The couple in the last days traveled to ancient times, farming and storing grain and meat in the war

Because of his contribution in suppressing the rebellion, Ji Wei was promoted to Duke of Protector of the Country and returned to the north to garrison.

Emperor Li is already seventy years old and his health is not good.

Emperor Li thought that he was so old and probably didn't have many years left to live, so he didn't want to cause any trouble for others. Instead, he wanted to depose the crown prince while he was still alive.

He appointed his favorite son, the son of the imperial concubine, as the crown prince to inherit his throne.

However, before Emperor Li deposed the crown prince, the queen found out about it and quickly told her son, the crown prince who had not yet been deposed.

The prince also knew that his maternal grandfather's family had been completely eliminated by Emperor Li, and he was alone and powerless, and could only be deposed.

But he was too unwilling to accept it. He was obviously a son, and the eldest son at that. He lost his mind and when he went to pay his respects to Emperor Li, he took out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed Emperor Li, intending to kill him.

Killing the king and killing his father, Emperor Li now has a legitimate excuse to depose the crown prince.

He actually deposed the prince and ordered him to be executed. He even gave the queen a white silk thread and asked her to hang herself.

Zhen changed the title and made the concubine's son the crown prince.

But Emperor Li was stabbed and seriously injured. In addition, he was old, and no matter how hard the imperial doctors treated him, his health deteriorated and he was on the verge of death.

This is really fatal. Emperor Li is overthinking it.

My mind is clearer than before.

Considering that the new prince's mother's family is so powerful and they manipulate the new prince like a puppet, and the imperial concubine is also a confused person who is devoted to her mother's family, then what difference will the Great Yan Kingdom make from now on?

Emperor Li personally drafted two imperial edicts, one to pass the throne to the new crown prince, and the other to appoint Xiao Yan, the "Prince of Yuzhou", as regent.

In today's Great Yan, only Xiao Yan can shock everyone.

Although he had always been worried that Xiao Yan would rebel, when he thought about it carefully over the years, although Xiao Yan's power was growing, the lives of the people were really getting better and better, especially the people in Yuzhou. Many people in the capital envied their good lives.

They are truly dedicated to the people.

In this case, as long as his son, the new emperor, does not make any mistakes, Xiao Yan will have no reason to rebel, and Ji Wei will not allow Xiao Yan to rebel.

The Ji family has an ancestral teaching that generations are loyal to Dayan.

In addition, many people follow Xiao Yan wholeheartedly, and even when Xiao Yan has no power, they still speak up for Xiao Yan. This shows that Xiao Yan is a person of good character.

Rather than letting his son rent out his house, which would kill him sooner or later and even cause chaos in Dayan, it would be better to let Xiao Yan take over the government. In this way, his son would likely have a good life and Dayan would still be able to maintain peace and stability.

Now, it is all because of Xiao Yan that the country is peaceful and other countries dare not bully us.

They are all afraid of ending up like Bei Tan.

However, in order to avoid any accidents, Emperor Li secretly handed the imperial edict appointing Xiao Yan as regent to the Grand Censor, instructing him to deliver it to Yuzhou and give it to Xiao Yan.

Then he called his son, the new crown prince, and handed over the imperial edict of succession and the fake imperial edict appointing Xiao Yan as regent to his son.

After handing it over, Emperor Li also died.

The new prince burst into tears.

The country cannot be without a ruler for a day, so the new prince naturally succeeded to the throne and became the new emperor of Dayan.

The new emperor was already sixteen years old and thought that since he was already so old, how could he have a regent to manage him and share his power?

In addition, he also told this matter to his mother, the former imperial concubine and now the empress dowager.

When the Queen Mother heard about this, she naturally disapproved and quickly told her mother's family about it.

The new emperor's maternal grandfather's family had long harbored rebellious intentions, and had been thinking of controlling the new emperor first, and then slowly plotting against Dayan, allowing someone from their own family to ascend the throne. Naturally, they were even more opposed.

In short, the new emperor did not announce the fact that the previous emperor had appointed Xiao Yan as regent.

The fake will was even burned by the new emperor and his men. The new emperor and his men had no idea that the will was fake and the real one was already in the hands of the Grand Censor.

When the Imperial Censor saw that the new emperor had not announced the matter at all and had allowed his mother's family to manipulate things, causing chaos inside and outside the court, he understood everything and understood why Emperor Li had left the real will with him.

As the deputy prime minister and a veteran of three dynasties, the Imperial Censor is naturally loyal. He will swear to complete the task assigned by the late emperor even at the cost of his life and hand the imperial edict to Xiao Yan.

But the Imperial Censor was really worried about handing it over to someone else to deliver it to Xiao Yan, so he wrote a letter to retire and return home.

On his way back home, he planned to go to Yuzhou.

But who knew that the new emperor's maternal family discovered something was wrong.

It was because a palace maid secretly reported that before the late emperor asked the new emperor to see him for the last time, he met with the chief censor and seemed to have given the chief censor something.

My maternal grandfather's family suspected that the Censor also had a will in his hand. No matter what the will was, he could not be allowed to return.

He found a random excuse and put the censor in jail.

Anyone who spoke up for the Censor was also arrested and imprisoned.

All officials were shocked.

His maternal grandfather's family also instigated the new emperor to kill the previous emperor's other sons. The new emperor was also afraid that his brothers would disobey him and usurp the throne, so he naturally killed them all.

Then my maternal grandfather's family found various excuses to kill members of the royal clan.

In the end, the entire royal family was killed, leaving only the new emperor.

The new emperor is stupid and thinks that his maternal grandfather's family is to consolidate his throne.

Naturally, there was turmoil both inside and outside the government.

Only Yuzhou and the north guarded by Ji Wei were not affected.

Ji Wei submitted countless memorials, but the new emperor threw them aside without even reading them.

But he could not return to the capital without an imperial edict, and Ji Wei could not return to the capital either. The imperial capital was in a state of chaos and resentment, and it was all controlled by the new emperor's maternal family.

My maternal grandfather's family was even made a king by the new emperor.

From then on, my maternal grandfather's family became even more rampant, killing ministers and common people at will. They would kill, kill, kill, kill anyone who did not go their way.

Even the prime minister was tortured to death.

With Dayan in such turmoil, naturally many people went to the capital under the pretext of purging the imperial court.

Some rebels also took advantage of the situation and rose up again.

Dayan eliminated Yuzhou and the north, and both places were in chaos.

The new emperor was naturally frightened when he saw that several armies had arrived to purge his court, and he really wanted to kill his grandfather to stop the chaos.

But he didn't know that the capital was now under the control of his maternal family. As soon as he had this idea, he was killed by his maternal family.

The Queen Mother was horrified, so my maternal grandfather's family simply killed her as well.

As soon as the new emperor died, Dayan became leaderless, not to mention that there was no royal family member left, so naturally it was in chaos.

Only the north, where Yuzhou and Ji Wei were in charge, was still stable.

Because high-yield rice had already been promoted throughout Dayan, no one starved to death, but many people suffered from the war and fled to Yuzhou and the north where Ji Wei was in charge.

They were all people from Dayan, so Ji Wei naturally let them go to the north to take refuge.

The same was true in Yuzhou, where all the city gates were open to welcome the people into the city.

Originally, Yuzhou had a king of a different surname, Xiao Yan, who was also the new god of war of Dayan. Moreover, there were more than 20 cannons mounted on the gate towers of Yuzhou. No matter how chaotic other places in Dayan were, no one dared to invade Yuzhou.
