what?

The right minister was immediately shocked by the emperor's sudden words.

His eyes were still on Ah Cha, completely unaware of what was going on.

No, didn’t the emperor just summon him?

Why did you suddenly reach the stage of making yourself a king?

But these were all doubts in his mind, but the corners of his lips were raised uncontrollably.

"Your Majesty, I just did some things within my duty, how can I be crowned king? Besides..."

Seeing that the right minister was about to say a lot of words in a formal manner, the emperor couldn't listen anymore and raised his hand.

"Right Prime Minister, just listen to what I have to say."

"This time you led the troops to quell the rebels as a civilian official, and you also won repeated battles. This is a great achievement, and I should reward you."

"In addition, you have contributed a lot to our Daxing in the past, so I want to reward you even more."

"Since you are already the Right Prime Minister, after I make you the king, I can also grant titles to the soldiers below."

"So, I will decree to make you king today."

After hearing the emperor's explanation, the right minister's smile suddenly froze on his face.

No, you want to seal all those soldiers?

Then wouldn't he be discovered by the emperor that there were only less than 10,000 people left in the army of 100,000?

When the time comes, let alone being crowned king, I am afraid that my own life will be revealed.

The more the right minister thought about it, the more frightened he became. Cold sweat broke out on his back, and he was so frightened that he suddenly fell to his knees.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to take back your decree!"

He wouldn't dare to accept this imperial edict even if he was beaten to death.

"My ability to quell the rebel rebellion only relies on His Majesty's trust and the bloody fighting of the soldiers."

"I sit in the military camp and only direct the war. How can I deserve this merit?"

"However, there are so many soldiers. If it would be too troublesome for Your Majesty to award rewards one by one, Your Majesty might as well convert all the rewards into silver coins and distribute them to all the soldiers. Only those soldiers who have made great achievements will be given additional rewards."

As soon as the right minister finished speaking, Ah Cha guessed the little calculation in his mind.

From the perspective of the right minister, he still has nearly 10,000 men left. If he can just find some of them to report their deeds, he can fool the emperor into giving them rewards.

In that case, he would only lose one chance to become king, but he would be able to save his own life.

Ah Cha actually sighed a little. With the brains of the right minister, if he didn't go astray, he might be able to make some achievements in political affairs.

But it's a pity now.

With her here, the right minister must honestly recognize this king no matter what.

She first quietly shook her head at the Dog Emperor, and then stood up.

"Emperor, please allow me to speak."

At critical moments, the Dog Emperor also knew very well how to cooperate.

"My Lady Goddess, please speak."

"As the saying goes: Those who serve the country should be rewarded according to their merits. If one person is loyal to the country, then one person will be rewarded. If thousands or ten thousand people are loyal to the country, then thousands or ten thousand people will be rewarded."

"I think that since the right prime minister led an army of 100,000 to encircle and suppress the rebels, and now has achieved a complete victory, he should reward all the soldiers."

"The so-called rewards refer to promotions, promotions and other rewards."

"The right minister is humble and does not seek fame or fortune, but the soldiers are all ordinary people, so it is great to have the opportunity to be rewarded."

"It's better for the emperor to accept his son and reward all the soldiers one by one on the basis of what the right minister said, so as to show the great kindness of the emperor to all the people in the world."

I have to say that after Ah Cha finished speaking, the Dog Emperor was very satisfied.

"What the goddess said makes sense, then I..."

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!"

When the right minister heard this, his expression changed drastically, and a sound like a ghost crying or a wolf howling sounded on time.

"How can I, a commoner, be granted the title of king..."

The emperor's words had just begun, and he was interrupted like this, which was of course unpleasant.

He stared at him with his sharp eyes.

"Right Prime Minister, I want to make you a king. What do you mean?"

"The goddess has explained it just now. If I don't grant you the title of king, then I won't be able to reward the soldiers below, let alone show the majesty of the emperor's grace!"

"You have blocked me again and again. Does it mean that you have no intention of becoming a king and want to seek my throne?"

The emperor's words were like a sharp blade, frightening the right minister to the ground.

It was true that he was a little cautious about the throne, but he didn't dare to accept the emperor's big hat on his head.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"

"I just feel that I am not worthy of the king's reward!"

"Your Majesty, please take a closer look, I have absolutely no intention of doing this!"

"I am loyal to His Majesty, and I am even more willing to devote myself to Daxing!"

The emperor's scrutinizing eyes lingered on his face several times.

"Since you are loyal to me, then I want to make you king, so you just accept the imperial decree."

After all, the emperor must still make himself king.

The right prime minister opened his lips slightly, wanting to refuse, but he couldn't say the words of refusal.

