Chapter 442 Xiamie's internal strife
Chapter 442 Xia Mie - Civil War Farce
Just when Chen Nuo was preparing to go to Yuzhou.
The general trend of the world is also quietly changing in the north.
The summer capital - Handan.
This was originally the greatest city in the world, but at this moment it was just like yesterday evening, with only a few people walking on Huangdian Avenue.
Three years ago, the emperor suddenly fell ill, and the demon queen took over all the power. She tried to blackmail the prince to control the world, killing twelve important ministers in a row, and deployed troops and curfews to purge loyal ministers and generals. The entire imperial city was panicked, causing the situation that the emperor was trying to maintain collapsed. , and then, Yuan Fa, who was later praised as a great husband by the world, spoke uprightly and drank the demon away from the court. He later successfully brought the court back on track with his strong connections and political ability.
However, the consequences caused by the Demon Queen during her reign are irreversible.
The official system of the two states of Youji was out of control, which led to the inability to provide disaster relief and the rise of rebellion. Soldiers from all over the country also realized the weakness of the court. There was actually a hint of obedience in the transmission of government orders, even if Yuan Fa forced it with the prestige of the Yuan family of three generations and three ministers. After three years of suppression, the situation has reached a critical stage.
Above the magnificent palace.
The fifteen-year-old prince is sitting on the dragon throne. He has a beaded crown and a golden robe. He looks quite heroic, but the young man's eyes are very melancholy.
A little below him, Yuan Fa, who has entered middle age and has a beautiful beard, has a serious face.
"Father, what should I do if I am alone?" the prince asked.
Yuan Fa first saluted and then said, "Urgently send the general back to Beijing to suppress the rebellion."
"Okay, let's do it."
The prince said directly, not caring at all.
"Father, my mother would like to invite you to a dinner party. Can you please give me some face?" The prince looked at Yuan Fa pleadingly.
Yuan Fa frowned slightly.
In the past three years, many things have happened. Although the prince is young, he is also somewhat wise. At his request, he became the prince's father-in-law.
However, Prince Renxiao has always wanted him, the prime minister, to reconcile with the empress Shangguan in the harem.
It is naturally impossible for Yuan Fa to agree.
These ministers have not been able to see His Majesty until now because the Queen is causing trouble behind his back. As time goes by, he has become more and more suspicious that His Majesty's sudden illness may be related to the Queen.
Under such circumstances, he did not believe that the demon queen really wanted to reconcile with him, and entering the palace alone was seeking death.
As if he knew the answer, the prince shook his head and said, "My dear father, I have returned to the palace alone."
"Let's see. In a few days, we may have a banquet at Taiye Palace." Yuan Fa said somewhat unbearably.
Taiye Palace is a palace relatively outside the palace. During the reign of the late emperor, it was also used as a place to invite important ministers to build closer relationships.
The prince's eyes lit up and he nodded happily.
Seeing the prince's happy look, Yuan Fa shook his head helplessly.
Over the past three years, he has tried his best to teach the prince. Now the prince is both his student and his child in a sense, and he really can't bear it.
Moreover, perhaps this is also a breaking point. Regarding His Majesty, a result must be reached.
As soon as he thought about it in his mind, he left in a hurry.
He is very busy.
All the affairs of the two states are on his shoulders. Now that the situation is so bad, the court is actually not stable. There are political enemies, corruption, etc...
He had no choice.
soon.
A few days later.
Dinner at Taiye Palace.
Shangguan Min, who was dressed in a bright yellow robe, raised his wine bottle and saluted from a distance.
"Ye'er, thanks to the help of your father-in-law in the past few years, this foundation can be as stable as a mountain. Thank you very much, father-in-law."
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for all your hard work. I am deeply grateful."
The prince bowed obediently.
Yuan Fa turned sideways and did not accept the courtesy.
The king is the king, and the ministers are ministers, and they must not overstep their bounds.
Afterwards, the two started a hazy conversation, including political maneuvering, delaying, testing, and intrigue...
In the end, Shangguan Min was forced to go up or down.
"So, please ask the queen to let the ministers meet with your majesty!"
Yuan Fa's tiger eyes are bright and lively.
"..."
Shangguan Min looked ugly.
Snap!
Suddenly.
The wine bottle fell to the ground.
Crash.
A group of soldiers armed with swords, axes and armor broke into the palace from all directions.
Yuan Fa looked at this scene in shock, his face suddenly turned green and red.
"Witch!"
"Short-sighted!"
Shangguan Min smiled disdainfully, "I don't want to kill you. After all, this court does still need you. I just want to warn you not to try to find out what you shouldn't know!"
"Drink this and you can go."
