Chapter 1403 The Deposed Prince and Queen
He told the truth, but he didn't tell the truth. He didn't want to say more about the internal affairs of the royal family, which were related to the Huyan family's tutor.
Hao Qingqing, on the other hand, was weeping silently and didn't know what to say. His brother actually wanted to kill his father, and it was just a conspiracy to usurp the throne. His own brother actually wanted to kill his biological father.
She was originally willful, but recently she has become inexplicably sad and easy to cry.
Hu Yanwei said that he didn't understand what was going on. Whether he really didn't understand or he pretended not to understand, Haoyun Tu didn't care, but Hao Yun Tu understood it himself. As soon as Qi Jing was lost, Hu Yan Wuhen, who held the main force of Qi State, became The last card of the three major factions.
He now understood why Huyan Wuhen allowed his son Huyanwei to accept Haohong's appointment, and why he made his son Huyanwei agree to become the commander of the Imperial Guard.
As long as Hu Yanwei holds the military power in the palace, controls the imperial army, and has Hu Yanwei's protection, the guards, eunuchs, maids and other ordinary people in the palace will not be able to touch him at all.
As for the monks other than ordinary people, as long as Hu Yanwei protects them with all his strength, not even the three major sects dare to attack Hu Yanwei.
Hao Yuntu secretly lamented that he was indeed a Qi general who was good at using troops. He quietly laid down his backhand early in the morning, not only stabilizing Hao Hong, but also secretly giving him military orders to protect him as the emperor.
You can also imagine how helpless Hu Yanwuhen was when he made some decisions, making a difficult balance between him as the emperor and the state of Qi.
"My general did not disappoint me!" Hao Yuntu nodded slightly, threw the poisoned wine back in his hand, and landed with a thud.
Hu Yanwei held up his hands: "Your Majesty, the three major sects intend to evacuate. Once the monks withdraw, the imperial army alone cannot defend the palace. The situation is urgent. Your Majesty, please do not hesitate. Please follow the general and leave as soon as possible. The general will fight to the death." We must also let the three major factions lead His Majesty to evacuate safely together, and never let His Majesty suffer any loss!"
"Yes!" Hao Qingqing raised her hand to wipe her tears and nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Hu Yanwei's opinion. For the first time since the couple got married, she agreed with her husband without hesitation.
Hao Yuntu waved his hand, "Let's go out and have a look."
Hu Yanwei shouted, "Guard me!"
The accompanying imperial troops immediately formed a formation to protect the surroundings of Haoyuntu.
Hao Yuntu was wearing a wide robe, long sleeves and plain clothes, with long hair shawl. As he strode forward, he asked: "Hu Yanwei, how is the current situation of the battle with the Jin army, General?"
"Father has ordered a complete withdrawal of troops..." Hu Yanwei detailed the fighting situation outside.
After hearing this, Haoyuntu stopped suddenly, slowly raised his head to look at the sky, and murmured: "The general did not hesitate to send troops to grab food, but the situation has deteriorated to such an extent..."
Hu Yanwei was anxious, "Your Majesty, let's go quickly, brothers can't hold us back for long."
Hao Yuntu looked away, looked around the palace walls, and suddenly took a deep breath and said: "Hu Yanwei listens to the order!"
Hu Yanwei was stunned for a moment, but he still held up his hands and said, "The general is here."
Hao Yuntu said word by word: "Order the imperial army to execute all the concubines who cannot be taken away from the harem. This must be carried out immediately. The execution must be completed before the enemy captures Dauchi!"
Hao Qingqing was terrified, "Father!"
Hao Yuntu suddenly raised his hand to stop her from speaking any more.
Hu Yanwei was also a little hesitant, "Your Majesty, there is no need to put them all to death even if they can't be taken away. Let them fend for themselves. Some of them may still have a way to survive."
