Chapter 10: Chongli Mansion was breached on the 10rd, the mysterious Empress Dowager Xiao
Chapter 10: Chongli Mansion was conquered in three days, the mysterious Empress Dowager Xiao
[In the 30th year of Emperor Yuan, Dawu Chao was imprisoned and the country was in danger. The civil and military officials once again advised your father to appoint a crown prince, but your father refused again.]
【This year, you are fifteen years old】
[You don't understand, you are the eldest son, why your father is unwilling to make you the crown prince]
[In the 31st year of Emperor Yuan's reign, your father led the army to fight in person. To your disappointment, your father did not let you govern the country, but let Prime Minister Xiao Yanwen take charge of government affairs.]
[In the 32nd year of Emperor Yuan, wars broke out frequently. Your father led the elite troops of the Great Wu to fight in the south and the north. It was also in this year that you heard a name in the court, Jiang Xuan.]
“Simulator.”
"Skip this period and start from the time I ascended the throne."
After seeing the subsequent simulation, I didn’t get the news I wanted to know.
The empress frowned and chose to skip it.
【Ding! 】
【Skipped】
[Simulation restart]
[In the 45th year of Emperor Yuan's reign, your father is seriously ill and has not attended court for ten consecutive days. You know that your father may be approaching his end and will soon pass away.]
You are sad, but full of hope at the same time
[You expect your father to make you the crown prince and inherit the throne]
[Unfortunately, you never waited for the summons]
[The forty-fifth year of Emperor Yuan's reign, the Great Cold]
[Your father has passed away, and you still haven't been summoned, nor have you received any decree. At this moment, you finally understand that your father never thought of passing the throne to you.]
[The first year of Shengwu]
[Your sister, the ninth princess Wu Yuxi, inherited the throne in the presence of all the civil and military officials]
[You were shocked when you heard the news]
[How could my father hand over the country and people of the Dawu Dynasty to a woman? How could a woman be in charge of the country of the Dawu Dynasty?]
[You are shocked and unwilling at the same time]
[If any other prince had sat on the throne, you would probably have accepted your fate and lived your life as a free and easy prince, but the one who sat on the throne was the Ninth Princess.]
[You are unwilling to give up and start planning]
[You secretly bribed several ministers to inform you of everything that happened in the court]
"very good."
After seeing this, the empress bit her silver teeth lightly.
His cold eyes were filled with anger.
He said in a cold tone: "Everyone thinks that I am not worthy of being the emperor. They all want to pull me down and take the position themselves."
"I would like to see it."
"What do you have to take this position?"
[After bribing several ministers, he did not act rashly, but lay dormant. You know that with the little power in his hands, he is no match for the empress.]
[You are waiting, waiting for an opportunity]
【New Year (Beginning of Spring)】
[You received a message that the King of Jin rebelled and led forty-five elite troops to Chongli Prefecture.]
[You are not optimistic about this]
[Because you already knew that the Empress had sent Ning He to Chongli long before, and you didn't think that the Prince of Jin could take Chongli in a short time.]
【But what will surprise you is】
[In just three days, Chongli Prefecture was conquered by the King of Jin]
[Ninghe was defeated and had no choice but to retreat to Linchuan]
"what?"
When the empress saw this, her pupils suddenly shrank.
He exclaimed in shock: "Chongli Mansion was conquered by the King of Jin in just three days?"
"How can it be"
Ning He was well aware of his abilities. Facing the 450,000 elite troops under the King of Jin, with the help of the 80,000 defenders in Chongli Prefecture, even if they were defeated, they could still hold out for a while.
But now the picture in the simulator.
However, it shows that Prince Jin captured Chongli Prefecture in just three days.
"Damn it."
"What happened?"
The empress gritted her teeth and continued reading.
Naturally, she would not suspect Ning He of betraying her and would directly surrender to Prince Jin.
[When you received this news, you were shocked, even a little bit unbelievable]
【But at the same time, your mind becomes active】
[You know that once Chongli Prefecture is conquered, the Jin King’s army will be unstoppable.]
[And the fact is just as you guessed]
[On the second day after the capture of Chongli Prefecture, the King of Jin led his army towards Linchuan. There were not many defenders in Linchuan, and there were not many food and weapons. Ning He had no choice but to retreat again and again, and directly retreated to Tianshui City.]
[At this point, you also know how Chongli Prefecture was captured]
[On the first day of the new year, the King of Jin led a large army to attack and set up camp outside Chongli Prefecture. While attracting Ninghe, he ordered his generals to lead 30,000 elite troops to the east for more than 300 miles and head straight to Wuwei. The Wuwei defender surrendered without a fight. When the war broke out on the third day, they launched a surprise attack on the north gate of Chongli Prefecture.]
【Not only that】
[It is rumored that on that day, two warriors of the Profound Finger Realm came out from under the command of King Jin, and attacked Ning He together. If he had not been afraid of the one in the North Territory, he would not have survived.]
"I see."
The empress sneered, her eyes chilling to the bone.
She didn't expect that the commander of Wuwei Prefecture would give her such a big surprise.
but.
What made the empress a little confused was.
With 30,000 elite troops marching eastwards over 300 miles, the commotion could not be small, it could even be huge.
It is impossible for the Embroidered Uniform Guard not to notice it.
After all these years.
Under her arrangement, the Jinyiwei was spread throughout the entire territory of the Dawu Dynasty.
"It seems."
When the empress thought of this, her eyes turned cold again: "Someone in the Jinyiwei also betrayed me."
【Three days later】
[The King of Jin conquered ten cities in a row and pointed his sword at Tianshui]
[As soon as this news came out, the empress was furious and immediately ordered the Ministry of War to mobilize 300,000 troops within two days, led by Duke Wu himself, to rush to Tianshui’s aid]
[You watched with your own eyes as Duke Wu led his army out of Chang'an. You knew that the opportunity you had longed for had finally arrived.]
[That night, you contacted the many civil and military officials you had bribed during this period, and began to lay out your plans to seize power. After arranging everything, you went to the palace and met your mother, Empress Dowager Xiao.]
【What you didn’t expect】
[After seeing you, Empress Dowager Xiao revealed your plans in just one sentence. She even knew exactly when you were going to take action.]
[Just as you were horrified, Queen Mother Xiao sent three Celestial Realm warriors and one Half-Step Heavenly Realm warrior to help you. You were a little bit incredulous.]
[But Empress Dowager Xiao said nothing, just told you to do it without worry, and you left with full of doubts]
【Five days later】
[The Tianshui War begins, and everyone's attention is attracted by this battle]
[You took action]
[You take the 300 soldiers in your palace, along with many civil and military officials, and charge into the palace together]
[With the help of three Celestial Realm warriors and one Half-Step Heavenly Human Realm warrior, you successfully fought your way into the palace. At the same time, at your signal, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards suddenly jumped up and killed the commander of the Imperial Guards with one sword, taking control of the 100,000 Imperial Guards.]
[That night, there were constant shouts and cries of killing in the palace]
[It lasted until dawn, and then it barely stopped]
