Chapter 234 Compromise
Return to Weiyang Palace?
Han Xu looked at Han Luoling with doubt in his eyes.
If he returned to Weiyang Palace at this time, it would undoubtedly be a compromise and surrender.
Hou Qian would send people to surround Weiyang Palace, and Han Luoling would lose the advantage he had now, and the right to speak in the government would fall into the hands of others.
Although Emperor Wu was still alive, Hou Qian and his men would not really do anything to Han Luoling for the time being, but who knew how long Emperor Wu could hold on, especially once Wu Xiuren came to power, could he tolerate Emperor Wu to continue to occupy the throne?
Once Emperor Wu fell, Han Luoling's fate could be imagined.
Hou Qian laughed and said, "He who knows the times is a hero, and the queen is worthy of being the queen."
Bai Lang looked at Han Luoling in surprise, as if he did not expect her to make such a decision. Bai Lang said, "Have you decided?"
"Yes."
"But."
"It is not your turn to ask about my affairs." Han Luoling suddenly said to Bai Lang very sternly.
"Very good." Bai Lang said, took a deep look at Han Luoling, walked into the beam and disappeared.
Hou Qian said: "Come here, send the Empress Ling back to the palace."
Wei Zicheng waved his hand, and a team of fully armed imperial guards rushed forward. The leader said to Han Luoling: "Please, Empress!"
Han Luoling took Han Xu's hand, left the dragon throne gracefully and calmly, and left from the back passage without any nostalgia.
In the hall, without Han Luoling and Bai Lang, the situation was completely under the control of Hou Qian.
The Tiance Army and the Xuanyi Guard were disarmed by Wei Zicheng and the imperial guards, and all were taken down and imprisoned in the Tianlao.
Wu Xiuxian watched everything that happened coldly. He watched Han Xu and Han Luoling leave the hall, feeling a little disappointed.
Han Xu had warned him not long ago to keep his troops in place and not to participate in this struggle. He believed it and did it.
Just because he believed that Han Xu had already made a backup plan, because Han Xu had created too many miracles, so that no one could ignore what he said.
Just now, Wu Xiuxian still believed that Han Xu had a trump card to turn the tables. As long as he revealed the trump card, he could defeat Wu Xiuren and his party.
But in the end, nothing happened. Han Xu only blocked Wu Xiuren's move from beginning to end, and then did nothing. Han Luoling said a word, and he followed and left.
Looking at the smug look on Wu Xiuren's face, Wu Xiuxian felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.
He listened to Han Xu's advice, so he lost before he made a move. Now the Ministry of War has chosen to stand on the side, and tens of thousands of troops have surrounded the royal city and controlled the palace. He has no chance of turning the tables.
Wu Xiuren looked at Wu Xiuxian proudly. He thought that Wu Xiuxian would cause him some trouble, but he never expected that Wu Xiuxian did not bring him any resistance during the whole process, and even did nothing.
Just like that, he gave up this great opportunity, and he got everything he dreamed of without any effort.
So, in order to thank him for his honesty, Wu Xiuren decided silently in his heart that he must give his third brother a decent death in the future.
Wu Xiuren walked towards the dragon throne step by step, and everyone's eyes fell on him.
He enjoyed this moment of attention with a proud smile.
Although Emperor Wu is still alive, the royal city and the palace have fallen into his control. He only needs to use some tricks to remove the last obstacles on the road.
If Han Xu knew what Wu Xiuren was thinking, he would definitely scold him for his naivety. As a prince, Wu Xiuren had no idea what kind of foundation the Great Wu Dynasty had.
Do you really think that you can rule the country just by sitting on the dragon throne?
Can the four kings of different surnames be subordinate to a young boy?
Let alone the four kings of different surnames, even the masters in the palace would probably not recognize Wu Xiuren's throne.
Among the royal masters that Han Xu already knew, the great worshiper Jiang Yuan and the shadow leader Zhuang Cheng were masters who had entered the realm of unity of man and nature. In addition to the two of them, there were at least three masters in the realm of unity of man and nature who had never shown their faces in the palace.
Han Xu believed that the three masters were the real pillars of the Great Wu Dynasty. Perhaps they would not easily take action unless the country was destroyed and the family was ruined.
And the three masters were the ones that Han Xu was really afraid of. It was not until his cultivation was improved recently that Han Xu had the confidence to face them.
And I am afraid that Wu Xiuren still didn't know the existence of these masters.
In Wu Xiuren's eyes, there was nothing else except the dragon throne.
He approached the dragon throne step by step, just like he was stepping towards the pinnacle of his life.
It seemed like a long time had passed, but it wasn't too long. Wu Xiuren had already walked to the dragon throne.
He turned around, looked down at the civil and military officials, opened his arms, and prepared to enjoy the moment of his victory.
Just as he was about to sit down, Hou Qian suddenly took a step forward, and a burst of energy shot out, causing Wu Xiuren to stagger.
"Hou Shangshu, what do you mean by this?" Wu Xiuren asked coldly. Although he was very angry, he also knew that all this today was obtained by relying on Hou Qian, so he couldn't offend Hou Qian in words.
Even if he wanted to settle the account, he had to wait until he sat firmly on the throne.
He planned to give Hou Qian face, but Hou Qian didn't plan to give him face at all.
He only heard Hou Qian say: "Fifth Prince, you are not qualified to sit on this dragon throne."
"What, Minister Hou, are you crazy?" Hearing Hou Qian's words, Wu Xiuren couldn't bear it any longer. The dragon throne was right in front of him, what did he mean by he was not qualified to sit on it.
If he was not qualified, who was qualified?
Wu Xiuxian?
Judging from Wu Xiuxian's appearance, he obviously didn't know what happened today.
The prince?
The prince was still far away in Xishu, how could he appear here?
Besides, didn't they agree with Hou Qian beforehand?
Not only Wu Xiuren didn't understand what Hou Qian was saying, Wu Xiuxian didn't understand either, and the generals of the Ministry of War didn't understand either. Only Fang Ting, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who had been standing behind the generals and had not spoken much, showed a look of surprise.
"If this king is not qualified to sit on this dragon throne, who else is qualified to sit on it?" Wu Xiuren was furious and roared.
After saying that, he sat down directly, but before he touched the dragon throne, Hou Qian sent out another force, this time with greater force than last time, and directly bounced Wu Xiuren away, and he fell to the side, looking very embarrassed.
"Come here, take Hou Qian down!" Wu Xiuren was so angry that he didn't care about anything else and gave the order directly. However, after he gave the order, no one paid any attention to him.
"Fang Ting, go and take down this traitor!" Seeing that no one answered, Wu Xiuren saw Fang Ting in the corner and then remembered his old subordinate.
But Fang Ting shook his head and said, "Your Highness, you'd better come down. You can't sit in this seat."
"I can't sit, then who do you want to sit!"
"Of course I will." As soon as Wu Xiuren finished speaking, a slightly childish voice sounded in the hall.