He had already made the emperor unhappy. If he said one more word of rejection, I am afraid that today he would have established his reputation as seeking the throne.

The emperor was already very suspicious. If he acted with such a reputation, there was no way he could be used by the emperor in the future.

No matter what, he couldn't be in that situation.

After thinking for a long time, he finally had to lie down on the ground.

"I thank your Majesty for the reward! Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"

Seeing such a hypocritical minister kneeling in front of him, the emperor felt very uncomfortable.

But for the sake of great prosperity, he still had to finish the play.

"Here comes someone! Tell me my will!"

"Now you Prime Minister has devoted his loyalty to the country, led his army to quell the rebels, and helped the country. He should be rewarded. He should be given the title of King of Nanping and a household of two thousand dan!"

Naturally, the required process needs to be completed one after another.

"I accept the order and thank you!"

The Prime Minister has accepted the order, but his tricks against the Prime Minister are still to come.

"Right Prime Minister, this is my decree to make you king. I will announce it to the world later, but I also have other rewards for the soldiers you brought."

"These soldiers have all served their country loyally. Now that the rebels have been put down, it's time for those soldiers to return to the capital in triumph."

"Take the military talisman in your hand and call them back to the capital to receive the reward."

After the emperor said these words, he stared at the right prime minister closely, as if he wanted to see a hole in his body.

A large bead of cold sweat fell from the right Prime Minister's forehead.

"Your Majesty, there are one hundred thousand soldiers. If they all return to the capital to receive rewards, wouldn't it be detrimental to the capital? Why not select some representatives to come to the capital first to receive rewards?"

This is already the most sufficient method that the right minister can come up with at this stage to temporarily deceive the emperor.

But how could the emperor listen to him so easily?

"You don't have to worry too much, Prime Minister. When these soldiers return to the capital, I will place them in the camp on the outskirts of the capital."

Place the soldiers in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing?

The right minister was stunned for a moment.

The suburbs of Beijing are not too far from the capital. It is a military camp specially built by the emperor. There are always guards in it, with about 20,000 people.

However, these are the figures that the world thinks, but knowing the inside story, the camp on the outskirts of Beijing can actually accommodate 200,000 troops.

The emperor had already found a place for the soldiers to be resettled, and his own reasons had failed again. What excuse could he make now?

Ah Cha stared at him with interest for a long time before making suggestions to the Dog Emperor.

"Emperor, I look at the weather today and it's already getting late. If the imperial edict is not sent out quickly, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to reach the soldiers."

"It's a small matter to waste time, but it's a big deal to chill the hearts of the soldiers."

Seeing her say this, Jin Lan of course wanted to add some fuel.

"Your Majesty, I think what the goddess said is very reasonable. Why don't you send this imperial decree now?"

With this chorus, it was like saying everything the emperor wanted to say to his right minister at once.

So he raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the Prime Minister.

"Right Prime Minister, do you think there is a problem with my will now?"

The emperor dared to ask this question, but the right minister did not dare to answer.

If he had ten more courages, he would not dare to question the emperor's will.

But he turned his attention to Ah Cha.

It was because of her existence that the emperor made her king today, and she was the culprit!

If it weren't for her, how could he have been ordered by the emperor to recall an army of 100,000 men?

But now, where should I go to gather the 100,000 troops?

The right minister was suddenly lost in thought.

"King Nanping, King Nanping!"

The emperor shouted a little impatiently, staring at him who suddenly came to his senses.

"I just called you, didn't you hear me?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I was just thinking about how to get those soldiers to return to the capital as soon as possible. I was distracted for a moment. Please punish me."

"Your right minister, King Nanping, is joking. How can I punish you?"

"My decree has been sent out. You should go back to your home and deliver the message to the soldiers."

"In the camp on the outskirts of Beijing in two days, I want to watch you lead the 100,000 troops to accept the reward."

The emperor's words were spoken lightly, but the right minister was frightened when he heard them.

He would see an army of 100,000 in two days. Where would he find it?

Let alone one hundred thousand, he might not even be able to find a thousand troops in two days.

But now that the emperor had issued an order to expel guests, he did not dare to stay for a long time, so he had to retreat angrily.

As soon as he left, he arrived at Ah Cha's home court.

"The emperor has just seen that the newly named Nanping King's behavior is so abnormal."

The emperor nodded in approval.

"This King of Nanping is indeed very different from the past. Does the goddess mean that the 100,000-strong army that caused great turmoil is also related to him?"

"Everyone who acts must be directed by the Lord. Even if he does not direct it directly, who can be sure of the indirect influence?"

"Speaking of which, there is something I have forgotten to tell the emperor."

The current emperor was so impressed with her that he admired her, and now he didn't even hesitate at all.