A glass of slightly red wine was brought over by the eunuch.
Yuan Fa took the wine bottle and suddenly sneered.
"Southwest Gu Poison, I didn't expect that I, the Queen of Daxia, would dare to play with the witchcraft and poison of this small southwest tribe."
Bang!
The wine bottle exploded.
Yuan Fa looked at Shangguan Min coldly, "It seems that your Majesty has really been imprisoned by you, witch, you deserve to die!"
Accompanied by this scolding.
A large group of Imperial Guard soldiers holding sharp swords opened the door of the palace and broke in.
"You! In vain the world calls you a great husband, you dare to bribe the imperial army to rebel!" Shangguan Min was shocked and angry.
Yuan Fa glanced indifferently.
If you want to deal with traitors, villains and bitches, you must be more cunning than them!
Moreover, he did not bribe the Imperial Army.
Yuan Fa slowly bowed to the prince.
Shangguan Minru was struck by lightning and looked at his son in shock.
"Mother, don't make the same mistake again and again."
"These are my prince's six commanders. I gave the right to mobilize troops to my father-in-law."
"Zhang Ye! Do you understand what you are doing now?!"
Shangguan Min's eyes were blood red.
"You are my son! I made you the crown prince! Now you actually come with outsiders to deal with your mother? You are a rebellious and unfilial son!"
Zhang Ye shook his head, "Mother, you are never for me, you are only for yourself."
"I'm just someone who can be replaced at any time."
"Aren't Xiaojiu and the others my replacements?"
"Moreover, Queen Mother, you are so stupid. In the past three years, Xiangfu has taught me a lot and I can no longer bear the torment. Why are you always restless?"
Shangguan Min's arms shook, and then he continued to roar, "You actually trust an outsider?!"
"I am here for you..."
"Enough!"
Zhang Ye interrupted abruptly and looked at her fiercely, "Mother! Do you think no one knows about the things you put in the palace?!"
Hear the words.
Shangguan Min's face suddenly turned pale.
Yuan Fa frowned.
Sure enough, Ye'er did this because he discovered something.
In fact.
The reason why Yuan Fa made such preparations was not only that he was on guard from the beginning, but more importantly, the night before yesterday, the prince looked a little wrong, and then said something to him inexplicably and gave him the token.
That's why today's scene happened.
Now it seems that everything happened for a reason.
Shangguan Min's expression changed sharply.
Zhang Ye was excited at this moment, pointing at Shangguan Min and said emotionally, "Mother! Why are you so stupid!"
"What's in it for you? Just for that little bit of precarious power?"
"Without Xiangfu, the current court would have been long gone. Who can stabilize the situation? Is it you? Or is it your relatives?"
"Why do you always think about Dou Dou!"
"Would it be good for you if this country died?"
Shangguan Min's lips trembled, "No, it's okay. My brother said that we..."
Zhang Ye suddenly understood, and then he covered his eyes with his palms and laughed so loudly that tears flowed out.
"Hahahahaha!"
"It's actually like this..."
"Father! Father! You actually chose such a weak and incompetent person to be your queen!!"
Zhang Ye yelled, "Idiot! Trash! Idiot with his elbows turned outward!"
He couldn't figure it out.
I really can't figure it out.
Why would my mother think this way?
Doesn't she know that her dignity can only be guaranteed if her father or her son becomes the emperor?
Does she trust her brother so much?
The water thrown out by the married man!
Could it be that...
At this time, a palm covered his mouth and stopped his venting. It was Yuan Fa.
No matter what, it would be bad for his reputation if he scolded his biological mother or something.
Zhang Ye leaned on Yuan Fa helplessly, "Teacher, I miss my father so much."
"Oh, I will take you there."
Just then.
"Report!"
A guard rushed in.
"The Miyagi Army suddenly gathered and rushed towards Taiye Palace. Our people are already blocking it, but the numbers are very different. Please ask His Highness the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister to evacuate as soon as possible!"
What? !
The Miyagi Army, a team in the palace controlled by the Queen, was handed over to her eldest brother, Shangguan Wuxing.
But now that the Miyagi army suddenly gathered, it was obvious that the opponent had made a move.
"No! Brother!"
Shangguan Min looked in disbelief.
This was different from what she said, it was just to intimidate and control Yuan Fa to prevent him from exploring the emperor's affairs. Why did they suddenly gather to attack now!
"Oh, you think you are still from the Shangguan family. Have you ever thought that others think you are from the Shangguan family?"
Zhang Ye said something yin and yang.
He actually doesn't have much affection for his so-called biological mother.
Why?
