The wind is cold.

Countless people watched the army heading towards the palace.

In front of the old palace of Zhongxing Prefecture, Tuoba Xiong, He Liandong, Wu Deng and other famous clan leaders of the Xixia clan personally brought the real powers of the clan to wait outside the palace gate.

The army arrived in front of the palace.

Tuoba Xiong and others all knelt down on the ground, "I welcome the emperor!"

Generals from Heliancheng and other generals from the Annunciation clan each looked at the clan leader in their family, but unfortunately, Heliandong and others lowered their heads. These charming eyes were thrown to Xiazi.

The army stopped.

Zhongsun Qifu sat on the chariot next to the dragon chassis and said, "The emperor is not safe in the dragon body. Please follow the dragon to enter the palace."

Tuoba Xiong and others then raised their heads in surprise.

The emperor is in trouble with dragon body?

Then I saw the constantly blinking eyelids of the elites in their respective races.

But who knows what they want to express?

The dragon chasing curtain and the door curtain were sealed from beginning to end, and even the cold wind could not blow it up even in a corner.

Hundreds of personal guards guarded the dragon and rushed into the palace.

Zhongsun Qifu, Heliancheng and others followed.

The heads of each family were interested in asking questions, but because they were behind, they could only slowly enter the palace with doubts.

But some people thought to themselves, how safe the Emperor’s dragon body has reached?

Will this affect the date of the throne ceremony?

Those who know Li Wangyuan have a deep understanding of him are full of suspicion. The emperor is said to have the strength of the Shangyuan realm. With his internal energy cultivation, how could he be ill for no reason?

Everyone entered the palace with their own thoughts, with hundreds of people.

This is probably to bring together all the people with enough influence in Xixia here.

Go to the palace hall.

The dragon chasing stopped, and everyone stopped.

The curtain of the dragon gallop was finally lifted open. Li Xiushu held Li Wangyuan's urn and stepped on the soldiers' backs and chased them up and down. She climbed the jade ladder step by step, passed the dragon wall, and walked towards the hall.

Zhongsun Qifu followed Li Xiushu with his head down.

Someone looked up and saw the urn in Li Xiushu's hand, and his expression changed drastically.

With their minds and scheming, they certainly understood that the emperor was ill and that it was nonsense. The emperor had already passed away!

Immediately, someone glared at the elites who followed the army to fight at home.

If they had known that the emperor had passed away, they would never have stepped into the Zhongxing Mansion easily.

When Heliancheng saw his father He Liandong's reproachful gaze, he shook his head slightly, showing a helpless look. If he had the chance, how could he not spread the news?

Unfortunately, since the emperor passed away and the princess returned to the army, all these generals have been seen so hard.

The princess' cunning methods were far beyond their expectations.

Now, Heliancheng has no hope that his family will be able to seize the power of the Western Xia after the emperor's death. He shook his head slightly, just to signal his father not to act rashly.

It is no secret that old ministers such as Zhongsun Qifu, who had a huge influence in Xixia, were loyal to His Royal Highness the Princess in the army.

Now that many heads of the family have entered the palace, how could His Highness, who is extremely ruthless, let the power fall?

Li Xiushu, Zhongsun Qifu and two reached the top of the steps, before the main hall.

Turning back suddenly.

Li Xiushu said in a cold voice: "My brother was injured in the chaos and was murdered by thieves. Unfortunately, he died. He was buried in the imperial tomb on the first day of the Lunar New Year!"

In a word, her identity is about to emerge.

When Tuoba Xiong and others heard her say this in person, they felt even more lucky.

The emperor has indeed passed away.

For a moment, everyone's thoughts became even more chaotic.

Before, they thought that the emperor would win the victory with a large army, so they had no other intentions, and they just wanted to come and get a good title. After all, Li Wangyuan was a royal family with pure blood and had the assistance of Zhongsun Qifu and others. Even if they had any wrong ideas, they could not do it. In the past, they could endure humiliation and be loyal to the Yuan Dynasty, but now it is not bad to be loyal to the emperor.

But now, the emperor has passed away. Their minds have arisen.

There is no more royal talent in the territory of Xixia who can control everyone. If they support someone to enter the ceremony, wouldn’t they truly control Xixia and use the emperor to command the princes?

