Dense red handprints, each of which represents a minister, Shi Chaoqing really couldn't understand what kind of medicine these ministers had taken wrong, and why they had to make themselves emperor without warning? Moreover, he was now just guarding Fan Yang on behalf of his father and emperor as a supervisor of the country, and he never had the idea of self-reliance.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Mr. Zhang is here!"

A sentence that Mr. Zhang came, which made Shi Chaoqing immediately feel like he had a backbone.

"Quick, pass on Mr. Zhang!"

Shi Chaoqing was originally a casual person, so after getting up in the morning, he wore his hair scattered, just tied behind his head, and only had a blue brocade robe on his body. Even so, he still stepped up the steps barefoot and went to greet Zhang Yan in person.

After Zhang Yan saw Shi Chaoqing, the first thing he knelt down and shouted:

"The ministers respectfully ask Your Highness to plan for the country, inherit the unification, and reign over the world!"

Behind Zhang Yan, there were also Shangshu's left servant Yuanfu and others, and this posture immediately overwhelmed Shi Chaoqing. He leaned down in front of Zhang Yan and asked in a low voice at a loss:

"Sir, sir, what kind of play is this singing? I, when did I say I was going to be emperor?"

"Your Highness was born in the emperor's family, how can he act willfully?"

Zhang Yan rarely spoke to him in this tone, and Shi Chaoqing was already faintly unhappy, but in front of several "important ministers", he didn't have much doubts, and only pulled Zhang Yan to try to get him up and go to the hall with him to talk secretly.

However, Zhang Yan, who has always been empathetic, stubbornly knelt on the ground and refused to get up, and claimed that if Shi Chaoqing did not agree, the emperor would not be able to kneel for a long time.

Several "important ministers" also said that they would kneel down until he agreed.

"This, this throne belongs to my father, as a son of man, how can I not ask for myself?"

Shi Chaoqing has already said it very tactfully, in fact, he is saying that unless there is Shi Siming's edict of succession, he will not do such a de facto usurpation.

Zhang Yan said loudly:

"Jiangshan Sheji has reached the point of life and death, how can His Highness still be here?

The imperial palace in Fanyang City was rebuilt from the former Jiedu Embassy, and also learned the appearance of Xingqing Palace and made a diligent palace.

"No, I don't ......"

Shi Chaoqing still wanted to refuse, but the "important ministers" who followed Zhang Yan only thought that he was acting, at this time, it was extremely important to persuade hard, and it was also the capital that could be relied on when rewarding meritorious deeds in the future. Therefore, no matter how Shi Chaoqing struggled, the 'important ministers' savagely and brutally held him hostage and rushed to the palace not far from the Dai Wang's Mansion.

The inside and outside of the palace have long been stationed by He Chang with troops, and the mobilized ministers are standing inside and out, and it is not surprising that there is no special official to maintain order.

But in any case, Shi Chaoqing was forcibly put on an ill-fitting imperial robe and sat on the imperial couch of the Qinzheng Palace.

The edict of enthronement was read out in public by the left servant Yuanfu, and the ministers shouted long live, bowing again and again. In a hurry, the fourth emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty officially succeeded to the throne.

At the same time as succeeding to the throne, the left servant shot Yuanfu even gave a similar era name, taking this year as the first year of Jianzhong.

The so-called Jianzhong gave them the bad wishes of these Great Yan courtiers to be able to establish a unified dynasty in the Central Plains.

It wasn't until after the ceremony was completed that Shi Chaoqing was still in a dream, and he really couldn't figure out why he inherited the throne in a daze? If he became the son of the Great Yan Emperor, what about his father? What should he do when his father comes back?

As soon as he thought of this, Shi Chaoqing had another idea, and felt that it was a big deal for him to return the throne to his father. So, he accepted the support of the officials with peace of mind.

After becoming emperor, Shi Chaoqing thought that the first thing he would do was to dispose of his brother, that is, the crown prince Shi Chaoyi.

Shi Chaoyi committed rebellion and would definitely be punished, so he announced in front of the palace that he was demoted to the king of Jian'an County. He was a soft-hearted man, and when he learned that he was going to be defeated, he wanted to spare his life. But this suggestion was collectively opposed by the ministers, who thought that it was okay to be crowned king, but it could only be posthumously, in other words, Shi Chaoyi must die.

was disturbed by the ministers, and Shi Chaoqing had to agree haphazardly, which was considered a compromise. At the same time, he began to seal the so-called "meritorious heroes", with Zhang Yan as his subordinate, Qiu Bai as the general of Zuo Wuwei, and Zheng Jing as the Yin of Fanyang Mansion......

Just when the farce of Shi Chaoqing's great feudal heroes was staged, outside Fan Yang City, Shi Siming suddenly launched a crazy attack on Fan Yang City. The target point of the attack was the section that was previously collapsed by Shi Chaoyi with a stone cannon.

Since the collapsed area became the weakest point of the entire city defense, Shi Siming concentrated nearly 50,000 people and launched a wanton bombardment of this place.

