Chapter 440: The Imperial Capital
Yang Qin and Huang Zhengchu each other, each with their own ghosts, and they also have their own things to rely on, and they all looked at each other and sneered earnestly at each other, and did not say a word.
To say that the emperor has the advantage at the beginning of the year, if it is purely for the throne, he can lead the army to attack the imperial capital in one fell swoop, kill Yang Qin, and ascend to the emperor's throne to be captured, and there is no need to say these nonsense to Yang Qin.
However, Yang Qin is not a fool, he dares to do such a thing, there must be his dependence; before the three kings fought in front of the imperial capital, Yang Qin was left and right in the imperial capital, delaying time as much as possible, in order to grasp his own life-saving straw.
He was originally the commander of the Imperial Guard, and while gaining the trust of the emperor, he also knew many secrets of the Qitian Empire, and he was able to take advantage of the turmoil of the three kings to rashly attack and besiege the emperor and the king of the east in the inner city, but also because the secret was determined, and the emperor was indeed lax, which succeeded in one fell swoop.
It's just that after breaking the gate of the imperial capital, the emperor suddenly caused the fighting qi in his body to explode and seriously injured him, which affected his plan to a certain extent, but he once again used the psychology of the three kings to earn himself a lot of time.
The Qitian Empire can expand rapidly from a small country, and it has been standing for three hundred years, although it is not unrelated to the Ancestral Training of Qitian, but relying on the Ancestral Training alone, it is absolutely impossible to achieve this.
Yang Qin, after entering the imperial capital, slowly came into contact with people at the peak of power, and only understood this.
Praying for heaven, there is a secret of praying for heaven, and this secret is in the imperial capital.
Now, he has mastered these secrets, and these secrets have also forced Huang Zhengchu to directly attack the imperial capital and kill himself, which involves the inheritance of the throne of the Heavenly Emperor.
During the confrontation between the three kings, Yang Qin set off a bloody storm in the imperial capital, and finally talked about finding out the secret of praying for heaven.
Pray for the luck of the Heavenly Empire, the core cultivation exercises and inheritance.
This was a bit out of Yang Qin's expectations, he probably knew a little bit about the core exercises of the Imperial Family of the Prayer Heaven Empire, and in the process of lurking, he also knew how to use some of them, such as the Dancing Sky Trapped Dragon and the Broken Dragon Fist. These exercises can only be practiced by core members above the royal family, but Yang Qin used his own means to learn a few tricks.
He had always thought that the cultivation exercises at the core of Qitian would be a classic or a lineage, but when he opened the secret room in Qitian City, he was still stunned by the scene in front of him.
There, there was a formation, a dazzling and dazzling formation.
He tried to touch the formation, but was bounced back, and no matter what means he used, he couldn't get into it. In the end, he ran the Heavenly Prayer Technique and tried again, and the formation only changed slightly, although it was not enough for him to enter it, but the situation that he spied on the outside was enough to shock him.
Within this small formation, he could clearly see that it was divided into several different levels, and he could only see the outermost layer and the back barriers.
On the outermost layer, there is a broken battle armor, which is a broken and colorful battle armor. During his attack on the imperial capital, this armor once appeared, and was destroyed by him using a large number of cultivators, but it was unexpectedly placed here.
In addition, in the first layer of the formation, there are several golden characters written on it: The one who opens the fourth layer is the emperor.
This formation is probably the core secret of the Prayer Heaven Empire.
Yang Qin's eyes froze, in the process of his plot to rebel, he had heard that the succession to the throne of Qitian was a little different from what he originally envisioned, and it was not the last order of the emperor, and the selection of the prince of Qitian had to go through some assessment.
But it wasn't until he stood in this formation that he understood that the assessment of this Heavenly Prince actually relied on this formation to achieve.
Later, Yang Qin tried again for a long time, no matter what method he used, he couldn't crack this formation, I am afraid that it is because he is not a Qitian bloodline, and he has no general
The exercises are cultivated to an extremely high level. However, Rao is like this, a plan, but slowly sketched out in his heart.
