Chapter 144 Anger
Yan Xuanjing, who was pinned to the ground, saw this scene and was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
All he could see was blurry and the world was spinning.
The feeling of everything collapsing before his eyes was simply too much for him to accept...
The good news is that before he turned thirty, his father issued an imperial decree to appoint him as the crown prince.
Bad news, the person who was named crown prince was not him!
Yan Liuchen, who was standing next to him, also had a surprised expression on his face. He was stunned for a long time, with mixed emotions in his heart, but in the end, he calmed down.
Perhaps it was because, although he had been competing with his elder brother for the position of crown prince since he was a child, deep down he did not really want to sit in that position.
So Yan Liuchen was still able to remain calm at this moment.
He lowered his eyes and thought carefully, and felt that this was reasonable.
I just don't know if my mother will accept this outcome. After all, they were once on the same boat, but now their positions have changed and the situation has been reshuffled...
"Your Highness, Prince Lian has led an army of 100,000 and is approaching the Imperial City. Please make the decision yourself!"
Commander Li half-knelt on the ground and saluted, telling about the most tense situation in the imperial city.
The reason why he arrested Yan Xuanjing so quickly and efficiently was naturally because he had received the emperor's order.
As for passing the throne of crown prince to Yan Fengxiao without informing him, the purpose was of course to stabilize people's hearts, and also... to tie him up tightly and not let his son run away.
Yan Fengxiao rebelled?
That doesn't exist. The Emperor of Southern Yan handed over the country to him with both hands, who would he rebel against?
I have to say that the old emperor was completely in control of the atmosphere in this game.
He doesn't care about frame-ups or power struggles.
In his eyes, the most important thing is who can protect the Kingdom of Southern Yan and make it stronger and stronger.
Yan Fengxiao nodded slightly, figuring out what the old emperor was planning.
"How many imperial guards are there in the city?"
"Your Highness, there are 20,000 imperial guards stationed in the city year-round. The four gates in the east, south, west and north are guarded by over 20,000 men, so the total is less than 50,000!"
There are 100,000 troops outside the city, twice as many as those inside the city.
The person who led the team to besiege the imperial city this time was the emperor's younger brother, Prince Lian.
Prince Lian led 100,000 cavalrymen and mobilized them from all directions at full speed. The plan that had been prepared for many years finally came in handy at this moment!
Yan Xuanjing suddenly burst into laughter.
His throat was still full of a fishy-sweet taste, and his eyes stared at Yan Fengxiao viciously.
"If I had known earlier... I should have found a way to get rid of you instead of waiting until now!"
Yan Fengxiao turned around and glanced at Yan Xuanjing indifferently, as if he was looking at a dead person.
Before Yan Fengxiao could answer, Yan Xuanjing felt a pain in his chest.
"My uncle is leading a hundred thousand troops back to the imperial city to quell the rebellion. All of you traitors must be punished. I advise you to release this prince now. Otherwise, you will not be able to bear the consequences!"
Hearing this, Yan Fengxiao narrowed his eyes and walked up to Yan Xuanjing with a knife in hand.
Yan Xuanjing, who had known that reinforcements were coming and was trying to threaten Yan Fengxiao with his chest puffed out, suddenly became a little timid for some reason.
Upon seeing this, Commander Li quickly stood up and stepped forward. "Your Highness, calm down. The eldest prince is of royal blood after all. I will take him away immediately and hand him over to the emperor for disposal!"
He knew in his heart that if Yan Fengxiao got angry, it would really be fatal.
He had seen the people arranged by the emperor and investigated the murder of Yan Qinghao and Princess Su. He was stunned for a long time after knowing the truth.
Princess Su's identity had been exposed, but she still couldn't escape death. Yan Fengxiao raised his sword and chopped off two heads. He really didn't care about the consequences at all...
No, Yan Fengxiao might have been concerned, but he was a bit crazy and had no taboos. The attack from the Northern Frontier was not without reason, but he had only one response.
Beat them so that they dare not settle the score!
The most crucial point is that Yan Fengxiao not only said it, but also did it, and finally succeeded!
This is a big deal. No wonder the emperor values Yan Fengxiao so much. After learning that the other party is his son, he immediately appointed him as the crown prince!
Yan Fengxiao stopped and stared at Yan Xuanjing coldly.
"If you keep yelling, don't blame me for being rude."
Commander Li certainly knew that Yan Fengxiao was considering the favor of the Emperor of Southern Yan.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Take him away!"
He winked at the two people behind him, and someone immediately stepped forward, grabbed Yan Xuanjing from the ground, and escorted him out of the hall.
This time, Yan Xuanjing really didn't dare to say a word.
Because he realized that he had just been to the gates of hell.
If Commander Li hadn't spoken, he would have really died.
Yan Fengxiao casually placed his long sword horizontally on the top of the dragon throne, and stood on one side. He glanced at the ministers who were tied up tightly on both sides, and ordered the area to be cleared. The Golden Throne Hall soon became deserted.
"Commander Li!"
"I will be here!"
The rest of the imperial guards were guarding outside the gate.
The hall suddenly became empty, leaving only Commander Li, Yan Fengxiao, and Yan Liuchen.
Yan Liuchen was not involved in this. After all, he had always had a good relationship with Yan Fengxiao, so he managed to escape.
But at this moment, he looked at Yan Fengxiao with a complicated look. The corners of his mouth moved, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Should I call you Royal Brother or Royal Brother..."
In the past, he always called Brother Yan "Brother Yan", but he never thought about who was older, him or he.
Yan Fengxiao glanced at him and said, "Whatever you want."
"Is this still possible?"
Yan Liuchen was really speechless.
Yan Fengxiao gave orders to Commander Li.
"Mobilize all the troops stationed in the city and guard the four gates."
Commander Li hesitated for a moment. "Your Highness, if we really do this, Prince Lian will lead a hundred thousand troops to only break through one gate. With only ten thousand defenders, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for long..."
Yan Fengxiao asked: "How many days can you hold on?"
Commander Li roughly calculated: "Counting the archers defending the city and some of the city's defense buildings, it should be able to hold out for... five hours..."
The difference between a few hours and a few days is really too big.
Yan Fengxiao raised his eyebrows.
"Some garbage."
What he said was really quite insightful.
Because he was not mocking, but stating the facts, which made Commander Li blush and get angry.
I even felt a little ashamed to face people.
"Your Highness, what you said is absolutely right!"
Commander Li slapped his thigh and said, "They are not even close to the elite soldiers you brought with you. After this battle, I will definitely train them as much as possible!"
"Okay, that's enough time."
Yan Fengxiao raised his eyes, as if looking into the distance in a certain direction.
If you calculate the time, it should be almost time...
