Chapter 317: We are ready to fight to the death, why does Your Highness surrender? !

Thousands of elite soldiers from the Eastern Palace and Prince Qi's Palace have already marched to the outside of the Xuanwu Gate.

Xue Wanche, with his bare chest, beat the drum vigorously to cheer on the soldiers who were attacking the city gate.

Emotions were brewing, and after knocking a few times, a loud noise was heard, "The prince is coming out~~~"

He turned around in surprise and looked towards the top of the city wall. It was indeed the Crown Prince and the King of Qi.

For a moment, the soldiers who were about to attack the city were at a loss.

"I'm fine."

Li Jiancheng shouted to the people below the city, "I am only here with my brothers to attend a banquet with my father. What are you doing?"

General Feng Li of the Eastern Palace rode forward and responded loudly, "We heard that the Crown Prince was ambushed, so we came to rescue him."

He dismounted and saluted Li Jiancheng on the top of the city wall, "Please come out, Prince."

The soldiers shouted, "Please come out, Prince~~~"

It was obvious that they thought the prince was being held hostage.

"I'll be out soon." Li Jiancheng glanced at Chen Ran who was not far away from him, and continued to shout outside the city, "Father has an imperial edict, announce it to the world~~~"

The noise was getting louder and louder at this time, and thousands of people had gathered inside and outside the Xuanwu Gate.

There were also many people who heard the news and rushed over.

Pei Ji coughed, walked forward and leaned against the parapet, opened the edict and read it aloud.

The first edict was to announce that Crown Prince Li Jiancheng had voluntarily given up the position of Crown Prince and that Prince of Qin Li Shimin was made the Crown Prince instead.

As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers and horses of the East Palace and Prince Qi's Palace outside the city were in an uproar.

Shirtless Xue Wanche roared, "I don't believe it, this is fake! The prince must have been held hostage and coerced!"

The soldiers shouted in unison and were about to fall into chaos.

Li Jiancheng was very happy to see that his people were so loyal.

Although their personalities have changed and they have become more friendly and respectful to each other, they are still not willing to give up everything.

He was emotionally agitated and was about to say something when Chen Ran spoke quietly beside him, "Think carefully before you speak, or I'll kick you out."

The wall of Xuanwu Gate is 48 feet high, which is nearly 15 meters high.

It’s better to forget about falling from such a height.

"I sincerely want to give up the position of Crown Prince." Li Jiancheng responded with a stern face, "I have been inspired to practice Taoism and seek immortality. I have put aside all worldly affairs. You should just work hard for the court. No need to say more!"

"Ouch?!" Li Yuanji was suddenly kicked and looked at Chen Ran in confusion, "Why did you kick me?"

"Don't stand there stupidly." Chen Ran gestured outside the city, "Let the people in Prince Qi's mansion rest assured."

Li Yuanji muttered a few words, but when he saw Chen Ran clenching the ceremonial sword, his heart suddenly tightened. He hurriedly stepped forward and stood beside the prince. He loudly called out to the soldiers of the Prince of Qi's mansion outside, saying that he also wanted to follow his elder brother to practice Taoism, and that everyone would continue to serve the court in the future.

The military generals all knew that the Crown Prince and the King of Qi must have been coerced.

Their wealth, honor, life and property were all tied to the Crown Prince and the King of Qi, and now they were desperately mobilizing their troops to continue fighting.

But the soldiers didn't think so.

Being a soldier is just their job, and wealth and glory have nothing to do with them.

Now that the Crown Prince and the King of Qi have personally expressed their stance, continuing the fighting would be tantamount to rebellion.

Rebellion under such circumstances would inevitably implicate the family, which naturally would be something they would not want to do.

When there was chaos outside the city, Chen Ran signaled Pei Ji to continue reading the second edict.

The second edict was even more explosive.

The emperor actually abdicated and became the emperor emeritus, and passed the throne to the King of Qin!
In other words, the brothers' fight that lasted for several years ended with the Qin King's faction winning a great victory!
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji didn't want to give up everything, but Chen Ran was right next to them, and they would definitely be killed if they didn't obey.

Li Yuan was also unwilling to abdicate and become the emperor emeritus, but Yuchi Jingde and others were right beside him. If he dared to oppose them, he would probably be stabbed to death.

They really had no choice but to watch things gradually become a fait accompli.

"King of Qin." Chen Ran called to Li Erfeng, "Although the ceremony has not yet been carried out, at least now you have the status of a righteous man. Proclaim the imperial edict."

Li Er's expression at this moment was very complicated.

It was supposed to be a life-and-death fight, but because of the intrusion of this weirdo, it turned out to be what it is now.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the result was good for me.

Yuchi Jingde didn't understand and kept asking, "What edict is being announced?"

"Of course it's the imperial edict to pardon the soldiers of the Eastern Palace and Prince Qi's Mansion outside."

"Only in this way can we completely destroy the morale of the army."

Li Erfeng looked at him in surprise, "This man actually knows military tactics?"

At this moment, he became more and more curious about Chen Ran who suddenly appeared.

But we still have to do the right thing first.

Li Erfeng announced to everyone that she would use herself as a guarantee and that everything that happened today would be forgiven!

It doesn’t really matter whether someone is pardoned or not, even the emperor’s edict doesn’t matter.

What was really fatal was that Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and Prince of Qi Li Yuanji personally expressed their willingness to give up everything, which was the heaviest blow.

To describe the mood of the East Palace and the generals of the Qi Palace at this time in one sentence, it is
"I am ready to fight to the death, why did Your Highness surrender first!"

