Chapter 400 End

On the fifth day of the national mourning, the King of Qi finally lost his temper.

If he doesn't take action, the throne will belong to Huo Yuchen.

At this point, he would absolutely refuse to give up the business.

He secretly colluded with the late-arriving prince of Wuheng State, and the two sides reached an agreement. They planned to let Marquis Huaiyin dispatch troops to the capital to force Huo Yuchen to abdicate before he ascended the throne.

Marquis Huaiyin has 50,000 troops at his disposal. If they could be transferred here, it would be entirely feasible to take advantage of the national mourning to surround the entire capital and force him to abdicate.

By then, the throne will be within reach.

The King of Qi had a very good plan.

He was dreaming his own beautiful dreams day after day, not knowing that his every move had long been under Huo Yuchen's surveillance.

Shortly after he sent out the carrier pigeon message, Huo Yuchen also sent an urgent secret letter to Bai Wuji and Wei Zixing.

At critical moments, these two war gods can withstand tremendous pressure, so we still have to rely on them.

When Lin Pianran told Han Chaolin about the collusion between King Qi and Marquis Huaiyin, he looked indifferent.

Then, he called the leader of the secret guards and ordered in front of Lin Pianran, "Second brother Han Chaofeng is not far from Huaiyin Hou's base. Let him attack at night! Even if we can't strangle them all, we can at least defeat them severely."

At this time, Bai Wuji had just destroyed Princess Rongyang's five thousand soldiers and was preparing to return to the capital.

The moment he received the urgent secret letter, he knew that a new mission had arrived.

So he led 6,000 troops and turned around to intercept Huaiyin Hou's troops.

Although his troops did not have any advantage in terms of numbers, they were all elite soldiers who had been baptized in many battles and could definitely fight ten to one. They were completely on a different level from the ordinary soldiers of Marquis Huaiyin and could not be compared at all.

With him around, those people of Huaiyin Hou will never be able to get close to the capital.

In addition to mobilizing the 50,000 troops under the command of Marquis Huaiyin, the King of Qi also contacted the 5,000 private soldiers under the command of the Duke of Zhenguo.

Although all the members of the Zhenguo Duke's family were exiled, he left these private soldiers to the King of Qi before exile, hoping that one day when the King of Qi was in power, he would bring them back to the capital to enjoy a good life.

The "Dark Moon Pavilion" in the hands of Prince Duan still had some remnant forces, which were all secretly taken over by Prince Qi. Although there were only more than a thousand people left, they were all people with great martial arts skills.

It is still very useful at critical moments.

However, what the King of Qi did not expect was that these men in black disappeared without a trace the day after he contacted them, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth.

This incident made the King of Qi so angry that he was fuming.

Currently in the capital, the only one with such extraordinary abilities is Huo Yuchen. It seems that he really underestimated his brother, the Crown Prince.

But when he thought of the group of highly skilled Black Cloud Guards under Huo Yuchen's command, King Qi suddenly understood everything.

Although he lost more than a thousand people, he was not very sad.

After all, the 50,000 soldiers and horses in the hands of Marquis Huaiyin and the 3,000 brave grassland warriors in the hands of Prince Wuheng are the important bargaining chips in his hands.

Just two days before the end of the national mourning, the prince of Wuheng Kingdom was accompanying the princess to buy things on the street when he was suddenly attacked by a group of men in black and was beheaded in the street.

In addition, the troops of Marquis Huaiyin were still not arriving, and the King of Qi finally realized that the situation was hopeless.

He will never be able to ascend to the throne.

He was very practical and immediately handed over all the 5,000 private soldiers left by the Duke of Zhenguo to Huo Yuchen.

Then, he started to stay indoors and behave himself.

*****

After the haze of national mourning dissipated.

Then came the coronation ceremony of Huo Yuchen and the coronation ceremony of Lin Pianran.

The relationship between the emperor and empress was not affected at all by the change in their status.

