Princess Promotion

In the early morning, when the sky was gray.

A group of masked men in black approached silently, and just after they dealt with the two guards, they woke up the guards on the city wall.

Yao Chuguang knew that this was the person who could no longer hold back and was about to take action.

Yao Chuguang shouted to the city gate: "If you don't take action, I will cut all the ropes."

The guards who were sent to keep an eye on the city could only grit their teeth and attack the assassin.

As daybreak approached, the people were attracted by the sounds of fighting.

The leading assassin gave a look, and several arrows flew directly towards the hostages from a distance. Now the guards from each family had no time to fight with the assassin.

They all ran up to the city wall to save their young master.

Yao Chuguang knew that the situation was hopeless, but he still did not cut the rope and let the guards rescue people.

The assassins had just retreated when the Royal Guards appeared by chance and took control of the situation.

When Yu Zhijian arrived, Yao Chuguang had already been arrested and imprisoned, and the city gate was opened right in front of Yu Zhijian.

Behind him, a messenger came with an urgent letter that had traveled eight hundred miles. He rode his horse through the crowded crowd entering the city and ran towards the outside of the city wall.

In the end, it all failed!

At the morning court session, Yu Zhijian stood in the corner in a daze. At this moment, he didn't even know why he was standing there, nor did he know what else he could do?

Watching people in the court accusing Yao Chuguang of brutality and heinous crimes, the list of crimes was simply too numerous to list.

Finally, Duke Li returned to the imperial capital for trial, the queen was banished to the cold palace for failing to educate her son, and Yao Chuguang was stripped of his royal status and executed at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Once the imperial edict was issued, no civil official except a few military generals came to plead for Yao Chuguang.

Eunuch Wei took the imperial edict with trembling hands and was about to pass it down.

A young eunuch rushed in in a panic, shouting, "Your Majesty, this is bad! The princess is leading the rebels to attack us!"

The Qi Emperor was shocked and furious, "Where did she get the troops? Where did they fight to?"

Before he could finish his words, another young eunuch stumbled in and shouted, "Oh no! The Empress and the palace servants have opened the palace gates and let the rebels in."

All the officials were in an uproar. Before Emperor Qi could leave the hall, Yao Chuguang had already reached the door.

The door of the hall was knocked open. Yao Chuguang was still wearing the red dress she wore yesterday. Although it was covered with dust and mud, she did not look disheveled.

Yao Chuguang walked forward step by step with his sword in hand, and a yellow leaf fell quietly behind him.

As if sensing something, she turned around and saw this familiar scene. She finally... finally caught up.

Yao Chuguang has always been aware of the irreconcilable contradiction between Emperor Qi and the Duke's Mansion.

But she retreated and was afraid.

So over the years, Yao Chuguang has always taken the approach of taking things one step at a time.

He even thought about asking the Duke's Mansion to voluntarily hand over the military power. It is easy to hand over the military power, but how to hand over the prestige in the army!

All the military officers following the Duke's Mansion should be replaced. This will disrupt the military morale and prevent those who want military power from doing such self-destructive things.

The crisis can be overcome, but failure will mean total annihilation.

Just like Yicheng, now, there is only a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days.

Yao Chuguang sighed. She couldn't bear to watch her uncle, who had fought for the country and the people all his life, die in the sinister conspiracy of the court.

So there was only one way left. Yao Chuguang said to General Park calmly, "Rebel and sit on the supreme throne."

General Park held the teacup in his hand in the air for a moment, then seemed to realize he had just picked it up and took a sip. He said, "Why is the princess looking for me?"

General Park doesn't think he has much wisdom, but he does understand a little about the current situation.

After the Yicheng incident, General Park realized that although the Duke's Mansion and the court appeared harmonious on the surface, they were secretly at a life-and-death struggle.

Now that things have come to this, General Park is not surprised that it was the eldest princess who first thought of rebelling.

Outsiders only knew that in the Battle of Yicheng, it was he who led the soldiers to fight to the last moment, but they did not know that all this would have been possible without the eldest princess's planning, who used herself as bait to divert part of the fighting force.

He couldn't hold on until the last moment. With such wisdom and the military strength of the Duke's Mansion, the eldest princess could say that her victory was almost certain, if not 100%.

He thought that the princess was looking for an alliance with him, and if the Duke sent troops north, he would be the only one stationed at the border.

Otherwise, being taken advantage of by other countries is no joke.

Unexpectedly, the princess wanted her to lead the troops north to rebel, while the Duke continued to guard the border.

Although thinking this way would offend the eldest princess, General Park couldn't help but say, "Are you crazy?"

What's the difference between this and not using a peerless divine weapon and instead using two fire sticks to fight?

The Duke has an army of 300,000, while he doesn't even have a fraction of that. Even the 100,000 guards in the royal city are more than his.

The Duke's family was wealthy, and with the rewards for his military achievements, he could be self-sufficient. However, if the food and fodder from the imperial court arrived two days late, he would go hungry.

There is a huge difference between them, so the court has always been suspicious of the Duke and has never thought about whether he is also a threat.

Yao Chuguang: "It should be said that only if it is General Park, regardless of whether it succeeds or not, can the number of innocent people implicated be minimized."

Sure enough, it was the eldest princess General Park he knew, he sighed in his heart!

He would rather put himself in danger than implicate the people.

The Duke's Mansion is too large, and any disturbance will affect the entire body, not to mention that the Emperor of Qi has been on guard against it all these years.

Once there is any movement in the Duke's Mansion, troops will be dispatched immediately to cause great suffering to all.
