The whole city was sealed off, and no news could be spread at all. Even with the masters of the Wu Sect in the palace, no one dared to make any changes. For several days, no substantive information was spread at all.
A few days later, spies on the front line reported that Tiele's army had indeed suffered a defeat, but it was not too serious. It was not a rout, but an active retreat of a hundred or two hundred miles.
Under the tenacious obstruction of the allied forces, Dayuan's Western Expeditionary Army was blocked in the northeast of Tiele, and the situation was not too bad.
As a result, the new emperor ordered that the ban on Shengming City be lifted, and everything returned to normal, but the Imperial Guards still maintained the highest level of vigilance.
However, due to the attack on the capital mansions of more than a dozen big families, the investigation has been inconclusive. The dozen mansions, together with the two princess mansions, have been tightly sealed and protected.
Jin Qilang also sent a message, conveying what he knew from the inner city, so that the two of them fully understood the situation in the inner city. Although they were nervous, there should be no problem as the army took over everything.
Only then did Ye Li feel truly at ease. Although things had been twists and turns, they had finally come to an end for the time being and the dust had settled.
Mother has successfully ascended to the throne, but of course she still needs to pay more attention. With two ancestors around, no one can threaten her safety.
Only then did Ye Li realize that her imperial grandmother was actually a very powerful character. She was secretly leading everything. The reason why the new emperor took over so smoothly was that it had been arranged long ago.
All she wanted to do was to test the character of her three daughters. The eldest daughter, the second daughter, and multiple families were secretly involved in the fight for the throne. She actually knew that the thousands of secret guards who concealed their identities were not idlers. Most of them were She knew the information.
This time, she was very satisfied with her third daughter's decisiveness and scheming. She had all the means and ruthlessness expected of a superior. In fact, if her younger daughter couldn't do it, she planned to find a successor.
As a seventh-level Witch King, his life is still very long. There is still time to train a successor.
In fact, the crown prince is over sixty years old. He was deeply educated by the emperor in the past few decades and knew all the methods. He was just suppressed and unable to express himself.
This time it involves the life and death of himself and his daughter. The crown prince knows that he is neither ruthless nor cruel. After getting some advice from his eldest daughter, he finally strikes first with force, using stormy and thunderous methods to prevent all the opponents' plots. The baby was stillborn as soon as the attack occurred.
In the name of protecting his two sisters and other court officials, the new emperor surrounded more than a dozen mansions for more than ten days and seemed to have no intention of evacuating. He searched the entire city, vowing to find the attackers.
No one is allowed in or out, and anyone who disobeys the order will be killed.
Ten days later, Shengming City was completely calm, and the surrounded mansion was unsealed. As for the enemy spies, not a single one was found.
The Queen's second sister was only allowed to enter the inner city from outside the city at this time, but she immediately received an order to return to the front line.
The Yuan Empire's attack on Tiele was indeed very fierce. The Second Emperor's Sister was one of the commanders on the front line and needed to return to the front line immediately for reinforcements.
More importantly, after the Second Emperor's sister communicated with the Supreme Emperor and the two ancestors, she had to accept this fact, and the power to control the secret guards was also taken back.
The queen's eldest sister was unable to recover due to an unexplained illness, and was forcibly escorted to the Royal Academy in the southern part of the empire for rest, along with Princess Liyue and her husband Mosley.
Although Mosley's Lisa family did not show any explicit performance this time, it was obvious that they had been the main force pushing the eldest princess to seize the throne. The queen could not do anything to him, so she could still get rid of him.
The reason why Mosley needs to be sent away is to disrupt their rhythm, so that Princess Lisa can take over the secret guard safely and make it easier to rearrange and reorganize the capital's defense.
After all, the strength of the Lisa family is still garrisons in various places. It is still relatively weak in the capital and has little influence. Under the Queen's violent and continuous methods, it was over without any time to react.
At the former Princess Lisa's mansion, accompanied by an ancestor and witness, the Queen personally handed over the secret guard leader's token, a symbol of power, to Princess Lisa.
The token is actually a pair of mother and son jade pieces. When put together and dripped with the queen's essence and blood, they can simultaneously stimulate the radiant light. Only the jade token that emits luminous light is effective will the secret guard recognize it.
If the queen uses her spiritual consciousness to wipe away the essence and blood from the mother jade tablet on her hand, the other jade tablet will no longer emit the gleaming light.
