Zhou Ting leaned over and lowered his voice, "Your Highness, what she said is not unreasonable. As far as I know, the Yi barbarians sent troops this time were actually Feng Yuanpo's meaning. The Yi barbarians are good at fighting and killing, and are capricious. They are only afraid of being beaten by Feng Yuanpo, so they succumbed to Feng Yuanpo... Those Yi barbarian chiefs are now in Wuping Prefecture. Feng Yuanpo put them under house arrest in order to prevent the Yi barbarians from being controlled. If Feng Yuanpo really escapes, the Yi barbarians may still collude with him."

The prince nodded slightly and asked softly: "Can this woman make the Yi barbarians change their minds?"

"I don't know whether she can convince the Yi Barbarians." Zhou Ting whispered: "But my subordinates think that if I keep her for the time being, I'm afraid there will be a great use in the future. If General Xuanyuan takes Feng Yuanpo, then the Yi Barbarians will no longer have Feng Yuanpo's shock, and they are afraid that they will cause trouble. With her here, we can use her to negotiate with the Yi Barbarians. As long as the strategy is right, we can take the Yi Barbarians for their own use." After a pause, he even whispered: "The emperor dies, and the country cannot be without a king for a day. Your Highness should inherit the throne as soon as possible. Now is the extraordinary time. If the Snowflake Queen is executed seriously, if the person who is not clear-minded and true, he will spread rumors and cause trouble behind his back, saying that Your Highness is killing his concubine's mother, which will always have a great impact on Your Highness's reputation."

The prince said, "What Zhou Nayan said is very true." He looked up at the Snowflake Empress and said lightly: "Whether to accompany the father, let's talk about it again. If you really can convince the barbarians to be loyal to the Qin Dynasty, you can atone for your sins..." He said in a deep voice: "Come, take Snowflake Empress to the West Palace to rest and send someone to protect him. Without the orders of this palace, no one can approach, and the Empress cannot leave the West Palace!"

Seeing that the prince was relieved, the Snowflake Queen was relieved and her face was pale. A soldier had already come up and led the Snowflake Queen back down.

After the Snowflake Empress retreated, the prince then said: "Many officials in Hexi are now in the Heavenly Palace, and send people to watch them first to avoid chaos... Governor Yuan!"

Yuan Chongshang immediately stepped forward and bowed, "The emperor is here!"

"Governor Yuan, you are a leader. I will ask you to go to the guards station near the Tiangong Palace and cooperate with Chen Guo to immediately march into Wuping Mansion and control Wuping Mansion in the shortest time. Feng Yuanpo and Hexi officials have both arrived at the Tiangong Palace. Wuping Mansion City must be very empty now. You must fight quickly." The prince looked cold and said with a straightforward look: "After taking down Wuping Mansion, he will immediately lead people to the Hexi Imperial Guard. The family of Feng Polu, the commander of the Imperial Guard, was controlled by the God-in-law. You can take advantage of this to find Feng Polu and tell him that as long as he is loyal to the court, I will not blame everything before...!" His eyes cold and he stared at Yuan Chongshang, "This matter is quite dangerous, but Governor Yuan has experienced many battles and is also his father's favorite general back then. Now he can only let Governor Yuan stand up and seize the military power of the Hexi Imperial Guard."

Yuan Chongshang bowed and said solemnly: "Go through fire and water, and he will never refuse. If he does not seize the military power, the official will come to see him!" After a pause, he said: "Your Highness, the Hexi Imperial Guard is Feng Yuanpo's Imperial Guard. The official went there without hesitation, but...!"

"I'm guiding you." The prince said solemnly: "Are you talking about the Golden Sword and Tiger Talisman?"

"That's right." Yuan Chongshang bowed and said, "The golden sword represents the emperor. The tiger talisman can be used to adjust troops. As long as there is the golden sword and tiger talisman, whoever dares to infringe on the right side of the emperor can kill him on the spot!"

The prince turned to Zhou Ting, and Zhou Ting frowned and said, "The priest has four golden swords, two exempted two kills. The golden sword can be used to punish death. Killing the golden sword can kill hundreds of officials. When Chu Huan went to the northwest, the priest gave him a golden sword to avoid death. The remaining three were not known whether the priest brought it from the capital... As for the tiger talisman, the priest must have been brought by his side..."

"It's okay with the golden sword, where are the tiger talismans and jade seals now?" the prince frowned.

"Feng Yuanpo often came to the palace for many times before, looking for the saint to cover the jade seal and issue an order..." Zhou Ting frowned and said, "It's just that Feng Yuanpo found a puppet to pretend to be the saint, but he didn't know if the jade seal was also fake..."

At this moment, I heard footsteps. Everyone looked in the sound and saw three people coming from the east, all of which were palace maids. A middle-aged palace maid came over with two young palace maids. The two palace maids behind him were carrying jade plates. Before they got close, they all fell to the ground. Everyone was curious. The middle-aged palace maid had already said: "Report to the Crown Prince, the Empress, sent a few things to him and let us present them to your highness!"

The prince pulled the wheelchair mechanism, turned the wheelchair and rolled over. He stopped a few steps away, frowned and asked, "What's it?"

The palace maid stood up, but the prince saw that the two palace maids were holding jade plates in their hands. The jade plates were covered with yellow brocade, but for a moment they couldn't see what was placed under them.

The middle-aged palace maid whispered: "Support the things to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Two palace maids knelt on the ground and moved forward, holding their hands high and presented them to the prince. The prince frowned and raised his hand to lift a brocade. When he saw the things in the jade plate, he looked stunned. Everyone around him looked surprised when they saw it. There were two swords side by side in the jade plate, with golden colors, which was the golden sword token representing the emperor's authority.

