On this day, Emperor Yanxing issued an order to lead the army in person and appointed Bei Lingyao as the Queen Regent and the Crown Prince as Regent.
He was assisted by the Prime Minister and important officials from the six ministries.
The court officials accepted the order in silence. After the queen was crowned, Bei Lingyao brought the prince to court.
Emperor Yanxing had not yet left the capital, and he personally taught Bei Lingyao about the matters of the court meeting.
courtier:……
Do you have to be so obvious?
They thought that Emperor Yanxing appointed the queen as regent just to legitimize his actions.
But now it seems that this is going to produce another deposed empress dowager?
Many court officials expressed their opposition and did not approve of Emperor Yanxing leading the army in person.
"My mind is made up, my dear ministers, please do not say any more."
A month later, Emperor Yanxing led his army out of Beijing.
Bei Lingyao brought the prince, several children, and civil and military officials to see him off at the city gate.
Some people who are interested feel that their opportunity has come.
But Bei Lingyao would not deal with them. Once she cast her spiritual mark, the loyalty and treachery in the entire court would be clearly distinguished, and no little thoughts or actions could be hidden from her.
Soon, Bei Lingyao gathered his own men.
The first thing he did was to build a chariot with bows and crossbows.
The second thing is to make steel and create steel armor.
The third thing is the coal mine.
The Ministry of Industry was extremely busy.
The Ministry of Revenue is responsible for providing food and grass, as well as responding to disasters in various places.
Everything is stable in the court. Anyone with ulterior motives will be made to doubt their life as soon as they start.
As soon as Emperor Yanxing left Beijing, the princes felt that their opportunity had come.
"Report, Prince Yi is plotting a rebellion."
Jiang Liangji colluded with the Yu people to rebel, and now Prince Yi is rebelling again.
Everyone in the court changed color when they heard this.
But at this time everyone is still calm.
Bei Lingyao ordered troops to be sent for support.
However, Prince Han and Prince Xiang started fighting, but in fact they took the opportunity to annex the cities around their fiefdoms.
Prince Qing wrote a letter to the court complaining about the locust plague and requesting support from the court, asking for money and food.
None of these vassal kings were at ease, and some even believed that Emperor Yanxing would be besieged by Jiang Liangji, the Yu people, and even Prince Yi.
The King of Qi also rebelled.
The difference is that the King of Qi pointed his sword at the capital and attacked directly.
Emperor Yanxing was listed with ten crimes, including being unfilial, incompetent, and even suspected of not being the blood of the previous emperor.
As the most valued son of the late emperor, the King of Qi is full of confidence.
Although he has lost his legs, he has been secretly developing and expanding his power over the years.
Just for this day to come.
He can't wait any longer.
If he waits any longer, he will really get old.
And because the noble concubine was not in the capital, the King of Qi had no scruples.
The noble concubine was extremely excited, she felt that the throne and the position of empress dowager would belong to them and their son.
She had waited too long for this day.
"Son, I will wait until you win a great victory, and then send someone to bring me and the others to the palace."
"Don't worry, mother. The officials in the capital are now leaderless, and the empress and crown prince appointed by the young emperor are not a threat. Mother, just wait. I will definitely welcome you into the palace and take the throne.
The King of Qi spoke confidently and then looked at the Princess of Qi, his eyes full of affection and love, "Wan'er, I will definitely fulfill my promise and make you the Queen."
"Your Highness is the true Dragon Emperor. He will surely achieve his wish and ascend to the throne."
The Princess of Qi also looked at the King of Qi with a moved expression.
When she married the King of Qi, she was aiming for the position of future queen.
During the time of the previous emperor, the crown prince was in poor health, and the prince of Qi was the one most valued and cultivated by the previous emperor. Everyone knew that if nothing unexpected happened, the prince of Qi would become the new emperor.
But he didn't expect that the noble concubine lost her patience and killed the prince.
Even her legitimate son died. The person Princess Qi hated the most was her mother-in-law, Concubine Gui.
Originally, he was the head of his fiefdom, raising a concubine's son, and his life was harmonious and happy.
As soon as the noble concubine came, she wanted to interfere in everything, which made Princess Qi very upset.
Fortunately, the King of Qi always has her in his heart and has never forgotten the promise he made to her. Her father, brothers and mother's family will also fully support the King of Qi.
They had been kings and hegemons in their fiefdoms for more than ten years, but they felt that without the deposed Empress Dowager and Prime Minister Jiang, Emperor Yanxing was no better to fear.
What's more, Emperor Yanxing led the army in person, and it is hard to say whether he will come back alive.
The King of Qi is now going to take advantage of Emperor Yanxing's absence to occupy the capital.
The King of Qi's father-in-law was also a veteran general, and his brother-in-law was also a powerful military commander.
With the support of the 50,000 private troops trained for him by the Yue family, he is even more confident.
So even if the noble concubine disliked the Princess of Qi, she still had to tolerate this daughter-in-law.
After watching her son's army leave, the noble concubine glanced at the Princess of Qi and said that when her son ascended the throne, she would definitely choose a queen for him.
My niece from my mother's side is just right.
…
Before Emperor Yanxing's army could face Jiang Liangji and the Yu people, they encountered Prince Yi's army first.
As a young emperor who ascended the throne at the age of three and served as a puppet for more than ten years, many people did not take Emperor Yanxing seriously.
Prince Yi is even more so.
When the older sons of the previous emperor were fighting for the throne, Emperor Yanxing had nothing to do with it.
Therefore, Prince Yi did not take Emperor Yanxing seriously. When he learned that Emperor Yanxing's army was ahead, Prince Yi became excited.
"Well, you're here. What kind of abilities can this little puppet prince, who's been pampered in the deep palace, have? He might cry or pee in a moment."
Prince Yi burst into laughter as he spoke.
The generals around him also laughed.
"Come on, march at full speed! Whoever captures the little emperor alive will be granted the title of First Class Duke."
Prince Yi gave the order as if Emperor Yanxing was already in his pocket.
Although Emperor Yanxing is now in his twenties, he is still more than ten to twenty years older than his brothers such as Prince Yi.
