The battle for the throne in Kowloon starts with the steady prince

Chapter 81 Your Majesty, have you finally come to your senses? (Seeking monthly votes and continued reading)

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongchang, Qin Chang'an, raised his eyebrows slightly, then nodded to indicate that he understood, and then pointed to the chair.

"sit down."

King Wu, Qin Changxiao, and King An, Qin Changliu, both breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing Qin Chang'an so calm and composed.

"Fourth brother, you already knew?" Qin Changxiao looked at Qin Chang'an with some hesitation.

Qin Chang'an nodded, then shook his head. "I had considered this possibility, but I never expected this method."

Qin Changxiao and Qin Changliu looked at each other.

Qin Chang'an explained, "It's normal for these local forces to choose to wait and see since my second brother is plotting a rebellion. After all, in the end, it's always the father's son who becomes emperor."

Qin Changxiao and Qin Changliu both fell silent.

While it might not matter to these local powers, it's a matter of life and death for them.

Qin Chang'an said, "Sixth Brother must have been forced into this situation."

"He even declared himself emperor, but was he forced into it?" Qin Changxiao rolled his eyes.

Qin Chang'an explained, "Sixth Brother has no troops or power, so his words are useless. He's just being held hostage."

"This..." Qin Changxiao and Qin Changliu both hesitated. Perhaps they had really misunderstood Lao Liu?
Qin Chang'an laughed and said, "Isn't this exactly our current situation?"

"Correct!"

Qin Changxiao and Qin Changliu immediately felt the same way.

These high-ranking officials in the imperial court appear respectful on the surface, but when asked to do something, they make excuses, pretend to comply but actually disobey, and are completely unresponsive!

Qin Changxiao hesitated and asked, "Will the situation be the same if the second prince ascends the throne? Why do these guys not respect our royal family?"

Qin Chang'an said calmly, "It is very difficult to persuade a person, especially the elites in the imperial court. It is even more difficult to persuade and motivate them."

"Then we're done, aren't we?" Qin Changliu said, somewhat speechless.

Qin Chang'an smiled. "Third brother, seventh brother, do you think that now that half of the Qin Dynasty has fallen into the hands of second brother, and second brother is aggressively heading straight for the capital, you think we are going to lose?"

Qin Changxiao and Qin Changliu both nodded.

The second son, Qin Changqing, can be described as having an unstoppable momentum, advancing triumphantly all the way.

On the other hand, their court was shrouded in a deathly atmosphere, with all the civil and military officials harboring their own ulterior motives, leading them down a dead end.

"How many troops does our imperial court have?" Emperor Yongchang, Qin Chang'an, asked.

Both Qin Changxiao and Qin Changliu were somewhat taken aback by these words.

"It seems to be...one million?"

"That's right, we have a million-strong army, what are we afraid of!"

Both Qin Changxiao and Qin Changliu realized what was happening.

Emperor Yongchang, Qin Chang'an, nodded. "The most difficult part of suppressing the rebels is their ability to roam freely. However, if the rebels choose to attack the city and we become the defenders, then things will be different."

"The imperial court's chances of winning have never been less than 90%," Qin Chang'an said calmly. "It's just that I've been considering what methods can minimize the losses."

“Yes, fighting back and forth only depletes the foundation of the Great Qin,” Qin Changxiao and Qin Changliu also realized this.

"Don't worry, we won't lose," Qin Chang'an said with a smile.

"Yes!" Qin Changxiao and Qin Changliu were both relieved.

After all, Qin Chang'an is a man of exceptional intelligence, the smartest person in the world. How could he possibly lose?

……

……

Yunzhou, the governor's office.

At this moment, the main hall of the governor's mansion was decorated in a magnificent and resplendent style, and there was also an imposing dragon throne placed there.

"Your Majesty, please ascend the throne!"

Governor Mei Yinxiang, accompanied by officials of all ranks in Yunzhou, spoke with utmost respect.

Qin Changge, dressed in a dragon robe, exuded majesty and sat calmly on the dragon throne.

