Shaohua is Junqing

Chapter 172

Baohedian, the Imperial Palace, Kyoto, China.

"Your Majesty, I have been paying attention to King Hao's movements recently, but I haven't seen any action." Chu Shengnan said.

"It's not that he doesn't have it, but he is waiting for the right time. Now that he has the idea of ​​​​rebellion, he will not give up easily."

"If King Hao doesn't make any move, the evidence we have now is not enough to convict him."

"If he doesn't move, then we'll give him a chance to move. His wolfish ambitions will be exposed sooner or later."

"What does your majesty want?"

The emperor waved his finger, motioning Chu Shengnan to come forward, and whispered, "I obey your order and will do it right away."

The fighting in the front stopped, the guards in the capital were reduced by half, and King Hao's private soldiers were released. Mu Lianchou and King Hao mistakenly thought that their strategy had worked. King Hao gathered his troops and waited for Tu Hun's army to arrive before launching an uprising. Little did he know that King Chen found out about the army Mu Lianchou gave to King Hao as foreign aid on his way back to the capital, so he used a trick to annihilate most of the enemies and captured a small number of them.

When Mu Lianchou and King Hao learned the news, they were horrified. In a panic, King Hao could only take his troops to attack the palace at night. However, Mu Lianchou was afraid of being implicated and did not go with him. This made King Hao very angry. They had agreed to cooperate, but when the time came, he hid himself.

The emperor anticipated that Prince Hao would take action, and had already ordered Chu Shengnan to gather troops to guard the palace, while Bai Ruoshu led his troops to search the city for Mu Lianchou.

King Hao knew that if he failed in this matter he would die, so he had to do it. So after a close combat with the palace guards, he became blood-thirsty and rushed forward waving his sword. For a moment, the soldiers did not dare to touch his edge.

Chu Shengnan was dressed in military uniform, holding a long sword, standing in front of the palace gate. The cloak behind her danced in the wind, giving people a sense of solemnity under the night sky.

"Your Highness Prince Hao, I'm sorry."

A silver light flashed and a golden sound rang out. After more than ten rounds, Chu Shengnan captured King Hao alive.

"Put down your weapons and I will spare your lives." Chu Shengnan yelled.

The soldiers on both sides who were engaged in the battle were startled by the sound and stopped what they were doing. When the soldiers of King Hao saw that their master had been captured, they stopped resisting and put down their weapons one after another.

"Take all the people into custody and wait for their fate."

"Yes."

"Your Highness Prince Hao, please follow me to see the Emperor."

Prince Hao was brought to Baohe Hall by Chu Shengnan. When he saw the emperor, he still looked proud and refused to kneel down.

"You still won't kneel down when you see the emperor."

"Forget it, Mr. Chu, please wait outside the palace. I have something to say to Brother Prince Hao."

"Yes, I will retire."

"Brother Hao Wang, don't you have anything to say now?"

"What does the emperor want me to say? Success makes the king, failure makes the enemy. I am in your hands, you can kill me or chop me up as you wish."

"I think I have treated you well, why do you want to do such a treasonous thing?"

King Hao sneered, "From childhood to adulthood, whether it is academic, martial arts, or ability to handle affairs, I am better than you by several points, but the emperor chose you to be the crown prince, and then ascended the throne as the emperor. I just don't accept it. Why? We are both the emperor's children. I am better than you in every aspect. Why can you inherit the throne, while I can only be a small king living in a corner."

"Father has his own considerations when choosing who to inherit the throne. Father has made you a king, granted you a fiefdom, and allowed you to govern yourself within your jurisdiction without paying taxes."

"A small country? How can a small piece of land satisfy me? What I want is to rule the world."

"If you have any dissatisfaction or demands, please feel free to raise them. I will try my best to satisfy them. However, your actions are an attempt to usurp the throne and are extremely treasonous. I cannot take our brotherly feelings into consideration and have to punish you."

"Why are you saying so much? If I can't accomplish anything today, it's just my bad luck. You can do whatever you want to me. I don't regret anything I've done."

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "Someone come."

"Wei Chen is here."

"Take King Hao to the Heavenly Prison to await trial."

"Yes."
