Chapter 196 Deeply Regretful
"With Yan Chen's current strength, not only is he unable to compete with the four vassal kings, but even the Qilin Guards are enough to make him fearful." In the courtyard of Fudu, Wen Jin brewed a pot of tea for Yan Qing and stood aside, squeezing her gently. "If the Queen Mother and Yan Chen hadn't both been poisoned, with the strength of the Imperial City Army, they wouldn't have had to be so afraid, but Yan Chen didn't dare to mobilize his troops because he was afraid of death."
Yanchen was afraid of death, and so was the Queen Mother.
This destined them to lose in this bloodless war.
Especially since the mother and son had been tortured by the poison for several months, the torment during the onset of the poison had subtly defeated their will, and their stubbornness could not last long.
"It's a pity that the late emperor couldn't see this scene." Yan Qing supported his chin with his left hand and held the tea cup with his right hand. The smile raised at the corner of his mouth was full of ridicule, "If he could see this scene... Tsk, I would feel deeply sorry. "
The corners of Wen Jin's lips slightly raised: "After Your Highness seizes the throne, you can offer three sticks of incense in front of his spiritual throne every year. The late Emperor will be alive in heaven, and he will definitely be very happy."
"Wen Jin, the late emperor is your biological father."
Wen Jin frowned, his expression instantly dimmed, and he looked unhappy: "His Highness must say such disgraceful words?"
Yan Qing turned her head and looked at him: "What? What I said is wrong?"
"I don't dare." Wen Jin lowered his eyebrows, with a bit of dissatisfaction on his face, "I don't want to have anything to do with him, so please be careful, Your Highness."
Yan Qing did not comment and said calmly: "Arrange a few people to set out for Qianwan Imperial City tonight, go up early tomorrow morning, tell all the officials about the current situation, and continue to walk around the Imperial City to get the news. The emperor is not only stupid and ignorant, but also a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death. If he continues to be in power, the great power of Yong will be exhausted. "
"yes."
"In addition, two more people were sent to see Yan Chen and told him that if he wanted to abdicate in a more dignified manner, he should write an abdication edict in his own hand. When I get the abdication edict, I would give him the antidote and protect them, mother and son. Two lives." Yan Qing took a sip of tea and said, "If he doesn't obey, both mother and son will be poisoned and die at the same time."
"yes."
Wen Jin turned around and walked out.
Yan leaned against the window, the tea cup turning gently between her fingers. She quietly stared at the cyan pattern on the tea cup, her eyes cold and ruthless, full of irony.
Wen Jin's arrangements were more thoughtful than Yan Qing's instructions: "Tell the Queen Mother that the eldest princess has ascended the throne as emperor, and she can still enjoy the glory of the Queen Mother, and Yan Chen can be an idle king for the rest of his life... If mother and son are stubbornly resisting, they will not From now on, the poisonous attack will be the last on the third day of September, and their mother and son will suffer the most painful torture and die."
"yes."
The messenger set out in the evening and galloped to the imperial city at an accelerated speed of 600 miles. The next morning, the rapid hooves of horses broke the tranquility of the morning.
The palace door opened, and civil and military officials entered the palace one after another to attend court. However, the emperor, who was still lying on the dragon bed in a rage, was obviously powerless, and was destined to avoid court again on this day.
"Report——"
As a loud and powerful announcement sounded, the spies walked into the main hall quickly, footsteps came one after another, and the ministers who were waiting for the emperor in the side hall rushed to the main hall.
"There are prophecies all over the world, auspiciousness comes from the sky, the emperor is too fatuous to be the emperor! The princes of the four vassals accept the destiny and jointly support the eldest princess as the emperor!"
All civil and military officials in the dynasty changed their expressions.
Even though they had heard various versions of the prophecy a month ago, they were still shocked.
At this moment, a shout came from outside: "Master Qin Tian Jian Jian Zheng has arrived——"
