Chapter 735 The Empress of the Moon

The three great princes of the Qin Kingdom in Xizhou were not willing to accept defeat. They quickly put aside their old grudges and joined forces. They are also a strong force. Each prince has his own fiefdom. Each has 30,000 personal guards and privately raised staff, adding up to more than 100,000 troops.

.

This group of people could not compete with Princess Mingyue openly, so the three princes secretly wooed many princes and kings, made heavy promises one after another, and hindered Princess Mingyue in Qin affairs.

No matter how powerful Princess Mingyue is, it is impossible for her to do everything perfectly. It is easy to find faults. The three princes constantly find faults in government affairs in an attempt to defeat Princess Mingyue in public opinion.

A lot of criticisms came in all of a sudden, making Princess Mingyue extremely angry. Many things she did were not really wrong, but she had to take care of the interests of many parties. It was normal to be criticized. Just talk, who?

No way.

Princess Mingyue was at a loss for a while, which made many princes and kings suspicious of Princess Mingyue. They all discussed whether Princess Mingyue had the ability to take charge of power and bring Qin to a more glorious level.

"Princess, we can't wait any longer. We must cut through the mess quickly and deal with the three princes. Otherwise, there may be changes to the Qin throne."

Amidst all the disturbances, Princess Mingyue's staff decided to admonish Princess Mingyue after private discussions. So when Princess Mingyue was once again very angry by the three princes, they said to Princess Mingyue.

"They can't survive the storm."

"What the princess said is true, but if we delay it any longer, I'm afraid the officers and soldiers of the three armies will not be happy."

"Zhuge, what did you say?"

When Princess Mingyue heard this, she was immediately furious. The monks of Qin were organized into three armies, which were the foundation of Qin. When she heard that there was going to be a problem with the foundation, Princess Mingyue couldn't sit still.

"Princess, I'm not being alarmist..."

Princess Mingyue's staff calmly replied that most of the monks of the Qin State were organized into three armies, and the first army was the Yulin Army. They were mainly composed of the children of the Qin royal family. They guarded Kyoto and had the best equipment and treatment.

The other two legions are called Fenghuo and Longteng. Princess Mingyue is in charge of the Wind and Fire legion, and the King of Qin is in charge of the Longteng legion. In addition to their own personal guards, the princes and kings of Qin also hold important positions in the two legions.

These two legions are stationed at the border all year round. When the war is tense, most of the Imperial Guard Army will be sent to provide support. Now Princess Mingyue has won over most of the generals of the three legions in order to take over the king.

But it is useless to rely on promises alone. If you can promise you for a while, you may not be able to support you for a long time. The best way is to give them benefits and tie them up with benefits. To put it bluntly, it is to be promoted to a higher position.

And what is the best merit for being promoted to an official position? The merit of following the dragon. The so-called merit is greater than following the dragon. Only if they support Mingyue and ascends the throne, can they be legitimately promoted to an official position and be promoted to a noble title.

What to do after being promoted to an official position is to divide the interests. However, there are only so many interests in Qin. Where do they come from? Naturally, they must be taken from the enemy. And who the enemy is, naturally cannot be the king.

It's three princes.

The prince has a fiefdom in his hands and controls a lot of property, including some mines, real estate and land in Kyoto, etc. Only by seizing these interests can Princess Mingyue reward her subordinates. Otherwise, she can only rely on the support of the Wu Kingdom.

How long will you stay?

Nowadays, the three princes are aggressive and seeking death. The soldiers under Princess Mingyue have long disliked them, so they want to force Princess Mingyue to get rid of them, completely solve the stumbling block for Princess Mingyue's accession to the throne, and get what they deserve in advance.

interests.

"Zhuge, you are right, but what should I do about my father? He has not yet passed away."

"Princess, this is not the time for women to be benevolent. There is no hope for the king to break through to the eighth realm. His longevity has only been so many decades. We all feel that it is best for the king to be a supreme emperor and enjoy his final years.

The utmost loyalty”

"Zhuge, you..."

"Princess, this is not the intention of Zhuge alone, but the intention of many soldiers. The civil war of the human race is about to break out. No one knows whether it will sweep across Xizhou. With more strength and peace of mind, everyone is afraid."

"But the emperor's uncle..."

"This requires the princess to go and communicate. I believe that King Qin is a person who knows the overall situation. There is no one in the world who is more suitable to be the queen than the princess."

"I know, I'll think about it"

"Then I resign."

Zhuge bowed his hands and then left the room, leaving Princess Mingyue alone in deep thought.

In fact, Zhuge's words have already moved Princess Mingyue. In recent days, the actions of the three princes have made her very disgusted. These people attacked her indiscriminately, which put Princess Mingyue under pressure in many things. Getting rid of them will not affect her.

Princess Mingyue's integration of Qin's power is very helpful.

Three days later, Princess Mingyue secretly visited King Qin. King Qin was the only golden body monk in the Qin Kingdom, and he would soon become the only one. If King Qin did not agree to her, then she could only find help from the outside. This

There is a danger of attracting wolves into the house, so Princess Mingyue needs the threat from King Qin very much.

