Chapter 721 Enthroned! proclaim oneself emperor!
Zhongzhou, Shenjing City.
After the First Battle of Zijin Mountain, all forces in the world were ready to move and wanted to rebel, and then followed the example of the Sima family in the past, and sat on the throne of the Ninety-Five Supreme.
That seat represents the most extreme power in the world. Even if it is suppressed by the fate of the country and cannot practice, once a certain power or family can sit on it.
Still able to obtain a lot of resources, and then form a virtuous circle.
It can be said that any force with some strength has the ambition to glimpse the dragon chair, the difference is more or less, and it is when the outside world changes.
In the city of Shenjing, there is also a battle for succession!
Jingtai died in Zijin Mountain, the elite of the imperial court was completely destroyed, several true monarchs fell, and almost most of the strength of the entire imperial court was wiped out, but this does not mean everything.
There are still many civil and military officials who are not in good shape, honored and noble clans, and returned to Shenjing City alive.
Among them, the most notable ones are the second prince Sima You and the fourth prince Sima Ke.
Jingtai's heirs are not too many, but they are not too few. These three are the only ones who are qualified to compete for the crown prince. There is almost no support from any force.
Therefore, before Sima You and Sima Ke, who was instructed by Chen Yuan, had not restrained their affairs for Jingtai, a huge conquest began quietly.
Sima You was the eldest son of the empress of the current dynasty, and also the eldest son of Jingtai. Although the empress fell in the battle of Zijin Mountain, there were still many people around her.
For example, most courtiers and clan elders support Sima You.
After all, everyone knows that Chen Yuan and Sima Ke were very close before. When Emperor Jingtai was still in power, he followed Chen Yuan's prestige to regain momentum.
Even with his help, he gained a firm foothold in the Sky Survey Division.
Many people knew that if Chen Yuan had not rebelled, committed the crime of regicide, and still belonged to the court order, with his support, Sima Ke would have a great chance of becoming the prince.
It's a pity that everything died in that battle.
Chen Yuan smashed his official uniform and official seal in front of countless people. He is no longer an official.
And today there is chaos, and the chief culprit for the instability of the court is him!
Many people are even clamoring to take down Sima Ke, the sinner who had fornicated and rebelled against the thief, and let him commit suicide in front of Emperor Jingtai's mausoleum to repent of his crimes.
Of course, most of these people were instigated by Sima You, just to completely deprive this most threatening younger brother of the chance to ascend the throne.
And then have great power.
But in this world, sometimes things don’t go as expected. If Sima Ke doesn’t get the support of Chen Yuan and the eldest princess, what awaits him is returning to Beijing and committing suicide.
There is almost no second way.
But it was precisely Princess Pingyang's request in front of Chen Yuan that gave Sima Ke a way out.
Princess Pingyang is a daughter, but she is not inferior to a man. She has other thoughts. Although she is vulnerable in the face of the general trend, she still has a huge force in the capital.
Many people around the second prince Sima Ke were loyal to him. It can be said that Sima You has no secrets at all in front of Sima Ke.
The actual head of the Sky Survey Department fell into the hands of Duke Wei Gu Tianqiong before the Battle of Zijin Mountain, but once he died, the remaining authority fell to the former governors Xiao Jing and Zhang Yantong.
Wu Tianxi and Huang Tiancheng died, and all the vassal forces around them belonged to the papers of the two of them, although the sky surveyor suffered serious losses in the battle with those Jianghu warriors.
It can be placed in the already very weak court, and it is still a force that cannot be ignored.
When Princess Pingyang returned to the capital, the first thing she did was to visit Zhang Yantong and bring Chen Yuan's message. Zhang Yantong agreed to her request without much thought.
Both his son and daughter are by Chen Yuan’s side. He has almost no choice but to support Chen Yuan. Sima You is not Jingtai, so he will not believe that someone who is closely related to Chen Yuan is in power.
Besides, anyone with a certain vision can see that the Great Jin Dynasty is already a dead bone in the tomb, most of the elites have been lost, the popularity of the people has been lost, and the world is full of crusades.
There is no chance of ZTE's great cause.
Chen Yuan has gained huge popularity, coupled with his foundation in Shuzhou, he is definitely a potential stock among all forces today.
He is not stupid, so he will naturally choose to support.