"My Lady Goddess, please speak."

"In the past, King Nanping led an army of 100,000 and underestimated the enemy and stationed in the plains. The rebels burned half of the food and grass, and treated the soldiers harshly. In addition, the methods of controlling his subordinates were mostly rough, which made the soldiers full of resentment. .”

"It just so happened that I controlled the rebels and calculated the specific time of the flood a little in advance, so I used a strategy to summon the 90,000 troops under King Nanping into the city."

Hearing this, the emperor frowned, already feeling that something was wrong.

"Can……"

"The Emperor might as well listen to what I have to say."

"Those soldiers did not intend to surrender to the enemy. In fact, following King Nanping under such circumstances would only waste the chance of survival."

"If those soldiers don't make a choice when the flood comes, I'm afraid they will all lose their lives."

"The emperor doesn't need to blame them. This matter was all my idea. They are just people who were deceived by me."

"Previously, I was afraid that someone with an intention would know about it in advance because I was afraid of sending a message back to the capital, so I didn't tell you before. But now it's time for the emperor to know."

The emperor was shocked and asked uncertainly: "So what the goddess means is that the army under King Nanping has..."

"Yes, King Nanping's army only had less than 10,000 troops left when he left the fiefdom."

"Because he treated his men harshly, the remaining 10,000 troops went to join the Zuo Xiang's men when I left the fiefdom."

The emperor was both surprised and at a loss.

"I just asked King Nanping to have 100,000 troops appear in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing within two days. Wouldn't it be impossible for him to complete it?"

"If this happens, won't our plan also fail?"

Regarding the emperor's concern, Ah Cha only raised the corners of her lips slightly.

"No, the emperor probably underestimated King Nanping's ability."

"With an army of one hundred thousand, neither the Emperor nor I know the soldiers among them. Then King Nanping can naturally find some replacements."

The emperor knew what Ah Cha meant, but he still shook his head, somewhat unwilling to believe it.

"But how can King Nanping raise 100,000 people to show off those soldiers in two days?"

"The emperor still underestimates King Nanping's ability. All the answers will naturally come out in two days."

The emperor could understand every word in Acha's words, but the combination made it difficult for him to understand.

"So what the goddess is saying is that I have to sit back and wait for death for these two days?"

"Well, the emperor can just wait."

"The turmoil of the 100,000-strong army..."

Just kidding, she is in charge personally, so there is no reason to let the right prime minister continue to do evil.

But two days is just enough time.

According to the latest news from Chu Xingbai, he is one step away from the position of the king of Yan State, and the old king of Yan State will soon be gone.

And Song Yunan was already at the border ready to deal with the enemy and the right prime minister's manpower.

In addition, the left prime minister is becoming more and more comfortable in handling affairs in the fiefdom, the eldest princess is calling the shots in the court, and the queen and Jinlan are cooperating with each other in the harem. The right prime minister is now surrounded by them.

She didn't believe that the Right Prime Minister could escape from their grasp this time and cause some new disturbance in Daxing.

There is not much time left for the Right Prime Minister to jump around.

But this also means that the last civil strife in Daxing is about to begin.

Acha lowered his eyes calmly, looked straight at the emperor, and spoke every word with utmost solemnity and certainty.

"As long as I am here, nothing will happen."

With her words, the emperor seemed to feel at ease as if a Dinghai needle had been placed in his heart.

"Since the goddess has said so, I will just wait for the turmoil in two days."

Ah Cha nodded to him, then turned his gaze to Jin Lan behind him.

Jinlan is a smart person, and she naturally knows how to stop the Dog Emperor's actions in the past two days.

As for the right minister, let him live for two more days. After two days, it will be up to him whether he lives or dies.

This time, after Ah Cha left the palace, she went straight back to the house to arrange it.

But the new King of Nanping is different.

He hurried back to his house from the palace, and as soon as he returned home, he was full of resentment.

"You dog slaves, is this how I teach you to do things?"

His anger was incomprehensible to the many attendants who stayed at the house.

They didn't do anything, so why did the master accuse him?

These probing eyes fell on the right prime minister, making the anger in his heart even more difficult to calm down.

But now, he has more important things to do.

"You all come here to me! I want you to do something!"

In fact, he had already figured it out on the way back home.

What the emperor wants is to see an army of 100,000 people, so why not find 100,000 ordinary people to pretend to be an army?

In two days, it is not difficult to gather 100,000 people from other places.

Money can make all the difference. He believes that as long as the money is in place, nothing will be difficult.

"I want you to take all the cash in your house and find 100,000 strong men for me to gather in Youzhou in one day!"

Youzhou is not too far from the main camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and just barely noticeable.

He had carefully considered where to gather the manpower he had found.

