What happened in Dongling far exceeded Uncle Jiuhuang's expectations. He never thought that Dongling would become such a mess in just three months.
By driving the adult prince out of the city, condemning the former prince to death, and helping the young prince succeed to the throne, does Dongling want to destroy the country?
How foolish the emperor must be to make such a decision.
Most importantly, where do these people put him?
As the Nine Emperors Uncle of Dongling, everyone in Dongling knew how transcendent his status was. To make such an important decision while he was away, those people really didn't take him seriously.
Do you really think that he has lost control over Dongling after being out for half a year and not responding in the past three months?
Humph... Uncle Nine Emperors sneered, murderous intent suddenly appearing in his eyes.
Originally, Uncle Nine Emperors planned to take Feng Qingchen to visit Dongling Mountains and Rivers, but now he had no choice but to change his plan.
In order to rush back to Dongling as soon as possible, everyone abandoned their cars and took horses, driving day and night to Dongling Imperial City. But despite this, it still took them half a month to get to Dongling Imperial City.
Half a month is enough time for many things to happen. For example, the King of Qing and the former Crown Prince disobeyed the decree. The Emperor was furious and ordered General Xie to lead the army to forcibly take the life of the former Crown Prince, who is now the King of Jiangnan.
Fortunately, the troops and horses in the south of the Yangtze River were in the hands of the Qing king, and the Qing king was loyal enough to the prince. The Qing king led troops to fight against him. General Xie did not dare to send troops for the time being because of the Qing king's reputation. He only yelled and cursed outside the city gate to let him go.
The former prince committed suicide in compliance with the emperor's order.
Jiangnan was in turmoil, and everyone was in danger. Entry and exit were prohibited throughout Jiangnan. Officials and wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan were in panic, fearing that they would be implicated by the king of Jiangnan and the Qing Dynasty, and be regarded as an accomplice by the emperor.
Jiangnan was in turmoil and extremely unstable internally. The king of Jiangnan spent a lot of energy to temporarily suppress these people. But if the stalemate with the court continues, Jiangnan will definitely collapse from within.
Before Uncle Jiuhuang and Feng Qingchen entered the city, they received letters asking for help from King Jiangnan and King Qing. They asked Uncle Jiuhuang to find a way to get the emperor to take back the imperial edict.
If the emperor insists on not taking back the imperial edict, then the King of Jiangnan and the King of Qing will support Uncle Nine Emperors to ascend the throne, and in the name of the Qing Emperor, they will lead their troops to kill the entire imperial city...
"What do you think?" Uncle Nine Emperors put the information on the table and looked up at Feng Qingchen.
Feng Qingchen smiled bitterly: "How else can we look at it? Either the emperor has lost his mind, or the Xie family has controlled the harem and the government. The Xie family's plans are indeed not small, and they are not afraid of choking themselves to death."
Feng Qingchen thought of the letters between the Xie family and the eldest princess of Xiling, and knew that Xiling should be behind this incident.
The eldest princess of Xiling is really a character. She couldn't get any benefits from Xiling, so she stretched her hand to Dongling. She was not afraid of being chopped off if she stretched her hand too far.
"It should be the latter. No matter how stupid the emperor is, he will not make such a decision. The emperor has so many adult sons, no one wants his life, as long as the life of the former prince, it is nothing more than that he was the legitimate heir, and because
The King of the Qing Dynasty has troops. If the former crown prince does not die, the eighth prince's position will not be secure." The Xie family cannot bribe all the officials in Dongling. Those veterans, ministers, loyal ministers, and even Wang and Wen families will never allow the eighth prince.
Such a little kid got the upper hand.
When the eighth prince ascends to the throne, and there are no adult princes in the capital, the imperial power will most likely fall into the hands of the Xie family.
As for Uncle Nine Emperors?
The Xie family does not dare to touch the Nine Emperors Uncle now, and they are also testing the Nine Emperors Uncle. The Xie family's plan is not just Dongling. If the Nine Emperors Uncle makes trouble, it may be more powerful to the Xie family.
A divided Tanglin is more in the interest of some people.