The Queen can actually change the leader of the secret guards at any time. This secret is only known to the Queen, and now Ye Li actually knows it too.
The leader of the secret guard is one of the most powerful people in the royal family. Usually only the ancestor and the queen know his true identity. Any secret guard only recognizes the cards and not the person.
The Dark Guard has been established for thousands of years. It is a secret force of the royal family. Its members are located all over the country and are all masters among masters. Many families know of its existence but do not understand its true strength.
When Ye Li took over the secret guard, she realized that she had really underestimated the power of the royal family. In fact, there were many martial kings and witch kings in the secret guard, and each master had a varying number of subordinates. The secret guard was extremely powerful. big.
In other words, in fact, the Royal Grandmother has always been sure to control everything in Shengming City, and it is far from being as dangerous as imagined.
The identity of the leader of the secret guards will not be made public. He can use all the power of the secret guards. The purpose of the secret guards is only to protect the Queen. They are mainly concentrated in Shengming City. They hide in various identities and the leader has to hide his true identity. Face to mobilize the secret guards.
After Ye Li changed her appearance, she went to a secret and ordinary small courtyard, showed her leader's jade sign, and met several main leaders of the secret guard.
Ye Li's order was very simple. Comprehensively reorganize the city's intelligence work, and distribute dozens of small transmitters brought back from Tianxing Kingdom, one to each group, and start teaching and training on the use of secret communication tools.
Based on Ye Xing's drawings, Ye Li set up the strongest hidden protective array in the small courtyard, and only the nameplate she refined could enter.
A month later, Ye Li took over all the secret guards and began to monitor the entire city and trained them to use the latest spy equipment. It could be said that everything in Shengming City and several nearby provinces was under control.
The Queen directly handed over the command of the City Guards to her youngest daughter, Princess Lissy. Princess Lissy did it openly, while her eldest daughter, Lisa, did it secretly. I can't say it's foolproof, but it can basically guarantee safety.
With the secret support of Ye Xing, the city guards were fully assisted by Ye Xing's Heart-Questing Pill and Spirit Control Technique and began to reorganize the army. It only took twenty days to reduce the number of personnel by one-third and confirm their loyalty. The royal family members immediately put on their guns.
Jin Qilang brought hundreds of people from the Magical Weapon Sect and immediately joined the Guards and became the backbone of the Guards. They began to take turns training in the military camp according to special training.
On the surface, nothing happened in this storm of seizing the throne, but the fierce battle inside was life-and-death. This is for sure. Interest and power are always the bloodiest.
Ye Xing and Ye Li set up the new real headquarters of the Dark Guard directly outside Shengming City, two hundred miles away in the mountains and forests, where the teleportation array was set up. They used the original caves.
Jin Qilang brought hundreds of people to work together, and also hid Ye Xing's advanced formations. It only took half a month to build the new headquarters, and no one knew about the construction process.
Ye Xing brought "Nighthawk" the latest and most complete computers and secret communication equipment. It only took ten days to debug and complete it. All information in the city will be summarized to the computer at the headquarters.
And Ye Li selected dozens of educated young people from the secret guards, who were also juniors in the royal family, and used the teleportation array in Princess Lisa's house to come to the secret guard headquarters and began to learn how to use computers and conduct intelligence analysis.
Ye Li decided that the secret guards should be upgraded to be able to monitor the whole country and become a secret guarding force of the country like the "Nighthawk" of Tianxing Kingdom. Princess Lisa's Mansion in Shengming City became a branch in the city.
According to Ye Li's request, Ye Xing set up multiple teleportation arrays. Each teleportation array location will become a branch of the Dark Guard in the future.
Ye Xing is also very busy. Basically, he has to translate the equipment manual, modify the computer system to Rouran text, and develop a new text input method.
Three months have passed since this series of work was completed, and everything has completely returned to calm, at least on the surface.
In Shengming City, the tens of thousands of imperial guards have completely changed their uniforms. They have brand new grass green tight-fitting combat uniforms. They have thrown away their swords and spears. They are already holding hot weapons from Tianxing Kingdom, which is majestic.
The Guards' base outside the city must undergo rigorous training every day. The soldiers who were originally extremely high-quality now have a new look.
Hundreds of backbones from the Magical Instrument Sect all became commanders of the city guards, and the most elite special forces team of fifty people took over the defense command of the palace.
