Cowardly Stepmother Dressed As the Hero - v2 Chapter 140
The eldest prince’s escape was like a warning, and every day after that, Qi You could receive news from all directions.
Zhu Yan couldn’t hide the fact that the prince died. On the day of the enthronement ceremony, the youngest child of the late emperor was pushed to the throne by him.
This time, the forces of all parties who had been waiting to see the changes in the current situation would not buy it.
Zhu Yan didn’t care. He never went to the list to participate in the enthronement ceremony as scheduled. He chose a group of people who were relatively close to the capital and relatively weak. In the name of the emperor’s decree, they conquered the past one by one.
In such a situation, the small and medium-sized forces near the capital either surrendered actively or passively, or were beaten to the point of losing their armor and their armor and fled.
For a time, Jinzhou and its surrounding areas were all in the palm of Zhu Yan’s hands.
Of course, during the time when Zhu Yan was cleaning up Jinzhou, the other forces were not idle either.
In the prosperous Kyushu, except for Jinzhou and Yaozhou under the control of Zhu Yan, and the southernmost Lizhou, which is uncontested with the world, the other six states have successively raised troops to oppose Zhu Yan.
For a time, several edicts were issued to count Zhu Yan’s hundreds of crimes, and all the heroes in the world turned their attention to the capital.
Liaozhou, led by Qi You, naturally did not fall behind.
The eldest prince was very happy to see this situation – even if he did not talk about the secret decree in his hands, as soon as the prince died, he was the eldest eldest who was most qualified to become the next emperor.
He was doing a big wave of his hand, and the six states echoed, and the dream of embracing him to the throne was hit hard by reality.
“This…how dare these people!” Seeing the information that Qi You specially brought over to check with him, the eldest prince flipped the table in front of him angrily.
He gasped violently, suddenly thought of something, and looked at Qi You with a blushing face: “Qi… No, Uncle Huang, hurry up and think of a way to tell the world that this king has the last emperor’s will!
“Let those families who dare to support my fifth and eighth brothers know who is the real prince!”
Seeing the situation early, the prince who escaped from the capital is not only the eldest prince.
These people either fled to their fiefs or their wives’ homes with a clear purpose, or they rammed around like flies for a while, and then they were caught by other noble families with ulterior motives and became their support for their voices.
“I’m afraid… the secret decree has been sent out, but it’s of no use.” Qi You narrowed his eyes and said lightly, “Actually, this minister has concealed several things from the eldest prince, such as the eighth prince who was rescued by the Yuanzhou Xiang family. Claiming to have obtained the will of the late emperor…”
“Ridiculous!” There were no more cases in front of him, so the eldest prince waved his hand bitterly.
He swallowed, and suddenly said again: “Uncle Huang, you, do you believe in me? Only the imperial edict in the hands of this king is true!”
Qi You curled his lips soothingly: “This is natural, otherwise the minister would not have directly obeyed you and brought people back.”
“Yes, yes, you are the wisest!” The eldest prince said happily.
Then, he asked angrily: “Uncle, you have been saying before that you are preparing to go south to attack that nephew Zhu Yan. How long has it been? When can we set off?”
Qi You pondered for a while, and said truthfully: “The situation is not yet clear, the minister is negotiating with other forces, and I am afraid that we will have to wait for a while.
“Also, Liaozhou is very far away from Jinzhou, and there are places like Minzhou and Fengzhou in the middle…
“The states are now dominated by major forces. It’s not easy to borrow the way. Maybe you have to fight a few battles with these forces first.”
Today’s Sheng Dynasty has been torn apart, and different forces are working on their own, and wanting to work together to conquer Zhu Yan is tantamount to fooling around.
This is not what Qi You said, but according to the news he got, although the two states in the west showed the banner of retribution together, in fact, after the army was assembled, the first time they fought with each other because of old grudges. Indissoluble!
Today, although the six states in the world have the same name, they actually have different positions.
Qi You guessed that this was the reason why Zhu Yan dared to be in trouble at this critical juncture and became the target of public criticism——
He knows too well that there is no “same” among “public targets”.
