She wants to be emperor... The fourth Prince's hand is stiff in the air. He looks at his younger sister in front of him, and suddenly feels that she is so strange.

Huaiqing's words, like thunder, reverberated in the ears of Li Wang and other royal families. The degree of shock was even greater than that of her and Xu Qi'an who forced Yongxing to abdicate.

Is she crazy?!

The idea came to mind at the same time.

King Li calmed his mind and fixed his eyes on Huaiqing

"What are you..."

Huaiqing's tone remains unchanged

"My palace wants to ascend to the throne."

"Pa!"

Li Wang slapped his hand on the case and stood up with his crutch. His fingers trembled and pointed to Huaiqing. He was furious

"Ridiculous!

"You bastard, do you know what you're talking about? It's just a girl who wants to ascend to the throne. Who will convince you! I think you are power and lust, blinded by reason.

"If you ascend the throne, how can you convince the public. At that time, someone will take the opportunity to revolt, and the great sacrifice will perish faster. "

inadmissibility!

When Emperor Yongxing abdicates, King Li can tolerate. The turmoil of the current situation will always be accompanied by the change of power. Emperor Yongxing can not keep the throne because of his poor ability.

As long as the successor is the Royal Prince of Genzheng Miaohong, there will be no problem.

Huaiqing is the royal family of Miao Hong, but she is a princess. How can she be called emperor!

The prince and the princes began to talk, either wringing and sighing, or slapping their legs and scolding the madman.

Seeing that his uncle and brothers were in a high mood of opposition, Prince Yan keenly seized the opportunity, raised his hand and said:

"Uncles, take it easy."

At this time, the identity of Huaiqing's brother was highlighted, and the princes and princes were really quiet.

Huaiqing is the sister of Prince Yan's mother. When she is in power, people will acquiesce that Prince Yan has the right to speak.

Prince Yan exhorted:

"Huaiqing, the fourth brother knows that you always have ambition, and women are not allowed to be men. The fourth brother agrees that he will give you an opportunity and space to show your ambition.

"As for the accession to the throne, don't mention it any more. That is, we agree with it, and the public do not agree with it, and the people in the world do not agree with it."

I almost didn't say that you, a lady, want to be emperor. Isn't that a joke.

Huaiqing looked at Prince Yan and then swept all the princes and princes in a calm tone

"Who said that women can't be called emperors? It has existed since ancient times. The female emperor of Dayang is the first of all time."

"Yang" is a dynasty before the great Zhou Dynasty, with a history of nearly two thousand years. In the middle of the great Zhou Dynasty, various princes rebelled, captured the capital of the great Zhou Dynasty, slaughtered the royal family and killed all the men.

At that time, a princess of Dayang was gifted. She didn't study piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and loved to dance, gun and stick (martial arts, no other meaning). In the rebellion when her father and brother and the family men were almost killed, she resolutely stood up.

She gathered the army and put an end to the rebellion. It took her six years to put down the rebellion..

Then she ascended the throne and became the first female emperor in the history of the Central Plains.

Li Wang sneered

"If you are the second grade Wufu, I will kneel down and beg you to ascend the throne."

The female emperor of Dayang, the second grade realm.

Huaiqing was calm and his expression remained unchanged

"The palace was built in a shallow way, which is only a four grade realm, but Xu Qi'an has been promoted to the second grade."

In the side hall, people were all in consternation.

Li Wang's eyes widened and his hand trembled slightly

"Xu Qi'an... Has he been promoted to the second grade?"

Seeing that Huaiqing didn't speak, he hurriedly stopped with his crutch and said angrily:

"Answer me."

Huaiqing said with a smile:

"Otherwise, why do you have the confidence to fight with the rebels in Yunzhou?"

King Yu was slightly moved

"You mean, he supports you to ascend the throne..."

Huaiqing was in a trance for a moment, because he remembered the scene of two people's letters on that day——

[3: Your Highness, the last question...]

One: please

Are you really willing to have a fourth prince

I: why is there such a question

Because I think you want to be emperor

I've been silent for a long time... [1: if this palace wants to ascend the throne, how will you stay

[3: Yes!]

Even now, recalling that exchange, Huaiqing can still feel the endless heart lake.

At that moment, she came to the window, pushed open the window, let the sun and cold flow in together.

Facing the sunshine, she raised her face, closed her eyes and sighed three words.

"Xu Ningyan....."

Huaiqing did not answer Yuwang's question because it was unnecessary.

She went on

"The Wei party and the Wang party are all my people. Most of the twelve guards in the capital have taken refuge under my command. The five battalions of the forbidden army only recognize the tiger's amulet, but not the human. The tiger amulet is now in my pocket.