As long as Youzhou now conducts a quick military training for the people, and rushes to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing before the last minute, they can successfully muddle through.

Since the Dog Emperor wants to reward the soldiers, it is natural that these common people who have been rewarded inexplicably will be grateful for his kindness and become his confidants.

And he also gained a lot of manpower that he could mobilize overnight.

The right prime minister becomes more and more beautiful the more I think about it, and it is not an exaggeration to think about it.

But Ah Cha just wanted to laugh.

Zuoqiuge was also helpless when he came to deliver the message.

"Goddess, King Nanping's move is no less than trying to conquer a hundred thousand troops within two days. It is pure fantasy."

Although he didn't know much about the various matters regarding the military conquest, he also knew that even if the emperor ordered a military conquest, it would still take a month or two to prepare.

The behavior of the Right Prime Minister today is not an exaggeration to describe as crazy.

"Goddess, do we still want to stop the Right Prime Minister from marching in disguise?"

Stop?

How is that possible?

What she wants is for the Right Prime Minister to shoot herself in the foot.

A slight smile appeared on Ah Cha's lips.

"There's no need to stop him, we just need to collect evidence."

"In order to bribe these people, he must have almost spent all his money. If I guessed correctly, his next step is to sell off all the property in his hands."

After all, she has met the Right Prime Minister several times, and she still knows the Right Prime Minister's character very well.

Assuming that one tael of silver is given to each common person, one hundred thousand people also need one hundred thousand taels of silver.

Moreover, these are still extraordinary times, and the Prime Minister has to spend more money to get the desired effect.

With no money in hand, the right prime minister will inevitably focus on his own property shop. This is a godsend opportunity for them.

Opportunities have come to her door, so there is no reason for her to sit still and wait for death.

"You focus on acquiring the real estate shops sold by the Ji family. Don't expose my existence. After the limelight passes, transform them into bases for collecting information and us."

The attack on the Right Prime Minister should be fast, accurate, and ruthless, and after those things become their own, they can also attract some of the Right Prime Minister's people to take the bait, so why wouldn't she do it?

Zuoqiuge instantly understood the meaning of her words, with a brisk smile on his face.

What is different from the atmosphere here is that the Right Prime Minister's side seems a bit gloomy.

The staff who usually followed the right minister to make suggestions were now left in the fiefdom to look after the army, but there was no one available around him.

"Master, the money we have in our account is not enough to bribe the people."

No more silver?

Then how else can they bribe the people?

The Right Prime Minister frowned deeply, "But we must bribe the people to disguise themselves as an army."

As long as he gathers enough 100,000 people, he can accept the emperor's decree of becoming king with peace of mind, and he can also sue the people for trying to illegally appropriate his money.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, the person who came to deliver the news took the initiative and said: "Master, otherwise we should bribe less people."

"How is that possible!" The right minister suddenly raised his voice, "If there is one less commoner, the emperor will question me!"

The man was about to cry but had no tears, so he had no choice but to say: "But the money in the account will be gone if I try to bribe a few people."

"Every young man needs two taels of silver. There are only fifty thousand taels of silver in the account. There is not much money left from the silver we took earlier."

If he didn't really have no money, how could he come to report to the right minister?

"You don't have to worry about anything else, just buy the people for me." As the right minister said, he took out a large pile of property and shop land deeds from a box and handed them all to him. "If the money in the account is not enough, it will not be enough." Well, you can sell these first and exchange them for cash."

Time was running out, and he had to prepare a lot of things to deal with the army's reward, but he didn't have time to worry about that.

For a time, rumors spread vaguely in Beijing.

"Goddess, your goal has been achieved, what should we do next?"

When Zuoqiuge came to report, the joy and energy on his face could not be concealed at any cost.

His appearance made Acha look at him several times.

"We don't have to do anything next. We can just wait and watch the excitement from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing in two days."

"Now you send a letter to the eldest princess and Concubine Chen, and ask them to wait together."

It must be said that Zuoqiug was confused by her words.

Why didn't he see what kind of medicine was sold in Acha Gourd?

At the same time, Yan State.

"Master, all our men have been deployed. The men of the old emperor and several other princes have also been mixed with our people."

Chu Xingbai pointed his gaze to the north, which was the direction of Daxing.

The sky has turned dark, as if a curtain has been drawn over the entire sky, making it unpredictable.

"Ah Cha, if you wait for me longer, I will succeed."

Yes, tonight is the time when he plans to regain his position as the king of Yan Kingdom.

Chu Xingbai knew very well that both he who was trembling in the Yan Kingdom and Acha who was anxious in Daxing had been waiting for this day for a long time.

If he doesn't take action against the old emperor of Yan State, then he will break his promise to Ah Cha.

