The daughter of the first wife is a little fierce: the war god prince loves her to the sky

At the end of April in the third year of Chong'an in the Great Xia Dynasty, Chu Tianling, who attended the morning court, looked dark and sallow, as if he had aged several years overnight.

"I have a petition to submit..."

"Your Majesty, the rebels of Prince Yan have already reached the outside of the imperial city. Please make a decision..."

"Ahem... Anshun, please announce the decree..."

Chu Tianling coughed twice and waved at the eunuch without waiting for the minister to finish speaking.

Eunuch Anshun nodded in response, took out the bright yellow scroll, and began to read.

"I am the second emperor of Daxia, the sixth son of the former emperor, the Prince of Qi, who was raised by Concubine Wei. I joined forces with my uncle to murder the former crown prince and force the former emperor to abdicate. I also targeted the Prince of Yan, the legitimate son of the former empress, and his princess, and I regarded foreign enemies as nothing.

Since I ascended the throne, I have used the wrong people and the government has been in a state of disarray, causing the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people, unrest among the people, and the loss of the land of Daxia. This is all my fault. I now issue this edict of self-blame to inform heaven and earth and to make my heart clear...

The court officials below were shocked. Chu Tianling actually issued an edict of guilt himself...

"I should not have inherited the throne... The loss of our country is a shame to our ancestors. From now on, I will no longer call myself "I" and will return the Great Xia to the only legitimate son of the previous emperor, Prince Yan..."

After these words were spoken, some of the court officials were terrified, while others were calm...

Chu Tianling said no more. He took off the crown on his head with a calm expression and strode away. There were many court officials who supported him in the past two years. He knew that it was not because of his ability, but because compared with the King of Yan, he was easier to talk to as an emperor.

His former ambitions have been almost exhausted in the past three years. He does not have the decisiveness of his father, the calmness of the former crown prince, nor the fearless courage of Chu Tianze.

He is not a qualified emperor, not in troubled times, nor in peacetime.

In just half a day, the emperor's edict of guilt and letter of abdication had spread throughout the imperial city.

The families that once firmly supported Chu Tianling have gathered together to think about what to do. Of course, there are also people who are looking forward to Prince Yan entering the imperial city.

Outside the imperial city, Chu Tianze and Bai Chuxiao rode their horses in front, looking at the towering city walls. From now on, their fate is determined by themselves.

The city gate was opened, and Marquis Fan led the court officials who already supported the King of Yan and rushed to greet them.

"Greetings to the King of Yan, Princess!"

"No need to be polite!"

Marquis Fan bowed and said, "Please invite your Majesty and Princess to enter the Imperial City!"

Chu Tianze nodded, "Song Fei will leave a pair of men to take over the defense of the imperial city, and the others will follow me into the palace."

"Yes!"

After Chu Tianling's edict came out, the entire palace was filled with a desolate scene. The few imperial guards had no power to resist and were captured by the Changning Army.

As for Prince An Chu Wenzhen and the royal secret guards, they had disappeared long ago. Cui Hao took over the defense of the palace. Chu Tianze and Bai Chuxiao went straight to the palace of Empress Dowager Wei.

Chu Tianling's concubines and children are all here, including Chu Tianling, who returned here directly after his last morning court session.

"You are here!" Chu Tianling said in a hoarse voice.

"I will not go back on my promise."

"Let's imprison them in the former Qi Wang Mansion..."

Bai Chuxiao looked at the people in the hall and gave instructions to Xia Fan.

"Yes."

After the two men took their men to liquidate the people in the palace who originally belonged to Chu Tianling, the huge palace looked even more desolate.

"My Lord, my Princess, do you want to enter the palace?"

Chu Tianze shook his head and said, "I will move back to Prince Yan's Mansion soon. I will clean the palace thoroughly first."

The two of them walked around the palace, checked everything, and then walked out of the palace hand in hand. Marquis Fan and some court officials were still waiting at the gate. When they saw them come out, they hurried to greet them.

"Greetings, Prince and Princess! The affairs of state cannot be delayed. Why don't you choose a day to ascend the throne?"

"The morning court session will be cancelled recently. If there are any memorials, please send them to Prince Yan's Mansion first. There is no rush for the enthronement. We can discuss it in a month."

"Yes!"

Ever since Prince Yan entered the imperial city, people have been executed every day. When it comes to confiscating property, Chu Tianze is very decisive. There have been too many corrupt officials in the court in recent years. If he doesn't kill these people, he won't be able to ascend the throne with peace of mind. Sometimes being an emperor does not necessarily mean being freer than a prince, so those who should be killed should be killed now to avoid all kinds of nagging after he ascends the throne.

Over the past month, all the major families in the imperial city have been living in extreme caution, fearing that the Changning Army would arrive at their homes at the next moment.

The Prince of Yan's Mansion didn't care whether the imperial court could function normally without them. In fact, after the property of officials of all ranks was searched, the efficiency of handling affairs became even higher.

In the study of Prince Yan's Mansion.

"Your Majesty, the only ones left are the Yu family and the Bai family. Since the heads of the two families were arrested, Chu Tianling has not touched them for some reason."

"All members of the Bai family have been exiled. Whether they live or die depends on their fate. As for Bai Linnan, tell him the good news here, and then kill him..." Bai Chuxiao strode over and said.

Xia Fan hesitated, "Princess, if you really want to kill me..."

"Why do you think I shouldn't be killed?" Bai Chuxiao said with a smile.

"I dare not, but he is your father after all...what if..."

Bai Chuxiao waved her hands, "We have tolerated him long enough, kill him!"

She knew that Xia Fan was concerned about her reputation. The Princess of Yan even killed her own father. This would be against ethics if it got out. But Bai Linnan was not her father. She felt no guilt at all for killing him. As for what others said, let them say whatever they wanted.

"Xiao Xiao, just kill her if you want. I don't need to teach you how to tell Xia Fan the news to the outside world..." Chu Tianze said calmly.

"My subordinate understands!"

"As for the Yu family, the other two families didn't escape, and the Yu family's parasites are no exception. For Yu Fengyang's sake, except for Old Master Yu, the others will be treated the same as the Bai family. Let them be exiled, and their life or death will be left to fate..."

"Yes, I will do it right away!"

After closing the last book, Chu Tianze pulled Bai Chuxiao into his arms, "Xiaoxiao, what do you think about ascending the throne?"

"Why, Your Highness Prince Yan doesn't want to be the emperor?"

"I feel like Xiaoxiao seems a little uninterested..."

Bai Chuxiao spread her hands, "It's not like I'm the emperor..."

In fact, she felt that her life now was much better than when she was an emperor. It was so cool to be a local emperor now. No one dared to listen to them, and there were no so many rules like when she was an emperor or empress.

"Congratulations, His Royal Highness Prince Yan. From now on, you will have to get up before dawn to listen to people chanting sutras!" Bai Chuxiao added.

Chu Tianze shook his head helplessly, "It has come to this point. It is unrealistic not to be the emperor."

"So, it's not realistic to not have three palaces and six courtyards?"

Chu Tianze said unhappily, "What are you talking about? Do you think I am Chu Tianling..."

Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "It's not the best, otherwise..." After that, she pinched his waist hard.

"Madam, it hurts!" Chu Tianze frowned.

"If your husband doesn't do what he says, I will make sure you never feel pain!"
