Chapter 447 The Yue Kingdom Returns to Xia

"In the third year of Yuanxing and the eleventh year of Qianshi, Su Chen, the emperor of Xia Kingdom, informed the world and the people of Yue Kingdom:

Prince Yue and Chong Wang Meng Jintai, since the death of the crown prince, have had ulterior motives and instigated brothers to kill each other, leading to a melee in various states, the people are in dire straits, and the people are suffering so much that the people are excited and revolt.

Emperor Meng had a gentle temperament, was generous and trusted his sons, but Prince Jintai did not consider his father's hardships, ignored the recent death of his brother, and did not care about other brotherhoods. This was unfaithful and unfilial.

Today, under the rule of the Yue Kingdom, the people are hungry and wailing all over the place. They do not think about the strategy of governing the country and the people, and they do not care about the danger of the lives of the people. The cruelty of their hearts can be seen. How can such a cruel thug be the prince? He is really a thief. For the sake of harming the common people of the country!

Although I am the emperor of the Xia Kingdom, I should not have my hands in the affairs of the Yue Kingdom. However, my wife Meng Yuyin, the princess of the Yue Kingdom and the daughter of Emperor Meng, is homesick for home, country, and people, and is worried and sick. I don’t want my wife to be burdened by heart disease, so I have to Regardless of being suspected of interfering in the affairs of other countries, he risked the crime of being criticized by the world's people!

He called on the people, officials, and soldiers of the Yue Kingdom to put their family and country first, think about the peace and tranquility of the people, raise righteous soldiers to fight against the tyranny, and return the sky to the people and a clear world. "

What is ups and downs?

At this moment, Meng Jintai felt the feeling of these four words. He successfully imprisoned his father, controlled all officials, took over the defense of the palace and the capital, and could mobilize as many as 70,000 troops.

This was Daqi, and the situation was almost stable. As long as nothing unexpected happened, it would be logical for his father Huang Zen to take his place and ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

However, Da Luo also came so quickly that before Da Qi could fully enjoy it, he rushed over. ,

There are only a few hundred words on that piece of paper, but every word is heartbreaking.

He had just taken a step towards the dragon chair, but before he could take the second step, he was stabbed in the back by Su Chen and dragged back.

"Ahhh!"

Meng Jintai crumpled the paper in his hand and threw it on the ground. His anger suddenly rushed up, his face turned red, and he roared "Ah!" again.

He kicked down the dragon case in front of him, and the writing, ink, paper and inkstone on it, the small square seal, and the memorials that could not be corrected in the future rolled down the imperial steps.

When the four brothers below saw this scene, although they couldn't guess what was written on the paper, they all felt happy when they saw the fourth brother deflated, especially the second brother Meng Zhaolin, who burst out laughing.

"Haha, Fourth Brother, what are you unhappy about? Tell me and let the brothers laugh along with you?"

Meng Jintai, who was venting his anger over there, turned his face slightly and looked at the four brothers with red eyes. His anger did not subside, but only restrained, and there was a coldness in the corner of his mouth.

"You have no chance to know. Take them down! Lock them up!"

Several soldiers entered the palace and escorted the four princes Meng Zhaolin away in the sight of all the ministers. After a moment of silence, the five civil and military men standing in line at Meng Jintai came out one after another to ask what happened.

Meng Jintai flicked his sleeves, strode down the imperial steps, and walked to the side hall, followed by several people.

When he arrived outside the apse, King Chong gritted his teeth, stopped suddenly, and slapped his palm on the pillar of the corridor, "The Emperor of Xia has issued a message asking the people of Yue and officials at all levels to attack me together!"

"what?"

"This this……"

The expressions of the five people who followed suddenly changed. The consequences of such a stabbing in the back can be imagined, especially the move of imprisoning fathers and brothers. How did the prefects and generals of the various states of Yue view it?

"Your Highness, then Qin..."

"Qin Hui!"

Suddenly thinking of this person, Meng Jintai immediately asked one of the five men to lead troops to arrest the other party, and shouted loudly: "You must find him, find him. If you can't find him, don't come back to see me!"

With a loud roar, Meng Jintai stormed away angrily, repelling the eunuchs and guards who wanted to follow him. He went straight to the Zhaori Pavilion where his father and mother were imprisoned. When he opened the door and entered, he saw his father. Meng Tong sat at the table talking to his mother.

"Evil son!"

When Meng Tong saw his fourth son coming in, his face turned ugly. He banged the table and stood up, without any fear of becoming a prisoner. Meng Jintai's eyes were red when he came in. He glanced at his mother who also stood up and looked over, and suddenly knelt down towards his parents.

"Father, emperor, mother, queen, sons and ministers are unfilial..."

"You still know how to be unfilial! I'll beat you to death!"

Meng Tong grabbed the porcelain pot on the table and raised it above his head. The old wife beside him hugged his arm, "Your Majesty can't help it. Jintai made a mistake. You can punish him, but don't hit him with anything in your hand." , if you are not careful, you will kill him!"

"What is this beast still doing?!"

Meng Tong pushed his wife away, but the hand that hit her finally stopped. However, Meng Jintai on the opposite side was unmoved and quietly kowtowed to the second elder three times.

Then, he said softly: "Father, emperor, mother, empress, I do not think that I am wrong."

"You...you refuse to repent!"

This time, Meng Tong directly smashed the porcelain pot in his hand, but Meng Jintai easily blocked it. He grabbed his father's wrist, snatched the porcelain pot away with his other hand, and broke it with a bang. on the ground.

He looked at Meng Tong who was glaring angrily, let go of his wrist, turned around and walked out of the room.

"In a few days, I will ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor. My father will abdicate whether he agrees to it or not. I will be your great emperor."

