"Bring all the civil and military officials to the North City Wall?"
Qin Zhen did not take action immediately, but turned to look at Chen Ji.
Seeing Chen Ji nodding, he took the people away.
"Sir, do you want to reveal the hot air balloon to the public?" Princess Ninth turned to look at Jin Feng.
"I can't hide it anymore!" Jin Feng replied helplessly.
The hot air balloon went up and down several times that night. Although Eagle tried to be careful, the Bell Team reported to Jin Feng yesterday that people still saw it near Zhonglong Street and the Royal Palace.
The Ninth Princess has long said that there is an internal agent from the Eastern Barbarians in the capital. The city gate is currently blocked, and the Manchu dignitaries have been imprisoned in the Privy Council by the Ninth Princess. The news of the hot air balloon has not spread out yet.
However, the Eastern Barbarians have already begun to send people to cross the river. It is impossible for Jin Feng to block the entire Yellow River. When the Eastern Barbarians and the internal forces from the capital connect, the hot air balloon will definitely be exposed.
The trump card that the enemy doesn't know is called the trump card, and it is also the most powerful.
For example, this time, if the prince knew about the hot air balloon in advance, Jin Feng's rescue would never have gone so smoothly.
Now that the hot air balloon could no longer be hidden, Jin Feng decided to maximize its role.
Qin Zhen rushed to the north city wall with all the civil and military officials. Jin Feng, the ninth princess and the emperor had already passed by in advance.
The Ninth Princess held a telescope and was demonstrating it to the emperor.
"This telescope is very good. From such a distance, I can actually see the flag of the Eastern Barbarians clearly!"
Chen Ji's favorite thing in his life was collecting treasures and antiques, and he couldn't put it down for telescopes.
"This telescope is the best one made by my husband. I gave it to my father!"
Ninth Princess taught Chen Ji a lot yesterday, so today she needs to relax the relationship between father and daughter.
"Isn't this a betrothal gift?" Chen Ji asked with squinting eyes.
"Father, what are you talking about?" Ninth Princess blushed: "If you don't want it, forget it!"
"Who said I don't want it anymore?" Chen Ji muttered: "Don't think that I don't know about your affairs. When the Eastern Barbarians are beaten away, let this kid go back and divorce his wife quickly and prepare for the marriage!"
The Ninth Princess was very happy at first, but when she heard what Chen Ji said, her face couldn't help but darken.
She knew Jin Feng's character very well and it was impossible for her to divorce his wife.
Both of them have been avoiding this topic all this time.
After all, Chen Ji has been the emperor for so many years, and he still has the basic skills of observing words and emotions.
Seeing Princess Ninth's expression, she frowned and asked, "This guy isn't thinking about making you my concubine, is he? Let him stop thinking about it as soon as possible!"
Just when the Ninth Princess didn't know how to explain it, Qin Zhen came with all the civil and military officials.
"Your Majesty, long live the Five Emperors!"
All civil and military officials knelt on the city wall and shouted in unison.
Dakang's national power has become weaker and weaker in recent years, and the emperor Chen Ji is a coward, so there are many ministers who secretly collude with the Eastern barbarians and party members.
They all want to build a good relationship with the Eastern Barbarians and Dangxiang people, so that if one day the Eastern Barbarians or Dangxiang people occupy the Central Plains, they can continue to serve as officials and continue their family's luxurious life.
This time the Eastern Barbarians invaded the Central Plains, many ministers knew the news earlier than the emperor.
However, they did not warn the emperor. Instead, they planned to wait for the Eastern Barbarians to come. Together, they challenged the emperor and demanded that he order the disposal of the Ninth Princess.
As a result, the Ninth Princess was exposed before the Eastern Barbarians came.
Only then did the dignitaries realize that the Ninth Princess had returned to the capital a long time ago and was hidden by the emperor.
In order to make a fortune in Xichuan, many families invested a lot of money, and the people they sent were either the family's key training targets, or the direct descendants of the family head.
However, these people were all killed by the Ninth Princess, and the food was also confiscated by the Ninth Princess.
This is unacceptable to the powerful.