Li Erfeng acted decisively and swiftly. Even though Chen Ran, a huge threat, was right beside him, he kept issuing orders without caring and arranged for his confidants to take over various dangerous places in Chang'an City.

When the soldiers outside gradually dispersed, the most critical moment would come.

It was understandable that Li Erfeng threw herself in front of Li Yuan to pay her respects, and cried out in tears, "Father, I am an unfilial son." This was a performance she did purely for the sake of fame.

In fact, ever since Li Yuan abandoned Li Erfeng, who had worked hard and made great contributions, and made Li Jiancheng the crown prince, the father and son had been estranged.

Li Erfeng knew clearly that Li Yuan was reluctant to give up his power and even began to support Li Jiancheng to suppress himself.

Not letting Li Yuan die of a sudden illness at this time was already a great act of filial piety.

After the performance, Li Erfeng sincerely expressed, "I respectfully request that the emperor move to Hongyi Palace."

The so-called Hongyi Palace is the Da'an Palace.

Located in a remote area outside the city, the mountain and forest scenery is quiet and peaceful.

Originally, this place was built by Li Yuan for Li Erfeng, with the original intention of imprisoning her here for the rest of her life after she lost power.

Li Erfeng knew this very well.

Now that he was in control of the situation, the first thing he did was to send his father to be imprisoned in Hongyi Palace.

There are countless cases in history of fathers and sons killing each other, and brothers killing each other in order to fight for the throne.

Zhao Erdu took an axe and killed Zhao Da.

Like Li Erfeng, he did not let him die of a sudden illness, or commit suicide by being shot by dozens of arrows. He even gave him the title of emperor emeritus and a palace to live in. He can truly be called merciful.

As for those who slander Li Erfeng, it is essentially no different from slandering Zulong.

Li Yuan, with an expressionless face, was silent for a moment, but looked at Chen Ran.

He actually wanted to say to Chen Ran, "As long as you help me, you can get wealth and honor!"

Chen Ran understood what he meant and said with a smile, "I heard that the Hongyi Palace has beautiful scenery. The emperor can live there peacefully in his old age."

The last hope was shattered, and Li Yuan's expression darkened visibly.

He looked at the ministers again.

"I have treated you well in the past, giving you various rewards and titles as if they were free. Now at this critical moment, who will stand up and speak a fair word for me?"

Pei Ji, Chen Shuda and others were all smart people and naturally understood that things were irreversible.

After all, the soldiers from the Prince of Qin's palace have already entered the palace. It is useless to say anything now unless the Prince of Qin can be subdued.

Can.
Seeing everyone bowing their heads, Li Yuan had the urge to curse.

"What is the Emperor waiting for!?"

Yuchi Jingde roared impatiently, which frightened him so much that he trembled suddenly.

As if he was aware of his own gaffe, and as if he recalled the heroic spirit of his youth, Li Yuan walked towards the stairs with a dark face.

The most critical moment has arrived. Li Erfeng said to Chen Ran very straightforwardly, "I'm going to do something."

"Then go." Chen Ran smiled casually, "Don't worry about your two brothers. I will take them to Qinling to seek the truth."

Hearing this, Li Erfeng finally showed a look of surprise, "Aren't you afraid that I will send people to hunt you down?"

"Not really." Chen Ran simply shook his head. "You want to go down in history as the greatest emperor of all time. You shouldn't do something that will give people a reason to criticize you."

There is one more thing I didn't say, 'If you really do this, I will fight back even if I fail the mission, and make you a meteor in the history of the emperors!'

After being stunned for a moment, Li Erfeng raised his head and laughed.

"it is good!"

He looked at Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and bowed, "Big brother, third brother. You can focus on seeking the truth. I will take care of the people in the mansion!"

After saying that, he walked down the stairs without looking back and went down the city wall.

From then on, Li Erfeng got rid of the threat posed by Chen Ran and returned to his own group of soldiers in the Qin Palace.

If you want to have a falling out, you can do it now.

Chen Ran watched Li Erfeng leave, then called out to Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, "Let's go."

"We really have to go to Qinling." Li Yuanji was obviously unwilling. "Only wild people would live in that kind of place."

"No one will disturb you there, so it's convenient for you to seek the true path."

Chen Ran greeted with a smile, "I will make your name go down in history."

Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly, "He is just a deposed prince. Who knows when he will disappear without a trace. He is indeed a name that will be recorded in history, but it is just a stupid name."

He was also depressed that he had lost his position as crown prince.

"I never lie to men." Chen Ran looked at the reward and said, "I will keep my word!"

'Li Jiancheng's modification has been completed, and the reward is now issued.'

'Note: A bag of corn seeds will be distributed (excellent variety, resistant to insects, diseases and lodging, genetically improved variety with excellent quality.)'

'Li Yuanji's modification has been completed, and rewards are now being issued.'

'Note: A bag of cotton seeds will be distributed (excellent varieties, resistant to insects, diseases and lodging, genetically improved varieties with excellent quality.)'

In short, the rewarded seed genes can be passed down from generation to generation without any degradation in seed quality.

Needless to say, corn is a high-yield crop. For the ancients who never had enough food, it was definitely a good thing.

Although cotton was introduced hundreds of years ago, it has never been truly cultivated and has only been treated as an ornamental plant.

The rewarded seeds can produce cotton that can be spun into cloth, and its effectiveness is no less than that of corn.

Chen Ran has no interest in false fame.

"The merit of going deep into the mountains and old forests and finding the divine seeds for the people of the world with great difficulty will be claimed by you two brothers."
