The reason why the emperor did this was not because he was not afraid of being ousted from the throne, but because he had no choice but to do so because the entire Beili army was divided into three factions.
Originally, only one part obeyed the emperor's orders, while the other part only obeyed King Langya.
But now most of the people who listen to the emperor listen to the Red King. The emperor's own manpower is already insufficient. Once sent out, King Langya's faction can easily control the country.
Therefore, the soldiers of King Langya's faction must be sent out to fight. This is the emperor's idea.
However, now that King Langya's son has disappeared, the only one who wants to mobilize the country's military power is Xiao Chuhe. After all, Xiao Chuhe was from the lineage of King Langya back then.
If it weren't for this, the extremely suspicious emperor would definitely not have established a prince as long as he was still breathing.
After all, with the prince, he would immediately ascend to the throne as soon as he died. He was worried that Xiao Chuhe would kill him to avenge King Langya. Although this possibility was very low, what if?
But now he has no choice but to let Xiao Chuhe judge.
Not to mention, after Xiao Se was named the crown prince, General Ye Xiaoying immediately summoned the old troops of King Langya on the prince's order, and together with various soldiers and horses went to suppress the Red King's rebellion.
However, as soon as they led the army to leave, Gu Jianxian arrived at Tianqi City. He slashed down the gate tower of Tianqi City with one sword, and then headed towards the palace.
No one could stop him along the way. Several eunuchs in the palace seemed to be blind as they watched Luo Qingyang break into the imperial city.
Fortunately, Gu Jianxian did not kill the emperor, but only brought Concubine Xuan out. Otherwise, Beili would have been in chaos.
Of course Wang Yue knew what happened in the palace, but he did not go to stop Gu Jianxian because Wu Xin stood in front of him.
He promised that as long as Wu Xin broke the formation, he would take Wu Xin as his disciple. Now that Wu Xin is here, of course he cannot break his promise.
Although Wang Yue knew in his heart that Wu Xin wanted to take this opportunity to let Gu Jianxian take his mother out of the palace, he still acquiesced in the matter.
Because Wang Yue knew in his heart that as long as Concubine Xuan was still in the palace, it would be difficult for the Red King to die. Even if he was caught for rebelling, he would probably be demoted to a commoner at most.
But if Concubine Xuan ran away with a man, it would be equivalent to trampling the emperor's face into the dust, and the emperor would definitely not be able to bear it.
In fact, this was indeed the case. Wang Yue officially accepted his disciple here and was in a good mood. The emperor in the palace vomited a mouthful of blood when he found out that Concubine Xuan had left with someone.
After vomiting blood, the others were still conscious and announced a message in public, that is, to demote the Red King to a commoner and expel him from the royal family tree.
The desolate army that was out on the field was originally a little overwhelmed by the attack of the Red King and the Nanjue Allied Forces. However, after the emperor's decree to demote the Red King to a commoner came, a mutiny broke out in the Red King's army that night. More than ten thousand soldiers watched.
With no hope of the Red King ascending the throne, he simply rebelled again.
Xiao Se seized this opportunity and led Langya's army to attack. The Red King was routed for hundreds of miles. If Prince Nanjue hadn't led the troops to rescue him, the Red King would have been captured and brought back to Kyoto for trial.
But even so, several of the cities that Nanjue had just captured were taken back.
But at this time, we were not far from the border of Nanjue, and it was difficult for the deserted army to advance for a while, and the situation became so deadlocked.
Just at this time, news came from Tianqi that the emperor suddenly died suddenly. Xiao Se had to rush back to receive the throne. He could only let Ye Xiaoying take charge of the overall situation, and then rushed to Kyoto with Lei Wujie and others worriedly.
He did not go to the palace immediately, but to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. After meeting Wang Yue, he immediately asked excitedly,
"Master, why don't you save my father?"
Wang Yue looked at Xiao Se who was suppressing his anger, but said cruelly, "Former Imperial Master Qi Tianchen has a palace token, and he can enter the palace without an imperial edict, but I don't have one, do you know why?
You don’t know why your father is on guard against me, right? Why should I save such a person?”
Xiao Se was speechless after hearing this. Wang Yue's entry into the palace could easily be characterized as treason. Even if he cured the emperor, his merits and demerits would at best be offset. He immediately asked, "When the Lone Sword Immortal came to the imperial city
, Master, why didn’t you stop me?”
"Senior brother, it's because I begged Master not to stop Gu Jianxian from taking Concubine Xuan away!"
Wuxin's voice suddenly came over. He was still dressed in white, still bald, and his eyes were as pure as when they first met.
Xiao Se turned to look at Wu Xin and asked incomprehensively, "Why?"
Wuxin looked at Xiao Se seriously and said word by word, "Because Concubine Xuan is my mother, she has been trapped in the imperial city for a long time, and it's time to go out for a walk.
Moreover, if she didn't leave, my half-brother, King Chi, might still have a chance to make a comeback. Now that Concubine Xuanxuan, the Lone Sword Fairy, is gone, King Chi's biggest support is gone. That's why you won so easily.
