"What hole card?" Chen Ziqi let Dan Yi knead without realizing it.As a prince who was picked up halfway, Chen Ziqi was always just a joke in front of the late emperor, and he had never touched any royal secrets.

"I don't know. The emperors of the past three generations all liked to go to Yunzhou, and the spies of Guiyun Palace didn't find anything unusual. Maybe Emperor Wu left behind some dark parts." Dan Yi said uncertainly.

The Dan family and the Chen family have lived in peace for so many years, and there are some unwritten agreements between them.For example, Yuren has certain restrictions on spying on the royal family.So when Emperor Tiande released the salty worms, Dan Yi didn't know about it until after the incident happened.

"Since that's the case, we have to be careful." Chen Ziqi clenching his fist and shattering the news note, can make Tiande abandon the Northwest Army's guards and flee, and Yunzhou must have a treasure that can make him come back.

"You don't have to worry too much, I'm here." Dan Yi squeezed the person onto the tree trunk, lowered her head and rubbed her soft lips.

"If we can outsmart, we won't fight recklessly," Chen Ziqi squeezed Dan Yi's face, pushed him away a little, and squinted at him with sparkling peach eyes, "If you solve the two of them, you still have to follow me After ascending the throne, if you get hurt again this time, I won't let you in the bridal chamber."

When Dan Yi heard this, she couldn't help but look serious, "Okay, I will definitely not get hurt this time."

"..." It's useless to say that it will hurt or worry, but it's obedient to say that it will affect the bridal chamber. Chen Ziqi laughed angrily, and punched the little color bird.

Dan Yi clenched that fist, spread it out, and crouched down in the form of a little red bird.

Chen Ziqi put the little fur ball back into his arms, returned to the army, and ordered to divert to Yunzhou.However, he walked slowly all the way, not in a hurry, and at the same time asked someone to report to the second child, saying that their elite teacher, who was rescued by King Qin, suddenly died.

When the news reached King Wan's barracks, Chen Gu, who had gone to assassinate him, also returned.

With a muffled bang, the fragrant purple-gold Panlong incense burner slammed heavily on the table, and the incense ash was scattered all over the table, staining the battle report Chen Zijian was reading in smoky gray.

Chen Zijian gritted his teeth, raised his head calmly, "Did you succeed?"

"The emperor is not in the palace at all!" Chen Gu flicked his night clothes, with a bit of coldness in his eyes, "Not only the emperor, but all the princes are gone."

"What?" Chen Zijian stood up abruptly, and the incense burner fell down the slanted tabletop, making a "jingling" sound.The purple-gold coiled dragon pattern is something that would only be placed in the Zichen Palace, the emperor's bedroom, which proves that Chen Gu has indeed been there.

The army is besieging the capital, but Emperor Tiande is not in the palace, where is he?If he abandons the palace and flees, he should take the Northwest Army with him.

"Report—Your Majesty, there is news from the south that the [-] elite soldiers of Nanxun King Qin have diverted their route and headed straight for Yunzhou." The guard who sent the message fell off his horse, holding his military token, and rushed into the king's tent. .

The Nanxun Army was the team that wiped out the Jiyang Sect, and it was an elite soldier secretly cultivated by Emperor Tiande over the years.Earlier, Chen Zijian was anxious to assassinate the emperor because he was also afraid that the Nanxun army would arrive.Nanxun and the Northwest Army attacked back and forth, and their Jianghu army would be attacked from both sides.

Now, Tiande is not in the palace, and King Qin's teacher has transferred to Yunzhou, so it is clear at a glance what happened.

"Siege the city!" Chen Zijian pondered for a long time, ordered directly, and spread the news that Emperor Tiande was dead to the Northwest Army.I don't know if the rumors played a role. After three days and three nights of fierce fighting, a hole was finally opened in the strict defense of the Northwest Army, and the Jianghu army directly attacked the capital.

In the eyes of the masters of the two factions, the defense of the Nine Gates was like paper, and they occupied the palace effortlessly.The vassal king led troops into the palace, and the emperor abandoned the palace and fled, which meant a change of regime.

Chen Zijian stood in the center of the hall, looking at the pure gold Coiling Dragon Throne on the nine red steps, with mixed feelings.Since he was a child, he knew that the royal family was weak, and he had to find another way to change the current situation.Abandoning the position of prince, learning Huangshan swordsmanship, wandering around the rivers and lakes for many years.With martial arts by his side, those Jiang Hu talents will look at him high, and only then will he be gradually gathered in the palm of his hand.

Walking up the steps step by step, Chen Zijian sat on the dragon chair and couldn't help laughing out loud.Facts have proved that he is right. In today's arena, there are only two great sects left, and they are all under their control. This world, after all, still belongs to him.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, long live my emperor!" the head disciple of the Huangshan Sect said with a smile, knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Zijian.

"Long live, long live, long live!" The other disciples followed suit, shouting long live.

Sitting on the golden chair and living in the Zichen Palace, Chen Zijian humbly did not proclaim himself emperor, but in the name of "the side of the Qing emperor", he quickly killed a group of ministers in Beijing and searched everywhere for the Gu master next to Emperor Tiande.

