Chapter 255

After breakfast, the army set out.

Chen Shao takes Xia Yiyi's men to the front, followed by 30000 troops.

When passing through the desert, Chen Shao listened, jumped off his horse and knelt down.

I will come back to you, Xia Yiyi

Xia Yiyi's people all shed tears in silence.

When Chen Shao got on the horse again, he began to ride the horse and raise his whip, and the army went straight to Kyoto.

After 12 days of rapid march, Chen Shao brought 30000 troops to the city.

When the emperor heard about it, he was furious.

Because tomorrow is the ceremony of his accession to the throne. I thought it could be carried out smoothly, but Chen Shao was killed here.

The more I thought about it, the more unhappy I felt. I pushed away everything in front of me and said, "come on."

A father-in-law knelt down to the ground with awe in his eyes. "Your Highness, what do you want to say?"

"Send someone to bring me the fourth prince. I want to talk to him."

His Royal Highness has now controlled Kyoto. He wants to talk to the fourth prince in the hope that he can help himself.

Now it's time for him. If the fourth prince can help him, he can ignore the past.

But he really underestimated the fourth Prince's disgust for him. "The fourth Prince has told me that he didn't see his royal highness."

My father-in-law said in a trembling voice, for fear that his highness might kill him

"he dares not to see my prince. Don't he want to live?"

In a rage, the prince went to his father-in-law and said, "pass on Prime Minister Dong."

There is no other way for him now. If he kills the fourth prince, the people will not be stable. If he doesn't, I'm afraid it's not easy to be the emperor.

Now, he needs someone to advise him on how to get to the throne.

My father-in-law said that he was careful to step back.

About an hour later, Prime Minister Dong was brought to the emperor by his father-in-law.

"Your Highness, thousands of years, thousands of years!" Prime Minister Dong fell on his knees with a plop.

These days, he has been used to being called around by the prince.

The emperor has not gone to court for many days. The prince has been claiming that the emperor is ill, but he won't let everyone visit him.

Prime Minister Dong also had a lot of speculation, but he did not dare to say it.

The prince took out an imperial edict, saying that the emperor passed the throne to the prince because of his health.

There is nothing wrong with it. It always makes people feel suspicious.

Today, as soon as he went to bed, his father-in-law told him that his Highness The Prince wanted to see him.

He knows that he is not a princeling party. I'm afraid he is in a bad situation today.

If he doesn't go home for two hours, his family will find a way to escape from Kyoto.

"Prime minister Dong, I can't bear to have you come here. But in the face of national affairs, what is the rest of us? "

The prince suddenly sighed and looked worried.

"Your Royal Highness, you are worried about the state affairs. It's not a pity that you will die when you are in charge."

Prime Minister Dong is still uncertain about his Royal Highness's purpose, so he can only deal with it in vain.

"Prime minister Dong has a heart. The prince asked you to come today and wanted you to meet someone. Then persuade him to come to see the prince. I don't know what Prime Minister Dong thinks? "

Dong Cheng quickly knelt down, "prince, please tell me, I'm willing to."

Prime Minister Dong couldn't figure out who his highness wanted him to see. But he knew that to keep his old life, he had to promise.

"Prime minister Dong, it's a blessing for all the people to have a prime minister like you in the state of Qi."

His Highness the prince has refused to get to the point, and Prime Minister Dong is very upset.

I always feel that his highness is procrastinating, as if he is preparing something

"I dare not, this is what I should do."

Prime Minister Dong has been kneeling on the ground, his highness did not let him up, he did not dare to get up.

At this time, a bodyguard like man asked to see, and Prime Minister Dong finally understood the prince's insidious.

"Your Highness, all the people have been put into prison. Please give instructions."

These people, needless to say, arrested his family. If he has foresight, he should let them leave directly, instead of being coerced by his highness as he is now.

Now it's too late to say anything. Any of his decisions may involve the lives of more than 300 people in the Dong family.

"Go down!"

His Highness the prince showed a successful smile at the corner of his mouth. The fourth Prince did not see him.

Then he caught his princess and moved her family again. I don't know if the fourth prince can do it.

Thinking of this, his royal highness burst into laughter, and Prime Minister Dong's heart sank all the time.

"Prime minister Dong, the prince wants you to see the fourth prince. Let him come to see the prince. As long as you can do it, the prince will make your family safe. "

His royal highness came to Prime Minister Dong and squatted down in a low voice."I will."

Prime Minister Dong had no choice. In fact, he also wanted to see the fourth Prince and know his plan.

He had long heard that the fourth prince had returned to Beijing, but he had never seen anyone.

His daughter is the fourth Prince's princess. It is reasonable that he should bring the princess to the prime minister's residence for a small gathering when he returns to Beijing.

But he has not seen two people, if not the prince, his highness said to let him see the fourth prince. He thought it was the gossip of Shijing, and the fourth Prince didn't return to Kyoto at all.

"Come and take prime minister Dong to see the fourth prince. I'm sure you'll be able to entertain his family."

Prime Minister Dong, who was just about to stand up, faltered and didn't fall to the ground. His Highness's words hit him like a heavy hammer, and he was dizzy.

I'm afraid this is not the other.

"Yes The bodyguard who had just met came in again and saluted his royal highness very respectfully.

Prime Minister Dong stood up straight, saluted his Royal Highness the prince, and then followed the steps of the bodyguard.

The bodyguards didn't walk fast or slowly. It took about a quarter of an hour for them to come to the emperor's palace.

Prime Minister Dong's heart sank when he saw that there were eight bodyguards patrolling at the entrance of his bedroom. The door was locked with a lock.

It seems that things are far from as simple as he thought.

A bodyguard came to open the door for prime minister Dong. There was only one gap in the door.

The bodyguard who brought Prime Minister Dong said, "prime minister Dong, please go in. I'll wait for you here."

Prime Minister Dong felt that his legs had been leaded. He couldn't lift them up or move forward.

"Brother bodyguard, come and help me. I don't feel I can use my strength."

With a bitter smile on his face, Prime Minister Dong turned to the bodyguard for help.

Without affectation, the bodyguard went to Prime Minister Dong and helped him into the emperor's bedroom.

Once in the bedroom, Prime Minister Dong was silly.

There are more bodyguards here than there are trees in the palace. There is a bodyguard in a few steps, which makes people feel oppressive.

When we got to the side hall, the guard opened the door of the room and said, "prime minister Dong, please go in! The fourth Prince is inside. I'll wait for you outside. "

Prime Minister Dong had just entered the side hall when the door behind him closed with a creak.

The doors and windows of the side hall were closed. It took Prime Minister Dong a while to get used to the light inside.

"Fourth prince, are you there? I'm Prime Minister Dong! "
