Chapter 1291, The Battle for the Suzaku Kingdoms Throne (1)
The Suzaku Emperor passed away. No matter why she died, this was not something that the common people and most of the courtiers could know.
In addition to the way the Suzaku Emperor died and the experience that she experienced after her death, which can be said to have brought shame to the royal family, King Feng secretly executed the four new favorites, two eunuchs, and the guard commander, and then secretly took the body of the Suzaku Emperor.
He transported it back to the Imperial Mansion, and then announced to the outside world that Emperor Suzaku died of heart palpitations due to overwork.
The Phoenix King and the Suzaku Emperor had seized power for so long, and now the opportunity has come, but the problem has also arisen. The Suzaku Emperor died suddenly, and there was no imperial edict to pass on the throne.
Good guys, now all the princes and princesses have a chance to inherit the throne.
Maybe everyone thinks they have hope, but opportunities are rare and anyone can give it a try.
As a result, princes and princesses from all over the country rushed to Beijing on the pretext of attending the funeral.
It's not like Feng Wang never thought of ascending the throne before the princes and children arrived, but it didn't work. Firstly, it was against the rules. Secondly, not only Feng Wang and the princess were present in the capital, but there were also seventeen princes and other princes' children.
Of course, these are not the main reasons, but that the trump card in King Feng's hand, an army of one person alive or dead, was silently destroyed by some bastard.
Because King Feng had the ace card of an army of one living and one dead, he had been very arrogant in the capital since returning to the capital. He was disrespectful to the Suzaku Emperor and the courtiers. She never thought that she had to rely on the ministers of the court. She only felt that
Everyone should be afraid of her.
Now that the trump card is gone, although others still don't know about it, King Feng himself has become weak. He has retreated when facing the ministers in the court, and he has lost the self-centeredness he once had when facing his brothers and sisters.
The courtiers are so smart, especially some veterans. Looking at Feng Wang's sudden attitude and behavior, some of them have made guesses in their hearts.
Therefore, after the death of Emperor Suzaku, although Princess Feng immediately took control of the palace, she could not immediately control the court, especially those veteran ministers who had a particularly important voice.
What's more, although Qi Dong has never controlled the aristocratic families in the capital or the courtiers in the court, Qi Dong practices evil arts and will always use methods that only benefit himself but harm others, to some extent to those around him.
people were affected.
The courtiers are all quite irritable without realizing it, and a group of civil servants can get into fights after a few disagreements;
It's really pinching. I pull your clothes and you kick me, even pulling out your hair.
Qi Bao'er and Patriarch Xuanqing were also suffering from convulsions these days while they were waiting for Yuchi and others. People who used to be too lazy to go to court when they were ministers in Qilin Kingdom actually arrived at Zhuque on time every day these days.
Early morning in the country.
Take a look, the fight started again below, the division of labor is quite clear, civilian officials fight with civilian officials, and military generals fight with military generals.
None of them were gentle. One of them, an old bachelor, was pushed to the ground by a young official. He clutched his lower back and groaned in pain.
On the beams of the roof, Qi Bao'er and Patriarch Xuan Qing jumped over the wall with a large cup of Buddha in their hands. They ate and commented while holding the big cup with their legs crossed.
Ancestor Xuanqing took an abalone in one mouthful and said, "This old guy is the most devilish. He has fallen several times."
Qi Bao'er took a closer look. It wasn't her fault that she couldn't remember people, but that the veterans below liked to use that trick. They were all very clever at making noises, but whenever they wanted to make a move, they would compete with each other.
One falls faster, and the other runs faster when going down.
What can I say about the current situation in the Suzaku Kingdom? It is very pessimistic. Without a capable emperor, the country will be completely doomed.
Real internal and external troubles.
First of all, the first question is food.
The Suzaku Kingdom originally focused on minerals because of its low land production and grain production. The main source of grain was to purchase gold and silver dug from the mines from surrounding small countries;
In other words, whoever controls this purchasing channel can take control of the initiative;
In the past, Feng Wang had never paid attention to this. She seemed to have a serious problem in her mind. She really thought that with an army of hundreds of thousands of people alive and dead, she could be invincible. She could do whatever she wanted and wanted whatever she wanted;
What is even more tragic is that these are not in the hands of the Suzaku Emperor, and of course they are not in the hands of Qi Dong, but in the hands of the group of people who are currently fighting in the court;
That is, in the hands of noble families and powerful people;
There are quite a few officials in the court who are afraid of her, or afraid of the life and death of an army in her hands, but it can be said that there are only a few who are truly convinced and support her;
Each aristocratic family has someone they really want to support, such as the great bachelor who fell down just now and screamed ouch, he is the eleventh prince's direct uncle;
Now the Phoenix King is unjust and unjust, and he has lost the strength he once had. It is obvious that he has become weak without fighting. Although he does not know the reason, everyone can guess that the Phoenix King only became strong by relying on one person to survive and die.
, her confidence was low. Apart from the fact that there was a problem with the army of one person alive and one person dead, they really couldn't think of any other reason;
Everyone wants to strive for the power of the dragon and help the person they support to go up;
But no one can guarantee whether there is really a problem with the army of living and dead people in the hands of King Feng. It is clear that it is a hagua when facing King Feng, so the following scene happened, in one word - drag
, dragging the person behind them back to Beijing to plan;
If you want to earn that position, you must hold on to the things in your hands, such as food, weapons/weapons, money, etc.;
When everyone did this, King Feng had no way to get food, so no one sold food on the market. Emperor Suzaku died in less than five days, and even many people in the capital had no food to eat.
Already;
King Feng would put pressure on the courtiers every day when he went to court, asking the grain stores under their names or the names of their families to open warehouses and sell grains. This was the intention of these courtiers to close the stores and not sell grains, so naturally they were unwilling to do so.
So the daily pilgrimage became what it is now.
Let’s talk about the second issue, civil unrest.
The source is still food. Not only are the food stores in the capital of various aristocratic families closed, but almost all of them across the country are closed. Then the people will have no food to eat. If this is not chaos, how can there be chaos?
What's more, the people of the Suzaku Kingdom have brain problems after being tortured by Qidong's Dragon God Cult. Now it is said that rebellions and armies have suddenly risen in many places, and it has only been five days;
In the past, when this kind of thing happened, the Chu family army would suppress it, but now the Chu family army was wiped out by the Suzaku royal family. King Feng wanted to send military generals from the court to suppress it, and the military generals pushed and pushed them around.
The fight started.
Eating the soft and fragrant Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, Patriarch Xuanqing was very puzzled, "How could such a big country be in such trouble?"
Qi Baoer was silent, and after a few breaths he uttered one word: "Zuo."
Well, if the Suzaku Kingdom didn't have the ambition to annex the Qilin Kingdom, it wouldn't have done that series of things that were harmful to others, including filling in its own country first.
The Suzaku Country has a low food production, but several small countries around it are food-producing countries, because it needs the protection of the Suzaku Country and is also dependent on it. The Suzaku Country has never been short of food, so why did it end up like this?
