Chapter 35 The emperor's daughter's decision, the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the sad farewell (4)(1/2)

"Wow!" Xiao Qinxuan burst into tears, "I don't care, I'm going to find Sister Mingkong! You are all bad guys, you lied to me! I saw her at the Lantern Festival yesterday, and she was still doing well. How could she be gone today! Wow!"
"This kid!" Mei Ruolan held Xiao Qinxuan in her arms and frowned, "That's the palace, it's not just for you to enter. We know you and Your Majesty... are good to you and Mrs. Mingkong, but now it's an extraordinary period. The palace is in chaos now, so don't make trouble!"
When Xiao Qinxuan heard this, she cried even harder. Mei Ruolan had to hug her tighter, kiss her on the back, and comforted her softly.
"How could it be so sudden?" Su Wanxin looked at Dugu Jue who had been silent all the time, and asked.
"If the woman who gave her tiger-headed doll yesterday was His Majesty, I'm afraid there is another hidden truth in it!" Su Ting thought for a while and said, "But what I care more about now is why the will has not been issued yet!"
"Your Majesty did not appoint the crown prince, and the ownership of the throne is also a big problem. I wonder if this peaceful and prosperous era that has been stable for decades is about to come to an end!" Su Wanxin sighed.
"In fact, this throne is not difficult to guess. When Your Majesty ascended the throne, the late emperor appointed eleven ministers to help His Majesty, who were not yet rich in power, and then gradually handed over the power to form a complete imperial power. Now, the ministers of Guardians go to the seventh day of the eleventh day of the eleventh day of the eleventh day of the eleventh day of the eleventh day of the eleventh day of the eleventh day of the eleventh day of the eleventh day of the eleventh day of the eleventh day of the eleventh day of the eleventh day of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the eleventh month of the eleventh month of the eleventh month of the eleventh month of the eleventh month of the eleventh month of the eleventh month of the eleventh month of the eleventh month of the eleventh month of the eleventh month of the eleventh prince, and it may be their turn to come out. The seventh prince Helian Rongruo was the most popular, and the four ministers of Guardians had publicly expressed their appreciation, so the succession of the throne was the most likely to be him." Su Ting analyzed carefully, "However, when it comes to the imperial power, it has never been the will of the people, but the point of force. As for this person who holds the power of military power... Haha, my Su family is very familiar with him!"
"That bastard, King Jingyang?" Su An slapped the table and stood up, holding his hands and paced back and forth in the room, "His grandma, if this old boy is allowed to sit on the throne, then the first thing he wants to deal with is my Su family! His grandma!"
Su Wanxin frowned and Su Ting knocked on his forehead. What Su An said was indeed a serious problem.
The three men of the Su family were at a loss. Mei Ruolan coaxed Xiao Qinxuan, who kept crying, but Su Zhi was not very changed. Although he had only met the Empress for a few times and was not familiar with him, he was still a little sad after all, but if she beat her chest and stamped her feet, she would not be able to cry to death, and it seemed too hypocritical. She looked up at Dugu Jue standing at the door, and felt that the mysterious man was getting taller and taller, as if he was covered with a thick fog, which was not real. With his relationship with the Su family, he would definitely not be able to stop him from saving him, but now he was silent. He had a very good relationship with the Empress and might know the inside story. Thinking of this, Su Zhi stood up and walked to Dugu Jue. Dugu Jue turned to see Su Zhi and smiled slightly at her.
"Young Master Dugu! Do you know something?" Su Zhi asked, "Look at my father, brother, Xiao Ting and the others are so anxious. If you know about the empress, tell us! Otherwise, you must be anxious to death!"
"Ha! You are smart!" Dugu Jue said with a smile.
"Nah! How many copper coins are needed to save our Su family this time!" Su Zhi said with a smile, just like when she first met, "This time the enemy may have thousands of troops, how about a golden ingot!"
"Haha! Still so naughty!" Dugu Jue laughed.
The people around him naturally heard the conversation between the two, and they all stretched their ears to listen, fearing that something would be missed. Dugu Jue's smile wiped out all the haze in everyone's heart. Dugu Jue had an extraordinary relationship with the empress, and he was not a heartless person. He could still laugh out loud at this time, but I was afraid that there was something else in it.
"Young Master Dugu, you should tell me! Don't swear!" Su Zhi said coquettishly.
Dugu Jue turned around and entered the house. The Su family looked at him. Even Xiao Qinxuan, who was crying constantly, stopped crying and was choked, with a little sobbing, her pear blossoms were raining, her eyes were red, and she stared at herself firmly.
"Wait!" Dugu Juezhi said a word, and the Su family was even more confused. Dugu Jue continued, "There are signs of will, but there are two, and there are also oral instructions, but they belong to the previous emperor."
