This is the simplest and most labor-saving method. Only when they die can Princess Yongan have the chance to ascend to the throne. Moreover, doing so is in line with humanity and will not cause a backlash from humanity. After all, Princess Yongan is the destiny of humanity.

As we all know, those two are just pawns in the vanguard of the king.

If he attacks them, Su Ming will at most be hit by their luck, which is easier to bear than the backlash of human luck.

Moreover, there are currently only three direct royal bloodlines in the entire capital: the Crown Prince, Prince Qi and Princess Yong'an. If the Crown Prince and Prince Qi both die, there will be only one direct royal bloodline in the capital, Princess Yong'an, and the other princes are far away in their fiefdoms.

It is impossible to return to the capital in a short time.

In the past hundred years of history, there has been a female emperor in the royal family. However, the emperor of that generation was special. All the children he gave birth to were princesses, and he refused to adopt his brothers, so he created a female emperor.

Fortunately, the transition of imperial power was smooth and there was no trouble. The system of the Zhou Dynasty was there. As long as the emperor did not mess around and knew the art of imperial balance, it was enough.

Therefore, if there is a precedent, the courtiers will not be too opposed to supporting a female emperor.

Moreover, this matter is not only good for Su Ming, but also good for Empress Chen. After all, Princess Yong'an is also her biological child. Since the two most powerful heirs to the throne, King Qi and the Crown Prince, are gone, let her daughter ascend to the throne.

Of course she would like it.

However, for Su Ming, the most important thing now is to find out the plans of the Crown Prince and King Qi as soon as possible.

After leaving Xiuyu Palace, Su Ming still did not show up, but secretly returned to the Xuanjing Division. Now the Xuanjing Division has become his private residence, and even if there are spies from all sides, he is still the main one.

After issuing the order to monitor the King of Qi and the Crown Prince, Su Ming activated the demonic thoughts distributed in Shangjing City and ordered them to find out the news.

In three days, the ownership of the throne will be decided.

As all businesses in the capital languished and a national mourning was held, the atmosphere in the city became increasingly tense. Both the Qi royal party and the princelings were holding back their vigour. However, after the death of Emperor Shenwu, the emperor's party hidden among the courtiers, most of them

They threw themselves into the service of King Qi, and only a small part surrendered to the prince.

However, one advantage Li Xian had over Qi King Li Nian was that he could sit in the palace and coordinate the affairs. Although he could not completely control the palace guards, he could win over quite a few people.

Prince Qi's Mansion.

Above the hall, Li Nian was sitting upright in mourning clothes, and below him were his close ministers. At this point, there was nothing to hide. Both sides were showing off their horses, and it was up to them to see who could move faster.

Li Nian glanced at the ministers with a majestic gaze that made people feel heavy pressure, "Are everyone outside the city ready?"

"Your Highness, the generals of the Forbidden Army are ready. When the time comes, they will enter the city to suppress the rebellion and avenge the late emperor." A military general stood up and said in a deep voice.

After the words fell, the one who was leaning towards King Qi among the four cabinet ministers stood up and said, "The late emperor passed away without any reason and without any warning. It must have been the prince who secretly poisoned the late emperor. Such people are regicides and patricide."

, how can you ascend to Dabao and take charge of the divine weapon!"

"I am waiting to avenge the late emperor!" Then, the officials shouted angrily in unison.

Seeing this momentum, Li Nian nodded imperceptibly. In fact, he also had doubts about the old emperor's death. After all, the old guy's death was so sudden that everyone was caught off guard.

Their father was a wise man and had deep calculations. How could he die like this? Not only did he feel ridiculous, but even the ministers also thought the same.

And if we want to take action, the one with the greatest motive is Li Xian. As long as the old guy dies, he will naturally take over.

Although Li Nian also hated him and wanted him to die, the longer he delayed, the more favorable the situation became for him, so he decided that the one who did it was his good brother.

Therefore, after learning the news of the old guy's death, he immediately sent someone to contact the Forbidden Army stationed outside the city.

Over the years, with the tacit approval of the old emperor, he had laid many secrets not only in the court, but also in the army. Even though he knew that some of them were from the old emperor, he still did it because he knew that this

It's his only advantage.

As the crown prince and the next heir, his eldest brother did not dare and could not touch the military power at all. If he touched even a little bit, he would suffer. Therefore, his eldest brother had always been cautious, for fear of violating the old emperor's taboo.

Compared with the prince, he is much better. He has been wooing military generals and noble forces to compete with Li Xian. This is the old emperor's deliberate indulgence. Of course, this degree is definitely within his control.

But now that the old emperor is dead, the situation has changed. Most of the prince's subordinates are civil servants, and most of the people under his command are military generals and nobles. This has become his greatest confidence in fighting for the throne, and it is also the reason why he can stand tall in the court.

One of the reasons for the collapse.

······

Wenyuan Hall.

Prince Li Xian also convened the same meeting with his subordinates, but only two days later, the wrinkles on Li Xian's face became more dense, his brows were full of fatigue, and he looked several years older.

.

"Your Highness, the King of Qi is ambitious and may be suspected of rebellion. Your Highness must be on guard. Please immediately dispatch the palace guards to confine the King of Qi and isolate the inside and outside." An old minister stood up and advised,

"The King of Qi has always liked to get involved with those military generals and nobles, and the King of Qi has always been interested in becoming a powerful person. If we wait for him to rebel, I am afraid that the capital will become a river of blood. Your Highness, please think twice."