"With the support of Xu Ningyan, the second class martial arts master, uncle, uncle, is there anyone in the royal family more suitable to be Emperor than me?

"Jiang Luzhong and Kai Kaitai are my men in charge of tens of thousands of garrisons in Yuyang pass. Chuzhou general is my man.

"Uncle thinks, enough?"

Silence, silence for a moment, Li Wang said in a deep voice:

"Women claim to be emperors, bad ethics and disorderly court platforms. Don't forget that there is a Yunlu academy outside the capital."

"Coincidentally, I was about to talk about it." Huaiqing said lightly:

"The palace has promised to let Yunlu academy return to the temple, and Zhao Shou join the cabinet."

"..." King Li closed his eyes.

Huaiqing took the opportunity to ask again:

"On planning, on talent, on courage, among the royal family, some people beat me?"

Prince Yan opened his mouth and finally said nothing.

Huaiqing got up and swept the princes and princes with strong eyes

"In addition to the people in this palace, who else in the royal family can save the precarious Dafeng and you.

"By a weak and incompetent Yongxing?"

This is the first time that she shows her talent and disdain.

The royal family realized that they had underestimated the princess in the past. They thought she was just good at reading and had a good reputation.

From Yuanjing to Yongxing, she has always kept a low profile, showing no mountains or dew, and not caring about government affairs.

Only at this time did she show her true colors. When they came back to their senses, her life was already in the hands of others.

Seeing that there was no one to disobey, Huaiqing converged and said:

"If you are called here today, you don't want to let the royal family bleed. If you support me, you can enjoy glory and wealth. If you have any different intentions, you can't be forgiven.

"Uncle, you're an elder. Please say something."

King Li couldn't help looking at Huaiqing. He was surprised to find that her eyes were dark and calm, but there was a chance to kill her. Suddenly, he was awed and said in a deep voice:

"This is the end of the matter. What else can I say?"

Huaiqing then looked at his lost brother, gently straightened his skirt, smoothed his pleats, and said softly:

"Later, I wronged the fourth emperor brother and Yongxing, and other brothers, who lived in the ground floor of the star watching building for the time being.

"Fourth brother and your brothers' descendants, our palace will take good care of you.

"If some uncles are interested in staying in the observation tower, they are welcome to our palace."

The faces of the royal family members present changed slightly.

"Pa Pa!"

Huaiqing clapped his hands, called the Jiashi outside the side hall, and said:

"Take it back to the Jinluan palace, and then bring the members of the Wang party to our palace."

Wang Dang didn't know that she wanted to ascend the throne. Xu Qi'an persuaded Wang Zhenwen to establish Prince Yan.

However, now that he's on the boat of thieves, it's hard to think about it. So next, Huaiqing wants to talk with the backbone of the Wang party.

...........

Near noon, the riot from the imperial palace to the imperial city was completely calmed down. All the experts in the forbidden army were suppressed by Xu Qi'an. All the loyal soldiers in the twelve guards could persuade them to surrender, and all the loyal ones were killed.

There is Xu Qi'an town. In the Imperial City, no one dares to be the guest Qing raised by the dignitaries.

In the Jinluan hall, the princes, the nobility and the imperial clan gathered again. Huaiqing, escorted by two lines of Jiashi, stepped into the Jinluan hall, dressed in a white skirt and dragged to the ground.

She walked to the throne with a graceful manner, overlooking the ministers in the palace, and her voice was cold

"Since the beginning of winter, the cold disaster has been rampant, and the people are in dire straits. Yongxing was not good at governing the country, which led to resentment among the people and rebellion. He knew that virtue was not worthy of the throne, so he wanted to abdicate and give up the throne.

"Do you have any objection?"

In addition to the Yunzhou mission, all the princes, nobilities and clansmen in the hall bowed their heads and chanted:

"Your Highness has the virtue to undertake this important task."

Because he has not ascended the throne, he can not be called his majesty.

The Yunzhou mission stood alone, frightened and embarrassed.

……

At the top of Jinluan hall, Xu Qi'an stands with his hands down, overlooking the whole palace city.

The cold wind lifted his clothes, blew his hair, and his ears echoed with the voices of the princes in the hall. Xu Qi'an had no reason to remember that he was a small man two years ago.

Yuan Jing, Wei Yuan, Jian Zheng, Wang Zhenwen, and all the officials in the palace were high-ranking figures that he could not expect.

Two years later, these people died and got sick, and the temples and even the whole capital were under his feet.

