Chapter 172: Forcing the Palace
"What! What are you talking about? The Prince's Mansion sent a distress signal!" Xuanyuan Qingyun received the report from the dark night, his face became extremely hideous, at this moment he finally understood why those families besieged his palace and did not attack, thinking of the safety of the prince's mansion, Xuanyuan Qingyun immediately ordered to the dark night: "Dark night! you immediately go and ask a few worshippers, let them leave the palace through the secret passage of the palace, and immediately go to support the prince's mansion for me, you help me sue them, you must rescue the prince at any cost." ”
"Father, you don't have to send people, no matter how many people you send, it is impossible not to save Xuanyuan Jinkang. Just when Xuanyuan Qingyun was about to send someone to rescue Xuanyuan Jinkang, Xuanyuan Zixuan, accompanied by the black tiger and the green snake, walked into Xuanyuan Qingyun's study.
Xuanyuan Qingyun saw that Xuanyuan Zixuan had entered his study with two monks without being informed, his face couldn't help but change, and he suddenly crossed in front of Xuanyuan Zixuan, waved his slap and instinctively threw it over, and scolded angrily: "You rebel who eats inside and out! ”
The expected slap did not sound in the study, Xuanyuan Qingyun's wrist was tightly held by the black tiger, Xuanyuan Zixuan looked at Xuanyuan Qingyun who was full of anger and wanted to kill, and said to Xuanyuan Qingyun without cutting it: "Father! I will be like this, and you forced it, if it weren't for your partiality, I wouldn't be on your opposite side, you are old, it's better to abdicate and rest!"
"Humph!"
Xuanyuan Qingyun didn't expect that the two monks who accompanied Xuanyuan Zixuan would be able to easily clasp his wrists, making him unable to move, which made him clearly realize that the two monks who accompanied Xuanyuan Zixuan were at least three rank spirit kings or above.
Xuanyuan Qingyun, who realized that he couldn't take Xuanyuan Zixuan anymore. He let out a cold snort angrily and questioned Xuanyuan Zixuan, "Rebel son, do you think that if you kill the crown prince, you will be able to become the queen of the empire? As long as I have a breath of air, you won't succeed. ”
Facing Xuanyuan Qingyun's angry rebuke. Xuanyuan Zixuan didn't pay attention to it at all, and asked Xuanyuan Qingyun with a smile: "Father, because of the plan planned by you and Xuanyuan Jinkang, our royal family in the country has been completely isolated by the family, and the Fusang Empire and the Hidden Dragon Empire are eyeing us, do you think you still have the ability to control this country?"
If I can't control this country, then you don't want to control this country, even if our Xuanyuan family is wiped out, you don't want to be the queen of this country. Although what Xuanyuan Zixuan said was indeed true, Xuanyuan Qingyun did not think that he could not solve the current predicament. He refuted Xuanyuan Zixuan's words without cutting back.
If Xuanyuan Zixuan used her own ability, she really couldn't control this country, but she had Wu Hanqi to rely on, as long as Wu Hanqi supported her, she was fully capable of controlling this country, so when she heard Xuanyuan Qingyun's ridicule, she replied with a smile: "Father, don't worry, all the families now support me to become the queen of the empire, even if you don't agree." You can't stop me from ascending the throne, and the reason why I will persuade you to take the initiative to abdicate is just for the sake of our father and daughter, leaving you a little face. ”
Xuanyuan Qingyun learned that the family forces supported Xuanyuan Zixuan to become the queen. With an extremely unshaven expression on his face again, he sneered at Xuanyuan Zixuan: "Rebel son, do you really think that with the support of any family, you will be able to control the power of the empire? It's just a puppet. ”
"Besides, the reason why those families will support you is nothing more than interests. What you can give, I can give to them. And what you can't give them, I can still give them, and if I'm willing to sit down and talk to those families, do you think those families will still support you?"
Xuanyuan Zixuan didn't expect Xuanyuan Qingyun to be ready to negotiate peace with the family, if there was no matter of the Black Eagle Village bandits, she would indeed be worried, but now those families hate the royal family to the core, no matter how rich the conditions Xuanyuan Qingyun offers, I am afraid that it will not be able to move those families.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Zixuan laughed out loud and said to Xuanyuan Qingyun: "Father, do you really think that those families will reconcile with you by paying some price? Let me sue you! The Praetorian Guards pretended to be a mountain bandit in Black Eagle Village and robbed the caravan, almost all the families already knew about it, and now those families hate the royal family to the core, do you think they will reconcile with you?"
Xuanyuan Qingyun heard Xuanyuan Zixuan's words, his face couldn't help but change, he didn't expect that the Praetorian Guards pretending to be Black Eagle Village bandits to rob the family had already been known by those families, which meant that the family and the royal family would never die this time.
Do you want our Xuanyuan family to be wiped out so much? Don't forget, your surname is also Xuanyuan. When Xuanyuan Qingyun heard the news, his mood became very heavy, and he asked Xuanyuan Zixuan angrily.
