Chapter 53: The truth about Xingqing Prefecture, and the White Lotus Sect again
Tianluan Palace.
Watching the simulated life of King Qin.
As Jiang Xuan's many deeds kept appearing in her mind, the empress frowned slightly.
Some people murmured in confusion: "Is there nothing worth imitating in all these years of King Qin?"
So that the simulator.
They only talked about the many major events that had happened in the Dawu Dynasty over the years.
but.
This time, the empress still did not choose to skip.
Instead, he continued to read on patiently.
[The 37th year of Emperor Yuan’s reign]
【New Year】
[A big event happened in Chang'an City]
[Zhenbei King Jiang Xuan, under an imperial decree from Emperor Yuan, voluntarily surrendered his military power and led only a thousand cavalrymen out of Chang'an to guard Juman Pass]
[After you learned about it, you were a little bit unbelievable]
[But you vaguely guessed why Emperor Yuan did this. He was afraid of Jiang Xuan.]
[He was afraid that the King of Zhenbei, who was so powerful and prestigeous, would have ideas about his position. He was afraid that he would not be able to shock Jiang Xuan.]
[A few days later]
[You waited for a long time at the place where King Zhenbei passed by, and finally waited for him]
This is the third time you have seen him.
[You and the King of Zhenbei were in an inn on the official road, talking happily until you got drunk.]
[You are surprised to find that after being transferred out of Chang'an by Emperor Yuan and sent to guard the northern border, this person did not show any dissatisfaction, but was rather free and easy.]
[You sincerely admire this]
[After that, you continue to be an idle prince in Datong Prefecture as usual.]
[So far, you have not had any thoughts about the position that everyone dreams of, because you know that your brother, the current Emperor Yuan, is a wise ruler with great talent and strategy, and is proficient in both civil and military affairs.]
[You admire Emperor Yuan very much. You will not rebel against him, nor dare to rebel against him.]
So, you never thought about it.
[The following years]
[The Dawu Dynasty is very peaceful. Under the might of the King of Zhenbei, no one dares to act rashly.]
[The 45th year of Emperor Yuan’s reign]
[Eight years have passed in a flash, and now you are already fifty-three years old]
【Great Cold】
[News of Emperor Yuan's death spread from Chang'an City]
[You are so sad that you lose your appetite]
[But the succession of your eldest niece, the Ninth Princess Wu Yuxi, made you extremely angry.]
[A woman became emperor, unprecedented]
[You can't believe that Emperor Yuan would let a woman inherit the throne]
[You began to suspect that your eldest niece, Wu Yuxi, had secretly murdered Emperor Yuan and forged the imperial edict, and that’s how she took the throne.]
"Ah"
The empress sneered.
He scoffed, "That's a good excuse."
She didn't think so.
The King of Qin really suspected that he had secretly murdered his father and forged the imperial edict.
These remarks are nothing more than an excuse.
One makes himself rebel.
An excuse to become legitimate.
[After you become suspicious, you start to secretly investigate what is going on]
【However, after your investigation】
[It turns out that things are not as you thought. The succession of the empress was indeed ordered by Emperor Yuan himself.]
[You are somewhat unwilling]
You don’t know why you feel this way.
[You don't know when you actually had the ambition to sit in that position]
[Just when you start to reflect on why you want to rebel]
【The King of Wu is coming】
[Everyone knows that you and the King of Wu do not get along. You can even say that you are incompatible with each other.]
[But in fact, it was just that you two brothers were afraid that if you got too close, Emperor Yuan would be wary of you, so you had no choice but to resort to this last resort to dispel Emperor Yuan’s concerns.]
[Your relationship with King Wu is actually very good] "As expected."
"Yan'er's speculation is not wrong." The empress looked at the screen in the simulator coldly.
I felt more and more that the disaster relief grain in Xingqing Prefecture had been stolen.
It has something to do with his two uncles.
and.
The King of Qin and the King of Wu.
Really planning to rebel.
I just don't know why these two people never appeared in the previous simulations.
It's as if they had never prepared to rebel.
[When the King of Wu came, he did not beat around the bush, but asked you directly if you had the ambition to become the emperor, and if you planned to rebel against the empress.]
[After listening, you nodded silently]
[You have ambition, although you don’t know when it emerged.]
[But when you knew that after your brother passed away, your eldest niece, the ninth princess Wu Yuxi, inherited the throne, your ambition began to grow uncontrollably.]
[The King of Wu laughed when he saw this]
[Immediately conspired with you]
[The King of Wu said, you two are not like the King of Jin, who has long been plotting rebellion and has not made any preparations before. Although you have a large army, you don’t have much money or food.]
【Therefore】
[The King of Wu intends to seize the disaster relief grain from Xingqing Prefecture and transport all of it to Datong Prefecture after the plot is accomplished]
[After thinking for a while, you agreed to King Wu's plan]
[That night, you sent out a thousand brave cavalrymen, along with a brave general under your command, to Xingqing Prefecture with the King of Wu, waiting for the arrival of the relief grain.]
[Two days later, the disaster relief grain was quietly taken away by you and the King of Wu.]
[All 1,500 soldiers were killed]
[That night, a large number of people under the command of King Wu took action and lit incense in every village and town where the incident occurred, and then covered up many traces.]
【but】
【But what you didn't expect is】
[The relief grain was not delivered to Datong Prefecture, and the 1,000 brave cavalrymen and that brave general under your command were also unable to return.]
[Instead, it was the King of Wu who came to Datong Prefecture with a gloomy face and told you that the relief grain was taken away by the White Lotus Sect on the way to Datong Prefecture.]
[Also joining the attack were people from the Heavenly Sword Sect, the first sword sect of the Wei Dynasty.]
[You become furious after hearing this]
[A large army was immediately dispatched to search for traces of the White Lotus Sect]
"White Lotus Sect, Heavenly Sword Sect?"
The empress looked at the simulation, and the King of Wu's appearance did not seem fake, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
The White Lotus Society was involved in this matter.
Although she was surprised, she was not too surprised.
But the appearance of the Tianjian Sect really made her feel a little bit unbelievable.
A sect.
It is also the sect of the Dawu Dynasty.
How dare you get involved in such things?
"King Wu is lying?"
For a moment, the empress couldn't tell whether the King of Wu was lying or not.
After all so far.
The martial arts world has been well governed for more than two hundred years, and people are afraid that the scene that happened two hundred years ago will happen again.
Tianjian Sect, do you really dare to go against the world's condemnation?
【However】
[Even with the search by your army, they were unable to find any trace of the White Lotus Sect. Even the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect were unable to find any trace.]
[This makes you start to doubt King Wu]
[But you also feel that, given your relationship with the King of Wu, he would not deceive you]
【It was at this time】
[The empress sent an imperial decree to the northern border, asking the King of Zhenbei to dispatch troops to Xingqing Prefecture to guard it.]
[You don’t care about this]
[You don't think that the King of Zhenbei will mobilize troops]
[But what shocked you was that after the empress's decree was delivered, the King of Zhenbei not only mobilized his troops, but also sent the world's most elite formation to guard Xingqing Prefecture.]
[You are dumbfounded]
[You started to panic. You knew the man in the north very well. He hated evil and was very vindictive. If he knew that it was you and the King of Wu who stole the disaster relief grain from the imperial court,
