Not all of Huang Yuting's subordinates are completely loyal. If the prince takes the throne, they will most likely turn against him.
Only complete loyalty can be trusted. Cao Ren spent a lot of effort to control those people with the cultivation of great saints and saint masters. The blue lotus mark is no joke.
Then control those people in important official positions. Anyway, he has a lot of time now. Most of them, whether civil or military officials, have not reached the supreme cultivation.
A month later, Cao Ren has controlled many officials, who are making moves in secret. The generals of the imperial city and the commander of the imperial palace guards are all under control.
Except for some people who often cannot be taken in crowded places, many important figures have been dealt with.
If the high-level figures are under control, the people below naturally don't have to worry anymore. The people below will only obey the orders of the high-level people and can't resist at all.
In the Xiaosha Marquis Mansion, Luo Qixue is also making close arrangements. The current situation in the imperial city is very tense, and more and more people are coming in.
The major factions of the Piaomiao Empire, the princes and nobles, the princes and marquises, they are all waiting for the opportunity.
Cao Ren cannot control these, but he controls the entire imperial city and the imperial palace, and many of the officials are also under his control, so the probability of winning is also very high if a real fight comes.
The old emperor's condition has worsened, and now he is lying in bed, unable to get up.
It seems that he can't hold on for a few days. The people on the prince's side are also stepping up their actions, and the people on the princess' side are also stepping up their actions. Until the last moment, it is impossible to know who will win.
If the will is that the prince will take the throne, then the princess will mutiny, the prince's people will control the situation, and a fierce battle will begin.
Most of the princes and princesses have been summoned back, and many troops have appeared near the imperial city. The residents in the imperial city basically dare not come out, and they have also noticed that something is wrong.
The imperial city is now like a powder keg. As long as the emperor dies, this powder keg will explode, and the blood will flow like a river and cannot be stopped.
If you stand on the wrong side, you will be killed, or even your entire family will be executed. This is a battle for power.
Cao Ren was also ready, and a storm was about to begin.
Three days later, the old emperor was sleeping in bed. He felt that he was dying. He had already made a will. He slowly opened his eyes and waved.
Several ministers ran over immediately. There was a room full of princes and princesses outside. Some important people had not come.
"Pass, pass the throne to the crown prince..."
The old emperor breathed his last, and several ministers heard it, as did the princes and princesses outside.
"Father..."
"Take care, father..."
...
"According to the will, pass the throne to the crown prince Huang Taiquan."
The crown prince Huang Taiquan was heartbroken on the surface, but he was very happy in his heart. After waiting for so many years, he finally became the emperor.
"Father, I won't waste your hard work!" Huang Taiquan quickly passed the message with the token.
Although his father passed the throne to him, now is the most thrilling moment. He must keep the throne and not let others take it away.
The eldest princess heard the news and also secretly said something. Huang Yuting and Cao Ren were together. They all knew that the world was going to change.
The prince quickly asked the palace guards to surround the entire palace, and the officials and families who supported him also took action. The eldest princess also took action, because she had an army.
After hearing the order, the army outside the city immediately ordered to attack the imperial city. There was another dark guard outside the city, which was the prince's.
The two armies fought, the gates of the imperial city were closed, and a large number of monks flew towards the palace.
The prince ordered the palace guards to defend the palace. A large number of monks came out from somewhere in the imperial city and fought with the monks outside.
In the depths of the Piaomiao Empire, many supreme ancestors and quasi-emperors flew out. They watched quietly in the air and did not stop it.
As long as this is a struggle between the royal family, they cannot take action. Unless other countries intervene, they come out just to prevent other great emperors from taking advantage of the situation.
No matter how fierce the battle is, the Supreme cannot take action. This is the rule. If the rule is violated, it will be a big deal.
The people of the Crown Prince and the people of the Grand Princess started fighting. They fought outside the imperial city and inside the imperial city. The people of other princes also joined the fight.
Huang Taiquan was anxiously circling in the palace. There were several ministers around him, and two ancestors were by his side. The other princes and princesses were outside.
As long as he could resist the attack of the Grand Princess and other princes, the throne would be stable. The fifth prince had just been killed by him, and the people of the third and fourth princes were also attacking here.
Those princes and princesses outside had no power background, so they came here. If nothing unexpected happened,, they will most likely be placed under house arrest, or become the free and easy prince.
Huang Taiquan is still paying attention, and there are news coming from his hands, some good news and some bad news. And there is a third princess who has not come out yet.
The battle has reached a fever pitch, and there are dead people outside and inside the imperial city. Some casual cultivators are bolder and quietly go out to get storage rings.
Seeing that the time is almost right, Huang Yuting ordered her people to set off. This is a life-and-death battle.
I saw that the high-level of the Imperial Palace Guards suddenly turned against them and directly opened the first gate of the palace. More cultivators came out from the dark to fight.
All the people in Xiaoshahou Mansion also came out to fight. Luo Qixue borrowed the last token from her grandfather. Xiaoshahou had no choice. Xiaoshahou Mansion was involved in the battle. If it didn't win this time, it would be bad.
This token can command elites. Although there are only 30 people, they are all high-level great saints, and there are several supremes. 20 high-level great saints took action, and they were all hiding in various places in the imperial city.
"Damn it!" Crown Prince Huang Taiquan did not expect that his people would turn against him. They originally helped him resist the attack of the eldest princess, but now they opened the city gates and the eldest princess's people were going to attack.
There were also a group of ministers who originally helped him, but now they turned against him and became the third princess's people.
Although the third princess's people were fewer than theirs, Huang Taiquan and the eldest princess consumed a large number of people in the initial competition, and the third princess had many high-level monks.
Huang Taiquan could only open the palace formation to prevent others from coming in. The two armies outside the palace suffered heavy casualties, and the third army came to join the battle.
The battle lasted for three days and three nights. The eldest princess was defeated and fled with her people. Huang Taiquan did not get any benefits either, and his people were basically killed.
Huang Yuting and the people from Xiaoshahou Mansion, as well as a group of ministers, have come to the outside of the palace.
The entire imperial city was blocked, and now everyone is her people. Cao Ren controlled the upper levels. After defeating the lower levels at the beginning, the people left on both sides could no longer withstand the attacks from the upper levels.
