Li Yubai's shouting made the noisy hall suddenly quiet, and everyone cast their eyes on the Lord of Qinglan City. In such a bad situation, in the eyes of ordinary people, unless there is a magic weapon or a general, Qinglan City will not be able to survive.
There is no chance of winning this time.
Li Mu and his party are the youngest and have never interrupted from beginning to end. Compared with many seniors present, whether it is military literacy or city management experience, they are far from enough. Faced with a difficult situation at this time, it is also
At a loss, when they heard that Li Yubai had a solution, they naturally looked at the city lord in the center of the room expectantly.
"The two biggest problems we face now are the strength of the Penglai Army and the constraints from the royal family. Among them, we cannot solve the Penglai Army. We can only mobilize more forces to hold them back. The longer we delay, the greater our chances of winning.
So we have only one choice left, which is to resolve Huangfu Yi’s constraints on us."
Li Yubai spoke very calmly, but after he finished speaking, the entire hall became eerily quiet. Everyone looked at each other, unable to believe the guesses in their hearts.
"Yu Bai, you mean, we are rebelling?"
Finally, after Liu Ruoying hesitated for a long time, she spoke, looking at her husband with a bit of struggle. When the Cangyun Empire was first established, the then Yunlan Sect designated the Huangfu family, who had made great contributions in the founding process, as the
The rulers, the royal family, have lasted for thousands of years. No matter what happened in the Cangyun Empire during this period, no one has shaken the status of the Huangfu family.
Even if their wings are hardened now and they want to get rid of the Yunlan Sect and gain real power, no one has thought about pulling Huangfu Yi from the position of emperor, not even the leader of the Yunlan Sect, Yun Li'er.
If you dare not do this, the Huangfu family is synonymous with the Cangyun Empire. This has been engraved in the bones of every citizen of the empire. Anyone who overthrows the imperial family will be deemed a traitor and will be spurned by everyone.
Any change takes time, which is especially difficult in the Cangyun Empire, which is very traditional.
"Reverse? You can't do it, right?"
"City Lord, think twice."
"That's right, just go with that old bastard Huangfu Yi. I support it!"
It is said that one stone stirs up a thousand waves. Li Yubai's words completely ignited everyone present. Most of the commanders in charge of the city's military affairs supported directly rebelling against the Cangyun Empire or replacing the royal status of the Huangfu family, while the civil servants in charge of the city all suggested a long-term plan.
, after all, if you want to overthrow a family that has ruled the empire for thousands of years, their strength in Qinglan City alone is far from enough.
"Ying'er, you are wrong. I have no intention of rebelling. The constraints we are receiving now come from Huangfu Yi, and at most his son Huangfu Zhantian, but the Huangfu family is not limited to their two pure bloods. According to the
As far as I know, there is only one person who is qualified to sit on the throne."
There was silence in the hall again, and some young officials even cast doubtful looks. As we all know, although the Huangfu family is a royal family, their direct bloodline has never been rich. After Huangfu Yi succeeded to the throne, he only had one son, Huangfu Zhantian.
According to the traditional etiquette of the empire, the only legitimate people who can wait for the throne are father and son. How can there be a third person?
"Actually, Huangfu Yi also has a daughter, but this daughter's mother was born in a humble background. Although she was pregnant with a direct bloodline of the Huangfu family, she still couldn't rely on the mother to be the daughter. What's even more miserable is that her man wanted to consolidate his status and ensure the purity of his bloodline.
, even secretly killed the killer, maybe God can’t bear to see such a human tragedy, and the killer who performed the mission realized his conscience and let the little princess go."
Li Yubai's words were like a huge thunder exploding in the hall of the city lord's palace. Even if Li Mu was a man of two generations, he would never have imagined that such a bloody plot would really happen to the imperial royal family. An illegitimate daughter was abandoned.
Assassinations, the discovery of the killer's conscience, and other plots that are only found in novels actually exist. Li Mu's heart was filled with thousands of horses running through it, and he became curious at the same time. How did Li Yubai know about such a secret thing?
"The killer who assassinated the little princess and her mother was known as the number one pirate in the East China Sea. The former leader of the Hanhai Gang, Hai Wuya, you all know that I fought life and death with the seven masters of the Hanhai Gang on the East China Sea.
, the most difficult one among them is Hai Wuya. After winning by luck, I asked the dying Hai Wuya what his last words were. Perhaps he couldn't bear to completely hide the blood of the imperial family from the world, so he told the original secret to Hai Wuya.
I."
"The little princess was less than one year old at the time, and was placed at the door of a nunnery by Hai Wuya. Counting the days, the little princess is now almost twenty years old. When Huangfu Yi saw Hai Wuya bringing
When the two heads came back to life, they didn't even look at their own women. They were worse than pigs and dogs, but it was lucky that the little princess survived until now."
The huge amount of information filled the entire hall. The long silence represented everyone's mental state at this time. The civil and military officials who didn't know what to say could only look at you and me and I looked at you. In the end, it was Liu Ruo.
Sakura spoke first.
"Then what you mean is that we support this little princess, then replace Huangfu Yi and take back control of the empire?"
A pair of eyes focused on Li Yubai again, and even Li Mu held his breath, because he understood that his father's answer would probably determine the historical direction of the Cangyun Empire.
"Yes, since the emperor is incompetent and unable to bring benefits to the empire and the people, it is understandable to find a more suitable candidate. There is no precedent for emperors to abdicate early in the history of the empire. Now that the enemy is facing us, the fate of the empire is at stake, and we will do it for ourselves.
It is also my generation's responsibility to depose the corrupt emperor who abandoned the glory of our ancestors for selfish gain and colluded with traitors."
The powerful words cheered everyone up. Looking at Li Yubai's shining eyes, Li Mu felt that it was a pity that his father did not become a speaker. There were many emperors who abdicated early in the history of the empire, but most of them
It was because of their age and physical condition that they were unable to do what they wanted, so they abdicated and gave way to talents. What they wanted to do was completely two concepts.
"But my father is really handsome in this posture. He helps his illegitimate daughter to avenge his unscrupulous father. He climbs high and helps the building to collapse. Gee, this plot is amazing when you think about it."
As the first sound of applause came, the civil and military officials present began to applaud the plan proposed by Li Yubai one after another. This is indeed the most advantageous plan at the moment. They are both direct bloodlines of the Huangfu family. This little princess is in
According to ancient etiquette, he is fully qualified to take over the imperial power. This will not only prevent the people of the empire from panic, but also gain more support from the royalists when facing the Penglai Immortal Kingdom.
"Now we have two things that need to be done immediately. One, find the little princess and convince her to join the palace. Two, find someone who has the ability to remove Huangfu Yi and regain control of the military at all costs."
The excited people quickly calmed down under Li Yubai's shouting. The plan was easy to talk about, but it was extremely difficult to implement it. Not to mention that Huangfu Yi had been in power for many years and had his own power in every corner of the empire.
In the entire empire, only that sect has the power to question him or even remove him.
"Yes, we need to divide our troops into two groups. One group will go to find the little princess, and the other group will go to Yunlan Sect with me."