"What way to survive?" Hao Yuntu turned to look at him, "You should know what kind of humiliation those women will suffer after the rebels capture Da Nei. My country is not protected, and I have to give up my women to the enemy for their pleasure. Are you happy? No one cares. Do you think they are all chaste and martyr women? They can be humiliated and flatter themselves to survive, but I won’t allow it!”
His eyes suddenly turned cold, "There are also those princes and princesses who cannot be taken away. My children are not allowed to fall into the hands of the enemy and be humiliated. They will be executed together!"
"This..." Hu Yanwei was stunned.
Hao Yuntu said in a deep voice: "Do you want to resist the decree?"
"I don't dare! I will obey the order!" Hu Yanwei accepted the order with his hands, then tilted his head to indicate to his subordinates, gritted his teeth and said: "Do it immediately! There is no time, there is no time, just do it as quickly as possible! "
"Yes!" His subordinates took the order and ran away.
Outside the main hall, a group of concubines gathered. A group of frightened concubines were blocked outside by a row of monks.
These women were not stupid. They had already sensed that they were about to evacuate. They were afraid that they would not be taken with them, so they all came to look at them eagerly.
They all also know that the number of evacuated bird mounts is limited, and it is impossible for everyone to evacuate. Most of them have to stay, and only a few can evacuate.
Therefore, some concubines deliberately brought Haoyuntu's children with them, hoping to become one of the escapees by relying on the royal family's affection.
Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps, and a group of forbidden troops rushed over and surrounded these people.
The surrounded nobles were all panicking, not knowing what they were trying to do.
The people in the palace were also alerted by the movement outside. The heads of the three major sects, Hao Hong, the Queen and others quickly came to the door.
Hao Hong shouted, "What's going on?"
The Imperial Guards had their swords and guns in hand, pointing at the group of surrounded nobles, but there was no response.
There was a slight commotion on one side of the main hall. Hao Hong and others turned their heads and saw a group of people arriving. Hao Yuntu, with disheveled hair, strode towards them, followed by Hu Yanwei and Hao Qingqing.
The heads of the three major sects frowned slightly, while Hao Hong and the Queen changed their expressions. Hao Hong, in particular, felt guilty. It was obvious that the people he sent failed to succeed.
Looking at the forbidden troops who seemed to have lost control, Hao Hong's mouth was dry, his Adam's apple was twitching, and he felt inexplicable panic in his heart.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty..." The surrounded nobles shouted one after another.
Looking at these people, Hao Yuntu stopped at the outside of the Forbidden Army's encirclement and suddenly said loudly: "After enjoying the benefits of glory and wealth, you must bear the price of glory and wealth. You take a step first and wait for me!" He tilted his head slightly and said, "Let's do it! "
Hu Yanwei sighed secretly, but still nodded to his generals and signaled to take action!
The general who took the order immediately waved his hand, "Kill!"
In an instant, the swords and guns were ruthless, the encirclement advanced and the assassination was carried out, blood spattered, and the frightened people rushed around but had nowhere to escape. No one expected that bad luck would come so suddenly.
"Your Majesty, Father..." The screams could be heard endlessly, dying cries.
Hao Yuntu stood there expressionless, while Hao Qingqing lowered her head and cried, shoulders shaking.
The children in the hall, those who were eligible to evacuate, were blindfolded by the adults, turned around and were quickly taken away.
The heads of the three major sects were shocked, and all the monks present looked at each other. Hao Hong and the Queen turned pale with fright. Their legs were so weak that they could hardly stand without support.
When all the screams stopped, the Imperial Army withdrew and continued to search the entire palace to see if there were any fish that had slipped through the net.
Hao Yuntu, whose long hair was blown up by the fishy wind, stepped in a pool of blood, walked among the fallen corpses, walked towards the steps step by step, pushed away the monks who were blocking him, climbed the steps step by step, and walked to Hao Hong's mother and son.
The mother and son took a few steps back in fear.