First of all, Yang Qin captured all the royal family members in the imperial capital, there were not many royal family members in the imperial capital, after all, the emperor at that time was only in his twenties, in addition to the concubines in his harem, there were only two people who had a direct blood relationship with him, his two younger brothers, Huaiwang Huang Yuchen, and King Jing Huang Taiqing.
After the emperor died, he was the first to ascend to the throne, and after the emperor gained the advantage, he contacted Yang Qin and asked him to kill the two to pave the way for him to ascend to the throne, but Yang Qin did not do so.
He now holds the core secret of Qitian in his hand, and he can be sure that at the beginning of the Northern Emperor's reign, he absolutely does not know that the succession to the imperial throne needs to be realized through a formation, and what he needs to do is to clear the island road for himself.
Thus, in the imperial capital, a highly targeted massacre began.
Civil and military officials, imperial generals, anyone who does not obey Yang Qin's will, no matter what grade, no matter how much he has contributed to the empire, these are of no use to Yang Qin, kill.
In the few months of confrontation between the three kings, the imperial capital has been shrouded in a thick blood mist, all those who oppose Yang Qin, those who have a lot of complaints, those who have a heart of resistance, and the ministers of the previous emperor's shares, were all killed by Yang Qin, and the whole family was old and young, and no one was left. In the imperial city, the emperor's concubines, imperial concubines, and everyone who might know the secret of Qitian's inheritance were all killed by Yang Qin.
The bloody wind and rain enveloped the entire imperial capital.
Because the gate of the imperial capital was closed, especially the inner city, there was no possibility of entering at all, so the news of the bloody storm in the city did not spread, when Huang Yongning mixed into the imperial capital, he only hurriedly glanced at the head of the East King hanging on the head of the city in the outer city, and immediately retreated.
In the end, Yang Qin chose the former between Huaiwang Huang Yuchen and Jingwang Taiqing, because the former was younger, less than twenty years old, and had a cowardly personality. Therefore, Yang Qin beheaded King Jing Taiqing, and after Huang Zhengchu's victory, he gave the head of King Jing Huang Taiqing to Huang Zhengchu.
At the same time, Yang Qin arranged for Emperor Yuchen to ascend the throne and became the new emperor of Qitian.
After the victory of the Three Kings Rebellion, according to his and Yang Qin's original plan, Yang Qin should open the city gate at this time to welcome Huang Zhengchu's troops into the imperial capital and let him ascend the throne smoothly, but Yang Qin changed his plan in order to save his life.
Although Huang Zhengchu has a tyrannical temperament, he attaches great importance to praying for the throne, and he also knows that it is not easy for him to be a vassal king and want to ascend to the throne justifiably and gain the recognition of the world. Although he had the heart to break Yang Qin's body into thousands of pieces, he could only endure it.
Therefore, Huang Zhengchu finally entered the imperial capital alone and met with Yang Qin, he was not worried about his personal safety at all, the army of the Northern Wangfu was outside the city, if he had any accidents, they would enter the imperial capital as soon as possible and kill everyone.
Yang Qin looked at Huang Zhengchu in front of him, with a hint of earnest smile on his face. Huang Zhengchu's purpose, he is very clear, he came for the throne, and his own purpose, Huang Zhengchu does not know at all, in Huang Zhengchu's opinion, Yang Qin's words are just to save his life.
For Yang Qin's past, Huang Zhengchu is naturally very clear, now pray for heaven and Qin Province all the people, several major cities have been completely prepared for defense, a large number of elite personnel in Wangqin have been arranged by Yang Qin to enter the imperial capital before, and now in Yang Qin's hands, there are also nearly 20,000 elite soldiers, these people are loyal to Yang Qin, and at the same time, they also have a deep hatred for the Qitian Empire.