“No!” The eldest prince didn’t care about this.
He paced the room anxiously: “Now that my seventeenth younger brother has been put on the throne by him, if I let him stand in front of the emperor like this, it won’t be long before I have to take the matter seriously?
“At that time, even if all parties have entered Jinzhou, do you still want this king to bow his head to the little baby, no, absolutely not!”
Qi You frowned.
“What does the first prince mean?” he asked.
“Uncle, hey, it’s not this king who told you!” The eldest prince challenged Qi You: “You have been squatting in the north for a long time, and you have lost your ambition! The three armies in the north are in your hands, it’s a waste! “
He lifted the corner of his shirt and walked out: “Go! Follow this king to the military camp!
“This king originally wanted to make you a marshal, and the military affairs will be handled by you. But now it seems that this king still has to do it himself.”
As soon as he came out the door, he had a horse prepared and prepared to go out.
Qi You followed behind him and nodded silently to the butler, who then proceeded to make arrangements.
Riding on the horse and rushing to the military camp, the eldest prince still touched his belly and commanded bluntly, “Uncle Huang, in the future the army will be in charge of the king himself. You can also give me the tiger talismans.”
The corners of Qi You’s mouth were slightly curved, and he didn’t seem to think there was anything wrong with his words, but the answer was: “The eldest prince has misunderstood, how can I have a tiger talisman for a mere king?
“There are only 2,000 personal soldiers in my name in the military camp today.”
During this period of time, Qi You really didn’t move troops – he spent a little effort to sort out the affairs within Liaozhou.
The other two armies originally stationed in Liaozhou, Lei Li and Chen He, had secretly called him ministers. Now the army of Liaozhou will obey the orders of the King of Bei’an even if there is no tiger talisman.
This is not difficult to understand – first, Qi You itself is the royal family they want to swear allegiance to. Second, compared to other people, the two armies naturally trust the Qiyou who have been advancing and retreating with them on the border of Liaozhou over the past few years.
Hearing what he said, the eldest prince spat irritably.
He stopped talking and seemed to be thinking about something.
Qi You, who was following behind him, was also thinking.
In fact, according to his thoughts, he certainly did not intend to support the First Prince to ascend to the throne.
Thinking of the blood kinship, he originally thought that if the eldest prince could know each other, then it would not be difficult to raise him to be a wealthy and leisure king.
After all, the blood of the royal family is now withered, and those who fall into the hands of other noble families, such as the Fifth Prince and the Eighth Prince, are actually only chess pieces, and their lives are at risk.
But judging from the current performance of the First Prince…
Qi You frowned and made up his mind to beat him.
Soon, the two came to the barracks.
Most of the barracks were Qi You’s personal soldiers, and there were a small number of people who were transferred first under the arrangement of Lei Li Chen He.
They only knew Qi You, not the First Prince at all.
No matter how slow the eldest prince born in the palace was, he slowly woke up after coming here.
Every time he gave an order, the recipient would not act immediately, but turned his attention to Qi You who was standing behind him.
If Qi You nods, the recipient will readily accept the order and go down to make arrangements; if Qi You does not express his position, then the recipient will find various reasons to refuse to act.
During the two days of inspecting the military camp, the eldest prince finally understood his status under the deliberate arrangement of Qi You.
After returning to the palace, the eldest prince became much more restrained.
Qi You also thought that his arrangement had an effect, and while letting the housekeeper prepare to send their family out of the house, he devoted himself to his next arrangement.
But to his surprise, the eldest prince did not give up.
The eldest prince grew up in the palace since he was a child, and didn’t know much about dispatching troops, but he was well versed in the doorway of the back house.
One day, the first prince and concubine came to talk to Cao Mi.
Cao Mi knew that they were going to move their family in late ten days, and went to the neighboring city mansion that the housekeeper bought for them. So even though he didn’t want to see her, he nodded and let Dong Li bring people in.
The two chatted for a while, and the two children who came with the eldest princess were bored and ran into the courtyard to play.
The palace was filled with his own bodyguards and maids, and Cao Mi didn’t care, so he let them go.
