Shocking! The killer traveled through time and space and became a female Shura, killing like crazy

Since Rong Che's death, the Emperor of Northern Yan's body has become increasingly weak. After a period of rest, he has recovered a little, but his face is still haggard, and there is a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

When the eunuch presented the letter from the Great Qi, the Emperor of Northern Yan took it with a slight tremor. When he opened it, his expression suddenly became even gloomier.

In the letter, the Emperor of Da Qi spoke arrogantly and demanded that Bei Yan compensate Da Qi with 60 million taels of silver and 10,000 war horses, otherwise he would march his troops to the city of Jizhou.

He immediately flew into a rage. "The Emperor of Great Qi is so presumptuous! He's actually demanding 60 million taels of silver and 10,000 war horses from our dynasty. Is he trying to empty our treasury? What's his intention? Does he really think that no one in our dynasty can rival King Mu of Great Qi?"

He also understood that at this time Da Qi wanted to weaken the national strength of Bei Yan, so he handed the letter to the ministers for review.

The court suddenly fell into silence, and the ministers all lowered their heads and remained silent.

The Emperor of Northern Yan looked at his ministers, his heart raging with rage. He suddenly lost his temper and roared, "You are usually so eloquent and eloquent, but are you speechless now?"

His voice echoed in the hall, deafening.

The ministers knelt down one after another and said in unison: "Your humble servants are terrified."

"If you can't help me solve my problems, what's the point of raising you?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I deserve death."

The angry Emperor of Northern Yan stretched out a trembling hand, pointed at the kneeling ministers, and roared: "Calm down, calm down! How can I calm down? You can't even solve such a small matter. You might as well retire and return home."

The ministers were so frightened that beads of sweat broke out on their foreheads, and they dared not say anything more for fear of being the first to be criticized.

At this time, the eldest prince said carefully: "Father, please calm down. I have an opportunity."

"Jin'er, tell me what you have planned."

"Father, Da Qi is using compensation to weaken Northern Yan. Our dynasty cannot afford to pay such a large sum of silver. Otherwise, the treasury will be depleted, paralyzing the entire Northern Yan economy. If another nation attacks our dynasty, we will be powerless to resist and become the prey of others."

"Our dynasty can send people to negotiate with Da Qi. We can use trade, ceding territory as compensation, or even marriage to ease the relationship between the two countries."

"If we can't reach an agreement, just send troops to attack us. Even if Great Qi has powerful weapons, our Northern Yan soldiers are all brave and skilled in fighting. If a real fight breaks out, we won't necessarily lose."

After hearing this, the Emperor of Northern Yan's face darkened to the point of ink dripping out. An old voice echoed, "We can consider the matter of an alliance. It just so happens that the Sixth Princess Rong Xin is of marriageable age."

"Ceding land as compensation is absolutely unacceptable. When the late emperor lost the war and gave Youzhou to Da Qi, he was still resentful of Youzhou before his death. I don't want to leave with the same regret as the late emperor."

"Although our territory is vast, every inch of it is forged with the blood and sweat of our people. How can we give it up so easily? Unless it is absolutely necessary, we must not think of taking our territory, otherwise we will be a sinner for our people."

The eldest prince quickly kowtowed and apologized, "I was reckless for a moment, please forgive me, father."

The Northern Yan Emperor waved his hand. "Forget it, let's put this matter aside for now. The most urgent task right now is to send an envoy to negotiate with Great Qi as soon as possible."

The court fell silent again, with everyone bowing their heads in silence. Seeing this, the Emperor of Northern Yan couldn't help but feel disappointed.

At this moment, a soldier came in to report: "Your Majesty, the Jizhou garrison commander has returned with news."

The eunuch quickly presented the letter to the Northern Yan Emperor. Upon reading its contents, the Emperor flew into a rage and roared, "Great Qi has gone too far, actually ordering King Mu of Great Qi to lead a massive army to attack our Jizhou city."

"He's forcing me to make a decision. That's outrageous."

