There are many rumors about the fourth prince in Kyoto.
There are more than a hundred rumors, and the contents are divided into three categories.
The first category is bullying men and women, using power to bully others, seeking wealth and death, and the second category is colluding with officials. , enriching one's own pockets, taking bribes and bending the law.
The third category is colluding with multiple city lords with the intention of treason and having an affair with the emperor's concubine.
One hundred and eighty different rumors of guilt, divided into three categories, swept through the entire empire at the speed of a violent wind.
Within three days, everyone knew the 180 crimes.
The Fourth Prince, who was the party involved in this matter, had no reaction or even clarification.
In his opinion, these rumors would disappear within a few days.
This kind of thing had happened before.
He did not need to come forward to clarify the rumors.
The attack breaks itself.
Now all his thoughts are on the Ninth Prince and Zhao Yufan.
If the two of them join forces, they will be a big threat.
The reason why many people fail is often because they underestimate the crisis that they think they can easily solve.
The fourth prince underestimated the power of rumors.
By the time he woke up, it was too late.
The fourth prince woke up at eight o'clock in the morning, but before eight o'clock, a group of imperial ministers headed by the eldest prince and the ninth prince had rushed to the palace and asked the emperor to deal with the matter seriously.
At the same time, at the four gates of the palace, , gathered tens of thousands of people, and strongly demanded that the emperor handle the matter impartially and execute the fourth prince.
In the palace, Emperor Tang Yang remained silent.
Dozens of imperial ministers knelt below him.
They strongly demanded that the fourth prince be punished, and each of them held evidence of the fourth prince's crime.
There used to be one hundred and eighty rumors in Kyoto, but now there is irrefutable evidence.
They are no longer rumors, but facts.
The evidence in the hands of the ministers was well-founded and extremely true.
Emperor Tang Yang didn't want to believe it, but the evidence was right in front of him, so he couldn't believe it.
What annoyed him the most was that the fourth prince actually had an affair with one of his concubines.
This What a disgrace.
"How dare someone come here and drag Liu Xintong out and kill her?"
Emperor Tang Yang roared angrily and sentenced the concubine who had slept with him, that is, the concubine who had an affair with the fourth prince.
Tens of thousands of people gathered at the west gate of Kyoto and at the gate of the city.
It was here that the concubine Liu Xintong was executed.
She shouted "unjust" and was beheaded by the executioner with a knife.
Blood spurted out, and her eyes stared at the sky with unblinking eyes.
People's scalps were numb, and waves of chill filled the hearts of the people.
They were so frightened that they took a few steps back, not daring to look at those eyes.
The already tense atmosphere became even more intense after the death of the concubine.
The fourth prince hurriedly got dressed and rushed to the palace.
As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he was stopped by soldiers.
"Go away, you are blind, don't you know who I am?"
The fourth prince scolded angrily, with faint bloodshot eyes appearing in his pupils.
The guard behind him drew his sword and moved forward, staring at the soldiers angrily.
The soldier was helpless and said with a bitter smile: "Fourth Prince, please don't embarrass me.
This is the emperor's order.
How dare I disobey it."
"Father, Father's order."

The fourth prince stared at the soldier in disbelief, shaking his head more and more violently, "How is it possible, how is it possible, how is it possible that Father will not see me, no, I have to kneel here, When will my father agree to see me?
I'll get up."
After muttering to himself for a while, he looked at the motionless soldier and shouted: "What are you looking at?
Go and tell my father, just say that if he doesn't see you for a day, I won't. rise."
When Zhao Yufan woke up, the fourth prince had been demoted to a pauper by the emperor.
He didn't care about the changes in Kyoto, because what he cared about was not the fourth prince, but Xia Moer.
As long as Xia Moer was fine, he could be at ease.
Yuan Yuan and Zhang Qing were accompanying him for lunch at noon, and the Ninth Prince was busy dealing with various matters.
"Have you heard that the Ninth Prince has now taken over all matters under the jurisdiction of the Fourth Prince?"
Yuanyuan stared at Zhao Yufan and said, "It is said that the reason why the Emperor can let the Ninth Prince handle these matters is because the Ninth Prince has a close relationship with you."
When Zhao Yufan heard this, he laughed dumbly and did not make any response.
Seeing that he had no reaction, Yuanyuan curled her lips and continued: "For the sake of your good relationship with the Ninth Prince, Zhang Qing and I also plan to help him."
Frowning, Zhao Yufan glanced at the two of them, picked up his chopsticks and pinched a bamboo shoot, and grinned, "No, if you want to help me, just take care of Xia Mo'er."
Suddenly, Yuanyuan and Zhang Qing heard something unusual from Zhao Yufan's words, and they wondered whether the accident involving the fourth prince had something to do with Xia Mo'er, or maybe it had something to do with Zhao Yufan and Xia Mo'er.
Soon, the shrewd Yuanyuan discovered the clues, but he had no idea what Zhao Yufan and Xia Moer had done.
"Hey, what did you two do?"
He stared at Zhao Yufan curiously, eager to know.
This secret, "We are brothers, you can't trust me, right?"
"Because we are brothers, I won't tell you."
Zhao Yufan stood up, stretched, looked out the window with a smile, and suddenly asked: "There must be something abnormal in the army in Kyoto."
Zhang Qing knew the military better.
When he heard Zhao Yufan's question, he asked curiously, "How do you know?"
Seeing that Zhao Yufan still didn't speak, he couldn't help but guess, "How do I feel that everything is planned by you?"
Shrugging slightly, Zhao Yufan walked out and said, "How is it possible?
The fourth prince and I have no enmity."
Hearing his words, Yuan Yuan and Zhang Qing smiled bitterly at the same time.
Zhao Yufan and the fourth prince were not without enmity.
At least the fourth prince hated Zhao Yufan to death.
As night falls quietly, Kyoto becomes extremely quiet, and every household stays behind closed doors, as if something big is about to happen.
Zhao Yufan, Yuan Yuan, and Zhang Qing stood on a high tower and looked into the distance.
In front of them was the magnificent palace, and behind them was the Kyoto city gate.
From where they were, they could see almost half of the streets of Kyoto.
In the night, thick smoke rose outside Kyoto.
From a distance, it looked like a rolling black dragon.
The black dragon was getting closer and closer, and was about to approach the gate of Kyoto.
At this moment, groups of soldiers emerged from the Fourth Prince's residence.
Not only the Fourth Prince's residence, but also groups of soldiers emerged from many places in Kyoto and were gathering towards the palace.
Twelve minutes later, nearly 50,000 soldiers gathered at the four gates of the imperial city, and then launched an attack.
When they launched the attack, the gates of Kyoto were also attacked by more than 100,000 soldiers.
At the same time, fighting broke out inside the palace. .
A bloody night was just the beginning.
Under the moonlight, on top of the high tower, Zhao Yufan and the three of them stood facing the wind.
Looking at the beleaguered palace, they felt an inexplicable chill in their bodies