"I now ascend the throne, establishing the Great Liang dynasty, and the era name is Yuanjia!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

All the civil and military officials shouted "Long live the Emperor!"

Qin Changge remained calm and waved his hand in acknowledgment:

"My dear ministers, please stand up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Only then did the civil and military officials stand up.

Witness Emperor Yuanjia's ascension to the throne, Witness Points +100!

Qin Changge sat on the dragon throne, looking at the numerous civil and military officials in the court. He didn't recognize any of them, except for Mei Yinxiang, the governor of Yunzhou. "Prime Minister, what do you think we should talk about next?" Qin Changge asked.

Mei Yinxiang cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Jin's army has changed course and is heading straight for the capital. Yunzhou is now safe. For now, the best course of action is to remain unchanged and deal with any eventuality."

"Okay." Qin Changge nodded. "Let's do it that way."

"Retreat—"

Xiao Dashan, standing to the side, shouted in a high-pitched voice.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

All the civil and military officials were extremely respectful.

Qin Changge turned around and walked back to the backyard of the governor's mansion, or rather, the backyard of the imperial palace.

Qin Changge rolled her eyes at Xiao Dashan beside her, "Do you want to be a eunuch?!"

Xiao Dashan shrugged. "I think that's how His Majesty ascended the throne before."

"Almost got it."

Qin Changge rolled her eyes at Xiao Dashan, "You don't need to attend court anymore. I'll just continue cultivating. If you need anything, come find me with your password!"

Xiao Dashan was somewhat surprised, "You've only just ascended the throne and you're already not attending court? Does Your Majesty want to become a tyrant?"

"So what if he's a tyrant!"

Qin Changge immediately hid in the newly dug underground palace.

Open the system panel.

The only advantage of becoming emperor is that every time you watch a melon, your witness points become 100!

Without saying a word, Qin Changge immediately added points to the "Heavenly Thunder Battle Technique".

【Witness Points - 110! 】

[Heavenly Thunder Battle Technique (Minor Success 90%) → Heavenly Thunder Battle Technique (Perfect)!]

Then Qin Changge maxed out the "Martial Emperor's Divine Canon".

【Witness Points - 40! 】

[Martial Emperor's Divine Scripture (Mastery 60%) → Martial Emperor's Divine Scripture (Perfect)!]

Qin Changge glanced at the panel and found that he still had 80 Witness Points. Qin Changge didn't have the habit of saving them, so he directly added them to the "Thunder Hammer" divine power.

【Witness Points - 80! 】

[Thunder Hammer (Minor Success 5%) → Thunder Hammer (Minor Success 85%)!]

Boom boom boom!
Just then, the underground palace was suddenly struck.

Qin Changge raised an eyebrow.

All that could be heard was Xiao Dashan's voice: "The seas are churning, the clouds are raging, the five continents are shaking, and the winds and thunder are roaring!"

Qin Changge then emerged from the underground palace and looked at Xiao Dashan, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Dashan said, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has sent over several women from the households of officials, saying they are to enrich the harem."

"Huh?" Qin Changge was somewhat taken aback.

"Interesting." Qin Changge's lips curled up slightly.

Xiao Dashan was overjoyed. "Your Majesty, you've finally seen the light?"

Qin Changge rolled her eyes at Xiao Dashan and explained, "These guys think that no matter who ascends the throne, I'll have a good ending, so they don't dare to offend me too much!"

"They think too highly of me; I wouldn't dare be that confident!"

Qin Changge shrugged.

Xiao Dashan blinked. "Are those girls still staying?"

"Of course we'll keep them." Qin Changge rolled her eyes at Xiao Dashan. Wouldn't sending them back offend someone?
"To become a palace maid!"

Qin Changge stroked his chin. "If that's the case, perhaps I can be a little more unrestrained."

Xiao Dashan stared at her with wide eyes.

Qin Changge waved his hand and said, "Go tell our Prime Minister that I want to create a royal armory and have him collect all sorts of high-level inheritances!"
