After the news of Liangzhou's rebellion came, the Gongun princes did not fight in the Zichen Palace after all.
After all, the three men sitting in the hall eating melon are living people, not real clay sculptures.
Although Lu Shengdao and Granny Nianci never interfered in the struggle for the throne, when the country was in crisis, they had an excuse to join forces with Xie Wanqing. Once they controlled the dragon's energy with the four treasure seals, under the deterrence of the dragon's energy,
Any dissent in the country will be suppressed.
Taking advantage of the power of the Three Dukes, Xie Wanqing directly declared on the spot that Long Qi could not leave the capital when the throne was vacant, and directly declared the Great Sima as his official position, with the front, left, right, and rear as generals in all directions, conquering the north, conquering the west, conquering the south, and conquering the south.
General Dongsi Zheng, a total of eight imperial generals as deputy officers, led five thousand intermediate-level Shinto heavenly soldiers to immediately set off to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion.
When the emperor's throne was vacant, it was true that Long Qi could not leave the capital. Xie Wanqing asked Da Sima, the chief military officer, to go and quell the rebellion. It was a well-known and justified thing.
So under the uncomprehending gaze of the three princes, Da Sima had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept the order, leaving the center of the capital in the critical month before the new emperor ascended the throne.
Da Sima's departure from the capital meant that no matter whether he could quell the rebellion and come back within a month, the sixth prince would have no chance of being crowned king.
Once he leads the army on an expedition, his sister and nephew will be isolated and helpless in the capital, and he cannot guarantee their safety at all.
Of course, Xie Wanqing is a sophisticated person. In order to make Da Sima peacefully put down the rebellion, she did not defect when facing Qian Junru, or run away with her sword in fear.
After retiring from the court, Xie Wanqing took her daughter to have a secret talk with Grand Sima. The two women promised, witnessed by Long Qi and Sangong, that no matter whether Ji Xuanhuang could ascend the throne and become emperor, they would not kill him.
The Queen Mother and the Sixth Prince.
Even as long as the rebellion is successfully suppressed, Fan Haiyi can continue to hold the post of Grand Sima. His sister and nephew can choose to move to Fengluan Palace, or they can choose to settle elsewhere in Daliang territory. They can come and go freely throughout their lives and be supported by the royal family.
, there is no need to go to the capital to meet the emperor.
The royal family moved out of the capital and went to live in palaces built in various places. This was always a favor given by the royal family to the losers in the struggle, indicating that they would no longer pursue their past.
In the more than 400 years of history of Daliang, those who lived in the palace could be forgiven by the emperor no matter what ridiculous things they did, except for the serious crime of usurping the throne and treason.
Under this series of promises, Fan Haiyi's restless heart seemed to finally settle down. He respectfully knelt down on one knee and took the Tiger Tiger Talisman from Xie Wanqing's hand. He took the eight lieutenants waiting outside Bai Yujing and took the order.
Shinto heavenly soldiers are mobilized in the silhouette city.
After such a court meeting, nine high-ranking ministers from the court were sent to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion, and more than twenty people were left behind. Without a leader to cause trouble, the ministers simply chose to stop fighting.
Xie Wanqing seemed to have settled his biggest opponent, but when the battle turned from bright to dark, the battle for the throne really began.
At Xie Wanqing's insistence, the ministers no longer openly opposed Ji Xuanhuang's ascension to the throne. However, if Princess Xuanhuang died before the enthronement ceremony, or even Xie Wanqing himself died before the ceremony, the emperor would have to choose another one.
Choose someone else.
After watching Lu Shengdao and Granny Nianci leave from the Zichen Palace, Du Kangcai said to Xie Wanqing beside him.
"Wouldn't the Empress Dowager be worried at all if a general who contradicts him in front of his ministers leads an army to go on an expedition?"
"What are you worried about? Will he also rebel?"
Xie Wanqing looked around and saw that the palace was empty except for Du Kang, his daughter and Yu Feng. His face still had the sincere smile that comforted Fan Hai's heart.
"Not to mention whether the eight high-ranking generals who hold deputy positions in the army are willing to follow him to rebel. Even if this army is led by him to rebel, they join forces with the rebels in Liangzhou to attack the capital. Faced with the dragon spirit of a country, they
There is no chance of winning at all.
This gave me an excuse to kill my wife and my sixth grandson directly, thus clearing the way for Xuanhuang to ascend the throne.
But I feel that Fan is not that stupid. As long as he can take the initiative to leave the capital and send troops obediently, even if he fails to put down the rebellion in Liangzhou within a month, the oath I made in front of Long Qi will still be true.
"
Having said this, Xie Wanqing touched the head of the daughter beside him, with a hint of kindness on his cheek.
"Huang'er, there are many dangers in the White Jade Capital. No place can be considered safe. From now on, you must stay by your mother's side. Do you understand?"
