Chapter 30 - Guangjun Cangwu (Moon Phoenix)

Li Dan, the prime minister of Qi State, in addition to his most famous eldest son, Li Fu, the general of the army, naturally has other children. www.biquge.info It's just that his other sons and daughters are not very outstanding, and they don't have the name and status of Li Fu. However, after all, they are also the children of the prime minister and the later regent, and their status is naturally not very low, although in many cases they may not be able to grasp the military power or the political rights that others particularly want, but at least they are also considered to be people with prestige and status in the dynasty, and the official positions they hold will naturally not be very low. It's just a pity that Li Dan only has two sons, in addition to the eldest son, the general Li Fu, the second son Li Ruo serves as a county magistrate in the deputy county town near Xuancheng, although the position is not high, it can be regarded as an existence with actual power. He also consciously does his duty very consciously in ordinary times, not high-profile or outstanding, and his limelight has naturally been robbed by his brother Li Fu, and many officials who are still watching the situation have defected to Li Fu's disciples and become Li Fu's henchmen and guests. Li Ruo usually watched from the sidelines, and did not plan to participate in the "grand cause" of his father and brother. Li Dan didn't bother to care about him, so he simply squeezed him out of the core decision-making circle.

Compared with Li Dan's two sons, his daughters are still slightly more. The first three of the four daughters are married and are not in Xuancheng. Among them, the eldest daughter even married the backbone members of the feudal war at the beginning of the feudal state, that is, the henchmen of the Holy Emperor; the second and third daughters married to famous families in Qi respectively, and Li Fu used his three daughters to successfully gather a lot of forces that supported him. Even, he secretly received the secret support of the Holy Emperor, but now that the "White-clothed Heavenly Maiden" forces within the feudal kingdom have risen strongly, in some cases, it has already obstructed Li Dan's foreign aid plan, so that he has to start his own plan alone.

Li Dan's youngest daughter is a little daughter he only got when he was old, and now she is fourteen or fifteen years old, and everyone who knows understands that Li Dan loves his little daughter to the extreme, no matter when or where he will take and protect his little daughter. Even, he once brought his youngest daughter to the court, which once made others have a lot of opinions about him. Now, although Li Dan no longer does such an outrageous thing, anyone with a discerning eye knows that he loves his little daughter to the point of immenseness.

It's just because of this love that Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, who have mastered the power of the Demon Spirit Secret Envoy, have seized an indescribable opportunity. So, the two of them used the secret agents of the Demon Spirit Secret Envoy to successfully bring out the little daughter and her mother who were still in Prime Minister Li Dan's mansion and took them into their own hands. and even used Li Dan's youngest daughter to directly threaten the deacons in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, so that they did not dare to go forward to report the news, which was to put the Prime Minister's Mansion in their hands in disguise. And Li Dan, he didn't think of these at this time, he was completely immersed in the supreme feeling of being about to ascend the throne and add the emperor's yellow robe, and he didn't expect that his prime minister's mansion would be easily taken down.

At this time, Li Fu had already temporarily left 50,000 troops in Xuancheng City, and he only brought more than 100 personal guards into the palace to meet his father and report a series of gains and battle processes on the Xuanling Continent. Naturally, he would not have thought that someone would plan an earth-shattering coup d'état under his father's nose, and the main figure in this positive change turned out to be the former monarch of Qi State, Xuan Lejun.

The location of the Xuancheng Palace can have a bird's-eye view of the entire Xuancheng, mainly because the location of the Xuancheng Palace is much higher than the rest of the Xuancheng City, and the Xuancheng Palace built on the high ground can be said to occupy a favorable location, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In normal times, as long as the most elite Purple Gold Forbidden Army was placed on the wall of the Xuancheng Palace, 10,000 people would be enough to resist the attack of tens of thousands of soldiers. However, Li Dan did not master the Purple Gold Forbidden Army, and the main reason for this was that the Purple Gold Forbidden Army had been unconditionally loyal to the Tian family, the royal family of Qi State, since its establishment. Even if the monarch Xuan Lejun was no longer in the country a few years ago, the Zijin Forbidden Army was still loyal to the royal family, and they could still be used to maintain law and order in peacetime, but if Li Dan wanted to launch a coup d'état, he would not need them anyway. In desperation, Li Dan could only transfer the Zijin Forbidden Army out of the Xuancheng Imperial Palace, turn the Zijin Forbidden Army in the palace into a patrol force in Xuancheng, and exchange the patrol battalion loyal to him to take over the defense of the Xuancheng Imperial Palace.

Li Dan originally had a wishful thinking, and the two main forces he used to deal with in a coup d'état were the Zijin Forbidden Army, which he couldn't recruit, and the other was the members of the Tian family, the royal family of Qi who were still in Xuancheng, Li Dan knew very well that these royal family members would never be loyal to him, and if he wanted to ascend the throne and become emperor, he must get rid of all of them in this coup d'état, so as to be able to get rid of future troubles forever.

