Chapter 87: The upheaval begins
Not long after returning to Xingyue Academy, a bad news came.
The monarch is dead!
After hearing the news, Broken Gu and Jin immediately gasped, he knew that the coup d'état in the ancient country had begun.
"Faint! I didn't expect that Prime Minister Cao Cheng to be so daring!"
He knew in his heart that he was still in the preparatory class at this time in his previous life.
Although he was in the preparatory class at that time, he remembered clearly that there was no such thing as the death of the monarch at that time.
He knew that this was most likely Prime Minister Cao Cheng's coup d'état in advance.
So, he immediately went to the palace to look for Meng Yun and the Seventh Emperor Uncle.
But at this time, the palace was heavily guarded, and he couldn't enter the palace to find Meng Yun and the Seventh Emperor Uncle.
Just as he was about to leave, one of the Seven Emperor Uncle's subordinates found him, and the subordinate took him to find the Seventh Emperor Uncle.
It was in a courtyard in the capital that he saw the Seventh Emperor Uncle and Meng Yun.
After a period of greetings, the Seventh Emperor Uncle told the ancient and modern about the current situation in the palace.
After a while, I learned that the original monarch had 'died of illness', and that Prime Minister Cao Cheng and a group of civil and military officials had appointed the Fourteenth Prince as the new monarch in accordance with the monarch's last words, and the Fourteenth Prince would officially ascend the throne a month later.
"Unexpectedly, it turned out that he used the Fourteenth Prince as a bargaining chip early on!"
Uncle Seven Emperor said with emotion.
"So what do we do now?" asked Broken Gujin.
"Wait and see, don't worry, your family will be fine for the time being, and that Praetorian Guard is now under my control!" replied the Seventh Emperor Uncle.
Both Gujin and the Seventh Emperor Uncle knew in their hearts that although that Praetorian Guard was now under the control of the Seventh Emperor Uncle, when the Fourteenth Prince grasped the real power, he would definitely give up the control of that Praetorian Guard at that time.
They all knew in their hearts that this must be Prime Minister Cao Cheng's ghost.
"Wolf ambition!"
Meng Yun said sadly.
"Meng Yun, I'll send someone to send you to Qingyun Sect first, you have to protect yourself first! If you stay here, then Cao Dingtian will do everything he can to kill you first! You must leave immediately! If we fail, then please cultivate well in Qingyun Sect in the future, and avenge us in the future!" Uncle Seven Emperor said.
Hearing the words of the Seventh Emperor Uncle, Meng Yun's face turned pale, she had been a princess of the ancient country since she was a child, how could she have encountered this kind of palace coup.
"Yes, Meng Yun, you go to Qingyun Sect first! I will fight Cao Dingtian here with your seventh uncle!"
"No, I'm going to stay and fight Cao Dingtian with you!" Meng Yun insisted.
Seeing that he couldn't convince Meng Yun, the Seventh Emperor Uncle decided that he would slowly convince Meng Yun.
"You go back and prepare well! We have to find a way to deal with Cao Dingtian together!"
The Seven Emperor Uncle first asked Duan Gu and Jin to go back, and when Duan Gu and Jin heard the meaning of the Seven Emperor Uncle's words, they went back first.
That night, Breaking Ancient and Modern received an order from Breaking Yi.
Soon, he went to find Broken Yi.
"Ancient and modern, now that the monarch has died, what should we do?"
Seeing Broken Gu in the future, Broken Yi immediately asked.
He knew that the army stationed outside now was the Praetorian Guard, and now that the monarch had died, it was very likely that the Praetorian Guard who had guarded them before would be transferred.
Therefore, he was very worried that he would be involved in a palace coup d'état.
"Family master, don't worry, those troops outside are responsible for protecting us!"
"Oh, that's good!"
Now Duan Yi was in a cold sweat, and he knew that he had been involved in the palace coup.
Although he didn't know what was wrong with the court, he knew that the monarch would not die for no reason, there must be a conspiracy behind it, and he would even be beheaded if he was not careful.
Seeing Duan Yi's performance, Duan Yi knew that the coup d'état in the palace had made Duan Yi feel terrified.
His heart moved, and he asked, "Which friend of the master of the house is there?" and what is wrong with him?"
"He's okay now! I'm really worried right now, I wonder what will happen to one of my friends?"
A hint of horror flashed across Duan Yi's face.
Breaking the ancient and modern exhaled, he knew what the result of the broken family was in the previous life.
Of course, it was impossible for him to tell Xuan Yi what happened in the previous life.
"This palace coup came too suddenly, I hope that Prime Minister Cao Cheng has not yet made thorough preparations! Why did Prime Minister Cao Cheng launch a coup d'état so soon? Could it be that we exterminated the bandit gang before that made Prime Minister Cao Cheng feel frightened and made him realize that he had to strike first?"
His eyes flickered, his mind was spinning, and he was thinking about countermeasures.
It's just that so far, he can't think of a good countermeasure.
After returning to his room, he hurriedly began refining the poison pill.
"I think it's very likely that Uncle Seven Emperors has returned to the court to make Cao Dingtian feel terrified, and he wants to strike first! Plus Uncle Seven Emperor and I have exterminated that gang of robbers before, it is very likely that these two things made Cao Dingtian determined, he wants to strike first!"
After pondering for a while, I thought of this possibility.
The next day, the Seventh Emperor Uncle took Duan Gu and Jin to the Praetorian Guard, who was responsible for protecting the safety of the Duan family.
Seeing the three thousand Praetorian Guards in front of him, his eyes flashed, and he asked, "Do you believe that this army will obey your orders?"
"I don't believe it!"
The Seventh Emperor Uncle hurriedly shook his head in response.
I know what Uncle Seven Emperors mean in their words.
After all, the Praetorian Guard, which is now temporarily under the command of the Seventh Emperor Uncle, used to only obey the monarch, not the Seventh Emperor Uncle.
In addition, Uncle Seven Emperor had only parachuted here, and he had never communicated with the personnel of this army before.
If the newly appointed Fourteenth Prince asked him to hand over the military power of this army, he could not fail to do so.
As long as he surrenders the military power of this army, it means that he can no longer be in charge of the army from now on.
This is a fatal blow to the Seventh Emperor Uncle if he wants to defeat Cao Dingtian in the future.
Therefore, Uncle Seven Emperor came to the camp with Duan Gujin.
Just outside the camp, the Seven Emperor Uncles discussed with the ancient and modern times.
"Breaking the past and the present, can you poison the three commanders of this army?"
Uncle Seven Emperor asked.
"Yes, it's not a problem at all!" Broken Gujin nodded vigorously.
Even if the Seventh Emperor Uncle didn't say it, he would try his best to control the 3,000 Praetorian Guards who protected the broken family.
It turned out that just yesterday, when Uncle Seven Emperor sent Gu Jin out, he asked him to refine some more poison pills that could control people.
For this request of the Seven Emperor Uncles, he didn't even think much about it, and immediately agreed.
"We are now grasshoppers on the same rope, we can only advance and retreat together, and we will face difficulties together!" If we don't work together, we will be wiped out by Cao Dingtian's evil thief!"
"Yes, yes!" Uncle Seven nodded hurriedly.