Of course, Shi Siming is roughly the same as Shi Chaoyi in terms of military strategy, of course, he refuses to use his elite descendants to fill his life, but uses the remnants of Shi Chaoyi who have been recruited and incorporated as the vanguard, and then only uses a small number of elite descendants as the backbone.

The assault began so suddenly, that even Qiu Bai did not expect it, and when he received the urgent notice of the city wall, he was eating breakfast, and was so shocked that the rice bowl in his hand fell to the ground and shattered because of his unsteady grasp.

"Quick!

Without saying a word, Qiu Bai rushed to the place where the enemy army was attacking the city. Here he was negligent and only made a simple arrangement of the collapse, but fortunately, it came in time, and the ferocious offensive was forcibly suppressed.

Seeing that the siege of the city that was still pouring towards the city wall like a tide was wrong, Qiu Bai gradually felt a headache, Shi Siming's siege was obviously much more ruthless than Shi Chaoyi. Shi Chaoyi will also take into account casualties when attacking the city, while Shi Siming does not care about the cost, it is not a question of how many people die, the important thing is to attack the city wall.

Therefore, Qiu Bai did not dare to relax in the slightest, and immediately asked the troops and horses of the Feng Changqing Department to control the situation in the city. Only these people are the real elite backbones, and with them, they can be a husband, and they can't be opened. The rest, whether it is the so-called prison guard rate or the defending soldiers, are all armies with a weak will to fight, and they can fight a good battle, but once the situation is reversed, there is a danger of overturning.

As the siege intensified, time seemed to freeze, and the corpses under the city were piled up as high as the collapsed city walls, and the siege thieves only had to step on the layers of corpses to easily climb the city walls.

In a short period of time, the defenders had shot all the arrows stored on the city walls, and the rolling wood and stone had lost their effectiveness, and now all they could do was to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the horizontal knives in their hands, and use flesh and blood to extinguish the last madness of the thieves.

Finally, Qiu Bai understood Shi Siming's intentions, and now Shi Siming has reached the situation of fighting against the water, presumably he has discovered the existence of the Hedong Shenwu Army, so he will be so crazy and attack the city at all costs. The only way to survive is to recapture Fanyang City.

Therefore, it is Shi Siming who is under more pressure, and now it depends on who vents this breath first.

He Chang evacuated the encirclement of Fanyang Palace as soon as possible, as the so-called lesser of two evils, the monarchs and ministers of the puppet Yan regime have been forced to stand on fire by the sword, and the rest is up to them to play freely.

When He Chang arrived at the city gate with his men and horses, he suddenly found that Feng Changqing, who had been lying on the sickbed, actually appeared neatly draped.

"Doctor, you, you are ......"

Feng Changqing smiled and said:

"I know that the Shenwu Army is about to enter the city, if I don't kill it again, I am afraid that I will not have anything to do with it in this life!"

He Chang's eyes moistened, he nodded tremblingly, and everyone rushed to the city wall.

After repelling a wave of strong attacks, He Chang profoundly understood what it means to be a strong general and a strong soldier, and what is a weak general and a soldier. Most of these soldiers who were attached to the siege of the city were the remnants of Shi Chaoyi, which was incorporated by Shi Siming, but the combat effectiveness and fighting will that broke out today were incomparable before.

Even if these people were thrown into the siege battle in the form of newly defeated remnants, their performance was still remarkable, which also showed the importance of the strength of the main general.

The drums of war rumbled, almost non-stop, resounding over the entire battlefield.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Feng Changqing squinted his eyes, assessing the intensity of this battle, he hadn't fought much in the city defense battle, but he seemed to have seen the scene of the battle of Luoyang many years ago. Suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply, and the smell of danger filled his nostrils all the time.

"In addition to being careful of the rest of the gates being attacked by sneak attacks, the remaining elites must hold this gap!"

Looking at it, the cascading corpses outside the city wall must have reached at least tens of thousands of people. It can be said that in just two hours, the number of enemies killed and wounded by the defenders of Fanyang is equivalent to the total number of enemies killed and injured in the past ten days.

However, the more than 10,000 corpses still exerted their surplus value, and the slope with the accumulation of dead corpses allowed the besieging thieves to rush directly to the city walls.

As the drums of war became rapid and dense again, a new round of assault began.

At the same time, fifteen miles southwest of Fanyang City, Lu Qi and the Hedong Shenwu Army had arrived at the last fort outside Fanyang City that was brave enough to defend. However, these forts have long been destroyed and abandoned after Shi Chaoyi and Shi Siming crossed the border successively.

Here, the dense sound of war drums can be faintly heard more than a dozen miles away. All the soldiers are gearing up one by one, they have been waiting for this day for too long.

It's just that no one thought that they would come to Fanyang City in such an easy way.

"Report, I caught the spy!"

Lu Qi waved his hand expressionlessly, and ordered the interrogation to be killed on the spot after the interrogation.

"Dashuai, kill, can't kill, they claim to have captured Shi Chaoyi to surrender to ......"

"Shi Chaoyi?"

This made Lu Qi a little surprised, and he even thought that some people were crazy and planned to deceive him in front of him.

But now that it's on the march anyway, let's just take a look at whether the so-called Shi Chaoyi is true or not!