"Master, all the attendants in the palace have been brought down by our hands. The palace is now silent." "Is it quiet?" Chu Xingbai's lips curved into a bloodthirsty smile, "Then give the order. Well, it’s time for us to make this imperial city lively.”

"Shhhhh-"

As he drew the long arrow and shot it at the guard guarding the gate of the imperial city, a loud sound echoed in the sky.

"kill--"

Chu Xingbai rushed to the front and killed all the guards who tried to stop him.

Tonight, he has only one purpose: to bloodbath the palace and regain the throne that should belong to him.

The sleeping palace of the king of Yan State.

"Your Majesty, it's bad! The prince has rebelled!"

"Now the prince has led his men to attack the imperial city!"

The king of Yan State was suddenly frightened and lost his mind, "What? You said... the prince has rebelled... against him?"

"Your Majesty, please hurry up and walk through the secret passage. The prince is less than a hundred meters away from here!"

"Okay, okay! I'm going to leave now, I'm going to take the secret passage..."

The king of Yan State jumped down from the bed in a hurry. He was about to reach the entrance of the secret passage, but was blocked by a sharp arrow.

"What? Father... no, maybe it would be more appropriate to call you uncle."

"I wonder where the emperor is planning to go in the dead of night?"

The moment he heard this title, the King of Yan's legs went weak and he immediately collapsed to the ground.

"Xingbai, if you don't...don't come here, I have made you the crown prince, what else do you want..."

Every time Chu Xingbai took a step closer to him, his body would tremble a little.

"Xingbai, whatever you want, I can satisfy you, but I just ask you not to attack me..."

Hearing what he said sincerely, Chu Xingbai sneered again and again.

"Why didn't the emperor say this when he killed my father, kidnapped my mother, and sent me to Daxing as a hostage?"

"Now that I have returned from Daxing safely, you still pretended to give me the status of a prince, and also made me the crown prince. You are really considerate."

"锃——" Chu Xingbai put the long sword in his hand directly on his neck, "What I want tonight is very simple. If you want to abdicate, hand over the throne, jade seal and military talisman to me."

The emperor couldn't be killed until he was firmly on the throne. He didn't ask for the emperor to pay with blood now, as long as he could solve Acha's urgent need first.

And the flame of hope suddenly rose in the eyes of the King of Yan Kingdom, "Okay, okay! I will write it now! I will write it right away!"

Chu Xingbai did not put away his long sword. While he was writing the edict, his eyes remained on him, looking up and down.

The person in front of him was the source of his pain for so many years.

If it hadn't been for him, how could he have left Daxing as a pledge?

"Xingbai, you see my abdication edict has been written. I can give you the jade seal and military talisman now. Can you let me go now?"

The flattering smile of the King of Yan was particularly dazzling in Chu Xingbai's eyes.

"Let you go? Your uncle is really old." He sneered and stuffed a pill into the mouth of the king of Yan State first. "Don't worry, uncle, take this pill. I guarantee you a long life." .”

The King of Yan's face instantly turned pale, and he pointed at him with a trembling finger, "Chu Xingbai, you——"

But Chu Xingbai no longer wanted to give him a chance to speak.

"Here comes someone! The late emperor is old and unconscious. He has been transferred to the palace to rest in his old age!"

After taking the person away, he looked at the empty and bloody palace alone and smiled silently.

The most regrettable thing about tonight was that he could not kill the king of Yan State.

But with the pills given by Ah Cha, his "good" uncle must have been able to live a life worse than death every day.

After everything is over, he must kill his enemies and avenge his father, mother and former self.

"Master, we have eliminated all the princes. There has been no other turmoil in the capital. All the aristocratic families and important officials in the court have jointly signed a letter to welcome the master to the throne."

The sky was white with fish belly, and a few rays of light were faintly revealed.

"Okay, then I will ascend the throne tomorrow."

"This abdication edict will be announced to the world today."

The news here will soon spread to Daxing, and he knows that Acha will definitely receive the news.

"Goddess, Mr. Chu has received news."

The moment he saw Zuoqiuge's smiling face, Acha's high-spirited heart relaxed.

"Mr. Chu has bloodbathed the Imperial Palace of the State of Yan last night and obtained the abdication edict, jade seals and military talismans. The enthronement ceremony will be held early today."

"This news is the latest news from the Kingdom of Yan sent by Master Chu Fei Ge."

Ah Cha stretched out his hand and took the letter.

It's not quite right to call it a letter, because there are only ten big characters on it: [Ah Cha, I did it, Daxing is waiting for me. 】

Ah Cha lowered his eyes in relief and sighed, "He did indeed do it."

Chu Xingbai did not lie to her, he really got the position of king of Yan country in more than a month.

