Chapter 1638: Undercurrents in Fengliang City

The ministers who followed the eldest prince persuaded him.

These ministers were afraid.

Originally, they chose to follow the eldest prince, and there was also a gamble. They used to be very close to the eldest prince. Once the eldest prince ascended the throne, they would naturally get a lot of benefits. But if the eldest prince was deposed, their previous operations would be in vain, and they would be excluded by the new nobles. Therefore, they really hoped that the eldest prince could regain the throne.

What's more, they didn't believe the edict of the previous emperor mentioned by Guan Fei. Not to mention that they didn't believe it, most of the other ministers in the court didn't believe it either. It's just that those people were not close to the eldest prince, and who became the emperor didn't have much impact on those people, so those people didn't have to take risks.

But they were different. They had interests involved with the eldest prince, so they naturally wanted to gamble, so they followed the eldest prince.

Originally, their preparations were enough to find out the truth and let the eldest prince regain the throne, but they didn't expect that they would fall into Guan Fei's trap, which made everyone panic.

Guan Fei dared to change the last emperor's will, so how could he not dare to attack them?

This is impossible!

So, they didn't think Guan Fei was joking, Guan Fei really dared to kill them!

They were scared, really scared.

Now they can only surrender obediently to save their lives. As long as their lives can be saved, there will be room for future things. If their lives are gone, everything will be gone.

The eldest prince listened to the ministers' words, his face changed again, and he finally made a choice.

"Guan Fei, you win!" The eldest prince stared at Guan Fei with a gloomy face and said, "I won't resist, but you are not qualified to interrogate me, only the new emperor is qualified!"

After all, the eldest prince is a prince, and this matter also involves the serious crime of "rebellion". No minister is qualified to judge, and it can only be judged by the emperor.

The new emperor is just a child. In fact, the relationship between the eldest prince and the eighth prince was very good before, so the eldest prince was confident that he could let the eighth prince, that is, the new emperor, release him and set him free.

As for what will happen after he is free, we will consider it later.

However, when Guan Fei heard the words of the eldest prince, he sneered in his heart.

New emperor?

The new emperor must listen to me too!

Do you think you can get away by letting the new emperor interrogate you?

Dream on!

Not only you, but the other princes, none of them will get away safely. I will eliminate them one by one!

In order to consolidate his position, Guan Fei has made up his mind to eliminate the other princes except the eighth prince one by one. He will not let go of any of these potential threats!

"Take them away!" Guan Fei ignored the eldest prince and gave the order coldly.

After that, the eldest prince and the ministers and guards who followed him were taken away by the guards.

This news soon spread throughout the palace, and the ministers in Fengliang City also received the news one after another.

After hearing the news, people had different reactions, some were shocked, some were angry, some were terrified, some were confused, and so on.

Although people had different reactions to this incident, through this incident, everyone understood a truth, or confirmed a fact:

Now in the court of Xiufeng Kingdom, Guan Fei has the final say!

Anyone who opposes Guan Fei, even if he is a prince, will be imprisoned!

Faced with this situation, the ministers of Xiufeng Kingdom are in danger. At the same time, they are also considering their future choices. Undercurrents are surging in Fengliang City.

Guan Fei didn't care too much about this. In his opinion, he has already controlled Fengliang City and even the military power of Xiufeng Country. Even if other people have any ideas, it will be useless. He is not afraid at all.

Guan Fei's mind is now on supporting the Eighth Prince to ascend the throne. No one can stop the Eighth Prince from ascending the throne, but Guan Fei still has to worry about a series of ceremonies.

The surrounding countries have already known about the movement of Xiufeng Country. Although Xiufeng Country is a small country, it is a major event to change the emperor after all, and people from other countries must pay attention to it.

However, no one is ready to make a fuss about this matter for the time being. Other countries, especially those big countries, have their own things to do at this time and have no time to take care of Xiufeng Country's affairs. This allows Xiufeng Country to have conditions for a smooth transition.

Of course, Guan Fei was not idle in addition to preparing for the Eighth Prince's enthronement ceremony. He had asked people to publicize the previous ambush and assassination of Zhao Qi by the people of Shuiyue Country. This news has spread to other surrounding countries, especially Tianji Country and Yanfeng Country, which are close to the monsoon.

These two countries are the protagonists of this matter, so they are naturally more concerned about this matter. As for their reaction, Guan Fei is very curious, but he doesn't know yet.

Bang!

In the palace of Yanfeng Kingdom, the old emperor was angry. He pushed all the things on the face table to the ground. In the whole room, there was only his heavy breathing. Apart from him, there was no other sound.

"Shuiyue Kingdom, do you really think that our Yanfeng Kingdom is easy to bully? I wish I could send troops to attack you immediately!" The old emperor roared.

The relationship between Yanfeng Kingdom and Shuiyue Kingdom was not good to begin with. There had been many conflicts before. The old emperor decided to marry Tianji Kingdom. In addition to self-protection, he also wanted to take advantage of Shuiyue Kingdom.

The old emperor had actually predicted that Shuiyue would make a fuss about the marriage, but when it really happened, the old emperor still couldn't stop being angry.

He already felt sorry for his daughter in the matter of marriage, but now the people of Shuiyue wanted to ambush and kill his daughter, which made the old emperor very angry. If possible, he really wanted to attack Shuiyue right now to vent his anger for his beloved daughter.

Unfortunately, reality did not allow him to be so "willful". The current situation of Yanfeng Kingdom did not allow him to send troops to attack Shuiyue Kingdom immediately, so he could only be angry in his imperial study at this time.

"Fortunately, I have already arranged for Shao Hao to lead a large group of imperial guards to escort Qi'er, otherwise, the people of Shuiyue Country would have succeeded." The old emperor said to himself: "But, what about the secret help mentioned in Shao Haogang's letter? Who is secretly protecting Qi'er, why don't I know?"

The old emperor now knows about the wedding procession, which was sent back by Shao Haogang through the air messenger, and it was sent back before arriving in Fengliang City.
