Fish only seek revenge, not leap over the Dragon Gate

Chapter 158: Chaos in the capital, officials and royal family flee

Wuwang soon learned about the situation in the city. He was very angry, but it was useless to be angry.

Right now we can only quickly stabilize these people and never let the capital city be empty.

Otherwise, even if Hua Danyang ascended the throne, he would still be a true widower.

By then, not to mention taking over half of Hua Chao's national fortune, probably even its own luck would disappear.

The matter was urgent, Wuwang flew out of the palace, stood on a high ground, and shouted with his internal energy.

"You don't have to believe some rumors. Although my master killed many people in the palace, they were all rebels."

When Wuwang's voice came, the people stopped what they were doing and listened quietly.

"Your Majesty was indeed murdered, but it was not done by our national teacher, nor by the Second Prince and Imperial Concubine Chen. Rather, it was done by other concubines and princes and princesses who saw Imperial Concubine Chen and the Second Prince being favored."

"The reason they did this is nothing more than jealousy, because Concubine Chen is just a commoner, but she has received all the favors from His Majesty, and they are resentful in their hearts."

"Plus, when His Majesty revealed that he wanted to make the Second Prince the Crown Prince, they could no longer hold back, so they united to stab His Majesty, and then asked the Queen to come forward to support the First Prince."

In a team not far from the city gate, a man said, "This bald ass can lie so well."

"I myself did not know that the concubines in the harem would collectively support me as the prince."

The eldest prince, Hua Danshen, left the palace early and set up his own household because of his old age, thus escaping the fate of being killed.

"Your Highness, we simply cannot explain clearly at this moment. The best strategy is to leave the city as soon as possible."

His staff said.

"Clear the way ahead. We can't wait for him to find time to catch us." Hua Danshen ordered the captain of the guard.

Most of the people believed what Wuwang said, but the officials from Duke Lu's faction, the officials whose daughter worked in the palace, Prince Xin and other royal family members did not believe it at all.

They were still moving outwards, but were blocked by the people and had to force their way through.

Suddenly, curses were heard from the crowd.

Some people who originally believed in Wuwang became hesitant again after seeing that those who rushed out were all people of great status.

Some smart ones decided to follow immediately.

Ordinary people have no access to information, they just hear things and then follow the trend. So many big shots are still leaving, so there must be some inside story that they don't know.

Just follow them. Even if you are wrong, you can always come back later.

However, many people chose to stay. When they first heard the voice of the Eight Pigeons, they were so excited that they only thought about escaping and did not think about whether it was true or false.

After calming down, many people don't want to leave anymore. After all, their family businesses are all in the capital, and if they leave like this, they will lose all their businesses.

I can't bear to do it anyway.

Gradually, there were more and more shouting and cursing on the streets of Beijing. Some people were walking back, while others were heading out, and they bumped into each other.

Wuwang stood on the roof and saw Prince Xin, Hua Danshen, and some officials. He narrowed his eyes and ordered the city guards, "Close the city gates. The murderer of your majesty has not been found yet. Don't let anyone go."

Prince Xin, Hua Danshen and the officials who were preparing to leave all felt a pang in their hearts and made a decision in their hearts that they must rush out immediately.

Hua Dansen gave an order with a stern expression, "Charge out, and kill anyone who stands in our way!"

"Yes!"

Prince Xin also saw Hua Danyang clearing the way and ordered his men, "Cooperate with the eldest prince, let's rush out."

As soon as Prince Xin moved, the commotion got louder. Other officials also decided to risk their lives, and they ordered, "Follow the eldest prince and Prince Xin and charge out together."

Suddenly, the scene was in chaos and many people were injured, but those who wanted to get out at this moment didn't care about that at all.

Wuwang also saw it, but before he could take any action, news came from other city gates.

"Master Imperial Master, a large number of officials and royal family members are fighting with the soldiers guarding the city at the three city gates, east, south and north."

A secret guard ran over and whispered to Wuwang.

Wuwang frowned and glanced down, his eyes were cold and murderous.

But he quickly suppressed his murderous intent and said calmly, "Go tell the guards at each city gate to let them go."

He let them go not out of kindness, but because the chaos should not continue and stability must be achieved quickly.

Compared to those royal family members and officials, the people of a city are the most important.

It’s not that he is interested in these people, but if he continues to hold them back, he is afraid that the people will have other ideas and leave with him.

The place where Hua Danyang ascended the throne must not be an empty city.

The general guarding the west city was the first to receive Wuwang's message and immediately shouted, "Open the city gate."

The shout sounded a little urgent. Fortunately, the order came. What a joke. There are so many officials in Prince Xin's Mansion and the First Prince's Mansion, and they have a lot of people under them.

If he continues to try to stop him, he will probably die here.

The city gate opened. Although Prince Xin and others were surprised that they were let go so easily, they did not hesitate and quickly passed through the city gate.

After leaving the city gate, the troops and horses did not stop and continued on their journey without stopping.

This huge team did not stop until they were fifty miles away from the capital.

Some of the wounded needed medicine and bandages, and some people had not yet prepared their belongings to leave. When they saw the people clamoring to go out, they simply packed up some belongings and followed them out of the city gate.

Stop now and tidy up a bit.

Several officials came up to the eldest prince and asked him where he was going next.

The eldest prince looked at the official in front of him and his expression improved.

He smiled and said, "This prince plans to go to Jiangnan. If you think Jiangnan is a good place, we can go together."

When the officials heard this, they immediately knew what he meant.

Going to Jiangnan was nothing more than looking for Governor Sun. The eldest prince's mother was a lady from the Sun family in Jiangnan. She entered the palace as a concubine for three years and died after giving birth to the eldest prince.

Today, Governor Sun is the eldest prince's biological uncle, so there is nothing wrong with him going to Jiangnan.

After several officials exchanged glances, they immediately expressed their willingness to follow Hua Danshen.

Everyone could see that the world was going to be in chaos after what happened in the capital. They had worked so hard to get to their current position, and no one wanted to give up.

It is better to follow a capable person and try to become a successful follower of a powerful person.

Although Hua Danshen didn't seem to have any abilities, the strength of his uncle, Governor Sun, should not be underestimated.

Huadan Arsenic is very happy with their decision, but...

Many of the officials who followed did not express their opinions, and did not even come to say hello.

He was angry, but he also knew that he couldn't lose his temper at this time. After thinking about it, he walked out of the carriage and walked towards Prince Xin.

Outside the carriage, he bowed and said, "My nephew greets Uncle Prince Xin."

Prince Xin lifted the curtain and nodded weakly.

Hua Dansen waited for a while but the other party didn't speak, so he asked, "I wonder what Uncle Xin Wang is going to do next?"

Prince Xin raised his eyelids and remained silent for a while before speaking, "Of course I'm going to find Duke Lu."

Hua Danshen's eyes lit up, but when he thought of something, the light in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

Duke Lu is very capable, if he is willing to assist him, that would be great, but...

Obviously, impossible!

Duke Lu already had the idea of ​​rebelling, so how could he possibly submit to others?

Especially since he knows his own worth, Duke Lu would definitely look down on him.

"What are your plans, Shan Arsenic?"

Hua Danshen was brought back to his senses by Prince Xin's voice. He looked directly at Prince Xin and said sincerely, "Uncle Prince Xin, my nephew is planning to go to Jiangnan. Why don't you come with me?"