Ji Xuanhuang seemed a little afraid of Du Kang who was standing on the other side of his mother, so he hid behind his mother, blinked his blood-red eyes, and said very obediently.
"I understand, Queen Mother."
"You kid, you are good at everything, but you are a little too timid, but that doesn't matter. You will be fine once you ascend the throne and take charge of the dragon energy.
Yun'er used to have a loose temperament, but after inheriting the throne, he became a wise and powerful emperor. I believe you will grow up slowly."
"By the way, as the emperor of a country, you need to change your name after ascending the throne so that others can avoid it. What kind of name does Huang'er want to change in the future?"
"Everything is decided by mother."
After some filial piety, Xie Wanqing seemed to suddenly think of Du Kang and turned to him.
"I remember that the Taifu said yesterday that because you have a short training time and your strength is far behind other Taishis and Taibao, you want to borrow some incense and jade money from the palace treasury to practice, and you can pay it back when you have money in the future.
Today, the Taifu can persuade the left prime minister to switch sides and help, which is a great help to me. Otherwise, I still need to deal with the group of people headed by him before I can breathe a sigh of relief.
This merit cannot be repaid, so I will take the master to the inner treasury to get some jade coins to practice."
After Xie Wanqing implanted the magic plant into Du Kang's body, he regarded him as one of his own. When the two of them were having fun in bed last night, they were thinking about how to further improve his strength.
Saying these words in front of Ji Xuanhuang and Yu Feng was just looking for an excuse to reward Du Kang.

The royal family's inner treasury is not in Baiyujing, but in a special cave.
Previously in the Purple Chen Palace, Xie Wanqing took the Queen Mother's treasure seal and sealed it in the void. After a burst of space fluctuations, the four of them appeared in a world filled with birds singing and flowers fragrant.
Green grass covers the ground, and various spiritual flowers are dotted in the green grass. Tall spiritual trees are rooted in the grass. There are cute little humanoid elves with wings, several inches tall, flying around in the woods.
Picking the ripe fruits from the branches of the spiritual tree.
Dense branches and leaves blocked Du Kang's vision. Only through the narrow gap in the sky above his head could he vaguely see the distant Rudaiqingshan Mountains.
The quiet and winding forest path under their feet was paved with silver bricks and filled with gold bars. The road was also inlaid with dense talismans. The entire road extended into the depths of the dense forest in an undulating and winding manner.
The rich aura of vegetation hit his nostrils. Du Kang only took a deep breath and felt the movement of the divine power in his divine body, which made him feel more comfortable.
"This is Daliang's inner treasury? This vibrant scene is beyond my imagination!"
According to rumors, the inner treasury of the Ji family has many entrances and few exits. Du Kang thought that the inner treasury would be a dark and cramped underground space, or a luxurious palace with brilliant crystal walls, but he did not expect it to be like this.
"I, Taizu Taizu of Daliang, was an elegant man. After seizing the Qionghua Cave from the previous dynasty, I moved the inner treasury into the cave bit by bit.
After more than four hundred years of filling, I dare to say that every plant, tree, and brick in the cave today is a rare and exquisite product supported by the whole country."
It seems that because of the extravagance of the inner treasury, every member of the royal family is deeply proud, Ji Xuanhuang also timidly showed off in a low voice.
"This is the edge of the cave. There is nothing good here. The real treasures are in the center of the cave.
The incense and jade coins that the Tutor wants are all hanging on the trees in the center of the cave."
Upon hearing this, Du Kang immediately shed tears of gratitude and bowed to the end.
"The Empress Dowager treats me so well. I will do my best to make the princess the emperor in order to repay your kindness."
Feeling Du Kang's infatuated love for him through the demon seed, Xie Wanqing smiled with satisfaction and reached out to help Du Kang up.
"The Taifu's loyalty does not need to be expressed verbally, I can also know it in my heart."
It was extremely inappropriate for the current Empress Dowager to support a foreign minister with her own hands. If she had done this in Bai Yujing, it would have definitely caused an uproar and affected the succession to the throne.
It's a pity that this is an inner treasury, and the two of them only have a chamberlain, a princess and some elves with low intelligence around them.
Yufeng stood aside calmly, as if he didn't see anything.
Ji Xuanhuang was obsessed with the scenery in the cave and looked around, but at an angle that no one could see, there seemed to be some blood-colored haze emerging from the depths of her rabbit-like red eyes.
Xie Wanqing is the Five Yun Demon and is best at sensing changes in people's hearts. She instantly caught her daughter's dissatisfaction with her behavior and immediately changed the subject.
"Huang'er also said just now that the incense and jade coins are stored in the inner layer of the inner treasury. The inner treasury is so vast that it would be too slow to fly there. We'd better rely on the footpaths laid in the cave."
"yes!"
The remaining wind swept the dust in their hands across the footpath where they were standing. On the road paved with gold and silver beneath their feet, each talisman lit up one after another, and then a soft light appeared on the entire road.