Hao Yuntu ignored Hao Hong and stared at the queen, "Are you afraid? My princess, who was supposed to be the queen of Qi, died right in front of her, right where they fell. The rebel army besieged them, the bones were piled up, and blood flowed Chenghe, my princess is not afraid. She blocked the arrow with her body and saved me. Only because of my princess' honor can you become the queen of Qi. Look at yourself, are you worthy?" There was a look in his eyes. Full of contempt.
This contemptuous look was deeply ingrained in the Queen's bones, and she would never forget it in her life.
Hao Yuntu turned to the leaders of the three major sects, "There is a lot of killing outside, and the palace city is about to be breached. I will take care of those who cannot be taken away. If you want to leave, you should leave as soon as possible."
The three heads looked at the group of corpses under the steps, and they saw the ruthlessness of this emperor today.
Yu Wenyan raised his hand and signaled, "Your Majesty, please ride with me. I will escort your Majesty."
Hao Yuntu shook his head: "Whether I leave or not, it has no meaning anymore. Qi has reached its current situation, and I cannot escape the blame. Since I dare to sit in this world, I dare to fight bloody battles with all the soldiers to defend the world of Qi!" "
Suddenly he looked at Hao Hong, "Do you want to be the emperor of Qi? I will give you a chance. If I leave, you will stay. If you dare to stay and fight with the soldiers to the end, I will pass the throne to you now!"
Beixuan sighed: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to an end. We might as well put aside the grudges between father and son for the time being and go to the general's side first."
Hao Yuntu stared at Hao Hong: "Does he dare to let me go? If I go with him, my first order is to order the general to execute him! Hao Hong, I let you make the choice, it is you and me together as father and son. Are you going to leave, or should one of us, father and son, be left behind?"
Hao Hong's Adam's apple was twitching and his face was ugly. Everyone was watching his reaction.
Seeing that he was still silent, Hao Yuntu was disappointed, really disappointed. He had no intention of leaving at all. He just wanted to see Hao Hong's reaction. He wanted to give him a chance.
In front of so many people, Hao Hong reacted like this. Hao Yuntu was so disappointed!
Hao Yuntu no longer entangled with him, and said to the heads of the three major sects: "Take the mother and son away, I will stay here, so as not to embarrass the general!"
The three heads looked at each other.
Hao Yuntu: "Before we leave, as the Emperor of Qi, I give one last message to the three leaders, and please pass it on to the general!"
Sanqianli said: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if you say so!"
Hao Yun Tu: "My last decree is passed on to the three major sects and the generals. The prince and queen will be deposed immediately, and all the children will be demoted to military servants! The state of Qi is here, and their mother and son are here. If the state of Qi is destroyed, their mother and son are here. No longer allowed to live, or put to death!"
Haohong mother and son were shocked, and the queen cried out sadly, "Your Majesty!"
Yu Wenyan looked at the reaction of mother and son and said with a wry smile: "A country cannot live without a king for a day. Isn't this a bit too much?"
Hao Yuntu: "I see that none of the princes are present, so they must be alive. The three major sects and the generals can choose the best to be the king. There is no need to be rigid!"
The three heads looked at each other in confusion, and finally unified their opinions and said together: "I obey the order!"
Seeing that these three people actually agreed to the order, Hao Hong breathed rapidly and looked miserable. How could this happen? It’s unbelievable. He is clearly in control here, and his father has been seized of power and placed under house arrest. How could he turn the situation around instantly when he shows up?
Little did he know that his performance just now had also made the leaders of the three major factions tired of it.
In other words, he is no match for Hao Yun Tu in this imperial way. How many years has Hao Yun Tu been dealing with the three major factions? Just to let the three major factions see whether Hao Hong is worthy of being the emperor of Qi, they immediately forced Hao Hong into a desperate situation!
"You might as well kill me!" Hao Hong suddenly yelled and rushed towards Hao Yun Tu.
"Don't be rude!" Yu Wenyan stretched out his hand, and Hao Hong staggered back. Yu Wenyan waved his hand again, and two Skyfire Sect disciples immediately took Hao Hong down.
The queen fell to the ground slumped, tears streaming down her face.