So this time, the dignitaries abandoned their usual party disputes and united in a rare move. They challenged the emperor in the court and demanded that the emperor hand over the nine princesses.
As a result, Chen Ji refused.
The powerful men pressed forward step by step, but Chen Ji's rebellious mentality was forced out, and he directly threatened that whoever dared to touch a finger of the Nine Dragon Pearls would be punished by the nine tribes.
How can the powerful people swallow this breath?
Several leaders discussed and decided to change to an obedient emperor.
So they found the prince, who was already ready to make a move, and implemented a plan to force him into the palace.
This plan may seem rushed, but in fact the powerful people have been preparing for it for who knows how many years.
Several powerful people not only infiltrated the Forbidden Army, but also secretly trained thousands of dead soldiers to hide in the capital.
As soon as the plan to force the palace began, the dignitaries first attacked the imperial army.
The leader Qin Peng was plotted against, Qin Zhen was led outside the city, and Qin Zhong was hanged by the prince. The entire Forbidden Army was suddenly in chaos, and both of them who were placed in the Forbidden Army by the powerful were under control.
Until the prince led people into the palace, the plan to force the palace was going very smoothly.
But who knew that just when the prince was about to capture Hongde Hall, Jin Feng led the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau to fight out and successfully rescued him.
The Forbidden Army was also regained control by Qin Zhen.
What followed was a ruthless reckoning.
Yesterday, eight of them were taken away by the Imperial Army.
Qin Zhen's second brother was hanged by the prince at the gate of the East Palace. Although his father was not dead, he was still unconscious. One can imagine Qin Zhen's attitude towards the people in the prince's party.
Those high-ranking officials usually couldn't help but have a little wrinkle in their collars, but when they were taken away from the Privy Council by the Forbidden Army, they were almost kicked out.
Walking slower means punching and kicking.
This also made the remaining civil and military officials realize that the emperor had really taken a heavy hand this time.
Those ministers who were originally prepared to attack the Ninth Princess and who were close to the dignitaries who were taken away had no intention of causing trouble for the Ninth Princess anymore. They just hoped that the liquidation would not fall on them.
With all the civil and military officials here, Chen Ji could no longer discuss the love of his children with the Ninth Princess.
He glared at her, turned to face the civil and military officials and raised his hand slightly: "Everyone loves you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Only then did all the civil and military officials stand up.
After all, the courtiers involved in the forced palace plan were only a small number. Most officials had nothing to do with the matter, so they would naturally not be afraid.
Some people were even secretly delighted.
After this liquidation, a large number of official positions will inevitably be vacated, and then they will be able to arrange their own people.
Duke Qing was among the group of people who were secretly happy.
After standing up, he raised his hands and asked, "I wonder why your Majesty called me to come to the North City Wall?"
Other ministers also raised their heads and looked at Chen Ji.
"Nothing, it's just that Mr. Jin's Zhenyuan Escort Bureau is going to behead King Zuo Xian of the Eastern Barbarians today. I want you all to come and take a look."
Chen Ji pretended to be nonchalant and said.
Since he succeeded to the throne, the Zhuhe faction has been preaching that the Eastern Barbarians, Dangxiang and Tubo cavalry are invincible.
As the Emperor of Dakang, Chen Ji naturally felt uncomfortable when he heard this, but he could not refute it.
Because Dakang’s army really couldn’t defeat the opponent.
It wasn't until Jin Feng won two battles in Qingshui Valley and Damang Slope that Chen Ji gradually straightened his back.
Those words just now were deliberately made to disgust the Lord and the sect.
Don’t you think the Eastern Barbarian cavalry are invincible?
I will show you today that you can kill King Zuo Xian who is stationed in the Eastern Barbarian camp with just a group of bodyguards without dispatching regular troops!
Seeing the surprised expressions of all the ministers, Chen Ji felt extremely comfortable.
The resentment that had been accumulated in my heart for many years suddenly came out.
If he hadn't known about the relationship between Jin Feng and the Ninth Princess, he would have wanted to reward Jin Feng with the entire Xiu Nu Palace.
Thinking of the expressions of the ministers when they saw the hot air balloon next, Chen Ji became even more excited.
