The inner voice was overheard, and the whole court was eating melons together

After a pause, Guagua continued:

[Many of the territories of Yeyang Kingdom were conquered by King Cheng.

In the battle for the throne at that time, King Cheng was very popular and had many ministers supporting him.

On the other side, there were also many ministers who supported Qi Yanzhen, and neither of them gave in to the other.

It just so happened that there were unusual movements on the border during that period, so King Cheng had no choice but to go to the border with his men.

Qi Yanzhen was the only one left in the capital.

The old emperor suddenly fell ill, and his illness became increasingly serious. He died soon after and passed the throne to Qi Yanzhen.

By the time King Cheng returned to the capital, everything had been settled. 】

Song Yaoyao: [Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?

How come the old emperor fell ill as soon as King Cheng left the capital? His illness became more and more serious, and he finally passed away.

The throne was passed to Qi Yanzhen. Who wouldn't think too much about this? 】

Gua Gua: [Cheng Wang has the same idea as you, thinking that everything is too coincidental.

He suspected that Qi Yanzhen was colluding with the enemy country, tricking him to the border, and taking the opportunity to do something in the capital.

He didn't believe at all that his father died of illness. He always suspected that Qi Yanzhen had killed his father and then forged the imperial edict to take that position.

Many of the ministers who supported King Cheng have been dealt with by Qi Yanzhen.

Apart from the troops on the border, King Cheng no longer had any of his own people in the court.

Even so, Qi Yanzhen did not let him go and threatened him to hand over the tiger talisman with the life of Queen Mother Cheng.

King Cheng agreed to hand over the tiger talisman, but asked to take his mother out of the palace to live with him.

The concubines of the previous emperor were of no use to Qi Yanzhen, so he agreed. 】

Song Yaoyao: [Alas, this king has nothing left. ]

Gua Gua: [King Cheng, who had nothing, was driven back to his fiefdom.

The reason why King Cheng was not killed was not because Qi Yanzhen was kind-hearted, but because King Cheng had just returned to the capital after winning a battle. If he was executed, it would give people a reason to criticize him and would also chill the hearts of the soldiers and the people.

Therefore, King Cheng saved his life.

After returning to his fiefdom, Qi Yanzhen had no intention of letting King Cheng go.

He sent many people to assassinate King Cheng, but King Cheng's martial arts skills were not to be underestimated, and the assassins all failed.

After so many years, King Cheng has redeveloped his power. 】

Song Yaoyao: [How come King Cheng has not made any moves for so many years, but has made some moves today? ]

Gua Gua: [The reason why King Cheng has been enduring all these years is because of the existence of the title page.

He heard that Feiye was very loyal to Qi Yanzhen, and that Feiye was very capable, so he did not dare to act rashly.

Now Tiye is dead and Qi Yanzhen's reputation is ruined.

King Cheng told the public that Qi Yanzhen had killed his father and took the opportunity to ascend to the throne. This time he went to the capital to avenge his father and clean up his family.

With one call, hundreds of people responded, and King Cheng led his people to the capital. 】

Song Yaoyao: [I have only seen rebellions in TV dramas before, but I didn’t expect that we could catch a real rebellion this time. It’s really worth it! ]

Guagua: [Host, it's already this late, and you're still thinking about watching a show? ]

Song Yaoyao: [I really want to see it.

This was a real rebellion, completely different from what is shown on TV.

Such a big show only happens once in eight thousand years, and I happened to encounter it. I am so damn lucky!

The dogs bite each other and both are left with a mouth full of fur. This scene must be very exciting.

So, how did Qi Yanzhen's father die? Was it Qi Yanzhen who did it? 】

Gua Gua: [Host, if you want to know, I will tell you what happened at that time.

Apart from Qi Yanzhen and King Cheng, the most popular candidate at that time was King Yan.

Qi Yanzhen relied on the civil officials in the court, King Cheng relied on military merits and the military generals in the court, and King Yan relied on silver.

Prince Yan's concubine was from the Ye family, the royal merchant family of Yeyang State. Half of the money earned by the Ye family every year went into Prince Yan's pocket.

It is said that money makes the world go round. Having money means you have everything.

The King of Yan used the money to recruit soldiers, stockpile food, and buy weapons...

His strength should not be underestimated. 】

Song Yaoyao: [I see.]

What does this have to do with the death of the old emperor of Yeyang Kingdom? 】

Gua Gua: [In the fight for the throne, the three princes refused to give in to each other.

As mentioned before, there were unusual movements at the border, and King Cheng was sent to the border.

That was done by King Yan.

The King of Yan colluded with the enemy and launched a war against his own country.

The King of Yan wanted to take this opportunity to send King Cheng to the border. The enemy country had sent several generals and a group of elite troops this time. If King Cheng went there, he would be crippled if not killed.

How can a disabled prince be qualified to inherit the throne?

In the eyes of King Yan, King Cheng was no longer a threat.

His target at that time was Qi Yanzhen.

Qi Yanzhen knew that the Prince of Yan had colluded with the enemy country and tricked the Prince of Cheng to the border.

He did not participate in this matter, but he did not stop it either. Someone helped to get rid of King Cheng, so he did not have to do it himself. 】

Song Yaoyao: [And then? ]

Guagua: [The Prince of Yan had his own people, and he directly launched a coup.

Unexpectedly, the old emperor and Qi Yanzhen had already noticed his conspiracy, and they took advantage of the situation. When Prince Yan led his men into the palace, they were killed by people who were ambushing in the palace.

Although they won the coup, the old emperor was in a bad mood. Which emperor would be happy at the thought that his own son would rebel against him?

Before the old emperor had time to feel sad about the passing of time, he was pierced by Qi Yanzhen who was standing next to him.

The old emperor simply couldn't understand why Qi Yanzhen would attack him now, when they were united against the outside world just now. He died in resentment.

As soon as the old emperor died, Qi Yanzhen announced to the public that the old emperor became ill due to the Prince of Yan's forcing him to abdicate, and died soon after.

Qi Yanzhen successfully ascended to that position. 】

Song Yaoyao: [It turns out that the old emperor was really killed by Qi Yanzhen.

Qi Yanzhen thought King Cheng would die on the frontier, but he didn't expect that he was so lucky and finally came back alive.

King Cheng must have heard some rumors, which made him suspicious about the old emperor's death.

Then King Cheng’s rebellion this time can be considered as having a legitimate reason! 】

Guagua: [Host, should we spread the news that Qi Yanzhen killed the old emperor? ]

Song Yaoyao: [Guagua, do you want Cheng Wang to ascend to the throne smoothly? ]

Guagua: [Isn’t that what the host thinks? ]

Song Yaoyao: [We don’t even know King Cheng, why should we help him?

Wouldn't it be more advantageous for us if they fought each other?

If the old emperor's death were made public, the ministers and the people would support King Cheng. In this game, King Cheng would surely win in a crushing victory.

This doesn't do us any good?

What we want is for King Cheng to believe that Qi Yanzhen killed the old emperor, and Qi Yanzhen will never admit it. They will fight each other and both will suffer in the end. We can just sit back and reap the benefits. 】

Gua Gua: [Well, it turns out the host wanted to pick up something ready-made.

I see.】