These heads of the family had worked hard to help Zhongsun Qifu restore the reign in order to get rid of the control of the Yuan Dynasty. Speaking of which, those were all ambitious people.

Under such temptation, no one can keep calm, and their hearts are waving.

If I had known that the emperor had passed away, I was afraid that no one would have come to Zhongxing Mansion.

Although you dare not stand on your own, you may not be able to truly support someone on the dragon throne, but wouldn’t it be better to just sit in your own territory and just face the Western Xia?

Many people couldn't help but turn their eyes to Zhongsun Qifu in fear and suspicion.

They only thought that it was written by Zhongsun Qifu that concealed the news of the emperor's death.

This old guy wants to be emperor?

Or should I order the puppet to support it?

In Xixia, Zhongsun Qi had a great reputation. Among so many people, he was the one who was most likely to control the new emperor, and even became the emperor.

Tuoba Xiong and others all looked ugly.

I thought to myself, it would be difficult to leave Zhongxing Mansion easily this time.

Could it be better to have a good time with Zhongsun Qifu and the old thief Xu and wait until he returns to his own territory?

However, Zhongsun Qifu is a scheming thief, will he let himself go back like this?

And just as everyone was in a state of chaos, Li Xiushu spoke again.

"The brother's revenge must be revenged. Xixia has just established itself, but it cannot be without a master. This palace decided to take over the national seal and ascend to the throne on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and swear to flourish Xixia and avenge my brother!"

Confused.

Most of the people present were stunned.

The heads of the family kneeling on the ground all looked up at Li Xiushu in amazement.

This is definitely not written by Zhongsun Qifu.

They had been engaged in dealing with Zhongsun Qifu for decades and knew him well. Zhongsun Qifu always made plans before acting, and slowly planned it, just like secretly developing its power under the control of the Yuan Dynasty over the years. His Royal Highness's idea of ​​directly speaking out the emperor was too abrupt, and it was impossible for Zhongsun Qifu to instruct him.

Moreover, if Zhongsun Qifu's city, he would never support a woman like His Highness, even if he wanted to support a puppet.

At this moment, everyone discovered that the princess, who was ignored by them, was not an ordinary person.

Looking at her eyes, it didn't seem like this thought that suddenly appeared.

The juniors in the family failed to convey the news of the emperor's death back home. Could it be that the princess's arm was the one with the arm?

Yes.

His Highness the Princess was once a concubine in the Yuan Dynasty palace. It seems that it is not impossible to have such cunning methods.

Someone suddenly thought of this.

Under the steps, no one spoke, and for a long time, the needle was heard.

"What? Do you have any objections?"

Li Xiushu looked at everyone with very beautiful phoenix eyes, "Although this palace is a woman, it is only the royal family. If you don't speak, are you trying to support others to be emperor?"

Everyone who was already confused when they heard her words was even more confused.

Even though these people were all powerful people in Xixia, they were all very cunning, but the death of Li Wangyuan was too abrupt, and they were really not mentally prepared. At this moment, no one made up his mind.

Li Xiushu really caught them off guard.

"The old minister bows to the emperor!"

"The old minister bows to the emperor!"

"The old minister bows to the emperor!"

...

At this moment, led by Zhongsun Qifu, all the old ministers of Xixia kowtowed to Li Xiushu.

Although no one among these old ministers is the real masters of various military departments except Zhongsun Qifu, they have prestige and power that cannot be underestimated in various places.

The restoration forces gathered by them, centered on Zhongsun Qifu, can already have the strength to compete with the various families.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to restore the throne after Li Wangyuan came back, so he would restore the throne.

Tuoba Xiong, He Liandong and others were in a state of chaos.

No one can surpass these old ministers.

If you get into trouble with these old guys, even their respective territory will be in chaos.

But, if they want them to agree with Li Xiushu ascending the throne, who is willing to? Who is willing?

Since ancient times, only Wu Zhao of the Tang Dynasty has ascended the throne and become emperor.

Not to mention their own selfishness, just take the general trend of Xixia for example. Among Tuoba Xiong and others, how many people can believe that Li Xiushu can truly lead Xixia to glory?

The current Xixia is far from the prosperous era in the Tang Dynasty.

These days, women's status is far inferior to men's.

In the end, someone gritted the bullet and spoke, "Your Highness, since the founding of the country, there has been no precedent for a princess to proclaim himself emperor..."
