Chapter 311: The Past

Kneeling under the main hall are the only two remaining princes in the imperial capital, that is, the two younger brothers of the dead emperor, who were appointed as princes by the emperor, namely Huaiwang Huang Hongchou and Jingwang Huanghaoyan. These two people are also the only two candidates who can be the only one to become a great treasure after the emperor's death.

Even if Yang Qin has now taken the inner city of the imperial capital and controlled the entire palace, if he wants to be the emperor, it is simply a fool's dream.

First of all, praying for heaven is the emperor's world, in addition to the two princes in front of him, there are countless heirs with the surname of the emperor inside, and there are also the kings of the Quartet outside, all of whom are in the same vein as the emperor, even if the royal heirs of the imperial capital are dead, it will not be Yang Qin's turn to be the emperor. Moreover, the troops in his hands are only enough to occupy the inner city of the imperial capital, and he can't even occupy the entire imperial capital, let alone take advantage of the great treasure.

As for why Yang Qin rebelled, this matter is a long story.

Although the land of the Qitian Dynasty was active and extensive, the land was vast and the products were abundant; although the taxes were low, due to the emphasis on literature and light on military force, and the large number of people, most ordinary families also had a few literate people who knew the policies of the empire to support the people, and there were very few people who did not fulfill their taxes. In this way, the treasury of the Prayer Heaven Dynasty was full, and small countries from all over the world came to the court one after another. In this way, the small countries around the Qitian Dynasty became the vassal states of the Qitian Dynasty, and the kings of the vassal countries were also canonized by the Emperor of Qitian and named the royal family.

Yang Qin's hometown, Wangqin, is one of them.

Wangqin State implemented a severe punishment calendar at that time, and all the people were soldiers. The sergeants of the people take military merit as the most important, enter the army, and kill the enemy on the field, which is the rapid upward channel for the people of the Qin State. In just a few years, Wang Qin's territory more than doubled because of this decree, which also attracted the attention of the Qitian Dynasty.

The Qitian Dynasty ordered Wangqin to stop its expansion, dispersed the Wangqin army, incorporated it into the regular army of the dynasty, offered it every year, and called it a minister every year, and sent the son-in-law of the king of Wangqin at that time to enter Qitian City as a hostage. If they obey, the Qitian Dynasty will retain the title of Wangqin and incorporate the territory of Wangqin, and from then on, Wangqin will be part of the Qitian Dynasty and will no longer be a separate country. If they do not listen, the Qitian Empire will send a large army of Qitian to annihilate all the Wangqin army and then gain the territory of Wangqin.

At that time, the strength of Wangqin and Qitian was compared, like the yellow sand compared to the stars, the gap was so big that people could not reach it; in the end, Wangqin compromised and sent Wangqin's son-in-law, that is, the prince of the royal family, into Qitian City, as a hostage, the army was dispersed, and handed over to the Qitian Army, Wangqin's territory was all absorbed, and local officials became people from Qitian, and for a while, the glorious future that Wangqin saw was in vain.

At this time, the practice of the Qitian Dynasty at that time was understandable, and any powerful empire did not allow another military power to appear around it to threaten its position. The approach of the Qitian Dynasty was relatively gentle, and the emperor first issued an order, explaining the benefits and disadvantages, and striving for a peaceful settlement; if it was replaced by other powerful empires, it would directly send troops to sweep away the border war.

However, this practice of the Qitian Dynasty has buried huge hidden dangers for itself, and the Qitian Imperial Family did not expect that the ambitions of the Qin Empire are greater than they imagined.

The territory of Wangqin has become a province of Qitian, because the return of the Wangqin royal family, retained the previous title, the name of Wangqin has not changed; with the passage of time, the royal power has changed, the times have changed, seventy years have passed, the Qitian royal family has completely forgotten, Wangqin was once the territory of another country, and the Wangqin royal family is the family of tigers and wolves.

In the past 70 years, the emperor of the Qitian Dynasty has changed twice, and the rule of the empire is still the same as before, the four princes' mansions have expanded on the border, and the imperial capital has collected territory to appease the people;

In the year 287 of the Prayer Heaven Calendar, the Emperor of Prayer died and his eldest son succeeded to the throne at the age of nine.

When the little emperor ascended the throne, the Wangqin State no longer had to send the prince as a hostage, and the hereditary prince;

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

, Wangqin gradually gained the rights of its own sphere of influence, such as military, administrative, and tax-attached, and the officials sent by the empire were also slowly assimilated by the Wangqin royal family, and everything was considered for Wangqin.

