Now that the imperial palace has fallen, the Ming Dynasty is in chaos. When Prince Zhu is fleeing, the armies of King Zhao Ming and the third prince are also heading towards the imperial city, coming from the east and south respectively. The overall situation is obviously decided.

After Ling Jingyun left the eastern part of Zhao Pingwang's territory, he went to the north to look for Song Pingwang. But now Ling Jingyun was carrying the army sent by Song Pingwang to escort him, and it was obvious that he arrived a step too late. Before he entered the scope of the imperial city, the spies

Then news came that the palace had been occupied by the third prince, and that the eldest prince Zhu Fan was missing.

Upon hearing this information, Ling Jingyun was obviously in disbelief and shocked. After all, he had already reported to Prince Zhu that the Third Prince and King Zhao Ping were going to rebel, and many warriors who defended the city had indeed gathered in the palace.

, even if you combine the strength of the four Plutos, you may not be able to win the palace. How can you say that it has fallen now?

But now that the situation was over, Ling Jingyun stopped thinking about it and asked the spy: "So, is there any news about Prince Zhu?"

"I haven't heard any news that His Royal Highness Prince Zhu has been arrested, but his whereabouts are also missing." The spy replied truthfully.

"this……?"

When Ling Jingyun heard this, he was confused and at the same time felt relieved. As long as there is no news, it is the best news. After all, the third prince did not catch Prince Zhu, so it means that Prince Zhu is still safe at this moment. Now Ling Jingyun

What Yun Xun was thinking was, if Prince Zhu was really not caught, where would he be?

Then thinking about the overall situation, the east gate and south gate of the palace have been invaded by rebels, but there is no big movement at the north gate. Ling Jingyun then thought about it, could Prince Zhu escape from the west gate? And if he really escaped from the west gate.

If he escapes, Prince Zhu should go to the area under the jurisdiction of King Li Ming in the west. King Li Ming and Prince Zhu have always been on good terms, and now it is the only place that Prince Zhu can trust.

In order to help Prince Zhu escape safely, Ling Jingyun suddenly had a plan in his mind. Then he said to his subordinates: "Hurry up and go out and spread the word that Prince Zhu was rescued by Song Pluto's army."

Several subordinates sent by Song Pingwang to serve as Ling Jingyun were stunned when they heard this. Now, let alone seeing Prince Zhu, they had not even entered the palace, how could they say they had rescued Prince Zhu?

"Master Ling, where do you start with these words? Are we bluffing?" A subordinate asked doubtfully.

"Stop being so nagging! Hurry up and do as I say. It's best if the whole army shouts in unison, and you'll be waiting until early tomorrow morning to retreat to the north." Ling Jingyun said seriously.

"What about you, Master Ling?" Another subordinate asked, although he didn't know what Ling Jingyun wanted to do, but he seemed to understand something of it.

"Of course I still have tasks to do, so just do as I say." Ling Jingyun ordered, then walked out of the military camp alone and headed west.

In the palace, above the Nangong Hall, with the support of Manager Huang, Zhao Pingwang and Qian Pingwang, the third prince finally sat on the throne of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, in the magnificent Nangong Hall, a crowd of people could be seen.

A man wearing a golden dragon robe was sitting on the imperial chair in the center with an excited expression. To say that Prince Zhu looked ordinary, but the appearance of the third prince was somewhat unsatisfactory. If we insist on making a comparison, then

The ordinary Prince Zhu is more human-like than the Third Prince. Of course, neither of them can be described as handsome. The Third Prince's round head and fat belly are like a gourd. Such an image can only be described as handsome.

It can give people a feeling of wealth. And the facial features are almost gathered together, so that some people may even wonder if they look like a fool.

And if Zhang Xiaofeng were here at this moment, he would definitely think so. And he never would have thought that the person behind the Ming Dynasty rebellion would be such a person. It is true that a person cannot be judged by his appearance, and the sea cannot be measured.

Now that he has ascended the throne, the third prince was so happy that he almost wanted to dance with his hands to express his inner excitement. Therefore, he said: "Thank you for your hard work, sir. Now that I have ascended the throne, I will definitely not treat you badly. To celebrate, today the palace

Let’s celebrate with a banquet in Nanyuan for three days.”

After hearing this, Eunuch Huang immediately asked: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has now ascended the throne, and it is indeed time for a big celebration. It's just that there is some chaos outside. Maybe it can be celebrated tomorrow?"

The third prince thought about it and realized that Eunuch Huang was absolutely right. Now the Nangong Square was already a battlefield that had just been fought, and it sounded a bit messy to say it was messy. So he said: "Yes! That's right! Let's celebrate tomorrow!"

"The prince is wise!" Huang Eunuch flattered him and slapped him over.

Now the third prince is very happy, but the two great heroes of this rebellion, Zhao Pingwang and Qian Pingwang, are now standing at the front of the palace. Although they are now one person below ten thousand people, but

Zhao Ping Wang and Qian Ping Wang were obviously a little unhappy. Especially Zhao Ping Wang, who was holding back a lot of anger in his stomach at this time.

It stands to reason that the entire conspiracy and rebellion was led by King Zhao Ping. And whether it was money or effort, it was all controlled by King Zhao Ping himself. Furthermore, in addition to the alliance between himself and the third prince, the third prince's father-in-law was also behind it.

