The prince of love, the wealth has come to me

Chapter 162 Then the Emperor Will Be Replaced

Seeing Ling Yueqing's pitiful appearance, before she could finish her words, Qiao grabbed her hand and said, "Let's go to Li together. If anyone in the mansion is willing to go with us, take them along. If anyone is unwilling to go, give them some money so that they can live without worries."

Since Mrs. Qiao had said so, what else could Ling Feng say? She could only follow her husband's lead.

Yuwen Che said with envy, "That's great, your family is back in Li State, I still have to go to the border to fight. Alas, without General Ling, I don't know who the next general will be?"

Ling Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, this battle doesn't have to be fought."

"What do you mean?" Yuwen Che asked hurriedly. He really didn't want to fight. Every war ended in heavy losses and rivers of blood.

"Just change an emperor who advocates peace."

Yu Wenche looked speechless, as if he was kidding me. "It's easier said than done. But it's not that easy."

"Since he is unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous." After leaving this sentence, Ling Feng strode out.

"Mom, where is my dad?" Ling Yueqing was confused. They were talking peacefully, so why did he suddenly leave?

Mrs. Qiao patted her hands and said, "Qing'er, be patient."

After a while, Ling Feng came back with a package in his hand.

Everyone stared at Ling Feng's movements curiously. He opened the package and found another package. He opened it again and found another package.

It was not until the third or fourth floor that a wooden box with exquisite carvings was revealed.

Ling Feng opened the wooden box and took out a bright yellow scroll.

Yu Wenche's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, "This... this... could it be an imperial decree?"

"That's right. This is the last will and testament left by the late emperor to my father. Please take a look, Brother Yuwen." Ling Feng handed the imperial edict to Yuwen Che.

When he opened it, he found it was filled with words. Every word between the lines expressed his concern for the common people and his love for the people.

The seal of the last imperial seal is still as bright red as before despite the passage of many years.

"Uncle, what does it say on it?" Ling Yueqing asked. Since the matter was made public, she started calling Yu Wen Che uncle.

"It says that if the current emperor is inhumane and causes war, this edict can be used as evidence to establish Prince Xuanyang as emperor."

Yu Wenche replied numbly, and said in disbelief, "Could it be that my brother-in-law is preparing to..."

"That's right!" Ling Feng said, "Since he is not worthy of the position and cannot sit on the throne of emperor, it is natural that someone else should take the position."

Ling Yueqing was confused, "...were you just talking about changing the emperor?"

Is it that easy to change the emperor? Why are you talking about it as if it were just like firing an employee...

"Qingqing, you don't know that the heir that the late emperor favored was actually the second prince, who is now Prince Xuanyang."

"It's just that the eldest prince at that time was born to the queen, so whether he was the heir or the eldest son, he should be the heir."

"The late emperor observed his daily words and deeds and found nothing wrong, so he did not change the crown prince. Instead, he left a decree to change the crown prince together with the decree of succession. However, few people know about this decree, and only our Ling family and the old prime minister know about it."

"What about King Xuanyang?"

Ling Feng saluted from a distance, "The late emperor had a good opinion. King Xuanyang is a humble person who advocates peace and treats wise men with respect. He has a very good reputation in the court."

"He tried his best to stop this war, but the emperor insisted on having his own way and now has confined Prince Xuanyang to his palace."

"Most people in the court are in favor of peace. With persuasion and military suppression, it won't be difficult to replace the new emperor."

"The difficulty lies in that if we publicize Wang Zhongqing, he may not necessarily agree with this decision and sit on the throne of the emperor."

Ling Yueqing thought for a moment and said, "Dad, when are you going to meet King Xuanyang? I'll go with you."

"Okay, let's go after nightfall tonight." Ling Feng agreed directly. He had gotten to know his daughter's personality over the past few days. She was a person who never changed her mind.

After nightfall, Ling Feng and Ling Yueqing climbed over the wall and entered the Prince Xuanyang's Palace.

King Xuan Yang was sitting at the table reading a book when he heard a knock on the door. He asked in surprise, "Who is it?"

Ling Feng whispered, "I, Ling Feng, and my daughter would like to see King Xuanyang."

Since he has decided not to lead troops into battle, he is no longer a general.

King Xuan Yang was confused and hurried over to open the door. "General Ling? I wonder why you are here so late at night?"

"King Xuanyang, may I come in and have a chat?"

After King Xuan Yang realized what was happening, he immediately extended his hand and said, "Of course, please come in, both of you."

After entering the house and closing the door, Ling Feng spoke directly, "The King of Propaganda should know that Ling has been ordered to go to the border this time."

King Xuanyang nodded, "Of course I know, but I don't know why General Ling came back suddenly? Does Your Majesty have other instructions?"

"No, according to what I have observed, the Li Kingdom has been very strong in recent years, and has long surpassed our country in terms of military strength. If we attack by force, it will be like hitting a rock with an egg. What do you think, King Xuanyang?"

King Xuanyang's eyes were filled with anxiety. "What should we do? Our Qi Kingdom has been involved in many wars over the years, and our troops have been depleted. We should rest and recuperate, but..."

"I wonder if General Ling has told the Emperor about these remarks?"

"Naturally, Ling went to the palace to see the emperor as soon as he entered the city, but the emperor insisted on sending troops and was unwilling to negotiate peace."

"Alas!" King Xuanyang sighed deeply, "I will go to the palace again tomorrow to ask for an audience with the emperor and beg him to withdraw his troops."

Ling Feng said quietly, "If I remember correctly, King Xuanyang is still under house arrest, right? How can I enter the palace?"

"This... Compared to the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers of my Qi country and the people's peace and prosperity, let alone the house arrest order, even if it means sacrificing my own life, what do I have to fear?"

"Well, you are worthy of being the Propaganda King praised by the people. You really serve the people wholeheartedly." Ling Yueqing was the first to applaud.

She wasn't lying. She believed in her intuition and her first impression of people.

Prince Xuanyang had a kind face and his words were sincere. She believed that he would be more suitable to be the emperor than the one currently in the court.

King Xuan Yang then looked at her, thought for a moment and said, "General Ling just said that this is your daughter, but..."

"King Xuanyang is right. This is Ling Yueqing, Ling's daughter who has been missing for several years."

"The commoner Ling Yueqing greets King Xuanyang."

"Please stand up quickly." King Xuanyang spoke sincerely, "Congratulations to General Ling for finding his beloved daughter. This is cause for celebration."

Ling Feng cupped his hands and said, "King Xuanyang, I have a method that may be able to stop the war and bring peace."

"Please speak quickly." King Xuanyang said anxiously.

Ling Feng whispered to King Xuan Yang what everyone had planned just now.

"What?" King Xuanyang stood up in shock. "No, no, this is treason. General Ling must not have such an idea."