"I understand, Mingyue, you can go ahead and do it, but I have a request."

"Uncle, please tell me"

"The royal family is the cornerstone of the Qin State. I don't want the royal family to be divided. So as for the three princes, please consider that we are all members of the same clan and spare their lives."

"Ming Yue has never thought of harming their lives. Uncle Emperor, don't worry, Mingyue will definitely support them until they die."

"That's good, you can go"

King Qin nodded. He was not keen on power, and even the Soaring Dragon Legion was only a virtual leader, but he still knew the internal situation of Qin very clearly.

In hundreds of years of performance, Princess Mingyue has appeared to be more shrewd and capable than the three princes. Princess Mingyue is more suitable to be the king than them, so he will not hinder Princess Mingyue's plan.

Princess Mingyue received the support of King Qin, and she was immediately determined. Then she began to convene her staff to discuss and prepare for Mingyue's enthronement.

After discussions with dozens of staff, they decided to take three steps. The first was to place people loyal to Princess Mingyue in the court and occupy important positions. The second was to actually control the three legions and control the place. The third was to

The first is to collect evidence of the three princes' crimes and eliminate them completely before ascending the throne.

After the staff determined the strategy, they immediately began to implement it step by step. They sent people from the Military Intelligence Department to spread the news and publicize Princess Mingyue's deeds to gain the initiative in public opinion. They then mobilized officials from the DPRK and China to repeatedly admonish the king to give Princess Mingyue a promotion.

Lord, by the way, eliminate the disloyal parties and completely suppress the prince's faction.

The Military Intelligence Department is a very important force in the Qin State, but most of the Military Intelligence Department is in the hands of Princess Mingyue, leaving the three princes without any possibility of turning over.

After more than half a year of planning, Princess Mingyue began to exert force. First, a major case was launched. Officials sent by the prince were imprisoned for various reasons such as corruption, dereliction of duty, unfavorable combat, violation of regulations, etc., including some marquis and the like.

of men and horses.

The people on Princess Mingyue's side took their positions and took over most of the power in the court, forcing the king to confer Princess Mingyue on the throne. The king had no choice but to make Princess Mingyue the Moon King and take charge of the political affairs of the court.

After Princess Mingyue was crowned the king, she entered the palace openly and legitimately and began to preside over the affairs of the Qin State. At the same time, the ministers of the court began to attack the three princes.

There was nothing surprising about the crimes they attacked. They were basically corruption and malfeasance, raping women, bullying officials, doing things unfavorably in fighting monsters, and killing monks.

The three princes are not as disciplined as Princess Mingyue. Basically, all the accusations made by the officials are true, and the various evidences are even more dazzling. At this time, even the king is disappointed with the three sons. Like Mingyue,

Comparatively, they are not only different in ability and cultivation, but also in terms of personal integrity. How can they shoulder the heavy burden?

The king was so disheartened that he hid in the royal garden and no longer wanted to be a director. He only had a few decades left to live, and he just wanted to enjoy his old age. After all, the people he was fighting for were his own children, and his flesh was rotten.

There is no advantage for outsiders in the pot, let’s fight for it.

Princess Mingyue felt her father's thoughts, and she was overjoyed. She immediately summoned all officials and asked them to recruit three princes to come to Kyoto to defend themselves in the name of the king.

But how could the three princes dare to come to Kyoto at this time? Wouldn't they be risking their lives? They all refused. Princess Mingyue issued thirteen edicts in a row within six months, but they all refused to come.

Princess Yu Si Mingyue was furious and ordered the arrest of the three princes. She had already prepared an army of 300,000 to attack the prince's fiefdom immediately. The three princes made a final resistance and raised their troops to meet the enemy. The three princes had 90,000 bodyguards.

In addition, the die-hard forces have nearly 200,000 troops against the Wind and Fire Legion's 300,000 troops.

However, among the princes' factions, only their respective 30,000 personal guards were relatively elite. The rest were considered a ragtag group and were directly defeated in one battle.

After the first battle, more than 50,000 people of the princes' faction were killed, 70,000 to 80,000 were captured, and tens of thousands were defeated. Each of the three princes retreated with thousands to more than 10,000 troops.

The Wind and Fire Legion fought hard to catch up, and after more than a month of hard fighting, they killed most of the three princes' troops. The eldest prince fled Qin with more than three people. The second prince had a strong character and died on the spot. The third prince was injured and captured.

He was escorted back to Kyoto.

Later, Princess Mingyue tried the three princes in the name of the king and completely deprived them of all power and status. The three princes were deprived of their cultivation and sent to the ancestral tombs of the Qin royal family to guard the tombs of the Qin ancestors.

The three princes were also deprived of their fiefdoms and distributed them to many generals under Princess Mingyue. All their properties were confiscated, and Princess Mingyue rewarded the three armies.

Soon afterwards, Princess Mingyue used the prince's case to clean up a group of princes and kings and reshuffle the power of the Qin State. After the political situation stabilized, Princess Mingyue had completely controlled the Qin State. She could ascend the throne as the emperor only after the king abdicated.