After walking out of the room, the guard guard closed the door directly, blocking out the angry curses inside. At this point, Meng Jintai has no other way to go. His father and brothers have already committed all the capital crimes they can commit. Even if he admits his mistake, he will not be able to reap the benefits in the future. It will be the same whether he dies early or later. It's better to take a chance.

That afternoon, except for Qin Hui, who was not caught and allowed to escape, the entire city of Lening was under his complete control. In the remaining time, as his father, he continued to issue edicts to the surrounding counties of Lening. Let the local soldiers and horses be under the control of his generals.

At the same time, Zhongshu Sheng was also asked to immediately draw up a decree to inform the Yue Kingdom that Meng Tong Chan would abdicate the emperor to him, and asked all the soldiers and horses under the four emperor brothers to lay down their weapons, return to camp and not fight again, and the local prefect would control it.

The imperial orders issued for several days in a row were all paving the way for his ascension to the throne. However, the imperial orders issued cannot be easily believed by others, especially the generals who lined up for other princes. They had the idea of ​​Conglong. , now the wind direction has suddenly changed, how to make them believe it.

At this moment, Xia Emperor Su Chen's message has spread wildly throughout the Yue Kingdom. The people who were originally oppressed and the rebels finally have a way to vent their anger, and they are flocking to the country with banners such as Qing Jun, killing Meng Jintai, who has brought disaster to the country and the people. Lening, Beijing.

Naturally, the soldiers and horses under the princes would not miss this opportunity, and responded to the rebel army to send troops to Le Ning. Even many states and counties began to respond. It was not that the appeal was reasonable or influential, but that The current state of Yue is a powder keg, and the grievances squeezed by the people and the army are too great.

Meng Jintai's actions and Su Chen's message completely ignited this barrel of gunpowder.

October 25th is an auspicious day.

Meng Jintai, who had chosen to worship heaven and ascended the throne at this time, had just finished reciting the prayer to worship heaven when a rebellion broke out in Lening City. These soldiers and horses did not belong to him in the first place, but were suppressed in the name of the emperor. When the message spread, , several generals here originally discussed to enter the palace, but later they heard that rebels from various places broke out, and King Qin's army also came to kill them, so they simply continued to pretend, and when all the troops attacked the city, they opened the city gate and let them in. Let's fight into the palace together and rescue His Majesty.

Just when Meng Jintai was dressed in costumes and offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, it was also the time when they were most relaxed. They contacted the rebels and King Qin's troops from all over the country. On the twenty-fifth day, as the sun just rose above the clouds, they attacked and killed the resettlement army. The confidant of King Chong commanded his soldiers to open the city gate and let the rebel army and King Qin's troops rush into the city.

However, what surprised these King Qin's soldiers and horses was that the resistance in the imperial city and palace was not as fierce as expected. The soldiers and horses of King Chong in the imperial city only resisted symbolically and then surrendered.

After entering the palace, they saw that most of Wen and Wu were dead, and some were seriously injured in the main hall. On the imperial steps, Meng Jintai was dressed in imperial clothes and wearing a crown, sitting on a dragon chair, cherishing Caressing Yuxi in his hand.

The five men under his command were already dead at this time. They were all killed by Meng Jintai himself, and he also killed those civil and military personnel.

"What if you enter the palace? I am already the emperor."

Meng Jintai looked like a madman at this moment, holding the jade seal in one hand and pointing with the other hand at the soldiers and horses of King Qin and the rebel soldiers who rushed into the hall. Soon, Meng Tong and the four princes were rescued. When they came here, they saw The fourth child on the imperial steps was talking to himself like a madman.

Meng Tong suddenly felt heartbroken.

"Fourth, put down the jade seal and come down, come down quickly!"

"Come down? Father... I have stood so high. How can I come down? I will fall to death if I'm not careful!" Meng Jintai seemed to have regained some of his consciousness, tears streaming down his face, and then he laughed. , held up the jade seal in his hand and showed it to them.

"However, my son has become the emperor, how about you becoming the supreme emperor? Father, you don't know that the Emperor of Xia promised me that he would support me and let me become the emperor, hehe!"

When he laughed here, his laughter became louder and louder, "Hahaha...Emperor...Haha! I will become the emperor...you saw, I will become the emperor..."

He raised his head and suddenly stopped laughing. Meng Jintai lowered his gaze, looking at each figure with red eyes, spreading his thick beard, and said word by word: "How could the emperor die in your hands!"

Clang!

The sword was unsheathed. He turned the hilt of the sword, pressed the sharp sword against his neck, and pulled without any hesitation.

There was a 'pop' between the skin and flesh, and blood shot out like an arrow in an instant, splashing an arc-shaped blood stain on the dragon chair, scarlet and dazzling.

"Fourth!"

Meng Tong stamped his feet and shouted, then rushed over. The queen's lips trembled, her eyes rolled back and she fainted in the arms of her second son.

"My prince!"

Meng Tong hugged his son's body, sat on the ground and cried loudly.

……

This rebellion was like a farce, ending with Meng Jintai ascending the throne and finally committing suicide. In the palace with white flags and white lanterns hanging, Meng Jintai's coffin was parked in the middle palace, and ashes burning with sparks were flying in the wind. At that time, Qin Hui appeared in the Yue Palace.

When he saw Meng Tong, his whole body was immersed in sadness. He only glanced at Qin Hui standing in front of him, then turned back and continued to be in a daze.

"Your Majesty...my emperor has asked the foreign minister to bring you a message."

Meng Tong remained silent and did not answer.

The lights flickered, illuminating Qin Hui's face and his voice was gloomy.

"My emperor said: Abdicate."