"Please trouble Mr. Dugu to explain!" Su Ting said, "These few words really cannot solve the urgent needs of the Su family!"
"The third young master doesn't need to worry. Although I am not a powerful person, I can still ensure that the Su family can do it. Even if the Jingyang King's army is approaching, there is no need to worry." Dugu Jue continued, "Let's talk about this oral order of the late emperor first! You should all know that the late emperor died and the internal suppression of the royal family!"
"Well, naturally I know that the Le family's royal family has been basically massacred. It is said that it was a bloody method used by His Majesty the Empress to consolidate the imperial power." Su Ting thought for a while and said.
"Actually not!" Dugu Jue said.
"It turns out to be so!" Su Ting suddenly realized and continued, "I just said that the succession of His Majesty the Queen is a big mistake in the world. The massacre of the Le family is even more inhumane. It is impossible to do such a thing without even standing firm in the throne. Therefore, that order came from the late emperor himself!"
"The third young master is indeed smart!" Dugu Jue nodded, "Mingkong once told me that the reason why the late emperor issued that order was because he had already realized the corruption of the Le family from the inside out. If the Le family held the imperial power, the prosperous Tang Dynasty would be in danger. First, to prevent the country from destroying the family, and second, to consolidate Mingkong's throne and avoid worries, the late emperor issued that order."
When the Su family heard this shocking secret, they were so shocked that they couldn't stop talking.
"Then King Jingyang?" Su Wanxin asked.
"King Jingyang was only a few years old at that time. He was the youngest prince of the Le family royal family. He was on that list. Mingkong felt unbearable, so he asked the late emperor to let him go. Therefore, he became the only prince of the Le family. Perhaps because he felt that he was indebted to the Le family, Mingkong handed over the military and political power to him." Dugu Jue said slowly, "And the predecessor just now was that if King Jingyang was worthy of great use, Mingkong could choose to pass the throne to King Jingyang, otherwise, kill him to eliminate future troubles!"
"To be fair, King Jingyang has achieved remarkable achievements in military and political affairs, and he does have the ability to govern the world. If he doesn't mention his conspiracy with the Su family and the evil cultivator to harm the young girl in Huaji!" Su Ting said coldly.
"For so many years, although Her Majesty the Empress brought peace and prosperity, the charge of harming the Le royal family fell on her. Although King Jingyang did not know the reason, this hatred for extermination must be revenged. It is normal for him to rebel! However, even though he was a benefactor, he has become an irreconcilable enemy. He really did not know the reason for this. He was a genius. He was very experienced and it was easy to start from other aspects when looking at things.
"Then what happened to these two wills? Dugu Young Master!" Su Zhi said.
"Well, which will issue the will depends on what King Jingyang will do next! One will, the one who inherited the throne, is King Jingyang, and the other will be the Seventh Prince Helian Rongruo!" Dugu Jue said.
"So that's it! That's why Dugu Young Master said he needed to wait! So it depends on whether King Jingyang has the qualifications of a 'king'! The empress loves the people as a son, and will definitely not let the wars continue in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the people are displaced. There must be some arrangements. Since the empress has already arranged everything, we can only wait and see what changes are." Su Ting nodded.
The tense nerves of the Su family finally relaxed. No matter which of the two imperial edicts was issued, the Su family could rest assured. If the imperial edict of King Jingyang ascended the throne was issued, it proved that he had the potential to become the king, and naturally he would not make a big fuss because of the Su family. Even if he was really cautious and insisted on eliminating the Su family, there were three cultivators, Dugu Jue, Butterfly, and Su An, who had three cultivators, who had the existence of Dugu Jue, Butterfly, and Su An, who had to consider whether he could eat it. If the seventh prince succeeded to the throne, King Jingyang would definitely have a different body and head, which would solve the major troubles of the Su family, and the Su family could maintain peace.
The focus of adults is naturally different from that of children. Adults are considering family safety, but Xiao Qinxuan is not the case. She noticed something sharply and hurriedly broke free from Mei Ruolan's arms, ran to Dugu Jue, pulled his clothes and tears in the corners of her eyes, "Dugu, is the sissister Mingkong not dead!"
Dugu Jue touched Xiao Qinxuan's head docilely, squatted down, wiped his tears, and shook his head, "You have a chance to meet again in the future. I heard that if you cry too much, your eyes will be blind. Then you will not be able to see your Master Mingkong. How regretful it would be, she would be sad!"
"She is not dead, right?" Xiao Qinxuan seemed a little unbelievable and insisted on getting the exact answer from Dugu Jue.
"No!" Dugu Jue said affirmatively.
"Mom! I mean the flight attendant is fine! Wow!" Xiao Qinxuan said and threw herself into Mei Ruolan's arms and started crying.