On the contrary, it is like honey mixed with oil, which makes it sweeter.

They cast aside the complicated etiquette and constraints of the royal family and lived a simple and warm life like an ordinary civilian couple. They were almost inseparable and very loving.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, they have been married for more than five months. Lin Pianran suddenly fainted in the imperial garden and was diagnosed with being pregnant.

When Huo Yuchen heard the news, he rushed to Fengyi Palace without waiting for the court to adjourn.

This made all the ministers in the court look at each other in bewilderment.

A few months later, the emperor and empress's first son was finally born.

Lin Pianran, who had just given birth to a child, became busy as soon as she finished her confinement period.

In order to improve the social status of women in the Qin Kingdom, Lin Pianran took out a large amount of silver and opened a large number of girls' schools with the capital as the center, so that women could have the opportunity to study.

This way, we will have more choices in society in the future.

Then, she appointed Shen Mubai to lead a team to build roads everywhere according to the planned routes, preparing to open up trade routes between the Great Qin Kingdom and neighboring countries.

Lin Pianran also provided potato and sweet potato seeds, allowing farmers to plant them in large quantities, thus solving the problem of food and clothing for more people.

From then on, the people of the Great Qin State lived a good life with enough food and warm clothing.

The national strength of the Qin State rose rapidly like bamboo shoots in spring, and in a blink of an eye, it became a superpower with a rich and powerful country.

After the country became rich and the people became strong, Huo Yuchen and Lin Pianran's ambitions also flourished, and they began to want to realize their ambitions of expanding their territory.

Wei Zixing and Bai Wuji, two wise and brave generals, were entrusted with the important task of commanding the Qin cavalry and embarked on a journey to conquer various countries.

Created one war myth after another.

In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, Huo Yuchen ordered the Ministry of War to make every effort to create repeating crossbows and compound bows, and to equip and use them in large quantities in the army.

Their appearance undoubtedly provided the Qin army with an indestructible layer of armor, causing the overall combat effectiveness of the Qin to soar rapidly, like a tiger adding wings, unstoppable.

The soldiers of the Great Qin State swept across various countries with the force of thunder and lightning, writing a glorious chapter.

Bai Wuji was even more brave and invincible, becoming a legend on the battlefield. He even led his army to attack the Xiongnu royal court, forcing them to flee in panic.

Lin Pianran's business was very big. He even set up a caravan to conduct long-distance trade with other countries and made a lot of money.

Because she was too busy, she handed over all the business to Huanxue, Tianzhu and Lu Jianmin. With their unremitting efforts, the business territory continued to expand to other countries.

From the beginning to the end, Huo Yuchen only had Lin Pianran as his woman, and he even kept his harem empty for many years for her.

The couple has three sons and one daughter.

The eldest son, Huo Tingxiao, was named the crown prince at an early age, and the other two sons, one a scholar and one a warrior, were both outstanding among the younger generation.

Wei Zixing lived a stable life in his later years, with many children and grandchildren, and lived a happy and healthy life.

Later, Bai Wuji met the woman he fell in love with at first sight. After they got married, they had two sons and two daughters, which meant they had both sons and daughters and were extremely happy.

Baili Qingyun's situation was very surprising. He was harassed by a woman from the Jianghu on the street. The two became a pair of happy enemies, and they had endless joy and lived a happy and fulfilling life.

As for Shen Xuanzhi and Shen Mubai, one became an important official and the other became a leader in the business world, and both were respected.

The Duke of Huguo's family prospered for a hundred years because of a queen who was always favored, intelligent and capable.

After more than 20 years of ruling together, Huo Yuchen and Lin Pianran finally decided to step down and pass the throne to Crown Prince Huo Tingxiao. His two younger brothers, one civil and one military, assisted him in securing his throne and continuing the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty.

After abdicating, Huo Yuchen and Lin Pianran lived a leisurely life planting flowers and plants, visiting friends, and playing with grandchildren.
