The princes fought fiercely until the eldest prince emerged victorious and was about to ascend the throne. However, at this moment, the third prince arrived with the imperial edict, which was read out by the chief eunuch.
The eldest prince naturally disagreed and wanted to fight back, but he never expected that the Dragon and Tiger Army, the emperor's personal guard, would surround the Forbidden City.
As soon as the Dragon and Tiger Army arrived, they took Gu Hanyu as their main weapon.
In the face of absolute force, all voices calmed down and the ministers all accepted the third prince as emperor.
This battle for the throne lasted for two days and finally came to a successful conclusion with Gu Hanyu sitting on the throne.
In addition to the new emperor's enthronement, there was another thing that people in Chang'an City talked about. That was that General Beida, the Marquis of Zhongwu, adopted Mu Zhitao, the second in command of the Lei family, as his adopted daughter.
Everyone thought it was just a casual recognition, but General Bei took her very seriously and even wrote her name into the family tree. As a result, Mu Zhitao gained a prominent position in the aristocratic power of the Southern Tang Kingdom.
Not only that, the new emperor also issued an imperial decree at the ceremony held by the Northern General to recognize his adopted daughter, bestowing the title of "Princess Pingyang" on Mu Zhitao.
Some people speculated that the new emperor's move was to win over the Marquis Zhongwu. Only those involved knew that he was not trying to win over the Marquis Zhongwu, but only to win over Mu Zhitao.
After seeing Bei Yutang's methods, as long as Gu Hanyu is not a fool, he will know what to do.
To put it bluntly, without Bei Yutang's help, he would never have been able to sit on the throne, and even if he did, he would probably have to pay a huge price.

Under the pear tree, two figures sat opposite each other. The warm autumn sun shone through the branches, scattering spots of light, and the soft light that penetrated fell on the two exquisite and beautiful facial features, making them look hazy and unreal.
"Tang'er." Feng Lihen placed the last chess piece.
Bei Yutang raised her head and looked at him.
"Have you guessed it a long time ago?" Feng Lihen said again.
Bei Yutang chuckled, "What do you think?"
"As expected, I can't hide anything from you." Feng Lihen said with a smile.
"Are you ready to confess?" Bei Yutang looked at him with a smile.
"My lady, won't you be unhappy that your husband has kept this secret from you?"
"What do you think?" Bei Yutang raised his eyebrows.
Feng Lihen's expression was stern. "I am afraid that after my wife knows about this, she will think that I am not worthy of you."
"What do you mean by that?" Bei Yutang said, as if something had occurred to him. "You're not the thousand-year-old monster I always talk about, are you?"
Feng Lihen's face turned dark.
If Ming was here and heard this, he would definitely say that the Lord God King is not just a ten-thousand-year-old monster, he is a million-million-year-old monster who has lived as long as the sky.
Seeing his expression, Bei Yutang chuckled, "He really is an old cow eating young grass."
Feng Lihen's face turned even darker.
Bei Yutang seemed oblivious to his expression and continued sarcastically, "Let me guess. You're not thousands of years old, are you? No, since you're a ten-thousand-year-old monster, you must be over ten thousand years old. I'm only in my twenties at best. In comparison..."
Bei Yutang looked him up and down with her bright eyes, looking disgusted.
"Should I consider finding a young handsome guy again? A handsome guy is romantic and knows how to make people happy." Bei Yutang looked thoughtful, as if she was thinking about what kind of handsome guy to find.
Feng Lihen's face couldn't be any darker, and the next moment, she was held in someone's arms.
