The fifth prince, Prime Minister Ji, and Li Guo all have their own agendas, but they are just a bunch of people. But they all have a common purpose, they all want to overthrow the imperial power of Yi Kingdom and start over.
In addition, the emperor is now ill, so Yan Qing's current situation is indeed difficult. The emperor also felt sorry for his son and was reluctant to harm the prince. Therefore, while he was still breathing, he announced the imperial edict in front of his bed, giving the Zen throne to the prince, and becoming the supreme emperor himself. The world was already a young man's world, and he didn't want to bother anymore.
The imperial edict had just come out, and the five princes' party immediately protested, saying that the prince had hijacked the emperor and forced him to abdicate. In the name of Qing Junzi, the war started again. The Liguo army also came in response, wanting to stir up the troubled waters a little more so that they could reap the benefits. Unfortunately, the Liguo army had just emerged from Kyoto and was already being targeted by Li Xiao.
Li Xiao sat guarding the east side of the capital, while Yan Lie guarded the west side. The Liguo army entered Kyoto from the east of the city on a blizzard night. Li Xiao immediately sent someone to notify Yan Lie. The two gathered in the middle, surrounded the Liguo army, closed the door and beat the dogs.
Li Guo obviously didn't expect that the Yan State's army was so strong and was defeated by Li Xiao and Yan Lie together before they even entered the palace gate. On the battlefield, Li Xiao and Yan Lie were not afraid of anyone, let alone a rat like Li Guo who took advantage of others' danger. They would be beaten hard if they encountered them.
Since they are rats, Li Guo naturally has their own tricks that don't make them stand out, such as poisoning. The original plan was for Prime Minister Ji to bring some people into the palace to assist the fifth prince in his rebellion, and then they themselves would send people to poison the wells, and then take advantage of the chaos to fish in the troubled waters and annihilate the Yi Kingdom in one fell swoop. But the plan could not keep up with the changes, and before he entered the palace, he was razed by the Yan army.
Prime Minister Ji did not wait for the Liguo army to arrive to meet him. He thought that Liguo had changed his mind, so he had to continue waiting. According to the agreed time, the fifth prince thought Li Guo's backup had arrived, so he marched into the palace and went straight to the emperor's palace.
The other princes didn't know who to help at the moment, and they had no chance of winning if they took the initiative themselves. I'm afraid that the profit from the situation might not be so easy to reap. They all simply shrank their heads and stayed in their own palaces, not going anywhere or helping anyone.
Yan Yu's side was guarded by Yan Xu outside the East Palace, so it was considered safe. However, he didn't know what the situation was like outside, so he could only remain unchanged in response to any changes.
There was no time to hold any ceremony. The emperor was now the Supreme Emperor. Hearing that the fifth prince had already arrived at the door, he let Yan Qing support him and forced himself out of the door. Looking at the fifth prince under the steps, the Supreme Emperor had mixed feelings in his heart. The son who made him proud and proud could now wield a sword towards his father and brothers. Sure enough, power can change a person beyond recognition!
When he thought of Concubine Sun and Prime Minister Ji colluding together, the Emperor felt heartbroken again. He also disliked the fifth prince, so he turned to Yan Qing and said: "The fate is over, let the emperor decide!"
Yan Qing understood that if the fifth prince was not eliminated at this time, he would definitely be a hidden danger in the future, so he immediately ordered that he be killed without mercy. After receiving the order, the royal guards showed no mercy and tried their best to resist the fifth prince. In the end, the fifth prince was outnumbered and killed by an arrow. The coach is dead, and his soldiers and generals have no choice but to surrender. The battle for the heir apparent has come to an end.
The Kyoto of Yi Kingdom is in a state of aftermath. Yan Qing has just ascended to the throne, but his foundation is unstable and there are many things waiting to be done. This time the war broke out and the guards of the Yan Kingdom were meritorious, and Yan Yu became the queen with Yan Qing's ascension to the throne. Yan Lie, Yan Xu, and Li Xiao's tasks were completed, and they returned home after finishing their preparations.