Under his lobbying, Xiao Jing also chose to support the fourth prince Sima Ke, which was not caused by Xiang Qianqiu. In fact, Xiang Qianqiu had not contacted him since the first battle in Zijin Mountain.
He can only make choices according to his own preferences.
Almost all the true emperors of the imperial court have fallen, and the entire huge imperial court could not find a Yangshen true emperor, so Xiao Jing became the veritable number one powerhouse.
This is also the ally that Princess Pingyang must win over.
The only two giants remaining in the Sky Survey Department worked together to quickly integrate the entire Sky Survey Department and became an extremely important force supporting Sima Ke.
Let Sima Ke's forces have the strength to protect themselves in a short period of time.
Even those officials who clamored for Sima Ke to commit suicide did not dare to say anything more.
Then, Princess Pingyang made some preparations and began to build momentum for Sima Ke's public opinion, and soon reached the point of fighting against Sima You.
Princess Pingyang has also become Sima Ke's most important staff. No, to be precise, she is actually the real person in charge behind it.
Both Xiao Jing and Zhang Yantong were persuaded by her. Without her, with Sima Ke's ability and means, it would be impossible to reach such a point in just half a month.
"Sister Huang, what should we do next?"
In the mansion of the eldest princess, Sima Ke, who was supposed to be the leader of a party, was sitting at the bottom at the moment, looking at the young woman in the phoenix robe with a flattering expression on his face.
It is concentrating on playing the piano, and seems quite intoxicated.
He didn't dare not please Princess Pingyang. To be honest, since returning to the capital, the strength displayed by the imperial sister has surprised him.
He never thought that a princess could develop so many powers under the eyes of the emperor and many princes, and most of them were not damaged in the battle of Zijin Mountain.
This is also the foundation of his current fortune.
In addition, Zhang Yantong and Xiao Jing are also friends with Princess Pingyang, so they don't respect him at all, they just think of him as a puppet.
Therefore, he didn't dare to offend her in the slightest, and even the concubine mother didn't dare to point fingers at Pingyang at this time, or scold her.
Princess Pingyang raised her head, stopped the fingers that were plucking the strings, and instead of looking at Sima Ke, she looked at a figure at the gate of the courtyard, with a smile on her face:
"General Li, please."
The man known as General Li was wearing a dark red armor with a square face. Judging from his appearance, he was obviously half a hundred years old, and his eyes were very serious.
Walking in front of several people, he clasped his fists at Princess Pingyang and saluted:
"I have met Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Sima Ke who was beside him, bowed and said:
"I have seen the Fourth Highness."
"General Li, please stand up."
Surprise flashed in Sima Ke's eyes, and he hurriedly exchanged greetings.
Although Li Kuangxiu and his eldest son Li Feiyu died in the Battle of Zijin Mountain, there was still an elite force inside the capital.
is the current guard of the palace.
And the General Li in front of him is none other than Li Kuangxiu's nephew, Li Yang, who is over a hundred years old and even more powerful than a real person in Huayang realm.
is a very important faction of the Li family in the military sequence.
But before, he supported the second prince Sima You.
"Please."
Princess Pingyang stretched out her hand and pointed to the seat beside her.
But Li Yang did not sit down, but looked directly at Princess Pingyang calmly and said:
"I don't know why the eldest princess is here. There are important matters in the palace, so why not just tell me."
"Hehe, General Li is a smart man, do you really need some words from me to win you over?"
"Brown? The eldest princess may have misjudged the person. Li has sworn allegiance to the Second Highness. It is best to take these words back." Li Yang said lightly.
Sima Ke on the side was suddenly startled. It turned out that he had misunderstood, and the emperor hadn't won over this person yet.
"You are also aware of the current situation of the imperial court. Do you really want to support the second child and oppose us?"
"Li can't understand what His Highness means."
"General Li, you have already made a decision if you can come today, haven't you? Your cousin Li Hongshuang is the woman of Jiang He, the Heavenly Sword True Monarch of the Taoist Palace.
Really have no idea? "
Li Yang didn't speak, just kept silent.
"You know very well that Zhang Wanshu, the daughter of Zhang Yantong Zhang's envoy, is now in Chen Yuan's back house, and even he supports Bengong. Who do you think is the man behind Bengong?"
Princess Pingyang looked directly at him and smiled.
"Chen Yuan is a traitor. If Her Royal Highness said so, are you not afraid of misunderstanding?"
