The death of King Yan was such an important day, but the two most crucial figures were missing. One was the powerful Prince Yun Ji Wuji, and the other was the Crown Prince Ji Lin. This made Princess Ji Yurong of Yanshan very angry.
There was a surge above the main hall.?
Among the civil and military officials, there was another important figure, Prime Minister Lang Haohan, who said with a solemn face: "Elder Princess Qi, King Yun has been in frequent contact with General Qian Biao who is stationed outside the capital recently. Today is the day of national mourning.
They haven’t shown up yet, so there may be changes.”
Hearing this, Ji Yurong felt awe-struck, and thought of something. She gritted her teeth and said, "How dare he... His Majesty's body is still cold, and anyone who plots evil will be a sinner through the ages."
Ao Lin, the protector of the country, also frowned. The old hero had always been loyal to King Yan and was extremely dissatisfied with the absence of King Yun and Prince Yun, so he suggested: "Since the prince and King Yun are not here, the funeral must be carried out by the eldest princess and the prince."
The prime minister took care of it."
Ji Yurong nodded, "Okay then, I'll do as you say..."
Just as the eldest princess and many civil and military officials were preparing for the funeral, something unexpected happened. Twenty thousand officers and soldiers gathered outside the capital, like dark clouds pressing over the country. The leader was General Qian Biao, and the troops led by the garrison were
Officers and soldiers outside the city.
As for Qian Biao, he is also a person who adapts to the situation. He has long been associated with the powerful King Yun, obeys his orders, and looks forward to assisting King Yun in ascending to the throne. Then he is the undisputed founding father of the country, and his rise to the top is just around the corner.
, getting promoted to an official position will naturally come naturally.
As soon as King Yan passed away, Qian Biao received a message from King Yun, asking him to lead his officers and soldiers into the capital to carry out the operation. So he came over without stopping. He saw that the city gate was tightly closed, and the officers and soldiers above were standing ready with bows and arrows. The military attache who was there screamed, "Below
Who are you, and what do you want when troops come to the city?"
Qian Biao looked up and responded loudly: "I am leading my troops to protect the capital. Now there is going to be a rebellion in the city. I have come here specifically to exterminate them. Hurry and open the city gate."
The military attache on the tower was unmoved, "In this case, please show the instructions or military symbols from the Ministry of War."
Qian Biao frowned. This time he led the troops over, which was not an order from the Ministry of War. How could he show his military symbols? However, since King Yan died and King Yun was backing him, he became emboldened and said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, I am a great general."
I order you to open the city gate immediately, otherwise you will have to walk around without food."
Don't forget that the position of the military attache guarding the city is not high, only the seventh rank, but this place is at the feet of the emperor. As a gatekeeper, he is also a bit arrogant and loyal to the dead King Yan, so he said in a deep voice: "Be brave, without the military talisman."
You want to lead your troops into the capital privately, do you want to rebel?"
Even if he really wanted to plot evil, Qian Biao was unwilling to bear such a crime. He gritted his teeth and cursed: "You bastard, don't be slanderous. Don't you think King Yun's orders are not going to work? I'm delaying the business, so you'll be happy."
The military attache said solemnly: "I don't care who's will. When a team of more than a thousand people enters the city, they must show their military symbols, otherwise they will never be allowed to enter..."
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, the rumble of horse hooves could be heard in the streets of the city, but it was King Yun himself who led five thousand silver-armored troops and came over.
These five thousand cavalry all wore white robes and silver armor, held long spears in their hands, and were riding white horses. They looked very majestic.
A veteran general looked majestic, and he was clearly King Yun. He was riding a huge ferocious white tiger on his crotch, and a sinister look flashed in his eyes.
Five thousand silver-armored troops came at full speed, like a whirlwind, and gathered near the city gate. Ji Wuji shouted loudly: "Hurry up and open the city gate."
The officers and soldiers guarding the city looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to do. After all, King Yun was an important official in the dynasty and had great power. In addition, thousands of silver-armored troops were eyeing him. If they disobeyed the order, they would have to be punished. The military attaché leading the team could only say helplessly.
: "Open the city gate."
The city gate opened with a creaking sound. General Qian Biao showed a proud look on his face and led an army of 20,000 people straight into the city. The broad streets were filled with officers and soldiers on horseback, and the atmosphere was filled with tension and depression.
The hundreds of officers and soldiers who defended the city were told to hide far away, not daring to show their anger.
Seeing King Yun across from him, Qian Biao restrained the giant black wolf he was riding, cupped his hands and said, "General, I will pay homage to the prince, and I will only obey your orders."
Looking at the 20,000 troops in front of him, Ji Wuji's eyes flashed with excitement. The force he had painstakingly cultivated over the years finally had a place to be put to use, and he immediately said loudly: "Dear loyal officers and soldiers of the Yan Kingdom.
Everyone, now that the Holy Emperor has passed away and the demons are dancing wildly, it is time to clear out those rebellious ministers and traitors. Everyone, follow me to the imperial city to find out the old thief Lang Haohan, arrest Concubine Yan who has brought disaster to the country and the people, and punish them according to law."
When he finished speaking, Qian Biao raised his arms and shouted: "Destroy the traitors and support the prince!"
The 20,000 officers and soldiers behind also shouted, with deafening voices and overwhelming arrogance. The hundreds of officers and soldiers guarding the city felt frightened. Now that King Yan had just passed away, the world was about to be in chaos, and King Yun Wei actually wanted to get rid of him.
The prime minister, even the imperial concubine, is not spared. He is so ruthless.
Qian Biao's move was a sign of loyalty to King Yun, and he was very excited. As long as the prime minister, concubine and others were captured and sentenced to death, and he completely controlled the capital, the battle for power would be won. After all, no one would dare to fight against King Yun.
If he resists, he will enjoy all the glory and wealth as a great hero.
As a general who has experienced hundreds of battles, Qian Biao is by no means an ordinary person. He did not get carried away by this. He immediately gave the order and closed the city gate first, then left two thousand cavalry on guard here just in case.
The others followed behind the five thousand silver-armored troops and rushed toward the imperial city.
After the death of King Yan, the people in the city already felt that something was going to happen. After all, the two forces of the imperial court had been fighting each other for a long time. Therefore, almost all the residents closed their doors tightly, and the shops were closed, so that there was no one on the streets.
The sound of horse hooves rumbled, and more than 20,000 officers and soldiers, led by King Yun and Qian Biao, came to the imperial city. They saw that there was already a team waiting in front of the high red wall and even the palace gate, but there were tens of thousands of them.
The imperial guard in golden helmets and the dignified old man are the general manager Duhar, who is also the father of Du Min, the thirteenth master of the capital.
Seeing the sudden arrival of King Yun with his army, Duhar was extremely shocked by the opponent's audacity and unscrupulous tactics. After all, King Yan had just passed away. Could this guy be eager to seize power by force?
It's no wonder that Duhar was worried. After all, King Yun's side was the enemy. Now that King Yan has passed away, if nothing unexpected happens, the crown prince will naturally succeed him. The powerful King Yun is likely to become the real regent.
The decision-maker has power over the government and the opposition, so he also faces a decision. If he offends King Yun, he may fall into an abyss of eternal destruction.