The golden sword is not used as a weapon, but a token, but only two fingers long and exquisitely crafted. There are handwritings engraved in the sword body. One is the golden sword that avoids death, and the other is the golden sword that kills the golden sword.

The prince immediately turned on another piece of brocade, and suddenly there was the emperor's jade seal and half a tiger talisman on it.

The emperor is the emperor of the empire. The emperor established a country with military force and was naturally cautious in controlling the army. The imperial guards, border troops, guards, state troops and various imperial guards were in a system. The procedures were quite complicated. It was a governor. In addition to the imperial guards under his command, if they wanted to mobilize the state troops or guards, once the troops exceeded 500, the imperial guards would need the will of the court. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to rebellion. Without the approval of the Ministry of War, no one dared to easily transfer troops. Even if the troops were transferred, without the approval of the Ministry of War, the generals and officials would not dare to easily obey the dispatch of others.

Only the emperor can mobilize any army anytime and anywhere, and he only needs half of the tiger talisman in his hand to mobilize troops.

The prince stretched out his hand and stroked it on the jade seal. The palace maid said, "Report to your highness, the empress said that after the emperor arrived in Hexi, these things have been kept in the place of the empress. Now that the emperor has passed away, all these things will be handed over to the prince. I just hope that the prince will make good use of it and do not let the emperor down!"

The prince closed his eyes, stroking the jade seal's hand trembled slightly, and asked, "What else does the queen say?"

"No."

"Then how is she?" The prince slowly opened his eyes, "Are you frightened?"

"Mrs. Liuli is taking care of the queen. The queen is in a bad mood. Mrs. Liuli is decocting medicine for her." The palace maid reported: "Mrs. Liuli reassures Your Highness. National affairs are the most important. The lady will take good care of the queen. Your Highness does not need to worry."

"The Empress is really a timely help." Seeing this scene, the officials were immediately happy. At this critical moment, if these things are missing, it would be really difficult to deal with. Although the Queen was frightened, she obviously remained awake and knew what the prince needed most at this time. Even if she sent someone to deliver it, it would be said that she would have helped the prince a lot.

Some people even thought in their hearts that the emperor really trusted the queen. Outsiders thought that the emperor favored the Snowflake Queen and neglected the queen. However, at the critical moment, the emperor still trusted the queen in his heart.

The prince looked sad and didn't say anything for a moment. He quickly raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Where is Yuan Chongshang!"

Yuan Chongshang reached the prince's side in a few steps and knelt down on the ground. The prince picked up the tiger talisman and killed the golden sword and said in a deep voice: "I will hand over these two things to you. The survival of the Qin Dynasty is here. I just hope you will get back to good news soon!"

Yuan Chongshang naturally knew that things would not be delayed, and then there would be changes. He did not hesitate. He took the Golden Sword and Tiger Talisman and said solemnly: "If the ministers do not seize the military power, they will repay His Highness with death!" Without saying a word, he stood up, put away the Golden Sword and Tiger Talisman, bowed deeply, turned around and left.

"Zhou Nayan!"

"There is the official!"

"You are very literary. The palace ordered you to draw three decrees and send someone to the thousand households of the three prefectures in Hexi to tell them that Feng Yuanpo was executed for rebellion, and the barbarians were also loyal to the Qin Dynasty. Feng Polu of the Hexi Imperial Guards had sworn allegiance to the court. As long as they were loyal to the court, they would be immediately granted a marquis." The prince said slowly: "Hexi rebellion is all Feng Yuanpo's fault and has nothing to do with others. Since Feng Yuanpo was executed, everything will be done without any blame... Tell them that if they want to rebel, the Shenyiwei Guard will take action at any time, so that they can be careful to have a head to sleep and get up without a head!"

"The officials immediately wrote it." Zhou Ting looked serious. Everyone present knew that although the conspiracy of the Heavenly Dao Palace was defeated, the matter was far from over. The next one was not handled well, which would definitely lead to the Hexi rebellion. The prince now relied on only a few thousand guards and a Dark Legion Divine Uniform Guard. Moreover, the Divine Uniform Guard did not have much staff. Once the rebels gambled and rushed to the Heavenly Palace, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Remember, you must use the tone of your father." The prince said in a deep voice: "The news of your father's death cannot be spread to the outside for the time being."

Zhou Ting immediately said: "The official understands!"

In fact, everyone knows very well that although the emperor is old, the founding king of the empire is still powerful. If the prince issued an order, it would be far more shocking than the emperor's will.

"Meilong!"

Mei Long, the governor of Hujin Road, immediately bowed and said, "The emperor is here!"

The prince stared at Meilong, "Meilong, what will happen in Hexi will be like? For a moment, I can't tell you. I will send someone to protect you from the Heavenly Palace first. You will immediately return to Hujin Road and prepare troops. Once the situation in Hexi is tense, lead the Hujin army to support you..." He sighed and said, "I can't send you there!"

Hujin Road is located on the south side of Hexi Road, with a small and active surface. It is not only adjacent to Hexi Road, but also connected to Anyi in the northwest, and is adjacent to Xishan Road in the west, and is also connected to Yuling Road in the south. It is surrounded by four roads in the middle, and it is only in two states under its jurisdiction. The Hujin Imperial Guard has only three thousand people. A total of all the troops are only a few thousand, and its strength is extremely weak.

Mei Long did not hesitate and bowed: "The official immediately returned to Hujin, summoned the troops and obeyed the orders of Your Highness!"

"You can't mobilize the state army." The prince picked up another golden sword to avoid death, "You can bring this golden sword token with you. You can mobilize all the troops in Hujin!"

Mei Long took it with both hands, with a solemn expression, "Thank you to your highness to go through fire and water, and the officials are here without hesitation!"—
