Chapter 1640 Usurping the Throne
"Bang!"
In the King's Palace of Linyi, Fan Zhenlong was furious and kicked over a table, frightening the maids and guards in the palace to kneel on the ground.
At this moment, where does Fan Zhenlong still have the aloof and royal demeanor that he usually has? After being pulled up from the bed and told that the rebels had invaded the palace, he was so horrified that he just threw on a robe and ran out of the palace with disheveled hair and bare feet...
"Report!"
A guard ran in sweating profusely, knelt down in the tunnel and said: "Your Majesty, the rebels have already attacked..."
Fan Zhenlong's eyes were red, his nose opened and closed, he was frightened and angry, and he shouted: "Where are the guards? There are thousands of guards in the palace, how can we let the rebels march straight in? Send the order immediately, stop the rebels for me, Even if you die, you have to stop it! As long as the rebels can be delayed for a moment, the civil and military ministers in the city will definitely summon the army to the palace to help the king!"
The guard looked mournful and said: "Your Majesty! General Jiadu has controlled all the troops in the city. Even the four gates have been tightly sealed. The ministers can't get out at all, let alone mobilize troops."
"Fart!"
Fan Zhenlong was furious. He stepped forward and kicked the guard over. He cursed with his halberd finger: "This is stupid! There are tens of thousands of troops mobilized by my king from all over the country outside the city. I only know that there are people who go out to guard the king's city. love Xing told me that he would naturally break through the city gate and come to rescue him. Jia Dulangzi is ambitious, but how can he withstand tens of thousands of troops under his command? If you don't go down and deliver the order, I will kill you!"
"Here..."
The guards didn't dare to say anything, so they could only get up and run out.
The general just ran to the door and then retreated. Fan Zhenlong was furious and was about to curse when he suddenly heard a burst of chaotic footsteps. A large group of soldiers rushed into the hall with a "whoop". The leader was walking with his head held high and his body was majestic. He was not a general. Who else can there be in Gadu?
Fan Zhenlong's face instantly turned pale, his body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground.
It’s over…
How could thousands of well-equipped and long-trained guards break into the main hall of the palace without taking a few steps against the rebels? The only possibility for this situation is that all the guards surrender and allow the rebels to march straight in...
He once dreamed of expelling the Tang Dynasty and reviving Linyi and becoming the greatest king in the history of Linyi Kingdom. However, he did not know how he had betrayed his relatives to such an extent that even the most trusted guards around him betrayed him... This was worse than death. Sad result.
Fan Zhenlong stood blankly in front of the throne, his face was ashen, and he said in despair: "Why is the general like this? Why is he like this?"
After asking, I suddenly woke up!
I am the king of Linyi! How can we beg for mercy in the face of the rebels? Even if he fights to death, he cannot be treated as a cowardly laughing stock!
"呛啷"
He suddenly pulled out the saber in the hands of the guards around him, pointed the tip of the sword at Gadu, and shouted: "All the guards, fight to the death with this king!"
"Here!"
More than a dozen imperial guards stood in front of Fan Zhenlong with weapons in hand. Although everyone looked panicked, no one retreated.
Jiadu turned a blind eye to these imperial guards, stepped forward slowly with his sword on his waist, stared at Fan Zhenlong with a pair of wild wolf-like eyes, and said slowly: "The general's army has taken control of the entire palace, your Majesty, please don't resist stubbornly, or you will suffer more consequences." Many imperial guards died in vain... As long as you can issue an edict and abdicate the throne to the general, the general will be grateful for your grace and treat the Fan family well."
Fan Zhenlong's breath suddenly stagnated.
He was originally a man of great ambition, but after ascending to the throne, his flesh and blood was corroded by the extravagant enjoyment, leaving only a body like a walking corpse. In front of him, Jiadu had been following him in the charge, but now he led an army to attack the palace and forced him into a desperate situation...
If he could wake up from his extravagant enjoyment earlier, would today's desperate situation not happen?
Fan Zhenlong bit his lip, and a fishy heat poured into his mouth. He stared at Jiadu in front of him and shouted angrily: "I have treated you with great kindness and trust, so why are you willing to become a sinner of Linyi Kingdom and rebel against me?" King? Even today I Can you, a rebellious traitor with a bad reputation, be able to secure your position as the king of Linyi? Remembering our old friendship, listen to my advice, put down your weapons and withdraw from the palace. I will spare your life! ”
"Hahaha..."
