"Brother, are you crazy? Why are you suddenly resigning?"
The person who was most angry here was undoubtedly Chu Yan, who stared at Chu Yi with his eyes wide open.
Others were not clear about the situation and perhaps thought that the current emperor had relied on some trump card to force the Chu family to submit, but Chu Yan was clear about the situation.
Because now the Chu family has enough military power and influence among civil officials, and it has reached the point where they will not encounter any resistance even if they rebel directly.
But at this critical juncture, my eldest brother resigned?
What does this mean?
If this voluntary resignation really happened, Chu Yan didn't dare to imagine how outsiders would feel or what they would think.
Chu Yi: "I have been thinking about resigning for a long time. I naturally have my own reasons. You don't need to worry too much."
Chu Yan: "Brother!"
Chu Yi: "Don't you understand what I'm telling you? Am I still your big brother?"
Chu Yi's attitude was extremely firm. Even though Chu Yan didn't understand it at all, he still shut up angrily when he thought about his elder brother's methods.
Xiao Ling: "Lord Chu wants to resign? This is quite unusual. Could it be that I, as the Emperor, am not doing a good enough job? Is this what has caused Lord Chu to lose interest in a career in government?"
Chu Yi: "Your Majesty is a wise ruler throughout history. I naturally admire you. I am resigning because I have thought about it for a long time. I hope Your Majesty will agree."
Xiao Ling also repeatedly asked Chu Yi to stay with a special meaning. It was only after three times that he agreed to the request with great reluctance.
However, this action made all the civil and military officials in the court look at each other strangely.
The meeting is over.
It was also because of this inexplicable resignation that the Lord Tianguan, who had absolute power in the court, was completely away from the center of power.
Many officials couldn't wait to ask Chu Yi about his situation after leaving the court, but Chu Yi's answer made people imagine...
Although it was not stated explicitly, everyone was certain that Chu Yi had lost power.
What’s even more terrifying is that after a few days, Chu Yan’s military power in the Beijing camp was slowly taken over.
Soon, Chu Yan also resigned.
The Chu family fell!
Shortly after the Chu family fell, officials discovered that the brothers Chu Yi and Chu Yan had completely faded from the capital's sight.
Xiao Ling also began to clean up the remaining forces, and soon all the power in the court was hers.
Following this, she promoted the Minister of Revenue to be the new chief minister of the cabinet.
Da'an's development also ushered in a prosperous period, and the people also praised Emperor Chengping.

It can be said to be perfect, and it is in line with Xiao Ling's expectations from a long time ago.
But precisely because of this, Xiao Ling became alert.
This ending is so perfect!
Although Xiao Ling admitted that she was indeed a rare wise emperor and was confident in her own abilities, she was not conceited.
She didn't believe she could do it so perfectly.
Because of his identity, even if his identity is not exposed in the future, he will face too much resistance due to the issue of offspring.
This ending is full of falsehood from beginning to end.
There is something wrong with this little witch, a big problem!
There is an intention to deliberately tempt me to choose this ending.
Because any normal emperor would not refuse this almost perfect choice.
But Xiao Ling didn't have any idea at all.
Although she was very wary of the witch's intentions, she did not make them known at this time.
Because she now understood that with the witch's ability, even if she was the emperor, she would not be able to deal with her.
"What's the second ending?"
[Simulating ending two: "Your Majesty, I'm not polite."]

Life after marriage is as normal as usual.
With the help of Fu Xi, Xiao Ling was very familiar with walking between the two identities of the empress and Chen Tang.
She was also trying to find opportunities to disintegrate and stop the Chu bandits' power and rebellion. As time went by, she began to think about when it would be appropriate to tell the Chu bandits the truth.
At that time, the Zhenbei Army, which was marching south from the north, also arrived outside the capital.
Xiao Ling has enough strength to compete with Chu Yi. If the Chu thief wants to rebel at this time, it may not be easy to capture him.
Chu Yan: "Brother, the main force of the Zhenbei Army has already moved south. If we don't resist now, we may not have another chance in the future!"
Chu Yi's face was solemn, and he did not give a timely reply.
"The young emperor has some skills, but... he still lacks some courage."
Finally, after several considerations, Chu Yi finally decided to start an uprising, and before that, he also avoided all risks.
The rebellion was initially initiated by Chu Yan, who led the Beijing Camp to quickly control the entire Taining City, while Emperor Xiao Ling controlled the Imperial Guards and part of the Beijing Camp troops.
Yes, it was the new army that Xiao Ling asked Shi Qingxue to train.
But soon, Xiao Ling's army emerged like a dark horse and quickly gained an absolute advantage in the fighting.
Under the siege of the imperial army, Chu Yi finally fled to Anyang like a desperate enemy.
Xiao Ling: "Chu Yi, surrender now, and I will spare your life!"
Chu Yi: "Your Majesty's methods are indeed admired by me. Perhaps if Your Majesty had been born even ten years earlier, Da'an would have prospered under Your Majesty's rule. It's just a pity..."
"I...swear to never surrender to the Xiao family!"
It is said that Chu Yi was standing on the city wall with a sharp sword in his hand.
In Xiao Ling's view, this scene was like a traitor committing suicide out of frustration after his rebellion failed.
She was furious, and now she was feeling a bit anxious:
"Traitor, I gave you a chance because of Shen Tang's sake. I don't want Shen Tang to be a widow. Are you really so stubborn?"
At this moment, she was almost about to expose her identity.
But she still had some concerns, so she tried to persuade Chu Yi not to do anything stupid.
In Xiao Ling's mind, the Chu thief has always been a man who never admits defeat.
Although he is in a desperate situation now, his actions are not like those of the Chu bandits.
On the city wall, Chu Yi was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the emperor with some curiosity.
"Chen Tang? What is the relationship between your majesty and her?"
Xiao Ling: "I can't explain it to you right away. Anyway... come down first. As long as you admit all your mistakes, I'm willing to spare your life!"
Hearing this ambiguous answer, Chu Yi frowned and said in a cold voice:
"Since Your Majesty is unwilling to speak, then there is no need to say more."
Swish--
Suddenly, hundreds of soldiers from the Beijing camp around Xiao Ling turned their weapons and surrounded Xiao Ling.
And the one who led these soldiers to betray her was none other than the Grand Commander, Shi Qingxue, whom she had respected for a long time!
"Your Majesty, I am the one who has let you down. From the beginning to the end, I believed that Lord Chu would succeed in usurping the throne, so..."
General Zhaowu Shi Qingxue turned against his allies in the middle of the battle!
The spearhead was directed at the emperor who was leading the army in person.
