He came with thousands of troops, wearing golden armor, majestic. Under his leadership, the royal army was destroyed and powerful, and the rebels were defeated like mountains and fell one after another.

Finally, the rebels put down their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

The gate of Hanjing City slowly opened, and the entire Hanjing City was cheering.

"Chengqian, I'm here." The teacher stroked his shoulder and lowered his head to smile at him. His smile was full of kindness and concern.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

Calls woke Chengqian up from his dream. He sat up in shock, his heart beat violently, and his clothes were wet with sweat.

The room was pitch black, and knocking on the door kept ringing, "Your Highness." It was still shouting outside.

"Wait a minute." He heard that the voice was from Ke Qing.

Because the East Palace has become an isolated castle, the Supreme Emperor controlled the entire Han capital outside the East Palace, and a large number of people turned against each other, making Chengqian in the Eastern Palace unsafe.

He had been assassinated several times in the Eastern Palace. Some were poisoned and assassinated, and the assassinated people were all from the Eastern Palace. Most of these people turned to the Supreme Emperor for various reasons, and then wanted to kill the prince to break the Eastern Palace.

After escaping several times, Ma Zhou and others did not dare to be careless. The guards around Chengqian had increased a lot, all of whom were reliable. Ke Qing was also allowed to protect Chengqian's residence, and even Chengqian's residence became the highest secret. Every night, Chengqian had to change several places to sleep, and sometimes he had to change another place halfway through the change.

Even in each living hall, there are more than a dozen rooms and dozens of beds. Unless Ke Qing and others are involved, the others have no idea which palace, room, and bed the prince slept in at night.

Open the door and Ke Qing came in.

Cheng Qian wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Do you want to change rooms?"

Ke Qing was wearing leather armor and there was a piece of soft armor inside, but Cheng Qian knew that this was an extremely powerful master. Ke Qing glanced at Cheng Qian, "Have you had a nightmare again?"

"No, I just dreamed that Taibao led the royal army to arrive, and the rebels who killed were defeated and surrendered. I was excited and happy in my dream, and I felt a little sweat." Cheng Qian said with a smile, "Teacher Ke, how long does Taibao have to arrive?"

"It will arrive in half a month at the slowest time."

"Your Highness, someone is coming from Ziwei Palace."

Chengqian threw the sweat-wiping towel aside and said disdainfully, "Are you here to persuade me to surrender again? Humph, I don't see you. If you really have the ability, just attack directly. Didn't Luo Yi shout to break the East Palace and let him come again. Let them compensate for the power of the East Palace artillery!"

"The man said there was a handwritten letter from the queen to His Highness, and he also sent something over."

I heard that there was a letter from the queen, Cheng Qian agreed to meet someone.

They came to the front hall, where the Secretary of the Central Committee worked temporarily.

The messenger from Ziwei Palace has arrived, and there is a box in front of him.

Ma Zhou and Wei Zheng and others looked very bad. When they saw the prince coming, they stepped forward to salute.

"Where is the letter?" Cheng Qian asked.

The man saluted Chengqian first, and then said, "Your Majesty told me to give the things to Your Highness first, and then read the letter after your Highness has seen the things."

Cheng Qian looked at the wooden box, "Is the thing inside? Then open it."

The box was opened and a baby was filled with mercury.

Cheng Qian was surprised, "What does this mean?"

"Your Highness, this is your ninth brother Li Ming."

"Ninth Brother?" Cheng Qian was shocked, "What's going on?"

The ninth brother of the emperor, Li Ming, whose mother is Yang. This Yang is quite special in the palace and has never been known or a member of the name because she was the Princess of Qi before. She gave birth to a son before and ranked ninth among the Chengqian brothers, so the emperor is ready to make her a concubine.

Chengqian did not expect that the ninth brother of the Emperor, who was still in his infancy, would die.

The envoy said, "Your Majesty threw him to death because Your Majesty asked Empress Changsun to write a letter to Your Highness to persuade His Highness to surrender. Empress Changsun refused, and His Majesty threw Li Ming to death. Your Majesty asked me to tell Your Highness that if Your Highness still insisted on not surrendering, then please prepare. Perhaps the next one sent it will be your fourth brother Li Tai, or your fifth sister Princess Changle. It may even be Empress Changsun."

Chengqian held his hands tightly, and his fingernails pierced into the flesh. His eyes were red and his face swelled up purple.

The messenger was still talking, but Chengqian could no longer listen.

He suddenly pulled out a short sword from his leg, rushed forward a few steps, and stabbed it into the man's ribs with one sword.

Cheng Qian, with a ferocious expression, stabbed one by one, and the blood splashed out made half of Cheng Qian's body dye all red.

"I killed you, I killed you, I killed you!"

Chengqian shouted.

He was like crazy.

The young brother's body was placed in front of him and was so cruelly killed by the Supreme Emperor. This result broke through the bottom limit he could bear.

He was greatly stimulated and made crazy moves.

Even Ke Qing was surprised and did not stop this action.

The messenger had already fallen, but Chengqian was still stuck in him.

Blood flowed all over the ground, and Cheng Qian also became a bloody man.

Ke Qing hurried forward, picked up Cheng Qian and snatched the knife from him.

"Your Highness, your Highness, calm down!"

Chengqian struggled in Ke Qing's arms, "I want to kill him, I want to kill him!"

Everyone present knew that the one in Cheng Qian's mouth was definitely not the dead unlucky person in front of him. That person must be the Supreme Emperor.

It was so that everyone could praise the prince Chengqian, who was good at character, actually shouted that he wanted to kill the emperor's grandfather. It was obvious that Li Ming's death was so exciting to him.

After a while, the prince's mood slowly calmed down.

"Teacher Ke, okay, let go of Gu, Gu has calmed down."

Ke Qing let Cheng Qian go, Cheng Qian calmly sorted out his clothes, and he returned to his seat wearing the blood-stained clothes.

"Find out that letter and give it to Orphan."

Xin was taken out of the body and Ke Qing handed it to Chengqian.

The words on the letter are familiar characters, written by Empress Changsun. The content of the letter is not long and very simple, allowing Chengqian to open the East Palace.

After reading the letter, Chengqian asked the prime ministers to circulate it.

The hall is silent.

No one expected that the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan would be so harsh. The young ninth prince was so innocent that he could even take action.

The Supreme Emperor said that the Eastern Palace would not surrender, and the next one would kill King Li Tai of Wei, Princess Changle Li Lizhi, and even Queen Changsun. With Li Ming in front, no one dared to say that the Supreme Emperor was just threatening and scaring.

Chengqian's eyes swept across everyone.

"Ma Xiangguo, what should you do now if you are alone?"

Ma Zhou sighed, not knowing how to answer. He could not say he would not pay attention to the Supreme Emperor. In that case, Chengqian would be unfilial and ignore his brother and sister and mother in danger. But he could not say he would surrender. In that case, the more than 10,000 soldiers in the Eastern Palace and countless ministers who were loyal to the emperor and the crown prince were all let down.

This is a dilemma.