Unconsciously, her eyes became moist.

"Okay, let's tell the eldest princess the news. Our show will begin tomorrow."

These two days were enough for her to conduct a detailed investigation of the forces of the right prime minister. She knew everything that should be discovered and what should not be discovered.

Tomorrow will be the time for her to settle the accounts with the Prime Minister.

At this time, the air pressure in the Imperial Study Room was extremely low.

"What?! You said that Chu Xingbai has actually ascended the throne as the new king of Yan?!"

"My subordinates have verified it and the information is correct."

"So what you're saying is that I personally raised a tiger cub and released it back into the wild, turning it into the biggest threat to our Daxing?"

The person who came to deliver the news could not resist the emperor's questioning, so he could only turn his attention to Jinlan for help.

"Your Majesty, please don't get angry. It will be bad for you if you get angry."

Jin Lan pretended to be next to him and gently rubbed his shoulders.

"I think there is nothing wrong with the former Chu Gongzi transforming into the current King of Yan."

"At least His Majesty still has a lot of leverage in his hands, and he can rely on these to threaten him."

"In the future, our Daxing will be able to naturally overtake the Yan Kingdom."

"Compared to the King of Yan State, I think the King of Nanping is the biggest threat. Your Majesty, please don't forget what day tomorrow is."

The emperor thought carefully.

Yes, compared to Chu Xingbai, who was far away in a foreign country, King Nanping, who was causing trouble right under his nose, was the biggest threat.

No matter how Chu Xingbai stirs up troubles in Yan State, it is still Yan State's business. As long as it does not infringe on Daxing, it will be fine.

But King Nanping was different.

If I don't deal with him anymore, the entire Daxing will suffer, and even my own throne will be unstable.

After the emperor figured this out, he waved his hand.

"That's all. Since he has the ability to sit on the throne of Yan Kingdom, let's take it."

"It just depends on how the goddess will deal with King Nanping tomorrow."

At the same time, at the Youxiang Mansion, no, it should be called the Nanping Palace now, the Youxiang was very busy.

"Are you ready to find the 100,000 civilians pretending to be soldiers?"

"Preparation... almost ready..."

"Almost?" The right minister frowned, "Almost by how much?"

Tomorrow is the deadline for the emperor to reward the soldiers. If he can't directly take out the men, there is only one way to go.

"My subordinates have... tried their best, but there are still 50,000 people left..."

The subordinate's voice became softer and softer, but the anger in the right prime minister's heart grew louder and louder.

"It's a difference of 50,000 people. Is this what you said?!"

"Do you know that if His Majesty holds me to account, both my life and your life will be in danger! How dare you deceive me now? You——"

"Master, what's wrong, we are monitoring His Majesty's manpower reports. Your Majesty has been sending people to keep an eye on the movements of our army heading to the outskirts of Beijing!"

The right prime minister raised his hand high and was stunned.

The emperor sent someone to keep an eye on him, which meant that he didn't want to let him go.

The army was supposed to be dispatched from the fiefdom. The fiefdom did not have the emperor's manpower, but Youzhou did.

At the moment, he is still 50,000 men short. Compared with the 100,000-strong army, it will be easy for the emperor to spot the clues.

The only plan for now is to make dangerous moves.

"Take the 50,000 people you found from Youzhou to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing quickly!"

Now it was the subordinate's turn to pause.

"Master, there are still fifty thousand people..."

"Then 50,000 people, I, the king, will come up with a solution!"

The right minister used all his strength to yell out these words.

But he was the only one who knew that he was thinking of a way, but in fact his star was pounding, and his bad premonition was getting stronger.

"I want to enter the palace to meet His Majesty!"

He couldn't make up the difference of 50,000 people, but he could find a reason to deal with it first.

He didn't know it at the moment, but when he saw the emperor, he would meet Acha again.

"I see your Majesty."

There was a hypocritical smile on the emperor's face, "My dear, please get up quickly."

"I obey." As the Prime Minister stood up, he glanced to the side from the corner of his eye, and a figure broke into his sight.

Seeing that he saw her, Ah Cha kindly raised the tea cup in her hand to him, with a very obvious provocation.

The right minister's lungs were about to explode, but the emperor was still asking questions at this moment.

"Isn't Aiqing sending the soldiers back to the capital to receive rewards? Why did you suddenly come to see me today?"

After listening to the emperor's stiff words, the corners of the right prime minister's lips stiffened for a few seconds, "This is exactly why I came here."

"Oh? It's time to award rewards tomorrow? Is Aiqing coming here to ask for rewards for the soldiers?"

"I...are not asking for a reward."

The right minister is worthy of being an old actor in front of the emperor. He lifted up his clothes and fell to his knees with a plop.

