By the time this news reached the imperial study room, it had already spread throughout Kyoto.

Not only in Kyoto, people all over the world are talking about it. It is the current emperor who burned the former prince and poisoned the late emperor. It is the current emperor who colluded with the Nanzhao Kingdom and killed the Xiao family army who was known as the Iron Cavalry Regiment. The heavy blood debt became like this overnight.

"A Catching Fire Starts a Prairie Fire" has been discussed by millions of people by word of mouth. Mixed in all the discussions, there is an increasingly strong voice.

The reason why Your Majesty now raises the former Crown Prince's son, Prince Yu, in the eldest princess's mansion is not to support the blood of his siblings, but simply to humiliate the deceased former Crown Prince.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair in the imperial study with a livid face.

The chamberlain stood beside the emperor, looking at his hair that turned white overnight and the increasingly saggy skin on his face, with a cold look in his eyes.

The emperor has a good face, and after he ascended the throne, he put his face above all else.

In any matter, in any government affairs, the prerequisite for making decisions is that his face must be bright.

A person who loves face like that has his face smashed to the ground and allowed to be ravaged by others. Ever since King Duankang announced that he would do justice for heaven, the emperor had vomited blood a total of twelve times.

How much blood can this man have on his body to make him vomit?

The reason why I can still support my body and sit on this dragon chair and summon my close courtiers to discuss it is just because of my anger.

Just hold on, it's not time for you to die yet.

How could you die so easily after having done so many evil things?

The head chamberlain silently served the emperor a glass of pear soup.

The emperor leaned back on the chair lifelessly, squinting his eyes slightly, with resentment in his eyes.

After a fierce discussion, several royalist courtiers below finally agreed, "Your Majesty, King Duankang started a rebellion. He raised troops in Yuhang and marched all the way to Beijing. The troops we can send now include the southern Xinjiang army, the northwest army, and the Xishan army.

Soldiers of the camp.

The Xishan Camp is responsible for guarding Kyoto and cannot be easily dispatched, leaving only the Southern Xinjiang Army and the Northwest Army.

From the perspective of distance, the northwest army should be able to attack more quickly, and the southern Xinjiang army is good at fighting in the mountains of southern Xinjiang. It is not as handy as the northwest army in the flat areas of the Central Plains.

Orders should be issued to the Northwest Army and ordered to dispatch troops to suppress and eradicate the rebellious parties.

It's just that this time, King Duankang's methods were really vicious, and he even spread such rumors. Many of the soldiers in the Northwest Army were fellow villagers or descendants of the Xiao Family Army. I'm afraid those rumors would sway the Northwest Army. The Northwest Army may not

Able to obey orders completely.”

The emperor was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

But he looked at the veterans below with his dirty eyes, and felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart.

These old ministers were enough to help him balance the situation in the court, but when it came to talking about marching and fighting, none of them could be counted on.

Back then, King Yu was a useful person with numerous strategies, but...he died.

Without Prince Yu, the Emperor's mind was now full of civil and military thoughts, but he couldn't think of anyone capable enough to help him tide over the difficulties.

Sighing in annoyance, the emperor said: "Instead of using the northwest army, use the 100,000 troops from southern Xinjiang and mobilize 50,000. Let Sunan Huai personally lead the troops to annihilate King Duankang."

There were traces of Xiao's army in the Northwest Army, but he couldn't believe it.

Who knows whether the Northwest Army will collude with King Duankang.

If he doesn't give the order, the Northwest Army cannot move. Once it does, it will be rebellion.

The southern Xinjiang army was different. It was an iron cavalry built by Sunan Huai. The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was still in Kyoto. He was not afraid of Sunan Huai's disobedience.

Hearing this, the veteran said with disapproval on his face, "Your Majesty, the southern Xinjiang army is certainly more reliable, but in the end..."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "At this time, it is enough to be reliable!"

As long as the southern Xinjiang army can hold off King Duankang's rebellious army for a month and allow Nanzhao's troops to arrive, it will be enough.

He trusted Nanzhao's troops more than the Northwest Army.

The emperor had made up his mind, but the persuasion of several veterans was in vain. In addition, the current situation was urgent and there was no time to lose. Once the army in southern Xinjiang was decided, several courtiers immediately arranged for people to go to southern Xinjiang to convey the order.

As soon as several courtiers left the imperial study, the chamberlain looked at the emperor's face, hesitated for a moment, and said after considering: "Your Majesty, when King Duankang framed Prince Yu Xiao, he used Nanzhao's weapons. I'm afraid that King Duankang and

There is collusion in Nanzhao."

The emperor closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and waved his hand, "If he had colluded with Nanzhao, he would not have only used ordnance and forged letters when he framed Yu Yan.

It’s just that there was no real collusion, so forgeries were used.”

"Your Majesty is still wise and thinks thoroughly." The chamberlain arched his body and said, "Your Majesty, please take a sip of pear soup to moisten your throat. You have been talking for an hour."

The emperor glanced at the pear soup and did not move.

"What is the second child doing?"

The head chamberlain said hurriedly: "His Royal Highness accidentally fell into the water in the mansion a few days ago. He caught wind and cold and had a high fever. He is still recovering in the mansion."

The emperor only felt more and more powerless, upset and depressed.

When nothing happens, each of these princes would be more active than the other. Now that things are happening, all of them have quietly hid themselves.

"Where's Lao Liu?"

"The Sixth Highness came here early this morning. His Majesty was asleep at that time, so the old slave didn't send the message. The Sixth Highness said that King Duankang was in trouble, and His Majesty might want to use Sunanhuai. He was afraid of an accident and wanted to go and guard Dingyuan himself.

Hou, stop the chaos in Kyoto and let the Marquis of Dingyuan run away."

The emperor sneered, "How could I let him run away!"

As early as the time when Mrs. Dingyuan Hou colluded with King Duankang, the emperor sent people to monitor Dingyuan Hou.

"However, Lao Liu is a bit more naive after all. At this time, he is the only one who is still working. I tell him not to be tired. I will count on him for my future."

The emperor revealed the meaning of the throne.

The head chamberlain quickly lowered his head and said, "I understand."

It's a pity that His Highness the Sixth Prince doesn't care about your passing on the throne.

He thinks your throne is dirty!

What he wants is the share that Prince Yu Xiao sent to him. That is the legitimate inheritance of the throne.

Prince, please watch in heaven, our little prince has grown up, and the play that has been prepared for more than 20 years has begun!

King Duankang started a rebellion and fought all the way from Yuhang to Kyoto. The people sent by the emperor neither brought back elite troops to support Nanzhao nor successfully mobilized the southern Xinjiang army.

King Dankang passed through uninhabited territory all the way, with almost no effort and without encountering any resistance, and successfully reached Jinnan, the outskirts of Kyoto.

On this day, the sky in Kyoto was gloomy, and not a single living person was seen in the streets and alleys.

The common people huddled in their homes and shivered, fearing that the war would spread to Kyoto and bring disaster to Chiyu.

In the palace.

In a panic-stricken atmosphere, the chamberlain stumbled all the way to the royal study.
