Chen Mo took the tiger talisman from the wooden box. The tiger talisman was made of black jade and was very beautifully carved.
This tiger talisman can not only mobilize the Yulin army in the palace, but most importantly, it can also master some of the formations in the palace.
Because of this, this tiger charm cannot be copied.
The style of carving can be faked, but the inner formation cannot.
Chen Mo accepted the tiger talisman, and the palace minister who came to convey the order bowed and left here silently.
Sun Shouren and Lu Chuan also gathered around, both looking ugly.
They also realized that something big was going to happen when His Majesty suddenly transferred Chen Mo to Beijing and only accepted the order of the prince.
"Father, Uncle Lu, the emperor has a destiny. I must lead the five hundred Yulin Guards to the capital at full speed." Chen Mo looked at the two of them and explained in a deep voice.
"Okay, I'll turn around and ask my soldiers to speed up their pace and try to get to the capital as soon as possible to join you." Sun Shouren thought for a while and said.
Since there was an imperial edict, Chen Mo could not disobey it, not to mention that Sun Shouren could vaguely sense that His Majesty seemed to want to leave his adopted son alone.
If that's the case, being able to enter the capital first and help the current crown prince ascend the throne would be a huge achievement, and even a title of marquis would not be an exaggeration.
After all, since ancient times, no one has done more good than following the dragon.
In short, no matter what, Chen Mo should rush to the capital first to understand the situation, and they should follow closely.
If something big happens, these 26,000 forbidden troops can also play many roles.
"Pass my order. All Yulin guards should not wear armor and travel lightly." Chen Mo ordered loudly.
There is still a long way to go, and there are unlikely to be enough horses for them to replace them at the inns along the way.
In this case, traveling lightly and running on human legs is much faster than riding a horse.
Five hundred Yulin Guards were prepared, discarding most of the unused baggage, and each person only carried necessary dry food.
Every Yulin Guard is the best among the best, no matter how strong or weak they are, they all possess martial arts skills.
At this moment, we are marching at full speed, which can cover more than two hundred miles in one day. We travel during the day and rest at night. At this speed, we can return to the capital in eight or nine days.
This is because Chen Mo considered that the journey was long and not a short trip.
Otherwise, if you really run at full speed all day and night, even walking five or six hundred miles will not be a problem.
But after walking these hundreds of miles, it would be difficult for the Habayashi Guards to regain their fighting power, let alone the next day's journey.
Running at full speed, the closer Chen Mo got to the capital, the more he realized something was wrong.
The capital and several surrounding acropolis have begun to impose martial law.
Moreover, the martial law lasted for a relatively long time, and there were no more pedestrians or merchants on the roads.
The gate of the Acropolis was closed, and the Yulin Guards could not enter the city to replenish supplies. They found a village and bought some sweet water and dry food from the villagers to satisfy their hunger. Chen Mo continued to lead the Yulin Guards on their way.
Getting closer to the capital, Chen Mo stimulated his eyes with blood energy and inspected the scene of the capital from a distance.
There are many military tents temporarily stationed outside the capital. These military tents are not from the Forbidden Army. Judging from their style, they have a strong flavor of the border army.
A large number of border troops are stationed near the capital. No matter what happens, it is probably not a good thing.
After running for about half an hour, Chen Mo heard the sound of rolling horse hooves and looked carefully.
Someone was driving a carriage in the distance. The most important thing was that he had seen this carriage before. It was the royal style used in the palace. It was pulled by four horses and was extremely fast.
The driver was a woman with an extremely beautiful face, her face was as delicate as a hibiscus, her eyes were sullen under her thin willow-leaf eyebrows, her skin was as fair and delicate as snow, and her figure was plump and graceful.
However, this is by no means the key. What is more eye-catching is that the woman is wearing a full black phoenix robe and a phoenix crown.
This is a robe and jewelry that only the queen is qualified to use. Under normal circumstances, even the queen will not wear it casually and will only use it on important occasions.
Wearing such clothes and jewelry, this woman's identity is already obvious. She is none other than the current queen, the mother of Daqian!
But Chen Mo was not very accepting of this. Before he came, he had considered that something big must have happened in the capital.
When he came to the vicinity of the capital and found many acropolis under martial law, he felt something was wrong even more.
Even if he was told that the emperor had passed away at this time, he would not be surprised.
But now this matter is a bit too much!
Queen Daqian, the mother of a country, galloped out on horseback when the capital was under martial law.
What exactly happened in the capital that would lead to such a thing!
Unless someone wants to control the government and usurp the throne, they must first get rid of the emperor and empress, otherwise this situation may not happen.
