Chapter 219 What Are You in Such a Hurry For?

On the royal road leading from the palace gate to the eldest princess's palace, the imperial guards were already on duty to clear the road. There was a post every ten steps and a sentry every five steps. The order was strict and solemn, and no one dared to make any noise.

The ministers quickly walked out of the palace gate and headed towards the eldest princess's mansion.

Yan Qing was sitting on the garden corridor, leisurely drinking tea and admiring flowers, "Wen Jin is here with someone?"

"Yes." Shen Mo stood aside respectfully and reported, "Your Highness, would you like to change your clothes now?"

"Why are you changing clothes?" Yan Qing held the teacup in his hand and leaned against the railing. "Those ministers were still not sure whether they were sincere or not, so I went to change clothes in a hurry. It seems that I am impatient."

"yes."

Yan Qing looked at the eldest princess' mansion casually, "Shen Mo."

"My subordinate is here."

"Do you want to enter the palace and become the commander of the Imperial Guard?"

Shen Mo was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyebrows and said, "I will follow His Highness's arrangements."

"Most of the imperial guardsmen in the palace are the children of the imperial officials. They come from a privileged background. Most of them are working around to get the imperial salary. In a real fight with real swords and guns, even ten of the ten Qilin Guards will not be able to defeat one." Yan Qing sighed, not knowing what happened. While mocking Yan Chen, he still lamented to himself, "I don't want to be like Yan Chen one day. The palace that should be guarded as tightly as copper and iron walls will be easily breached."

"Reporting to Your Highness, the palace defense has not been breached. Although their fighting power is not strong, they are not really weak."

Yan Qing said calmly: "I just said it casually, you don't have to choose the words."

"……yes."

"Let's arrange some Qilin guards in the palace." Yan Qing said in a lazy voice, "You will be the commander-in-chief and transfer Ji Lin to the outside of the palace as a commander, responsible for the security of the imperial city."

"yes."

"The environment in the eldest princess's mansion is really good. I actually don't want to move to the palace." Yan Qing held her chin and muttered, "How about going to court in the princess's mansion from now on?"

this……

Shen Mo was silent and said respectfully: "Reporting to Your Highness, this is not appropriate."

"Why is it inappropriate?"

"Emperors all live in the palace. The palace is the residence of the king of a country. The palace has nine gates, which represent the ninety-five nobles." Shen Mo lowered his head, "The walls in the palace are high and the defense is tight. It is better than the eldest princess. The house is safer.”

Yan Qing said nothing.

"There are many people when the civil and military officials go to court, and there is a crowd of people when discussing government affairs. The eldest princess's palace occupies a much smaller area than the palace, so it will appear noisy and disturb the tranquility of His Highness."

Yan Qing hummed and was about to say something else when a Qilin Guard hurriedly came not far away, walked closer and knelt down on one knee: "To report to the eldest princess, the Chief Assistant and all the civil and military officials have arrived at the gate of the princess's mansion. I am seeking to see Her Royal Highness the Princess.”

Yan Qing frowned: "What did they say?"

"The First Assistant said that the emperor has issued an imperial edict to the Zen throne. Her Royal Highness the Princess has a noble destiny. She is complying with the destiny to aspire to the throne in the ninth year. She should immediately ascend the throne as emperor, rule all the people, and create a prosperous era of Yong Dynasty."

Yan Qing clicked his tongue: "How virtuous and capable I am, that I dare to create a prosperous world?"

"Master Wen said that the country cannot live without a king for a day, and I beg Her Royal Highness the Princess to come and proclaim herself emperor as soon as possible."

"Today is only the third day of September, why are you in such a hurry?" Yan Qing frowned, a little unhappy, "I will enter the palace on the fifth day of the lunar month. Let Wen Jin come in first."

"yes."

Yan Qing stood up and went back to Yunqi Palace. After a while, Wen Jin came slowly, followed by the four princes Huai Wang, Duan Wang, Qi Wang and Rui Wang.

Arriving at Yunqi Palace, Wen Jin walked directly to Yan Qing and poured a cup of tea for Yan Qing: "They insist on following, I can't stop them."

"If you can't stop it, there's no need to stop it." Yan Qing looked indifferent, "Tell me, why are you seeing me?"

Of course, being unable to stop doesn't really mean that he can't be stopped. With Wen Jin's ability and temper, he really doesn't want them to come over. They can't even step through the door.

King Huai stared at Yan Qing in front of him: "You..."

"Jiu Mei." Prince Rui looked at her seriously, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, "Tell us honestly, has anyone forced you to do anything?"

"Forcing me?" Yan Qing raised his eyebrows with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, "You want to ask if you are forcing me to usurp the throne?"

King Rui looked stern: "Jiangshan Sheji is no better than others. We must be cautious. We cannot take risks."

"When Yan Chen came to the throne many years ago, why didn't I see any of you stand up and say a word of caution?" Yan Qing took a sip of tea and said with a casual expression, "He is such a foolish king who is the disaster of Dayong Sheji."

Prince Rui frowned: "He is different. He is the crown prince appointed by the emperor himself. After the death of the emperor, the succession of the crown prince is natural."

Yan Qing hummed, and her tone became more indifferent: "So what you need is just a logical reason, instead of really considering the so-called Dayong Sheji?"

Prince Rui was suddenly speechless: "I...I didn't mean that..."
