Ye Xing and his wife also stayed at the inn, not daring to take any action.
Ye Xing said, "There are still three days left. They know they have been tricked, but they just can't detoxify them. It can be said that some of their plans have been interrupted. Now they want to find your second aunt and take back the command of the secret guards."
Ye Li nodded and said, "The secret guards only recognize cards, not people, so as long as a pair of tokens are in hand, the secret guards will be ours. I guess the token in my grandmother's hand was given to me during the enthronement ceremony. Mom, the other token is in the hands of the second aunt."
Ye Xing said, "Your second aunt, is it possible that you have captured two tokens?"
Ye Li said, "It's impossible. A pair of tokens are embedded in the emperor's scepter. Each time, the previous queen personally passed it on to the next queen, and then they separated it secretly. One was given to the leader of the secret guard. The secret guard only protected The Queen alone”
Ye Xing said, "You mean that after your mother ascends the throne, the token in your second aunt's hand will be invalidated?"
Ye Li nodded and said, "The leader of the secret guards has the right to use the token only when the queen is unable to mobilize the secret guards by herself. In theory, the leader of the secret guards will always be a member of the royal family, not just a few of my uncles. It could be my second aunt, or of course she could be someone from the royal family of the previous generation."
Ye Li added, "The leader of the secret guard has always been a secret because of his great power. When the Queen is away, the leader of the secret guard has an imperial edict and can mobilize all the troops in Shengming City. Of course, the emperor's grandmother still has Now, the token in his hand has no effect."
Ye Xing said, "No wonder your second aunt can't openly come to fight for the throne. It's really unfair. But no matter what, keep a close eye on your second aunt and prevent her from taking any action during the enthronement ceremony."
Ye Li nodded and said, "As long as the second aunt can't make the imperial grandmother change her mind and let Liyue take over directly, then she can only accept it, because the two ancestors will never allow the secret guard leader to take over, which is against tradition. "
"If the leader of the secret guard with great power can seek to seize the throne, the consequences will be disastrous."
Ye Xing said, "Yes, if Liyue is indeed your second aunt's daughter, the secret guard will of course still be your second aunt. Moreover, it can be said that she is the real queen, so she will spare no effort to push your aunt to take over the throne."
Ye Li smiled and said, "Now, my aunt cannot show up for the coronation ceremony three days later, so any conspiracy will be suspended, and the leader of the secret guard must be re-appointed by the new emperor."
"Actually, most of the secret guards are in Shengming City, and there are thousands of masters. But we can't mobilize them, otherwise, their conspiracy will be useless."
Ye Xing stopped talking, but he fell into thinking for a long time. In fact, he mobilized his super intelligence to analyze the current situation.
After a long time, Ye Xingcai said calmly, "My understanding is that in the final analysis, everything is actually under your grandmother's complete control. It's just that she doesn't want to severely punish your aunt, nor does she want your second aunt to take over."
"Your second aunt is very capable, but warlike and ambitious. Your grandmother probably doesn't want Rouran to fall into constant wars."
Ye Li said, "Maybe! Now, unless the second aunt dares to attack my grandmother and my mother, there should be no problem for my mother to successfully take over the throne. With the two ancestors guarding me, this matter will not happen."
Ye Xing was not very optimistic and sighed, "Actually, as long as your second aunt has enough strength, she can still do it, because the ancestor will not really make things difficult for her, and she is a capable person. As long as she The method was not too outrageous, and in the end the two ancestors of your royal family agreed."
"After all, reasonable competition is definitely allowed, and if there are capable people, they will not object."
Ye Li said, "My mother is too obedient and has not experienced any setbacks. To be honest, she is embarrassed by the big task. That's why the imperial grandmother is so hesitant. When I think about it carefully, she actually wants to pass the throne to me or my sister through my mother." .”
"Liyue's talent and cultivation are actually far inferior to those of my sister and I. The Imperial Grandmother should know that."
Ye Xing analyzed, "Because of your giving up and your sister's cultivation is too low, your aunt and second aunt have ideas."
"It's just that if your mother-in-law can be more ruthless and decisive, in fact, your grandmother may not give up on her."
"That is a throne. It is definitely not something that a sheep can sit on for a long time. You must be decisive and ruthless."
Ye Li nodded and said, "Actually, my mother is soft-hearted. She only needs to lock up the two aunts directly. With her status as the crown prince, she is not in the passive situation now. After all, she can mobilize other than the secret guards. The Imperial Guards of Shengming City”
Ye Xing said, "That's it, seal the city immediately, ascend the throne directly, don't worry about any rituals, it's an extremely simple method."
