The Emperor's head slowly drooped, and a faint smile spread across his sickly face, as if he were in a sweet dream.

Jin Xuan is a top powerhouse in the second-grade realm, and his internal strength is even deeper than that of Xingdaorong.

With his strength, he can actually clearly perceive that the emperor's soul lamp has been extinguished.

This man, whom he had taken care of all his life, left him completely and never returned.

At this time, Jin Xuan also felt a chill.

As soon as Emperor Jingyang died, he became the loneliest person in the entire palace.

In fact, it must be a pity that the emperor couldn't see Princess Wushuang and Su Xuan for the last time.

He must have a lot of things to say to Princess Wushuang and Su Xuan, and there are still a lot of things he wants to explain to them.

It's a pity......

"Your Majesty, the light is too dim, the old slave will add another lamp for you, otherwise it will not be good for your eyes."

I added a lamp and placed it on the left hand side of the emperor.

Then he knelt down towards the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the old slave retires."

After getting up, as usual, he took three steps back, and then turned to leave.

Walk out of the study.

Jin Xuan looked back again, it was brightly lit, and the emperor was still sitting in the imperial study, as usual.

Jin Xuan took a deep breath.

Then a long howl resounded through the palace.

"Your Majesty, it's time to die!"

Those who heard the words, whether they were eunuchs and palace maids, all knelt down in the direction from which the voice came.

The first group of royals quickly rushed over and knelt outside the imperial study.

Outside the palace.

Lingwang's Mansion.

Xiao Chong received the news of the emperor's death as soon as possible.

The five Praetorian Guard commanders rushed to the Lingwang Mansion.

100,000 Praetorian Guards in Beijing,

There were five commanders, each in five barracks. The five commanders directly obey the emperor and do not obey the orders of others.

In addition to the 100,000 Praetorian Guards, there are also 3,000 internal guards.

These two forces are both absolute forces vying for the throne.

Xiao Chong has been in business, and he has been working in Beijing for so many years.

He knows who can control and who can't.

He never wooed Wenchen, nor did he form gangs.

This is because the strength of the ministers of the DPRK and China is too modest. This is also because Emperor Jingyang's emperor controls it well.

However, before Xiao Chong went down to Jiangnan last year, the emperor still did not issue an order to establish a prince, and Xiao Chong also began to secretly win over these Janissary commanders.

The five commanders of the forbidden army are loyal to the Great Yan Emperor, not to any one emperor in particular.

Emperor Jingyang collapsed, and they had to be loyal to the new monarch.

Xiao Chong's brothers and sisters have their own abilities.

The second prince is far away in southern Xinjiang and poses no threat to the throne.

The third princess is in charge of the Ouchi guards, and the most is close to the water. Moreover, the ability of the third princess is also good.

At first, Xiao Chong thought about wooing the third princess, but he still felt that the third princess still couldn't be involved in such a thing as competing for the throne.

What if she also covets the throne of the monarch?

Emperor Jingyang often said, who said that women are inferior to men.

And he attaches great importance to the third and fourth princesses, and he clearly has the idea of setting up a female emperor for Emperor Dayan.

Then there are the four princesses.

The war between Qingzhou and Yuecheng has just ended, and the fourth princess is on her way back to Beijing.

This time, the Wushuang Army fought on two fronts, breaking the Tiance Army and the Longwei Army.

The ability of the unequaled princess can also be imagined.

And she's around too

There is a peerless genius Su Xuan, and her comprehensive strength is far stronger than that of Jing Gong.

Sometimes, personal ability is indeed the ability to turn the tide.

Former

There was the Emperor of the Apocalypse, although he was relentless, but he laid an unprecedented open territory for the Great Yan Dynasty.

Later, there was Emperor Jingyang, who with the strength of one person, forcibly stopped the decline of the Great Yan Dynasty.

In just thirteen years in power, he forcibly continued the life of the Great Yan Dynasty and preserved the declining Great Yan Kingdom.

And the Su Xuan next to Princess Wushuang is so capable and loyal to Princess Wushuang.

Maybe Emperor Jingyang had already thought about helping Xiao Jinghan to ascend to the throne.

Therefore, for Xiao Chong, his most powerful opponent is Xiao Jinghan, followed by Xiao Xinrou who is close to the water, and then Xiao Yi, who has almost no hope.

Now that Xiao Chong has mastered the Praetorian Guard, although he doesn't know what the content of the emperor's edict is, he can be sure that the emperor already has an edict.

So Xiao Chong now has two choices.

First, no matter whose name is written on the edict, he must change it to his own name, ascend the throne as emperor, and proclaim it to the world.

In this way, whether it is Xiao Yi who is far away in the sky, or Xiao Jinghan, who is about to return to the court, he is powerless to return to the sky.

And Xiao Chong can also sit on the throne.

If Xiao Jinghan launches a mutiny after returning to the palace, he will be a thief and will be targeted on the pillar of shame in history.

However, there is one of the biggest problems with this.

Xiao Jinghan has military power in his hands, and there is also a Su Xuan. Su Xuan has outstanding ability and power. With him assisting Xiao Jinghan, Xiao Jinghan will definitely become the next Xingdao Rong and the biggest obstacle on his way to imperial power.

And, in time, Xiao

Jing Han's power may even be even greater than him.

At that time, the imperial power will not be able to control Xiao Jinghan, and whether he has enough ability to fight with Xiao Jinghan in the open and secret like his father's power to dismantle the power of Xingdaorong, and he will be able to fight to the death.

After Xiao Jinghan grows stronger, and he, Xiao Chong, may only choose to be a puppet emperor.

This is not what Xiao Chong wants.

What he wants is the supreme imperial power, a power that no one can control.

Jiao Zhao is called the emperor, for Xiao Chong, he can only stabilize for a while, but he can't stabilize for a lifetime.

The second option, he first let the Praetorian Guards control the palace and keep it secret.

Xiao Jinghan, Su Xuan and others can enter the city, but the Wushuang Army cannot enter the city.

And without the emperor's summons, except for the few people around Xiao Jinghan who could enter and leave the palace freely, no one else could enter the palace.

He can wait for Xiao Jinghan to come back, ambush the soldiers in the palace gate, and kill Xiao Jinghan in one fell swoop to prevent future troubles.

Then, he ascended the throne and became emperor.

Without Xiao Jinghan's confidant, his throne can be stable.

As for Su Xuan, if he is willing to submit, he can also make good use of Su Xuan's talent and help him govern the country.

If Su Xuan is obsessed, then kill him one by one!

The second option can only be said to be the last option, but it is more beneficial in the long run.

Moreover, the Praetorian Guard is in the hands of Xiao Chong, and he has full initiative.

Killing Xiao Jinghan is just a piece of cake.

Xiao Chong decisively chose the second option.

"Quickly seal off the palace and the capital, and don't leak the slightest rumor!"
