Divorce at the beginning, the rough general is very clingy

Just as Xuanyuan Jing was hesitating, Xuanyuan Marquis, Lu Han and two other generals gave a few instructions and flew up. Some of them continued to control Queen Wang and Prime Minister Wang, some attacked the soldiers who were escorting the Yongxin Marquis' Mansion, and a few others protected the Yongxin Marquis' Mansion.

And Xuanyuan Hou, his sword went straight to Xuanyuan Jing.

Today is the time to settle the accounts.

Xuanyuan Jing’s fighting power is average, but Xuanyuan Hou’s arm is injured, so it is really difficult to tell the winner for a while.

When the Mi Yaozhan brothers arrived, they saw such a tense scene.

With the joining of the Zhan brothers and the army, Xuanyuan Jing's 80,000 men were quickly controlled. They were all Dongqi's soldiers, and as long as they surrendered, their lives would not be harmed.

Xuanyuan Jing was also stabbed by Xuanyuan Hou in a moment of distraction, and then the tendons of Xuanyuan Jing's hands and feet were cut, leaving him alive to be dealt with later.

From then on, Xuanyuan Jing forced his way out of the palace, and the throne he had sat on for more than a month before it became cold before he could even get warm.

Marquis Xuanyuan immediately became the popular candidate for the King of Chu. Marquis Xuanyuan waved his hand and decided not to mention the issue of the crown prince for the time being.

Mi Yao returned to Prince Gong's mansion, and the palace affairs were naturally handled by Xuanyuan Hou and those old ministers. I thought I would never come back after returning to Liujia Village, but after a few months of wandering, I returned to the capital.

Many of Prince Gong's properties have been transferred, and some things in the mansion have been secretly transported to Jingzhou.

"Dad, we are back!" As soon as they arrived at Prince Gong's Mansion, Prince Gong and his two daughters-in-law and several grandchildren were waiting at the gate.

"Oh, it's good to be back." Prince Gong picked up his two little grandsons and loved them very much.

"Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work!"

"Thanks to you this time!"

The eldest and second sisters-in-law also came over and held Mi Yao's hand. They had heard about the battle in Nansuo City a long time ago, in which Zhan Jian and Zhan Xiao were both plotted against and seriously injured. Thanks to the third brother's wife, the two brothers were able to turn danger into safety.

"My two sisters-in-law are too polite. We are one family. It would be awkward to talk to each other in different ways." Mi Yao smiled back.

In the palace, the old emperor was imprisoned in a side courtyard by the second prince, and was guarded by Xuanyuan Jing's confidants. The imperial guards arrived and dealt with those guards in no time. The old emperor Xuanyuan Che had not eaten for three days. The torture of the past two months had turned the supreme ruler into a prisoner, and he had become a unrecognizable person.

Marquis Xuanyuan quickly asked the imperial doctors to diagnose the emperor. After several doctors diagnosed the emperor, they all said that the emperor was in good health, just suffering from malnutrition, and that he would be fine after some rest.

So someone helped Xuanyuan Che bathe and eat.

After a hearty meal, Xuanyuan Che finally regained his energy and interrogated the Second Prince, the Queen and Prime Minister Wang.

In the end, Xuanyuan Che still took his son into consideration and only ordered the Second Prince to be demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in his mansion for life. Queen Wang plotted to murder the current emperor and was given poisoned wine. Prime Minister Wang plotted a rebellion, so his property was confiscated and his entire family was exiled to the extremely cold north.

The campaign between the second prince and his outsiders to force the emperor to abdicate has come to an end.

The next day, Xuanyuan Che sat firmly in the Golden Palace, looking at all the civil and military officials in the court. His sharp eyes swept over everyone. Several ministers who had had interactions with the second prince Xuanyuan Jing felt their legs tremble, and felt that even a single breath of the emperor made them terrified.

