Day 2.

A storm was already brewing in the imperial city.

A battle for the crown prince that arose after the collapse of the Immortal Emperor.

In the depths of the Imperial Palace, the two Xuanxuan Realm powerhouses both opened their eyes at the same time.

Their eyes looked at the sky, and the purple-robed old man looked at the green-robed old man and said, "An accident is about to happen, maybe all this is a certainty." ”

The old man in the green robe and the old man in the purple robe looked at each other and smiled, the old man in the green robe sighed, the battle for the crown prince is what these little guys must face, as the emperor of the capital of sin, his own fate is not up to them, and he can't live forever.

Needless to say, everything will naturally have a result, we just need to wait quietly, the eyes of the purple-robed old man sparkled.

You are most optimistic about that little guy, the green-robed old man squinted his eyes at the purple-robed old man.

It is not an easy task to be able to quell this war.

To be honest, all three of them are excellent, and for a while, I can't see it.

The green-robed old man nodded, and said: "I don't think so, the eldest prince is kind-hearted, and most of the support of the court, it can be said that he has the highest voice, although the third prince is a little impatient, but he has repeatedly made military exploits outside, his prestige is extremely high, and he holds a part ......of the military power in his hands."

When the green-robed old man said this, his brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of regret appeared on his face.

What's the matter, the purple-robed old man looked at the green-robed old man.

I am afraid that the first to fall is only the second prince, only his power is the thinnest, he has no power in the court, and there is no prestige in the army, and he was born to a concubine, so His Majesty did not wait to see him before his death, but he was afraid that he was the first to die in this war.

The purple-robed old man smiled faintly, but didn't say anything.

Where there is bloodshed, there must be conflicts, which is also the reason why His Majesty did not set up a crown prince during his lifetime, to be honest, the three are very good, so there is no choice, it depends on which of them can win the throne, everything is natural.

The two Xuanxuan Realm powerhouses slowly closed their eyes, as if the soldiers outside the imperial city had nothing to do with them.

The second day after the death of the Immortal Emperor, that is, the first year of the Emperorless title.

There were drastic changes in the DPRK and China, and most of the civil officials and commanders of the forbidden army supported the establishment of the great prince Chen Heng as the sole heir of the imperial family.

For a time, this battle for the crown prince intensified.

The second prince Ning Zhiyuan and the third prince Chen Zhao were dissatisfied, saying that they were not sick.

In the early morning of the next day, news came out that the three princes Chen Zhao's mansion encountered assassins, if it weren't for the desperate rescue of the people in the mansion, the three princes were almost assassinated, and at the last moment, a Daotai realm monk was seriously injured to save the three princes.

The next day, the third prince Chen Zhao launched an edict of rebellion and ruled the periphery of the capital of crime alone.

attacked the city several times and almost captured the imperial city.

The eldest prince Chen Heng refused to defend the imperial city and resisted desperately.

For a moment, the two sides could not tell the winner.

On another day, the bandit Black Mountain Army stationed north of the sin capital launched a sneak attack, and the border pass was in an emergency.

The people of the DPRK and China were panicked and discussed.

If the Montenegrin army breaks through the fortress, it can be condescending and go straight to the imperial city.

For this reason, the eldest prince can only formulate countermeasures while discussing peace.

The eldest prince sent 100,000 high-grade bone crystals, and 100 female musicians were able to stabilize the Montenegrin army.

However, the armistice lasted only three days.

According to rumors, the three princes colluded with the leader of the Montenegrin Army with a lot of money, ordered him to attack the fortress, and attacked the imperial city at both ends, so that he could not care about each other, and agreed to share the world.

On the throne of the imperial city, Chen Heng saw the codex of the Black Mountain Army, and couldn't help but show a trace of anger on his face, and he slapped his big hand and slapped the imperial case in front of him into powder.

Darn!!!

The group of bandits of the Montenegrin Army deceived people too much.

Ladies and gentlemen, what is the discussion of this matter, the Montenegrin army is pressing, and there are traitors before Chen Zhao rebelled, slowly calming down his anger, Chen Heng spoke.

He couldn't help but shake his head at the civil official, and he was at a loss.

Could it be that there is no one available in my court, seeing that the ministers did not say a word, Chen Heng's face couldn't help but show a trace of anger.

Your Majesty, the minister has something to do, and Ji Yuanqiu on the side immediately stood up.

Ji Aiqing had something to do quickly, and Chen Heng's face had a hint of relief.

Your Majesty, the Montenegrin army is just taking advantage of the fire to loot and want to make a profit from it, besides, they are just bandits, a group of rabble, and they can't make any trouble.

But if we join forces with the anti-thief Chen Zhao, it is indeed impossible for us to take care of each other.

His Majesty may send a general to refuse to defend the fortress and not engage it at war, so as to wait for changes.

When we have our hands freed, it will not be easy to destroy these thieves, Ji Yuanqiu proposed.

Brother reconsideration!

Ning Zhiyuan on the side couldn't help but stand up, what Mrs. Ji said was right, the Black Mountain Army was repeatedly untrustworthy, if they gave money in a vacuum, it would only make them more greedy and strong, and even despise us.

So the subordinate brother fights the main battle.

What do you think, Chen Heng took a deep look at Ning Zhiyuan, and then at the ministers of the DPRK and China.

The ministers reconsidered, and many courtiers nodded again and again.

Then there can only be a battle, Chen Heng nodded, and immediately said: "But there is that courtier who is willing to fight the Black Mountain Army." ”

Your Majesty, at the moment, many generals are busy guarding the imperial city, and they are only afraid of ......

There is really no one available, Chen Heng sighed deeply, Mo Feier and the others want me to drive the expedition in person, but it can't be.

