A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine Volume 1 1006 The Black Pot, the Ninth Emperor's Uncle Uses the Trick to Depose the Crown Prince
Whether it is to save Liancheng from danger or to besiege Xiling to save Liancheng, it can only be proposed by one of the three countries. He must not reveal this idea. Once it is revealed, it will inevitably make people think too much. '.
Why does the Ninth Prince of Dongling care so much about Liancheng's survival?
After hearing Lan Jiuqing's explanation, Su Wenqing finally understood the complexity of the matter. He quickly calmed down and treated the matter with caution, so as not to be seen as involved by others.
The plan proposed by Nanling Jinxing to besiege Xiling and rescue Liancheng did not require the Ninth Prince to contact Dongling and Beiling. He would negotiate with Dongling and Beiling in the name of the Nanling royal family.
Nanling Jinxing only needs the Ninth Prince to support his plan and promote its implementation within his capabilities.
After two years of training and the battle of Taicheng, Nanling Jinxing's vision and ability have been rapidly improved.
In Nanling, he has firmly surpassed Nanling Jinfan, the native-born prince, and has become the most popular candidate for the next emperor of Nanling.
Thinking of the letter that Nanling Jinxing wrote to him, even the Ninth Prince had to praise him. Nanling Jinxing made rapid progress. If he continued to hone his skills for a few more years, he would probably be a strong enemy again.
However, the Ninth Prince did not regret helping Nanling Jinxing in the past. To the Ninth Prince, the royal families of the four countries were all enemies, and if Nanling Jinxing was gone, there would be others.
Rather than making an enemy of someone he knows nothing about, the Ninth Prince would rather fight against someone he is familiar with. At least he knows the other person's weaknesses and how they act.
The idea of besieging Xiling to save Liancheng is indeed a good one, he will definitely make good use of it...
With the secret help of the Ninth Prince, Nanling Jinxing's plan went smoothly. The emperors of Dongling and Beiling received his letters one after another. Persuaded by several ministers, the emperors of Dongling and Beiling agreed without much hesitation.
When Xiling Tianlei launched the third attack on Liancheng, Dongling, Beiling and Nanling simultaneously sent a declaration of war to Xiling, in the name of punishing Xiling's atrocities. Dongling sent out 100,000 troops, Nanling and Beiling each sent out 200,000 troops, forming an army of 500,000 to attack Xiling.
The smooth implementation of the plan was within Nanling Jinxing's expectations, and the number of soldiers and horses was also within Nanling Jinxing's expectations. 500,000 soldiers and horses were neither too many nor too few. Xiling was in a situation where it was neither good to fight nor not to fight.
Such a situation is extremely favorable for the Three Kingdoms Alliance.
But what Nanling Jinxing did not expect was that as soon as the three kingdoms issued a declaration of war, Chucheng, Yuncheng, Yecheng, Taicheng, Zongcheng, Ancheng, Jiancheng and Hancheng immediately issued orders from their city lords, praising the righteousness of the three kingdoms of Dongling, and then expressed that each of the eight cities would send out 100,000 troops to form an army of 800,000 to attack Xiling together with the three kingdoms.
The Lords of the Nine Cities have always understood that they are very weak compared to the four countries. If they want to avoid being destroyed, they must work together and not allow the four countries to have the possibility of defeating them one by one.
No matter how the nine cities disagree or fight with each other, facing the attack from the four countries, they will unite as one.
This time, Xiling Tianlei sent troops to Liancheng. After they received the news, they began to prepare for the battle. When they received the news that the three countries of Dongling intended to join forces to attack Xiling, they could no longer sit still.
The lords of each city took the initiative to contact each other, and with the help of someone with ulterior motives, each city agreed to send out 100,000 troops without any hesitation, so that the Xiling countries could see the unity of the nine cities.
For a city, one hundred thousand soldiers and horses could be considered all, or at least more than half, of their troops and horses.
Several cities had to mobilize all their forces to send out 100,000 soldiers. Under normal circumstances, they would definitely not be willing to send out so many soldiers, but this time the situation was different, because...
