Chapter 333 Turmoil in the Four Kingdoms (Part [-])
Before waiting for the news from the hidden guard in the palace, a shocking news came.

The stalemate in Yuguo finally changed. Yang Fu led the rebel army to break through Jian'an, captured Song Yan, who had just succeeded to the throne, and beheaded the empress and the rest of the Wei family.

In Jian'an City, corpses were floating everywhere, and blood flowed like rivers.

And the person who played a key role in this battle was the former Yuguo Taiwei, Ning Tengyue.

The Ning family and the Wei family had always been at odds. After the death of Emperor Yu, Song Yan succeeded to the throne.With the enemy at hand, Song Yan had no choice but to put aside his personal grievances and dignity for the time being, shake hands with the Ning family for the time being, and continue to retain Ning Tengyue's position as Taiwei.And because there was no one in the court, he had to be appointed as a general to suppress the rebellion, and led [-] forbidden troops in the capital to resist the rebel attack.

Although Ning Tengyue is insidious and cunning, his ability to lead troops in battle is really powerful.Therefore, the rebels who had been advancing all the way finally encountered obstacles, and the two sides were at a stalemate in Chongzhou, the nearest city to Jian'an.

Go all out, then decline, decline and exhaust.

The rebel army could not attack Chongzhou City for a long time, and the food and grass supplies could not keep up, and gradually declined.

Previously, the reason why the rebels were able to become destructive and quickly approached Jian'an was simply because they had the upper hand.Because of Yang Fu's proper planning, he recruited He Wanchang Princess as an internal response, and successfully assassinated Emperor Yu.Emperor Yu died, and Yu's army was in chaos, so they were able to take advantage of the chaos and cheer up.

But the rebel army was a mob after all, and when they met the well-trained imperial army, coupled with Ning Tengyue's proper command, they soon fell into a disadvantage.

However, at this time, Song Yan was afraid of Ning Tengyue's momentum, so he issued three imperial decrees in succession, urging Ning Tengyue to return to Beijing to face the saint, and ordered that the command of his army be given to the deputy general of the army.

Ning Tengyue's heart was like a bright mirror, how could he not know what Song Yan meant?

Unexpectedly, without any resistance, he directly followed the envoy back to Beijing and handed over the general power.

Song Yan dismissed Ning Tengyue from his position as Taiwei on the grounds that Ning Tengyue did not obey the emperor's order during his leadership of the army, and put him under house arrest and ordered him to wait for investigation at any time.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Ning Tengyue returned to Beijing, the deputy general's command failed, the Chongzhou barrier was breached, and more than half of the [-] forbidden troops were killed or injured.

When the army approached the city, Song Yan completely panicked and begged Ning Tengyue to get out of the mountain again, but Ning Tengyue claimed to be sick and stayed behind closed doors.

Song Yan was helpless, before he could come up with a solution, Yang Fu led his army to break through the city!

The whole of Jian'an fell into panic, and all the people who showed any resistance were mercilessly beheaded, and the once prosperous Jian'an city instantly became a purgatory on earth.

Yang Fu personally led a group of soldiers to capture Song Yan alive in Yuguo's palace, beheaded the empress Wei, and beheaded all the members of the Wei family for public display.Song Yan knew that the situation was over, so he bit his tongue and committed suicide while others were unprepared.Yang Fu cut off his head and hung it on the city wall for three days. His methods were so cruel that all the subjects dared not speak out.

At this point, Yuguo was destroyed, and Yang Fu ascended the throne as emperor. He announced to the world his identity as the grandson of the former Yuguo Zhaoming Prince, and took the word "Ming" from the title of Zhaoming Prince, and changed the country's name to Ming.

However, what is jaw-dropping is that for Ning Tengyue, who had beaten him into a mess at the beginning, after Yang Fu ascended the throne, he personally visited the door and invited him to be an official again, posing a meritocracy.

At this time, rumors began to spread in Beijing. It was said that before Ning Tengyue returned to Beijing, he had secretly reached an agreement with Yang Fu, and secretly told Yang Fu about Yuguo's plan to deploy troops. Quickly turned defeat into victory and broke through Jian'an.

This rumor undoubtedly charged Ning Tengyue with the crime of deceiving the emperor and treason. Of course, the one who deceived was Song Yan, and the one who betrayed was the country Yuguo.

Whether it was intentional or not, Yang Fu did not take any measures against this rumor, but let it spread. In just a few days, the whole Jian'an city was full of uproar.

On the other hand, Ning Tengyue agreed to Yang Fu's invitation, and came out of the mountain again, and was officially restored to the post of Taiwei.

After taking office, Ning Teng jumped into the palace to thank him.

However, there was a sudden change.

When entering the palace, Ning Tengyue hid a dagger in his sleeve and escaped the search by the servants. When discussing matters with Yang Fu, he took advantage of his unpreparedness and jumped up and stabbed Yang Fu with the dagger!
Ning Tengyue was excellent in martial arts, but Yang Fu was unprepared. He was stabbed in the heart by him and died on the spot.

