Chapter 1863 The World Is Unified!
The reason why the emperor did this was not because he was not afraid of being kicked off the throne, but because he had no choice but to do so because the entire Beili army was divided into three factions.
Originally, only one part obeyed the emperor's orders, while the other part only obeyed King Langya.
But now most of the people who listen to the emperor listen to King Chi. The emperor's own manpower is already insufficient. Once sent out, King Langya's faction can easily control the country.
Therefore, the soldiers of King Langya's faction must be sent out to fight. This is the emperor's idea.
However, now that King Langya's son has disappeared, Xiao Chuhe is the only one who wants to mobilize the country's military strength. After all, Xiao Chuhe was from the lineage of King Langya back then.
If it weren't for this, the extremely suspicious emperor would definitely not have established a prince as long as he was still breathing.
After all, with the crown prince, he would immediately ascend to the throne as soon as he died. He was worried that Xiao Chuhe would kill him to avenge King Langya. Although this possibility was very low, what if?
But now he has no choice but to let Xiao Chuhe judge.
Not to mention, after Xiao Se was named the prince, General Ye Xiaoying immediately summoned the old troops of King Langya on the prince's order, and went with all the troops to suppress the Red King's rebellion.
However, as soon as they led the army away, Gu Jianxian arrived at Tianqi City. He slashed down the gate tower of Tianqi City with one sword, and then headed towards the palace.
No one could stop him along the way. Several eunuchs in the palace seemed to be blind as they watched Luo Qingyang break into the imperial city.
Fortunately, Gu Jianxian did not kill the emperor, but only brought Concubine Xuan out. Otherwise, Beili would have been in chaos.
Of course Wang Yue knew what happened in the palace, but he did not go to stop Gu Jianxian because Wu Xin stood in front of him.
He promised that as long as Wu Xin breaks the formation, he will take Wu Xin as his disciple. Now that Wu Xin is here, of course he cannot break his promise.
Although Wang Yue knew in his heart that Wu Xin wanted to take this opportunity to let Gu Jianxian take his mother out of the palace, he still acquiesced in the matter.
Because Wang Yue knew in his heart that as long as Concubine Xuan was still in the palace, it would be difficult for the Red King to die. Even if he was caught for rebelling, he would probably be demoted to a commoner at most.
But if Concubine Xuan ran away with a man, it would be equivalent to trampling the emperor's face into the dust, and the emperor would definitely not be able to bear it.
In fact, this was indeed the case. Wang Yue officially accepted his disciple here and was in a good mood. The emperor in the palace vomited a mouthful of blood when he found out that Concubine Xuan had left with someone.
After vomiting blood, he was still awake and announced a message in public, that is, to demote the Red King to a commoner and expel him from the royal family tree.
The desolate army that was out on the field was originally a little overwhelmed by the attack of the Red King and the Nanjue Allied Forces. However, after the emperor's decree to demote the Red King to a commoner came, a mutiny occurred in the Red King's army that night. More than ten thousand soldiers watched. With no hope of King Chi ascending the throne, he simply rebelled again.
Xiao Se seized this opportunity and led Langya's army to attack. The Red King was defeated for hundreds of miles. If Prince Nanjue hadn't led the troops to rescue him, the Red King would have been captured and brought back to Kyoto for trial.
But even so, several of the cities Nanjue had just captured were taken back.
But at this time, they were not far from the border of Nanjue, and it was difficult for Xiao Se's army to survive for a while, and the situation was so deadlocked.
Just at this time, news came from Tianqi that the emperor suddenly died suddenly. Xiao Se had to rush back to receive the throne. He could only let Ye Xiaoying take charge of the overall situation, and then rushed to Kyoto with Lei Wujie and others worriedly.
He did not go to the palace immediately, but to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. After meeting Wang Yue, he immediately asked excitedly,
"Master, why don't you save my father!"
Wang Yue looked at Xiao Se who was suppressing his anger, but said cruelly, "Former Imperial Master Qi Tianchen has a palace token and can enter the palace without an imperial edict, but I don't have one. Do you know why?
You don’t know why your father is guarding against me, right? Why should I save such a person? "
Xiao Se was speechless after hearing this. Wang Yue's entry into the palace could easily be characterized as treason. Even if he cured the emperor, his merits and demerits would at most be offset. He immediately asked, "When the Lone Sword Immortal came to the imperial city "Why didn't Master stop me?"
"Senior brother, it's because I begged Master not to stop Gu Jianxian from taking Concubine Xuan away!"
Wuxin's voice suddenly came over. He was still dressed in white, still bald, and his eyes were as pure as when they first met.
Xiao Se turned to look at Wu Xin and asked incomprehensively, "Why?"
Wuxin looked at Xiao Se seriously and said word by word, "Because Concubine Xuan is my mother, she has been trapped in the imperial city for long enough, and it's time to go out for a walk.
