Chapter 0220: Take the Throne!
When he got up to the city wall, Duan Ruoyan didn't know if it was intentional, he stood beside him, smelling the charming fragrance coming from her, and the others all showed a vague look of intoxication, but Qin Fei felt extremely troubled. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
She must have done this with a purpose, but she didn't know what she was going to do.
The others were a meter away from her intentionally or unintentionally, of course they knew that she was the fiancée of the eldest prince, but Qin Fei had no choice, because if he stayed farther away, he would have to jump off the city wall.
When the princes followed His Majesty the Emperor into the tower, the eldest prince and the third prince glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, and of course he understood the meaning.
Just as the emperor walked into the tower door, he suddenly turned to an old man among the royal family members and said, "Big brother, you can go up with Gu!"
When the old man heard this, he thanked him, and then walked by Qin Fei's side, Qin Fei felt that he seemed to glance at himself, and nodded at himself, as if to say hello.
Hell, who is this old man?
"Fool, that's His Majesty the Emperor's eldest brother, Prince Cheng!" Duan Ruoyan saw him wondering, and secretly said.
Prince Cheng? This name is funny, isn't he thinking about getting married all the time?
Qin Fei pursed his lips and didn't answer Duan Ruoyan's words, he didn't want to talk to her for half a sentence, so as not to get into trouble.
Duan Ruoyan saw that he didn't care about himself, and he immediately stomped his feet in anger, revealing a look of indifference and grievance.
The fat man next to him glanced at Qin Fei and Duan Ruoyan, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became even stronger.
"Mr. Qin, hello!" Shu Mocheng also followed the eldest prince up the city wall, and when he saw Qin Fei, he saluted with a smile, but Qin Fei always felt that he was a little funny holding a paper fan.
It's not hot this day, this thing is holding a fan all day long, and I haven't seen him unfold it and fan it for so much time in the array, it's just a typical pretend.
His Majesty the Emperor led a group of people up to the tower, sat down, and loudly announced the beginning of the celebration.
Immediately, the lively cheers sounded, and everyone celebrated together, and it was very lively.
It took about three hours for the ceremony to come to an end, and everyone was engrossed, because at the end of each ceremony, His Majesty the Emperor would personally make a speech and announce a major event concerning everyone in the empire.
Soon, His Majesty the Emperor stood up, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in front of the tower, waved everyone to be quiet, and then turned back to the eldest prince and nodded to the third prince.
"Gu announced, the eldest prince Zhu Zhi will be in charge of the economy in the future, and the third prince Zhu Li will be in charge of the military for a period of ten years!" His Majesty the Emperor announced loudly.
Wow......
Ordinary people didn't feel anything yet, but all the officials and members of the royal family gasped!
Qin Fei frowned, and the secret path was really as Bu Zhi said, His Majesty the Emperor was still young, and he had no intention of abdicating the throne as soon as possible, he was playing the art of balancing.
Previously, Zhu Zhi was in charge of the military, so in the past ten years, Zhu Zhi has been deeply rooted in the military department, and Zhu Li is in charge of the economy, and now he deliberately let the two of them come over, obviously he wants the two to fight each other, so that his emperor can sit firmly for at least ten years!
In fact, everyone knows what is going on with these things, but no one dares to say half a word, and the only ones who are dissatisfied are probably only the two princes.
The emperor gave everyone information, what he valued was these two princes, so Zhu Zhi, who was the eldest prince, was naturally unwilling, he was the crown prince, and he was the natural emperor in the future, but now there is such a huge threat as the three princes, and the three princes are naturally unwilling when they see that they have a chance, and they see hope, how can they not have the idea of fighting?
The Emperor's House is really in crisis everywhere!
Qin Fei knew best, I am afraid that this time the eldest prince will not be willing to obey the emperor's words and exchange all his rights with the third prince.
The eldest prince laughed when he heard the emperor's announcement, but he did not attack on the spot, but left afterwards under the pretext of an excuse.
As soon as he left, everyone became nervous, knowing that something to worry about was about to come.
The third prince didn't move, he glanced at Qin Fei under the tower, and when he saw Qin Fei's expression, he couldn't help but be extremely calm.
