Chapter Ninety-Four: The Prince's Rebellion
These princes were all strong contenders for the crown prince back then, but unfortunately in the end, the eldest prince who honestly did nothing became the prince smoothly, and several of them were suppressed to varying degrees.
In fact, the eldest prince became the crown prince because he didn't do anything, which reassured the emperor, because a young, capable and ambitious prince was not needed by the old emperor who was in the prime of life at that time.
However, today is different from the past, and the urgent canonization of the eighth prince as the crown prince is to stabilize the current situation, but the old emperor has forgotten that he is no longer the year, and now he is old and frail, he has assigned part of the state affairs to the prince to deal with, so his grasp of the court is not as good as before, so he did not find the undercurrent lurking under the court, and thought that it was the same as back then, and one sentence could suppress and change everything.
It's a pity that the crown prince died this time, and the old emperor was bedridden, which was a signal to everyone, a signal to launch, so the eighth prince had just succeeded to the throne, and the ninth prince rebelled, united with overseas clans to rebel, and had occupied the state and county where the fief was located, and made every effort to rectify the soldiers and horses, obviously the ultimate goal is not the current territory.
After hearing that the Nine Emperors had rebelled, the old emperor, who was not in good condition, vomited blood on the spot, so he could only force the transfer of troops to quell the chaos.
But the court has not been at war for decades, and the emphasis on literature and light on military force has become a trend, and the military attaches who can stand in the court at the moment are all echo worms that rely on civilian officials, or they are incompetent people who are only good at slapping horses, and the overseas soldiers who have fought through the perennial war have been beaten and lost their armor as soon as they come into contact, but instead sent a wave of armor and grain to the past, and the angry old emperor almost didn't catch his breath, so he could only send out the three princes who had been refrigerated for many years to lead the troops according to the minister's advice, at least the three princes' achievements that year are still unmatched.
These three princes are really powerful, and before they arrived at the Nine Emperors, they shrank their forces and closed the city gates, no matter how provocative they are, they will not go out of the city.
The siege of the city is not a field battle, so the three princes retreated ten miles back and set up a large camp, and then reported to the imperial court to dispatch troops and accumulate materials, which was to prepare for a protracted war.
However, there are a few discerning people who can see that they are a little tired, but at the moment, speaking out of this situation is purely looking for death, so they can only choose to remain silent.
The bad things are not only these, after the old emperor is in bed, the state affairs will be handed over to the prince, that is, the prince is in charge of the country, but although the eighth prince is smart, he is free by nature, so he can sit still and deal with these boring twists and turns, not to mention that there is no shortage of people around the eighth prince, he has soft ears, and soon he became the prince, he made a lot of ridiculous things, do you dare to believe that a retinue around the eighth prince who went out to carry the bird cage actually became a seven-grade city gate official, it is just a joke.
So even if it is only a military position, it also arouses the disgust of many ministers in the court, after all, it is not a faceless thing to be an official in the same dynasty with a retinue who carries a cage and walks birds, so if there is nothing to do, he will pit the prince in the folds, anyway, with the political wisdom of the eighth prince, it can't be seen.
The bedridden old emperor was angry and anxious at the moment, and in desperation, he could only appoint the fourth prince, who was good at political affairs, to assist the eighth prince, which was also a helpless move.
But the two people who are most afraid of the eighth prince in his life are the third prince and the fourth prince, the murderous third prince shivered when he looked at him, and the fourth prince stereotyped and admitted death, and the eight princes who jumped out have been preached since childhood, and they have formed a conditioned reflex, so when they saw the four princes, they were like mice and cats, and the whole person wilted.
Therefore, although nominally the eighth prince assisted by the four princes as the crown prince, in fact, all state affairs have been grasped in the hands of the four princes, and the eight princes have completely become humanoid stamps.
But the Eighth Prince didn't care, if he still had a plan for this position back then, but now after some bombardment, he gave up completely, handed over everything to the Fourth Prince, and had fun as usual all day.
Now many ministers in the court have found something wrong, because according to the current situation, it is obvious that the four princes are more like the crown princes, and because the four princes have clever political methods, coupled with the teachers of the four princes back then, the connections left by the elders of the three dynasties, these integrations have played a fierce chemical reaction, and before the old emperor has reacted, the four princes have taken control of the imperial city.
In this case, unless the old emperor transferred foreign troops into the imperial city, he would not be able to help the four princes at all, but now the nine princes have rebelled, and the three princes led a large army to quell the rebellion.
Although the old emperor is old, he is not stupid, he knows that he is afraid that he has fallen into some terrible conspiracy, and he just killed a prince, and then forced himself to the point of cornering, which shows the means.
It's a pity that the old emperor found out too late, if he pretends to be deaf and dumb to cooperate, he can still mix up with the emperor for a few years, if he wants to engage in some drastic measures, I am afraid that the news of the emperor's violent death will come out that night.
The changes in the court are also a disaster for the people of Ronghua Kingdom, and Ronghua Kingdom, which was still a prosperous scene not long ago, actually has a bit of a chaotic appearance.
But this did not make Xuan Xin have any intention of retreating, but made him speed up the pace of action, and came to Longwan City in a few days.
Today's Longwan City is no longer a pure mortal city, because there are too many monks here.
There is no way, the Black Ridge Mountain Range itself is rich in various minerals, and the quality has improved a lot after being polished by Gangfeng for countless years, although the previous fairy and demon war turned the entire Black Ridge Mountain Range into a rocky basin, but it also broke many minerals and exposed them in the open air, and was infected by the breath of the immortals and demons, the quality was greatly improved, and many materials could be directly used to refine magic weapons, so this place has become a paradise for monks, so more and more monks have gathered, if it weren't for the scattered immortal town on the bright side of the empty space, I'm afraid this Longwan City really doesn't know what it will become。
"It's a pity that the current Longwan City can't do without me at all, otherwise it would be best for me to travel with you. He looked at Xuan Xin and said with a wry smile.
"Xia Junyun, Wujing, you two come in. He said to the door.
"This is your junior brother Xuanxin, he has a great wish, he needs to travel to various countries, you two have followed me to practice for many years, and when it is time to go out to practice, they will go on the road together, if you encounter difficulties on the road, you can send a message to me. The two of them instructed.
Likong told the two of them about it before, and asked the two of them to think about it, but Wujing is now alone, and it is a matter of the teacher, so he should go down now, and Xia Junyun is the head of the next generation of the Golden Scale Family, and he should not have taken risks or even traveled far away, but now the changes in Longwan City The Golden Scale Family is also in the eyes, and the previous business and martial arts status is meaningless in front of these flying immortals, and finally has a fairy fate, naturally he will not give up easily, and Xia Junyun himself is unwilling, so he shaved his head on the second day, which is considered to be a broken dust, officially worshiped under the empty door, and got the law name Xuanyun。
For the sake of unification, Likong also changed the name of Wujing, named Xuanwu.
