Chapter 190 They Are All Trash
On the third day of August, the three kings, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise, resigned and returned to their fiefdoms with their personal guards.
On the fifth day of August, the Vermillion Bird King Lu Ming began to reorganize his troops and formally negotiated the sale of weapons, war horses, and food with major merchants.
On the sixth day of August, Yan Qing and Wen Jin packed their luggage and returned to the imperial capital with the Kirin Guard.
The news of Vermillion Bird City had actually reached the imperial capital several days ago. During the morning court for several consecutive days, the civil and military officials clearly saw that the emperor's face was gloomy, as if a storm was coming.
As the emperor's panic, anxiety, and restlessness gradually intensified, urgent intelligence came one after another like snowflakes.
"Your Majesty! Suzaku King City has begun to purchase war horses and weapons, and has accelerated the military reorganization, which clearly shows the intention of mobilizing troops!"
The court officials were shocked: "Purchasing war horses and weapons? Is Suzaku King going to rebel?"
"Without the imperial decree, the vassal kings are not allowed to purchase war horses and weapons privately, and are not allowed to increase troops privately! Suzaku King knowingly violated the law, what is he trying to do?"
Yan Chen's face was ashen, and he was furious: "Luming is going to rebel?!"
"Your Majesty, urgent report!" A 600-mile express spy hurried to the palace, "Your Majesty, the spy has found out where the regent is!"
The emperor was refreshed and said hurriedly: "Quick! Report quickly!"
The spy knelt in the palace and said word by word: "Ye Ziying, the elder sister of Xuanwu King Ye Jinglan, fell into a deep sleep two years ago. The regent found the antidote when he went to Suzaku City a month ago. Now the regent has personally delivered the antidote to Xuanwu City."
When this was said, the emperor and the civil and military officials in the court were stunned at the same time.
"The Regent personally sent the antidote to Xuanwu City? Why... why?" Some of the ministers were puzzled and couldn't help turning their heads to look at others, "What is the relationship between the Regent and the King of Xuanwu?"
The spy lowered his head, with a somewhat uneasy expression: "According to the information I have received, the Regent has never married because he already has someone in his heart. This woman is the eldest sister of the King of Xuanwu, Ye Ziying..."
What? !
Yan Chen's face turned pale. He couldn't believe what he heard. The Regent liked the King of Xuanwu's sister and even went so far as to personally send the antidote?
So, even if he was in the imperial capital, it would be impossible for him to mobilize troops to attack Xuanwu City.
Even though Yan Chen was originally wary of the Regent, he still felt a little desperate when he heard such news.
This news almost cut off all his hopes.
Deathly silence enveloped the entire hall. The civil and military officials in the court were panicked, and their faces were pale, not knowing what to say.
Auspicious signs fell from the sky in Suzaku City. Princess Yan Qing was in Suzaku City.
The emperor ordered the three kings, Qinglong, Baihu and Xuanwu, to besiege Zhuque City, but these three vassal kings dared to openly disobey the imperial order and arrived at Zhuque City privately to gather together - does this mean that the four kings have joined forces?
Previously, rumors were rife that the four kings declared their loyalty to the eldest princess and recognized that the eldest princess was the emperor of destiny... Now that the Suzaku king openly mobilized troops, did he want to rebel?
The emperor wanted the regent to send troops, but the regent did not even show his face. Now it has been discovered that the regent has a fatal connection with the sister of the Xuanwu king.
There are no generals available in the court, and the emperor's throne is in danger.
The ministers had an ominous premonition, but saw Yan Chen holding the armrest of the dragon throne tightly, his face gradually turned pale: "Waste!"
"All of you are waste!"
"I spend so much money to support you, what do you do?! You don't know anything!"
"Will you wait until the rebels surround the imperial city and drive me off the dragon throne, then you will know what treasonous things they have done?"
"Your Majesty, calm down!" All the civil and military officials knelt down, "Your subjects deserve to die!"
"You really deserve to die! All of you deserve to die!" Yan Chen stood up suddenly, tremblingly pointed at them, "What's the point of me supporting you bunch of waste? Ah! I... I..."
A sharp pain came from his heart, and Yan Chen's eyes suddenly went black, and he fainted before he finished speaking.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, take care of your body!"
Screams came immediately, and several eunuchs hurriedly came forward to support the emperor, the court officials were shocked, and the palace was in chaos again.