But it was Buzhi who found an excuse to go down the tower.
His Majesty the Emperor also came downstairs at this time, preparing to leave.
The Qingguo ceremony officially ended here, and the people began to disperse, but all the officials, at this time, did not leave, sending off the emperor.
When the emperor walked down the city wall, suddenly thousands of guards in the palace surrounded him, surrounding the emperor and the others in the middle.
"Do you want to rebel?" said one of the princes.
Strangely, His Majesty the Emperor was very calm and did not seem to be surprised at all, and even the others did not show a trace of surprise.
"Hehe, Father, it seems that you have expected today, otherwise you would not be so calm!" The eldest prince walked out of the crowd and looked at the emperor with a sneer.
The emperor glanced at him lightly and said, "Zhi'er, Lone already knows everything you have to do! You have been plotting for a long time, and you have long had the intention of seizing the throne, do you think that Lone's eyes are blind? But you can see clearly, Lone has them by his side, what can you soldiers do?"
"Haha, are you referring to them?" Zhu Zhi pointed at Leng Xiaoran and the others.
"What?" The emperor frowned, yes, he relied on several masters around him at the moment, with Zhu Zhi's little person, he couldn't help it.
But he suddenly felt that something was wrong, because Zhu Zhi was not a fool, and it was impossible for him to dare to openly rebel without a little reliance.
"Haha, my father, can't you see it? Do you think I'm really stupid? Lord Leng, Lord Li Xing, it's time for you to surprise His Majesty the Emperor!" Zhu Zhi laughed wildly.
Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, Leng Xiaoran and Li Cai walked out one after another and stood in front of Zhu Zhi.
At the same time, the little fat man also walked out, and even many members of the royal family also walked over, including several princes, only the third prince and the five princes who were shouting angrily just now stood behind the emperor.
Qin Fei noticed that Duan Ruoyan frowned, and then walked over slowly under Leng Xiaoran's cold gaze.
Qin Fei naturally didn't move, standing on the emperor's side, his face indifferent.
When the emperor saw that most of the people had chosen the eldest prince, he couldn't help but be furious, and said, "You traitors! Leng Xiaoran, Li Cai, I didn't expect you to betray me too!"
Leng Xiaoran laughed and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, don't blame us, you have been sitting in the position of the emperor for too long, so long that everyone thinks you should abdicate, we need a young, energetic and fighting emperor to lead us to expand the territory!"
"Yes, what we need is a bigger territory, not such a lack of progress!" Li Cai also nodded on the side.
"Expand your territory!" said the Emperor angrily.
"Hmph! Presumptuous, think about the Emperor Xuanling, unify the empire, what a great achievement, and when it comes to your generation of emperors, you only know the achievements of your ancestors all day long, the empire is now surrounded by enemies, there are small countries on the western sea on the left, there are steppe people on the right, there are mysterious beasts in the south, and there is a vast territory occupied by barbarians in the north, and we want to occupy the whole world with the empire. I, Zhu Zhi, am determined to lead the empire to a more brilliant future, but you occupy the throne, don't think that I don't know your thoughts, if you want to stay on the throne for a long time, you don't have this big dream!" Zhu Zhi said with a cruel smile, counting the emperor's no.
Qin Fei frowned, although the Xuanling Continent respects the empire, but outside the territory of the empire, there are indeed countless enemies, the reason why there are so many pirates on the sea is inseparable from the support of those small overseas countries, saying that if they are not supporting the pirates behind their backs, a three-year-old child will not believe it.
Overseas small countries have always been unwilling to live on the sea, the environment on the sea is harsh, and it is extremely difficult to survive, everyone wants to come up to the Xuanling Continent, where the rich land and countless wealth are what they dream of.
Every year, the steppe people will invade the frontier of the empire in the autumn, burning, killing and looting, and do all kinds of evil.
The barbarians are even more brutal and ferocious, they do not produce, they live by plundering the property of the merchants of the empire, and even in history, the empire has fought several tough battles with the barbarians, but they have all successfully repelled them, but the empire has also paid a heavy price, making the empire's military strength worse than once, and the situation is dangerous.