"As the Yangtze River flows eastward, the waves wash away the heroes. Success or failure turns to nothing. The green mountains are still there, and the setting sun is red for several times

"If this word is thrown out, it will cause a great disturbance, and the second uncle will be scolded again."

After reciting in a low voice, he gave a complicated smile

"But I don't feel like I was famous for poetry any more."

..........

In the imperial study, only Huaiqing and Xu Qi'an were present.

"I'm a little bit thin. The twelve guards and the imperial guards in the capital have been suppressed, and everyone has given me face to settle down for the time being."

Standing in the hall, Xu Qi'an looked at the cold beauty behind the big case and said:

"Next, it's up to you to stabilize the morale of the army, to replace your confidants, and to stabilize the morale of the people."

He has a nonchalant attitude.

Next, the capital will enter a short period of chaos, the major forces need to reshuffle.

What can be won over, what cannot be won over will be eradicated. Of course, we should compromise and make certain concessions.

He doesn't have to worry about these things. Xu Qian believes that the princess will handle them by herself.

Huaiqing stroked the brush on the pen holder and chose an ivory pen

"How to face Lin'an next is also your business.

"The little maid of Jingxiu palace, just now she risked her life to send a message. Princess Chen wants to see you. Lin'an is also here."

After the four gates of the palace were under control, Huaiqing released the restrictions and no longer prohibited the princes, daughters and concubines in and out of the palace.

Xu Qian thought about it and said:

"I have an idea to stabilize the people. I can show the Yunzhou mission to the public, and then put up a notice saying that I was the initiator of the Qing Dynasty. You are a princess. Your name is not right and your words are not right. Before you make great achievements, the people in the world will not recognize you.

"But you can borrow my reputation."

"That's exactly what the palace means." Huaiqing dipped his pen in ink and wrote some of his previous poems on the paper

"You don't have to pay attention to Chen Guifei. If you are annoyed, our palace will deal with her for you. As for Lin'an.... "

The corner of the long princess's mouth provokes a sarcastic arc:

"Xu Yinluo is the best at rhetoric. Just show your skill."

Don't talk so weird... Xu Qi'an doesn't have a good way

"Yongxing is her elder brother after all."

Huaiqing nodded

"Therefore, to keep him alive is the best explanation to Lin'an. After crying for a few days, she can figure it out herself."

Xu Qi'an felt that he had lost money

"Are you helping me?"

Huaiqing put down his pen and looked at him with no expression

"Since Yongxing has abdicated, his marriage will not count. After the palace ascends the throne, it will help Xu Yinluo break his engagement.

"You don't have to worry about appeasing Lin'an."

"My second uncle has agreed. How can he lift it?" Xu Qi'an shook his head.

"It's ok if I say it." Huaiqing unexpectedly overbearing, it seems that the marriage can not be lifted.

"Your Highness, you'd better worry about what's in front of you."

Xu Qian arched his hand and left the imperial study. Instead of going to the harem, he turned out of the palace and went to the watchman's Yamen.

In the imperial study, Huaiqing bit his lip and gave a cold hum.

……

Riding on a little mare, "daddada" returns to the watchman Yamen. Under the leadership of song Tingfeng, he goes to the dungeon.

The jailer opens the iron door to the ground. Song Tingfeng walks in front of him. When he passes the torture room, he wonders:

"Ning Yan, every time I see these strange instruments of torture, I feel as if I have forgotten something."

Xu Qi'an was not familiar with the dungeons and the instruments of torture, so he didn't care about song Tingfeng's words.

"Go to GouLan later, but you have to change your face first."

"If you have time, you can't go to GouLan now."

They said a word, and soon came to the prison gate where Yunzhou mission was held.

The escort of Yunzhou mission has been killed by Huaiqing, leaving behind the officials of the negotiation group and Ji Yuan, Xu yuanshuang and Xu Yuanhuai.

The three were locked together, stripped of the bright coat, put on the prison clothes.

Xu Yuanhuai's tendons and tendons were broken again, wearing handcuffs and shackles, and leaning weakly on the wall.

Seeing Xu Qian open the cell door and come in, the three have different reactions.

Ji Yuan frowned slightly and stepped back.

Xu Yuanhuai looked up at him, then turned his head, with a cold face.

"You, what are you doing..."

Xu yuanshuang's feelings towards this elder brother are much more complicated. He has the hostility instilled in him since childhood, the pity formed by his mother's influence, the reverence of his younger sister for his elder brother, and the helplessness of his own.

So that she can't tell what kind of feelings she has for her elder brother.

"What did Xu Pingfeng ask you two to do in Beijing, to disgust me, or to improve Ji Yuan's fault tolerance?"

