Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 576

[Chapter 576 Five hundred eighty-three]

“Your Majesty, do you now know what this Dou Wei is?”

Imperial Palace, Yanxi Palace.

Queen Xie sneered again and again.

An old nanny knelt on the ground, and she had already told Zhao Heng everything about the third prince’s life experience.

At this moment, Zhao Heng’s face was pale, and his body shook violently uncontrollably.

Slowly standing up from the chair, he clenched his fists and shouted with all his strength: “Dou Wei, you old man who deserves to be cut to pieces, I…Even if I die, I will kill you!

” The Dou family’s contribution to Conglong back then, since he ascended the throne, he has treated the Dou family particularly favorably.

Hand over the position of Dasong’s first minister to Dou Wei.

These people also gave the Dou family all the benefits, allowing him to sit firmly in the top position of the most powerful family.

Even if Dou Wei and other powerful clans took control of the Forbidden Army in the palace, it would be like putting him under house arrest.

His hatred for Dou Wei is only in the struggle for power.

But he didn’t expect Dou Wei to be so vicious.

He raised Dou Wei’s son for twenty-five years.

And has maintained an adulterous relationship with Concubine Dou.

Either of these two things is a serious crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the whole family.

He, Zhao Heng, is indeed incompetent, he is indeed greedy for enjoyment, and he is timid and afraid of death.

But he is the emperor of Dasong no matter what, he is a man.

Dou Wei bullied him so much, how could he bear it!

“How does the emperor fight with Dou Wei now? The current matter is full of turmoil. No one in Jinling City knows about it. I’m afraid that Dou Wei will jump over the wall in a hurry and hurt the emperor’s life.” It’s clearer than courtiers and concubines.”

Zhao Heng’s eyes darkened upon hearing this.

He has no other way to go, and Dou Wei has no other way to go.

This matter is obvious to the world, he must kill the third prince and Concubine Dou to rectify the emperor’s policy.

Judging from the correspondence between Dou Wei and Concubine Dou, Dou Wei and Concubine Dou have a deep relationship.

In the letter, their son, the third prince, is also regarded as a treasure.

In the past, he also wondered why Dou Wei was so close to the third prince.

At that time, he just thought it was his uncle’s love for his nephew, so he didn’t think much about it.

Now he suddenly realized.

Therefore, if he wants to kill two people, Dou Wei will definitely not agree, but will take risks in order to protect them, which is not good for him.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a burst of urgency.

Immediately, he looked at Empress Xie who looked calm.

He knew that this incident was not only a humiliation to him, but also a rift between the power and clan.

You fight among the powerful clans, but all along, they just want to support their own prince to become the throne.

But what Dou Wei did was tantamount to humiliating them.

In the future, they will send their daughter to the palace as a concubine.

If the lineage of the third prince occupies the throne, the son of the third prince will be the future emperor.

At that time, wouldn’t they be asking their daughter to extend the Dou family’s heirs?

Once the princes born to concubines are all of the blood of the Dou family.

They fought back and forth to support this prince, that prince, and in the end, wasn’t it all the Dou family who won?

With such evil deeds, it is impossible for them not to alienate the Dou family and be on guard.

“The only ones who can help me right now are you, the Xie family. I know what you want. As long as you block Dou Wei for me, I will make the eldest prince the crown prince.” Zhao Heng said slowly.

He is very clear that in Jinling City, the only force that can compete with Dou Wei and Xiao Cheng is Xie Duan.

After all, Ningzhou, where Jinling is located, belongs to the Xie family.

This is why he chose Xie’s daughter as the queen, just to balance Dou Wei’s power.

If Dou Wei wanted to kill him, he had to pass the Xie family first.

“The emperor should have established Gang’er as the prince long ago, otherwise there would be no trouble today.” Empress Xie was overjoyed.