Everyone laughed, it turned out that it was just a game.

As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day. What is afraid of is chaos in the world. Although the will has not been promulgated, various functional departments are operating in an orderly manner and there is no chaos. In fact, this is all due to the empress's enlightened policy. As long as the appropriate people are arranged to the appropriate position, they will play the greatest role and do not need to be personally responsible. With the lessons of the previous emperor's overwork, the empress will naturally not repeat the same mistakes.
Such a painful but stable time lasted only seven days, and a major news hit everyone's hearts. King Jingyang rebelled and was unstoppable, leading to more than ten cities. Now he is at the city and camped ten miles outside the imperial capital. As long as the imperial capital defenders open the city and surrender, they can seize the imperial capital in one fell swoop, and the throne is within reach.
That night, King Jingyang and his son Le Yi climbed up to the top and looked at the imperial capital.
"Father, we are only one step away from getting back our country and country!" Le Yi could not hide the joy in his heart and almost wanted to scream.
"Well, so close, but so far away! That bitch destroyed my royal family for the sake of the throne. I have been surviving for so many years to this day, in order to grab back what should belong to my Le clan!" King Jingyang sighed, "Everyone only knows that I am the Queen of King Jingyang, do you remember that I was Prince Leye of the previous dynasty! Hahaha! I almost forgot what I am called!"
"Father, now we are strong and powerful. If we attack the city now, we will definitely be sure to win. The imperial guards cannot stop the iron hoof of our Le family. Why do we only siege and not attack?" Le Yi asked.
"Yi'er! You will inherit my royal family from the Le family in the future. How do you view the problem? It's still so superficial!" Le Yi hurriedly accused of the crime. King Jingyang snorted coldly, a little disappointed with Le Yi. "Emperors of all dynasties have their own offerings. They are ordered to protect the imperial city. Even if they are cultivators, they cannot interfere in human affairs at will, but it can be an exception to involve the safety of the imperial city. Once the emperor dies, the old worshiper will leave. When the new emperor succeeds, they will recruit new worshipers. Now that bitch has been dead for only seven days and has not yet been mourned, the three old things may still remain in the imperial city. If we attack rashly, we will be hurt by ourselves! The Le family cavalry that I have accumulated for more than ten years is not to be ruined here casually!"
"Then...what should we do!" Le Yi asked with courage.
"I have recruited my own offerings, which are even more powerful than the old demon Fengyue. Calculate the time, and it should be here tonight!" King Jingyang said.
Before he finished speaking, five lights and shadows passed through the dark night and rushed towards King Jingyang.
"Protect the prince!" An guard immediately rushed out of the darkness and surrounded the two of them.
The light and shadows came very quickly and soon fell not far in front of King Jingyang. Five monks wearing white cloaks and white masks came.
"Everything comes back!" King Jingyang waved his hand, and the guards hid in the darkness again.
"Several immortals are the divine envoys of the 'Moon Worshiping Sect'!" King Jingyang asked.
"That is, we five envoys come to help the prince with his help and get the king back the king's deserving power!" said one of the men in white.
"Then the little king thanked the leader first! Thanked the gods!"
"Prince, how good is the cultivation level of the worship in the imperial capital?" asked the man in white.
"According to the list sent by the Cultivation Realm, these three people are all in the Nascent Soul stage cultivation level! The Fengyue Zhenren said the same thing before!"
"Hmph, Feng Yue Zhenren is just a stray dog that everyone in the cultivation world calls for and beats!" Another monk in white sneered.
"But it's just the Nascent Soul Stage, the leader is really too safe. We are all at the peak of the Divine Travel Period, and one of the Divine Envoys is only one step away from advancing to the Mahayana stage. It's easy to crush those three people!" The man in white smiled, "Your Majesty, don't forget what you promised our leader after the matter is done!"
"Don't worry, a few gods, once I take the throne, I will issue an imperial edict, establish the Moon Worshiping Cult as the national religion, and allow you to accept disciples!" King Jingyang replied.
"Well, it's good that the prince remembers it in his heart! Prince, when will he attack!" the man in white asked again.
"Tomorrow morning!"
At the same time, in the camp of the imperial capital, several men in black walked through the night, touched the officers' tents, used hidden weapons to turn off the lights, took the opportunity to enter the tent, raised their swords, took the head of the officer's neck, and then lit the tent, and escaped in the chaos.
The fires of the defending camp soared into the sky, and the chaos was extremely chaotic!
The next morning, the morning light was bright and the sky was clear. King Jingyang felt that today was an auspicious day to ascend the throne. The Le family army was already waiting in front of the Imperial Capital. A row of heads hung on the walls of the Imperial Capital, all of which were the city guards who were assassinated last night.