"We have won the battle of the Western Rong and the Northern Saints this time. I will reward them according to their merits. In addition, Xuanyuan Jing forced a palace to rebel and imprisoned me in an attempt to disrupt the government. Thanks to the fifth prince Xuanyuan Hou for rescuing me in time. I will also reward the relevant rescue personnel according to their merits." Xuanyuan Che looked at the ministers, and his voice did not reveal his emotion.

The people below didn't dare to make a sound and listened attentively.

Xuanyuan Che glanced at Eunuch Hai, who took out the imperial edict and began to read it...

The fifth prince, Xuanyuan Hou, was named the crown prince, which was the result of popular expectation.

Several princes were conferred the title of king, and those who came of age were granted palaces, and their mothers followed their sons out of the palace.

Several general officers were promoted.

In addition to verbal praise, the three brothers of the Zhan family also rewarded them with gold, silver, shops, and farms.

Zhan Xiao lowered his head, feeling a little unhappy. Prince Gong's Mansion was now secretly selling off its properties, but the Emperor was still giving them money. The Zhan family had made such great contributions, but he was just giving them some farms and shops.

No matter how unhappy you are, you have to endure it.

After all the titles were given and the court was dismissed, Xuanyuan Che left only Xuanyuan Hou behind.

"Hou'er, do you know why father only left you behind?" Xuanyuan Che looked at Xuanyuan Hou.

"Does your Majesty have anything to tell me?" asked Marquis Xuanyuan.

"In this reward system, do you think your father has not given enough rewards to the three generals of the Zhan family in Prince Gong's mansion?" Xuanyuan Che asked.

When Xuanyuan Hou heard this, alarm bells went off in her heart. She knew that whatever she said next would be wrong.

"This is the first time for your son to lead troops, and I am still unfamiliar with the combat between the two armies. This victory is thanks to the command of several experienced generals and the bravery of the soldiers. The credit goes to everyone." Xuanyuan Hou said.

"Hmm?" Xuanyuan Che was unhappy and hummed, obviously unhappy with what Xuanyuan Hou said.

"You will be the crown prince from now on. I allow you to have your own people, but remember one thing, don't follow the old path of the second prince." Xuanyuan Che said and waved his hand.

What this means is very clear. The emperor does not want Marquis Xuanyuan to use his grandfather's family. Xuanyuan Jing will be manipulated or constrained by Queen Wang and Prime Minister Wang because he uses Prime Minister Wang's family. As for the Zhan family of Prince Gong's Mansion, the emperor also wants him not to use them.

It sounds good to say that you can train your own people, but starting from scratch, how many years will it take?

"Your son, take your leave." Marquis Xuanyuan was unwilling to give in, so he also took his leave.

At this moment, he felt a little regretful. He should not have saved him and took that position directly. With the protection of several generals from Prince Gong's Mansion and his maternal family, as well as his prestige and people's support from the war among several countries, he believed that he would soon take control of the court.

"Your Majesty, Prince Gong and his three sons request to see you." Eunuch Hai came in to report.

"Xuan!" Xuanyuan Che's cold voice came.

Marquis Xuanyuan was stunned, but did not stay. He left the imperial study and walked face to face with the people from Prince Gong's mansion.

"I have met your Majesty."

"May the Emperor be well!"

The four masters of the Zhan family knelt down to pay their respects.

"Get up. Several young generals have just come back and must be tired. Why don't you have a good rest in the mansion?" Xuanyuan Che had a caring smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I have brought a few children here to submit my resignation to you." Prince Gong did not stand up.

"Oh?" There was doubt in Xuanyuan Che's eyes, but the word "oh" sounded a little happy.

"Your Majesty, now Xirong and Beisheng have become our Dongqi's territories, and Nanmao has also signed a friendly treaty with us for a hundred years of non-war. Within a hundred years, there will be no war in Dongqi. We should also learn from those literati and scholars, demobilize, return to the countryside, appreciate the beautiful mountains and rivers of our Dongqi, and then return to our fiefdom to plant crops, grow flowers, and spend our old age in peace." Prince Gong spoke sincerely.

Xuanyuan Che didn't say anything and looked at the men from the Zhan family.