Your Majesty, by all means, if the imperial city is not guarded by His Majesty, the monarchs and ministers are only afraid that they will deviate from morality, once the imperial city is lost, we have no stronghold, a courtier immediately dissuaded.

This is not it, it is not that, then you should find a way to come out, otherwise what is the use of raising these rice buckets for you.

Many courtiers just lowered their heads and didn't say a word, after all, they are all civilian officials, and it is really not their forte to go into battle to kill the enemy, so they can't send a civilian official to the battlefield!

Seeing that there was no one, Ning Zhiyuan immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, my brother is willing to share your worries for Your Majesty." ”

You...... Chen Heng glanced at Ning Zhiyuan with some surprise, he squinted his eyes and said, "Imperial brother, I can't do without you, you still have to defend the imperial city with me, you must not take risks." ”

Your Majesty, let me go! Ji Yuanqiu immediately stood up.

Ji Aiqing is loyal and brave, but you are also like the emperor's brother, you have no experience in battle, Chen Heng shook his head.

Those who refuse to defend the fortress must be brave and resourceful, and be good at fighting, but the war is tight at the moment......

Your Majesty, why don't you let me go with the second prince, the second prince is His Majesty's younger brother, if you add Weichen, it will be good to have a response, Ji Yuanqiu proposed.

Chen Heng took a deep look at Ning Zhiyuan, and then at many courtiers, hesitating.

This matter will be discussed tomorrow, let's retire!

Many of the courtiers retreated.

In the imperial garden, Chen Heng only felt a little bored in his heart, and immediately walked into the garden.

Behind him, followed an old man.

Why is Your Majesty hesitant today, you must know that the change in the battle situation can only be in the morning and night, and once the border is in danger, we may fall into the dilemma of being caught between the two ends, the old man said lightly.

Chen Heng nodded and said, "As you said, I don't know what's at stake. ”

It's just that Ning Zhiyuan's actions today made me a little suspicious.

Imagine what you would do if I put you under house arrest in the Imperial City, rob you of your freedom, or even send someone to assassinate you.

Without waiting for the old man to speak, Chen Heng continued to speak: "Even if it is powerless, it must be because he hates me, if a person has hatred, if he vents it, it is not a threat, but if he swallows his anger, just to find an opportunity to stay away from my control, don't you think this forbearance is terrible?"

Your Majesty, I'm just afraid that I'm worried too much, this Ning Zhiyuan was born to the emperor's concubine before his death, and he didn't even deserve the surname Chen, he still followed her mother's surname, if it weren't for the emperor's guilt before his death, I was afraid that he wouldn't recognize him as a son.

Moreover, he did not have too many henchmen in the DPRK and China, and he did not have any military experience.

It is indispensable to guard against people, you still underestimate him, Chen Heng said with some concern.

The dragon is born with wings, Your Majesty, with him alone, even if he is a hero, even if he has great ambitions, he is also a fallen hero, no one to assist him, how can he achieve great things.

Besides, at the moment, His Majesty just can't spare his hands, once the war is stable, find a reason to recall him, or even kill him quickly, the old man's eyes have a cold light.

What you say, Rong Zhen considers it.

In the second prince's mansion, Ye Lin looked at Ning Zhiyuan.

Brother Ye, Ning Zhiyuan glanced at Ye Lin who was sitting in front of him.

After the civil strife that day, Ning Zhiyuan did not rush out of the city, but looked for Ye Lin everywhere and took Ye Lin to the house.

From that day on, the whole city was under martial law, and no entry or exit was allowed, so Ye Lin naturally had no chance to escape.

Second prince, Ye Lin said lightly.

Ning Zhiyuan sighed and said, "Today I proposed to Your Majesty to guard the fortress, but Your Majesty did not agree or refuse, it seems that he is still very suspicious of me. ”

Ordered in times of crisis!!

If you rashly propose to fight on the battlefield, even an emperor will be suspicious of you, Ye Lin said.

I also hope that Brother Ye will teach me, if this continues, I will be persecuted to death by His Majesty sooner or later, Ning Zhiyuan said worriedly.

In this battle for the crown prince, I don't have any hope, and I don't even want to get involved, but the eldest brother still won't let me go, and Ning Zhiyuan's eyes were a little confused.

Second prince, rest assured, you have already known the stakes today, for the overall situation, Your Majesty will definitely let you go on the expedition tomorrow, Ye Lin said slowly.

Why, Ning Zhiyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Ye Lin.

First, Your Majesty's failure to explicitly reject you proves that you have hope, and second, you must know that the situation of war is changing rapidly, and later it will change.

The most important thing is that Your Majesty has no one to use, so he can only use you, use you to suspect you, use people without suspicion, and use people without suspicion.

I understand what Brother Ye said earlier, but there is no doubt about this employment, and there is no need to understand the suspicious person, Ning Zhiyuan humbly asks for advice.

Your Majesty will agree to your expedition tomorrow, and you can agree, but you must not bring your family with you, just travel lightly, firstly, to make your position clear, and secondly, to dispel your Majesty's doubts.

I see, Ning Zhiyuan's eyes rolled and nodded, then this time, I only need Taifu and Brother Ye and others to accompany me, and the rest of the people will not be brought.

Well, Ye Lin nodded.

He sighed, this civil strife had already involved everyone, and he wanted to stay out of it, but found that he couldn't stay away at all, because he was already in the whirlpool of civil strife.

From Ning Zhiyuan finding him, the two talked heart-to-heart for a night, and Ye Lin found that Ning Zhiyuan had the same thoughts as him, which also made Ye Lin willing to help him.
