Chapter 111 The father and son turned against each other, Pingyang's Prince Consort helped the Empress
"What? Aha went south with three thousand Qingqi, and the journey was like a rock. He would be able to reach Kyoto in one day at most!!!" The old emperor looked shocked.
"He...how dare he!!!"
When the old emperor said this, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
This time he was really angry, and he cursed trash several times in a row.
"Your Majesty, please invite me to go to the west." The master of Huangjue Palace said.
Xishui, it sounds nice, but under this layer of fig leaf, it means to run away quickly, otherwise it will be too late.
Not long ago, the old emperor carried out a second reorganization of the various battalions in Kyoto, clearing out a lot of empty salary quotas, and therefore sentenced a large number of people. In addition, the army left south a few days ago, and now he wants to recruit them back. It's too late.
The best thing to do is to leave.
"Xishou...Xishou..." the old emperor murmured in a low voice. He did not expect that one day he would end up like this.
"If His Majesty is unwilling to leave, a decree has been issued and the second prince, King Qin, will take over the throne. Your Majesty will abdicate and make Xian the Supreme Emperor." The Palace Master of Huangjue Palace said calmly.
It’s okay not to leave, but in order to prevent the situation in Dasong from deteriorating further due to your decision, you should give up your position.
When the old emperor heard this sentence, the first thought in his mind was of course rejection. What is the difference between this and being forced to abdicate? Once you have the power, how could you just give it up like that?
Fortunately, this was just subconscious. After recovering, he couldn't help but said with a wry smile: "This is indeed a good idea."
"No, father, the elders and younger ones are in order, not to mention that my son is still the prince and crown prince, how can he let his second brother succeed to the throne?" A vicious voice expressed his dissatisfaction.
Prince, I don’t know when I came.
"So you plan to lead your troops to fight against the barbarian chief Aha?" the old emperor asked in a serious tone.
"My son is willing to hunt for my father in the west." The prince said directly, which means that you give up your throne to me and you can leave or not. He is going to leave anyway.
This made the old emperor's face immediately turn cold.
Originally he didn't like to see this prince, but now he said this, how could he be satisfied.
"Okay, but I will pass this edict to your second brother." The old emperor finished speaking stiffly, as if he was not satisfied, and added: "And I will abolish your position as crown prince."
This means that he must pave the way for the second prince.
Without him as the crown prince, it would be logical for the second prince to ascend to the throne.
"Father, you... how could you do this?" The prince's face turned red from suppressing his emotions. It didn't make sense that he, the eldest son, was still with him even though they were both sons, but he insisted on passing the throne to others.
He didn't want to bear the responsibility of becoming an emperor, but he wanted to enjoy the power of being an emperor.
"Pack it up. You are allowed to bring your family, servants and five hundred attendants. There is still a way to survive when you leave Kyoto today." The old emperor was very disappointed with the prince.
It can only be said that he is worthy of being a puppet waste cultivated by the Wen Party. As long as he ascends the throne, he will definitely be a puppet emperor.
However, the problem now is that the Wen Party has been eliminated by him, and the one who came is Aha Chu from the Liao Kingdom. This group of barbarians and Rong Di don't talk to you about etiquette, justice and integrity at all. You can talk to them about the Donghua Gate. If the roll caller is a real man or something, the other party will just chop you with a knife.
People from outside the country don’t treat you like this.
"Don't leave. Father, you are going to exile your sons and ministers!" The prince was very angry. He thought that he was a noble man, and he was the prince and prince of the East Palace. The world was praising him for his wisdom, strength, kindness and knowledge, how could he bear this responsibility? He was so frightened by a mere barbarian chief that he fled Kyoto.
"You can think so." The old emperor was disappointed, but he couldn't bear to part with him after all. The prince had been by his side for the longest time, and he had the temper of a child. Even if something happened to him, he wouldn't be able to bear it.
The prince was stunned, he didn't expect the old emperor to be so cruel.
"Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness. Since my father said so... I can only accept the order." The prince lowered his head, hiding the hatred on his face.
This matter definitely cannot be left alone.
If you let him go, he will definitely not be able to leave. No one can take away what is his.
"Go down." The old emperor said mentally and physically exhausted.
Along the way, the prince concealed the resentment in his eyes, as if he was a pampered naughty child who failed to buy a toy.
"The prince is not angry at this time. If he leaves like this, something will happen." The palace owner of Huangjue Palace is a veteran, how could he not understand the prince's thoughts.
"Let him go." The old emperor sighed, and then said: "You secretly send the edict to the Western Regions and deliver it to the King of Qin."
"As for me, I will inform the officials and the harem to prepare for the hunt to the west."
The old emperor was helpless at this time, and Aha sent out a strong force, which he could not stop at all.
So of course he planned to escape. If he could live one more day, he would earn one more day.
Kyoto doesn't matter, the worst is to give it to Aha.
However, Ahachu did not dare to stay for long. The old emperor and others only needed to stay away from the enemy for the time being and wait until Dasong's armies reacted. If Ahachu failed to escape the encirclement in time, he would definitely be wiped out here.
