A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Chapter 385: King Xiaoyao gets what he wants

"Ping'an Town? Why does the Prime Minister think that they will all flee to Ping'an Town?"

King Xiaoyao had just returned to the capital not long ago and had been busy planning a rebellion, so the details of some things were still unclear.

Prime Minister Dong said: "Because Shen Qingqian, the General Qingyi who was once personally appointed by Emperor Qiyuan, now lives in Ping'an Town.

Of course, King Xiaoyao also knew Shen Qingqian's name. King Rui and Concubine Dong had mentioned it to him more than once. This Shen Qingqian did not get along with them and had harmed them time and again.

Moreover, it was Shen Qingqian who leaked his relationship with Concubine Dong to Emperor Qiyuan, which led to all the troubles that followed.

Therefore, Shen Qingqian is also someone that King Xiaoyao must deal with.

However, King Xiaoyao heard that Shen Qingqian was later dismissed from his post and was no longer in the capital. Therefore, King Xiaoyao planned to settle accounts with Shen Qingqian after he had settled the situation in the capital.

King Xiaoyao thought for a moment and said, "It is indeed possible that Han Qingshan went to Ping'an Town, but I always feel that Emperor Qiyuan has not left the capital and must be hiding in some corner of the capital!"

Since King Xiaoyao was planning to rebel, he must have known something about the situation in the court. He had secretly investigated which officials had what backgrounds and which officials could be won over.

Therefore, he naturally knew the relationship between Han Qingshan, Yingzi and Shen Qingqian. Prime Minister Dong said that Shen Qingqian was now in Ping'an Town, so it was not surprising that Han Qingshan would flee to Ping'an Town.

But he always believed that Emperor Qiyuan should not have left the capital.

Prime Minister Dong said: "Your Majesty, I think that since Emperor Qiyuan is hiding so secretly, we don't need to look for him. It is not a bad idea to just announce his death.

Although our people have taken control of the situation in the capital, many officials in the court are not willing to submit to us. It’s just that the situation is stronger than the people, so they dare not speak out.

But in fact, they all had hope, waiting for Emperor Qiyuan to return strongly one day and lead them out of the predicament.

The reason why Yang Zhi kept on pestering us was because Emperor Qiyuan was still alive. They held on to hope that once they had recaptured Fenjing City, Emperor Qiyuan would be able to come back and turn the situation around.

But what if Emperor Qiyuan died? Wouldn't all their hopes be shattered?

It will be natural for the prince to inherit the throne at that time. After all, the throne is still in the hands of the Zhao family, and they will gradually accept it.

As for the prince, not everyone supports him. What's the point of Yang Zhi rescuing him? As long as half of the people support us, the prince will not dare to come back, and his few supporters will not be able to stir up any waves! "

King Xiaoyao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "The Prime Minister is right. Let's find another corpse that looks like Emperor Qiyuan, dress it up a little, and let everyone see it. I think the effect will be better."

"Ah."

Prime Minister Dong nodded and said, "Your Highness is indeed thoughtful. However, if Emperor Qiyuan doesn't show up, we won't be able to find Prince Rui for the time being, and we don't know how he is doing."

King Xiaoyao said: "Prince Rui is the only trump card in the hands of Emperor Qiyuan. He will not do anything to Prince Rui for the time being. When I truly control the world, I will have no problem finding them!"

Prime Minister Dong said: "Then let's announce the death of Emperor Qiyuan tonight.

By the way, we should also deal with Han Qingshan and Shen Qingqian as soon as possible.

Shen Qingqian is a very evil woman. We tried to kill her several times before, whether by robbery or poisoning, but we failed. Instead, Yue He was harmed badly by her.

It can be said that Yue He was also killed by this woman! We must kill her and avenge Yue He!"

King Xiaoyao was also heartbroken when he thought of Dong Yuehe. When he heard Prime Minister Dong talk about Shen Qingqian, his eyes were full of sinisterness.

"Don't worry, I will avenge Yue He! I will personally capture Shen Qingqian and bury her with Yue He!"

Shen Qingqian would never have thought that even though she was far away from the capital and living a quiet life, she would still be remembered by these people!

Of course, King Xiaoyao would never have thought that the imperial power that was already within his grasp would ultimately fall through just because he provoked Shen Qingqian!

After Yang Zhi and his party rescued the prince, they sneaked into Yang's mansion under the cover of night. There was an underground tunnel in Yang's mansion, but the tunnel could only lead to a small courtyard with two entrances a mile away, and could not lead out of the capital.

Yang Zhi's family hid in that yard through the tunnel, otherwise they would have been captured by King Xiaoyao's men.

The news of Emperor Qiyuan's death spread quickly, like a drop of water dropped into an frying pan, causing quite a stir in the silent capital city.

King Xiaoyao and Prime Minister Dong also achieved the desired effect, and many people began to assess the situation.

Yang Zhi received the news of Emperor Qiyuan's death early the next morning. His first reaction was disbelief, as he thought it was King Xiaoyao's conspiracy.

So he sent two people to secretly inquire. But the result of the inquiry was that it was most likely true, because many people had seen the body of Emperor Qiyuan with their own eyes.

This time, Yang Zhi was a little unsure.

But at this time, Yang Zhi received another bad news. The guard he left outside the city to lead the troops in the battle was seriously injured. The key point is that this person was not injured by the enemy during the battle, but was secretly plotted by his own people.

Yang Zhi knew that this was a hidden traitor in the army who took action and started to cause trouble while he was away.

Yang Zhi let out a long sigh, feeling a sense of sadness that the situation was hopeless.

After careful consideration, Yang Zhi sent a signal to the outside of the city for the army to retreat.

Regardless of whether the death of Emperor Qiyuan was true or false, the balance in many people's hearts would change because of it. Even if he could break through the city gate in time, by then the situation would have been too late, so what could he change?

At this time, he still needs to preserve his strength and plan for the long term.

As soon as Yang Zhi's army withdrew, the capital city completely fell into the hands of King Xiaoyao.

Prime Minister Dong suggested that King Xiaoyao strike while the iron is hot and hold the coronation ceremony as soon as possible.

King Xiaoyao also thought so, but before he ascended the throne, he had to do one more thing, which was to personally take off Shen Qingqian's head to pay tribute to Dong Yuehe's spirit in heaven.

So, two days later, King Xiaoyao personally led thousands of troops and headed towards Ping'an Town.

What happened in the capital had not yet reached Blackrock Mountain, so Shen Qingqian didn't know. Han Qingshan had been bedridden, so he didn't know either.

Yun Gui had previously suggested that Han Qingshan rest for at least two nights before leaving, but Han Qingshan was still concerned about things in the capital, so he left the next night.

Of course, he also deliberately chose to leave at night. He didn't know what the situation in the capital was yet, so he needed to be extra careful.

Yingzi was a little worried about Han Qingshan's health, so she said hello to Shen Qingqian and followed Han Qingshan so that she could take care of him more conveniently.

Shen Qingqian thought it would be a good idea for Yingzi to follow him, so that if anything happened to Han Qingshan, Yingzi could come back and tell her.