.”
After hearing this, Xiao Se calmed down. He knew that it was wrong for him to come to Wang Yue to lose his temper because of his father's death, so he bowed to Wang Yue and said, "Master, I didn't think about it for a while, please don't blame me!"
Wang Yue waved his hand and said indifferently, "I'm just your master. I don't owe you anything. Just go!"
After hearing this, Xiao Se immediately knelt on the spot and said excitedly, "Master, I was wrong. Once you are a master, you will always be a father. Master, please don't drive me away. My mother died early, and my father died again."
I just lost you, if you don’t want me anymore, I really don’t know how to deal with myself.”
The reason why he came to Wang Yue to lose his temper was because he recognized Wang Yue as his relative. Although he matured early, there were times when he lost control of his emotions. He could only lose control when facing his relatives.
mood.
Wang Yue saw Xiao Se's sincerity, but remained unmoved. He said indifferently, "Hurry up and be your emperor. Don't bother me if you have nothing to do!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing the rift between master and apprentice, Hua Jin quickly persuaded, "Xiao Se, you go about your business first, I will persuade your master."
When Xiao Se saw Hua Jin say this, he felt a little embarrassed and said, "Master, Master, I don't want to be the emperor!"
Wang Yue turned around and walked into the house. As he walked, he said casually, "That's your business!"
Hua Jin didn't say anything more and followed Wang Yue into the main hall of the Imperial Master's Mansion.
Seeing Wang Yue's determination, Xiao Se left the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion dejectedly and entered the palace to start dealing with his father's funeral.
After he left, Hua Jin asked with some embarrassment, "Husband, are you really not going to take care of Xiao Se?"
Wang Yue nodded and said indifferently, "It won't affect the national destiny, it won't affect us, and I won't participate."
Hua Jin smiled and said, "I don't believe it. He is in danger. You must be soft-hearted!"
…
Because of the emergency at the border, all steps were accelerated, and the time that originally took 7,749 days was reduced to seven days.
Then the body of the late emperor was sent to the imperial mausoleum, and the five eunuchs who followed the late emperor were also sent to the imperial mausoleum to accompany him.
Logically speaking, Xiao Se should have elected the new five eunuchs, but he did not do so immediately. Instead, he wrote an edict of abdication and summoned King Langya to the capital.
He couldn't even wait for King Langya to arrive, so he asked Lan Yuehou to supervise the country and rushed back to the border. The news of his Zen position also spread to the border.
The border officers already knew that Xiao Se had passed the throne to King Langya, which made the Langya army more willing to fight, more murderous, and more fearless of death.
The remaining armies of Prince Nanjue and King Chi were beaten back and forth, and they quickly retreated to Nanjue territory, thus stabilizing the situation.
At this moment, Xiao Se's Tianzhan Sword suddenly flew out on its own and headed south, killing dozens of people from the Nanjue royal family. Even the Prince of Nanjue died under the flying sword.
The death of the royal family caused chaos in Nanjue. Xiao Se knew that the opportunity must not be lost and he took advantage of the situation to attack. He broke through the defense line of Nanjue border troops in one fell swoop and went straight to the imperial capital of Nanjue, forcing Nanjue to surrender. The world was unified with great reputation.
Of course, this sword was not made by Wang Yue, but by Wu Xin. After he became Wang Yue's apprentice, he also got some of Wang Yue's true stories.
He felt that the two countries were fighting back and forth, and those who died were the sons and daughters of the common people. It would be better to kill the emperor, and there would be no war.
Of course, Wuxin also wanted to help his junior brother. He was very optimistic about Xiao Se and Lei Wujie.
Unfortunately, the only flaw in this war was that the Red King escaped after retreating to the Southern Battle, and no one knew where he went.
After Xiao Se won the war, he thought it was Wang Yue's help, which made him very happy. He felt that his master had forgiven him, so he happily returned to the court and took the Nanjue nobles and ministers to Tianqi City.
He did this in order to free the upper echelons of Nanjue from controlling the people and make it easier for the people to integrate into Beili. He was even ready to let go and return to the fields.
What he didn't expect was that when he returned to Tianqi, he found that King Langya had visited Kyoto and left an imperial edict to abdicate.
The edict passed the throne to Xiao Chuhe, and then King Langya took his cronies and continued to be his own pirate king.
After Xiao Se heard this result, he turned around and left angrily. He wanted to go to the sea to find that guy out.
But just as he turned around, Lan Yuehou came to him and said very seriously, "I know that all of you cousins here don't want to be emperor, but someone must sit on this throne. Before solving this problem, you
Not allowed to leave."
After Xiao Se heard this, he immediately said, "Uncle Emperor, how about I give you the throne?"
It has to be said that for a moment, Lan Yuehou was moved. After all, he could feel that neither King Langya nor Xiao Chuhe was interested in the throne that everyone coveted.
But reason told him that if he accepted the throne, he would probably die.
Not only will Langya's army kill him, but Xiao Chuhe's master will also kill him.
