The princess has no moral principles, why did you provoke her?

Chapter 170 Let Leng Jiuyuan Become the Emperor

The Empress Dowager ordered people to invite the two imperial uncles in Beijing, one was Prince Xiaoyao Leng Mingche, and the other was Prince Yongan Leng Fengming.

The two uncles entered the Cining Palace and clasped their fists, saying, "Greetings, Her Majesty the Empress Dowager!"

Chu Linlang's eyes were filled with tears: "We are all family, there is no need for you two uncles to be so polite. The national treasury was robbed, and the emperor could not bear the blow and passed away unexpectedly.

I am deeply saddened, but the country cannot remain without a ruler for a single day, so I invite the two uncles to come and discuss together and choose a prince with both virtue and ability to inherit the throne."

King Xiaoyao never interfered in court affairs, but he still understood the character of each prince.

He said, "Sister-in-law, I think Old Nine is quite good. He is a man of both civil and military talents, and is a true war god of the Eastern Qin State.

He is decisive and efficient in his work, and is well-suited to be an emperor.

The other princes were demoted or imprisoned, but the Sixth Prince, Leng Muchen, was intelligent and wise, but his ambition was too great, making it difficult to understand.

Prince Yongan thought for a moment and said: "The emperor has no son, so there is no one to inherit the throne. I can only look for one among my brothers.

This prince also thinks that the ninth son is suitable, and since he is a legitimate son, his achievements are unmatched."

The Empress Dowager was very pleased with what they said, so she let them speak.

Chu Linlang sighed, "Jiuyuan only wants to travel and enjoy the scenery. He doesn't even attend court on weekdays. If I ask him to focus on managing the government, will he agree?"

King Xiaoyao smiled and said, "As the son of the late emperor, this is his responsibility. If we allow a tyrant to rule, then Dong Qin will be doomed."

The Queen Mother nodded slightly. "What the two uncles said makes sense, but how should we explain this matter? What if others disagree?"

"If anyone disobeys, kill them immediately. There's no point in keeping them alive. First, hold a funeral for the emperor and then announce the new emperor tomorrow."

The three of them discussed...

Chen Wangfu

The Sixth Prince Leng Muchen was sitting in the study with a few people sitting beside him.

There were General Xiao Tianzuo, the Minister of Rites Liu Bingqian, the Governor of the Nine Gates Guan Zhong, and the military advisor Zhou Daochang.

Taoist Zhou narrowed his eyes and kept counting on his fingers, while the others remained silent.

After a long moment, he opened his eyes, which were filled with sinister intent. "Your Highness, there will be some obstacles in this operation. As long as we overcome them, we will succeed and sit on the throne."

The Nine Gates Commander asked again, "Master Zhou, we are going there to force the emperor to abdicate, how confident are you?

We've put our entire family's wealth and lives on the line. One wrong move could mean the end of everything, and we might even lose our heads."

Taoist Zhou stroked his goatee and said, "Don't worry, don't think too much.

Now we are only one step away from the throne, if we rush in, we will be successful."

As the Sixth Prince listened to their argument, he imagined himself wearing a dragon robe, sitting on a nine-dragon red gold throne, and being worshipped by all the officials.

He said in a deep voice: "Stop arguing, General Xiao, take this king's token and leave the city.

"Move the 20,000 men from the Jingbei camp and storm the palace directly, claiming there's rebellion and searching for the rebels."

"Yes!"

Commander-in-Chief of the Nine Gates, take the patrol battalion to the palace gate."

"Yes!"

"The emperor has passed away, and I must enter the palace! Military Advisor, you arrange the other details."

Taoist Zhou clasped his fists and said, "Sixth Prince, please bring more people with you, just in case."

Leng Muchen had a cold face, as if he was facing a great enemy.

They discussed it for a while before going their separate ways.

An Wu and his men had already reached the city gate and produced the regent's token. "All officers and men, listen up! Close the city gates and do not allow anyone to enter."

General Xu, who was guarding the gate, was once a subordinate of Leng Jiuyuan. Later, when there was a shortage of generals to guard the city, he was assigned here.

He knew the prince's personality and was well aware that a palace coup was going to happen.

"Anwu, this general will definitely guard the city gate!"

The rest of the people went up to the city wall.

Not long after, some people came from a distance.

General Xu pointed forward and said, "Judging from their attire, they're from the Jingbei camp. There are over 20,000 of them, and it looks like they've all gone out."

Anwu said to Anliu, "Send the princess! Go to the palace and tell the master that the Sixth Prince's Jingbei camp has rebelled."

In a blink of an eye, General Xiao and his 20,000 soldiers were at the gate of the city.

A soldier shouted, "Open the city gates! General Xiao has been ordered to enter the city!"

General Xu said, "The Regent has ordered that no one is allowed to enter!"

Xiao Tianzuo was furious: "Look, this is the Sixth Prince's token. You even dare to disobey the Sixth Prince. We must enter the palace to protect him!"

An Wu said, "Anyone who brings troops into the palace at this time is plotting rebellion. No one is allowed to enter."

General Xiao was so angry that he said, "How dare you! If you don't open the gate, we will attack the city."

Ye Qingyan appeared on the city wall at some point.

Her face was full of disdain: “General Xiao, you know that if you attack the city, you will die.

This princess advises you to turn back when you stray, as good will never prevail over evil."

"Princess Regent, how can a woman like you take charge of state affairs? Go back immediately."

Ye Qingyan smiled, "If you retreat, I will really return to the palace. Your life and death is now in your hands."

Xiao Tianzuo knew that the Regent was already in the palace, and there were not many people in his palace.

He thought for a moment and gave the order: "Attack the city!"

Then, someone brought a ladder and someone pushed a sharp weapon.

Ye Qingyan said, "Since you want to die, this princess will grant your wish.

Come here, the Jingbei camp is plotting rebellion, throw a bomb! "

The secret guards took out bombs from their backpacks and came to the city wall.

Ye Qingyan stepped back and finally entered the space in a deserted place.

The secret guards took the bomb, pulled open the iron ring, and threw it directly towards the Jingbei camp.

Only a few loud "boom" sounds were heard, and the bombs exploded in the Jingbei camp, making a deafening sound, and the earth shook.

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky and thick smoke billowed, instantly enveloping the entire camp.

The shockwave of the explosion swept across everything, throwing soldiers into the air, limbs shattered, blood splattered everywhere, screams and shouts intertwined.

This was a combustible bomb, and the flames burned everything combustible, turning the area where the Jingbei camp was located into a sea of ​​fire.

At the center of the explosion, a huge crater was formed and the surrounding land was charred.

Shrapnel flew everywhere, sweeping towards the soldiers and swallowing everything around them.

An Wu collected the bombs from the other secret guards and jumped off the city wall.

He jumped into the middle of the people, pulled open the iron ring, threw it, and ran away.

"Boom!" Another area was blown down.

The people behind were frightened and ran back quickly, and were completely defeated.

Ye Qingyan left the space and waved her hand, and dozens of bombs appeared.

"Anwu, these are enough."

"Enough!" The secret guards laughed happily...