Moreover, if she doesn’t leave, my half-brother, King Chi, may still have a chance to make a comeback. Now that Concubine Xuan of Gujianxian is gone, King Chi’s biggest support is gone. That’s why you won so easily. . "
After hearing this, Xiao Se calmed down. He knew that it was wrong for him to come to Wang Yue to lose his temper because of his father's death, so he bowed to Wang Yue and said, "Master, I didn't think about it for a while, please don't blame me!"
Wang Yue waved his hand and said indifferently, "I'm just your master. I don't owe you anything. Just go!"
After hearing this, Xiao Se immediately knelt on the spot and said excitedly, "Master, I was wrong. Once a teacher, a father for life. Master, don't drive me away. My mother died early, and my father just passed away. If you don't want me, I really don't know how to deal with it."
The reason why he came to Wang Yue to get angry was because he recognized Wang Yue as his relative. Although he matured early, he also had times when his emotions got out of control. He only lost control of his emotions when facing his relatives.
Wang Yue saw that Xiao Se was sincere, but he was still unmoved. He said indifferently, "Go and be your emperor quickly. Don't bother me if you have nothing to do!"
Hua Jin saw that the master and apprentice broke up, so he hurriedly persuaded, "Xiao Se, you do your own thing first, I will persuade your master."
Xiao Se saw Hua Jin saying this, and said a little embarrassedly, "Master, Master's wife, I don't want to be an emperor!"
Wang Yue turned around and walked into the house, saying casually as he walked, "That's your business!"
Hua Jin didn't say anything more, and followed Wang Yue into the main hall of the National Master's Mansion.
Seeing Wang Yue's determination, Xiao Se left the Imperial Master's Mansion dejectedly and entered the palace to deal with his father's funeral.
After he left, Hua Jin asked with some embarrassment, "My husband, are you really not going to care about Xiao Se?"
Wang Yue nodded and said indifferently, "If it doesn't affect the fate of the country and us, I won't get involved."
Hua Jin smiled and said, "I don't believe that you must be soft-hearted when he is in danger!"
...
Because the border was in danger, all steps were accelerated, and the original 49 days were reduced to 7 days.
Then the body of the late emperor was sent to the imperial mausoleum, and the five eunuchs who followed the late emperor were also sent to the imperial mausoleum to accompany him.
In theory, Xiao Se should have selected new five eunuchs, but he did not do so immediately. Instead, he wrote an edict of abdication and summoned Prince Langya to Beijing at the same time.
He couldn't even wait for the King of Langya to arrive, so he asked the Marquis of Lanyue to supervise the country and rushed back to the border. The news of his abdication also reached the border.
The soldiers at the border already knew that Xiao Se passed the throne to the King of Langya, which made the Langya army more eager to fight and more murderous, and more fearless.
The remnants of the Nanjue Crown Prince and the Red King were defeated and soon retreated to the Nanjue territory, which stabilized the situation.
At this time, Xiao Se's Tianzhan Sword suddenly flew out on its own and went south, beheading dozens of Nanjue royal family members, and even the Nanjue Crown Prince died under the flying sword.
The death of the royal family caused chaos in Nanjue. Xiao Se knew that the opportunity was not to be missed, so he led his troops to attack and broke through the Nanjue border army defense line in one fell swoop, and rushed directly to the Nanjue imperial capital, forcing Nanjue to surrender, and the world was unified in name.
Of course, it was not Wang Yue who made this sword, but Wuxin. After he became Wang Yue's apprentice, he also got some of Wang Yue's true teachings.
He felt that the two countries fought each other, and the people who died were the children of the common people. It would be better to kill the emperor, and there would be no war.
Of course, Wuxin also wanted to help his junior brother. He was very optimistic about Xiao Se and Lei Wujie.
Unfortunately, the only flaw in this war was that the Red King fled after retreating to Nanjue, and no one knew where he went.
After Xiao Se won the war, he thought it was Wang Yue who helped him, which made him very happy. He thought that his master had forgiven him, so he happily returned to the court and came to Tianqi City with the nobles and ministers of Nanjue.
He did this to make the upper class of Nanjue break away from the control of the people and facilitate the people to integrate into Beili. He was even ready to let his horse return to the fields.
What he didn't expect was that when he returned to Tianqi, he found that the King of Langya came to Kyoto and left a letter of abdication.
The imperial edict was to pass the throne to Xiao Chuhe, and then the King of Langya took his confidants and continued to be his own Pirate King.
After hearing this result, Xiao Se turned around and was about to leave in anger. He wanted to go to the sea to catch that guy.
But just as he turned around, Lan Yuehou came in front of him and said very seriously, "I know that none of you cousins here want to be emperors, but someone must sit on this throne. You are not allowed to leave before this problem is solved."
After hearing this, Xiao Se immediately said, "Uncle, how about the throne for you?"
It must be said that for a moment, Lan Yuehou was moved. After all, he could feel that neither the King of Langya nor Xiao Chuhe was interested in the coveted throne.
But reason told him that if he accepted the throne, he would most likely die.
Not only would the Langya Army kill him, but Xiao Chuhe's master would also kill him.