Li Yang asked back.
"The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the chaos of the world is for profit. The Sima family is besieged by the world. Everyone knows that it will be destroyed in the end. If that is the case, why not wait for the price and find a good buyer?
Your sister Li Hongshuang has already chosen her."
"The Uncle's Revenge."
"Do you care? If you really cared, you would have sent troops to kill Zijin Mountain not long ago. The capital is not far from Zijin Mountain. I don't believe that you didn't witness that battle."
"Li is ordered by His Majesty to guard the imperial city."
"His Majesty is dead."
Li Yang: "."
He was a little speechless for a while, he didn't expect the eldest princess to be so straightforward.
"Actually, even if there is no general, I can still control the situation, but the time will be delayed for a period of time. At that time, you and I will never die.
Now, I will give you a chance to let the Li family pass on. The main line of the Li family has been wiped out, and Li Hongshuang will have to marry sooner or later. Don’t you want to be the head of the Li family? "
"I"
"It's okay, General Li can think about it carefully."
Li Yang was silent for a while, and heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, Princess Pingyang was right. As a supporter of the second prince, he came to the eldest princess's mansion today because of an invitation.
In fact, the decision has already been made.
Watching Sima You will die sooner or later, it is better to go to his cousin, maybe the Li family can flourish in his hands, even Li Hongshuang doesn't care about killing his father.
He is a son and nephew, why bother?
"The last general is willing to be driven by His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."
Li Yang cupped his fists and bowed.
Princess Pingyang nodded, then turned her gaze to Sima Ke and said:
"Emperor brother."
"Sister Huang."
Si Make hastily cupped his hands.
"Get ready."
"What are you preparing for?" Sima Ke was taken aback.
Princess Pingyang showed a slight smile on her face:
"Ascension to the throne, proclaim the emperor!"
Shenjing City is not small, but it is not big. It is impossible to block the news that Li Yang went to the Princess's Mansion. If so, why not launch a coup immediately?
In fact, during Li Yang's arrival, she had already secretly informed Zhang Yantong and Xiao Jing, and just waiting for the signal, she quickly entered the imperial city and formally mutinied!
Because the second prince, Sima You, was the eldest son, he had already produced a blank imperial decree left by Emperor Jingtai before his death, surrounded by all the civil and military officials and noble clans.
Then under the instruction of the great **** Cao Zhengxian, he forged the imperial decree and became the prince.
Sima Ke's supporter is Xun Tiansi, and Sima You's supporter is Emperor Supervisor, especially Cao Zhengxian, who stayed behind in the imperial city, did not participate in the Battle of Zijin Mountain.
The people under his hands have not been lost, and they still have a lot of power.
That's why Sima You's success as the crown prince was so smooth. After Sima You became the crown prince, he did not go to the East Palace, but began to supervise the country in the name of the emperor.
Although Sima Ke strongly opposed it, no conflict broke out after all, and both sides were patient.
Accompanied by the betrayal of Li Yang, the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army in the Imperial City, the forces of Princess Sima Ke and Pingyang surrounded the entire palace, and countless Forbidden Army stabbed their former colleagues with knives.
Sealed the palace tightly.
Xiao Jingzhang Yantong stood in the void, looked at the palace below, and shouted coldly:
"Cao Yugou, you falsely preached the imperial decree and falsely ordered Sima You to be the crown prince. You violated the last emperor's will, and you didn't hurry up to lead him to death!"
"Presumptuous, you wait for these rebellious officials and thieves to have an affair with Chen Yuan and murder His Majesty, and now they dare to force the palace directly. Even if the governor dies, I have to pull you away with me!"
In the palace, Cao Zhengxian, who had already turned gray at the temples, brought several palace priests and killed him directly, pointing directly at Zhang Yantong, Xiao Jing and others. At this moment, the whole palace turned into a purgatory on earth.
"Sister Huang."
Si Ma Ke watched the battle in the void nervously, a little frightened.
"The Imperial City formation has been temporarily suppressed. Today is the day you ascend the throne. Don't worry."
"Sister Huang, if the emperor's younger brother really becomes the emperor, is it possible that we really want to dedicate our ancestral foundation to Chen Yuan?" Sima Ke lowered his head and murmured.
"Imperial brother, do you still remember what you said before?"
"What words?"
"Your name is Chen Ke now!"
"I"