At this moment, the Third Prince Rong Zhang stepped forward and said passionately, "Father, the Emperor of Great Qi is too arrogant. I am willing to lead the troops to repel King Mu of Great Qi."

"Your Majesty, the Great Qi is advancing with such force and powerful weapons that our army will find it difficult to resist. The Second Prince led an army of 200,000 last time, but returned with only 7 or 8 remnants. If we repeat the same mistake, our dynasty will be severely weakened, and if another foreign invasion occurs, our dynasty will be unable to resist."

"For the past two years, our country has been plagued by snowstorms. The people are suffering and their livelihoods are in dire straits. We must not go to war again. The national treasury is stretched to its limits and cannot support war and disaster relief. Your Majesty, please reconsider."

After hearing the old minister's words, the Emperor of Northern Yan suddenly felt dizzy and his eyes went dark. He covered his chest, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fainted on the dragon throne on the spot.

The princes and ministers were in a mess and ran to call out to His Majesty, but there was no response and they were quickly sent back to the bedroom.

The imperial physician rushed over, and after a busy period, the condition of the Emperor of Northern Yan was temporarily under control, but he was still in a coma. His Majesty was ill and unable to handle state affairs.

There was a tense atmosphere in the palace and the ministers were worried.

Under this circumstance, court affairs will be temporarily decided by the prime minister, the eldest prince, and other ministers.

However, the various princes harbored their own agenda and began to secretly compete for imperial power. For a time, the palace was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

The eldest prince Rong Jin believes that he is the eldest son and shall inherit the throne; the fourth prince Rong Xun tries to seize the throne by relying on the power of his mother's family; and the third prince Rong Zhang is proud of his military achievements and refuses to be outdone.

They each won over court officials and formed different camps.

At the same time, the concubines in the harem were also involved in the struggle. They all made suggestions for their sons and even used insidious means to help their children ascend the throne.

The entire Northern Yan court and harem were caught in a fierce power struggle.

Beiyan is now facing internal and external troubles, and your majesty's illness is undoubtedly making the situation worse.

Two days later, the Emperor of Northern Yan woke up weakly. Looking at the kneeling ministers and princes, his heart was filled with emotion.

He knew that he didn't have much time left and had to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise the entire Northern Yan would be in chaos.

He said weakly, "My time is coming to an end. Today, I will pass the throne to the eldest prince, Rong Jin. All ministers and princes must assist the new emperor in ascending the throne and must not disobey my last words."

Although the voice of the Emperor of Northern Yan was weak, it was full of majesty.

"Jin'er, the Emperor is decisive and efficient in his actions. He cannot accomplish great things without a ruthless heart. You must defend the territory of Northern Yan and do not let me down."

Upon hearing this, the eldest prince burst into tears. He was fully aware of the heavy responsibility he shouldered. "I will do my utmost to protect the country of Northern Yan."

The ministers also expressed that they would do their best to assist the eldest prince in ascending the throne and jointly protect the territory of Northern Yan.

The Emperor of Northern Yan nodded with satisfaction. Under the gaze of everyone, he slowly closed his eyes, ending his glorious life.

"Father..."

"His Majesty……"

The cries echoed throughout the Northern Yan Palace.

The third prince and the fourth prince did not agree that the eldest prince had the ability to manage the entire Northern Yan, and they each had their own thoughts.

The Third Prince thought to himself, "Although my eldest brother is older than me, I am confident that he is no less intelligent and capable than me. He may not be the sole ruler of Northern Yan."

He decided to secretly win over ministers, build up his own power, wait for the right time, and seize the throne in one fell swoop.

The fourth prince believed that the eldest prince was too weak, lacked decisiveness and resolution, and was unable to deal with the various crises facing Northern Yan.

He also formed his own power in the court and planned for the future.

The eldest prince had no idea what his two younger brothers were thinking. He was immersed in the joy of becoming the lord of Northern Yan and began to prepare for his ascension to the throne.

However, people were worried as long as the compensation issue of Da Qi was not resolved, so they sent historians to Da Qi to negotiate, hoping to get a good solution.

However, he didn't know that a fierce battle for the throne was about to begin in Beiyan...
