Chapter 654: King Rui Loses His Left Arm
The War King was shocked by the appearance of Liu Cejun.
Liu Cejun accused King Zhan of robbing men and forcing his wife to death on the spot, and he had no choice but to submit to King Zhan and live in humiliation in order to get revenge.
He didn't expect to discover the secret of King Zhan, who privately made weapons and even a dragon robe in the palace to rebel. Because he discovered the secret of King Zhan, he was in a panic all day long and wanted to go to the temple to pray, but he was captured by King Qi's men.
After listening to Liu Yuping's words, King Zhan immediately cried out for injustice and refused to admit that he had forcibly abducted Liu Yuping. He was angry that the other party was talking nonsense and even slandered him for wanting to rebel.
Prince Zhan kept claiming that he was innocent, but the ministers in the court refused to cooperate. The Second Princess sent people to Prince Zhan's mansion and searched out the dragon robe and weapons that Liu Cejun mentioned.
The War King was now panicked. He insisted that he knew nothing about it and pushed the blame onto his aide Wei Feng. However, Wei Feng had long since left the company.
And after some investigation, it was discovered that Wei Feng was actually the counselor of the deposed prince of Jin!
It's worth it!
The State of Jin had just sent out its troops, but the King of War was getting involved with the people of Jin and even planning a rebellion. What was he trying to do?
Non-my family, its heart must be different!
With a clang, the War King sent himself to the cell.
Compared with the King of Qi, the King of Zhan was obviously more guilty.
But the matter of fighting the king is not the most important thing, ascending the throne is the most urgent task.
The second princess wanted to take the opportunity to ascend to the throne, so she instigated many ministers to recommend her, and even secretly threatened the ministers who opposed her to turn against her. She used threats and inducements, and many of them defected.
At this time, news came from the border that Prince Rui was poisoned and his arm was broken, and the army suffered heavy losses.
The news shocked the government and the public.
This... Even King Rui, who has always been a god of war, was defeated. Who can stop the Jin cavalry now?
Finished!
This is the end! Is it too late to escape now?
Just when everyone was in a panic, good news came from the other side. King Beichen defeated the enemy army, repelling more than 100,000 enemy troops and defeating them completely.
Ministers: Uh... don't rush to run, wait and see...
The news of King Beichen's victory finally brought a ray of hope to the gloomy sky.
The people on the Second Princess' side were also happy, and they all proposed that the Second Princess take the throne.
After all, Prince Rui was disabled, and the throne could not be allowed to be sat on by a physically injured person. In addition, the Second Princess was fearless in the face of danger and had made meritorious contributions in guarding the imperial city. No one was more suitable than her to sit on the throne.
Therefore, with the recommendation of many ministers, the second princess took the throne of empress against all odds.
It was half a month later when Prince Rui learned the news.
Prince Rui had been in a coma since he was seriously injured. When he finally woke up, he found out that he had lost an arm due to poisoning and had missed the throne. He was so angry that he fainted again. When he woke up, everything was already decided.
Prince Rui found that all his relatives had left him, and he had become a cripple and unable to do anything. His temper became increasingly violent, and the people around him were inevitably angered by him.
There was war going on, and the subordinates could not bear to see King Rui so depressed. Some people suspected that King Rui's injury was not simple, so they secretly investigated.
Sure enough, the spy was discovered!
He turned out to be the most trusted subordinate of King Rui!
It turned out that the other party was someone the Second Princess had placed next to Prince Rui since childhood. It was she who poisoned Prince Rui and it was she who leaked the news to the Jin army, which led to the defeat of our army and caused Prince Rui to lose his arm.
Upon learning that all this was planned by the second brother, Prince Rui was filled with hatred. However, as much as he hated it, he could not let go of everything and return to the capital.
If the Jin cavalry invaded the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, it would probably lead to the destruction of the country and the loss of lives.
She also has a younger brother and Wuyou.
She can't leave! She can't lose!
In the end, reason triumphed over selfishness, and with the consolation of his subordinates, King Rui regrouped and planned to avenge his previous humiliation.
