly ascend the throne, and the other princes will definitely fight back. When the time comes, Minghao, the crown prince, will be useless.

His promise to Bai Ningshuang was to help Minghao ascend the throne. In this situation, the promise has not been fulfilled. He does not want to break his promise and become fat.

Moreover, Princess Mingyue told him that King Mingze's death was related to the Zhendan Fruit, which was the gift King Mingze originally gave him.

At that time, the timing was urgent, and King Mingze asked Princess Mingyue to eat the Zhendan Fruit, which directly drove the eldest prince crazy.

Therefore, Lu Chen felt that he had been involved in the cause and effect, and he could not stand idly by.

The three of them got together to analyze the situation. The current situation is favorable to the eldest prince.

The eldest prince has the support of Grand Tutor Zhou, the support of the imperial army, and the support of tens of thousands of palace guards. At the same time, he also controls the palace and may announce his ascension at any time.

Once he ascends the throne successfully, even if his reputation is not good, it will not prevent the eldest prince from taking power and eliminating dissidents.

Under this situation, it is useless to denounce the eldest prince, we must use military force to attack him!

Minghao immediately sent someone to notify the second and third princes, asking them to come and see their father for the last time, and to discuss the attack on the eldest prince.

The second and third princes both have military power, and they control the garrison troops of the capital and the domestic defense troops respectively.

Xin Yue's army is on the border to guard against the Ruifeng Empire and cannot be used. Minghao has no soldiers to use, so he must unite with the second and third princes.

As for the guards loyal to King Mingze, 7,000 people were withdrawn from the palace. This force is temporarily under the command of the old guards and can attack at any time.

Xin Yue contacted some old subordinates and old friends in the capital to increase Minghao's strength as much as possible.

Lu Chen is responsible for Xuantian Biezong, Dan Pavilion and Shang Pavilion, and coordinates the strength of these three major forces.
