The hidden stakings of all the forces have been basically removed, and the remaining ones have shrunk completely, not daring to show up at all.
The first thing Wu Zechen did when he returned to Beijing was not to enter the palace, but to return to Prince An's Mansion. He held Luo Tong tightly in his arms and refused to let go for a long time.
He did not expect that such a change would suddenly occur this time. He originally planned to come back after reorganizing the coalition forces.
As a result, the prince actually poisoned the emperor to death with his own hands, and the Duke of Fengguo immediately took control of the capital and sealed it completely.
When he learned the news, he had already started rushing to the capital. He originally wanted to find an opportunity to sneak into the city, but was stopped by King Jin's army.
After being frightened for many days, when King Jin escaped, a letter of safety written by Luo Tong in the capital reached him. Only then did he feel relieved and continue his mission of chasing King Jin.
After the couple got together briefly, they re-engaged in the matter before them.
Now that the situation in the capital has gradually stabilized, no one dared to have any objections to Wu Fengyan's proclaiming himself emperor after seeing his series of strong styles, not to mention that he now has the support of several of the most powerful forces in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
After securing the capital, the first thing Wu Fengyan needed to deal with was to recover the lost territory of several parties and at the same time repel the invasion of the four surrounding countries.
As for the princes in the capital who had been put into prison by Fengguo's public relations, Wu Fengyan had no intention of letting them out for the time being, but he had no intention of embarrassing them.
After all, in the current situation, just in case, it would be easier to keep them under guard and avoid mistakes.
Today, among the five borders, only the north is the safest. Because of Princess An, the Gudan Kingdom did not unite with the other four countries to invade the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But it is precisely for this reason that the Wu family and the Zheng family in the north were able to cause trouble at this time. After the unauthorized deployment of troops to the capital, the Wu family and the Zheng family have now proclaimed themselves emperors in the north and divided their kingdoms. The land of the north.
The Si family in the northwest is under relatively little pressure.
Previously, the Si family only had to defend the Northern Barbarians. After decades of dealing with them, the Si family already knew the Northern Barbarians very well. In addition, they were already relatively strong, so it was not difficult to defend the Northern Barbarians.
But now that something like this has happened in the north, the Si family has to be more careful. After all, the land next to the Si family is the land occupied by the Jin King and the Wu family army.
As for the Western Army, they are probably the only ones in the five borders who don't need to worry. What should really be worried about is the Southern Barbarian tribes.
It's possible that the Western Army will be offended one day, and it's possible who will invade who.
If the Western Army hadn't defended the Polish Army on the southwest side, I'm afraid the Southern Barbarians would have been in danger.
Needless to say, the Southwest is the most chaotic and uncertain area in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Part of the southwest army led by Chu Junxiu is now guarding the remaining one-third of the territory in the southwest. With the support of General Xi from the rear, it is struggling to resist the offensives of King Qin and Poland.
Even in order to prevent the armies of King Qin and Poland from approaching the capital, most of the troops in the Central Plains have been deployed to the southwest side to coordinate with the Western Army, Southwest Army and Southern Army to defend.
The strength of the Central Plains Army is not large, so it is very difficult to do this.
The last southern army, General Xi, resisted the Nanlin Kingdom's offensive. The pressure was already great, because as one of the main attacking countries, the Nanlin Kingdom had a very strong willingness to invade. Recently, it was learned that the civil strife in the Great Zhou Dynasty had increased. The offensive made General Xi feel even more stressed.
What's more, General Xi has to allocate manpower to support Chu Junxiu in the southwest. The ability to protect the border from being breached is already a result of General Xi's good use of strategy.
While the capital was discussing the next steps, a coup was also underway secretly in Qincheng in the southwest, which was the "capital" that King Qin changed after he became emperor.
In the so-called "Imperial Palace" in Qin City, in the main hall that was heavily guarded, King Qin was lying on the ground, his mouth and nose were covered with thick black blood, his eyes were wide open, and he was already lifeless!
On the side, Liu Yingxue, the concubine named after King Qin became emperor, was kneeling on the ground with a face full of pain, her body was twitching slightly, and she was obviously suffering from great pain.
"...Why...I am your biological sister! Why don't you even let me go! I married this loser for you and my father, and was humiliated and tortured by him in every possible way, just to help you achieve your great cause. Now you If it’s done, you’re going to have to get rid of me!”
The feeling of death gradually approaching made Liu Yingxue unable to maintain the elegance and calmness on her face. Panic and pain intertwined, making her expression full of ferocity and distortion.
She never expected it! Her brother Liu Zimo actually poisoned her body and used her to get rid of King Qin!
"Obviously you have many ways to get rid of King Qin, why do you want me to be buried with him!"
Liu Yingxue couldn't figure this out no matter what. She was obviously obedient enough now, so why did her family still want her to die? !
The gentleness in Liu Zimo's expression was the same as before, he still looked so elegant and refined, and his soft smile was as intoxicating as when he was one of the two heroes in the capital.
But there was a sharp contrast with Liu Yingxue who was opposite him at this time...
"Why? Don't you really know the reason for this?" Liu Zimo chuckled, with a little joy in his expression, as if the person who was dying in front of him was not his biological sister at all.
But Liu Zimo, who seemed so gentle, looked like a devil from hell in Liu Yingxue's eyes, terrifying and making people feel chilled all over!
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, a look of disbelief appeared on her ferocious face, and she couldn't control her screams.
"It's Luo Tong! It's that bitch Luo Tong, right? You want me to die because of her!"
"It seems that you are not too stupid, my good sister." Liu Zimo's gentle laughter, but without any warmth, was as cold as an evil ghost seeking his life.
"You have harmed her several times, how can I not avenge her?"
When he mentioned Luo Tong, there was a rare warmth in Liu Zimo's voice. That touch of tenderness that had never appeared in others made Liu Yingxue's eyes widen in disbelief!
Her brother, who was cold and cold since childhood, would actually develop feelings for a woman!
She never thought that Liu Zimo would actually fall in love with Luo Tong! She had always thought that Liu Zimo was just possessive of Luo Tong!