Xu Qi'an was cold to them.

Xu yuanshuang lowered his head and whispered:

"I think it's both."

Xu Qi'an examined the two men and sneered

"It seems to be a mole ant that can be discarded at will. It's a waste. It's not worth using. "

Xu Yuanhuai fiercely clenched his fist, but his tendon was broken, so he couldn't even clench his fist.

Xu yuanshuang, aggrieved and ashamed, bowed his head.

"Since you've come to the capital, don't think about leaving. It's not suitable for you." Xu Qian turns to look at Song Tingfeng

"Move them to the bottom of the observation tower."

Song Tingfeng nodded.

"Did the boy torture you?" Xu Qian looks at Ji Yuan with his back against the wall.

"I've talked to the Warlock of the sky warden. The content is confidential. I haven't seen it." Song Tingfeng said, looking at Xu yuanshuang, tut tut said:

"Such a pretty little beauty, don't send him away. You'd better take him home to be a concubine."

He didn't know about Xu Qi'an's life experience and his relationship with Yunzhou.

When you have a chance, you can take them home to meet the second uncle. By the way, you can see the fighting between your sister and cousin, which is more powerful

"You're ninth in that bunch of junk brothers?"

Ji Yuan didn't get angry at all. He was smiling

"Ji Yuan has met his cousin."

After being detained in the dungeon, Ji Yuan quickly calms down. After a simple analysis, he thinks that Xu Qi'an still has some brains. Although he took the opportunity to launch a coup and hold a woman to the top, Xu Qi'an didn't kill himself, which shows that he still has the psychology of using value.

Maybe it's to negotiate with Yunzhou.

"Pa!"

Xu Qian slapped him in the face with his backhand.

Ji Yuan is a weak scholar. He falls out like a broken sandbag. He has tinnitus and hasn't been up for a long time.

"Less relatives, who is your cousin." Xu Qian's expression was calm, just like a fly.

"My son, my son?" He asked again.

Ji Yuan's ears are tinnitus and deaf. She can't hear clearly. When she sees Xu Qi'an slapping again, her face turns crazy. It's still Xu yuanshuang who is reading to his cousins. She answers for him:

"Son of a concubine..."

"Oh," said Xu Qian with a sneer

"I'm born of a cheap concubine. I'm a worthless chess piece. How much do you think Qianlong city is willing to pay to redeem you?

"After all, it depends on whether you can return to Yunzhou alive."

The rough, crude Wufu..... Ji Yuan stood up against the wall with difficulty. His cheek swelled up. He suddenly bowed his head and spat out a bloody tooth.

Xu yuanshuang whispered:

"He's Ji Xuan's brother."

Xu Qi'an's eyes brightened and he began to laugh

"Interesting

He walked slowly to Ji Yuan, who was panicked and pasted it on the wall. Just now, he slapped all his strength and confidence.

"You are worthy of being a brother. Like Ji Xuan, you lack self-knowledge."

He patted Ji Yuan's face and walked out of the cell with song Tingfeng and a pair of younger brothers and sisters.

Ji Yuan's back was against the wall, his fists clenched, his face full of resentment and humiliation.

In the corridor, Xu Qi'an did not walk a few steps, but heard the woman's clear voice from a cell on the left

"Ah, is it Xu Yinluo?"

Looking around, she was a woman with disheveled hair and dirty prison clothes. Her facial features were very bright.

Xu Qian was stunned

"Who are you?"

"I'm a thief. No, you caught me in the fight between heaven and man."

The woman seems to have been greatly hit, with an excited face holding the fence.

"Oh, it's you. What can I do for you?" Xu Qi'an was puzzled.

"When will you let me out? I've been in jail for nine months Ah Chu's voice was excited.

Xu Qi'an looks at Song Tingfeng:

"What about this woman?"

Song Tingfeng said:

"A well-known recidivist like her is either exiled, beheaded or imprisoned to death. Before you sent her in, didn't you tell her to take good care of her? Will it be useful in the future

Xu Qi said with peace of mind that I forgot everything.

Now it's the time to employ people, so I'll go back and arrange a post for her

"Ji Yuan has been in secret contact with Princess Chen these days."

Chen Guifei... Xu Qi'an nodded and turned to song Tingfeng

"Tomorrow, take the Yunzhou mission out for a walk and surprise the people in the capital."

After leaving the watchman's Yamen, they parted ways with song Tingfeng, who escorted Xu yuanshuang and Xu Yuanhuai to Si Tianjian.

He rode all the way to the palace.

Just as it happens, there is a mystery in Fu Fei's case that has not been solved. He wants to ask Chen Guifei in person.