The bodies of the four people slowly levitated in the light, and began to move from slow to fast. The trees, blue sky, grass, and all the surrounding scenery quickly receded, and finally turned into abstract lines that were not even afterimages.
After only a dozen breaths of uneventful journey, the movement of the ruler stopped, and the surrounding scenery regained its image.
Du Kang looked around. There was still a footpath paved with gold and silver under his feet, and there were woodlands full of spiritual energy on both sides of the road.
The only difference from before is that the spiritual trees here are taller and sparse. What hangs on the trees are no longer various fruits, but gems, gold essence, mithril, dark iron, and red copper that sparkle with various spiritual lights.
, the finished magic weapon, the demon refining beads that store precious monster body parts, and the valuable magic secrets that Daliang searched all over the world...
In the gaps between the spiritual trees, there are also a large number of elixirs planted, such as ginseng, fleece-flower root, gastrodia elata, ganoderma, cork, Fritillaria, asparagus... Du Kang knew some of them, some didn't, and he couldn't see the end at a glance.
In the distance, on the horizon, you can still see a huge tree with its crown sticking straight into the clouds. As for what is hanging on the crown, Du Kang can't see clearly.
"What is hung on that tree is the most precious collection in the inner treasury. Unfortunately, the Xuanyin Thunder Restriction hidden in the clouds cannot be unlocked by anyone except the emperors of the past. Taifu should not be greedy for it.
The incense and jade coins that the Tutor wanted to use were hung in that forest. I don't know how much they were because there were no account books in the inner treasury.
You can use it as much as you like, since you won't be able to use much in a month anyway."
After Xie Wanqing bluntly broke Du Kang's illusion, he pointed in the direction of the other side of the road.
Du Kang looked along his fingers, and sure enough he saw densely packed incense and jade coins hanging in the woods. The brick-sized jade coins bent the branches like piles of fruits, constantly colliding with each other in the wind, making crisp "ding-dong" sounds.
After arriving at the place, Xie Wanqing gave instructions again.
"Princess Xuanhuang needs to bathe and soak in the Dragon Transformation Pond and cleanse her body with elixir to withstand the tyrannical baptism of dragon energy during the enthronement ceremony. I need to be by her side at all times, so I cannot stay in the inner treasury for a long time.
Taifu, just stay alone in the inner treasury to eat the incense. If anything happens outside, I will directly activate the Queen Mother's treasure seal and let Qionghua Cave Heaven exclude you to Baiyujing and summon you to me."
"Please rest assured, the Empress Dowager, I, Du Kang, am a minister who is valued by you. You brought me directly into the inner treasury as a sign of your trust and grace towards me.
I, Du Kang, am alone in the inner treasury and will only take incense, jade and money, and will never touch any other treasures."
Yu Feng, who had been silent since entering the inner treasury, explained to Du Kang at this moment.
"It's not just the Tutor. The elves born from the inner treasury will accompany you."
Du Kang looked at the little winged guys flying around him, thinking about how to deal with these little eyeliners, and smiled knowingly.
"Oh, that's good, it saves me the loneliness."
Xie Wanqing has a lot of affairs now. When the three princes are not doing anything, she is equivalent to temporarily acting as the emperor's power. There are still many things waiting for her to deal with in Bai Yujing.
After a few brief explanations, Xie Wanqing urged the Queen Mother's seal and hurriedly left the inner treasury with her daughter and chamberlain.
When Du Kang was the only one left in the inner treasury, he was not in a hurry to absorb the incense and advance to calligraphy as soon as possible. Instead, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the elf beside him.
"Certainly."
The elf, which was no bigger than Du Kang's palm, immediately stiffened its wings and fell onto the grass.
Seeing that the body-fixing technique was effective, Du Kang immediately turned around and looked ardently at the giant tree in the distance.
…
After a soft light, three beautiful figures appeared in a palace in Bai Yujing.
A huge pool was built in the palace. The medicinal liquid in the pool was as magnificent as amber, and the hot mist evaporating from it made the palace look like a fairyland.
The moment they appeared, the palace maids immediately gathered around, undressed Ji Xuanhuang and took off her belt, fed her pills and jade, and led her into the fiery Dragon Transformation Pond.
When Ji Xuanhuang's painful moans were heard as he was washing his body, Yu Feng respectfully reported to Xie Wanqing.
"The Empress Dowager, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Taifu Du's temperament is not like a person who will abide by the rules. If you leave him alone in the inner treasury, will it..."
Xie Wanqing just shook his head and said nonchalantly.
"The Xuanyin Thunder Restriction on the ancestral tree cannot be opened. Even if there are mountains and seas of other treasures in the inner treasury, they are all junk waiting to become moldy. If Taifu likes it, just use it.
Now, the most precious thing in Baiyujing is my Huang'er..."
