Chapter 948 The storm is coming
"Um?"
The eldest prince frowned. Hearing the sound of the wheelchair, he couldn't help but think of his third brother.
Then, the door opened, and the figure of the third prince really came into view.
Seeing the crippled third prince, the eldest prince immediately showed disdain: "Third brother, since your leg is crippled, you should just stay at home. What are you doing here in Chengqian Palace?"
A look of anger flashed in the third prince's eyes, and then he said: "Brother, your legs are intact, but your situation seems to be worse than mine. I can still come to Ciqing Palace, but you can't even get out of the palace gate."
"Are you actually comparing me to you?"
The eldest prince was angry, and then sneered, "Ning Qingyu put me under house arrest just because she knew I was about to ascend the throne and wanted to show off her power before that. Otherwise, she would never have such an opportunity again."
"oh?"
The third prince lowered his head slightly, "So, the rumors outside that you are about to ascend the throne are true?"
Although he had a premonition before that since his legs were disabled, the person who would take the throne would probably be the eldest prince, but when he heard the eldest prince speak with his own ears, he still felt like his heart was cut by a knife.
"Haha, besides me, who else is qualified to ascend the throne? Is it because of you, a loser?"
The eldest prince showed a proud smile on his face, "Third brother, third brother, you and I have been fighting for more than ten years, and I am the one who wins in the end..."
Before he finished speaking, the third prince suddenly raised his head and stared at him with extremely vicious eyes.
"not good."
The eldest prince secretly thought something was wrong and hurriedly backed away while shouting, "Someone, come and save me..."
Stab!
The next moment, a pocket scimitar flew out from the third prince's sleeve robe, grew in size at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in an instant turned into a scimitar more than one meter long, slashing at the eldest prince.
The eldest prince was so proud that he thought he had completely defeated the third prince. How could he have imagined that the third prince would dare to attack him in Ciqing Palace.
What's more, the scimitar in the hands of the third prince is not an ordinary spiritual weapon, but a sacred weapon.
Immediately, although the eldest prince's reaction was quick enough and he avoided the vital point, his legs still did not escape and were cut off at the knee level by the third prince's scimitar.
With a pop, blood sprayed out, and the eldest prince's body fell to the ground, screaming in pain.
"Haha, big brother, big brother, now you are also a waste. Compared with me, you have no advantage at all. Do you think you will inherit this throne, or will I inherit it?"
The third prince laughed ferociously.
At this time, the imperial guards outside the palace had arrived. When they arrived at Ciqing Palace, what they heard was the third prince's ferocious laughter and this miserable scene.
The news came out that day. The eldest prince, who had high hopes and had the highest voice and was expected to ascend the throne, had his legs cut off by the third prince and became a cripple.
In an instant, the entire Yanjing was in an uproar, and then fell into silence.
Nowadays, the situation seems to be getting more and more complicated. After the third prince, the eldest prince has also been deposed. The other princes are either young or incompetent. Who should inherit the country of Yan?
In this silent atmosphere, an even more shocking news came from the palace. In one month, Ning Qingyu will ascend the throne as king.
As soon as the news came out, the whole Yanjing was boiling, and then the whole country was in an uproar.
Soon after, the world was shocked.
The first thought of countless people was whether Ning Qingyu was crazy.
But then people remembered that there were so many talented people around Ning Qingyu, and even if she was crazy, it was impossible for others to be crazy.
This can only show that Ning Qingyu really wants to ascend the throne.
In an instant, the whole world opposed it, and it erupted more violently than Lin Mu, Song Xu and others had imagined.
During the Chengqian Palace meeting, Zhang Bo and others were still confident and thought they could control the situation. However, they found that as soon as the news came out, the situation in the country almost collapsed.
As someone outside, there are people outside who are trying to kill Zhang Bo, Ning Qingyu and others under the banner of "Kill the traitors and eliminate the witches".
"The treacherous ministers are in power, and the enchantress is in charge. They actually want to plot against the country, violate the human nature of Yin and Yang, and are heinous crimes..."
Among them, a group of people led by the current Tai Fu Du Zhou and members of the royal family reacted the most violently, calling on the imperial army and imperial guards to eradicate Ning Qingyu.
But they soon discovered that the control of the imperial army and the inner guards had long been controlled by Xu Guang and Wu Yue, and these two people were both Ning Qingyu's people.
At this moment, these ministers immediately realized that the situation was not good, and Ning Qingyu was obviously well prepared.
Just as they were preparing to leave Yanjing and join local armies in various places to jointly oppose Ning Qingyu, the Dark Night Camp had found all kinds of people who were corrupt and perverted the law, bullied the market, or raped women of the people from the homes of these opposing ministers. Evidence of guilt.
The next day, all the opposition ministers headed by Du Zhou were arrested.
On the third day, the verdict order came out. Except for Du Zhou, who wore Hua Ling and was demoted to a commoner, the other ministers contacted Zuo Tianchao, the former commander of the Imperial Guard, Huo Meng, the general of the Zhonglang, Xiao Guangsen, the imperial censor, and Lang Fengyuan, the minister of rites, to kill them all. The killing, the exile.
As soon as this iron-blooded method came out, the entire Yanjing fell into silence.
The eldest prince and the third prince in the palace were also dumbfounded after hearing the news.
They always thought that Ning Qingyu could not do without them and would invite them to inherit the throne sooner or later.
But who would have thought that Ning Qingyu would actually establish himself as king.
However, after the iron-blooded killings, although Yanjing calmed down, the opposition from the major prefectures in the Yan Kingdom became more intense. They believed that Ning Qingyu was going retrograde and was cruel and unethical.
Tens of thousands of years of civilization and tradition have made it impossible for people to accept a woman as a king.
Amidst these waves of opposition, Ning Qingyu, Lin Mu, Song Xu and others had solemn expressions and were not affected by the external trend.
Although this trend is somewhat beyond their expectations, it is generally still under control.
Moreover, they chose to release the news at this time because the time has really come.
"Are you sure that the Chu State will launch a large-scale attack on our Yan State in half a month?"
Zhang Bo said in a solemn voice.
"Based on the information investigated by the Dark Night Camp, we are 90% sure."
The woman in white next to Ning Qingyu said.
Now everyone knows that this woman in white is Yexiu of the Black Night Camp, one of the seven elders, and a martial arts master.
"Basically the investigation by Tianyan and Xichuan News Agency is 80% sure."
Song Xu said.
"fair enough."
Zhang Bo sighed, "Chu State has been controlled by demons. The attack will come sooner or later. This is inevitable. Now that it has come, it will divert the attention of the domestic subjects and let them devote their energy to the war in Chu State. "
Sure enough, three days later, when the people of Yan State were agitated against Ning Qingyu, news spread from Chu State to Yan State.
Chu and Yue have formed an alliance, and they have also united with Zhao, Man and Hu to form a total of five countries to destroy Yan.
The seven major overlords on the mainland, except Song State, which had close economic ties with Yan State and had no choice but to support Yan State, all had to deal with Yan State.
