The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince
Chapter 461: Intimidation and Pressure
The team marched for more than ten miles, the road ahead became wider and wider, and they were almost approaching the palace.
At this time, thousands of soldiers blocked the road in front of a square. The army was divided into two groups, one with about 3,000 people and the other with 2,000 people.
In front of the army, dozens of people stood there, led by Prince Ling. They looked at Jiang Fan and others who had rushed over. Prince Ling's pupils shrank slightly, and countless lights flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Fan looked at the army in front of him, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He turned his head and looked at Situ Yun.
Situ Yun reacted and nodded quickly to Jiang Fan, urging his horse to ride forward, and his two sons followed.
Situ Yun came to Prince Ling and got off his horse. He looked at Prince Ling with a complicated expression.
"Your Majesty, the situation has changed. The East Gate has been occupied by the Great Yan Army! There are 40,000 soldiers stationed there, and the remaining 100,000 Yan soldiers are stationed outside the East Gate!"
As soon as he said this, Prince Ling's face changed slightly, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes, although he had just received the news that the East Gate was occupied by the Yan army.
But he couldn't believe it was true. After all, Situ Yun and his son shouldn't be so weak.
But looking at the white-robed army that appeared before him, and the thousands of soldiers behind them, combined with Situ Yun's words, he knew that Jiang Fan had really taken over the East Gate!
At this moment, his eyes flickered, and countless thoughts flashed through his eyes, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. He had the idea of attacking Jiang Fan and leaving him here.
"Your Highness, think twice! The army he has is very strong! If you don't have a foolproof plan, you should never fight him head-on!" Situ Yun sensed the murderous intent in Prince Ling's eyes and quickly advised.
The power that Jiang Fan displayed outside the city gate really made him fearful. He had a hunch that even if he had another 10,000 people, it might not be enough to kill the army in front of him!
Upon hearing this, Prince Ling looked towards Situ Yun. Meeting the caution and fear in the other's eyes, he suppressed the urge in his heart.
Situ Yun was a calm person, known for his calmness. And facts proved that his calmness was always the right choice. He believed in Situ Yun's vision.
So, even though he wanted to keep Jiang Fan here, he thought it would be better to endure it until he was sure enough.
He suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, a smile appeared on his face, and he walked towards Jiang Fan and Li Changle with his court officials.
He was the first to bow and said to Li Changle, "Your humble servant Li Yuanshen greets the Seventh Princess and the Ninth Prince."
Following his voice, a group of court officials who followed him quickly echoed him.
"Now, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day. I implore the Seventh Princess to help the Ninth Prince inherit the throne and stabilize the court..." Prince Ling Li Yuanshen said again.
Having said that, he glanced at Jiang Fan playfully, with a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes.
Jiang Fan once told Situ Yun that he wanted to make Li Changle the emperor, but he just wouldn't do as Jiang Fan wanted. If you make Li Changle the emperor, then I will make Li Zhi the emperor!
For him, Li Zhi is young and easier to control than Li Changle! Of course, the main reason is that Li Changle is supported by Jiang Fan.
How could they let Jiang Fan get what he wanted!
Li Changle's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he looked at Li Yuanshen, and then at Situ Yun and his son. Li Changle remembered that his grandfather and uncle had promised Jiang Fan that they would help him get promoted.
Li Changle didn't necessarily want to be the emperor, she just wanted to protect herself. But now Li Yuanshen supported her brother, which was clearly an attempt to support a puppet.
At that time, if Jiang Fan no longer cared about her, the final outcome of the siblings might be an unclear death.
"Grandpa! My two uncles, is this what you meant?!" Li Changle looked at Situ Yun and the other two and said.
The three father and son opposite each other showed guilt on their faces when they heard this. They turned their heads away and for a moment, they didn't know how to answer Li Changle.
They were actually resistant to Li Yuanshen's proposal at first, but Li Yuanshen said that there had never been a woman as emperor since ancient times, and that making Li Changle the emperor would encounter unprecedented obstacles.
There was no way they could succeed. Even if they had won the Jingnan Campaign, if the ministers in the court did not support them, the final result would be failure.
Anyway, Li Yuanshen would support Li Zhi to take the throne, and with their military support, who would dare to stop him? So, this was also their choice.
"Good...very good! Haha...Grandpa, uncle, you really are my dear grandpa and uncle!" Li Changle smiled bitterly.
Now, they have abandoned her for the sake of power. If one day, she needs to die because of power, does that mean that her relatives will also watch her die!
"Changle, since ancient times, no woman has been able to become emperor. If you become emperor, we will not be tolerated in Daxi or in the world! Don't worry, as long as your grandfather and uncle are here, you are still Princess Changle!" Situ Yun said at this time.
Li Changle seemed to have lost her spirit. She had no power or influence, and even if she wanted to, she was powerless. Now, except Jiang Fan, no one was willing to support her.
Even Jiang Fan might not really support her. After all, if he supported her at this time, he would become an enemy of the entire Daxi Dynasty.
Is Jiang Fan really willing to go against the entire Great Western Dynasty for her? Even if Jiang Fan has the upper hand now, her grandfather, uncle and Prince Ling have already stood together.
What Jiang Fan faced was no longer the Daxi Dynasty that he was powerless to resist, but a united Daxi Dynasty.
Li Zhi in her arms felt her sister's helplessness. The little guy reached out and held her sister's hand, looking at her with concern.
The little guy didn't understand anything, he just knew that his sister seemed to be bullied.
"You are all bad guys, bullying your sister." The little guy glared at everyone. He looked fierce, but there was no deterrent power at all.
Seeing Li Changle's helpless appearance, Situ Yun felt a little guilty, but the guilt was soon replaced by determination.
"Princess, please take His Majesty to the court to prepare for the ascension to the throne..." Prince Ling stepped forward and said to Li Changle again. There was a sense of intimidation in his voice.
Just as Li Changle sighed and prepared to accept her fate, a hand beside her pulled her back as she was about to dismount.
She turned her head and saw Jiang Fan looking at her coldly. Although his eyes were still cold, the words he said made her feel warm.
"You are my woman, how can they decide your fate?!" Jiang Fan said to Li Changle indifferently.
At this point, he looked at Prince Ling and Situ Yun and the others across from him, and said in a domineering tone, "Everyone, have you forgotten about me?"
"Do you think you are still qualified to nominate the current Great Western Emperor? Without my permission, who dares to bypass me and nominate an emperor?"
As soon as Jiang Fan said this, Prince Ling, a group of court officials, and Situ Yun and his son all changed their expressions slightly.