The prince is not yet fifteen years old. Even if he ascends the throne, the power will not be in his own hands, but will be subject to the orders of the queen mother.
As long as the emperor is not yet fifteen years old, the emperor's edicts are far less useful than the empress dowager's edicts.
There is no doubt that it is much easier to control a seven or eight-year-old child than to control a current queen.
Therefore, if someone really wants to control the government and usurp the throne, then getting rid of the current queen is an extremely necessary step.
Otherwise, Chen Mo really couldn't figure out why the emperor and empress wanted to escape from the capital at this time.
"Everyone, follow my direction and drive at full speed. Stop when you see me." Chen Mo gave a loud command, and he rushed forward like an arrow from a string.
In just a moment, he arrived in front of the royal carriage.
Queen Xu was riding her horse at full speed when she saw Chen Mo's sudden appearance and couldn't help but be stunned.
But she did not stop the carriage and was still running at full speed.
"Wei Chen, General Xuanwu, pays homage to the Queen." Chen Mo followed closely beside the carriage and cupped his hands.
After hearing his words, Queen Xu pulled the reins to slow down the horse.
A head also popped out of the carriage. It was none other than Zhao Renmin, the eldest prince who Chen Mo had rescued before and was now the crown prince.
The queen and the prince escaped from the capital. This was a big deal. Chen Mo now had no doubt that someone really wanted to usurp the throne.
In this case, the emperor will inevitably die.
It seems that during this period, many things happened in the court that I didn't know about.
"General Chen!" Zhao Renmin smiled when he saw Chen Mo, looking particularly happy.
The last time he left the capital, he was chased by thieves and was rescued by Chen Mo.
The situation he faced now was similar to last time. When he saw Chen Mo again, he instinctively felt safe.
"Wei Chen is on the periphery to suppress demons. He doesn't know much about the situation in the capital. What happened in the capital? Why did you, Queen, take the prince out of the city?"
As the carriage stopped, Chen Mo looked puzzled and asked hurriedly.
Queen Xu did not answer in a hurry. Instead, she looked Chen Mo up and down first and then squeezed out a smile and asked, "What is your strength? Did the imperial army you commanded when you went out come back with you?"
"Back to the Empress, my minister's strength can be said to be the best in the world. Besides me, there are another 500 Yulin guards who will come from time to time.
In addition, the 26,000 imperial troops under my command will be able to return in half a month at most. "
Chen Mo's tone was calm, and there was no water in what he said.
Now that he has broken through the innate realm, even if his cultivation strength is actively exposed, it is no longer a problem.
Even if the top innate warrior in the world wants to kill him, Chen Mo can't defeat him, so he can always escape if he runs away.
Empress Xu breathed a rare sigh of relief when she heard that there were still 500 Yulin guards nearby.
In addition, seeing Chen Mo made her feel more at ease.
She knew that Chen Mo's strength was absolutely unique in the acquired realm. As long as he didn't meet an innate strong person, he could be said to be invincible with his strength.
With him by his side and the five hundred Yulin Guards, he was finally able to stay safe overnight, and he no longer had to flee in embarrassment.
"Did you know that after the two countries negotiated peace, His Majesty wanted to eliminate the demons first, and then suppress the foreign races, so as to ensure the stability of our country. To this end, he even went so far as to personally conquer the country."
Queen Xu sighed softly, with a flash of sadness in her eyes.
Despite her extraordinary background, even now, even though she was sitting in the carriage, she still acted like a queen, inadvertently exuding a graceful and noble aura.
"In order to cut off the destiny of the alien race, His Majesty used himself to carry the fate of the country and shatter the dragon veins of the alien race.
However, breaking the dragon's veins will require backlash from heaven and earth, and it will carry boundless luck, which is not an easy task. Even though he was the emperor, he was seriously injured.
Therefore, since his return to the court, His Majesty's condition worsened until his death a few days ago. "
Chen Mo stood aside and listened quietly, frowning at this time.
Because something is very wrong. Your Majesty's cultivation is extraordinary. As a warrior in the acquired perfection realm, your vitality is far greater than that of ordinary people.
There were only two possibilities for his injury, one was to die on the spot, the other was to hang his life after being seriously injured.
No matter how serious the injury was, as long as he did not die at the time, with the power that the royal family could mobilize, even if it could not be completely cured, it would be possible to hang on to his life for more than ten years at least.
However, he died when he came back, which was very wrong.
What's more, Chen Mo knew something about the emperor and knew that he was definitely not a greedy person. He would have done this to ensure that the prince could safely ascend the throne.
Or he thinks that he will be injured at most if he does this, but it is impossible to lose his life.
But he happened to die, and there was something very strange about it.
