Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 465: Meeting

While the King of Qin was alive, Marquis Xuanwu might still jump around, but once the King of Qin died, Marquis Xuanwu would not dare to jump around even if he wanted to, not to mention that Emperor Zhaowu would never let him jump around.

After dealing with the King of Qin, the 300,000 border troops will probably deal with the Marquis of Xuanwu first, knowing full well that this guy is not honest.

So, although what the King of Qin just said about the events of the past seem to be true, they cannot stand up to scrutiny.

Some things cannot be simply stated or proven by finding a few witnesses.

"Emperor, you must not fall down. Yu Chao is in a precarious situation right now, and we still need you to take charge."

Meng Xuancheng bowed at this time.

The Prince of Qin plotted a rebellion and forced the emperor to abdicate, and also poisoned the emperor. This is already a crime of high treason. Once it gets out, there will be an uproar in the world. By then, Li Jiujun, Duke Ningguo, and a group of generals loyal to Emperor Zhaowu will surely unite to attack the Prince of Qin.

Even though the King of Qin seems to control the capital city now, the Yu Dynasty has more than just the capital city, there is also a large area of ​​land outside of it.

The King of Qin could not have been unaware of this, so he would definitely find a legitimate way to take over the throne.

The first step is to kill Emperor Zhaowu, so that the country will have no emperor. Although Emperor Zhaowu still has princes alive, the King of Qi and the King of Chu are not capable of taking important positions. Not to mention that the King of Qin will not agree to their ascension to the throne, even the emperor himself will not agree.

Next to him is Prince Wen Ruo. Although he has shown some talents, he is still too young to take on this important task.

Then the eldest grandson of the King of Qin, the adult prince, will also be eligible to inherit the throne. As long as he can convince the retired emperor, the King of Qin will be able to inherit the throne legitimately. In this way, the King of Qin will be able to quickly gain a foothold, and those generals from other places will have no reason to attack him.

Meng Xuancheng said this at this time to let Tai Shang hold on. The Yu Dynasty has reached the most critical moment, and he must hold on, not only in terms of the bottom line, but also in terms of his body.

If something happens to him, the King of Qin will have more room to maneuver. After all, the capital is now under his control. He can just make some imperial edicts to make himself legitimate. So what even if they know about it?
What could you say at that time?
Not everyone is stubborn. They do not approve of the King of Qin taking the throne, but if Emperor Zhaowu and the Supreme Emperor died at the same time, they may not be able to withstand the pressure from the other side.

After all, they are not alone, they have families and clans behind them. If they die, it is for the greater good. But if they drag down their entire families, it is inevitable that people will think twice.

It is possible that they will bow their heads under pressure. Even if there are three or five people with backbone, what can they do?

Is it normal for many people to die when a new ruler takes over?
The emperor understood the implication of Meng Xuancheng's words, and immediately swept away the depression and loss he had just felt. He nodded solemnly and said, "I know what to do."

"Doctor, how is the emperor doing?"

Hearing this, the imperial physician first looked up at the door, and then said in a voice that only a few of them could hear: "The emperor's condition has basically stabilized, and his life is not in danger for the time being. Once the situation in the capital can be reversed, I am 80% sure that I can save the emperor."

His words made everyone feel at ease. As long as the emperor's life was not in danger for the time being, everything would be fine. Although they couldn't go out now, there were still people outside.

Princess Zhaode came to the capital to meet the King of Qin at this time. It was obvious that she already knew what happened in the capital. If she arranged for someone to deliver a letter to Li Jiujun or the nearby camp, and delay the time, she might be able to turn the tide.

"All hope now lies on Princess Zhaode. I hope she can..."

Fang Qiao did not say the following words, but everyone understood the implication. However, his tone was heavy with solemnity at this time, and it was obvious that he did not have much hope for such an idea. Princess Zhaode was indeed capable, but in the face of absolute force, she might not be able to do anything.

Now in the capital, the King of Qin has more than 50,000 troops at his disposal, so Princess Zhaode may not be able to do anything.

Everyone understood what he meant. At this moment, they could do nothing. The only thing they could do was to pray in their hearts that Princess Zhaode could turn the tide.

Outside the main gate of the capital, Huo Junyao sat upright in a carriage, and beside her were three hundred elite soldiers armed with live ammunition.

That's right, they were armed with real ammunition. As soon as she learned about the changes in the capital, she gathered her men. At this time, each of the horses ridden by the 300 cavalrymen beside her had ten homemade bombs hung on them. In addition to these, each of them was also equipped with a flintlock rifle and fifty bullet bags.

The reason she came here at this time was to negotiate with the King of Qin. To put it bluntly, it was to delay time, or to intimidate the King of Qin.

"Cousin Zhaode, I'm sorry that I can't see you outside."

Suddenly, the voice of King Qin came from the city wall.

Upon hearing this, Huo Junyao directly lifted the curtain of the carriage and got out, standing upright on the shaft, looking up at the King of Qin on the city wall.

"Your Highness, Prince Qin, this time you've made quite a commotion."

"There is nothing I can do. I must avenge my father's murder. Cousin Zhaode, you shouldn't have come."

King Qin looked at Princess Zhaode below with a bitter smile on his face.

"I don't want to either, but my parents, sister and brother-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, and nephews are all in the capital, so I have to come."

"Given my father's temper, I'm really afraid that His Royal Highness Prince Qin will kill him in a fit of rage. As a daughter, it would be unacceptable if I knew that he was in danger."

Hearing this, the King of Qin nodded in agreement and said, "Cousin Zhaode, to be honest, I have no intention of doing anything to the Duke of Ji's Mansion, and I have never thought of harming them. But you are right about one thing. My uncle is really good at giving me problems."

Hearing this, Huo Junyao's heart sank. It was obvious that the King of Qin had already decided to kill her father.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand. Given her father's personality, he would never agree to let the King of Qin ascend to the throne in this way, and he might even jump out to accuse the King of Qin.

In this situation, if the King of Qin wanted to succeed, he must kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and at the same time he also needed to stifle some dissenting voices.

In the former case, perhaps her father Huo Jingzhi could escape, but in the latter case, the chance of escaping is slim. The fact that the King of Qin could make such a move clearly showed that he had planned to take that position legitimately and without bloodshed.

If someone stands up to oppose at this time, it would be tantamount to ruining his good deeds, and he would inevitably be killed.

If he is not killed, it will be difficult for him to keep this position.

"Can you tell me what the revenge for your father's murder is?"