If a person was raised by a wet nurse from an early age, never even drank a sip of milk from his biological mother, and rarely saw her face, and if he had many brothers and sisters, that person would not have much affection for the so-called parents, especially Is it here or the palace, the darkest place in the world!
soon.
Yuan Fa took Zhang Ye and left quickly, leaving only Shangguan Min who was protected by the swordsmen and axemen, wondering what he was thinking.
As the army that guards Miyagi City, although the Miyagi Army is a second-line force and not as good as the Imperial Guards, they still have a slight upper hand in the fight between the two despite their numerical advantage.
Especially after Shangguan Wuxing took action with the masters of the Shangguan family.
Shangguan Wuxing is a man with a white face and no beard. His eyes are dull and his figure is swift. At this moment, his whole body is burning with blood flames. With a casual shot, a large number of soldiers will die, and no one can stop him!
Bang!
A Imperial Guard captain at the Muscle and Bone Realm level was beaten to pieces and fell beside Yuan Fa and the Crown Prince. He vomited blood and said, "Guards... Peak... Run..."
After saying that, he fell down and died.
Yuan Fa took a deep breath.
The situation tonight changes a little quickly, but don't panic, he still has a backup plan!
"Prince, you follow them to the palace to see His Majesty. I will block this place."
?
Zhang Ye grabbed Yuan Fa's hand and said, "Father, how can you do this? Come with me quickly."
In his impression, although Xiangfu was not a weak scholar, he was not associated with a strong person. He said he was blocking him, so why should he block him? It's better to go with him to see his father, maybe there will be a better chance.
Yuan Fa shook his head and pushed Zhang Ye away, "Go."
After saying that, he stepped forward.
Zhang Ye looked shocked, but he didn't come back to his senses.
Just now... Xiangfu's hand was very powerful.
My level of cultivation is at its peak after all.
Subsequently.
Zhang Ye, who came to his senses, quickly left with the soldiers and went to the palace.
…
As a direct descendant of the Yuan family.
He has known many secrets of the world since he was a child.
Such as trick, such as true energy, such as reincarnation...
We also know that there are two branches of the Yuan family. One is from their lineage. They have converted to Qi and Blood Martial Arts, integrated into the secular world, and secretly provided resources for the other branch.
One branch is the other hidden branch, still practicing Zhenqi martial arts and looking for ways to fight against the envoys.
This made him clearly understand that the Yuan family was a clan with a lofty mission.
In order to achieve his goal, he had to climb up and stabilize the Yuan family's position. Only in this way could he continue to provide resources for another branch, cultivate Qi warriors, and fight against the evil envoys.
Although when he was a child, he didn't understand why he had to fight against the evil spirit, but when he grew up, he understood.
Yuan Fa took out a book from his wide sleeve robe, with two large characters written on it - "Mencius".
Yes, he majored in Mencius in his book business.
"Fish is what I want; bear's paw is also what I want. You can't have both, for you would give up the fish and take the bear's paw.
Life is what I want; righteousness is what I want.
You can't have both, you have to sacrifice your life for righteousness.
Life is what I want, and what I want is more than life, so I won’t get it; death is what I hate, and what I hate is more than the dead, so I can’t get rid of my suffering..."
He whispered the book in his mouth while walking towards the battlefield.
A burst of bloody fireworks ignited from his body.
As the young master of the Yuan family's qi and blood lineage, how could his cultivation be so bad?
"It's a pity that I just entered the viscera realm. I hope I can hold it back."
Yuan Fa set his sights outside the palace city.
He is not the only one in the Yuan clan who has a viscera realm.
"Come on, you traitor."
Shangguan Wuxing looked over with sharp eyes.
Stare into each other's eyes.
Two soaring blood flames collided in the sky, and the air waves rolled.
A large number of soldiers unconsciously made space for the two of them.
…
other side.
Under the protection of the soldiers, Zhang Ye, who rushed through the chaotic stream of eunuchs and maids fleeing for their lives, arrived at the palace and took a breather.
The bedroom is very large, with dim lights burning, and it seems a bit empty and quiet at this moment.
Come to the dragon bed.
Only a few old palace maids and old eunuchs were loyally guarding the place. Seeing that it was the prince, they got out of the way with a little hesitation.
It also allowed Zhang Ye to meet Emperor Xia Yong again after three years.
"Father?!"
Zhang Ye was so shocked that he couldn't believe his eyes.
On the dragon bed.
There was only a skinny man moaning softly.
Thin, weak, miserable.
All her hair has fallen out, her skin is pale and her eyes are bulging.
Like a zombie.
There was also a strange smell on his body, a mixture of musty and bodily fluids!
How can I be the emperor of this country?
He was clearly a dying old man who had been abused!