"What the ministers said is absolutely true. However, my father's body is still cold. If I immediately imprison King Qi, if word gets out, I'm afraid the world will be in an uproar and rumors will spread." Li Xian's expression did not change, and he shook his head slightly, denying their suggestion.

Admonish.

"Your Highness, think again. The King of Qi is very ambitious. If he is not stopped, the army will be in chaos and the country will be worried. Now there are rebellions all over the Zhou Dynasty. If Your Highness cannot cut through the mess quickly, how will we deal with it when it happens?

Of?"

"This matter is definitely not feasible. King Qi's rebellion has not been revealed. If the news leaks out, it will force King Qi to rebel in advance. When the time comes, the capital will be in chaos and the spirit of the late emperor will be disturbed. Can you afford it?" A minister stood up.

Stop drinking.

······

For a time, the ministers in the palace were in an uproar. Some proposed to trick King Qi into the palace and kill him, some suggested to ambush King Qi when he succeeded to the throne, and some suggested to stand still and strengthen the alert.

There are all kinds of comments.

Li Xian sat on the throne, very tired. In fact, he didn't know what they said?

Although many of the palace guards have now taken refuge with him, it is still unclear how many of them can be believed. He has already sent people to contact the imperial troops stationed outside the city, but there is no news yet.

In the past, the people he had buried in the Forbidden Army had long been purged by the old emperor, which led to the embarrassing situation that no one could use him now, and no one dared to use him.

At this point, the shortcomings of the old emperor's clinging to military power gradually became apparent.

Thinking of this, he secretly resented that the old emperor died too quickly and did not even have time to hand over the military power to him. Otherwise, how could he end up in such a situation?

If he had the military power, he would definitely imprison the King of Qi as soon as possible. Having fought with him for many years, he knew that the King of Qi was not someone who just waited to be killed, and he would definitely rebel.

Although he didn't pay attention to the advice of the ministers, Li Xian still remained calm and showed an open mind to accept the advice. He didn't have much power to win over now. Before the secret plan on King Qi's side was activated,

, he has limited chess pieces, so he naturally does not dare to neglect his officials.

······

As the news of Emperor Shenwu's death spread, the whole world rebelled.

At the same time, not only was the internal turmoil of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the borders of the Great Zhou Dynasty also began to become unstable.

In the northwest prairie, the old shaman was watching the sky at night. Suddenly he saw the crape myrtle falling and the emperor's star fluttering.

The situation of fragmentation is just the time for me, the prairie man, to invade the Central Plains."

After saying that, he laughed three times and passed away with a smile on his face.

At night, the tribes by the lake were singing and dancing, with bright bonfires.

Inside the golden tent, young Tuogu Khan sat on the throne, his face full of excitement.

In the sweat tent, dancers wearing light gauze swayed and seduced people with their seductive dance moves, which made the prairie men present unable to stop. They all looked like they wanted to eat people, and they wanted to swallow them.

.

After receiving the message from the old shaman, Tuogu Khan was overjoyed and quickly summoned the leaders of each tribe to prepare for an attack on the Central Plains.

Everyone here is the leader of the major tribes on the grassland. They are all tall and tall, exuding a fierce temperament and high morale. They have been waiting for this day for a long time.

By their generation, the blooming flowers of the Central Plains had already come to mind from their parents' statements when they were children. They dreamed of taking over the Central Plains, reviving the former glory of the Tatars, and turning the entire world into their pasture.

The sheep was roasting on the bonfire, and the golden grease fell on the bonfire, making a "puff" and "puff" sound. Tuogu Khan's eyes swept over the tribal leaders, not paying any attention to their greedy and enthusiastic eyes.

"Everyone, the old emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty has died. I heard that they are still fighting among themselves and are very weak. As the eagle of the grassland, what should we do?"

"Come into the Central Plains, fight into the Central Plains!"

······

The shouts grew louder and louder, and the herdsmen outside the golden tent also cheered when they heard the high-pitched voice. Tonight is a carnival on the grassland!

······

Southern Xinjiang, one hundred thousand mountains.

"Emperor Shenwu of the Great Zhou Dynasty is dead, and the old covenant is abolished!" An ancient and loud voice shook the sky and reached the ears of every people in southern Xinjiang.

Hearing this sound, many elderly people seemed to think of fearful things, their bodies kept shaking, they were so shocked that they could not speak, and some even died on the spot.

As the sound fell, a group of beasts swarmed out of the ancient and vast mountains, rushing straight out of the Hundred Thousand Mountains and into the southern borderland.

The people living on the border between Southern Xinjiang and Shiwandashan suddenly suffered a disaster. The battle between Bloodless Blood and the Inner Demon almost destroyed the entire Southern Xinjiang. Now that the beast tide has emerged, they have no way to survive at all.

His figure was immediately buried in the tide of beasts, unable to make any waves.

At this time, the Demonic Cult monks who were in charge of southern Xinjiang just looked at it from a distance and then withdrew their gaze. What does the life and death of ordinary people have to do with these monks?

As long as they don't go too far, these monks from the Immortal Cultivation Sect will not care. The Hundred Thousand Mountains have just been unsealed, and it is the time when they need to drink blood. If they are not fed, not only Nan will lose.

Territory.

As the tide of beasts came out of the mountain, the entire Southern Border turned into a hell on earth. Villages and cities were instantly reduced to ruins under the stampede of the beast tide, and all the people in them became the food of the beasts.

During this period, some casual cultivators took action with hatred, but were killed without even being able to hold on to each other.