He can just come back when the time comes. As for the fact that he became the Supreme Emperor when he came back, it didn't matter. King Qin's power was in the Western Regions. If he returned to Kyoto, he would have the autonomy whether he would really return the power or listen behind the scenes.
Moreover, the blame can be placed on the new emperor. The mess that follows cannot be solved and is none of his business.
The master of Huangjue Palace remained silent. He thought the old emperor was planning to die for his country, but in the end he threw all the blame away.
Even the prince was included in the plot.
I thought it was tiger poison that cannot eat its seeds, but I didn't expect that it would be used as a target.
"But if the prince forces the palace to rebel, what should your majesty do?" The master of Huangjue Palace asked a key question.
If the prince really did this, then it goes without saying that the old emperor's western hunt would definitely come to nothing.
The old emperor smiled: "The prince is mediocre. If he really has this heart, why would he not dare to resist even after falling into the hands of the Wen Party for decades?"
The Palace Master of Huangjue Palace hesitated to speak. He wanted to say that maybe it wasn't because he didn't resist, but because he was assimilated.
"Since Your Majesty has made a plan, I will go to the Western Regions to deliver the edict." The master of Huangjue Palace did not continue to exhort, but took the edict and left directly.
This time he must go in person to avoid any accidents.
After they left, the old emperor sent word for the royal guards to come in, all of whom were his die-hard loyalists.
"Go and monitor the prince. If there is any abnormal movement, capture him... No, I'll let you do it easily. You can kill him first and then report him later." A fierce light appeared in the old emperor's eyes.
If the prince were more honest, the old emperor would not interfere whether he followed him to the 'West Hunt' or fled in other directions.
Just wait until it's safe and then issue an edict to abolish the crown prince's position.
And if it was really as the Palace Master of Huangjue Palace suspected, and he was prepared to trap him in Kyoto regardless of the heights of the world, then don't blame him for being ruthless.
Paving the road is not paving the way for anyone, but the second prince has more potential than the prince.
…
"My father has given me a decree to hunt in the west." Princess Pingyang immediately came to see her consort Li Xuandao, but she was not excited at all because Li Xuandao had really guessed her.
Aha went out to lead his troops south, and the old emperor took shelter for the time being.
What will happen next is nothing more than the emptiness of Kyoto. You can imagine what will happen when Aha enters and leaves Kyoto.
Princess Pingyang, as the most favored princess, naturally wanted to follow him on the hunt to the west, and Li Xuandao, as the consort, would definitely follow.
"We can't leave, we have to stay in Kyoto." Li Xuandao gave his own reason: "I am ready, and I am 70% sure to stop Aha from leaving and let him retreat."
"Ah? Husband, when will you be ready? Then I will inform my father and let him..." Princess Pingyang looked surprised.
"No, if I inform His Majesty, then I won't be 10% sure." Li Xuandao was seizing the initiative.
Do you really think that Kyoto has no confidence in blocking Aha De? No, it's because the risk is too great. If we fight to the death, with the cooperation of all the battalions in Kyoto, we can completely defeat Aha's company and the three thousand light cavalry. However, the losses will be very heavy. When the place becomes bigger, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Essentially, it means losing face and saving honour.
"Husband, what do you... want to do?" Princess Pingyang had a bad feeling.
"Your Majesty is hunting west and will definitely give way to the second prince, King Qin, who is far away in the Western Regions."
"The prince is weak and incompetent, and he is also narrow-minded and jealous. If he knows about this and has the help of the remnants of the Wen Party, if he knows about this, he will definitely cause trouble when His Majesty is hunting west." Li Xuandao showed a smile.
"It's so secret that His Highness the Crown Prince cannot know about this matter." Princess Pingyang still had some brains and hit the key point at once, then her face suddenly changed, and then she suddenly asked: "You informed His Highness the Crown Prince! !”
"What's the benefit of doing this? There's chaos in Kyoto and we can't make it in time..." Princess Pingyang's eyes were filled with disappointment. She didn't expect Li Xuandao to do this.
At the same time, Li Xuandao's system also indicated a decrease in intimacy.
After listening to Princess Pingyang's accusation, she hurriedly wanted to report to the old emperor, but Li Xuandao said this: "Why can't women be the emperor?"
Princess Pingyang, who had just stepped out of the door, heard this and her body couldn't help but stagnate.
"I don't want my child to be just the heir, I want this child to be able to control Dasong, regardless of gender." When Li Xuandao said these words, Princess Pingyang stretched out her feet.
She was also struggling at this time.
"Husband, are you really 70% sure?" Princess Pingyang turned around and stared at Li Xuandao.
Li Xuandao's smile was still bright, and the intimacy between him and Princess Pingyang in the system was full again in an instant.
"It's 90% that I need the help of my wife." In Li Xuandao's plan, the biggest change was his princess wife. With her help and without her help, there are two completely different levels of difficulty.
