The eldest son is fierce

Shilipo, in the mountains on the right.

Li Shanhe has also arrived with the wealthy families of Kyoto.

They are still dependent on the eldest princess, so naturally they are on the same mountain as the eldest princess. It’s just that their status is too low, so they don’t even have the chance to stand next to the eldest princess.

The eldest princess was at the top of the mountain, surrounded by nobles and officials from Kyoto. Although they were from wealthy families, most of them were from merchant families and were only qualified to stand halfway up the mountain.

Because of this, almost everyone's face turned pale when they saw the majestic Northern Di cavalry in the distance.

Given their current position, if the Northern Di suddenly went crazy and attacked them, they probably wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

"Master Li, do you still hold on to your opinion?"

Zhao Youde, the head of the Zhao family, swallowed hard, his voice trembling. "Do you think Tang Yi's new army can withstand this kind of attack from the Northern Di cavalry? I'm afraid that if they charge, Tang Yi will be killed without a burial place!"

The others also stared at Li Shanhe with anger in their eyes. They didn't want to come in the first place, but Li Shanhe asked them to come. Now they were arranged to be at the front. If something unexpected happened, they would die without a burial place.

"Why? Do you all have something against me?"

However, Li Shanhe didn't care at all. He just glanced in the direction of Emperor Yanwen and said, "It's normal that you don't have confidence in Tang Yi. After all, you all wish Tang Yi would die."

"But you have forgotten His Majesty. If His Majesty had no confidence in Tang Yi, would he have risked his life?"

"So we're just getting started. Just be patient and wait!"

Zhao Youde and everyone looked at each other, their faces becoming increasingly grim. They had never expected that Li Shanhe would change so much after he was captured and watched Tang Yi behead Yuwen Feng and Fan Mingzhong.

In the past, he led everyone to be loyal to the eldest princess, but now he is the first one to choose to betray!

Although it has not been shown openly, his attitude and behavior have proved that his heart is no longer with the eldest princess.

"Master Li is really patient. Even at this moment, you still insist on your own ideas?"

Zhao Youde gnashed his teeth and pointed to the top of the mountain behind him, saying, "I just don't know what will happen if the princess knows what the Li family is thinking!"

"Huh? Threaten me?"

Li Shanhe turned his head and stared at Zhao Youde calmly: "You can try. However, I advise you to watch this decisive battle to the end, so as not to cut off your own retreat."

"You..." Zhao Youde's face turned pale from choking.

He really wanted to go to the eldest princess to inform her of the secret. Almost all the big families that were dependent on the eldest princess were headed by Li Shanhe, so Li Shanhe was highly regarded by the eldest princess.

If he exposed Li Shanhe's rebellious intentions, there was a great possibility that he would take over Li Shanhe's position, but he didn't dare.

Li Shanhe was too calm, so calm that it made him very uneasy, fearing that Li Shanhe had a backup plan.

"Okay, then let's wait and see!"

Zhao Youde flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, "Then open your eyes and watch carefully how Tang Yi dies without a burial place!"

Li Shanhe smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll definitely take a good look at it."

After he finished speaking, he turned and looked towards the top of the mountain. From afar, he saw the eldest princess sitting in a makeshift pavilion, holding a book in her hands, looking extremely calm and composed.

Besides Zhuge Yunjue, there were several other men standing beside her.

Although he was not familiar with those people, he knew them. They were all military generals guarding Kyoto.

Sure enough, this woman is becoming more and more brazen. She really wants to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble!

If Tang Yi fails to achieve a crushing victory in this battle, and both sides suffer losses or win a miserable victory, Kyoto will fall into chaos in an instant.

How could this woman miss this opportunity to seize Kyoto?

The eldest princess in the pavilion naturally noticed Li Shanhe and nodded slightly at him from a distance. Then she looked at Zhuge Yunjue and asked, "How is it? Are you ready?"

Zhuge Yunjue bowed and said, "The Right Xiaowei, Right Wuwei, Jingyuwei, and other ten guards are ready. The City Patrol is also ready. We can open the gates and let the troops enter the city at any time."

"Now, it all depends on how the final battle between Tang Yi of Shilipo and the Prince of Beidi goes."

"How about a decisive battle?" The eldest princess raised her eyes and looked at Zhuge Yunjue.

Zhuge Yunjue was startled and asked, "Isn't Your Highness waiting for Tang Yi and the Northern Di envoys to be both defeated? Is he taking advantage of this opportunity to seize Kyoto?"

The princess flipped through The Return of the Condor Heroes and said, "King Jinlun used Guo Xiang to threaten Guo Jing into surrender. This is a most foolish strategy. If it were me, I would use Guo Xiang's head to boost the morale of the army."

"It's just Xiangyang City. What if we destroy it at all costs?"

The princess looked at Emperor Yanwen in the distance and said, "I have 100,000 soldiers and horses. Surround, divide, and then slaughter!"

"Leave no one alive. Isn't it me who has the final say on right and wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Yunjue froze on the spot, a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!

Only at this moment did he understand that this woman's goal from the beginning was not to make Tang Yi and Yu Wentao both lose and then reap the benefits.

She deliberately instigated this decisive battle in order to lure all the civil and military officials in the court, Emperor Yanwen, and the wealthy families in Kyoto to Shilipo, and then capture them all in one fell swoop!

This is absolutely crazy!

But I have to say that although this plan is cruel, it is a permanent solution!

……

On the main peak, Emperor Yanwen and Fan Yong sat opposite each other.

Emperor Yanwen personally poured a cup of tea for Fanyong and said, "My dear minister, now it's just the two of us. Stop pretending to be a wise ruler and loyal ministers. I'm almost vomiting."

"I want to ask you now, you wanted to see me jump, and I jumped, are you satisfied with the result?"

The smile on Fan Yong's face suddenly froze.

Then, the smile on the corner of his mouth turned cold and cruel at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He looked up at Emperor Yanwen and said, "Your Majesty is very lucky. I have calculated everything, but I didn't expect Tang Yi to suddenly appear."

"I never thought that Tang Yi could turn the entire Kyoto upside down."

"I never thought that His Majesty would be so bold as to kill my son, mobilize so many ministers of the Fan Party, and confiscate so many powerful families in Kyoto."

"To be honest, I really don't know where Your Majesty gets the confidence to do this. Isn't Your Majesty afraid of chaos in the world?"

Emperor Yanwen smiled broadly and said, "I used to be afraid, but now I'm not afraid at all. I have Tang Yi now. In fact... I really hope that the world will be in chaos."

"That way, I can openly and honestly raid homes everywhere and take all the wealth in the world to support myself... Well, I won't tell you!"

Provide support for the craftsman supervisor!

That's a money-eating beast!

When Fan Yong heard this, he was stunned.

What did the emperor say? Wasn't he afraid of chaos under heaven?

The emperor isn't afraid of chaos in the world? What a joke!

The world is in chaos, how can he maintain his rule?!
