Abandoned Prince: Summon the Sword God at the beginning
Chapter 63: The Jingnan Army Heads to Qilu
Zhao Feiyan thought to herself, "Men who don't know how to be gentle with women deserve to die. I'll leave one alive to deliver a letter to that old man."
She used some torture to obtain a confession from the surviving guards. By then, she had a clear understanding of the whole story of the palace coup.
She asked the only remaining Chu Yingwei to take a message to the powerful Prime Minister Ouyang Lu, asking him to release her father.
Zhao Feiyan had no feelings for her father who abandoned her and her daughter. Although she was not welcomed, Zhao Guangyi was still her relative after all.
Blood is thicker than water. When powerful officials cause chaos, the common people are the ones who suffer in the end.
Ouyang Lu has imprisoned the king. Although he has not yet proclaimed himself king, he has already taken over all government affairs. Not only does he control the palace guards and the Chu Shadow Guards, he also has the support of many generals and court officials.
These days, many ministers have urged Ouyang Lu to take the throne, but he has rejected them all. However, Sima Zhao's intention is known to everyone, and Ouyang Lu's promotion is a foregone conclusion.
Almost all the princes and princesses in Beijing were slaughtered. Only the uncles who had already been enfeoffed survived, including Zhao Guangpu, the younger brother of the king Zhao Guangyi.
The news of the Later Tang coup spread to various countries on the mainland. The neighboring countries had long been eyeing the Later Tang, thinking that they could take advantage of the situation to rob. If a war broke out, the Shenwu Continent would inevitably be in a disaster.
Prosperity, people suffer; death, people suffer.
Zhao Feiyan was indeed a waste in martial arts, but one day, she suddenly awakened her martial arts soul, and from then on, her martial arts practice improved by leaps and bounds.
She had originally planned to continue to grow slowly, and wait until she became a grandmaster, and then make a stunning debut to give her father a surprise. However, she did not expect that a palace turmoil would occur instead.
Now, she no longer hides her strength, but even so, no matter how powerful she is, it is difficult to escape from the siege of thousands of palace guards, so she has to take a long-term approach.
Although Zhao Feiyan had the halo of a princess, she had been deaf and dumb for the past sixteen years and had no connections. Even if some people in the society sympathized with her unfortunate experience, they could not be said to be loyal to her.
At that time, she was just a mute and deaf girl. She had no friends and had never spoken to anyone. She couldn't even read. There was no sign language in the Star Continent, so all she could do was nod or shake her head.
There are no restrictions on women practicing martial arts in the Shenwu Continent, but the little princess is a loser in martial arts and has no value in training, so the royal family has almost forgotten her.
For sixteen years, the little princess had only simple meals for three times a day, and her monthly salary was lower than that of the lowest-ranking palace maids and eunuchs. The princess could not speak or hear, could not write or understand sign language, and could only cry all day long, until her tears ran dry.
To the little princess, the palace was a tomb, and she was just a living dead person whom no one cared about.
After awakening her martial spirit, Zhao Feiyan was "reborn from the ashes". She hated her father who had such little fatherly love, but he was her biological father after all, and this could never be changed.
She planned to rescue her father and biological mother Dou when the time was right.
This useless princess who has been demented and dumb for sixteen years has no appeal at all. Only by rescuing her father can she regain her princess status.
Zhao Feiyan thought to herself, "I wonder what his father would think when he sees the huge change in his daughter whom he had forgotten? Would he regret it? Would he blame himself?"
At this time, Ouyang Lu, the powerful prime minister who had successfully completed the coup, was sitting on the dragon throne in the Qinzheng Hall. Although he had not yet proclaimed himself king, he had moved into the palace, and the king Zhao Guangyi was placed under house arrest by him in a palace outside the capital.
The palace guards and the leader of the Chu Shadow Guard were replaced by his cronies. He had been operating in and outside the court for decades and had long since undermined the royal power. He had promoted many of his cronies to occupy important military and political positions in the Later Tang Dynasty.
After listening to the narration of the guards who escaped from the mass grave, Ouyang Lu thought to himself, "This little princess is really 'silent but amazing'. She has no title yet, only the nickname 'the useless little princess'. I almost forgot about her, but I didn't expect her to become so powerful."
In his memory, Princess Zhao Feiyan was weak, deaf-mute, and mentally retarded. However, he had seen a lot of the world, so he didn't take the lucky escaper too seriously.
Ouyang Lu ordered: "Send more people to the palace outside the capital to ensure that everything is safe. As for Zhao Feiyan, the Chu Shadow Guards should send more experts to kill her."
What Ouyang Lu is most concerned about right now is political stability. He is also testing the attitudes of civil and military officials and the royal families of the Later Tang Dynasty in various places towards his ascension to the throne.
He announced to the public that the king was seriously ill and was recuperating in a palace outside the capital. He acted as regent in the name of prime minister, waiting for the opportunity to ascend the throne to become king. It was indeed a good plan.