And the king of Wangqin at this time is Yang Qin.

Yang Qinshi is a person with great courage, inherited the prince, and set a strategy to look at Qin's century-old blood feud, which is unforgettable. He actually put his younger brother on the throne, but he went to the Heavenly City and entered the Heavenly Emperor City in the name of the Qin clan. Because the Yitian royal family broke the order to look at the prince of Qin as a hostage, no one knew Yang Qin's true identity at this time. Yang Qin entered the Imperial City of Yitian, became a guard, and slowly gained the trust of the ruling class.

The first emperor died, leaving the little emperor with three auxiliary ministers, who were responsible for military affairs, internal affairs, and taxation. The intention of the first emperor was to assist the young emperor and inherit the ancestral business;

At the beginning, the three of them were conscientious and dedicated to their duties, and did their best to maintain the situation of the dynasty. But after two dynasties, the imperial atmosphere has long been different from what it used to be, and extravagance has become the norm. Although the three of them tried their best, they could not turn the tide, and in addition, the lord Shaoguo was suspicious, and the court was unstable, so the three of them worked hard to maintain the situation and worked hard.

Over time, the great power also corroded the hearts of the three people, and while maintaining the situation of the empire, the ministers from all walks of life also slowly formed three factions, which were brought together under the command of the three people, and slowly formed three forces in the court. There was a miasma of smoke in the court for a while, and the court became a place for the courtiers of the three factions to quarrel every day. The little emperor had a headache about this, but the new emperor ascended the throne, he was young, and he had no henchmen and cronies of his own, and the little emperor was helpless.

This situation gave Yang Qin a chance, and slowly, in the heart of the little emperor, Yang Qin, the imperial guard, became his confidant. In order to solve the matter of the auxiliary minister, the emperor asked Yang Qin every time, and Yang Qin offered advice, so that the emperor indulged the three of them and gradually delegated power, making them more and more arrogant.

The Imperial Guards are the Emperor's direct army, responsible for guarding the royal city, and are also the most elite army in the Empire. The emperor has the right to directly call in the Imperial Forest, and the plan is set, just waiting for the opportunity to put an end to the dispute between the party and the henchmen in one fell swoop.

Most of the military power of the Qitian Empire was in the hands of the imperial family, and the four major border palaces of the dynasty guarded the four borders of the empire. The new emperor ascended the throne, the child was young, and the three kings were heavily armed, ready to move. In addition, the three ministers of Gu Ming formed a party for personal gain, and were not afraid of imperial power, so the three royal families began to lead troops into Beijing and raise troops to serve the king.

Of course, King Qin is just a disguise, and each royal family has its own ghosts, and only thinks about the Qing monarch and replaces him.

For a time, pray for the Heavenly Dynasty, and the wind and rain are coming.

Before, the three princes' mansions were all conspiring, and it was only recently that under the leadership of the Northern Prince's Mansion, they really started to do it.

The western royal family took the lead in sending troops, under the banner of the Qing monarch's side, led an army of 200,000, and went straight to the imperial city, and the two palaces in the north and south also led the troops to echo, leading 200,000 troops respectively, and went straight to the imperial city.

At this point, the East King Xiushu could not persuade him, so he could only gather all the elite combat power of the East King Mansion and rush to the imperial capital, hoping to calm the war.

Because of something, the prayer court, the three parties, quarreled again. The quarrel intensified, and there was a posture of making a big move, and the emperor sat on the dragon chair, his brows furrowed.

The plan set by the emperor and Yang Qin, at this time the time has come, and when the court is arguing inextricably, the Imperial Forest Army suddenly kills and directly kills the three ministers, and the other servants are all pressed under the court and kneeling in front of the emperor.

With the help of Yang Qin, the little emperor used the Imperial Forest Army to uproot the strength coefficient of the ministers in the imperial city with lightning speed, and the action was so fast that it was astonishing.

The emperor quelled the rebellion of his henchmen, exterminated the nine clans with the main culprit, and the others were either demoted to three levels or exiled to the frontier, which was considered to be the end of the court's affairs. Yang Qin also made great contributions because of this, and became the general of the Imperial Forest Army and the emperor's confidant.