But I have to say that what His Majesty is doing today is indeed admirable.
Originally, he only felt that His Majesty would never be lenient in giving rewards to his ministers, nor would he follow him, and he would never treat him badly.
But I never thought that this emperor actually had such a side. As the leader of a country, it was good that he was willing to drive and conquer personally.
Not to mention that he has brought stability to the world for hundreds of years. This great achievement is beneficial to the people of the country.
As the emperor, to achieve this step cannot be said to be qualified, but can be said to be excellent.
This one incident alone is enough for him to leave a mark in the history books.
The Daqian Empire lasted for more than three hundred years, and there were a total of twelve emperors. The only one whose achievements could rival Zhao Huaili's was Taizong, the great ancestor of this dynasty.
"Your Majesty issued an edict before his death, which should have been passed down to the prince.
However, Pingxi King Zhao Huaifeng, who returned to the court with His Majesty, secretly destroyed the edict and wanted to make the third prince Zhao Renpin the new emperor.
They also wanted to imprison us, mother and son, so I seized the opportunity and escaped from the capital. "
Queen Xu said a lot in one breath. The words were not long, but they contained a huge amount of information.
Chen Mo once heard his adoptive father say that Zhao Huaifeng, the King of Pingxi, was His Majesty's cousin and a member of the royal family. Strictly speaking, he was also qualified to inherit the throne.
Of course, the prerequisite is that Zhao Huaili's lineage must be extinct (si), otherwise if he directly attempts to seize it, the innate warriors of the royal family will definitely punish him.
Because if they all directly seek to seize the throne, it will bring too much killing to the royal family.
Chen Mo could roughly guess his plan. The third prince was younger, and the most important thing was that he didn't have a strong enough mother clan.
Empress Xu was born in the Xu family of Wuzhou, which was considered a first-rate family not only in Wuzhou but also in the entire world. Not only did the family have an innate warrior in charge, there was even an ancestor of the Golden Pill.
If Zhao Renmin is allowed to sit on the throne, Queen Xu will be the queen mother.
Then it would be extremely difficult for him to control the government again. The Xu family would try their best to let him return power to the Queen Mother and the Emperor.
On the contrary, the third prince's mother clan can only be regarded as a very small aristocratic family, and there are not even acquired warriors in the clan.
Not to mention that the third prince is young enough and is only four years old now. It would be really difficult to control him if he ascends the throne.
As for his mother becoming the Queen Mother after he ascended the throne, compared to Queen Xu, a powerful mother of the Queen Mother, the third prince's mother was much easier to control.
If Chen Mo were King Pingxi, he would probably choose to do the same.
And to do this, the prince may still have an extremely slim chance of surviving and being imprisoned for the rest of his life.
Empress Xu will definitely die no matter what. No wonder it is too dangerous for her to leave the capital now and stay there any longer.
After supporting the third prince to ascend the throne, King Pingxi found a way to eliminate his heir. He asked a Qi Refiner to refine a pill and the problem would be solved.
By then, his lineage would have a logical reason to inherit the throne.
This plan is indeed not sophisticated, but it is worth taking the risk. The temptation of the throne is really too great.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is kind to me, and I will do my best to fulfill Your Majesty's kindness."
Chen Mo bowed and saluted, and immediately expressed his stance.
In terms of love, His Majesty has indeed spoken very well of himself, and he deserves to be rewarded.
Yu Li, who single-handedly sought stability for the world for hundreds of years, ended up being cut off from his descendants. That was too chilling.
What's more, if this happens, then I will really have the merit of following the dragon, and the rewards I will receive will definitely not be small.
And Chen Mo also knows one thing, that is, his adoptive father is really loyal to His Majesty.
With his character, if he knew that King Pingxi wanted to establish a third prince, he would never do anything.
As his adopted son, I couldn't possibly watch him wade through troubled waters alone. Since he had to do this sooner or later, it was better to strike first.
"I love you!" Queen Xu breathed quickly and her tone was slightly excited.
When the emperor died, she fled with the prince in a hurry. It was impossible for her not to be nervous and panicked along the way.
Now that she was running away here, a minister finally made it clear that he would stand on her side. How could this make her not excited and excited.
The most important thing is that with the protection of Chen Mo, a martial arts expert, the safety of the two of them can finally be guaranteed for the time being.
"Before I came here, I received an edict from His Majesty, allowing me to enter the capital and accept the orders of the Crown Prince. Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Chen Mo raised his hands and asked. In fact, he knew that asking was in vain.
Zhao Renmin is only eight years old, what decision can he make.
But you still have to go through the process that you should go through, so that you can do things well next.