"On the way back to the capital, the soldiers I dispatched encountered a mountain collapse after a flood. At present, only 50,000 troops have arrived, and the remaining 50,000 troops are trapped and unable to reach the capital on time."

"So I came here to ask your Majesty to punish me!"

Look, this is the art of speaking.

Even Ah Cha wanted to applaud him.

Otherwise, the right minister was the emperor's most favored minister before because of his strength.

As far as he talks nonsense and lies while still being serious, no one else can match his level.

The emperor's eyes suddenly darkened, and he subconsciously looked at Acha.

After seeing Ah Cha's head shaking slightly, he suppressed his anger and said, "Then why didn't you report to me earlier, my dear!"

"Ai Qing, don't you think it's too late to apologize now?"

His voice seemed to be under a spell, making people tremble with fear.

Naturally, the right minister was also sweating profusely, but he had to hold on.

"This matter is my fault. Because I sent manpower to rescue, I forgot to report it to His Majesty as soon as possible. Please be punished by Your Majesty!"

"Hmph! You are punishing me now! Then tell me how to prepare for the rewards for the soldiers tomorrow!"

"I thought your majesty could reward the fifty thousand soldiers in an envelope, and the rest will be dealt with again after returning to the capital."

The right minister's suggestion was given, but the emperor was not even willing to give it to her.

Ah Cha had seen enough good shows and knew it was time for him to appear.

"Your Majesty, I think King Nanping's proposal is very good."

"Of course it's okay to reward an army of 100,000 people at once, but big soldiers have many eyes, so it's inevitable that there will be some confusion. If a thief takes the opportunity to sneak into it, it won't be good."

As Acha spoke, he winked at the emperor, showing off his body language vividly.

"What the goddess said to King Nanping is quite reasonable, but I have a few requests."

The right minister's body trembled, but he still said: "Your Majesty, please speak."

"I want you to make sure that no matter what happens, the award ceremony for the soldiers will start smoothly tomorrow."

The right minister reacted for a few seconds, and then smiled proudly, "I will fulfill my mission!"

"Tomorrow, Your Majesty, the Goddess, and the Imperial Concubine will be invited to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing."

The emperor looked at him steadily and finally nodded in response to his words.

"Then I will leave first."

The emperor didn't keep him, and just let him walk out of the imperial study room.

But no one noticed that the moment he turned around, his smile disappeared instantly, and the sternness on his face was perfectly displayed in front of everyone.

If Ah Cha had seen it, he would have known that he was ready to risk his life.

But now Ah Cha still knows nothing and is focused on dealing with the problem of the Dog Emperor.

"My Lady Goddess, why did you ask me to agree to King Nanping just now?"

"If you hadn't stopped me, I might have gotten rid of this traitor and traitor long ago!"

The emperor seemed to have drank fake wine and blamed himself.

Ah Cha smiled coldly, "Does the emperor have any other choice besides agreeing to King Nanping?"

"Don't the emperor understand yet?"

"This King of Nanping was able to raise a disguised army of 50,000 people from the common people in just over a day. His ability is evident."

The emperor frowned at what she said.

"But even if King Nanping found 50,000 people, he was still half short of a 100,000-strong army."

"If he can't find so many people tomorrow, I can also punish him for bullying."

The emperor's thinking was very simple. All he wanted was to completely remove his right minister.

"Does the emperor still only want to punish King Nanping with the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Ah Cha's call aroused the emperor's confusion.

"What do you mean by this, Lady Goddess? Do you have any other ideas?"

Ah Cha spread his hands and shrugged.

"The emperor is overthinking. I have no intention of punishing King Nanping."

The emperor suddenly raised his voice, with a hint of disbelief in his tone, "If the crime is not punished, how can I get rid of him?"

"The emperor is the most powerful person. If he wants to get rid of a mere minister, should he still be afraid?"

Ah Cha's gaze was so intense that the emperor's aura suddenly softened.

"I'm not afraid, I'm just..."

"You don't need to tell me these words of the emperor. Just let the imperial army arrange the manpower tomorrow. I have my own way to deal with the rebellious ministers and thieves."

Ah Cha's words were spoken so calmly that although the emperor didn't understand the deeper meaning, he didn't say any more.

"Okay, I have something to do when I return home, so I will stay here soon."

With that said, she winked quietly at Jin Lan, and then strode out of the palace.

She left, but the emperor was still confused, and now he didn't even know what step he should take.

"Lan'er, what do you think the goddess's intention was just now?"

They were all cueed, so Jinlan naturally wanted to answer his questions.