"I even think that the fifteen-day preparation period is actually a test for your mother from your grandmother. Your mother should have a decisive point!"
Ye Li narrowed her eyes and thought for a long time. Finally, her face showed determination. She suddenly took out the phone and called her mother. After a while, she got through.
Before her mother could ask questions, Ye Li didn't waste any time and said immediately, "Mom, this is my grandmother's test for you. Now I immediately order the whole city to be cordoned off. Just say that I have received intelligence that there is a foreign enemy invasion, and I will ascend the throne immediately. The ceremony will not be held."
"I have already made arrangements for the rest. Tomorrow I will send a spy who will pretend to be an intelligence officer from Tiele's front line. You should be more decisive when deciding whether to send troops!"
The crown prince was actually quite smart. He only stayed for a while and immediately figured out that this time was actually his chance to show off. As long as he actually ascended the throne, others would have no legitimate reasons at all, and the two sisters could only stare.
The crown prince put the phone away, thought for a long time, nodded firmly, and his expression became resolute.
Her daughter was right, there was no point in worrying, it was better to take action first, and she had just received information about accidents at the eldest princess's mansion and the mansions of several big families.
Although it's not clear what happened, Ye Li's words just now hinted that it was a small move by her daughter and son-in-law. It was supposed to be three days away, but now it's tradition to take over directly, no matter what!
The crown prince immediately came to the court and summoned all the ministers who could come. Half an hour later, more than a dozen ministers could not come because of family affairs.
To only one-third of the court officials, the crown prince announced a shocking news. The front line of Tiele Kingdom had been captured by Dayuan, and Tiele Kingdom had surrendered. Last night, a large number of spies attacked more than ten people at the same time. The residence of a high official in the DPRK.
Without any hesitation, the crown prince immediately ordered the imperial guards to block the entire city, sent troops to protect the residences of more than a dozen officials, and searched the entire city carefully.
A big event happened in Shengming City. Shengming City, which had not been closed for thousands of years, was actually closed. Tens of thousands of troops outside the city quickly entered the city, closing the nine gates and guarding them. The inner city guards were all dispatched, immediately protecting dozens of people. The residence of an important official.
The palace has strengthened its defense, and ministers are not allowed to go home. This includes the eldest princess and the second princess's residence. No one is allowed to enter or leave the palace. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed directly.
In just one hour, the whole city was in an uproar. Everyone was shocked beyond measure, including the two emperors, who also came to the court and demanded an explanation of the reason for the closure of the city.
The crown prince took out two pieces of paper, one of which was written about what happened in the city last night, and the other was the information about the failure of the front line, and he spread it out for the two ancestors to see.
The two ancestors of the royal family looked at each other, stopped talking, and returned directly to the retreat of the palace. Their spiritual consciousness enveloped the entire palace.
The crown prince watched the two ancestors leave, let out a long sigh of relief, and immediately sat on the throne. Only a handful of one-third of the courtiers were present, announcing that he would take over immediately, and canceling the enthronement ceremony three days later.
The new queen immediately promulgated a series of new policies and immediately sent spies to the front line. All public activities in the city were banned for seven days, and she waited for accurate information from the front line before making a decision.
The new emperor also took the scepter symbolizing imperial power from his mother, and formally took over the defense of the palace and the secret guards outside the palace. At the same time, he abolished the second princess's position as the leader of the secret guards.
Ye Xing and Ye Li soon received the message from the Queen. They were very happy that the Crown Prince finally made the right decision;
In fact, her status as the crown prince is the greatest legitimacy, and any conspiracy is useless in the face of powerful military power.
The second princess is hiding outside the city. Due to the city's closure, she cannot enter Shengming City at all, nor can she mobilize the secret guards in the city. She cannot even know that the new emperor has taken over.
The eldest princess's mansion was surrounded by heavy soldiers, and not a single bird could fly out. The masters were also unable to go out, because the ancestors of the royal family had spread the word that everyone must stay where they are.
Moreover, the eldest princess was suffering from a strange illness and was too overwhelmed to take care of herself. She was unable to make reasonable decisions, and no one informed her that the new emperor had ascended the throne.
The old weirdos of the Wu sect from the big families were in seclusion one by one, using all their strength to fight against the toxins, but they were totally helpless. Their internal strength was not affected, but they could not control themselves and talked to themselves. Even if they sealed their mouths, they felt deep in their hearts. Still keep making false claims.
Ye Xing and the other two did not know the situation in the city, and did not dare to scan it with their spiritual senses. However, the crown prince sent a text message, and they knew that everything was under control, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
