Chapter 1043 The Dingbei Army has finally arrived!

As for King Ping, the people in the city all knew his character very well and hated him deeply.

However, everyone is familiar with the princes outside the city.

After all, he grew up in the capital when the Sixth Prince had not yet been crowned king, so everyone knows what kind of person he is.

Whether it was King Ping or the Six Kings, the people did not want them to ascend the throne.

At this time, some people thought of the old prince and Master Mo of Dingbei Palace.

I don't know who spread the rumor, but it was said that the retired emperor had an agreement with the old prince that the throne of the world would be taken turns.

However, the retired emperor broke his promise and passed the throne to the current emperor when he abdicated.

Now that the emperor is seriously ill in bed, none of the princes, grandchildren, and princes are suitable to sit in that position, only the old prince and Prince Mo.

Moreover, it is now the turn of Dingbei Palace!

This news spread to every corner of the capital like a spring breeze, and everyone seemed to see the light of hope from the darkness.

The voices supporting the Dingbei Palace were growing louder and louder, and all the people in the capital were praying at home, hoping that the old prince would be able to rush back to the capital, quell the civil unrest, and ascend the throne smoothly.

King Ping had no idea that he had already lost the support of the people, and he was still trying every means to defend the capital and the position he was about to obtain.

Seeing that it was becoming increasingly difficult to defend the city, King Ping became extremely anxious.

Prince Ping was so angry that he lost his composure. He rushed directly to Xianghe Palace and forced the emperor emeritus to pass the throne to him on behalf of the emperor.

The retired emperor naturally refused to agree. In anger, Prince Ping even poisoned the retired emperor. Then he wrote an edict of succession, stamped it with the jade seals of the emperor and the retired emperor, and proclaimed himself emperor.

This action made the people in the city dissatisfied, and the six kings outside the city were even more furious. They attacked the city more fiercely, determined to break into the imperial city and pull down King Ping.

Just as the battle was raging inside and outside the city, the old prince's Dingbei Army finally arrived!

The Dingbei Army, Zheng's Army and the camp outside the capital have far outnumbered the Six Kings' Allied Forces.

What's more, the Dingbei Army had more sophisticated weapons provided by Qiao Ran, and the Zheng Army and the Jingjiao Camp had flaming oil provided by Qiao Ran and catapults hastily made in the Devil's Valley.

Under the pincer attack from three sides, the coalition forces of the six kings had no way to retreat and ended up in a disastrous defeat.

When Prince Ping in the city saw that the old prince's side had won, he became even more frightened and refused to open the city gate.

The old prince held high the secret letter and imperial edict from the retired emperor, but Prince Ping remained unmoved.

He even dared to imprison and poison the retired emperor, let alone a mere imperial edict?

Seeing that he was so stubborn, the old prince had already anticipated this and calmly ordered his men to set up camp outside the city.

But he was worried about the safety of the emperor.

Mo Beihan comforted him:

"Don't worry, Grandfather. Ran Ran has already given the Imperial Uncle Grandfather the detoxification pills and the resurrection pills. The Imperial Uncle Grandfather will be fine."

Qiao Ran also said:

"Yes, Prince Ping certainly could not have imagined that his poisons would be ineffective against my antidote pills. However, the emperor is always a problem in his hands. I am afraid he will threaten us to withdraw our troops by threatening the emperor's life. I better go to the palace again and bring the emperor out!"

The retired emperor was reluctant to leave the palace before because it would implicate them, and he also had to deal with memorials.

But now that the old prince has arrived and victory is in sight, there is no need to worry so much.

The old prince turned his gaze towards his grandson.

Mo Beihan nodded:

"Don't worry, Grandfather. Ranran and I will go together and we will definitely be able to bring the emperor out safely. Prince Ping has no bargaining chips to threaten, so we can attack the city without any worries."

The old prince also knew that this was the only effective method, so he could only nod in agreement, and did not forget to instruct:

"The palace is full of experts and is fraught with danger. You must be careful. If there is danger, you should save your own life first. Don't force it!"

"Yes, we remember it!"