"Your Majesty, I think it's hard to tell the goddess how to deal with it. You just need to keep the imperial army on standby. I believe that the goddess will make a decision tomorrow about the plan to get rid of the rebellious minister and traitor."

The emperor tried to think about it, but found that he had no clue, so he simply gave up.

"Here comes someone! Commander Chuanzhang!"

The emperor was meeting Zhang Ming, and the right minister was meeting an old acquaintance - Uncle Jiang.

"Your Majesty is already suspicious of the reason I am looking for. I want you to do something tomorrow."

Uncle Jiang's eyes burst out with strong hatred, "My lord, just give me your orders. I will make sure that the dog emperor dies without a burial place!"

If the Dog Emperor hadn't usurped his position as commander of the imperial army, how could he have fallen to this point.

Of course he would not miss the opportunity to seek revenge against the Dog Emperor tomorrow.

"I want you to ambush the emperor tomorrow with the private soldiers I have trained. When the emperor enters our ambush circle, we will kidnap him!"

Didn’t the emperor try every means to punish himself?

Then he will take down the emperor first and see what else the emperor is capable of!

"Your Majesty has ordered me to die without mercy!"

The pair of conspirators came to an agreement.

In the eldest princess's mansion, Ah Cha is also making final preparations with the eldest princess.

"Comrade Acha, is it too risky for you to act like this?"

"The Dog Emperor is an emperor after all. If King Nanping stabs the Dog Emperor to death in one fell swoop, wouldn't it mean that great prosperity will lead to chaos?"

Ah Cha smiled faintly, "Comrade Princess, as long as we control the news and arrange everything in place, is it still unclear whether the world will be in chaos or not?"

"What do you want?"

"Using the hand of King Nanping, let him get rid of the Dog Emperor when he was in a panic. At the same time, he solidified his reputation as a rebel."

"After that, we will remove Prince Nanping. You are the eldest princess who was entrusted to take power by the emperor before his death. The news will be temporarily blocked from the outside world. We will secretly bring the emperor's body back to the palace."

"After seven days, the world will be settled, and everything will naturally end."

After hearing what she said, the eldest princess felt uneasy in her heart.

"Comrade Ah Cha, how can I be worthy of being the powerful princess? Besides, the new world we want to build..."

"That's something that will happen later, and there are reasons for it, but the current thing is the key."

Ah Cha had actually already made the calculation.

The emperor died in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. There was no prince by his side, so it was understandable to temporarily transfer power to the eldest princess.

Afterwards, the emperor's death was announced to the public, and the eldest princess would openly discuss the throne with the queen.

The Queen's attitude has been very clear before. In the end, the power will inevitably be left to herself to build a new world.

Once this closed loop is formed, they can successfully complete the transfer of power at the minimum cost without being criticized by the world, let alone have a great impact on the people.

At this time, Ah Cha still didn’t know that things often backfired.

The day flies by quickly, and all parties are preparing intensively.

Early the next morning, Ah Cha went to the entrance of the palace.

As a distinguished guest attending today's ceremony, of course she had to go with the emperor.

In the team that set off from the palace, the emperor, Ah Cha, the eldest princess, Jin Lan and Zhang Ming were prominently among them.

"Queen, Your Majesty and Concubine Chen have gone far, do we still want to stay here?"

"Stay a little longer, I'll watch your majesty's carriage and horses go further."

The emotions in the queen's heart were very complicated.

She had received the message from Ah Cha last night, and she knew very well that if the emperor left today, he would only come back with a cold body.

As a queen, she wanted to stop the emperor because of her past friendship.

But as the prince's mother, and as a woman, she would not stop the emperor under any circumstances.

If nothing else, she also wants to see with her own eyes the establishment of a world where everyone is equal and women no longer have to compromise.

When watching the emperor's carriage disappear into the horizon, the queen wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Go back with me."

She was still clutching the letter from Ah Cha in her hand.

"According to my decree, the palace is under martial law inside and outside. No one is allowed in or out! Violators will be executed on the spot!"

The morning light was dim and the sunshine was very warm.

"My Lady Goddess, please don't let me down."

The martial law in the palace happened quietly, and no one realized that something was wrong.

King Nanping has been waiting in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing for a long time.

He almost didn't sleep last night, and all kinds of chores came to his mind, making him even more confused.

"Your Majesty, I have already placed manpower around the reviewing stand. As long as the emperor steps in, we can take action with your order."

The right minister nodded, "I understand, please step back first."

After Uncle Jiang went down, he slowly closed his eyes.

I don’t know how long it took, but the communication sound finally sounded.

"Your Majesty has arrived——"

He opened his eyes suddenly and stared straight at the door of the military camp, with a somewhat sarcastic smile on his lips.

"The soldiers under Aiqing's command are so heroic, I am very pleased!"