At this moment, an eunuch hurried into the Yanxi Hall and said loudly: “Your Majesty, Empress, Xie Shangshu has sent a message, and Xiao Chengzheng is leading the troops to the palace.”

Zhao Heng and Empress Xie changed their colors when they heard the words.

Jinling Forbidden Army is divided into Inner City Forbidden Army and Outer City Forbidden Army.

The Forbidden Army in the inner city was responsible for guarding the imperial palace, and the Forbidden Army in the outer city was responsible for guarding the defense of Jinling City.

Xiao Cheng has always been in command of the Forbidden Army of the Outer City, and Yang Feng has always been in charge of the Forbidden Army of the Inner City.

After Yang Feng was exiled, the general who succeeded Yang Feng was assassinated.

After that, the Forbidden Army in the inner city was controlled by powerful generals.

Since then, although Zhao Heng was able to freely enter and leave the palace, which seemed to be the same as before, it was actually equivalent to being under house arrest.

However, due to the struggle between powerful clans at that time, the generals of the Forbidden Army in the Inner City were not controlled by Xiao Cheng.

Each family elected their own people to serve as the generals of the Inner City Guards to prevent a certain family from going alone.

Unexpectedly, in just a few months, the original concerns of other powerful clans have come true.

“Without the emperor’s military talisman, the imperial army is not allowed to be mobilized. Xiao Cheng led the troops here without the emperor’s order. There is no doubt that he wants to rebel.” Empress Xie almost gritted her silver teeth.

Dou Wei is broken.

He must be clear that if his conspiracy is exposed, he will have no choice but to forcibly help the third prince to the throne.

Because any other prince ascended the throne, he would remember the conspiracy of his Dou family.

As a result, he was jealous of his Dou family, and tried to weaken his Dou family, and finally eliminated it.

In history, there are not no powerful clans that were jointly strangled by the royal family and other powerful clans.

No matter how you say it, the princes are all surnamed Zhao, and they fight each other, but in the end, Dasong Jiangshan will be surnamed Zhao, and the Dasong royal family will not change their surnames.

And he, Dou Wei, obviously crossed the threshold.

“Please, Majesty and the Emperor, go immediately through the west gate guarded by General Xie An, and then go to the north gate after leaving the palace. There are also our people there. There will be soldiers from the Xie family to meet the Emperor and Majesty.” The eunuch continued.

Then he remembered something, and he whispered something to Queen Xie.

Empress Xie nodded lightly, and said to Zhao Heng, who looked anxious, “Uncle Guo said, for the sake of praising the country, please ask the emperor to establish a prince first.”

“They are all bastards!” Zhao Heng cursed in his heart.

Then there was another wry smile, these powerful clans never cared about their own life and death, it was only for their benefit.

After much deliberation, there was no other way, so he had to ask Liang Cheng to fetch a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, write the imperial decree, and establish the eldest prince as the crown prince.

After the imperial decree was completed, Empress Xie smiled, put the imperial decree into her sleeve, and said to the little eunuch: “What are you still doing in a daze, quickly lead the way.”

After walking a few steps outside the palace with Zhao Heng, she said to a court lady: ” Immediately go and pick up Concubine Mi, and escape from Jinling together.” The

eldest prince is now the crown prince, and will be the emperor in the future.

For her, in addition to preventing Dou Wei from supporting the third prince to ascend the throne this time, she also wants to stabilize King Yan.

Because of this, she thought of saving Concubine Mi together.

Otherwise, once Xiao Cheng takes control of the palace, it will definitely be detrimental to Concubine Mi.

If Concubine Mi died, King Yan would really have nothing to worry about, and no one would be able to restrain him at that time.

But she also wanted to temporarily use King Yan to deal with the Dou family, to stabilize the country for the First Prince, and it would not be too late to consider dealing with King Yan after the First Prince ascended the throne.

When Empress Xie gave instructions to the maid, Zhao Heng quickly gave Liang Cheng a look.

Liang Cheng nodded secretly.
