The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

Chang'an City.

Cining Palace.

Concubine Liu Rushuang has moved from Changchun Palace to Cining Palace, and now the new emperor has appointed her as the empress dowager.

Now no one in the court came out to stop it.

After all, the Prince of Jin rebelled, and the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince were missing, so the court officials suspected that the two had been executed by the Prince of Jin.

When the King of Jin came to power, he dismissed many old ministers.

Even the current Grand Tutor Xie had his legs crippled by the new emperor and was thrown into prison.

Although Tutor Xie was the Crown Prince's teacher, he had taught all these princes.

The new emperor was so harsh on his former teacher that court officials did not dare to oppose him.

Although many civil officials secretly despised what the King of Jin did, they did not dare to resist because he had troops, although they all suspected that the edict was fake.

They all set their sights on the hands of King Qi, not understanding why he did not take any action and just let King Jin take the throne.

The current situation in the capital is relatively stable. The only controversial issue at the moment is which princess to choose to marry into the Kingdom of Liang.

The third princess, Shang Wenzhu, ran in angrily, "Mother, I don't want to go to the marriage!"

Queen Mother Liu looked at Shang Wenzhu, not understanding what was going on. "Who said you were asked to marry?"

Shang Wenzhu said angrily: "Who else could it be? Of course it's my brother the emperor. I heard that he wants me to go. I don't want to leave Chang'an. The Hu people are cannibals. I don't want to go."

Empress Dowager Liu hugged her daughter and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you go. Your second sister is here!"

Shang Wenzhu nodded, "Yes, my second sister is older than me, so she is more suitable!"

Shang Wenzhu had just finished speaking when she was interrupted by a voice, "No!"

When Empress Dowager Liu and Shang Wenzhu turned around, they saw a bright yellow figure.

Shang Wenzhu pouted, "Second brother, why not? Are you my biological brother or her biological brother?"

The new emperor was displeased to find that his sister was still disrespectful to him as before.

He is now the emperor, but his sister, relying on the favor of their mother, still does not take him seriously.

The emperor also frowned.

Empress Dowager Liu did not notice the emperor's strange behavior, and she also questioned: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the second princess is a very suitable candidate for marriage!"

The emperor said indifferently: "Mother, the Second Princess is the biological sister of the King of Qi. Letting the Second Princess marry at this time, isn't this trying to make the King of Qi rebel?"

The emperor was actually a little puzzled as to why the King of Qi did not fight with him.

Originally, he thought that he would have to compete with the King of Qi before he could ascend the throne.

Unexpectedly, the King of Qi did not show any movement and just agreed to let him ascend the throne.

But the Emperor didn’t dare to offend the King of Qi now, let alone take the King of Qi’s sister as a marriage partner.

When the third princess heard what the emperor said, she immediately shouted, "Second brother, you are really afraid of third brother. How can I not marry you just because I am your biological sister?

But I am also your sister, you can sacrifice me!

I think you are a useless emperor!"

The emperor didn't expect his sister to be so disrespectful. He simply raised his hand and slapped the third princess with a "pa" sound.

Loud applause was heard in the hall.

The Third Princess and Empress Dowager Liu looked at the Emperor in disbelief.

The third princess covered her face and said, "Second brother, you hit me!"

The emperor glanced at the third princess calmly, "Wenzhu, this slap is to make you remember your identity and who you are talking to now!"

Tears welled up in the third princess' eyes. She covered her face and ran out of the Cining Palace.

At this time, Empress Dowager Liu looked at the Emperor with a complicated look.

The throne is really a good thing!

The speed of changing people is so fast.

When the emperor faced Empress Dowager Liu, his attitude became better. He explained, "Mother, I have just ascended the throne and the government is not stable yet. It is really not appropriate to confront the King of Qi at this time."

Empress Dowager Liu sighed, "We can't send Wenzhu to Liang Kingdom! You know how cruel the Hu people are. If we send the princess there, she won't have a good ending!"

The emperor said helplessly: "Mother, only the second and third sisters in the palace are of the right age. The fourth sister is only ten years old, she is too young!"

Empress Dowager Liu's eyes moved slightly, "Your uncle's princess Qingci is just 16 years old this year, which is just the right age."

The emperor pondered for a moment, "Mother, although my uncle has no real power, he is a relative, I am afraid..."

Empress Dowager Liu only wanted to protect the third princess at this time. "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the princess is just right. Why don't you give Qingci the title of princess and let her marry him?"

The emperor thought carefully about King Cheng's situation in the capital over the years.

This uncle Wang was severely suppressed by my father in the past, so it seems that he is not to be feared at all.

"Okay, I will issue an imperial decree right now to grant Qingci the title of Princess Changle."

Only then did Empress Dowager Liu smile.

Changxin City, Prince Qi’s Palace.

"Your Majesty, this is evidence that the King of Jin is colluding with the Turkic and Xianbei countries!"

The secret guards delivered the evidence they had found to the King of Qi.

Although Prince Jin has ascended the throne, the servants in Prince Qi's mansion still dare not call him the emperor.

The King of Qi opened it and read it carefully. When he had finished reading it all, he immediately burst into laughter. "Hahaha, Second Brother, Second Brother, you are finally going to fall into my hands, haha!"

After the King of Jin ascended the throne, the King of Qi left Chang'an City and returned to his fiefdom.

It was not that he wanted to launch a coup in the capital at the beginning, but compared with the Prince of Qi and the Prince of Jin, the only thing he lacked was a mother who held power in the harem.

It was difficult for the Prince of Qi to obtain information about the harem, and he couldn't figure out when the emperor would die.

In addition, the Liu family also had troops, and the Prince of Jin took out the imperial edict, so the Prince of Qi did not take any action.

Moreover, at that time, he had already found out that the King of Jin was colluding with the Xianbei, but he had not yet obtained the evidence.

That's why it didn't start.

Now as long as he has the evidence, he can make the news known to the world, so that he has a pretext to send troops to Chang'an City.

The secret guard told the news he had found out again, "Your Highness, the Prince of Jin wants to marry a princess to the Kingdom of Liang. There are rumors that it is our second princess!"

The King of Qi snorted coldly, "Shang Yunzhuo doesn't dare! It's hard to say which girl is unlucky! Okay, you go down first!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After the secret guards left, the staff member Li Wei spoke up, "Your Majesty, when do we start?"

The King of Qi said calmly, "Don't worry. Wait and see whose daughter he chooses. Let the conflict between the Second Prince and the courtiers become more tense! Our chances of winning will be greater."

Li Wei nodded, "The emperor demoted the title of Zhenbei Marquis and asked his family to come to Beijing. I'm afraid there will be changes in the north!"

The King of Qi sneered, "Shang Yunzhuo only cares about his head and not his butt. He thinks that the Marquis of Zhenbei is really a paper tiger. This time he may hit a wall!"