So naturally, Li Dan not only chose to transfer the Zijin Forbidden Army out of the Xuancheng Palace, but also used the patrol battalion loyal to him to start closely monitoring the children of the Tian family who were still living in the Xuancheng Palace, so that they could not communicate with the outside world, and could only be tightly controlled by him in the palm of his hand. As for the children of the royal family who live in Xuancheng City and do not live in the palace, Li Dan does not dare to move them rashly now, after all, these royal family members all hold a certain amount of power, and they are not existences that he can easily eliminate and remove. Li Dan thought about it, but he could only launch a palace rebellion first, and then launch a political purge to get rid of them, and when the time came, the Zijin Forbidden Army could only choose to be loyal to him. In this way, the emperor's business can be accomplished, and then use the infighting of the white-clothed heavenly maiden and the feudal war to destroy the feudal country and unify the Demon Spirit Continent, he will complete what no emperor of the Qi country has done, every time he thinks of this, Li Dan's mood is extremely comfortable and happy, as if he has returned to his high-spirited self when he first entered the palace, and everything is immediately in his hands.

Now, everything is unfolding step by step according to Li Dan's original plan, his son led 50,000 troops back, these 50,000 troops loyal to him are enough to deal with the Zijin Forbidden Army that does not know how to move in the city now, these two armies can be said to be almost the same elite in some cases, but the number of 50,000 troops far exceeds the Zijin Forbidden Army that is now left in Xuancheng City, and the numerical advantage of more than twice is enough to suppress the Zijin Forbidden Army. So that he no longer has to worry about the situation of the Purple Gold Forbidden Army, and then, as long as he waits for his son Li Fu to enter the Xuancheng Palace, the real plan can be launched.

Li Dan stood on the square in front of the Taiji Hall of the Xuancheng Imperial Palace, followed by a large number of patrol battalion soldiers loyal to him and countless maids and eunuchs, and he had now summoned all the civil and military officials of the previous dynasty to come here, ready to witness this historic moment when he officially became His Majesty the Emperor of Qi. Most of these officials have already sworn allegiance to him, and only a small number of civil and military officials have not expressed their position, obviously wanting to wait and see for a while. Li Dan's main purpose in opening this court meeting now is to let these officials, who have not yet made a clear statement, understand who is the leader of Qi State, and let them stop struggling with these meaningless things.

Now that the civil and military officials are also arriving one after another, Li Dan directly issued an order to order them to return to the Taiji Hall first and wait for the news, and now it is his own son who is returning after all, and it is natural for him to wait here. In fact, his main intention was to talk to his son about the current situation, so that he could immediately start dispatching the 50,000 troops under his command to secretly wipe out the Zijin Forbidden Army, after all, the Zijin Forbidden Army was the orthodox escort army of the Qi royal family, and it was difficult for ordinary troops to defeat them. Only the numerical superiority coupled with the surprise can get rid of this army, which Li Dan called "a big trouble".

Half an hour later, Li Fu appeared at the end of the square in front of the Taiji Hall with more than 100 of his closest guards, followed by Qian Rong, a strategist who was very relied on by their father and son, but unlike the confident performance of Li Dan and Li Fu's father and son now, Qian Rong's performance at this time was still very calm and indifferent, and he was always so serious and careful. At this time, Qian Rong already felt a little nervous, after all, Li Fu only had more than 100 guards around him, and Li Dan only had hundreds of guards from the patrol battalion here to protect, this moment was the best time to do it, once some ill-intentioned people wanted to get rid of Li Dan and Li Fu's father and son, they only needed to secretly dispatch back more than 100 Zijin Forbidden Army, with the Zijin Forbidden Army's combat effectiveness far superior to that of the patrol battalion, it was easy to launch the most critical coup d'état, this is the most dangerous scene now, once someone really plots against him, I am afraid this is the best time。

Qian Rong thought of this, he couldn't help but secretly leave a little cold sweat on the top of his head, his own heart was like a mirror, he helped Li Dan and Li Fu father and son do too many things that others could not tolerate, he knew very well that if he lost the big tree of Li Dan and Li Fu, he would probably die without a place to be buried. So, without any hesitation, Qian Rong immediately leaned into Li Fu's ear and whispered: "General, if someone with bad intentions does something to you now, now is the best time, General, you must guard against it...................

If it were a normal thing, Li Fu might have paid attention to his words and took the initiative to pay attention to the surrounding environment, but now Li Fu's main attention was on the fact that his father was about to ascend the throne and become emperor, and he did not take Qian Rong's reminder to heart. "You are too worried, now that the Xuancheng Palace is in the hands of my father's patrol battalion, how can someone make a move on us here, isn't this just self-defeating, you don't have to worry too much, go directly to see my father with me, my father praises you................"