Every time he thought of this, Huang Zhengchu wanted to laugh a little, he had always scoffed at the Prayer Heavenly Ancestor, and in the process of the expansion of the empire, he did not rush to kill everything
This is true for Wangqin, and it is also true for other small countries. There are not a few remnants of small countries who have hatred for Qitian, although there have been no major rebellions, but the current turmoil in the empire is caused by such a strategy.
If according to Huang Zhengchu's idea, conquest is conquest, and the small country that is conquered, the royal family will inevitably be wiped out, and if this is done, there will be no matter of Yang Qin now.
"You want the imperial capital? Huang Zhengchu looked at Yang Qin, with a tyrannical smile on his face, and said: "I came to the city to find you, for the sake of righteousness, don't think that if you set up an emperor, I can't do anything about you, history is written by people, as long as I attack the imperial capital, the throne is still mine, and you will also die." ”
When Huang Zhengchu said this, Yang Qin didn't have any waves in his heart, but the new emperor Yuchen, who was sitting on the throne, was really frightened. Although he is timid and cowardly, he is not a fool, he knows that Yang Qin's strength and the North King are definitely not at the same level, if the North King really attacks the imperial capital, don't talk about himself, Yang Qin doesn't want to live. Thinking of this, Huang Yuchen's body couldn't help but tremble, thinking of Yang Qin's bloodbath of the Huang clan before, he could completely imagine what would happen to him if Huang Zhengchu's army entered the city.
"The King of the North is really anxious, if you really think so in your heart, after I set up a new monarch, you have 10,000 reasons to attack the imperial capital, but in the end you didn't do it, but came alone, you and I know some things in our hearts, and now I say these things, isn't it rash?" The smile on Yang Qin's face was still the same, his face looked a little pale, maybe the previous injuries had not healed.
"On another condition. Huang Zhengchu didn't continue to speak, he was noncommittal and didn't refute Yang Qin's words, but his face became more and more ugly.
"What the Northern King has to think about now is not how to ascend to the throne and enter the imperial capital. Yang Qin said with a smile: "The emperor Yuanwu of the Eastern Prince's Mansion has led the army into the imperial capital, and the seven passes have passed, and what the Northern King wants to think about now should be the affairs of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, not my affairs." ”
"Dongwangfu?" Huang Zhengchu sneered when he heard this, and said: "The people in Dongwangfu are all a bunch of elm heads, even if he puts the throne in front of Huang Yuanwu, he doesn't dare to go up, what are you afraid of? Why don't I lead the army back a hundred miles now, and let you talk to him head-on?"
The North King laughed. Yang Qin replied quietly: "If the Northern King does this, I will notify Huang Yuanwu as soon as possible, let the new monarch abdicate, and give up the throne to the East Prince's Mansion, and I, Yang Qin, will be killed." ”
Yang Qin grasped Huang Zhengchu's thoughts, and now in such a situation, although he has the secret of praying for heaven and the new emperor, he is still vulnerable in the face of the troops of the North Wangfu and the East Wangfu. The Northern Emperor was the first to be on the throne, but the East Wangfu was different, he clearly knew that the purpose of the East Wangfu was only to kill himself. However, in such a matter, Huang Zhengchu will never give in. The throne in his hands flew like this, which was something that Huang Zhengchu absolutely did not want to face.
He knew very well the style of the East Palace, if Yang Qin really did this, if he wanted to ascend the throne, he would have to fight the East Palace head-on.
"Yang Qin, you are so calculating. began to use the other two princes to contain me, and now they are using the East Prince's Mansion to contain me, what, do you think in the end, you can live?" Huang Zhengchu's face sank, at present, he is here with Yang Qin, and he can't get any benefit, if the Dongwang Mansion army has not arrived at this moment, he still has a way, but now that it has arrived, he has to think about what may happen later.
"You're in for a treat. Yang Qin said with a smile: "So far, the North King still needs to cooperate with me, first take the East Wangfu, and then plan for the future." ”
Huang Zhengchu glanced at Yang Qin indignantly, and was noncommittal about what he said.
In the end, in such a strange atmosphere, the two reached a preliminary consensus: to deal with the East Palace.