It wasn’t until Qi An with a serious face broke in with a pouting Qi Xin, Cao Mi asked in astonishment, “What’s wrong?”
But Qi An hadn’t answered yet, and Qi Rui, who was following him, led two men into the house.
The eldest son of the palace has lived in the border for a long time, and he has been trained by Qi You himself, and his force is quite good.
Although the two men were as tall as him, they were tightly controlled by him.
Seeing Cao Mi, Qi Rui stretched out his hand and pushed them, directly throwing the two men to the ground.
Before Cao Mi came back to his senses, he heard the wailing of the eldest concubine next to him, screaming: “Hui’er! Huang’er!”
Only then did Cao Mi see clearly that these two were clearly the two direct sons of the eldest prince who had just gone to the courtyard.
She took Qi Xin from Qi An, frowned and asked again, “What’s going on?”
Xiao Qixin waved her little fat hand and pointed at the two of them on the ground: “Mother! Bad guy! Catch me!”
Cao Mi quickly patted her back to comfort her, and asked, “The bad guy wants to arrest you? How about you? Are you injured? Yes, is there any pain?”
Qi Xin rolled her eyes and shook her head in denial: “No! Brother, amazing!”
“Sister is fine.” Qi An also reassured her.
Without waiting for Cao Mi to ask again, he pointed directly at Qi Hui and explained, “These two climbed the wall from the front yard and went to the back yard, wanting to take Qi Xin directly from the wet nurse.”
As he said that, he turned his head with a gloomy expression, and when he saw Qi Hui struggling to sit up, he kicked him directly, causing him to scream again and lie down: “If there is nothing wrong with the school today, my brother and I will come back directly. I don’t know what’s going to happen yet.”
Qi Rui also sneered and added: “Mother doesn’t know, even if they plan on it, the wet nurse and the maid are all women who are powerless. This is a plan to grab it!”
When Cao Mi heard this, he was afraid for a while.
You must know that in the ancient times when women’s famous festivals were almost equal to life, as long as one of them took away one of their daughters for a moment, the consequences would be disastrous.
The eldest prince had previously had the idea of letting his son marry the little daughter of the Bei’an palace, but he never thought that the drunken jokes at that time would always be remembered by him!
Cao Mi, who wanted to understand the intentions of these people, laughed angrily: “Oh, okay!
“I originally thought that you were leaving, and before leaving, I had to leave you with dignity.
“Since you don’t want it yourself, don’t blame me.”
She raised her voice directly and said to Qi Liu, who had heard the wind rushing over: “Qi Liu, take them all down.”
Qi Rui didn’t want her to get angry, so he took the initiative to say: “Mom, calm down.
“You stay in the house and take good care of your sister. Qi An and I will handle this matter.”
The two are getting older, and now they are starting to be directors. Cao Mi thought for a while, then nodded and said, “Well, let’s go.”
What happened later, Cao Mi did not know exactly.
She had asked Qi You, but Qi You only said that he didn’t need to care, and the matter had already been dealt with.
Anyway, since then, she has never seen the eldest prince’s family again.
And when things developed to this point, Qi You no longer had any scruples.
He adhered to the festival and began to lead people south to attack. Not only Zhu Yan, but also in the prefectures along the way, as long as they have the heart of not being a minister, they will be surrounded and suppressed by his troops.
The prefectures that had been protected by Liaozhou from being threatened by the Rong clan finally realized at this time that the recovery of the five cities outside the Great Wall was by no means a false record, nor was the Rong clan itself vulnerable.
Under the leadership of King Bei’an, the Liaozhou army, which has experienced the baptism of blood and fire, has been in a state of success all the way, singing triumphantly.
The strange thing is that it is different from other forces-every time the army of the King of Bei’an crosses the border, there is another team led by the princess to start the intensive post-war construction to help the people rebuild their homes.
After the war was going on, the people everywhere were looking forward to the King of Bei’an to recover their area, and many cities even took the initiative to open their doors and surrender.
The smoke of gunpowder rises to the earth, which is another spring that sweeps the mountains and rivers.