Jiadu looked up to the sky and laughed so hard that tears came down his face. He pointed at Fan Zhenlong and said out of breath: "Your Majesty, you are so naive... you are a traitor and traitor? You are the biggest traitor and traitor in Lin Yi Kingdom! It was you who led the Tang people into the house. It was you who ceded land to compensate for the loss of power and humiliated the country, which caused the successive kings of Linyi to be humiliated! Now you bite back and pretend to be a saint?”
After laughing for a while, Jiadu straightened up, with a ferocious face, waved his arms and said sternly: "That's right! I am a traitor and a traitor. I want to plot to usurp the throne. I want to kill the king! The position of king of Linyi belongs to you. If you can rob other people’s things that the clan robbed, why can’t others rob you?”
Fan Zhenlong was so angry that he burst into rage: "How shameless, how shameless! How dare the rebellious ministers and traitors dare to be so calm and sound, aren't you afraid of bringing shame to your ancestors?"
Jiadu sneered and said: "Shamed? No, no, no, my ancestors and all the people of Linyi will be proud of me! Your Majesty, you overestimate your own capabilities. For the sake of your own ambition and power, you will not hesitate to fight against the Tang Dynasty." open Zhan, you are pushing all the people of Linyi into the fire kang! The Tang Dynasty is so powerful that the army of hundreds of battles is rampant in the world. How can Linyi country resist? The Tang Dynasty has never coveted the land of Linyi country, but is open to trade? , this is a policy that benefits the country and the people. With Datang as an ally, Linyi can resist the surrounding enemy countries; with Datang, the people of Linyi will become richer and richer... But you, you are trying to conquer Linyi How can you bear to push the country to the opposite side of the Tang Dynasty and let countless people from Linyi die for your ambition? Will the ancestors of Linyi country come out of hell to take your life?"
The more he spoke, the more excited he became. His hair and beard were all arrogant, and he pushed forward step by step. The guards in front of Fan Zhenlong were all as silent as cicadas, and slowly retreated, but they did not stop. Dare to wield a knife at each other...
Fan Zhenlong suddenly calmed down, stared at Jiadu and asked suddenly: "Have you reached an agreement with Datang?"
Jia Du is now a bachelor. Now that the matter has come to this point, there is no way out. But the next step is to find the throne right in front of him, so what is there to be afraid of?
He nodded and said: "Yes, as long as the general can control the palace and capture you, the king, the Tang army will use the pretext of quelling the war to send troops to assist the general in exterminating the bandits. The tens of thousands of troops outside the city who received the king's order came to serve the king. , either lay down their weapons and surrender on the spot, or be left with corpses everywhere under the charge of the Tang Dynasty cavalry!”
Fan Zhenlong's eyes are about to burst!
He did not think that the Tang army could withstand the charge of tens of thousands of Linyi troops. No matter how powerful the Tang army was, they could still fight. Moreover, this is the territory of Lin Yi State after all. Once the war breaks out, those wavering forces will definitely respond to his king's call and come from all over the country. The goal of driving the Tang people back to the sea may not be achieved.
However, if there is a counter-attack by Jiadu, the power of the powerful cavalry charge of the Tang army will be fully displayed...
"Thief! They are all members of your country of the same origin and species. How can you betray your ancestors and single-handedly push them into brutal killings? How can you bear it!"
Fan Zhenlong's eyes were about to bleed. If he hadn't become a turtle in a jar, he would have wanted to chop this traitor and traitor into pieces!
Jiadu didn't take it seriously and said proudly: "One general has achieved great success, let alone the dominance of the throne? The emperor of the Tang Dynasty killed his brother and his brother, forced his father to abdicate, and attempted to usurp the throne. This is rare in the history, but it was because of him. After ascending to the throne, he worked hard to govern and made the Tang Dynasty powerful. As long as I can treat the people well and implement good governance, so that the people of Linyi can be prosperous and safe, who will care about the wrong origin of my throne?"< br>
Fan Zhenlong was speechless.
Even if he wishes to eat this man's flesh and blood, he has to admit in his heart that as long as he has the support of the Tang people, he can really sit on the throne. If he imitates the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and works hard to govern and make the people rich, maybe it will last for thousands of years. Later, this rebellious minister and traitor who tried to usurp the throne became the most important king in the hearts of Linyi people...
Jia Du looked at Fan Zhenlong, who was slumped and silent, and said slowly: "I am thinking of you, my king and my ministers, so I will waste my time to make you understand. Now that the time has come, let the general send the king off on his way!"
Holding a sharp long sword, he advanced towards the throne step by step... (End of this chapter)