The situation in the Ming country that had just calmed down suddenly became turbulent again.

After Yang Fu died, the rebel army had no leader, and the chaos became a mess.Several of Yang Fu's confidantes and generals were all ambitious people. Seeing Yang Fu's death, they started to fight for power and profit.

But Ning Tengyue took this opportunity to rectify the forbidden army, killed the rebels by surprise, and beheaded Yang Fu's trusted generals with a thunderbolt, and the rest of the rebels, dead or surrendered, were all brought back to Ning Prance under his command.

There are rumors in Beijing and China again.

It turned out that the rumors that Ning Tengyue betrayed Song Yan were released by Yang Fu's people in order to tarnish his image among the people.Yang Fuming pretended to be a respectful and virtuous corporal on the surface, but secretly he was very jealous of Ning Tengyue and others, and tried every means to eradicate the old officials of Yuguo.

This explanation is much more reliable than the previous rumors. In addition, after Ning Tengyue cleaned up the remnants of the rebels, he immediately sent people to appease the people in Beijing and clean up the mess in Jian'an, which quickly won the favor of the people.

So, half a month later, Ning Tengyue once again ascended the throne as emperor, overthrew Daming that had only existed for ten days, changed the name of the country to Yan, and made his wife queen, his son Ning Xiao the prince, and his daughter Ning Shu the emperor concubine An Ning .

At this point, the once glorious Yu Kingdom completely withdrew from the stage of history, and Dayan began to rise in the Yunqing Continent with a strong posture.

For Song Qinghuan, this news was undoubtedly too shocking.

She had always known that Ning Tengyue had ambitions, but she never expected that he would overthrow the Kingdom of Yu effortlessly and successfully sit on the throne with such a thunderous skill.

That's right, even though it seemed like he was being pushed away, and even his final ascension to the throne seemed to be half-pushed, Song Qinghuan knew very well that all of this had long been in Ning Tengyue's plan.

He knew very well that the Wei family and the Ning family had always been at odds, and if the rebel party was wiped out, Song Yan would be the next one to deal with them, the Ning family.

Therefore, on the one hand, he obeyed Song Yanyan, leading troops when he was asked to lead them, and returning to Beijing when he was asked to return, but he had already made plans in private, and was just waiting to reap the benefits of being a fisherman.

In this world, there has never been anything groundless.

Therefore, before he left Chongzhou, he must have leaked something to Yang Fu, so that Yang Fu could break through the resistance of the Imperial Army and make it all the way to Jian'an City.

He used Yang Fu's hand to eradicate Song Yan and the Wei family, and knew that Yang Fu would never be at ease with him, so he acted first, and captured the king first, and assassinated Yang Fu in one fell swoop.When Yang Fu died, the army he led was bound to fall apart.And he only needs to act like he avenged Emperor Zhao and Song Yan, and he will be able to win the hearts of the people.

Therefore, Yang Fu and Song Yan had been fighting for the throne of Yu Kingdom for a long time, and it fell into his pocket so easily.

Sure enough, Shen Chuhan was right, Ning Tengyue was a man with a lot of ambitions, not something in the pool.

She took a deep breath, looked at Xuanying who came forward to report, nodded and said, "I see, Ashu's side...?"

"Young master has also got the news, but there are still things to deal with at this time, so I can't come back for the time being."

"Ning Tengyue succeeds, what is the attitude of the other three kingdoms?" Song Qinghuan pondered for a moment, then asked again.

"Emperor Zhao didn't respond for the time being. Liang Country responded the fastest. Now it has sent envoys to send congratulatory gifts. As for Chen Country...the situation in Chen Country is a bit turbulent right now, and I'm afraid it's too busy to take care of itself."

Song Qinghuan raised her brows in surprise, "What do you say?"

Recently, she has been concentrating on studying Yuheng Island and the Fulan people, and has little understanding of the changes in the situation in the four countries.Yin Zhan's move undoubtedly conveyed the meaning of support to Ning Tengyue, which she can understand.Yin Zhan was swayed by Shen Chuhan, and he hated him and himself for a long time, and he didn't even have a good impression of Yu Guo.He was very happy that Yu Kingdom's imperial family was destroyed.

However, what happened to Chen Country?Could it be that Su Rao has become uneasy again recently?

"For the position of the crown prince."

Song Qinghuan frowned further, "The crown prince?"

Su Jingshuo is dead, and now only Su Jingci and Su Fengming are left as the princes of Chen Kingdom.Su Feng Mingzhi is not on the throne, but he has a good relationship with Su Jingci, so he is determined not to participate in the battle for the crown prince. That being the case, Su Jingci is the only candidate for the crown prince.

unless……

She flicked the tail of her eyes, tinged with coldness, and said in a cold tone, "Su Rao actually wants to be the empress dowager?"