Ahem, Buddha said it cannot be explained!
"Can any lord tell me what's going on?" Emperor Xiling threw the report to the ground. The emperor, who usually did not show his emotions, was so angry that his eyes turned red and the ball bearings on his head made a crackling sound.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. We, your subjects, are terrified." Faced with the emperor's anger, officials from all countries would only say this.
"Calm down? How can you ask me to calm down? Millions of troops are about to arrive at the city. If I continue to calm down, I will become the king of a fallen country." The eyes of Emperor Xiling bulged out, and he looked like he wanted to eat someone, which showed how angry he was.
It is difficult to offend public anger, but now Xiling has offended public anger. The three kingdoms and eight cities have joined forces with 1.3 million soldiers and horses. Even if Xiling mobilizes the entire country, it is powerless to resist.
"I am terrified." Dong, dong, dong... Civil and military officials kowtowed continuously, as if each of them was not afraid of the pain. The only sounds in the hall were those of kowtows and shouts of "terrified".
Hearing this, Emperor Xiling became even angrier. He slapped the armrest hard and stood up suddenly: "Shut up, if you keep making noise, I will drag you all out and chop you into pieces."
The emperor's majesty was unquestionable; the sounds of kowtow and "fear" stopped abruptly, and all the ministers in the court knelt stiffly on the spot, not daring to even raise their heads.
Emperor Xiling held the chair with one hand and rubbed his aching temple with the other. He glanced at the ministers kneeling below, sighed heavily, and said, "My dear ministers, do you have any countermeasures?"
The emperor's response was answered by increasingly cautious breathing sounds. Emperor Xiling was not angry. He had always thought that it was always like this. When something happened, these officials would become speechless. As an emperor, he was used to it.
Emperor Xiling began to call out names, and his eyes swept to Mr. Yinli who was kneeling at the head of the group: "Lord Lin, what do you think of this matter?"
Mr. Yinli comes from the Xiling Lin family.
As a minister who gradually gained the emperor's trust, Mr. Yinli could guess about 80% of the emperor's thoughts, if not 100%.
Mr. Yinli knelt down and took a step forward without hesitation. "In reply to the emperor, I, Xiling, have behaved uprightly. The Three Kingdoms and Eight Cities must have had some misunderstandings. When the time comes, your majesty only needs to send an envoy to explain the misunderstanding."
Misunderstanding, this word is well used. Emperor Xiling nodded with satisfaction: "Lord Lin is right. I will leave this matter to you."
The faces of all the ministers changed. Those who understood and those who didn't understood were all extremely uneasy. This was not something that could be explained away by a "misunderstanding".
"I will obey your order and live up to your high expectations." Mr. Yinli accepted the task without any pressure, because this task was just a follow-up. The most important thing was...
"Your Majesty, I have something else to report." Mr. Yinli knew the emperor's thoughts well and spoke slowly.
"Approved." The emperor sat back on the dragon throne steadily and said with great momentum.
He knew that it had begun. Since this was a "misunderstanding", Xiling had to expose the "misunderstanding" and leave the Three Kingdoms and Eight Cities with no reason to send troops.
Mr. Yinli was not afraid either, and said word by word: "Your Majesty, I want to file a complaint against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
As soon as these words were spoken, the officials in the hall were speechless again, and they lowered their heads even lower, fearing that they would be in trouble. The officials of Xiling Tianlei's faction wanted to speak, but... the atmosphere in the hall and the emperor's eyes made them dare not speak.
The emperor was very satisfied with the submission of the courtiers. Gu Zuo asked in confusion: "Mr. Yinli wants to sue the prince? What's wrong with the prince?"
"In reply to the emperor, I want to accuse His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of being disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust, and unworthy of being the crown prince." Mr. Yinli's voice was not loud, but every word he said was loud and clear.
He is disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust, and unworthy of being the crown prince. This is to push Xiling Tianlei out to take the blame...