At this moment, the defenders were already frightened. The prosperous Tang Dynasty had been peaceful for a long time, and the real combat power were the border defense troops from east, west, south and north, all of which had been on the battlefield and experienced life and death. The troops in the city only knew how to eat, drink, gamble all day long, and were all indifferent, afraid that they would not even be able to take weapons. Now, letting them fight with elite teachers and death is tantamount to hitting stones with eggs. Last night, the generals of the defenders were assassinated, and their heads were hung high above the city wall, which had already scared these greedy and fearful death.
The prosperous Tang Dynasty was strong, but there were many countries waiting for an opportunity to devour this lion, so the four border defense forces would not be easily mobilized, and these generals also had their own rights. Even if the dynasty was changed, they might not care. They only wanted this world, not a certain ruler. Therefore, the Le family iron hoof could take back the Le family's territory as long as they stepped through this city.
One of the people from the King of Jingyang's army came out, ready to surrender. Unexpectedly, before he opened his mouth, the closed city gate had already opened. It was these defenders who threw away their armor and surrendered. A large group of people knelt on the side of the moat, which was very spectacular.
King Jingyang glanced contemptuously, waved his hand, and a team of people rushed into the city immediately, climbed up the city wall, and investigated everywhere to confirm whether it was safe and whether there was an ambush.
"Yi'er, I'll arrange for people to imprison the defenders. Now I'm not in a position to kill. When I settle down, I will execute all these wastes! What's the use of keeping such wastes!" King Jingyang said to Le Yi behind him, and was extremely disgusted with those who surrendered.
"My son accepts the order!" As he said that, Le Yi arranged for people to take the surrendered troops down and imprison them.
Someone rode a horse and rushed from the city. It was the person who went to investigate. The man rode a horse and ran a few feet away from the front of King Jingyang and quickly dismounted and reported.
"Report to the prince, the city has been investigated clearly and there is no ambush!" the spy replied.
"Enter the city!" King Jingyang waved his hand, and the army set off and headed towards the imperial capital.
"I didn't expect that the imperial capital would be taken down without any effort, without any bloodshed!" Le Yi smiled.
"I know the best of the valiant troops of the Imperial Capital City. However, over the years, I have been secretly weakening their strength and building them into a bunch of waste that can't do anything. If the Imperial Commander had not been firmly in the hands of that bitch, I would not have been able to penetrate. The Imperial Capital City would have opened the city gate long ago and presented it with both hands." King Jingyang said calmly. In fact, he has been paving the way for himself in recent years, otherwise how could he have been unobstructed and attacked the foot of the Imperial City in a few days.
King Jingyang's men passed through the gate and entered the Wengcheng. His troops stood on the walls of Wengcheng. The flags on the walls had been changed to the word "le". Even King Jingyang, who is a man with a deep inner-minded state, could not help but feel passionate in his heart.
There was a loud "boom" sound, and the city gate behind him suddenly closed, leaving King Jingyang's men and horses. The large group of men was locked outside the door, and they were constantly slamming the door, and there were only a hundred people in the city.
A flying sword broke through the air, and the Lejia Army on the city walls were all in different places, and the Lejia Army chess was also cut off one after another.
More than a hundred people, the Le family army was calm and unhappy. They raised their shields, set up spears, opened their bows, pulled strings and arrows, and protected King Jingyang in it.
"These three immortals are still in the city, so I feel it's a bit too easy!" King Jingyang sneered, as if everything was as expected, and there was not much surprise.
Heavy footsteps sounded above the urn city. In less than a moment, archers were already covered with archers, and the bows and arrows were aimed at the Lejia Army in the urn city.
"Uncle Le, long time no see!" The seventh prince Helian Rongruo appeared on the city wall.
"Nephew Rong Ruo, I am so flattered to welcome the emperor with such a big battle!" King Jingyang smiled. The conversation between the two was plain, as if it was just a greeting between the uncle and nephew, and there was no feeling of tension.
"Uncle Emperor, my nephew advises you, if you surrender, I will beg you to death. I will protect your bloodline of the Le family, and you will still be the royal family!" Helian Rongruo said lightly.
"Ha! You, a junior, dare to be so arrogant. However, a person with a foreign surname, who does not even have a surname Helian, dares to persuade me to surrender?" King Jingyang sneered, "This world has always been from my royal family. The Helian bitch charmed the last emperor, stealing the country, and slaughtering my people. I am deeply resentful of blood. Now I am just taking back what belongs to me. I am just right and have a master. What qualifications do you have to make a point? Instead, I want to persuade you, if you surrender, I think you are a person with a foreign surname, and I will not make any embarrassment with you! I won't make any move for me!"
To be continued...