Xuanying nodded, "Emperor Ji of Qinshui is ready to move recently, and she looks like she will compete with the third prince of Chen Kingdom."

Song Qinghuan sneered.

That's right, Su Rao is a person with a strong desire for power.If she can't get Shen Chuhan now, she will definitely find a way to destroy him.However, she also knew that Shen Chuhan couldn't be shaken by her own power, unless the power of the whole country!

The Wuhen Palace was completely annihilated, and she had no way out, so she had no choice but to put her mind on the position of Prince Chen again.

"What does the emperor think?"

"Emperor Chen originally wanted the third prince. However, Emperor Ji of Qinshui has the support of the Empress of Chen Kingdom and her mother's family, and there were precedents of empress dowagers and empresses in Chen Kingdom. Therefore, Emperor Chen inevitably wavered a little and has not yet made up his mind. But Empress Qinshui has made a lot of moves recently, and the tasks assigned to her by the Emperor Chen have been completed extremely well, and now the Emperor seems to be gradually leaning towards Empress Qinshui in his heart."

Song Qinghuan showed a cold expression.

Su Rao is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Among the Emperor's many children, Su Jingci and Su Rao are his favorites.I like Su Jingci mostly because of his mother and concubine, but I like Su Rao because of his pleasing temperament.With Su Rao's exquisite heart, it is completely easy to win the Emperor's favor.

As far as they were concerned, once Su Rao took the position of Empress Dowager, the next thing she had to deal with was Shen Chuhan and herself.

His hands were clenched into fists, his eyes were dark and turbulent.

She must not let Su Rao's plan succeed, otherwise, she and Shen Chuhan will only fall into an increasingly passive situation.

Biting her lip, she looked at Xuan Ying, "If Ash is back, send someone to tell me right away."

"Yes." Xuanying agreed, "Does Young Madam have any other orders?"

Song Qinghuan was upset because of Su Rao's matter, he waved his hands, "No, you go down first."

Xuan Ying retreated in response.

Song Qinghuan sat on the couch, her eyes were condensed, and her face was solemn.

Shen Xing and Liu Yue were also in the room just now, seeing Song Qinghuan's expression, they knew that she was troubled by Su Rao's matter, so they didn't want to disturb her, and just stood quietly aside.

Song Qinghuan didn't think for long before hearing familiar footsteps outside the door.

It was Shen Chuhan who came back.

She got up, raised the curtain and went out to meet her.

Appearing in sight, it was indeed Shen Chuhan who was dressed in dust and dust. When he saw Song Qinghuan, the coldness in his eyes receded, and he smiled slightly at Song Qinghuan, "Ah Wan, I heard from Xuanying that you are looking for me."

Song Qinghuan nodded. She was quite confused at the moment, and she didn't have the heart to say anything else, so she went straight to the point and said, "Ashu, you already know the situation in Chen Kingdom, right?"

Shen Chuhan was startled, and the hand on the belt stopped.

He originally thought that Song Qinghuan was in a hurry to find him because of Yuguo's affairs, but he didn't expect that it was because of Su Rao?

Seeing that he was slightly dazed, Song Qinghuan probably understood his thoughts, and said with a pale smile, "The situation in Yuguo is a foregone conclusion, and neither you nor I can do anything. For me, Song Yan succeeds, and Ning Tengyue succeeds. There is not much difference. But Chen Country is different, once Su Rao becomes the Empress Dowager, she will definitely pose a big threat to us."

Shen Chuhan also looked serious, nodded and said, "You're right."

"We must stop Su Rao's scheme." Song Qinghuan's voice was cold, but his expression was firm.

Seeing that there were hills and valleys in her chest, Shen Chuhan took off his court clothes, asked Shen Xing to get a set of regular clothes, and then looked at Song Qinghuan, "Ah Wan, what's your idea?"

Song Qinghuan's eyes narrowed, "Ah Shu, do you still remember what happened between Su Yan and Emperor Chen?"

"You mean... the two of them had an affair on New Year's Eve?" Shen Chuhan didn't shy away from it at all, and his voice became colder.

Song Qinghuan nodded, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, "Don't forget, Su Rao was the one who initiated this matter, but Emperor Chen has been kept in the dark. You said, if he knew, his precious daughter secretly If he uses this method against himself, will he still pass the crown prince to Su Rao?"

Shen Chuhan smiled softly, reached out to stroke her hair, his words were doting.

"Ah Wan, you really... are getting more and more..."

Song Qinghuan raised her brows, showing a cool look, "How is it getting better? How hot?"

Shen Chuhan took her hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it lightly, his eyes turned cold, and the smile on his mouth deepened, "It's really sharp and ruthless, but I like it."

He took the regular clothes from Shen Xing and changed into them, and said unhurriedly, "I'll send someone to arrange for this matter immediately, Ah Wan just waits to see the good show."