Xuanyuan Zixuan heard Xuanyuan Qingyun's questioning, and replied to Xuanyuan Qingyun with a stern face: "Father, I just don't want to see our Xuanyuan family exterminated, so I will persuade you to abdicate, not to mention that you are no longer able to offer conditions that satisfy the family forces, even if you offer enough tempting conditions, because you and Xuanyuan Jinkang let the Praetorian Guards disguise the Black Eagle Village bandits to rob the caravan, so that those families don't believe you at all." ”
"And I'm different, although I'm also a member of the royal family, but I'm still Wu Hanqi's woman, there's one thing you don't know! Those families supported me to become the queen of the Shenwu Empire, and instead of putting forward any conditions, they also promised my man, and in the future, their caravans would take the initiative to pay a tax of 15% of the value of the goods. ”
"All family disciples, when they reach the age of sixteen, must enter the army to serve for three years, and during the war, the empire has the ability to recruit monks above the spiritual stage of each family to enter the army and participate in the war!"
"Father, now those families hate you to the core, if you abdicate, with me to coordinate, those families will not deal with our Xuanyuan family, if you must go your own way, then our Xuanyuan family will only be wiped out in the end, when the time comes, what kind of face will you have to face the ancestors and ancestors under the Nine Springs?"
Xuanyuan Qingyun didn't expect those families to support Xuanyuan Zixuan to become the queen, instead of putting forward conditions, they also took the initiative to pay taxes and agree to the family disciples' service, if those families would support him like this in the first place, why did he plan so many plans to target the family forces?
Seeing that Xuanyuan Qingyun was in a stupor because of the news she revealed, Xuanyuan Zixuan continued: "Father, there is something you don't know yet! The crown princess is happy, between power and the survival of the family, I hope you can think carefully." ”
"Yun'er, you abdicate and let Xuan'er inherit the throne! In this way, at least the master of this country is still our Xuanyuan family, if you insist on fighting those families to the end, if you don't talk about our Xuanyuan family at that time, I'm afraid this Shenwu Empire will no longer exist. Just when Xuanyuan Qingyun was obviously pondering, Xuanyuan Zixuan's grandfather, the previous emperor of the Shenwu Empire, Xuanyuan Getian, walked into the study from the outside and persuaded Xuanyuan Qingyun to give up the throne.
"Imperial grandfather, you're here!" Seeing Xuanyuan Ge Tian walk into the study from the outside, Xuanyuan Zixuan's face showed a look of surprise, and he greeted Xuanyuan Ge Tian respectfully.
Xuanyuan Getian saw Xuanyuan Zixuan greeting him, looked at Xuanyuan Zixuan with a stern face, and said, "Xuan'er, I haven't seen you for a few years, you really surprised the imperial grandfather!"
Of course, Xuanyuan Zixuan knew what Xuanyuan Getian meant by surprise, so she smiled helplessly, and replied to Xuanyuan Getian: "Imperial grandfather! ”
Xuanyuan Getian was also very dissatisfied with Xuanyuan Zixuan's forced palace, but at present, the contradictions between the royal family and the family have reached a situation where water and fire are incompatible, so he has to make a compromise and let Xuanyuan Qingyun abdicate and make way for Xian.
"Okay, I will abdicate! Let you be the first queen of the empire, but I hope that you need a promise from you, when you abdicate in the future, the successor to the throne must be someone from our Xuanyuan family. After some careful consideration, Xuanyuan Qingyun finally made a compromise.
Xuanyuan Zixuan originally thought that it would take a lot of words to make Xuanyuan Qingyun compromise, but she didn't expect the arrival of her imperial grandfather to make Xuanyuan Qingyun agree to abdicate so lightly, she heard Xuanyuan Qingyun's request, naturally understood that Xuanyuan Qingyun was worried about the future throne to change her surname, and then replied very simply: "Father, please rest assured, if I let my child succeed to the throne in the future, I will let his surname Xuanyuan, if I don't let my child succeed to the throne, I will let Xuanyuan Jinkang's child succeed to the throne." ”
The next morning, Xuanyuan Qingyun officially announced his abdication to make Xian, let Xuanyuan Zixuan serve as the first queen of the empire, the confrontation between the royal family and the family, because of Xuanyuan Zixuan's succession, finally calmed down, as a large number of people in the imperial capital moved back to the imperial capital from other places, so that the imperial capital, which had been depressed for several months, regained its former liveliness.
At the same time, the team of monks sent by the Hidden Dragon Empire also arrived at the Shenwu Empire, because of the strong backup, the Hidden Dragon Empire sent the envoy of the Shenwu Empire, Ruan Renwei, to meet with Xuanyuan Zixuan in the palace, and asked Xuanyuan Zixuan to fulfill the agreement between Xuanyuan Qingyun and their Hidden Dragon Empire, and sign an alliance contract with the Hidden Dragon Empire.
In the face of Ruan Renwei's request, Xuanyuan Zixuan directly said that it was a verbal agreement between her father and the Hidden Dragon Empire, and now that the country was in charge of her, the Hidden Dragon Empire agreed with her father that she would not recognize it, let alone ally with the Hidden Dragon Empire.
Xuanyuan Zixuan's refusal made Ruan Renwei very angry, and very arrogantly condemned Xuanyuan Zixuan for not keeping his promise, and threatened to send troops to crusade against the Shenwu Empire and make the Shenwu Empire pay a heavy price. (To be continued......)