More than a month after the end of the rebellion, the king of the east has led his troops to the imperial city, and the king of the east ordered the whole army to camp outside the city, and he went to the inner city to meet the emperor.

The emperor has long known that the other three kings have led troops to Beijing, at this time the imperial city is empty, only tens of thousands of imperial forest troops, really fighting, there is no chance of winning, the king of the east came here, he has also obtained a new army, the other three kings when they arrive, there is also the capital to speak.

The emperor ordered the king of the east to be stationed outside the city and wait for the other three royal families.

After a few days, the other three kings led a large army to reach the imperial city, and the Yu Emperor set up camp more than 100 miles outside the capital. The emperor sent envoys to the court and ordered the three kings to enter the court to meet them.

The three kings already had their own ghosts, and at this time the emperor ordered, how could they enter the palace to meet him, and the 200,000 troops of the East Wangfu guarded the imperial city.

On the occasion of the hesitation of the three kings, the east king came to the three kings of Dazhai respectively, personally persuaded the three kings to withdraw their troops back to the pass, and met the emperor, at this time the rebellion of the party in the court has been calmed, it can be seen that the emperor is brave and strategic, willing to take on the great responsibility, the three kings have the holy decree urging before, and the brothers persuade them, plus they don't know what the other kings think, their own 200,000 troops, against a million army, there is no possibility of victory, so they agreed to come down, ordered to go back, enter the court by themselves, and meet the emperor.

When the emperor saw the three kings, he did not punish him, but only said a few words of hard work, saying that a few people were meritorious to the king, and rewarded the children of each family, which was calmed down.

Just as the three kings withdrew their troops, they were raided by the army, and the army wore the clothes of the Dongwang Legion, used the weapons of the Dongwang Legion, and killed them when they entered the camp.

The three kings were immediately shocked, and when they learned that they had been deceived, they organized their own soldiers to resist, and the army immediately reversed course and rushed straight to the emperor.

This matter was Yang Qin's secret strategy, and he ordered the Qin army to disguise itself as the Dongwang Army and raid the Three Kings Army, causing misunderstanding within the imperial family, setting off a war, and reaping the benefits.

The emperor didn't know why the three kings transferred their legions to kill, Yang Qin offered a plan to fight head-on, and the emperor ordered the Imperial Forest Army to join the battle, and ordered the king of the east to return to the imperial capital.

After that, the army of the three kings and the army of the East Wangfu confronted each other, and the three kings had their own ghosts and were unwilling to act rashly, and the East Wangfu was weak and could not take the initiative to attack.

Things have developed to this point, the emperor is not a fool, he knows very well that there may be a spies around him, intending to provoke chaos in the heavens.

Therefore, he transferred all the generals around him out of the inner city, and secretly sent a secret envoy to order the king of the east to enter the inner city of the imperial capital and take over the city defense.

This is also the reason why the king of the east led his troops to the king, but suddenly appeared in the inner city.

Yang Qin deliberately provoked the rebellion in the heavens, the purpose was to avenge Qin's blood feud, although this person handed over the throne of Wangqin to his brother, but he was still the patriarch of Wangqin, in Wangqin State, above 10,000 people.

He waited for this opportunity for thirteen years, and this year is the 300th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the thirteenth year of the new emperor's accession to the throne.

His long-planned plan will also come to fruition this year.

Yang Qin took advantage of his position to install many dead soldiers who looked at Qin in the imperial capital.

At the same time, because the emperor was suspicious, he transferred all his subordinate Imperial Forest Army to the outside of the city, leaving only the most trusted Dongwang troops to stay in the inner city, which gave Yang Qin a golden opportunity.

Once attacked, he attacked the Royal Forest Military Camp, annihilated the Royal Forest Army, and at the same time opened the secret door of the imperial capital, and welcomed the dead soldiers who had been prepared by Wangqin Province into the city and converged in one place. Fierce battle with the East King's troops in the imperial city, forcing the East King to lead his subordinates to retreat to the inner city, becoming a turtle in the urn.

The poor generation of the East King, who died on the battlefield, and the 200,000 troops outside the city, under the command of Ning Yi, dispersed and evacuated, and left Qitian City.

The imperial capital was lost, but the three kings outside the city had their own ghosts, just the big treasure. The dragons of the East Wangfu had no leader and could only retreat.

Yang Qin won the three-hundred-year-old imperial capital of Qitian in one fell swoop, and avenged Qin's revenge for destroying the country.