, he is the father of the country, so his current status should be higher than that of Qian Pluto. How can he be on an equal footing with Qian Pluto?

After all, in the view of Zhao Pingwang, Qian Pingwang took the opportunity to side with the third prince, and from the beginning to the end, he did not make any effort, but ended up getting a status that was equal to his own. Zhao Pingwang obviously felt a little aggrieved.

and unhappy.

Qian Pingwang's thoughts at this time were similar to those of Zhao Pingwang. Zhao Pingwang actually didn't know anything about what he had done behind the scenes in the past. It was just that no matter which Pluto it was, he had done a lot of things for the third prince, but the other party had no idea that there was anything else.

Another ally exists.

"Your Highness, Third Prince, it is necessary to celebrate, but the Prime Minister feels that it is not too early to be happy, after all, Zhu Fan himself has not been caught yet." King Qian Ping seemed to have been holding back for a long time and wanted to vent, so he admonished.

When the third prince heard this, he was obviously a little surprised, and then looked at Eunuch Huang.

When Eunuch Huang saw this, he was extremely calm. Then he looked at King Zhao Ping with a smile and asked, "King Zhao Ping, you should be responsible for this matter, right?"

From the moment Qian Pingwang opened his mouth, Zhao Mingwang knew that Qian Pingwang was definitely going to bite him. But he didn't say anything and wanted to bring this matter up, which really made Zhao Pingwang a little embarrassed. After all, the arrest of Prince Zhu was all arranged by himself.

Yes, but Prince Zhu was originally in the palace, but now he is missing. Therefore, King Zhao Ping could not refute, but said: "Now the Prime Minister has ordered all his subordinates to do their best to trace the whereabouts of Zhu Fan."

"Hmph! Zhu Fan was already in trouble, just a little lamb waiting for you to catch him. But you, Zhao Pingwang, the king of the eastern underworld, can't even catch a little lamb. Your ability really makes me

I feel a little suspicious!" Seeing Zhao Pingwang embarrassed, Qian Pingwang felt very happy, but he also did not forget to ridicule Zhao Pingwang and make fun of him.

"Qian Pingwang, what do you mean by this?" Zhao Pingwang has been patient for many years, but now faced with Qian Pingwang's provocation, he really couldn't bear it anymore, so he rushed towards Qian Pingwang with anger.

"Okay, two great heroes, now is not the time to quarrel. We have to focus on the overall situation. Now Zhao Pingwang has neglected his duty, but if Zhu Fan can be caught as soon as possible, he will still be indispensable.

Too late!" Huang Eunuch saw that Zhao Ping Wang and Qian Ping Wang were staring at each other, almost starting to fight, so he tried to reconcile. Now that the throne has just been newly ascended, the Ming Dynasty should be in peace, so how can there be internal strife?

King Zhao Ming was speechless and began to fall silent. After leaving the main hall, King Zhao Ming immediately returned to the dark room in the old imperial city and called his son Zhao Jing.

"Father, I know I was wrong." As soon as Zhao Jing entered the dark room, he saw that King Zhao Ping had an angry look on his face, so he knelt in front of King Zhao Ping as soon as he entered the door.

"How could you be so negligent? I sent so many experts to you, but you can't even handle small things like this. How can you do big things in the future?" Zhao Pingwang sternly lectured.

"Originally, things were going very smoothly, but unexpectedly, the Beigong suddenly became chaotic, and all the abandoned concubines fled one after another. I thought that Prince Zhu escaped among the abandoned concubines..." Zhao Jing explained.

"Since you know it, why did you leave it out? And what were you doing during this period? Prince Zhu has a higher reputation than the third prince. Once he regains his strength and returns, we will all lose our heads!" Zhao Pingwang said, obviously unable to calm down.

"During this period... I discovered that the boy also appeared in the palace. In order to investigate the details of the boy, I made an omission. In addition, there were traitors among the masters sent by you, father." Zhao Jing panicked.

In the process, we can only slowly eliminate all the causes of sin.

"What traitor?" King Zhao Ping couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this.

"Originally, I have captured the kid, but he was rescued by a master. Since the people you sent were all masked, I don't know which master rescued him." Zhao Jing responded truthfully.

road.

"this……?"

Zhao Ping Wang is obviously a little unbelievable. After all, among the group of masters he has found, some of them are very powerful and are among the top masters in the underworld. Is it possible that some of these people are dissatisfied with him? Therefore, Zhao Ping Wang is here.

Shi also wanted to ask which master betrayed him.

And when Zhao Pingwang was still thinking, a man in black knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

King Zhao Ping said casually and indifferently.

"Reporting to my lord, Prince Zhu has already found his whereabouts." The man in black responded respectfully after coming in.

"Well? Where?"

When King Zhao Ming and Zhao Jing heard this, they both asked with some surprise.

"Prince Zhu is now outside the imperial city, in the military camp of Song Pluto's army from the north." The man in black reported back.

"this……?"

Zhao Mingwang and Zhao Jing both looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

"Father, could it be that Prince Zhu already knew that the situation was over and left the palace early?" Zhao Jing analyzed.
