Chapter 58: Who Rules
"Prime Minister Li must have a way, yes, he must have it!" The second prince's eyes lit up, and he suddenly exclaimed in surprise. Immediately, he ordered loudly outside the room: "Come on, give me the edict of Prime Minister Li into the palace!"
But then after thinking about it, the second prince hurriedly shouted: "Slow, I still go to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person!"
"Come on, prepare a carriage for me, I want to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Let's talk about it. The second prince hurriedly got into the carriage almost in panic, left the palace of Middle-earth, and hurried to the prime minister's mansion.
It was late at night, and Prime Minister Li had already rested. Prime Minister Li was very surprised by the arrival of the second prince, the current rebel Son of Heaven. Listening to the second prince talking about the might of the Xuanwu Pass army with a panicked face, and the eldest prince was about to send an army to attack Xuanwu Pass, Prime Minister Li couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, even if the Xuanwu Pass army comes, Weichen will definitely be able to make him embarrassed to go back, and if he doesn't get it right, he will also suppress the Xuanwu Pass, a big trouble!"
Listening to Li Zai's words, the second prince felt very shocked, and asked Prime Minister Li with a puzzled face: "Prime Minister, why do you have this confidence?"
Prime Minister Li laughed and said proudly: "Your Majesty, the Heavenly Palace has already promised to send us troops. The failure to hunt down the three thousand missing royal army made the people of the Heavenly Palace feel very guilty. So this time, they decided to personally send troops to come together with our Middle-earth World Army to resist the Xuanwu Pass Army!"
"With the army of the Heavenly Palace, my Middle-earth World City will definitely be safe and sound!"
Hearing that the Heavenly Palace was about to send an army to come, the second prince was immediately relieved, and the heart in his heart gradually became more comfortable. smiled at Prime Minister Li and said, "With the help of the heavenly soldiers of the Heavenly Palace, my Middle-earth world will be safe and sound!"
Prime Minister Li smiled, and the depths of his eyes were full of disdain...
This stupid second prince is simply stupid. Tiangong sent troops to come, how could it be as simple as helping you guard against the Xuanwu Pass army?
There is a way that it is easy to invite God and difficult to send God, and when the time comes, you will be clear..
In this world of Middle-earth, who has the final say!
The second prince naturally didn't notice Prime Minister Li's strange appearance, and happily returned to the palace.
Xuanwu Pass, after the first emperor's affairs were completed, many ministers of Xuanwu Pass gathered together to discuss the enthronement of the great prince. All the ministers of Xuanwu Pass unanimously agreed that the eldest prince should ascend the throne as emperor as soon as possible to contend with those rebels in Middle-earth World City, and it is best to gather strength as soon as possible and send troops to Middle-earth World City to crusade against those rebellious ministers and thieves!
Among them, these ministers, under the arrangement of the first emperor, sent them to the eldest prince in various names when the second prince and others launched a palace change.
Among them, there is Cao Shangshu, the head of the household, and the other six books, all of which arrived safely at the side of the great prince. There is also a group of the best generals in Middle-earth World City, these generals, almost all of them are outstanding talents of the younger generation, they are the last talent force of the Middle-earth World Empire, and these have been sent to the great prince by the first emperor in various names.
Before, when the eldest prince led the 100,000 forbidden army to march, he didn't know what the Son of Heaven meant. I really thought that the Son of Heaven wanted to train these young generals and was full of attention to this battle against the barbarians, so he also sent important ministers to supervise it.
But he didn't expect that the first emperor would have such an accurate judgment of what is happening now, and these arrangements are all left by the first emperor. Although the second prince launched the palace rebellion, what he obtained was only an empty city in Middle-earth World City, and the last and deepest trace of the Middle-earth World Empire was all concentrated around the Great Prince.
Even the royal treasury was quietly taken by the Son of Heaven and sent to the eldest prince by General Luo. There is also the treasury, which was almost used by the first emperor under various names, covering people's eyes and ears, and sent to Cao Shangshu. Now, the first emperor has died, which makes everyone come over suddenly. It turned out that all this was done by the first emperor, and he did all this. On the surface, he had already realized that the second prince had colluded with Prime Minister Li to become a traitor, and was vainly trying to subvert the Heavenly Palace in Middle-earth.
Therefore, before they launched the palace change, they quietly evacuated all the reserves of the Middle-earth Empire. After the second prince successfully launched the palace change, he found that what the first emperor left him was a mess.
The treasury is almost under control, and the royal treasury has not left a single hair, and the only minister left by the first emperor is a minister. was like crazy by the second prince, and all of them were beheaded. By the time I found out, it was too late...
It can be said that now that the second prince has ascended the throne as emperor, the biggest reason why he can still operate such a huge territory of the Middle-earth Empire is that the Heavenly Palace is funding. If there is no large amount of resources from the Heavenly Palace, as well as the funding of spirit stones, I am afraid that the rebel empire. It's already collapsed ..
However, in the same way, for the Heavenly Palace to make such a big price, the power in the hands of the second prince was almost completely hollowed out...
The entire rebel empire. It has quietly fallen into the hands of the Heavenly Palace. The second prince did not fail to discover these, but he directly ignored it. Because, he found that he couldn't leave this position on the dragon chair anymore.
He really couldn't think of it. If he loses this position, will he still be able to live?
Therefore, for the sake of this position, he had to agree to any request from the Heavenly Palace.
Even if the Heavenly Palace garrisoned the Middle-earth Empire, he had to agree...
has already boarded the thief ship of the Heavenly Palace, he can't get off the ship, and it's too late to regret it.
Although the rebels have occupied almost the entire Middle-earth Empire, the only areas they can really control are a few counties near Middle-earth City. And in many other counties, many of them yearn for the great prince, but they just agree on the surface.
What's more, many counties have become independent kingdoms, declaring autonomy, and they are no longer involved in the war between the two camps of the eldest prince and the second prince.
Now the entire empire of Middle-earth has fallen apart and turned into three forces. One is the rebel force represented by the second prince, who openly controls the vast land of the entire Middle-earth. The other is the orthodox Middle-earth imperial power represented by the Great Prince, but they are partial to the Xuanwu Pass generation, although the entire barbarian steppe land is in their hands. However, the resources they have are also very scarce. However, it was the orthodox forces of Middle-earth represented by the Grand Prince that were the most vocal and most recognized by the subjects of the Middle-earth Empire.