Uncle Nine Emperors and Feng Qingchen exchanged some more information, and learned more about the Xie family from each other, which made them more certain that the Xie family had joined forces with Princess Xiling a long time ago.
The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, unable to sleep for a while. Feng Qingchen took out the piece of agarwood left by her mother, and then used a knife to slowly cut along the top of the slit...
This is indeed a wooden box. The reason why there are no gaps is because the Xie family used a special technique to cover the outside with a layer of wood-like material.
When he picked it out from the water, Feng Qingchen discovered that there was a crack inside the wooden box. But the wood was so hard that he couldn't open it for a while.
These days, Feng Qingchen cuts it with a knife when he has time, hoping to open it soon.
Uncle Jiuhuang wanted to help, but his physique was not close to the agarwood, and he was allergic when he was close to it. As for letting others do it, Feng Qingchen was not happy.
After all, this was something left by her mother, and she felt that it would be more sincere to do it herself.
Uncle Nine Emperors couldn't resist Feng Qingchen, so he had no choice but to let her go.
Feng Qingchen was busy with her handiwork, and Uncle Jiuhuang didn't want to disturb her. He took a book and sat on the bedside to read.
The room was silent, except for the occasional sparks from the candles, and the only sound was the clatter of the knife against the wood.
The two of them are not far apart, and they can see each other as soon as they raise their heads. Sometimes they raise their heads at the same time with a clear understanding of each other, their eyes intersect, they smile at each other, and then continue to lower their heads and do their own things.
No words, but a warm room...
I don't know how long it took, but I heard a "click" sound, and Feng Qingchen actually opened the wooden box.
"I opened it." Feng Qingchen looked surprised. He quickly put the knife on the table and went to get the contents of the wooden box. However, Feng Qingchen lost interest when he saw it: "What is this?"
"What is it?" Uncle Nine Emperors put down his hand and walked over slowly. When he saw the thing in Feng Qingchen's hand, a bright light flashed in his eyes.
Feng Qingchen caught it in time and asked: "Do you know what this is?"
Uncle Nine Emperors nodded: "Map of Kyushu."
Unexpectedly, the Lu family actually has a map of Kyushu in their hands. The Lu family is really extraordinary.
Before Feng Qingchen could ask any more questions, Uncle Jiuhuang told Feng Qingchen about the map of Jiuzhou in detail. At the same time, he also told Feng Qingchen how many maps of Jiuzhou he had in his hand. But how did he get it?
The emperor's uncle didn't say anything.
There are some maps whose origins cannot be said, such as the one at Xuanxiao Palace.
"So, there is still a piece of the Killer Alliance?" Feng Qingchen knew what Uncle Nine Emperors meant by what he said. Didn't he just ask her to get the piece of the Killer Alliance?
No problem, but: "It's up to you to see it. I want 30%." She won't do anything that doesn't benefit her.
It is only effective if all nine pieces of the Kyushu map are collected. The two pieces of her and the killer alliance are very important.
"Okay." The Nine Emperors Uncle also responded readily, as he deserved to do so.
He accounts for the majority of the Lu family's wealth. If the Lan family's wealth can be found in the previous dynasty, what's the point of preventing the Fengli family from occupying a third?
"That's it, you keep this piece, and I'll get you the piece from the Killer Alliance later." Feng Qingchen believed that Uncle Nine Emperors would not go back on his words on this matter, so he would give it to you generously.
Give him the treasure map.
Uncle Nine Emperors wanted to be on guard against her, and there were many ways to defraud the map from her. After all, she did not understand the value of the map.
Uncle Nine Emperors didn't say much, put away the map, and raised the corners of his lips slightly, showing that he was in a good mood at this time.
Xiling Tianlei's piece, Xuanxiao Palace's piece, Xuanqing Pavilion's piece, Demon Sect's piece, Third Prince's piece, plus Feng Qingchen and the Killer Alliance's piece, he has collected seven pieces of Kyushu map.
Now there are only the last two pieces left, and he believes that the last two pieces of the map will also fall into his hands...