If there is anything about Emperor Tiande that makes the second child afraid, it is the gray robe Gu master.Back then when he was hit by the Heart-eating Gu, he suffered a big somersault and almost lost to Tiande, Chen Zijian hated that Gu master to the bone.He couldn't find anyone, and he couldn't sleep well at night.

On the third night of occupying the imperial palace on the west tower, Chen Zijian finally slept in the emperor's bedroom—Zichen Palace.

In the middle of the night, there is no one, and there is silence outside the window, only the hissing of crickets can be heard endlessly.A figure slowly passed by the window covered with white Goryeo paper.

"Who?" Chen Zijian woke up suddenly, opened his eyes, the bright yellow curtain had already been lifted, and through the moonlight, he could only see a bluish-white face staring at him intently.

Quickly drawing his sword, Chen Zijian stabbed at him, knocked the man down to the ground, and shouted: "Come on!"

The guards outside the door rushed in immediately and quickly lit the candle.

"Ahhh..." The people on the ground let out a low growl, which was quite terrifying, and they struggled to get up, about to bite Chen Zijian.

It was only then that Chen Zijian could see clearly the appearance of this man, he was clearly the little eunuch who was on duty to serve him tonight.The little eunuch's eyes were red, and his mouth was wide open, clenching his teeth like a beast.

"Salty insect?" Chen Zijian felt chills all over his body when he saw this, this little eunuch was brought here from Prince Wan's mansion, not the original one in the palace.In other words, he was actually infected with saltworms in the past two days!

The guards quickly searched the Zichen Palace, and the other eunuchs and maids who were on duty at night were dead and crazy, and none of them was normal.Huang Hua came here in a hurry, and handed over a Bailan Gu to Chen Zijian, which they exchanged with Guiyun Palace for Xiao Shao.

"Search the palace, sprinkle salt into the food and drinking water!" Chen Zijian quickly swallowed the Bailan Gu and ordered loudly.He knew that it was impossible for Emperor Tiande to leave without doing anything.

The night passed very long, and at dawn, the guards went to sprinkle salt and search everywhere.Eating is fine, incense is fine, but drinking water...

The entire palace, every well, every pond, and even the big tanks that receive rainwater in front of every house are full of salt bugs. If you sprinkle a handful of salt, the entire water surface will shake.This worm seems to be much more powerful than the previous salty worm. Once infected, the weak body will go crazy for two days.

None of the maids, eunuchs, and even concubines left behind by Emperor Tiande were spared.Unable to be cured, Chen Zijian had no choice but to order these people to be executed, and all the corpses were moved outside the city and burned, only saying that there was an epidemic in the palace.

As soon as the King of Anhui entered Beijing, the maids and eunuchs in the palace were infected with the epidemic, and the people in the capital closed their homes, saying that the King of Anhui was punished by heaven for usurping power.

And this year, it happened to be a year of natural disasters. Many places in the Central Plains suffered severe droughts and no crops were harvested.The various sects are focused on fighting for power and profit, and have no time to look after them.Especially the Jiyang Sect and the Yandang Mountain Sect, because the sects were destroyed and there was no one to protect them, the lives of the people around them fell into a difficult situation. The food harvested with great difficulty was looted by the refugees and gangsters who came from the famine.

The people who couldn't survive rose up.

"The vassal kings will be punished by heaven!" The young man with a red turban on his head shouted while standing on the slope.Below the slope, the ragged people shouted.

"The national teacher is right. The auspicious position is in the south." In the Yunzhou Palace, Emperor Tiande slowly smiled and looked at the person who came forward to report the letter. "How is the plan going?" The soldiers were on their way, and at the same time the people raised their poles, and soon countless troops gathered in a steady stream, and it was easy to go back to fight the second child who was flustered by the Gu insects.

"There have been mutinies in three places, and the people believe in the saying of divine punishment, but..." The messenger frowned, looking very embarrassed.

"But what?" Emperor Tiande stopped drinking tea.

"The common people say... the Seventh Prince is the true son, and they all went to join the Nanxun army." The messenger knelt on the ground with a plop, his forehead on the ground, not daring to look at the emperor.

"Crack!" Emperor Tiande slammed the cup on the ground and grabbed the messenger by the collar, "What's going on? Tell me clearly!"

"People say that there is a phoenix on King Jian's head, it must be God's blessing..."

Where is the phoenix in the blue sky?Emperor Tiande gritted his teeth, he didn't believe it at all, it must be Chen Ziqi's fault!

On the marching road, Chen Ziqi was riding a tall green horse, and two golden phoenixes were hovering above his head. From a distance, he looked very auspicious.Wherever he passed, the people knelt down and kowtowed.

Dragon spirit attracts phoenix, this is the true destiny!

"..." Chen Ziqi twitched the corners of his mouth, he just wanted to create a miracle, not to become a magic stick.When other emperors rose to power, their miracles were completed in an instant. My grandfather and father seemed to be addicted to the game and followed him all the way.
